Amy and Kat kick things off with a voicemail from Julia in Wisconsin. She shares that “fire” is her word for 2026, from firing what’s not serving her to doing “fire girl walks” and leaning into her style with some “fire fits.” This leads to Amy sharing her exhaustion around “in and out” lists on social media, especially when it comes to certain fashion things and home decor. The overconsumption is real right now!! Ashley, a listener from Arizona, sent an email with encouragement for Amy’s possible cowgirl era. She tells Amy what that lifestyle really looks like and why it aligns with Amy’s word of the year, which is less. Speaking of that lifestyle, Amy talks about her uncle managing George Strait’s ranch for many years and how her brother wrote a song about his retirement.
Here’s the fashion/styling account Kat was talking about from TikTok: @5aldwinanna

Things with Amy and Kat. Happy Thursday, Welcome to Couch Talks,
our Q and a episode to the Feeling Things podcast.
I'm Amy and I'm Kat.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
And quick disclaimer before we get started that although we
are answering emails and giving some feedback, this podcast doesn't
serve as a replacement for therapy or mental health services.
We do help it.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Help, we sure do. We're starting off with a voicemail
from Julia. We've actually had a few voicemails and then
an email to read, so I don't really know for
sure for sure that you needed the disclaimer, because who
knows what kind of advice I'll be throwing around, But
you know, just cover our bases.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
You never know where it's going to go.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
You never know. So here is a little word from Julia.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Hi, this is Julia from Wisconsin. I am just calling
because I giggled when Amy said all she wants for
Christmas is voice memos, and I voice memo all my friends,
so I just saw it was only fitting to send
you guys a little note. I wanted to say that
I really enjoyed the episode am the chaos that was
the firing things episode and the sombreros. All the things
(01:33):
had me giggling. But I chose fire as my word
for twenty twenty six because I thought about how I
need to fire things in my life that aren't serving me.
But also like, instead of hot girl walks, I'm calling
them fire girl walks. And I really want to focus
on my look this year and my style, so I'm
(01:55):
going to put together some fire fits like the kids say.
But overall, thanks for being you, and I hope that
we can voice my mole back and forth some more so,
I hope you guys have the day you need to have.
Speak here that My husband also got me merch for Christmas,
so I got the T shirt.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
I'm very excited about it.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
But have a great day, and well, I'll talk to
you guys on Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Duh.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Yeah, this is as voice membering you back joya, Hi, Hi,
thank you for that cute message. And I love her
word of the air fire.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
I know, I want to change my word now.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
She's using it in a lot of different ways, which
reminds me of how I used water, you know, because
I wanted to drink it, but I also wanted to flow.
And I guess less is working in a couple of
different ways, like less things, less talking, more listening. So yeah,
the fire is working for like fire outfits, but also
she's going to fire things around her house and then
(02:52):
have fire girl walk.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Yeah, the fire girl walk got me. Also the fire.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Fits fire fits.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
I would like to work on my style too, but
I I just it's overwhelming.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Oh it is. And let's talk about that for a second.
Because towards the end of the year, it was a
lot of you know, all the lists of people online,
which I find helpful, so I'm thankful. It's this weird
place of being thankful for social media and all the
lists of like these are all the items I would
want if I didn't already have them, Oh yeah, or
like you know, picky girl Christmas list stuff, stuff that's helpful,
(03:26):
like oh yeah, I might want to get that from
my picky friend or maybe even I need that helpful.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Right.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Well, now we're rounding out, and now it's like, here's
everything you need for twenty twenty six, and I'm like,
more stuff. It's a lot, and I'm with you. It
gets overwhelming and I don't just want more stuff that
I'm eventually gonna have to fire get rid of.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Do you mean it's overwhelming with more than just clothes?
You mean like stuff in general? People are selling like lists.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I think the lists I saw. Brooklyn Decker actually did
a little PSA on her stories. Do you know her?
She is married to Andy Roddick and she's a I
don't know her well that do you know her?
Speaker 1 (04:07):
A model?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Yes, okay, model actress. She's in Grace and Frankie.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
I've never seen that. Oh it's funny too, Yeah, you
would like it.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
It's really cute.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
So she put up a story and she was like, hey,
she's like I got a bone to pick, and she's
real cute about it. But she's speaking truth like it
spoke to me where I was like, okay, and also
mental note for myself, like I don't want to contribute
in this area, not that I have lists that I
make that are make something in or out, Like I
(04:39):
don't do in or out lists. But she's like, now
that it's twenty twenty six, I keep seeing all these
lists that are like this is out and this is in,
especially when it comes to even home design, which she's
very passionate about, Like she's very gifted with design and decor,
and that's something she's also picked up and started doing,
like as part of her resume. So she's like, it
(05:02):
just seems caddy and cruel that we're online telling someone,
especially when it comes to their home, their sanctuary, something
that they are investing time into to make it their space,
that suddenly now they're going to hop online and we're
going to tell them it's out. She's like, let's just stop.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Well, okay, I actually had this. Thank you for bringing
this up, because more than the clothes, I can be like, Okay,
this is overwhelming. I want to work on my style,
but like I'm gonna wear this jean jacket again. I
can get over that easier. My house. I have been
paralyzed because of exactly what you're talking about. I see
all these videos that say stuff like that, like the
(05:40):
in and out, but also are like, this is how
I can tell your house is from twenty fifteen, and
it like lists all the things that are in there,
or this color floor is going to date your house,
or this or that, And then I'm like, well, I
don't want to ever decorate my house because usually the
things that I'm drawn to usually a lot of times
the things that I'm drawn to them because I keep
(06:01):
seeing them everywhere and I'm like, oh, I like that,
So does that mean I'm gonna like that? And in
five years I'm gonna have to redo my house again
because I don't have that kind of money or time
or energy, And so then I just end up doing nothing.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Yeah, I think when it comes to our homes, it's
really important to not go to specific on what's in
or out, in or out. It's what esthetically do you like?
And that's what I'm trying to build at my house
is just key pieces that I like that will be
timeless and it is what it is, Like I could
see myself walking into my kitchen in five years and
(06:34):
still liking it. Sometimes you design a kitchen and there
that may not be the case if you go too
specific with a certain stone or color or I don't know,
you sent me that TikTok video of the Patina and
that was a well, she's an interior designer and art director.
That was giving her two since I believe that was
(06:56):
her credentials.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
But I liked how she phrased that so she said,
and I felt really cool because I was like, oh,
I know what that word because we had just talked
about it. But she said, if you are struggling to
kind of finish your room, if your rooms just end
up not looking finished or there's something missing, she said,
the one thing that every every room needs in a
house is something betina. And I was like, something that
(07:21):
is bronze that has wear on it every room.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
That's what when we talked about on the podcast. That's
how we learned it. But it has I guess a
broader meaning of just something old old.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Yeah, something old that is like either well loved or
just like an old. It could be an old vase.
And I was like, that's very interesting. So when we're
over here thinking like I need to get this new
and this new and this new, sometimes when it's too
much new, then it looks off. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
She said she does a lot of her shopping on
Marketplace and I would imagine probably antique stores and vinted shops,
because she said even just an old stool in the
corner with some books on top could be the patina
you neique for a room. And so I was rearranging
stuff this last week, and then after you sent me
that video, I was like, okay, I need to make
sure I've got my patina in each room. And you
(08:11):
know what I did with my grandpa's dear head, put
an attic nos in my dining room. It's yes, it's
my patina for my dining room, all along with my
mom my mom's hutch, like her dining hutch.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
How did I miss this? It's hanging up? Yes, yeah,
huh it is.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
I mean it is a little tricky, and you know
have wallpaper in my dining room and it took some
wallpaper off the wall, so a little but he covers
it up just fine.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Mind him.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
I gave him a name too, Theodore, because that was
my grandpa's name.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Have a really cute name.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
It's my grandpa's name. And he apparently shot the buck,
and I did question hanging a buck in the dining room.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Like a dead animal in the where you eat.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
But I don't really eat a lot of venison eat
a ton, and I don't eat in there a ton exactly.
And then also he's cute and he's like watching over us.
And then I have those deer that come to my
yard and I have that window in my dining room.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Deer are gonna be like that could be up.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Yeah, I'm hoping they're more so like, oh, look a friend,
let's get closer to the Window's dead. No, hopefully they
won't recognize that because I won't hurt them. I'm not
a hunter, right, Okay, so I'll be like, come on,
little guys, just come hang out with your buddy Theodore.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Here's a question. M another fear I have. I just
wall paper the room in my house. I'm so afraid
to hang anything up.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Yeah, I'll learn that the hard way. I kind of
thought that, what are those things, the three command strips?
