Speaker 1 (00:17):
Anyway, I really, I really am worried about him getting
videos like that with the cereal because I don't think
that's uh, I don't think that's really how he got it.
I think the Internet told him to watch it.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I think he was thinking, oh, hey, what, what's some.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Good cereal recipes?
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Because what's something I haven't tried in a while. I
absolutely love it. It's always fun to have him around.
It's been a few minutes since we've been in here
and got to show out to all these people. What
is new and exciting with you guys? Soccer's all Soccer
(01:07):

Speaker 3 (01:08):
Soccer?
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Oh yeah, that's right?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Is that your?
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Is that the uh? That's all the kids and the
A Y S O s and all that stuff, and
uh yeah, is that It's not as fun as it
as it looks.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
No, it's fun. It's just we were doing it five
days a week. Why because jaj has practiced two days
a week, Garrett has practiced two days a week, and
then they have two games on Saturdays.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Oh are they winning?
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Like?
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Are they on the winning teams?
Speaker 4 (01:39):
JJ actually just finished his last game today. And they're
not supposed to keep score, but the kids for sure
keep score. They were no other team beat them, and
today they were twenty to one.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Twenty. When did the ref shut the game down?
Speaker 3 (01:56):
We didn't.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
It was just the coaches.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
It was just a coach, No reck, When did the
coaches just go that's good enough? Like ten to one,
that's good enough.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
That everybody got minutes early.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
It has been thirty to one if we played the
extra minutes.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
That's because like they're not supposed to keep scoring. That league,
that league is too little. They're just little tiny ones.
Oh but the kids kids get.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
You just let your kids run around and kick balls
at that point. Yeah, just like run energy out of
them and stuff. Yeah, oh okay, well that's good.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
There is on the playoffs. So we just have to
do the playoffs and that'll be the next week.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Is there like a state champion or so? I don't
know how like the little league stuff works.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
No, Derek's in a league up above JJ's so like
they have like actual playoffs and tournaments. So it just
it's eight teams and then four and then two and
then whoever wins.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
And then the winner.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Yeah, So you're out there just living the mom life
you got. You're you're juggling soccer practice. You are a
soccer mom. You call my shirt.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
I have a shirt that's soccer mom.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
There we go, legit soccer mom.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Yeah, between soccer and school.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
I'm loving every soccer school and children. We're going to
talk about this a little bit. We gotta we have
an interesting topic for this episode. But first I was
new with Katie. I amn't. I haven't talked to you
in a minute.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Well, shortly after we last recorded, I had my birthday
and yeah, twenty one.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Happy late birthday, thank you.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
We ended up going to California.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Now you're you're from there though, so you went, Yeah,
you went back to your old stomping grounds. Yeah, since
we're talking about California, I went. I had to be
in California in like April. I was there for like
three or four days, and you just went. Do you notice,
like as as long as you've been away from California, Like,
do you notice a big difference going back to it
(04:19):
with like as far as like prices, the way people
are living, that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Honestly, like back to my stomping ground, it I could
roll up to someone's house or to one of the
bars or wherever, and all the same people are doing
all the same stuff, are in hanging out at the
same places. The only thing that I've seen that is
(04:52):
kind of as different is there was that increase with
all the homelessness, Like there was homeless and care it
mints everywhere, yeah everywhere.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Were you done around like the LA area, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I just I noticed, like just it seemed a little quieter,
and that that fast food thing where they like minimum
twenty or an hour thing, like it made it a
very like fast food places when you were driving by,
(05:25):
like on the freeway or even if you're trying to
hit a drive thing, like they just seemed deserted because
they could only afford to have like two people working
at its time. It just it just felt very different
being in California than what I remember.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
So yeah, I think that's also because everything started getting
so pricey. So many people just started leaving California over
the last couple of years. They live they live out
by you, they live out by me. Like everyone just
(05:57):
took off went to Texas, went to Arizona. U. I
know a couple that ended up going to Colorado, but
mainly everyone kind of just took off to Arizona and
Texas and now it's getting jam packed over here, and
you go back to California and you're going, Okay, where
where is everyone?
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yeah? They left to be where it's better. Yeah, so
you did that, You were a recruise around California.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Yeah, this, uh, this birthday was I wasn't looking forward
to the number.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
So I wasn't really because.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
It was the big twenty one.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Yes, that's a hard one.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Yep, it's a hard one.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
I know.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
You got some piercings.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Oh, yes, so.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I I already wasn't. I already wasn't looking forward to
the birthday. So my tattoo artists actually recently up and
moved to Georgia. So I kind of been feeling like
I'm having a bit of a midlife crisis at the moment.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Yes, So I ended up.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Going and getting my nose pierced, and I haven't had
a piercing since I got my tongue pierced eighteen years ago.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
There we go, just for the red. Now, Danielle, you've
got piercings too, You have no yet your ears aren't pierced.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
They are, but I'm allergic to everything silver, so I
just don't put anything in.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Oh, okay, but well, I guess I'm what I was
getting as like you guys have had piercings, right like.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
I had my belly button.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
That's see, I've I don't have piercings. Just for the record,
all right, I know people were wondering, but I don't.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
What is Bobby does?
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Oh? I know, I know that's some of my favorite
behind the scenes action. If you're I'm saying, I guess
I don't understand them. What do they? I get what
there for? I get there like cosmetic or whatever, But like,
how does that make you feel better?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
You know?
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Peas the mental health gods. It's same as a tattoo
or dyeing your hair.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Yeah, that's what I get.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
The dying.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
I have, Dude, there's a lot of things you were
than the therapist right now. I have tattoos. I get,
dyeing the hair, I get, you know, changing that stuff.
