S3 - Wrapping up January with Renea

[00:00:00] Speaker A: Sa. [00:00:25] Speaker B: Welcome. [00:00:26] Speaker A: Welcome. [00:00:27] Speaker B: Welcome. It wasn't awkward at all. Welcome to K30. [00:00:34] Speaker C: Get it. [00:00:36] Speaker B: I'll hit that high note, girl. Oh, my God. This is K Fler. What's going on, everybody? Welcome back to the podcast. I'm like, genuinely excited to be here today. [00:00:46] Speaker A: Hi. [00:00:46] Speaker C: Hi. Hi. We have a special guest. Mommy, say hi. Hi. [00:00:50] Speaker A: What? [00:00:53] Speaker B: She said no, and then she said, I shook my. Welcome. Welcome. I love. [00:01:02] Speaker C: We are just, like, getting on to discuss some pod updates and mom is helping us edit. And now that my Internet isn't so garbage and the recordings, like, semi go smoothly. [00:01:15] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:01:15] Speaker C: Like, hoping to do a little bit more recording, get, you know, get more guests on, etc. Etc. And she is helping us edit. So it'll just be so helpful to where we have more time to actually get on the pod instead of having to do the quick turnaround. [00:01:29] Speaker B: So I feel like every year the pod gets better and better because, like, we just dedicate a lot of fun times to this basically hobby. But we're getting organized. Hopefully we'll come out with even more episodes, more guests, more shenanigans. 2026 is going to be great. I feel like I. I can't. Like, in my head, the new year doesn't automatically start in January. Like, I think I'm still stuck in the holiday season. So by the end of January at least, I'm like, finally feeling like I'm prepared for the year, which is really way off track. Right. Like, that's bad. [00:02:00] Speaker C: No, I think that's good. I feel like that's fine. It's also just like a weird, you know, like, mental reset that you have to do where you're like, oh, okay, yeah, we're, like, starting fresh and whatever. Like, after the holidays, it kind of just like feels nice to just start again, you know, and just redo. Are you still doing Whole 30? [00:02:17] Speaker B: No, I'm terrible at it. I definitely missed it. I'm like, drinking white wine right now because January has been really. I mean, yeah, it's just been really rough out there, guys. And we're not going to be very specific about timing and events and everybody's watching the news and stuff, but I'm sure that it's just as bad as it is today as when this, like, episode finally releases because is crazy. So, no, my whole 30 did not survive January. It'll come back around, I'm sure. How about you? [00:02:44] Speaker C: Did you have any manifestations or, like, things that you're hoping? [00:02:49] Speaker A: I had a ton. I feel like I had too many. I was like, okay, I want to pay off this bill. I want to. Of course the ongoing one is lose weight, but you know how that goes. You can always start the year out every year try. But you never have. You never know how that goes. I, you know, as an old person, I need to update our trust. Like stuff like that or, you know, just trying to get that stuff together. And I have no reason since I don't. I'm retired. I have no reason that I can't do all that stuff. So. Yeah, I have a lot of them. [00:03:31] Speaker C: Yeah. But the days just like dip. [00:03:33] Speaker A: They do. [00:03:33] Speaker C: It's so bizarre. Like, yeah, I am. Yeah. I could very easily be retired and fill every day of my life. [00:03:40] Speaker A: Like, I don't know how I ever work. That's crazy because I don't know where my day goes. [00:03:45] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:03:47] Speaker A: Today I did. [00:03:48] Speaker C: I know. [00:03:49] Speaker A: That's how we did a river cleanup down in Jackson. We did like a homeless encampment cleanup that they. They kicked everybody out and because there was a big fire last year, so they kicked everybody out and there was piles and piles of stuff. So I spent like three hours cleaning up trash, which was, you know, wow. [00:04:11] Speaker C: It was. There like poop and stuff. [00:04:13] Speaker A: There was buckets. [00:04:13] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:04:14] Speaker B: Like nasty trash. [00:04:15] Speaker A: Yeah. And nobody wanted to touch them. There was one lady who was more than willing to do that, which I was so, so surprised at. But lots of glass and batteries and just a Bible and just kind of weird. Just weird stuff. Yeah. [00:04:31] Speaker C: It felt fascinating. But that's. [00:04:34] Speaker A: Feels good to clean. Very cool. [00:04:36] Speaker C: Yeah. Did you meet anyone cool? [00:04:37] Speaker A: Yeah, I did. I actually. Lady who used to work for the forest Service who's retired. That might be a good hiking buddy. So. Yeah. [00:04:46] Speaker B: Oh, yay. [00:04:48] Speaker C: Very cool. That's awesome. Yeah. It's always nice to make new friends and just like minded people, I guess. [00:04:55] Speaker B: Definitely. [00:04:55] Speaker A: Especially in our community when there's a lot of people who aren't like minded, you know, it's like, are there. Is there anybody out there that's like me, you're free. [00:05:05] Speaker B: You gotta feel the water a little bit. [00:05:07] Speaker A: Yeah, exactly. [00:05:08] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:05:09] Speaker B: Check the tap. [00:05:12] Speaker C: For real. I am very curious because. Well, sorry. I don't know why. My mind just goes straight to like the government shutting down after. On January 31st. Because we're in. People don't know. Which I've been very aware of how much people don't pay attention. The government is only. We're only living on a continuing resolution through January 31st. And so if they don't pass something, then we are going to go into a Government shutdown again. And with just all the changes. I mean, I've seen big changes to my health care. I switched healthcare last open season. So, like, open season 24. Yeah. [00:05:51] Speaker B: Okay. Is that coming up for you again in, like, April? [00:05:55] Speaker C: No, it's in December. [00:05:56] Speaker B: Every year it's in December. Okay. [00:05:58] Speaker C: So I just missed it. And I didn't. They didn't send out my, like, notification that everything was changing until after open enrollment was closed. [00:06:06] Speaker A: So. [00:06:06] Speaker C: Of course. But anyways, it's just crazy because I switched from Blue Cross Blue Shield because they're racket and they wouldn't cover anything for my knee and. Yeah, whatever. They're just being assholes. And then I switched to United, which also, you know, the devil, whatever. But it is what it is because everything was so much cheaper and I was getting the same coverage for, like, I don't know, $60 less a pay period, and now everything's expensive again. So I'm like, oh, my gosh. Anyway, just, like, one small thing, just healthcare alone. If people are paying attention to it and seeing the differences and the changes and things and the things that were promised because of the last shutdown that didn't actually happen. [00:06:50] Speaker A: I think it'll be a little bit difficult. Things that are going on because of what budget. You know, the budget stuff that's coming up. It's, like, three major. Department of Defense or Department of War, whatever you want to call it. Homeland Security. Those are all things that are in this that haven't been resolved for this potential shutdown. Right. So the people who are. [00:07:18] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:07:19] Speaker A: Fiscal hawks are gonna have a hard time with. [00:07:23] Speaker B: Wasn't that part of the