[00:00:14] Speaker A: Anyway, anyway. And we're back. [00:00:18] Speaker B: Yeah, I just think that it's crazy that it's only early February and my tulips are just popping because it's so warm this year. This. This winter was not very cold. [00:00:27] Speaker A: Yeah, for sure. Also, just like, we haven't recorded in a minute, so it's nice to see your face and see what's going on. Likewise. Check the scene. I feel like hopefully everyone liked the Jaro episodes. Mom was editing them and she was telling us that just like, with the sound, I mean, obviously the sound was like, not great because Jaro and I were like, sitting next to each other and so, like, it was kind of hard to differentiate between, like, my loud sound and his, like, quieter sound. So she was having a hard time with that. But hopefully everyone enjoyed it and it was so fun and it's good to have updates. And Jaro and Sam are officially, like, in Hawaii now. And yeah, the pictures look so fun. [00:01:12] Speaker B: They just seem like they're having the best time. [00:01:14] Speaker A: I'm also just so jealous of the weather and everything else. Like, geez Louise. I. Yeah, I love that life, like snow. Life is not. Is not my life forever. No, it's not going to be me. [00:01:28] Speaker B: Can't be me. I think, like, if I could do one or two tropical trips a year and not break my bank, I would be a happier, more well rounded individual. [00:01:37] Speaker A: Yeah, 100%. Yeah. I mean, at least just like escaping. Escaping the weather, if you can. [00:01:43] Speaker B: But what does that say about, like, us wanting to live in Oregon then? Maybe we just, like, don't want to live in Oregon. [00:01:49] Speaker A: But Oregon summers are so incredible. They literally make it like the entire rest of the year worth it for me because every summer I'm like, this is the best place I've ever lived in my entire life. And then every winter I'm like, oh, my God, this is the worst place I've lived in my entire life. What have I done? Why am I here? Like, this is bananas. [00:02:08] Speaker B: What have I done? [00:02:09] Speaker A: But anyway, yeah, we love Oregon, so hopefully K Flor and Andrew don't move too, too soon. Yeah. So we'll see. We'll see what happens. [00:02:19] Speaker B: It definitely can't be moving anytime in the next, like, five, maybe eight to 10 years. Life is life. Let's be honest. [00:02:29] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:02:29] Speaker B: Crazy. I feel like this last week I had a lot of people reach out to me on Instagram about because I'm doing like all these posts and whatnot and it's just so cool to like, catch up with people again. So I love it. I don't know if people are listening and then also going and, like, liking my stuff on Instagram, but just know that I appreciate all the support and all the help. That's sweet. [00:02:49] Speaker A: Yeah. Awesome. And also, it's just like. Yeah. Connecting with your Instagram people as well to, like, potential. Find potential people you can work with. Like, that's really nice. If you want to work with Kefler, just hit her up. Just let her know. Yeah, she would love to chat with you. It's also just fun to her to call you, like, some random time, and. [00:03:07] Speaker B: You guys get to, like, two or three times. Just, like, work on my language. Yeah, it's so funny. [00:03:14] Speaker A: No, it's great. Yeah. If I had. If I had any money whatsoever, I would work with K Flare. Just. Just so everyone knows you are working. [00:03:23] Speaker B: With me just inadvertently, because I'm always here to help and just, like, give you advice or, like, help you through whatever you have going on in life. [00:03:31] Speaker A: I got you, girl. Thank you. Appreciate it. And we're gonna be okay. Our. This millennial. These millennials are gonna be all right. [00:03:38] Speaker B: Okay, so I told the listener earlier that we were just, like, gabbing away for the first hour and a half because it's early and my brain doesn't function until I have at least two cups of coffee. But, like, the administration is so insane. We're not even halfway through it. And, like, I have to keep reminding myself that no matter how bad things get, it's either gonna figure itself out or it's not. [00:03:59] Speaker A: Right. [00:04:00] Speaker B: Like, people are gonna pull their head out of their ass and they're gonna be good people, or we're gonna continue down this trajectory of, like, terrible people who are in positions of power making decisions that we don't all agree with. [00:04:11] Speaker A: Yeah. So these November midterm elections are going to be the most important ones. [00:04:16] Speaker B: We probably go through that every time we have a midterm election. [00:04:20] Speaker A: Oh, really? I feel like it's never been that forefront for me of, like, this is the most important one where, like, we have to flip seats and stuff, because this is. Yeah, this is our future for sure. And, like, what. What's gonna happen for the next couple years as well? Yeah, never have I been more, like, political or, like, have feelings. I mean, obviously it's like, my day to day, and, like, yeah, I totally understand the, like, ignorance is bliss situation or, like, whatever, but, like, right now it's just, like, all consuming for me. And I wish that wasn't the case because it is kind of depressing. But it's like my newsfeed, it's my algorithm, whatever, but also it's like my work life. And so like I feel like I can't escape it at all. And so it feels just like so top of mind all the time. [00:05:04] Speaker B: Just because we're like on this thread. Do you mind if I like mention something about the Tick Tock algorithm? Because. [00:05:09] Speaker A: Oh yeah, I. [00:05:10] Speaker B: So I watch a lot of the Daily Show. I watch a lot of those