Olympics, Fart Walks & Pouring Back Into Your Cup
You thought we took you on a journey with the camel toe episode - but you weren’t ready for the fart walk talk. Jet set to unpaid water bills - we overshare (as always).
How did a Turkish shooter with minimal gear bag a silver medal or how a nerdy engineer transformed into an Olympic heartthrob on the pommel horse? Where are the romance writers at - surely we’re running this moment into a few spicy novels, right? Something about taking those classes off, gives them the Clark Kent polish - and stands on business.
Something about Snoop - the Olympic Spirit - celebrities like Flava Fav supporting athletes so they can compete at their best, these games have been unforgettable.
Jenny jumps off a plane - and right into recording - after a week long trip with her dad and daughter. How old is too old for Universal - and at 40+ can we just expect to get wrecked when we ride a rollercoaster? The summer is winding down - with our final hurrahs with close family members - daddy daughter days - as adults. Something about it gives us the warm, cozy feeling - and we dig into filling our own cups as school begins and summer ends.
It wouldn’t be an episode if we didn’t get personal. We recount Raebecca’s email inbox struggles - including an unpaid water bill. From the day she moved in. From ceiling struggle stress to email subject lines - why “YES” felt like “NO” - and the short story of how this happens.
And then farts - kiddos to those couples who can do it. But - could you? Where’s the line between freedom and farts in your relationships? And we want you to weigh in - because we’re on the same page but it’s the one where you get the stomach ache from holding it in. We talk friends who have saved their marriage - through farting, don’t believe us? Give a listen.
How did we get here, you ask? One of us joined yoga - and apparently we both share a massive fear of yoga farts. It’s all fun and games … until someone farts.

off an airplane and directly into the podcast. This is how I roll. Y'all, this is how we roll. This is, this is that was the last hurrah for the summer? I think, right, yes, becca.
Speaker 1:We have like 12 days, 11 days until school starts. I cannot do anything else. It is physically impossible to squeeze in anything else this summer.
Speaker 2:What I like is that you just manifested something is going to be squeezed in, but like yeah.
Speaker 1:I'm just, but yes, just landed about an hour and a half ago and got home and immediately booted up.
Speaker 2:And here we are, folks, here we are and welcome back to Olympics land Cause I don't know if you got much time to watch it while you were like busy. It's been so fun. 10 out of 10 recommend. I've been leaving it on my TV Like right now. Soccer's on all day. Every day I've been watching. Did you see the um? I don't know what the name of the sport is. It's like the guy where with the gun he like shoots the gun gun guys.
Speaker 1:No, I haven't seen any of this I've been okay.
Speaker 2:So yeah, there's. It shows everybody else, with this crazy equipment like these eye patches and these like lenses, the guy from turkey rolls up in a t-shirt, one of his hands in his pocket, turns his gun sideways and gets this silver absolutely no, anything. They're like that's badass. Oh it's. I'm gonna find a meme to show you because I did see a meme about that.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's because the guy was like going to home depot on like a random saturday. It was wild.
Speaker 2:everyone else is decked out in thousands and thousands of dollars of equipment. He's got his hand in his pocket like a full gangster. I mean, I'll never get over it, steven the pommel horse guy never getting over that.
Speaker 1:I really need to watch Sea of Limb. It just has not been in the cards for me, unfortunately. I would like to watch it just there. It just has not been in the cards for me, unfortunately, but I would like to do a little. Do a little catch up on it.
Speaker 2:I made a joke last night on Instagram that romance readers everywhere or romance writers, I'm sorry were opening their laptops and thinking about the pommel horse guy. Did you know anything about this guy? No, okay, so his only job for the team metal was pommel horse. He is like an engineer from maybe Pittsburgh, somewhere random. He is like I don't know if he's high, he's a super nerd. But he's literally on the side sleeping Like he's got his eyes closed. He's just dialed in the entire time. His is the last event, takes his big glasses off, wipes them like Clark Kent and pummel horses Like no one has ever pummel horse before. The guys on this side are screaming. You know how I love like the team feeling they just meddled for like the first time in like 17 years. They're out of their minds. This Clark Kent guy was like romance writers everywhere are like let's take the engineer nerd, let's give him huge classes, let's have a moment where he takes them off, wipes them clean and becomes like the strongest, most capable, most muscular man alive.
