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 got your cob and locking no brother ladies
and peons, do you just follow an the spirit where
it's all the fus front over real stuff, tell the
chill stuff and the m but Swayne, sometimes the best
thing you can do it Jill, stop you feel things.
(00:27):
This is feeling things.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
With Amy and Cat.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Happy Tuesday. Welcome to feeling things. I'm Amy and I'm
Cat and I'm ready to just get to the feelings
because I know that you have a bone to pick
with me, and I don't know what the bone is,
but I just want to get through the feelings. And
I don't know if that has to do with your
feeling or what. But let's go.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Okay, lego, Okay. So I will say this is a
little taste of your own medicine. Okay, Okay, from when
you told me that we needed to discuss something and
then left me on red and I was freaking out
about it.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Right, I just sent you a text because I needed
to talk about something, but it was really not a
big deal.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Well neither is this, Okay, Okay, Well, I will say
my feeling of the day I have two, I feel
very grateful and that's because of all of the like
comments and messages and emails we got after I announced
my pregnancy where they were so sweet and I was
texting you and I was like, the people that are like,
I don't even know you and I'm crying. Yeah, that
was so sweet and that meant a lot. So that's
(01:22):
my grateful I am going to use the feeling in
because I'm not I'm intrigued. I'm intrigued, and this is
my bone to pick with you. Okay, we have been
talking about the past couple weeks or so Love is Blind,
and I have been suggesting shows for you to watch,
such as Traders, and you have been very anti both
(01:46):
of these shows, right, and then I open Instagram and
I see that you are watching Age of Attraction. Yes,
so how did we get there? Because from my person
effective Age of Attraction I could not even click on that.
It gave me the ick. It is felt so cringe. Okay,
(02:09):
So if you are so uninterested in these wonderful shows
such as Strainers and Love was Blind, what got you
interested in Age of Attraction? Well?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
I was sucked in through an Instagram click. Actually, of
this woman and a man, but he's way younger, so
a boy, but that feels weird. He he's a young man,
a young man in his late twenties and a woman
in her late fifty or mid fifties.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Think I got the same video.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
So I got this video and they weren't telling us
the age of these people. They were just showing that
they were having a connection. And it was like, well,
how does she and how does he? So then I
got sucked in because I needed to know. I needed
to know the age difference. And so the only way
for me to find out is to watch.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Okay, well, and for people who don't know what we're
talking about, Age of Attraction is a dating show on Netflix,
and from my understanding, it's you just date a bunch
of people you don't know what their ages are, and
at the end you tell tell you so.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
They bring everybody together and you have to do like
these little speed dates or go on these types of dates.
Only one rule, you cannot discuss your age.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
But like I think part of my thing was like
you have to know they're like.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Right, it's kind of obvious, right, yeah. Yeah, Well, so
that one particular couple that I'm talking about, like I
won't say their names or who they are, so it's
not like a really spoiling anything. It's been all over
the internet. But he ended up being older than her son,
than her oldest son, Like that would be weird if
(03:47):
I was her son younger.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
How did I say it older?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
He ended up being older than her oldest son? Maybe
I said youngest son.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
That's not that's good, that's not you want. You want
the boyfriend to be older than the kids. Okay, So
was I younger than her kids? Okay? Maybe maybe you're right?
I get it now. I was like, am I hearing
this wrong? Or what's going on? Is this the trunk?
(04:20):
That's normal? But okay, you're right, you're right, you're right.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Fine, we'll make them the same age, even though, yeah,
that's weird. They're they're a year apart or something. I
can't remember obviously if he's older or younger, but they're
only a year apart. It reminds me of when my dad,
his fourth wife, my brother brought a girlfriend to dinner
and my brother's girlfriend was older than my dad's wife.
(04:51):
Now that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Right, yes, But was his girlfriend a lot older than no?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Not a lot.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Your dad's wife was a lot younger.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Yeah, like it would have made more sense for my
brother to be dating my dad's wife.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Wow's there? Wait, So do these people stay together after
they find out that they don't know?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
I don't know, and I'm not going to be that
invested in the whole thing. Don't like pick too many
bones with me about this, because it's not like I'm
obsessed with the show or anything, Like I don't know
if there's season two that I'll watch the finale tomorrow,
the finales tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
But you watched all the episodes.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Yeah, I had it on the back, you know how
I watched shows like that, Like I was doing things
those computer like walking in and out. But I watched
it enough. But it's interesting because Netflix normally rolls things
out all at once, but this has been in That's
how they did Love Is Blind, where it was like, oh,
three episodes, than two, then two, than one, then one
the night whatever.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Okay, So I will say that I think it's must be.
On TikTok they're posting Netflix is posting videos of the
age reveals, so they're kind of giving spoilers. Yeah, on TikTok,
so I will say this.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Shannon looked it up this particular couple. She he's fifty
four and he's twenty seven, and he's two years younger
than her oldest son, So that makes sense he's younger. Like,
so if he's twenty seven, she has a son that's
twenty nine. And I don't know why that was confusing
me to say I was really doubling down too.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
I'm like, no, it's like, am I crazy? I don't know,
y'all are like he should be older this show? Also,
did you feel weird about it at any point?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
No, everybody's they're all adults.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
And they surely have to be on Are they on
there to find lover? They're on there to become Instagram influencers.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I mean, this guy was a software salesman and she's
a stylist.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Well, maybe she wanted more clients and so she went
on this Netflix show. Well if your parents went on
this show, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
I mean, maybe it could be fun, maybe not.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
You could get a new friend.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Yeah, I will say if it was reversed and like
the fifty four year old was a man and the
twenty seven year old was a girl, i'd be way
more creeped out.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Yes, well that does I think that happened too, right.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Sure, but this was the couple that got me to
watch the show. Okay, like, this is the couple that
you know. I don't know if it was reversed, i'd
been like, yuck, I'm not watching, but instead I was
like intrigued.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
I wonder if any couple has got together that were
like normal.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
There are two that I watched. They seemed relatively the
same age. She was definitely younger than him, but not
by much, like thirty years. It wasn't anything crazy or yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Okay, well I just need to talk about that because
I was a little offended that you were too good
for my shows, and then you were watching.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
This right now. Well, I am feeling affirmed. And since
I'm struggling with making sense today, this may not make
sense at all, but I feel like it's it's affirmation
but a little bit of the place oh effect. Okay, Okay,
let me explain it to you and then you tell me. Okay,
so I was at pilates and they were like you,
(08:10):
good job, Amy, and you know what's my love language? Exactly?
So if I get affirmed during class. What do you
think that does for me?
Speaker 1 (08:20):
I'm doing a good job. I'm gonna work harder, Like
I guess I'm a star plates princess. I'm gonna work.
I'm coming back tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Watch you thought my form was good there, watch it now.
So then we move on to a different move and
they're like yeah, okay, yes, oh that's it Amy, And
I'm like, okay, I got it again. Then throughout class,
I mean there was three or four times where I
got called out. Well, then you know, they give you
wipes at the end of class, sous you wipe your
(08:49):
bed down and then over by the trash can you
throw away the wipe. Well, normally always on top of
the trash can. Normally always that's I think that's okay,
normally always, I think it's contradicting.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
I didn't get any red flags.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Normally they have this sheet of the all the beds
and whose name is on each bed, so that the
instructor knows. So probably so they can call people out
and be like, good job Amy, nice form, Amy, ooh
looking good Amy. Guess how many Amy's were in my class?
Speaker 5 (09:26):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (09:26):
No, three, three Amy's, So who knows when they were
actually shouting me out.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
They should say like Ayby right or Amy? Yeah, but
they know they left it at Amy. Wait, that's funny,
So that instructors trobably like, yes, I can only have
to think about one name.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Right, If I say Amy, I've nailed you know most
of the class. Yeah, there's fourteen beds total, three of
them are Amy. So I was really feeling good. So
what's crazy is well, I say placebo is because some
of those weren't even for me. But yet I felt.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Did you have the urge to walk up to the
instructor and say like, so when you said good job,
it was me right? Definitely? I think she would have
been like yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
And then when I left they would say something about
me being a weirdo.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
But so, do you want some insider baseball on fitness instructors?
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Yeah, because Kat used to teach spin class.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Tell me so I taught? Yeah, I taught spin and
we had I had on my computer. I could see
the all all the people in their names, and sometimes
I would just open up that tab on my computer
because I also would play my music off my computer
and just call people's names out. But I didn't know
who they were because it's nice. It is really nice
and motivating to hear your name regardless, however, I will
(10:52):
say sometimes I would do that, but when you know them,
I would say good job, and I would mean it
most of the time.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Don't ruin this for me. I need to be affirmed
in class, does it?
Speaker 1 (11:05):
But I think this is goes to like the placebo.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Of it, like you're right, I'm not gonna know, but
now I'm gonna know.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Oh, she's probably just saying the name like to motivate
you though.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Yeah, that's I like being told I'm doing good job
and it being like I earned this. Yeah, like nice
form amy good technique.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
But I think if you say nice form, you need
to be I wouldn't say nice form to somebody if
I wasn't looking at them, because what if they're like
sitting down, okay time.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I feel like at my studio.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
They take it seriously. I feel like, well, like I'm
picturing you a spin class.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
It's like dark.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
You can't always see everybody, you know. Yeah, and I
would again, I would only say nice form or something
specific like that if I could see them. But I
might say, like, I don't know, keep it up or
something like that. When it's dark and I can't see.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Yeah. Yeah, it's never fully dark in there. And I've
never gotten to like just blanket like keep it up, Amy,
keep it up, Cindy.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Like I get my keep an actual, like I like
the lunch with your right leg Amy.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Very good, like good extension.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Amy. Did you do you know that instructor? Uh?
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yeah, okay, I mean would define no, like I've taken
her class multiple times.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Like you stay high like she probably yea, yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Like some I see more than others. Like I was
leaving the other day and one of my favorite instructors,
her name is Nicole. She was like, oh, great job, Amy,
per usual, and I was like per usual. I was like,
she thinks I did good. I wish it was like
that's my usual, that's my sometimes always.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Yeah, okay, Well, I'm glad that it felt good, no
matter it felt good, no matter what. It just made
me think.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Like there was something that Bobby said on the The
Bobby Bone Show the other day, some article I'm paraphrasing,
don't have the scientific research with me at all whatsoever,
but that obviously we know about the placebo effect, but
sometimes even just taking a candy or sugar pill or
something before bed and acting as if it's some magic
pill that's going to help you sleep, will help you sleep. Really,
(13:07):
I'm like, I gotta start trying that, Like I got
to pop a skittle and be like.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Yes, I will say when you're this is for me,
and I feel like this is somewhat universal. When you're
working out in a class like that and somebody says
your name, it's coming to my mind, is like you're
feeling seen in that space and like they know you
and you feel special. That is like a I don't know,
(13:34):
a feeling that you can't make up somewhere like it's
what's the the term I'm looking for When it doesn't
when you can't buy it with money.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
M tangible Nope, No, when its priceless, Oh.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
That's like a priceless feeling when you're like, oh, they
know me here and they care about me here and
they see me here versus like you go to a
workout class like a I don't know, this is how
I felt in like big places like a soul cycle
or something, when there's like seven I have people in
the class, you feel like just like one of the
I don't know millions and they don't really care if
(14:07):
you're there, so it's very important. I'm glad that your
intructor was calling out names. Yeah, well, because a big
part of it.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Where I go, they've generally been great at that. I
really feel like it's why I decided to sign up
even after the first time I went. You know, Kat
called me a Pilates princess a minute ago, because when
I first signed up at this place after my first class,
and they do this with every first time visitor. After
you get done, you go to your locker and open up,
and they have put a card inside that says congratulations
(14:33):
zero Pilates Princess, like you did great, good job.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
And there's little stickers and you just feel special.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
And I was like, yeah, fine, all by a year.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
When even if they do that to every single new person,
it still means that they care about every single new
person that comes in the door, versus like, oh, who
cares if they come back or not, Like we're fine.