like commentary stuff. Have I Got News for you Is also excellent. That's with Roy Wood Jr. Amber Ruffin and Michael Yin Black and those like three individuals collectively. They're hilarious and I love watching that. But Whitney Cummings had just done something on Jon Stewart's the Daily show and I can't remember exactly what we're talking about, but the whole point is it was hilarious, it was on point, it was very relevant and I wanted to share it on Tick Tock and like have. I couldn't find the video for like an hour because I think Tick Tock is like dampening. It's definitely dampening down free speech or like different, you know, because you hear. [00:05:53] Speaker A: That they got sold like last week or whatever. Like the US finally bought TikTok and so then the entire. It was so crazy. Like as a TikTok person who posts. Yeah. [00:06:02] Speaker B: Did your algorithm get all messed up? Yes, I definitely did. [00:06:06] Speaker A: So like first of all the algorithm was messed up but like posting was also messed up. Like I had posted a video and like I don't get a lot of views ever but like sometimes my videos blow up. But like I had no views on one post for an entire 24 hour period. That is unheard of. Like even the people who are like the people who follow me, like they should at least have been seen the video, you know what I mean? So like something was definitely. They were definitely like having glitches and stuff. But they were, I'm like heard afterwards that it was because they were like trying to figure out who was talking about ice and what would needed to be dampened and what needed to be taken down. And like they were just reporting a lot of videos and like that kind of stuff. And so no one was being seen essentially, which is just so crazy. So then it's just like up because like this is the most like, I mean non political political platform you could possibly have because like it's supposed to be free speech and la la la la. But now they're taking down posts and stuff and reporting posts that are not related to whatever I don't know. So frustrating. [00:07:10] Speaker B: Also see the Kaitlan Collins and Trump like, interaction in the. On the press. They had like a White House briefing. [00:07:18] Speaker A: Who's Caitlin Collins? [00:07:20] Speaker B: Kaitlan Collins is a CNN anchor. So she's like this, a big journalist, big name. You should I follow her? I love her. I've been following her for a long time. She like covered his original. His first term. She's so. She. They've. She's definitely covered him for a really long time. Long story short, she's asking him questions about what he would tell survivors of the Epstein scandal who feel like they haven't gotten justice, who feel like they're haven't being heard because he's obviously not. Like, Pambani is deliberately withholding legal documents that they are supposed to be sharing with the public anyway. And his response was, why don't you smile anymore? You are just the worst reporter. You're blah, blah, blah. I've known you for 10 years and I've never seen you smile. Like we're totally. [00:08:03] Speaker A: I know. [00:08:03] Speaker B: Your face says everything about that. [00:08:05] Speaker A: I just. I want to throw up. That pissed me. [00:08:08] Speaker B: It was pretty disgusting. And he like yelled at her, like, because she wasn't smiling because she was asking these like really hard hitting questions. Anyway, that one really burns, like boiled my blood. I just stay at an ever present state of pissed off when I'm thinking about like him and women and what they don't deserve and how we've been treated and it's all awful. But yeah, shit's getting crazy. I mean, shit's always crazy. But that one, this was a hard week for women, for sure. Yeah. [00:08:36] Speaker A: I mean, and then all the Epstein stuff coming out. Like people are actually reading the documents and looking at who's named in them. Like one of my office mates was reading the documents and she was like, I was just literally disgusted with the things that were being said. There's like, you know, animal abuse. There's obviously lots of women and children abuse and everything. Like the people who are named, like they all need to be held accountable. But the fact that nothing is being done about it. [00:09:05] Speaker B: I know. [00:09:06] Speaker A: Actually insane. Like we have to look like the stupidest place on the planet right now. Like, how couldn't this just be like the status quo and like it just be normal? Like, oh yeah, release those documents and then nothing come of it. Are you kidding me? [00:09:23] Speaker B: Did you hear about Bill Gates and like that whole situation? [00:09:26] Speaker A: I did see it. Kind of an interview with his ex wife. Yeah, Melinda. [00:09:31] Speaker B: She was like on a podcast right. [00:09:32] Speaker A: Okay, maybe that's what it was. Yeah. But I didn't really look into it too. Too much. [00:09:37] Speaker B: Okay. So obviously he's listed there, like, thousands of times, because Bill Gates is a picture piece of, like, he's terrible. But the thing that. This is, like, stuff that you read in, like, a. Like, a fictional novel. A husband has, like, wealth and power, and he has really high connected friends, and he's going off to these, like, sex parties on the island, and it's all. [00:09:57] Speaker A: There had to be a reason why she divorced him. You know what I mean? [00:09:59] Speaker B: Yeah. And then he. There's, like, in the emails, he's asking Jeffrey Epstein to help him get medication for the STD and then secretly give it to his wife so he doesn't have to tell her that he cheated on her and gave her an std. Like, that is Hallmark movie level of betrayal. Like, that's insane. That's a deeper level of manipulation that is unfathomable. It's totally. It's