Amy and Kat kick things off with a viral Thanksgiving game idea they saw going viral. They would like to work-shop the game a little, so maybe you have an idea on how to make the game more mysterious.
They share two emails. One from a listener, Amy, asking about why we have to give the therapy disclaimer at the start of couch talks episodes and how Kat changed her life after sharing she doesn’t wear underwear with her leggings. The second email is from ‘E in Boston’ and she is curious on thoughts on a vanity license plate idea that gives a nod to our show closing “have the day you need to have.”
And don’t miss Stevenson’s upcoming 10-mile run this Saturday, 11/29, to raise funds for a special Christmas for the kids at the Haitian orphanage he once lived in. You can support his run by pledging a donation per mile…every dollar counts!! All funds go directly to the orphanage through TEEMHaiti (a 501c3) and you can donate through their Venmo or PayPal.

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Good.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
All right, break it down.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
If you ever have feelings that you just fons Amy
and Cat gotcha covin locking a brother, Ladies and folks,
do you just follow an the spirit where it's all
the front over real stuff, tell the chill stuff and
the m but Swayne, sometimes the best thing you can
do it jes stop you feel things. This is Feeling Things.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
With Amy and Cat. Happy Thursday. Oh I guess I
should say Happy Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
Happy Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
This is Couch Talks the Q and a episode of
our Feeling Things podcast. I'm Amy and I'm Kat.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
And quick disclaimer before we get into the episode that
although usually we give some feedback to some emails from
listeners and voicemails, this podcast does not serve as a
replacement for therapy.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
We are mental health minded though, yes we are, and
we have an email about your disclaimer.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Yes we do.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I'm gonna get to in a little bit, which will
I mean, it's a valid question. I think I would
feel the same way if I was a listener. So
we'll get to that person's email here in a sec.
But since it is Thanksgiving, in case people are road
tripping somewhere right now, or they're planning for something later
in the day, and they're like, sure would be fun
(01:17):
to have an activity. I saw my friends Polly and Reagan.
Their handle is at nextdoor Life. They posted on Instagram
a friends giving that they had and they played the
viral game where you put a bunch of random ideas
in a bowl and they're on a piece of paper
and when people walk in the door, they draw one
of the things and they have to complete their task
(01:39):
by the end of the meal. And so you could
draw anything from hugging every guest, like you have to
walk around and hug every single person, which I could
be awkward, especially if you do some people there aren't huggers.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
I was thinking, like friendsgiving, you might not know everybody too.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Yeah, Or if you're at a family thing today, you
maybe don't know everybody. Like I'm going to a thing
at my boyfriend's parents' house and they're inviting some people
from their work and other friends that don't have anywhere
to go. There's for sure people that I will not
know there.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
And I'm like, time my dad hug Yeah, my dad
in mighted his banker one time, so that would be like, yeah,
I don't know you, but well, I guess I could.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Be like, nice to meet you. I can make it work.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Yeah, like I'm a hugger.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Yeah, my mom's like, no, you're not.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
So here are some of the things that you can
put in the bowl. Get everyone to say the pledge
of allegiance after the blessing. So like you if you
get to sign that task, like the blessing is said,
and you're like, all right, everybody, I'd like to do
the pledge of allegiance. And some people might be like, oh,
that must have been their task. But some people might
just think that's what you want to do. Like do
you say, like, this is my task? I don't think so. No.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
But also you could play that off because that runs
you have Christmas vacation.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Did they do that on there when the like.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Old aunt Sally I don't remember her name, but she
was supposed to say the blessing and she just said
the pleasure of allegis.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Another one is get everyone outside and find someone to
shotgun a beer with you.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Oh I thought it was everybody has to shotgun the beer.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
So that's so hard. You just have to say, all right,
everybody gather around outside and then you find a partner
and be like, we're gonna shotgun a beer, ok, and
then that's your task. You could also play duck duck goose.
You may be the person that has to put a
napkin on your head and say boom and tell everyone
you're a ghost. I would die if I drew that.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Well, if there's kids around, you could play that off.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
True, find a broom and start a limbo line. Wipe
food off the face of the person to your left
and then turn to the person to your right and
say I'm a baby, feed me google goga.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
That's the worst one by far.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
The next one is tickle four people and yelled tickles.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Also, if there's kids, that's easy to get around. If
it's all adults, that could get weird.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Okay, yeah, you could get away with doing that to kids,
so other people maybe can't.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
I guess like you can't go older man, get.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Like Uncle Larry, he might not be able to go
tickle fingers. Turn off all the lights, like you should
have to go around and turn everything off. Another one
is put several pieces of bread on someone else's plate,
and then another one is stand up and yell. Now
that's Italian four.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Times in a helme that's not Italian at all.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
What's the Thanksgiving meal? So that'd be Oh, that's hard, Okay,
got it. But some people do Italian for Thanksgiving, like
my friend Andrea. Her dad's Italian and he'll make spaghetti
and meatballs.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
I wish we did that.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Thu is thing.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Yeah, Thanksgiving food is not my favorite, so I would
rather Italian food.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
I know, when my kids came to America from Haiti,
we like their first things were like, you're gonna love this.
This is so great. I mean, I love the stuffing
and the candied yams and the pie. I'm not a
big on the turkey, but I can get down on
some stuffing dressing situation and they hate it. They oh,
they're like this is terrible. Yeah, it's not their thing.
(05:05):
They're like, can we have some rice and beans? I'm like, yeah,
sure sure.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
So I would like some feedback on this game, if
anybody listening has an idea, because I love this and
I think this is so funny. I think it would
be funnier, more fun if people didn't know that, like
you had a task, because then you'd be like, what's
up with Susan?
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Yeah? Like why is she saying? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (05:31):
You're agreeing like that's her task.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
So I don't know if there's a way to do
this where like you only give certain people tests and
only certain people know.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I don't know, or like as the host, do you assign.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
And not tell people that other people have tasks?
Speaker 2 (05:45):
But then it's like if you get a task, you're
probably like, oh, other people have a task.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
I'm with you, Like.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
There is a how do you make it a little
more mysterious of what is going on at this party?
Like why why is everyone acting a little off? Yeah?
But also it's keeping things interesting because yeah, maybe some
people want to do this come Christmas. If a caller
or a listener or an emailer, whatever you are, if
(06:11):
y'all have any ways to make this a little more mysterious,
I like that word for it, mysterious.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Also is there a price?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Because if I feel like what the most like whoever
has to the goo goo gaga thing that doesn't bother
me as much as the napkin on the head?
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Well, I'm thinking if I am not close with the
person that's sitting next to me and I have to
wipe his face, and then what if the person or
like what if I'm not close to the person that
I have to say Google gotta got to that is.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
I would just be like, I'm not doing this.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
You know, well I can't shotgunna beer. But I would
go out there and try.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Yeah, but that's people aren't gonna be like she's a weirdo.
What's wrong with that?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
People are like, come on, everybody, let's go outside, watch
me shotgunn of beer. And then you have no idea
what you're doing. Yeah, I don't know, so we'll figure
it out.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Maybe we can work shop it.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Let's work shop it. But if you are traveling, stay safe.
We have plenty of episodes to keep you company. Say
you got a four hour drive, two hour drive, Yeah,
you can get in a lot of feeling things episodes.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Yeah, for sure. You could go to the beginning. When
we first started, our episodes were like two hours long.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
You go back to April of this year and you
can start there.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
Do you do anything special like Thanksgiving morning?
Speaker 2 (07:27):
We don't in the morning, No, I mean Christmas morning.
We obviously have things, but we're doing it the Boulevard bolts,
but this is only my second year in Austin. Sometimes
we would do the Turkey trot, but my boyfriend's family.
They always do this one particular race, so we have
signed up. It's five miles crazy, but we're walking. My
son's gonna run.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Yeah, of course.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
If people are listening to this on Thursday morning, that's
exactly what I'm doing at this moment walking. I'm walking
right now, like I'm here recording right now. But when
you're listening to this.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
And be walking, go amy.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
And some people dress up fun like maybe i'all wear
fun socks.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Do you dress cozy or cute to Thanksgiving dinner? Do
you cute?
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Because dinner at his dad's they dress up like his
dad will have on a sports coat and slack. His
stepmomu ad dress because it's a five PM.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Well, so okay, so I'm doing something different this year.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
What are you doing? Jammies? No?
