Starting point is 00:03:09 Sometimes the best thing you can do is just out and feel things. This is Feeling Things with Amy and Kat. Happy Tuesday. Welcome to Feeling Things. I'm Amy. And I'm Kat. And I have lots of feelings of the day. Let's hear them.
Starting point is 00:03:23 Okay. One, I'm disappointed. You want to know the feelings and then I'll give you a little tidbit. So disappointed, envious, interested, and curious. Okay. So I'm disappointed in my food. I'm envious of your food. I'm interested in a handyman that came to do some work at my house.
Starting point is 00:03:42 And I'm curious if you think it's weird that I still have my ex-husband as my emergency contact. Are you really asking me that? Yeah. I don't think it's, how do I say this? I don't think it's necessarily weird. Because your sister lives in Colorado. Right. Would that be the next person you would use?
Starting point is 00:04:10 It's not in every area where I have an emergency contact, but I just realized I hadn't updated certain things. Versus you're still put when some, if you go somewhere new and they ask you. I don't add him like now. Okay. Okay. That would be weird. I didn't know how to say without being.
Starting point is 00:04:28 Okay. Let me rephrase that. Is it weird? I haven't updated all of that because it's. It's been years and it's time and I need to just do that. Well, no, because how do you know where to go? I'm like, I'm not going to go to every single thing I've ever had at emergency contact and change it. Well, so that I know he's listed and it's just like I haven't taken the time to change it because it's like, that's just a process.
Starting point is 00:04:49 So it just occurred to me. So I was like, maybe is this weird? I know in my phone with a little red asterisk, I do have the red emergency contact, but red azuret thing next to my sister, but also next to him. I still haven't changed that. Well, let's do that maybe right now. You don't do it right now? Yeah. Take them all.
Starting point is 00:05:06 See, that's like, these are little tasks that like don't bother me, but I don't want to take the time to do them at all whatsoever. Like, I don't even know. So if I go to my contacts, I pull up my phone. And while we're talking about this or while I'm looking for his number, we can also talk about how Kat just had the most best meal and I missed out on it. My food, like I said, my food was disappointing. But it is what it is.
Starting point is 00:05:30 I had already cooked it. It was in my fridge, but it's probably the fourth time I've eaten it this week because I just cooked a bunch of chicken a few days ago. And then I made some butternut squash, which that was really yummy. The pre-chopped butternut squash at the grocery store?
Starting point is 00:05:47 Because do you know how hard it is to chop up your own? I would never chop my own butternut squash up. Why? That because it sounds hard. Yes, and it is. Sort of like spaghetti squash. You almost have to put it in the oven to preheat it and make it a little softer and then chop it. But they had pre-chopped on sale.
Starting point is 00:06:09 So I bought a couple of boxes or containers. And I am like, this is delicious. You just roasted in the oven at 400 for 20 minutes with a little sea salt and some olive oil. Your life was changed. Except you're saying that you didn't really. No, it was the chicken. Oh. It mixed in with the chicken and then glim pals ketchup.
Starting point is 00:06:28 that's what I had. Every time now since we talked about that, if y'all didn't hear that episode, Lynn Powell had a traumatic experience with chicken as a child. And so now he has, or chicken with ketchup. So now he has his own ketchup brand. And I bought it because I'm a marketing sucker. And they had a picture of him next to the ketchup.
Starting point is 00:06:51 And now anytime I go to my fridge and I pull it out, I'm like, I don't even, I still, I can't even think of what it's called. Glenn Powell's ketchup. Glenn Powell's ketchup. It is not called whatever brand it is. Yeah. They should just rename it.
Starting point is 00:07:02 Change the marketing. The ketchup was good. The butternut squash was good. The chicken, I think I'm just over it or I didn't season it properly. Well, you were comparing it to what I was eating. That's probably the actual issue because Kat, tell them what you were eating because it was so good. I actually ordered this two days ago. Well, I came in with a bag of chick flay and Amy said, I had Chick-Flay early this week.
Starting point is 00:07:25 I had the kale salad with some chicken nuggets in it. And I said, that is literally what I brought. So that's what I had. Literally what you brought. It was so good. Because you put some of the chicken nuggets in the kale salad and you eat that. And then you have some chicken nuggets left over that you eat with dipped in ketchup. So it feels like you get two different things.
Starting point is 00:07:42 Oh, that's a good idea. I don't save any nuggets. I break them all up with my fingers and make it shredded. And then I put it in and I shake up the kale salad. So anyway, if you're ever on the go and looking for a meal, oh, that one is so good. and I was very jealous and envious. That was my feeling of the day of Cat's Meal. Now, my feeling of being interested,
Starting point is 00:08:04 I just went into my phone and I removed the red asterisk. So, yay, that's done. Check. Okay. Now get to interested because I'm interested. Well, that just adds another feeling of the day for me. I feel accomplished. So we're down to what?
