Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, earlier in the show, we got to hear about
everybody's break that we had our Christmas break where we
were on and we all were run around doing different things.
One thing we didn't get to you because we ran
out of time is Sky's latest trip to her homeland, Oregon.
Let's find out how that trip went. Right now, we
(00:21):
ain't done yet, It's time for the one podcast find
yet completely uncensored and unacting filtered except for that part
the party.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
The show's after show starts now.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
So you made the grand return to Oregon. Now, this
trip was intended to feel the cold, see what it
was actually like in Oregon when it is a little
bit cooler, because you guys went there in like the
late summer right last time you went.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Yeah, So, about six years ago, my husband made the
declary that we were going to retire in coastal Oregon,
and he showed me a bunch of properties online and
I'm like, well, that looks beautiful and compared to California
real estate prices, that also looks beautiful. But you guys
thought it was a wild decision based on the fact
(01:18):
that we had never been there nor even knew anybody
who had actually been there. So that's when we decided,
like Eddie said, this past summer, we should actually probably
visit there, yes, yes, and look around a bit, maybe,
you know, do a hike or two. Maybe actually visit
(01:38):
one of these towns we claim that we want to
retire to. So we did that in the summer and
it was again retiring soon. No, no, no time soon.
This is a long time, a long term plan here
that we have working out where we sky.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Sky and her husband love pipe dreams. They love a
good pipe dream. They love rationalizing it, wrapping their mind
around it and running with it.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
I've known Scott for now twenty five years. Yeah, she's
been talking about retiring for twenty five years, like wanting
to plan for it. Like so this isn't something that's
come out of the blue.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
But I'm talking about like the moving or like like
things that people are like, nah, I can't do that.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
That's crazy. They're like, no, you can do it, and
we're doing it.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Yeah, saying wait, yeah, And Eddie's right. Ever since I
was young, I was worried about retirement, Like before I
even started working, I was worried about retirement because my
dad would always talk about his four oh, one K
and Social Security and like when this is happening.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
It's got bad to plan for a retirement. Yeah, but
I mean to do this extensive amount of work for
a retirement is pretty just different.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Yeah, you got one foot in yesterday, one foot and tomorrow,
and you're shitting on the present.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Man.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
I mean, can I can I enjoy the president while
I have?
Speaker 5 (02:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Whould you steal that recoverything?
Speaker 5 (02:57):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Is just making it.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I thought it was a big vicism.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
No, that came from somewhere. I didn't think it was somewhere.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Something. Okay. So yeah, so that has kind of been
what we've been talking about. And yes, this is not tomorrow,
this is not even five years from now. This is
like retirement time. But what we learned when we bought
a little rental house in Claremont that the years kind
of fly by and next thing, you know, like with
(03:32):
our little house we have in Claremont, that if you
would ask me, I would have been like, oh, we
bought that two years ago. We're like almost ten years
in on having that mortgage paid off. So we're like, well,
why don't we do that with the house that we're
actually gonna live in is let other people rent it
and then by retirement time the house is like half
paid off.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
No, it sounds good in theory, but why not just
keep renting the house that you've already put money into.
You've already you have renters, you live near it, so
God for businessing happens. You could be there and then
when you're ready to retire, you could sell that house
and then go buy a house in Oregon.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Well you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Yeah, But because we feel in all our real real
estate expertise that the Oregon Coast is going to get
more and more discovered, we call it the Western Wave.
And this is why I have my.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Brother in law lives in Oregon, and when I told
them Sky's plan about going to the Oregon coast, he
couldn't get over it in a sense where he's like,
why would you want to live there? It's the weather's
not good, it's terribly windy. It's really you always have
to wear a hoodie there. There's really nothing to do.
So he couldn't. And I was surprised to hear that
as well.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Because it's beautiful, you always have to wear a hoodie,
and I don't have to do anything? Why would skoy?
But people that's me, that's that's.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
But how is that the Western wave? Then people wanting
to move there? No, so because not everyone's like you
is right right?
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Yeah? So for me it's perfect because I don't want
to do anything and I want to wear hoodies all
the time. But we just believe that it's one of
those kind of like last undiscovered coastal areas where it's
just going to get more and more expensive. And we
have the house in Claremont, like you say that, we
have no plans for Like when we first got it,
(05:21):
we're like, oh, maybe we'll retire there, but we don't
want to retire there. We don't want to live there.
