Speaker 1:That's what she said, but I don't know if that's. I didn't do any fact checking on that. This could be exactly the same as how it used to taste for all I know Hot new label. Yeah, be exactly the same as how it used to taste for all I know, just with a hot new label. Yeah, it tastes good. I like it, I just am. I'm not going to reach for this. I'm super partial to Orange Kiss. Yeah, really, I am an Orange Kiss queen. I want that and mimosa and nothing else.
Speaker 2:You had a dalliance with mimosa for a while. I like mimosa too, but you came right back to Orange Kiss, orange kiss it's so good.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it tastes like a sunny d. It's like a carbonated sunny d which is a great sounding beverage it's so good you know what we should have.
Speaker 2:I don't. I mean, I don't know if they still make them, but the sunny d seltzers, wasn't that a thing?
Speaker 1:uh or was it hard sunny.
Speaker 2:I'm not even sure it was seltzer, I don't remember okay, wait, literally pause.
Speaker 1:You google that. While I do my weekly, I've been getting, I've been doing more and more tapping on it each week. I'm getting more into it. It's part of the bit. Okay. Okay, this is an Alani Hawaiian shaved ice in the new packaging, maybe, okay. That was a real crack. I feel like that wasn't very satisfying. I like the liquid deaths because they do like the yeah anyway we can pick up some Sunny D vodka seltzer today.
Speaker 2:I don't vodka's not really my thing.
Speaker 1:I don't want that.
Speaker 2:So it needs to be Sunny D forward that interests me none.
Speaker 1:Anyone has any insight on. It needs to be Sunny D forward. That interests me none.
Speaker 2:If anyone has any insight on the taste of the Sunny D seltzers, hit me up. I need to know. Maybe I'll put that on my story, now that I sometimes story on Instagram.
Speaker 1:Oh, my gosh Sometimes.
Speaker 2:First article is Reddit Stank or dank. No drank or stank. Sunny D vodka seltzer.
Speaker 1:I drank no drank or stank sunny d vodka seltzer that's what to say wow, what are people's opinions? What's the hot topic? Hot gossip? Well, I don't know. It's not off to a great start today they're not.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they're not really. Um, oh, drank for sure, maybe it's. I don't see any like yeah, they're not. Oh, somebody said it's not great, it sucks oh, people tried it. So somebody says they are effing awesome.
Speaker 1:Uh drank anyway so can we actually buy these?
Speaker 2:yeah, no, they're available today yeah, maybe we should next week we record try and review.
Speaker 1:Vodka gives me really bad heartburn, like I. Yeah, it's not good, but I could take a sip.
Speaker 2:I can't drink one though We'll get a four pack, I'll drink those on the podcast.
Speaker 1:Okay, guys, I kind of like this idea. This is going to be fun.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Uh, okay, are we actually doing that? Are you committing?
Speaker 2:I can do that, that's fine.
Speaker 1:Okay, I haven we don't drink often at all I'm very much a social drinker yeah, but your birthday's this weekend oh 32, 32 he's a big boy, he's all grown up. I don't know about that either to a 2xl, so he knows that he's become a grown-up yeah, a heavier adult than he wants to be.
Speaker 2:Yes, no, no, that is true, no.
Speaker 1:You know, when I was a kid and I said no like that, my I know I've told you this before, but my little toddler best friend, we had a neighbor who was a year older than me and I hung out with her all of the time and uh, anytime I would say no, uh, her dad would go. No, joe, noah built the arc.
Speaker 2:Oh, no, yeah Funny.
Speaker 1:Every single time, and so every time I hear it or I say it that way, I'm like no, he built the arc.
Speaker 2:Oh, got it. Should I just start dropping that on you?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I like it. I think we should use it.
Speaker 2:Noah built the arc that's on brand for me.
Speaker 1:That's a dad joke. Yeah, I feel like that's true. Don't you think?
Speaker 2:I could work more. Dad jokes in.
Speaker 1:You really could. I feel like I like the dad jokes though.
Speaker 2:You are a dad joke aficionado? Yeah, I'm here for the dad jokes. I'm again. I'm an observational. I need back and forth.
Speaker 1:You're one of the funniest people I know, though what? Why was that?
Speaker 2:funny. It made me uncomfortable, oh, so I had to try and denigrate it. I just feel like you have really good timing.
Speaker 1:Thanks, generally speaking, yeah, but I feel like you don't really get going on the podcast like you do in real life, matt really works well with a third yeah, when I can, when I can play sides we really should. Sometime, when jc's in town, we'll have her on the podcast, because you've never seen two people gang up on me quite like you do too. Yeah, you two do in a great way. Like it's hysterical and I can take it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you can.
Speaker 1:I feel like I, you, I don't feel like you too. We can't do it back.
Speaker 2:Yeah, a little bit. If anything, it's worse when you're nice to me.
Speaker 1:You think?
Speaker 2:I've been watching TikToks on this because, uh guys newsflash. I've posted two TikToks in the last week. I'm on an absolute heater.
Speaker 1:Yeah, two in a week it came up today I had our uh meeting with our team today and, uh, they were like I don't want to jinx it, no, they didn't say that, but kind of that's what they were insinuating. They're like I haven't said anything because I didn't know if this was just like a one-off or like if Matt's back, I want to know. And I was like I am not going to say anything.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because I can't. I'm going to try and let it speak for itself.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I feel like if I encourage you at all, you're going to be like I don't want to do that anymore.
Speaker 2:That. Um how many times have we talked about pathological demand avoidance on this podcast? A lot, yeah, that is part of it.
Speaker 1:It's so bad.
Speaker 2:Yeah. I hate it Anyway, sorry.
Speaker 1:I cut you off. You've been posting on TikTok. You watched a video.
Speaker 2:I did, which means I've been watching. The problem with TikTok is I am absolutely the person that can burn three hours watching TikTok.
Speaker 1:It really is crazy, it's bad and it's hard to pull you away from it, like if I'm like, hey, yeah, I'll just start it going frustrated and then I'll be.
Speaker 2:yeah, that is another problem. I dysregulate when I'm interrupted.