Speaker 1:But like I love that, I love the common thing that it's like the unsuspecting person who's rolling up and whipping ass.
Speaker 2:That's why Flavor Flav is sponsoring the polo team right, Because they were all working like three jobs so they could get to the Olympics.
Speaker 1:Flavor Flav man, he can't. Did you used to watch that show? I love him. I was obsessed. It was definitely a good time Him and Snoop is.
Speaker 2:I'm telling you right now whoever's idea was to just send Snoop to the Olympics and put him in every seat possible and let him be the hype man. Wait till you see it, he's everywhere.
Speaker 1:But he's funny, I've seen. Wait till you see it, he's everywhere he's just, but he's funny. I mean I've seen the one where he, like, did it with Kevin Hart and I guess it was like the last Olympics when it was the horse, you know, and it was like, yeah, Okay, this time he's.
Speaker 2:He's like down there with the athletes and he's having the you know. He's like dancing in the stands and the gymnasts are down in the whatever pit basically dancing back.
Speaker 1:I can't, I need it in my life. You do, I do. I just saw Nate at the airport because he works there. He said what are we doing this weekend? I was like not a dang thing, I can't, I can't do anything else. He was like I haven't had any human interaction like all week except at work.
Speaker 2:And I'm like.
Speaker 1:I've had all the human interaction. Your girl, your girl, needs to shut it down for just like 48 hours. So I've been in Universal I went with my, just so everybody knows.
Speaker 2:Yes, update been in Universal, I went with my just so everybody knows because I'm not Update us on Universal.
Speaker 1:So, yeah, I went to. Every year, me and my dad and my daughter do a trip. This is our third year, I think, yeah, third year, and so we did Universal Studios. So we've been going hard since Sunday.
Speaker 2:Is it lidocaine? Dude atlanta, what do?
Speaker 1:you hold my fucking neck on a ride. I'm not laughing at you, I just like to share logistics of like, oh my god. So first it started getting your ass to the's kind of irritating me on the trollicoaster, the trollicoaster.
Speaker 2:I've never been, so I don't even know what we're saying right now. Okay, so the trollicoaster.
Speaker 1:It kind of hurt you, those things yank you around. And then we did the mummy yesterday. My shit got like wrecked. I have not been to Universal in 19 years and last time I was there I loved this ride. Well, apparently it hits different after 40 because my shit is like. I immediately went back to the well. We went to lunch at an irish pub. I took two aspirin, took two beers and then went back to the room and put a patch on it it. It felt a little bit better. But yeah, I've pulled my freaking neck on a roller coaster.
Speaker 2:I love that you went this hard at Universal.
Speaker 1:I mean Becca. This is my life motto If I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it.
Speaker 2:No, no, no, I know you just said I got wrecked yesterday.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I did on a roller coaster and I got wrecked yesterday. Yeah, I did On a roller coaster.
Speaker 2:And then Clark, I like it better if you don't say how you got wrecked. I like it better when you're like I got wrecked yesterday and I'm like it was on Diet Coke.
Speaker 1:You don't have to know that it was on a trolley coaster, so yeah, so that was the fun. But we had a lovely time and it's so fun to have that much time with your parent, like yeah, together, and because, you know, we don't ever really get to do sleepovers with my dad because he lives next door to us. So it's just, it was so fun, we had the most fun. I love that, but I'm effing exhausted. Are you ready for routine?
Speaker 2:Well, I have a story for you first.
Speaker 2:Okay, let me stir Clark's noodles real quick. You are going to die when you hear this. Okay, so you know how I'm not awesome at my personal email. Like it's just not like sometimes like I had gone camping and sometimes I'm just not awesome at my personal email.
