S3 - Happy Thanksgiving!! Eppy 111

[00:00:00] Speaker A: Foreign. [00:00:22] Speaker B: We have a lot of stuff to talk about. Hello. [00:00:27] Speaker A: Hello. [00:00:30] Speaker B: How is everybody? Welcome. This is Kelly. We didn't do that on the last episode. Damn. [00:00:37] Speaker A: Well, notoriously terrible at introducing one another. This is DJ K. Flare. What's going on? [00:00:43] Speaker B: DJ K. Fleur. Yes. Wait, what's my name? I can't be DJ too. [00:00:48] Speaker A: You have to. I. Last episode, I feel like I called you DJ Kelly Kinney. So we gotta find your own DJ name. It's time to like, baptize you into the DJ space. Let's make it happen. [00:00:59] Speaker B: Okay. Okay. All right. All right. Well, anyways, we'll see. We'll see where if it just like flows automatically, but yeah. Happy Sunday. [00:01:07] Speaker A: Looking for inspiration. Kelly's DJ name, folks. Get at me. [00:01:12] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Let us know in the comments. How in the comments. Today was good. Sunday was wild. I mean, not really yesterday. Okay, first of all, I had my wellness exam. I feel like we talked about this and I have. [00:01:29] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. Okay, this is a good time to pick up. Cause it's been a couple of days since I've talked to you. So like, walk me through the last few days. [00:01:34] Speaker B: Yeah, so I got my wellness exam. Everything was good. But then I also got a flu shot while I was there. She just recommended it. I never had a flu shot before. And yeah, I felt fine. My arm was like super sore, which she told me would. It would be. And. But then, like, I don't know, I guess it was like pretty delayed. Yesterday I woke up and I've been like hitting the gym like super hard lately because like we talked about on last episode, I've been feeling real chonky. So anyways, but it's just like the boyfriend 15, you know what I mean? But I have been trying really hard at the gym, so like, my whole body is. Tends to be sore. Like, I mean, mostly like legs. [00:02:17] Speaker A: And you're busy. [00:02:18] Speaker B: Yeah, I've been busy. I've been doing arms. I've been going to workout classes. Whatever. [00:02:22] Speaker A: Look at you. [00:02:23] Speaker B: Anyways, good. Woke up yesterday and my whole entire body was like tendy to the touch. Like it was atrocious. Like, I couldn't wear a bra because it hurt so bad. It was like touching my ribs in a weird way that I like, hated so, so, so much. And so I just felt awful yesterday. And I like, I had never experienced that. Like, now I like, kind of low key. I'm like, have I ever had the flu? Because that was horrible. And the only thing I can think. [00:02:51] Speaker A: Of, you were like achy and sweaty and Uncon. Yeah. All right. That's the flu, babe. That's what happens, unfortunately. [00:03:00] Speaker B: Yeah. So I don't even know. I just was trying to, you know, get through the day, basically. [00:03:08] Speaker A: We lost her. Ladies and gentlemen, the. Apparently, the world is going under in bend, and they are at the forefront of losing their entire electrical. [00:03:18] Speaker B: Did I lose you? [00:03:19] Speaker A: God, I hope that's not the case, but crazy if it would. She'll write a book about that. [00:03:27] Speaker B: Wait, what the heck? What. What just happened? [00:03:29] Speaker A: I don't know if it was recording me. I don't know. You, like, froze, and I just. [00:03:33] Speaker B: Yeah, you froze, too. Anyway, so any. I felt horrific, and so I, like, went on a dog walk in the morning with a friend, and then I did a bunch of yard work, and I was like, I literally cannot leave the couch, like, for the rest of the afternoon. I was just like, yeah, feel. Oh, crap. I don't want to say his name. I was just like, I cannot. I just want to curl up in a little ball on the couch and. Yeah. So I want to. [00:04:00] Speaker A: You don't have to say his name. You can just, like, go back and be like, boyfriend or whatever. [00:04:03] Speaker B: That's a. [00:04:04] Speaker A: Okay. But you played it off nice. [00:04:07] Speaker B: Good job. [00:04:08] Speaker A: And I ruined it. [00:04:10] Speaker B: No, all good. Yeah. So I just told him I was like, I really, like, cannot do anything. And he was, like, doing a bunch of stuff around his house, and so he was just, like, little busy bee, like, running around in circles around me. And I was like, I. Yeah, that was horrific. I don't know if I'll ever get a flu shot ever again because that was pretty brutal. So, anywho. But today I woke up and I felt fine. I mean, I took two ibuprofens last night, and then we just, like, watched a movie. [00:04:36] Speaker A: You've had Covid before? So is this, like, different than Covid? [00:04:41] Speaker B: I don't. I've always had covet as, like, a nose and, like, chest, like, cough. I've never had, like, full body pain where, like, I can't move my body, you know? [00:04:53] Speaker A: What was the flu? What was the shot that you got? Pfizer or what? Moderna. What? [00:04:58] Speaker B: I don't even know. She just, like, came in and shot me up while my doctor was, like, talking to me. They, like, Pa. Did or whatever. They're the, you know, the, like, medical assistant or whatever. So I have. [00:05:08] Speaker A: No. [00:05:08] Speaker B: I didn't even. I didn't even look at her. [00:05:10] Speaker A: I am an avid believer in the flu shot since, like, high school. I feel like I've gotten It pretty regularly. And since COVID you know, you just. But the whole body aching, every muscly kind of like it just tinges and feeling rundown and gross. Oh, every time I get covet, I feel like that. I'm so sorry. That's awful. [00:05:33] Speaker B: Whoa. That is interesting. [00:05:35] Speaker A: Nothing you can do other than just like, relaxing into it because it's sucks. [00:05:38] Speaker B: Yeah. I think. I think I would have been way more bummed if I was actually sick. It was literally