So I like your studio and I've never been been there.
Love that. Love it.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Speaking of other things that I love that, you were
talking about how you got some nice messages from people
and notes. We have some voicemails and I love them
and they're for you. I'm nervous, so this is a
little gift to you and the baby. Okay, from our listeners,
we have a voicemail from Linda. Some people say where
they're calling from. I don't know where Linda's calling from.
(15:30):
Just picture Linda in the world.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Can I picture her like in Australias maybe.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Because you know we're international, Yeah we are, okay, so,
but I don't think she has an accent.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
But here's Linda.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
Cats having a baby, Cat having a baby.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Yay, congrattul My friends just listening to the podcast and
that was so exciting. I'm so happy for you.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Love the show.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
That's sweet. That was so okay to take your time
out to send that message and this is going to
make me cry. Yeah, is that your goal?
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Well, I think you're gonna love this next one. Okay,
this is from Kylie and she's in Alabama.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Okay, Hello, my name's Kylie. There is an Alabama and
I am feeling super excited because Kat and I are
pregnant at like the same time. Because as of right now,
twelve weeks pregnant, my baby is the size of a lime.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Have the day you need to have lives and that
means now her baby's the size of a lemon. Yeah,
because last week you were alive and this week I'm
a lemon, which my app said because it gives you
like different categories, and the fruit category, I'm a lemon.
But then it also said it was the size of
a Pokemon card. And then it also said it was
(16:44):
the size of a baby carrot, and a baby carrot
and a lemon are very different.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Very very different.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
So I'm like, is it this big or is it
this big? Isn't that crazy? Yeah, I need a new
app baby.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
I don't know, I don't know. That is really weird.
We need more details about that for sure.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
So well, I'm gonna go with lemon.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
We'll go with lemon, especially since we went with the
line last week, so we'll just go on.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
That would mean a got smaller if it's now a
baby carrot.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
We have other voicemails, but you can't play them all.
So I've got this one from Amber in Iowa.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
Hey, Amy and kat I just finished today's episode and
number one, Yes, I know Puma, absolutely love with him
and his crew. I didn't know the name of the
thing though. I'm really bad at that number two? Can
you continue doing check ins with Kat? I'm so excited
for you. Congratulations, excited to watch you become a mom.
Here you become a mom both. I don't know, but
(17:40):
it's fun and I think Amy has perfect questions since
she's never experienced that. And I also have never experienced it,
though I wanted it when I was younger, but I
dealt with the fact that I'm not happening for me. Anyways, Yeah,
those are fun check ins for as much as Kat
is willing to share, it's fun to hear you go
through it. So anyways, have a good day, have the
(18:00):
day you need to have. This is Scamber from Iowa. Thanks.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
So we've got to create little check ins that we
can do periodically, like like okay, you know, time for
the baby check in?
Speaker 1 (18:16):
We cat okay, but remember we were told that our
singing was annoying.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
We can get our I can get a jingle for
it or something like we can get an official jingle like.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Time for the baby check in with cat Okay. That
one's actually kind of cute.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Well, I feel like I could do that live every time.
It's quick too, like do do it's time for the
baby check in with cat. Okay, yeah, so the check
in today is that.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Lemon or a baby lemon?
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Are there any other things you're experiencing because I have
something I could bring up if you're not ready or prepared.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
It's about you though, my legging your gee. So yeah,
I'm in the stage where I I'm not like showing,
but I am showing, if you know what I mean. Like,
I don't have a baby bump, but my stomach has expanded,
so my clothes don't really fit and I'm just in
(19:12):
this weird in between. My jeans sometimes feel too tight,
even though some of them I can sew a button.
So I bought I've never bought something from Hilara before.
Have you seen that on? You get the ads? We
all get the ads, right, I don't know what you're
talking about. You don't get Hailara ads on your TikTok.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Is it for maternity clothing?
Speaker 1 (19:29):
No, It's like, no, these aren't even maternity jeans. These
are normal people jeans that are just really stretchy. They
do like active wear. And I've never bought anything.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Well, now that you're saying it, I'm sure I'll get
the ads.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Yeah, you're welcome. Yeah, but they are literally leggings. They're
so stretching. You saw how far I stretched them. They
look like like jeans and they're the cut of them.
I feel like a lot of times jeggings, like jean
leggings don't actually have the like shape of jeans, but
they do and I love them and they'll I think
they'll stretch with me for a while. So great purchase.
(20:04):
They're very cute, really good about them.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Your shirt is cute? Is your where's your shirt?
Speaker 1 (20:07):
From Old Navy? New Recent? I actually got this when
I was doing my egg retrieval because I when you
do the egg retrieval, your stomach looks pregnant because your
ovaries are so what's the word swollens? Well, I guess so.
So I needed really baggy clothes, so I got a
bunch of these.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Don't ask for me for words earlier. You're looking at
the word priceless, and I was like frugal, Like I
don't know what I said, but it couldn't. It was
like never near the right word what you were looking for. Oh, tangible,
You're like, what's the word, And.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
I'm like, tangible money? You can't buy it with money? Tangible,
which you can't.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Buy it with money, because I was looking at it
like because like something you can't touch. Yeah, yeah, it's
like you tried whatever I tried. So now you're like,
what's the word. I'm like, I don't know. I'm assuming
your ovaries are inflamed, woolen, enlarged.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
I guess enlarged. Why can't I think of the word
that they would use, juicy? The word juicy. I looked
more pregnant in the ten days of my egg retrieval
than I do now. It was crazy. That is crazy,
So shout out to anybody who's going through that, because
it is a I mean, that's a mind gang with
your body image. So also, I do believe Old Navy
(21:23):
is doing a half off cell right now.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Well, I might go on there and look for that
shirt because I love.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
The green boyfriend cut Oxford is what it was.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
What looks great with your stretchy jeans? I thought literally
they were maternity, but you're saying they're just for anybody.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Yeah, yeah, anybody. Because I hear that maternity jeans are
people don't like them, that a lot of people are
just wearing lower cut jeans, which I don't know if
I want to do that. Oh.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
I saw a girl that's in at our track meet
the other night and she.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Was full belly out, like little teeny tiny tank top.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
With these low rise drawstring pants and her like she
must have been eight or nine months along, like.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Giving birth any day.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
And it was interesting. I didn't have anything wrong, you know,
but there was You're like, I don't know that I
would do it. I don't think I could do that.
She looked adorable. I didn't know I could do it.
And then yeah, I feel that way.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
That's like the style now that people like their bump
is an accessory, and I think it is so cute
when I see people, because I get a lot of
tiktoks now that are about maternity style and I'm like, Okay,
those outfits are so cute, but I'm not wearing a
crop top with my belly out to work, right. I
can't do that. I just am more I think modest
than that. And I'm not at the point now or
(22:41):
that I could do that anyway, because I don't have
the bump, but it is. It's the thing. It's like
instead of a necklace, you have your baby.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Bump, you know, sure, sure, yeah's your accessory.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
It's what was that rule you have to have like
seven things?
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Yeah, the rule of seven.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
The bump is one of the things.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Earrings, purse, jacket, hat, scarf.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Bell, Yeah, baby bum baby bom So.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Shannon has confirmed Old Navy is having a STU right
now fifty off online and in store, but only till
March twenty fifth, so like one day. If you're listening
to this on Tuesday, you cant until tomorrow and then, yes,
your ovaries were inflamed, she confirmed online.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
That is what it is. That's the official There's a
word that they used though, but I'm thinking.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Enlarged, enlarge, inflamed.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
I'm trying to think of the word because they were
the Maybe it's stimulated because they're stimulating your follicles so
all of so, then they want them to be a
certain size and once they get to a be a
certain size, then you have the retrieval and they go
and then they suck them out.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Yeah that makes sense. Which also shout out Amber for
knowing Puma.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Yeah crazy love that. Wait, that means she's seen the
videos of Puma since she knows him Apple Gay or
Apple whatever the landscaping company is that he works for yeah,
because they're TikTok and Instagram famous, like they obviously have
a following because they make fun videos while they're at work.
(24:14):
And Puma, he's just so cute.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
I swear to you, if I see him, I will
be like Puma and I'm like what And Ambery knows
Puma too.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
So cool.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
This is something that came up in my therapy session
the other day, and then I saw shrink Chicks post
about knowing if you can trust yourself, like if you're
feeling like you can't, or maybe you once could and
you feel like you've lost trust in yourself. They shared
a long list of small ways you can build that
(24:45):
trust back, but I pulled five of my favorite from
the list and then put my own little twist on
them after something that came up in therapy, because my
therapist was challenging me with something I could do to
support myself a little bit in that moment, Like what's
(25:06):
one little thing you can do to support yourself? So
that might be, for example, like going on a walk,
like can you get up if I'm feeling in a
certain way. She was also celebrating and acknowledging that my
window of not my window of tolerance, but my window
of let's say I go off the rails and do
(25:27):
a behavior that like isn't in alignment with who I
want to be now, but it's like, oh, I thought
I evolved from that, right, Like why am I having
this thought? Or why did I have that behavior? Or
why did I do that? Or why did I snap
or what you know, like why was that my reaction
or why did I react and not take time to respond?
Speaker 1 (25:42):
You know?
Speaker 2 (25:44):
But I recover more quickly, and so she said that
my window of recovery is getting smaller, which is great.
She's like, that's what we want in therapy, Like we
want you to have that awareness and then you come
back to self.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Because we're going to mess up more quickly.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Right. She was like, have grace. You're human, doesn't mean
you're gonna always okay. Now that you've decided this is
who you are and how you're going to be that,
you just that's the path you stay on. And I
told her that I had a moment, but I self
corrected faster than like ever before, and she was like, oh,
let's celebrate that because your window of recovery is becoming
(26:20):
more narrow, which is what we want because some days
sometimes like who knows, you may not even be aware
of how you acted or what you did for like
a week or a month, or you may stay in
it because you did it. You might be like, oh well,
and you may stay in that behavior for or that
slump or whatever you want to call it, for a week,
a month, or however long when if you want a
(26:41):
course correct anyway, So we were celebrating that, and then
I was just like, well, now I feel like I've
lost a little bit of trust in myself, and how
do I know I can take care of myself. She's like, well,
that's one example, but she's like, what are some little
things you can do for yourself that will support you
in those moments if you're having some of those thoughts,
since she was like going outside, getting fresh air, practicing whimsy,
(27:04):
like when we've wanted to be more playful. Do I
need to take a nap? Do I need to eat something?
Do I need to drink something water? Probably not like
drinking something else. So then it reminded me of something
that the shrink chicks put up, and it's pretty much,
if you're not sure you can trust yourself anymore, these
are some ways that you can, and that was one
(27:24):
of them. To ask yourself what would feel just a
little more supportive right now? Just small shifts like that
are more than you think. What would be one for you?
If like you were feeling off, like, what something you
know you could go do for yourself that might feel
supportive to you in the moment.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
The first thing that I came to mind was take
a shower. But you can't always do that, I know, so.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Do not underestimate washing your hair too.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Yeah, today was a hair wash day. I felt really good.
But when I can't do that, well, I can't go
cause I like that reset. I'll do like an ice
roller that feels like soothing, you know, or I mean
drinking a cold glass of water. Yeah, something that feels like, yeah,
soothing and good to you.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
One of the examples from Shrink Chicks was stop rushing
yourself back to fine, because sometimes we want to. Even
though I was celebrating that, I course corrected more quickly.
I probably need to give myself space because sometimes that
might not always be the case. Or if I'm in
a rut or grieving something like, oh I need to
(28:29):
feel better by this point. You don't need to necessarily
rush that we need to trust that we're going at
the pace that is good for us. Another thing was
paying attention to what your body is telling you, Like
if you're tired, hungry, tents, all of those things are
signals your body's communicating something to you. So start listening
(28:50):
and paying attention and then acting on it and be like, oh, yeah,
I ate and I felt better, so I can trust myself.
