S4 E8: Yip Yappin - Chit Chattin

[00:00:00] Speaker A: Foreign. Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome to Candidly. Hi everybody. Hello, Kelly. [00:00:30] Speaker B: This is K. Fleur. Welcome to the podcast where we candidly navigate life's toughest moments and topics. [00:00:38] Speaker A: Thank you, Claire. Yeah, I was gonna say I don't have it pulled up in front of me so I can't. I forget. [00:00:42] Speaker B: I was just updating it earlier today, so it's, it's in my tab here. Hi. What's going on? Welcome. [00:00:47] Speaker A: Oh my goodness. Hi everybody. We're recording on a Tuesday. We're still like living on the edge a little bit because this episode is supposed to come out tomorrow. So your girls were ahead of the game and then we got a little caught up on accident. So here we are. We are doing the most. But still thank you to our editor who is doing last minute edits because we really need her at this point. This is the crucial. When the crucial time comes in where we need a really good editor because yeah, your girls are just running on empty. Running on fumes at this point. So. [00:01:19] Speaker B: On empty. Okay. Speak for yourself. [00:01:21] Speaker A: Okay, I will. Yes. Me personally, how are you? [00:01:26] Speaker B: Things are good. It's always just really crazy around this time of year. For our long time listeners, Strawberry is legitimately this weekend. We are so jazzed. But like right around this time, May, June, there's always just like a million and ten things that we have to do. So with that being said, shout out to our producer. Love it. It was amazing. I'm doing really good. I've gotten. I've been very productive over the last like two weeks and I'm just excited. I'm literally going to start packing for Strawberry right after we record. So I just did a really good mood. I'm ready for vacay, honestly. I'm ready to like turn off my computer and smell some grass and hug some people and just fill my cup. And I'm excited. [00:02:13] Speaker A: Yeah, I feel like I just really need a break as well. I think like if anyone's knows me personally or anything, you know, like how work has been just, you know, basically since January 2025. But yeah, it's just like getting real weird these last few weeks because we have fully been reassigned. We're fully like a completely different organization. I'm on a completely different team. I am not doing anything that I have been doing for the last, what, eight years. So it's all very strange, it's all very odd. And I really am feeling well at the moment. I'm like very checked out and so that's not great. But I also like can't care too much because I tend to care too much about work, and it really bogs me down in my personal life. And so I am just, like, throwing to the wind at this point because I can't, like. I literally just, like, don't have capacity. As soon as they, like, took away the, you know, the supervisory position from me, I just, like, lost all care and respect for leadership and whatever that we did have left. And so, yeah, I am just, like, living my best life and not giving a. Because I'm not a supervisor. I don't have a team anymore. I don't have to care about anyone but myself. And, yeah, so here we are. We're just going and living and doing. But, yeah, I really need a break. I feel like it would help my brain reset a little bit because I am very negative right now. So. Ready for vacay? Ready for five days off. I think I was telling Matt, too, that I think I just need to take a little bit more time off work at some point during the summer as well, because, yeah, it's just really feeling icky at this point. So, anyway, hopefully vacay is in the future. What about you? Do you have any fun vacay plans this year? [00:04:02] Speaker B: Well, I have my brother. He's coming into town June 3rd, and I am also making some career moves and changes, which means I have a little bit of time available to spe. Thursday, Friday at Timothy Lake over here at Mount Hood. So I found us, like, a little campsite on the south side of the lake. We're gonna go hiking. We're gonna do one day at Clear Lake, one day at Timothy, and then I'm gonna do probably, like, two or three hikes around the Mount Hood area. So that'll be the week. Like, two weeks, I guess. [00:04:37] Speaker A: It is two weeks away. [00:04:38] Speaker B: And then I have a friend coming in late July from the 19th to the 29th, and I'm thinking we'll probably do, like, a gorge trip, or we could probably do, like, an Astoria day. Just try to try and get out of town a little bit and see some stuff, because the winter will be here as soon as, like, it will. Winter is coming, people, and I am just going to open up and be fairly transparent about how much seasonal depression gets me. So I just need to, like, really soak up the sunshine in the summer and make a conscious effort to, like, get out and do things. So, yeah, but that's really it. And then I'm coming to bend, like, a couple of times. I'm going to do some hikes. While I'm there