Starting point is 00:00:00 I hate gift giving and receiving receiving gifts is so weird. What do you say? Thank you? This is coffee convos with Kale Lowry and Lindsay Chrisley. I really want you to be in your feels Kale That does not interest me whatsoever. I feel very attacked by you a spirited discussion about motherhood friendship Family and life in the public eye. I'm just not with the fakery anymore. There's a fakery bakery around here Here's Kale and Lindsay This episode of coffee combos podcast is brought to you by Huggies special delivery diapers. Hello listeners of coffee combos. I Can actually not see you but like see you doing that. I was trying to spice up your morning. Good morning. Good morning. Buenos dias
Starting point is 00:00:45 Buenos dias Um, wow, what a time to be alive. Good morning coffee combos podcast. Good morning kitty gang Yeah, I am going through Some stuff and so I don't know how long I'm going to make it in this episode and I just want to like preface um, the episode with that because yeah, I have just been on an emotional journey roller coaster since Wednesday I Briefly said that on the southern tee when I recorded yesterday and just like I'm just not in a place to go into details
Starting point is 00:01:28 But yeah, I just been on an emotional roller coaster I feel like sometimes life hits you really hard and multiple things all at the same time and I think it in some ways is Sad in a lot of ways, but then in some ways It's a wake-up call, you know, yeah, no, I understand completely That all being said I need to send you a picture of this creature before you go just because you don't know creature Oh, yeah, so by the way before we
Starting point is 00:02:01 move on Kail and I did a live Yesterday, and I thought it was so much fun and I got a lot of messages from this people saying that they loved us doing that in typical fashion I Sim I put myself together Kale was like snoozing on the couch halfway with cats a very good time, but I was so Excited about how excited people were for us to show them our houses Like I had no idea that people were like really that interested in knowing what our spaces look like
Starting point is 00:02:38 No, they were so excited and even asking Lindsay like where she got certain pieces and No, I loved it. I thought it was fun and people I think people want to see us interact and it's hard because even when we get together Like we get together for work And so we don't they don't really get to see all the fun stuff that we like the fun that we have ordering food to our Airbnb and just like Chill in they don't get to see the behind-the-scenes stuff So I think it was fun for them to kind of see us interact outside of the podcast so much fun So we definitely need to do more lives and I think I don't know Are we like trying to work off of an impromptu schedule like waking up in the morning and
Starting point is 00:03:16 Kristen doing a temperature check and being like, okay, where are you guys and then? Letting the fan pages know and the Instagram page know for people to get on or we like super pre-planning me No, we're not super. No, we can't super pre-plan. Okay. I mean, we maybe can maybe love that Yeah, like we could half plan half be checking the temperature, you know what I mean? We got to do a get ready with me Because I do do my makeup sometimes Wait, I've got to say something about the get ready with me. Like first of all, I've never done one. Oh Secondly, I think if I ever did do a get ready with me if people don't think I'm crazy already Like they immediately will think I'm crazy. Why do you say that?
Starting point is 00:03:59 because I feel like Okay, the way and I have talked to my sister about this before like growing up because we used to shower together like all the way up until I moved out. Is this weird like no, okay, so we would shower together and the Patterns of like how she would shower looks very differently than like how I shower Mm-hmm And then also the way she gets ready is a very different than how I get ready And so I just wonder like at what point in your life did you create these patterns of Like how you do things and why those things are logical to you in the order that you do them in
Starting point is 00:04:38 We need a psychologist out here because Does that make sense? No, it's a really good question because I I mean from I can't I don't really remember seeing my mom Get ready a whole lot And she's all I don't have siblings or anything to compare to But I would go on a limb go out on a limb and say that I probably don't get ready Anywhere similar to how my mom got ready. Oh, yeah, no, absolutely Absolutely not like I will tell you though as a 32 year old woman I still would go into the bathroom and sit with my mom while she's butt-ass naked put it on like lotion and
Starting point is 00:05:14 Getting ready. I feel like that's actually more common than we think you think so. Yeah Okay, so I have to ask you get in the shower. Mm-hmm because this is the part we can't show on and get ready with me Like you get in the shower. What's the first thing that you do? I wet my hair I wet my whole body my hair like wet everything and then I wash my face first No, that's I have to say that's the wrong order. There's no right or wrong order But like the soap that's going on your hair is like Inevitably gonna wash down on your face and like everywhere else. So I always start from like top to bottom Okay, Susie. That's what my mom used to tell me too, but I
Starting point is 00:05:56 Okay, Susie if I have if I have makeup on I need to get all that off before I wash my hair like I need to get No, you don't have the elements. It's like, um, oh, I have that cleansing balm. It's my fave So I take but I will take my makeup off and stuff. Sometimes I'll wash my face first Sometimes I wash my hair first depending on how I'm feeling sometimes I don't wash my hair So if I don't wash my hair and I have my little bonnet on I will just wash my eyes You would put a bonnet on in the shower like I love that Actually, I should put a bonnet on in the shower because I have such textured hair that when it does get like any moisture Touches it if it's like on a non-hair washing day
Starting point is 00:06:39 It's it's a force to be reckoned with like please like so bad But if I'm not washing my hair, I will say I do wash my face first. Okay, so we're the same you're watching Hey, yeah, okay. So then these three things do you shave your legs your vagina or your armpits first my armpits? No, it's legs Vagine pits legs, Vagine pits. Okay, I go Arm pits legs Vagine, but I don't do that every shower. You don't know I used to but then I don't know like in my old age. I'm kind of like, you know There's just gonna be some stubble there and we're just gonna work with what we're working with but then
Starting point is 00:07:21 Yeah, I Do my hair. Okay, if I'm getting in the shower and I do the full shebang. I'm doing hair face Wash my body one time to get like the funk off And then I shave Then I wash my body again, and then I rinse everything off again while my cuz my condition is still like in my hair and Then I get out. Okay, so I need to know what everybody else does in the shower But we can do a get ready with me like once we are out of the shower hairs brushed Makeup routine mine is probably terrible. My sister says I do not know how to do makeup
Starting point is 00:08:00 What so ever and like every order that I do everything in is completely wrong every brush that I use is wrong So shout out to Savannah for really helping myself esteem facts I also know that all the brushes I use are wrong and like the techniques I do But I don't give a shit because it works for me and I'm not like a super makeup guru So I just you I just do what works for me and I don't care But I just sent you a picture of the creature that Isaac and I want I'm gonna be pissed off If it's something annoying Okay, what I can't even say this the fuck is that it's an axolotl. The fuck is it ass ass
Starting point is 00:08:39 What axolotl? What is an axolotl? It's a Aquatic salamander, but if you don't take care of it, it will just turn into like a regular lizard wait, huh Wait When they're like what when they're like neglected. Yeah, they could turn into like just land creatures At what point did you decide that you felt that you needed this? well, this tick-tock came up on my Instagram on my tick-tock and it was unboxed my axolotl and I was like what the fuck so I watched the tick-tock and I
