Today’s quote: “Therapy should have open houses like elementary school so my therapist can meet everyone I talk about” - @steadfastcounseling
Inspired by Annie Downs, “That Sounds Fun”, Amy & Kat talk about making a list of things that sound fun to you during the stressful holiday season (rather than just focusing on the things that sound like a drag on your to do list). Ideas include:
- Grabbing your favorite coffee drink
- Baking chocolate chip cookies
- Hiking in the woods
- Reading a good book
- Singing carpool karaoke
- Have a game night
- Curling up by a fire
- Learning something new
What sounds fun to you?? Make a list!
Amy & Kat have fun playing The Toast’s “When You Know The Words To The Song” Game
Other topics discussed:
- Apple TV’s “Lessons in Chemistry” (spoiler alert!) and other shows that remind us of the double standards women used to face
- Do you feel stressed when trying to verify you're not a robot??
- Amy’s picture frame TV doesn’t actually have a frame…
- PTL = Praise the Lord
Bonus quotes:
- “The future is going to be crazy”
- “Today I completed a chore that I’ve been putting off for 6 months. It took 15 minutes. I will learn nothing from this”
- “I love the concept of being somebody’s peace, but unfortunately I’m insane”

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Happy Tuesday. Welcome to the Fifth Thing. I'm Amy and
I'm Kat and today's quote is coming to us from
Cat because you posted about this in your Instagram stories
the other day and I looled.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
I got a lot of responses from this, and I
feel like people thought that I said it and I didn't.
I just reposted this from somebody else. It's from Steadfast Counseling,
and it's a quote and it says therapy should have
open houses like elementary school, so my therapist can mean everyone.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
I talk about. And I firsonally as a therapist, would
love to have one of those.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
So tell me why, just because do you do? You
you have to make.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Up what they look like, how they talk like, and
you can get a good idea, but also you're getting
that person's perspective of certain things.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
So you know how.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
I'm telling a story about a mutual friend and they
say something, you'd be like, oh, that sounds just like them.
But if I'm exaggerating or something, you would be like,
are you sure they said that? Are you sure they
meant it that way? Because you know them? So I
would just love and sometimes I just am like, what
does your boyfriend look like, like.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
I just know, yeah, open house therapy would be going. Okay,
step right up next. How you are you? Oh? Yep,
that tracks okay. I could have guessed that.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
You must be.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Oh, that would be so fun. If I got to
guess who everybody was, that'd be great.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Have you watched The Lessons in Chemistry? Is that what
it's called on Apple Plus?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
I started watching it and I don't know if I
like it or not, but I'm watching it.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
I'm intrigued. I'm I'm like, I'm still watching this, so
I must like it. Yeah, but I'm not totally sure
how I feel. But it is interesting and just again,
it's one of those shows that shows you the double
standards of men versus women. In a certain era. We
still have to deal with stuff, but not to.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
That extreme like it's bad.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Yeah, like a woman being pregnant and getting fired from
her job potentially. I won't give certain parts away, but
just think that if you were working at a place
as a woman and you got sorry, you got pregnant
out of wedlock, you as a woman could be at
risk for losing your job. But the man who got
you pregnant or was with you, y'all together, got pregnant.
(02:18):
It nobody's fault, but both of you wouldn't get fired.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Because he's not pregnant.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Right.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Yeah, that was like breathing slowly through that. Some of
those scenes.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
It's like I've been rewatching mad Men and some of
those scenes too. I'm just like, like, how the women
the secretaries were treated?
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Is that old?
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Like, yeah, an older times in the fifties and sixties.
The season progresses and the decade changes, but Madman's so good.
Slowly working my way through that. It was one of
the top shows of the twenty first century, or the
top show according to Huffington Posts. So I was like, uh,
I want to revisit this because I used to love
it back in the day.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
I've never seen an episode.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Ooh you and Big p should see. You have to
give it a minute though, you can't just like give
it give it first season.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Okay, this is I've been thinking about this.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
You know how TV shows used to be probably like that,
where they're their season has like twenty episodes, they have
like five six seven seasons. They're like longer shows how
we used to watch TV, you know, Is that how
that is?