I thought you could use those.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
You can't.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
I don't know. Well, maybe I just didn't take it
off correctly.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
But if you command hooks, I've committed.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
You know.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
I hung up all those cowboy hats patina because those
are vintage cow You have a lot.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Of patina in your house. That's why your house is
so cute because it's just like Patina, Potina, Patina.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
I think I'm starting to understand that girl's point from TikTok.
The more Patina you have, the less likely you're gonna
walk into your house and be like, oh, my home's dated. Yeah,
because if it's Patina, of course it's dated. Yea. Yeah,
they like, I'm not following a trend.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Okay, I need to go back to the wallpaper. Did
you rip off wallpaper? What do you do? Do you just
have to cover it because you can't fix it?
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Yeah, the Theodore's stand there forever. Uh, and then the
cowboy hats they're gonna stay there. So if if someone
wanted to, like I moved, and they wanted to hang something,
they're gonna have to hang stuff to cover the wallpaper,
or they're gonna have to read wallpaper, which is fine.
But also let me say this. The mirror in my
(10:52):
dining room is from Wayfair and my light is new
from Anthropology in there. My light in the room we're
in right now is from Wayfair. But in my dining room,
like you can mix.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
And then I ordered a little side table from Amazon
that looks a little funky, but it's from Amazon, so
you can mix the legal even cheaper or new whatever
you want to call it, more modern with the old.
And I think it still is giving a vibe in
there now that like I wasn't wanting to hang out
my dining room, and now that I've spent some time
(11:24):
on it, I've spent some time patiniating it. Yeah, like
now I want to hang out my dining room. So
I don't even know how we got here because I
didn't plan on talking about it was more of the
you know, at the end of the year, it made
sense some of the over consumption because we're doing some
shopping for the holidays, but like rolling into the new year,
I had to like pause. I don't know, I may
have to pause certain accounts because.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Like, what do you mean account like social media accounts.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
That I like to follow, but that it's just too
much consumption, Like I like recommendations here and there, but
every day I don't need what's in, what's in, what's out.
While I it's tricky because while I am grateful for
the information, I also then feel attacked, and then getting
(12:08):
ready is stressful when I'm like, why don't I just
wear what I want right which, by the way, that
our director interior design, I know we're talking about home stuff,
but she said it also could be when you're you're
getting dressed as well, like throwing on a Patina piece,
like is there a vintage piece of jewelry or a
belt or something older like a bag.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
But how old? Because I have some clothes that my
friends try to get me to get rid of because
they think.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
It means stuff. I don't think it means stuff. I
can that's my patina fifteen years ago.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
I mean like five years ago. There's something. No that potato.
It's not Patina. I think it's like like a peplam
top that's going back. Pep tots are coming back.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Sorry, explain to me what peplam is that like the
big collar.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
No, pepulms work really cool. I feel like when I
was in college. Okay, I'm gonna be right after. It's
it's where they're like go out. I don't know how
to explain it. Like they're kind of tight around the
like right under your boobs, and then they go out.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
What you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
I think they're coming back a little bit, but I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
But that's where we get stuck too if they're coming
back a little bit, don't we want to build our
wardrobes with stuff that like doesn't go in or out?
Speaker 1 (13:19):
But what if I like it? I mean, peplum tops
aren't my thing. That's just what came to my mind.
I have this one sweater that looks like a rug
that sina. Honestly, wait, then where'd you get it? That
t apology? I remember when I bought it, and I
spent a lot of money on it, but I really
loved it, and at that time I probably shouldn't have
(13:40):
bought it, but I loved it so much, and I
probably have only worn it twice because it's a it's
a piece you've never seen it.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Because I feel like I'm gonna love it.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
It looks Patina or that like a cat got into
a ball of yarn kind of thing. It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Okay, next episode, Yeah, can you wear it next Tuesday?
Speaker 1 (14:03):
I can. Yeah, okay, but only if you promise not
to make fun of it. Because my friends were like,
when I move, They're like, you have to get rid
of this is the ugliest thing I've ever seen.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Now, so I won't make fun of it at all.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
No, But I love this.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
You're telling the person that one time I wore a
really cool sweater to work and the guys made fun
of it, and I cried, what did it look like? Well,
they put me a side by side picture next to
the dumb and Dumber Okay, the long sweater.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
I was like, I've never seen that. I'm sorry, everyone's reference.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Okay, you ruined it.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
I think if you google like Amy sweater, Bobby Bone Show,
Dumb and Dumber by side, I will come up yeallick hair.
Maybe I could show you I didn't keep that sweater.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
So see. Okay, that's why you're being so nice to me,
because you feel personally victimized.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Yeah, like I can relate to that, but I definitely
Oh here it is.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Yep. Wait, I love that's so Patina. I love it.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Yeah that I got it at a a cheap little
boutique in Austin. It wasn't Patina. But yeah, I'm passing
my computer over to Cat so that she can take
a gander at my sweater.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Wait, first of all, it does not look like the
dumb and Dumber sweater, And that probably was so in
When was this?
Speaker 2 (15:16):
That was? Probably I was on clomid. I was trying
to get pregnant, so it was maybe two thousand and nine.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Okay. I was gonna say, kind of remind me of
the Chevron era. Whenever it's wearing chevron, we remember that
I had a lot of Chevron.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
I had a lot of Chevron. I'm trying to think.
I mean this wasuposted to facebooks.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Okay, if you've wore that, This is how like I
much about fashion. I don't know if you would have
worn that sweater today, I would have been like, oh,
that's so cute.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
I think that actually would still get by today, like
it would be okay, But I just emotionally. In fact,
I'm wearing some fry boots. Those are back in. The
boots I have on are back in. You still have
no cold, but see they're going to go out again.
Like I want timeless.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Nothing's timeless. It's timeless. Name one thing that's timeless. Diamond areas.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Yes, uh, black boots with a heel, timeless, pointy tail,
black boots for a heel.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
No, that's not true. That's true because there is a
time girl was in No.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
No, not pointy pointy. I'm not talking like you know
point was in kind of pointy. Nope, I saw someone
say it. I saw. I saw an influencer tell me
this will never got a style, and I believe her.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Okay, I did. I just bought some pointy sock boot
type kitten heels. I don't know what you mean by
sock like, well, these ones are less sock but I
got some brown ones in the sock boot I saw. Okay,
there says a really cool influencer. I want to be
her so bad. She's so cool and like, I'll send
(16:50):
her to you. She's so relaxed and she's like, do
you see how I made this outfit?
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (16:57):
She talks so like cool and like monotone and like
she's effortlessly just like she wears a lot of Patina.
That's wrobably why she looks so cool?
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Does she put together a firefit?
Speaker 1 (17:07):
She puts together firefits and she I watched this video.
I don't know why about how to know when it's
ready to retire your boots? And they were sock boots,
and I was like, oh, she has sock boots, so
I probably should get some sock boots. And I've been
wanting some boots that can go under jeans, you know,
because I have like the tall ones and that's uncomfortable.
Sock boots are correct me if I'm wrong, Shannon. They're
(17:28):
like shorter boots. But you wouldn't wear them.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Do they zip or they slide on like a sock?
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Both? But I have one. I have one that slides
on like a sock, my brown ones, and you wouldn't
wear them where you could see. You would wear them
under a long skirt or jeans. You wouldn't wear them
where you could see the like, what do you call that?
The shaft?
Speaker 2 (17:46):
So it just gets really like yeah, it's the shaft.
It's like it gets really towards the yes, towards ankle.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
It's like tight, not a lot of support. But they're
really cool, sleek looking shoes. I got a pair of
brown sued ones and a pair of black leather cute
and I've worn them a lot. So this kitten heels
which came back in thank god, because I don't walk
well on the heel, but I can rock a kitten heel.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Yeah, I'm on kitten heels right now. What is this influencer?
Do you know her handle? Can I go?
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Okay? I don't even think I follow her. I think
she just shows up on my TikTok, so I'll just
have to scroll and find her and then.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
I'll save her, okay, because now we all need to know. Yeah,
if she's speaking in a soothing she's so cool manner
and it's not a bunch of like fast fashion, No,
I want to throw away like no.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
And she also taught me this trick which I utilized.