Or I drink water, I felt better.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
I took a nap and then I felt better like that, So.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
For my naps, can't go too long. I don't I'm
not a big napper anyways, but if I nap, If
I do nap and it's too long of a nap,
then it's a problem. But there's like a sweet spot
for me. It's gotta be less than thirty minutes. Why
how long are your naps?
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Well, that's a cat nap. This is also not really
fair because I just went through tremester one of pregnancy
and I was taking like two hour naps every day.
That is not normal for me. So I don't know.
I think a good nap is like forty five minutes
to an hour. Really yeah, interesting, By the time if
at thirty minutes, like I've just fallen asleep in them.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Back up, listen, don't ask me. I'm not really that
big of an napper. Give yourself permission to change your
mind is another thing, because changing your mind is evolving.
That's wisdom. Don't beat yourself up for it. You're allowed
to change your mind.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
I feel like that's something that gets people twisted in
trusting themselves when they're like, well, I now believe this,
or I now know this, or I now would do this,
and so then they're like, how do I even know
that's right because I used to think this. That's not fair.
It's like you said, it's natural to evolve, and as
we gain more wisdom, we allow ourselves to change our minds.
(30:18):
That should build more trust, knowing that I'm flexible when
I gain more information, versus I can't trust myself because
I once thought this thing.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
I feel like online isn't necessarily making it easy for
some people to change their mind. Like if someone opens
up and is sharing like, oh I was wrong about this.
There's so many comments and these are trolls, so you
should not listen to them anyways, but it's hard to
ignore when someone's like trying to publicly say hey, I
(30:48):
know da da da da, but now I'm thinking da
da da da da, instead of being like, oh cool,
like way to evolve and do some critical thinking and whatever,
instead of saying, well, you were part of this problem
to begin with, soh yeah, now you know it's like, wait,
that's not very good.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Celebrate welcoming to it's it's all yeah, it's like is
that our job to hold them accountable for those things?
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Or yeah no, and then it's so then it's difficult
for them to be like, oh, well, I guess I'm
not allowed to change my mind, which you are. Give
yourself permission to change your mind. And then the final
thing is follow through on one small thing you promised
yourself each day. So this doesn't have to be anything crazy.
It can be something manageable, you know, Like I mentioned water.
(31:31):
It could be like, okay, I want to drink six
cups of water today. Follow through on that for yourself,
and then you'd be like, okay, I can trust myself.
Or I want to go to bed tonight at nine
thirty pm. We'll get in bed at nine to twenty,
so that you're you know, yeah, do little things to
show yourself.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
You mean what you say. Yeah, I think what happens
a lot of times when people want to make a
change is they want to make all the changes at
once because you're motivated. But that's not possible. So then
that backfires because you're not going to do all of
that stuff, and so then it's like, well, never change
versus like you're saying. If I start with, like this week,
(32:11):
I'm going to go to bed at nine pm three times,
Like you can do that, but you can't go to
bed at nine pm every night, drink seventeen glasses of water,
cook all your meals at home, make sure that your
gas has car your car has gas in it before
it's time to leave to go somewhere, do all your laundry.
Like you can't do all of that stuff. This that
(32:34):
if you're going to change it at once, it's going
to gobody calming that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Have I told you my gas thing that I'm doing
my little reward? Yes, I feel like I talked about it,
but now I can't remember what it wants.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
You would love it?
Speaker 4 (32:46):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (32:48):
You don't remember? Try to guess.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Okay, I give myself picture me at a gas station.
If you're getting myself a treat.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
If you fill up your gas before you get three
quarters a quarter a quarter, then you can get a
diet coke. Yes, okay, yeah, I did it. You did
it from from the fountain.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
No, I just get a bottle or bottle or can.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
The bottle is the worst kind of diet.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
I don't know that I trust the ice at the fountain.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Huh. But that's I've never been worried about that.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
I mean, but I mean I'll go to a restaurant
and get it from the same thing.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Maybe maybe not the health code standards, they'd be different,
well not standards, but I bet that like Chick fil
A has a higher health code score than your local
Xon the gas station.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Yeah, I don't know, but I just go in and
get Yeah, either a tall boy can or the screwtop.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
I like the screwtop because that'll last.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Me a few days because I can put the lid
back on and you don't keep it in my fridge.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
But you don't go home and pour it into a
cup with ice. No, I'll just take a few SIPs
in the car.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
It's I get I get your It's not the same
fountain thrown through all the way fountain, diet coke, can,
diet coke, then bottle.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Yeah, but you're right. If you have a can, you
have to drink it all then.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Right, you can't if you've got the bottle. So anyway,
that's if.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
You are trying to mess with your reward, that's really great.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
Second, if you struggle with getting gas, because I am
a get gas when my car says refuel immediately. So
my car goes you know empty or like close to
getting empty, and then it'll send me a message on
the dashboard that says please refuel, and then it will
go refuel immediately. And that's normally when I get gas.
(34:40):
But as of the last six months or so, I
have been going and if I get there and I
still have a quarter of tank left, I get my
diet coke treat.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Have you ever ran out of gas on the road? Yes, recently. No.
Was this a teenage thing? Yes, okay, that's appropriate, but.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
I mean I've been close, yeah, and it's not. People
always love to send messages because when I'm like, oh,
I'm on it, please refuel, I'm like, oh, Instagram, like,
I don't know why that's.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
Something daredevil at me. I'm so edgy I don't know.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
That's why that's one of my most viral videos ever
has to do with the guest tank.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
I think it has over eleven million views. Well that's
like kind of rage bait. Don't you think why when
you post a picture and you're like have negative that
gets people riled up?
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Well? I did like a video where I did like
I married my video up with another girl's video from TikTok.
I can't remember her name, but I gave her credit
in the video. It wasn't like just like oh, but
I pulled her video like she says. She said in
her video, do you know why I keep my gas
tank on e? And she's like, because if anybody gets
(35:46):
in my car and you know, puts a gun in
my head and is like just drive, She's like, where
am I gonna drive besides the gas station so that
I can get out of my car and run, you know.
And so I did a little like stitch video with
her where I was like, anytime I'm nearing empty, I
think of this woman. And then I played her clip
(36:08):
because it's like, do I really want to get gas?
Because what if I get taken? And then I'm like, well, sorry,
we're going to need to go to the gas station.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
Having gas in your car essentially could end your life exactly.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
They could get they could drive all the way to
the country rural parts.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Yes, and then you're really then you're in the middle
of nowhere.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
I think about that a lot when I'm in the land,
like if I'm somewhere, like if i'm ever well, if
I'm driving where there's lots of land, or looking at
homes that have lots of land. To die here, No,
I don't think I could die. I think are there
bodies there?
Speaker 1 (36:44):
We wouldn't know.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
And then you know, I don't know if this is
on your algorithm, but a lot of bunker stuff is
showing up on my algorithm. I don't know if this
is on your algorithm, but a lot of bunker stuff
(37:06):
is showing up on my algorithm. Of people who built underground.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
Bunkers, we very different.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
And I strongly believe anybody that is building an underground
bunker needs a background check. Why because now you're telling
me you have this very discreete oh container under in
your backyard that has like this hidden trap door you
could hide with all these living amenities where they could
totally live like life down there, like you could be
(37:35):
hiding somebody.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
That's fair. I was thinking, I need to find a
friend that has a bunker just in case. Yeah, same,
I don't know anybody. I also are the people that
are doing bunkers are they kind of trying to keep
that on the deal because.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
If they need them, some aren't because I mean, but if.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
They need it, they don't want people to know because
they don't want them all up in their.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
Showing up, Like, hey, I know you have a bunker.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
Yeah, and it's like one more mouth to feed more
person just in the cot mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:03):
I don't have this on my algorithm though.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
Really is it?
Speaker 1 (38:08):
I wonder is it because you're watching Paradise?
Speaker 2 (38:11):
I got intrigued because this one bunker guy popped up
my feed.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
Who's built them?
Speaker 2 (38:16):
For all the billionaires like Zuckerberg and everybody else?
Speaker 1 (38:19):
Okay, that brings up a whole other I don't know
why I got so.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
You had a visceral reaction, Yes for you, sweating cat,
just how my palms.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
Are getting Ah wait, bit for some reason, billionaire and
bunker freaks me out because they already get away with
so much stuff because they have billions of dollars. Yeah,
that I'm like, they don't get to have a bunker
because they could be doing If somebody's going to do
something with a bunker, I feel like it's going to
be that. That's very judgmental, and I acknowledge that and
(38:54):
I will work on that. And that is how I
feel right now.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Well, I don't know if this is true or not,
because again it was just in my algorithm, but there
apparently is some secret Paradise esque type bunker situation that
all the wealthy people have. I'm not talking about Zuckerberg.
I'm talking about just maybe not billionaires, but maybe they're
multi multi millionaires and there's this community of where they
(39:19):
will know but as should they need to. They bought
in and it exists somewhere in America. Yeah, like a
prestigious club that you can get into hold your slot.
I mean, ronal, what a racket be Like, Oh yeah,
to all these people with money, you just act like
you have this Like.
Speaker 4 (39:41):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
Let's hope so because they're whyse with their money? Obviously,
most people that wealthy don't just have the wealth because
they're well, unless buying bunkers sight unseen.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
Unless they've just been gifted that money through you know, inheritance. Yeah,
which they could still be wise with their money. But okay,
is that on your algorithm that you're seeing that because
I didn't. I've never heard this, Okay, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
That's why I'm true. Also Switzerland, I believe I talked
about this on the Bobby Bone Show. I think they
have a shelter for everyone in their population.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
Well how big is your population?
Speaker 2 (40:19):
Well, I don't know exactly, but still to have something
and then some and they have extra space, but it's required,
like they have somewhere safe for everybody to go shelter
bunker types underground yeah or in the Yeah, in the ground,
under the.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
Ground, it's the difference. No, in the ground, not underground.
So here it is.
Speaker 2 (40:43):
Switzerland has a vast network of nuclear hardened shelters and
bunkers capable of housing its entire population of over nine
million people.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
What's the population of United States?
Speaker 2 (40:53):
Way more than that. Shenon's going to look it up.
Speaker 1 (40:56):
Should we move to Switzerland?
Speaker 2 (40:58):
I'm thinking maybe we should, just cause they seem happy neutral. Yeah,
they're like it's what they're them for being neutral and positive.
I mean they have a plus sign on their flat.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
What what's the cuisine of Switzerland? That would be a
we have in the US.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
We have three hundred and forty two million.
Speaker 1 (41:19):
Okay, that's a little different, so yeah, crazy, Okay, So
I'll I would consider Switzerland, but I don't like, I
don't think like I want to go on vacation there
to try their food because what is their food? Well,
we're gonna look that up. Okay, what is it like? Well,
Shannon's looking up a Swiss cuisine? Cuisine?
Speaker 2 (41:39):
Do they have Swiss cheese?
Speaker 1 (41:41):
Like Swiss cheese? But I do? Is that a pretzel?
I know that's like a German thing, But is that
just like a soft pretzel?
Speaker 2 (41:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (41:49):
Or like a leaner schnitzel. You just wanted to say
that I did.
Speaker 2 (41:54):
Okay, Okay, Well Shannon already found it, so we'll do
the other thing in a second. But popular Swiss cuisine
is by hearty Alpine influenced dishes featuring generous amounts of cheese, potatoes,
and bread.
Speaker 1 (42:06):
Okay, I can do that, Yeah, I can do it.
I'll move, let's go. I had two more bunkers.
Speaker 2 (42:12):
We're going population nine million plus two more? Oh wait
and cat and you're having a baby, so I have.
Speaker 1 (42:19):
To bring my husband. Yeah, I can't take the baby.
That's kidnapping. If you take it away from the father.
Speaker 2 (42:25):
Well he can come too.