We don't want to live in that house in that neighborhood.
And we can basically swap the two houses. There's like
some tax thing where you can basically swap that house
for the other house. So we're gonna the plan is
to swap it for a house in Oregon. Let someone
else rent it. Yes, the or there will have to
(05:42):
be a property management company because it's going to be.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Hard to rent.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
From what I hear, it's a very you know, you
don't live there three sixty five. You only live there
like during the summer to visit that kind of an area.
It's not like a San Diego where you want to
live here all year round, like if you're a snowbird
kind of thing, like my parents live in Florida. Snowbirds
leave New York to come to Florida and then they
go back.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
So I don't know, I would.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
I'm interested to see how you're going to rent it
in like.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
The winter months.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Yeah, So I don't know either. But from everybody we've
talked to, there's so many vacation rentals that actually full
time rentals are hard to come by and they're very
in demand. So somebody that's the plan. I don't know.
That's what people claim who live there, but who knows
if that's true or not. So Eddie's right, we went
there in summer. We thought it was beautiful, but then
(06:30):
everybody's like, well, how are you going to do the win?
Speaker 1 (06:32):
But even in summer, yeah, you were a little cold,
oh yes, oh yes. But when you're down by the
coast in Oregon, it's not like the coast here.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
It doesn't get like seventy five chili. It never gets that.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
To sure, and so we kept saying, Okay, Skuy, if
you were even cold in the summer in Oregon, what
is it going to be like when it actually gets
cold in Oregon? Because I mean it's it's a different
level than what you're ever used to. And so you
decided to go there after Christmas?
Speaker 5 (07:03):
Right, yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Yeah, So we did Christmas here while we did my
mom's wedding, and then we did Christmas wedding. Yeah okay,
so yes, right after Christmas, we flew to Oregon and
we were going to stay in the coastal region and
(07:25):
we were gonna feel it and see what it was
actually like, and then also look at some houses while
we were there with a real estate agent. So we
flew there, and uh, you know me, I don't like
connecting flights, not.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Connecting nobody nobody.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
Out.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Yes, Sky goes to the level of like, she won't
go somewhere, shall play top dollar so that she won't.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Have to get the same way.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Yes, thank you, you get it.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Stupid thing I ever.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Yeah, so I don't pretty much do connecting flights. I
know it sounds weird, but there's certain things that people
aren't into, and for me, it's a connecting flight and
so there's one flight a day in and out direct
from San Diego to Eugene, Oregon. Soday, there is just
one flight in, one flight out if you know, you
don't want to connect a day. And so we took
(08:18):
that flight, which was a bit unfortunate because the flight
there didn't get us there until like five point thirty,
which you think, oh, it's not too late, but it's
already dark out and I'm driving. And because yeah, he's
not the driver in the family. He you know, whether
(08:40):
somebody yeah, whether you say it's because I'm too type A,
whether it's because it's like, you know, driving Miss Daisy
with this guy over here, whatever the reason, I am
the driver. And we get there and we land and
it is pouring race.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Oh yeah, well that sounds fun.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
I don't know much about Oregon, but I think that
I've heard that.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
It's everyone's going to be moving.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
There soon guys, well not everybody, but I'm just saying estate,
the real estate prices.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
A friend I had a friend tell me that Tulsa
was the new Austin.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (09:12):
How's that going?
Speaker 3 (09:13):
I don't think it's going crazy, not the new Austin.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
And not the new Austin. I don't think. So. I
have another friend telling me Oregon's the new San Diego.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
That I heard the way.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
To thank you. I'm over thank you for saying that.
So yeah, so it was not too thrilled. The pouring rain.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
You're driving in the dark in the rain, and you
don't really know where you're going.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Yeah, and fun fact about coastal Oregon, certain parts don't
get cell service. So yes, you've put the say, you
put the directions into your phone, but you'll get to
a point where they just disappear and you're there's no directions,
Oh my god on your phone.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
So okay, how far of a drive from the airport
is it to where you need to go?
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Two hours? It is a two hour drive.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
You're not going to get to Everyone's moving almost like
nine right.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Yes, well later because they're driving slower.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
They might have to stop.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
We have to stop and get a little something to eat.