totally fathomable because it's obviously, like, real life. This is the real life. We cannot trust anyone, anyone, anyone. [00:10:31] Speaker A: No, literally. I mean, after the whole, like, Sean Combs P. Diddy situation came out, I was like, these elites, man. Like, if you have money, you can bury. And that just is terrifying. I mean, Bill Gates is hard for me to swallow a little bit because I do respect the way that he manages his money and how much he gives his money away and stuff. Like foundations and stuff. [00:10:54] Speaker B: Yeah, like, definitely pushed by Melinda. Like, okay. He sees the benefit of solving, like, what is. What is he. He, like, eradicated measles or something like. [00:11:06] Speaker A: That in Africa or India. Sorry. [00:11:08] Speaker B: Like, I told. Like, I can see that level of philanthropy, and I. I recognize that. I want to respect that, but. But I also want to walk back the fact that he has so much money that he couldn't just, like, he has to do something with it. And so he's worried about his legacy. His legacy will always be tainted by the fact that he doesn't give a shit about his customers. His products are failing left and right. They didn't stay on top of innovation. He definitely, like, there. I just can't even. The level of betrayal that Melinda must have felt in that moment. I feel for her. So, like, fuck him. Fuck his money. He. He's terrible. She's awesome. And she's the one who's, like, pushing a lot more of the. She's giving way more money away than he ever did. Yeah, he's a terrible human being. Sorry, I got on my high horse. I'll get off. [00:11:53] Speaker A: No, that's fine. I mean. Yeah. What if we've learned nothing is that billionaires need to go down if people. [00:12:00] Speaker B: Learn nothing else in the Epstein files. [00:12:02] Speaker A: I know. Did you see all those memes? And it was like, guess who wasn't in the Epstein files? And there's like, Obama, like, walking crazy. Like, obviously he is a good person, but just like, oh, my gosh. Yeah, I can't. [00:12:18] Speaker B: And that's the thing for president. She should totally run. [00:12:21] Speaker A: People love her. They really do. [00:12:24] Speaker B: Wonderful. [00:12:25] Speaker A: Anyway, my. And my horrible, horrible response to that, though. Like, I would love that. Don't get me wrong. But I do not feel the state of America that we are in, that we could have a woman. Oh, yeah. And we could not have a woman of color. There's no way these motherfuckers would allow that. And so I just. Yeah. And like, I loved, like, I think Kamala is a lot more conservative than anyone would give her credit for. And she didn't even win. So, like, what does that. I don't know. It just like the state of our country is so fucking backwards right now that I like, wouldn't even. I wouldn't even like, be allowed, like, be allowed to think that way. That that was a possibility. Because I do we just need someone in there to turn this ship around, like, get back on track. And then we can think about that because. Yeah. And that's a horrible thing to say, but we are just like so far down the wrong line that it's. Yeah, I agree. [00:13:18] Speaker B: I honestly. So there's an Ed helms, like, little 10 minute YouTube thing from like 2022. It talks about how we've become such a segmented two party system. Right. Based on our history. Whatever. It's hilarious and I'll send it to you guys if you want to watch it. But I do think, like, the best thing that we could possibly hope for at the moment, probably Gavin Newsom is on the ticket. We'll see what happens in the midterms. [00:13:47] Speaker A: But he is really far, really, really far into his own little world. Like, obviously, I agree with you. I do think he is, like a great candidate, but he's pretty extreme in a lot of his ideas. I think we need someone, like, middle ground because this is what happened last time when Biden didn't step down and then they went through the totally extreme of having Kamala in there. And that was not. That was not the smartest move on the Dems choice. Like, the Dems do not, like make good decisions when it comes to this kind of. [00:14:15] Speaker B: I agree. Their whole marketing sucks. Their leadership team is in, like, chaos and turmoil. There are two different. Yeah, I agree. I think the Dems are really in a bad spot right now. But, like, the best thing that we could hope for is, you know, if Gavin Newsom is the guy to run the show, he needs to put in term limits to the Supreme Court. Like, I am so sick of these, yeah, stupid Supreme Court people thinking that they can die on the bench and that their opinion is law and they're above everyone else. That's bullshit. And the way that it fell down, like, Trump has been able to nominate and have like all the justices in various levels of appellate court systems and all is just so up from the ground up. And I feel like the legal system, that's the only way that we're going to pass, like, no gerrymandering laws. The only way that we can, like, impose, like Congress needs to impose stronger guardrails for the President. You can't just, like, have this executive power. I know, and I would really. I don't think that this is going to happen because life is just too sucky, but retribution. I think Trump signing his own, like, $150 million check from the American people to his own bank account and that stupid plane that he is going to basically just give his presidential library and have for the rest of his life. That shit goes to the taxpayers. I think he should give everything to the taxpayers. And if he really cared about taxpayers like he says he does and the Republicans do, then they wouldn't be these, you know, massive billionaire billionaires who can have sex with underage, you know, sex trafficked individuals