Starting point is 00:09:19 It was so weird because me and Isaac we were on Sunday after basketball. I was like Isaac I saw this like new like creature on Tick-tock and I like showed him and he's like, oh, yeah He's like that's an axolotl and I was like what and he's like yeah They have him on Minecraft and I was like what do you mean and he was like I I know what axolotls are and he like told me about them and then I was like Well, I'm on a hunt to find one like I need to find one I want one and he was like me too. So he picked out I
Starting point is 00:09:50 Found this website where they're like a it's like a breeder. They're actually endangered in the wild They're but they're not endangered in captivity But everyone's telling me that they're like super super high maintenance and so that's the one thing that like scares me And I need to do a little bit more research on them But they are basically like in the salamander family, you know what I'm thinking of Immediately when you're telling me this Is hold on. Let me see if I can find the clip. Okay. First of all, did you watch Matilda growing up? Yeah? Yeah, where they put the lizard in the pitcher and then it gets on mistrunchable. Yeah. Yeah
Starting point is 00:10:32 Um, we're the one from parent trap where the lizard goes into Meredith's mouth. Listen to this. We can spell difficulty You couldn't spell difficulty if your life depended on it. She taught us with a poem. A poem? How sweet. What poem was that? This is me missus. I missus. I missus. I missus. I missus. I missus. You missus lty Why are these women married? Yep Okay, and do you remember the I love the movie Matilda even me my kids love the movie Matilda Do you remember the part where she has the salamander and like Like they're in the woods and look the kids. Yeah, the kids. Yeah. Yeah, they got they get the salamander
Starting point is 00:11:28 And then they bring it into the classroom and then they um, it's a water. Yeah, they put it in the um In the pitcher and so when mistrunchable takes a sip of the water and she sees it She freaks the fuck out. No Isaac's canceled on this Isaac.

Yeah, he's like I did not allow. I did not agree to this Pets can wiggle their way into the center of your life They command your heart and your snacks and at some point you find yourself making decisions that revolve around them Like looking for a pet friendly place

They're perfect. You're gonna love it. Oh Um, isn't that from shea mitchell? Yes, she's from she's an actress and I love her on tiktok and instagram
Starting point is 00:15:53 But she made like the best sleek and affordable bags and luggage. So I actually got a suitcase I didn't do it on boxing for yet and the weekender bag is perfect I literally used it this weekend for when we went to pennsylvania for uh, linkage basketball Oh my god, it looked so cool I just it looked super easy to like fit and it looked like it would fit all your stuff So I love that the bottom of it the base of the bag Um, no pun intended is for like your shoes and then your shoes don't have to touch anything that are in That's inside the bag. Yeah, it's super functional and
Starting point is 00:16:25 Like I said, it has a place to store your shoes separately, which I have never found in any other bag I Saw that you got it in like the neutral tone and I was like, I immediately need to see how many other colors they have so I went on the website and There was they had such a good variety of colors and just like different sizes So I felt like you can even get stuff for shorter trips longer trips or whatever. Yeah, no I absolutely love it and I love that it had like a separate Place to put on you can slide it on to your luggage
Starting point is 00:16:53 So if you're going through the airport, you don't have to worry about it falling off of your roller suitcase So that was like one of the things that sold me as well because I travel so much They have over 30,000 five star reviews.

That's b e Is travel comm slash coffee? outside of that I need to Ask you. Oh my god. I'm scared. Do
Starting point is 00:17:29 baby daddies Significant others when they have them. Do they refer to you as The ex or as the kid's mom like when they talk about you or you don't know? Um, I know I know Javi calls me my son like he'll say my son's mom. Okay. Um I'm assuming Joe does the same. Chris probably just calls me Well, he calls me they um, he calls you what they they like he won't ever say like kale or she he says they Um Okay, and I don't that's not the pronoun I go by so I don't really know
Starting point is 00:18:07 I'm sure it's like a mix of things for him What you go by she her Yeah, that would be like my pronouns Wow shout out To to you baby daddy number three Daddy number three. Love that so it's interesting because
Starting point is 00:18:26 in my current relationship with suburban dad When I refer to His ex-wife I refer to her as the girl's mom And I feel like if I'm if I was referring to her as his ex-wife. I feel like there's a negative connotation there Okay, like I don't know why like I'm so weird about it. So I Sometimes will refer as you guys know I talk about it all the time on here to Javi sometimes. He's my son's dad and sometimes He's my ex-husband Um, but that's more for comfort of myself because
Starting point is 00:19:01 I don't want three baby dads. I have two baby dads and an ex-husband. So it's more like more for like me Um, but when I say ex-husband, I think so many people know Javi and I's dynamic that it's not really like offensive or demeaning in any way um He probably gets annoyed because he's like can you stop calling me your ex-husband? But like he literally is my ex-husband. So I don't know. Well, it's like, okay. Those are inevitably Two roles, right? So if will was referring to me, it would be like, you know, probably like
Starting point is 00:19:35 bitch cyberbullier No way um x y Like these things. Um, I'm probably the last thing that I'm referred to is Jackson's mom to me I'm like
Starting point is 00:19:51 For whatever reason the ex-wife um How am I trying to explain this christin like come off of me like the ex-wife word or uh Reference is like the most least or the least important thing of all Yeah, because like I think it's how you deem like your job roles, right? Like your life jobs. So Jackson's mom Yeah, Jackson's mom's super important to you. So he's gonna
Starting point is 00:20:21 Try to like take that away. Yeah so when I'm referring to suburban dads ex-wife, I always say the girl's mom because that is the most important role, right? I'm just so weird about it. I'm like, why do we why do we care about like The other titles like they shouldn't matter. No, that makes sense. Like my son my son's father I mean most if I'm talking to someone. I don't know I'm 100% my son my son's dad my son's father
Starting point is 00:20:51 And do I call will my baby daddy at this point or do I just call him Jackson's dad? Like with when we're when you're shooting this shit with friends or like on the podcast like we know that you're kidding So if you say like my baby dad But you're like my baby daddy, we know you're just joking But I think in most situations you would say like Jackson's dad Yes, like I know that you would be respectful, but like here it's like more casual. It's kind of like Um, like the closest thing I can refer it Like I can compare this to is like in the Spanish culture or like hobbies culture
Starting point is 00:21:23 Like you would say you would refer to elders like you wouldn't say como estas because that's like more casual So same thing for us is like when we're casually talking about our kids dads with friends It's baby daddy or ex-husband But when we're talking to people we don't know or like people that we're just acquainted with we would be more What's not mature, but like politically correct. I guess yes. Yes. Yes. Yes Um while we're kind of like on that topic in relationships It's so interesting because in the current one that I'm in and
Starting point is 00:21:57 I feel like you exert different energies and different relationships, right like even with friendships or Or whatever because different relationships cause you to feel different types of ways and I know that like I very much have big dick energy when I don't feel safe And when I feel safe and I'm able to let my guard down I feel like I very much can exert very feminine energy