But like I've never understood, like piercing, I've never understood,
Like that's like some to me. I'm a bitch, that's
some serious like physical pain. To me, I don't understand.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
I'd rather get a piercing than a tattoo. My friends
keep telling me to get my nipples piers and I'm like,
I don't think.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
So, see that would be that would be And just
so everybody knows this show, we've all seen each other's
nipples on this show too, So this is this is
not a sensitive said Jick for us either. That would
be the first thing I would get pierced. If somebody
was like, you absolutely have to have a piercing to
get into heaven or to get a billion dollars like
(09:09):
a nipple, That's where I would go.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Have you seen Bobby since he got he took his
jewelry out, I wouldn't out I have.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Yeah, I've seen a lot of Bobby. No, so you said,
you said a piercing over a tattoo, that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
So I don't know that.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
You don't have the same Are you the same person
I used to know? I don't remember you not having any.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Tattoo tattoos, not one single one.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
I'll look at some pictures and see if I can
find any.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
I literally don't have any.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
I'm gonna look. But why what do you you think
a tattoo hurts more than getting something pierced? Yeah, but
that's not there's.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
You're getting stabbed multiple fucking times and done.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
There's no lasting like effect to that though. There's like
no lasting pain like when you went pale a sword
through your ear lobe and then like you keep putting
hooks and stuff in and out of it.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
It doesn't hurt.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
It doesn't hurt.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Crazy, that's wild.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
You have tattoos and you have piercings. What's yours? So
but you also have you also have like a really
different threshold for pain.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Yeah, yeah, so okay, yeah, I I.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
I have to hit the explicit button on episode Okay, anyway, anyway,
do you think that plays into an effect? What do
you think tattoos or piercings. You think piercings are probably more.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Right, So, like I said, I hadn't had a piercing
in eighteen years, but I have plenty of tattoos that
I've gotten recently. When I went to go get my
nose pierced, I was sitting there and I'm going, oh, wow,
that that actually hurt a lot more than I remember
(11:31):
eighteen years ago having a needle shoved through skin right like.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Through all that nose and cartilage and stuff.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Right yeah, And then honestly, like that, the pain after
like the pain after a tattoo is just kind of
that sunburn feeling.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
But I cannot tell you. I cannot tell you how
many times.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Because I ended up falling asleep and I end up
having my arm up over my forehead, and in my sleep,
my nose patches on my sleeve as I dragged my arm.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Down, dragging the piers That's what I'm saying, that's how
that's w I'm saying. Piercings are way worse than tattoos. Danielle,
we have to get you a tattoo.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
I almost Friday the thirteenth, but I changed my mind
and I died my hair instead.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
You chickened out and went with the hair dye. That's crazy,
it's cheaper. What can I What was the tattoo going
to be? Was it gonna be just one of those
like shotgun Friday the thirteenth, Get what you picked?
Speaker 4 (12:32):
No, it was supposed to be a butterfly, just a
small butterfly.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Yeah, I got one of those.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Another thing is like for me, anytime I've ever been
cut into and they used the surgical steel and stuff
like that for surgery, they always got infected and they reopened.
So if I was to get stabbed, buy needles a
bunch of times, like it could get infected. And that's
why I don't have any piercings anymore, is because they
all got infected.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Any tattoo can get infected.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
But well, yeah, but like I'm more prone to it.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Yeah, I could see that. I could see that. But
I think I think today, I mean, if you're in
the right shop, but most of the technology behind tattoos
these days, with the way they do ink and sterilizing
and everything in the way that they've in the aftercare stuff,
so to hospitals. She's got me there. She's got a
good point.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Yeah, but you're also not going you're not going that deep, Like, yeah,
the needle for a tattoo goes, you know, through several layers,
but you're not going that deep as opposed to gigging
a piercing or getting cut open, not the hospital for
surgeries or whatnot to where.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Mm, she's got me there too. These are good point counterpoints.
I still think you should get a tattoo because they're
bad ass and they're much more fun than piercings.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
I don't have anything you did that way.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
I have a question for you, Mitch, here we go.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Now, did you know that I never had my nose
pierce because the craziest thing when I got it pierced,
I ended up calling my aunt.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
I went to.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Work and I was like, yeah, I got my nose
pierce and they're like, we all thought you had it previously,
Like my family, co workers, everyone thought I had my
nose piers prior.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
I probably would have thought the same thing, crazy because
you're I mean, you're not You're not tatted like you know,
foot to head or anything, but you do have many tattoos,
and I do know you have piercings and you know
here and there. But I would have I would have
probably assumed that you had it before and maybe a
(14:57):
close I think that's one that's that's as common or
more common as ears, is your nose. I see it
on like a lot of people. Yea, And to me
that's what's crazy. I have people that I work with
and they say the same thing, like, oh, I had
to take my nose my nose ring out for X,
Y or Z, and I forgot to put it back in,
so I'm gonna go get it repair. So I'm like,
(15:18):
hold on, you took the thing out and then you
forgot that it was out, and then like the hole
closed up, like you're all heeled up and you're gonna
go pay someone to go put it back in. Well,
you just leave it out at that point. But you
gotta have it. It's part of your things. It's it's
like your.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Thing, it's like your identity that you have attached yourself to.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Yeah, I think a lot of I think a lot
of that comes in the tattoos too. Are you and so, Danielle,
we have to get you a tattoo. I guess we'll
do that this year. But do you, Katie, I know
I have tattoos I have too right now that are
that need work. One used to hold a serious amount
(16:03):
of meaning for me. It does not anymore. And it
is the first one that I'm going to cover up
with something that's going to be even that's probably gonna
have more meaning for me and for the rest of
my life. But and the other one just wasn't finished.
It was done, it was correct, but I feel like
the vision I had for it can still like fully
(16:25):
come through. Do you. I don't know if there's one
particular I'm thinking about, And I don't know if you
want to talk about it, but I don't know if
it was covered up or or not.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
You're talking about the one across my stomach.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
No, that one is still there.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Is it something that you're like, not necessarily cover up,
but like alter to make it a little bit more
because that that, I guess that chapter of your life
would be done now, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Yeah, that one, that one's done.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
You know what's funny is I really don't even It's
kind of like my lower back tattoo because you can't
see it. I forget that I have my lower back tattoo,
and I really I don't even realize or even think
about the one across my stomach until you know, I'm
(17:19):
in a bathing suit or you know, I'm in the
bathroom taking a shower and you see it in the mirror.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Right, But yeah, one day I'd like to get it
covered up.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
I just that's what I mean, Like, not for anyone
else's benefit, because that's the one on my arm too.
I don't see it, and I barely recognize it when
I see it or when I catch it in the
mirror or something like that. But for me, like personally,
for me, I don't want that there anymore. I want
it to be something that has meaning to me. Now,
(17:51):
so I guess would you cover that or change it
or alter it for yourself? Is that part of.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Yeah? At this point.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Originally a couple of years back, I was like, eh,
it was a part of big chapter of my life,
so I'll just leave it.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
But at this point it's not something.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
That I'm racing to go try to.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Get covered up.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
But at some point, if I, you know, have the money,
because everything's so expensive.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Yeah, everything costs money.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
It's try to come up with something that will cover
it up and not look like, oh, hey, just slap
us on.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
I would assume much like anything, if you if you
show an artist what you have and then tell them
I'm trying to make this looks like you know, something
that is neutral, Like can you do that and let
them run with it, I'm sure that they would.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Do.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
What artists do? You know?
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Well, so that's my thing, is my tattoo artist. That
was the first tattoo he did on me, and he
didn't want to do it originally, and I had to
talk him into doing it, and he didn't want to
do that because he didn't he didn't want to do
any names or anything. And he's the one that just
(19:25):
moved to Georgia, but he's done all my other tattoos.
He's the one that I trust, and I really don't
want to go back to him and be like, hey,
you know, ten years ago, you were right.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
It might be time to go to Georgia. Though it
might be that point in your life. Man, go full
circle with that. Yeah, that could be worth it. I
don't know. Well, as we get more into this, I
want to talk, I really do. I want to talk
about what we're going to talk about, because I think
there's three unique perspectives on this. But before we do that,
(19:58):
we're going to take a quick break and listen to
our friends in the podcast world and some commercials wherever
you might be. We'll be right back here on Three's Company.