Speaker 4 (08:23):
I usually wear swat pants. I won.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
I always have wished that somebody would run like a
turkey trot with me. This is not the year because
I haven't run in like two years. I used to
run all the time.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Well, on Saturday, you can run with Stevens and we'll
talk more about that in a minute.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
But I could walk.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Can you run one mile?
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Difficultly okay, but I've been really getting really into walking.
But regardless, one year, I tried to get my family
to do like an obstacle course with me Thanks Gaving morning,
and nobody was into it.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
So like a workout obstacle course like when you made up,
or like a workout.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
One that I made out I was I wanted to
do like flip and tires.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
I wanted to make it it was like exercise but
also fun, like there are challenges and like we split
up into teams. So I made this thing up and
then everybody was like, I don't want to do it,
So then nobody did it.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
But I think I've talked about this with you before.
Maybe not.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
There was a neighborhood or there was a house in
our at the top of our neighborhood.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
And they all did.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Their own like little Thanksgiving turkey trot, and they will
have like ribbons at the front of our neighborhood that
they're like family will run through as their finish line.
And I'm like, guys, that could be us, And then
my family is like, but we don't want it to be.
So yeah, anyway, that's not important. One day, maybe I'll
get my kids to do that with you. Yeah, if
(09:44):
they want to, they probably won't. Anyway, I always dress
super casually too, or like jeans and a sweater, or
just don't. We don't dress up up or I don't.
But this year I got like a cute outfit. I
got some silk pants.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Oh, so you're going elevated.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
I'm going to elevate. I have a monochromatic look.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Chocolate brown, no wine, oh nice? Burgundy?
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Yes? And burgundy and chocolate brown are the colors of
the season.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Okay, really I should have done chocolate brown. I think
I would have liked that more.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
No, I love that you're doing. You're doing wine.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Wine felt Thanksgiving to me. Yeah, anyway, I'll let you
know how it goes. I like being comfortable on Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Those silk pants are perfect.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
Yes, they're stretchy. When I say silk, I mean polyester.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
But oh well whatever, yeah yeah, and then like a
sweater and a baggy.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Sweater so it's still yeah cozy. But I think I'm
gonna wear like some kind.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Of heel ooh, a little kitten heel.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
A boot with it, a little heel, yeah, a boot with
a little Yeah. So I'll let you know how it goes.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
I normally would like to be a little more comfortable,
but I'm trying to be more adult this year.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
At the time that we're recording this, I have no
idea what I'm wearing, but obviously I will have it
figured out.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
Maybe you'll wear brown celt pants.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
I think I'm down for the monochromatic look, like I
might wear brown. I have a brown leather skirt, but
I wore it last year to their dinner. But I
think I'm probably just gonna wear it again with a
different top skirt. It's a longer it's a long leather
brown stop.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Okay, I was gonna say, sure, is not. I need
to be able to Like, if.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
I wore short, i'd wear hose, pantyhose stocking stockings. What
if people call them pantyhose.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
Pantyhose stockings, tights tights?
Speaker 2 (11:28):
That feels more appropriate. Yeah, it is interesting, like some people, yeah,
dress up casual whatever, they're more of the But a
sport coat that's evening dress up type, which is fine,
Like it's fun. I don't have to do anything. Really.
I am taking my family's mac and cheese recipe, which
my sister and I named years ago. Alabama Mac and
(11:48):
Cheese sho. We put it in our newsletter. If y'all
are subscribed, you got it. If not, then subscribe and
next year you never know what you're gonna get. But
I had also posted on my Instagram or if you
have an old gratitude journal of ours, that's in the
back of that. There's so many ways that I've shared
over the years. My sister and I originally had it
(12:09):
in our cooking blog that we had together called one
plum Tree. I think that WordPress is still available in
one plumtree dot com. But it's Alabama Mac Andcheese Show,
and it's so good, and that is my contribution. But
his parents were taking care of the rest, and I
did say I'll make the mac and cheese, which I did,
and I will make pecan pi that I ended up buying.
(12:31):
I went to the store with all the ingredients for
the mac and cheese and the pocan pi and I
started walking around collecting everything and I was able to
successfully get everything I needed for the mac and cheese,
and then by the time I got to the pecan
pi recipe, I was already overwhelmed. And then I walked
by and it was almost like a gift from above.
(13:00):
And it was almost like a gift from above, like
the Lord was saying, here are these pecan pies already
baked and ready to go for you. And they looked
so pretty, and it was a Trader Joe's. It was like,
these must be good. So I put them in my basket,
and now I will be arriving with store bought pecan pie.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Okay, I find it interesting that you went to Treader
Joe's to buy ingredients for a recipe.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Yeah, it was on the on the whim. Okay, okay,
it's on the whim. I was on a whim. I
was you know where it is in Green Hills. I
was driving by and I thought, oh, shoot, I'm just
going to turn in here real quick.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Which is the parking I was going to say, that's
the worst lace to turn in real quick.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Once I turned in, I was like, too late. Now
I'm here and I'm stuck, so I might as well
park because this parking lot is terrible, and I'm just
going to go in. And they actually had everything I needed, shockingly,
because the cheese they had the cheese and the it's
just three different kinds of cheeses. Elbow mac and cheese
(14:05):
milk half in half. Okay, So I mean they had
Trader Joe's does have a good cheese collection. Yeah, but
pocan Pi Yeah, it's got which probably that's pretty simple.
It's like sugar pecans pie crusts. But I still was overwhelmed.
So I was like, I'm out of here.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
Well, good for you for knowing what you needed.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Yeah, I'm having the Thanksgiving that I need to have.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
I also would have been overwhelmed if I went to
that Trader joe So first mistake.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Yeah, which speaking of having the day you need to
have or having the holiday you need to have. Also
in our newsletter, we dropped our crew neck our sweatshirt
because we got feedback. We put half the Day you
need to Have on a T shirt, which was the
most popular item of our merch, so many requests for
it to be on a sweatshirt. Just a simple crew neck.
No hood because we have the other hoodie set or
(14:51):
a hoodie with matching joggers. You can either get both
or individual, so asking you shall receive. So we put
up a crew neck and it's a monochromatic. You're right,
it's like a I don't know how to describe it,
not like a light light, not a baby blue, but
almost like a denim color blue with navy blue letters.
And it says feeling things on the front and how
(15:11):
the do you need to have on the back? So
thank you for sharing with us that thoughts, which I want.
So we loaded it up there and put it at
Everything's like a Black Friday fun sale.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Yeah, because we're open to feedback.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
And speaking of feedback, do you want to read the
email or.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Are you ready for me? Do you want me to
read it? Because it's about you kind of.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
Yeah, I feel like you're better at reading than me.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Really, you have like a reading voice I do.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Yeah, it's because you have to do it a lot
at work. I don't know. Well, that's not the voice
you use.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Hello, Amy and Kat. Okay, here's the email. This is
from Oh another Amy, we're twins? Is that?
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Oh, don't ask what you're about to have?
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Wisconsin?
Speaker 4 (15:54):
What else would it be?
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Okay, Yoming? But that would be why?
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Yeah? Okay, Sorry that was rude.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
I'm sorry that you gave me a confliment and then
you lifted me up and then you shot me down. Sorry,
You're like, what are you a moron? Would you think
that that? What'd you think that that's the only state
with a w And because does does Wyoming have a
w NN? I?
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Yes, yes, it is valid question. I take it.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
And does Wisconsin have a w N?
Speaker 4 (16:20):
And I yes it does.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Okay, And you know what, I probably couldn't tell you
every state's initials or abbreviations.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
So that was judgmental. And I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
And because I'm open to feedback, I will receive that,
and I will also receive this email.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
It's okay, I get it. We can poke, we can
We're cool, We're so funny. We're so fun Hey, Amy
and Kat, longtime listener, and I love your show. I
have one piece of feedback before I go into how
Amy was cracking me up and how Kat blew my
mind on the Couch Talks episodes. Please stop saying the
this is not therapy line unless you're legally obligated to.
(16:56):
Can you put it in the show notes instead? For
those of us that listen every week, it's redundant and
in my opinion, doesn't seem necessary. It seems like you're
saying something over and over to what may impact point
zero zero zero one percent of the population. If that
probably point zero zero, the one of like listeners population
(17:16):
our listeners. It is not the entire Okay, okay, Amy,
do you know the original slang meaning behind roll dogging.