last, like, agreement when they reopened the inner. Or the government. What was it in early December or something? Like, there were specific Democrats that caved and then took a deal saying that they're gonna, like, push out the vote later on and come back to come. [00:07:41] Speaker C: Together and talk about it. [00:07:43] Speaker A: Yeah, but that was gonna be about health. That's different. Yeah, but. Yeah, yeah. Oh, okay. [00:07:50] Speaker C: But, yeah, the. We have been told that, like, our budget specifically has been passed. There's, like, little. It's in, like. There's. Yeah, there's a bunch of ones that have been passed, but like mom was saying, there's just a few that haven't been decided on. And so I'm just so curious what will happen, because that will literally make my already hellish life at work even more hellish if the government shuts down just with, like, trying to get caught up on things. [00:08:16] Speaker B: So. [00:08:16] Speaker C: Yeah. But anyways, yeah, 2026 is gonna be great. [00:08:21] Speaker B: It's gonna be a rager. What is up with this 2016 obsession. [00:08:25] Speaker C: That people are like, what is that on social media? [00:08:28] Speaker B: I don't know. I was. Yeah, but everybody's getting into it. What were you doing in 2016? [00:08:32] Speaker C: I looked back at my photos, like, to see if there was anything I could post because I was like, oh, this is kind of cute. I, like, got out of the Peace Corps. I'm so fat, I'm not even gonna, like. I could not post one single one of those. [00:08:45] Speaker B: What? [00:08:45] Speaker C: I was such a chunk. [00:08:47] Speaker A: Like, oh. [00:08:48] Speaker B: Anyway, when you got back from Ethiopia, you were not chunky. You were very slim. [00:08:52] Speaker A: It's true. [00:08:53] Speaker C: I know, but then the whole, like, life set in of, like, me having. [00:09:00] Speaker B: To, like, be back, get used to regular processed garbage. [00:09:05] Speaker C: Had access to all this food. Yeah. That I hadn't had access to in 2 and a half years. I don't know. I was. [00:09:10] Speaker B: Okay, serious question for you. When got back from Ethiopia, what was, like, your first thing that, like, the first craving that you ticked? [00:09:20] Speaker C: Well, it's so funny because I tell people that I remember very specifically, and my sitemate, like, her name was Natalie. We talked about this very specifically because, like, she was food obsessed. And I, like, love that because we would, like, I thought about food, but she, like, thought about food, like, 24 7. Just, like, things that she missed and. And stuff. But, like, there are some things that I just, like, loved having in Ethiopia, like Cheez its and things. Like, there's, like, anything crunchy. Pringles, like, those kind of things. Because there was nothing crunchy like salty chips. Yeah. But when I was there, I, like, very specifically was like, I want anything with sour cream. Like, I was like, I want a breakfast burrito with sour cream. I want, like, nachos with sour cream. I want, like, whatever. And that's so random. I mean, there is no dairy there, so it was, like, not super random. But then I don't remember, like, actually eating that when getting back. But I still love sour cream. But it's just, like, not one of my, like, favorite food groups or, like, anything at this point. So I'm just like. I don't know what it was about the sour cream obsession, but when I left, I went to Southeast Asia. And so then I feel like I got a lot of things there to, like, you know, get me through because they had sweets and fruits and things that I hadn't eaten in a really long time. But so, yeah, when I got back to the States again, it Was just all hands on decks. [00:10:40] Speaker B: I don't really remember. [00:10:41] Speaker C: But anyway. Yeah. Why. I don't know how we got here. What are we talking about? [00:10:46] Speaker B: We're talking about 2016. What was going on in 2016? [00:10:50] Speaker C: I'm gonna put in 2016. [00:10:52] Speaker B: Go for it. [00:10:53] Speaker A: Was your 2016. What. What were you doing in that year? [00:10:56] Speaker B: I was just. I was. I'm gonna send you guys a picture on the chat if it'll work. I don't know, maybe I should just share my screen really fast. That was the first year you came back from Strawberry or. No, from Ethiopia. And we had gone to Strawberry. So I got to this picture. 2016. Can you guys see that? 2016. I think I was meeting my future husband. Yeah, that's the pesto pizza. Pineapple. Yeah. I was working for my like the agency and recruiting and I think I was barely getting ready to like move to Uber. So I was in San Francisco. I was not doing anything super exciting other than dating my now husband and having fun. [00:11:42] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:11:43] Speaker B: Isn't that crazy though? Like, I met him in 2016. I think we started dating in 2017. But I've known this joker for basically 10 years. Yeah, that's wild. Anyway. [00:11:54] Speaker A: Joker. [00:11:55] Speaker B: So that was the first. Like. [00:11:58] Speaker A: I was looking back through my pictures. So that was the year that Derek and Jay got married. We were. Oh, that's. I know. We were rebuilding our house in mid pines. Bo was a baby. There's a picture of him who looks like just a little. [00:12:15] Speaker B: Oh, my gosh. [00:12:16] Speaker A: I know. So cute. [00:12:17] Speaker B: He was such a cute puppy. It looks like he is a cute. [00:12:20] Speaker A: Kelly got a car. Her first RAV4. There's a picture of her in 2016. [00:12:27] Speaker C: 2016. [00:12:28] Speaker A: Where was it 20? I can't tell because it's like between the brown one. 2016 and 2017 somewhere in there. [00:12:35] Speaker B: But there's a. I was driving my Mini Cooper at that point. [00:12:37] Speaker A: Picture of moose. Yeah. I don't think we did a lot that year. I hiked to the top of. [00:12:43] Speaker C: Yeah, I think I got moose that year. [00:12:48] Speaker B: A Moosey Boy. [00:12:50] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:12:53] Speaker B: Is that the smallest dog you guys have ever owned? [00:12:56] Speaker A: Oh, wasn't my dog. [00:12:57] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:13:00] Speaker B: He might as well have been. He loved hanging out. I just remember him being like this little eight pound chihuahua next to three very large dogs. [00:13:12] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:13:12] Speaker B: Bruce is just running around. [00:13:14] Speaker C: He could hold his own. [00:13:15] Speaker B: He weighed five dogs though. It's impressive. [00:13:17] Speaker C: He weighed nine pounds. [00:13:19] Speaker B: Yeah, he was a Jimmy Chonga. He's just a little chunky kid. [00:13:23] Speaker C: Wait. Also, I just like love them and I send Videos. Because Matt, like, hates little dogs, and I send videos of things to him all the time. And then he sent me this one. Can you see that? [00:13:34] Speaker B: Oh, my God, yes. So it's in Chihuahua with the very exaggerated eyebrows that are going up and down in a little gif. I love it. [00:13:46] Speaker C: Anyways, I got him a birthday card with a chihuahua on it because he hates them so much. [00:13:51] Speaker B: What did he say about your Chihuahua pillow? [00:13:54] Speaker C: I don't have a Chihuahua pillow. [00:13:56] Speaker B: I thought you had a pillow with, like, moose's face on it or something. Am I thinking about the Right. [00:14:01] Speaker C: No, I have, like, a pug shirt. [00:14:04] Speaker B: That's what it is. Okay. Something. [00:14:06] Speaker C: Yeah, actually, mom got me a towel too. I saw the towel. [00:14:09] Speaker