when I get back from Strawberry. But yeah, that's kind of what I'm. What I'm doing. I want to hear a little bit about what's been in your calendar. Like, folk and forge is so fun. How was it? How were all the little kids in the mushroom costumes? [00:05:38] Speaker A: Oh, it was so good. Yeah. It's such like a beautiful, wholesome vessel is at a new location that I haven't actually been to yet. And so. And that was really fun getting to experience that with Max. It was his first Falcon forage as well. But, yeah, we had a great time. The weather was a little iffy, like definitely Mayweather over the Cascades, where it was like a little bit rainy, but also really beautiful and then sunny and then rainy and then beautiful and sunny and rainy and then. Yeah, so over and over again. But it was a great weekend we had. It was super short. I wish we could have stayed on Sunday night because that's like just like really chill and really lovely and handmade moments. We're actually playing that night, which I'm sad that we missed them. But all the other music throughout the weekend was incredible as well. It was just really fun to hang out with the crew and get everyone together and just like, chill and also just. Man, it was so necessary for me to like sleep in and recharge and stuff as well. It was really nice to like, honestly not be home where we feel like you have to like, do projects and things like that. We literally slept in until like 9:30 every day and just relaxed and like, I got to my book and ride my bike around and just like. Yeah, it was just really like, soul filling. And so I'm very excited about this weekend for that, like, aspect of it as well. Just getting to like, chill and lay laid down and not feel like you have to like, run around and do a million things. But anyways, yeah, Fulcrum Forge is always the best. And it's so fun that all the friends are there and yeah, all the babies were having so much fun. And the new location was so rad. So that was really cool. And yeah, the music is always incredible. We end up going to one of the, like, mushroom classes. It was about like, macro identification, which is really cool. We did learn some new things just about like, you know, because mushrooms are scary a little bit. And so it's just interesting to think, like, break down the mushroom in different aspects of it so that you can like, decide if it's actually, you know, do a better idea or get a better Idea of like, identifying it and get the actual in case you want to eat it or whatever. So, yeah, it was really cool and we learned a lot. But also it was just like, fun. Fun to hang with the homies and dance and listen to music and. Yeah. But it was just like a great again, kickoff to the summer activities because we got lots more music festivals coming. Matt did great also. It was his. I was like, asked him at one point. I was like, is this what you expected? And he was like, yeah, for sure. And I was like, there's no way. You had no idea what to expect because it's just like this magical fairyland in the middle of the woods that's like, created by Austin and Kayla. And yeah, I was like, there's no way you knew what to expect coming to this because, no, I didn't even know what to expect. Like, it's so beautiful and so just like. Yeah, the lights are stunning. The. His artwork is stunning. Like all of it. I'm just. Yeah, I'm so impressed every time that, like, it comes together and like, it's such a chill group of people and everyone's homies and. Yeah, it's so fun. So we're sad that you couldn't make it, but it was incredible. Um, yeah, well, next year we'll definitely have to, like, get it on the docket, so. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. [00:08:45] Speaker B: That's so great. I'm really sad that I missed it. I was thinking about it all weekend long when I was like, outside doing yard work. I just like, there was a bunch of powdery mildew that's been coming up on my boxwoods outside. So I just spent like eight hours this last weekend chopping. I gave a lot of bushes. Like, there's a lot of bushes in my front yard. I gave them a really big haircut, so it's just a little bolt, but much needed. They're already looking a lot better over the last couple of days. So. Yeah. And then we just went to the dump today because we had a lot of like, organic material from my yard and we just like, we weren't going to be able to compost at all that it was like, it just wasn't going to happen. So we ended up going to the dump and they charged us $108 for my husband's like, five foot bed truck. Isn't that so expensive? $108 just to dump? [00:09:38] Speaker A: What was it? [00:09:39] Speaker B: It was just compost. [00:09:40] Speaker A: What was in there? [00:09:40] Speaker B: It's just like trash. No, it's just like pine needles and Dirt and like. Whoa. Like, really sticks and stuff that we just like, picked up from the yard over the last three or four days that we've been doing yard work. And. Yeah, it wasn't even like a heaping pile. They charged us a