Starting point is 00:08:16 We have six feelings. Lots. You missed one, the last one. Oh, yeah. We'll get to that. Okay. Don't you worry. All right.
Starting point is 00:08:23 Let's talk about why you're interested. Okay, so I had a handyman. He came and worked at my house. and I can't stop thinking about him. I really can't. I know. I know. I know. Kat's like trying to find him online.
Starting point is 00:08:42 I'm like, I have no idea. I know nothing. We have a first name. Yeah, we have a first name. And what company where he works. Yeah, but that's it. They don't have him on their website. Or their Facebook.
Starting point is 00:08:56 And then Kat's dad is a builder, and he kind of knows some of these people. So then Kat's dad is actually one that remembered his name because I couldn't even remember his name. And then he had his number. So did we ever, did you ever look up the number? Is that when you got that older? Okay. So Kat is looking on her computer and she pulls up this very old. He was not old.
Starting point is 00:09:22 He looked like he was from the 80s. Yes, yes, yes. So now he would be old. If that was him in the 80s. I think he was like a, he's a hipstery guy. I think that's his style. I think that was a current picture. And he just had like the mustache and the bow tie and the...
Starting point is 00:09:37 Do you think that's the handyman? What did I say? I go, I don't think this is him, right? And then you confirmed. And I said, no, that is not him. But he had a similar job. That's why I thought it could be. Similar job.
Starting point is 00:09:52 And... Anyway, we're on the hunt. I don't know if I'm reading too many rom-coms, but I'm like, could this be my story? I need more things. I start breaking stuff at my house to be like, can you come fix this? Well, that's why we need your, you need to have his direct line, his direct work number versus you call the actual company because we need to make sure he's always the one that comes back. But also I wonder, I just, if he really loves his job and doesn't want to like get in trouble, do you think he's allowed to ask out customers?
Starting point is 00:10:27 I mean, I know as a therapist, do you can't date your clients? but is that the same thing in the handyman world? Well, because what if you, yeah, but what if you did that? Okay, but what if you did that and I got like, and you weren't into him and you were kind of like, oh, I'm uncomfortable and now I don't want to call that company again. If the company found out, they could be like, hey, like, tree art. Here, we have this clip. I'm not going to say anything to the company.
Starting point is 00:10:51 So if you're listening. But also, I don't even know for sure. Okay, we don't know how old he is. He could be way too young for me. He might have a girlfriend. He didn't have a wedding ring. He might have a girlfriend. He might have a bunch of small children.
Starting point is 00:11:04 He might be single. He might have a crazy ex. He might have no crazy ex. He might like men. He might have a... We don't know. He might like you. I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:11:15 Were you flirting with him? I don't know. I don't think so. Well, I was like, well, while you're here, I have this other thing. Wait, did you really? Yeah. Okay. And he was like, okay, I can help with that.
Starting point is 00:11:29 I mean, obviously, I paid for everything. That's his job. It's not like I was trying to get anything. But no, I don't think I was flirty. I was working also while he was here and Shannon was here. Like, we were working. So does he like a working woman? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:11:46 Well, we can find out. This is fun. So that is my feeling. Interesting. And then, okay, the one you mentioned that you, you're not supposed to look in the dock at my feelings. I'm sorry. I just, I'm sorry. I was trying to.
Starting point is 00:11:58 So again. inside baseball cat and i have a google doc and we we both add to it but we really both cat types in purple and i type in blue so that way it's very distinct and we try not to read what the other person has put in because we want to live this with you guys you're hearing stuff for the first time and we're hearing it for the first time too so like i know now that i'm looking and purple cats feeling conflicted today that's her feeling the day but i have no idea why but all finish my final feeling, which is, I'm worried about you. I'm worried about you. I'm worried about you. I'm worried. Because yesterday, you were very overwhelmed. And I, can I admit something?
Starting point is 00:12:48 Maybe. Are you going to hurt my feeling? No. Is this hurting your feelings? It's not meant to. No. I thought we were being playful. I am worried, though. Okay. Behind every night spent making the kids lunches, there's a lot of suspense. Will they finally eat the veggies? Will the pesto survive the first bite? Will the lunchbox come home empty, half full, or come home at all? And will you finish episode eight before you're done slicing the cucumbers?