So it was like eight o'clock and.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Was there bumper to bumper traffic going there because everyone's
got the same idea.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
No, okay, so you're you're the traffic everyone's going there.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
I just said it's bumper a bumper because everyone's trying
to buy.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
On the low end of the wave and then eventually
it's going to be twenty footers.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Yeah, tsunami later.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
But I totally.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Imagine, imagine, imagine being like, hey, you want it's two
hours from the airport, but it's the new spot, the fuck.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
The spot you were making all this ship off. Nobody
said it two hours, Yes, it is two hours. That
was the that's the maximum drive for We.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Said, oh so there's Oh you wouldn't go first.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
I thought you were saying, that's that's the far hours
you as you can go.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
This is as far as yoga.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Yeah, well, I mean you could go more north, more south,
but two hours, yeah, washing, okay, okay, so yeah, so
two hours, and it's not off to a good start
because the hobby starts doing his ship where he's questioning
the GPS.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
Did that happen last time you guys got lost?
Speaker 2 (11:26):
We ended up on a dirt fucking road last time
for like thirty oh.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Yeah, and then you had to pissed outside like.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Like literally like a It was crazy. It was crazy.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
So why would he do that again?
Speaker 2 (11:38):
In the rain, in the pitch black, in the middle
of the floor. Would I finally at that point, I
shut the fuck up. Yeah, I said that with my face,
not with my words, and said, I think I'm gonna
trust the phone this time. And even if it takes
us a couple extra minutes, I'd rather not be lost
with fucking bigfoot in the woods, like, give me a break. Oh.
(12:00):
We get there finally, and I'm you know, I'm kind
of white knuckle in it because I'm not really used
to driving in rain or honestly, the dark or any
of that. Ship. Uh So we get there and we
it's too late to check into the hotel.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
Wait, how can it be too late to check in?
Speaker 2 (12:17):
They have a cutoff time of seven pm?
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Guys, everyone's going to be moving. Everyone's going to be
moving there soon. So where's the idiots? Okay, just to
be fucking.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Clear, life going on.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Everyone's moving there.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
So just sleeping in the car.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Well, I didn't they.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Hear about the one flight a day?
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Can't they?
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Like, you know, I've had like airbnbs or things like
that where they you know, check in and they leave
you the key or something like I'm paying for the room.
I got to be able to get in. Sorry that
Floyd isn't gonna let me in or check me in.
I get that, but come on, like that can't be
a thing like car.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Like car, shit happens, like accidents happen where you getting where?
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Yeah? Right, well, so if you're gonna be later than
seven pm, you need to call ahead of time. Floyd
coming back. And then they have the smart locks on
the door and the seven Yes, yes, well I guess
they have the smart locks so they don't have to
be there, so they can just tell you the code
and you go to the room yourself.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Well, luckily there's places that are probably openly to get
a bite to eat.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Right, Oh, well there actually are.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Oh really that's studying.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Well, I mean there's Starbucks, McDonald's, Dairy Queen, there's a
pizza joint, there's the Fish and Chip's place.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
The New York City.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Well, no again New York City.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
What about a curry shot?
Speaker 2 (13:41):
I didn't see curry. I did see ty food. I
did see but no, there was plenty to eat, but
this place fucking no checking in after seven. So so
we get the code. We finally get to our room
and it is fucking ice box. No. Yeah, like you
you would think that they would the heater on knowing
(14:01):
people are coming or checking in. No, none of that
has happened.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
I just pulled the dead body out in the yard.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
What temperature are we thinking? Oh, like you didn't look
at the thermostat.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
It was a dial. It doesn't actually taste right, yeah,
and it jumps. It's every like twenty, so you could
put it on fifty or the dash in between fifty
and seventy, or you coulut it on seventy, like this
is an old school, so it's off. So it's it's
below fifty in there, like ivy room. Oh it's cold.
(14:34):
It's cold. We're leaving our jackets and our beanies and
like everything on right outside.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
What does it feel like?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Honestly outside, it felt like how it felt in summer
outside in Oregon. You know what I mean. It's cold,
it's windy. Yeah, I think the only difference, and it
actually felt less cold. But just because we were prepared
with gear. The first time, I brought like San Diego
fucking clothes because I'm like, oh at summertime. This time
we actually brought thermals and jackets and beanies and gloves
(15:05):
and shit like that. So we finally get the room
heat it all the way up okay, crisis averted. Turns
out my husband the one complaining about the cold more
than anybody else. Didn't see it come and he even
he's like, he's like, how are you not complaining right now?