hundred dollars over there at Hillsborough. [00:09:59] Speaker A: That. [00:09:59] Speaker B: Isn't that ridiculous? I was flabbergasted. [00:10:02] Speaker A: Crazy. [00:10:03] Speaker B: I know. [00:10:03] Speaker A: You're like, what do you. I could just throw it in someone else's yard. Like, you want me to do that? [00:10:07] Speaker B: I spent like the 30 minutes coming back there to our house, and every time we saw like a little out turn on the road, we're like, we could have stopped there. We could have stopped there. We could have stopped there and just like, dumped it in. [00:10:18] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:10:18] Speaker B: It was ridiculous. So. And they made us wear these like, little hard hats and fluorescent vests. It was surreal. It was really weird. Yeah. Anyway. Yeah. [00:10:30] Speaker A: Yeah. Okay. That's very confusing. I feel like. I mean, that's just like city life, I guess for us. We're just like, not from the city and so we're like, what? You have to like, pay money to, like, get rid of that Kind of like, literally burn everything, you know? [00:10:44] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:10:44] Speaker A: Like, if it's a burn day, you just, like, burn it and it's fine. [00:10:47] Speaker B: I know. So I. I've had to go to the dump as a kid when we, like, were taking apart some rental mobile home or some like. This is like, it's not my first time going to a dump. It's my first time going to, like, someplace in Oregon that charges you $100 to, like, just put sticks and dirt down. Which, I don't know. I just found it ridiculous. So I'm a little offended by Hillsboro and waste management there, but whatever. Anyway. [00:11:18] Speaker A: Shoot. Was that all just from this last winter? Have you guys already done that before? Or is it like all bunch of build ups? It's a bunch of. [00:11:24] Speaker B: It's probably like two years that I've been working and there's like various piles. There's a really big pile in my backyard that I've been dealing with for the last two. There was another one over here by my neighbor's yard. And then this last weekend, because I just gave everybody a really big haircut. There was a lot. It was just a lot of stuff. And it's not even all the way done. Like, I have. We have the green compost thing that, like, the people take every week. [00:11:49] Speaker A: Oh. [00:11:49] Speaker B: But it's every other week here, so it takes forever and a day to, like, get it off the land. You know, or get it off my property, so. Totally. [00:12:00] Speaker A: Yeah, I do that sometimes. I just save it and I just fill it completely. And then I wait till the next week or whatever, and I feel it again. [00:12:08] Speaker B: And I feel like we shouldn't have to do that, but there's just so much on my yard anyway. It's coming along, though. I feel like the last two. [00:12:16] Speaker A: I was gonna say, the more you do it, the better it's gonna get. [00:12:19] Speaker B: Like, every year, it looks really good in comparison to when we first moved in here. And my hydrangeas are about to pop. Like, my rhododendrons are huge. They're super, like, pink. They're so beautiful. My hydrangeas are about to pop, and I just fertilized them with nitrates. I'm hoping that they'll be, like, really bright and blue. [00:12:39] Speaker A: Oh, fun. Yeah. When we were driving over the Cascades last weekend, like, all the hydrangea or rhododendrons, I mean, even the hydrangeas, too, I can't remember. I feel like rhododendrons, the one I'm thinking of, there's just like, they're everywhere. Huge bushes everywhere in every single person's yard. Like, every single person has one. And I was just like, wow. They're all, like, popping right at this very moment. So. Yeah, it's very cool. [00:13:00] Speaker B: They're very. They're really. They're everywhere, but they're so beautiful. [00:13:04] Speaker A: Yeah. We just don't get those kind of flowers over here on this side of the Cascades. You know what I mean? [00:13:09] Speaker B: I do watch this woman on YouTube, and she's in. Oh, my gosh. Where is she? She's by you. I think she's just south of you in, like, I don't know, maybe lapine. I don't know. I need to find it. I'll find it right now. Garden answer. And she's in. [00:13:30] Speaker A: Where is she? [00:13:33] Speaker B: Ontario. East Oregon. Where is that? [00:13:39] Speaker A: Ontario? Yeah. I don't know. [00:13:43] Speaker B: I don't know. Oh, let's see. From Bend, it's only. [00:13:50] Speaker A: Wow. [00:13:50] Speaker B: It's actually five hours east of you guys. [00:13:56] Speaker A: Wait, east? Well, that's really far. [00:13:58] Speaker B: Yeah, that's super far. Way past Burns. [00:14:01] Speaker A: Oh, wait. Ontario. Yeah. Wait, Ontario is, like, basically Idaho. [00:14:04] Speaker B: Yeah. I think it's on the border of Idaho. [00:14:07] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:14:08] Speaker B: Yeah. It's closer to Boise for sure. Anyway. But she is in Oregon, and she has, like, this