I was cracking up at that whole segment and kat omg.
I never thought of wearing leggings without underwear. Game changer.
It is so uncomfortable with underwear when working out. Love
you guys, thanks for what you bring us each week.
From another Amy in Wisconsin, Land of the Cheese. Yeah,
(17:41):
just like Trader Joe's.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
Yeah, speaking of cheese.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
So one, you're the one that says we have to
say and I don't know because that's your licensed therapist.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
Yes, well we agree with you. It is annoin probably. Yes,
it's redundant.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
It's quick, though we can try to say it faster.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Yeah, we can try to get through it faster. And
normally I think it really is amant. Like this episode,
we're not really giving feedback really to we're taking feedback
more than we're giving it. But because I am a
licensed therapist and I am in practice legally, yes, I
need to give a disclaimer so somebody does not take
feedback we give and then I mean you never know
(18:17):
what can happen, and somebody could always take this feedback
and use it as actual therapeutic advice. So I have
to just cover what is it they say, dot your
Oh you.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Don't know that.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
You don't know that word? Do you know how to write?
Because it's dot your eyes, crossed your teas?
Speaker 4 (18:34):
I have to do all the right things.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
And I was given that feedback by a lawyer back
in the day when I was doing You Need Therapy,
which it was way more applicable to that podcast because
I've always kind of in that realm, mental health realm.
Here we're mental health adjacent, but I just want to
be careful, So thank you for the feedback. I agree,
we'll try to get through it faster, and I love.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
That I helped you out.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
In the underwear department, I find it wild when people
are wearing more so when people are wearing the skimpy
kind of underwear.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
I don't know why I feel like I shouldn't say it.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
This is it because you're a practicing therapist. You don't
want to say the word song, which it feels weird
to say that. I don't know that's what I wear.
And I'm totally fun with it and I love it
and there's no way you're going to catch me ever
working out without underwear. End of story. Well, y'all are crazy?
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Are you afraid?
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Like?
Speaker 4 (19:23):
What if your leggings ripped?
Speaker 2 (19:25):
No? I like underwear?
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Okay, well that's all right.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Yeah, I like it.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
You do you and Amy from Wisconsin will do us?
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Yeah? And Amy also, Yes, I think roll dogging can
have lots of meanings. But I do know like that
meaning that you're talking.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
About speaking of me being a professional. And we'll leave
it at that.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Since kat is a practication, why do you have to
let us know this isn't therapy?
Speaker 1 (19:51):
And when you're talking about wearing underwear when you're working
out and raw doggy?
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Now, this next email or can I say her name?
Wasn't there an email we were talking about where it
says they didn't want to say the name.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
Yeah, and since we don't know, maybe you should this.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
One seems fine, But let's just call her E from Boston, okay,
because I don't know. It might have been another email
you were going over it where they were like, oh,
I don't want my name, which we definitely try to
respect y'all on that because you never know what you're
gonna say and who's listening? Hi, Amy and Kat. I
often have so many random things I want to share
with you as I listen to your podcast, but of
(20:27):
course I don't write them down and can't recall them now.
Undiagnosed ADHD, menopause and mom of two. So you know,
big fan just bought your merch hoodie and can't wait
to wear it. You bring laughter to my car rides,
and I thoroughly enjoy your personalities and content each episode. Anyway,
thought for today. I often think about getting a vanity
license plate, but don't want to put super identifying info
(20:50):
on it, like my name. I was just thinking today
it could be hd Y in two h for half
the day. You need to have not the exact character translation,
but it needs to be six characters in my state.
How fun would that be? One of you should get
it in Tennessee. Thanks for all you do. We appreciate it.
Side note you, Amy and Eddie. Sharing your adoption journeys
(21:14):
on the Bobby Bone Show made the process feel less
scary and more attainable. I went through menopause at an
early age and couldn't have a second biological child. We
wanted to grow our family, so we got licensed with
our state and match with a perfect little girl. I'm
not sure I would have taken the next step without
hearing others go through it. Thanks for being so open
and vulnerable with your audience. Lots of admiration, Ian Boston,
(21:37):
which I'll touch on that part first. That's amazing. Thank
you for sharing that with me, because yeah, we never
know when we're sharing what's going on in our personal
lives what that may influence in a way. And to
give a child a home that needs it, like that's
probably the best thing that could come from this is
just others feeling like they can do it too, because
(21:58):
I remember feeling so intimidated, and I too was inspired
and encouraged by other adopted parents that I knew and followed,
and their encouragement helped, and it's like, Okay, yeah, they
can do it. I can do it because it is
not easy at all whatsoever. So thank you for sharing
that part. And then as for a vanity plate, I
think that that's awesome to put on there, mostly because
(22:21):
when you go park in a parking garage, you're gonna
know your license plate if you have to enter it
into a machine or enter it in on an app.
You're gonna always know it because you're gonna be like
have the day, like you're you're just gonna take the
acronym and go Like I am always walking back to
my car taking a picture. I should save it in
my favorites or something, but then I even get too
many favorites and I can't find it. Do you want Well,
(22:44):
I'm not going to put it on mine, but I
think for her, no, that's great.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Do you want that picture of your license plate in
your phone? But also like, what does it matter?
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Yeah, that's it dangerous to have?
Speaker 4 (22:53):
I don't think I don't think it is at all.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Yeah, that's also cool that somebody wants to make their
license plate have that you need to have. Which speaking
of okay, last week or the other week, we talked
about where that came from. Speaking of Okay last week
(23:19):
or the other week, we talked about where that came from,
And I just told you that it was from my
an old friend that worked at this gym.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
She owned this gym. Well, she sold the gym and
she moved to I think Colorado. We're somewhere far away.
I see you.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Carry on like every state you mentioned. I'm gonna be like,
okay at Boston, Massachusetts, m A, okay.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
Where island are? I?
Speaker 5 (23:48):
Okay, I'm saying, oh for my v E or v
R v E v M V t VT.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
I know I've seen that.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
Yeah, Okay.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Anyway, So the other day I woke up proud of yourself.
You're like, I know this one met.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
So the girl, the Kate Moore, who I got this
phrase from. She texted me last Saturday morning to say, like,
somebody sent me your podcast. It's so cool that that
phrase has like traveled and stayed with you for so long.
One of my friends has said it to me, and
that's how I remember it. And it was just so
I had not heard from her probably or seen her
in five six seven.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Years and six seven.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
Seen her to six or seven years, and that's so
cool that I'm like, who would have sent her that podcast?
Speaker 2 (24:40):
But that is very cool and the impact of like
her saying that one thing to you, and how it's
evolved into this whole thing. And now somebody's gonna have
a on their license yep, because of her and where
she moved to where Sea Colorado. I think so Okay, Well,
I was just thinking that'd be really cool if one
day E from Austin was driving around and then your
(25:01):
friend saw that, it was like, wait a second, that'd
be a full world's colliding type moment.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Also, I didn't know people could have the same license
plate in different states, but I guess it makes sense.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Yeah, because you have other data that's different. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
you didn't know that.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
Just kidding, did you know that?
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Well? I would think that that would be possible.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Can you have the same license driver's licene number? Is
somebody in a different state?
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Good question. I don't know that. I don't know the
answer to it, and I'm okay with I am okay
with not knowing that. Yeah, thinking phone numbers, but as
long as your area code is different, you.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
Think somebody in like Texas could have the same phone
number as me.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Yeah, as long as, like in Austin it's five one
two and here like six one five. So in Austin
would be five one two and yours gonna be six
one five, are the same? Cool? Yeah? What are you
cooking at all for your Thanksgiving?
Speaker 1 (25:58):
I'm cooking a lot because I'm going to two Thanksgiving.
I'm cooking two carrot cakes.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Is that traditionally a Thanksgiving I think.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
So, I don't like pie. I like apple pie, but
that's the only kind of pile like. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
I love me some carrot cake. Did you know that
about me? No?
