hi sashir hi nicole how the hell are you i'm also good um you know i have been away from my home for a while so it is um you know we're just like relearning each other yes learning living loving yeah and it's frustrating my internet's been down for a little bit and the sprinkler system was connected to the internet so then some plants didn't get watered oh no did they pass they haven passed fully. I think they'll be fine. But it's just, it just sucks. I'm sorry. And then NASA the other day, there was like a headline that was like, we might be out of the internet for months, for like a couple of months because of solar winds. I don't know, something.

Yeah. I mean, I don't know why people aren't talking about this. But also, I didn't know something. Yeah. I mean, I don't know why people aren't talking about this. Also, I didn't do any research. I just saw like a couple posts that were like, NASA said you may not have internet for a couple months. And I'm like, my whole house won't function. Wait, all of us? All of us. No internet. We're all just going to lose internet?

I think so. Again, I didn't use my internet to read that article. But that is what I saw. You know what? I love this. I love that we did no research. And we're telling the people of the podcast, you're not going to have internet for months, NASA said.

This causes pandemonium. It's another Y2K situation. Yeah, where everyone's like, I don't even know. Wait, what was supposed to happen at Y2K? The whole infrastructure was supposed to collapse? What was supposed to happen? You know,

I honestly can't remember i know people were like getting water and like yeah like it was like a disaster thing but like i guess it was maybe the internet we were getting water for the internet seems wild seems wild that they said the internet is going to collapse in on itself and then we said we we got to get water. As the year 2000 approached, many believed that the systems would not interpret the 00 correctly, therefore causing a major glitch in the system.

So we all got water. That's what I distinctly remember. And that sounds unhinged the the would-be computer cataclysm was supposed to cripple banks and governments so i guess like if we didn't have access to money and stuff you couldn't like we would just need our water and be okay well you can't buy water with no money i guess you're right what a wild period of time oh nasa's mission to avert internet apocalypse that could pause online access

that could pause online access. Wow. NASA has launched a spacecraft as part of a mission in an effort to avert a potential internet apocalypse that could leave people without access to the internet for months. Okay. And scientists have warned about the potential impact

of an upcoming solar storm, commonly referred to as an internet apocalypse that could strike within the next decade the spacecraft which was launched in 2018 took a remarkable journey that brought it close to the sun's surface where the solar winds generated wow and the solar winds consisted of a continuous this is wild okay um so this is nuts. When was this published? Oh, this is recent. This is from four days ago. Sashir, I can't believe you've got the pulse on the NASA news.

I told you. I saw the headline and I kept scrolling. But I was concerned. Heard it here first. She's got half the news. Heard it here first. She's got half the news. But good thing that NASA's on the case.

They're going to try to stop it. I'm glad NASA's on the case, sending spaceships up to space to the sun to get our solar internet. Listen, we're going to do besting it today. Besting each other. Wasn't that? Oh, shit. Wait, what did I call it? Besting it. What's it called?

Besting each other. I got to say, it is truly incredible to do something for so long and still get it wrong. Years. It's kind of like my life is is you know how you walk and you trip and you're like i've been walking for years how did i trip over air i feel like that's just my life i'm like doing things confidently that i've done over and over and over again and i fuck it up listen i'm having fun though and that's what counts. Ooh, listen.

You want to say who our guests are? I'll say. I will, yes. You take a breather. Listen. Hey, listen up. Do you want to say who our guests are? Yes.

Today's guests are Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin, and they are the hosts of a show on Netflix called The Home Edit. They also have a podcast called Best Friend Energy, and they're hitting the road this summer. They're going on the Summer of Fun Tour. You can go to their website, thehomeedit.com for more information. But basically they're an organizational company, they're friends, they're business partners, and we're going to see how well they know each other. Yeah. If their friendship is as organized as their business. first up we have Joanna this is a segment we call besting each other

besting each other I love it so we're gonna ask you questions and and then and then we're gonna compare and contrast answers it's gonna be fun. Okay, I'm here for it.

Okay, so first we have Joanna. Let's get into it. We want to ask you about your friendship with Clea. Okay. First question, how did you two meet? We met through a mutual friend. And I did not want to meet because I did not want a business partner. And Clea absolutely wanted to meet and wanted a business partner.