B: I swear I thought you had a pillow, but maybe not. [00:14:11] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:14:11] Speaker B: Anyway, that's hilarious. [00:14:13] Speaker C: 2016, man, what a time. [00:14:15] Speaker B: Why did that come up in the Internet, though? Like, just because it was 10 years ago. I don't. I didn't follow that. [00:14:20] Speaker C: Oh, I think because people were like, Whoa, 20. Yeah, 2016 should not have been that long ago. I mean, also just like, did I see you read the or. Oh, my God. [00:14:29] Speaker A: Whoa. [00:14:30] Speaker C: Did you see that Tik Tok that I sent you that? Someone was saying that in this year. We graduated 18 years ago from high school because it's like the class of 2020 or whatever is like, 18. And there's like, the person is like a millennial. And they're like, what do you mean, like? And they're like, aren't you, like, in first grade? [00:14:49] Speaker B: Great? [00:14:49] Speaker C: And they're like, no, I'm 18. I was born in 2008. [00:14:54] Speaker A: Oh, my God. [00:14:56] Speaker B: Bar, that makes me want to die. Oh, no. [00:15:00] Speaker C: Crazy. [00:15:01] Speaker B: No, I didn't see that. I'm sorry. I haven't checked my Tik Tok in a little bit. I actually got in touch with an old girlfriend of mine. She's in Texas now, but she's following me on Tik Tok. And I've been like, I posted on TikTok for the first time, saw them. I don't know who I am. I don't know. I'm a little nervous about it. I think I have, like, 113views on my one measly little post. But it makes me really nervous. [00:15:28] Speaker A: I don't know. [00:15:29] Speaker B: So I don't post on Tick Tock. I need to, like, get over that, though, right? Like, I'm an old enough person that should feel comfortable posting on Tick Tock, as long as you have something interesting to post. [00:15:38] Speaker A: There's like, don't just get on there and, you know, do nothing. [00:15:43] Speaker C: Be like me. [00:15:43] Speaker B: That's what she's saying. I like your posts. I think they're fun. I like to check in on you. [00:15:52] Speaker C: I wait, I got like two commissions this week, so. [00:15:56] Speaker B: Did you really? I have. [00:15:57] Speaker C: I made like $36. Yeah, really making, making the big bucks now. Really. I love it anyway. But it is like, it is a chore for sure. But it is fun, like when you actually like, want to do it. You know what I mean? But on the daily, like when I'm working and stuff, it's a chore. [00:16:19] Speaker B: Like I, Yeah, I already hate my duolingo and that feels like I, I get guilted because I'm on this like 130 day streak with my dad and I'm like, well, my dad will be disappointed if I bail on him. But that's my relationship with duolingo. Like I, I go on TikTok to like melt my brain and do not, you know, kind of check on the news because you never know what's being not told to us. [00:16:43] Speaker C: So I know. [00:16:44] Speaker B: Oh my God. [00:16:44] Speaker C: I watched this video this morning about the moon landing. I was like, am I a conspiracy theorist? [00:16:49] Speaker B: Get out of here. Get out of here. [00:16:52] Speaker A: They are going to the moon again. [00:16:53] Speaker C: Whatever he was saying. [00:16:55] Speaker B: Yeah, I heard that. Yeah, they're working on it. [00:16:59] Speaker C: Like what he was saying. I was like, well, that's, that's really true though. I don't know, it seems bizarre because the one thing that really got me was that he said, okay, and mom, you correct me if I'm wrong. Like, I don't know if you know more about it. I watched the like, Fly Me to the Moon movie even. And so that's what made me feel a little bit more skeptical about it as well. Because, like, they basically said that they landed on the moon at the same time that they were fake landing on the moon and they were broadcasting it on tv. And so it's like, what is real? Did you guys watch that movie? [00:17:31] Speaker B: Is that the one with. [00:17:39] Speaker C: I thought it was, I thought it was interesting. Anyways, what the guy said basically was like, how did they capture them landing on the moon if they hadn't landed on the moon yet? And I was like, oh, that's true. You know the like video of the thing landing and the Neil Armstrong, like, getting out. [00:17:59] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:17:59] Speaker C: How did they feel? [00:18:01] Speaker A: It was a whole set. There was. They, they put. It was a stage that they set up. Right. That's what I remember. [00:18:09] Speaker C: Okay, well, that's what I'm. That's what I'm asking is. So the movie is correct in that they. That whole part was staged, but they actually did land on the moon. [00:18:18] Speaker B: No, they definitely landed on the moon. Oh my God, they wrote it. They wrote it. In the confident about this. He steps out of the land the rocket, right? He walks across the way, sets up a camera, goes back and then does the moon landing again. I don't know though, man. Now I feel like a real dumb dub because I got to go read up on this history. I've been too focused on the fact that the Epstein files and like, yeah, all that crap. I haven't thought about the moon landing to be all worried about that conspiracy. [00:18:54] Speaker C: I mean, yeah, he had point after point after point and I know that's how conspiracy theories work, but anyways, I do believe, I do believe that we probably landed on the moon. [00:19:05] Speaker A: Galley. [00:19:08] Speaker C: Anywho. [00:19:09] Speaker B: Oh goodness. [00:19:10] Speaker C: Tick tock really gets me sometimes, you know. [00:19:12] Speaker B: TikTok is wild, folks. Also, I heard about this thing. I was listening to the Hard Fork podcast, which I used to listen to all the time. So these guys are talking about a federally regulated Internet and I am going to Google slash, use cloud AI to tell me how to explain that on a podcast. So I don't sound like an idiot, but apparently this whole movement is like giving power back to the people and decentralizing your. Your Internet experiences. These social medias. Like there are a handful of companies who own 99% of the the Internet, how you interact with the Internet, how you, you look at what you look at on the Internet, all of that. So if we can find a way to take some power back and, and build our own custom user interface, right, like our own app or we can build our own bulletin board system or something like that. Blue sky was supposed to be and it would. So it's like Mastodon and Blue sky. There's. It's called the Freddy Verse or the Friend Averse. Anyway, I gotta, I'm gonna look it up. Frediverse, it's basically, it's new so. And I don't know much about it because I'm obviously not like thinking about it or interacting with tech on a day to day basis. But okay, the Fediverse, it's the federally regulated federal. It's the federated social network including platforms like Macedon, Pixel Fed and others. And yeah, it's kind of a thing. I think, I think my husband and I are going to work on like how to build our own server, how to get our own pick and choose what kind of Traffic that we're going to look at. So we'll have kind of like our own Internet that we can put a lot of firewalls on and not have a bunch of ads and have access to Googling stuff that we can then find at our local bookstore or whatever. I don't know. It's interesting. It's like a federated social network that's not owned by any particular company, but owned. It's kind of like back in the days, like a Reddit. Right. Or like a bulletin board or like a MySpace page. That was forever and a half ago. Right. So think about like that type of