And we're back, and unlike the other show, everyone here
is wearing pants.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Are you sure you can only see from Oh wait,
maybe no, I got the pants on.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
I got the pants on.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Uh huh, I'm not Bobby.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
I'm not sitting here with no pants.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
That was my concern. Every time we leave for break,
Bobby takes his pants off. I just was making sure
you guys weren't following suit. Okay, so we've been talking
about just kind of different life things in general. But
now getting it you you're talking about the birthday that
you you weren't looking forward to. It was it the
(20:52):
one that had even numbers in it?
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Yes, so, And I'm I'm right behind you. I'm rapidly
approaching that.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Oh no, no, no, no, you're older than me. I
don't think so, yeah you are.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Oh god, So what's the even what's the even number
birthday you're scared of? I thought we were talking about forty?
Speaker 3 (21:15):
No, So now now you're gonna give me a hard time.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Now, all of a sudden, I'm the oldest person in
this room.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
I'm feeling No, it was I turned thirty six, so
here before you.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Oh my god, that's it.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Before you give me a hard time. Now. The way
that I look.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
At it is, I am no longer in my early
to mid thirties. Now I am in my mid to
late thirties. And that's so crushing for me.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Well, that's that's wild, that's wild. You're you're thirty six
years young. I guess I'm the only one rapidly approaching
the big four to oh here, but I guess as
I do. And to your point, I guess because everybody
has age as a thing and not to discuss and
(22:19):
throw everybody's ages and everything out there. But Daniel, you're
much younger than the rest of us. You're probably the
baby of this of this group. You're in what Katie
would call, you're late to extra late twenties. I guess,
I don't. I don't know. Thirty said which would be
which would be her late to extra late twenties. She's
(22:43):
still she's still almost twenty, and she's closer to twenty
one than you are. So there you go. Anyway, So, okay,
this is something that that I guess Bobby and I
have kind of talked about this or we touch on it.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Right.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
We're men of a certain age. And look, for those
of you listening, you don't know who we're talking about.
We're talking about Bobby. Go check out the two guys
in the Dart podcast. You're gonna love it. It's Shenanigan's. Anyway,
we're men of a certain age, and when we get
to that age, there's a lot of things that we
have to consider at this point, right, And so I
think the unique perspective here is that you two are.
(23:22):
I mean, well, you're women, so that's cool.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
But.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
What's your what's your different perspective on that? And So
for me, I'm thirty eight, I'm going to be forty
in the next eighteen months or so, right, Like, how
what do I have to reconcile for me to be
able to be productive for the next twenty years and
then live beyond that? And that's like, what have I
(23:51):
come to realize that I've missed out on or that
I'm not doing or what I want to do? Because
now time's running short. I think Katie, you have a
a unique perspective on this from the lifestyle you used
to live and used to be a part of to
where you are now. And Danielle, you're at thirty, you're
a mother of two, so you've done more adulting. I
(24:12):
guarantee you. I guarantee you, at thirty you have done
more adulting than I have at thirty eight. Trust me,
with your two kids, you've done more than me. So
I guess we're What you were getting at before the
show was that what what is your midlife crisis? What
(24:34):
do you consider a midlife crisis?
Speaker 4 (24:39):
Like an impulsive buy, like going out and buying a
race car or a boat or something that you just
don't need.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
And is that is that something you see yourself doing
like the things.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
I'm going through on right now, because I keep buying
a bunch of like cricket stuff and like stuff to
deal hobbies with.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
So but is that a is that a crisis or
are you trying to Like it's like you're change them.
You're bored and you want.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
To spice stuff up, right, you want to spice.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
It up, So you start doing a podcast and you
buy cricket stuff. Here we go. It's because you're it's
because you're thirty six and that's all we have left
or the spice girls? Is that I don't I don't know.
I guess life is boring altogether. There's there's so many
(25:35):
things that just become the norm. But you're not buying
cricket stuff and and doing a podcast because you're you're
trying to change your entire outlook on life and like
start something all the way over, Like you're trying to
just do more things that make you happy, right yeah, yeah,
So Like I guess the same for the you're talking
(25:58):
about concerts, you're doing a lot of concerts. Yeah, is
that because you missed out on going to a lot
of concerts and you're just trying to make up or
you're actually finding some value in this.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
No, Like I when I lived in la I used
to go to concerts all the time.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
God bless when.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
When when I started going through a rough time in
my life back in twenty eleven, and then I got
married and all of that stuff, and then just working
two to three jobs, and I with this birthday, it
was like, God, I feel like I wasted like most
(26:40):
of my twenties and now I'm halfway through my thirties.
And then it was like I went and saw Avril
Levine in concert, which, by.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
The way, fourteen year old me was so.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Excited because I never got to see Avril Levine, and
so I me and my roommate we went and saw
Avril Levine in June and it was like I felt
like my fourteen year old self, like it was fun.
(27:17):
And then in August, right after we recorded the last episode,
I went and saw Limp Biscuit, and then I went
and saw Marilyn Manson and five Finger Death Punch two
weeks ago, and then I just went to corn a
couple nights ago, and then a couple of weeks I'm
going and seeing Stained and Dawtrey and Breaking Benjamin and
(27:41):
it's like, hold on a.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Second, where where is that concert act? Because somebody else
just told me they were going to that, but they're here.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Yeah, they it's a tour.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
No I get that, but like they're going to a
show in a couple of weeks, not when they're here.
But like the person that was telling me about it
is where I am. Where are you going to see
him at?
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Have you seen them out here? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Oh yeah, well maybe my friends are going to Phoenix
is can I just did you you saw Corn? Like
in the same week that Bobby sent Junior to see Corn?
Speaker 2 (28:18):
He sent them to I thought that was like a
week ago that Junior went and saw because I was
messaging Bobby about it and yeah, I just went Thursday night.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Oh no, I'm sorry. Yeah, Corns, they were there. Slipknot
was the main one that he saw.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Yes, what'snot was I slip Knot was not part of
Corn's concert this time around. I missed the Slipknot concert
that tickets were way too expensive. I'm I'm trying to
live my life being trying to have like.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Yes, yeah, yeah, So I mean I get that, I
get it. It's I guess that's the difference, right, Like
that's what we're trying to I guess talk about here
is that you're you're going back and and like reliving
things that you might have missed, right or that you
(29:18):
feel and that's bringing you into a sense of like
living now. And Daniel, you're starting new hobbies and picking
up new things because you're just you know, you're you're
at a point where like you kind of feel like
the normal is too like too mundane, right, Like it's
so repetitive that you got to do something different to
(29:40):
do to do things. And then me, I think mostly
what drives me is fomo Now. I have a fear
of missing out on all the things that I could
possibly be doing. And that's why I've become like a
Disney Parks person, Like there's so much that goes on
there and it sparks the imagination and it gives me
(30:01):
all these ideas. Like that's the thing. So three very
different mid life crisises, but are they really mid life crisises? Crisis?