And so she's the friendlier one of the two of us. And she will agree with this story. And we went to a place called Frothy Monkey and had our first lunch and we got up as business partners without even asking each other. But what were the pretenses of this meeting? Like, did you have a mutual friend who was like, you two need to meet because you guys have similar qualities? Exactly. Clea had, I had moved from San Francisco to Tennessee about a year and a half before Clea. And she met this girl. I had met this friend,

Leah, who's our other mutual now best friend. And then Clea moved from LA. We did not know each other. She moved to Tennessee and became friends with Leah on Instagram. And they like struck up a fast friendship. And then Leah was like, my friend Joanna has an old organizing business that she's re-upping in Nashville. You guys should

do this together because Leah had expressed interest in doing the same similar business. And so Leah said to me, you should meet Clea and do this. And I was like, I don't want a business partner. I've never had a business partner. I don't want to. And she told the same thing to Clea and Clea's like, sounds amazing. Sign me up. And so I was wrong, which she will agree with. And she was totally right. And you know, everyone's allowed to be right once in this life. So, you know, I give her that one, but yeah. So, so that's how, that's how it went down. And then the second I met her, I was like, 1,000%, I'm obsessed with you. We are getting married as friends

and the rest is history. I love that. Yeah. What is your favorite memory from traveling together? Oh my God. I mean, I don't know how specific I should be, but just the insane amount of laughter. Like we have the same sense of humor. We have the same sense of humor.

We think the same ridiculous things are so funny. We shared a room. We always used to share rooms. When we first started the business, we had like $0. We would either stay at our parents' house in LA when we would do projects for free, or we would share a room in a hotel. And when we went to our first... One of our first international trips together, we went to London and we shared a room in London and I accidentally used her electric toothbrush

for three days and thought it was really disgusting. And I, I was sure she was wrong when she kept asking me and I was like, that's my toothbrush. And she's like, I have a terrible memory. So I hate it because anytime we get into a dispute about who's right, her memory always is better. So I automatically lose. And she's like, that's my toothbrush. And I was like, Clea, that's my toothbrush. She's like, I have never seen that toothbrush before. This is not yours. So anyway, I, all of a sudden I was like, Ooh, I think that is my toothbrush that I've not been using and so i mean we just died laughing forever oh my gosh i mean you guys are close on a different level now

very very close we're like both spitting in the sink for like two hours after that yeah so you and i are not that close no No, nor should anyone. I would never even share with my husband. I mean, an electric toothbrush, you know, like really gets in there. So it was. Yeah. Yeah, I feel like Nicole would stop talking to me if I used her toothbrush. Yeah, it's fair. That's it. It would take me like a moment to really get over it.

I would talk about it in therapy. It would be devastating. Yes, that's correct. That's the right approach. talk about it in therapy. It would just be devastating. Yes, that's correct. That's the right approach, feeling about it. Okay. What is your favorite thing about Clea? Her sense of humor. She's the funniest.

I mean, I'm talking to two very funny people. So as far as the people that I interact with on a daily basis, she is the funniest person I know. She's just, she's quick. She's witty. She's sarcastic. She's self-deprecating.

She's just so funny. And then she's also so caring and compassionate and giving. She will give in always to the point of no return. And it's her best attribute and her biggest flaw. Besides the toothbrush, what is the hardest that you guys have laughed with sashir she was wearing these shoes that were really loud and we were going down the stairs and it's not funny to anyone else but we laughed so hard to the point where there was a man at the end of the staircase staring at us. And he was like, good night.

And we were like, we are happy. Yeah, you're like, this is amazingly funny. Yes. What is the hardest? We've had so many moments in just where we know we're the only other person that thinks something is so funny. Even in filming, sometimes the producer will say something that they're just trying to get through their beats. But it all, honestly, in the organizing world,

makes no sense to what they're like. One of them was talking about these sentimental boxes. The way that they use the context of it was so absurd. And we both just started laughing. And then I couldn't stop. I had to keep going outside. Everyone thought it was funny for like two minutes. But then they were like, okay, time is money.