Speaker 1 (42:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:27):
Is speaking of other ways of being? I came across
four Victorian inspired phase phrases for dealing with men, and
these just made me laugh. Okay, did you watch Bridgerton? No?
You know, I love Gilded Age and I didn't.
Speaker 1 (42:42):
Watch any of those like Olden Days shows. And I
don't know why. Part of it is I have a
hard time understanding what they're saying.
Speaker 2 (42:49):
Really well, I'm speaking ill because it's not really You're done,
That is not what I mean. I just feel like,
really because it's not like it's some crazy accent that's
like or you could just put the subtitles one like
what the Help.
Speaker 1 (43:09):
I never have tried. I just remember watching the what
was it The Crown? The Crown, and that was hard
to follow for me. Right, You're like, yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:22):
Okay, so this is just formal Okay, speaking Victorian, you
know proper. So if your man is talking to you
in a condescending way, this is what you can say
to him. You appear most committed to the sound of
your own voice.
Speaker 1 (43:38):
Isn't that cute? Yeah, I'll say that to past, but
you just say it with it you like an English accent.
Speaker 2 (43:44):
I just feel like it's like proper.
Speaker 1 (43:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:46):
But okay, you appear most committed to the sound of
your own voice.
Speaker 1 (43:50):
You know what I've been looking up because I'm watching
a show that is we have to have the subtitle song.
It's broad Church. It's in England, I'm pretty sure. And
you can't like some of the some of the words,
we don't have that word like, they're just they the
way they say things are, It's just everything is either
cuter or sweeter or like meaner. Like maybe because it's
(44:14):
not my language, but I'm envious of it.
Speaker 2 (44:16):
Do you know the happiest language this is just from
the Dome. Don't quote me because maybe research has changed.
I guess yeah.
Speaker 1 (44:22):
Australian.
Speaker 2 (44:23):
No, No, that's English, Spanish, Ah, it's like the happiest,
like you.
Speaker 1 (44:28):
Know, yeah, And the angriest I feel like would be
German yeah, or Russian.
Speaker 2 (44:36):
Freaks me out, maybe because those places are both freaky.
Speaker 1 (44:39):
I wonder I feel like German the way they have
to talk, they have to be so like direct. Yeah,
the words you have to say them so like.
Speaker 2 (44:47):
Oh yeah, okay. When your man is defensive, your fragility
is most revealing.
Speaker 1 (44:56):
I feel like that might make him more defensive.
Speaker 2 (45:01):
When he won't apologize, accountability appears beyond your current capacity.
Now I feel like it turned into a Southern Bell.
Accountability appears to be beyond your current capacity.
Speaker 1 (45:13):
You're good that.
Speaker 2 (45:15):
Who was the girl from White Lotus? What would she say?
What would she say?
Speaker 1 (45:18):
I love talking to I never even watched that, but
I knew that. And there's another thing she would say?
Was the named Parker Posy. I think that's the actress.
Oh that's not her name in the show.
Speaker 2 (45:31):
I think it's her real name. And she was fabulous
as that character. Sounam me the final one when you're
done dealing with his Oh wait, hold on, I have
another one for when he won't apologize. Sorry, there's two options.
This conversation has reached its natural demise.
Speaker 1 (45:48):
That sounds like a robot. This conversation has reached its
natural demise. I've start of lost my victory self implowed.
Speaker 2 (45:57):
I sort of lost my Victorian era when I mixed
with Southern Bell. This conversation has reached its natural demise. Okay,
when you're done dealing with his bs. I have two
options for you. I take my leave of this foolishness.
You may continue alone.
Speaker 1 (46:16):
That's a good one. You may you may continue and
that still sounds to me like a robot. You may
continue alone. Goodbye, You may continue alone.
Speaker 2 (46:28):
Mandarin, Chinese, German, Arabic, Russian, and Korean are frequently cited
as sounding the most aggressive when they really they could
be saying something so sweet and nice, but it just
sounds a little more.
Speaker 1 (46:41):
I like listening to people.
Speaker 2 (46:42):
Spanish, Yeah, yeah, they have more like sas caliente riba.
I wish I had really paid more attention in Spanish.
Spanish was ranked number one, followed by Portuguese, English, Indonesia
and French. Oh if I could speak French. I've never
(47:04):
even been to Paris, but I want to go there
and have a croissant.
Speaker 1 (47:10):
I feel like French is not my favorite language. It
feels yeah. Italian, I feel like it was very very pretty.
Speaker 2 (47:20):
Give me some Italian because I can't, like, I.
Speaker 1 (47:23):
Can't go that's it.
Speaker 6 (47:27):
Pam balonese, pasta prima vera, oh madn okay okay, okay,
But yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1 (47:39):
Know, like I can't say a sentence. I know a
couple of words, and I know a curse word, and
that's about it. You can say a curse word, which
one well, I don't know if it's an actual Well,
now I'm blanking on it. It's something my grandma always says.
I don't know that it's it's what I don't Never
heard that vava culo, but I don't know if it
(47:59):
was like a sla. My grandma also taught me this word,
and now I can't remember what it was, but it
meant you look It's something you'd say if you look
like a mess. And the translation is you look like
a cat sprayed across the wall, splattered on the wall,
A cat splattered on the wall. That was like the
English translation. But it meant like you look like a mess.
But I can't I don't. That's not helpful because I
(48:21):
don't remember what it is.
Speaker 5 (48:22):
Sorry.
Speaker 2 (48:23):
I remember when I went to Africa, if they wanted
to compliment your outfit, they would say you.
Speaker 1 (48:26):
Looked smart, ooh thank you smart. Smart.
Speaker 2 (48:31):
That means I get think.
Speaker 1 (48:32):
Was that that was a word or they thought that
smart man.
Speaker 2 (48:35):
That's how they said, like, oh beautiful, it was smart
or like you look nice, smart, but I don't know
that wasn't what did they speak in Kenya?
Speaker 1 (48:44):
It's like, do you want to know a fun fact
about Italian that I learned when we went I think
it was two and.
Speaker 2 (48:52):
That's duh, duh tangible. So I don't know that my
brain is working this episode, so I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (49:03):
That's okay, that makes it better.
Speaker 2 (49:04):
It's priceless.
Speaker 1 (49:07):
So when Italian, you learn Italian. Just because you learn
Italian doesn't mean you can go to Italy and speak
Italian everywhere, because every single like little city or like
suburb or whatever has a different die dialect. And so
when we were in Cortona, we went and did this
cooking class and we were talking to the people that
live there and she was like, if you go one
(49:28):
town over, I might I have. That's why Italians talk
with their hands so much, because the word that I
might use for road might be a different word that
they use for road. So we talk with our hands
to explain things so we can understand each other. So
learning Italian in high school or if you take an
Italian class doesn't mean that you're going to be understood
in certain areas or that you'll understand right certain areas.
(49:50):
And I thought that was so interesting because English is here.
It's just English. I mean there might be like slang words, but.
Speaker 2 (49:59):
I mean we would say like pop coke soda pop.
Speaker 1 (50:04):
Yeah, but we would all understand that, like highway road free.
Speaker 2 (50:08):
Some people say freeway.
Speaker 1 (50:10):
But we understand what that. If somebody were to come
and say freeway, we would understand what that.
Speaker 4 (50:14):
Matt.
Speaker 2 (50:14):
Yeah, I also talked with my hands a lot.
Speaker 1 (50:16):
Are you talking? Well, maybe it's just part.
Speaker 2 (50:18):
Of my No. I believe I'm Irish, which didn't end
up on a friendly or a aggressive list.
Speaker 1 (50:26):
The language, Well, don't don't Irish people speak English Ireland?
I think they speak English. I mean I could be wrong.
Speaker 2 (50:36):
But that their their accent is very different.
Speaker 1 (50:40):
Yes, oh oh oh, can you do an Irish accent?
Speaker 2 (50:43):
I just did?
Speaker 1 (50:48):
I did?
Speaker 2 (50:49):
I said Ireland Ireland from they.
Speaker 1 (50:54):
Say like day and bar the perk or the gurden
the garden instead of I've watched a video trying to
learn the accent of Irish because I feel like that's
such a fun accent that in Australian, but it's so hard,
and it was something about like instead of a ar
(51:15):
it's like e er so that they say, would you
like to go to the perk or the gurden?
Speaker 2 (51:20):
Yeah, the of the gurden? Okay, well, but yes, be
talking like this. I don't know if I'm bither at
this because my sister and I did it so much
growing up when we would say, oh, sister, I don't know,
do you know where father is?
Speaker 1 (51:31):
Like, we talked like this all the Time's natural.
Speaker 2 (51:33):
We'd like, go order our food in public this way.
Speaker 1 (51:38):
People were like, uh, somebody calls some help, right, I
thought of the curse word, so.
Speaker 2 (51:46):
Well, if it's in another language, it's fine.
Speaker 1 (51:48):
It's fun goal, which means I think the F word.
Speaker 2 (51:52):
Hmm.
Speaker 1 (51:53):
So my grandma could say that, and it's not like
she was cussing because I didn't know what I met. Right,
The more you know, I could be wrong though, so
fact check me or don't or just let me live.
Just in the live your life, speak how you want,
do your thing?
Speaker 2 (52:10):
Okay, well, good, perk of the gurden.
Speaker 1 (52:15):
Try to say something else. With the Irish accent. It's
very to say do you want.
Speaker 2 (52:22):
Lucky?
Speaker 5 (52:23):
Erm?
Speaker 1 (52:23):
Wait, what is it the slogan they're after my They're
after me lucky terms there after me lucky terms.
Speaker 2 (52:30):
Okay, yeah, I guess that's all I got to say.
Speaker 1 (52:32):
Do you want to go to lunch? Do you want lunch?
All I have in my head is do you want
to go at the lunch? And now now I sound
like Dracula. Think about do you want to go at
the lunch? Think about how hard it is for actors.
Speaker 2 (52:48):
I don't know how they do it. How did they
do It's like a gift. Yeah, obviously one we don't have,
like people that can sing or dance. Like impressions are
some people are so good impressions. I mean, yeah, it's crazy.
Like sometimes my algorithm will get on impressions of people
(53:08):
just impersonating different people. There's this one girl that does
a Claar Danes impression that is just so spot on.
Speaker 1 (53:13):
That's such a random impression too.
Speaker 2 (53:15):
Like the other day I thought it literally was Claire
Danes and then I was like, oh no, no, this
is that girl that impersonates her.
Speaker 1 (53:20):
That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (53:21):
And then this one guy was doing Obama but it
was like a white guy, so you knew it wasn't
Obama obviously, but it was perfect.
Speaker 1 (53:30):
Wow, you almost could pass as him if.
Speaker 2 (53:33):
My eyes were closed, right, But even his facial expressions,
look in the pauses like it wasn't just the words,
it was like the pause and the like it was
everything was perfect.
Speaker 1 (53:46):
And like Eddie on.
Speaker 2 (53:47):
The Bobby Bone Show, he can do really good impressions
of like Luke Bryan.
Speaker 1 (53:52):
Isn't that just like contracts though?
Speaker 2 (53:54):
No, he really sounds like Luke and then it's not
just like oh Brian, like he really sounds like him,
and then or like Disney characters and stuff like he
can like goofy people can sound like those characters. It's crazy.
I don't have that gift. Trying to figure out my gift.
Speaker 1 (54:15):
Honest. I was gonna say that could be something you
learn and like improv.
Speaker 2 (54:20):
No, I don't know. I think it's like it's again,
I couldn't learn how to sing it improv.
Speaker 1 (54:25):
Yeah, but you might learn how to do impressions. I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (54:28):
I think the only one I have is Russian Russian ceister.
Speaker 1 (54:34):
That's like mediocre at best. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (54:37):
Okay, well there you go.