Speaker 2:And when I got this apartment which, by the way, I'm about to start putting on blast on here because my ceiling leak is back I came back last night. No, I came back last night. My whole bed was wet. It like wore the seal, so I don't know what to back. I came back last night. No, I came back last night. My whole bed was wet. It like wore the seal, so I don't know what to do. I'm probably going to need your help. I'm very upset about it. Oh my gosh. Yes, I'm upset. I didn't even put the work order in yet because I knew that if I did it this morning, then they were going to come in right when we were recording and I'm not going to deal with it. Yeah, I get, I'm with the girls on Sunday. We've been together for a long time. I'm like we'll go to the pool and I was like I'm going to use that time to go through my personal email and delete like 2000.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh, I just gave me anxiety Just hearing you say that.
Speaker 2:Well, this, this one's really going to give you anxiety. So apparently on that Friday, so two days prior, when I was driving, I got like a little love note from my apartment building that I had a bill that I did not pay because I thought, oh God. So apparently when I got this apartment, there's like this secondary little thing for your water, but I thought my water was like in my lease I have not paid for water for eight months.
Speaker 1:Where are these bills? Where have the bills been going? I don't know for all.
Speaker 2:I know like I don't. There's like this thing that you're supposed to sign up for and the details were like in your release and like the email keeps says like yes, and I keep feeling like no and I like you really just haven't.
Speaker 1:I don't like yeah, you lucky they didn't cut your ass off.
Speaker 2:No, but they definitely were like you have to pay this before Monday. So it's a good thing. I looked and then I had to send proof that I had paid it.
Speaker 1:Oh, my gosh Rebecca.
Speaker 2:Like I hadn't even I had to make a login, like it wasn't even like I think what happened because I do kind of like it was coming back to me a little bit but I remember trying to make the login and being like this is so complicated I don't have the I just it was like when we were selling the house and I had the attorney and there was all these like you have the real estate attorney and all these other people, and then I was trying to make sure I got everything for these guys, just so I could have a bedroom that leaks rain or whatever the hell. I don't even think it rained last night. So actually now I don't know what the water is. Well, wasn't it condensation before? I don't know that's what. But when it rains, both spots get worse. But like last night, it was just wet across my bed and now the sea, the whole line of like the drywall seal is like ripped and they're like we're going to have to open it up.
Speaker 2:But I'm like that's my bedroom. Why would we, why should I have to deal with this this many times? Yeah, and I mean it's not like they're old, no, but I'm like there was a thing on the ceiling when I moved in and you know how you have to put it in your lease agreement that if anything looks weird, like if there's a hole in the carpet so I put it in and they came up that day and just spray painted it. And now I'm kind of pissed because I'm like if that was a known issue and now I'm going to end up dealing with it like we're in month eight.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's yeah.
Speaker 2:Nah, for the bargain price of $2,300 a month. That's flipping bananas so that I can come home from time with a friend and have a soaked bed. I'm very frustrated. I really don't know what to do.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think we should talk legal representation.
Speaker 2:Okay. I think we're getting there, not on the podcast, but I think we should talk about it. Okay, I think we might need to, because, like I really don't the other thing is, like I really don't want to move. Yeah, no, I just got here the other thing is like I really don't want to move.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, I just got here you just got here, anyways.
Speaker 2:So yes, I have not paid a water bill in eight months. Who knew? Yeah, I, just so. I had a $422 water bill.
Speaker 1:I feel like that's something I would do, though, honestly, okay, I feel like I had something like that recently. I'm trying to think what it was. I was like, oh, I didn't realize I needed to pay that I can't remember exactly off the top of my head what it was. Thankfully Nate handles all of our things, because for the exact reason that I would forget to pay, I just, I mean, I guess I just thought it was like part of that something.
Speaker 2:Anything would be part of this, since I'm basically laying under my water bill, I was just kind of hoping that somebody else was picking that up, I guess. I don't know, I thought it was part of my lease.
Speaker 1:Yeah, cause they usually are. Yeah, I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 2:I don't know that I've really never rented.