Starting point is 00:22:29 um opposed to like having to feel dominant in every situation and like I'm always on the defense um and Sometimes I'm just like I don't want to have big dick energy anymore. Like I just want to feel like safe and Be in a space where I can just be feminine, but like it's hard for me um You and I are the same in that. Um
Starting point is 00:22:54 I typically wear the pants in my relationships and I also We talked about this like when I was on teen mom and stuff like I would be very defensive and like Very cold because to me that was like big dick energy. Um, but no, I actually agree with you and Like I want to not submissive. I don't want to be submissive, but I want to be like more Kristen is the word docile You said docile I think I don't necessarily know that there's like an actual word for what you're trying to explain
Starting point is 00:23:28 Like I think that you want to feel softer and like just have that feminine energy That like someone else is taking care of something. It doesn't always have to be you Like I was talking to my dad yesterday And I said, you know There's certain things that as I've gotten older that I have grown out of like The need to feel in control of all things at all times and I think that some of that goes back to
Starting point is 00:24:01 The relationships that you find yourself in like I have to make so many decisions as a single mom every single day and in business and In motherhood and running a house and all of these things that I don't always want to make every decision when it comes to a relationship or feel like I need to make every decision when it comes to a relationship like I definitely want to settle into a role of like You know, you've got this so I don't have to right right But without holding it over your head because I think that's also my experience is like
Starting point is 00:24:38 I don't want to let go of control because you will hold it over my head And I don't like that so I want to be in a place where you know We feel safe to be softer and to be you know, let go the reins a little bit But also not have it thrown against us. Oh 1,000 percent 1,000 percent um wait, you had said that Sometimes you feel jealous of people who don't have kids. Yes, and like I want to know more I love my kids to death to pieces I would go to the ends of the fucking earth for all my kids and truly all of their friends
Starting point is 00:25:14 but sometimes you know, I look at people who don't have kids and They get to get up and go whenever they want and they get to Live their best life at all times and they can do like pretty much whatever they want I mean, I think that that is like a normal thought process that most moms Have experience with
Starting point is 00:25:39 I think when I watch caroline, um You know, she is a teacher and a cheerleading coach and You know has her own little personal life with hanging out with friends and doing whatever outside of that and I'm like, okay. Well, that's so nice, but You know like for example, we went to taco mac the other night and took jackson to taco mac and it's like in the morning
Starting point is 00:26:04 You can probably sleep, but you know, I have to wake up and mom and like I've just had experience with friends that Don't have kids and they go through breakups and whatever and they're allowed to like sit and their feelings more so like This weekend for me. I was very and I was in a very emotional state But I had to like hold it together because I have jackson but also I feel like there's challenges that come along
Starting point is 00:26:30 With not having children too because I think sometimes you know people envy Or desperately want the life that we have as mothers And it's like you always want what? You don't have like there's a part of you that like That wants to experience what you don't have in that moment and your time will come Just like the time will come for people who desire to have children
Starting point is 00:26:57 And their time will come to live that life and your time will come to have peace. You're just like not there I I don't have anyone in my life that Wants children so bad like most of the people That i'm surrounded with that don't have kids yet. They're either on the fence or they've made the decision that they do not want to have kids um, and so I think that's part of it and the other part of it is like it's weird because I so my my kids did not really clean up well before they went to their dads on sunday and
Starting point is 00:27:33 Luxe's shoe was in the hallway just like one shoe And I was like, oh my god, I miss my kids so much like I can't wait for them to come home And so it's like this weird Like the weeks that I don't have my kids like I get to kind of live that like don't have kids lifestyle But also not because I'm a team mom for football and I still do other things But I don't know it's just like this like weird I don't know how to explain it because if I didn't have kids I wouldn't be wearing that right now and I love my kids to pieces. I literally don't like I've said
Starting point is 00:28:04 Before I don't know what my purpose of life is without my kids But also when I see like two of my group chats one with kristin and alexa and then the other one with like girlfriends and delaware none of them have kids And when the one in delaware my group of girlfriends and delaware like go out and stuff I know they wouldn't care if I came but like also I don't get invited because I have my kids. Does that make sense? Yeah, and I mean I think It's just such a different
Starting point is 00:28:33 life and the path looks so very Different I can say I'm not really jealous of anyone who doesn't Have kids because I thoroughly enjoy Being a mom and like literally the more Jackson is with me The better I feel like I but also
Starting point is 00:28:55 I think it's different to being a mom of one Well, that's what I was going to say next. I think also If I had just one or maybe even just two I I don't want anyone to think that I'm like saying I regret being a mom because I don't regret my kids I don't want that to come Q. I'm like hold on Because this is yeah, this is starting to come off like I don't want my kids or I don't want to be a mom That's not it's just hard as fuck. It's it's very hard and there are sometimes there are pieces of me that miss You know
Starting point is 00:29:26 Just being carefree and being able to do whatever I want because even on my off weeks. I'm still doing things for my children. So um on my off time literally I Just sit and count down the time until He comes back and I know that you've had experience with that with your kids do that like it's nice to have a moment Just to yourself to like be in your own thoughts and to be able to take a shower here in peace and shit in peace like
Starting point is 00:29:55 Do all of those things but then it's like once you've done that it's like, okay Where's my son? Like where? Where's he at? This episode of coffee combos podcast is brought to you by huggy's special delivery diapers We have a lot in common and one of those things as you guys know is that we're both moms And motherhood is such a special thing. We know how overwhelming and exciting it can feel to be a first-time mom So when I was a first-time mom and I moved into my first apartment I have told this story so many times but Isaac had this huge blowout and we didn't have A washer and dryer and so I had to kind of just like pick everything up and then go to the laundry mat the next day
Starting point is 00:30:34 And that was like I think on Christmas Eve or something really close to Christmas And so what you guys need when you have a new when you're a new mom And you have a newborn a support from friends family and even brands and that's why we love huggies They have a new line of special delivery diapers and it's their softest diaper yet They're made with 20 plant-based materials by weight and hypoallergenic. So they're extra soft on baby's gentle skin I think I've posted Luxa skin and creed skin when they were newborns and it was just so hard to find something that actually worked without breaking them out And huggies worked for us. So taking care of your newborn skin is super important
Starting point is 00:31:08 But huggies makes it easy with these diapers. They have 100 percent breathable covers Fast absorbing liners and the stretchy back waistband and wetness indicator. So you'll know exactly what's going on I absolutely love the stretchy back and also the wetness indicator because previously to this Not all diapers had that it was only kind of like the newborn diapers So I love that huggies has that for pretty much all their diapers I make baby's skin health a no-brainer with huggy special delivery diapers. You'll thank us later Huggies, we got you baby. Learn more on huggies.com Kale, I don't know about you, but I've been feeling so drained lately