Starting point is 00:13:39 I'm working hard on it. It's probably not the word. I put a lot of thought. I'll say this. I put a lot of thought into how to text you what I texted you. And I know you were driving, but I wanted to make sure I said it in the most non-overwhelming way, but there was, I probably said too much. I just wanted to be clear that, like, you don't have to do anything, but I obviously don't
Starting point is 00:14:02 want to do this without you and not give you the choice to participate because then you might feel left out. So I was presenting like, hey, hey, you don't need to worry about this. I got it. But in case you want to be a part of it, you can. And then third option was, you may hate this idea entirely and not want me to even do it. So just you tell me.
Starting point is 00:14:23 And then you're by back, you're like, I can't read this right now. I'm driving. But I'm just letting you know that I'm really overwhelmed and I can't add anything else to my plane. And I was like, I know, I know. That's why I was saying. But it's almost like you said you couldn't read it. but then you answered the question. Like, no, I can't do anything else.
Starting point is 00:14:42 And then that's when I knew, like, oh, wow, Katz. So much so Shannon was going to text you about something. I go, no. Oh, thank you. I was protecting your piece because it was a question that we could wait for. And I said, I think Kat is having an overwhelming day. And I don't think you should text her. And she was like, okay, cool.
Starting point is 00:15:02 No worries. We'll worry about it later because I knew you had clients to see. I know you're very pregnant. I know there's hormones and things. It's 100 degrees out. And you're, you are pregnant, the most pregnant at the hottest time. So I remember heat makes normal people agitated. So I just don't know.
Starting point is 00:15:24 I'm not saying you're acting agitated, but you can speak. I'm just worried and I'm like, okay, we maybe need to come up with a plan for this final month on how to best support you because I can't imagine all that you must be carrying figuratively and literally. Yeah, so I feel like I need to apologize because I didn't read your whole text. I read the first part of it and in my head I was like, I can't do anything else was my thought of like I don't want to do any. I can barely get done the things I need to get done.
Starting point is 00:16:02 and it's I'm feeling conflicted because my feeling was actually about like I am feeling this way but it's not that I have I have a little bit of guilt that I know is unnecessary like if I know what somebody would tell me if I was sharing this but it just is the way I feel I don't have the hardest job right now I'm not seeing even like yes I have clients but I'm not I have an appropriate amount of work but ever. Everything just feels harder. And I'm trying to plan for my future and get ahead of things. And so that's harder.
Starting point is 00:16:40 And I'm moving out of my office that I've been in for six years. So that is overwhelming. But then I think about like somebody who has to work a full 40 to 45 hours a week or is on their feet or doesn't have the ability to take a break when they need to take a break. I have all of those. So I'm like, it could be worse. Catherine. So get it together. But back to your text, I didn't read the whole thing.
Starting point is 00:17:08 I think if I read the whole thing, I would have not texted you back that way. It's okay. Sorry, because I didn't realize that you were like, you don't have to do anything. And I thought you were asking me to do something. And it would have, even you were like, it will only take five minutes. In my head, I was like, I know it won't take five minutes. She's saying that's going to take five minutes. I'm going to be at her house for 45 minutes doing this little social media thing and blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:17:32 And then I felt bad because I was like, she's just trying to help us but and she you're so excited about everything and you're I can't match your excitement and normally I would no and I get that I just could I guess now thank you for telling me you hadn't read the whole thing which I knew you hadn't but then answered the question because you I guess I knew you had it but you said I don't have time to read this so that made me think okay maybe she didn't see the whole thing but then you answered I can't add anything else to my play right now. So that's the answer to what I was asking. So I was like, so did she read it or did you not read it? So now I have understanding that you only read a little bit. And then you got
Starting point is 00:18:12 overwhelmed and you were like, I can't do this. But here's where I know your heart's coming from because I know you. And, you know, we've talked about this before. You feel guilty because you want to be able to do it. But I don't want you to feel guilty nor should you. Like we're a team together and there's going to be times where you're doing things or I'm doing things and we're going to be in different seasons. So I'm glad I'm glad we're talking this out right now, but I don't want there to ever be guilt. Now, if it becomes really disproportionate, dispapapapapap. Disproportionate? See, we're a team. We help each other. I finish your sentences. You do. If it ever becomes