experience. But you have access to, you know, your Instagram, you have access to your Facebook posts, and it's all kind of in one view. [00:21:34] Speaker A: That's interesting. [00:21:35] Speaker C: I mean, anyone, any, like social media that's not owned by a trajillionaire would be really nice. [00:21:42] Speaker B: A trajillionaire. [00:21:45] Speaker A: On my TikTok feed lately has been coming up the food companies we don't want to support. And it's fascinating to me how many huge companies own every everything. You know, like Nestle and. No, there's like, it's like the same kind of thing. It's like just. It's such a monopoly. [00:22:13] Speaker C: I think I sent you a tick tock. Mom actually might ascend to cave too about just like household products and who actually owns like cleaning products and things like that. And yeah, they all go back to like Pepsi or Nestle or something like it's such a bummer. [00:22:26] Speaker B: Like Johnson and Johnson or something has all the paper products and goods and things like that. [00:22:30] Speaker C: I'm pretty sure Johnson Johnson's owned by Pepsi. [00:22:32] Speaker B: That's pos. Yeah, it's possible. [00:22:34] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:22:34] Speaker B: Anyway, can I talk a little bit about like some movies that I've watched recently? Oh, yeah, I watched Dumb Money. It's on Hulu, Disney, slash. I don't even know Dumb Money. [00:22:47] Speaker C: Do they combine? [00:22:48] Speaker B: Yeah, I think Hulu and Disney are owned by the same. [00:22:51] Speaker A: Yeah, they all. They always come up together for whatever reason. [00:22:55] Speaker B: Yeah. Anyway, this dumb movie had like. Oh, my God, Seth Rogen. [00:23:03] Speaker A: It had. [00:23:04] Speaker B: I can't say Shailene Wood. [00:23:06] Speaker A: Woodley. Woodley. [00:23:09] Speaker B: Okay. I like her. She's cool. And then it had. It had a really. A bunch of other people and it's all about the Gamestop story. So when they had like the shorts and the squeezing of the Gamestop options or stock, there was really good. It was kind of like cutesy and quirky and. [00:23:28] Speaker C: And it had. [00:23:29] Speaker B: Oh my God, what Is her name American? Ferreira. America Ferreira. She was great in it. [00:23:35] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:23:35] Speaker B: It was a really funny movie. And I've been learning more and more about the stock market, so it kind of, like, hit home for me. I would definitely would recommend that I have one more, but maybe. Any movies that you guys want to talk about? [00:23:48] Speaker C: I don't have any movies particularly. Well, I did see the Avatar movie in theaters. [00:23:55] Speaker B: The fire one? [00:23:56] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:23:57] Speaker B: Did you like it? [00:23:59] Speaker C: I did. Like, was actually scary. I don't know. I was like. I had. My heart was, like, beating out of my chest, like, the whole time. Like, it's so anxious, like, driven, the whole thing, you know, like, okay. I mean, they're basically going through a war. Like, every movie, they're, like, in a war. So, like, everyone's dying, everyone's getting hurt. Everyone's. The bad guys are coming. The good guys are saving the day. The bad guys are coming. It's, like, back and forth and back and forth. I feel like since they brought in, like, the water people with, like, the environmental impacts and, like, those, like, underlying, like, things, it's, like, so sad and it's so real, and it just really hits home. But I saw it in 3D in the theaters, and I would recommend. But it's, like three and a half hours long. [00:24:43] Speaker A: Ugh. [00:24:44] Speaker B: Kill me. [00:24:45] Speaker C: Unreal. [00:24:46] Speaker B: Like, but those wicked movies were long enough. I had to. I had to, like, leave in the last 40 minutes to go pee. I'm like, this is crazy. It's just too long of a movie. I'm sorry. [00:24:55] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:24:55] Speaker B: It's like a marathon for your bladder, but whatever. [00:24:58] Speaker C: 100. But I did want to talk about this show that I'm watching right now. Well, I'm sure everyone's watching it. It's called his and Hers. It's, like, all over social media. Everyone's talking about it. Have you guys watched it? It's on Netflix. [00:25:11] Speaker A: No. [00:25:12] Speaker C: It's about, like, a murder mystery, but there's, like, all these twists and turns. I would say everyone on social media was like, it's so good. I would say it's very predictable. [00:25:21] Speaker B: Oh, really? [00:25:22] Speaker C: I haven't finished it, but I would say it's fine. It's interesting. But, like, meh, that's what I think about. [00:25:30] Speaker A: Everybody's like, this is such a great show. And I was like, I mean, it's another end of the world kind of, you know? I don't know what. [00:25:42] Speaker C: I haven't heard about it. [00:25:43] Speaker B: Oh, really? [00:25:44] Speaker C: What's that on? [00:25:45] Speaker B: Yeah, it's on Apple. [00:25:47] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. It's on Apple. So the whole world basically gets hit with a virus, and except for like 12 people. And those 12 people, a lot of, like, there's one lady who's super worried about, you know, what's going on, and everyone else is like, this is great. Because everyone that has the virus just caters to these people. There's one guy who's got, like, you know, this mansion and six cars. And, you know, the. The people just wait on these people. The 12 people. They'll bring whatever you want, and they think it's great, so they don't see anything wrong with it. And she's like, this is crazy, you know, but. Yeah, I haven't got to the part where the guy from Peru comes and meets her, but it's interesting. But I was going to say the other Papa. And I watched one battle after another. I thought that was a good movie with Leonardo DiCaprio. I think it won a bunch of Golden Globe Awards, but it's pretty good. But it's another one of those things where you're like, why are they doing that? You know, like, they're just putting themselves in harm's way. You're constantly. It's not quite as gripping as what Kelly's saying, but, yeah, it's like they're just making. They're kind of rebels. [00:27:14] Speaker C: Bad. [00:27:14] Speaker A: Yeah. Bad decision after bad decision. And you're like, you know. But, you know, that's. It's a. That's a lot of movies nowadays. [00:27:24] Speaker C: Yeah, that's true. It's not my, like Benicio del Toro or whatever the. [00:27:30] Speaker A: He is in that. Yeah. [00:27:31] Speaker C: What's that guy's name? [00:27:32] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:27:33] Speaker C: Oh, he is. [00:27:34] Speaker A: No, the. [00:27:34] Speaker C: The director who dad likes all those. [00:27:37] Speaker B: Oh, I thought he was in that one. Guillermo del Toro. [00:27:40] Speaker A: Pretty sure he's in that one. [00:27:41] Speaker B: Is that the guy you're thinking of? [00:27:42] Speaker A: But I know who you're talking about, who the director was. [00:27:48] Speaker B: Guillermo del Toro is the director, but Benicio el Toro is in the movie as well. [00:27:53] Speaker A: I wonder if they're related. [00:27:54] Speaker B: So those two guys. That would require a deeper dive. I don't know. [00:28:01] Speaker A: I think he was up. [00:28:03] Speaker C: Meaning either of those people. You know, that other weird director that dad likes from, like, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and stuff. [00:28:13] Speaker A: What's that guy's name? He did shoot. What did he do? Who did? Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Broaden. [00:28:27] Speaker C: Yes, that guy. That's what I was thinking. [00:28:30] Speaker B: Gotcha. [00:28:30] Speaker C: When you were talking about it was that it was a Quentin Tarantino movie. Like, those type of movies are so dumb to me. [00:28:38] Speaker B: Quentin Tarantino movie. But yeah, they're. They're meant to be stressful and high in anxiety. [00:28:45] Speaker A: It wasn't really like that, but that other weird one where like Reservoir Dogs. [00:28:51] Speaker B: And the Usual Suspects, like that kind of Kill Bill. Those kinds of movies. [00:28:57] Speaker A: Anyway, yeah, the one. [00:28:59] Speaker B: I have one more movie. [00:29:00] Speaker C: Okay, give it to us. [00:29:02] Speaker B: Did you watch the Bob Dylan flick? [00:29:04] Speaker C: No, I didn't. I really wanted to see that over the summer, but I totally spaced it. [00:29:08] Speaker B: With Timothee Chalamet or whatever. Also, him and Kendall have been on everything. Not Kendall, Kylie. [00:29:14] Speaker A: Sorry. [00:29:15] Speaker B: Yeah, they have been on everything. Everybody's really obsessed. [00:29:17] Speaker A: But I did. I really do want to see this ping pong movie. That's the one. He's out right now. [00:29:23] Speaker B: He did a ping pong. [00:29:24] Speaker A: It's called. [00:29:25] Speaker B: I didn't know that. [00:29:27] Speaker A: Marty. It's Marty something, right? Marty Splendid or no idea. Marty Supreme. [00:29:35] Speaker B: Marty Supreme. There it is. [00:29:37] Speaker A: It looks really good. [00:29:38] Speaker B: A Complete Unknown is the Bob Dylan flick I really liked. It had Joan buyers who I really like. Got like other people. That was kind of cool, but I don't know if it's like. It's not really accurate. I don't know. It also not. I don't know. It might be. I don't know if it's like, super accurate or not. It was a good movie. It had Elle Fanning in it and. [00:30:02] Speaker C: I really like her. [00:30:03] Speaker B: So, yeah, she was great in it. I think he did a really good job. It was a good movie. But now I'm like, want to know more about this Marty supreme movie? [00:30:10] Speaker A: This also looks. Dylan is kind of mysterious. [00:30:13] Speaker B: Am I a Timothee Chalamet fan? I don't think that I am. [00:30:17] Speaker A: I saw Dylan last year in a concert and it was horrible. He comes out and he sits at a piano and he just plays and kind of mumbles. You know, he's just old. It's like not worth. Yeah, same thing. Him and Will, Willie Nelson were playing together and I was just like, oh, my God, this is like the Grandpa Tour. [00:30:44] Speaker B: I mean, do you think they're ever going to retire? They should probably retire at this point. [00:30:49] Speaker C: Why would they? People are still paying them a lot. [00:30:51] Speaker B: Of money to see things, I guess. [00:30:53] Speaker C: Why would they? And they're giving that much effort. [00:30:56] Speaker B: Dude, I can't wait to retire. Are you kidding me? I tell the world to go off. [00:31:03] Speaker C: Wait, Mom. I saw Austin and Renata yesterday. We went and met the baby. [00:31:09] Speaker A: Wow, that's quick. Yeah, she didn't look that big at the wedding. Wow. [00:31:14] Speaker C: Yeah, she was due like Christmas Eve, I believe. And she came December 16th. [00:31:21] Speaker A: Oh, okay. [00:31:22] Speaker C: Wow. She's almost a month. Yeah, just a month old. But her. Lee. Her name is Alina Kelly and she took Renata's last name. So she's a Garbowski, which is very sweet, but she's so cute and. But I thought about this because they told me the new movie they saw, they got to go on like a little date night because Renata's mom is visiting for like two whole months while they're like getting adjusted. And so they went on a date night and they saw the new movie. The new Bradley Cooper movie. Have you guys seen ads for that? It has the guy from Smartness in it. What's his name? I always forget Will Arnett. [00:32:01] Speaker A: Is this thing on? [00:32:02] Speaker C: But they said it was really good. Yes. Nice. That it was actually a really good movie. I've seen a lot of press for it, so I'm curious. But yeah. So just another one to. [00:32:15] Speaker A: I think. [00:32:16] Speaker C: I guess. I don't know if it's out of theaters. [00:32:17] Speaker A: I'm pretty sure Saul's baby was born on the 16th. Saul and Lenny. [00:32:22] Speaker C: I think so. Yeah. [00:32:23] Speaker B: Also, Saul had a baby. [00:32:24] Speaker A: I just sent you a picture. [00:32:25] Speaker B: So all our listeners haven't. [00:32:26] Speaker A: He just sent me a picture, so I sent it to you guys. [00:32:30] Speaker B: Cute. Oh, my goodness. That kid has the cutest cheeks ever. I love. Oh, my God. [00:32:38] Speaker C: That's gonna be her, like, CEO. [00:32:42] Speaker A: No way. [00:32:43] Speaker B: She's so cute. Oh, my gosh. [00:32:46] Speaker C: She does look like Saul. [00:32:47] Speaker B: Wow. Totally. Oh, my gosh. She's so beautiful. [00:32:50] Speaker A: She's like, not the double chin. [00:32:56] Speaker B: I can't tell if, like. Yeah. If it's wrapped around her head. So it just makes her cheeks like that much more pronounced. Probably. Yeah. She's too cute. She also has the stakiest face on. And I love it. Totally. She's just missing her middle finger to the world. I love it. So cute. [00:33:19] Speaker A: That's awesome. [00:33:20] Speaker C: Oh, my God. [00:33:20] Speaker B: I'm obsessed. She's adorable. [00:33:22] Speaker C: Well, hopefully she comes to Strawberry this spring. Oh, yeah. That would be really fun. [00:33:27] Speaker B: Brand new babies and strawberries. Do you want to do some questions? [00:33:30] Speaker A: I've picked out some questions to do. Do you guys want to do. [00:33:33] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. [00:33:34] Speaker A: Or do you have a game? [00:33:34] Speaker C: Let's do it. [00:33:35] Speaker A: Do you have something already picked? [00:33:37] Speaker B: No. [00:33:37] Speaker C: You want to do your question? [00:33:38] Speaker B: Go with your questions. Is it okay if I get a refill, though? Are you guys going to give me a two second break? [00:33:42] Speaker A: Yes. [00:33:43] Speaker C: Yeah, go for it. [00:33:44] Speaker A: Okay. [00:33:45] Speaker B: I'll Be back. [00:33:45] Speaker A: Let me make sure. I've got some good questions. [00:33:53] Speaker C: Naylani texted me, like, last week sometime, and she was like, wait, your mom. [00:33:59] Speaker B: And dad aren't gonna do Brush Crew anymore? [00:34:01] Speaker C: And I was like, no, I think they're doing Brush Crew. Their mom's just not organizing it. And then I got, like, thinking about it, and I was like, are you doing Brush Crew? [00:34:09] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:34:09] Speaker C: I mean, are you gonna go? Okay. [00:34:12] Speaker A: Yeah. I don't know why everyone jumps to that conclusion. Just because I don't want to be the leader, you know? [00:34:19] Speaker C: I don't know. [00:34:21] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:34:22] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:34:26] Speaker B: Okay. I am back on the dance floor. I was listening to Robin in my shower. Yeah. And she's gonna go on tour. [00:34:38] Speaker C: Wait, in the States? [00:34:39] Speaker B: I. Oh, my God. Unless social media was lying to me, which is possible. Let's. [00:34:44] Speaker C: Man, I would love that. That would be so fun. [00:34:47] Speaker B: She's coming to Vegas. I think that's what it is. She got like. I mean, we go to Vegas this year, so the 2016 thing, I think that was the last year that we were in Vegas with Natalie. So