She was like, do you want to interpersonate her? But
I can't. But she was like, do you ever have
you been through the phase where you wear the white
T shirt with the black blazer And she's like, we
all did that during the summer and if you're wondering
why that doesn't translate into the fall winter because it's
too much contrast. You have the white and the blackness
(18:54):
too much. And so she was like, try throwing on
a gray crew neck. You probably have one in your closet. Yeah,
And I did. And I did it, and I was like,
this is firefit. I didn't wear because I didn't need
to wear a note fit like that anywhere, but it
looked I tried it on. I was like, this looks
so much cooler and more effortless. We're like I just
(19:15):
threw this gray T shirt on in this blazer with
my sock boot. Oh my gosh, I'm about to go
hit the town. Okay, I'll find her, and well, i'll
find her by the time this comes out, and we
can tag her in the or we can put her in.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
The in the show notes. Yeah, because people want to
know she's so, especially Julia because she's trying to focus
on her fire fits. So Julia needs to know this
TikTok person which Julia's voicemail let us down a hole,
rabbit hole. I did not plan on going on, but
it just made me think of the just feels heavy
(19:49):
right now. We're over I'm over stimulating. I'm overwhelmed by
all the inns and the outs and the needs and
the It's made me want to pause, Like I'm like pause.
Then we're shopping. I did this a couple of years ago,
and I'm back at it again, and I'm like, we
are good where you're going to find things in our closet.
(20:10):
We are capable, We're not adding. I want to be
real intentional about it because I go in and out,
I go through phases.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Then do you ever go to your closet? And you're
like I have nothing to do. Y.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Yeah, But that's where I'm like, no, I'm not going
to speak that way. But that's where I'm like, no,
I'm not going to speak that way because I feel
(20:42):
like if I energy, if I go into my closet
with that attitude, of course I'm not going to find anything.
But if I go in ready to put together a
fire fit and I believe in myself and I can
do it, and maybe I get that girl you follow
on TikTok or that you don't follow bit that pops
up on your TikTok to soothing style tips, then like
(21:03):
I'm gonna be good to go.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
And also I just want to trust my self more
like trust what do What do I want to wear?
What do I feel good in? And I do want
to challenge myself to get dressed a little more this
year because I do default to sweats. Honestly, are feeling
things sweat set. I was gonna say, we you have
(21:27):
that's a really cute set for free people.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
But I've worn it the last like four days.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
That's okay.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
I did watch it last night.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
I am okay with that, And I think you look
cute in your set, and I think that our set
is cute, like a set is cute is elevated sweats. Okay, However,
I can default to that a lot to where the
other night I was meeting my boyfriend and his son's
basketball game, and normally I would roll up there and
workout clothes or whatever, and we were doing nothing. I
(21:56):
was just gonna go to the game and then I
was gonna go buy his house and then come home.
But I decided, you know what, I'm gonna put on
jeans and boots. Wow. And I'm gonna kind of like
brush my hair and put on a like a little
button down and it's just like a denim top. It
was really easy. But it was like when he saw
me walk in, he was like, hey, yuh. He's like,
(22:18):
what are you doing?
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Where are you going later?
Speaker 2 (22:20):
And I was like nowhere. I just decided to, like,
and I did feel better, like I felt. It was
just like my whole demeanor felt a little.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
I have a thought better. What do you know any
of those like Mostly it's like famous people who like
their thing is that they wear T shirts. Like there's
a singer Chelsea Cutler. She I've only ever seen her
in a T shirt. She only wears T shirts, Like, well,
I kind of love that, And I think that, like,
what if my thing was just to wear a set sets?
(22:54):
Because I don't enjoy putting together outfits I used to
I used to love, like I feel like I used
to be way more like fashionable in the know. But
as I've gotten older, it's gotten more confusing. And I
think that I just part of me doesn't care, but
part of me feels like I should care. I think
I'm I think I'm discovering something as we speak. I
(23:15):
think I feel like I should care because I used
to care, and I used to really like that stuff.
And I remember when I was younger being like my
mom dresses like a mom, or like my mom dresses
like a cool mom. Like I remember the like distinction
of those, like when you see someone who's like they
dress like a cool mom, where like they dress like
a mom, you know, And I was like, I'm never
gonna just dress like a mom. But now I'm at
(23:36):
the age that I could be a mom, and I'm like, well,
I think I just want to dress like a mom. Yeah,
you know, You're like, no, I get it, I get it,
Like I just want to chop on my hair off,
like yes, yeah, okay, So like that's where I'm like,
maybe I'm gonna be an elevator. I'm gonna dress like
an elevated mom. So I'll be the mom wearing off
a different matching set every day. I'll be so comfortable.
(23:58):
I never could have a different one every day.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
That's gonna get well, I have that's expensive?
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Is it? Because I have enough clothes in my closet
to wear a different outfit every day? So if I
just swap those out for sets over time, yeah, true,
that could be my thing. You think it'd be the
only problem is, like what if I have to go
to one nice dinner, I need to have elevated sets.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Did your mom have this set? Like I'm thinking back
to my mom when she in her forties and whatever
time she decided to chop all her hair and was
wearing lots of sets. But my mom had it was
a matching top in pants and it was just plain colors,
like she had different colors they were playing, but then
there were like painted seashells on them side, like on
(24:38):
the left side and then down the left leg.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Did anybody else have these?
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Or is that just in Austin.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
I will say my mom is always dressed well, like
she dressed is cute, like she has cuter clothes than
I do now. But I do remember her doing the
puff paint sweatshirts. That reminds me, I know what you're
talking about. She never wore those. I feel like maybe
my grandma wore those, yeah, but not my my mom
did a she didn't want eighty like she's like, I'm
(25:04):
going full force.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
She was like it was like one day she woke
up and was just like mom mode aggravated.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
But did your mom make you the puff paint like, oh.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
You have paint shirts? Oh, and I glue rhinestones.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Yeah, she would. They would have all her friends over
and they would make us like holiday puff paint sweatshirts
like Christmas ribbons. Yes, and they were really cute. I
want to bring those back when I have kids.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
You can't bring it back whenever you want.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Well, like, I'm not going to wear the puff paint sweatshirt.
I'm wearing it. That wouldn't go with my set.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Yeah, okay, ah, little detour there. But I think this
conversation is one we're having like as friends, and I
think that others listening they might be having either in
their own heads or with their friends, because I can't
be alone in this like no weird place of like
what is happening? And then like why am I? I
(25:58):
don't have to listen? I don't have to listen. I
appreciate the tips, but also I don't have to obey
the rules. We can throw out the list the rules. Yeah,
well I don't know. Some of them are really and
I'm like, they have a gift. They have a gift
like some people with fashion, Like they have a gift.
Like they clearly can like put things together really well
(26:20):
and that's awesome, but that's just like not anyway. Thank
you Brooklyn Decker for for that. Enjulia for your voicemail.
I do have an email to read. This is from
(26:44):
Ashley in Arizona and speaking of a vibe or an
aesthetic or a look. A look a fire fits you.
Know how I mentioned that I want to be a cowgirl.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Yes, I do.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
That's what they see this emails about. Hey, Amy, I
am so here for your twenty twenty six cowgirl era.
I'm a country girl through and through. Got to say
it's the best, simplest way of life. I highly encourage
you to dip your toe in the lifestyle, but to
really see it. Please don't do a tourist dude ranch.
Find a real working cattle ranch to visit. There is
(27:18):
nothing like it. If you ever find yourself in Arizona,
I got you. My husband and I aren't ranchers ourselves,
just some agriage, but we team rope, train horses, and
for fun we go to the family ranch to help
them gather brand and all the things. Your word of
the year less really does fit this goal as well,
because the true cowboy way is bare bones, nothing fancy,
(27:40):
and yet the wealthiest life ever in all the right ways.
I hope you get the opportunity to experience it. Hope
you have the day you need to have. Ashley in Arizona.
No need to be anonymous. PS can't forget to say
hi to Cat as well. Love this podcast, your energy
together and randomness that is feeling things which we sure
are random. Yes we are, and.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Yes, wait, let's go. I would love to go to Arizona.