Speaker 1:Well, and it's been an hour, but he's only watched four and a half TikToks Cause all of his are like 13 minutes long.
Speaker 2:I'm like I sent you this great TikTok. If you fast forward, it only takes six minutes to watch. Yeah, I watch those.
Speaker 1:You watch the longest form content.
Speaker 2:It's really true.
Speaker 1:It doesn't make sense.
Speaker 2:And I don't watch YouTube, Like not nearly which is where that content lives.
Speaker 1:Anyway, you watch the video.
Speaker 2:Anyway, just talking about how I think it's a sign of emotional immaturity, and basically there's emotional immaturity. A lot of people respond that when they receive insults and they think highly of themselves, it's dissonant, and so they're like no, this is why I'm great. And it works the exact same way. If you don't think highly of yourself and somebody compliments you, you're like no, no, no, it wasn why I'm great. And it works the exact same way. If you don't think highly of yourself and somebody compliments you, you're like no, no, no, it wasn't a big deal, and here's why I suck, or here's why that wasn't impressive.
Speaker 1:Instead of just accepting it.
Speaker 2:Instead of being like thank you, that was really nice, you're like wrong, actually, it wasn't nice and here's why. Yeah, anyway, work to do, work to do, that's. I think half this podcast is us talking about, uh, our mental health issues, and then the other half is, uh, talking to you guys about your issues oversharing yeah, that's our brand.
Speaker 1:I feel good.
Speaker 2:Good, that's good.
Speaker 1:You just said all that and I'm like I feel like I've been in a pretty like great spot the last month or so, honestly.
Speaker 2:Yeah, things have been improving.
Speaker 1:I'm posting, I'm around.
Speaker 2:We've been in a good spot. I'm present.
Speaker 1:I'm filming content, I'm hanging out with my kids, I'm planning activities, I'm executing birthday parties, I'm celebrating nieces and nephews. I'm like. We've been doing a lot, we've been busy, but I feel like I'm doing the bare minimum, but it's finally. I don't know about the bare minimum, that's not necessarily what I mean. I'm doing what people expect out of people.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, I think the bigger part is we're doing it, we're trying to do it consistently, and that's been the biggest struggle, I think, the last two years is we can get it going for two weeks at a time and then at least that amount of time it kind of unwinds, and so it's two steps forward, two steps back, or two steps forward, three steps back, and I think we're making good progress. So we're just going to try and not jinx it by continuing to talk about it for 10 minutes on our podcast.
Speaker 1:Update everybody on the last week. What's going on with us?
Speaker 2:Last week. Well, we went up to your best friend Jacey's.
Speaker 1:You can call her our best friend, that's fine, our best friend, Best friend of the pod Jacey.
Speaker 2:Her daughter was turning three, so we went up to celebrate her. Um, I can't remember what we did in the week before.
Speaker 1:We visited Trey too.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, trey's busy. He's uh finishing up. He's got a lot of classes he's taking this summer.
Speaker 1:Yeah, my best friend's husband is starting a new job in the fall and it's a busy guy. He is Uh but we had a lot of fun with them.
Speaker 2:Yes, we did. The girls had a lot of fun and they fought a lot, because they have this weird sibling combative energy.
Speaker 1:They do a lot better at a different person's house. The issue is if we are at our house or their house, it's real competitive.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the home games are contentious. Neutral site is good. They home games are contentious. Yeah, Neutral site is is good.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:They have a lot of fun. So we tried to do that as much as possible. Um, we did that again. I don't remember what we did the week before.
Speaker 1:That's pretty much it.
Speaker 2:That's pretty much it.
Speaker 1:We were getting ready to leave, like we were trying to get a bunch of stuff done.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we had a lot of preparation to leave. Yes, that sounds right.
Speaker 1:Worked outside some.
Speaker 2:And we're childcare-less for the next two weeks, or regular childcare-less. We will have to find alternative options. For two weeks, it's us.
Speaker 1:We are the alternative option.
Speaker 2:Yes, that's true.
Speaker 1:Matt's mom is watching the kids while we record this.
Speaker 2:Yep.
Speaker 1:And I'm hoping that she'll come back to do it one more time, uh, but other than that, we just have activities planned and yeah, we might have to be recording in the wee hours. We could do that too.
Speaker 2:I guess we could record it post bedtime, I think might be the move. Yeah, but it's been. Uh, the weekend was fun. We just got back and we're gearing up for another week. Being up there on Monday has thrown my entire sense of the week off.
Speaker 1:I have a big story you need to tell the pod.
Speaker 2:Is it that we need new tires on the car?
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:Because that's probably going to have to happen this week.
Speaker 1:She needs new tires. Yeah, tell them about how your dog almost needed new tires.
Speaker 2:Oh, I almost had to get a new dog. Oko, our dumber dog, Sweet, sweet as can be, but our sweet little idiot I was, oh my gosh. That was not a good morning, that was a bad morning. I was very tired. Gardner woke up a little bit earlier than she had been and I stayed up a little bit later than I needed to and we went to go do our usual routine of feeding the dogs, and she likes to do one scoop and I do one scoop. But she was really adamant the moment I grabbed the scoop to that she needed to do the scoop and so she kind of grabbed me and threw something and I had taken my medication to go like in the morning. I dispensed my medication and then I go take it.
Speaker 1:With your water bottle in the kitchen.
Speaker 2:I took it out of my pocket so that it didn't fall out of my pocket and the dogs got it the counter and then it was knocked off the counter while feeding them and oko just snapped up a 20 milligram propranolol, which is a beta blocker which uh kind of lowers your heart rate or your adrenaline response, and I don't know. It's about seven times the dosage that a dog oko size like even could take if he needed it, which he doesn't.
Speaker 2:Um, already the chillest dog on the planet yeah, he's already not a high energy dog, and so I was like we should not give him a seven times dose of beta blocker well then, there was a lot of commotion in the kitchen. Yep, because immediately after the not so great dog feeding that I was really stressed out. Our kid really wanted an apple. She was screaming that she wanted an apple. A sliced apple Sliced apple with the skin on. I need an apple, I don't remember exactly what I said.
Speaker 1:You were frustrated.