Like I don't know. I put my jacket on, I
don't know. So yeah, So we have an entire day.
(15:27):
The first entire day is all aquarium, sea animal ship.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
The first day, the first day, Yeah, wouldn't you want
the first day to be about like TVs TCV. Wouldn't
you want to go look at places because you're excited,
you want to go to houses you want to and
then and then the next day we'll do the weird
aquarium things.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
Didn't you go to the aquarium before?
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Whatever going on? Here's the thing, you guys. When we
went during the summer, they didn't offer the octopus experiences,
and this time they did. It's where you pay an
extra sixty dollars a person to get up close and
personal with an octopus. You hold it so it's you're
in a group.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
Why would you want to do that?
Speaker 2 (16:14):
And like the octopus puts its like bottom up to
the surface and like you touch the tentacles and it
wraps its tentacles like around. You charge you for that,
and they only let like how many of us six
people total in the group, and they only do it
twice a week and one of the days was Saturday.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
So that's why you had to do it first.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Yes, So that octopus experience basically set the schedule for
the entire ties.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
This is so wild.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Ye went to the Sea Lion Caves, had a bit
of a claustrophobia issue, almost didn't go down, kind of
like had a weirdo like panic moment. Seriously, like I'm
getting worse as I'm getting older with like you.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Forced your husband to go to this fucking cave and.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
He almost had to do it himself because I was
so getting weird. I wouldn't go down to Saturday.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
There was football on Saturday, and this poor bastard is
looking at aquarium.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
Well that means Sunday all day they're going to be
looking at houses.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Yeah, well you got that right. The way you got
that right. The only reason he didn't divorce me because
I set the schedule for everything and gave two ships
about football was that the Niners were playing on Monday
night and that's his team. So like the really lucked
out for me, because yeah, I don't know how that
would have gone if the Niners were playing during that
(17:35):
U But Sunday we went and looked at houses all day.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
Weather this is all that really matters. So are you there?
Speaker 2 (17:42):
So Saturday was on and off raining, okay, Like I
was in a sweatshirt with a thermal underneath and jeans
and my ugs, and I was fine. I mean, granted,
I'm not hanging out outside, you know.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
And then Sunday, but the weather like that kind of
either didn't like depress you at all. Like if I
got to live here, I gotta see this most of
the time, and like you're okay with that. I get
not being coold because you're gonna be inside. Yeah that's funny, gloomy.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
So if people you know off themselves they live in Seattle.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Well it's kind of tough because you're talking to a
chick coming from San Diego. So it was kind of
almost fun like, oh, this is what win are supposed
to be like like ooh, winter vibe or a couple
of days. So that was day one, so I'm I'm not,
you know, thinking anything negative of it. Day two looking
at houses, sunny, beautiful, day all day long, so like
(18:37):
we seriously lucked out. I mean it it was gorgeous,
so you could see all the views and everything was
beautiful and just in yeah, so totally normal. So we
do all that. We had a nice dinner that night,
and then the next day, which was the day we
were checking out and leaving, the Monday, really rainy that day.
(19:00):
She's back, yeah, yeah, and everything shuts down super early
every you know, as I said, check in seven o'clock.
So there were lots of puzzles, games of Jenga, games
of Clue playing in our hotel room. Because I mean that's.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Like, yeah, I like I like playing games too, but
you know.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
On vacation you probably do something a little different.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
This is a vacation.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
This is this was the work in the hotel playing Jenga. Yeah,
uh no, I mean maybe I know the Western wave
is coming and everyone's going to be doing this in
a few years, playing Jenga. So you know, I'm you know, clearly,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Yeah, well, you're also not a shut in, so you
know this is a shut in stream.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Yeah, it's a great point. I don't know what's completely
opposite of anything, you know, I would want to do
so after.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
This trip, Yes, what is your now prevailing thought?
Speaker 1 (19:54):
We know, no matter what, it could have been below
zero and out of spite you're moving. Literally, we're telling
you this is the one of the weirder.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Fact that I wasn't cold at all. The boo that
pussy he was cold.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Give me a break, I mean give me, I mean,
give me answer for everything, no matter what you're going.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
But the thought process has it changed one way or
the other. No, Western wave still happened.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Western wave is still happening. Global warming, everything's going to
be getting a little warmer.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
You know, you're relying global warming.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
I mean, think about fucking crazy that
Well, earlier in the show, we got to hear about
everybody's break that we had our Christmas break where we
were on and we all were run around doing different things.
