Speaker 1 (00:00):
Maria, Good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
I am I am from Portland. I have been a
fan for a very very long time, never been to Phoenix,
but we are here. I'm here with my husband for
his work trip, and I'm also here with my father
in law and my mother in law and my father
in law my husband are at work, and it's just
(00:24):
me and my mother in law during the day, and
she just doesn't like me, and so I'm I'm in
this this different state with my mother in law who
doesn't like me, and I have no way to get anywhere,
she has the rental car, and I am just kind
of a little bit floundering. So I thought I'd ask John,
(00:47):
Jay and Rich to listen to my pity party and
see if maybe you guys could help me making something
to do or some way to get There's.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Lots of I mean, get away more, get an uber.
There's I mean, you're not stuck where you are for sure,
and there's so many fun things to do around town.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
But is your mother in law, like, did she take
the car and leave without you? Like she literally doesn't
like you?
Speaker 2 (01:07):
You know what? No, she didn't take the car and
leave without me. I just have avoided her this morning.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Okay, so you don't like her.
Speaker 5 (01:16):
Listen, wait, listen what I am conflict avoidant until conflict
confronts me. Okay, and then and then and then I'll
be fine to engage.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
But it's my husband's mom.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
I don't idea for you.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
I don't want to engage in conflict. But it seems
like there are so many things that come up that
I just bite my tongue about, Like what well, I mean,
exes and and our kids. We have a we have
a blended family, and they have a high favor for
his ex wife.
Speaker 6 (01:53):
Okay, yeah, so she has the car. Here's what I
would recommend on the get go. You want to do
something together so you're not bored, but a part so
that you're not exposed to her. There are so many
great day spas where you can get a massage or
a facial or something like that, and you don't have
to do it together. You just go together, turn her
loose for a few hours, your tune turned loose for
(02:15):
a few hours. You treat her so you look like
the good guy, but you don't really actually have to
spend that much time with her.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Yeah, I mean that sounds lovely, but it also sounds expensive.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Okay, what part of town are you in right now?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
We are at Scottsdale.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
What hotel are you in? Oh, you're right out by
old town Scottsdale.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Then I'm not sure. I've never been to Arizona, so
I was pretty excited to come down here. And the
last time we did a work trip with my husband
and my father in law, they had another employee and
her husband came and he was awesome. It was great
having a buddy. It was like, you know, an icebreaker
(02:58):
type of thing. But it's it's not that way.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
It's like a clock from the mall.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Okay, let's let's let's let's get her some help. Let's
help her. I'd really really like Kyle's idea of a weimo.
A Weaimo is awesome.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Weimo freaks me out. Have you ever been in one?
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Yeah? Everything one twice and I think it's awesome. I
love it. If you order yourself a WAYMO would just
kind of go around like the mall. If you're at
the I think that is like north of the mall,
but like two blocks right, yeah, you get the mall.
There's a great mall right there. You can walk around.
I'll see the weather's great, you can walk in the
canal bank, get out there, take a lime a lime
ride like.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
I just did that on Tempe Town Lake and it
was a blast.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
It was only like for forty minutes.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
I paid fifteen dollars.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
There's the PF change. It's a scooter scooter. They have
those rent right there. You just put your credit card
on it and you can just go. Yeah, you're walking
distance from a lot.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
So fun.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
It's really fun. I would probably try the electric scooter
before the weimo because then I'm the only one to
blame if something happens.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
You could also you could also take your mother in
law to Camelback, which is a nice mountain to go hike,
and the weather's great, and take your mother in law
there and if she can't hang, you just go all
the way to the top, or you can just leave it.
It's not it's it's it's one of those places where
sometimes people get lost and helicopter's got to rescue her.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Yeah, maybe they could rescue her. It's not that hot.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
But Sable, I don't hate her. I love her. I
just we don't get along.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Maybe she could be like that lady that went viral
because it's suppuned. The helicopter spun and how long are
you in town.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
For until Saturday?
Speaker 5 (04:36):
So okay, I think right there, we just gave you
a bunch of stuff.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I'm dead sore. You are in a really good spot.
I would. I went to a convention at that hotel,
if you know.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
I saw aspect that widespread who Robert Kennedy junr oh interesting?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I was learning about health and nutrition. That's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Yeah, so I know exactly where the hotel is.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Also, what kind of think like if is there an
interest that you know your mother in law has, because
then I think you could suggest, hey, let's do that together.
And it's almost like a kill them with kindness type thing,
like you just have to show her how awesome you are,
you know what I mean. And maybe you really haven't
had that opportunity because of the sort of unspoken tension.
Maybe this is like your chance to break through that
(05:22):
like a bonding moment between you two. You see these
rom coms all the time.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
I love that.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
It's like it's like the plot of crazy rich Asians.
They like the ex better. You gotta win them over.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Yeah, but let me tell you on the corner of
where you are. There's a whole bunch of stuff you
can do. There's great shopping, there's great malls, there's outdoor stuff,
there's and there's a canal.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Right there. You have everything right there. You're in a
really good spot.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
I can see the mountains from here, and it's so
it's just it's so beautiful. I have I did not
know how just big Phoenix was.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
I'm looking at the mountain too.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Look, we're both looking at the mountain, just like fible,
except you're looking at cattle Back.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I'm looking at cattle back right now.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Is that what that mountain is called.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Yeah, it's called Camelback Mountain. The when you're looking at
it's a beautiful mountain.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
It is a beautiful mountain. Oh, I'm very excited. Okay,
I take your.