just like a 24 hour, like, feel terrible. And I feel a lot better today. I'm like, definitely not 100. I woke up this morning and my whole entire nose was, like, full and running. And he was like, are you okay? I was like, I don't know. I can't breathe out of my nose. All of a sudden he's like, I can tell. [00:06:01] Speaker A: Like, I can tell. It's hilarious. He had a booger in front of him. That's so funn. [00:06:10] Speaker B: And so he was like, I have, like, some nasal spray, whatever. And I was like, oh, no, I'm not using that. Like, people get addicted to that. And he's like, yeah, but if you use it, like, a couple times, you're gonna be okay. [00:06:19] Speaker A: People get addicted to nasal spray because it's. [00:06:23] Speaker B: It's an over the counter. [00:06:24] Speaker A: Oh, my God. [00:06:24] Speaker B: Anyways, I'm not doing that. I'm not putting shit up my nose. No, thank you. Absolutely not. This is a temple. [00:06:30] Speaker A: You've never done, like, the flonase or anything? Like, I don't. I don't love it. It's not my favorite. No. But the grossest thing is that people offer you to use their flonase, so you're just, like, getting mixed up together. [00:06:43] Speaker B: And then I was like, okay, I'll try it if it's open. And then he came back and he's like, actually, all three of them are open. [00:06:48] Speaker A: But we all know who I'm talking about in our lives. [00:06:51] Speaker B: Why is. Why do I have three, you know. [00:06:52] Speaker A: People who do that? I'm just saying. [00:06:55] Speaker B: Yeah. Anyways, so this weekend was kind of a wash. Not gonna lie. I mean, we did do a lot of fun stuff. What did we. I don't know. I had so many events planned this weekend, but yesterday was pretty chill. Also, we at the store yesterday, I was just getting a few essentials, and there was this A and W, like, zero sugar. It was like hot fudge sundae flavored a W. And I thought about you. Yeah. Because your husband is, like, obsessed with root beer floats right now. And so they literally it was 99 cents. So people must hate it. It's so gross. People must think it's so gross or whatever because it was only 99 cents. Like you pay more for like the organ deposit than 99 cents, you know, for like 10 cans or whatever. But we tried it and it was so good, like 100p. I was like so into it. Yeah, I don't know, I just like love root beer so much. So ridiculous. But have you tried the different flavors of root beer or has he? [00:07:57] Speaker A: Yeah, absolutely. Because I can't find the mug. Mug is the one that he wants. So apparently with the bull, there's like a bulldog on the label. It's mug root beer. I can't find it for the life of me. So we've tried A and W, which I am partial to. I actually really enjoy that one. We've done. I don't know, there's always like an off brand root beer that we've always gravitated towards. But that's the whole spiel is that like mug is really difficult to find. It's kind of annoying when you think about it. But this is the thing about being entitled about what your grocery store does and doesn't carry. You have to recognize that there's an entire logistics industry that goes well beyond like you and your individual circumstance, which I don't think my husband does. [00:08:44] Speaker B: Oh, absolutely. [00:08:45] Speaker A: So it's really difficult to find mug in my particular hometown. And I really don't want to just like keep going to Amazon to find that because I'm not sure if you're aware there is a huge like protest going on about not buying things from Target, from Amazon. I'm trying to get like broken up from Spotify. Like Walmart's garbage. Everything is terrible. So like, I don't. Where are you shopping? How are you even. Are you. You know about this, right? [00:09:19] Speaker B: Yes. Yeah. How are you feeling? I mean, okay. So to be. To be quite honest, I haven't ordered from Amazon in a minute. And that's just because I feel like I like only like to place orders with them. I hate ordering one thing and then getting a box with one thing in it. So I always like have a cart full and then I order everything at the same time so that it all comes. I don't know why. I'm like, also getting stuff out to bend is like kind of insane for Amazon because it takes forever. Like we definitely don't have two day shipping. Like there's no way. And so anyways, there's that too. Where like, everything's at least a week. So I do order some stuff sometimes, but, like, since I've been laid off, I mean, like, I haven't really been spending money in general. Like, I've been buying groceries, but that's pretty much it. I would say. That's good, though. So, yeah, I haven't bought anything from Amazon in a minute. But I did place an Amazon order today because I was getting a little desperate on, like, a few of my, like, faces. Stuff. Like, I order these, like, wipes for my face, so I don't use, like, a hand towel or, like, a shower towel on my face. I get. Yeah, I'm just, like, a weirdo about that. I like, only allow, like, these special towels on my face now because of all that, like, rash that I went through all at the beginning of the year. And I've never gone back because I don't know how I got that or why I got it or anything. So, anyways. But yeah, so I needed, like, some of those and a couple other things. I like, definitely get the Bioma. It's like a toner from there and that's just, like, so moisturizing. I'm obsessed with Bioma right now. I really want them to sponsor me. Yeah. Because I just really love their products and they're all, like, really clean. So I get the pink one if anyone's interested. But yeah, so, like, that kind of stuff. And it's just way cheaper on Amazon, unfortunately, than like, at Walmart or Target or whatever. So I just order them through there and they come directly to my house. So it's kind of a bummer. But back to the whole, like, not shopping in places. I have been boycotting Target for years now because I hate Target. It's