maybe we do a Vegas thing this year. I don't know. [00:35:04] Speaker A: Go to the Sphere. Yeah. [00:35:07] Speaker C: Yeah. I really want to go to the Sphere. [00:35:08] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:35:08] Speaker B: I haven't been there. That also looks amazing. [00:35:10] Speaker C: I really want to go to Meow Wolf. Have you heard about Meow Wolf? [00:35:13] Speaker B: No. [00:35:14] Speaker C: It's like, kind of like a huge. Huge escape room, right? [00:35:17] Speaker A: Yeah, that's what I've heard. [00:35:18] Speaker C: Like an experience, but like an escape room at the same time. Oh, wait. I think Heather was telling us at the same time. [00:35:25] Speaker A: Maybe. Yeah. [00:35:28] Speaker C: Yeah. Anyway. Okay, mom, we're ready. [00:35:30] Speaker B: We're ready. [00:35:31] Speaker A: Okay, here's a question. In the movie of. Of your life, who would you want to play? Who do you think would. [00:35:44] Speaker B: Well, that's a thinker. I wasn't expecting such a serious question. [00:35:47] Speaker A: Your whole aura. [00:35:50] Speaker C: Like, I guess. Yeah, that's. It could go either way. It could go who you really like and, like, respect and admire. Or it could be, like, who would actually be good at impersonating you? [00:35:59] Speaker B: Can I say, like, Leighton Meester? I think that she's a good enough actress that. I wish I looked like a good enough actress. That's awful. She's an amazing actress, clearly. But, yeah, I think that she would get away with, like, my weird, awkward, nervous behavior, and she'd do a pretty decent job of being like some. I don't know. I'd like to think that I'm a little redeemable, but I have a lot of nervous, like, auctions awkward energy. [00:36:25] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:36:26] Speaker B: Lead me. [00:36:27] Speaker A: You're have to think about, like, sometimes when people are portraying people in real life, are they going for how they look, or are they going for their mannerisms, or are they. They pick somebody who's, like, a really good actor and who can mold themselves into that person. You know what I mean? It could. [00:36:50] Speaker B: I think the latter for Leighton. [00:36:54] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:36:56] Speaker C: I don't know. I'm, like, literally drawing a blank. Why can I not think of any actress right now? Wait, also, are we not allowed to say actresses anymore? Are they actors? [00:37:04] Speaker A: Yeah, I think they like to go by actors. [00:37:08] Speaker C: Okay. [00:37:09] Speaker A: That's what I've heard anyway. [00:37:12] Speaker C: Do you. Do you have anyone for me? Cave? [00:37:14] Speaker B: Well, I think that, like, Witherspoon makes a lot of sense. [00:37:20] Speaker C: Really? [00:37:21] Speaker B: Yeah. She's very vivacious and very. And you are very much bubbly person. [00:37:26] Speaker A: And she did that hiking, remember? What was it? [00:37:30] Speaker B: Yeah. And she could pull off the party girl. Like, the girl. Like the Kelly who gets in the front of the band. [00:37:36] Speaker C: Excuse me? [00:37:37] Speaker B: That's a thing. It's not new news. That's not news. [00:37:42] Speaker C: See? [00:37:42] Speaker B: And, like, you know, I think that Reese could do a really good cat. I just. [00:37:47] Speaker A: I. I really like her, but I can't get that whole thing where she got, like, pulled over and she, like, you know, told the cop, like, don't you know who I am? I can't. I can never get that out of my head. She's pretty entitled. [00:38:03] Speaker B: I mean, I don't know her as, like, a person. I'm just thinking, like, her acting range could do a really good Kelly. [00:38:08] Speaker A: No, you're right. [00:38:09] Speaker C: Okay. The only other person. The only person that's, like, coming to mind, like. [00:38:13] Speaker B: Or maybe Kate Hudson. I could see you. [00:38:16] Speaker C: I was thinking of Scarlet Johansson in. But that's just, like, being very kind to myself. But that's the only one that I like, like and I respect. And I feel like she does, like, the Marvel movies, but also, like, rom comies, but also she does, like, serious stuff. [00:38:32] Speaker A: I don't know. [00:38:33] Speaker B: I could see her in your movie. Like, if we're specifically on one experience. You like being in Africa and Ethiopia. I think I could see that movie play out in my head with. With Scarlet ScarJo. I could make that. Make that happen. [00:38:47] Speaker C: Okay. [00:38:47] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:38:48] Speaker C: What about you? Do you have one? [00:38:49] Speaker A: I. I was just thinking. I don't know. That's a good question, because I. I can't help get Diane Keaton out of my mind, but she's not like me at all. [00:39:05] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [00:39:06] Speaker A: But, yeah, I'm not sure that's a good question. [00:39:11] Speaker C: I like her. [00:39:12] Speaker A: I know. I like her, too. I think she remember that movie because I said so. I love that movie. [00:39:19] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:39:20] Speaker B: Yeah. So quirky in it with Mandy Moore. Am I crazy? I kind of like a Catherine o', Hara, which I think is, like, way too old. [00:39:29] Speaker A: No, she's way too old. I love her. She's amazing. [00:39:33] Speaker B: But I think she does a really good, like, deadpan kind of comedy, which I think you, like, accept, excel at. So I think she would be very good at, like, portraying. [00:39:41] Speaker A: I saw her the other. [00:39:42] Speaker B: Some of the shenanigans that you get. [00:39:43] Speaker A: Into not long ago. She was, you know, of course they were doing the. What's the one where they leave Kevin behind? She's the mom, right? [00:39:56] Speaker B: Oh, I watched Home Alone for the holidays, too. [00:39:58] Speaker A: She's great. [00:39:59] Speaker B: I love that movie. [00:40:01] Speaker A: She's just like a mom that's. You know, she's not. [00:40:05] Speaker B: I always forget about the polka band and that guy. I always forget that he's in that movie. [00:40:12] Speaker C: Wait, is that the lady from. You should do that lady. Okay. [00:40:17] Speaker A: I love her. I think she's amazing. [00:40:18] Speaker B: And she was in Best in Show, which is also an excellent movie. [00:40:22] Speaker A: She's in all those. Yeah. [00:40:24] Speaker B: I really like Cassidy. [00:40:25] Speaker A: She was in Second City in Chicago. [00:40:27] Speaker B: Totally. [00:40:28] Speaker A: At the same time as all those people. [00:40:29] Speaker B: Anyway. But that's who I see in my head for you. She's awesome. I love her. [00:40:35] Speaker A: Oh, here we go. You want to hear another one? If I were a superhero. If you were a superhero. Let's put it on you. If I. If you were a superhero, who would you be and what would your talent be? I guess. Right. [00:40:54] Speaker B: Is this, like, a real adaptation of. [00:40:56] Speaker A: What I think is power? [00:40:58] Speaker C: Like what? [00:40:59] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:40:59] Speaker A: What would your superpower. What would you want your superpower to be? [00:41:02] Speaker B: Or is it, like, who I want to be as a superhero? Because Captain Planet's definitely, like, on my list. I think that would be really cool to, like, go around, but I want to do, like, Captain Planet that murders people. Like, bad people. Oh, yeah. [00:41:17] Speaker A: I'm glad you cleaned that up. [00:41:18] Speaker B: I think that would be cool. I. In my head, I have this in image of, like, a girl. Captain Planet, and it's the boys, like, on Amazon. Did you