Speaker 1:I think I mean for the most, most part, I feel like it's included. Or they send you a bill. Well, that makes sense.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they send you a bill and then you have to pay it. So, yeah, whoops. Can they really shut off your water, though, like to one unit? Do you think that's possible?
Speaker 1:yes, oh, I mean, it's like a yeah, it's a utility. Okay, sorry guys.
Speaker 2:We got off on. I know I was dying to tell you in personal I didn't want to text you. Plus, I had to get over the part where I was like literally shitting my pants because I definitely had the moment I was like oh yeah, that would suck if you came home and you had like no water and it was like after hours. I know Laundry that I like to do, and you know I'm like a bath taker, yes. So then I was like, well, I'm definitely saving this for the next time I see you.
Speaker 1:Speaking of laundry, can we talk about the thing that you posted yesterday?
Speaker 2:that made me feel personally attacked. Was it personal though, because I actually didn't even make it, but it was very on brand, it felt?
Speaker 1:very. It felt very personal.
Speaker 2:I didn't even make it. Do you know that you, single-handedly, are responsible for that, because you're the one that said it and then the algorithm gave it to us?
Speaker 1:on the marketing what did it say?
Speaker 2:It came to us on the marketing Instagram. You single-handedly Okay.
Speaker 1:All right, here's what it said guys.
Speaker 2:If.
Speaker 1:Simone can medal in multiple Olympic games and have several gymnastics moves named after her. I can unpack my suitcase within three business days of arriving at home from a trip.
Speaker 2:I love that somebody made that and I love that. Our algorithm was like these two talk about unpacking their suitcase all the time, so they were like you would need this. And then I was like I'm certainly not going to pass up this opportunity. So I texted.
Speaker 1:I messaged Becca and I was like I feel personally attacked and she said I didn't make it and I should start making funny ones, though. I know, though, my suitcase has been packed since spring break, which was in like early April.
Speaker 2:I know I was gonna ask you will you unpack it now that you're done with all of your like big vacations for a little? Yes, I will, yes.
Speaker 1:I will. I understand. Nate's probably listening to this episode right now and he's like hell, no, she won't, no, she won't, no, she won't. That shit will sit the floor of our bedroom. Yes, honey, I'll unpack it. I'll unpack it.
Speaker 2:I would be worried that, like my dog not that it matters I had a bagel this morning and I literally left it, you know, like the little wooden side stand to my couch. Yeah, I left it open, foil open, everything sitting there. The dog never once even got it like, never even sniffed around.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, no, tiny. I just walked in from the airport and Tiny has eaten one of Nate's pairs of sunglasses. So I mean we're definitely in like the chewing eating phase.
Speaker 2:See, that's part of why like for a little bit, especially when, like, we were at the house. I don't know what was going on with the dog, but every once in a while she would like pee somewhere. I think she was stressed, but I'm like you, pee on my clothes. You know, dog pee is like you're never getting that out. So, like I was always constantly like, and then the cat was sick also, so I couldn't leave stuff on the floor Cause God knows what she would do Let with it. I love that you're making stroganoff at 1116 in the morning. Listen, sister, I'm proud of you. I'm like, literally proud of you. You know what it's making me want, though I've been having a craving for it lately, like beef stew.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh, I'm having a beef stew craving too.
Speaker 2:I wonder what that means. I think it probably means we need vitamins.
Speaker 1:Let me tell you we may have talked about this on the last episode of the podcast. I was talking about it with somebody recently, so I'm that person. Yes, that on August 1st and like when school starts yeah, I feel like that's the beginning of fall, so like for me we talked about this, yes, so I mean, I definitely and I actually screenshot a meme that I had posted last year it's like me on August 1st and it's this girl in like flannel, with a pumpkin, drinking a pumpkin spot which I don't drink.
Speaker 1:Um, but anyway, I'm like that is me. So come August 1st, I'm like, oh, it's fall.