My question is what's a dude ranch.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
I think a dude ranch is like you go. They
take people from the city that want to experience cowboy
life and they pretend cowboy like it's like a ranch
that gives you the full experience instead of like going
to someone's ranch and watching them work, yeah, or them
(28:31):
taking along you along for the ride. Okay, Like I
would just be joining in like a dude ranch. I'd
be like, Hey, I'm here for the week and I'm paying,
and you're gonna give me the cowboy life.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Sounds kind of nice. Well, yeah, I see the benefits
of both. Okay, So, speaking of fits, I bet Cowgirl
era has or would have a certain like look, are
you gonna.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Yeah, I got to really figure out my you're.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Kind of cowgirl? Ask Cowgirl in the city right now?
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Oh? Thanks? Yeah, I have one kitten heel boots. I
don't think so there.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Okay, but here's why I thought that. There's some stitching
on them that resembles out of a boot travel air. Yes,
and your shirt is blue, which is the same color
as a denim and denim shirts. I imagine people wearing them.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
On the ranch out west. You know, Chase has a
cattle ranch or boy Chase, is.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
It real working? Oh?
Speaker 2 (29:25):
They're working. Yeah, his license plate says beef. I'm like,
I don't think it gets anymore okay cattle than that.
And then my brother did I tell you about the
song he wrote for my uncle about beef because my
uncle was the manager at George Strait's ranch.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
My uncle said, that's so cool.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Yeah, like as a kid, I went there.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
That is so cool. And like George was in Austin.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
It's in South Texas and my uncle lived on the ranch.
So when my dad and I went to stay with him,
we like went in the ranch and like you enter
and it was like, wait, you know his brand, like
the G and the S.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Did you meet him?
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (30:12):
Is that where part of your love for him comes? Yes?
It was like nostalgic.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
I love an obsession. Yes, I loved straight And when
we first moved to Nashville, when we started working in
country music, I met George like the first week I
was here, which is very rare because he's not in
Nashville all the time. And I went up to him
straight away and I was like, well, it wasn't straight
away because we were at an industry party. And then
I waited for the right time. Per the people I
(30:36):
was with, They're like, now the time to go, let's go,
let's go, say hi, I'm like perfect because I was
with like his label. They knew him, so they went
over and kindly introduced me, and then I said Ted
Moffatt was my uncle, and he was like shut up,
and I was like, yeah, so that's sort of what
I see him so few and far between. Like so
(30:57):
I've lived in Nashville twelve years and I've seen George
three times total in my entire country music career. So
there was that time when I first met him and
I got the inn with him real quick, and I
was like, yeah, I came when I was a kid
with my dad and stayed at your ranch. I mean
he was there, but I mean, of course he doesn't
probably remember that. And guess what I did. I was
(31:17):
probably eight or nine years old. I wore George straight shirt.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Oh kill me wait.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
To meet him.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
That's that's so cute.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
I feel like it's a bit much. You're eight, I know,
but like.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Amy, that's adorable. That's like we didn't even.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Know for sure if we would see George because my
uncle wasn't gonna I think that's cute. We're like not
going to bother him, you know, it wasn't gonna be
was like if he's down at the if he's down
here roping, like we'll see him.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
If he's just down here roping, that's crazy. And that's adorable.
That's like a little kid wearing like a tailor swift
shirt to the aristour. Okay, I think it's adorable. It's sweet.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Thank you. So I did that. And then he played
iHeart Country in Austin, and so I saw him backstage
and because you know, I was like, uh, I guess
that wasn't the second time. That was probably the last
time I saw him. The second time he came to
the studio and surprised me. I was doing a phone
(32:15):
interview with him, and I thought it was strictly the phone.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Were you nervous for the phone interview or are you
just not nervous about that stuff.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
I don't get nervous about that stuff. I mean, of
course I was nervous, like I wanted it to go well,
but I was more excited like let's go, like, let's
do this. And so I'm on the phone with him
and I'm in the studio and he is on a
cell phone walking in the studio to surprise me in person,
and I was shocked. And they haven't filmed, like it's
(32:42):
probably over on Facebook because this was a long time
ago too, but that was like a really special memory.
So then he surprised me. But even then I'm like,
remember me, I'm George Straits or I'm Ted moffitz niece.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
He's like, oh yeah, da da da da da, So
he like knows who you are.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Well not really. I feel like every time I meet him,
I have to be like, I'm Amy Brown. Ted Moffatt
is my niece, and I work in radio. I'm on
the Bobby Bone Show. Because then when I saw him
in Austin, I was backstage and he had just performed
and his wife, Norma, she was with him, and I'm like,
I have to go say I have to go say hi.
I have to go say hi. So I go over
and I say hi. But of course, and the lunchbox
(33:20):
is like filming me and all the or taking pictures,
but all the pictures were like glorri and awful, but they're.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Kind of cute. They're kind of cute, and Blorry pictures
are kind of in right now.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Oh good, yeah, that's perfect. Maybe I'll need to post
theas in honor of the story. But I go up
and I do my usual spiel of like, hey, I'm
Amy from the Bobby Bone shows like Ted Moffatt was
my uncle, and he's like, oh my gosh. He's like Amy,
you know Norma, don't you? And I'm like, no, hey, Norma.
But I thought it was really cute that he acted like,
(33:50):
of course I would know Norma Norma his wife.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Did he act like he remembered you or was he like.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Yeah, I mean I think that. No, he acted like
oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah, And then that's why he
was like, you know, Norma, don't you? And I'm like, no,
Norman and I have never met, But that's sweet of
you to say. So really, back to the original part
of my story was part of the song that my
brother wrote. I wanted to read it to you, and
his song is really making me want to live out
my cowgirl days. He wrote this about my uncle. So
(34:18):
he worked on the ranch and he retired. He would
that's the last ranch he worked on, and he was
probably in his eighties. Oh my gosh when he quit
working at George's ranch. So this is verse three. It
seems forty years. Nothing changed, same old fences, same old range.
Boss Man said you've earned your rest. He just laughed
(34:40):
and stared off. West said, I've seen him walk away,
watched him witherr watched him fade. Every friend who quit
on life rusted out like an old fence knife, And
it just made me think of like, Yeah, he wanted
to keep working and keep working because he thought if
he quit, he would rust away and die, or he.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Could turn to Patina, or he could he was a
Patina cowboy.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Yeah, he said he always had the no acetol disease.
I don't get it, no acetol disease, no ass at all. Yeah, wranglers,
and he only wore wranglers because George had George had
a wranglers deal, so my uncle had free wranglers for
like life. But he said he had the no acetol disease.
And his belly done lapped over his belt, so he
(35:28):
had done lap disease. My belly done lapped over my belt,
so his belly hungover and his butt was flat. He
was funny. He has since fasted away, but he lived
a good life and he worked hard. And yeah, I
want to the song that my brother was yeah, called
riding fence lines. I want to ride fence slides, Oh my.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
Horse and like, no, it would be really cute work.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
From sun up to sundown and like, wait, do.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
You really want to do that for a little bit
like a weekend?
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Maybe?
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Yeah, I don't know that that would be the lifestyle
long term, but it would be fun to like pop
in and out. Yeah, maybe that could be a cute.
Like we can get away you and Alex do it's
like you go work at it.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Well, we go to Arizona, Yeah, work a real yeah.
Or chase. Maybe we go out to Kansas and work chases.
Or my brother like he grew up like he lives
in the city now, but he grew up in West
Texas and like around farmers and ranchers. Like I didn't
have that lifestyle. I grew up in the city. I
think I mentioned that on the last episode when I
talked about wanting to be a cow girl. Is that
my half Brotherren's half sister. They grew up with that
(36:36):
lifestyle and I, yeah, I'm jealous. They did Rattlesneak round up.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
But here's the thing. You always want what you don't have.
You know, like you want like curly hair when your
hair is straight, Like have you ever gotten a perm Yeah? Yeah,
mistake for me, you know. Yeah, And so I want
my hair to be curly sometimes, but I don't want
to change my whole hair. So maybe you just want
like dabble in that, but you don't want to really,
(37:03):
you want to dabble in the cowgirl lifestyle, but you
don't want to be a lifer.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
Lines in the morning light, Ryan Finnce, Lines till the
day turns night.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
Or maybe we make this into like a reality show
and we send you off to go be a cowgirl
and we see how long you last, like Naked and Afraid,
except it's cowgirl and Afraid.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
Verse two, worming cattle, running shoots, welding gates, and pulling roots.
I think you should try it warming cattle. Oh gosh,
my other warmy like warming like maybe dewarming cattle.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
I thought you were saying warm.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
Like, yeah, no, warming, that would be cute. I would
love to cuddle a cow. But my other uncle, my
uncle Frank, he was a large animal vet so he
would like stick his whole arm in a cow's But no.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
No, you might have to do that if you're a cowgirl,
So be careful what you wish for.