so fucking expensive. I don't understand the hype. Their clothes suck now. Like, I just don't understand Target. Like, absolutely not. And, like, I know Walmart is the devil, but, like, I would rather shop at Walmart, to be completely honest. So. And then everything else I get at Costco, and I'm sure Costco is not great either, but, yeah, that's kind of. And now I'm like, definitely team Whole Foods because it's literally three seconds from my house. And so I get a lot of stuff at Whole Foods, like, things that are not just food products. So, yeah, I'm just trying to be a little bit healthier about what I put on and in my body. But it's so. It's expensive. It's annoying. Yeah, for sure. I know. You go To Whole Foods now a lot, too. Because it's close to your house. [00:12:01] Speaker A: It is close to my house. I haven't been there maybe like a month and a half because I'm trying to separate. I know that there's, like, this whole conversation about getting rid of Amazon and Walmart and, like, just, like, this consumerism dent in society that we can. We have full control over, because Black Friday is coming up. The holidays are coming up. Like, we can make. [00:12:24] Speaker B: Oh, my God. Yeah. Black Friday. [00:12:25] Speaker A: Yeah, we can definitely, like, make a decision to not partake in, like, that particular capitalistic tradition, if you will. But it's hard because. Okay. The other thing that I wanted to ask you about, I just got Botox for the first time yesterday. [00:12:43] Speaker B: How do you feel? [00:12:43] Speaker A: I feel good. Like, I'm. So she literally sold me that. The lowest dose of the lowest thing and, like, the less minimal. Like, the most minimal thing that I could be basically doing, which is really good. [00:12:55] Speaker B: Did you get both Botox or did you get Dysport? [00:12:57] Speaker A: She told me Botox first and then dye sport later. Okay. So she did minimal stuff. I go back in two weeks. It was like here on my elevens, and then, like, the top of my forehead a little bit. I feel really good. Didn't have any bruising. No problem. So I feel like I'm in the right direction. But she also mentioned, yeah, you want. [00:13:17] Speaker B: To be able to tell for, like, two whole weeks. So it's kind of annoying because you're like, I just really want to see what it would look like. [00:13:23] Speaker A: Right. [00:13:23] Speaker B: But it is kind of nice, too, that it doesn't show up right away in case something crazy. [00:13:28] Speaker A: Exactly. And she was like, your eyebrows are already kind of high on your brow bone. So, like, we don't want to go too crazy where you're kind of like, you know, your eyebrows, like, suffocated all the way up to the top, you know, so it's very natural looking. [00:13:39] Speaker B: Oh, same with me, I guess. I have, like, a very short. [00:13:42] Speaker A: That's what she told me, too. [00:13:43] Speaker B: Whatever. [00:13:44] Speaker A: It's like a. I don't know what she called it, but it's not. It's not like the top of my eye. This is all bone, and that's what it is. We just have a larger surface area for the top half of my face. [00:13:57] Speaker B: Anyway, this is weird, but also it's interesting because they don't want to go too close to your eyebrow because that then they'll droop potentially, or they'll be too high. So it's really. Yeah. I get. Because she, like, irritated sometimes very close. [00:14:11] Speaker A: To my hair when she did it. And I thought that that was, like, kind of weird. It's not directly on the wrinkle. She just wants to, like, nope, give me a little lift. [00:14:20] Speaker B: So they would only do it, like, directly on the wrinkle if they're doing filler. Right. Because they're, like, filling that line in, and that's how to, like, fully get rid of it. So what she's doing is she's freezing the muscles from around here so. So that you don't move your forehead as much, and they just, like, automatically just, like, stop showing up. Which is definitely how I feel like now. And I. And, like. I mean, I know it's freaking expensive, but it's. It's so worth it to me. Like, I barely move my forehead anymore at all. And because I've been, like, keeping up on it when I used to just do it, like, once a year or something, like, it didn't do anything. Like, that's not the point of it. Like, it just wears off, and then you do the same shit again, and then you have to start all over. So, like, keeping up on it is definitely a thing in this, which is also annoying because it's expensive. [00:15:03] Speaker A: Yeah, it was definitely, like, 400. That was the gift. My birthday gift to myself because I'm not quite 40, but leading into 40. Anyway, also, this girl was really cute. I went to the Skin Spirit in Lake Oswego here in Oregon. It was really, like, a nice place. And they had mentioned Biodance, the hydrating sheet masks that you apparently sleep in. You look kind of like a serial killer because it's just, like, white. [00:15:28] Speaker B: Oh, I have heard of those. [00:15:29] Speaker A: Anyway. Yeah, I'm gonna order them on. Well, I'd like to not order them on Amazon because obviously we're, like, in the middle of consumerism and trying not to do that. But also, that's the only place that sells them. So frustrating. Yeah, that's how I feel about it. I'm disappointed. I don't know what to do about Spotify. I have been looking, and there's a few different options, but, yeah, I just don't know what to do about it because I have to get rid of it. And I, like. I feel like there's a way. I know we build our own app or, like, I don't know. There has to be a way, a better solution. So all of the. You weird, amazing people out there who are much smarter than me figure this out so that I can, like, move on with my life. Because that would be great. End of story. [00:16:17] Speaker B: Yeah. If anyone doesn't know Spotify is also the devil. And they. I can't even remember what happened at this point. They did something. What