[00:00:18] Speaker A: Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome. Welcome to Candy. Yeah, exactly. I was about to say hi. How are you? [00:00:32] Speaker B: Whoopsie doozle. Hey. I'm good. Happy we're officially recording on the Tuesday of this week. It's good. [00:00:41] Speaker A: We. We may have. [00:00:43] Speaker B: I know life has been a little bit busy. [00:00:45] Speaker A: Yeah, that's okay. [00:00:48] Speaker B: We've had a really fun couple of days though. Like Kelly's birthday. We're gonna chit chat about, I'm sure, my road trip. Yeah, yeah, it's been. This week has been just like exhausting. I don't know if it's because I haven't like, had a full day to rest and recover. Like, I'm still technically doing my laundry and it's Tuesday, which means I'm really behind on life. [00:01:10] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:01:10] Speaker B: But, yeah, anyway, same. [00:01:11] Speaker A: Oh, man. [00:01:12] Speaker B: How are you? [00:01:13] Speaker A: Well, I just want to say welcome to the podcast where we candidly navigate life's toughest moments and topics. This is Kelly. [00:01:21] Speaker B: This is Gay Flirt. Good job. You're so professional. [00:01:23] Speaker A: I know. No, I'm just kidding. I'm just like reading off the docket. But anyway, yeah, I'm doing okay again. We are. Yeah. I just feel pooped today for some reason. Like, it's a real Tuesday. I. Yeah, work is so weird right now. I don't really know how much I want to like, actually get into it because it's so complicated and like, really hard to explain. Work is just stupid right now. But yeah, so that. And then I just like went to bed a little too late last night. Whoopsie daisy. Yeah, we were just like watching I'm not gonna lie and did not get a bed at a normal time. So I'm feeling it today. Which usually I like feel it like the following, like two days later, you know. But yeah, today I'm definitely feeling a little sluggish. [00:02:05] Speaker B: Oh, I was like. Because Kelly had texted me the other day and was like, cool, record Monday night. And I got home at like 5:30 or something or 6:00 clock because yesterday was also a very long day. And I checked your location and I don't know where you were, but you were like out and about and I was exhausted. So I'm kind of glad that we didn't last night. [00:02:24] Speaker A: Okay. Yeah. [00:02:25] Speaker B: But I definitely stalk your location. [00:02:27] Speaker A: Yeah, I literally just like, was like, oh, yeah, I'll totally like come home because I knew that I would. Was gonna go to yoga and then go to like mug club, because that's what we do like every Monday. And I was like, I'll for sure be Home by like seven, like, definitely. And then I like, our friend was singing at this bar and so I just like went over there with a bunch of other people and yeah, did not even think about it until this morning. And I was like, oh my God. I just ghosted her. Like, I'm such an. [00:02:53] Speaker B: She texted me, hold up, let me like, look at ye. [00:02:55] Speaker A: Probably like, I don't even know. But it was the first thing I thought about when I like got to work this morning. I was like, oh my God. [00:03:02] Speaker B: Yeah. 6:34am Kelly, text me. Oh, shoot, I'm sorry, I totally forgot. No, but it's also on me. Like, I would definitely subscribe to the. I'll take some of that responsibility because I looked at your location and I could have just been like texting you and like reminding you, but I was low key, like excited to just sleep a little bit. [00:03:22] Speaker A: Yeah, anyway, absolutely. I mean, so, yeah, speaking of, let's. Do you want to do a little recap? So why. Yeah, we are a little sleepy, but Keith came to bed. [00:03:31] Speaker B: Well, this weekend we had like way too much fun. So I drove to Bend. It would have been Friday. I was late, of course, but it was really nice. We had like a slow morning and then I got packed and then got tube. And what did we do that night? We went out. Oh, that's right. We took you out for dinner. We had like a couple of girlfriends and Mateo. We were just like bouncing around downtown Bend like just a couple of cool cats. We were way too old to be doing that nowadays, but oh my gosh, I did wake up with like the slightest hangover on Saturday. [00:04:07] Speaker A: Baby. Yeah, you're telling me. It was so fun. So I just had like a very chaotic week. So I didn't. I don't know if I told because we didn't record last week, I don't think, but I like got food poisoning on Monday night. And so then I, yeah, I was very ill on Tuesday, did not go to work. I did a half day on Wednesday. And then I like worked from home on Thursday. There's a bunch of stuff that was happening with my house and so it was just like a very chaotic week. Plus we were like trying to get ready for the birthday party on Saturday. And so there was just so much going on and so many activities and it was just. Oh my God. I think I just like hit my maximum of like things that I could possibly do and get done. But anyways, so, yeah, it was pretty chaotic. So like Friday I was like, I don't have Any plans for my actual, actual birthday besides like going out to dinner and stuff with all of you? And so I like went on a super long hike in the morning and I like really wanted to get a pedicure and that was like the only things that I like really wanted to do. And then all of a sudden it's like five o' clock and I'm like, oh my God, what did I do today? Like literally it went by so fast. But it was great. Had a great actual birthday. And then like I got a flower delivery which was lovely. And then Mateo gave me his gift and so that was awesome. And then yeah, you came into town, which is such a good present. And then I got to go out with all my girly pops and it was so fun. And we had a friend that was dding and just driving us around, which was actually so clutch because we needed that honestly, because we got a little hyphy. [00:05:35] Speaker B: She's a champ. [00:05:35] Speaker A: Like actually beyond. And I was a little for myself. I don't know how that happened. But we were like waiting for this dinner reservation. [00:05:43] Speaker B: I know how that happened. [00:05:44] Speaker A: So I don't know if you, if anyone like has heard of Ken's from Portland. So it was like a. It's a pizza restaurant in Portland and they like came to Bend and opened a location in Bend. So like it been open for probably like maybe a year at this point. But because it was so. It's so like sought after and people already knew about it from Portland that it was just like really hard to get into for the get go. And like they don't take reservations. So people are just like, you wait outside like in line for like ever and ever and ever for this place which is just like says what kind of food it is. But anyways. Kind of annoying. Yeah, super annoying. So anyways, good indication we, I think that the