Time is money. We got to get on with the scene. And I couldn't pull it together. And then finally I pulled together and then I looked over and she started losing it. So it's just like, Hmm, that one stands out to me too. Those are the best moments. Yeah. You're just like dying of laughter and everyone else around you is like, okay yeah best gift of this life is just hysterical you know laughing what do you think uh clea's favorite thing is about you i don't know i guess just the ability just to have such an easy friendship where we just accept each other for exactly who the other one is yeah that's nice yeah that is nice and i think it's super important to be like i accept this

person like flaws and all you might have annoying things but those are the things that make up you and i love it yeah exactly i think you just accept someone as their whole being you know and you know what you're getting i mean we're both very we're both very authentic for who we are so there's not a lot of surprises which is very reassuring in a lot of ways. Yeah. Like I know if Sashir and I are going to watch a movie where nightfall has happened and there's a couch, I'm watching a movie alone.

My friend has gone to the other side. You and Sia have a lot in common. And I appreciate that you let me sleep. It's wonderful. I feel like in the beginning I was like, I think should wake her up she's missing the movie then I was like her body wants to miss this movie she'll see it on her own time yeah exactly exactly that's a friend yeah okay what is something that clea does that drives you crazy oh god she's always late always i mean no she will be late to her own funeral um and i would say a close second is she cannot say goodbye like if we have if we're somewhere together i am like now we know we have, if we're somewhere together, I am like, now we know.

We have parameters. We go together. And then there's always an option for her to get home some other way. Like take an Uber. I'm probably not going to leave with you because I will leave three hours before you. So that is something that I'm just like, oh my, she'll talk to a doorpost. I mean, and I'm just like, oh my God, let's move along with this life. She does not know how.

That's very funny. Look at that. You put parameters up to like, yes, cater to each other. And if you ask when you ask her, if and when you ask her, she will say probably that I want to leave every event like right when it starts. So we're probably diametrically opposed. We'll see what she says. What is something Clea does that drives you crazy?

And it's Clea's always late. Wait, did we fuck this up? I did. Yeah, I know what you mean. What do you think that, okay. What do you do that drives Clea crazy? Yeah, probably a million things. I mean, God, I mean, how much time do we have?

But I would say one of the things is that I just am like, I got to go. I need time by myself. I'm done. I need to get out. You're on your own. Yeah. Okay. Now we're back on track.

All right. That was in all fairness. we figured it out we did it and i was supportive this year i said we'll get it and we did thank you for being there for me in these trying times listen life is hard and it's long okay what is the best organization tip that you have learned from Clea? huge opportunity to have such a big splashy macro moment and I loved me in the little bits and bobs so like I want to get in there at the drawer and she just wants shoes and handbags and rainbow and I just want to be like sorting like shopkins in a little tiny drawer wait what's this shop kit I don't know it's insane, they're like this big. Little kids love them, but I think they're kind of cute.

I have to say. But they're like, I mean, it's an absurd waste of money, but they're like little french fries with eyes and like little, little tiny body, like these little plastic things that are just like, they're so cute and so weird. But I love sorting them out. Any sort of little bit. Okay. All right. Are sort of little bit. Okay. All right. Are they like little figurines? Yeah, kind of.

But they're like little arms and like eyes on french fries or like milkshakes or I don't even know. I don't even understand how you play with them. I just like to sort them for kids in home. Again, we have a lot of issues. Both of us do. This is one of mine. I don't think she has the same issues.

Stop, get out of the weeds. Don't get in the weeds. But I just love the weeds. Okay. Which one of you would do better on the television show Survivor? Neither. Neither. But I think I would do better.

We both have a ton of phobias, but I feel like her phobias in this situation would probably be more triggered than mine. Um, yeah. So I think neither is my first answer. And then a fallback answer is me, but only by thread because of the actual situation. Okay. Fair. What is a phobia of yours that would pop up? Um, well i'm just i have really weird ones like battery acid getting on my skin is a weird one um like bird poop i'm i hate it it stresses me out i don't like it near anything that i'm even sitting near like a picnic bench i won't even sit i'm just like no thank you that was fun um yeah but i don't think these things are going

to be survivor issues whereas clea's oh we both have turbulence hate flying both of us um but hers are snakes and i feel like in a survivor situation we're going to come across a lot more things with like the snake family this is true yeah yeah i mean you're out in the wilderness yeah the battery acid fear have Have you been? No, I know. I mean, I need real therapy. I just haven't had the time for really. Well, have you been in a situation where there was a threat of battery? No, I just am afraid of fire. And I feel like it's just one minute away from sparking a fire. Well, yeah. Yeah. No, we're not saying we're normal. I mean, she will tell you, too.