One thing we didn't get to you because we ran
out of time is Sky's latest trip to her homeland, Oregon.
Let's find out how that trip went. Right now, we
(00:21):
ain't done yet, It's time for the one podcast find
yet completely uncensored and unacting filtered except for that part
the party.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
The show's after show starts now.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
So you made the grand return to Oregon. Now, this
trip was intended to feel the cold, see what it
was actually like in Oregon when it is a little
bit cooler, because you guys went there in like the
late summer right last time you went.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Yeah, So, about six years ago, my husband made the
declary that we were going to retire in coastal Oregon,
and he showed me a bunch of properties online and
I'm like, well, that looks beautiful and compared to California
real estate prices, that also looks beautiful. But you guys
thought it was a wild decision based on the fact
(01:18):
that we had never been there nor even knew anybody
who had actually been there. So that's when we decided,
like Eddie said, this past summer, we should actually probably
visit there, yes, yes, and look around a bit, maybe,
you know, do a hike or two. Maybe actually visit
(01:38):
one of these towns we claim that we want to
retire to. So we did that in the summer and
it was again retiring soon. No, no, no time soon.
This is a long time, a long term plan here
that we have working out where we sky.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Sky and her husband love pipe dreams. They love a
good pipe dream. They love rationalizing it, wrapping their mind
around it and running with it.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
I've known Scott for now twenty five years. Yeah, she's
been talking about retiring for twenty five years, like wanting
to plan for it. Like so this isn't something that's
come out of the blue.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
But I'm talking about like the moving or like like
things that people are like, nah, I can't do that.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
That's crazy. They're like, no, you can do it, and
we're doing it.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Yeah, saying wait, yeah, And Eddie's right. Ever since I
was young, I was worried about retirement, Like before I
even started working, I was worried about retirement because my
dad would always talk about his four oh, one K
and Social Security and like when this is happening.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
It's got bad to plan for a retirement. Yeah, but
I mean to do this extensive amount of work for
a retirement is pretty just different.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Yeah, you got one foot in yesterday, one foot and tomorrow,
and you're shitting on the present.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Man.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
I mean, can I can I enjoy the president while
I have?
Speaker 5 (02:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Whould you steal that recoverything?
Speaker 5 (02:57):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Is just making it.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I thought it was a big vicism.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
No, that came from somewhere. I didn't think it was somewhere.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Something. Okay. So yeah, so that has kind of been
what we've been talking about. And yes, this is not tomorrow,
this is not even five years from now. This is
like retirement time. But what we learned when we bought
a little rental house in Claremont that the years kind
of fly by and next thing, you know, like with
(03:32):
our little house we have in Claremont, that if you
would ask me, I would have been like, oh, we
bought that two years ago. We're like almost ten years
in on having that mortgage paid off. So we're like, well,
why don't we do that with the house that we're
actually gonna live in is let other people rent it
and then by retirement time the house is like half
paid off.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
No, it sounds good in theory, but why not just
keep renting the house that you've already put money into.
You've already you have renters, you live near it, so
God for businessing happens. You could be there and then
when you're ready to retire, you could sell that house
and then go buy a house in Oregon.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Well you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Yeah, But because we feel in all our real real
estate expertise that the Oregon Coast is going to get
more and more discovered, we call it the Western Wave.
And this is why I have my.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Brother in law lives in Oregon, and when I told
them Sky's plan about going to the Oregon coast, he
couldn't get over it in a sense where he's like,
why would you want to live there? It's the weather's
not good, it's terribly windy. It's really you always have
to wear a hoodie there. There's really nothing to do.
So he couldn't. And I was surprised to hear that
as well.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Because it's beautiful, you always have to wear a hoodie,
and I don't have to do anything? Why would skoy?
But people that's me, that's that's.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
But how is that the Western wave? Then people wanting
to move there? No, so because not everyone's like you
is right right?
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Yeah? So for me it's perfect because I don't want
to do anything and I want to wear hoodies all
the time. But we just believe that it's one of
those kind of like last undiscovered coastal areas where it's
just going to get more and more expensive. And we
have the house in Claremont, like you say that, we
have no plans for Like when we first got it,
(05:21):
we're like, oh, maybe we'll retire there, but we don't
want to retire there. We don't want to live there.