like hype has died down a little bit. Just. But it was a Friday night and whatever so we went and put our name in and then we like went to a bunch of other bars and we had already been at a bar and I had had two margaritas. Anyways, long story short is I was very drunk by the time that we get home and it was so fun. But yeah, this the next day I woke up and it was like go time for like getting ready for the party and I was dead. I was hurting pretty hard. So it was a lovely birthday. Fun. [00:06:51] Speaker B: But then, yeah, let's talk about Ken's really fast just to like give it a little review for our listeners. That are in bend. [00:06:58] Speaker A: For sure. [00:06:59] Speaker B: We got the meatballs, which are total clutch. Like, they were massive meatballs. [00:07:05] Speaker A: So good. Yeah, they were so good. [00:07:07] Speaker B: Sometimes I, like, don't really love a meatball with, like, crunchy bread crumbs, you know? Like, it kind of hurts my upper mouth because I'm just a little baby about it. But these were very soft and yummy. [00:07:18] Speaker A: Interesting, because I would never have ordered those, but they were so freaking. [00:07:22] Speaker B: Really? [00:07:23] Speaker A: Yeah. Like, I'm not, like, a. Yeah. Italian food girl in that way of like, oh, yeah, I have to have the meatballs. Like, no, I'm, like, eating pizza. I'm eating pizza with ranch. You know what I mean? [00:07:31] Speaker B: Like, okay. The pizza was also really good. We had, like, a hot honey pepperoni pizza. And then there was the mushroom pizza, which I really liked. I don't really care for the Caesar salad. Like, I am a Caesar salad, girly. Live, breathe, eat, and sleep Caesar salad. But when it comes with a full stock, like, a pile of full stock, like the Romano or like, the lettuce romaine. Thank you, Romano. I don't know. It's kind of annoying to have that as, like, a shared dish among the table. So I probably will skip that next time. Or maybe try just a different salad if they have, like, a. Because it's the summer or, like, at least the weather is getting a little bit warmer. I've been craving, like, a spinach and strawberry and a balsamic vinaigrette kind of, like, vibe. I do not mess around with gorgonzola or blue cheese. No, thank you. But, like, that kind of salad is something I've been craving. [00:08:31] Speaker A: Yeah. Matt and I were just. [00:08:32] Speaker B: I think it was good. It was really yummy. [00:08:33] Speaker A: Yeah, it was really delicious. Matt actually was just talking to me about last summer. We made a, like, watermelon feta salad. Like, mint feta watermelon salad for a friend's, like, barbecue. And he's like, why haven't we made that again? I'm like, because it's all watermelon season. Duh. But, yeah, we were talking about the other day. I was like, that actually sounds low key. So good. So I think that's on the doc. [00:08:54] Speaker B: Remember when we did. It was like, watermelon and then jalapeno. Was it your mom and me that were talking about this? We did that, like, salad last year. [00:09:03] Speaker A: I remember that one. [00:09:04] Speaker B: Yeah, it was like a watermelon, blueberry, jalapeno, maybe a feta cheese or, like, some kind of hot honey or something. I don't know. I'll find the recipe and pin it on Instagram again because that was, like, very, very good. [00:09:16] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. [00:09:17] Speaker B: We have to, like, bust out all of our summer recipes. [00:09:21] Speaker A: Maybe we should do an episode on that. Yeah, let's do it. [00:09:25] Speaker B: A taste test or something. It's been a really long time since we've done a taste. [00:09:28] Speaker A: Yeah, that's true. Anyway, she probably should bring that back, but, yeah, good point. Okay. Will you undo a little recap of Survivor Day? I feel like it was a great day, but Saturday, we cannot have done it without her. Did so much help and you guys [00:09:43] Speaker B: set up and we're so ready for it. Like, we woke up early. We had breakfast. Kelly made the most amazing, like, little scramble. And I love your breakfasts. They're always like chef's Kiss. And then we, like, decorated a little bit. We didn't get too crazy with the decorations, but they had a bouncy house. They had, like a full blown. We'll go into the Survivor and, like, how successful the party was. But, like, you know, as much as I'd like to say that I helped, I feel like Matt and you were just, like, on it. [00:10:10] Speaker A: You were. [00:10:11] Speaker B: Yeah. On the ball. So it was so fun. They had. How many people do you guys think you had? [00:10:16] Speaker A: Oh, good question. We didn't talk about it. Yeah, maybe you're somewhere around there at one point. [00:10:20] Speaker B: Like, I wouldn't be surprised if it was like 50 in total, tons of kids and families. Like I said, there was this cool bounce house. It had like a Super Mario theme, which worked out really well for, like, the later end of the Survivor game. Yeah, Yeah. I think, like, the party was great. And then the thing that I. I walked away feeling like was the most successful in that entire situation, which, like I said, we'll definitely go into it and we'll talk a little bit about the games and stuff. But this was like the merging of friend groups and so I got to meet wonderful new people. Everybody got along really well. I got to see people that I hadn't seen in a long time too, because, like, you know, they're still doing their family thing and it's not quite the summer yet, but this was a. It was an excellent, well crafted, well executed party. They had a keg, which I love. [00:11:11] Speaker A: Did you ever. [00:11:12] Speaker B: Did anybody do besides Lindsay? [00:11:14] Speaker A: Did you try it? [00:11:15] Speaker B: Yeah, I was. I think I had like two or three drinks of Mirror Pond and then. [00:11:21] Speaker A: That's funny. Yeah. [00:11:22] Speaker B: Because I was feeling a little icky that day. So I didn't do, like A lot of liquor or a lot of, like, those seltzer things. I just stuck to beer. [00:11:30] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:11:31] Speaker B: Which was good because I needed to, like, not get crunk, you know? [00:11:35] Speaker A: Wait, do we use where. [00:11:37] Speaker B: I don't know. Nobody says that. Right? That was so. Scratch that. What are the kids saying now? Like, loopy doopy. [00:11:48] Speaker A: Oh, honestly, I do not know any of. I'm so out of the loop on that. That's hilarious. [00:11:52] Speaker B: Are you friends with any, like, Gen Z people? [00:11:54] Speaker A: Not. And I just see them say things on Tik Tok, and they sound crazy. Wait. [00:12:00] Speaker B: Yeah, my. I don't have any friends in Gen Z either. We need to, like, open up our friend group. [00:12:06] Speaker A: Apparently, [00:12:10] Speaker B: You know me. She was so good at the party, too. She was just saying hi to