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Yeah, there's longer I think it originally came out maybe
in two thousand and seven.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Okay, so now shows, I feel like a season is
ten episodes, and they shove a lot more stuff in
those ten episodes. So I've been noticing that I get
so bored in TV shows, and I think it's because
when I'm watching shows, probably like mad Men, it's spread
out and it's longer and not everything is like bam bam, bam,
bam bam. There's something exciting having every five seconds. The
(03:42):
way TV is made now has like ruined how I
can enjoy TV.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I feel like there's a lot of things. There's so
much instant gratification, like you can get so much at
your fingertips at any given moment.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
That, yeah, so then I'm bored in this show. But
that's probably a really good show. I don't know what
to do about it.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
I feel like people in the future are going to
look back and be like, what these people we've watch
shows in like thirty seconds. It is amazing. They like
put their little headset on and all of a sudden
they have like an interactive show.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
They're like a character in the Yeah, I just I.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Just did my scene on Madmen, and it was amazing,
so fun, and yeah, the future is going to be crazy,
but quote by.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
It, the future is going to be crazy because it's
only advancing faster and faster and faster.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Investor.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yeah, they were about the future like twenty years ago
that they said the future is going to be crazy.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Now we're.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Speaking of technology and having a when you're like when
you're going to a new website or signing up for
something new, they have to verify that you're not a robot.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Yes, So they put like six.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Squares and they say, select each square that has a
bridge in it, And I overanalyze each square because I'm like, shoot,
there's like an eighth of an inch of the bridge
from the other is in that square. Do I click
on it or not?
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Because I don't want to get it wrong right.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Because I'm not a robot. But I overanalyze those square
like they stress me out.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Or if it's like click all the squares with a
motorcycle and it's like, well, is that a bike or
a motorcycle or does a car count as a motorcycle
or is a motorcycle a car?
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Well no, that would not be some of those okay
not be if I would know if I was doing
that trying to prove I'm not a robot.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
I know a car.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Some of the pictures are blurry, and I'm like, I
don't know if they're trying to trick me. And that's
a bicycle and not a motorcycle. But if it is
a motorcycle, I don't click it. Then I'm gonna have
to do this again. Yeah, or you hire You could
just refresh and get a new picture if you don't
like a picture.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Yeah. Technology, it's getting crazy, technology, very crazy. It's crazy.
I got that Frame TV as part of an Amazon
Prime Day sale, but I did not know that the
frame TV doesn't come with the pretty frame that you
put around it. It looks flat like it's a picture
(06:06):
but what you get is just a black border like
a normal TV. But it's very flat hanging on.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
The wall, so it looks like okay, so it.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Looks like a picture frame on the wall. But you
know when you see other people post about it and
all the commercials they have, you know, like a wooden
frame or a white frame or gold or something that
pops and it doesn't just look like a raw TV edge,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I thought they came I thought so too.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
So now I've just been another two hundred dollars to
have the pretty frame and they're sold out everywhere.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Well, okay, hold on, where are you trying to buy
this frame? Is it like a sold by the TV company?
Speaker 1 (06:45):
I was looking at the ones that were by Samsung
for the frame TV. Those are the ones that sold out.
So then I went to Etsy. But then my friend
who does like carpenter work, he said, oh, I can
make that for you for seventy five bucks and he's
literally just doing this wood thing and staining at the
exact color I want. I'm like, oh, so note to self.
Have a carpenter friend or somebody that can do would
(07:07):
work and they probably can do it for like one
hundred bucks or less.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
So I was going to tell you when those got
really big. I think last year there were so many
tiktoks on how to make your own frame for the TV.
And you can buy certain pieces of wood from like
hobby Lobby or low something easy and then they show
you how to cut it and like glue or staple
it together and paint it.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
It looks pretty simple, diy.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Yeah, So that's if before you buy a two hundred
dollars frame for your TV.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Just google if you might be able.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
To make this and if it would be worth the
effort for anybody who also is buying a TV.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Oh, I love that. I had no idea, but I mean,
I'm glad my friend can do it, and I know
I'll just trust him and oh do it right. But
that is resourceful and some people love a good DIY project.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
And then you could say, see that frame, I made it?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Yeah PTL.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
What is PTL?
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Price the low? Did you know that?
Speaker 2 (08:00):
I guess now, But I don't get how that fit
with what I said.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Pro tip like PTL, like praise the Lord for dy
or ways to get it done. You know, I got
it all around.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Budget pro tip love PTL.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Someone did text me PTL and I had to ask
one of my younger friends what it meant, and she
told me PTL and I thought, oh, okay, so I've
been saying it ever since?