Speaker 1 (54:39):
Yeah that's fun. Okay. Well, we hope wherever you are
that you have the day you need to have. Bye 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 got your cob and locking no brother ladies
and peons, do you just follow an the spirit where
it's all the fus front over real stuff, tell the
chill stuff and the m but Swayne, sometimes the best
thing you can do it Jill, stop you feel things.
(00:27):
This is feeling things.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
With Amy and Cat.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Happy Tuesday. Welcome to feeling things. I'm Amy and I'm
Cat and I'm ready to just get to the feelings
because I know that you have a bone to pick
with me, and I don't know what the bone is,
but I just want to get through the feelings. And
I don't know if that has to do with your
feeling or what. But let's go.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Okay, lego, Okay. So I will say this is a
little taste of your own medicine. Okay, Okay, from when
you told me that we needed to discuss something and
then left me on red and I was freaking out
about it.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Right, I just sent you a text because I needed
to talk about something, but it was really not a
big deal.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Well neither is this, Okay, Okay, Well, I will say
my feeling of the day I have two, I feel
very grateful and that's because of all of the like
comments and messages and emails we got after I announced
my pregnancy where they were so sweet and I was
texting you and I was like, the people that are like,
I don't even know you and I'm crying. Yeah, that
was so sweet and that meant a lot. So that's
(01:22):
my grateful I am going to use the feeling in
because I'm not I'm intrigued. I'm intrigued, and this is
my bone to pick with you. Okay, we have been
talking about the past couple weeks or so Love is Blind,
and I have been suggesting shows for you to watch,
such as Traders, and you have been very anti both
(01:46):
of these shows, right, and then I open Instagram and
I see that you are watching Age of Attraction. Yes,
so how did we get there? Because from my person
effective Age of Attraction I could not even click on that.
It gave me the ick. It is felt so cringe. Okay,
(02:09):
So if you are so uninterested in these wonderful shows
such as Strainers and Love was Blind, what got you
interested in Age of Attraction? Well?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
I was sucked in through an Instagram click. Actually, of
this woman and a man, but he's way younger, so
a boy, but that feels weird. He he's a young man,
a young man in his late twenties and a woman
in her late fifty or mid fifties.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Think I got the same video.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
So I got this video and they weren't telling us
the age of these people. They were just showing that
they were having a connection. And it was like, well,
how does she and how does he? So then I
got sucked in because I needed to know. I needed
to know the age difference. And so the only way
for me to find out is to watch.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Okay, well, and for people who don't know what we're
talking about, Age of Attraction is a dating show on Netflix,
and from my understanding, it's you just date a bunch
of people you don't know what their ages are, and
at the end you tell tell you so.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
They bring everybody together and you have to do like
these little speed dates or go on these types of dates.
Only one rule, you cannot discuss your age.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
But like I think part of my thing was like
you have to know they're like.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Right, it's kind of obvious, right, yeah. Yeah, Well, so
that one particular couple that I'm talking about, like I
won't say their names or who they are, so it's
not like a really spoiling anything. It's been all over
the internet. But he ended up being older than her son,
than her oldest son, Like that would be weird if
(03:47):
I was her son younger.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
How did I say it older?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
He ended up being older than her oldest son? Maybe
I said youngest son.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
That's not that's good, that's not you want. You want
the boyfriend to be older than the kids. Okay, So
was I younger than her kids? Okay? Maybe maybe you're right?
I get it now. I was like, am I hearing
this wrong? Or what's going on? Is this the trunk?
(04:20):
That's normal? But okay, you're right, you're right, you're right.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Fine, we'll make them the same age, even though, yeah,
that's weird. They're they're a year apart or something. I
can't remember obviously if he's older or younger, but they're
only a year apart. It reminds me of when my dad,
his fourth wife, my brother brought a girlfriend to dinner
and my brother's girlfriend was older than my dad's wife.
(04:51):
Now that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Right, yes, But was his girlfriend a lot older than no?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Not a lot.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Your dad's wife was a lot younger.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Yeah, like it would have made more sense for my
brother to be dating my dad's wife.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Wow's there? Wait, So do these people stay together after
they find out that they don't know?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
I don't know, and I'm not going to be that
invested in the whole thing. Don't like pick too many
bones with me about this, because it's not like I'm
obsessed with the show or anything, Like I don't know
if there's season two that I'll watch the finale tomorrow,
the finales tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
But you watched all the episodes.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Yeah, I had it on the back, you know how
I watched shows like that, Like I was doing things
those computer like walking in and out. But I watched
it enough. But it's interesting because Netflix normally rolls things
out all at once, but this has been in That's
how they did Love Is Blind, where it was like, oh,
three episodes, than two, then two, than one, then one
the night whatever.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Okay, So I will say that I think it's must be.
On TikTok they're posting Netflix is posting videos of the
age reveals, so they're kind of giving spoilers. Yeah, on TikTok,
so I will say this.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Shannon looked it up this particular couple. She he's fifty
four and he's twenty seven, and he's two years younger
than her oldest son, So that makes sense he's younger. Like,
so if he's twenty seven, she has a son that's
twenty nine. And I don't know why that was confusing
me to say I was really doubling down too.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
I'm like, no, it's like, am I crazy? I don't know,
y'all are like he should be older this show? Also,
did you feel weird about it at any point?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
No, everybody's they're all adults.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
And they surely have to be on Are they on
there to find lover? They're on there to become Instagram influencers.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I mean, this guy was a software salesman and she's
a stylist.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Well, maybe she wanted more clients and so she went
on this Netflix show. Well if your parents went on
this show, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
I mean, maybe it could be fun, maybe not.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
You could get a new friend.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Yeah, I will say if it was reversed and like
the fifty four year old was a man and the
twenty seven year old was a girl, i'd be way
more creeped out.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Yes, well that does I think that happened too, right.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Sure, but this was the couple that got me to
watch the show. Okay, like, this is the couple that
you know. I don't know if it was reversed, i'd
been like, yuck, I'm not watching, but instead I was
like intrigued.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
I wonder if any couple has got together that were
like normal.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
There are two that I watched. They seemed relatively the
same age. She was definitely younger than him, but not
by much, like thirty years. It wasn't anything crazy or yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Okay, well I just need to talk about that because
I was a little offended that you were too good
for my shows, and then you were watching.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
This right now. Well, I am feeling affirmed. And since
I'm struggling with making sense today, this may not make
sense at all, but I feel like it's it's affirmation
but a little bit of the place oh effect. Okay, Okay,
let me explain it to you and then you tell me. Okay,
so I was at pilates and they were like you,
(08:10):
good job, Amy, and you know what's my love language? Exactly?
So if I get affirmed during class. What do you
think that does for me?
Speaker 1 (08:20):
I'm doing a good job. I'm gonna work harder, Like
I guess I'm a star plates princess. I'm gonna work.
I'm coming back tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Watch you thought my form was good there, watch it now.
So then we move on to a different move and
they're like yeah, okay, yes, oh that's it Amy, And
I'm like, okay, I got it again. Then throughout class,
I mean there was three or four times where I
got called out. Well, then you know, they give you
wipes at the end of class, sous you wipe your
(08:49):
bed down and then over by the trash can you
throw away the wipe. Well, normally always on top of
the trash can. Normally always that's I think that's okay,
normally always, I think it's contradicting.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
I didn't get any red flags.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Normally they have this sheet of the all the beds
and whose name is on each bed, so that the
instructor knows. So probably so they can call people out
and be like, good job Amy, nice form, Amy, ooh
looking good Amy. Guess how many Amy's were in my class?
Speaker 5 (09:26):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (09:26):
No, three, three Amy's, So who knows when they were
actually shouting me out.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
They should say like Ayby right or Amy? Yeah, but
they know they left it at Amy. Wait, that's funny,
So that instructors trobably like, yes, I can only have
to think about one name.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Right, If I say Amy, I've nailed you know most
of the class. Yeah, there's fourteen beds total, three of
them are Amy. So I was really feeling good. So
what's crazy is well, I say placebo is because some
of those weren't even for me. But yet I felt.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Did you have the urge to walk up to the
instructor and say like, so when you said good job,
it was me right? Definitely? I think she would have
been like yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
And then when I left they would say something about
me being a weirdo.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
But so, do you want some insider baseball on fitness instructors?
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Yeah, because Kat used to teach spin class.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Tell me so I taught? Yeah, I taught spin and
we had I had on my computer. I could see
the all all the people in their names, and sometimes
I would just open up that tab on my computer
because I also would play my music off my computer
and just call people's names out. But I didn't know
who they were because it's nice. It is really nice
and motivating to hear your name regardless, however, I will
(10:52):
say sometimes I would do that, but when you know them,
I would say good job, and I would mean it
most of the time.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Don't ruin this for me. I need to be affirmed
in class, does it?
Speaker 1 (11:05):
But I think this is goes to like the placebo.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Of it, like you're right, I'm not gonna know, but
now I'm gonna know.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Oh, she's probably just saying the name like to motivate
you though.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Yeah, that's I like being told I'm doing good job
and it being like I earned this. Yeah, like nice
form amy good technique.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
But I think if you say nice form, you need
to be I wouldn't say nice form to somebody if
I wasn't looking at them, because what if they're like
sitting down, okay time.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I feel like at my studio.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
They take it seriously. I feel like, well, like I'm
picturing you a spin class.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
It's like dark.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
You can't always see everybody, you know. Yeah, and I
would again, I would only say nice form or something
specific like that if I could see them. But I
might say, like, I don't know, keep it up or
something like that. When it's dark and I can't see.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Yeah. Yeah, it's never fully dark in there. And I've
never gotten to like just blanket like keep it up, Amy,
keep it up, Cindy.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Like I get my keep an actual, like I like
the lunch with your right leg Amy.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Very good, like good extension.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Amy. Did you do you know that instructor? Uh?
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yeah, okay, I mean would define no, like I've taken
her class multiple times.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Like you stay high like she probably yea, yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Like some I see more than others. Like I was
leaving the other day and one of my favorite instructors,
her name is Nicole. She was like, oh, great job, Amy,
per usual, and I was like per usual. I was like,
she thinks I did good. I wish it was like
that's my usual, that's my sometimes always.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Yeah, okay, Well, I'm glad that it felt good, no
matter it felt good, no matter what. It just made
me think.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Like there was something that Bobby said on the The
Bobby Bone Show the other day, some article I'm paraphrasing,
don't have the scientific research with me at all whatsoever,
but that obviously we know about the placebo effect, but
sometimes even just taking a candy or sugar pill or
something before bed and acting as if it's some magic
pill that's going to help you sleep, will help you sleep. Really,
(13:07):
I'm like, I gotta start trying that, Like I got
to pop a skittle and be like.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Yes, I will say when you're this is for me,
and I feel like this is somewhat universal. When you're
working out in a class like that and somebody says
your name, it's coming to my mind, is like you're
feeling seen in that space and like they know you
and you feel special. That is like a I don't know,
(13:34):
a feeling that you can't make up somewhere like it's
what's the the term I'm looking for When it doesn't
when you can't buy it with money.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
M tangible Nope, No, when its priceless, Oh.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
That's like a priceless feeling when you're like, oh, they
know me here and they care about me here and
they see me here versus like you go to a
workout class like a I don't know, this is how
I felt in like big places like a soul cycle
or something, when there's like seven I have people in
the class, you feel like just like one of the
I don't know millions and they don't really care if
(14:07):
you're there, so it's very important. I'm glad that your
intructor was calling out names. Yeah, well, because a big
part of it.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Where I go, they've generally been great at that. I
really feel like it's why I decided to sign up
even after the first time I went. You know, Kat
called me a Pilates princess a minute ago, because when
I first signed up at this place after my first class,
and they do this with every first time visitor. After
you get done, you go to your locker and open up,
and they have put a card inside that says congratulations
(14:33):
zero Pilates Princess, like you did great, good job.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
And there's little stickers and you just feel special.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
And I was like, yeah, fine, all by a year.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
When even if they do that to every single new person,
it still means that they care about every single new
person that comes in the door, versus like, oh, who
cares if they come back or not, Like we're fine.
