Starting point is 00:03:01 Part 1. Behind the scenes with a member of the show. Happy Saturday, everyone. Joining me to speak in on Best Fits is Amy. How are you, Amy? Hello. Excited to be here. Catch up on all things going on in your life.
Starting point is 00:03:17 Well, we're going to start with the one thing that I was getting so many questions about, and it is both of our boyfriends. Oh, okay. And I do have a few specific questions. Okay. And these are from listeners. These are not me. I'll have my questions after.
Starting point is 00:03:31 Okay, perfect. Because this is not the question part, but when there's so many of one thing, I reserve it for a space where we can just talk all about that. So, most attractive thing about your new boyfriends to you guys. This is coming from Kate. Oh, gosh, there's several things, but I do like that he's tall. He's six three. Oh, okay. Oh, we went physical.
Starting point is 00:03:51 Okay. Oh, yep. Yeah. But also, he's kind. All right. We got tall and kind. Yeah. He's a great dad.
Starting point is 00:04:01 Okay. These are good things. I would say mine is that he is, his love language is acts of service and I love it. Oh. So what's yours? My giving one is acts of service. My, sorry, my receiving one is acts of service. Okay.
Starting point is 00:04:24 My giving one? I don't know that I have a specific one. I try and show up in a lot of them. but maybe more than anything, it's quality time. I like to make sure that I give a lot of quality time, but I also love acts of service, giving and receiving. Has always been, but he's very big in that and he's very consistent, which are two qualities that are kind of hard to find.
Starting point is 00:04:46 Yeah, I would say consistent is a good one. Like, he's very stable and consistent to my, so that is attractive. Consistency is sexy. That has been a thing that we've talked about on my podcast. That is a trait that we love. And physically, I mean, he has very nice muscles. Oh. Yes.
Starting point is 00:05:10 Yeah. I saw that picture. Yeah. He does look like Thor a little bit. And he's also, I don't know, he's just tall, dark, and handsome. I would say we're going to the physical route. Oh, did you just say Thor? Yeah, because the guys all reference Thor.
Starting point is 00:05:24 Yeah. They all call them Thor. I forgot that I put up a little question box, too. I know this is your I was like so just now I was like pulling up did they come in through yours well I I put I overlaid a question box on top of your question box because if I if I you know if I do yours they click on your page and just in case they didn't which I want them to but if they clicked if they clicked the question box then maybe they could just ask right away so yeah and you're right there's lots of there's lots of boyfriend questions there's lots of boyfriend questions okay
Starting point is 00:05:54 well do here I'll ask this up this is the only other specific one I had that came from it A lot of them was just like talk about your boyfriends. How does he feel about sharing on the podcast, including his name? Okay. He is okay with it. That's so funny because I just read a question here. Is Amy's boyfriend okay with Amy talking about him? That's from Julie in Kansas.
Starting point is 00:06:18 He is okay with it. Yeah. I would assume that you probably had that conversation and you guys have talked about things. Much like both you and I have discussed, we always ask for. it's not necessarily an approval, but just like the communication is there. We're not openly going to share something without. Are you okay if I say this? And that's with any of our friendships or relationships. I think we've learned sometimes. Although sometimes stuff will just organically come up and I'm like, oh, this is a good story. And I have to pause. You're like, oh, I haven't I haven't asked if I can share this yet. So I'll have to wait. Or sometimes it just comes out and then you ask for forgiveness. Yes. But more often than not, we are asking. for be like, hey, you good with this? We're not, guys, we're not stupid. We're not openly just talking about other people's lives without having some version of a reality outside of this job.
Starting point is 00:07:09 Yeah, but just be, I get the curiosity behind it because to be kind of thrown into dating somebody that talks about their life on. Yeah. It's like, oh, how do they really feel about it? And he was pretty okay with it from the get-go. I mean, he's not eager to, like, come on and talk. Like, he doesn't want to be on the show. Will he ever be a guest on your podcast? I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:07:36 Okay. But that may change. I just know right now, no, he doesn't have any interest in that, which I'm okay with. Yeah. And you guys hard launched. Well, you hard launched a picture of you guys on Instagram. I did. How did that feel?
Starting point is 00:07:51 It felt good, but we had been in Charleston. I posted the picture. that you're talking about we took in Charleston, which I think was two weeks before I posted it. So I didn't really post that much while we were in Charleston. And I didn't really post much of our trip anyway. But I had that picture and I just thought it was sweet and cute. And I thought, well, I guess I'll make this the cover shot for the month of April. After you posted it, was there any like second hand where you're like, oh, maybe I shouldn't have?
Starting point is 00:08:25 Or were you just like, yes, this feels good. No, it felt good. My ex-husband, Ben, he did say something to me later. Because I think he saw it like a week, like, because he doesn't spend a lot of time on Instagram or anything, but he does have an account. Well, he has a work one, but then he has this other account where he posts nothing, but our daughter is on Instagram and he follows her and he uses it to keep up with certain things.
Starting point is 00:08:48 And he said, oh, hey, I didn't know we were posting like our, people. I think that what he's referring to is way back whenever maybe we were first getting divorced or something or maybe even we were still married but someone we knew had gotten divorced
Starting point is 00:09:09 and they were just in a new relationship and putting it all over social media. And he said that okay now that I'm thinking this through, I didn't plan on talking about this but I don't need to ask Ben's permission because I know that he'd be fine with me telling this story. But now that I think about it, We definitely were still married because it was a couple we knew that got divorced. And then the husband was like posting all these pictures of him and his new person.
Starting point is 00:09:36 And I just was like, it just was cringy. It felt weird. And I said to him, I was like, this could never be us. And maybe that's a little foreshadowing there because I don't know at the time that I knew we would end up getting divorced. But I'm like, oh my gosh, if we were to ever be in this situation, like we cannot do that. and I guess he held on to that because then he said something to me. He's like, I thought we weren't supposed to be those people where we're like posting all this stuff. And I said, I don't really feel like that was posting all that stuff.