Starting point is 00:31:43 I don't know if I need to go to the doctor get a checkup Maybe just take some vitamins. I really don't know. But am I the only one feeling like that? So you're not the only one feeling like that But I also just convince everyone to take care of vitamins because I love them. I've been on them for Probably two years now and They're super simple and you can go on anytime to like change your goals, which I really love Actually, Elijah and I are both taking these and every single day we send a picture of our
Starting point is 00:32:13 Open and emptied little packets that they send. I highly recommend care of you Literally just take like a short in-depth quiz about your health and lifestyle And then you get recommendations based on your goals I actually love that and I know like from trips that we've been on I've seen you with the individual packets and I've always been super intrigued because it seems very easy to travel with And just like easy to make sure you're taking everything you need in a day I didn't realize that that was care of Yeah, so it's I love that I don't have to take like a hundred bottles with me when I travel because obviously it takes up time
Starting point is 00:32:44 And weight and space and everything So these are already in like these little pre-packaged packets Yeah, I mean does so does it come with anything that tells you about what you're taking? Yeah, so each shipment will have like a little booklet that'll show you exactly what your individual packs have And why they're recommended so like one for me I don't sleep so I take a vitamin for that and then um, I don't eat enough greens And so that is also in my my packet and I just love it. I'm so excited. I'm obviously now going to try it I have to you influence me to get basically everything so now I'm going to try care of
Starting point is 00:33:20 Um, thanks kale for 50 off of your first care of order go to takecareof.com and enter code coffee 50 For 50 off of your first care of order. You can go to takecareof.com and enter code coffee 50 Um, I would love to hear Kristen's perspective on this from someone who Does not have a child but kind of has children because she kind of mothers us on a daily basis like Just her perspective on it um, so I think that there's just an assumption that comes from Like not having actual physical children that like you're free
Starting point is 00:34:02 and I think that I can speak at least for the people that I know that don't have kids and like Most of us don't have time to do anything because we're like consumed by our jobs and like We that's like our life and we have for children and whatever and like I think there's just an overwhelming assumption that like People who don't have kids aren't As consumed by something as moms are I think it's just very different. I think that yes We might not have like a little person Depending on us for survival, but like we have other things depending on us to go around
Starting point is 00:34:36 birds Yeah, like in my case I have you know, my mom my husband Seven dogs a cat a bird And all of you who are literally like my children Uh, just I think that it just looks a lot different and kind of like Lindsay how you said like you kind of always want what you don't have. I think it's the assumption You want what you assume The other one has but like I say all the time like I would love to trade spots with somebody with kids who likes to like
Starting point is 00:35:09 You know clown me for not having any and be like you do all that I do in a day And I'll do what you do in a day and we're still going to be the same exact kind of tired. Oh, yeah, it's just it's You pick you're tired, right? It's like Kil has an army of children and That in itself just talking about that to me is exhausting and like even though We share so many similarities being moms
Starting point is 00:35:40 I am a mom of one. And so my motherhood looks very different than what Kale's motherhood looks like um and That's okay. Everybody's life is so different and everybody's journey is so different and I think ultimately If I miss anything sometimes I miss like my college self, you know being able to To just sleep in at my stupid little ratty apartment
Starting point is 00:36:10 And wake up and sit on my futon And like fix sandwiches for will and I to go to class and You know My biggest worry was studying for a test and now I look at my life and I'm like, wow That was like really easy street See, but even there you were fixing sandwiches. Like I want to go back to where there was zero responsibility outside of going to school okay, well, I don't know when that life was because
Starting point is 00:36:40 That's never been Like ever like hell. I was I was riding dirty in the streets before I got pregnant with Isaac. So Stop She was out there in the hoopty I was out there in the blue minivan that took one hunter Or some or his brother cousin somebody got from their mom. Like I don't even know um I was riding fucking dirty like staying up till four in the morning and then going to 6am shifts at mcdonald's like she said
Starting point is 00:37:08 I was riding in a hoopty By way, okay, so I was living my life So this is a good little segue into this tick talk that I saw and I feel like this is a controversial topic that People are going to be very committed to one side or the other and I want both of your opinion. So You should choose your relationship over your kids and I'm going to tell you why because it's controversial Now, I'm not saying neglect your kids obviously be the best Fucking parent you can be 100 but if you prioritize your kids all the time and your relationship fails
Starting point is 00:37:42 Guess what happens then then you only see your kids 50% of the fucking time. Who's the fucking winner then? Nobody everybody loses your relationship is extremely important for the kids The best thing you will ever give your kids is a 10 out of 10 relationship That's that only applies to me That only applies to like the father of your children or the partner that you created the children with because If you're in a stepdad situation or a stepmom situation, that's not I'm choosing my kids over any stepparent that ever comes into my kids life lives I'm just going to be clear that I'm choosing my kid
Starting point is 00:38:20 over anything period like You give me scenarios and I'm like my kid my kid my kid um, but I will say I think that had I invested more time in my relationship and allowed Jackson to invest
Starting point is 00:38:42 time in relationships with like his grandparents and me not be such like a helicopter mom like needing him to be with me 24 7 and in a sense by doing that I was neglecting parts of My relationship that caused so many issues I don't want to say that the situation now would be different because I think that everything happens For a reason the way that it happens
Starting point is 00:39:11 Um, but I will say I think that we wouldn't have had certain problems had I invested more in my relationship and prioritized um That because I do think it's super important to prioritize your relationship for your kids to be able to have a strong example of something that looks healthy yeah, well and That goes to like step parents like obviously you want to work towards a healthy relationship and showing your kids a healthy relationship, but I think as far as like
Starting point is 00:39:42 Choosing your relationship over your kids to me would only apply to the biological parent Agreed. Yeah. I mean, I would just love to know what other people think and if you find yourself sometimes neglecting your relationship for your kids, um I've always heard people say, you know, the only wisdom that I can give you is To really invest time in your relationship because when your kids are grown and they're gone
Starting point is 00:40:12 That's all you're going to have left and they certainly aren't going to be wondering what you're doing when they're at a college football tailgate and you're at home Sitting by yourself having nothing in common with your spouse because you haven't invested any time in that Right. No, I get that. Um, wait quickly. Did you because I don't know what time you're getting getting off here But did you watch I just killed my dad? No, but I have plans to watch it. Honestly. I couldn't wait I have to we have to share the