massive yard. I'll send it to her. She always does, like, really good stuff, and she's in your zone. So, like, Anything that she puts on her zone, you guys should be able to grow yours. Talk to us about your plant. [00:14:29] Speaker A: Wait, I was gonna say, can I give an update on the garden? Because it is. [00:14:34] Speaker B: Yes, I want to hear about it. [00:14:36] Speaker A: Very upsetting. Okay, so we have been checking. I mean, obviously, everyone knows that we've been talking about the garden for a little bit now, but we've been checking the garden, like, every day, and it's, like, one of the things that, like, bring us joy. So, like, we were stoked to come back from our weekend because we were, like, coming back, and we're gonna be like, oh, wait, I. The garden's gonna be, like, probably extra popping because we've been gone for, like, three whole days. And so it's gonna be super exciting because we're gonna be like, wait, all these changes. All these things are, like, coming out and whatever, because we did, like, a combination of, like, little starts and seeds. And so, like, things are coming up at different times, and they're like, some of them are taking their sweet little time. Also, it got, like, really cold again. Anyways, all that to be said is we come back on Sunday, and as out of the rv, the mat, like, takes. It had. We had, like, the COVID on there because it was, like, kind of cold over the weekend. Like, the nights just get kind of cold still. And so we take the covers off of them, and, like, basically everything is eaten, like, destroyed. What. And we. We don't know what ate it. And so I think that's the most frustrating part. Like, it wasn't a bug. Like, definitely not a bug. Like, it's something bigger. So it's either, like, a scene. A squirrel or a rabbit or mice even. I don't know. Like, definitely a rodent. And so, like, all of our tiny little starts have been, like, literally just, like, clipped off. Like, they, like, look like it just got taken a bite out of all of our. Brought. Like, it left the tomato plant. [00:16:04] Speaker B: Somebody had a feast. [00:16:05] Speaker A: Yeah, literally. And since we were gone, I think because we were gone and Milo was gone, too. Like, there was no. You know, there's no activity whatsoever. And so, like, the. It left the tomatoes alone. Thankfully, it left alone the beets for whatever. It ate, like, some of the. The stalks of the beets, but didn't, like, pull them up or anything. But it literally ate, like, all of the herbs, all of the, like, all of the broccoli. It ate all of our, like, kale and, like, lettuce, and it ate literally everything. Just, like, it left the, like, marigolds and the asters, like, the pollinators that I planted in there, it just, like, took nipples out of, but didn't really, like, eat them fully. But, yeah, it was the most depressing thing to come back to because we, like, were extra excited to come home to, like, see the progress on the garden. And, like, everything was eliminated. Like, it's just, like, bare. You know, it's just, like, stock. Like, tiny little stubs, like, sticking out of the dirt. And we were just like, what? And so, yeah, Matt went straight, like. Yeah, he is. [00:17:10] Speaker B: He was furious. [00:17:11] Speaker A: Yeah, he is definitely going to. Yeah, he definitely, like, looked up all of these different things to, like, traps, and. Yeah, well, we were thinking, like. I was, like, just thinking, you know, like, trap, trap, you know, and just, like, killing whatever it is. And he was like, no, we need, like, a live trap. And I was like, okay, whatever. So he. Anyways, he, like, got a bunch. Got a bunch of chicken wire and like, completely, like, closed in the entire, like, garden area. And then completely is, like, gonna build, like, cages for all of our beds as well. And then, yeah, we got, like, this, like, rodent spray, which I did not know there was rodent spray. So, anyways, yeah, it was quite that. I'm sad to say. It is quite the update and not a positive way. So he got a bunch of new starts as far as, like, we got new broccoli, and he got new kale, and he got new lettuce and got new cilantro and that kind of stuff. So we can actually, like, plant, like, starts, because most of those things were from seed. And so I think that's, like, the harder blow is that if it came from seed, then it's just, like, such a setback, even though you can totally find starts again. But, yeah, he is, like, very, very sad about it, so. Yeah, I know, but we'll get there. I think it's also just, like, very early in the season still, and so I'm not that heartbroken. Yeah. And also, it's the only time that it could probably have eaten them because they're, like, such, like, a little vulnerable state, you know? Whereas if they were bigger plants, it probably wouldn't have even touched them, because it would have. That would have been way too overwhelming or whatever. [00:18:45] Speaker B: This is a good learning experience, though, because, like, if you're gonna be a