Speaker 2:And that's actually the perfect segue because it's also fall and it's definitely like we talked a lot on our new year's episode about like our word for the year. So this doesn't relate to that. This is separate because that's very much like the encompassing 2024. But I do like to really kind of reset when I go into the school year.
Speaker 1:Yes, you do this, I do. And yeah, I do. It's funny. I was actually talking to my dad about it today. He was like, oh, I'm so ready to get back to routine and like the gym and eating healthy. And I said, you know it's funny for me. Everybody always says like, oh, like your summer body. My summer body is the worst body of my whole body all year, a hundred percent. My winter body is so much better because I'm like she's back in school, I'm eating healthier, I have time to go to the gym a lot, so my winter body is so much better.
Speaker 2:I think I will tell you this. I actually think that's true for everybody in South Carolina. I just think we'll talk about it. Yes, because we're all on the boats. We're doing barbecues, like we really live it up here. Everyone's like drinking margaritas or having beer and like I don't know a single person who can literally say that that's their top tier body. Yeah, you are lying to yourself If you think that that is the best you've got.
Speaker 1:The only thing I got going for me in the summer is that I'm tan. That's all I got.
Speaker 2:You know, I don't even dislike my summer body, but I am certain, certain that I can do better.
Speaker 1:Oh, I definitely can do better. Definitely can do better, yeah. So yeah, I think it's out of routine and you're drinking cold beer and but you know, I say that but then here comes college football and I'm going to be drinking beer and eating chicken wings, but I, for some reason, I think it's more of the gym being in the gym, more in the in the fall, because she's back in school and I have I don't have mom guilt.
Speaker 2:No, there's like a big reset. So I also. So I joined a yoga studio this week while you were gone. You know, I just like to like really give you a lot of things when you come back.
Speaker 1:I don't see you doing yoga you a lot of things.
Speaker 2:When you come back, I don't see you doing yoga. No, I used to actually love it, do you? Yes, it's actually really good for me. Do you want to know why? You're going to be shook.
Speaker 2:This is why it's good for me. It puts me in a situation where, like, my natural energy can be like I'd like to be strong, I like to push myself, I like to be chaotic, but none of those are present and one of the best things I can do for myself is put myself in situations where I actually like have to be present. So swimming and yoga are like the two only and honestly, running, but I can't run right now. So that's like I can run like randomly here and there, but I have to be careful swimming, if I don't focus on my breath and like I don't know if you've ever done a lap like recently in your adult life it's actually very loud, yeah, and you have to stay really focused. So, like that for me is a really good outlet, because I can't, I don't, I just don't let the other minutia creep in, cause I'm like listening to the pool.
Speaker 2:Same for yoga. I went a couple of times this week. It's hot yoga, so it's hot as shit, you're sweating like crazy and I don't. I'm not good enough to tune her out. So for me, like it's kind of like the leadership thing actually, now that I'm like saying it out loud, looking to her and needing her to lead me through it, is actually very comfortable for me. Yeah, it's really random.
Speaker 1:That is random. I would not see you doing yoga.
Speaker 2:I used to do it a lot when I did half Ironmans Like I did it to get like just like on Sundays. It was like Sundays and Wednesdays I would go for like a good stretch and she would always there was like three of us that would go and she would always point to us. She was this beautiful, older, like 90 pound, lith, little, like voice of an angel woman. She was like I see, our athletes, we've got some really tight hamstrings over in that corner. Your best. She's like don't expect a deep stretch like some of your peers. And she we would just be like we could barely touch our toes because we were so like muscle round. I'd be like what in the world?
Speaker 2:But this, the girl that did it to Jamesy I went to core power was incredible. Like she told this like very romantic story about how she got this news the day before and it was really good news and she doesn't normally share it. But she's like you just have to take time every day to be really thankful and present. And she's like it was a good reminder for me that like I have a lot of gifts and it's easy to forget that I have them and I was like this is very much resonating with me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, I love that. I'm trying to think I've done yoga. It's just it's been a while and I just, I don't know, like it's a little too. I like the stretching and all of that. I think I'm just really worried I'm going to fart. I actually was really worried I was going to fart. I mean, like I'm going to be honest with you, like I think that would keep me out of there, because I'm just I would die, I would flipping die.