guys watch that show? I literally couldn't get through it after he had them eat the octopus. If, you know, you know, so. But like, a bad superhero. Somebody who's, like, not gonna be Captain Marvel. Goody two shoe kind of bullshit with the Superman and the not murdering people. Because I Would definitely murder some people. Not that the cops are gonna listen. [00:41:50] Speaker A: To this, you know, it's a fantasy. [00:41:53] Speaker C: I don't know anything about exactly any superheroes. I don't know their skills or anything. I would never get us into Spider Man. The ride. So I am just going to say I'll be Robin Hood. Steal from the rich. [00:42:12] Speaker B: Robin Hood. I love it. That's a good one. Kidding. [00:42:16] Speaker C: I don't know. I mean, if I could have any, like, talent, I guess I would probably have, like. Like invisibility. [00:42:27] Speaker A: I was thinking the same thing. [00:42:29] Speaker C: Cool. Really? [00:42:31] Speaker B: I would be flying. I would fly for sure. [00:42:34] Speaker A: Because you could go anywhere. [00:42:35] Speaker B: If I could fly like Superman. Totally. I would not be in Portland, Oregon, at this moment. If I could fly, I'd be like Aladdin flying around the world. That'd be amazing. [00:42:45] Speaker A: Invisibility gives you that cloak of mystery, you know? Like, you could be a fly on the wall and listen to people's conversations and it might be detrimental. [00:43:01] Speaker B: True. [00:43:01] Speaker C: It could be more hurtful than you think. Yeah. That's fair. Yeah. Mom, what would you be besides invisibility? [00:43:09] Speaker A: I like the flying ideas. So does Supergirl fly? I mean, it's hard because they're all men. [00:43:18] Speaker B: Supergirl flies. [00:43:21] Speaker C: Super Lady Supergirl. [00:43:23] Speaker B: Yeah. Supergirl is definitely a thing. She had, like, multiple comic books, multiple storylines, multiple movies, and definitely a few different TV shows. That's thing. Supergirl. [00:43:35] Speaker A: I can't remember who her name is. [00:43:36] Speaker B: Clara. Oh, my God, I'm such a nerd. I'm, like, literally calling this out. I think Wonder Woman. What about. [00:43:42] Speaker C: Yeah, what about Wonder Woman? [00:43:43] Speaker B: I think she also flies. Yeah, I would definitely pick Wonder Woman over. Oh, super. Whatever. [00:43:51] Speaker A: Girl. [00:43:52] Speaker B: Superhero's niece. Is your mom frozen? [00:43:56] Speaker C: I think she might be. [00:43:57] Speaker B: Oh, no. [00:43:58] Speaker C: Dang, you're doing so good. [00:44:00] Speaker B: But only for the outfit, Honestly, like, Wonder Woman's outfit and her boobs look amazing all the time. Like, Supergirl has an okay outfit. [00:44:07] Speaker A: Wonder. [00:44:07] Speaker B: Wonder Woman has a way better. She's such a woman, you know? [00:44:10] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. [00:44:11] Speaker B: Do you think she'll pop back on? [00:44:13] Speaker C: Hopefully, Yeah. I wonder what happened. [00:44:15] Speaker B: We're still recording. [00:44:17] Speaker C: We should probably just end here, though. [00:44:19] Speaker B: Yeah, let's do about that. Gratitudes and grievances and let's get out of here. Yeah, I like it. [00:44:24] Speaker C: I'm into it. [00:44:25] Speaker B: I've had a lot of. Of fun, though. It's kind of an unstructured episode. [00:44:30] Speaker C: It is interesting, like, just how you can chat with, like, an. An additional person. You know, how the. How the conversation, like, moves in a different direction. It Is interesting. [00:44:38] Speaker B: Yeah. Are you, like, cod up on your couch? You have, like, a heated blanket that you're like, oh, my God, I'm so jealous right now. I have white wine and I'm happy. [00:44:47] Speaker C: But at, like, 64°. So your girl has. [00:44:50] Speaker B: Oh, my God. So 64. Matt, what are you doing? 67. At the very least. [00:44:56] Speaker C: Okay, thank you. I texted him two times. I'm like, I'm turning the heat up. I don't even care you're not here. [00:45:03] Speaker A: Good. [00:45:04] Speaker B: Good for you. 64 is crazy cold. [00:45:07] Speaker C: Thank you. I know. Even Sam came because Josh likes to keep their house cold. And Sam's like, Whoa. [00:45:13] Speaker B: 64. [00:45:14] Speaker C: Matt was like, are you cold? And she was like, surprisingly, no. But like, damn, 64. [00:45:20] Speaker B: I was like, yeah, we need to turn it up. [00:45:22] Speaker C: He's just so hot blooded. It's unreal. [00:45:25] Speaker B: That's a thing. [00:45:26] Speaker C: Anyway. Well, she just said she got disconnected. Hop back on if you want. [00:45:36] Speaker B: Yeah, we need to do gratitudes and grievances. She needs to get back on. I want to reassure you. I know that, like, last time we were recording, I was in the other room and I was, like, really down on life and whatever, but this week has been really good. [00:45:48] Speaker C: Okay, let's talk about it after the recording, because this is all recording. Oh, well, unless you don't. Unless you're okay with that. [00:45:54] Speaker B: Well, I wasn't gonna tell your mom, but that's okay. Oh, but that's okay. I just want to reassure you that it's better and we can talk about it later. [00:46:03] Speaker C: Okay. [00:46:04] Speaker B: And it's not the end of the world anyway. [00:46:07] Speaker C: We're gonna go into gratitudes and grievances. Mom, how do you feel about that? [00:46:11] Speaker B: You're not good. [00:46:12] Speaker C: Okay, thank you for the questions. [00:46:16] Speaker B: Yeah, that was really fun. Actually, we should probably do that again maybe like, later on. I like thanking these. These are fun. Can I start with. [00:46:25] Speaker C: Yeah, grievances. [00:46:27] Speaker B: I am. It's freaking cold. Like, I am not feeling really motivated. And I think that, like, July, or. Sorry, July. [00:46:35] Speaker A: January. [00:46:38] Speaker B: Hasn'T really been gone the way that I really wanted it to. So I'm just, like, grieved at this stupid transitionary period. It's been a very warm winter, so it doesn't really feel like I got a winter because it didn't do anything for the holidays. Right. So I'm just kind of, like, ready to close the chapter on this book, and I'm waiting for that moment where it, like, closes. So I'm just grieved with, like, this anti, like, anticipation maybe. And this anxious energy to, like, get started with the year. I don't know. I'm feeling a little stuck. [00:47:11] Speaker C: We're gonna have, like, a miracle March, and it's gonna be great, but I'm gonna die in March because March is always. There's no holiday. No federal holidays. [00:47:19] Speaker B: Yeah. It's the longest month. [00:47:22] Speaker C: Yeah. And it's a 31 dayer. And it's probably gonna freaking snow the whole time. I'm gonna freak out. So it's gonna be really fun times. But that was gonna be my grievance as well, is that we have this thing right now, which I've never experienced before. We have. It's called air stagnation. [00:47:39] Speaker B: And I saw a notification on my phone about it the other day. Like, what is this? [00:47:43] Speaker C: Have you heard of that before? [00:47:44] Speaker B: No, I've never heard of that. But I did get, like, a be careful, beware weather warning. Air stagnation. [00:47:51] Speaker C: Yeah. So, like, there's obviously no wind, and so it's just, like, fog, basically. But it's like freezing fog. [00:47:58] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:47:58] Speaker B: Everything. [00:47:59] Speaker C: It looks like it's snowed. Like, it kind of did snow last night, but basically it's just rain that froze and. Freeze. Yeah, whatever freezing