Speaker 2:You snapped, yeah, you snapped, and so I came out and I was like I think I basically told her to leave me the F alone. I was in the middle of something.
Speaker 1:And I came out and I said, matt, you're in timeout, what the heck is going on? Yeah, because you never, like you never raise your voice. You almost never snap like that, like very rarely, and so when I heard it, it freaked me out because yeah, it was the opposite of gentle parenting, that's for sure it was just like f off parenting it was so unbelievably out of character and I was in our bedroom and I came out and I didn't ask what was going on no I was just like you need to go back to bed because I thought Matt was just so tired.
Speaker 2:And what I was doing is I was frantically Googling, like what to do when your dog takes too much, or like what is poisoned.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Fortunately, you knew yeah.
Speaker 1:You got some hydroproxide. Well, yeah, matt looked at me and he's like I poisoned our dog. That's what you said. You said, no, I can't go to bed. That's what you said. You said, no, I can't go to bed, I've poisoned our dog. And I said, okay, what happened? Take a breath, clarify.
Speaker 2:I need more information.
Speaker 1:And you said he took my meds. And then I was like which one? Because there were. If you would have taken one of your other meds like there are other meds that would have been really, really bad. I mean, it was bad, they were all bad.
Speaker 2:The one thing I'd say about the other meds is those are at least 24 hours, so they're coded. So if he threw them up he wouldn't have. But the one he took is like fast acting and so it's not coded. So it needed to come out like right now, right now.
Speaker 1:Yeah. And so you were frantically Googling and I said, put your phone down, get the hydrogen peroxide and you're how much. And then I was like 10 milligrams should be enough for how much he weighs. And then you were like why do you know?
Speaker 2:that yeah, no liters oh, that's what I meant, sorry, uh, but yeah, and then he threw up and he was fine, although we called the vet and they're like, yeah, if he threw up, just monitor and like if he's really like lethargic, bring him in and he might be the laziest dog in the world. And so I was like how do I like if he's really like lethargic, bring him in and he might be the laziest dog in the world. And so I was like how do I tell if he's lethargic?
Speaker 1:he looks lethargic all the time well, and when you took him outside to give him the hydrogen peroxide, I went to do g's hair yeah and she had.
Speaker 1:We're just not on our game. She had blisters on the back of her heels because she wanted to wear her Vans without socks and they were like scabbed over and everything Like all was well. But as I set her down on the ground after doing her hair, I knocked her heels on the counter, like just right, I mean barely and just right and she was like Mom that hurt. And I was like mom that hurt and I was like are you okay, like? And she was like yeah, so I set her down and I just went on doing my thing and matt walked in after having oko outside, yeah, throwing up, and he goes. Why is there blood everywhere? Because I had accidentally knocked, she was trailing blood from her heels and was walking around the bathroom.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we had a really good week. We had a really bad morning.
Speaker 1:That was all before 8.30 am.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's true, yeah, and our childcare doesn't come until about 10 am, and so we were firing on all cylinders. The kids were like dressed and ready to rock. I mean, she was like whoa, stuff is really happening this morning?
Speaker 1:And we're like, yeah we've been up for three hours.
Speaker 2:We've been in crisis mode for two hours, so yeah, Anyway, it was wild. That was a crazy morning, but otherwise like a pretty solid week.
Speaker 1:It worked out.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:It really did. Yep, we were worried about Oko for a little bit, but all is well he survived, all's well that ends well, doesn't even need new tires, so Doesn't even need new tires oh. Do you want to do Greg's reads?
Speaker 2:Yeah, let's Greg's read.
Speaker 1:Greg is my dad. Dad is an incredible guy that likes to read lots of news and lots of articles and he sends us articles every week and we like to read those headlines and let you know how much anxiety they give us, on a scale of zero to five all right.
Speaker 2:First one man rowing across ocean suddenly realizes he's surrounded by over a thousand whales well, that's cool. Zero out of five yeah, didn't give me any anxiety like I saw that headline come through. That that's cool. I won't be rowing across the ocean. No, me either. That it's not a situation.
Speaker 1:Five out of five if you're asking me to do that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the ocean scares me, but hearing about the ocean mesmerizes me okay, well, on that note, researchers stunned after analyzing nearly 1 000 vanishing islands. I'm not sure we really know.
Speaker 1:Dot dot dot two and a half out of five concerned about vanishing islands, yeah, why are they vanishing, don't know why are we calling them vanishing, because vanishing doesn't sound like the sea level is changing. Vanishing sounds like they're quite literally going. Yeah, and I don't like that very much.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it didn't give me any anxiety because I don't know what it is.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 2:And I just, you know, sometimes I try not to acquire new things to worry about.
Speaker 1:You're not trying to fill in the blanks.
Speaker 2:No, again, I don't want new things to worry about. Totally, totally. I got enough going on.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:All want new things to worry about. Totally, totally. I got. I got enough going on, okay, all right. Last one we asked three pro organizers what you should stop holding on to. Here are the five things.
Speaker 1:They all agree oh uh, four out of five, but with great, great interest okay, yeah, it's a two out of five for me. Um I'd like you to click on that one okay, opening.
Speaker 2:I would like to know more about that.
Speaker 1:We have been in our organizer era we have.
Speaker 2:We got our closets done and it's motivated the whole process. Duplicative paperwork For sure. Oh God, I don't want to go through our paperwork. Expired medications.
Speaker 3:Not a problem.
Speaker 2:We're good about that, we're pretty good on there, Any half-functional cookware? Oh no.
Speaker 1:Half there, any half functional?
Speaker 2:oh no, half functional cookware yeah, we really should. We could pare down on some cookware. Yeah, it's like lidless tupperware and that kind of stuff too. No, I've been pretty good about keeping on that I feel like I do pretty good at getting rid of how much we've acquired.
Speaker 1:No, I do think there's probably stuff in the garage yeah which probably means we don't need it I've really gotten rid of a lot of our Tupperware. We're mostly glass now Red flag.
Speaker 2:We're mostly a glass. This one's a problem. Excess water bottles. Excess water bottles and mugs.
Speaker 1:We are not that bad. Actually I got we have a thousand? No, we don't. I got rid of probably 40.