serious gardener, then this is gonna happen. It's just. [00:18:52] Speaker A: You know, I'm just shocked because, like, I was telling Matt, I was like, I have lived in bed, and I've had three Successful gardens. And I have never had anything happen. Like, yeah, there's bugs. Like, sometimes, like, there's the worms and whatever. But, like, literally nothing that's, like, eaten the entire garden like that before. Like, that's nuts. I don't know. [00:19:11] Speaker B: I'm just shocked. [00:19:12] Speaker A: I, like, cannot really fully believe it. Yeah. [00:19:17] Speaker B: So do you think it was, like, a bird? It might have been. [00:19:20] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. Matt was thinking a bird, too. I think it's a bunny. But I also don't know how the bunny got up into bunny. The, like. Because you know how we have the, like, herb ladder, like, next to the beds? The only thing he could have done is, like, jump up the ladder to get onto the beds. Because otherwise it has to be a mouse, because nothing else can jump up in that higher. [00:19:37] Speaker B: To the bed. Spider man bunny. Yeah. [00:19:39] Speaker A: I don't know. Yeah. [00:19:43] Speaker B: I hope it's not a mouse, though. You don't want, like, rodents. I know. [00:19:46] Speaker A: We were. [00:19:47] Speaker B: I'm really worried that I have rodents in my house. [00:19:49] Speaker A: So. In your house? [00:19:50] Speaker B: This isn't learning it, like, in the walls. You know what I mean? Or, like, under the house. I don't know. Because we have the people that come by, like, every month or something, and they spray for bugs and spiders and whatever, and they keep mentioning rodents. And my husband found a bunny or a. Found a mouse in the wood shop. So he. And it got. You know, he was, like, in the trap. [00:20:11] Speaker A: He found it. [00:20:12] Speaker B: So, like, I'm wondering if there's. There's probably more, but this is a good experience to, like, figure out what you're susceptible to, how to protect your garden moving forward, what pests and, like, things that you can do to mitigate pests in the future. Because, like, I got squirrels galore at my house. If squirrels were, like. If I could get them within a trap, then I absolutely would. But, like, they. They won't go in a trap because they're smart. But that's why I haven't invested in a whole bunch of, like, vegetables. I've just been doing tulips. I've just been doing, like, flowers and stuff. Because I know as soon as I plant, like, some kind of pea or, you know, some kind of vegetable, those squirrels are gonna come and wage war on my ass. And I don't. I am unprepared for that. Anyway, I'm so sorry, though. I know that you guys were so jazzed about it. It's still early. [00:21:09] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, it's okay. Yeah, totally. That's the only. I mean, the other thing kind of what you just said, what Matt was like, I feel like it's good that we, like, are going through all these things now because next year will just hopefully be, like, you know, super chill and super laid back because we already have the entire area, like, blocked off and. Yeah. [00:21:27] Speaker B: Kind of annoying or whatever you want to, unfortunately. [00:21:31] Speaker A: Yeah, totally. We're getting there. We're getting there eventually, but. Yeah, that's our garden update as of now. I'm still very excited about all the things that are growing in there, though. Like, all the things that we. We grew from seed that are still doing well. I'm, like, very excited about. So, I mean, your strawberries. Yeah, the strawberries look great. They didn't touch the. Okay. So funny. Yeah, they didn't touch the strawberries. They didn't touch the mint. They didn't touch the carrots, which is on the lad. Yeah, they're on the very bottom of the ladder as well, so definitely could reach those. It didn't touch. Yeah, like I said, the beets and the tomatoes. So those are, like, the important things to me. I'm, like, very excited. Oh, the potatoes. That didn't touch the potatoes either. Or the sweet potatoes. So, yeah, that's really interesting. It has, like, its specifics that it loves anyway. The cruciferous vegetables, apparently. But yeah, so here we go. We're. I'll try to give you an update next time we record. [00:22:27] Speaker B: Yeah, let me know where the garden. Hopefully this is the last time that you have to deal with this nonsense. I did want to mention because we [00:22:34] Speaker A: were talking about strawberries. [00:22:35] Speaker B: I walked down to the Tiger. They have, like, that farmer's market every Sunday or something. Yeah, it's every Sunday. And I was walking around the market, and I could just smell in the air, like, ripe strawberries. You know when you, like. Right. Like, you go to a fruit stand or whatever, and it just smells, like ripe, delicious, juicy, like ruby red strawberries. Yeah. I wanted to buy one, but they wanted, like, 35 for, like, a huge carton of it, which I thought was a little