Starting point is 00:10:03 Now that I know what you're referring to, we were, that was, it was just like very much in our face like everywhere. And it was a shady situation. I said, I think all the variables are very, very different. And I posted a picture of us. And so he's like, oh, okay, good. to know. I was like, all right. Not that he has social media that he uses, but I guess if he wanted to and he were to post him and who he's dating. Because he had a girlfriend for a year, but they broke up. But they didn't, he didn't, he didn't ever post about her. It's so interesting to me just hearing how much you're navigating in these new waters of having a boyfriend, you have your ex-husband, all these just kind of pieces and balancing things that you're doing. Does that, do you ever think about that? no i think we're just doing yeah but yeah looking at it all sometimes it can feel like a lot if i focus on it but no it's just like oh we gotta navigate this i know ben and i have been exchanging like 500
Starting point is 00:11:04 texts and emails trying to figure out our summer schedule because with different travel and camps that the kids have and different things we can't stick with our typical uh Friday to Friday which is what we do are week on week off because he'll he's like oh i want to take the kids to do this this week. And I'm like, well, this is when we have show vacation and I would like to take the kids here, but that happens to be a week that he's supposed to have them. So there's just a lot of coordinating that has to happen. And that's when it makes me thankful that Ben and I are in such a healthy place because I would imagine if we weren't, that would just make stuff like this. It's already grueling, just trying to like Tetra sometimes, making it all work. But if you add in a layer
Starting point is 00:11:48 of disdain and disgust and you know how some people really feel about and having to work with an X. Oh man, that would be painful. So I have a level of gratitude for where we are and how we navigate it. So yeah, it's not as much as it could be. You know what I mean? Yeah, no, I totally hear that. And it's making me think to just, I think it's harder probably for you to see in that moment.
Starting point is 00:12:16 but I'm just sitting here and a lot of respect for you that you're going through just a lot of different changes and phases all at the same time and learning constantly while it's all happening. Yeah, they met, Ben met Alex for the first time. How did it go? It was really good. It happened organically and he stopped by the house after Stasheera's birthday and Alex didn't go to the birthday party. He was invited by Stasheera. And he was like, look, Ben and I haven't met yet. I don't want that to steal any of the spotlight.
Starting point is 00:12:51 So I'll just stop by the house after. And then Ben and I sat by each other at dinner. And we were talking and I said, you know, I rode here with your parents because his parents were in town and they wanted to come over and hang out with me. So then I just rode with them to dinner. I said, they're going to drop me off. So they're going to be there. So I bet they'll meet Alex. So why don't you stop by and meet him too?
Starting point is 00:13:08 Let's just rip this bandaid off because I've been waiting for it to happen. And it hadn't happened yet. And I just thought maybe now's a good time. And then Ben said, okay. So it's a little awkward, though, because Ben always comes through the back door. He won't just walk in, but he always parks in the back and comes through the porch. And this time, we're all inside. His parents are there.
Starting point is 00:13:30 Alex is there. The kids are there. And Ben Parks goes to the front door. Knox. He can see us all through the window. So you'd think he would just be like, hey, walk in. So knocks. Everything just seemed very formal.
Starting point is 00:13:43 And then he comes in and he sticks his hand out and he goes to meet Alex and they both shake and they do first and last name real firm grip and just clear like, you know, be like. Yeah. Are you holding your breath in that moment just kind of like. No, just like watching it happen. And my friend Kat was there and I was looking at her and I was like, what is happening right now? Why are they both acting so weird, you know? But it is better to be formal than informal, I suppose, in a situation like that. to be like walking through my front door and then making a beeline and being like Amy Brown. Nice to meet you. And then you'd be like Morgan Heelsman.
Starting point is 00:14:18 And so, yeah, it was good though. I feel relief. And that was one of my feelings on my podcast this week with Therapy Cat. The cat that was at my house that night, she's my friend also Cat, but she's cryocat. But Therapy Cat and I talked about it on the podcast because we have a feeling of the day on our Feeling Things podcast. And my feeling was relief that that. finally happened and I can like exhale and it went it went well and so I want to I want to celebrate that and and soak it up and and I look for more um interactions bin had told me at one point early on
Starting point is 00:14:54 divorce that I had this fantasy in my head that maybe whoever we ended up dating next or being with in the future that we would all take family vacations together okay and he thought I was in la la land And I will say in the relationship he was in for that year, that was definitely a lot of land statement. That would not have happened. That just would not. And I can understand that I can understand if some people feel that way. Like there's separation. You don't want to have a relationship with that person.
Starting point is 00:15:25 Okay. But Ben and I share kids. And we've known each other since we were kids. And I think our dynamic is just different than a lot of other relationships. And I don't know. I'm starting to think like, oh, we could be like, I don't know that that would really, really happen, but we're closer to it. It doesn't seem like so crazy right now.
Starting point is 00:15:49 If Ben were to be in a relationship and then we all were decided to like all go hang out and take the kids and do something. Well, and I don't feel like it's as weird because even listening to you talk about it, you already have an interesting dynamic in the fact that you're really close to Ben's parents. That's an important thing for you. because of so many different life events. They've been involved in your life since you were very young. They're around a lot.
Starting point is 00:16:14 His ex-wife or his, how do you say, widowed his wife? Oh, my boyfriend? Yes. Oh, so his wife. His in-laws. He has a father-in-law. Yes. I was going to say that I would imagine is involved.
Starting point is 00:16:31 Yeah, I've met him. I've met him a couple times. Because he would want them close to them. So you have some interesting dynamics happening here that you guys are all being very mature and understanding and connecting on that I don't think this idea that you have is really that far-fetched. Yeah, no. Because a lot of people could handle those dynamics and you guys are handling multiple dynamics. I wouldn't say my situation with Alex, I'm handling it perfectly. But I'm trying.