Is that a word? I don't know how to say.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
It, but CRISI, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Maybe it is. Yeah, is that what we're dealing with?
You think.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
For me, it's I'm I'm trying to get back to.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
The part of my life where.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
My life pretty much got pretty boring and I stop
doing fun stuff, and so anything that takes me back.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
To feeling like, you know, twenty one year old Katie.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Yeah, so that means getting piercings and going to concerts. Yep, Okay,
it's good to know. And then we just have to
add tattoos to your repertoire. So you'll have crickets and
podcasts and tattoos. You'll be a whole new You'll be
a much different soccer mom than you were at the beginning.
(31:08):
That's for sure. That is for certain. Do you think
there's I mean, I think it's it's the same. I
think everybody's just trying to find their they're happy. I
think you get to a point in life where you've done,
you've done everything you're supposed to. You've got the job,
(31:29):
you've got the you know, whatever your domestic relationship is
or your situation there, you have your you know, your kids,
you have the cars, the house, like you've done everything
society really told you you're supposed to do, and and
you find yourself not lacking or anything like that, but
you just find yourself like not happy because you're not
(31:49):
really supposed to. I don't think I don't think humans
are supposed to chase that rat race stuff. I don't
think we're supposed to chase car payments and mortgages and
stuff like that. Like we're supposed to chase what truly
makes us. And I think you have to get to
a point or a certain age maybe where you realize that.
Some people hit that at like seventy sixty three, some
(32:10):
people hit it like at eighteen. They're like, I'm not
doing none of that shit. I'm just going to live
my life how I want to. And that's how you
get like artists and shit who just travel around in
vans and stuff like that. But is that where you,
guys think you're at, like not necessarily a crisis, but
just at a point where chasing your own happiness means
(32:30):
more than whatever else is on the table. No, No,
So what is it for you then?
Speaker 3 (32:40):
My kids?
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Yeah? But so your kids' happiness is what makes you happy? Right? Yeah?
So I guess it's it's somewhat the same thing. It's
but that's what I mean, Like your version of chasing
your own happiness is making sure that your kids are happy.
Yeah yeah, because you.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
Put them foot Yeah well to see that smile on
their face.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
But is that now that's a different conversation though. Is
that because you weren't spoiled?
Speaker 4 (33:09):
Oh no, I'm spoiled.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Ship, You're just you're just perpetuating the cycle.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
Then I guess I was the only girl like I
was spoiled.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Oh yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 4 (33:20):
I still am.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Yeah that always that always seems to be the case
when there's just the one, the princess status as it were.
I don't know what do you think is it? Is
it more that chasing your own happiness is what's you know,
being a crisis or is it a crisis?
Speaker 4 (33:41):
You know?
Speaker 2 (33:42):
It's it's funny because it's like I end up having
these talks with my dad where you know, he's he's
approaching seventy, he's still working, and he doesn't ever go
out and do anything that you know, camping, anything that
he always used to like to do, and all he
(34:03):
does is complain about, oh I never get to do anything.
I haven't gone and done this in twenty years. So
me turning this age, I'm like, you know, I don't
want to be sixty going, Oh, I really want to
go to this concert, but you know, everything hurts.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
I can't stand.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
At a concert, or I can't do this because of
health reasons. And that's kind of the other thing is
the last year I've been having some up and downs
with different health issues, and it's like, Okay.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
I'm not getting any younger.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
I need to go do stuff that makes me happy
and kind of breaks up the monotony.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Yeah, for sure, It's like it's a warning sign, right,
Like you look at the examples that you have, like
your father, and you go, don't want to end up
like that? So what can I do now to make
sure that I don't? Of course, you know social media
plays a big part of that too, and we have
all these different examples around us. I think that's it, right,
(35:14):
Like you're living your best life for your kids benefit
at this point, to make sure that they understand like
happiness is better. Uh, you're you're you know, there's famous
quotes and stuff, you know, die with memories, not regrets,
that kind of stuff. So like why why be bitter
when you when you are old about things you never did,
(35:37):
or you could, you know, say you did all those
things and that would be a more fulfilling situation. I
kind of see it both ways. I mean, my in
laws are still working well into their later years and
complaining about a lot of that stuff. But then my
parents are retired, but all they do is kind of
(35:59):
I don't I don't see them doing a lot with
their retirement. They are cozy, they're comfy, they're sitting still
a lot. They travel, that's for sure, But I think
you could do way more than that. And that's kind
of where I'm at, Like, I need to live fully
in what makes me happy so that I don't have
(36:21):
a regret or when later on I am sitting back
and relaxing about it, I can reflect on those moments
instead of wondering how I can go do them. So, yeah,
I don't know. I don't know if what we're doing
is truly midlife crisis. I think it's a reevaluation and
I think you're on the right path with that, Katie,
(36:43):
I really do. I think you're I think you've identified
something that worries you as far as like being much
older than thirty six and having regrets. But yeah, I
don't know. I don't think it's a crisis. Well, either
way you look at it, however you look at it,
we looked at it. We've broken it down here on
(37:08):
our thrilling episode, and we've helped them, whoever they might
be out there listening to us, come to terms with
their midlife crisis. And we discovered some fun facts about
Bobby that people might not have known. So that's always
(37:28):
fun too. As we bring it to an end, do
you guys have anything that we need to let anybody
know about that? Is anyone pregnant? I'm not pregnant. I'm
just wondering if anybody else is. No, no surprise, no surprise.
Pregnancy is over here. Everybody is happy and healthy. The
soccer games are almost over. What's next after soccer? Do
(37:51):
you take a break or do you make them play
something else?
Speaker 4 (37:55):
No baseball, but that's.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
Spring spring, so nothing until the spring. They get that
many weeks off. Okay, okay, that's nice part. Yeah, that's
where you get that many weeks off so you don't
have to.
Speaker 4 (38:10):
But I'm still going to, like, I'm still going to
the football games that.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Are going on too, So what like the local high
school ones.
Speaker 4 (38:17):
Yeah, my nephew's in the he's on varsity and he's
a sophomore, so he gets to he plays, So I
go to their games to watch him play.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
That's like some local, small town stuff. For those of
you who don't understand why you would go watch high
school football if you don't have any any kids in
high school. Yeah, that's that's something else. Well, there you go,
living the mom life, doing the small town thing. Katie's
going to concerts and getting new piercings. Can't wait to
(38:47):
see those, I mean, can't wait to hear about those.
And U and I'm doing nothing. I'm just living where
it's hot and it won't rain. For the love of
your moving eventually, you're packing. We're packing, we're moving. We'll
talk about it later. I don't want to talk about
(39:08):
it right. It's it's hard for Bobby to hear about
it because we're so close. He'll be okay, all right,
Well let's uh, let's do the thing with the music
and we'll get sending them out of here. The Threes
Company podcast is part of the b Word Media group
(39:28):
of podcasts. Sorry for the long break, but we're back.