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Was that like last week? Yeah you go, but you
don't know what that means?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Yeah, loser.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
PTL pro tip love.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Speaking of funny things, I saw this meme that said,
today I completed a chore that I'm putting off for
six months. It took fifteen minutes. I will learn nothing
from this. It's so true, like I have so many
things that are on my list that literally are not
going to record fire much of my time, maybe even
similar to someone making their own TV frame, and it's like,
(09:05):
it's really not gonna take that long to google and
figure it out. I have to share this other funny
thing that was right under that one that I saw
because I ended up saving it. It says, I love the
concept of being somebody's peace, but unfortunately I'm insane.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
It's how you feel.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
I mean, sometimes I do feel a little bit crazy.
I would like to be someone's peace, but then other
times I know I'm I'm not the piece. But that's okay.
I think that, but you relationships can swip swap.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
You would be peace for a person though, like we
all enjoy different kinds of people, so your insanity to
one person could be somebody else's peace. You know, one
man's trash is another person's treasure. That's a good way
to put it.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
I was scrolling through Annie Downs's book that sounds fun
and I've had this for a while, but I had
it sitting in a dwar in the other day. I
actually pulled it out of the door, and then it
was on top of my desk, so I started flipping
through it again and on the inside a few pages,
and then on at the back of the book the
last few pages. She just has in really teeny tiny print,
(10:12):
tons of things that she's done that are fun for her.
Well it's hurt in her family or friends or maybe
even contributors, but she had people submit it, so it's
stuff that's from her and from them, and it could
just serve as an easy way to also see things
that you're thankful for, but also help you come up
with the list of stuff that will be fun, because
I think that this time of year can be a
(10:36):
tad bit stressful because we make it that way, or
maybe your family situation just is. And if that's the case,
whatever you're going through with that, I feel for you.
But then other times it just we bring it upon
ourselves with the shopping and the crazyiness or putting things off.
Maybe we don't put off Christmas shopping that we should
have been doing the last you know, a few weeks
(10:58):
to get ready and we're scrambling and again and every
year comes around. We've learned nothing from this, but It
made me think of maybe this time of year, make
a list of things that sound fun to you and
that would be fun or that you have gratitude for,
and it may help shift some of that perspective.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Versus just looking at all the things that sound like
a drag and then you have to do Will you
read some of those things in there?
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Friends, Food, dancing in pajamas, crafting pretty things, caramel machiato,
and coloring something simple, baking chocolate chip cookies, which is
such a simple thing. Running through the woods, which I've
went hiking Percitied Warner the other day. I don't always
do that particular hike. And if you ever visit Nashville
(11:45):
you live here, it is a lot of hills. Your
legs or your butt will be sore, but there's something
really cool about it. And you can run those woods.
The other Radner woods. You're not allowed to run them.
Oh really, you can only walk. There's no running. There's
no bikes. There's no dogs on the trail.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Can you bike, Percy Warner, Yeah, there's no dogs. I
feel like we've taken you.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Can, but we have to stay on the road. Oh,
you can't get up into the trail, So going on
a girl's trip, a good book, singing car karaoke, which
I was had a long trip with a friend the
other day and we did something cool where it swapped
back and forth, like I pick a song and you
pick a song. I pick a song, you pick a song.
And you were talking about that one game you can do. Yeah,
(12:28):
do you want me to tell you about it? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:30):
So I got this from The Toast, which is a
podcast that is two sisters that talk about pop culture.
And We're gonna play one round of this. Okay, Okay,
I have to give you one syllable.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
You could do word or syllable.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
I'm gonna give you one syllable of a song and
you have to guess what the song is. But there's
a jingle that goes with it, okay, and it goes
when you know those words to this song, sing o long,
sing no long, and you have to do the jingle
every time you repeat the next syllable. So if you
(13:06):
don't know it, what I'm gonna tell you. If you
don't know it, just say I need a little bit more,
and then I'll give you another one. Okay, Okay, So
imagine I just did the jingle hit, let's do the jingle. Yeah,
I'll do the whole thing because we do right normally.
I mean, my friends don't enjoy the jingle, so I
do it by myself. But if you want to sing
it with me, I would love that.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Ready.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Okay, when you know this song, sing along, sing a long,
hit me baby fun sometimes, like that's an easy one.
And you know everybody's always thinking about Bertey spears. Now
you do one, so you might have to think of
a song.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Okay, when you know the words to this song, sing along,
sing along.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Bye, you just sing it bye. You're saying my it
was hit, but I like sang and I was like,
hit bye. Is that how it sounds on the song?