Starting point is 00:17:04 and I had no issues meeting her dad and her twin sister and her best friends. I've met them all. And because it's like she, there's, that would not be happening if they had got divorced. If they had been divorced and she was still alive, like obviously I'm probably not going to meet her best friends. But they're all in a place where they knew before she passed away. She said, I want Alex to meet somebody, make sure that that happens sort of thing. So her best friends are giddy over the moon that Alex has met somebody and he's dating somebody. They're like, oh, gosh, you know.
Starting point is 00:17:39 And it's got to be hard for them because, yeah, their best friend passed away. They also know part of something she shared when she was dying was, I hope he meets somebody. And now they're like, oh, yay, this is happening. And so, yeah, it is, it's interesting territory that I never thought I'd be navigating. Well, you're doing it from a bird's eye of view. You're doing it beautifully. Thanks. I know when you're in it.
Starting point is 00:18:04 It seems a lot different. There's a lot of things happening. But from my perspective, you're handling it really well and you're navigating as best as somebody possibly could, given a lot of different factors. Thank you. So I hope you know that. I'm learning how to receive praise or compliments. Kat, speaking of therapy cat in the podcast, she gave us tips for receiving compliments. And she said, you know, research shows, especially for women, it's really hard to just receive a compliment.
Starting point is 00:18:26 Like we feel like we have to be like, if someone's like, oh, nice shirt, you be like, oh, this, ugh, I felt gross this morning. or oh, this, I've had it forever. Like, you feel like you have to, instead of just saying, thank you. And so her tip number one is you just say thank you. And then in your head go, pause, pause, pause, pause, pause. So right now I'm trying to receive you saying that I'm handling it beautifully from what you can tell. And I'm going to go, thank you. And in my head, pause, pause, pause, pause, pause, like not say anything else.
Starting point is 00:18:52 Oh. I don't have to say anything. Just thank you. I need to do this. My boyfriend loves to be very kind to me and he's always giving me compliments. and I deflect all of them. I'm like, I am literally, like, if you put up a deflector, I am it. He'll compliment me and I'll be like, you cringe.
Starting point is 00:19:10 No, ew, stop. I don't believe that. Or I'll say something just totally off put. And he's like, where did that even come from? And he'll just look at me and say, Morgan. And I just have to look at him back. I say, thank you. Like very quietly.
Starting point is 00:19:23 Now you can go, thank you. Pause, pause, pause, pause, pause. He's going to be like, why are you saying pause? I'm like, I'm trying to make this happen in my head. So I get it. It's hard. We've been conditioned a certain way, and it gets hard to break that habit. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be back. We have more to talk about. There's two golden rules that any man should live by. Rule one, never mess with a country girl. You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes. And rule two, never mess with her friends either.
Starting point is 00:19:56 We always say that trust your girlfriends. I'm Anna Sinfield. And in this new season of the Girlfriends. Oh my God, this is the same man. A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist. I felt like I got hit by a truck. I thought, how could this happen to me? The cops didn't seem to care. So they take matters into their own hands. I said, oh, hell no. I vowed. I will be his last target. He's going to get what he deserves. Listen to the Girlfriends. Trust me, babe. On the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I got you. What's up, everyone? I'm Ego Wadam. My next guest, you know from Step Brothers Anchorman, Saturday Night Live, and the Big Money Players Network.
Starting point is 00:20:50 It's Will Ferrell. Woo. Woo. My dad gave me the best advice ever. I went and had lunch with them one day. And I was like, and Dad, I think I want to really give this a shot. I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings. I'm working my way up through, and I know it's a place they come.
Starting point is 00:21:07 Look for up and coming talent. He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet. Yeah. He goes, but there's so much luck involved. And he's like, just give it a shot. He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration. It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat.
Starting point is 00:21:35 Just hang in there. Yeah. Yeah, it would not be... Right, it wouldn't be that. There's a lot of luck. Listen to Thanks, Dad, on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. You can have opinions. You can have like a strong stance.
Starting point is 00:21:53 And then there's your body having its own program. I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and hosts of the podcast, a slight change of plans, a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other people. plans. We share stories and scientific insights to help us all better navigate these periods of turbulence and transformation. There is one finding that is consistent, and that is that our resilience rests on our relationships. I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change. We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes. Listen to a slight change of plans on the IHeart Radio app, Apple

What would that look like in our families if everyone was able to pass on wealth to the people when they're no longer here?
Starting point is 00:24:01 We break down budgeting, financial discipline, and how to build real wealth, starting with the mindset shifts. Too many of us were never, ever taught. Financial education is not always about like, I'm going to get rich. That's great. It's about creating an atmosphere for you to be able to take care of yourself and leave a strong financial legacy for your family. If you've ever felt you didn't get the memo on money,
Starting point is 00:24:28 this conversation is for you to hear more. Listen to Money and Wealth with John O'Brien from the Black Effect Network on the IATHard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you. you get your podcast. Have you had this where you're learning an entirely new language? So I remember you bringing up football and he watches football a lot. My boyfriend's very interested in golf. And so he'll text me when he's out golfing. And the other day he was like, I got a birdie. And I'm like Googling, what the heck is a birdie? And I'm trying to learn and understand this whole new language of golf because I never, I knew golf existed. I had boyfriends that played before,
Starting point is 00:25:09 but I was never truly invested. And now when he texts me, I'm like, dang. I have to learn all these new terms and some listener messaged me that a pro tip in golf is anything with a bird is good news. Anything not with a bird? Questionable. So she's like pro tip if you ever get a bird text message. It means good. Don't know what it means and I have to go further. So I'm learning an entirely new language right now and that language is golf.