everybody. [00:12:18] Speaker A: Yeah. She was literally eating everything that a little kid would hand to her, so she. I mean, she pooped pretty normal for the last few days, so I feel like she's all right. But, yeah, that was scary for her, but I was like, damn, she's eating full pieces of pizza at this point, so. Yeah. [00:12:34] Speaker B: But anyway, she had a lot of human food. [00:12:36] Speaker A: It was really great. I feel like I didn't get to do much more than just, like, hug and say hi to, like, each person, which was great. Like, at some point, like, some. [00:12:45] Speaker B: Yeah. With 50 people there. [00:12:46] Speaker A: Yeah, that's hard. Someone, like, would come up to me and be like, hi. And I'm like, oh, my God. Hi. And then I would get, like, distracted or, like, pulled into another game or, like, someone else would grab me or be like, we need something for the house or for the party or, like, whatever the case may be. And so I feel like I just, like, got to say hi to everyone just for, like, a few seconds, which was to be expected, but kind of a bummer at the same time. But, like, not a terrible takeaway from it. It is what it is. But, yeah, the actual Survivor game, everybody got along. Yeah, we're. [00:13:12] Speaker B: Let's go through this, like, the framework. [00:13:13] Speaker A: Okay. [00:13:14] Speaker B: Okay. So there were 50 people there. Not everybody played Survivor, but we had four separate teams of, like, five or six people. And then there were. I don't even know how many, like, rounds there were, but the first thing that we did was a game of flip cup, and then you had to, like, puzzle out a word because there were letter solo cups or the red. Whatever the red cups. So, Yeah, I. I don't know if we should talk about the whole, like, iguana incident, but blue team definitely got the short end of the stick. On that one. [00:13:46] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:13:48] Speaker B: Okay. So then, like, pretty immediately, we had one team that got cut. So then you had three teams and five that then had to jimmy together. Like, very survivor esque. Everybody got a bucket, and there was, like, various pieces of material, like tiny little sticks and plastic extendable arms that you would find on, like, a really old Swiffer or, I don't know, nails and hammers and, like, a little. Oh, God, what is it called? Like, a switch army knife. So it was, like kind of a grab bag of a bunch of stuff. So people had to basically create a stick that you would then feed through a crab pot about, what, five to six and a half feet away? Like across the yard. [00:14:34] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:14:34] Speaker B: Which is very far. And then inside the crab pot, we had, like, a hanging keychain. And so you had to get the key on your little hook that you would, like, you know, MacGyvered and then bring it all the way back. It was. [00:14:49] Speaker A: You couldn't cross a line. [00:14:50] Speaker B: My team. Yeah, yeah. My team did not survive that round. So then, like, another team got cut. So you had two teams left of five or six people, and then it became kind of like everybody for themselves, right? [00:15:02] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:15:04] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh, and then I forgot we did the squeegee. So you have, like, a little ball. Squeegee ball, like, for a pool or something. And you had to, like, run across the yard and dunk it in a can of water and then run it back and then squeeze it out into an empty can of water to try and get, like, the water level in the right way. Lots of people have varying opinions. People cheated, and I'm just gonna have to live with it. It's totally fine. [00:15:31] Speaker A: I was gonna say I kind of want to backpedal a tiny bit because, like, so I was on the black. [00:15:35] Speaker B: Okay. [00:15:35] Speaker A: I got to choose my color. So that's why I chose the black team. So I was on the black team. K flare was on the red team. Matt was on the green team, and then Brooke was on the blue team. So we kind of had representation over, like, a team leader from, like, each little tribe. Yeah. And so. But Brooke was a good sport about getting eliminated very immediately. So blue team got voted off first. So then it was like, all three teams, and then we, as the black team ended up winning that. The stick making challenge. So then green and red went head to head to do the squeegee game, which Keith was talking about to. In order to, like, move forward to advance or whatever. The green team, all through the entire games were little cheaters and they definitely kind of work in. [00:16:22] Speaker B: People have varied opinions about what cheating means, but they definitely cheated. [00:16:28] Speaker A: So, yeah, we moved on to a 12. [00:16:30] Speaker B: It was a coordinated effort. [00:16:31] Speaker A: A 12 person, like, individual challenge where you had a little stick with a little circle on the top, and you had to put balance. A ball on it. And whoever. The first four people that lost their ball got eliminated. And then it went to a pairs. And so the pairs, we just drew names or drew numbers for who was paired up. So it was random. And Matt and I got placed against each other, and so we had to compete against each other. And I won that one, which was so fun. [00:17:00] Speaker B: Yes. What was the competition we were playing? [00:17:02] Speaker A: It's like a rope pole game. So you, like, stand on a bucket and you have a, like, throw, or any rope will do. And there's, like, slack in the middle. And so when they say go, you have to, like, pull the rope towards you to, like, pull the other person off of their bucket. So it's whoever touches the ground first loses. But yeah, so I was able to. It's like a pull and let go kind of situation. So, like, if they're pulling really hard to try to pull you off, you, like, let go. Yeah. And so then they fall backwards or whatever, which is what ended up happening with. With Matt and I. So I ended up beating him in that one, which was very fun. [00:17:35] Speaker B: Everybody at the party got all riled with it. It was very funny. [00:17:39] Speaker A: So that brought us down to four people. And then. Do you want to keep going? You keep. [00:17:44] Speaker B: So when that happened, we had beer pong. [00:17:47] Speaker A: Right. [00:17:48] Speaker B: So you had two different teams. And yeah, we had a really decent game of beer pong going there for a little bit. And I ended up taking. I subbed in for a pregnant lady who didn't want to do beer pong, which is probably the right call. And then I think it was. Oh, Scott. Scott and me were playing beer pong, and we got down. We, like, came back, and then we had one little cup left, and Kelly and Kevin beat us. [00:18:14] Speaker A: Yeah. So there was just two of us and pretty embarrassing and then. [00:18:18] Speaker