We're doing our thing. Links to all the other shows
are in the description below. Go check them out, especially
if you want to know who Bobby is, you'd want
to check out the two guys in a Dart podcast
and that is every week. We'll be back next time
on a Three's Company podcast. Until then, have a good week,
(39:51):
have a good night. Go get some piercings and some tattoos,
and you know, show us whatever you got in the
inbox and we'll rate it something.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
I don't know, sure, just just on Sunday. Cereal videos, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (40:05):
There shouldn't be. We don't need any videos of what
you're doing with your piercings or or how you're eating
your cereal in that sense. Okay, all right, goodbye everybody,
Anyway, I really, I really am worried about him getting
videos like that with the cereal because I don't think
that's uh, I don't think that's really how he got it.
I think the Internet told him to watch it.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I think he was thinking, oh, hey, what, what's some.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Good cereal recipes?
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Because what's something I haven't tried in a while. I
absolutely love it. It's always fun to have him around.
It's been a few minutes since we've been in here
and got to show out to all these people. What
is new and exciting with you guys? Soccer's all Soccer
(01:07):
is almost over?
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Soccer?
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Oh yeah, that's right?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Is that your?
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Is that the uh? That's all the kids and the
A Y S O s and all that stuff, and
uh yeah, is that It's not as fun as it
as it looks.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
No, it's fun. It's just we were doing it five
days a week. Why because jaj has practiced two days
a week, Garrett has practiced two days a week, and
then they have two games on Saturdays.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Oh are they winning?
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Like?
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Are they on the winning teams?
Speaker 4 (01:39):
JJ actually just finished his last game today. And they're
not supposed to keep score, but the kids for sure
keep score. They were no other team beat them, and
today they were twenty to one.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Twenty. When did the ref shut the game down?
Speaker 3 (01:56):
We didn't.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
It was just the coaches.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
It was just a coach, No reck, When did the
coaches just go that's good enough? Like ten to one,
that's good enough.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
That everybody got minutes early.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
It has been thirty to one if we played the
extra minutes.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
That's because like they're not supposed to keep scoring. That league,
that league is too little. They're just little tiny ones.
Oh but the kids kids get.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
You just let your kids run around and kick balls
at that point. Yeah, just like run energy out of
them and stuff. Yeah, oh okay, well that's good.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
There is on the playoffs. So we just have to
do the playoffs and that'll be the next week.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Is there like a state champion or so? I don't
know how like the little league stuff works.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
No, Derek's in a league up above JJ's so like
they have like actual playoffs and tournaments. So it just
it's eight teams and then four and then two and
then whoever wins.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
And then the winner.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Yeah, So you're out there just living the mom life
you got. You're you're juggling soccer practice. You are a
soccer mom. You call my shirt.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
I have a shirt that's soccer mom.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
There we go, legit soccer mom.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Yeah, between soccer and school.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
I'm loving every soccer school and children. We're going to
talk about this a little bit. We gotta we have
an interesting topic for this episode. But first I was
new with Katie. I amn't. I haven't talked to you
in a minute.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Well, shortly after we last recorded, I had my birthday
and yeah, twenty one.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Happy late birthday, thank you.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
We ended up going to California.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Now you're you're from there though, so you went, Yeah,
you went back to your old stomping grounds. Yeah, since
we're talking about California, I went. I had to be
in California in like April. I was there for like
three or four days, and you just went. Do you notice,
like as as long as you've been away from California, Like,
do you notice a big difference going back to it
(04:19):
with like as far as like prices, the way people
are living, that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Honestly, like back to my stomping ground, it I could
roll up to someone's house or to one of the
bars or wherever, and all the same people are doing
all the same stuff, are in hanging out at the
same places. The only thing that I've seen that is
(04:52):
kind of as different is there was that increase with
all the homelessness, Like there was homeless and care it
mints everywhere, yeah everywhere.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Were you done around like the LA area, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I just I noticed, like just it seemed a little quieter,
and that that fast food thing where they like minimum
twenty or an hour thing, like it made it a
very like fast food places when you were driving by,
(05:25):
like on the freeway or even if you're trying to
hit a drive thing, like they just seemed deserted because
they could only afford to have like two people working
at its time. It just it just felt very different
being in California than what I remember.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
So yeah, I think that's also because everything started getting
so pricey. So many people just started leaving California over
the last couple of years. They live they live out
by you, they live out by me. Like everyone just
(05:57):
took off went to Texas, went to Arizona. U. I
know a couple that ended up going to Colorado, but
mainly everyone kind of just took off to Arizona and
Texas and now it's getting jam packed over here, and
you go back to California and you're going, Okay, where
where is everyone?
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yeah? They left to be where it's better. Yeah, so
you did that, You were a recruise around California.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Yeah, this, uh, this birthday was I wasn't looking forward
to the number.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
So I wasn't really because.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
It was the big twenty one.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Yes, that's a hard one.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Yep, it's a hard one.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
I know.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
You got some piercings.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Oh, yes, so.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I I already wasn't. I already wasn't looking forward to
the birthday. So my tattoo artists actually recently up and
moved to Georgia. So I kind of been feeling like
I'm having a bit of a midlife crisis at the moment.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Yes, So I ended up.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Going and getting my nose pierced, and I haven't had
a piercing since I got my tongue pierced eighteen years ago.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
There we go, just for the red. Now, Danielle, you've
got piercings too, You have no yet your ears aren't pierced.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
They are, but I'm allergic to everything silver, so I
just don't put anything in.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Oh, okay, but well, I guess I'm what I was
getting as like you guys have had piercings, right like.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
I had my belly button.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
That's see, I've I don't have piercings. Just for the record,
all right, I know people were wondering, but I don't.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
What is Bobby does?
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Oh? I know, I know that's some of my favorite
behind the scenes action. If you're I'm saying, I guess
I don't understand them. What do they? I get what
there for? I get there like cosmetic or whatever, But like,
how does that make you feel better?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
You know?
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Peas the mental health gods. It's same as a tattoo
or dyeing your hair.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Yeah, that's what I get.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
The dying.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
I have, Dude, there's a lot of things you were
than the therapist right now. I have tattoos. I get,
dyeing the hair, I get, you know, changing that stuff.