Speaker 2:Okay. And, by the way, just to defend myself, I'm not buying no, I don't know they come gifted often a lot of pr packages will throw a cup or a mug or a little stainless container in there.
Speaker 1:Uh, which is cool yes, like it's reusable, they're awesome but and I've gotten a lot better about, when they come in, just donating them.
Speaker 2:Yeah, or gifting them out to a friend, or gifting them out to a friend that likes that brand.
Speaker 1:Yes, because we get a lot of them for brands we really love, but we already have a lot of brand merch.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there's only so many stainless tumblers you need and that kind of thing. Okay, so you're working on it. We're not too bad.
Speaker 1:We do have at least spaces dedicated glass, like the reusable cups drawer is pretty full, yeah, but again, I think that is. I only have purchased three oh yeah ever I and a lot of it is uh, not gifting like from brands, like we've been gifted that from friends and things like that.
Speaker 1:Days and christmas yeah, there's sometimes a reusable cup is a great gift if people don't if someone needs one yeah, like if they need a really good one, if they have a complaint about theirs, you know yeah, that's kind of an elevated staple kind of item that you can get somebody it's a really good elevated staple.
Speaker 2:Honestly, at christmas time, we should put that on our yeah if you, if you, if somebody needs a splurge that you can get for them that they won't get themselves a good water bottle, kind of thing, isn't that?
Speaker 1:isn't that category but I use the same water bottle every single day yeah, yeah, statistically it says we only wear 20 of our closet.
Speaker 2:There's no way I was even wearing 20 of my I wear more than 20.
Speaker 1:You are pretty good it.
Speaker 2:You wear a lot of clothes, though. Um, clothes were a real problem Cleaning out the closet. We got probably 70% of what I needed to take out of there out of there.
Speaker 1:It's so much better, which is huge, but it was a huge process but, it's so much better. There's still a fair amount that could go, but I'm hanging on to maybe that I will get smaller. Sometimes it takes, though, a couple run-throughs to get it, at least for me.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was good to have somebody that wasn't you or just a neutral third party, to really ask if I needed it. And then I was like, of course I don't need that. I'm totally chill about those clothes.
Speaker 1:I don't have any connection to them at all and they can go, no problem. Think about holding on for things If you get smaller. For me is, if I get smaller and small enough to fit in a lot of the things I would hold onto. I'd want new clothes, not my old clothes.
Speaker 2:Guy's stuff is a little bit less seasonal, though. Not like like trends do not move the same way. I'm thinking like pants if they're like different stuff like that, like neutral sweatshirts that like not sweat. I don't have a lot of sweatshirts that I can't wear, but like if I've got like good t-shirts or whatever that I don't want to get rid of but that I don't wear right now because I don't love the fit. That's the kind of thing that I'm like maybe, maybe, but anyway we're not doing too bad there on that list, better than I thought we would be.
Speaker 1:That's an interesting article.
Speaker 2:So word of the week word of the week.
Speaker 1:Let's get you Word of the week Word of the week. Let's get you a word of the week Matt picks a word, he teaches the definition, then I forget it entirely.

Speaker 1:uh, it was really interesting.
Speaker 2:Like acceptable common language.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they're saying that by the end of our time, raw dog will just be, uh, used like and somebody was like I used it at work this week Like and people I do think about it sometimes cause I want to throw it out in context I'm like is that appropriate?
Speaker 2:I know.
Speaker 1:It depends on the.
Speaker 2:You got to read the room before you throw a raw dog around, did you know?
Speaker 1:what scumbag is.
Speaker 2:Only after watching that TikTok. I had no idea. Yeah, that's another. It's an old word for a condom.
Speaker 1:Oh used condom.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:It's like specifically, yeah, specifically a gross, and I was like, oh my gosh, I had no idea what other ones were there that they said, oh, I don't remember it was really interesting.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that was, yeah. So raw dog guys, keep using it. Let's bring it into the lexicon.
Speaker 1:Yeah, bring it into the workplace.
Speaker 2:Let's make sure we can send it in emails.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Because we need it.
Speaker 1:Oh, so funny. It just made me laugh. I was like this is shocking to watch.
Speaker 2:It was funny, but there's a lot of words like that.
Speaker 1:He went in depth on what that's called. I don't remember what it was. It has, like a word, specific definition and all that of how we integrate words into more casual slang language yeah, like it starts as like slang or new words and then it gets worked into, which then made me ask you which is why I brought this up if karen, we think, is going to. And why did I bring that up? What was the other word?
Speaker 2:like that. Yeah, do you remember?
Speaker 1:oh, it was dick dick oh yeah, we went down that whole road of figuring out when dick became a name, a nickname. So dick became a nickname. Yeah, so in what? The 1500s? Yeah, I think so, like way back, but using the word dick to refer to a penis wasn't until like the 1800s, and so I was like is it from the name? Is what we were trying to figure out? Good, question we're trying to get to the bottom of if Karen eventually is going to be a slang term rather than a name.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's valid.
Speaker 1:Anyway, it was a whole process and it's called so you can look it up. We can link this in the show notes, but I don't know Etymology, is that right?
Speaker 2:Lexicalized. Oh, you're talking about the person.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Anyway, super interesting. His caption was I'm just circle jerking Like wow, we're really trying the most here.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there was no shortage of hooks used in that particular.
Speaker 1:It was a good video. We'll link it in the show notes so you guys can watch it. But I just found that really interesting. I love TikToks like that. I live for a little piece of knowledge. We have all kinds of text messages.
Speaker 2:Yes, we do. You guys have been crushing it on the text game and it's been very effective. Somebody was following up on a text from last the one we did where it was like have you committed a crime? One because I poisoned our dog? They're like is this going to solve any kind of crime? And I was like I guess maybe animal abuse or neglect, maybe that would qualify. But then they were like, does it have to be done at like a frequency? How long does it last?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I know I had a lot of follow-up questions for sure, and so I was like I don't know A few of you DM me and told me, joe, we can't kick puppies. And I'm like you know what that's fair?
Speaker 2:That's what we're trying to solve, guys, yeah that's totally fair. Yeah, we're on your side, we're trying to not kick puppies Anyway. You want to open some texts. Yeah, let's get some texts. I should really.