did they do? Kay? [00:16:27] Speaker A: So they ran ads for ICE and then the guy who owns it, he's like half co founder I think did a bunch of billions of dollars with a disreputable slash unknowable company that may or may not be bombing is real. That we know of. [00:16:48] Speaker B: But I mean also, not to mention just the fact of that they're making so much money and they pay their artists literally pennies. [00:16:55] Speaker A: Also bad. [00:16:55] Speaker B: Not even pennies. [00:16:56] Speaker A: That's not new information. [00:16:58] Speaker B: Fraction of a penny. Yeah, it's true. [00:17:01] Speaker A: The deal of the devil that we, that we took. But now that they're like taking that and becoming much more of a global player, it's kind of time to reel it back in. Because you don't have to be so politically driven. All like, you are literally a music app. Can you just be a music app? Like, I don't know. That makes me really upset that these companies, you can't trust anybody. You literally can't trust anybody to just be within what you expect them to be. It's really upsetting. [00:17:31] Speaker B: And like the one silver lining is. Or just like what I've seen, I don't know if my algorithm is just like feeding this to me, but that people being aware and putting their money where they believe in is actually making a difference. Like people are noticing, aka like the billionaires, CEOs, companies are noticing that people are not supporting them any longer. So that's really helpful. And it is like really hard to just like watch the influence your life and like, yeah, that looks so fabulous and whatever. But it's just like, yeah, just the whole act of consumerism is just so gnarly these days. And it's like all you're getting here is constantly getting ads at you. I wish I could to like an extent get rid of social media, but you know, as I'm like trying to grow my TikTok account. [00:18:18] Speaker A: Just kidding. [00:18:20] Speaker B: I mean, honestly, I don't really. [00:18:22] Speaker A: One or the other. Right. Like you have to kind of like lean into the solution to make the content that you think is important. And if you get more likes, people look at your stuff rather than their stuff. So I am not mad at you growing your TikTok and showing your life because it's adorable and it's worthy. And I think that I'm terrible at making content Because I have such deep seated blah. But I love looking at. [00:18:52] Speaker B: Oh, my gosh. [00:18:53] Speaker A: No. But part of my day is, like, looking at all of the things in TikTok and looking at all the things on Instagram and seeing how cute people's lives are. They're just living their lives and I love that. Like, their baby pictures are so cute. Their dog pictures are adorable. Cat pictures are great. Even pictures of them, like, getting out and ready to go meet with people. Like, I love it. It's all. That aspect of social media is adorable and I'm here for it. It's this, like, weird manipulation that the companies lean in to manipulate the algorithm because they want to sell more. And it's consumeristic, you know, Like, I just don't really love that. If you're aware of it and you differentiate, then I'm all for it, you know, it's just hard. That line is very blurry. Sometimes it's harder. It's hard to. And millennials are so susceptible. Like, people who grew up with a cell phone in their pocket, they're so susceptible to. Wow, okay. I'm getting really deep into it. I'll stop talking, I promise. [00:19:53] Speaker B: Yeah, no, it is really interesting. Yeah. So maybe we'll just, like, put a little plug to, like, try to do things for the holidays this year that are, like, less consumerism. Maybe do, like, things with the people that you love. You know, I love a gift that is, like an activity. Yeah, whatever makes you happy and those kind of things. Yeah, it's true. More importantly, tomorrow is a very important day. And by the time you hear this, it will be two days later. But it is K flare's birthday tomorrow. [00:20:30] Speaker A: Yay. That's a lot. That's a lot. No, I. Yeah, I'm very excited. Thank you for giving me a shout out on my birthday. No, but I've been thinking a little bit about. I just get really retrospective at this point in time and I apologize to the listener. Just ignore me. No, I'm. I'm not hating turning 36. I think this is gonna be great. The last few years, I've just been floundering ever since we started this podcast. And it gets better every year. One step to the point where I'm just like, every day. [00:21:05] Speaker B: That's so true. [00:21:06] Speaker A: I do my best and it all's gonna work out. You know, I just feel a little less overwhelmed with not having things. [00:21:13] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:21:13] Speaker A: Solved. And that's okay. I'm happy. I'm in a good spot. [00:21:17] Speaker B: Good. Yeah, yeah, Good. I'm so glad I'm so, so glad. Well, I hope you have the best day tomorrow, even though you have to work and I have to work, but I hope it's still a good Monday. Daily Monday is a rough Monday. [00:21:30] Speaker A: So my birthday is always followed by Veterans Day. I was born on the 10th, and there's always the 11th, which is usually a day off. And then I got to the working force, and then they. Not every company lets you have Veterans Day. Are we ready as a society to, like, turn this into a federal holiday? Who fucking cares? Everybody deserves an extra day off. I know. [00:21:49] Speaker B: It is a federal holiday. [00:21:51] Speaker A: Everybody gets the day off. [00:21:53] Speaker B: Okay. I do actually have Tuesday off because it is a holiday, even though very confusing. We're not really working. We're furloughed, whatever. So, like, I have to do my hours tomorrow, which is kind of silly because we're not really working Mondays. But anyways, all that being said, there was. I just saw on the Internet that there's a potential bill that was just written and put forth. They