Speaker 2 (37:58):
Yeah, all right, this is fun. Welcome to couch talks.
We'd have some other voicemails to go through, but we'll
save those.
Speaker 1 (38:07):

our Q and a episode to the Feeling Things podcast.
I'm Amy and I'm Kat.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
And quick disclaimer before we get started that although we
are answering emails and giving some feedback, this podcast doesn't
serve as a replacement for therapy or mental health services.
We do help it.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Help, we sure do. We're starting off with a voicemail
from Julia. We've actually had a few voicemails and then
an email to read, so I don't really know for
sure for sure that you needed the disclaimer, because who
knows what kind of advice I'll be throwing around, But
you know, just cover our bases.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
You never know where it's going to go.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
You never know. So here is a little word from Julia.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Hi, this is Julia from Wisconsin. I am just calling
because I giggled when Amy said all she wants for
Christmas is voice memos, and I voice memo all my friends,
so I just saw it was only fitting to send
you guys a little note. I wanted to say that
I really enjoyed the episode am the chaos that was
the firing things episode and the sombreros. All the things
(01:33):
had me giggling. But I chose fire as my word
for twenty twenty six because I thought about how I
need to fire things in my life that aren't serving me.
But also like, instead of hot girl walks, I'm calling
them fire girl walks. And I really want to focus
on my look this year and my style, so I'm
(01:55):
going to put together some fire fits like the kids say.
But overall, thanks for being you, and I hope that
we can voice my mole back and forth some more so,
I hope you guys have the day you need to have.
Speak here that My husband also got me merch for Christmas,
so I got the T shirt.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
I'm very excited about it.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
But have a great day, and well, I'll talk to
you guys on Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Duh.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Yeah, this is as voice membering you back joya, Hi, Hi,
thank you for that cute message. And I love her
word of the air fire.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
I know, I want to change my word now.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
She's using it in a lot of different ways, which
reminds me of how I used water, you know, because
I wanted to drink it, but I also wanted to flow.
And I guess less is working in a couple of
different ways, like less things, less talking, more listening. So yeah,
the fire is working for like fire outfits, but also
she's going to fire things around her house and then
(02:52):
have fire girl walk.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Yeah, the fire girl walk got me. Also the fire.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Fits fire fits.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
I would like to work on my style too, but
I I just it's overwhelming.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Oh it is. And let's talk about that for a second.
Because towards the end of the year, it was a
lot of you know, all the lists of people online,
which I find helpful, so I'm thankful. It's this weird
place of being thankful for social media and all the
lists of like these are all the items I would
want if I didn't already have them, Oh yeah, or
like you know, picky girl Christmas list stuff, stuff that's helpful,
(03:26):
like oh yeah, I might want to get that from
my picky friend or maybe even I need that helpful.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Right.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Well, now we're rounding out, and now it's like, here's
everything you need for twenty twenty six, and I'm like,
more stuff. It's a lot, and I'm with you. It
gets overwhelming and I don't just want more stuff that
I'm eventually gonna have to fire get rid of.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Do you mean it's overwhelming with more than just clothes?
You mean like stuff in general? People are selling like lists.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I think the lists I saw. Brooklyn Decker actually did
a little PSA on her stories. Do you know her?
She is married to Andy Roddick and she's a I
don't know her well that do you know her?
Speaker 1 (04:07):
A model?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Yes, okay, model actress. She's in Grace and Frankie.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
I've never seen that. Oh it's funny too, Yeah, you
would like it.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
It's really cute.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
So she put up a story and she was like, hey,
she's like I got a bone to pick, and she's
real cute about it. But she's speaking truth like it
spoke to me where I was like, okay, and also
mental note for myself, like I don't want to contribute
in this area, not that I have lists that I
make that are make something in or out, Like I
(04:39):
don't do in or out lists. But she's like, now
that it's twenty twenty six, I keep seeing all these
lists that are like this is out and this is in,
especially when it comes to even home design, which she's
very passionate about, Like she's very gifted with design and decor,
and that's something she's also picked up and started doing,
like as part of her resume. So she's like, it
(05:02):
just seems caddy and cruel that we're online telling someone,
especially when it comes to their home, their sanctuary, something
that they are investing time into to make it their space,
that suddenly now they're going to hop online and we're
going to tell them it's out. She's like, let's just stop.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Well, okay, I actually had this. Thank you for bringing
this up, because more than the clothes, I can be like, Okay,
this is overwhelming. I want to work on my style,
but like I'm gonna wear this jean jacket again. I
can get over that easier. My house. I have been
paralyzed because of exactly what you're talking about. I see
all these videos that say stuff like that, like the
(05:40):
in and out, but also are like, this is how
I can tell your house is from twenty fifteen, and
it like lists all the things that are in there,
or this color floor is going to date your house,
or this or that, And then I'm like, well, I
don't want to ever decorate my house because usually the
things that I'm drawn to usually a lot of times
the things that I'm drawn to them because I keep
(06:01):
seeing them everywhere and I'm like, oh, I like that,
So does that mean I'm gonna like that? And in
five years I'm gonna have to redo my house again
because I don't have that kind of money or time
or energy, And so then I just end up doing nothing.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Yeah, I think when it comes to our homes, it's
really important to not go to specific on what's in
or out, in or out. It's what esthetically do you like?
And that's what I'm trying to build at my house
is just key pieces that I like that will be
timeless and it is what it is, Like I could
see myself walking into my kitchen in five years and
(06:34):
still liking it. Sometimes you design a kitchen and there
that may not be the case if you go too
specific with a certain stone or color or I don't know,
you sent me that TikTok video of the Patina and
that was a well, she's an interior designer and art director.
That was giving her two since I believe that was
(06:56):
her credentials.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
But I liked how she phrased that so she said,
and I felt really cool because I was like, oh,
I know what that word because we had just talked
about it. But she said, if you are struggling to
kind of finish your room, if your rooms just end
up not looking finished or there's something missing, she said,
the one thing that every every room needs in a
house is something betina. And I was like, something that
(07:21):
is bronze that has wear on it every room.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
That's what when we talked about on the podcast. That's
how we learned it. But it has I guess a
broader meaning of just something old old.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Yeah, something old that is like either well loved or
just like an old. It could be an old vase.
And I was like, that's very interesting. So when we're
over here thinking like I need to get this new
and this new and this new, sometimes when it's too
much new, then it looks off. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
She said she does a lot of her shopping on
Marketplace and I would imagine probably antique stores and vinted shops,
because she said even just an old stool in the
corner with some books on top could be the patina
you neique for a room. And so I was rearranging
stuff this last week, and then after you sent me
that video, I was like, okay, I need to make
sure I've got my patina in each room. And you
(08:11):
know what I did with my grandpa's dear head, put
an attic nos in my dining room. It's yes, it's
my patina for my dining room, all along with my
mom my mom's hutch, like her dining hutch.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
How did I miss this? It's hanging up? Yes, yeah,
huh it is.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
I mean it is a little tricky, and you know
have wallpaper in my dining room and it took some
wallpaper off the wall, so a little but he covers
it up just fine.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Mind him.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
I gave him a name too, Theodore, because that was
my grandpa's name.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Have a really cute name.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
It's my grandpa's name. And he apparently shot the buck,
and I did question hanging a buck in the dining room.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Like a dead animal in the where you eat.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
But I don't really eat a lot of venison eat
a ton, and I don't eat in there a ton exactly.
And then also he's cute and he's like watching over us.
And then I have those deer that come to my
yard and I have that window in my dining room.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Deer are gonna be like that could be up.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Yeah, I'm hoping they're more so like, oh, look a friend,
let's get closer to the Window's dead. No, hopefully they
won't recognize that because I won't hurt them. I'm not
a hunter, right, Okay, so I'll be like, come on,
little guys, just come hang out with your buddy Theodore.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Here's a question. M another fear I have. I just
wall paper the room in my house. I'm so afraid
to hang anything up.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Yeah, I'll learn that the hard way. I kind of
thought that, what are those things, the three command strips?
I thought you could use those.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
You can't.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
I don't know. Well, maybe I just didn't take it
off correctly.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
But if you command hooks, I've committed.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
You know.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
I hung up all those cowboy hats patina because those
are vintage cow You have a lot.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Of patina in your house. That's why your house is
so cute because it's just like Patina, Potina, Patina.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
I think I'm starting to understand that girl's point from TikTok.