Speaker 1:I think I have a couple voice messages too, you have some voicemails.
Speaker 2:Should we do those? You want to do voice messages first? Yeah, you guys have been killing it on the texts.
Speaker 1:We are going to have to do another episode just to catch up on these. So we don't bury a bunch of people, it's just part of it. Yes, okay, here we go.
Speaker 3:Voice message number one Hi, matt and Joe. My name is Ashley and I'm calling from Seattle. I love the pod. A question for you both. I love the pod. A question for you both what is something each of you would like to celebrate yourselves for? Second part of that what's something, let's say, in the next season, you're looking to grow into even further, an area of growth, an area of focus? I'd love to hear your answers. Lastly, I want to end with a personal story.
Speaker 3:I just finished the episode talking about Matt and the tattoos and my husband, who does have some similarities to Matt by way of some of the neurodivergence and anxiety and is in his own self-worth exploration. He also loved the idea of tattoos, wanted them for years. I stopped poking at some point and as he continued to do his own personal work, no surprise, the tattoos showed up. He followed the plans that he had. He does now have a full sleeve. It's aggressive, it is beautiful. I have no doubt that in time, matt's going to have his own cool tattoos. Look forward to it. Uh, no rush.
Speaker 1:Um yeah. Okay, Wait, we're going to. I want to start with the questions and then we'll move into tattoos.
Speaker 2:This is dangerously close to something that, like my therapist, would make me do.
Speaker 1:Okay, what's something you're proud of?
Speaker 2:Proud of um, uh, I'm proud of the like being consistently productive the last few weeks and starting to post again and doing that stuff. Like it started with doing a lot of manual labor and finishing some projects, kind of. I just looked outside after I replaced the light bulbs which I put stories up about on Instagram and there's light bulbs outside our bedroom window so I should pick those up, because I just dropped them down from the lights I was fixing and never came back for them. So kind of finishing projects, but at least putting those online.
Speaker 2:So, showing up online. That's something I'm proud of and would like to continue being proud of. It's so uncomfortable. I'm so bad at this. That's not how I'm supposed to be talking to myself during this. I don't think. But anyway, you go do uh, I am proud.
Speaker 1:I feel like I've been doing a better job of holding boundaries, yeah, generally speaking, like I'm doing better at saying no, I am doing better at just sticking to my guns on things, and I feel like, in general, it has resulted in us having more consistency in our living. Yeah, and I'm proud of that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we're just trying to figure out what we can and can't commit to. That's a weakness of ours. We tend to commit to everything and then just try and survive.
Speaker 1:Okay, so then what's a goal for upcoming season?
Speaker 2:Goal for upcoming season. Trying to I think I would like to carry over some of this consistency into food, like into making consistent meals or just being more diligent in that, holding myself more accountable on the food front, because it's something that really affects how I feel and how everybody feels, and it's really helpful when it's good and it's really frustrating when it's not, I think for everybody. So, just being and and the biggest part of some of the changes I've been trying to make is not going really hard at it and being like I'm going to cook every meal this week and doing that like following through cooking 21 meals that week and then being like I never want to cook another meal again for six months. Um, I'm trying to make small changes and I'm, um, I'm trying to make small changes and I'm so bad at it like it's just not how I'm wired. I don't want small changes. I don't, I don't appreciate them. I'm like. I don't like when I, when I make a small change, I'm you're not proud of yourself.
Speaker 2:I'm really wired to like, wow, that wasn't very much, you really need to be doing the whole thing and, uh, that is another bad self-talk pattern that I have been trying to not fall into. So thanks for making me not do that, even though I hate it.
Speaker 1:Uh, I don't know what mine is in this next season. I think for me it's really, uh, not over committing, Like it's like doing less. It's kind of my gold so that I can show up better where. I am present because I feel like the last two years of our lives really three years since we had kids.
Speaker 4:Um.
Speaker 1:I feel like I have been doing all of the things and nothing well, like I'm doing a little bit of everything but nothing I'm executing like I'd like to, and I would like to see myself cut back so that I can do the handful of things I'm doing really well and just say no to the other.
Speaker 2:Well, you've really deep prioritized a lot of the things you're interested in, Like the things that you wanted to do. You've put way back on the priority list and so you've committed to all these other things and you've been doing all these other things and it hasn't none of it's been what your focus.
Speaker 1:Well, it hasn't been very fulfilling and it hasn't been appreciated of it's been what your focus? Well, it hasn't been very fulfilling and it hasn't been appreciated, I think, the way that I yeah because it's just, I thought I was making real change for the people that I was committing like mental effort to, and it doesn't always seem like that's the case.
Speaker 2:No, and so, yeah, it's always difficult how you feel about something and how someone else feels about it rarely align perfectly. Hopefully they're close, but a lot of the times there's just more involved. It is encouraging that my tattoo journey may still come to fruition. I don't. I don't feel like I'm in doubt of like it's going to happen. I just don't know when.
Speaker 1:I feel like it's going to happen.
Speaker 2:It's coming. You feel like it's imminent.
Speaker 1:Maybe not.
Speaker 2:Over under the next 12 months.
Speaker 1:I feel like if I say to you, it's imminent.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:You are literally going to make your decision based on what I say rather than what you want to do, and I don't care.
Speaker 2:That's a real. That's a real again. That's the demand avoidance. Right there it's like the slightest implication that somebody expects you, not really even expects you, just thinks you might do something, is like uh-oh, friction, Nope, Don't do that, Be unexpected.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:Even the people you love and trust the most.
Speaker 1:Well, and I don't care if you get tattoos or not.
Speaker 2:No. Like you do what you want. You'd be excited if I did, and it does not affect your life if I don't.
Speaker 1:Right, I'd be excited if you were excited, and so I can't really say I'm too caught up in it. Got it, but over under, I'd say over a year, I don't think you're going to get them in the next year.
Speaker 2:Over the next 12 months.
Speaker 1:I don't think that.
Speaker 2:Oh, she's trying to reverse me.
Speaker 1:She's trying to reverse psychology.