B: But I will say Scott did successfully, like, bounce a ball in, which I think is like the epitome of beer pong challenge and strategy. And so I think that's, like, a really cool moment. Sorry, I just had to brag. Even though we technically lost. [00:18:31] Speaker A: No, it was great. [00:18:32] Speaker B: And then Kevin and Kelly were left. Right. You had the two people. And do you want to tell them the last thing that you. [00:18:38] Speaker A: So, Matt, I do want to Give Matt some credit too, because Matt came up with all the games. Like, I gave him some idea. [00:18:44] Speaker B: All the credit. [00:18:45] Speaker A: I did give him some ideas of, like, what I did last time and stuff, but I kind of wanted it to be switched up a little bit as well because a lot of the people that were. Did the last one were also playing this one. So anyways. But Matt came up with, like, the baseline of, like, the games. I just like, kind of helped him with, like, how the tribes should be split. And I also want to mention that we did split the tribes, like, beforehand so that there was like a. Some of my friends and some of his friends on each tribe. And so they got to meet other people. And then also they like, we created a little, like, text thread with all of them so they could, like, talk to each other beforehand and stuff. And like, some tribes created, like, themes for their color and like, they were just like, talking and, like, doing this. So it's actually, like, pretty fun. But anyway, so Kevin and I, Matt decided for a final round because it's like someone has to cross the actual, like, hypothetical and literal cross finish line. And so we played Mario Kart on the Nintendo Switch. And so I totally kicked Kevin's ass. And it wasn't even close. Like, not even remotely close. So I didn't even. We didn't even rig the games. And I won my own Survivor game. So it was. [00:19:50] Speaker B: Kelly didn't quote, unquote rig the game. [00:19:52] Speaker A: Okay. [00:19:53] Speaker B: She did win the entire. How could I have. I didn't even have to say that. I was like, you know, air quotes. And you could totally tell in my town. Anyway. [00:20:03] Speaker A: Oh, my gosh. [00:20:04] Speaker B: And I just really appreciate the, like, non. I don't know what happened in the universe, like, make this happen, but the bouncy house was Mario Kart theme. And then you, like, buried the lead with like, what's the last. [00:20:15] Speaker A: That was not intentional, to be completely honest. When I was looking for bouncy houses, I was going for the cheapest and the one that would had no weight limit because I knew there was going to be kids here, but I also knew that drunk adults were going to jump in it. And I was terrified for the ones, of course, 100 pound, like, weight limit or whatever. So. And yeah, there was definitely some boys. [00:20:35] Speaker B: What is that? Like a tiny little mini bouncy house. That is ridiculous. £100. [00:20:40] Speaker A: I think it's just so they don't get popped anymore. So hang on. Hey. [00:20:45] Speaker B: She agrees with me. [00:20:47] Speaker A: Hey. [00:20:49] Speaker B: I think that's ridiculous too, Myla. They should just not make those bouncy houses then. [00:20:54] Speaker A: That's crazy. Sorry, everybody. All right, she's gone. Yeah. So I just want to make sure that there was no, like, nothing was gonna happen when drunk people got into the bounce house, so it worked out for the best. And so it was super Mario themed, even though there was some funny, like, jungle themed ones and stuff. But they were like hundreds and hundreds of dollars to rent for like six hours, which I think is insane. Like, that's crazy. If anyone wants to buy a bouncy house and just rent it out to, like, all the friends, random parties and stuff, I think that's such a good idea because you would definitely make your money back because all you have to do is like roll up, roll it out, and then come back and pick it up and store it. I don't know. But yeah, definitely the cost margin is [00:21:32] Speaker B: on, like a business like that and if they actually are profitable. [00:21:35] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, that's. [00:21:37] Speaker B: It's an interesting, so curious idea. I don't know. [00:21:40] Speaker A: Anyway, I feel like it was a very successful birthday. Sunday was pretty chill. Cave very much so stayed just for [00:21:46] Speaker B: what we have to say. Thanks to Brooke for being DD and being amazing. Thanks to Lindsay for making the cake [00:21:53] Speaker A: and being on time and so yummy. I got like one bite of it. [00:21:57] Speaker B: Yeah, I don't even think I got a bite of it, actually. I had to. She made cookies too, so I got a good bit. Everybody attacked the crap out of that cake. That thing did not last, like 20 minutes, which it says something because her cakes are amazing. But, like, Matt gets the biggest thanks and credit because he spent weeks planning this. He spent all this time, like coordina with teams making sure that the pizza was on time. He had the beer and the keg and he put all the games together. He put all the buckets together like, mad, mad respect. [00:22:30] Speaker A: So good job, Matt. [00:22:31] Speaker B: I think he did a really good job. You guys both did. [00:22:34] Speaker A: It was. [00:22:35] Speaker B: It was good. [00:22:35] Speaker A: It was a lot of pre planning, but it was worth it. I think in the end I. I hope everyone had fun. It seemed like people had fun, so, yeah, it was a good time. [00:22:43] Speaker B: So do you think that you'll do, like a Survivor theme again next year? Are we going to, like, switch it up with like an amazing Race or a fe actor or something? Oh, my gosh. [00:22:52] Speaker A: I don't know. It depends on where we're at in life because I, as much as I love to host, it was also so much work. So I'm like, can you just go camping or something that's, like, cheap and basically. Yeah. I don't know. We'll see. [00:23:06] Speaker B: I will tell you, if it's a fear factor, I'm probably not gonna. I'm not gonna go, oh, my God. [00:23:11] Speaker A: Who even said fear vector? I would never do that. [00:23:14] Speaker B: I did just now. Now I'm, like, walking myself back from stating that I don't want to throw that out in the universe first because. No, I'm. I'm not really interested in. [00:23:21] Speaker A: You can do that for your birthday. How about. [00:23:22] Speaker B: Anyway. [00:23:24] Speaker A: That would be great. [00:23:25] Speaker B: It's hard. Pass on that anyhow. Yeah, it was a really good weekend. [00:23:29] Speaker A: And then Survivor Final is like next week, so we're already getting down to the wire. Yeah. So we're definitely gonna have to watch it all. [00:23:36] Speaker B: And this one's, like, a big season. They upped the Survivor. What is it, from 1 to 2 million dollars. There's been a bunch of, like, dramatic