Starting point is 00:18:57 extremely disproportionate for either one of us and something feels really off, then there would need to be like a major talk. However, it's not that. We're, we have these little projects we're trying to get done. And as we're growing, which I think it's great, we're growing, but we're adding someone to our team and we're trying to figure out how they fit in, what that looks like, what the heck are smart goals. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:19:23 Oh, yeah. I don't know with that. Yeah. So like you had stepped in and did some colors and some graphic stuff that I was, opening that email and honestly I was overwhelmed to where I was just like forget it we're not hiring anybody like I would rather just like not and we'll just figure this out whereas you're like you know what I got this and you handled it so I feel a little bit of guilt that you did that but I would like for neither one of us to feel guilt because we're going to have strengths and weaknesses I don't even want to
Starting point is 00:19:52 say weaknesses we're both going to have different things we bring to the table and we're both going to have days where we feel overwhelmed and so hopefully this is a good takeaway from anybody in a relationship that you have. It could be with your partner. Like the good days and bad days. You know my favorite Bray Brown marriage advice things? And we're kind of married in this podcast. Yes. I actually said this at Bobby's rehearsal dinner because I didn't even know I was supposed to speak. And right before the person in charge came over and like, oh, Amy, yeah, Bobby would like for you to speak. And I was a bridesmaid on Caitlin's side. Anyway, I didn't know who was talking or that I even had to do that. And I was like, oh, shoot,
Starting point is 00:20:31 Oh, shoot, what I'm going to do? What am I going to do? And then all of a sudden, I thought of this Bernay Brown thing. And so that's what I went up there. And I just said a little speech about this, which if you haven't heard it, yes, it's applied to her marriage. And that was my marriage advice to Bobby and Caitlin. But it could apply to, and how are they going to get there if they even can? Because some days, they're just not. But she may call her husband and say, look, I've had this, this, and this happen. I'm at about 20% today. Like, what do you got? And he might be like, you know what? I'm having a great day.
Starting point is 00:21:10 I'm at 80%. I got you. Like, what do you need? A cover check, check, check. Or her husband might be like, I'm at 20% today too. Oh, shoot. Now neither one of us combined even reaches 50%. So we need to go home.
Starting point is 00:21:24 Let's, oh, we have this dinner tonight. Is it absolutely necessary we go? And this dinner tomorrow? Nope. Let's cancel anything on the calendar that we don't absolutely have. have to do. And you know what? Do we even have to cook? Let's throw the fresh bench, throw things in the freezer so it doesn't go bad. We're ordering food. Like, how can we simplify our life to survive on 40% combined? And I love that. And we need to do that. So there's some days where you might be 20,
Starting point is 00:21:46 I may be 80, or I might be 10 and you're 90. Or combined, we're both losing our minds and we may need to reconvene, which we actually talked about that. We're like, Kat and I have a pregnancy plan. So we have this whole doc of, and it's a spreadsheet how we've been executing content and going through it. And there's a couple of days that are going to be quite laborous. Weeks, really. Labor. Oh. Laborous.
Starting point is 00:22:15 Yeah. Oh, that you. And I think we need to, I think we were feeling really ambitious when we put those days on the calendar. I think we need to reevaluate them and figure out a different way. So that's just a little look, like that's in the weeds of what's going on here. but hopefully that will be helpful for somebody listening right now that might feel that way in their own relationships. And it's okay to have low percentage days. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:39 I think as we were talking about this, this came to me that I grew up. This is just a little tidbit of like how you grow up when things have nothing to do with what you're dealing with now. They can still affect you in some way, the messages that you take from them. But I grew up in a, I wouldn't say like, I wouldn't. use the word tough, but I don't mean in the way like not loving. I grew up in a very loving household, but we all were very involved in athletics
Starting point is 00:23:07 and sports and we all were taught to be very tough in those sports where if something's not broken, then like you don't get to complain about it. And like even if it's broken, when I broke my leg in two places, my mom said the only reason I took you to
Starting point is 00:23:23 the hospital is because all the other parents were making such a big deal out of it. I was like, in your leg, was broke. What? I've never broken anything, but I assume when something breaks, isn't it so obvious? Well, I had my like sock and shingarden. So I, it was obvious to me because I was like in excruciating pain. I did score while I broke my leg, though. And I was a defender, so it was a big deal. Wow. But you couldn't see that it was broken. But then the other time that I broke a bone playing soccer, I broke my collarbone. And I was hysterically crying in my time.
Starting point is 00:23:59 My dad was like, Catherine, stop crying. It doesn't hurt that bad because he had broken his collarbone when he was in high school. And I was like, it really does. But I think that's just like the, they taught us to. And it actually was very helpful in playing contact sports. We were tough and that made us better athletes. But I've taken that. And I think I've applied it to a lot of parts of my life where I'm like, if it's not a huge deal, then you don't need to be completely.