Speaker 2:This I can see. That's how I'm wired.
Speaker 4:I'm like oh, okay, well, I guess I better get on it in the next 12 months. I'm telling you I'm, but you think I'm trying to reverse psychology, you?
Speaker 2:but I don't think that. But my brain does, like I know better. But inside I'm like maybe you don't know this could. And the worst part is like even inside that I'm like is she? Is she trying to reverse psychology this? Or is this just you being like, well, I'm gonna be unexpected. I'm gonna be under 12 months that is so stressful for who you?
Speaker 1:you like. I feel like you are living everything based on other people's.
Speaker 2:I'm on the verge of fight or flight most of the time that's so that's why I take a beta blocker. Sorry, it's okay.
Speaker 1:I hate that for you. I don't have, so sorry. No, it's okay. I hate that for you, I don't have an internal monologue.
Speaker 2:So it's not well thought out, gosh, oh man, but like, that's funny because I can vocalize my thoughts, but I do have to kind of talk out loud, either to myself or on a podcast with thousands of listeners, about what goes on in my brain. Yeah, and so I hope, uh what comes out is rational Probably.
Speaker 1:Cause it took you over 12 months to hang the additional curtain panel. Do you know what I mean? Like that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2:I just feel like you're not a quick, which I videoed and it took 12 minutes. It was it was shockingly fast Even to me who knew it wasn't a big job.
Speaker 1:I feel like that's a lot of things, yeah.
Speaker 2:You know, it's going to be really really, really fast.
Speaker 1:When you put my new fridge panel on.
Speaker 2:Yeah, oh, no, no, no, that's not going to be very fast. That's going to take probably an hour or two at least, and it's going to be like focused work.
Speaker 1:But an hour or two over something I've been complaining about for two years.
Speaker 2:I have to be so careful with it, so careful. Do you know what I don't have to be very careful with and will happen in literally 60 seconds? What? The panel above the fridge that we just added, yeah. That's going to take two seconds.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's not bothering me the same way.
Speaker 2:That's funny because it's just a wide open hole.
Speaker 1:I know, but it's not in the background of everything I film, got it, got it.
Speaker 2:That makes sense.
Speaker 1:Like it annoys me. I want it fixed. I'm not like making a comment on that, but the fridge that has the wrong panel is in every single thing I shoot.
Speaker 2:Since our kitchen and our living room are all one big unit, our kitchen's in the background of everything, whether you're in the kitchen or not.
Speaker 1:Yeah, sorry, sorry, I'll get to it when you just said an hour or two, it made me, like I made myself absolutely furious it's such a focused hour or two.
Speaker 2:That's the problem, that's okay, that's.
Speaker 1:I don't want to have to focus for an hour or two. That's the problem. I, that's okay, that's, I don't want to have to focus for an hour or two. That just sounds really exhausting. Maybe next year.
Speaker 2:I'm sorry.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's my Matt voice. He hates it.
Speaker 2:No, that isn't your Matt voice. That's a much less dumb sounding Matt voice. That's a Matt voice right there. That's the one you use when you're really mad. Oh, I guess I'll have to focus for an hour or two. You're like that's really demeaning and I don't like it.
Speaker 1:I don't like it either no, your voice.
Speaker 2:Work is not the best no for feelers. It's fine if you're doing mean voices anyway. You want to do an email?
Speaker 2:yeah somebody wants some career advice, so I feel like maybe hopefully we're still in the window that this is relevant to you. Hi, joe and matt, I'm looking for some career advice, hoping you guys might be able to help. Currently work in emergency services and have been with my agency for about five years. Due to the nature of the work, I'm required to be available 24 7 and spent most of the last five years working nights, weekends and holidays. Generally speaking, I enjoy my work and a majority of my co-workers. However, the lack of a work-life balance has started to become a real issue. Am I speaking too fast?
Speaker 2:in my home life. My husband and I have discussed starting a family and I feel like with my current work schedule, we'd be constantly stressed over childcare and schedules and I'd miss out on a lot. This past week, I applied for a new position that would give me a much more standard work schedule, 8.30 to 4.30, monday through Friday. I mean that's a drastic improvement. I had my first round of interviews today. I'm waiting to hear back. However, I learned that the salary they're offering is about $13,000 lower per year than what I'm currently making.
Speaker 2:My husband and I have been super privileged in that our income exceeds our expenses, but I've become used to not having to stress over money, which is a place to be in. I'm now struggling to put a price on my happiness and I'm having a lot of trouble deciding if such a big pay cut is worth the normalcy that this new position would offer me. Our bills would be paid, but we'd probably need a little more conscious. We'd have. We need to be a little more conscious of any excess spending. Any advice or opinions you have would be so appreciated. Thanks, I mean if you want kids?
Speaker 1:Yeah, being on a 24 seven call job is being on a 24-7 call job is I don't know.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I guess one thing to find out is okay, the offering salary is significantly lower. You're talking close to $1,100 a month. Is that negotiable at all? Do you know if that's negotiable? If it's not negotiable, if it's a firm offer, that's its own thing, and so you will have to decide like hey, is that? But find out if there is any movement in that and be like hey this is so you can get it up 5,000 or 6,000?
Speaker 2:And almost yeah. And so those are tough conversations to have, like they're not fun, but you can absolutely go in and be like, hey, this is what I'm making right now. I really appreciate the flexibility that you guys that I would have through this position, but with such a large, be straight with them and just be like this is where I'm at and I'm not sure if I'm willing to, because if you get to the point where they want to hire you, that means that they feel you're the best candidate for the job or for whatever that you've been chosen. That's when you go okay, I am interested, but there are some things that I need to know before I accept. And so get to the point where you have an offer and then find out if you can, you know, adjust that offer. So that's the biggest part. We can't make the other decision for you. But that schedule is going to be really, really tough with kids, and what are your child care costs going to be comparably Like?
Speaker 2:you're probably still going to have how will it affect your costs needing that much care? Like there's a lot of things to consider that way. Granted, kids are also expensive, so taking a pay cut is it like that's a tough time to do it?