Speaker 4 (26:13):
I didn't know. That's my favorite cake. Another thing we
have in common.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Okay, So I'm making two because I'm bringing one to
each things giving. I'm going to I have a really.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Great recipe and we should put that in the newsletter, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
I think it's from like a Betty Crocker cookbook, so
I'll give Betty some credit.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
Then I'm making corn bread cast roll for one.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
I love corn bread castroll. Are you talking about the
Jiffy es with the sour.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
Cream and the cheese? Oh, I don't know. I put
cheese cheese in Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Well if you don't, it doesn't matter. It's still amazing
so good. Yeah, I man, I might need to add
that to my stuff that I'm taking because it's just
so good. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
I don't like sour cream, so it's hard that I'm
making it.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
But he didn stick of butter is in there too, Yeah, yeah,
I think.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
There's an egg. And then I'm making picks in a blanket.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
So the thing with my Mom's Thanksgiving is my mom
likes to cook, and so she kind of covers most
of the stuff.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
So then there's like a lot of a lot of
stuff to bring, you know.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
So that's why I'm bringing picks in a blanket because
I'm like, I have to bring something in a care cake.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
And then Patrick said he wanted to make something himself.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Shout out Patrick, Okay, what is he making?
Speaker 4 (27:29):
Mashed potatoes?
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Does he have a good mashed potato recipe?
Speaker 4 (27:34):
He looked one up.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
He tried to get the wrong kind of potatoes, though,
and I had to correct him. He didn't believe me,
So I had to call my mom and be like, see,
even my mom.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Says, so what was he going for?
Speaker 4 (27:43):
His recipe said Yukon potatoes.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
And I have a vivid memory of my mom trying
a new mashed potato recipe with Yukon potatoes and it
was like a paste.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
It was like sloppy. Okay, I did not know that there.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Obviously, I know there's tons of different types of potatoes,
but I didn't know that it could totally change.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
The consistency vibe.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Yeah, you com potatoes are like the yellowee versus a
baking potato which is white.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Okay, my dog just nuzzled her way in here and
she just got a bath. Look at her, she saw
shaved down. Oh, and she smells good. Hmmm.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Anyway, I'll let you know how it goes. And also,
I don't know if that was my mom's user error.
So somebody out there is like, I use you com potatoes.
I just was traumatized.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Now why did you have them get like russet?
Speaker 5 (28:28):
Yeah, okay, thress potatoes sweet? Anyway, Oh, she does smell good,
Yeah she is. She has just like she like bathe
in a one of those car pressures. Did you just
whifer down with like dryer sheets. There's just like a
lot of air pressures that's just like spray.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
It's actually really strong.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Like also.
Speaker 5 (29:04):
Is i't even look, I can't see you're like, I
look like she has little horns. This we went to
a new place because, oh my gosh, we went to
a new place because they were cheaper.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
And now that's why Caara, Oh no, she guys was
like bounty.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Oh my gosh, I think, like, what in the world
is happening? Like, wait, look at her hair? Look at
her hair?
Speaker 4 (29:31):
It's actually pretty patchy.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
It's wow, I'm gonna have to get out my shear,
my shears.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
Do you think it's gonna because she was nervous and
she wasn't sitting still or no, nobody would be like
she's done.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
I'm sorry, Cara, I'm not laughing at you.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
I think she knows.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Oh no, I know. She's just sitting here with her
eyes like, I mean, everything else looks good. It's just
around her face. It's very splotchy. If they did it,
it looks like my child did it. That's okay. I
hope you're really legit clean. Yeah, it sounds like maybe
they are, just like, hey, just sprayed out. No one
(30:12):
will ever know. For Kura, it's so uneven. We can
fix it, Kara. Don't you worry. I'll fix you. I'll
fix you up real nice. Okay, Before we go, I
do want to say that this Saturday, Stevenson is going
to be doing a little fun run for Haiti. So
we'll call it a fund run where he's fundraising for
(30:36):
Christmas at the orphanage, the one that he was at.
And we're still very involved there, like actively give every month.
I'm part of a nonprofit that supports it with my
friends Tiffany and Christy, and we've had that since like
twenty thirteen or something, so that's where the money will
be going through. And what you can do is pledge
(30:57):
a donation per mile. So the furthest Stevenson has ever
run is five miles, and he would like to run
ten miles and he believes that with donations coming in,
he'll be motivated to do it and push himself to
complete ten miles with the donations coming through and the support,
and he's gathered a few of his friends to run
some of the miles with him, and we're going to
(31:19):
be doing it on Saturday. And you can pledge per mile,
like a dollar per mile, and make a ten dollar
donation and it's going straight to Team Hades five oh
one C three. There's a PayPal, there's a Venmo. Both
will be donations. You'll get a receipt that's tax deductible,
so it's not like you're paying me and then I'm
making a donation, like I'm not even touching the money.
(31:40):
So to support him, you can do yeah dollar a mile,
you can do five dollars a mile, you can do
ten dollars a mile, and then that would be one hundred.
Whatever you have to give. You could even just say
I'll do a flat. I'm just going to support this
kid and do two hundred. Whatever you want to do,
even if it's twenty dollars, that will make a difference
because if a lot of people do a dollar mile,
that will add up so fast.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
How do we plug?
Speaker 2 (32:03):
You can bludge to yourself before I'm gonna I've posted
some stuff on socials and we've been trying to figure
it out this week, but mostly on Saturday on Radio Amy,
which is my Instagram. He'll probably live stream and he
might be holding my phone and running and be like
mile one, mile two and we've made the route and
it's exactly one mile. Another one of his friend's moms
(32:25):
was helping with it because she's a runner, and she
was like, I think this loop would be a good mile,
and so one of her sons is the one running,
and then the other boys moms like, we might just
set up a table and chairs at the mile and
have like orange slices and gatorade and encourage him in music,
and like, if y'all want to come out, any other
family and friends want to come and cheer, and then
he'll just be doing it online and Mike d from
(32:47):
The Bobby Bone Show might come run the whole thing
with him, or some of it with him. Just Hey,
when you've got like support and motivation and donations coming in,
you're adrenaline picks up and then you're more likely to
be able to complete it. At least that's what's even
since hoping that he's going to do this so that
his friends in Haiti can have a good Christmas. And
what that means is, again, the Orphanage has support, but
(33:09):
it's like, can we make the Christmas even better? Can
we get certain gifts for the kids that weren't originally
in the budget? Can we do teacher salaries for the
teachers at the school that's at the orphanage, nanny bonuses
like end of year type stuff that'll just make their
Christmas that much more special. And depending on how much
we raise, that's the more awesome it could be. So
(33:30):
I'm excited that he had this idea after a run,
Like we sort of were just brainstorming together and he
was like, Yeah, that's exactly what I want to do,
and everybody we see he's like, are you coming to
my race on Saturday. So it's really cute, and I'll
have it on Radio Amy on Instagram, and I'm sure
I may have to also use our Feeling Things account
to like post things as well, because I don't know
(33:52):
if he's live streaming on my Radio Amy. I got
to figure out how can I still post on Radio
Amy like in stories, because that's where I'll put the
links to everything, like the venmo and the PayPal and
what you can do to answer back to your question,
kat is you can just pledge amongst yourself, like, Okay,
this is going to be my commitment. If he follows through,
then I'll make that ten dollars donation, that twenty dollars donation,
(34:12):
Like maybe he only completes eight miles, Well okay, what
if he does twelve miles? You know he goes above
and beyond, then now you're looking at a twelve dollars donation.
Like whatever works for you. And if you can't do anything,
maybe you just let somebody know that might be interested
in something like that, or you know they've got some
end of your giving to do. Hey, like I know
(34:33):
this kid that's running for Haiti, Like I know you're
a runner and love to someone sit me a DM
and they're like, I'm a runner. So in support of Stevenson,
I'm committing to run ten miles on Saturday. And I
don't know where they live, but just support like that.
The energy of everybody rallying together is impactful too, so
you can help spread the word. But that's what we've
(34:54):
got going on on Saturday, so coming up. I don't
have the official time yet, so just keep an.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
Eye out anytime on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
Probably be Saturday around noon. If I had to guess, oh,
what did you think.