So I like your studio and I've never been been there.
Love that. Love it.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Speaking of other things that I love that, you were
talking about how you got some nice messages from people
and notes. We have some voicemails and I love them
and they're for you. I'm nervous, so this is a
little gift to you and the baby. Okay, from our listeners,
we have a voicemail from Linda. Some people say where
they're calling from. I don't know where Linda's calling from.
(15:30):
Just picture Linda in the world.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Can I picture her like in Australias maybe.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Because you know we're international, Yeah we are, okay, so,
but I don't think she has an accent.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
But here's Linda.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
Cats having a baby, Cat having a baby.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Yay, congrattul My friends just listening to the podcast and
that was so exciting. I'm so happy for you.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Love the show.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
That's sweet. That was so okay to take your time
out to send that message and this is going to
make me cry. Yeah, is that your goal?
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Well, I think you're gonna love this next one. Okay,
this is from Kylie and she's in Alabama.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Okay, Hello, my name's Kylie. There is an Alabama and
I am feeling super excited because Kat and I are
pregnant at like the same time. Because as of right now,
twelve weeks pregnant, my baby is the size of a lime.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Have the day you need to have lives and that
means now her baby's the size of a lemon. Yeah,
because last week you were alive and this week I'm
a lemon, which my app said because it gives you
like different categories, and the fruit category, I'm a lemon.
But then it also said it was the size of
a Pokemon card. And then it also said it was
(16:44):
the size of a baby carrot, and a baby carrot
and a lemon are very different.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Very very different.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
So I'm like, is it this big or is it
this big? Isn't that crazy? Yeah, I need a new
app baby.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
I don't know, I don't know. That is really weird.
We need more details about that for sure.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
So well, I'm gonna go with lemon.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
We'll go with lemon, especially since we went with the
line last week, so we'll just go on.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
That would mean a got smaller if it's now a
baby carrot.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
We have other voicemails, but you can't play them all.
So I've got this one from Amber in Iowa.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
Hey, Amy and kat I just finished today's episode and
number one, Yes, I know Puma, absolutely love with him
and his crew. I didn't know the name of the
thing though. I'm really bad at that number two? Can
you continue doing check ins with Kat? I'm so excited
for you. Congratulations, excited to watch you become a mom.
Here you become a mom both. I don't know, but
(17:40):
it's fun and I think Amy has perfect questions since
she's never experienced that. And I also have never experienced it,
though I wanted it when I was younger, but I
dealt with the fact that I'm not happening for me. Anyways, Yeah,
those are fun check ins for as much as Kat
is willing to share, it's fun to hear you go
through it. So anyways, have a good day, have the
(18:00):
day you need to have. This is Scamber from Iowa. Thanks.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
So we've got to create little check ins that we
can do periodically, like like okay, you know, time for
the baby check in?
Speaker 1 (18:16):
We cat okay, but remember we were told that our
singing was annoying.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
We can get our I can get a jingle for
it or something like we can get an official jingle like.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Time for the baby check in with cat Okay. That
one's actually kind of cute.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Well, I feel like I could do that live every time.
It's quick too, like do do it's time for the
baby check in with cat. Okay, yeah, so the check
in today is that.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Lemon or a baby lemon?
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Are there any other things you're experiencing because I have
something I could bring up if you're not ready or prepared.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
It's about you though, my legging your gee. So yeah,
I'm in the stage where I I'm not like showing,
but I am showing, if you know what I mean. Like,
I don't have a baby bump, but my stomach has expanded,
so my clothes don't really fit and I'm just in
(19:12):
this weird in between. My jeans sometimes feel too tight,
even though some of them I can sew a button.
So I bought I've never bought something from Hilara before.
Have you seen that on? You get the ads? We
all get the ads, right, I don't know what you're
talking about. You don't get Hailara ads on your TikTok.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Is it for maternity clothing?
Speaker 1 (19:29):
No, It's like, no, these aren't even maternity jeans. These
are normal people jeans that are just really stretchy. They
do like active wear. And I've never bought anything.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Well, now that you're saying it, I'm sure I'll get
the ads.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Yeah, you're welcome. Yeah, but they are literally leggings. They're
so stretching. You saw how far I stretched them. They
look like like jeans and they're the cut of them.
I feel like a lot of times jeggings, like jean
leggings don't actually have the like shape of jeans, but
they do and I love them and they'll I think
they'll stretch with me for a while. So great purchase.
(20:04):
They're very cute, really good about them.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Your shirt is cute? Is your where's your shirt?
Speaker 1 (20:07):
From Old Navy? New Recent? I actually got this when
I was doing my egg retrieval because I when you
do the egg retrieval, your stomach looks pregnant because your
ovaries are so what's the word swollens? Well, I guess so.
So I needed really baggy clothes, so I got a
bunch of these.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Don't ask for me for words earlier. You're looking at
the word priceless, and I was like frugal, Like I
don't know what I said, but it couldn't. It was
like never near the right word what you were looking for. Oh, tangible,
You're like, what's the word, And.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
I'm like, tangible money? You can't buy it with money? Tangible,
which you can't.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Buy it with money, because I was looking at it
like because like something you can't touch. Yeah, yeah, it's
like you tried whatever I tried. So now you're like,
what's the word. I'm like, I don't know. I'm assuming
your ovaries are inflamed, woolen, enlarged.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
I guess enlarged. Why can't I think of the word
that they would use, juicy? The word juicy. I looked
more pregnant in the ten days of my egg retrieval
than I do now. It was crazy. That is crazy,
So shout out to anybody who's going through that, because
it is a I mean, that's a mind gang with
your body image. So also, I do believe Old Navy
(21:23):
is doing a half off cell right now.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Well, I might go on there and look for that
shirt because I love.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
The green boyfriend cut Oxford is what it was.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
What looks great with your stretchy jeans? I thought literally
they were maternity, but you're saying they're just for anybody.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Yeah, yeah, anybody. Because I hear that maternity jeans are
people don't like them, that a lot of people are
just wearing lower cut jeans, which I don't know if
I want to do that. Oh.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
I saw a girl that's in at our track meet
the other night and she.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Was full belly out, like little teeny tiny tank top.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
With these low rise drawstring pants and her like she
must have been eight or nine months along, like.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Giving birth any day.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
And it was interesting. I didn't have anything wrong, you know,
but there was You're like, I don't know that I
would do it. I don't think I could do that.
She looked adorable. I didn't know I could do it.
And then yeah, I feel that way.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
That's like the style now that people like their bump
is an accessory, and I think it is so cute
when I see people, because I get a lot of
tiktoks now that are about maternity style and I'm like, Okay,
those outfits are so cute, but I'm not wearing a
crop top with my belly out to work, right. I
can't do that. I just am more I think modest
than that. And I'm not at the point now or
(22:41):
that I could do that anyway, because I don't have
the bump, but it is. It's the thing. It's like
instead of a necklace, you have your baby.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Bump, you know, sure, sure, yeah's your accessory.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
It's what was that rule you have to have like
seven things?
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Yeah, the rule of seven.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
The bump is one of the things.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Earrings, purse, jacket, hat, scarf.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Bell, Yeah, baby bum baby bom So.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Shannon has confirmed Old Navy is having a STU right
now fifty off online and in store, but only till
March twenty fifth, so like one day. If you're listening
to this on Tuesday, you cant until tomorrow and then, yes,
your ovaries were inflamed, she confirmed online.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
That is what it is. That's the official There's a
word that they used though, but I'm thinking.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Enlarged, enlarge, inflamed.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
I'm trying to think of the word because they were
the Maybe it's stimulated because they're stimulating your follicles so
all of so, then they want them to be a
certain size and once they get to a be a
certain size, then you have the retrieval and they go
and then they suck them out.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Yeah that makes sense. Which also shout out Amber for
knowing Puma.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Yeah crazy love that. Wait, that means she's seen the
videos of Puma since she knows him Apple Gay or
Apple whatever the landscaping company is that he works for yeah,
because they're TikTok and Instagram famous, like they obviously have
a following because they make fun videos while they're at work.
(24:14):
And Puma, he's just so cute.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
I swear to you, if I see him, I will
be like Puma and I'm like what And Ambery knows
Puma too.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
So cool.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
This is something that came up in my therapy session
the other day, and then I saw shrink Chicks post
about knowing if you can trust yourself, like if you're
feeling like you can't, or maybe you once could and
you feel like you've lost trust in yourself. They shared
a long list of small ways you can build that
(24:45):
trust back, but I pulled five of my favorite from
the list and then put my own little twist on
them after something that came up in therapy, because my
therapist was challenging me with something I could do to
support myself a little bit in that moment, Like what's
(25:06):
one little thing you can do to support yourself? So
that might be, for example, like going on a walk,
like can you get up if I'm feeling in a
certain way. She was also celebrating and acknowledging that my
window of not my window of tolerance, but my window
of let's say I go off the rails and do
(25:27):
a behavior that like isn't in alignment with who I
want to be now, but it's like, oh, I thought
I evolved from that, right, Like why am I having
this thought? Or why did I have that behavior? Or
why did I do that? Or why did I snap
or what you know, like why was that my reaction
or why did I react and not take time to respond?
Speaker 1 (25:42):
You know?
Speaker 2 (25:44):
But I recover more quickly, and so she said that
my window of recovery is getting smaller, which is great.
She's like, that's what we want in therapy, Like we
want you to have that awareness and then you come
back to self.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Because we're going to mess up more quickly.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Right. She was like, have grace. You're human, doesn't mean
you're gonna always okay. Now that you've decided this is
who you are and how you're going to be that,
you just that's the path you stay on. And I
told her that I had a moment, but I self
corrected faster than like ever before, and she was like, oh,
let's celebrate that because your window of recovery is becoming
(26:20):
more narrow, which is what we want because some days
sometimes like who knows, you may not even be aware
of how you acted or what you did for like
a week or a month, or you may stay in
it because you did it. You might be like, oh well,
and you may stay in that behavior for or that
slump or whatever you want to call it, for a week,
a month, or however long when if you want a
(26:41):
course correct anyway, So we were celebrating that, and then
I was just like, well, now I feel like I've
lost a little bit of trust in myself, and how
do I know I can take care of myself. She's like, well,
that's one example, but she's like, what are some little
things you can do for yourself that will support you
in those moments if you're having some of those thoughts,
since she was like going outside, getting fresh air, practicing whimsy,
(27:04):
like when we've wanted to be more playful. Do I
need to take a nap? Do I need to eat something?
Do I need to drink something water? Probably not like
drinking something else. So then it reminded me of something
that the shrink chicks put up, and it's pretty much,
if you're not sure you can trust yourself anymore, these
are some ways that you can, and that was one
(27:24):
of them. To ask yourself what would feel just a
little more supportive right now? Just small shifts like that
are more than you think. What would be one for you?
If like you were feeling off, like, what something you
know you could go do for yourself that might feel
supportive to you in the moment.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
The first thing that I came to mind was take
a shower. But you can't always do that, I know, so.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Do not underestimate washing your hair too.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Yeah, today was a hair wash day. I felt really good.
But when I can't do that, well, I can't go
cause I like that reset. I'll do like an ice
roller that feels like soothing, you know, or I mean
drinking a cold glass of water. Yeah, something that feels like, yeah,
soothing and good to you.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
One of the examples from Shrink Chicks was stop rushing
yourself back to fine, because sometimes we want to. Even
though I was celebrating that, I course corrected more quickly.
I probably need to give myself space because sometimes that
might not always be the case. Or if I'm in
a rut or grieving something like, oh I need to
(28:29):
feel better by this point. You don't need to necessarily
rush that we need to trust that we're going at
the pace that is good for us. Another thing was
paying attention to what your body is telling you, Like
if you're tired, hungry, tents, all of those things are
signals your body's communicating something to you. So start listening
(28:50):
and paying attention and then acting on it and be like, oh, yeah,
I ate and I felt better, so I can trust myself.