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Bye yeah bye?
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Bye bye? The little bye Bye.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
I thought this would be easy because we did Brittany,
Oh bye bye bye bye yeah bye bye in see Okay, I.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Thought you would pick a country song.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
I don't know, I know, but Brittany made me think
of justin you think of insane? Did you think of
bye bye bye bye bye? I mean fun? See that
sounds fun? Yeah, so play that like if you've got
road trips, do that in the cart, do it around
the dinner table, you know whatever.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Just walk around your house, have.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
A game night like make the Holidays fun. Whatever that
looks like for you. Some of those examples, they were
so simple. Another one here, a no smartphone family game weekend,
curling up by a fire, learning something new, fun, fun fun.
I hope y'all are having the day that you need
to have.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Bye bye

a bicycle and not a motorcycle. But if it is
a motorcycle, I don't click it. Then I'm gonna have
to do this again. Yeah, or you hire You could
just refresh and get a new picture if you don't
like a picture.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Yeah. Technology, it's getting crazy, technology, very crazy. It's crazy.
I got that Frame TV as part of an Amazon
Prime Day sale, but I did not know that the
frame TV doesn't come with the pretty frame that you
put around it. It looks flat like it's a picture
(06:06):
but what you get is just a black border like
a normal TV. But it's very flat hanging on.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
The wall, so it looks like okay, so it.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Looks like a picture frame on the wall. But you
know when you see other people post about it and
all the commercials they have, you know, like a wooden
frame or a white frame or gold or something that
pops and it doesn't just look like a raw TV edge,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I thought they came I thought so too.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
So now I've just been another two hundred dollars to
have the pretty frame and they're sold out everywhere.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Well, okay, hold on, where are you trying to buy
this frame? Is it like a sold by the TV company?
Speaker 1 (06:45):
I was looking at the ones that were by Samsung
for the frame TV. Those are the ones that sold out.
So then I went to Etsy. But then my friend
who does like carpenter work, he said, oh, I can
make that for you for seventy five bucks and he's
literally just doing this wood thing and staining at the
exact color I want. I'm like, oh, so note to self.
Have a carpenter friend or somebody that can do would
(07:07):
work and they probably can do it for like one
hundred bucks or less.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
So I was going to tell you when those got
really big. I think last year there were so many
tiktoks on how to make your own frame for the TV.
And you can buy certain pieces of wood from like
hobby Lobby or low something easy and then they show
you how to cut it and like glue or staple
it together and paint it.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
It looks pretty simple, diy.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Yeah, So that's if before you buy a two hundred
dollars frame for your TV.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Just google if you might be able.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
To make this and if it would be worth the
effort for anybody who also is buying a TV.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Oh, I love that. I had no idea, but I mean,
I'm glad my friend can do it, and I know
I'll just trust him and oh do it right. But
that is resourceful and some people love a good DIY project.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
And then you could say, see that frame, I made it?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Yeah PTL.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
What is PTL?
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Price the low? Did you know that?
Speaker 2 (08:00):
I guess now, But I don't get how that fit
with what I said.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Pro tip like PTL, like praise the Lord for dy
or ways to get it done. You know, I got
it all around.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Budget pro tip love PTL.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Someone did text me PTL and I had to ask
one of my younger friends what it meant, and she
told me PTL and I thought, oh, okay, so I've
been saying it ever since?
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Was that like last week? Yeah you go, but you
don't know what that means?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Yeah, loser.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
PTL pro tip love.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Speaking of funny things, I saw this meme that said,
today I completed a chore that I'm putting off for
six months. It took fifteen minutes. I will learn nothing
from this. It's so true, like I have so many
things that are on my list that literally are not
going to record fire much of my time, maybe even
similar to someone making their own TV frame, and it's like,
(09:05):
it's really not gonna take that long to google and
figure it out. I have to share this other funny
thing that was right under that one that I saw
because I ended up saving it. It says, I love the
concept of being somebody's peace, but unfortunately I'm insane.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
It's how you feel.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
I mean, sometimes I do feel a little bit crazy.
I would like to be someone's peace, but then other
times I know I'm I'm not the piece. But that's okay.