She's like, yeah, we have a lot a lot not working for us in this brain of ours. What do you hope that you're both doing in 20 years? Oh, living side by side in hotel and hotel rooms and traveling to beautiful places and laughing all the time wherever we're going. I love that. I love that you want to live in a hotel. Oh, we do. That's been on the list since the day we met. We were like, you know what sounds good? Live in a hotel. Yeah. Isn't that a little girl who lives in a hotel? Isn't her name like Eloise? Yes. She's got it figured out. Yeah.

I don't know how I know that. Yeah. I don't even know the story that's all i know about her but yeah i think she lived she lived in the plaza i think it's like a book about a little rich girl who lives in a hotel it's like i have problems the bellman doesn't have my cookies living in a hotel sounds pretty great you don't have any maintenance you have everything this is true yeah anyway

we've thought about it a little bit I love it okay well thank you we it was fun these are great answers now we're going to interview

your best friend okay see if she answers anything remotely close to your answers Okay, Clea. We just talked to Joanna about you two and your friendship. And now we're going to see

if you can match up to what she was saying. And if they don't match, you have to fold your business. Those are the rules. Sorry, we don't make them up. Fine. Those are the stakes.

I don't make them up. Yeah. How did you two meet? That's our first question. How did you meet? We met through a mutual best friend. She did not want to meet with me. I forced her to.

And we ended up getting a coffee slash lunch that turned into a four hour meeting. And we got up as business partners that day. Oh, wow. Interesting. Do you remember the location? Brothy Monkey in Franklin. Oh, oh, OK. Terrible name for a food establishment. Frothy Monkey. Literally disgusting. It is a wild name. It's a wild name.

Also for like many years of our business, every single password we had was a version of Frothy Monkey. It was like frothy like the, oh, it was a zero exclamation point after, you know, it's like Frothy Monkey is like a big piece of our history.

Frothy Monkey is a wild name. It's like, what are they serving? Like coffee, tea, and rabies? Really? Really? It's, I think, top ten worst names of an establishment I've ever heard. It's very funny. What is your favorite memory of traveling together?

Oh my God, we have so many. My favorite memory in general is being in London. That's definitely our favorite travel memory. My favorite moment from being in London is the time I realized Joanna had been using my toothbrush for three days so um I I went to go brush my teeth and it was wet and I was like well that's odd and I went I looked at Joanna's and it was bone dry bone dry had not been used since the United States. So, um, did you keep using your toothbrush or did you go find another one? Um, you know, it was like a Phillips electric toothbrush. Like this was like a, you know, like, um, so I, I cleaned it off, but I decided, you know, the damage is already done

here. So, you know, she'd been using it twice a day for three days um we already had shared those germs i'm not i'm not throwing out a hundred dollar toothbrush no i'm not gonna let that happen but could have gotten a different toothbrush and then replace the head when you got back possibly but i just went for it. I was like, you know, we're so far in, we're so far in. We're already in deep. I love this. This is, that's beautiful. Pre-COVID. Obviously it was pre-COVID. Yes. Yeah. Might've changed it post-COVID. But yeah. What is your favorite thing about your friend? um what is your favorite thing about your friend um her laugh oh and her loyalty and the fact that we can like sit together we never get sick of each other we can like be around each other

for a hundred hours and then still be like do you want dinner like i mean it's we never get sick of each other but her laugh is my favorite trait it's very sweet oh that is sweet i work really hard to make her laugh because i love the sound of her laugh so much like i want it to be my ringtone it's just joanna laughing oh that's really sweet what do you think joanna's favorite thing is about you uh that i'm funny not not to put too fine a point on it but i am so yeah that's that's what we were a good pair together that way yeah it's a symbiotic relationship what's the hardest you've ever laughed at something that you've done i laugh at myself constantly that i've done oh i thought you meant together um what is the well i mean like yes like the hardest you've laughed together with joanna like last night i was trying to look up something on

instagram but i opened my calendar and i just went hmm june that's a calendar and i laughed really hard and i laughed before bed and i was like that was funny god joanna and i have had so many funny moments again we spent an inordinate amount of time together but i would say actually toothbrush gate is probably the hardest we've ever laughed just because she was so incredulous about it and refusing to believe it at first and she's like no no that's my toothbrush and i was like it's absolutely not your toothbrush it's my toothbrush and she's like but i would know if it wasn't my toothbrush and like you could see it start to click in her face and she's like but is it it's not my toothbrush you know like if you could see