Or I drink water, I felt better.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
I took a nap and then I felt better like that, So.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
For my naps, can't go too long. I don't I'm
not a big napper anyways, but if I nap, If
I do nap and it's too long of a nap,
then it's a problem. But there's like a sweet spot
for me. It's gotta be less than thirty minutes. Why
how long are your naps?
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Well, that's a cat nap. This is also not really
fair because I just went through tremester one of pregnancy
and I was taking like two hour naps every day.
That is not normal for me. So I don't know.
I think a good nap is like forty five minutes
to an hour. Really yeah, interesting, By the time if
at thirty minutes, like I've just fallen asleep in them.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Back up, listen, don't ask me. I'm not really that
big of an napper. Give yourself permission to change your
mind is another thing, because changing your mind is evolving.
That's wisdom. Don't beat yourself up for it. You're allowed
to change your mind.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
I feel like that's something that gets people twisted in
trusting themselves when they're like, well, I now believe this,
or I now know this, or I now would do this,
and so then they're like, how do I even know
that's right because I used to think this. That's not fair.
It's like you said, it's natural to evolve, and as
we gain more wisdom, we allow ourselves to change our minds.
(30:18):
That should build more trust, knowing that I'm flexible when
I gain more information, versus I can't trust myself because
I once thought this thing.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
I feel like online isn't necessarily making it easy for
some people to change their mind. Like if someone opens
up and is sharing like, oh I was wrong about this.
There's so many comments and these are trolls, so you
should not listen to them anyways, but it's hard to
ignore when someone's like trying to publicly say hey, I
(30:48):
know da da da da, but now I'm thinking da
da da da da, instead of being like, oh cool,
like way to evolve and do some critical thinking and whatever,
instead of saying, well, you were part of this problem
to begin with, soh yeah, now you know it's like, wait,
that's not very good.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Celebrate welcoming to it's it's all yeah, it's like is
that our job to hold them accountable for those things?
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Or yeah no, and then it's so then it's difficult
for them to be like, oh, well, I guess I'm
not allowed to change my mind, which you are. Give
yourself permission to change your mind. And then the final
thing is follow through on one small thing you promised
yourself each day. So this doesn't have to be anything crazy.
It can be something manageable, you know, Like I mentioned water.
(31:31):
It could be like, okay, I want to drink six
cups of water today. Follow through on that for yourself,
and then you'd be like, okay, I can trust myself.
Or I want to go to bed tonight at nine
thirty pm. We'll get in bed at nine to twenty,
so that you're you know, yeah, do little things to
show yourself.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
You mean what you say. Yeah, I think what happens
a lot of times when people want to make a
change is they want to make all the changes at
once because you're motivated. But that's not possible. So then
that backfires because you're not going to do all of
that stuff, and so then it's like, well, never change
versus like you're saying. If I start with, like this week,
(32:11):
I'm going to go to bed at nine pm three times,
Like you can do that, but you can't go to
bed at nine pm every night, drink seventeen glasses of water,
cook all your meals at home, make sure that your
gas has car your car has gas in it before
it's time to leave to go somewhere, do all your laundry.
Like you can't do all of that stuff. This that
(32:34):
if you're going to change it at once, it's going
to gobody calming that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Have I told you my gas thing that I'm doing
my little reward? Yes, I feel like I talked about it,
but now I can't remember what it wants.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
You would love it?
Speaker 4 (32:46):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (32:48):
You don't remember? Try to guess.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Okay, I give myself picture me at a gas station.
If you're getting myself a treat.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
If you fill up your gas before you get three
quarters a quarter a quarter, then you can get a
diet coke. Yes, okay, yeah, I did it. You did
it from from the fountain.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
No, I just get a bottle or bottle or can.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
The bottle is the worst kind of diet.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
I don't know that I trust the ice at the fountain.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Huh. But that's I've never been worried about that.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
I mean, but I mean I'll go to a restaurant
and get it from the same thing.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Maybe maybe not the health code standards, they'd be different,
well not standards, but I bet that like Chick fil
A has a higher health code score than your local
Xon the gas station.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Yeah, I don't know, but I just go in and
get Yeah, either a tall boy can or the screwtop.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
I like the screwtop because that'll last.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Me a few days because I can put the lid
back on and you don't keep it in my fridge.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
But you don't go home and pour it into a
cup with ice. No, I'll just take a few SIPs
in the car.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
It's I get I get your It's not the same
fountain thrown through all the way fountain, diet coke, can,
diet coke, then bottle.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Yeah, but you're right. If you have a can, you
have to drink it all then.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Right, you can't if you've got the bottle. So anyway,
that's if.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
You are trying to mess with your reward, that's really great.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
Second, if you struggle with getting gas, because I am
a get gas when my car says refuel immediately. So
my car goes you know empty or like close to
getting empty, and then it'll send me a message on
the dashboard that says please refuel, and then it will
go refuel immediately. And that's normally when I get gas.
(34:40):
But as of the last six months or so, I
have been going and if I get there and I
still have a quarter of tank left, I get my
diet coke treat.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Have you ever ran out of gas on the road? Yes, recently. No.
Was this a teenage thing? Yes, okay, that's appropriate, but.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
I mean I've been close, yeah, and it's not. People
always love to send messages because when I'm like, oh,
I'm on it, please refuel, I'm like, oh, Instagram, like,
I don't know why that's.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
Something daredevil at me. I'm so edgy I don't know.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
That's why that's one of my most viral videos ever
has to do with the guest tank.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
I think it has over eleven million views. Well that's
like kind of rage bait. Don't you think why when
you post a picture and you're like have negative that
gets people riled up?
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Well? I did like a video where I did like
I married my video up with another girl's video from TikTok.
I can't remember her name, but I gave her credit
in the video. It wasn't like just like oh, but
I pulled her video like she says. She said in
her video, do you know why I keep my gas
tank on e? And she's like, because if anybody gets
(35:46):
in my car and you know, puts a gun in
my head and is like just drive, She's like, where
am I gonna drive besides the gas station so that
I can get out of my car and run, you know.
And so I did a little like stitch video with
her where I was like, anytime I'm nearing empty, I
think of this woman. And then I played her clip
(36:08):
because it's like, do I really want to get gas?
Because what if I get taken? And then I'm like, well, sorry,
we're going to need to go to the gas station.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
Having gas in your car essentially could end your life exactly.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
They could get they could drive all the way to
the country rural parts.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Yes, and then you're really then you're in the middle
of nowhere.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
I think about that a lot when I'm in the land,
like if I'm somewhere, like if i'm ever well, if
I'm driving where there's lots of land, or looking at
homes that have lots of land. To die here, No,
I don't think I could die. I think are there
bodies there?
Speaker 1 (36:44):
We wouldn't know.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
And then you know, I don't know if this is
on your algorithm, but a lot of bunker stuff is
showing up on my algorithm. I don't know if this
is on your algorithm, but a lot of bunker stuff
(37:06):
is showing up on my algorithm. Of people who built underground.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
Bunkers, we very different.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
And I strongly believe anybody that is building an underground
bunker needs a background check. Why because now you're telling
me you have this very discreete oh container under in
your backyard that has like this hidden trap door you
could hide with all these living amenities where they could
totally live like life down there, like you could be
(37:35):
hiding somebody.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
That's fair. I was thinking, I need to find a
friend that has a bunker just in case. Yeah, same,
I don't know anybody. I also are the people that
are doing bunkers are they kind of trying to keep
that on the deal because.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
If they need them, some aren't because I mean, but if.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
They need it, they don't want people to know because
they don't want them all up in their.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
Showing up, Like, hey, I know you have a bunker.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
Yeah, and it's like one more mouth to feed more
person just in the cot mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:03):
I don't have this on my algorithm though.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
Really is it?
Speaker 1 (38:08):
I wonder is it because you're watching Paradise?
Speaker 2 (38:11):
I got intrigued because this one bunker guy popped up
my feed.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
Who's built them?
Speaker 2 (38:16):
For all the billionaires like Zuckerberg and everybody else?
Speaker 1 (38:19):
Okay, that brings up a whole other I don't know
why I got so.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
You had a visceral reaction, Yes for you, sweating cat,
just how my palms.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
Are getting Ah wait, bit for some reason, billionaire and
bunker freaks me out because they already get away with
so much stuff because they have billions of dollars. Yeah,
that I'm like, they don't get to have a bunker
because they could be doing If somebody's going to do
something with a bunker, I feel like it's going to
be that. That's very judgmental, and I acknowledge that and
(38:54):
I will work on that. And that is how I
feel right now.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Well, I don't know if this is true or not,
because again it was just in my algorithm, but there
apparently is some secret Paradise esque type bunker situation that
all the wealthy people have. I'm not talking about Zuckerberg.
I'm talking about just maybe not billionaires, but maybe they're
multi multi millionaires and there's this community of where they
(39:19):
will know but as should they need to. They bought
in and it exists somewhere in America. Yeah, like a
prestigious club that you can get into hold your slot.
I mean, ronal, what a racket be Like, Oh yeah,
to all these people with money, you just act like
you have this Like.
Speaker 4 (39:41):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
Let's hope so because they're whyse with their money? Obviously,
most people that wealthy don't just have the wealth because
they're well, unless buying bunkers sight unseen.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
Unless they've just been gifted that money through you know, inheritance. Yeah,
which they could still be wise with their money. But okay,
is that on your algorithm that you're seeing that because
I didn't. I've never heard this, Okay, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
That's why I'm true. Also Switzerland, I believe I talked
about this on the Bobby Bone Show. I think they
have a shelter for everyone in their population.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
Well how big is your population?
Speaker 2 (40:19):
Well, I don't know exactly, but still to have something
and then some and they have extra space, but it's required,
like they have somewhere safe for everybody to go shelter
bunker types underground yeah or in the Yeah, in the ground,
under the.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
Ground, it's the difference. No, in the ground, not underground.
So here it is.
Speaker 2 (40:43):
Switzerland has a vast network of nuclear hardened shelters and
bunkers capable of housing its entire population of over nine
million people.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
What's the population of United States?
Speaker 2 (40:53):
Way more than that. Shenon's going to look it up.
Speaker 1 (40:56):
Should we move to Switzerland?
Speaker 2 (40:58):
I'm thinking maybe we should, just cause they seem happy neutral. Yeah,
they're like it's what they're them for being neutral and positive.
I mean they have a plus sign on their flat.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
What what's the cuisine of Switzerland? That would be a
we have in the US.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
We have three hundred and forty two million.
Speaker 1 (41:19):
Okay, that's a little different, so yeah, crazy, Okay, So
I'll I would consider Switzerland, but I don't like, I
don't think like I want to go on vacation there
to try their food because what is their food? Well,
we're gonna look that up. Okay, what is it like? Well,
Shannon's looking up a Swiss cuisine? Cuisine?
Speaker 2 (41:39):
Do they have Swiss cheese?
Speaker 1 (41:41):
Like Swiss cheese? But I do? Is that a pretzel?
I know that's like a German thing, But is that
just like a soft pretzel?
Speaker 2 (41:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (41:49):
Or like a leaner schnitzel. You just wanted to say
that I did.
Speaker 2 (41:54):
Okay, Okay, Well Shannon already found it, so we'll do
the other thing in a second. But popular Swiss cuisine
is by hearty Alpine influenced dishes featuring generous amounts of cheese, potatoes,
and bread.
Speaker 1 (42:06):
Okay, I can do that, Yeah, I can do it.
I'll move, let's go. I had two more bunkers.
Speaker 2 (42:12):
We're going population nine million plus two more? Oh wait
and cat and you're having a baby, so I have.
Speaker 1 (42:19):
To bring my husband. Yeah, I can't take the baby.
That's kidnapping. If you take it away from the father.
Speaker 2 (42:25):
Well he can come too.