But like I've never understood, like piercing, I've never understood,
Like that's like some to me. I'm a bitch, that's
some serious like physical pain. To me, I don't understand.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
I'd rather get a piercing than a tattoo. My friends
keep telling me to get my nipples piers and I'm like,
I don't think.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
So, see that would be that would be And just
so everybody knows this show, we've all seen each other's
nipples on this show too, So this is this is
not a sensitive said Jick for us either. That would
be the first thing I would get pierced. If somebody
was like, you absolutely have to have a piercing to
get into heaven or to get a billion dollars like
(09:09):
a nipple, That's where I would go.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Have you seen Bobby since he got he took his
jewelry out, I wouldn't out I have.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Yeah, I've seen a lot of Bobby. No, so you said,
you said a piercing over a tattoo, that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
So I don't know that.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
You don't have the same Are you the same person
I used to know? I don't remember you not having any.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Tattoo tattoos, not one single one.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
I'll look at some pictures and see if I can
find any.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
I literally don't have any.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
I'm gonna look. But why what do you you think
a tattoo hurts more than getting something pierced? Yeah, but
that's not there's.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
You're getting stabbed multiple fucking times and done.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
There's no lasting like effect to that though. There's like
no lasting pain like when you went pale a sword
through your ear lobe and then like you keep putting
hooks and stuff in and out of it.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
It doesn't hurt.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
It doesn't hurt.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Crazy, that's wild.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
You have tattoos and you have piercings. What's yours? So
but you also have you also have like a really
different threshold for pain.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Yeah, yeah, so okay, yeah, I I.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
I have to hit the explicit button on episode Okay, anyway, anyway,
do you think that plays into an effect? What do
you think tattoos or piercings. You think piercings are probably more.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Right, So, like I said, I hadn't had a piercing
in eighteen years, but I have plenty of tattoos that
I've gotten recently. When I went to go get my
nose pierced, I was sitting there and I'm going, oh, wow,
that that actually hurt a lot more than I remember
(11:31):
eighteen years ago having a needle shoved through skin right like.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Through all that nose and cartilage and stuff.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Right yeah, And then honestly, like that, the pain after
like the pain after a tattoo is just kind of
that sunburn feeling.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
But I cannot tell you. I cannot tell you how
many times.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Because I ended up falling asleep and I end up
having my arm up over my forehead, and in my sleep,
my nose patches on my sleeve as I dragged my arm.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Down, dragging the piers That's what I'm saying, that's how
that's w I'm saying. Piercings are way worse than tattoos. Danielle,
we have to get you a tattoo.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
I almost Friday the thirteenth, but I changed my mind
and I died my hair instead.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
You chickened out and went with the hair dye. That's crazy,
it's cheaper. What can I What was the tattoo going
to be? Was it gonna be just one of those
like shotgun Friday the thirteenth, Get what you picked?
Speaker 4 (12:32):
No, it was supposed to be a butterfly, just a
small butterfly.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Yeah, I got one of those.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Another thing is like for me, anytime I've ever been
cut into and they used the surgical steel and stuff
like that for surgery, they always got infected and they reopened.
So if I was to get stabbed, buy needles a
bunch of times, like it could get infected. And that's
why I don't have any piercings anymore, is because they
all got infected.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Any tattoo can get infected.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
But well, yeah, but like I'm more prone to it.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Yeah, I could see that. I could see that. But
I think I think today, I mean, if you're in
the right shop, but most of the technology behind tattoos
these days, with the way they do ink and sterilizing
and everything in the way that they've in the aftercare stuff,
so to hospitals. She's got me there. She's got a
good point.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Yeah, but you're also not going you're not going that deep, Like, yeah,
the needle for a tattoo goes, you know, through several layers,
but you're not going that deep as opposed to gigging
a piercing or getting cut open, not the hospital for
surgeries or whatnot to where.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Mm, she's got me there too. These are good point counterpoints.
I still think you should get a tattoo because they're
bad ass and they're much more fun than piercings.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
I don't have anything you did that way.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
I have a question for you, Mitch, here we go.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Now, did you know that I never had my nose
pierce because the craziest thing when I got it pierced,
I ended up calling my aunt.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
I went to.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Work and I was like, yeah, I got my nose
pierce and they're like, we all thought you had it previously,
Like my family, co workers, everyone thought I had my
nose piers prior.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
I probably would have thought the same thing, crazy because
you're I mean, you're not You're not tatted like you know,
foot to head or anything, but you do have many tattoos,
and I do know you have piercings and you know
here and there. But I would have I would have
probably assumed that you had it before and maybe a
(14:57):
close I think that's one that's that's as common or
more common as ears, is your nose. I see it
on like a lot of people. Yea, And to me
that's what's crazy. I have people that I work with
and they say the same thing, like, oh, I had
to take my nose my nose ring out for X,
Y or Z, and I forgot to put it back in,
so I'm gonna go get it repair. So I'm like,
(15:18):
hold on, you took the thing out and then you
forgot that it was out, and then like the hole
closed up, like you're all heeled up and you're gonna
go pay someone to go put it back in. Well,
you just leave it out at that point. But you
gotta have it. It's part of your things. It's it's
like your.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Thing, it's like your identity that you have attached yourself to.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Yeah, I think a lot of I think a lot
of that comes in the tattoos too. Are you and so, Danielle,
we have to get you a tattoo. I guess we'll
do that this year. But do you, Katie, I know
I have tattoos I have too right now that are
that need work. One used to hold a serious amount
(16:03):
of meaning for me. It does not anymore. And it
is the first one that I'm going to cover up
with something that's going to be even that's probably gonna
have more meaning for me and for the rest of
my life. But and the other one just wasn't finished.
It was done, it was correct, but I feel like
the vision I had for it can still like fully
(16:25):
come through. Do you. I don't know if there's one
particular I'm thinking about, And I don't know if you
want to talk about it, but I don't know if
it was covered up or or not.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
You're talking about the one across my stomach.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
No, that one is still there.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Is it something that you're like, not necessarily cover up,
but like alter to make it a little bit more
because that that, I guess that chapter of your life
would be done now, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Yeah, that one, that one's done.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
You know what's funny is I really don't even It's
kind of like my lower back tattoo because you can't
see it. I forget that I have my lower back tattoo,
and I really I don't even realize or even think
about the one across my stomach until you know, I'm
(17:19):
in a bathing suit or you know, I'm in the
bathroom taking a shower and you see it in the mirror.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Right, But yeah, one day I'd like to get it
covered up.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
I just that's what I mean, Like, not for anyone
else's benefit, because that's the one on my arm too.
I don't see it, and I barely recognize it when
I see it or when I catch it in the
mirror or something like that. But for me, like personally,
for me, I don't want that there anymore. I want
it to be something that has meaning to me. Now,
(17:51):
so I guess would you cover that or change it
or alter it for yourself? Is that part of.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Yeah? At this point.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Originally a couple of years back, I was like, eh,
it was a part of big chapter of my life,
so I'll just leave it.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
But at this point it's not something.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
That I'm racing to go try to.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Get covered up.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
But at some point, if I, you know, have the money,
because everything's so expensive.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Yeah, everything costs money.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
It's try to come up with something that will cover
it up and not look like, oh, hey, just slap
us on.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
I would assume much like anything, if you if you
show an artist what you have and then tell them
I'm trying to make this looks like you know, something
that is neutral, Like can you do that and let
them run with it, I'm sure that they would.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Do.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
What artists do? You know?
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Well, so that's my thing, is my tattoo artist. That
was the first tattoo he did on me, and he
didn't want to do it originally, and I had to
talk him into doing it, and he didn't want to
do that because he didn't he didn't want to do
any names or anything. And he's the one that just
(19:25):
moved to Georgia, but he's done all my other tattoos.