The more Patina you have, the less likely you're gonna
walk into your house and be like, oh, my home's dated. Yeah,
because if it's Patina, of course it's dated. Yea. Yeah,
they like, I'm not following a trend.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Okay, I need to go back to the wallpaper. Did
you rip off wallpaper? What do you do? Do you just
have to cover it because you can't fix it?
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Yeah, the Theodore's stand there forever. Uh, and then the
cowboy hats they're gonna stay there. So if if someone
wanted to, like I moved, and they wanted to hang something,
they're gonna have to hang stuff to cover the wallpaper,
or they're gonna have to read wallpaper, which is fine.
But also let me say this. The mirror in my
(10:52):
dining room is from Wayfair and my light is new
from Anthropology in there. My light in the room we're
in right now is from Wayfair. But in my dining room,
like you can mix.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
And then I ordered a little side table from Amazon
that looks a little funky, but it's from Amazon, so
you can mix the legal even cheaper or new whatever
you want to call it, more modern with the old.
And I think it still is giving a vibe in
there now that like I wasn't wanting to hang out
my dining room, and now that I've spent some time
(11:24):
on it, I've spent some time patiniating it. Yeah, like
now I want to hang out my dining room. So
I don't even know how we got here because I
didn't plan on talking about it was more of the
you know, at the end of the year, it made
sense some of the over consumption because we're doing some
shopping for the holidays, but like rolling into the new year,
I had to like pause. I don't know, I may
have to pause certain accounts because.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Like, what do you mean account like social media accounts.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
That I like to follow, but that it's just too
much consumption, Like I like recommendations here and there, but
every day I don't need what's in, what's in, what's out.
While I it's tricky because while I am grateful for
the information, I also then feel attacked, and then getting
(12:08):
ready is stressful when I'm like, why don't I just
wear what I want right which, by the way, that
our director interior design, I know we're talking about home stuff,
but she said it also could be when you're you're
getting dressed as well, like throwing on a Patina piece,
like is there a vintage piece of jewelry or a
belt or something older like a bag.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
But how old? Because I have some clothes that my
friends try to get me to get rid of because
they think.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
It means stuff. I don't think it means stuff. I
can that's my patina fifteen years ago.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
I mean like five years ago. There's something. No that potato.
It's not Patina. I think it's like like a peplam
top that's going back. Pep tots are coming back.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Sorry, explain to me what peplam is that like the
big collar.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
No, pepulms work really cool. I feel like when I
was in college. Okay, I'm gonna be right after. It's
it's where they're like go out. I don't know how
to explain it. Like they're kind of tight around the
like right under your boobs, and then they go out.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
What you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
I think they're coming back a little bit, but I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
But that's where we get stuck too if they're coming
back a little bit, don't we want to build our
wardrobes with stuff that like doesn't go in or out?
Speaker 1 (13:19):
But what if I like it? I mean, peplum tops
aren't my thing. That's just what came to my mind.
I have this one sweater that looks like a rug
that sina. Honestly, wait, then where'd you get it? That
t apology? I remember when I bought it, and I
spent a lot of money on it, but I really
loved it, and at that time I probably shouldn't have
(13:40):
bought it, but I loved it so much, and I
probably have only worn it twice because it's a it's
a piece you've never seen it.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Because I feel like I'm gonna love it.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
It looks Patina or that like a cat got into
a ball of yarn kind of thing. It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Okay, next episode, Yeah, can you wear it next Tuesday?
Speaker 1 (14:03):
I can. Yeah, okay, but only if you promise not
to make fun of it. Because my friends were like,
when I move, They're like, you have to get rid
of this is the ugliest thing I've ever seen.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Now, so I won't make fun of it at all.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
No, But I love this.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
You're telling the person that one time I wore a
really cool sweater to work and the guys made fun
of it, and I cried, what did it look like? Well,
they put me a side by side picture next to
the dumb and Dumber Okay, the long sweater.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
I was like, I've never seen that. I'm sorry, everyone's reference.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Okay, you ruined it.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
I think if you google like Amy sweater, Bobby Bone Show,
Dumb and Dumber by side, I will come up yeallick hair.
Maybe I could show you I didn't keep that sweater.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
So see. Okay, that's why you're being so nice to me,
because you feel personally victimized.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Yeah, like I can relate to that, but I definitely
Oh here it is.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Yep. Wait, I love that's so Patina. I love it.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Yeah that I got it at a a cheap little
boutique in Austin. It wasn't Patina. But yeah, I'm passing
my computer over to Cat so that she can take
a gander at my sweater.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Wait, first of all, it does not look like the
dumb and Dumber sweater, And that probably was so in
When was this?
Speaker 2 (15:16):
That was? Probably I was on clomid. I was trying
to get pregnant, so it was maybe two thousand and nine.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Okay. I was gonna say, kind of remind me of
the Chevron era. Whenever it's wearing chevron, we remember that
I had a lot of Chevron.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
I had a lot of Chevron. I'm trying to think.
I mean this wasuposted to facebooks.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Okay, if you've wore that, This is how like I
much about fashion. I don't know if you would have
worn that sweater today, I would have been like, oh,
that's so cute.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
I think that actually would still get by today, like
it would be okay, But I just emotionally. In fact,
I'm wearing some fry boots. Those are back in. The
boots I have on are back in. You still have
no cold, but see they're going to go out again.
Like I want timeless.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Nothing's timeless. It's timeless. Name one thing that's timeless. Diamond areas.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Yes, uh, black boots with a heel, timeless, pointy tail,
black boots for a heel.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
No, that's not true. That's true because there is a
time girl was in No.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
No, not pointy pointy. I'm not talking like you know
point was in kind of pointy. Nope, I saw someone
say it. I saw. I saw an influencer tell me
this will never got a style, and I believe her.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Okay, I did. I just bought some pointy sock boot
type kitten heels. I don't know what you mean by
sock like, well, these ones are less sock but I
got some brown ones in the sock boot I saw. Okay,
there says a really cool influencer. I want to be
her so bad. She's so cool and like, I'll send
(16:50):
her to you. She's so relaxed and she's like, do
you see how I made this outfit?
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (16:57):
She talks so like cool and like monotone and like
she's effortlessly just like she wears a lot of Patina.
That's wrobably why she looks so cool?
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Does she put together a firefit?
Speaker 1 (17:07):
She puts together firefits and she I watched this video.
I don't know why about how to know when it's
ready to retire your boots? And they were sock boots,
and I was like, oh, she has sock boots, so
I probably should get some sock boots. And I've been
wanting some boots that can go under jeans, you know,
because I have like the tall ones and that's uncomfortable.
Sock boots are correct me if I'm wrong, Shannon. They're
(17:28):
like shorter boots. But you wouldn't wear them.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Do they zip or they slide on like a sock?
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Both? But I have one. I have one that slides
on like a sock, my brown ones, and you wouldn't
wear them where you could see. You would wear them
under a long skirt or jeans. You wouldn't wear them
where you could see the like, what do you call that?
The shaft?
Speaker 2 (17:46):
So it just gets really like yeah, it's the shaft.
It's like it gets really towards the yes, towards ankle.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
It's like tight, not a lot of support. But they're
really cool, sleek looking shoes. I got a pair of
brown sued ones and a pair of black leather cute
and I've worn them a lot. So this kitten heels
which came back in thank god, because I don't walk
well on the heel, but I can rock a kitten heel.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Yeah, I'm on kitten heels right now. What is this influencer?
Do you know her handle? Can I go?
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Okay? I don't even think I follow her. I think
she just shows up on my TikTok, so I'll just
have to scroll and find her and then.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
I'll save her, okay, because now we all need to know. Yeah,
if she's speaking in a soothing she's so cool manner
and it's not a bunch of like fast fashion, No,
I want to throw away like no.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
And she also taught me this trick which I utilized.