and not worry about it. He's literally not worried about it. [00:15:55] Speaker A: Yeah. And what's scary is like, for me, as we're heated, I know, as being someone on the inside. Not inside, but just like as a federal employee and seeing the, like day to day and seeing the people who are making decisions for my department or for my bureau and the people that, I mean, either if they're puppets or if they are actually making these decisions and think that these decisions are a good idea, it literally makes my. Yeah, it makes me so angry. And it really makes me, like, think deeper on, like, what people actually think about this country because. And like the power that is given to people when they're like, given the head of departments or bureaus or things like that. And so really, like, yeah, Trump is a whole situation in itself and he should not be there, but he is Literally, just like the face of all of this, the real scary people are people like Stephen Miller and. Oh, gosh, I probably shouldn't even like, name drop right now, but, like the head of the Department of Interior and those kind of people that are making. [00:16:56] Speaker B: These, like, whatever his name is, the. Yeah, they're all awful. [00:17:00] Speaker A: Yeah. And those are the people that really scare me. And that could potentially make long term damage. And because they know what they're doing, like, they are smart. I think, I mean, quote unquote smart. [00:17:13] Speaker B: They are like, who around them, help them navigate, like, how to really make an impact. Like a really negative impact. Like the vaccine thing that they just walked back. Like, kids are not no longer recommended to get. [00:17:26] Speaker A: And then the huge measles outbreak that was in Florida that came to California. I'm like, are you kidding me right now? Like, thank you. That's all right. [00:17:34] Speaker B: That's him and being stupid. [00:17:36] Speaker A: I know. Anyways, yeah, we probably shouldn't get too. Too deep. [00:17:40] Speaker B: Sorry, we'll skip over this. Let's talk about, like, the Grammys and Justin Bieber. [00:17:43] Speaker A: I was gonna say, I feel like. Yeah. What else was happening in the news was the Grammys. I didn't actually watch. Sorry about that. But I just thought, like, the highlight reels, like, we love that Bad Bunny one. We love that Olivia Dean one. [00:18:02] Speaker B: Looks so beautiful, so cute. [00:18:04] Speaker A: I know. I just was obsessed with her all of 2025. So, like, I'm so happy that she. That she won. And I just think, like, how iconic, especially in the time, speaking of pedophiles and everything else, how fucking iconic that Justin Bieber and all that shit that's come out about him. Yes, he went through a hard time. Yes, he, like, was. Went a little cray cray, you know, as child. Child prodigies do. But he's really, like, turned around, I think, since he had a kid. And the fact that he went on the stage with the least production. He literally went out in socks and boxers and he just had his guitar and his looping system and he sang one of his songs and it was so beautiful. And everyone knows, like, he was a child, like, playing guitar, playing piano, doing all these things, like singing at a very, very young age. Like, we all know that he's talented, but just, like forgot because of all the, like, hubbub about him. Yeah. Getting sexually assaulted and him going through all these, like, mental health issues and this, that and the other, and getting caught up in whatever. Like, he. He went off the deep end there for a little bit. But, like, the fact that he like did this, like, stripped down performance at the Grammys and the fact that his guitar was purple, like, remember that Purple album when he was a tiny little baby? Like Scooter Braun when Scooter like did that. And then he actually. [00:19:24] Speaker B: Terrible human being. But yeah, go ahead. Oh my God. [00:19:26] Speaker A: Terrible human being. And the fact that he kind of just like showed it all in like a, like a very symbolic, like people are saying, like, that's very symbolic. And he like did it all on purpose. I feel like he, like, I hope that that's true but like, I also hope he. I think he just doesn't care anymore. He's like, whatever. Everyone talks about me anyways. But yeah, just the fact that all this, like pedophilia stuff is in the news right now and all the Epstein everything and then he comes out and does that is just like hard hitting, you know what I mean? Like, oh. And I can't stop watching it because he just like has such an incredible voice and we know that he has an incredible voice. It's just that it went away for a little bit and he needs to come back and he's coming home. [00:20:08] Speaker B: I would definitely, like, I wish him. I want, like, it's nice to see the recovery, like the whole. I want him to have like a very long period time where he's successful, he's happy, he's having kids, he's taking responsibility for being a man, a man within this age group. So, like, I don't know, I think that that's great. I want to continue to see him be successful, but I am also like, trauma. Traumatized from all the trauma and like, I don't know how much can I actually focus on Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber? I just, I can't. [00:20:40] Speaker A: Yeah, no, that's fair. I just. [00:20:43] Speaker B: Coming out with a new album then. [00:20:44] Speaker A: No, he did last year and it was really good and I did listen to it when it came out. [00:20:49] Speaker B: I don't even know. [00:20:50] Speaker A: Yeah, it's like I can't remember what it's called even. It's just like a black album. You would know it if you saw it, I think because I just know. [00:20:56] Speaker B: About the uk, like Dais. [00:20:58] Speaker A: Yeah, that song. But