Speaker 2:I have definitely been in there before when somebody did, but I've also been in there when somebody showed up with toenails that looked like they were climbing trees with them less than an hour ago.
Speaker 2:And that, for me, flips me out more. But there's a good amount of just like young women with all different kinds of bodies in tank tops or like, basically, sports bras and leggings, and like there was no guys and I don't think. I think guys are definitely welcome, but there was a lot of like body positivity there. There's a lot of strength. I like the vibe. I dig that for sure.
Speaker 1:Like, but I also know that if some like, I'm that person that if somebody did fart, I would flipping, fall out. I'm that person when I get the giggles and it's always the most inopportune times you would have to leave. I cannot turn it off, no. I know it's bad. It's bad. I remember I was in a wedding once. I was a bridesmaid.
Speaker 2:Did somebody fart?
Speaker 1:No, but there was like this step that we had to walk up to get where we were standing and somebody tripped over it and it was this super religious wedding and I cried, laughing uncontrollably the entire ceremony. I could not get it together. It it was so bad and I mean I tried to think of like puppies dying and like all this stuff.
Speaker 2:No, I know what you're saying.
Speaker 1:I could not stop it.
Speaker 2:Just I can't, I get in situations like that, though, where I'm like I am screwed right now. I know when it happens that I'm not going to be able to pull myself together and we are in big trouble itself keeps me out of yoga studio. So I'm gonna be honest with you. The music was also really good, hers, you know what it wasn't? It felt very modern and it didn't feel like I didn't feel like I was going to like a magical crunchy hippie land. Like the music was really good, like it was good, like had like a little pop to it. The room was hot, hot as shit. So I was. There was a moment where my hands were like this and water was literally just a full stream coming down. The amount of sweat coming off people. I was like I feel like I've been baptized, I feel like I love it.
Speaker 1:I love it. That was very similar to me in universal.
Speaker 2:But it was just you know what. I haven't done anything like that in a long time, since way before kids, and I was like what a good thing to bring into fall is like being present. I like being around other women, but I don't always like being friends with everyone and I know that's like a weird thing to explain. Yeah, Yoga is one of those things where there's you have the company, but there's zero expectation to barely even say hi to anyone, which I kind of live for.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, which is odd to me, because I feel like you're such a like chatty, kathy, which is honestly why I wouldn't see you doing yoga. That's not an insult.
Speaker 2:That's. I'm a top tier yapper. I don't. I know my problem is.
Speaker 1:You're just you, you just like to, you like to chat, so I don't see you ever like being quiet for yoga and again, that is so not an insult.
Speaker 2:No, it's actually a really good place for me, cause it it basically takes away some of that might be like nervous energy, the talking. So it takes that like it removes it.
Speaker 1:I'm telling you it was like a good. I was know maybe I need to join you.
Speaker 2:I just will do like oh, there's a free week, you can do a free week, we'll do it when the kids go back to school. Do you know who I joined with? Whose idea was first? Who? Sandra? Oh sandra, walk in, sandra. She texts me monday night, my first night without the girls, and she was like Dennis isn't home, the kids aren't home. Any chance, this is your kid free week? I think it might be. Could we go and watch the Olympics at home team? Another completely random, off the cuff situation. And I was like I will absolutely come and watch Olympics with you at home team.
Speaker 1:And then within half an hour, we had joined the yoga studio well, I feel like she's like your most random friend, like she's, y'all do random things together.
Speaker 2:She is. I told you a long time ago my ex-husband said for somebody who's 150 miles an hour, you seem to have only fine friends who are 180. I was likera fits that. You fit that whitney, that like we were.
Speaker 1:We're a tribe, for sure. I want to. I want to talk about this real quick. So actually it's more. It's about farting. I knew you, I knew you were gonna have to. I have to talk about it, tell me about the farts.
Speaker 2:Okay, so no one is ready for this. Down the camel toe.