Starting point is 00:25:35 Yeah, I'm going to need to pick up on golf. That's something that we've decided we're going to start doing more together. He plays. He doesn't play as much as he wants to. That's why he wants us to play together so we can play more. And his 15-year-old son is getting really into it. So I think he also, that's the way he wants to bond with his son. Yeah. So I see more golf in my future. So I got a golf skirt the other day. I love that. You went straight to golf skirt and like golf clubs. Oh, yeah. I don't need. I don't need my own clubs yet. But I assume if I start playing more, then I will. But I got a cute skirt. Well, we love a Q-Start. That's where it starts. Remember, the outfit helps us get excited about something. Yeah, like Dion Sanders. If you look good, you feel good. If you feel good, you play good. Yeah. If you play good, they play good. They pay good. I didn't know that was any part of that. I think I always ever just heard if you look good, you feel good. If you feel good. If you feel good. If you feel good, you play good. If you play good, they pay good.
Starting point is 00:26:34 That last one I did not know. That is new information. But yeah, that's where my territory is right now. And if you want to ask any questions, you. you can, but I just grilled you. So I'm giving you space to now girl me back if you, well, I'm like, I mean, what about your boyfriend being a part of any of your stuff? Like, you have a podcast? And do you think that that's something one day he would ever? I mean, I feel like, I know it's a little early. But sometimes Ben would do stuff with me. And even after Ben and I divorced, he came on the podcast and we talked a little bit about co-parenting. But is that, and that was not been, I would say, out of the 17 years that we were married and I was on the radio the whole time we were together. I mean, he was involved, he was involved with a microphone, like, I could fit it on one
Starting point is 00:27:18 hand probably. Yeah. I don't know that I would ever, like, a show scenario that feels like I'm just walking him into a lion's den. You know what I mean? But on my podcast, yeah, I think he would be so up for it. What do you think y'all would talk about? Like, because you're very into therapy and your podcast leans therapeutic, like, is he open to therapy? Yes. He's very mental health focused and He also has a crazy life story that I would love to share, and he would love to share someday. That's really cool. And also just our relationship and meeting, and because it was in real life, and it was kind of fate playing a hand and all of that versus dating apps and stuff. That story is really interesting.
Starting point is 00:28:01 All my friends love to hear it, like, gives them hope that you can still meet the old school way. So those two things. And he's super supportive. He will always take photos and videos of me all the time without me ever. asking just he's like here I took all these and I'm like what when did you even do that like if you're just like what are you doing like if I'm putting together flower bouquets or I'm hanging out with the animals like he's just always he loves snapping photos and videos which I love that's helpful because I've I've always dated people who kind of resented that part about me that I wanted to take
Starting point is 00:28:31 photos and pictures and you know do my little food posts or any of anything like that it just felt like it was always a burden and with him there is none of that he's He loves capturing content. He's not even a content person. He just likes creating memories through photos and videos. So he's not trying to be like a... No. He doesn't...
Starting point is 00:28:52 He's not asking you to capture content. No. No. But like, I love taking pictures and videos of him because that's who I was before. And he loves that. And he's like, nobody ever took videos and stuff of me. This is a really cool. I was like, nobody ever took him of me.
Starting point is 00:29:04 So this is a cool moment that we're having. And so I don't... There's no part of me now that feels burden. in that aspect, at least in my side of my career. How long has it been at this point? Over a month and a half? So like, I guess your parents will meet him in June when they come for Seymai Fest? Yes, yes, they will meet him.
Starting point is 00:29:25 They're very excited. I've met... Have they, like, FaceTime with them? Yes, they've met on FaceTime, and he's met one of my sisters on FaceTime. And I've met his whole family besides his dad. His dad hasn't been down yet, but I've met everybody else, so... It feels safe. It feels good. It feels right in a lot of ways. But there's just, you know, there's still walls that I have up that are slowly coming down. I think over the course of time, that's the only thing that will really make those come down. But I have this kind of arbitrary timelines in my head of, well, maybe in like six months it'll feel like I'll feel, okay, he's not going anywhere. But it's just me in my past, like kind of speaking to me and trying to make me feel like I have to pay attention to these. arbitrary timelines that happened in my past relationships or situations where something happened.
Starting point is 00:30:17 So I'm really trying to fight those back and just allow it to be good and safe and happy because that's what it is. Yeah. You know, I haven't had any reason not to feel that way. It's really just more my past situations that like to try and creep in, which I was prepared for. My therapists that I had for a really long time, especially after the abusive relationship told me the only way that I would ever truly heal is like when I felt really safe in a relationship to let things down and guards down. And I've had moments of that in relationships, but I don't know that I've had, I think it was going to take the right, whoever was going to be the right one for it to truly, my healing to truly finish. I don't know if that makes any sense. Because I've had less. I've had less.
Starting point is 00:31:07 since I've had a lot of growth and a lot of learning in past relationships. But I think whoever I'm supposed to marry is the one will be the one where the remainder of the really hard healing is going to happen for me, like internally. Right. That makes sense. So, and it feels like that's kind of happening in a way and that scares me. And I think I'm pushing back on her a lot of like, no, I'm not ready for that yet. Yeah. You know, so it's interesting. You know, like you mentioned, it's this internal. You're just fighting a lot of things and trying to understand what's happening, trying to understand yourself and your body and what's going on in all these different moments while also just trying to enjoy be present. The good that's happening to you. Right. So it's an interesting
Starting point is 00:31:49 experience that I'm happening right now. But so far, no flags. Lots of happiness. Yeah, he sounds like a dream. He is. Everybody, all my friends are like obsessed with them. I literally got a text from a friend the other day that was like, Morgan, your boyfriend is the sweetest guy ever, even at 5 a.m. because he goes to the gym and he'll go work out. And she sees him. She goes to this gym too. And she's like, he's literally the kindest human. I was like, that's all you ever want, right?
Starting point is 00:32:16 Is for not only you to feel that way, but everybody around you to also feel that same way about them. Especially if they're nice at 5 a.m. Right? Like, who's nice at 5 a.m.? I'm not. I'm a little hungry and sleepy. all the time. So yeah, that's where we are. Well, that's exciting. I know. I need an update on the kiddos before we go into our next day. Well, I was going to say, I would like to, I look forward to meeting him.