Daisies was on the black one too. I know you know Daisies. Anyways. Yeah, it was just like very cool because you know how the Grammys are a big production. Like all the, like, there's always like talk about the performances and who performs and how they perform and whatever. And he just comes out in his boxers and socks and, like. And then, I mean, not to mention the fact that I'm, like, definitely on the algorithm, but, like, I've been watching all these tick tock videos of, like, people being like, oh, I'm just gonna, like, do a little house cleaning. And they're just, like, watching him play it over and over and over again. You know, it's like, have it on the tv and it's just, like, playing over and over and over. Yeah, looping. And so I was just cracking you up, because that's literally how I feel every time I see a video of it. I just, like, watch it. I watch the whole thing through, even though I know exactly what happens. Nothing happens. He literally just sings the song and I'm just like, oh, my God, my heart. Anyways, yeah, we know Keith Lord. I go way back to the JB days, so. And Lindsay. [00:21:50] Speaker B: Yeah, that is like, 2011. 2000. No, 2008. [00:21:54] Speaker A: Oh, my God. [00:21:55] Speaker B: When he came out. Anyway. [00:21:56] Speaker A: Yeah. And he was a tiny little baby, but little. Anyways, do you have any highlights from the Grammys that you wanted to talk about? [00:22:03] Speaker B: I just think Olivia Dean looked beautiful. Bad Bunny is awesome. I just listened to, like, all, like, three or some three or four of his albums yesterday. I had friends over for game night, and we were like, well, I want to get a little bit more familiar with, like, his most recent album, so. Bad Bunny is so cool. I'm so excited to see his show tomorrow. [00:22:20] Speaker A: I. Yeah, definitely. I can't wait for his concert. Wait, I was cracking up because I did see this video and I sent it to my coworker because she was actually listening to him all week. This week as well. But it was like, me trying to learn, like, one lyric of a Bad Bunny song before the concert on Sunday. And it's like, I was cracking on. [00:22:44] Speaker B: Oh, my God, it's so funny. Find one lyric or one little cheese. [00:22:50] Speaker A: I don't know. I mean, like, yeah, no, I agree. But that is, like, literally me. I'm like, oh, yeah, I totally know this song. Anyways, yeah, we can't wait for his concert on Sunday. It's gonna be so fun. [00:23:05] Speaker B: So, I mean, like, I don't really. [00:23:07] Speaker A: I'm sure this will be out after. [00:23:08] Speaker B: That, but, yeah, I don't really care about, like, the, like, whatever. The game. No, like, that's the thing, right? Everybody doesn't care about the game. They're all, like, really excited. [00:23:16] Speaker A: I mean, the Seahawks and the Patriots have been in the super bowl like, every year for the last million years. Like, no One gives a. You know what I mean? [00:23:22] Speaker B: Like, everybody in Portland that I know is really like, go Hawks. But I don't care. I'm just excited to see, like, the commercials. I want to make fun of them and I hope that they don't. I hope they flop and that like, nobody buys their product for at least a 30 day period so that they can spend all the stupid money that, like, people don't give a crap about. And then I want like, the super bowl halftime show has such a rot history of drama and like, scandalization. Do you remember Janet Jackson in her nipple and then like Rihanna came out when she was pregnant and then Katy Perry had that whole thing, like, this is. I need it to be that level of show. This needs to be like Taylor Swift times 25. Like, I need bad buddy to show up and I want. Who do you think is, like a guest star that we would be really excited about? Like, he should have at least three or four people that like, pop up and sing a song with him, right? [00:24:12] Speaker A: Like Shakira or. I don't know. Yeah, Bruno Mars. Mom was saying, she's like. I mean, I feel like he's just so, like he could get into any kind of situation, you know, I don't know who else would be like, kind of like real relevant but also related and I don't know, have the same vibes. I don't. And honestly, like, this horrible. But I don't really know that much about Bud Bunny. I know like a few of his songs and I know how much people are upset. Obsessed with him. But, like, I don't really know that much about him. [00:24:42] Speaker B: So we should watch like the Happy Gilmore, the new Happy Gilmore movie today so you, like, you can see his face and he's not like, yeah, I. [00:24:49] Speaker A: Did watch that movie. It was good. But I didn't. Didn't even know he was in that. So I don't know what he looks. [00:24:54] Speaker B: Like obviously or something. Am I crazy? No way. [00:24:57] Speaker A: Really? Oh, funny. [00:24:59] Speaker B: I'm gonna Google it because I totally. [00:25:02] Speaker A: Watched that movie and I had no idea. [00:25:04] Speaker B: Yeah, that kid, the. I think it's his Caddy. Yeah, it's totally his busboy turned caddy character. And happy too. We should watch that again. [00:25:13] Speaker A: Wait, Got it. I did know that. Okay, okay. I mean, I didn't know that, but now seeing his face, I'm like, oh, my God. Yeah, duh. Obviously. [00:25:19] Speaker B: And then I want to watch like a couple of you. His music videos today. And then I think I'll be pretty prepped and ready. [00:25:25] Speaker A: Kepler Will know three lyrics by the time, Eddie. [00:25:34] Speaker B: Okay, but really, other than that, I don't care about the soup. The. The game tomorrow. I'm excited for the concert. [00:25:40] Speaker A: But yeah, yeah, it'll be interesting. We're going to play squares. Have you ever played squares before? Like, yeah. Matt is putting it