twists and turns. My mom's been talking to me, air off about it. [00:23:47] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:23:48] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:23:48] Speaker A: That's awesome. [00:23:50] Speaker B: And it was. Mother'. Did you call your mom? I'm sure you called your mom because [00:23:53] Speaker A: it was your birthday. I didn't call her, no. But I did talk to her, like, many times throughout the weekend, so. [00:23:59] Speaker B: Oh, good. [00:24:00] Speaker A: But hopefully I called her in, like, just in one more week, which is crazy. So we'll be down in California really soon, everybody. [00:24:10] Speaker B: Oh, my God. I haven't even wrapped my head around what we're doing for Strawberry. But that's okay. I will spend time this week doing that. [00:24:17] Speaker A: We'll get there. Yeah, yeah. [00:24:18] Speaker B: And then when I got back in town, I drove back on Sunday. Please tell me you did nothing on Sunday but just, like, relax and sit on the couch? [00:24:25] Speaker A: Oh, my God. No, I mean, I cleaned. Yeah. I mean, basically I cleaned the entire, like, yard and stuff and just try to, like, get stuff back in order. And I just, like, wanted to return things that we, like, borrowed from people. So we, like, went over to our neighbor's house and then we just got to catch up with her for a little bit because I didn't really get to talk to her at the party. She just, like, stopped by and, like, made it a. A salad, which was lovely. And so we just wanted to actually, like, catch up and talk to her and chat and whatever. But, yeah, it was a pretty successful day, I would say. It was very chill. I, like, took my time definitely cleaning up, but there was confetti everywhere. Kefler. [00:25:00] Speaker B: Oh, my God, those damn balloons. [00:25:04] Speaker A: Yeah, there's a such a Warrior. Because she, like, kept trying to blow up these balloons, and they just popped every single second, every time. But there's so much. A single balloon inside. [00:25:14] Speaker B: Oh, my God. [00:25:15] Speaker A: That went everywhere, all over the place yard. So it's so funny. [00:25:17] Speaker B: I will say blowing up balloons at your house was not that bad because. Because you have the, like, pump thing, which I really appreciate. But those balloons can rot in hell. Like, they wouldn't stay. They kept popping every which way. Every five freaking seconds. I must have blown up like a half a dozen or maybe a little bit more than a dozen balloons. Oh, my God. And they look so cute. They had like the little confetti inside of them. But when they popped, I. I'm so sorry. You're. There was confetti literally everywhere in all your flower beds and stuff. I'm so sorry. It's totally funny anyway. [00:25:49] Speaker A: It's just funny. It was like the epitome of like, the worst thing for the environment possible. And we're just kept throwing it all over it. But they are really cute. [00:25:58] Speaker B: They're really bad. [00:25:59] Speaker A: It's so funny. [00:26:00] Speaker B: But I do want to talk, like, for a few seconds about your gardening situation, because I was talking to my husband about we. We got like, this cabinet. It's a glass cabinet that has solar or like, let grow lights on the top of it. But I don't really know what to start in it. So I want to just, like, give props because you need to take pictures of your standing planters and the hide in the little. They're so cool. Tell everybody what you're growing. Because Kelly has a, like, official garden now. She's got stuff. [00:26:30] Speaker A: Yeah. Again, it's like, very much props to Matt because he built the planter beds and he did all the irrigation, but I just was the vision behind how to actually, like, do the garden and [00:26:40] Speaker B: whatever, but just the vision behind, like, how to do the whole garden. Just casually throwing that out there. [00:26:46] Speaker A: I mean, I just, like, know what I like, and, like, there's not a lot of things that grow in Bend, Oregon, to be completely honest. And so it's just like, kind of throwing at the wall. But I have had a successful garden before, so I kind of, like, know what I would like and what I like having and everything. But. Yeah, so we have this, like, herb. It's kind of like a standing. I don't know, you call it. There's just like a bunch of different things on like a ladder type of herb garden box planter situation. And so we have, like, lettuce in there and Dill and cilantro and basil and thyme and strawberries and mint and, like, a bunch of different stuff. So that one's really fun. And they're all, like, popping off. I actually was able to use some of the mint from my garden to make, like, an n a beverage for the party. I made like, a so fun. Mint, huckleberry, simple syrup, lime juice. Just like na situation because some of my friends don't drink and some of them are pregnant and just a bunch of stuff. But anyways, I think it turned out pretty good. It was like, kind of what I was hoping for. Just like something sparkly and fun and whatever. And then, yeah, we have, like, a bunch of tomatoes. We have four different kinds of tomato plants. We have, like, an heirloom and like, a yellow cherry tomato or, you know, the, like. Like, what are they called? It's like a eggplant tomatoes, kind of like a grape, but it's like in, like, a eggplant shape. You know what I'm talking about? They're like pear. They're like a pear shape. Anyway, we have one of those, and then we have, like, a big boy yellow. And then we have another, like, it's called, like, a Cherokee purple or something. And they're like a really pretty heirloom tomato as well. Anyway, and then we have broccoli. We have beet. We have golden beets, which I'm very excited about. I'm really excited about the carrots. [00:28:30] Speaker B: I love a golden bee. [00:28:31] Speaker A: All the car are popping up. We have. I planted a bunch of, like, flowers just, like, as pollinators in between everything. We have, like, peppers and jalapenos and shoot. Oh, lots of zucchini. And we have spaghetti squash. And yeah, we just have a bunch of random things, and they're all, like, popping. Oh, we have potatoes. The potatoes all just popped up. And then we have sweet potatoes as well. We got sweet potato slips when we were in Portland with Keith last time a few weekends ago. So those are doing really well. And so, yeah, the potatoes are, like, my favorite thing to grow. I'm really excited about those. And then I have, like, berry alley, which is like, I have two different types of blueberries and two different types of raspberries. And then I have some hearty kiwi berries over there. And so it's just kind of like, perfect along the side of the wall so that they get a lot of sun. And then also they can just, like, climb up the wall eventually. So, yeah, that's just like another part of the. The yard. But yeah, I'm very excited about