were gonna try and vote on it today, even though the Senate is not in or the House is not in, which. Whichever. So maybe potentially the government will open tomorrow, which would be best case scenario for me right now. I just, like, would really like a paycheck. That would be great. Yeah. And just, like, life in general is, like, moving forward, and so it would just be really nice to kind of get a little bit of that normalcy back. But not gonna lie, like, working 24 hours a week is pretty kush. I'm into it. Oh, yeah. So if that was the actual work week, like, holy moly, I'd be so productive because Mondays and Fridays, having them off is like, actually chef's kiss. It's so, so, so nice. So anyways, but fingers crossed, everybody, that the government will open this week. If they don't pass it tomorrow, maybe they'll like, actually, like, get something rolling and actually, like, come together and negotiate, because they haven't done it thus far, so whatever. Anyway, so by the time you hear this, maybe the government is open and I am back to work, which is, you know, kind of bummer, but kind of not at the same time. [00:23:27] Speaker A: Okay, so I'm looking at, like, CNBC 550. On Sunday night, the Senate was on track to approve a deal that could end the federal government shutdown. Federal government shutdown. The deal does not include what had been the main sticking point for Democrats, an extension of enhanced Affordable Care act tax credits, which are due to expire at the end of December. People Familiar with the situation, blah, blah, blah, blah. So we're still kind of waiting on what's happening, but it looks. It seems to me that there are things being done to hopefully end the situation, which means it'll get done that much quicker. So hopefully. I would really love that. Honestly, like, everything is so messed up on a government level. Like, even just living day to day, I don't want to, like, live with my head in the sand, but I know. [00:24:22] Speaker B: And also, just like, the fact that it hit day 40, I feel like it's pretty, like, influential. Today is day 40 if people aren't aware. And it is. I mean, it's been historical for the last five days, but this is like a new level. [00:24:38] Speaker A: Been historical for the last, like, five years. Honestly. Jesus Christ. No, but I get it. This is also historical in its own right because it's important that people understand how the significance of. [00:24:50] Speaker B: Yeah, absolutely. Situation. Yeah. I mean, it's just like, again, I know people feel like it doesn't affect them, but it really does. It really, really, really does. So. [00:24:59] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:24:59] Speaker B: Also, it was so funny. This is not related at all, but I was watching a TikTok this morning and it was like, this girl was like, please tell me you're like, conspiracy theories. And so people are just like, writing in the comments, like, all their conspiracy theories. You know, there are still some wild ones that I have, like, still never heard before. And I'm just like, people, where do you get this shit? And so it just, like, really makes me. Yeah, there was a few about, like, you know, the government currently and all that kind of stuff. And I'm just. Just like, oh, my gosh. But also at the same time, like, I'm low key. Like, what do I even believe anymore? Like, I don't. I mean, not saying that anything this administration is doing is correct, but I'm just like. I don't know. Like, I know that my algorithm is. Is telling me what I want to hear. So it's just like, really upsetting in general. Like, yeah, the fact that our media is so, like, slanted and. [00:25:53] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:25:53] Speaker B: I don't know. So anyways, we're just trying to give you guys the facts with what is given to us. I'm just kidding. [00:26:03] Speaker A: Yeah, we're definitely not like, a meaning. [00:26:05] Speaker B: This is an opinion of me and only, like, I do not. Yeah. Do not repeat this in any way, shape or form. [00:26:13] Speaker A: But no, no, I do love the idea of us talking on like, a semi, whatever, regular basis about the. The craziest conspiracies that we see online that just like. [00:26:25] Speaker B: Yeah, I wish I could, like, recall one of the ones that I hadn't heard before because it was pretty. There's a couple that were pretty insane, but I can't. That was way too. I was just reading and reading and reading and I was like, they're still going. Holy moly. [00:26:36] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:26:37] Speaker B: Oh, my God. It was crazy. [00:26:39] Speaker A: But yeah, keep that in your back pocket though. Like, if you hear an extra explicitly, like, outrageous one, let's talk about it, because I think. So I went. Did I even talk about this today? Like, I went to the sauna here in Portland. [00:26:55] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, Tell me. [00:26:56] Speaker A: It was called Sauna Go. It's like kind of in the Milwaukee area. Can you hear me? I feel like I. [00:27:03] Speaker B: Okay. [00:27:05] Speaker A: Anyway, the Sauna Go. I'll put it on Instagram. Whatever. It was so cute. It was so nice and very small. There's nothing. A lot of people there. I got to pay like $30 for as long as I wanted. I got to meet with my cousin Dr. Mitchell and her friend and it was nice. They had a cold plunge too. So I got to like do the sauna cold plunge. Just chit chat and like, I don't know. It was a very zen, cool, calm experience. It was lovely and I really would like to go again. So I'll put the location or whatever on my Instagram and yeah, I'll recommend it. It was lovely. [00:27:44] Speaker B: Nice. [00:27:44] Speaker A: And 30 bucks, you know, you could be there as long as you wanted. It was nice. [00:27:48] Speaker B: Anyway. Go ahead. Yeah. That is really nice. Well, when you come to Bend, you should go to Juniper with me because you get, you know, you