it just dawning on her um yeah we laughed we still laugh so hard about that but we have a million things honestly that we laugh about uh what is something that joanna does that drives you crazy she's a loud chewer especially with nuts absolutely tops the list do you mean like like mouth open yes like she has a slight mouth open slight mouth open with almonds specifically and if i ever go to jail it will be for stabbing her damn okay yeah i i have misophonia and like it it literally hurts my insides when she does it i know what misophonia is but it does sound like um an outcasts album yeah it's pretty good it's like as far as things go i think it's a pretty cool name yeah what is it again because it sounds close to mesothelioma that it does

you don't need to call a hotline for this that for mesothelioma um this is misophonia which is basically people who like have a very intense acute like sounds bother them so easily. You know, someone slurping milk from a cereal bowl, like any of that kind of stuff. Yeah, it's hard. It's a hard life, let me tell you. So Shira, I think you did it again. I think you inverted the question. I feel like just because that's how it should be ordered.

Just feel like. And guess what? I see you. I support you. Thank you. I accept. Leah, what is something you do that drives Joanna crazy? I'm always late.

A hundred percent. I've never been on time. In fact, I personally, you know, I grew up in Los Angeles. Like, you can't be on time. There's traffic. What are you going to do? So this was before Waze. Like, it's just, you know, you guess what time you're going to be there. And I personally think if you show up within the digits, that's the single digits being late, zero minutes to nine minutes.

I think that that's on time. That's my feeling. No one's going to change my mind. Yeah, there's a good grace period for like 10 minutes i think yes but joanna grew up in north carolina where grace periods don't exist so i'm like this is the way this is the way it is you can't hold people at fault for being in the sitges i kind of agree i 10 minutes is like the the grace period 10 minutes for everything except for airplanes yes for everything but like even like if restaurants are going to hold your reservation like come on you can too like it's fine um what is the best organization

tip that you've learned from joanna oh god, you really stumped me. I know that there's something that she must've come up with. I don't know. We, we collaborate so much that I have to tell you, like, I don't even know where one thing starts and one thing ends. Like, I feel like we, we just come up with everything together. I don't even know what she would say about me. I'm like, I don't know that. Have I taught her nothing? Has she taught me nothing? I don't know.

Maybe all her best stuff happens in the 10 minutes before you get there. Yeah, that's true. She's already put her brain to work so efficiently and I missed it every time. Yeah, I don't know. I'll think about it. I'll come back to you.

Okay. I think Sashira's taught me is different pouches have different functions. She packs so like, she's got these like pouches that all have different things in them. And I was like, you don't just throw stuff in your suitcase.

You don't just throw things in your little knapsack. And I've learned. So now my makeup and all my toiletries are in your little knapsack no and i've learned so now my makeup and all my toiletries are in separate little pouches of course a pouch for everything a pouch a travel square packing cube you name it i have i have pouches upon pouches saved my life okay which of you would do better on the long running CBS television series Survivor? Oh, my God. We OK, let me just say this because we've talked about it involving the amazing race.

Joanna and I would team up. We would crush it. We would win 1000 percent. But we're so afraid of everything that we would never get to the island. were so afraid of everything that we would never get to the island like with the plane even to like get to the survivor island we wouldn't we wouldn't be up for that so joanna and i if if you put a gun to my hand said who would do better on survivor i think it's joanna i would give up immediately i would like float to see like i there's no chance like i get very cranky and like a not well-appointed hotel room. So like I'm not going to make it in Survivor.

She's not so innocent. She doesn't like it either. But and she's vegan. I feel like she could eat like berries or something, you know, like I think I think she could potentially do better. But neither of us would ever get there. Too much, too much anxiety. Yeah. That's so funny that you said,

if you put a gun to my head, imagine we have someone at your house who's like, answer it. Right. I mean, if I had to pick, it would be, I think, Joanna. I would be so, I'd be so grumpy. I'd be so cranky.

It would not be good. No one would want me there. All right. so cranky it would not be good no one would want me there all right lastly what do you hope you're both doing 20 years from now um living side by side in hotel uh penthouses just being able to travel we and review hotels and like fun luxury experiences because that's all that's all we're going to do we're going to become travel bloggers and live next to each other in penthouse hotel rooms that sounds like is there it does sound ideal is there a chain that you prefer or are you doing boutique we're open we're open um you're open. Um, you know, I, I think, um, it depends on, we haven't picked a location yet. We haven't picked a city. We are loosely holding Chicago.