Speaker 1:so it's so hard. It's nuanced, it's very nuanced. I'd be inclined to take the pay cut, but I think that that's because a healthier lifestyle for me is always going to win. Like, I think that having a better work-life balance and getting to spend time with my family or friends is worth living a lower spend lifestyle.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and then maybe take that job and then take some time looking for either opportunities to grow within that role or find another role that has that same or an improved schedule.
Speaker 1:Because we talked about that with a friend not too long ago, because they got offered a job that was around this lower than their other salary and my feedback was how long are your salaries not going to be aligned? Because if there was room for, the new position they were looking at had a lot of room for growth and a trajectory for growth that was bigger than the previous job, and so it was like two and a half years or something of having a lower salary, like it wasn't forever, I don't know. Just all things to consider.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, good luck. Hope that helped. But again, try and take the job that is not consuming your entire life. Yeah, there is like fun stuff outside of your job that, uh, yeah would be nice to get to, especially if you're going to have kids, fun stuff outside of your job that, uh, yeah, would be nice to get to especially if you're going to have kids. Somebody also emailed us and let us know that, uh, you're using the tune to out of the box, which you kind of knew.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I did.
Speaker 2:She was a big out of the box girl, huge. So anything that fits into the cadence of out of the box um we use it she sings to it.
Speaker 2:So, following up on that. They do have a question also, though. I recall a few weeks ago that Joe briefly mentioned that you both don't have much of a village to help with raising your family, and I was wondering if you had any advice on how to parent multiple kids without any help, tips on routines, schedules or splitting tasks. I currently have a 13 month old, and my husband and I would really love to try for another soon. My biggest fear is that having two babies will be double the work with half the help, and I don't want our my husband and I mental health to tank due to taking on more than we can handle. Any advice you have is greatly appreciated.
Speaker 1:I think it's easier with another kid. That's probably a hot, hot take. Like it's easier the second time no Life is easier with the second kid, with two instead of one. Interesting, like I think home, life is easier.
Speaker 2:I don't know about that.
Speaker 1:Not when they're new, like that first year, but now they're playing with each other and they like keep each other entertained a little more.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like I genuinely.
Speaker 1:In the future, you will get there I think in the long term, two is easier than one yeah. Tips on routine schedules or splitting tasks um we're kind of a weird household to ask that, because we we pay for child care like yes, that is part of it.
Speaker 1:We pay for a village and that is a very large expense. But we pay to have somebody to help us with our kids four days a week so that we can do things like this, record the podcast and do various things. And we also only one of us is well, I don't know Our job is just complicated in terms of I'm kind of our full-time, I'm putting the 40-plus hours a week in with work At least, and then you're doing some, like I said, because we record this.
Speaker 2:I'm trying to do more.
Speaker 1:You do the back end of the podcast and you're starting to do some content here and there, but Matt has a lot of availability to take on tasks. But Matt has a lot of availability to take on tasks. But I think the biggest thing is sitting down and marking down expectations of who is taking on the mental labor for this, who is taking on the physical labor of this and who is doing the double checking and ensuring everything got done.
Speaker 2:Yeah, which I think is like a fair play exercise actually, which and we haven't done it like in the explicit form, but like I would look into that and really map out what it would look like with two kids, and I think that would make you more prepared.
Speaker 1:And we found the most success. That like, if a task is yours, all of the labor is yours. I feel like like with laundry or with cooking or with, like you know, we, we have a lot more success.
Speaker 2:Or you have to define where it ends and where it starts, like very clearly, like I will get it this far and you need to do the rest yourself, whatever it is, Right.
Speaker 1:So, Cause, otherwise you end up in that um, like kind of purgatory, almost where yeah.
Speaker 2:You're in a stalemate waiting for the other person to make a move and you're both frustrated with one another because, you're like well, who's gonna do?
Speaker 2:what we do, that they said they were gonna do this, yeah, and then you're like well, I never said I was gonna get that done, right, yeah, so that happens. But, um, yeah, definitely, I think. Just just try and map it out and, like, do as much as you can so that you can feel like it's been divvied up and understood, and then, yeah, eventually they will play with each other and it will be more casual that first year, though I would say that first year is tough. That's like if you're thinking another kid.
Speaker 1:That's what I would keep in mind is that first year and it's hard Like we have a touch more help now, like we said, like Matt's mom is watching the kids at our house right now while we record Um, and they moved about 10 minutes from us but we still.
Speaker 2:We probably call them maybe once a month or so they keep pretty busy, and then my dad has his own health issues, and so it's not um they're not integrated into our regular routine.
Speaker 1:They're kind of like our last minute.
Speaker 2:But that is, they're happy to help when they're needed, but their schedule is such and their feelings are like that it's. It's better as an as needed than like every week. This happens, which is the kind of thing you need when you have kids, and so it's important to uh to have that set up.
Speaker 1:And I just wanted to acknowledge that, because even having that privilege is such a game changer of having somebody we can call, so we see you. Um, okay, we have one more voicemail.
Speaker 2:Let's do it.
Speaker 4:Hi Joe and Matt. My name is Dana. I'm from Pennsylvania. Um, my boyfriend and I listened to your podcast basically anytime we get in the car for longer than 10 minutes. We've been listening for a few months now and just love the ways that our relationship mirrors y'all's and you always give us new conversations and things to talk about. It's definitely changed the way that we communicate with one another, and so I just wanted to share that. But I also wanted to ask in one of the last episodes you were talking about Matt and all of his shoes. Um, and my partner and I are always kind of figuring out where he can get casual, comfortable shoes that aren't necessarily like athletic sneakers. Um, I know I've seen a few that Matt has worn that I just couldn't find tagged. Um, one's like. One of them are purple, and then I think there's two other white pairs of sneakers. I don't know if he's super into Adidas or if there's certain sneakers that he really loves, but we would love to hear some of his opinions on that. Thanks.
Speaker 1:Big shoe aficionado, but the problem with Matt is Matt is a big shoe sale aficionado and so there is never any inventory of anything for me to link yeah, matt's bought like the last pair of them that they made two years ago and he got them for four dollars or whatever. Yeah, but you could definitely put together a roundup of a similar style shoe for people, right, yeah, yeah, I could?
Speaker 2:I've been trying to get mad on shop my.