get like, full gym, full any workout classes. A day pass is $9. And you get the, like, sauna, the steam room and the hot tub and the pool. There's like, you can do all the things. It's like, so incredible. But yeah, that's part of like, my gym process is like, usually I go and I like, walk on the stairs, supper. And then I walk on the treadmill, and then I go swim for a little bit. I'm usually 30 minutes or so. I try to do 30, but sometimes it's really hard for me to swim. Like, it's really hard anyways, and then I go into the sauna in the steam room and it's just like my like, little ritual. And I just love it so much. But that's impressive that they let you go all day because I can only be in there for like 15 minutes and then I'm like, dead. It's like, pretty brutal. So it was especially. But that's actually like, working out a bunch and stuff. [00:28:44] Speaker A: Of all the saunas that I've been to in my entire life. Like, this particular sauna was, like, up there in heat. Like, when you breathe into your nostrils, you can, like, feel the heat singe your nose hairs, basically. [00:28:56] Speaker B: Oh, gosh. [00:28:57] Speaker A: It was really. It was very hot. And then, like, the cold plunge was especially cold. Holy shit. Because I take a lot of cold showers. I have a lot of, like, scalp issues that we've all been very aware of for a very long time. So I take, like, tepid showers regularly. But to sit in this cold plunge, it was like one of those that you. There's a step and you sit down and you're supposed to, like, get your boobs and all your shoulders and like, underneath this girl above us or ahead of us, above us, she, like, got her whole. She had the whole full mermaid, like, her hair and everything. And it was brave. It was fucking freezing. [00:29:33] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:29:34] Speaker A: I couldn't stay in there for more than 45 seconds. I tried. I did it twice and I. [00:29:39] Speaker B: That's a really long time. I would not be able to. 45 seconds. [00:29:42] Speaker A: I could do, like, third. I would love to do three minutes. If I can, like, control my breathing and get like, that would be awesome. But I can't. Yeah, I did 30 seconds the first time and then 45 seconds the last time. So I'll work on it. But it was so good. I loved it. It's very cute. [00:29:58] Speaker B: That's amazing. Yeah. I also just, like, feel, you know, just like, cleansed a little bit more. I mean, you obviously take a shower after, right? And all that stuff, so it just like, feels like you just, like, had a full body situation. So. Yeah. I'm such a fan of the sauna. It's been quite a thing. I would love to have one, like, in my backyard. But there's also something about going somewhere else to do it. [00:30:22] Speaker A: I would agree with that statement, but. [00:30:24] Speaker B: I don't love being in the sauna with other people. I do not love that. Wait. I have a grievance low key that I just thought of. But I want to talk about it right now because it makes the most sense if I talk about it right now. But, like, so foul. People are gross. First of all, we all know that. Oh, my God. People are disgusting. Oh, 100. Yeah, I know. [00:30:47] Speaker A: We expect that. I came prepared to the Sonic spearing, expecting that people were gonna be gross. And I covered all the bases. [00:30:54] Speaker B: Yeah. I always have shoes on I always have a towel and everything too. And obviously a bathing suit because I this record. But no. So the other day I was. This was not today, but the other day I was sitting next to this guy and he had like longish hair, like probably like, you know, shoulder length hair. And he was so sweaty. Like he'd obviously been in there for a minute and every time he like would wipe the sweat off his forehead, he would like go like this. And no, it would hit me every time. And I was like, I looked at him and I was like, can you not do that? Like, I've never talked in the sauna ever. Like, I don't believe in talking in the sauna. Like you're not supposed too. There's but other side note, also a grievance. There's always bros in there talking in the sauna and I hate it. They're always like, oh, yeah, you look really yolk today. Like, how was your workout today anyways? Hate. But I was like, are you for real? Do you not see the fact that you're throwing your sweat on me? Like, that is disgusting. I like, was freaking out. I was like low key, like hyperventilating. Yeah, I hate. I was like so mad. I've never been that mad ever. I also think I was just like really hungry. But I. Yeah, I was so pissed. Isn't that disgusting? [00:32:07] Speaker A: That's disgusting. That's absolutely within your right to say something. That's totally disgusting. [00:32:13] Speaker B: Okay, thank you. Yeah. Foul. [00:32:17] Speaker A: And I feel bad because, like I today talked in the sauna. Like, we were just. [00:32:21] Speaker B: Sorry. No. And then that's. [00:32:24] Speaker A: I feel a little bad. We were chitchatting and like catching up and it wasn't a big deal, but we were also very respectful. There was moments in the time that we had been in the song together that like nobody said anything. So, like, we weren't obnoxious about it because we were very self aware. People who aren't self aware. This has been done. [00:32:44] Speaker B: That's what I was going to say. I feel like if you're like not whispering, but I feel like if you're having like a low conversation that's not like intrusive to other people, like meditating or like just trying to like chill in the sauna and like breathe, you know, then that's like, fine. But like when they're just talking at full volume, I'm like, were you born in a barn, bro? Like, what is happening? And like, I know we all pay like not that much money to work out at the rec center. So like I'm not gonna complain about it or anything. But it even says like on the door, like please don't come inside if you feel like talking. Like please