together. I had never heard of this. Him and Brooker. I mean, it's going to be at Brooke's house, but you've never heard of super bowl squares. [00:25:54] Speaker B: They've been doing it since, like, the beginning of time. What are you talking about? [00:25:56] Speaker A: That's what everyone said to me. And I literally do not care. Like, I literally. I've never cared about football. I've never cared about the Super Bowl. I do not care. So why would I know what squares is? [00:26:06] Speaker B: But my dad is, like, a really big college football gu. So like, every year he watches all the things. So, like, I don't know. I've just kind of grown up around football. Although that's not my sword of choice. Like, I'm a baseball kid, so. [00:26:20] Speaker A: For sure. [00:26:20] Speaker B: Although I have been watching. And the Olympics. The Olympics are, like, going on. [00:26:24] Speaker A: Yeah. They started the opening ceremonies last night, but I did not see it, unfortunately. [00:26:28] Speaker B: I didn't watch the opening ceremony. Nobody really watches the opening ceremony. But I do know that there is one individual. I don't know their name. They are projected to put together. Maybe they've already done it. I need to check the first ever quadruple axel in men's figure, like, or women. [00:26:44] Speaker A: Wait, didn't I send you that video? He just did it. Yeah. [00:26:47] Speaker B: Okay. Is that you talking to me about it? [00:26:49] Speaker A: Yeah. Well, he did it in his, like, his whatever his, like, introduction to or not. What do you call it? Like, how they have to, like, get into the Olympics, like, the trials, I guess. Yeah, he did. That was the first time. Yeah, that's the first time anyone has ever done that. And he did, like, seven of them in one routine, which is banana. [00:27:09] Speaker B: So I'm excited to see him flying through the air. I'm gonna pull it up right now. I'm just watching him go, like, 17 times and then comes back down. [00:27:17] Speaker A: It's crazy. So I'm excited about that. I'm. I mean, I love the Olympics. No one really seems to care about the Olympics around me right now. [00:27:23] Speaker B: I'm kind of stressed. Okay. I really enjoy watching that kind of stuff. [00:27:28] Speaker A: I did, like, for the Summer Olympics last time, I did look up, like, all the ones that I actually wanted to watch, and they're always at, like, the Craziest times, because, you know, of course, they're, like, in Italy, which is also really cool because I was there this summer, and I got to be in Cortina, like, where all the, like, snow things are happening. Hopefully they have enough snow. Honestly, I didn't even think about that. I'm sure they would make it. But anyways, they were, like, building and building and building when I was there, which is wild. And then the other part of them is in Milan. And so I'm just excited because I got to see it, and I got to see, like, all the buildings and all the hotels and stuff that they were getting ready for the Olympics. But, yeah, I'm excited about watching some of them. I'm mostly excited about, obviously, ice skating. I really want to see Lindsey Vaughn now. Did you see that she hurt her knee? She atl. Acl. [00:28:10] Speaker B: Yeah, she had, like, a whole ACL thing, and now this is her last Olympics. Is that right? [00:28:14] Speaker A: Well, I'm assuming it was anyways, because she's competed in, like, three already, hasn't she? Yeah. [00:28:19] Speaker B: And, okay, I would think. I was surprised that she showed up at all, because the ACL thing. And then when I saw that she was gonna go, you know, we'll see what happens. But I don't think that she's gonna be doing anything beyond. [00:28:30] Speaker A: She did her practice run last night, and everyone said she looked really good, so that's great. That's crazy. [00:28:36] Speaker B: Follow her on Instagram and. [00:28:37] Speaker A: Oh, really? [00:28:38] Speaker B: Because I. I really. I think she's funny, but she's been. Everything she posts is, like, her working out. She's, like, focusing on getting her knee back because she wanted to be there, so. [00:28:48] Speaker A: Nice. What are you looking forward to watching? [00:28:52] Speaker B: So the figure, I mean, makes me sound like such a grandma, but definitely figure skating. I always love their outfits and. No, I mean, like, just the figure skating and, like, the. It's kind of like the gymnastics in the summer stuff. I really enjoy watching the gymnastics for the teams. And so, like, the figure skating is kind of on the same thread as that. And then I'm really excited about bobsled, the bobsledding stuff that's coming out, because the whole. The. The team. Jamaica. Jamaica's, like, predicted to win or something like that. [00:29:19] Speaker A: Oh, cool. I didn't see that. [00:29:21] Speaker B: Do you. [00:29:22] Speaker A: I mean, I remember that movie. [00:29:23] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah, yeah. [00:29:24] Speaker A: But I haven't watched it in a million years. [00:29:26] Speaker B: Yeah, I don't know the name of it, so if we remember it, we'll have to come back to it. But what else that's pretty much it. I. The last time that we were watching the Summer Olympics, we got into like skateboarding. We got into. [00:29:41] Speaker A: Wait, did you see that meme? Sorry to interrupt you. Did you see that meme about where it was like break dancing the first time in the Olympics and the last time in the Olympics? [00:29:48] Speaker B: Yes. That was so weird. [00:29:51] Speaker A: Yeah, that was so strange. I cannot. I cannot even with that. That's crazy. [00:29:56] Speaker B: I want to go back and watch her routine because that's so funny. [00:29:59] Speaker A: There were so many funny things from the last Summer Olympics. Remember the