Starting point is 00:40:46 screenshot of our group chat of where I said that we need to watch that and I think that kale legitimately thought I killed my dad Yes, I did. I was like, um, what like I had No idea what the fuck you were talking about and I was very nervous. Okay. First of all I feel like I'm pretty versed in true crime. Yeah, and I wouldn't be sending a text that I just killed somebody in a group chat, right? Um, right just as an fyi, but no, I have not watched it With the emotional state and the things I'm going through I have not watched any tv and I certainly don't need to be watching something titled. I just killed my dad
Starting point is 00:41:26 Um, but I do plan to watch it throughout this week so that we can cover it next week there's been a ton of chatter going on in the Facebook page that I've seen about that and people wanting us to cover it. So I'm excited to watch it anything that uh, you would like to share about that before I hop off No, it's three episodes and Um, the the end of the first episode will leave you like what the fuck and so you'll have to immediately go You'll have to like just binge it like it won't even be Probably like I watched one episode and then two and then three because of my you know my kids and stuff
Starting point is 00:42:06 But um, if you have the time Just watch it straight through. I absolutely will. Um, also, I just wanted to say before I go about my merry way Um, I'm gonna get in the shower and maybe cry but I think that it's so important to share that when you find yourself um
Starting point is 00:42:32 struggling or in an emotional state and like going through things that You know, it's very hard to have the desire and the want to Show up for all of your obligations in life, right? Like I want to show up for this community and I want to show up for this other antique community and I want to show up as a mother and as a daughter and as a friend
Starting point is 00:42:58 um, and I think sometimes You have to take a little step back and give yourself the time that you need to be able to To process whatever it is that you're going through so that you can actually show up properly to those other occasions um, and when you're not focusing on your mental health and Your emotional state, I think that if I'm just showing up But I'm not showing up in a way that I need to show up that I need to Check myself. Does that make sense?
Starting point is 00:43:32 Yeah, I definitely think that makes sense and I think that You know the best thing for you to do and and you have to do it I love that. Well, I love you guys. Um, I'm gonna let Kristen step in And I will be back with everybody next week. I'm sad that I'm going to miss the foul play on jacking off in a jar And I hope that you guys all Have a great week and also outside of having a great week.

It was your foul play Okay You do okay fine. You know what this will this will give me a good laugh
Starting point is 00:46:18 This is a not safe for work foul play as if any of them are safe for work Um I saw this Scrolling I'm pretty sure someone sent me this on twitter. Is that right christen? Is that yes, ma'am you immediately send it to me Yeah, someone found that it was like necessary to send me Um about This person jacking off in a jar. So this is what it says
Starting point is 00:46:47 I found a jar that my husband has been ejaculating in and I threw it away. He got very upset with me So i'm a woman in my 30s I made a throwaway because I don't want this tied to my main account at all Yesterday our garbage disposal stopped working and I was trying to see why so I was looking around under the sink And I moved stuff out To get to be able to look around more easily and the very back tucked away was a mason jar No, that I thought was just over halfway full of kitchen grease at first I'm getting off, but I realized that it wasn't grease. I thought it looked like semen
Starting point is 00:47:27 I made a mistake of opening it and by the smell. I knew that it was definitely semen I couldn't believe what I was seeing disgusted threw it away in the dumpster outside It had to have been my husband's, but I don't know why he would save a semen Are these how long does semen last when you like save it like that like as though are those lives I think when it hits air It's done. No, I don't think that's true. I'm googling how long is Seamen good for outside the body. Okay, and why was this underneath underneath the fucking kitchen sink like
Starting point is 00:48:03 It's like you're scrolling through your Shit under your kitchen sink and it's like, okay. I've reached the dawn like there is You know some Cascade and then a jackoff jar Okay, it says that they live from 15 to 30 minutes outside the body But if it's on a like dry surface like table or clothes or table Um, then it'll die as soon as it dries up. Ew. Uh
Starting point is 00:48:32 So I'm disgusted because no, let me finish. Yeah, please do my husband got home and I asked him about it He seemed very embarrassed and confessed that it was indeed a jar full of semen He was filling for almost a year. I was shocked and asked him why he said whenever it was My time of the month or I wasn't in the mood. He jerk off into the jar after I went to bed I asked him why not go to the toilet and use a tissue or a shower or something Why a fucking jar he couldn't answer that other than saying he has been doing this since he was a kid What I told him I want him to stop using a jar because it's disgusting And he told me that he didn't want to and ask where the jar was
Starting point is 00:49:14 um, so he's he has some type of like Like he gets something from collecting his own semen like maybe it's like the amount like this is a fetish Yeah, this is a fetish because if he's going to get upset about where the jar is He has he wants to see how much is coming out or something like this is like a complex a fetish some sort of mental illness I So I told him I threw it away and he was upset. He said it took him a long time to fill the jar that much And now he has to start over we argued about him using a jar To store old jizen. I still don't understand why he wants to fill the jar for fuck's sake
Starting point is 00:49:52 We argued about it and during the argument He opened the refrigerator took a large jar of pickles and dumped it out and started rinsing it out And I said And said this is the cum jar now before I knew it I'm literally screaming at my husband about coming in jars and told him he can either come in me or the jar But not both he clutched the jar and stormed off in the bathroom. I was literally speechless I sat down started trying to watch tv Take my mind off of it when he came out and joined me and tried to patch things up
Starting point is 00:50:20 I asked him where he had the jar and he wouldn't fucking tell me He told me that we should just forget about the fight. He apologized to me told me that he would make sure I didn't have to see the jar if I didn't want to I wanted us to stop fighting So I agreed we didn't speak about it for the rest of the night. He fell asleep early But I laid in bed for over an hour thinking about the fucking jar I don't understand why he is so intent on doing something so disgusting and I'm still angry about it. First of all like I have no words I just texted Elijah and I said would you jizz in a jar and then keep the jar to jerk off in overtime
Starting point is 00:50:54 And he read it and has not responded. So so I just gave an update. She gave an update She sent her own fucking update She said that when she got home, they sat down and talked and after a lot of prying She got him to come clean with why he comes in a jar and why it's in the kitchen I also need to know why it's in the kitchen. Like not that it's acceptable that you are literally busting loads in a jar But like why is it in the sink? I mean, why is it under the sink? He gets very excited when I eat his cum and what he makes wait wait wait wait wait Oh my god, this just took a fucking turn
Starting point is 00:51:33 Oh my God, no, he's been cooking with it. He gets very excited when I eat his cum and he makes pancakes every weekend for breakfast and he mixes the cum in the pancake batter and gets off on me eating it without my knowledge or consent. I would kill him. You would see my mug shot everywhere because that has to be a fucking felony. This is a crime. He has been doing this regularly for our entire marriage.