the [00:29:25] Speaker B: like a full grown garden in the back too. It's going to be like a little garden oasis paradise. Nice. It's very cute. [00:29:31] Speaker A: It's very. It looks good. Yeah, Looks really good. Thank you. I'm very excited about it. And also it's just like fun going out there every day and like seeing how much things have grown. It is so hot today. Today is the hottest day we've had so far this year. It's like 88 degrees and it's like still 5:00 o' clock p.m. whatever. So. Yeah, it's pretty crazy that we're already here and we're. Yeah. So I mean, just excited for things to pop up more and more. We're like now watering twice a day just so we can get them to spring up. But I'm so excited. I can't wait for you all to have them and give some to you because we're gonna have. [00:29:59] Speaker B: I know. [00:30:00] Speaker A: Fingers crossed across too much and that's like the ideal situation. So. Yeah, all I wish is for you [00:30:05] Speaker B: to have a very fruitful garden so that I can partake else, you know, as well as you and all the other people in Bend. [00:30:11] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:30:11] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:30:11] Speaker A: Matt is really excited about having like a full meal from like the Bend organ area because we have our cow. I know I've talked about it on here. But we have Rick and then we have like of course like our salmon and like rockfish and everything we get. [00:30:24] Speaker B: They named their cow Rick. They like a butcher. [00:30:28] Speaker A: Very specific. Yeah. [00:30:30] Speaker B: So they named it. Yeah. [00:30:32] Speaker A: So we can have a meal with like sweet potato and Rick, like a steak and like some veggie like broccoli or tomato, whatever from the garden salad. That would be so awesome. That's like our goal. So it'll happen. [00:30:46] Speaker B: We're going probably like what are you doing for fourth of July? You'll probably do that for fourth of July. [00:30:50] Speaker A: So fun. [00:30:51] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:30:52] Speaker A: Anyway. [00:30:52] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:30:53] Speaker A: Yeah. But we do. I'm excited to hear about your garden, what you plan on doing in it. That would be fun. Awesome. Yeah. [00:31:00] Speaker B: Well, it's Portland so I feel. And my, my house in particular doesn't have as much sun exposure as your house. So I have to be like a little deliberate with it. So I started from seeds, these little sweet peas that I think are going to grow really well in the front yard. I have to spend a lot of time doing yard work this weekend because I have powdery mildew on like a few of my larger plants. So I've got a of lot like, get that crap out of there, spray it and then actually get my. Because now my little seedlings are maybe 2 inches off of the. [00:31:34] Speaker A: That's awesome. [00:31:34] Speaker B: Yeah, they look really good. They're ready to be like, officially planted in their. Some in their like home. But I got to get the standing planter ready and just gotta, you know, get my green thumb out. And that's this weekend, so we'll figure it out. [00:31:46] Speaker A: Great. [00:31:47] Speaker B: But I am really jazzed about this like, new tick tocky thing that's going [00:31:52] Speaker A: on about do something kind of what we're doing and kind of fun. There's a trend going around tick tock right now. And it's like they like top five horror movies is like what they're calling in. There's like a specific sound that goes with it and stuff as well. But it's basically just like your pet peeves or just like icks or just like things that are kind of funny, that are like kind of silly that fall into this category for you. So like, you know, we love talking about grievances. You know, we love talking about icks and pet peeves. So this is just like right up our alley, I feel like. So we each wrote down five and. And how do you want to do it? Do you want to go back and forth or just like each talk about our own and then we can go to the other person? [00:32:32] Speaker B: No, let's do back and forth. That's kind of fun because I. The commentary is hello, like our gold. [00:32:37] Speaker A: So. Yeah, absolutely. [00:32:38] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:32:39] Speaker A: And what's funny too is like, there's been a lot of them that I've seen that are like a theme, you know. So like, for example, like, it's like when someone doesn't like. Or when like my iced coffee melts or like when someone doesn't hand me my iced coffee in like an appropriate amount of time. Like, it's like all five of them are like, related to like iced coffee or whatever. I've seen a lot of political ones, whatever, but like, that's not how I structured mine. But some of them are just like really funny and really silly. So these are my list. So my first horror movie is when someone at work like messages me on teams and just says, hi, Kelly or hi or hey and no other words. And they're like, waiting for me to like, respond, you know, And I just like instantly panic and I like go to straight anxiety area where I'm just like, oh my God, they hate me. Oh my God, I did something wrong. Oh my God, oh my God. Oh, my God. And like, that just drives me crazy. I'm like, just tell me what the hell you want. Like, right off the bat so I don't have to wonder. [00:33:35] Speaker B: Like, finish your sentence. Yeah, absolutely. [00:33:38] Speaker A: Oh, my God, I hate it. [00:33:40] Speaker B: Unprofessional. I have heard you complain about that before, but yeah, that is hilarious. That's your number one. Or are we doing, like, less severe? [00:33:49] Speaker A: I didn't do it in any kind of order. That was just the first one I thought of. Are you. Did you do it in an order? [00:33:55] Speaker B: No, definitely not. Mine's just around. I would say more like, like, feminine woman things, not like coffee. Although mine's probably not as funny. I feel like yours is probably gonna be more funny. My first one is my horror. My horror movie would be a man explaining feminism to me. [00:34:15] Speaker A: Oh, that's a good one. I love that. [00:34:21] Speaker B: I can just imagine my horror movie being like two and a half hours of this guy sitting across the table making eye contact and not blinking. Like. Like being very sincere and trying to educate me about feminism. [00:34:32] Speaker A: Hopefully this isn't one of as well, but it's kind of like when they're like, telling you what mansplaining is. When they're like, mansplaining to you what mansplaining is, and you're like, are you kidding me? Yeah, that's real. [00:34:42] Speaker B: Oh, my God. [00:34:42] Speaker A: No, that's a great one. [00:34:43] Speaker B: Totally. [00:34:44] Speaker A: I love that. Okay, my next one is when you hear your dog, like, gag in the middle of the night and it, like, instantly