He's the one that I trust, and I really don't
want to go back to him and be like, hey,
you know, ten years ago, you were right.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
It might be time to go to Georgia. Though it
might be that point in your life. Man, go full
circle with that. Yeah, that could be worth it. I
don't know. Well, as we get more into this, I
want to talk, I really do. I want to talk
about what we're going to talk about, because I think
there's three unique perspectives on this. But before we do that,
(19:58):
we're going to take a quick break and listen to
our friends in the podcast world and some commercials wherever
you might be. We'll be right back here on Three's Company.
And we're back, and unlike the other show, everyone here
is wearing pants.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Are you sure you can only see from Oh wait,
maybe no, I got the pants on.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
I got the pants on.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Uh huh, I'm not Bobby.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
I'm not sitting here with no pants.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
That was my concern. Every time we leave for break,
Bobby takes his pants off. I just was making sure
you guys weren't following suit. Okay, so we've been talking
about just kind of different life things in general. But
now getting it you you're talking about the birthday that
you you weren't looking forward to. It was it the
(20:52):
one that had even numbers in it?
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Yes, so, And I'm I'm right behind you. I'm rapidly
approaching that.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Oh no, no, no, no, you're older than me. I
don't think so, yeah you are.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Oh god, So what's the even what's the even number
birthday you're scared of? I thought we were talking about forty?
Speaker 3 (21:15):
No, So now now you're gonna give me a hard time.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Now, all of a sudden, I'm the oldest person in
this room.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
I'm feeling No, it was I turned thirty six, so
here before you.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Oh my god, that's it.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Before you give me a hard time. Now. The way
that I look.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
At it is, I am no longer in my early
to mid thirties. Now I am in my mid to
late thirties. And that's so crushing for me.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Well, that's that's wild, that's wild. You're you're thirty six
years young. I guess I'm the only one rapidly approaching
the big four to oh here, but I guess as
I do. And to your point, I guess because everybody
has age as a thing and not to discuss and
(22:19):
throw everybody's ages and everything out there. But Daniel, you're
much younger than the rest of us. You're probably the
baby of this of this group. You're in what Katie
would call, you're late to extra late twenties. I guess,
I don't. I don't know. Thirty said which would be
which would be her late to extra late twenties. She's
(22:43):
still she's still almost twenty, and she's closer to twenty
one than you are. So there you go. Anyway, So, okay,
this is something that that I guess Bobby and I
have kind of talked about this or we touch on it.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Right.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
We're men of a certain age. And look, for those
of you listening, you don't know who we're talking about.
We're talking about Bobby. Go check out the two guys
in the Dart podcast. You're gonna love it. It's Shenanigan's. Anyway,
we're men of a certain age, and when we get
to that age, there's a lot of things that we
have to consider at this point, right, And so I
think the unique perspective here is that you two are.
(23:22):
I mean, well, you're women, so that's cool.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
But.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
What's your what's your different perspective on that? And So
for me, I'm thirty eight, I'm going to be forty
in the next eighteen months or so, right, Like, how
what do I have to reconcile for me to be
able to be productive for the next twenty years and
then live beyond that? And that's like, what have I
(23:51):
come to realize that I've missed out on or that
I'm not doing or what I want to do? Because
now time's running short. I think Katie, you have a
a unique perspective on this from the lifestyle you used
to live and used to be a part of to
where you are now. And Danielle, you're at thirty, you're
a mother of two, so you've done more adulting. I
(24:12):
guarantee you. I guarantee you, at thirty you have done
more adulting than I have at thirty eight. Trust me,
with your two kids, you've done more than me. So
I guess we're What you were getting at before the
show was that what what is your midlife crisis? What
(24:34):
do you consider a midlife crisis?
Speaker 4 (24:39):
Like an impulsive buy, like going out and buying a
race car or a boat or something that you just
don't need.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
And is that is that something you see yourself doing
like the things.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
I'm going through on right now, because I keep buying
a bunch of like cricket stuff and like stuff to
deal hobbies with.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
So but is that a is that a crisis or
are you trying to Like it's like you're change them.
You're bored and you want.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
To spice stuff up, right, you want to spice.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
It up, So you start doing a podcast and you
buy cricket stuff. Here we go. It's because you're it's
because you're thirty six and that's all we have left
or the spice girls? Is that I don't I don't know.
I guess life is boring altogether. There's there's so many
(25:35):
things that just become the norm. But you're not buying
cricket stuff and and doing a podcast because you're you're
trying to change your entire outlook on life and like
start something all the way over, Like you're trying to
just do more things that make you happy, right yeah, yeah,
So Like I guess the same for the you're talking
(25:58):
about concerts, you're doing a lot of concerts. Yeah, is
that because you missed out on going to a lot
of concerts and you're just trying to make up or
you're actually finding some value in this.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
No, Like I when I lived in la I used
to go to concerts all the time.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
God bless when.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
When when I started going through a rough time in
my life back in twenty eleven, and then I got
married and all of that stuff, and then just working
two to three jobs, and I with this birthday, it
was like, God, I feel like I wasted like most
(26:40):
of my twenties and now I'm halfway through my thirties.
And then it was like I went and saw Avril
Levine in concert, which, by.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
The way, fourteen year old me was so.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Excited because I never got to see Avril Levine, and
so I me and my roommate we went and saw
Avril Levine in June and it was like I felt
like my fourteen year old self, like it was fun.
(27:17):
And then in August, right after we recorded the last episode,
I went and saw Limp Biscuit, and then I went
and saw Marilyn Manson and five Finger Death Punch two
weeks ago, and then I just went to corn a
couple nights ago, and then a couple of weeks I'm
going and seeing Stained and Dawtrey and Breaking Benjamin and
(27:41):
it's like, hold on a.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Second, where where is that concert act? Because somebody else
just told me they were going to that, but they're here.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Yeah, they it's a tour.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
No I get that, but like they're going to a
show in a couple of weeks, not when they're here.
But like the person that was telling me about it
is where I am. Where are you going to see
him at?
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Have you seen them out here? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Oh yeah, well maybe my friends are going to Phoenix
is can I just did you you saw Corn? Like
in the same week that Bobby sent Junior to see Corn?
Speaker 2 (28:18):
He sent them to I thought that was like a
week ago that Junior went and saw because I was
messaging Bobby about it and yeah, I just went Thursday night.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Oh no, I'm sorry. Yeah, Corns, they were there. Slipknot
was the main one that he saw.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Yes, what'snot was I slip Knot was not part of
Corn's concert this time around. I missed the Slipknot concert
that tickets were way too expensive. I'm I'm trying to
live my life being trying to have like.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Yes, yeah, yeah, So I mean I get that, I
get it. It's I guess that's the difference, right, Like
that's what we're trying to I guess talk about here
is that you're you're going back and and like reliving
things that you might have missed, right or that you
(29:18):
feel and that's bringing you into a sense of like
living now. And Daniel, you're starting new hobbies and picking
up new things because you're just you know, you're you're
at a point where like you kind of feel like
the normal is too like too mundane, right, Like it's
so repetitive that you got to do something different to
(29:40):
do to do things. And then me, I think mostly
what drives me is fomo Now. I have a fear
of missing out on all the things that I could
possibly be doing. And that's why I've become like a
Disney Parks person, Like there's so much that goes on
there and it sparks the imagination and it gives me
(30:01):
all these ideas. Like that's the thing. So three very
different mid life crisises, but are they really mid life crisises? Crisis?