Starting point is 00:52:04 He mixes his cum and other things that I've eaten and drank and I have of course swallowed his cum before but this is different because he did it without me knowing. I honestly couldn't yell at him or even say anything. I fell numb. I just got up, started throwing shit in a bag while he tried to talk me down and stop. I ended up leaving with some bare essentials and told him that I need space and we'll reach out to him when I'm ready. I'm taking some time off work and he'll at a friend's house for a few days.
Starting point is 00:52:29 No. First of all. This isn't real. I think she's making this up. There's no way this is real. There's no way a human being is doing this and I feel so fucking bad for her because Kristen, is that not a felony, bodily fluids and if it's not a sexual act that you're consensual, it has to be a felony.
Starting point is 00:52:49 I would think that it would be a felony and if it's not, it definitely needs to be because if you spit on someone, that's a felony. If you're putting, come in their food without their knowledge, come in their pancakes. Come in there. Oh my God. If I'm not mistaken, totally plot twist here. Not even talking about this. There was a situation at an Olive Garden one time that was posted out online.
Starting point is 00:53:13 I don't know if it's real. I don't know if it's fake. This woman took leftovers home from Olive Garden, ate them, got sick. They tested it and found three different guys, sperm in it. And I think everybody got in trouble legally from what I read. I don't know if it's real. Again, this was all legit. So one time my dad told me a story about how, and I don't know if he saw this on the news
Starting point is 00:53:36 or if he made this up, but he told me that it, oh my God, I'm going to throw up thinking about this. And this is why I literally don't eat jelly-filled donuts, that like, I think it was some story about some man jerking off in jelly-filled donuts. I feel like I heard that too. And like what, like, I don't get it. Like I don't get it. First of all, if anyone ever put cum in my fucking pancakes, no.
Starting point is 00:54:04 Like it's for sure going to be a fucking crime scene. You would see my mugshot everywhere and I would smile in it because you're not about to feed me, you're cum, and then think you're going to fucking get away with it and not only get away with it, but probably get off on it. I hope she divorced him because that is so foul. That is so foul. That's serial killer vibes. Yes.
Starting point is 00:54:25 Listen, what would you do if this happened to you? Oh, I would go straight to fucking prison. Like what do you mean? I would be in jail. Well, no, legitimate prison. Like catch me in B block. I'm out. Stop.
Starting point is 00:54:39 Like, could you imagine, like literally if I, if I found a jar of something that looked like fucking kitchen grease and discovered that it was cum, and not only was this under my fucking kitchen sink next to my dorm, but like this is being pulled out on the weekends where someone's pretending like they're being nice to me, making pancakes and sitting there literally getting off to the fact that they just like busted a nut in the batter. Like, I just want to know how long it was being like that can't be like that can't be good for your system to be eating like old semen. That's so fucking foul.
Starting point is 00:55:20 Like, I hate you guys. Bye. Like, I'm literally getting off. Like, bye. Like, bye. A few moments later, I'm so disgusted with Lindsay had to leave the building on that note. She's like, I'm out. That took a turn that I was not prepared for.
Starting point is 00:55:38 Like if we're just coming in a jar for some weird like ego trip or something like, okay, I think we could get through, but like I need to know how he admitted that he was putting it in food. So I'm going to need an update on that. But can we not talk about this anymore because I'm so disturbed. I'm very disturbed. I'm, yeah, yikes. So I have a question for you actually that people were asking in the coffee compost group
Starting point is 00:56:11 and a bunch of other groups, where besides the sill, do you get plants? I get them from Etsy, Lowe's, mainly the sill also I there's an Instagram shop that I can hold on. Let me see. Is it the bros with hose? Yes. People already found that one. Okay.
Starting point is 00:56:34 Okay. I thought so. You just get them everywhere. Now I know what all the charges are. Well, bros with hose is really great. Actually, they have really good quality. So if you're going to look, if you're going to look online, the sill is good. Also there's a couple, where's the one that Eli sent me those plants from?
Starting point is 00:56:52 Oh, I'll have to ask him. I don't remember off the top of my head, but I'll have to ask him because they were nice. They were more on the expensive side, but I was gifted some plants by my company, which was probably one of my favorite gifts. Kristen and Eli both sent me gifts of plants and they were my favorite. So yeah, the sill bros with hose and they ship. So that's what's cool. But I've also gotten them off Etsy.
Starting point is 00:57:18 Yeah. Okay. That answers that because everyone keeps asking and I'm like, I know the sill. I don't know anywhere else. I'm sure you'll find new places for, you're probably always looking. I do always look. And, but right now I'm on the hunt for a crystal shelf and I don't want one that's like a shape and I don't like, you know how they have like the moon phases of shelves or like triangles
Starting point is 00:57:46 or things like that. I kind of just want like a traditional shelf that I can display my crystals and not even display them because if anyone else is on here, that's like listening, I don't put my crystals in places that like people can touch them because it kind of like, what is the word that I'm looking for it like, like taints the energy. Yes. And so I do not display them where people can touch them and I don't want people to touch them.