wakes you up from a dead sleep and you, like, know that the dog is about to throw up and it's like, you know what I mean? That's like my nightmare. Being woken up in the middle of the night too. Like that or them, like, licking is like. I hate that. I hate that so, so much. [00:35:11] Speaker B: So you can hear them licking themselves. Oh, no. And you don't know what they're licking, but they're, like, going after it. [00:35:19] Speaker A: It is real. It's a thing. [00:35:21] Speaker B: You know what I mean? Okay. Yeah, that's. Yeah, that's a real one. Okay. This literally happened to me today, getting woken up to your point, at like 4 o' clock in the morning because there's so much crow and bird and squirrel stuff happening. So, like, there's obviously this big, you know, wildlife party going on. But, like, I don't know what's happening. I think that, like, a cat had attacked a crowd later, earlier in the evening or the night. And so, like, at six o' clock in the Morning or whatever. [00:35:56] Speaker A: Five. [00:35:57] Speaker B: Like, every single bird and maybe a mile radius was just, like, chirping and, like, screaming their head off. And I thought that the world was gonna end. I, like, came out of a dead sleep, and I was like, oh, my God, those birds out there, I could hear them from a mile away. So it was just like one of those. Do you remember that movie with Julia Roberts or whatever, where, like, the world is coming to an end and then, like, she goes out to the middle of the fore and all the deer are, like, running around her and, like, making weird eye contact? It was one of those, like, really eerie, kind of creepy, spooky moments where all the crows. [00:36:34] Speaker A: The magnetism of the world is, like, pulling them all in one area or whatever. [00:36:37] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. I don't know. Like, it's very strange. Anyway, that's my next one. [00:36:43] Speaker A: That is really, really scary. Okay. My next one is when people, like, like, want to make small talk with strangers. That is, like, my nightmare. Like, if you. If I'm never gonna see that person again, I don't need to be nice to them. I don't need to. And that's a horrible, like, outlook, and that's a horrible thing to say, but, like, I could care less. I'm like, if. [00:37:03] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:37:03] Speaker A: I don't know. [00:37:03] Speaker B: There was, like, this Kelly's just, like, not kind to stranger. [00:37:06] Speaker A: There was this guy last night, and we went to, like, this open mic night thing, and someone like the D or the MC for the mic night was like, like, making fart noises into the mic because the next band was taking too long to, like, come up to the stage or whatever. And this guy, like, sitting at a table next to us was like, oh, my God. Only I can't even remember the, like, MC's name. He's, like, a famous guy because I think he's, like, the owner of the bar or whatever. But he was like, only he could, like, do that. And I was like. Or he's like, only he could, like, get away with that. I was like, nope, didn't get away with that. That's not okay. Like, why is he doing that? And the guy just, like, looked. [00:37:41] Speaker B: Don't act like I know. Yeah, that guy just, like, looked at [00:37:44] Speaker A: me like I was, like, a horrible person. Like, who makes fart noises into a mic when you're, like, 80 years old? Like, I know anyways. And I was like, don't talk to me. I don't know. [00:37:53] Speaker B: There's so many. Yeah, right. Do not. There's no need for you in my universe. At the moment, I. I agree with that. [00:38:00] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:38:01] Speaker B: But why fart noises? There are so many other things. Like, a thing to do, too. Yeah. Like, do we know a single woman in our lives that, like, enjoy fart jokes as much as men? No. It's such a dude thing. [00:38:16] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:38:16] Speaker B: Grow. Clean it up, men. Clean it up, dude. [00:38:18] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:38:19] Speaker B: So gross. Okay, my next one is going to be like, this is. I don't know how to explain this, but I'm going to try. You know, in group texts, and you're, like, coordinating, and you're going out to dinner or, like, you're going to somebody's house or whatever, there's like, some logistics going on, and then I'm the person that, like, will immediately, you know, offer, okay, I'm going to do X, Y, and Z. Or, hey, what do you think about this? And then, like, silence. Like, I don't hear from the entire group for hours. And I'm like, great, that was a terrible idea. Nobody wants to tell me that, like, my idea was a good idea. They don't appreciate my offering. They don't want my help. They just, like. I'm just, like, spiraling at that point because I offered, right? Like, I'm in a vulnerable position. And then silence. [00:39:06] Speaker A: Shoot. I think that's just how group texts go sometimes, though. Like, everyone's, like, looking at their phone at one time, and then. Then someone responds like, an hour later, and you're, like, totally out of it. You're, like, not even involved in the conversation anymore. That happens to me sometimes. [00:39:19] Speaker B: So group texts like that drive me absolutely crazy because I'm, like, having to clarify or, like, ask for confirmation. I hate that. I don't need validation. I just need somebody to tell me, like, go stand there, and you're doing a good job. Thank you for offering your help. That's all I need. But if it's a silent group text for, like, two, I have one that's from, like, a few people I went to college with for, like, two weeks now. And I'm like, I am not gonna be the person to ask again. Like, I can't. I just can't do that. I just can't. [00:39:48] Speaker A: Damn. [00:39:49] Speaker B: Sorry. Anyway. Okay, two more. [00:39:52] Speaker A: Okay. My next one is, like, I know people have a lot of, like, misophonia things. I don't love when people are, like, chewing loudly or chewing with their mouth open. But for some reason, gum is, like, next level to me. When someone is, like, actively. And they, like, yeah, they're, like, actively smacking, but they also, like, somehow like, twist it in between their teeth. I don't even know how to describe it. Like, you know, like, they're, like, going like that, and you can actually see the gum. [00:40:16] Speaker B: Really aggressive jaw work. [00:40:18] Speaker A: Yeah, a lot of jaw work. That's a good way to describe it. I don't know why, but it is just like my literal nightmare. And being stuck in a car with someone while they're chewing gum, that will make me pass away. I will literally be unwell. So, yeah, that is. [00:40:36] Speaker B: I have the perfect one to follow up. [00:40:38] Speaker A: Okay, great. [00:40:40] Speaker B: Because it's something that you and I