Starting point is 00:32:43 Oh, yeah, you definitely will. Yeah. My kids, or I'm like my kids or the, I feel like I've got. All the kids? Whatever you want to show. Three other kids, but they're not. I'm not there. mom. We're not, we're taking things slow. But let's see. My kids, Stevenson, they're about to finish school. Is Sasha about to finish finish? No, no. She's a junior. She has one more year left. Yeah. Even though she just turned 18, she's obviously with the adoption and then getting here late. Like we help them back. Like Stevenson's, you know, 14 and still in junior high. Or he's, and he's going to be 15 this summer and he'll still be in junior high. but they're both doing really great. Like Stevenson last night, I don't know, just bedtime last night was really sweet. Like everybody, I was like, hey, it's time for bed and nobody fought me on it. Everybody just went to bed and then I go to their rooms and I say good night.
Starting point is 00:33:42 But his door was already shut and the dog was in there. So I don't want to open it because the dog will run out. She loves coming to my room. And so just through the door, I was like, good night, Stevenson. And then he just yelled so loud, probably making sure I could hear it because his door. Rochette and he was like, good night, mom. And I don't know, it just warmed my heart so much. And I was like, oh, I loved hearing that from him. And, you know, we went through a season with him for a little bit where it was pretty rough. And it just reminded me how far we have come. And it was just a special moment for me.
Starting point is 00:34:15 So when you're asking me about the kids, that Stevenson story popped in my mind. And then So Shira is doing great too. Like she's like trying to figure out what her summer job is going to be. She's trying to decide if she wants to apply at clothing boutiques or restaurants. Okay. Was she still working at her other restaurant job? She quit that when track season. Like she hasn't been there.
Starting point is 00:34:42 And I don't think she wants to go back there. If she does do a restaurant, she'll do a different one just for. Try some new things out. Just diversity. Yeah. A new experience. But this one restaurant she did want to apply to is. It's a little bit further away.
Starting point is 00:34:53 So I had to talk to her about how the further away you work, that's the more that you're spending on gas money. And so she was like, oh, I don't know if I want to do that. And I was like, yeah. I mean, if that's really where you want to work, then you weigh that out and you sacrifice the gas. It's fine. But at her age, I'm like, you could work. You're going to want to work closer to home. And so, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:35:16 I was encouraging to try the boutique this time around. Like if she just did the restaurant thing last time, like working in retail. clothing and I was like but you may have to you know start you may not be working the floor helping customers right away maybe you're working in the back or doing things which she did have a small job steaming clothes at a boutique which she reached out to them I don't know if she's going to they have anything for her like more than that so she's hoping for for more experience I think interacting with people is she's looking for she's so wanting to do hair I know at one moment time she was wanting to do beauty school. Oh, well,
Starting point is 00:35:54 aesthetician. Okay. She wanted to go for face stuff. Yes. She's still interested in that. Could she be a front desk at a place like that? Or is that? Yeah, I think for summer, they're not, those jobs are more difficult to get if you're just looking for summer. But she has asked some of my friends that are in that field, like, hey, can I come shadow you? Or are you looking for an intern? I want to learn more. So she could do that too. But if she's, she's an intern. I don't think she's going to get paid or if she's just shadowing, but she's looking to save up some money. And she's, you know, starting to look at colleges and trying to figure out, um, applying for scholarships and stuff like that. So does she want to go to
Starting point is 00:36:36 college now? I know that was also not really in play. It was not. Like she wanted to do more of the Estetician school route, which we supported. And now she is thinking she wants the college experience. I think because some of her friends are doing college visits and she's, She went with her best friend to visit Alabama. And when she came back from that, I think she was like, oh, I think I do want to have the college experience. Yeah. And so we'll see. We're trying not to push it either way.
Starting point is 00:37:07 We kind of want to see where she lands with it. But I'm excited for her if she does do that because I think it would be cool for her to have the full-blown experiment. Not experiment, experience. But she was saying the other day, I think I need to get a dog, like a German Shepherd if I go to college. Oh, boy. And I was like, what? First of all, you're going to be in a small space with roommates. You don't have room for a German Shepherd.
Starting point is 00:37:31 They're likely not going to be allowed if you're living in a dorm or an apartment or something like that. And she's like, what? No, it's going to keep me safe. Like, I don't want to get assaulted or like, I was like, what are you? What stories you're hearing on college campuses, which I know that, sadly, stuff like that does happen. But you could also survive it without a German Shepherd. and I just don't think that your freshman year of college is when you need to focus on having a big dog because you're going to be going to school and you may have some sort of a job and you're going to need to study and you're going to have a social life.
Starting point is 00:38:04 Yeah. It sounds like there might be some fear associated with college just based on stories. Yeah. I know. I know. I'm like, get off. You know, I think she sees stuff on YouTube and TikTok. Like she watches all those crime things.
Starting point is 00:38:18 Oh, yeah. There's this one crime girl. I don't even know the person's name, but she breaks down like crazy cases on YouTube. She's just some girl that records some out of her bedroom. And I've watched some of them with her. I wish I could remember the person's name. She's got millions of viewers, but so she was very into those. And I'm like, maybe we need to cut back on that because I think that's why you think you need a German Shepherd.
Starting point is 00:38:39 Well, and she loves horror, right? Yeah, loves it. Hmm. I feel like between the crime and the horror stuff, we're definitely impacting a little bit of how she feels in safety. Right. And that's fair. Yeah, that's fair. I totally get it. But yeah, definitely no German Shepherd freshman year of college. I know. Like, we're definitely, you don't have time for that. Yeah. And also, more money. Like, yeah. I'm like, a German Shepherd that requires a lot of care. There's vet bills, shedding, tons of food. You're not thinking this through.
Starting point is 00:39:13 I really appreciate that we are going from a bird to German Shepherd. Yeah. I like. I like, the evolution of that for her. The bird definitely, a bird could not protect her or a cat. Like she loves her cat Maggie. That would not protect her. No. So she just wants protection. And I'm like, get some mace.