Speaker 1:They were done in today so I saw this thing, and I don't know if it was on Instagram or somewhere.
Speaker 2:I have no idea what you're going to say.
Speaker 1:But there's this lady who, her and her husband, go on fart walks every night after dinner together. What Well, she says. I think she's like a nutritionist, or I'm going to need to get further details.
Speaker 2:I might have seen this. I think she is a nutritionist and so going to need to get further details. I might have seen this.
Speaker 1:I think she is a nutritionist, yeah, and so she's like we're, we have a dinner and then we're going to go out, we're going to go on our fart walk. And so they, they, they do this every night. They eat dinner and then they go walk for 20, 30 minutes and just fart to get all the gas out and supposedly it's better for your digestion or something can you walk and fart at the same time?
Speaker 1:yes, I don't know if I can I'm sure you can, but okay, so funny, you know, I don't know something. Even funnier, though I could never do that, because you know I have no like. I have never intentionally farted in front of my husband ever.
Speaker 2:It was the same in my marriage.
Speaker 1:I don't like, I don't do that.
Speaker 2:I do have this friend Her name is Shelly and this came out. So we do this thing during Christmas where we do an ornament exchange and we all bring a bottle of Costco champagne and we get a little tipsy. But it's hysterical. And last year, of course, my world was like falling apart, but nobody knew. So I was like very excited to go to this. I was nervous, but I was excited because I knew I was just going to be with girlfriends and it was going to be unhinged and I wasn't going to have to talk and I probably was on the last three weeks of not being able to talk about this divorce situation before everyone knew.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so we're all sitting around, we're talking about hormones, all this stuff we talk about in the podcast hormones, different things, whatever and my Molly, miss Molly, technology, molly, from all of her she starts talking about. She's like she's team fart in front of your husband. Okay, shelly is like this beautiful, like she's like listen, she in college broke up with her boyfriend that's now her husband and she was like I'm just going to shoot you straight when he wanted to get back together. She's like I can't do this game where I can only shower right after I poop or like I can't be. She's like I'm getting stomach aches every time I hang out with you. This is not working for me, so you either have to like take it or leave it, and to this day, that's like. She's like I don't do it to be obnoxious, but I'm not holding it in and getting a stomach ache for you.
Speaker 1:I feel that. Do you know? I used to date somebody on James Island and I lived in Mount Pleasant and I would drive. I would not go to the bathroom in his house, I would drive back to Mount Pleasant to go to the bathroom.
Speaker 2:Was it Nate?
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:Oh, I'm just asking.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no.
Speaker 2:I'm the same.
Speaker 1:Like I was really, and I'm still weird about it and I mean, which is crazy because we've been together for 14 years.
Speaker 2:No, it is crazy. I would like to know who does it better. We should ask Kirsten from Raising Marriage how do you bring farts into your relationship?
Speaker 1:I don't know. I just feel like it's like a southern unladylike thing. It's not just southern, I can tell you right now.
Speaker 2:That's a hard pass for you.
Speaker 1:Well, let's talk about it, Now that you're're like going to be dating and like I mean, what's, what's the far?
Speaker 2:I definitely don't think you fart in front of somebody when you're dating.
Speaker 1:No, definitely not, Like never. I would sooner just have a horrible stomach ache.
Speaker 2:I mean, I have a stomach ache right now.
Speaker 1:I do too, probably, cause I'm hungry there. All right, so you're not, you're not going to do that, but you didn't do it in your marriage.
Speaker 2:You say it like you do it in your marriage. Well, no, I just thought I was a freak there.
Speaker 1:No, I don't, I don't even like, can we pull this? We all, we all fussed up to the farting.
Speaker 2:I want to know I want to know how you handle it. We need a fart expert, we need a nutritionist is what we need?
Speaker 1:Yeah, but it's got to be somebody that's not a fart walk lady. We should get the fart walk lady. I just got real excited about that. I don't know if people were ready for this.