Speaker 4 (35:08):
Well, I guess when it's well like seven am.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
God fifteen and his friends and I got to get
everything set up, and I don't think, y'all, well, I
guess I got to think about how long it might
take him to do it too, too, So like it,
I checked the weather. It's supposed to be like a
colder day than usual, and I don't know that the
sun's going to be out, so noon might be good. Yeah, yeah,
can be like seven am. Although he's motivated, he would
(35:32):
get up and do it, but I think for us
to just be organized and chill about it. So yeah,
shout out Stevenson. Proud of him, and i've got his
big fat heads over there. I'm going to have those
his cutouts from a cross country all right, Well, thank
you for listening, and I guess we'll see ya on
Tuesday or feeling things. And we hope you have the
(35:55):
day you need to have. Bye.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
Bye,
Good.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
All right, break it down.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
If you ever have feelings that you just fons Amy
and Cat gotcha covin locking a brother, Ladies and folks,
do you just follow an the spirit where it's all
the front over real stuff, tell the chill stuff and
the m but Swayne, sometimes the best thing you can
do it jes stop you feel things. This is Feeling Things.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
With Amy and Cat. Happy Thursday. Oh I guess I
should say Happy Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
Happy Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
This is Couch Talks the Q and a episode of
our Feeling Things podcast. I'm Amy and I'm Kat.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
And quick disclaimer before we get into the episode that
although usually we give some feedback to some emails from
listeners and voicemails, this podcast does not serve as a
replacement for therapy.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
We are mental health minded though, yes we are, and
we have an email about your disclaimer.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Yes we do.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I'm gonna get to in a little bit, which will
I mean, it's a valid question. I think I would
feel the same way if I was a listener. So
we'll get to that person's email here in a sec.
But since it is Thanksgiving, in case people are road
tripping somewhere right now, or they're planning for something later
in the day, and they're like, sure would be fun
(01:17):
to have an activity. I saw my friends Polly and Reagan.
Their handle is at nextdoor Life. They posted on Instagram
a friends giving that they had and they played the
viral game where you put a bunch of random ideas
in a bowl and they're on a piece of paper
and when people walk in the door, they draw one
of the things and they have to complete their task
(01:39):
by the end of the meal. And so you could
draw anything from hugging every guest, like you have to
walk around and hug every single person, which I could
be awkward, especially if you do some people there aren't huggers.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
I was thinking, like friendsgiving, you might not know everybody too.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Yeah, Or if you're at a family thing today, you
maybe don't know everybody. Like I'm going to a thing
at my boyfriend's parents' house and they're inviting some people
from their work and other friends that don't have anywhere
to go. There's for sure people that I will not
know there.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
And I'm like, time my dad hug Yeah, my dad
in mighted his banker one time, so that would be like, yeah,
I don't know you, but well, I guess I could.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Be like, nice to meet you. I can make it work.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Yeah, like I'm a hugger.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Yeah, my mom's like, no, you're not.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
So here are some of the things that you can
put in the bowl. Get everyone to say the pledge
of allegiance after the blessing. So like you if you
get to sign that task, like the blessing is said,
and you're like, all right, everybody, I'd like to do
the pledge of allegiance. And some people might be like, oh,
that must have been their task. But some people might
just think that's what you want to do. Like do
you say, like, this is my task? I don't think so. No.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
But also you could play that off because that runs
you have Christmas vacation.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Did they do that on there when the like.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Old aunt Sally I don't remember her name, but she
was supposed to say the blessing and she just said
the pleasure of allegis.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Another one is get everyone outside and find someone to
shotgun a beer with you.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Oh I thought it was everybody has to shotgun the beer.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
So that's so hard. You just have to say, all right,
everybody gather around outside and then you find a partner
and be like, we're gonna shotgun a beer, ok, and
then that's your task. You could also play duck duck goose.
You may be the person that has to put a
napkin on your head and say boom and tell everyone
you're a ghost. I would die if I drew that.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Well, if there's kids around, you could play that off.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
True, find a broom and start a limbo line. Wipe
food off the face of the person to your left
and then turn to the person to your right and
say I'm a baby, feed me google goga.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
That's the worst one by far.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
The next one is tickle four people and yelled tickles.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Also, if there's kids, that's easy to get around. If
it's all adults, that could get weird.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Okay, yeah, you could get away with doing that to kids,
so other people maybe can't.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
I guess like you can't go older man, get.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Like Uncle Larry, he might not be able to go
tickle fingers. Turn off all the lights, like you should
have to go around and turn everything off. Another one
is put several pieces of bread on someone else's plate,
and then another one is stand up and yell. Now
that's Italian four.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Times in a helme that's not Italian at all.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
What's the Thanksgiving meal? So that'd be Oh, that's hard, Okay,
got it. But some people do Italian for Thanksgiving, like
my friend Andrea. Her dad's Italian and he'll make spaghetti
and meatballs.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
I wish we did that.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Thu is thing.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Yeah, Thanksgiving food is not my favorite, so I would
rather Italian food.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
I know, when my kids came to America from Haiti,
we like their first things were like, you're gonna love this.
This is so great. I mean, I love the stuffing
and the candied yams and the pie. I'm not a
big on the turkey, but I can get down on
some stuffing dressing situation and they hate it. They oh,
they're like this is terrible. Yeah, it's not their thing.
(05:05):
They're like, can we have some rice and beans? I'm like, yeah,
sure sure.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
So I would like some feedback on this game, if
anybody listening has an idea, because I love this and
I think this is so funny. I think it would
be funnier, more fun if people didn't know that, like
you had a task, because then you'd be like, what's
up with Susan?
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Yeah? Like why is she saying? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (05:31):
You're agreeing like that's her task.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
So I don't know if there's a way to do
this where like you only give certain people tests and
only certain people know.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I don't know, or like as the host, do you assign.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
And not tell people that other people have tasks?
Speaker 2 (05:45):
But then it's like if you get a task, you're
probably like, oh, other people have a task.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
I'm with you, Like.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
There is a how do you make it a little
more mysterious of what is going on at this party?
Like why why is everyone acting a little off? Yeah?
But also it's keeping things interesting because yeah, maybe some
people want to do this come Christmas. If a caller
or a listener or an emailer, whatever you are, if
(06:11):
y'all have any ways to make this a little more mysterious,
I like that word for it, mysterious.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Also is there a price?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Because if I feel like what the most like whoever
has to the goo goo gaga thing that doesn't bother
me as much as the napkin on the head?
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Well, I'm thinking if I am not close with the
person that's sitting next to me and I have to
wipe his face, and then what if the person or
like what if I'm not close to the person that
I have to say Google gotta got to that is.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
I would just be like, I'm not doing this.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
You know, well I can't shotgunna beer. But I would
go out there and try.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Yeah, but that's people aren't gonna be like she's a weirdo.
What's wrong with that?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
People are like, come on, everybody, let's go outside, watch
me shotgunn of beer. And then you have no idea
what you're doing. Yeah, I don't know, so we'll figure
it out.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Maybe we can work shop it.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Let's work shop it. But if you are traveling, stay safe.
We have plenty of episodes to keep you company. Say
you got a four hour drive, two hour drive, Yeah,
you can get in a lot of feeling things episodes.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Yeah, for sure. You could go to the beginning. When
we first started, our episodes were like two hours long.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
You go back to April of this year and you
can start there.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
Do you do anything special like Thanksgiving morning?
Speaker 2 (07:27):
We don't in the morning, No, I mean Christmas morning.
We obviously have things, but we're doing it the Boulevard bolts,
but this is only my second year in Austin. Sometimes
we would do the Turkey trot, but my boyfriend's family.
They always do this one particular race, so we have
signed up. It's five miles crazy, but we're walking. My
son's gonna run.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Yeah, of course.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
If people are listening to this on Thursday morning, that's
exactly what I'm doing at this moment walking. I'm walking
right now, like I'm here recording right now. But when
you're listening to this.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
And be walking, go amy.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
And some people dress up fun like maybe i'all wear
fun socks.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Do you dress cozy or cute to Thanksgiving dinner? Do
you cute?
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Because dinner at his dad's they dress up like his
dad will have on a sports coat and slack. His
stepmomu ad dress because it's a five PM.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Well, so okay, so I'm doing something different this year.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
What are you doing? Jammies? No?
Speaker 4 (08:23):
I usually wear swat pants. I won.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
I always have wished that somebody would run like a
turkey trot with me. This is not the year because
I haven't run in like two years. I used to
run all the time.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Well, on Saturday, you can run with Stevens and we'll
talk more about that in a minute.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
But I could walk.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Can you run one mile?
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Difficultly okay, but I've been really getting really into walking.