Starting point is 00:39:32 Or I bought her one of those birdies. Yeah. There's also an app. Keychain things that she can have on her phone that she can hold on to whenever she goes places. And if she releases her hand, it calls 911. That's what I used a lot in college. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:39:44 I would have to, I feel like I would accidentally release my hand. I'd be like, oh, shoot. Well, I think when you're that tense, I would be tense sometimes walking in dark places and I would just like grip my phone. So that's when you would pull it up. Like if you're walking on campus at night by yourself or something, you'd bust out your app. And most of the time I would call somebody if I was walking so somebody was on the phone. But if nobody could answer or somebody, it was kind of just my backup plan. But it was there and it was ready. And I felt safe because if I released it and didn't put like, you can release it for, I think it's three seconds. But if you put it back on, then it won't call 911. If you release it. it and you never put it back on, it will call 911 to your direct location. Gotcha. It's all like safe light, home light. I'd have to look it up.
Starting point is 00:40:26 So there's so many things that she could have. Yeah. As resources. Yes. I'm like, here's a key chain. You don't need a German Shepherd. You know, but shout out to her. She's dreaming for the stars, and I appreciate that about her.
Starting point is 00:40:39 We're going to take another quick break. We'll be back for maybe some stories from Austin, Texas for our festival. There's two golden rules that any man should live by. Rule one, never mess with a country girl. You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes. And rule two, never mess with her friends either. We always say that trust your girlfriends. I'm Anna Sinfield, and in this new season of the girlfriends,
Starting point is 00:41:08 Oh my God, this is the same man. A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist. I felt like I got hit by a truck. I thought, how could this happen to me? The cops didn't seem to care. So they take matters into their own hands. I said, oh, hell no. I vowed.
Starting point is 00:41:27 I will be his last target. He's going to get what he deserves. Listen to the girlfriends. Trust me, babe. On the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. What's up, everyone? I'm Ego Wodom.

My dad gave me the best advice ever. I went and had lunch with him one day, and I was like, and Dad, I think I want to really give this a shot. I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings.
Starting point is 00:42:09 I'm working my way up through, and I know it's a place that come look for up and coming talent. He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet. Yeah. He goes, but there's so much luck involved. And he's like, just give it a shot. He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration. It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat.
Starting point is 00:42:40 Just hang in there. Yeah, it would not be. Right, it wouldn't be that. There's a lot of luck.

Starting point is 00:45:46 How was the IHart Festival for you? Austin, Texas. What's it like going back for you? Especially living in Nashville for so long now. I... I get asked that question And like every time I go back, like, oh my gosh, are you going to see family? And I'm like, it's so awkward because I'm like, I don't have family there anymore.
Starting point is 00:46:03 Like my sister moved to Colorado. My mom died. My dad died. Nobody's there. I do have friends that are still there. And my cousin is in Wimbrily, which is outside of Austin. So it's not necessarily super easy to get to. It's not like, oh, you're in Austin.
Starting point is 00:46:17 So obviously I'm going to see my cousin because it's a little bit of a hike to Wimberley. But I do like going back. It's just not the same. It's very busy and trafficy and we're we're staying like our hotel to the venue. There's a lot of construction. And so it just feels like, yeah. Like if I could, we're very busy too. So if I had time to actually get out and enjoy a few things, I think I would love it.
Starting point is 00:46:46 Like I normally do try to go like hike. We used to call it back in the day town lake, but now it's Lady Bird Lake. If I go do that, that's very life giving to me. and I didn't get to do that this trip, so I was kind of sad. But of course I love Austin. It'll always be home for me. It just doesn't feel the same going back. And then I, there's the awkward like, are you going to see family?
Starting point is 00:47:11 Yeah, and you're like, okay, we have to do this again. And I'm like, no, womwomp. It was interesting. I love Austin, but I don't have the experience that you, but I do know what that feeling is like whenever I go back to Wichita and so much has changed. And you've just been gone for a lot. long time and life is different. Even though my family, that is the different part is my family's all still there. There's so much that has changed. And all your favorites, a lot of things have gone,
Starting point is 00:47:37 new things have replaced them, or just a lot of change when, I don't know, tourism is more likely in Austin than it's in Wichita, but when new businesses come in and it just changes the layout and the environment of a place like that. So I know that feeling. But also Austin to me is always always been strange literally because I what I knew about Austin before I ever visited was Austin is weird their slogan or motto keep Austin weird keep Austin weird and so when I first went there I said yeah it's a little strange there's some strangeness to it but good weird it's fun weird and every time I go I just I always experience some funny quirky things especially if I'm walking down 6th Street or something and I just witness weirder things than I think I've witnessed in any city and I've spent a lot of time
Starting point is 00:48:26 Denver, which is supposed to be like the comparison of Austin of the weirdness. And I think Austin wins. Austin beats it. Yeah, I think so. But I always get breakfast tacos. That's my thing. I will always eat breakfast tacos. Like from a specific place or just?
Starting point is 00:48:42 No, I like try and go to new places that I haven't been. And because that's just, I feel like Austin is really good for breakfast tacos. Definitely. So that's what I'll always get. It's always on the menu. I try and get it both days or especially even in the airport on the one. way back. I'll get a breakfast taco. It just makes me happy. Yeah. What's your favorite kind of breakfast taco? I love anything where they put a potato and egg. So it's not really hard because
Starting point is 00:49:06 I'm vegetarians. You can't add a whole lot of things. But there's some places that don't make potato and egg breakfast tacos. But anytime they do, there's one place at the airport and I can't remember what they're called. But their potato egg is mashed potato with egg. Then they add avocado to it and it's so yummy. Oh, I'm trying to think of what is there at the airport. I like the migas breakfast taco all always from anywhere megas is it that scramble eggs some a specific kind of cheese well they may they may use it i don't know if every place may have a different type of cheese that they use but it's typically just like a like a how i make megas so there's like maybe some rotel type situation so like a a tomato pepper concoction and then eggs cheese um tort uh tort
Starting point is 00:49:55 tortilla strips or like, you know, like a crunch. Like you get that in there. That's, that's megas for me. Got it. And it's wrapped up in a tortilla with some avocado and maybe a dipping sauce. Okay. And the dipping sauces are always so spicy. Whenever I go to Austin, the spicy sauce always gets me.