She was like, do you want to interpersonate her? But
I can't. But she was like, do you ever have
you been through the phase where you wear the white
T shirt with the black blazer And she's like, we
all did that during the summer and if you're wondering
why that doesn't translate into the fall winter because it's
too much contrast. You have the white and the blackness
(18:54):
too much. And so she was like, try throwing on
a gray crew neck. You probably have one in your closet. Yeah,
And I did. And I did it, and I was like,
this is firefit. I didn't wear because I didn't need
to wear a note fit like that anywhere, but it
looked I tried it on. I was like, this looks
so much cooler and more effortless. We're like I just
(19:15):
threw this gray T shirt on in this blazer with
my sock boot. Oh my gosh, I'm about to go
hit the town. Okay, I'll find her, and well, i'll
find her by the time this comes out, and we
can tag her in the or we can put her in.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
The in the show notes. Yeah, because people want to
know she's so, especially Julia because she's trying to focus
on her fire fits. So Julia needs to know this
TikTok person which Julia's voicemail let us down a hole,
rabbit hole. I did not plan on going on, but
it just made me think of the just feels heavy
(19:49):
right now. We're over I'm over stimulating. I'm overwhelmed by
all the inns and the outs and the needs and
the It's made me want to pause, Like I'm like pause.
Then we're shopping. I did this a couple of years ago,
and I'm back at it again, and I'm like, we
are good where you're going to find things in our closet.
(20:10):
We are capable, We're not adding. I want to be
real intentional about it because I go in and out,
I go through phases.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Then do you ever go to your closet? And you're
like I have nothing to do. Y.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Yeah, But that's where I'm like, no, I'm not going
to speak that way. But that's where I'm like, no,
I'm not going to speak that way because I feel
(20:42):
like if I energy, if I go into my closet
with that attitude, of course I'm not going to find anything.
But if I go in ready to put together a
fire fit and I believe in myself and I can
do it, and maybe I get that girl you follow
on TikTok or that you don't follow bit that pops
up on your TikTok to soothing style tips, then like
(21:03):
I'm gonna be good to go.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
And also I just want to trust my self more
like trust what do What do I want to wear?
What do I feel good in? And I do want
to challenge myself to get dressed a little more this
year because I do default to sweats. Honestly, are feeling
things sweat set. I was gonna say, we you have
(21:27):
that's a really cute set for free people.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
But I've worn it the last like four days.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
That's okay.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
I did watch it last night.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
I am okay with that, And I think you look
cute in your set, and I think that our set
is cute, like a set is cute is elevated sweats. Okay, However,
I can default to that a lot to where the
other night I was meeting my boyfriend and his son's
basketball game, and normally I would roll up there and
workout clothes or whatever, and we were doing nothing. I
(21:56):
was just gonna go to the game and then I
was gonna go buy his house and then come home.
But I decided, you know what, I'm gonna put on
jeans and boots. Wow. And I'm gonna kind of like
brush my hair and put on a like a little
button down and it's just like a denim top. It
was really easy. But it was like when he saw
me walk in, he was like, hey, yuh. He's like,
(22:18):
what are you doing?
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Where are you going later?
Speaker 2 (22:20):
And I was like nowhere. I just decided to, like,
and I did feel better, like I felt. It was
just like my whole demeanor felt a little.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
I have a thought better. What do you know any
of those like Mostly it's like famous people who like
their thing is that they wear T shirts. Like there's
a singer Chelsea Cutler. She I've only ever seen her
in a T shirt. She only wears T shirts, Like, well,
I kind of love that, And I think that, like,
what if my thing was just to wear a set sets?
(22:54):
Because I don't enjoy putting together outfits I used to
I used to love, like I feel like I used
to be way more like fashionable in the know. But
as I've gotten older, it's gotten more confusing. And I
think that I just part of me doesn't care, but
part of me feels like I should care. I think
I'm I think I'm discovering something as we speak. I
(23:15):
think I feel like I should care because I used
to care, and I used to really like that stuff.
And I remember when I was younger being like my
mom dresses like a mom, or like my mom dresses
like a cool mom. Like I remember the like distinction
of those, like when you see someone who's like they
dress like a cool mom, where like they dress like
a mom, you know, And I was like, I'm never
gonna just dress like a mom. But now I'm at
(23:36):
the age that I could be a mom, and I'm like, well,
I think I just want to dress like a mom. Yeah,
you know, You're like, no, I get it, I get it,
Like I just want to chop on my hair off,
like yes, yeah, okay, So like that's where I'm like,
maybe I'm gonna be an elevator. I'm gonna dress like
an elevated mom. So I'll be the mom wearing off
a different matching set every day. I'll be so comfortable.
(23:58):
I never could have a different one every day.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
That's gonna get well, I have that's expensive?
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Is it? Because I have enough clothes in my closet
to wear a different outfit every day? So if I
just swap those out for sets over time, yeah, true,
that could be my thing. You think it'd be the
only problem is, like what if I have to go
to one nice dinner, I need to have elevated sets.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Did your mom have this set? Like I'm thinking back
to my mom when she in her forties and whatever
time she decided to chop all her hair and was
wearing lots of sets. But my mom had it was
a matching top in pants and it was just plain colors,
like she had different colors they were playing, but then
there were like painted seashells on them side, like on
(24:38):
the left side and then down the left leg.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Did anybody else have these?
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Or is that just in Austin.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
I will say my mom is always dressed well, like
she dressed is cute, like she has cuter clothes than
I do now. But I do remember her doing the
puff paint sweatshirts. That reminds me, I know what you're
talking about. She never wore those. I feel like maybe
my grandma wore those, yeah, but not my my mom
did a she didn't want eighty like she's like, I'm
(25:04):
going full force.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
She was like it was like one day she woke
up and was just like mom mode aggravated.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
But did your mom make you the puff paint like, oh.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
You have paint shirts? Oh, and I glue rhinestones.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Yeah, she would. They would have all her friends over
and they would make us like holiday puff paint sweatshirts
like Christmas ribbons. Yes, and they were really cute. I
want to bring those back when I have kids.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
You can't bring it back whenever you want.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Well, like, I'm not going to wear the puff paint sweatshirt.
I'm wearing it. That wouldn't go with my set.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Yeah, okay, ah, little detour there. But I think this
conversation is one we're having like as friends, and I
think that others listening they might be having either in
their own heads or with their friends, because I can't
be alone in this like no weird place of like
what is happening? And then like why am I? I
(25:58):
don't have to listen? I don't have to listen. I
appreciate the tips, but also I don't have to obey
the rules. We can throw out the list the rules. Yeah,
well I don't know. Some of them are really and
I'm like, they have a gift. They have a gift
like some people with fashion, Like they have a gift.
Like they clearly can like put things together really well
(26:20):
and that's awesome, but that's just like not anyway. Thank
you Brooklyn Decker for for that. Enjulia for your voicemail.
I do have an email to read. This is from
(26:44):
Ashley in Arizona and speaking of a vibe or an
aesthetic or a look. A look a fire fits you.
Know how I mentioned that I want to be a cowgirl.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Yes, I do.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
That's what they see this emails about. Hey, Amy, I
am so here for your twenty twenty six cowgirl era.
I'm a country girl through and through. Got to say
it's the best, simplest way of life. I highly encourage
you to dip your toe in the lifestyle, but to
really see it. Please don't do a tourist dude ranch.
Find a real working cattle ranch to visit. There is
(27:18):
nothing like it. If you ever find yourself in Arizona,
I got you. My husband and I aren't ranchers ourselves,
just some agriage, but we team rope, train horses, and
for fun we go to the family ranch to help
them gather brand and all the things. Your word of
the year less really does fit this goal as well,
because the true cowboy way is bare bones, nothing fancy,
(27:40):
and yet the wealthiest life ever in all the right ways.
I hope you get the opportunity to experience it. Hope
you have the day you need to have. Ashley in Arizona.
No need to be anonymous. PS can't forget to say
hi to Cat as well. Love this podcast, your energy
together and randomness that is feeling things which we sure
are random. Yes we are, and.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Yes, wait, let's go. I would love to go to Arizona.
My question is what's a dude ranch.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
I think a dude ranch is like you go. They
take people from the city that want to experience cowboy
life and they pretend cowboy like it's like a ranch
that gives you the full experience instead of like going
to someone's ranch and watching them work, yeah, or them
(28:31):
taking along you along for the ride. Okay, Like I
would just be joining in like a dude ranch. I'd
be like, Hey, I'm here for the week and I'm paying,
and you're gonna give me the cowboy life.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Sounds kind of nice. Well, yeah, I see the benefits
of both. Okay, So, speaking of fits, I bet Cowgirl
era has or would have a certain like look, are
you gonna.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Yeah, I got to really figure out my you're.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Kind of cowgirl? Ask Cowgirl in the city right now?