pause and be quiet. [00:33:17] Speaker A: No, I think that's an absolute moment in time where like regardless of who you. It's a very safe like meditative space. You just like don't talk in the sauna, you know, not above a whisper. [00:33:31] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. Yeah. [00:33:35] Speaker A: People. [00:33:35] Speaker B: Anyhoosers, that's my like low key grievance that people are gross. I mean I already get grossed out in the sauna because everyone's sweaty, you know, and like sweat is gross to me. I'm just not a sweaty human. So I'm just like the place that. [00:33:48] Speaker A: I went today, sauna go in like the Milwaukee Sellwood area of Portland was not like that. It was very clean. They had two people working. There was only like maybe eight people in the entire place from 11 to 1 o' clock on a Sunday afternoon. Like it was really cute. Yeah, very nice. [00:34:07] Speaker B: Wow, that's amazing. [00:34:08] Speaker A: And I'd go again. [00:34:09] Speaker B: Nice. Cool. That's awesome. But when you come here, we're gonna definitely gonna go but into our. [00:34:17] Speaker A: I also love to have a sun. [00:34:18] Speaker B: Up so you can see it for yourself. [00:34:20] Speaker A: Right. Like that's amazing. Yeah, it's somebody that I knew that I could just like go and pop there for sure. Afternoon, you know, especially if it's snowy and cold or rainy and cold. Like hell. Yeah. I'll sit in the sauna. It gets real cold up in here anyway. [00:34:35] Speaker B: Yeah, so true. I'm gonna do like a quick transition because I really want to talk about. Nobody wants this because I just finished it this morning. Yeah. [00:34:47] Speaker A: How do you want to attack? [00:34:49] Speaker B: Okay, well you were like started talking about it last week, but then I hadn't finished it yet. I only had two episodes last. I guess I was on episode nine. That's how like much I did not like it was. I stopped on episode nine and like there's only 10 episodes so it was just not great. I feel like it was just the same like narrative like all over again as season one where like oh, they can't be together. Oh they can't be together. Like blah blah, blah. I do love Adam Brody, Abby. Like he's the love of my life forever and ever. Like Seth Cohen for life. But in this show I would say he's not that great of an actor. I don't like, I don't really believe that he loves Kristen Bell. Like I just don't I do low key. Love that Leighton Meester, who is his wife in real life, was in the show and she was like that little, like, terrible human. I was obsessed with that part. That was actually so funny. [00:35:44] Speaker A: She's such a great actress. [00:35:46] Speaker B: Yeah, she's great. Yeah. 100. The other. My other thoughts are the fact that. How are they related? The like, tall guy and Jackie Tone? How are. I don't remember how they're related. They're Jewish. Someone's. Is it someone's brother? [00:36:02] Speaker A: Anyways, okay, so Seth Cohen is brothers with the tall seven foot. Yeah. [00:36:08] Speaker B: Yeah. Okay, that makes sense. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm really sad that they broke up. [00:36:13] Speaker A: I know. He was in V. Oh, spoiler. He was also in a bunch. He's been a bunch of stuff. He's awesome. We love him. And I don't know his name. I'm gonna look it up right now. And I know that him and Esther broke up and it. I don't believe that they've broken up. Like, I get it. That they. She had got banged and she was like, kind of thinking about not having another baby and he wanted another baby and blah, blah, blah. Like, I don't think that they've totally broken up, but they are definitely at outs like she wants her own life and he doesn't know what's hit him, basically. So. [00:36:44] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:36:45] Speaker A: And I know that people want him and Morgan to be together, but I love the Morgan brother sister that they like. The sock. [00:36:52] Speaker B: I agreed. [00:36:53] Speaker A: Sasha. That's what it is. [00:36:54] Speaker B: Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yep. That guy. I did love that they, like, got together after. Not got together, but they were sitting together after she had broken up with her fiance and he and Jackie Tone had. Whatever Esther had just called it quits because I think it's a good way to like, wrap it back together. Like, that they're not going to be together. That they're just like good friends and they can talk about stuff like that. [00:37:15] Speaker A: Timothy. But Simons is his name as an actor. He's a really interesting individual. Veep. Yeah, he was in a bunch of stuff. The Handmaiden's Tale. The interview. Yeah. He's cool. [00:37:28] Speaker B: Okay. But tell me your thoughts. Wait, why? I. I feel like because you were like, last week you were like, there's definitely a spoiler. And so I just was like, wait, this was. There's no spoiler. Like, we knew they were gonna be together. [00:37:38] Speaker A: Well, no, you didn't think. [00:37:40] Speaker B: Oh, Esther and Sasha. [00:37:41] Speaker A: Yeah. You didn't think that they were gonna, like, be separated because Esther from The beginning of the first season, you knew that she was always, like, placating mother in law. What's her name? What's her name? Benny. What's. [00:38:00] Speaker B: I have no idea what you're trying to say. [00:38:02] Speaker A: Sasha's. [00:38:02] Speaker B: And who are we talking about? [00:38:04] Speaker A: His mom. The mom. The mom. [00:38:07] Speaker B: Oh, I don't know this. Her name. [00:38:10] Speaker A: Her name's like Benny or Betty or something like that. Shoot, whatever. Esther and mother in law never got on because they weren't super. And in the first season, her daughter had like a bat mitzvah and her mother in law overtook everything and she was just like, this is my mother in law. So, like, I feel like this was leading up to the point that she wasn't super happy with