Starting point is 00:50:14 Because I think it's not going to be spicy. And I'm like, I'm like, out of my head. You start sweating. Because I'm a baby. I'm a baby when it comes to spices. I am too. I'm not good at it. I'm trying to expand my palate.
Starting point is 00:50:26 But I swear, every time one of my friends who like spicy food will try something, and he'll be like, it's not spicy, you're fine. And then I eat, I'm like, guys, that was so hot. My mouth is dying. And I have to, like, chug water. And I feel like such a child. But in my fairness, I have come a long way because I did use to put sugar and salsa. Okay.
Starting point is 00:50:44 And I feel like I used to think that that was weird when you would say that. But then I feel like I got messages after that and then even started looking at ingredients. And sometimes sugar is added. to the recipe. I know you were doing it to counter, so you were adding extra. But I just never associated sugar at all with it. But in some jars, if you look at the back, there's added sugar. Well, so this is funny about this too.
Starting point is 00:51:08 I was making the homemade enchilada sauce, which tends to be pretty mild. And it calls for a chili powder. Well, I was making this enchilada sauce and I didn't have chili powder. So I added cayenne pepper. Oh. I didn't realize how much. and pepper I added it. And it was so spicy. So I ended up having to add sugar to my enchilada size. And it was kind of a mess. But it ended up tasting really good. But I added a crap ton of sugar. That was supposed to be something that was relatively healthy. And it was just not it tasted very sweet. And then the ending though was still really spicy. And so I would finish eating my enchiladas and I would just be sweating. Oh, yeah. It was not a good experience. You're still going to have the kick there.
Starting point is 00:51:53 Well, you were telling your story, too. I tried to look up taco restaurants at the airport. So is it Taco Deli? I think it was Taco Deli. Yeah, I'm trying to think because if anybody wanted to know if they're traveling through the Austin airport, what I love about the airport there is it's all local places. So if you don't have time to drive out to Driftwood to get Salt Lake barbecue, you can get Salt Lake Barbecue at the airport. Yes. And there's a food truck.
Starting point is 00:52:19 There's two places I've had breakfast tacos in there. There's a food truck that has, you live. literally walk up to it and it's a food truck and then Taco Deli, which Taco Deli is consistently good. Is that a Texas chain for tacos? I mean, there's multiple locations in Austin, but I don't know if it says here Taco Deli handcrafted tacos across Texas. So I'm not quite sure where it started. But yeah, we would get Taco Deli back, you know, when we were working at the station in Austin.
Starting point is 00:52:48 A coffee shop across the street from us would carry Taco Deli's tacos. It's called Ruda Maya coffee, and we would go get the tacos, and they were so good. And then speaking of barbecue, Rudy's has breakfast tacos, and they would drop off tacos every Thursday at the station. And it was so good. And they would do pigs in a blanket, too. They would drop up breakfast tacos and pigs in the blanket. And I was like, oh, those were the days. What was that like to get food all the time?
Starting point is 00:53:15 We don't have that experience here. Well, when we were going over to the coffee shop to get Taco Deli, we were paying for it. But every Thursday, when Rudy's would drop. it off. It was a treat and that was so awesome. See, I love that. Tons of tacos. Lots of tacos. We'd be like breakfast. This is breakfast, lunch. It was back when, yeah, we were just starting out and we, free food was, I mean, free food is always great, but especially in our early 20s. Yeah. Yeah, free food was everything. That's one of my favorite inventions of food is Mexican food with breakfast. And I don't think until I finally went to Austin that did I ever realize, like breakfast burritos. So they didn't have that growing up in Wichita? Not anywhere that I went.
Starting point is 00:53:54 Because our Mexican food was on the border Taco Bell, and we never really went to... Taco Bell. We had a Taco Tico. If that was also a fast food joint. And I never went there. We always chose Taco Bell. Because especially in the 90s, Taco Bell, like, so cool. It was like a little, I don't know, the pastels that they had or whatever.
Starting point is 00:54:16 But we never went to any local Mexican restaurants. I know now there's a lot, but when I was growing up, no for sure, we did all the chains. Texas Roadhouse and Olive Garden. We had a lot of chains. So it wasn't really until I was in college that I learned about breakfast in tacos. And a lot of restaurants started putting breakfast tacos on their menus. Kind of became a thing at one point. But then when I went to Austin was when I really realized like what breakfast tacos were supposed to taste like.
Starting point is 00:54:46 And, you know, like the really good ones. The authentic good stuff. Yeah, because you get them from American restaurants, and they're good. I love a breakfast taco no matter what. But then I went to Austin and it ruined me because I had really good breakfast burritos and breakfast tacos. I know. When it comes to Mexican restaurants in Texas, you got to find just like the places that you're like, you question. You're like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:55:10 Should I go in there? I mean, that's what my dad would always do. He's like, oh, the more, like he would just call him a hole in the wall type place, even for burgers. It's not just Mexican food. Like the more hole in the wall it looks, he's like, the better it's going to be. That is true. He's not wrong. Is the place where he has a burger named Nafram also a hole in the wall?
Starting point is 00:55:27 Oh, that's big daddy's. No, not real. No, I would call that more of like a Texas Roadhouse type situation. Oh, okay. Shout out dad. Yeah. Well, he had a, that was a, they had some of those restaurants. And he was where the one in Odessa, he had for.