Um, just because it's like New York, but cleaner and, um, and, and honestly I would pick California, you know, born and raised, but we don't know if it's going to be like cut off into the ocean at that point. So like, you know, it's a risk at any point. It's a, it's a risk. So with the drought, with earthquakes, I mean, I think about these things clearly. Um, so yeah, loosely holding Chicago, but we'll have to have a second location because no one wants to spend January in Chicago. No. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Okay. Oh, I'm so annoyed that I can't pick. I think Joanna must have taught me something. Nope. She did it. She did it. I mean, the truth is we both teach each other so many things like we like come up with something and then, you know, we layer on top of it.

We're like, oh, this could be for but yeah i don't know i i don't know i i'm really i'm she's gonna be pissed i'm gonna really have to think about it this is gonna this you said that this could fold our business this one thing might so i'm dying i wonder if she has an answer i wonder what she thinks she taught me i'm gonna we will see well we're gonna find out we're gonna bring her in right now okay i'm nervous our entire business if we don't get these right. I know.

How did we do? The rules are the rules. Okay. The rules are the rules. The stakes are high. We asked, how did you meet? And you both said through a mutual friend. You both said that Joanna didn't want a business partner,

but Cleo was excited. You met at the Frothy Monkey. Terrible name. And the second that you met, it was off to the races. And it was a coffee lunch that turned into a four-hour meeting. That's right.

That's true. All of that is true. We asked, what's your favorite memory of traveling together? And you both said going to London and specifically finding out that Joanna was using Cleo's toothbrush for three days straight. Yep. Joanna admits that she has a bad memory. And Cleo was saying that Joanna is very incredulous about this.

But she was very sure because her toothbrush was bone dry. Bone dry. Sapphira desert. The bristles were like bone dry. Bone dry. True. It's true. We asked, what's your favorite thing about your friend?

Joanna said. Joanna says Cleo's sense of humor. Clea is the funniest person Joanna knows. Clea is also very compassionate and giving. It's her best attribute and flaw. They also get the giggles together and no one else understands what's going on. Clea said, loves

Joanna's laugh and loyalty. They never get sick of each other. They can be around each other for a hundred hours and then want to get a dinner. But Joanna's laugh is her favorite treat. And Cleo works very hard to make Joanna laugh. Perfect. Good answer, Cleo. Good work. Yeah. We asked, what's your friend's favorite thing about you? And Joanna said that Cleo's favorite thing about Joanna is how easy of a friendship they have. They can accept anything about each other,

like Clea will fall asleep watching a movie, which is something I identify with because I do that on Nicole's couch all the time. And then Clea said, Joanna loves that Clea is funny, and that the toothbrush gay is probably the hardest that they've ever laughed together.

There are other stories, but that's a different podcast. Yeah, right. A different episode, I mean. Like we could fill so much time just talking about the things that have made us laugh so hard. Yeah.

We asked, what's something you do that drives your friend crazy? Joanna said that she always wants to leave an event very early and just leave. And it drives Clea crazy. Clea said that she's always late. She grew up in LA and infected her and believes that if you show up in the,

is it slidgets? It's a slidget. A single digit. It's a slidget. That's a slidget. That's how you say it but Joanna sees it differently yes

it's true Joanna hello the thing that drives me crazy is obviously you're a loud chewer I am a loud chewer but I thought it was supersede the fact that I always want to leave events before we get there oh shit I forgot to read that part Clea said Joanna's a loud chewer

especially with nuts yeah did I did I fuck that up no oh I so it's my turn to fuck it up thank goodness we both did hit it Sashir we asked what's

hit it get it Hit it, Sashir. We asked what's... Hit it. Get it. We asked what's something your friend does that drives you crazy. Joanna said, Clea is always late. Clea would be late to her own funeral. Yeah. Plus, Clea cannot say goodbye. It takes so long for them to leave a party together.

They can't actually go together because Joanna will want to leave early. True. And then Clea said, Joanna's a loud chewer, especially with nuts. It's true. And if Clea ever goes to jail,

it will be for stabbing her. It's true. You won't go to jail for this. No, no, no. For the loud chewing. I won't just stab her willy nilly. But if she eats almonds too loudly, one day I'm going to snap. Mm hmm. I get it. There's a cause and effect.