We don't want to live in that house in that neighborhood.
And we can basically swap the two houses. There's like
some tax thing where you can basically swap that house
for the other house. So we're gonna the plan is
to swap it for a house in Oregon. Let someone
else rent it. Yes, the or there will have to
(05:42):
be a property management company because it's going to be.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Hard to rent.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
From what I hear, it's a very you know, you
don't live there three sixty five. You only live there
like during the summer to visit that kind of an area.
It's not like a San Diego where you want to
live here all year round, like if you're a snowbird
kind of thing, like my parents live in Florida. Snowbirds
leave New York to come to Florida and then they
go back.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
So I don't know, I would.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
I'm interested to see how you're going to rent it
in like.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
The winter months.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Yeah, So I don't know either. But from everybody we've
talked to, there's so many vacation rentals that actually full
time rentals are hard to come by and they're very
in demand. So somebody that's the plan. I don't know.
That's what people claim who live there, but who knows
if that's true or not. So Eddie's right, we went
there in summer. We thought it was beautiful, but then
(06:30):
everybody's like, well, how are you going to do the win?
Speaker 1 (06:32):
But even in summer, yeah, you were a little cold,
oh yes, oh yes. But when you're down by the
coast in Oregon, it's not like the coast here.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
It doesn't get like seventy five chili. It never gets that.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
To sure, and so we kept saying, Okay, Skuy, if
you were even cold in the summer in Oregon, what
is it going to be like when it actually gets
cold in Oregon? Because I mean it's it's a different
level than what you're ever used to. And so you
decided to go there after Christmas?
Speaker 5 (07:03):
Right, yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Yeah, So we did Christmas here while we did my
mom's wedding, and then we did Christmas wedding. Yeah okay,
so yes, right after Christmas, we flew to Oregon and
we were going to stay in the coastal region and
(07:25):
we were gonna feel it and see what it was
actually like, and then also look at some houses while
we were there with a real estate agent. So we
flew there, and uh, you know me, I don't like
connecting flights, not.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Connecting nobody nobody.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
Out.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Yes, Sky goes to the level of like, she won't
go somewhere, shall play top dollar so that she won't.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Have to get the same way.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Yes, thank you, you get it.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Stupid thing I ever.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Yeah, so I don't pretty much do connecting flights. I
know it sounds weird, but there's certain things that people
aren't into, and for me, it's a connecting flight and
so there's one flight a day in and out direct
from San Diego to Eugene, Oregon. Soday, there is just
one flight in, one flight out if you know, you
don't want to connect a day. And so we took
(08:18):
that flight, which was a bit unfortunate because the flight
there didn't get us there until like five point thirty,
which you think, oh, it's not too late, but it's
already dark out and I'm driving. And because yeah, he's
not the driver in the family. He you know, whether
(08:40):
somebody yeah, whether you say it's because I'm too type A,
whether it's because it's like, you know, driving Miss Daisy
with this guy over here, whatever the reason, I am
the driver. And we get there and we land and
it is pouring race.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Oh yeah, well that sounds fun.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
I don't know much about Oregon, but I think that
I've heard that.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
It's everyone's going to be moving.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
There soon guys, well not everybody, but I'm just saying estate,
the real estate prices.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
A friend I had a friend tell me that Tulsa
was the new Austin.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (09:12):
How's that going?
Speaker 3 (09:13):
I don't think it's going crazy, not the new Austin.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
And not the new Austin. I don't think. So. I
have another friend telling me Oregon's the new San Diego.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
That I heard the way.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
To thank you. I'm over thank you for saying that.
So yeah, so it was not too thrilled. The pouring rain.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
You're driving in the dark in the rain, and you
don't really know where you're going.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Yeah, and fun fact about coastal Oregon, certain parts don't
get cell service. So yes, you've put the say, you
put the directions into your phone, but you'll get to
a point where they just disappear and you're there's no directions,
Oh my god on your phone.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
So okay, how far of a drive from the airport
is it to where you need to go?
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Two hours? It is a two hour drive.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
You're not going to get to Everyone's moving almost like
nine right.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Yes, well later because they're driving slower.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
They might have to stop.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
We have to stop and get a little something to eat.