Speaker 1 (42:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:27):
Is speaking of other ways of being? I came across
four Victorian inspired phase phrases for dealing with men, and
these just made me laugh. Okay, did you watch Bridgerton? No?
You know, I love Gilded Age and I didn't.
Speaker 1 (42:42):
Watch any of those like Olden Days shows. And I
don't know why. Part of it is I have a
hard time understanding what they're saying.
Speaker 2 (42:49):
Really well, I'm speaking ill because it's not really You're done,
That is not what I mean. I just feel like,
really because it's not like it's some crazy accent that's
like or you could just put the subtitles one like
what the Help.
Speaker 1 (43:09):
I never have tried. I just remember watching the what
was it The Crown? The Crown, and that was hard
to follow for me. Right, You're like, yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:22):
Okay, so this is just formal Okay, speaking Victorian, you
know proper. So if your man is talking to you
in a condescending way, this is what you can say
to him. You appear most committed to the sound of
your own voice.
Speaker 1 (43:38):
Isn't that cute? Yeah, I'll say that to past, but
you just say it with it you like an English accent.
Speaker 2 (43:44):
I just feel like it's like proper.
Speaker 1 (43:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:46):
But okay, you appear most committed to the sound of
your own voice.
Speaker 1 (43:50):
You know what I've been looking up because I'm watching
a show that is we have to have the subtitle song.
It's broad Church. It's in England, I'm pretty sure. And
you can't like some of the some of the words,
we don't have that word like, they're just they the
way they say things are, It's just everything is either
cuter or sweeter or like meaner. Like maybe because it's
(44:14):
not my language, but I'm envious of it.
Speaker 2 (44:16):
Do you know the happiest language this is just from
the Dome. Don't quote me because maybe research has changed.
I guess yeah.
Speaker 1 (44:22):
Australian.
Speaker 2 (44:23):
No, No, that's English, Spanish, Ah, it's like the happiest,
like you.
Speaker 1 (44:28):
Know, yeah, And the angriest I feel like would be
German yeah, or Russian.
Speaker 2 (44:36):
Freaks me out, maybe because those places are both freaky.
Speaker 1 (44:39):
I wonder I feel like German the way they have
to talk, they have to be so like direct. Yeah,
the words you have to say them so like.
Speaker 2 (44:47):
Oh yeah, okay. When your man is defensive, your fragility
is most revealing.
Speaker 1 (44:56):
I feel like that might make him more defensive.
Speaker 2 (45:01):
When he won't apologize, accountability appears beyond your current capacity.
Now I feel like it turned into a Southern Bell.
Accountability appears to be beyond your current capacity.
Speaker 1 (45:13):
You're good that.
Speaker 2 (45:15):
Who was the girl from White Lotus? What would she say?
What would she say?
Speaker 1 (45:18):
I love talking to I never even watched that, but
I knew that. And there's another thing she would say?
Was the named Parker Posy. I think that's the actress.
Oh that's not her name in the show.
Speaker 2 (45:31):
I think it's her real name. And she was fabulous
as that character. Sounam me the final one when you're
done dealing with his Oh wait, hold on, I have
another one for when he won't apologize. Sorry, there's two options.
This conversation has reached its natural demise.
Speaker 1 (45:48):
That sounds like a robot. This conversation has reached its
natural demise. I've start of lost my victory self implowed.
Speaker 2 (45:57):
I sort of lost my Victorian era when I mixed
with Southern Bell. This conversation has reached its natural demise. Okay,
when you're done dealing with his bs. I have two
options for you. I take my leave of this foolishness.
You may continue alone.
Speaker 1 (46:16):
That's a good one. You may you may continue and
that still sounds to me like a robot. You may
continue alone. Goodbye, You may continue alone.
Speaker 2 (46:28):
Mandarin, Chinese, German, Arabic, Russian, and Korean are frequently cited
as sounding the most aggressive when they really they could
be saying something so sweet and nice, but it just
sounds a little more.
Speaker 1 (46:41):
I like listening to people.
Speaker 2 (46:42):
Spanish, Yeah, yeah, they have more like sas caliente riba.
I wish I had really paid more attention in Spanish.
Spanish was ranked number one, followed by Portuguese, English, Indonesia
and French. Oh if I could speak French. I've never
(47:04):
even been to Paris, but I want to go there
and have a croissant.
Speaker 1 (47:10):
I feel like French is not my favorite language. It
feels yeah. Italian, I feel like it was very very pretty.
Speaker 2 (47:20):
Give me some Italian because I can't, like, I.
Speaker 1 (47:23):
Can't go that's it.
Speaker 6 (47:27):
Pam balonese, pasta prima vera, oh madn okay okay, okay,
But yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1 (47:39):
Know, like I can't say a sentence. I know a
couple of words, and I know a curse word, and
that's about it. You can say a curse word, which
one well, I don't know if it's an actual Well,
now I'm blanking on it. It's something my grandma always says.
I don't know that it's it's what I don't Never
heard that vava culo, but I don't know if it
(47:59):
was like a sla. My grandma also taught me this word,
and now I can't remember what it was, but it
meant you look It's something you'd say if you look
like a mess. And the translation is you look like
a cat sprayed across the wall, splattered on the wall,
A cat splattered on the wall. That was like the
English translation. But it meant like you look like a mess.
But I can't I don't. That's not helpful because I
(48:21):
don't remember what it is.
Speaker 5 (48:22):
Sorry.
Speaker 2 (48:23):
I remember when I went to Africa, if they wanted
to compliment your outfit, they would say you.
Speaker 1 (48:26):
Looked smart, ooh thank you smart. Smart.
Speaker 2 (48:31):
That means I get think.
Speaker 1 (48:32):
Was that that was a word or they thought that
smart man.
Speaker 2 (48:35):
That's how they said, like, oh beautiful, it was smart
or like you look nice, smart, but I don't know
that wasn't what did they speak in Kenya?
Speaker 1 (48:44):
It's like, do you want to know a fun fact
about Italian that I learned when we went I think
it was two and.
Speaker 2 (48:52):
That's duh, duh tangible. So I don't know that my
brain is working this episode, so I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (49:03):
That's okay, that makes it better.
Speaker 2 (49:04):
It's priceless.
Speaker 1 (49:07):
So when Italian, you learn Italian. Just because you learn
Italian doesn't mean you can go to Italy and speak
Italian everywhere, because every single like little city or like
suburb or whatever has a different die dialect. And so
when we were in Cortona, we went and did this
cooking class and we were talking to the people that
live there and she was like, if you go one
(49:28):
town over, I might I have. That's why Italians talk
with their hands so much, because the word that I
might use for road might be a different word that
they use for road. So we talk with our hands
to explain things so we can understand each other. So
learning Italian in high school or if you take an
Italian class doesn't mean that you're going to be understood
in certain areas or that you'll understand right certain areas.
(49:50):
And I thought that was so interesting because English is here.
It's just English. I mean there might be like slang words, but.
Speaker 2 (49:59):
I mean we would say like pop coke soda pop.
Speaker 1 (50:04):
Yeah, but we would all understand that, like highway road free.
Speaker 2 (50:08):
Some people say freeway.
Speaker 1 (50:10):
But we understand what that. If somebody were to come
and say freeway, we would understand what that.
Speaker 4 (50:14):
Matt.
Speaker 2 (50:14):
Yeah, I also talked with my hands a lot.
Speaker 1 (50:16):
Are you talking? Well, maybe it's just part.
Speaker 2 (50:18):
Of my No. I believe I'm Irish, which didn't end
up on a friendly or a aggressive list.
Speaker 1 (50:26):
The language, Well, don't don't Irish people speak English Ireland?
I think they speak English. I mean I could be wrong.
Speaker 2 (50:36):
But that their their accent is very different.
Speaker 1 (50:40):
Yes, oh oh oh, can you do an Irish accent?
Speaker 2 (50:43):
I just did?
Speaker 1 (50:48):
I did?
Speaker 2 (50:49):
I said Ireland Ireland from they.
Speaker 1 (50:54):
Say like day and bar the perk or the gurden
the garden instead of I've watched a video trying to
learn the accent of Irish because I feel like that's
such a fun accent that in Australian, but it's so hard,
and it was something about like instead of a ar
(51:15):
it's like e er so that they say, would you
like to go to the perk or the gurden?
Speaker 2 (51:20):
Yeah, the of the gurden? Okay, well, but yes, be
talking like this. I don't know if I'm bither at
this because my sister and I did it so much
growing up when we would say, oh, sister, I don't know,
do you know where father is?
Speaker 1 (51:31):
Like, we talked like this all the Time's natural.
Speaker 2 (51:33):
We'd like, go order our food in public this way.
Speaker 1 (51:38):
People were like, uh, somebody calls some help, right, I
thought of the curse word, so.
Speaker 2 (51:46):
Well, if it's in another language, it's fine.
Speaker 1 (51:48):
It's fun goal, which means I think the F word.
Speaker 2 (51:52):
Hmm.
Speaker 1 (51:53):
So my grandma could say that, and it's not like
she was cussing because I didn't know what I met. Right,
The more you know, I could be wrong though, so
fact check me or don't or just let me live.
Just in the live your life, speak how you want,
do your thing?
Speaker 2 (52:10):
Okay, well, good, perk of the gurden.
Speaker 1 (52:15):
Try to say something else. With the Irish accent. It's
very to say do you want.
Speaker 2 (52:22):
Lucky?
Speaker 5 (52:23):
Erm?
Speaker 1 (52:23):
Wait, what is it the slogan they're after my They're
after me lucky terms there after me lucky terms.
Speaker 2 (52:30):
Okay, yeah, I guess that's all I got to say.
Speaker 1 (52:32):
Do you want to go to lunch? Do you want lunch?
All I have in my head is do you want
to go at the lunch? And now now I sound
like Dracula. Think about do you want to go at
the lunch? Think about how hard it is for actors.
Speaker 2 (52:48):
I don't know how they do it. How did they
do It's like a gift. Yeah, obviously one we don't have,
like people that can sing or dance. Like impressions are
some people are so good impressions. I mean, yeah, it's crazy.
Like sometimes my algorithm will get on impressions of people
(53:08):
just impersonating different people. There's this one girl that does
a Claar Danes impression that is just so spot on.
Speaker 1 (53:13):
That's such a random impression too.
Speaker 2 (53:15):
Like the other day I thought it literally was Claire
Danes and then I was like, oh no, no, this
is that girl that impersonates her.
Speaker 1 (53:20):
That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (53:21):
And then this one guy was doing Obama but it
was like a white guy, so you knew it wasn't
Obama obviously, but it was perfect.
Speaker 1 (53:30):
Wow, you almost could pass as him if.
Speaker 2 (53:33):
My eyes were closed, right, But even his facial expressions,
look in the pauses like it wasn't just the words,
it was like the pause and the like it was
everything was perfect.
Speaker 1 (53:46):
And like Eddie on.
Speaker 2 (53:47):
The Bobby Bone Show, he can do really good impressions
of like Luke Bryan.
Speaker 1 (53:52):
Isn't that just like contracts though?
Speaker 2 (53:54):
No, he really sounds like Luke and then it's not
just like oh Brian, like he really sounds like him,
and then or like Disney characters and stuff like he
can like goofy people can sound like those characters. It's crazy.
I don't have that gift. Trying to figure out my gift.
Speaker 1 (54:15):
Honest. I was gonna say that could be something you
learn and like improv.
Speaker 2 (54:20):
No, I don't know. I think it's like it's again,
I couldn't learn how to sing it improv.
Speaker 1 (54:25):
Yeah, but you might learn how to do impressions. I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (54:28):
I think the only one I have is Russian Russian ceister.
Speaker 1 (54:34):
That's like mediocre at best. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (54:37):
Okay, well there you go.
Speaker 1 (54:39):
Yeah that's fun. Okay. Well, we hope wherever you are
that you have the day you need to have. Bye bye,