Is that a word? I don't know how to say.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
It, but CRISI, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Maybe it is. Yeah, is that what we're dealing with?
You think.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
For me, it's I'm I'm trying to get back to.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
The part of my life where.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
My life pretty much got pretty boring and I stop
doing fun stuff, and so anything that takes me back.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
To feeling like, you know, twenty one year old Katie.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Yeah, so that means getting piercings and going to concerts. Yep, Okay,
it's good to know. And then we just have to
add tattoos to your repertoire. So you'll have crickets and
podcasts and tattoos. You'll be a whole new You'll be
a much different soccer mom than you were at the beginning.
(31:08):
That's for sure. That is for certain. Do you think
there's I mean, I think it's it's the same. I
think everybody's just trying to find their they're happy. I
think you get to a point in life where you've done,
you've done everything you're supposed to. You've got the job,
(31:29):
you've got the you know, whatever your domestic relationship is
or your situation there, you have your you know, your kids,
you have the cars, the house, like you've done everything
society really told you you're supposed to do, and and
you find yourself not lacking or anything like that, but
you just find yourself like not happy because you're not
(31:49):
really supposed to. I don't think I don't think humans
are supposed to chase that rat race stuff. I don't
think we're supposed to chase car payments and mortgages and
stuff like that. Like we're supposed to chase what truly
makes us. And I think you have to get to
a point or a certain age maybe where you realize that.
Some people hit that at like seventy sixty three, some
(32:10):
people hit it like at eighteen. They're like, I'm not
doing none of that shit. I'm just going to live
my life how I want to. And that's how you
get like artists and shit who just travel around in
vans and stuff like that. But is that where you,
guys think you're at, like not necessarily a crisis, but
just at a point where chasing your own happiness means
(32:30):
more than whatever else is on the table. No, No,
So what is it for you then?
Speaker 3 (32:40):
My kids?
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Yeah? But so your kids' happiness is what makes you happy? Right? Yeah?
So I guess it's it's somewhat the same thing. It's
but that's what I mean, Like your version of chasing
your own happiness is making sure that your kids are happy.
Yeah yeah, because you.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
Put them foot Yeah well to see that smile on
their face.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
But is that now that's a different conversation though. Is
that because you weren't spoiled?
Speaker 4 (33:09):
Oh no, I'm spoiled.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Ship, You're just you're just perpetuating the cycle.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
Then I guess I was the only girl like I
was spoiled.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Oh yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 4 (33:20):
I still am.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Yeah that always that always seems to be the case
when there's just the one, the princess status as it were.
I don't know what do you think is it? Is
it more that chasing your own happiness is what's you know,
being a crisis or is it a crisis?
Speaker 4 (33:41):
You know?
Speaker 2 (33:42):
It's it's funny because it's like I end up having
these talks with my dad where you know, he's he's
approaching seventy, he's still working, and he doesn't ever go
out and do anything that you know, camping, anything that
he always used to like to do, and all he
(34:03):
does is complain about, oh I never get to do anything.
I haven't gone and done this in twenty years. So
me turning this age, I'm like, you know, I don't
want to be sixty going, Oh, I really want to
go to this concert, but you know, everything hurts.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
I can't stand.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
At a concert, or I can't do this because of
health reasons. And that's kind of the other thing is
the last year I've been having some up and downs
with different health issues, and it's like, Okay.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
I'm not getting any younger.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
I need to go do stuff that makes me happy
and kind of breaks up the monotony.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Yeah, for sure, It's like it's a warning sign, right,
Like you look at the examples that you have, like
your father, and you go, don't want to end up
like that? So what can I do now to make
sure that I don't? Of course, you know social media
plays a big part of that too, and we have
all these different examples around us. I think that's it, right,
(35:14):
Like you're living your best life for your kids benefit
at this point, to make sure that they understand like
happiness is better. Uh, you're you're you know, there's famous
quotes and stuff, you know, die with memories, not regrets,
that kind of stuff. So like why why be bitter
when you when you are old about things you never did,
(35:37):
or you could, you know, say you did all those
things and that would be a more fulfilling situation. I
kind of see it both ways. I mean, my in
laws are still working well into their later years and
complaining about a lot of that stuff. But then my
parents are retired, but all they do is kind of
(35:59):
I don't I don't see them doing a lot with
their retirement. They are cozy, they're comfy, they're sitting still
a lot. They travel, that's for sure, But I think
you could do way more than that. And that's kind
of where I'm at, Like, I need to live fully
in what makes me happy so that I don't have
(36:21):
a regret or when later on I am sitting back
and relaxing about it, I can reflect on those moments
instead of wondering how I can go do them. So, yeah,
I don't know. I don't know if what we're doing
is truly midlife crisis. I think it's a reevaluation and
I think you're on the right path with that, Katie,
(36:43):
I really do. I think you're I think you've identified
something that worries you as far as like being much
older than thirty six and having regrets. But yeah, I
don't know. I don't think it's a crisis. Well, either
way you look at it, however you look at it,
we looked at it. We've broken it down here on
(37:08):
our thrilling episode, and we've helped them, whoever they might
be out there listening to us, come to terms with
their midlife crisis. And we discovered some fun facts about
Bobby that people might not have known. So that's always
(37:28):
fun too. As we bring it to an end, do
you guys have anything that we need to let anybody
know about that? Is anyone pregnant? I'm not pregnant. I'm
just wondering if anybody else is. No, no surprise, no surprise.
Pregnancy is over here. Everybody is happy and healthy. The
soccer games are almost over. What's next after soccer? Do
(37:51):
you take a break or do you make them play
something else?
Speaker 4 (37:55):
No baseball, but that's.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
Spring spring, so nothing until the spring. They get that
many weeks off. Okay, okay, that's nice part. Yeah, that's
where you get that many weeks off so you don't
have to.
Speaker 4 (38:10):
But I'm still going to, like, I'm still going to
the football games that.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Are going on too, So what like the local high
school ones.
Speaker 4 (38:17):
Yeah, my nephew's in the he's on varsity and he's
a sophomore, so he gets to he plays, So I
go to their games to watch him play.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
That's like some local, small town stuff. For those of
you who don't understand why you would go watch high
school football if you don't have any any kids in
high school. Yeah, that's that's something else. Well, there you go,
living the mom life, doing the small town thing. Katie's
going to concerts and getting new piercings. Can't wait to
(38:47):