pricey for some. [00:23:05] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. That's a lot. [00:23:07] Speaker B: I know that I was, like, at the Target, the Tiger market, so it's, like, right downtown. And that's. That's, like. I get. That's a high price point, but I just couldn't bring myself. [00:23:16] Speaker A: Yeah, no, I'm sorry. Even if they're, like, the most purest of the earth, that's still crazy. [00:23:22] Speaker B: They smell really good. So I looked really good, went to [00:23:26] Speaker A: the farmer's market because it Just started two Wednesdays ago, the farmer's market downtown again. And I went to last Wednesday because I just happened to, like, have an appointment at that time. So I just, like, swung by within the last, like, 10 minutes of the farmers market being open. And, yeah, I got strawberries. And they are literally just, like, melt in your mouth, like, so good. Yeah, they just remind me of California and just, like, getting, like, road strawberries, you know, off the side of the road. Oh, they're the best when they're warm, too. [00:23:54] Speaker B: Oh. Oh, yeah, when they're warm. So good. [00:23:57] Speaker A: But I got, like. I'm pretty sure, like, my cartons, you know, the, like, green thingies. I got three of those for, like, $12, I think, which is, like, expensive. [00:24:07] Speaker B: Yeah, I still think it's expensive. [00:24:10] Speaker A: But for it being fresh, like, organic, local, I feel like 12 is not that bad. But also, there's a guy there, a mushroom guy. And I thought it was so fitting since we were going to Falcon forage, and he is selling these huge, beautiful mushrooms. Like, I got. Oh, my God, I already forgot what they're called. I got oysters, obviously. I got, like, a salmon oyster, and then just like, oh, yeah, a yellow oyster mushroom. And I actually cooked those up with steak on Saturday night when we were at Falcon Forge. And then the other ones I got. Oh, they're porcinis. I got. And they. So he was like, since the end of the day, like, if you want, you can. It's buy one, get one half off or whatever. So I ended up getting two cartons, and they're like, huge carton of mushies, but excellent. Yeah. Anyway, so it was just. I forget that I do love a porcini. Love that kind of stuff. And it's so funny because, like, when you're at the farmer's market and I'm like, 14 for mushrooms. Yeah, of course I'm gonna spend that. That's nothing. And. But I would I ever spend 14 on mushrooms at the grocery store? Hell, no. [00:25:08] Speaker B: Absolutely. [00:25:08] Speaker A: But at the farmer's market, it's like, money doesn't matter. It's like, yeah, of course. That's such a good deal. Like, obviously. [00:25:14] Speaker B: Anyway, I guess I'm hoping that it goes directly to, like, the farmer, but I don't know that for certain. So maybe that's just like, the. On that. [00:25:23] Speaker A: But I was literally thinking. Matt and I were talking about it last night as well, because of our garden, and we're like, we would. We were, like, just so excited about saving so much money on groceries and blah, blah, Blah, blah. And I was like, how much would we actually have to grow in order to make a profit? Because yeah, it does seem expensive, but like, if you know where your food is coming from and like, whatever, and they are making money on it, they have to charge more money than that even, because how much of it gets wasted anyways? You know what I mean? Or it goes bad or whatever. Like they have to charge a ton of money because I don't know, I mean, just with the amount of money we spent on like soil and fertilizer and starters and water and making the beds and all this, I'm like, yeah, you have to charge a ton in order to get paid back. Yeah, like, that's insane. [00:26:09] Speaker B: We should probably have a farmer on here to tell us about all their profit and loss and strategies in their p. L. Sheets. [00:26:17] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm sure they have it down to a science now at this point, but it's crazy. I just find it. [00:26:22] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:26:22] Speaker A: So I will pay whatever they want me to pay, honestly, at this point. [00:26:25] Speaker B: So, yeah, I'm still gonna be mad about 35 for carton. [00:26:29] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, no, that's criminal for sure. Anyone? [00:26:33] Speaker B: I have a question for you really fast. [00:26:34] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:26:34] Speaker B: What is your like death row meal? You know how people are like, okay, you're on death row, your last meal, like, what would you pick? [00:26:44] Speaker A: I'm like, super simple. I feel like mine would be like, I don't love when people say like lobster, blah, blah, blah. I'm like, okay, mine would be like a good ass burger and like my favorite kind of fries and a huge [00:26:58] Speaker B: vat of ranch because. [00:27:04] Speaker A: And like my dessert would be probably something like super simple. Just