have talked about for, like, the whole 20 years that we've known each other. My next horror movie is gonna be just, like, an hour or three hours of people sipping their hot. [00:40:50] Speaker A: Oh, my God. Yeah, that is actually, like, same next level. Yeah, that is actually my night. [00:40:57] Speaker B: Oh, my God. Because I would probably kill myself. I don't think I can handle that. [00:41:02] Speaker A: It's not that hot. [00:41:03] Speaker B: It's not. [00:41:03] Speaker A: Why are you doing that? [00:41:04] Speaker B: Just wait. Just wait a few minutes. It's totally fine. [00:41:07] Speaker A: Be okay. Oh, my God. Yeah, you're so right. That is such a good one. Dang. [00:41:11] Speaker B: My sister does that when she eats soup. She just, like, oh, my gosh. Oh, my God. Drags me up the freaking wall. Anyway, I just had to say that on, like, I didn't even have that on my list. That just came to me in the moment. [00:41:23] Speaker A: Oh, my God. Great. [00:41:24] Speaker B: Yeah, sorry, go ahead. [00:41:25] Speaker A: My final one, my final horror movie is just when someone asked me what I want for dinner. If I have to, like, choose the restaurant. If I have to choose. Oh, my God. [00:41:34] Speaker B: That's literally my last. [00:41:35] Speaker A: No way. Wait, that's so funny. [00:41:38] Speaker B: Yes. It literally is my last one. My wor. My last horror movie is being asked what I want to eat. [00:41:43] Speaker A: Oh, my God. [00:41:44] Speaker B: For anything. Like, I don't want. Oh, my God. What do you want for dinner? What do we want to do for dinner? I hate that question. [00:41:50] Speaker A: I know it's such, like, a millennial thing, but, like, honestly, it's so real. I hate it. It's horrific. [00:41:57] Speaker B: How did people who, like, our parents and our grandparents and their grandparents, like, how. How do they live on, like, on Earth for 90, whatever years, and they ask that single question every day in their life? Honestly, like, how do you not have a better tool or, like, a different way to ask that question? I don't know. [00:42:17] Speaker A: Honestly, I think that, like, you just didn't have a choice. Like, you ate, like, five things, and so it was one of those five Things. And that was just like, what was ever in the fridge. So, like, we can blame feminism for that one because we choice in what we get to eat these days, but can we, like, for that or the [00:42:35] Speaker B: time of us being alive and, like, the choices? Because, like, now we have refrigeration and, you know. Totally. [00:42:42] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:42:42] Speaker B: We can go to, like, Chili's and whatever we want. [00:42:44] Speaker A: There's like endless food out also, so that changes the whole. Yeah. The realm of things. Because I even, like, forget what our options even are sometimes. [00:42:54] Speaker B: Anyway, through that, I would really hazard a guess or maybe not be so surprised that of course, when people get divorced, it's usually stemming from, like, infidelity or finances or like, whatever which way. But, like, I would not be surprised if we actually studied when people's like, relationship starts deteriorating. It's probably around this one question. What do we want to do together? It's like, oh, my God. [00:43:18] Speaker A: Yeah, we should look at the stats. Stats on them. [00:43:20] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:43:20] Speaker A: And like, who decides to. [00:43:21] Speaker B: I don't know if they've done, like. [00:43:23] Speaker A: And who decides what they're eating and who just, like, goes grocery shopping like that. All those things, like, accumulation of all of them. It, like, is really the downfall of probably a lot of relationships. [00:43:31] Speaker B: It's like the amount. Right. I bet you I would not be so surprised. Not that they would do, like an actual study, but it would be really interesting to see what those results would be. [00:43:40] Speaker A: That would be really interesting anyway. [00:43:41] Speaker B: Damn, that's hilarious. I feel like we. I swear to the listener, we did not coordinate this beforehand, but I think we're like, kind of the same person on some level. [00:43:52] Speaker A: So no big deal. [00:43:53] Speaker B: I mean, it's fine. No big deal. [00:43:56] Speaker A: Do you want to do gratitudes and grievances really quick and then hop off? [00:44:02] Speaker B: Yes. Yeah. Yeah. I thought we were gonna make this, like a really 35. Like a tight 35, but it's turning into a 40 minute episode. [00:44:09] Speaker A: Yeah. So we can just hop off too. Yeah. I'm like, so sleepy. So sleepy. [00:44:13] Speaker B: Let's just do gratitude. [00:44:15] Speaker A: Yeah, let's do gratitude. Yeah. I'm very grateful for. I'm really grateful for my bed. I love. [00:44:22] Speaker B: Likewise. My bed. [00:44:24] Speaker A: Yes, it is. [00:44:25] Speaker B: So I have a king size bed and it's got, like, memory foam and it's like the coziest place in all of the house. So when I. Yeah, I'm just, like, really grateful that I bought this massive bed and all of my really awesome pillows. I just. If you're gonna splurge on anything in your life, you're gonna sleep in your bed every single night and, you know, shed your skin, and it's really gross, and it can be really wonderful if you do it right. Anyway, we could cut that out. But I'm grateful for my bed. [00:44:55] Speaker A: Yeah. Actually, I haven't even talked about my bed on here. We just bought a new bed and it's a very fancy bed. So, yeah, I'm very into that as well. I'm very grateful for my bed. But what I was just gonna say was, like, I'm grateful for you. Thank you for driving all the way over here, like, multiple weekends in a row. [00:45:10] Speaker B: My bad. I'm grateful for YouTuber. [00:45:13] Speaker A: I'm very grateful for Lindsay. Yeah. Like you said, for making the cake and just celebrating me so hard. And Brooke for all of the additions that she added. Such a good weekend. Yeah. And then very, very grateful to Mateo, to my boy and how much he did for me. And, yeah, all the. The things that he organized. [00:45:33] Speaker B: And when's his birthday? Don't say that on the pod. [00:45:37] Speaker A: January. So, yeah, I did plan, like, a little party for him in January as well, but it was more like low key at, like, a food truck place. And I made, like, a big cake and stuff. But anyway, yeah, very, very grateful for him. And he's not a big birthday guy, so it was very cool that he wanted to do this. And he loves games, so, like, obviously he was very into the survivor part of it, but thankful to everyone who came out and hung out and played was competitive and bouncing the bounce house and all the things. We appreciate you. And thanks so much for being candid. And I love you so much. [00:46:14] Speaker B: Thanks for being candid. [00:46:16] Speaker A: Bye. [00:46:16] Speaker B: Bye.