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Oh? Thanks? Yeah, I have one kitten heel boots. I
don't think so there.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Okay, but here's why I thought that. There's some stitching
on them that resembles out of a boot travel air. Yes,
and your shirt is blue, which is the same color
as a denim and denim shirts. I imagine people wearing them.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
On the ranch out west. You know, Chase has a
cattle ranch or boy Chase, is.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
It real working? Oh?
Speaker 2 (29:25):
They're working. Yeah, his license plate says beef. I'm like,
I don't think it gets anymore okay cattle than that.
And then my brother did I tell you about the
song he wrote for my uncle about beef because my
uncle was the manager at George Strait's ranch.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
My uncle said, that's so cool.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Yeah, like as a kid, I went there.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
That is so cool. And like George was in Austin.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
It's in South Texas and my uncle lived on the ranch.
So when my dad and I went to stay with him,
we like went in the ranch and like you enter
and it was like, wait, you know his brand, like
the G and the S.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Did you meet him?
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (30:12):
Is that where part of your love for him comes? Yes?
It was like nostalgic.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
I love an obsession. Yes, I loved straight And when
we first moved to Nashville, when we started working in
country music, I met George like the first week I
was here, which is very rare because he's not in
Nashville all the time. And I went up to him
straight away and I was like, well, it wasn't straight
away because we were at an industry party. And then
I waited for the right time. Per the people I
(30:36):
was with, They're like, now the time to go, let's go,
let's go, say hi, I'm like perfect because I was
with like his label. They knew him, so they went
over and kindly introduced me, and then I said Ted
Moffatt was my uncle, and he was like shut up,
and I was like, yeah, so that's sort of what
I see him so few and far between. Like so
(30:57):
I've lived in Nashville twelve years and I've seen George
three times total in my entire country music career. So
there was that time when I first met him and
I got the inn with him real quick, and I
was like, yeah, I came when I was a kid
with my dad and stayed at your ranch. I mean
he was there, but I mean, of course he doesn't
probably remember that. And guess what I did. I was
(31:17):
probably eight or nine years old. I wore George straight shirt.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Oh kill me wait.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
To meet him.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
That's that's so cute.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
I feel like it's a bit much. You're eight, I know,
but like.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Amy, that's adorable. That's like we didn't even.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Know for sure if we would see George because my
uncle wasn't gonna I think that's cute. We're like not
going to bother him, you know, it wasn't gonna be
was like if he's down at the if he's down
here roping, like we'll see him.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
If he's just down here roping, that's crazy. And that's adorable.
That's like a little kid wearing like a tailor swift
shirt to the aristour. Okay, I think it's adorable. It's sweet.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Thank you. So I did that. And then he played
iHeart Country in Austin, and so I saw him backstage
and because you know, I was like, uh, I guess
that wasn't the second time. That was probably the last
time I saw him. The second time he came to
the studio and surprised me. I was doing a phone
(32:15):
interview with him, and I thought it was strictly the phone.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Were you nervous for the phone interview or are you
just not nervous about that stuff.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
I don't get nervous about that stuff. I mean, of
course I was nervous, like I wanted it to go well,
but I was more excited like let's go, like, let's
do this. And so I'm on the phone with him
and I'm in the studio and he is on a
cell phone walking in the studio to surprise me in person,
and I was shocked. And they haven't filmed, like it's
(32:42):
probably over on Facebook because this was a long time
ago too, but that was like a really special memory.
So then he surprised me. But even then I'm like,
remember me, I'm George Straits or I'm Ted moffitz niece.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
He's like, oh yeah, da da da da da, So
he like knows who you are.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Well not really. I feel like every time I meet him,
I have to be like, I'm Amy Brown. Ted Moffatt
is my niece, and I work in radio. I'm on
the Bobby Bone Show. Because then when I saw him
in Austin, I was backstage and he had just performed
and his wife, Norma, she was with him, and I'm like,
I have to go say I have to go say hi.
I have to go say hi. So I go over
and I say hi. But of course, and the lunchbox
(33:20):
is like filming me and all the or taking pictures,
but all the pictures were like glorri and awful, but they're.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Kind of cute. They're kind of cute, and Blorry pictures
are kind of in right now.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Oh good, yeah, that's perfect. Maybe I'll need to post
theas in honor of the story. But I go up
and I do my usual spiel of like, hey, I'm
Amy from the Bobby Bone shows like Ted Moffatt was
my uncle, and he's like, oh my gosh. He's like Amy,
you know Norma, don't you? And I'm like, no, hey, Norma.
But I thought it was really cute that he acted like,
(33:50):
of course I would know Norma Norma his wife.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Did he act like he remembered you or was he like.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Yeah, I mean I think that. No, he acted like
oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah, And then that's why he
was like, you know, Norma, don't you? And I'm like, no,
Norman and I have never met, But that's sweet of
you to say. So really, back to the original part
of my story was part of the song that my
brother wrote. I wanted to read it to you, and
his song is really making me want to live out
my cowgirl days. He wrote this about my uncle. So
(34:18):
he worked on the ranch and he retired. He would
that's the last ranch he worked on, and he was
probably in his eighties. Oh my gosh when he quit
working at George's ranch. So this is verse three. It
seems forty years. Nothing changed, same old fences, same old range.
Boss Man said you've earned your rest. He just laughed
(34:40):
and stared off. West said, I've seen him walk away,
watched him witherr watched him fade. Every friend who quit
on life rusted out like an old fence knife, And
it just made me think of like, Yeah, he wanted
to keep working and keep working because he thought if
he quit, he would rust away and die, or he.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Could turn to Patina, or he could he was a
Patina cowboy.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Yeah, he said he always had the no acetol disease.
I don't get it, no acetol disease, no ass at all. Yeah, wranglers,
and he only wore wranglers because George had George had
a wranglers deal, so my uncle had free wranglers for
like life. But he said he had the no acetol disease.
And his belly done lapped over his belt, so he
(35:28):
had done lap disease. My belly done lapped over my belt,
so his belly hungover and his butt was flat. He
was funny. He has since fasted away, but he lived
a good life and he worked hard. And yeah, I
want to the song that my brother was yeah, called
riding fence lines. I want to ride fence slides, Oh my.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
Horse and like, no, it would be really cute work.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
From sun up to sundown and like, wait, do.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
You really want to do that for a little bit
like a weekend?
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Maybe?
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Yeah, I don't know that that would be the lifestyle
long term, but it would be fun to like pop
in and out. Yeah, maybe that could be a cute.
Like we can get away you and Alex do it's
like you go work at it.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Well, we go to Arizona, Yeah, work a real yeah.
Or chase. Maybe we go out to Kansas and work chases.
Or my brother like he grew up like he lives
in the city now, but he grew up in West
Texas and like around farmers and ranchers. Like I didn't
have that lifestyle. I grew up in the city. I
think I mentioned that on the last episode when I
talked about wanting to be a cow girl. Is that
my half Brotherren's half sister. They grew up with that
(36:36):
lifestyle and I, yeah, I'm jealous. They did Rattlesneak round up.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
But here's the thing. You always want what you don't have.
You know, like you want like curly hair when your
hair is straight, Like have you ever gotten a perm Yeah? Yeah,
mistake for me, you know. Yeah, And so I want
my hair to be curly sometimes, but I don't want
to change my whole hair. So maybe you just want
like dabble in that, but you don't want to really,
(37:03):
you want to dabble in the cowgirl lifestyle, but you
don't want to be a lifer.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
Lines in the morning light, Ryan Finnce, Lines till the
day turns night.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
Or maybe we make this into like a reality show
and we send you off to go be a cowgirl
and we see how long you last, like Naked and Afraid,
except it's cowgirl and Afraid.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
Verse two, worming cattle, running shoots, welding gates, and pulling roots.
I think you should try it warming cattle. Oh gosh,
my other warmy like warming like maybe dewarming cattle.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
I thought you were saying warm.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
Like, yeah, no, warming, that would be cute. I would
love to cuddle a cow. But my other uncle, my
uncle Frank, he was a large animal vet so he
would like stick his whole arm in a cow's But no.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
No, you might have to do that if you're a cowgirl,
So be careful what you wish for.
Speaker 2 (37:58):
Yeah, all right, this is fun. Welcome to couch talks.
We'd have some other voicemails to go through, but we'll
save those.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
I don't think we needed the disclaimer today.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
Well yeah, yeah, you're probably right, but we hope people
have the day that they need to have wherever it
is that you are, and Kat will link her soothing
cool girl, cool Girl Fashion person and the show notes,