guy and his wiener over the pole and stuff? Like there was so many crazy memes from the last ones. Yeah. [00:30:07] Speaker B: And then Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart like trolling with gin cocktails like at two o' clock in the morning or something. [00:30:13] Speaker A: Hilarious. I'm excited too for like, I love the cross country skiing where they have to like. They're so strong. You just know that they're so. Cuz. Cross country skiing is hard and they have to like do all those relays and stuff. I love that part too, I think. [00:30:27] Speaker B: But I'm not going to pay for Peacock. I'm actually unsubscribing and not paying for any subscriptions for like Amazon can go kick rocks. I got rid of my Spotify. We don't pay for. I think we still pay for Netflix and like hbo and that's pretty much it because. [00:30:41] Speaker A: Amazing. Do you want to talk about the unsubscribe subscribe thing? [00:30:44] Speaker B: Well, I'm sure that people know about it, but I was listening to the Pivot podcast with Scott Galloway and Kara Swisher. I know that a few people that are regular listeners on our show also listen to that podcast because we talk about it all the time. And Scott Galloway makes it a point to say the only way, like as regular consumers, the only power that we have to make a difference is to pinch pennies and like make these billionaires people who. Whose pocketbooks are directly tied to how we as consumers operate. That's the only way that we're going to get things done collectively. We have to like maintain a chokehold on the economy and a chokehold on our wallets so that people know we are not okay with them being racist and fascist and pedophiles and all of these things that they are just. They don't. They don't care. So if you can unsubscribe from Amazon on all various levels, like no Kendall, no paying for Amazon prime, no Amazon tv, all of that gone. And if everybody were to do that or at least a large enough chunk of us that, like, Amazon will definitely freak out. Like, the economy can't sustain that. So, like, Spotify is also, like. I started listening to a free Spotify account, and then the first ICE commercial that came on, I deleted the app. And it, like, I can't. I can't anymore. So I'm no longer doing Spotify. What else? We got rid of Hulu. We got rid of Peacock. [00:32:21] Speaker A: I mean, remember last. Was it only last year that there was a bunch of, like, strikes against major, like, food companies? We were supposed to be, like, showing with our wallets and, like, shopping. Yeah. Or just, like, any, like, Nabisco product or whatever, because they're all the same. They're all like PepsiCo or Hershey's or whatever you want to call them. Mars. And so there's, like, a lot of, like, talk about just, like, the companies you can support. And, like, so if you're interested, just, like, do a little bit of research and, like, it's so easy to find companies and products and things like that that you can actually support that aren't, like, the devil. [00:32:58] Speaker B: And it's hard, too, because it depends on where you live. If the whole premise is to shop locally, then you are, in reality, limiting. Limiting your product selection. Yeah, right. Because you are dependent upon what products the local store is carrying. So that's kind of hard sometimes. So, like, I don't want to, like, make people feel bad that they can't. They don't have a different alternative for, like, an item that they need or, like, food or whatever. So, like, don't feel. Don't kick yourself too hard if you, like, have to buy XYZ because it's cheaper, because everything is expensive. Like, yeah, that's the thing. It's. It's hard to, like, find a balance that is okay for a majority of people. You know, some people really take a lot of solace from their Apple or their Amazon Kindle or they take, you know, like, it's just easier for them to, like, have an Amazon order because they have a life that doesn't allow them to, you know, go in person and try and find this particular item. You know, So I just want to recognize that. But. Sorry, I interrupted you. [00:34:01] Speaker A: No, no, no. Yeah. I mean, just if you're interested, do your research. It's really. It's really fascinating and scary and we. [00:34:08] Speaker B: Can post something on, like, social media or some, like, another article or something. [00:34:12] Speaker A: I mean, and, like, I like. All this to be said is like, I, like, do not. I Try to, like, not shop at Whole Foods now and like, because it's paid bought by Amazon, but, like, I still have my Amazon prime because it's like, mostly where we watch TV and it's mostly where I online shop. I mean, not that I. I try to not online shop, but like, those kind of things. Like, it's really hard for me. [00:34:35] Speaker B: I will say that either there's, you. [00:34:38] Speaker A: Know, I'm trying my best, but yeah, there's like, definitely the food situation. Like, I am refusing to shop at Whole Foods in Safeway now. And, like, I'm very specific about, like, the kinds or the brands of food that I buy also, just, like, you don't have to worry about that when you're buying, like, local, like, fruits and vegetables, which is what we should be eating anyways. And so it is like a good kind of like, mind shift of, like, try not to buy those items and then you just gravitate towards the more healthy items anyway. So like, that's been kind of like my mindset anyways, is like buying real Whole Foods and you don't have to worry so much about, like, yeah, the companies that is, like, producing it and whatever. But anyways, yeah, we're. I'm trying my best out here, but yeah, I also. [00:35:20] Speaker B: It's hard. [00:35:20] Speaker A: It's hard. [00:35:21] Speaker B: So expensive. It's not going to get any easier. It's