But regardless, one year, I tried to get my family
to do like an obstacle course with me Thanks Gaving morning,
and nobody was into it.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
So like a workout obstacle course like when you made up,
or like a workout.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
One that I made out I was I wanted to
do like flip and tires.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
I wanted to make it it was like exercise but
also fun, like there are challenges and like we split
up into teams. So I made this thing up and
then everybody was like, I don't want to do it,
So then nobody did it.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
But I think I've talked about this with you before.
Maybe not.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
There was a neighborhood or there was a house in
our at the top of our neighborhood.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
And they all did.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Their own like little Thanksgiving turkey trot, and they will
have like ribbons at the front of our neighborhood that
they're like family will run through as their finish line.
And I'm like, guys, that could be us, And then
my family is like, but we don't want it to be.
So yeah, anyway, that's not important. One day, maybe I'll
get my kids to do that with you. Yeah, if
(09:44):
they want to, they probably won't. Anyway, I always dress
super casually too, or like jeans and a sweater, or
just don't. We don't dress up up or I don't.
But this year I got like a cute outfit. I
got some silk pants.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Oh, so you're going elevated.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
I'm going to elevate. I have a monochromatic look.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Chocolate brown, no wine, oh nice? Burgundy?
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Yes? And burgundy and chocolate brown are the colors of
the season.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Okay, really I should have done chocolate brown. I think
I would have liked that more.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
No, I love that you're doing. You're doing wine.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Wine felt Thanksgiving to me. Yeah, anyway, I'll let you
know how it goes. I like being comfortable on Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Those silk pants are perfect.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
Yes, they're stretchy. When I say silk, I mean polyester.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
But oh well whatever, yeah yeah, and then like a
sweater and a baggy.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Sweater so it's still yeah cozy. But I think I'm
gonna wear like some kind.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Of heel ooh, a little kitten heel.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
A boot with it, a little heel, yeah, a boot with
a little Yeah. So I'll let you know how it goes.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
I normally would like to be a little more comfortable,
but I'm trying to be more adult this year.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
At the time that we're recording this, I have no
idea what I'm wearing, but obviously I will have it
figured out.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
Maybe you'll wear brown celt pants.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
I think I'm down for the monochromatic look, like I
might wear brown. I have a brown leather skirt, but
I wore it last year to their dinner. But I
think I'm probably just gonna wear it again with a
different top skirt. It's a longer it's a long leather
brown stop.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Okay, I was gonna say, sure, is not. I need
to be able to Like, if.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
I wore short, i'd wear hose, pantyhose stocking stockings. What
if people call them pantyhose.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
Pantyhose stockings, tights tights?
Speaker 2 (11:28):
That feels more appropriate. Yeah, it is interesting, like some people, yeah,
dress up casual whatever, they're more of the But a
sport coat that's evening dress up type, which is fine,
Like it's fun. I don't have to do anything. Really.
I am taking my family's mac and cheese recipe, which
my sister and I named years ago. Alabama Mac and
(11:48):
Cheese sho. We put it in our newsletter. If y'all
are subscribed, you got it. If not, then subscribe and
next year you never know what you're gonna get. But
I had also posted on my Instagram or if you
have an old gratitude journal of ours, that's in the
back of that. There's so many ways that I've shared
over the years. My sister and I originally had it
(12:09):
in our cooking blog that we had together called one
plum Tree. I think that WordPress is still available in
one plumtree dot com. But it's Alabama Mac Andcheese Show,
and it's so good, and that is my contribution. But
his parents were taking care of the rest, and I
did say I'll make the mac and cheese, which I did,
and I will make pecan pi that I ended up buying.
(12:31):
I went to the store with all the ingredients for
the mac and cheese and the pocan pi and I
started walking around collecting everything and I was able to
successfully get everything I needed for the mac and cheese,
and then by the time I got to the pecan
pi recipe, I was already overwhelmed. And then I walked
by and it was almost like a gift from above.
(13:00):
And it was almost like a gift from above, like
the Lord was saying, here are these pecan pies already
baked and ready to go for you. And they looked
so pretty, and it was a Trader Joe's. It was like,
these must be good. So I put them in my basket,
and now I will be arriving with store bought pecan pie.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Okay, I find it interesting that you went to Treader
Joe's to buy ingredients for a recipe.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Yeah, it was on the on the whim. Okay, okay,
it's on the whim. I was on a whim. I
was you know where it is in Green Hills. I
was driving by and I thought, oh, shoot, I'm just
going to turn in here real quick.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Which is the parking I was going to say, that's
the worst lace to turn in real quick.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Once I turned in, I was like, too late. Now
I'm here and I'm stuck, so I might as well
park because this parking lot is terrible, and I'm just
going to go in. And they actually had everything I needed, shockingly,
because the cheese they had the cheese and the it's
just three different kinds of cheeses. Elbow mac and cheese
(14:05):
milk half in half. Okay, So I mean they had
Trader Joe's does have a good cheese collection. Yeah, but
pocan Pi Yeah, it's got which probably that's pretty simple.
It's like sugar pecans pie crusts. But I still was overwhelmed.
So I was like, I'm out of here.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
Well, good for you for knowing what you needed.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Yeah, I'm having the Thanksgiving that I need to have.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
I also would have been overwhelmed if I went to
that Trader joe So first mistake.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Yeah, which speaking of having the day you need to
have or having the holiday you need to have. Also
in our newsletter, we dropped our crew neck our sweatshirt
because we got feedback. We put half the Day you
need to Have on a T shirt, which was the
most popular item of our merch, so many requests for
it to be on a sweatshirt. Just a simple crew neck.
No hood because we have the other hoodie set or
(14:51):
a hoodie with matching joggers. You can either get both
or individual, so asking you shall receive. So we put
up a crew neck and it's a monochromatic. You're right,
it's like a I don't know how to describe it,
not like a light light, not a baby blue, but
almost like a denim color blue with navy blue letters.
And it says feeling things on the front and how
(15:11):
the do you need to have on the back? So
thank you for sharing with us that thoughts, which I want.
So we loaded it up there and put it at
Everything's like a Black Friday fun sale.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Yeah, because we're open to feedback.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
And speaking of feedback, do you want to read the
email or.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Are you ready for me? Do you want me to
read it? Because it's about you kind of.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
Yeah, I feel like you're better at reading than me.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Really, you have like a reading voice I do.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Yeah, it's because you have to do it a lot
at work. I don't know. Well, that's not the voice
you use.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Hello, Amy and Kat. Okay, here's the email. This is
from Oh another Amy, we're twins? Is that?
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Oh, don't ask what you're about to have?
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Wisconsin?
Speaker 4 (15:54):
What else would it be?
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Okay, Yoming? But that would be why?
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Yeah? Okay, Sorry that was rude.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
I'm sorry that you gave me a confliment and then
you lifted me up and then you shot me down. Sorry,
You're like, what are you a moron? Would you think
that that? What'd you think that that's the only state
with a w And because does does Wyoming have a
w NN? I?
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Yes, yes, it is valid question. I take it.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
And does Wisconsin have a w N?
Speaker 4 (16:20):
And I yes it does.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Okay, And you know what, I probably couldn't tell you
every state's initials or abbreviations.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
So that was judgmental. And I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
And because I'm open to feedback, I will receive that,
and I will also receive this email.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
It's okay, I get it. We can poke, we can
We're cool, We're so funny. We're so fun Hey, Amy
and Kat, longtime listener, and I love your show. I
have one piece of feedback before I go into how
Amy was cracking me up and how Kat blew my
mind on the Couch Talks episodes. Please stop saying the
this is not therapy line unless you're legally obligated to.
(16:56):
Can you put it in the show notes instead? For
those of us that listen every week, it's redundant and
in my opinion, doesn't seem necessary. It seems like you're
saying something over and over to what may impact point
zero zero zero one percent of the population. If that
probably point zero zero, the one of like listeners population
(17:16):
our listeners. It is not the entire Okay, okay, Amy,
do you know the original slang meaning behind roll dogging.
I was cracking up at that whole segment and kat omg.
I never thought of wearing leggings without underwear. Game changer.
It is so uncomfortable with underwear when working out. Love
you guys, thanks for what you bring us each week.