like ice cream cream and like froyo even, because I love soft serve ice cream so, so much. [00:27:15] Speaker B: Oh my God. Yeah, I was like, so close to going to the froyo. I was gonna text you. [00:27:21] Speaker A: I still want it. I drive by it like so often and I'm like, why? You can go get it, but I just won't. [00:27:28] Speaker B: I think that's like a hill that I would die on. Like, I'm a millennial girl white chick lady who just like loves her froyo. So just like, come at me. I don't care. So for my death row meal, it's definitely like, I. And like, just give me a vat of strawberries like that, like ripe, super fresh smelling delicious strawberries. Just like give me all of the strawberries. I will eat them all until I puke. Yeah, that would be my death row meal for sure. [00:27:57] Speaker A: But wow. [00:27:58] Speaker B: Burger Like I have this craving forever and always. I will always, forever crave, like, a really good burger. And I have not been able to find one. [00:28:08] Speaker A: I still haven't got one. You wanted1 like 2 weeks ago too, when you were coming over. [00:28:13] Speaker B: I know that's not one. For the life of me, I know. It's fine. It's just one of those things. Like I. Every burger, there's just something lacking or there's like something missing or some they did it wrong or it's too squishy or it's not done enough or whatever. [00:28:28] Speaker A: Oh, my God. [00:28:29] Speaker B: It's like not enough meat to vegetable ratio. [00:28:31] Speaker A: Guess what? I'm very particular. We're gonna get in and out. We're gonna get in and out. On the way down or the way. [00:28:37] Speaker B: I know. [00:28:38] Speaker A: So that will be your little burger fix. [00:28:40] Speaker B: But I don't know. [00:28:42] Speaker A: I don't know if that like, is fulfilling the need that you are discussing right now. But. [00:28:46] Speaker B: No, it's close. But I'm. No, not quite. I need like a gourmet burger. You know what I mean? [00:28:53] Speaker A: Okay. [00:28:53] Speaker B: Yeah, I'll take in and out. What is every day. [00:28:56] Speaker A: You know how, like all the gourmet burgers, it's like the like onion ring with the barbecue sauce or like it's like the gorgonzola cheese with like the caramelized onions. Like, what is your gourmet burger? [00:29:07] Speaker B: Definitely like no Gorgonzola because I can't do blue cheese. [00:29:11] Speaker A: Okay. [00:29:11] Speaker B: That's not for me. Okay. But I do like the idea of a burger with like a mushroom like thing. Like a mushroom gravy or something. [00:29:21] Speaker A: Okay. It's pretty delicious. [00:29:23] Speaker B: Whoa. Definitely a ton of iceberg or like some kind of like a thicker lettuce ratio. Like one little slice of lettuce is not the game. Okay. I actually want to like taste the lettuce. Like, or a heaping helper, whatever of that. Fresh onions for sure. Tomato. I want like a beef steak tomato. Like a big fat, juicy one. [00:29:48] Speaker A: I think Connor can make this for you this weekend also because he's making smash burgers. [00:29:53] Speaker B: So those. Those are going to be like a little bit more. [00:29:55] Speaker A: I do love a smash burger. [00:29:57] Speaker B: Yeah, I think it'll be fun. I think the kids are gonna have a good. A good time with it. Plus we should probably do some like, chili or something. I didn't even think about that until right now. [00:30:07] Speaker A: That is what Spencer and Heather are gonna bring for Thursday night's meal. So I'm sure we'll have a little bit left Over. We could put on a burger, because that sounds. [00:30:15] Speaker B: Yeah. I'm, like, not mad at a messy burger. I don't have to be, like, all prim and proper about it. Like, it just all over my face dripping with grease. I don't care. I think that would be good. [00:30:24] Speaker A: I'm not shocked, but I also am shocked. That burger would be your death row meal. For some reason. I feel like you would be fancy, girl. You would want, like, charcuterie board or something like that. [00:30:35] Speaker B: Oh, okay. I mean, no, I definitely would want, like, just a, like, the world's best burger that's just, like, craving or, like, ticks all my boxes and it hits my. Craving. Yeah. I would send me off to the other. [00:30:48] Speaker A: The. [00:30:49] Speaker B: The afterlife with that in my tongue. I think it'd be happy because, like, steak would be okay, but I don't know. Steak is just one of those things that people get wrong all of the time, which is. Pittsburgh pisses me off. And I'll just, like, be dead mad because I didn't get the kind of steak that I wanted, so. [00:31:05] Speaker A: That's fair. 100. [00:31:07] Speaker B: But mostly strawberries. I would say, like, if anything, just give me, like, a teaspoon of ice cream and, like, two acres of fresh, delicious strawberries, and I'll eat it all, like, strawberries with just a little bit of sugar on top of it. Oh, forget it. That's what I ate as a kid all the time. [00:31:26] Speaker A: Yum. That sounds so