I think that, but you relationships can swip swap.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
You would be peace for a person though, like we
all enjoy different kinds of people, so your insanity to
one person could be somebody else's peace. You know, one
man's trash is another person's treasure. That's a good way
to put it.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
I was scrolling through Annie Downs's book that sounds fun
and I've had this for a while, but I had
it sitting in a dwar in the other day. I
actually pulled it out of the door, and then it
was on top of my desk, so I started flipping
through it again and on the inside a few pages,
and then on at the back of the book the
last few pages. She just has in really teeny tiny print,
(10:12):
tons of things that she's done that are fun for her.
Well it's hurt in her family or friends or maybe
even contributors, but she had people submit it, so it's
stuff that's from her and from them, and it could
just serve as an easy way to also see things
that you're thankful for, but also help you come up
with the list of stuff that will be fun, because
I think that this time of year can be a
(10:36):
tad bit stressful because we make it that way, or
maybe your family situation just is. And if that's the case,
whatever you're going through with that, I feel for you.
But then other times it just we bring it upon
ourselves with the shopping and the crazyiness or putting things off.
Maybe we don't put off Christmas shopping that we should
have been doing the last you know, a few weeks
(10:58):
to get ready and we're scrambling and again and every
year comes around. We've learned nothing from this, but It
made me think of maybe this time of year, make
a list of things that sound fun to you and
that would be fun or that you have gratitude for,
and it may help shift some of that perspective.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Versus just looking at all the things that sound like
a drag and then you have to do Will you
read some of those things in there?
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Friends, Food, dancing in pajamas, crafting pretty things, caramel machiato,
and coloring something simple, baking chocolate chip cookies, which is
such a simple thing. Running through the woods, which I've
went hiking Percitied Warner the other day. I don't always
do that particular hike. And if you ever visit Nashville
(11:45):
you live here, it is a lot of hills. Your
legs or your butt will be sore, but there's something
really cool about it. And you can run those woods.
The other Radner woods. You're not allowed to run them.
Oh really, you can only walk. There's no running. There's
no bikes. There's no dogs on the trail.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Can you bike, Percy Warner, Yeah, there's no dogs. I
feel like we've taken you.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Can, but we have to stay on the road. Oh,
you can't get up into the trail, So going on
a girl's trip, a good book, singing car karaoke, which
I was had a long trip with a friend the
other day and we did something cool where it swapped
back and forth, like I pick a song and you
pick a song. I pick a song, you pick a song.
And you were talking about that one game you can do. Yeah,
(12:28):
do you want me to tell you about it? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:30):
So I got this from The Toast, which is a
podcast that is two sisters that talk about pop culture.
And We're gonna play one round of this. Okay, Okay,
I have to give you one syllable.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
You could do word or syllable.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
I'm gonna give you one syllable of a song and
you have to guess what the song is. But there's
a jingle that goes with it, okay, and it goes
when you know those words to this song, sing o long,
sing no long, and you have to do the jingle
every time you repeat the next syllable. So if you
(13:06):
don't know it, what I'm gonna tell you. If you
don't know it, just say I need a little bit more,
and then I'll give you another one. Okay, Okay, So
imagine I just did the jingle hit, let's do the jingle. Yeah,
I'll do the whole thing because we do right normally.
I mean, my friends don't enjoy the jingle, so I
do it by myself. But if you want to sing
it with me, I would love that.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Ready.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Okay, when you know this song, sing along, sing a long,
hit me baby fun sometimes, like that's an easy one.
And you know everybody's always thinking about Bertey spears. Now
you do one, so you might have to think of
a song.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Okay, when you know the words to this song, sing along,
sing along.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Bye, you just sing it bye. You're saying my it
was hit, but I like sang and I was like,
hit bye. Is that how it sounds on the song?
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Bye yeah bye?
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Bye bye? The little bye Bye.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
I thought this would be easy because we did Brittany,
Oh bye bye bye bye yeah bye bye in see Okay, I.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Thought you would pick a country song.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
I don't know, I know, but Brittany made me think
of justin you think of insane? Did you think of
bye bye bye bye bye? I mean fun? See that
sounds fun? Yeah, so play that like if you've got
road trips, do that in the cart, do it around
the dinner table, you know whatever.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Just walk around your house, have.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
A game night like make the Holidays fun. Whatever that
looks like for you. Some of those examples, they were
so simple. Another one here, a no smartphone family game weekend,
curling up by a fire, learning something new, fun, fun fun.
I hope y'all are having the day that you need
to have.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Bye bye
Speaker 2 (15:09):