From another Amy in Wisconsin, Land of the Cheese. Yeah,
(17:41):
just like Trader Joe's.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
Yeah, speaking of cheese.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
So one, you're the one that says we have to
say and I don't know because that's your licensed therapist.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
Yes, well we agree with you. It is annoin probably. Yes,
it's redundant.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
It's quick, though we can try to say it faster.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Yeah, we can try to get through it faster. And
normally I think it really is amant. Like this episode,
we're not really giving feedback really to we're taking feedback
more than we're giving it. But because I am a
licensed therapist and I am in practice legally, yes, I
need to give a disclaimer so somebody does not take
feedback we give and then I mean you never know
(18:17):
what can happen, and somebody could always take this feedback
and use it as actual therapeutic advice. So I have
to just cover what is it they say, dot your
Oh you.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Don't know that.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
You don't know that word? Do you know how to write?
Because it's dot your eyes, crossed your teas?
Speaker 4 (18:34):
I have to do all the right things.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
And I was given that feedback by a lawyer back
in the day when I was doing You Need Therapy,
which it was way more applicable to that podcast because
I've always kind of in that realm, mental health realm.
Here we're mental health adjacent, but I just want to
be careful, So thank you for the feedback. I agree,
we'll try to get through it faster, and I love.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
That I helped you out.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
In the underwear department, I find it wild when people
are wearing more so when people are wearing the skimpy
kind of underwear.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
I don't know why I feel like I shouldn't say it.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
This is it because you're a practicing therapist. You don't
want to say the word song, which it feels weird
to say that. I don't know that's what I wear.
And I'm totally fun with it and I love it
and there's no way you're going to catch me ever
working out without underwear. End of story. Well, y'all are crazy?
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Are you afraid?
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Like?
Speaker 4 (19:23):
What if your leggings ripped?
Speaker 2 (19:25):
No? I like underwear?
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Okay, well that's all right.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Yeah, I like it.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
You do you and Amy from Wisconsin will do us?
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Yeah? And Amy also, Yes, I think roll dogging can
have lots of meanings. But I do know like that
meaning that you're talking.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
About speaking of me being a professional. And we'll leave
it at that.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Since kat is a practication, why do you have to
let us know this isn't therapy?
Speaker 1 (19:51):
And when you're talking about wearing underwear when you're working
out and raw doggy?
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Now, this next email or can I say her name?
Wasn't there an email we were talking about where it
says they didn't want to say the name.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
Yeah, and since we don't know, maybe you should this.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
One seems fine, But let's just call her E from Boston, okay,
because I don't know. It might have been another email
you were going over it where they were like, oh,
I don't want my name, which we definitely try to
respect y'all on that because you never know what you're
gonna say and who's listening? Hi, Amy and Kat. I
often have so many random things I want to share
with you as I listen to your podcast, but of
(20:27):
course I don't write them down and can't recall them now.
Undiagnosed ADHD, menopause and mom of two. So you know,
big fan just bought your merch hoodie and can't wait
to wear it. You bring laughter to my car rides,
and I thoroughly enjoy your personalities and content each episode. Anyway,
thought for today. I often think about getting a vanity
license plate, but don't want to put super identifying info
(20:50):
on it, like my name. I was just thinking today
it could be hd Y in two h for half
the day. You need to have not the exact character translation,
but it needs to be six characters in my state.
How fun would that be? One of you should get
it in Tennessee. Thanks for all you do. We appreciate it.
Side note you, Amy and Eddie. Sharing your adoption journeys
(21:14):
on the Bobby Bone Show made the process feel less
scary and more attainable. I went through menopause at an
early age and couldn't have a second biological child. We
wanted to grow our family, so we got licensed with
our state and match with a perfect little girl. I'm
not sure I would have taken the next step without
hearing others go through it. Thanks for being so open
and vulnerable with your audience. Lots of admiration, Ian Boston,
(21:37):
which I'll touch on that part first. That's amazing. Thank
you for sharing that with me, because yeah, we never
know when we're sharing what's going on in our personal
lives what that may influence in a way. And to
give a child a home that needs it, like that's
probably the best thing that could come from this is
just others feeling like they can do it too, because
(21:58):
I remember feeling so intimidated, and I too was inspired
and encouraged by other adopted parents that I knew and followed,
and their encouragement helped, and it's like, Okay, yeah, they
can do it. I can do it because it is
not easy at all whatsoever. So thank you for sharing
that part. And then as for a vanity plate, I
think that that's awesome to put on there, mostly because
(22:21):
when you go park in a parking garage, you're gonna
know your license plate if you have to enter it
into a machine or enter it in on an app.
You're gonna always know it because you're gonna be like
have the day, like you're you're just gonna take the
acronym and go Like I am always walking back to
my car taking a picture. I should save it in
my favorites or something, but then I even get too
many favorites and I can't find it. Do you want Well,
(22:44):
I'm not going to put it on mine, but I
think for her, no, that's great.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Do you want that picture of your license plate in
your phone? But also like, what does it matter?
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Yeah, that's it dangerous to have?
Speaker 4 (22:53):
I don't think I don't think it is at all.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Yeah, that's also cool that somebody wants to make their
license plate have that you need to have. Which speaking
of okay, last week or the other week, we talked
about where that came from. Speaking of Okay last week
(23:19):
or the other week, we talked about where that came from,
And I just told you that it was from my
an old friend that worked at this gym.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
She owned this gym. Well, she sold the gym and
she moved to I think Colorado. We're somewhere far away.
I see you.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Carry on like every state you mentioned. I'm gonna be like,
okay at Boston, Massachusetts, m A, okay.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
Where island are? I?
Speaker 5 (23:48):
Okay, I'm saying, oh for my v E or v
R v E v M V t VT.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
I know I've seen that.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
Yeah, Okay.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Anyway, So the other day I woke up proud of yourself.
You're like, I know this one met.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
So the girl, the Kate Moore, who I got this
phrase from. She texted me last Saturday morning to say, like,
somebody sent me your podcast. It's so cool that that
phrase has like traveled and stayed with you for so long.
One of my friends has said it to me, and
that's how I remember it. And it was just so
I had not heard from her probably or seen her
in five six seven.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Years and six seven.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
Seen her to six or seven years, and that's so
cool that I'm like, who would have sent her that podcast?
Speaker 2 (24:40):
But that is very cool and the impact of like
her saying that one thing to you, and how it's
evolved into this whole thing. And now somebody's gonna have
a on their license yep, because of her and where
she moved to where Sea Colorado. I think so Okay, Well,
I was just thinking that'd be really cool if one
day E from Austin was driving around and then your
(25:01):
friend saw that, it was like, wait a second, that'd
be a full world's colliding type moment.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Also, I didn't know people could have the same license
plate in different states, but I guess it makes sense.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Yeah, because you have other data that's different. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
you didn't know that.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
Just kidding, did you know that?
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Well? I would think that that would be possible.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Can you have the same license driver's licene number? Is
somebody in a different state?
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Good question. I don't know that. I don't know the
answer to it, and I'm okay with I am okay
with not knowing that. Yeah, thinking phone numbers, but as
long as your area code is different, you.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
Think somebody in like Texas could have the same phone
number as me.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Yeah, as long as, like in Austin it's five one
two and here like six one five. So in Austin
would be five one two and yours gonna be six
one five, are the same? Cool? Yeah? What are you
cooking at all for your Thanksgiving?
Speaker 1 (25:58):
I'm cooking a lot because I'm going to two Thanksgiving.
I'm cooking two carrot cakes.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Is that traditionally a Thanksgiving I think.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
So, I don't like pie. I like apple pie, but
that's the only kind of pile like. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
I love me some carrot cake. Did you know that
about me? No?
Speaker 4 (26:13):
I didn't know. That's my favorite cake. Another thing we
have in common.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Okay, So I'm making two because I'm bringing one to
each things giving. I'm going to I have a really.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Great recipe and we should put that in the newsletter, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
I think it's from like a Betty Crocker cookbook, so
I'll give Betty some credit.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
Then I'm making corn bread cast roll for one.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
I love corn bread castroll. Are you talking about the
Jiffy es with the sour.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
Cream and the cheese? Oh, I don't know. I put
cheese cheese in Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Well if you don't, it doesn't matter. It's still amazing
so good. Yeah, I man, I might need to add
that to my stuff that I'm taking because it's just
so good. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
I don't like sour cream, so it's hard that I'm
making it.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
But he didn stick of butter is in there too, Yeah, yeah,
I think.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
There's an egg. And then I'm making picks in a blanket.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
So the thing with my Mom's Thanksgiving is my mom
likes to cook, and so she kind of covers most
of the stuff.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
So then there's like a lot of a lot of
stuff to bring, you know.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
So that's why I'm bringing picks in a blanket because
I'm like, I have to bring something in a care cake.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
And then Patrick said he wanted to make something himself.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Shout out Patrick, Okay, what is he making?