hard. So, like, don't. I want to. If you do what you can and if. Do what you're comfortable with and don't give yourself such a hard time. Like, yeah, there's so much shame in the world already. Like, don't feel right unnecessarily shamed about stuff that that's really built for us to fail. So definitely this is like a heavy episode we had. [00:35:42] Speaker A: Like, yes. Sorry, everybody. We're just feeling a lot of feelings, I guess. I'm also feeling like I have to pee, like, so, so bad. So I think that's it for me. Should we do gratitudes and grievances? [00:35:54] Speaker B: Yeah. So Kelly can be. [00:35:59] Speaker A: We've already been here for an hour and a half, even though this podcast is not that long. Just so you guys know, we had a little chit chatty before and I've been drinking coffee and so your girl got some to pee. Do you have any? [00:36:08] Speaker B: Whole episode felt like grievances, honestly. [00:36:11] Speaker A: Yeah, that's true. [00:36:12] Speaker B: Politics. We were talking about sex trafficking. We were talking about cancel and subscribe or unsubscribe. [00:36:18] Speaker A: So that is our grievance. The state of the world, right? Now. So let's. Yeah, let's do a little gratitude. Do you have anything. [00:36:23] Speaker B: Let's do a little gratitude, and we'll kind of end on a high note. [00:36:26] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:36:27] Speaker B: Do you have anything in particular, or do we just. I have good vibes, but I can find something to be. I just have vibes. I'm just. Good vibes. Like, that's it. Like, she tries. Oh, okay. She tries. [00:36:44] Speaker A: Okay. I had a. I had a tough week. I'm not gonna lie. I've been sick, and work was really hard this week, and so I am finding it hard to be grateful. But, yeah, just grateful that for the sunshine. It really did lift up my spirits this week, and I'm grateful for boyfriend and doggy. We went on a lot of walks this week, and we just, like, got a lot of stuff done. [00:37:05] Speaker B: We're. [00:37:05] Speaker A: We're moving and shaking and actually moving, and so it's just a lot of work, and it's kind of a bummer at the same time, so just trying to, like, see the light at the end of the tunnel. Grateful for them and. Yeah. The help for this week because I was hurting. Hurting pretty bad. So, yeah. Sorry that's not more positive, but that's all I can come up with at the moment. [00:37:27] Speaker B: Wait, so what are you grateful for? [00:37:28] Speaker A: Just boyfriend and dog. [00:37:31] Speaker B: Boyfriend and doggy. [00:37:32] Speaker A: Love it. Yeah. [00:37:34] Speaker B: Oh, I want to hug you. [00:37:36] Speaker A: I know. I want to hug you too. [00:37:39] Speaker B: I'm grateful. Like, this last. So work is crazy. Work is always crazy. But I feel like this last week, I had a lot of people show up when I kind of asked for help, because I haven't really. I haven't really done that. I've just been focused on, like, taking my test and my licensing, and I. I don't care if people want to work with me or not. I just generally reach out to them because, like, I want to make sure you guys are okay. I want to make sure that you have somebody you trust, that you're looking. You're being mindful. I had a client this last week who was just asking a lot of really good questions, and it's easy to get frustrated and be like, okay, you're not listening to me. But to take a step back and really walk her through these concepts, walk her through what she's signing up for. Essentially, she took a step back and was like, I just appreciate you not, like, treating me like I'm an idiot. Like, these are questions, and I have chatgpt over here, and I have you telling me things, but, like, I need to just feel comfortable with this choice. And I'm like, totally. Let's, like, walk forward with both eyes open. You can ask all the questions that you want. I won't be able to give you a perfect scenario because that's like, hello, this is the world we live in. [00:38:45] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:38:45] Speaker B: But out of all the various options, this is the one that I would recommend. And she just was really grateful. And I had a lot of people reach out to me this week and they're just, like, supportive. So I feel a little loved and. [00:38:57] Speaker A: I want to be grateful for the. [00:38:59] Speaker B: My. My community of people who showed up for me. So I appreciate it, you included. [00:39:04] Speaker A: Thanks. Thanks for calling me. Just chit chat and jaw dropping. [00:39:08] Speaker B: I mean, we don't do that enough, actually. [00:39:10] Speaker A: I know, I know. We've been so up on our recordings that, like, we haven't really got to record in a minute. So it does feel good. [00:39:17] Speaker B: Yeah, it does feel really good. We've got a couple of guests that are probably going to be coming in the next few. Probably a couple months, honestly. And then we're going to be launching season four. [00:39:29] Speaker A: Oh, my God. Yeah. In like two more months, we're going to be. That is crazy that we've gotten this far. That is unreal. Who let us do this? [00:39:41] Speaker B: I, like, cringe. I don't even want to go back and listen to, like, our first episodes. We should just, like, stop this podcast and start fresh with a new one. Now we kind of know what we're doing. [00:39:51] Speaker A: Just pretend like this one, like, didn't exist. Yeah, for sure. [00:39:54] Speaker B: Our practice baby or something. Yeah. [00:39:57] Speaker A: 100. Anyway. Okay. [00:39:59] Speaker B: Happy Saturday. [00:40:00] Speaker A: Yeah. Grateful for you. We love you all and we'll see you next time. [00:40:06] Speaker B: We'll see you next time. Thanks for being candid. [00:40:09] Speaker A: Bye. [00:40:10] Speaker B: Bye.