Starting point is 00:58:14 So when people ask, oh, can we see your crystal collection? I just don't have like a display yet. So I'm looking for a shelf that's just like a regular traditional shape and not like a triangle or. I think you're going to have to go custom. Yeah, you're going to have to hit that last night. You know what? They did my plant shelf and they did a fantastic job.
Starting point is 00:58:34 So I think you might be right. We love them. We do love them. So if you're looking for custom pieces or anything like that, go to hill build it creations on Instagram because you will love them. All right, let's tell everyone about the game that we can't stop playing and we've been talking about for a million years on this podcast. We Lindsay and I got Kristen hooked on best fiends.
Starting point is 00:58:58 I definitely have now been hooked. I sad to say because now it takes his attention away from me, but I got Corey hooked as well. So now everybody in my house is playing best fiends and it's literally your fault. Sorry, I don't mean to. I don't mean to add more distraction, but why be content with having enough when you can have more best fiends always satisfies your need for more. It's like puzzle games. It's more me time, you know, um, and I can, you can literally make it to a thousand level
Starting point is 00:59:31 a thousand and best fiends if you have the time. And I think I'm over that level at this point. So it's true satisfaction. I think I'm now at level like 350. I actually have to check and see what level Corey's at because I need to never be behind him. I've been playing it longer. So that's literally only fair.
Starting point is 00:59:50 I just love that it's something that you can do just like in a little bit of free time when you just want time for just yourself and we always have our phones. So it's the perfect app. So once you download best fiends, you can literally play anywhere without the internet, which is really nice, especially because my internet is not always working and you can collect tons of fiends that get powered up as you play more levels and everyone brings a new challenge. There's thousands of puzzles and with my memory, I need this because it just helps me stay
Starting point is 01:00:18 sharp. Stop is never going to be enough. Let that be your mantra and download best fiends for free from the app store or Google Play. Plus you can earn even more with $5 worth of in-game rewards when you reach level five. That's friends without the R best fiends. Hey guys, it's your girl V Rivera back again with a brand new podcast. This time it's with my lifelong friend, me on Sandra Gonzalez.
Starting point is 01:00:42 And this is buy them and kind of drive in podcast tune in every Monday to hear all about our victories, our failures. You can't forget about the bull chain chain. That's gossip in Spanish in case you didn't know. So come vibe with us and be a part of this beautiful and kind of thrive in sisterhood. Follow us on Instagram at vibin and kind of thrive in. We'll catch you on Mondays. Okay, so people on the coffee combos group said that they wanted to start a segment of
Starting point is 01:01:09 like. Called Ask Kristin. Ask Kristin. That's a Kristin question. To ask me stuff, to give me scenarios, to give, I guess, advice on. I don't know why, but I'm flattered. So I'm going through the thread right now to see if there's anything like, okay, someone said, how did you get into being an assistant, like, learning, know how to do everything?
Starting point is 01:01:31 Who are the people you do it for outside of Lindsay and Kale? What do they do? Okay. So how did I get into being an assistant? Kristin is just like oddly knowledgeable about so many fucking things. It's like really bizarre because I've only met two people like this in my entire life and it's Kristin and Tony. And she, Kristin was just like helping me with regular everyday shit.
Starting point is 01:01:55 Like when we were like friends and then I was like, you know what? Like you, this should be, you should get paid for this because you're like, it's kind of like what we talked about on one of the last podcast was like, at what point do you start like charging people for your knowledge, like for your expertise and like, I don't know. Kristin just has like a way of like figuring things out, like she's figured out things faster than anybody I know. So I don't know how you do it, but then I was just like, okay, Kristin needs to be paid for this.
Starting point is 01:02:23 So then when we started the podcast and stuff, then she started doing podcast stuff and then I'm, I don't know if I'm allowed to say like who else you do it for, but I recommended her to Lindsay and somebody else and I, and they hired her because she really does know what the fuck she's doing. Well, I appreciate it. Yeah. I kind of just feel like it just evolved over time. I don't know how I know stuff.
Starting point is 01:02:48 Like I feel like I know very unimportant stuff, but like geography, not my specialty at all. Like one time Kristin thought I needed a passport to go to Hawaii and then I was highly concerned about her position with me and the company and I'm just kidding. I did not. I did not question that. I was just like, Kristin, I don't need a passport to get to Hawaii. Listen, I was more concerned about you not having a current passport. I think that's where I got stuck.
Starting point is 01:03:13 Okay. Fair enough. Fair enough. However, yeah, like I just know, I feel like a bunch of useless information that somehow becomes useful at random points in time. Before all the podcast slash financial work you're doing now, what did you go to school for and what had you hoped your direction to be job life location? Okay.
Starting point is 01:03:34 So I went to school originally for political science and strategic communications and public relations. So I wanted to run campaigns like political campaigns for a living and then kind of got discouraged out of that once I was told by a campaign manager that nobody would hire me until I was way older because of Monica Lewinsky. Which is a bunch of bullshit. So I was super defeated. And then my dad ended up passing away and I stayed home with my mom and went back to
Starting point is 01:04:06 school just for advertising PR and strategic communications. So like marketing, public relations, all that kind of stuff is what I went to school for. And I always wanted to move from Pennsylvania to South Carolina where I went to college originally. So maybe one day I'll get there, but for now I'm still in Pennsylvania and like always wanted to be married. So I did that when I was 23. She got married.
Starting point is 01:04:37 I got divorced. Yeah. The same day. It worked out perfect. Yeah. And then, okay. So I'm seeing a lot of budget and finance things. I don't think that could be covered in like a tiny segment.
Starting point is 01:04:49 That's like an ongoing situation, but what I can say is someone's in there mentioning cash envelopes. I don't do that. It's just not realistic. I don't recommend doing that to anybody that I help because if you're not already using cash, it just becomes an additional step to like take cash out and stuff like that. That would have to be, yeah, that would have to be for someone who already uses cash.
Starting point is 01:05:10 Yeah. I just, I don't think it's realistic, but the biggest thing that I can say for everybody to start off is start keeping track of what you're actually spending money on without like lying. Like, you know how Kale, you and I all use like my fitness pound will lie. Like we'll have like a snack and not put it in. I'll have like three right Reese's cups and I won't put that in. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:32 So it's the same thing with like starting to learn how to budget. You have to understand where your money's going to even be able to start a budget first. In my opinion, that's just how I work it. So like start keeping track of where you're actually spending your money over a period of like a month. I would say is like a good, if you want to go a little bit longer, you could. Even the little stuff because the little things are actually what adds up more so than the big bills.