Yeah. We asked, what is the best organization tip you've learned from your friend? Joanna said, Clea is a master of making things look beautiful. Clea will set up a grand moment. Clea loves closets because it's it's a great moment for huge, splashy things. And Joanna wants to be in the nitty gritty little things like going through drawers, working on small, small scale stuff. Joanna loves being in the weeds. Clea said, I don't know. I just simply don't know. We collaborate so much. I just don't know. I guess we've taught each other things. I don't know we collaborate so much I just don't know I guess we've taught each other

things I don't know I've taught you nothing I can you think of something yeah functionality you make things prettier and I was I came from a place of function yes you know i'm right but but elevating someone's like work it i in my mind i took it as like a tip like a thing like a look at this thing like spice jars oh no no i didn't take it that way i wouldn't have had such a nice thing to say about you okay but i but i'm like what like i taught you to make a shoe roll like i mean i don't think that that prettier that's a huge compliment and i get zero well i was thinking about it i said i needed to round back i was thinking about it you didn't round back why i didn't have a chance i didn't have a chance i'm gonna think about it i'm gonna think about it you have taught me that what it was like the most important. I'm sorry.

The answer period has ended. Okay. Yeah. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I failed that one. I failed that one.

No, you could say you thought about it. What? She didn't round back. There is no. Everyone will be getting an email from me tonight I said we're such good collaborators I didn't say that though

I gave you your own shining moment and it's done I don't think I've taught Joanna a specific thing either I said we go full circle together alright sometimes the best partnerships feel like they've always been there yeah oh that's good to share i'm gonna yeah i will i will get a text like two in the morning that she thought of it she rounded back yeah i will round back you better

believe it oh i'm waiting for the rounding yeah you. You gotta round back. Yeah. We asked, which of you would do better on the show? Survivor. Joanna said, neither. But Joanna thinks she herself would do better. Both of their phobias would get in the way,

but Joanna's probably less so. And Joanna is afraid of battery acid, bird poop, picnic. Oh, she says no to picnic benches, but only if there's bird poop on them. And then Clea said they discussed in regard to the amazing race

and that they would absolutely crush it, but they're so afraid of everything that they wouldn't even get to the island. And she said, gun to my head, Joanna would probably do better. Clea gets cranky even in a bad hotel room. So she's not going to make it on Survivor. on survivor no i would not if i just sleep on leaves i would be i wouldn't do great but i could sleep on late i said that you could also like forage for berries yeah i would be good for

i would be good at forging right i'd give up we asked what do you hope you're both doing in 20 years you both said you want to live side by side in hotel rooms. Clea did specifically say luxury penthouses. Yeah, okay. But you want to travel, go to beautiful places, become travel bloggers. You haven't picked a city yet. Clea said maybe Chicago,

but you're looking for a second location to avoid being chilly. Yes. Chicago winters are rough yeah yeah we have a few years because you asked 20 years so we have some time to round back with you nicole yeah we'll get back to you on location potential second i can't wait for that email in 2040, really. That's right. But you got basically the same answers. Yeah. We believe you're friends.

You can keep your business together. Except the one thing our business relies on is organizing. I can't come up with a thing. But I'm going to. What a glaring thing. You what? I taught you nothing.

I don't know. I just feel like we teach each other things. We come up with things together. Isn't that better? Yes. But that's not what's on the question.

No, I know. Don't worry. I'm going to come up with an answer. I'm really going to, I'm really going to. You really work on that if you want to save our business.

I would, I would definitely put our business in mind together. Yes. Surely there's a thing. I'm going to think about it about it surely surely you've told me one thing that's the risk of coming on this show yeah it is the risk you tear apart friendships it is right so yeah but your friendship is very beautiful it reminds me of mine and nicole's a

lot i love that you guys like to laugh so much. And you compliment each other in a really great way. It's the only way to get through. Like, how can you get through anything? If you're not, like, laughing about everything. Have to be. I mean, just have to be. We laugh all the time.

It's what saves us every day. It really is. I feel that. I just wish we were, like like comedians like you guys. Cause then we're not funny. We just laugh. We just laugh at like the ridiculous situations we find ourselves in all the time. All the time.