So it was like eight o'clock and.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Was there bumper to bumper traffic going there because everyone's
got the same idea.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
No, okay, so you're you're the traffic everyone's going there.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
I just said it's bumper a bumper because everyone's trying
to buy.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
On the low end of the wave and then eventually
it's going to be twenty footers.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Yeah, tsunami later.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
But I totally.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Imagine, imagine, imagine being like, hey, you want it's two
hours from the airport, but it's the new spot, the fuck.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
The spot you were making all this ship off. Nobody
said it two hours, Yes, it is two hours. That
was the that's the maximum drive for We.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Said, oh so there's Oh you wouldn't go first.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
I thought you were saying, that's that's the far hours
you as you can go.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
This is as far as yoga.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Yeah, well, I mean you could go more north, more south,
but two hours, yeah, washing, okay, okay, so yeah, so
two hours, and it's not off to a good start
because the hobby starts doing his ship where he's questioning
the GPS.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
Did that happen last time you guys got lost?
Speaker 2 (11:26):
We ended up on a dirt fucking road last time
for like thirty oh.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Yeah, and then you had to pissed outside like.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Like literally like a It was crazy. It was crazy.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
So why would he do that again?
Speaker 2 (11:38):
In the rain, in the pitch black, in the middle
of the floor. Would I finally at that point, I
shut the fuck up. Yeah, I said that with my face,
not with my words, and said, I think I'm gonna
trust the phone this time. And even if it takes
us a couple extra minutes, I'd rather not be lost
with fucking bigfoot in the woods, like, give me a break. Oh.
(12:00):
We get there finally, and I'm you know, I'm kind
of white knuckle in it because I'm not really used
to driving in rain or honestly, the dark or any
of that. Ship. Uh So we get there and we
it's too late to check into the hotel.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
Wait, how can it be too late to check in?
Speaker 2 (12:17):
They have a cutoff time of seven pm?
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Guys, everyone's going to be moving. Everyone's going to be
moving there soon. So where's the idiots? Okay, just to
be fucking.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Clear, life going on.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Everyone's moving there.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
So just sleeping in the car.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Well, I didn't they.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Hear about the one flight a day?
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Can't they?
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Like, you know, I've had like airbnbs or things like
that where they you know, check in and they leave
you the key or something like I'm paying for the room.
I got to be able to get in. Sorry that
Floyd isn't gonna let me in or check me in.
I get that, but come on, like that can't be
a thing like car.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Like car, shit happens, like accidents happen where you getting where?
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Yeah? Right, well, so if you're gonna be later than
seven pm, you need to call ahead of time. Floyd
coming back. And then they have the smart locks on
the door and the seven Yes, yes, well I guess
they have the smart locks so they don't have to
be there, so they can just tell you the code
and you go to the room yourself.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Well, luckily there's places that are probably openly to get
a bite to eat.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Right, Oh, well there actually are.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Oh really that's studying.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Well, I mean there's Starbucks, McDonald's, Dairy Queen, there's a
pizza joint, there's the Fish and Chip's place.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
The New York City.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Well, no again New York City.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
What about a curry shot?
Speaker 2 (13:41):
I didn't see curry. I did see ty food. I
did see but no, there was plenty to eat, but
this place fucking no checking in after seven. So so
we get the code. We finally get to our room
and it is fucking ice box. No. Yeah, like you
you would think that they would the heater on knowing
(14:01):
people are coming or checking in. No, none of that
has happened.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
I just pulled the dead body out in the yard.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
What temperature are we thinking? Oh, like you didn't look
at the thermostat.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
It was a dial. It doesn't actually taste right, yeah,
and it jumps. It's every like twenty, so you could
put it on fifty or the dash in between fifty
and seventy, or you coulut it on seventy, like this
is an old school, so it's off. So it's it's
below fifty in there, like ivy room. Oh it's cold.
(14:34):
It's cold. We're leaving our jackets and our beanies and
like everything on right outside.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
What does it feel like?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Honestly outside, it felt like how it felt in summer
outside in Oregon. You know what I mean. It's cold,
it's windy. Yeah, I think the only difference, and it
actually felt less cold. But just because we were prepared
with gear. The first time, I brought like San Diego
fucking clothes because I'm like, oh at summertime. This time
we actually brought thermals and jackets and beanies and gloves
(15:05):
and shit like that. So we finally get the room
heat it all the way up okay, crisis averted. Turns
out my husband the one complaining about the cold more
than anybody else. Didn't see it come and he even
he's like, he's like, how are you not complaining right now?