fog is. But anyways, it just, like, never got warm today. And the fog never lifted yesterday and today, but it, like, froze overnight. So it's like, yesterday was icky, and then it just. Like, now everything is icky because it froze overnight. And so, like. And it's still here today. Like, we just saw the sun, like, for an hour before I got dark today, so I'm like, what is going on? It's just really weird. Like, we never get like this. So. Yeah, I'm not stoked on. I would rather it be. It would, like, snow and then turn it back into sun and melt and then snow turn back into sun and melt, like, in town, you know, I don't want it to melt on the mountain, but yeah. And then this, like, weird freezing that we're going through that is not great. [00:48:46] Speaker A: The same thing's happening in the Central Valley with the fog is just. [00:48:50] Speaker C: Oh, really? [00:48:51] Speaker A: Because there hasn't been a lot of rain, and. And so it's just heavy fog every single day. It's like. It's going on, like, seven weeks of just heavy fog, I think. But the other day was really fascinating. We dropped down into Mono Lake, and there was this cloud hanging over the lake, and it was like cotton balls kind of sitting. You couldn't quite tell until you got into it, and then you got under it. It was just like a beautiful day. And then you could climb under this. This huge cloud over the lake. It was really eerie. Yeah, it was fascinating. [00:49:30] Speaker C: Mom, we can hear both snoring. [00:49:32] Speaker A: I know. [00:49:33] Speaker B: I'm sorry. [00:49:34] Speaker A: I was going to ask you if you could hear him. Of course. He's under me. He's under the table. Cuz he has to be. Right on. He's such a loud snorer. Sorry. [00:49:44] Speaker B: Oh, my gosh. [00:49:47] Speaker A: Next time I al mute. [00:49:50] Speaker C: I thought it was sad for a second. Anyway, Kate, do you want to kick it off with gratitude? [00:49:57] Speaker B: I guess. I don't know. I'm feeling all anxious and I don't have a lot I guess be grateful for other than this and seeing you guys and seeing your Sonoma State sweater that's like straight up bright pink. I'm into it. [00:50:10] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:50:10] Speaker B: I'm just grateful that, like, we get to do more of this and keep checking in with one another. I guess know you. [00:50:15] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:50:15] Speaker B: Grateful for you guys. [00:50:17] Speaker C: Yeah. I'm grateful that. Yeah. It's not 2025. I feel like we already said that. [00:50:25] Speaker B: But still feels like it's clinging on to us. Like space from 2025. It is time for that breakup to happen. [00:50:32] Speaker C: I know. Okay. I'll try to. I'll try to pick a different one. I'm gonna be grateful for my new position. Trying really hard to say, see the silver lining in it. And tried really hard to not want to die at the end of every day because it's exhausting. I have 15 employees under me right now. [00:50:53] Speaker A: Oh, goodness. [00:50:55] Speaker C: I. Yeah. I just never thought that I would be a supervisor. Now I have 15 people below me and I want to die a little bit. But yeah, it's just basically managing people's emotions all day, every day. And it's fascinating. Like it is. Definitely should be studied because. Yeah, managing people is quite, Quite interesting. [00:51:18] Speaker B: It's definitely been studied. There's like tons and tons of books out there. We can talk about it later. [00:51:25] Speaker A: But your goal always was to be a GS12, not supervisory, and now you're a 13. [00:51:32] Speaker C: My goal is to be a 13. 13 non supervisors. [00:51:34] Speaker A: Oh, all right. And so that's not quite coming true. [00:51:38] Speaker C: Supervisor. Yes. So anyway, yeah, I'm just trying to. I'm learning a lot. I've done more things in the last two weeks than like, learn new things in the last two weeks than I have in the last, like five years. Probably keep track. [00:51:55] Speaker A: That's good. Put them on your resume. [00:51:56] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. I have like an accomplishment list already going because I'm like, I don't want to forget this stuff. Like this is unreal. So anyway, yeah, it's just, it's a whole new experience. So I'm grateful for the opportunity. I feel like I'm growing a lot and learning a lot. I just really don't want to let my team down. But they're being very supportive. And then I got new folks to help because like I said, we're so far behind because the government shut down in the fall. So I got a few people from this in the southeast region which was super fun because I used to work in the southeast and they're all people that I used to work with. [00:52:30] Speaker B: Nice. [00:52:31] Speaker C: And so it's just like fun to work with specialists that I haven't got. I don't get to talk to like on the daily. So. And then it was just so funny like getting on the phone with them last week. They were like, you're a boss now. [00:52:41] Speaker B: Like what the heck? Like it was just like really funny. [00:52:44] Speaker C: And good to see love. So yeah, silver lining there is that I get to work with people again that I haven't got to see in a of weeks, couple, couple years. And then yeah, we're still, they're still here. So that's really nice. Still working for the man. So. [00:52:57] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:52:57] Speaker C: But anyways, gonna be grateful for my position at the moment, even though I really needed a four day weekend after last week. So. Yeah. And I'm happy to just chill this weekend. So. Nice. Yeah. What about you, mom? [00:53:12] Speaker A: I'm grateful for my cat. So she's been a work in progress. She stays outside the dogs. She's not keen on the dogs. And we went away for four days. We just got back. Yes. Last night. And I left food in the house for her. So I've been trying to train her to go through the dog door. And today I was sitting in the den and she popped through the dog door and jumped up on my lap and she like got lots of love. That's the first time she's ever done that. So I think she's just feeling, you know, more comfortable and she knows if I'm here the dogs won't chase her. And yeah, I'm, I'm super excited about her being an actual house cat. She loves being outside but I think she's realizing she can come in and. Because there, there's times when we're laying in bed, two o' clock in the morning and I hear her go meow in the house, you know, so when it's cold outside, I think she comes through the dog door and she hangs out. But yeah, it's just hard to get train a cat herding cat. I'm grateful for my kitty. [00:54:25] Speaker C: She's a little spooky. Spook for sure. [00:54:28] Speaker B: But that's adorable. [00:54:31] Speaker C: Cute. [00:54:33] Speaker B: Is she a black cat, too? [00:54:38] Speaker A: The pound was Wednesday. [00:54:42] Speaker B: Wednesday, Wednesday. [00:54:44] Speaker A: And I was like, that's too long. You're going with Luna. [00:54:47] Speaker B: She's all bold. I love that's like Sailor Moon vibes. And I'm into it, so it's great. [00:54:56] Speaker A: She gets to be, you know, a real good lap cat kitty. That's what I want, is a lap kitty. [00:55:03] Speaker B: You're not satisfied with the dog at your feet? 99. [00:55:07] Speaker A: Snoring at my feet. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. [00:55:12] Speaker B: Anyway, I love. Okay, that's it. That's all we have for you folks. Thanks for stopping by. Thanks for having me. [00:55:19] Speaker C: Thanks for joining, Mom. [00:55:20] Speaker B: You're welcome. Yeah, we'll have you back.