good. [00:31:27] Speaker B: We should make a, like. Yeah, we should do, like, a baked, like, cake. Strawberry cake or some kind of, like, cupcake thing. That would be really fun. [00:31:37] Speaker A: Or strawberry shortcake sitch. [00:31:39] Speaker B: Oh, strawberry shortcake sounds delish. Oh, my God. I'm excited. I think it'll be fun for strawberry. [00:31:45] Speaker A: Yeah, I think it'll be great as well. We're gonna miss mom a lot. But that's okay. It will survive. We'll figure out the food situation, and we'll. We'll get there. I'm gonna go to Costco tonight, Mom. [00:31:56] Speaker B: I mean, we're gonna. [00:31:57] Speaker A: Yeah, we're gonna starve today. [00:31:59] Speaker B: Don't let me forget my tickets. I literally put my ticket in my car. [00:32:04] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:32:04] Speaker B: Right now. [00:32:05] Speaker A: Same. I need to do that too. Okay. I'm gonna put that on my list right this second. [00:32:11] Speaker B: Yep. We're at, like, 30ish minutes. Do we want to do gratitudes and grievances? [00:32:16] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:32:17] Speaker B: And maybe save. We have, like, games and stuff, but we can always, like, tease that for later. [00:32:23] Speaker A: Yeah, absolutely. We just want to do a little hop on here. And say hi to everybody and see how everyone was doing. But we. Do you want to start with your gratitude agreements? [00:32:34] Speaker B: Yeah, I want to do. My grievance is definitely waste management Hillsboro. Like just mad disappointed. I can't believe they gave me a hard hat to like unload dirt from the back of my truck. It was hilarious. [00:32:47] Speaker A: I wish I just got to see that. [00:32:49] Speaker B: I feel like. And I'm such a. I'm not really good at like the tick tocking and posting and stuff. But if I. If I had thought that if I had like remembered to have posted, I've been just like, look at how trash [00:33:03] Speaker A: this trash place is. [00:33:04] Speaker B: It's just full of trash people. It's just trash. [00:33:07] Speaker A: That's so funny. I love it sucked. [00:33:12] Speaker B: That's my graven. [00:33:14] Speaker A: I think my grievance. Yeah. We've kind of already talked about them both. I definitely think it will be the rodent situation in the garden because that was such a bummer to come back to and just. Yeah. Really big setback to the whole team on. On this house front. [00:33:28] Speaker B: Excited about it, right? Like, yeah. Scorched earth. Okay, good. [00:33:32] Speaker A: Yeah. 100. Yeah. No, he definitely like already rebought a bunch of starts and stuff and he's like ready to replant things. So we'll see if by the time I come out of of work today if he's already replanted the full bed that got eliminated. But yeah, I think that we are just in a learning curve of trying to figure it out. And he's never done a garden before and so he's just like, is this normal? Like what is happening? And I'm like, no, it's not normal. Like, I'm sorry. So anyways, he's just like extra bummed because of that. But it's okay. We will get there and we'll. We're gonna have a popping garden by August. We're gonna have food like farm to table for every single meal. And I'm gonna get so good at making all these random ass meals out of these weird like herbs and that we're growing. Cuz it's great. Here we go. [00:34:21] Speaker B: But here we go. [00:34:22] Speaker A: Definitely. Definitely a sad, sad thing to come back to on Sunday. That was not great. And then going straight into the work week. But it is. [00:34:31] Speaker B: Well kick us off with our. Our gratitudes. What do we want? [00:34:34] Speaker A: Very grateful just for Squish and how lovely everyone is, how wonderful Falcon forages and just like how chill and like fun of a community it is to be part of. And like I'M very grateful for all of them because, yeah, we just, like, had someone saving us a spot for when we got there because we did get there pretty late considering the festival started, like, on Friday morning. Ish. Or I guess midday. And so we had, like, a spot for our huge SRV and, like, a good spot to come into and just got to camp next to all of our friends and it was just so fun to, like, get to hang out in the RV and play games and dance. Dance and do all the things. And I just. Yeah, it's sad when we don't get to see each other for a long time just because, like, yeah, this last year has been kind of weird and, like, people have been going through a lot of different things, like having babies and. Yeah, just lots of, like, life transitions. And so I feel like we haven't got to hang out as much as we used to. So it's just really fun to get back in the community and, like, all hang out and be together and. Yeah. So I'm very grateful for Squish. [00:35:37] Speaker B: That's really sweet. [00:35:38] Speaker A: Yeah, we love Squish. Yeah, definitely. A thousand percent. But anyways, that's it from us, everybody. We will let you know as soon as we get back from Strawberry.