Like I don't know. I put my jacket on, I
don't know. So yeah, So we have an entire day.
(15:27):
The first entire day is all aquarium, sea animal ship.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
The first day, the first day, Yeah, wouldn't you want
the first day to be about like TVs TCV. Wouldn't
you want to go look at places because you're excited,
you want to go to houses you want to and
then and then the next day we'll do the weird
aquarium things.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
Didn't you go to the aquarium before?
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Whatever going on? Here's the thing, you guys. When we
went during the summer, they didn't offer the octopus experiences,
and this time they did. It's where you pay an
extra sixty dollars a person to get up close and
personal with an octopus. You hold it so it's you're
in a group.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
Why would you want to do that?
Speaker 2 (16:14):
And like the octopus puts its like bottom up to
the surface and like you touch the tentacles and it
wraps its tentacles like around. You charge you for that,
and they only let like how many of us six
people total in the group, and they only do it
twice a week and one of the days was Saturday.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
So that's why you had to do it first.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Yes, So that octopus experience basically set the schedule for
the entire ties.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
This is so wild.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Ye went to the Sea Lion Caves, had a bit
of a claustrophobia issue, almost didn't go down, kind of
like had a weirdo like panic moment. Seriously, like I'm
getting worse as I'm getting older with like you.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Forced your husband to go to this fucking cave and.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
He almost had to do it himself because I was
so getting weird. I wouldn't go down to Saturday.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
There was football on Saturday, and this poor bastard is
looking at aquarium.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
Well that means Sunday all day they're going to be
looking at houses.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Yeah, well you got that right. The way you got
that right. The only reason he didn't divorce me because
I set the schedule for everything and gave two ships
about football was that the Niners were playing on Monday
night and that's his team. So like the really lucked
out for me, because yeah, I don't know how that
would have gone if the Niners were playing during that
(17:35):
U But Sunday we went and looked at houses all day.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
Weather this is all that really matters. So are you there?
Speaker 2 (17:42):
So Saturday was on and off raining, okay, Like I
was in a sweatshirt with a thermal underneath and jeans
and my ugs, and I was fine. I mean, granted,
I'm not hanging out outside, you know.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
And then Sunday, but the weather like that kind of
either didn't like depress you at all. Like if I
got to live here, I gotta see this most of
the time, and like you're okay with that. I get
not being coold because you're gonna be inside. Yeah that's funny, gloomy.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
So if people you know off themselves they live in Seattle.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Well it's kind of tough because you're talking to a
chick coming from San Diego. So it was kind of
almost fun like, oh, this is what win are supposed
to be like like ooh, winter vibe or a couple
of days. So that was day one, so I'm I'm not,
you know, thinking anything negative of it. Day two looking
at houses, sunny, beautiful, day all day long, so like
(18:37):
we seriously lucked out. I mean it it was gorgeous,
so you could see all the views and everything was
beautiful and just in yeah, so totally normal. So we
do all that. We had a nice dinner that night,
and then the next day, which was the day we
were checking out and leaving, the Monday, really rainy that day.
(19:00):
She's back, yeah, yeah, and everything shuts down super early
every you know, as I said, check in seven o'clock.
So there were lots of puzzles, games of Jenga, games
of Clue playing in our hotel room. Because I mean that's.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Like, yeah, I like I like playing games too, but
you know.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
On vacation you probably do something a little different.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
This is a vacation.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
This is this was the work in the hotel playing Jenga. Yeah,
uh no, I mean maybe I know the Western wave
is coming and everyone's going to be doing this in
a few years, playing Jenga. So you know, I'm you know, clearly,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Yeah, well, you're also not a shut in, so you
know this is a shut in stream.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Yeah, it's a great point. I don't know what's completely
opposite of anything, you know, I would want to do
so after.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
This trip, Yes, what is your now prevailing thought?
Speaker 1 (19:54):
We know, no matter what, it could have been below
zero and out of spite you're moving. Literally, we're telling
you this is the one of the weirder.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Fact that I wasn't cold at all. The boo that
pussy he was cold.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Give me a break, I mean give me, I mean,
give me answer for everything, no matter what you're going.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
But the thought process has it changed one way or
the other. No, Western wave still happened.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Western wave is still happening. Global warming, everything's going to
be getting a little warmer.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
You know, you're relying global warming.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
I mean, think about fucking crazy that