Speaker 4 (27:29):
Mashed potatoes?
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Does he have a good mashed potato recipe?
Speaker 4 (27:34):
He looked one up.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
He tried to get the wrong kind of potatoes, though,
and I had to correct him. He didn't believe me,
So I had to call my mom and be like, see,
even my mom.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Says, so what was he going for?
Speaker 4 (27:43):
His recipe said Yukon potatoes.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
And I have a vivid memory of my mom trying
a new mashed potato recipe with Yukon potatoes and it
was like a paste.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
It was like sloppy. Okay, I did not know that there.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Obviously, I know there's tons of different types of potatoes,
but I didn't know that it could totally change.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
The consistency vibe.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Yeah, you com potatoes are like the yellowee versus a
baking potato which is white.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Okay, my dog just nuzzled her way in here and
she just got a bath. Look at her, she saw
shaved down. Oh, and she smells good. Hmmm.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Anyway, I'll let you know how it goes. And also,
I don't know if that was my mom's user error.
So somebody out there is like, I use you com potatoes.
I just was traumatized.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Now why did you have them get like russet?
Speaker 5 (28:28):
Yeah, okay, thress potatoes sweet? Anyway, Oh, she does smell good,
Yeah she is. She has just like she like bathe
in a one of those car pressures. Did you just
whifer down with like dryer sheets. There's just like a
lot of air pressures that's just like spray.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
It's actually really strong.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Like also.
Speaker 5 (29:04):
Is i't even look, I can't see you're like, I
look like she has little horns. This we went to
a new place because, oh my gosh, we went to
a new place because they were cheaper.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
And now that's why Caara, Oh no, she guys was
like bounty.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Oh my gosh, I think, like, what in the world
is happening? Like, wait, look at her hair? Look at
her hair?
Speaker 4 (29:31):
It's actually pretty patchy.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
It's wow, I'm gonna have to get out my shear,
my shears.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
Do you think it's gonna because she was nervous and
she wasn't sitting still or no, nobody would be like
she's done.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
I'm sorry, Cara, I'm not laughing at you.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
I think she knows.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Oh no, I know. She's just sitting here with her
eyes like, I mean, everything else looks good. It's just
around her face. It's very splotchy. If they did it,
it looks like my child did it. That's okay. I
hope you're really legit clean. Yeah, it sounds like maybe
they are, just like, hey, just sprayed out. No one
(30:12):
will ever know. For Kura, it's so uneven. We can
fix it, Kara. Don't you worry. I'll fix you. I'll
fix you up real nice. Okay, Before we go, I
do want to say that this Saturday, Stevenson is going
to be doing a little fun run for Haiti. So
we'll call it a fund run where he's fundraising for
(30:36):
Christmas at the orphanage, the one that he was at.
And we're still very involved there, like actively give every month.
I'm part of a nonprofit that supports it with my
friends Tiffany and Christy, and we've had that since like
twenty thirteen or something, so that's where the money will
be going through. And what you can do is pledge
(30:57):
a donation per mile. So the furthest Stevenson has ever
run is five miles, and he would like to run
ten miles and he believes that with donations coming in,
he'll be motivated to do it and push himself to
complete ten miles with the donations coming through and the support,
and he's gathered a few of his friends to run
some of the miles with him, and we're going to
(31:19):
be doing it on Saturday. And you can pledge per mile,
like a dollar per mile, and make a ten dollar
donation and it's going straight to Team Hades five oh
one C three. There's a PayPal, there's a Venmo. Both
will be donations. You'll get a receipt that's tax deductible,
so it's not like you're paying me and then I'm
making a donation, like I'm not even touching the money.
(31:40):
So to support him, you can do yeah dollar a mile,
you can do five dollars a mile, you can do
ten dollars a mile, and then that would be one hundred.
Whatever you have to give. You could even just say
I'll do a flat. I'm just going to support this
kid and do two hundred. Whatever you want to do,
even if it's twenty dollars, that will make a difference
because if a lot of people do a dollar mile,
that will add up so fast.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
How do we plug?
Speaker 2 (32:03):
You can bludge to yourself before I'm gonna I've posted
some stuff on socials and we've been trying to figure
it out this week, but mostly on Saturday on Radio Amy,
which is my Instagram. He'll probably live stream and he
might be holding my phone and running and be like
mile one, mile two and we've made the route and
it's exactly one mile. Another one of his friend's moms
(32:25):
was helping with it because she's a runner, and she
was like, I think this loop would be a good mile,
and so one of her sons is the one running,
and then the other boys moms like, we might just
set up a table and chairs at the mile and
have like orange slices and gatorade and encourage him in music,
and like, if y'all want to come out, any other
family and friends want to come and cheer, and then
he'll just be doing it online and Mike d from
(32:47):
The Bobby Bone Show might come run the whole thing
with him, or some of it with him. Just Hey,
when you've got like support and motivation and donations coming in,
you're adrenaline picks up and then you're more likely to
be able to complete it. At least that's what's even
since hoping that he's going to do this so that
his friends in Haiti can have a good Christmas. And
what that means is, again, the Orphanage has support, but
(33:09):
it's like, can we make the Christmas even better? Can
we get certain gifts for the kids that weren't originally
in the budget? Can we do teacher salaries for the
teachers at the school that's at the orphanage, nanny bonuses
like end of year type stuff that'll just make their
Christmas that much more special. And depending on how much
we raise, that's the more awesome it could be. So
(33:30):
I'm excited that he had this idea after a run,
Like we sort of were just brainstorming together and he
was like, Yeah, that's exactly what I want to do,
and everybody we see he's like, are you coming to
my race on Saturday. So it's really cute, and I'll
have it on Radio Amy on Instagram, and I'm sure
I may have to also use our Feeling Things account
to like post things as well, because I don't know
(33:52):
if he's live streaming on my Radio Amy. I got
to figure out how can I still post on Radio
Amy like in stories, because that's where I'll put the
links to everything, like the venmo and the PayPal and
what you can do to answer back to your question,
kat is you can just pledge amongst yourself, like, Okay,
this is going to be my commitment. If he follows through,
then I'll make that ten dollars donation, that twenty dollars donation,
(34:12):
Like maybe he only completes eight miles, Well okay, what
if he does twelve miles? You know he goes above
and beyond, then now you're looking at a twelve dollars donation.
Like whatever works for you. And if you can't do anything,
maybe you just let somebody know that might be interested
in something like that, or you know they've got some
end of your giving to do. Hey, like I know
(34:33):
this kid that's running for Haiti, Like I know you're
a runner and love to someone sit me a DM
and they're like, I'm a runner. So in support of Stevenson,
I'm committing to run ten miles on Saturday. And I
don't know where they live, but just support like that.
The energy of everybody rallying together is impactful too, so
you can help spread the word. But that's what we've
(34:54):
got going on on Saturday, so coming up. I don't
have the official time yet, so just keep an.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
Eye out anytime on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
Probably be Saturday around noon. If I had to guess, oh,
what did you think.
Speaker 4 (35:08):
Well, I guess when it's well like seven am.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
God fifteen and his friends and I got to get
everything set up, and I don't think, y'all, well, I
guess I got to think about how long it might
take him to do it too, too, So like it,
I checked the weather. It's supposed to be like a
colder day than usual, and I don't know that the
sun's going to be out, so noon might be good. Yeah, yeah,
can be like seven am. Although he's motivated, he would
(35:32):
get up and do it, but I think for us
to just be organized and chill about it. So yeah,
shout out Stevenson. Proud of him, and i've got his
big fat heads over there. I'm going to have those
his cutouts from a cross country all right, Well, thank
you for listening, and I guess we'll see ya on
Tuesday or feeling things. And we hope you have the
(35:55):
day you need to have. Bye.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
Bye,