Starting point is 00:55:47 years. Like when I go visit him, he moved to Odessa for a little bit after him and my mom split. I guess to probably quiet down some of the buzz because he was leaving her for somebody else. So they moved to Odessa for a little bit. And I would go visit him for spring break and I was a hostess at Big Daddy's. So I would hostess there. And then, yeah, I guess I guess still there. I don't know who owns it now or what, but there's still my half sister was in Odessa for something and they decided to go eat at Big Daddy's and she opened up the menu and there was Cliffs Burger still on the menu. That's wild. I know. It's cool that it's still there though. All these years later. Yeah. That's cool. Okay. We're going to end us on a celebrity story. Do you have a celebrity story from I Heart Festival? Well, I told this one on the show, my Sam Hunt story
Starting point is 00:56:40 where he fell in front of him. Well, I didn't fall, but I dropped all my luggage in front of him and I might as well have fallen. It's ridiculous. I was about to start a Thomas Rett interview on Hulu and his phone started ringing and he was like, oh, what's this? He looked at it. It was his wife calling and I thought, and the Hulu hits are live. And so I was like, oh, shoot, is he about to answer a phone call from his wife and then we're going to go, I'm going to have to stall. But he was like, oh, call her back. And I was like, oh, see, stars are just like us. Like he's at work doing his thing. But his wife is like, oh, I got to call. My husband, I have a question. Or maybe he's not on stage. I mean, because he was also about to take the stage. Well, and I feel like she wouldn't call for no reason either, too,
Starting point is 00:57:20 because of his work environment. So she must have called because something was going on. Yeah, or she could have just, I don't think it was anything serious. Because if he was alarmed by that, he would have picked it up. I don't think he would have ignored it. So they probably are just used to talking, which that's the whole thing. Like, some people do not call their spouses or their significant others on the job. That was shocking to me. Like, therapy cat, she told me she just never called her husband at work. And I was like, what? I would call Ben all the time. I mean, I guess when he was in the military, it was different.
Starting point is 00:57:51 But in my boyfriend, I call him, I call him, I'll call him as soon as we get done here and we leave. Yeah. And then I'll call him again. Just, hey, what are you doing? I'm working. Okay. You know, so, but I put up a thing about it on Instagram a couple of months ago. And I was shocked at how divided some people were.
Starting point is 00:58:10 They're like, oh my gosh, yeah, I would never call my spouse at work ever. Again, it depends on what your spouse does. Yeah. But just the fact that it's a thing of like, no, they're at work. Why would I call them? I'm like to see what's up. That kind of shocks me because I feel like most people when they were kids would call their parents while they're at work. I don't know how many times I would pick up in the home boat just to bother my parents at work for the stupidest things.
Starting point is 00:58:35 Yeah. I mean, maybe people are traumatized from that experience and others are like, no, I did it all the time. Or to your point, depending on how they grew up, maybe their parents had jobs where they couldn't call them. And so they just, it doesn't occur to them to just call their partner. Yeah. Because, yeah, I would call, to your point, I would call my parents all the time too. And I definitely call my boyfriend probably too much. And then sometimes he's like, okay, I got to go.
Starting point is 00:59:01 And I'm like, well, I just got done with work because our schedules are very different. And I was like, I have a 20 minute drive home. Like, what am I supposed to do now? Isn't it funny, too, how, I don't know if you've ever seen those memes or videos where you call somebody. when you're on a drive home and they don't call you back until you pull in the garage and you're like, no, I don't want to talk to you now. I only want to talk to you because I was driving home. Yes, hilarious. It's like you're at home or they'll show, it's like a girl at home like eating popcorn, watching TV, literally doing nothing, but her phone rings and she ignores it. And she's like,
Starting point is 00:59:32 when that person calls that you called when you were driving. Because you're still not doing anything. Like you could totally answer, but it's like, oh, no, no, you missed your window. I know. Is that funny that we do that. Or when you had way more energy or you were in the mood to talk. Mm-hmm. You're like, never mind. I take it back. Yeah, you may not find that energy again for another five days. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:50 Yep, very real. All right, Amy. Well, thanks for joining me. Thanks for talking about boyfriend kids, all the life updates. Thank you. Same to you. Before we leave, just you're good. How are you feeling?
Starting point is 01:00:00 I'm great. Premental pause, everything. Perimental stuff is, you know, ebbs and flows. Yeah. So you never know. Speaking of my heart, I did have a little bit of a, I was emotional and hormonal. I had a moment with Elizabeth Fazio, who,
Starting point is 01:00:14 we work with where backstage I had to let out a quick cry for a second. And I was like, I looked at her and I was like, I don't know what is happening. I really don't. I was like, I don't know why I'm crying. I cannot explain this right now. And that's one of those things where it's just like, this is so unprofessional. Nobody else saw me besides her. So I felt okay. But it just made me want to like hug a lot of women that maybe just need to let out a cry. We're literally at their job. There's no way they could do it. And you have to go hide and find a space. So I just want to normalize random tears at work when your, you know, your estrogen might be a little off or something. Like, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:00:54 It was, that was a crazy, I heard story. I've never had that happen. And that probably feels really out of body where you just feel lack of control. Yes, because then only I can, like, focus and, like, get my job done and, like, do what I need to do. And I was backstage and I was like, Elizabeth, I don't know what was happening, but we need to go over here in the dark right now because, like, tears are flowing. And I just, I feel off. and I need to feel on. And so it was like, I got it out.
Starting point is 01:01:17 And then I felt a little bit better. So that released some chemicals that I needed to help me survive. So, yeah, I know a lot of other women are going through it. So I just want to send you a hug through the podcast. And also, if you're a guy listening and you have a woman in your life that might be going through it, just remember to have some compassion and grace because she may act in a way that is confusing to her as well. It doesn't excuse our behavior, but sometimes maybe you just get curious about, hey, let's let's pause what could really be going on you know instead of thinking that you know we're just acting all crazy
Starting point is 01:01:54 you're not crazy your body's just betraying you a little bit and we're understanding that it's like betraying because it's so it's part of the process it's like literally what is supposed to be happening but also crap because why do we have to have that serious you know what I mean that's what I want to know That's where I feel betrayed is this feels very one-sided. Exactly. And I don't appreciate that experience for all of you guys that are going through it. All right. We'll tell the people where they can find you, hear you all that good stuff.