Speaker 1:I don't know if that would be helpful, but for him to like link his wardrobe and put together outfits and things which I can obviously share on mine. Yeah, um, but a lot of adidas. The ones, the purple ones, that you named, were adidas. Those were sam smith's, weren't they?
Speaker 2:yeah. So what you're, what you're interested in, is a prime knit stan smith, and so the the typical stan smith is a leather sneaker, a court shoe really, because I think they're like old school tennis shoes from way back when, and so I've been really into the prime knit ones, and so they're a knit instead of the leather, and so they're really low profile, they're really comfortable and they breathe like crazy. I don't think they currently manufacture them. I do see that you can buy them on StockX for like $40. I don't know if they have his size or who knows what the availability is on that kind of thing. On the secondary.
Speaker 1:What other casual shoes would you recommend? That's a men's 3.5.
Speaker 2:Uh-oh, yeah, that's not quite it. Then, once you get into the real sizes, it turns into a much more significant dollar amount you have your white slip-ons adidas that you wear, okay those you can buy and those are not expensive. Those are the uh, I'm looking at them right now. They're on amazon for 50 bucks, I think, the volk raider, but the e and raider is a three. So yeah that I don't know how to describe that to you, but those are like yeah, volk Raid 3R Adidas slip-on shoe.
Speaker 2:Those have been good. Those are like. I keep like two or three pairs of those like I have them into the ground. I have like a pair that is for working, that just get absolutely trashed, which is why I like why are people? Why are you working on your car?
Speaker 2:in white, white sneakers every time um, and I'm like this is the pair that's been absolutely ruined. Yeah, those are like 50 bucks on amazon. Like we could, we could probably link some stuff right yeah, you don't need to figure out how to do shop my today yeah, that'd be a great task, I think cool, yeah, you're.
Speaker 2:You're talking about the prime knit. Stan smiths and I had the purple pair are like a pharrell limited run again. I got them on sale that these sound like they're like super limited shoes that I was like I'm gonna drop 200 just buy them when they don't perform well yeah, I'm like they didn't sell any of these tie dye purple shoes, but I kind of think they're sick and so I'll wear them. Yeah, that's where they end up.
Speaker 1:You have some cool. You have a lot of tennis shoes, though I guess, like a lot of the ones I'm thinking of are just like a traditional tennis shoe, but you have some other ones too. We'll we'll put together a little linky link.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, we'll, we'll figure it out. So, oh yeah, here's some great question, though here's some bright yellow ones. I think you can get a pair of the knit Stan Smith's on the secondary market without like totally busting the bank.
Speaker 1:You bought me some.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I did.
Speaker 1:I found those on sale. They're Navy back.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they again. I think they kind of pop up in like Adidas outlets and stuff randomly, but that's where I've found most of mine. You love a sale, I love sale stuff. I am a real sucker for them being like it's 60% off, and you're like, oh my gosh, what a deal.
Speaker 1:Like so I'm almost wasting money. Not, I'd be crazy, crazy not to buy these.
Speaker 2:I'll never see them again for this price.
Speaker 1:Which I finally had to say Matt, please stop buying me shoes.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you did.
Speaker 1:You got me good shoes, I wear them, it's not that I haven't bought you that many pairs have I? Yeah, how many, I don't know. 10? No way, yeah, I bet I could go buy 10.
Speaker 2:I haven't bought shoes in a long time.
Speaker 4:It's been a long time, Like it's not recently.
Speaker 1:That's not what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:But, like over the last, when I do find a good pair, I do ask if you want some.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Because I got you the Reebok slides that they need to make more of Reebok. If you're listening, make your classic Club C mules.
Speaker 1:People ask me all the time.
Speaker 2:We could sell the hell out of some club C mules.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:They're also just awesome.
Speaker 1:Like you can slide them on. I'd love a new pair, cause mine are busted.
Speaker 2:Years blew out almost immediately.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we probably should have tried to reach out. If we could like they'd replace them.
Speaker 2:I could probably take them to a uh shoe.
Speaker 1:They were so cheap, it feels like a cobbler. Yeah, I can probably take them to a cobbler and have them fixed.
Speaker 2:Take a pair of worn club mules to a cobbler.
Speaker 1:I don't care to do it. They're leather, aren't they?
Speaker 2:Yeah yeah, they are leather. Maybe they could spruce them up into something really snazzy. They put a real insole in there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, maybe I wear them all the time.
Speaker 2:You put a in there. Oh, that'd be awesome. Maybe we're going to invent a shoe. Yeah, I don't think we can steal the design, though.
Speaker 1:No, I don't either. They're lawyered up.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't know what Reebok I feel like is. They've been through some hard times. They might be doing good now, I don't know, but those are yeah. So you have those. You have a pair of the prime knits.
Speaker 1:Uh-huh, I have multiple pairs of sandals.
Speaker 2:I have a pair of slides. I did buy some sandals and slides for you.
Speaker 1:I think I have a couple pairs of slides.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I'd have to look in my closet to tell you more than that I've offered many times.
Speaker 2:That's true.
Speaker 1:And you've offered a lot. I've said yes a couple of those times, a couple of times times they just showed up.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Uh, but I've stopped doing that. I will ask you like, hey.
Speaker 1:I have a pair of sneakers like this. Do you want some? And it's never been that I have not appreciated. Oh, my tennis shoes, my three M, oh yeah, uh, are you feeling like, oh okay, yeah, yeah I, uh, I really do love a lot of the shoes you've gotten me. I just don't need more shoes.
Speaker 2:No, you weren't short on shoes to begin with.
Speaker 1:Like I'm in the market for a new white tennis shoe right now because I've worn mine into the ground. Yeah, but for the most part I'm pretty covered on shoes.
Speaker 2:That's fair. Okay, I've got to get off my phone. I'm just going to start looking at shoes guys. Well, on that note, yeah, wrap it up for the week. Yeah, we'll try and knock out a bit episode with a bunch of your texts, because you guys have been blowing up the text line.
Speaker 1:It's been really good, yeah we appreciate it, we love to see it, we love you guys. Subscribe, uh, and we'll talk soon bye.