Speaker 2:We were going to come on and we were going to talk about how you guys like basically, this idea that the kids are going back to school and it's sort of like a new year's. My friend shelby introduced me to this concept a few years ago, but it's not like a new year's, like a new word. We were going to talk to you guys about how we pour back into our own pour back into our own cups, yes, and instead we started talking about farts.
Speaker 1:I know, but the fart walk thing I found very interesting. Why, I don't know. I'm just like, well, it sounds nice Like having to walk with your husband, but then like if it's also good for digestion, cause, you know, nate's got some digestive issues too. So it's like maybe we just maybe all of our problems would be solved if we went on some fart walks.
Speaker 2:With your significant other.
Speaker 1:Can I ask you?
Speaker 2:a question. You shared a room with your dad right Cause you guys were in universal together.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we did.
Speaker 2:Would you fart in front of your dad? Absolutely not Same. I just wanted to make sure we're on the same page. No, absolutely not.
Speaker 1:And let me tell you why. My dad is hardcore. A lady is a lady Like. He even made the comment to Clark while we we were on the trip I hope you never cuss. It's so unattractive when women cuss and say bad words. And I was like dad because I cussed, obviously you and I have we cuss um. I was like dad. My jaw is on the floor. I'm like construction. For 13 years, I was the only woman in the company for a very long time. Like, what do you expect? Like.
Speaker 2:Also, why are he's like basically coaching you while giving her feedback about things he doesn't want to see?
Speaker 1:Oh my God, it's like anyway, so yeah, Okay, so you're pouring back into your cup.
Speaker 2:You're going to be going back to the gym. We actually have some new clients so we're going to get like some refresher, which I think is going to be really good for both of us. Something about like not that I always need newness, but I'm very excited to have some projects that require like a little bit more creativity with a little bit less structure. Yes, but then we start to roll into like actual holiday season, and you know how I live for that. So I'm actually very excited about the start of school. I'm nervous in some ways, but I'm excited too.
Speaker 1:Oh, I'm excited. I'm excited for the fun to come for her, I'm excited to get back in routine, and I mean really, those are the main two things. I'm just ready for routine, cause I although it's yeah, I think so too.
Speaker 2:My mom was saying like I think the kids are ready. She's like I always noticed that when we started to get close to the beginning of the school year you guys were kind of like done with the level that we ran at for summer. And she was like I'm sure your kids are there too.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so anyway. So, yeah, I'm looking forward to that.
Speaker 2:We just delivered an entire episode on farts. I know, guys, I'm so sorry, but it's part of life. It's part of life. You would never do it in front of a parent, you wouldn't do it in front of your significant other. You're talking about it on Apple.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but I'm curious to know because I've always wondered if I'm like a freak of nature or you know. No, I mean.
Speaker 2:I don't think we are.
Speaker 1:I think Molly is the exception. Yeah, no, I mean no. Actually, I do know one other girl who is just hardcore, Just like I'm not getting a stomach ache for anybody and I can't. I'm not going to name her out, you don't know her, but I respect her like boldness, I'm like God. I wish I was that badass, like I wish I could not give a shit about farting in front of my husband.
Speaker 1:But it'll never happen I'll be like 90, I'll be like 90 and be like nah, but at that point they'll probably just slip out. So, like, what do you do?
Speaker 2:oh, those are the worst oh my god, that used to be my mother-in-law what she was.
Speaker 1:She was a slipper, yeah, okay. Well, I'm so sorry we talked about farts the whole time, but I I'm curious to know. We're gonna have to poll y'all and I want to know about the ladies in the in the farts and actually I would love to learn, yeah, from a man is that a deal breaker? Is that a deal breaker if she farts? If you were a dude, would it be a deal breaker? I don't think it would be for me I don't know.
Speaker 2:I guess it just depends on the dude. We should ask can you ask nate tonight?
Speaker 1:oh, nate doesn't nate rips ass all the time. He could care less.
Speaker 2:No, I mean like for the girl in front of the guy.
Speaker 1:I don't think Nate would care, but I'll ask him.