Starting point is 01:05:54 Right. Kale knows. Yeah. When I learned how much I was spending in fast food, I was like, oh shit, I need to slow the fuck down. Yeah. So you're doing really well now, but that's like my first, my first tip. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:08 Maybe I'll, maybe I'll just like add a tip in every few weeks. Yeah. That would be definitely. No, I love that idea because then people could, it gives people time like, okay, I tracked for a month now. What? Yeah. So definitely just like keep track, whether it's like an Excel spreadsheet, Google Doc,
Starting point is 01:06:24 if you want to literally paper and pencil, whatever works better for you. Just keep, like, see where your money's going now and it's like such a good time to start, I feel like. Especially now because of fucking inflation. Inflation, recession, all that good stuff. I'll do one more. Someone said, how do you handle being pulled in so many directions? How do you regenerate and relax on your free time?
Starting point is 01:06:50 I ghost everyone in my life to regenerate. I used to work like, and I still do sometimes work on the weekends, but there's times where like, I just know myself and I know that I need to, you know, turn everything and everybody off. That's how I regenerate the best. I actually get very exhausted by people. So working with a bunch of people every day can get super exhausting and sometimes obviously get burnt out.
Starting point is 01:07:18 So I'll take the weekend. I won't answer my phone or if I do, yeah, if I do, it's super rare and I'll just do something that I want to do, whether it's just like hanging out with the dogs, clean, organize, just like try to get my space right, which helps like my mental health or like Corey and I will do something fun. If he's off from work and doesn't have to go in. So yeah, I mean, it's probably not healthy that I just like turn everybody and everything off.
Starting point is 01:07:45 But no, that's, that's okay. That's okay for you to do. I feel like everyone that's in my life now understands that's my process and now everybody knows that I'm not mad. I think in the beginning everybody was like, wait, where did Kristin go? I would think that she was mad at me. She wasn't talking to me. But now I literally, you just know.
Starting point is 01:08:04 I just know. Yeah. Cause it's just like, um, and like obviously if it's important, I'll answer. If it's what I don't deem to be important, then you probably won't hear from me, but cause I have these little children who think that some things are emergencies that aren't actually emergencies, they're just like, you know, regular everyday shit. But that's kind of how I do it and handling getting pulled in different directions. I operate off of a giant to do list, um, that I start, I try to start it on Mondays, um,
Starting point is 01:08:36 and then usually about Wednesday, what I had down on the to do list first, what became the to do list is very, very different. Um, and you just kind of have to like go, go with the flow and not take everything personal. Cause I used to struggle with that really hard. And Kale knows that. Like I used to take everything so personally, like I just put all this time and work into like doing these things and that's not what really needed to get done. And like it's not personal.
Starting point is 01:09:01 It's literally just a job at the end of the day. It's not life or death. Um, and yeah, that's kind of, that's kind of how I go. But yay. Those are my, that was the Ask Kristin segment. I love that. And if you guys have any more questions, we will do, we could do this more often. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:17 Leave me scenarios, whatever. Hold our lives together. I try. I try. You're again, like my little children. So I'm the oldest. It's we, I'm the youngest of everybody. I'm the most mature.
Starting point is 01:09:28 No, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm not the oldest. Lindsay's the oldest. I'm the youngest out of everyone and I keep everyone's shit together been my whole life. So I get it. Um, but yeah, on that note, Kale, what else do you have going on this week? Um, well, I have football practice tonight, tomorrow, Thursday, and then, um, Friday I'll
Starting point is 01:09:47 be recording as always. I'm going on Violet Benson's podcast today. We're recording that. Um, that's exciting. That's called almost adulting. Almost adulting. Yes. Almost.
Starting point is 01:10:00 So I'll be on that. And then, um, football practice, like I said, and then Saturday, I think I have nothing for once. And then Sunday we're at the playoffs for basketball with Lincoln. So, um, sports, sports, yeah, even in your off week, even in my off week, I'm at sports. I even had like moms text me from football and they're like, Hey, will you be at practice? I have paperwork for you. And it's like, Oh, I'll be there.
Starting point is 01:10:23 I will definitely be there. Like I, it's crazy because even if I think I don't have to go, like I do have to be there. So I feel like you love it though. I think I do. I do. The only thing I don't like is like, for some reason I've been having crazy rib pain on my right, on my right side. And I think it's from like sitting on like bleachers and not having back support.
Starting point is 01:10:42 You have to get the bleachers seat. Yeah. And thankfully at football, I can sit in like my chairs and not in bleachers. So I'm hoping that, um, that'll help. But yeah, other than that, I'm, I'll just be chilling probably at home outside of sports and podcasting, but I'm basically podcasting all week. So yeah. Cause then you're doing an interview on Barely Famous.
Starting point is 01:11:02 Oh shit. Yeah. Is that Jade? Yes. Yeah. Jade's going to come on. If you guys follow Jade on, um, Jade Amber, Jade Amber on Tik Tok, um, she has a little sun named Prince and they're so cute and she'll be on Barely Famous.
Starting point is 01:11:15 So I'm excited for that. And, um, but yeah, so I hope to, um, just have a productive week and I hope you have a productive week, Kristen. Always, always. What are you, let's tell everybody what you're binge watching right now. I'm binge watching Grey's Anatomy. She's still. Finally.
Starting point is 01:11:33 Um, I'm on season nine and I absolutely just like love it and, um, what else am I watching? That's really it. I always ask what you're watching. Yeah. So at night, but when I'm about to fall asleep, I switch it to a show that I've already seen a hundred times, which right now I switch it to save by the bell. So because I was falling asleep to Grey's Anatomy and I would miss so much. So then I just thought I'd like know when I'm about to fall asleep and then I switch
Starting point is 01:11:58 it to save by the bell. Remember at 51, well you did it at your first house in Delaware too, but remember at 51 before we would both go to bed, you'd be like, before you go to sleep, can you turn it to something not scary because we would literally watch ID channel until you went to bed. And then you'd be like, can you put on like, Nick at night, like please put on something happy. I don't want to have nightmares.
Starting point is 01:12:21 And I'm like, you don't want the TV off and you're like, absolutely not too quiet. I need, I need background noise at all times. Love that. Okay. Well, I'm going to go back to work. You have such a great week. Okay. And I will talk to you in a few minutes.