everything. But what I enjoyed about this season was knowing that her character is not defying. I don't know, she's. There's more to deal with her. She's not just annoyed at Morgan and her husband having a relationship. Like, she is a deeper human being. Let's, like, explore a little bit about what she could be outside of this Sasha dynamic. Like, she's a different person. It's interesting. [00:38:57] Speaker B: I feel like I have, like, a different level of, like, understanding of this show. Not understanding, just like, nothing. You not the new or anything. That's not what I mean. I just mean, like, because I'm so invested in armchair exercise experts. Like, Jackie Tone is, like, one of Kristen and Dax's, like, best friends. And then that other girl, the blonde girl, her sister in the show, she was just on Armchair Expert. And so they talked a lot about the show, obviously, and Kristen came on and talked a little bit with her and stuff. And so I just, like, have, like, so much build up of the show. And, like, you know, I really wanted to succeed because I love them all so much. And then it just, like, really fell flat for me. And I was really bummed, kind of. Yeah. [00:39:40] Speaker A: Really? I don't think it fell flat. I mean, I don't listen to armchairs as much as you do, for sure. And I like Kristen Bell, Veronica Mars, you know, I enjoyed that show and I like her as a person and she's a good actress. The thing that drives me crazy is that, like, Adam Brody is not. He's not. I don't know. [00:40:05] Speaker B: He's just not doing it really this time. Like, oh, that's sad. [00:40:09] Speaker A: And I think it's the character. It's not that Adam Brody is not without. He absolutely is. I just think that the character itself doesn't lean to this, like, really complex or, like, interesting person to play out for the 17,000 times. Like, this is just so predictable that his. I don't know. [00:40:29] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah, agree. [00:40:31] Speaker A: Like in the Valentine's episode when he had, like, the Very Tropic Girlfriend necklace, the bubble bath kind of thing, like, he knew what he was doing. Like, that's very much a plot line I would have expected from Laguna hills in the 19 Laguna hills. I don't know. [00:40:48] Speaker B: He was on the OC. [00:40:51] Speaker A: But you know what I'm talking about. Like, there's a play by play. He's playing into a character that I think is an overdone character. I'd like to see a different, you know, different level of that. So that's. I know. Bummer, though. Like, you're. This is falling flat. [00:41:10] Speaker B: Sorry. But also, like, I have the attention span of snail, so don't ask me, because I was watching it while I was doing a million other things also. So I could have missed, like, really clever tropes and, like, some of the comedy. I don't know. And which is, like, why people love, like, Adam Brody and Kristen Bella and stuff. So. I don't know. [00:41:30] Speaker A: That's what I'm saying, though. Like, the season two part of this really didn't have a lot of, like, brilliant comedy. It wasn't. It was so predictable and very much following the format that wasn't compelling to watch. It was just kind of, other than the Esther character, you know, kind of breaking out of what we would expect her to do. Not just be mad that her husband's friends with her, you know, this cute blonde person. But, like, I don't know. That was what was interesting about 100%. [00:42:01] Speaker B: But I'm also so curious. Like, obviously season three is gonna happen because they got so much success on the first season, but I just, like, besides her becoming Jewish, I don't know what else I could do. Like, honestly. So we'll see. [00:42:16] Speaker A: Right? Like, her whole experience of her mom becoming Jewish and then she became Jewish because Esther told her, like, you don't have to, like, do a thing anyway. Yeah, it's interesting. Do you think that they're gonna do that? Anything beyond. I think they should do, like a four or five season one hour episode, wrap up the story, give people, like, a nice follow through. Like, that would be. That's a good season. [00:42:41] Speaker B: Yeah, that's all they need. Honestly, I don't think that they need. [00:42:43] Speaker A: To do another eight. Yeah, eight or nine seasons. This is, like, a quick one, right? [00:42:49] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:42:50] Speaker A: Okay. [00:42:51] Speaker B: Any hoosers? We're kind of like actually we like have just been chit chatting and jaw dropping, so it's already like far into our episode. Do we want to do gratitude grievances? Do you want to go first on your gratitude? [00:43:05] Speaker A: Oh, God, sure. [00:43:06] Speaker B: Oh, sorry. Not to put you on the spot or anything. Well, I'll go first then. I am very grateful for you, K. And I'm very excited for your 36th birthday and I hope you have the bestest Monday birthday ever.

Did you hear? Did you hear? [00:43:49] Speaker A: I passed? [00:43:50] Speaker B: Did we say that already? [00:43:51] Speaker A: I honestly don't remember. But anyway, I. Anyway, I've been setting this test and I knew that she would. And everybody has been so supportive, slash not surprised that I've passed. And they're just. They send me a lot of love. And I just gotta say, like, I'm grateful for my extended family and friends. I'm. I'm very lucky. And everybody seems to be really motivated by my success, which, like, pushes me to be a better person. Pushes me to be like, wanting to do better. And I just am appreciative. So I'm grateful for all y' all listeners and the people in the universe. [00:44:30] Speaker B: Yay. [00:44:31] Speaker A: Oh, shoot. [00:44:32] Speaker B: It's at a place called the Hideover. [00:44:34] Speaker A: Okay, we're wrapping up. She's gonna go. [00:44:36] Speaker B: She's got a hiding dirty there. So I gotta go. [00:44:38] Speaker A: Have a good night. I love you. Go warriors.