Starting point is 00:24:29 complaining about it or you don't need to let it affect you. And I've had a relatively really good pregnancy. Like I haven't, I'm feeling the things that people feel in their third trimester, but I haven't been sick and I'm not so far. I'm not super swollen. I am, I can still get my ring on, but it is getting tighter. Well, I think that's just also, I mean, my rings are tight. It's a hundred degrees. Yeah. So I think part of me is like, and like I said, my job is flexible. So I'm like, Catherine, you don't have it that bad. So you just need to suck it up and get things done. But what that does is then I agree to do things that I probably shouldn't agree to do,
Starting point is 00:25:09 like that schedule. Like that schedule is kind of crazy. Yeah. And what if I'm like, there's no crying and podcasting. Like I can't do one more episode. So I just, as you were talking about that, I was like, I think that's a little bit of that coming out of me where I feel guilty because I feel like I should be on the same playing field, but I am eight and a half months pregnant. And you're bought, like I'm pumping 50% more blood and I'm carrying, who knows, 30, 40, maybe more
Starting point is 00:25:41 than that, more pounds around in 100 degrees. And my body is doing things that I don't know what's doing, like extra stuff all the time. And I can barely breathe. So I need to take that into consideration because I would not treat other people that. would treat other people the way you're treating me but i'm not treating myself that way if that makes sense when it comes to work well this is a good realization for you so now you can assess in these final hours and if my kids hurt themselves i think i'm probably going to i need to balance i don't need to do the opposite and like oh my gosh i'm taking to the hospital because you scraped your finger like i need to
Starting point is 00:26:22 find a balance i'm sure you will yeah yeah it's kind of funny about your parents though your mom's like other parents are making such a big deal we almost didn't even bring you here and meanwhile it's broken in two places my mom also was a nurse so I think that it has affected like how she treated us when we were sick and stuff too because she didn't get freaked out by things you know so she was slower to react I couldn't fake sick with my mom so is this is what you're feeling conflicted about that you're feeling conflicted that I am feeling bad for myself but then I'm feeling bad for feeling bad for myself. Yeah. I've really worked through something. We did. I feel like yes. This is good. So now we have a plan. You and I are going to have a meeting about the spreadsheet.
Starting point is 00:27:07 And I'm going to start reading your text when you said it. Well, I mean, it's okay. I get it. I knew I knew I didn't want to add to your plate. That's why that was option number two. I even typed out option one. Option two. So it was really clear. And then option three was like scrap the whole thing. So that was fun. Behind every night spent making the kids' lunches, there's a lot of suspense. Will they finally eat the veggies? Will the pasto survive the first bite?
Starting point is 00:27:42 Will the lunchbox come home empty, half full, or come home at all? And will you finish episode 8 before you're done slicing the cucumbers?

I survived, and I've spent my life exploring how other people survive what should have destroyed them. I'm Elizabeth Smart, and these are the Survivor Files. I just remember this low, taunting voice next to my ear saying, shut up, don't say anything. Every week, I'm with survivors who live through the unthinkable. I knew if he woke up, without a doubt, he was going to hurt me. I started feeling that there was someone at the end of my bed, and I just started screaming.
Starting point is 00:29:44 They are abducted, stalked, controlled, and nearly silenced. But these aren't stories about what's taken from them. There's stories about what it takes to make it out alive. Listen to the Survivor Files with Elizabeth Smart on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, wherever you get your podcasts.

Starting point is 00:31:18 Join us for a panel of wellness influencers. What I try to do is faux journal. I don't know. Have you guys heard of faux journaling? Yeah, it's reading. It's called reading. So we don't like to use that word anymore. Okay.
Starting point is 00:31:30 A panel of New York. Yorker cartoonists. Have you guys done Terry Gross's Peloton class? No! I've been dying too. I'm so sorry. I'm seeing a reading of Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes by Audra McDonald's at the Wonderland Bookstore on 14th. That's crazy. I went to the Wonderland Bookstore yesterday and I heard Nora Jones do a reading of Zero Dark 30. No way. You have to come to the last bookstore though. Kim Cottrell is reading the guitar tabs of yesterday. A panel of Eurovision participants. And we do a little Halloween sometimes. Does the Pope dress up?
Starting point is 00:32:04 He winks on Halloween. He gets right up next to the microphone. I hear you can almost hear the eyelashes hit each other. You never seen Italy so quiet as when the Pope gets up to wink on Halloween. Listen to artists on artists on artists on artists on the IHeard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Okay, so did you know that you can accidentally repost things on Instagram? Because let me tell you it was accidentally reposted on my page.
Starting point is 00:32:36 Okay. You know about reposting, right? No. Not in stories. Not in stories. I'm talking about that little arrow button that almost looks like the arrows. But that just reposts it out there. It reposts it onto your feed.
Starting point is 00:32:52 So that when people go look and scroll through your feed, they would come across this content. The exact definition from Instagram is, Instagram reposting is when you share a public reel or feed post to your own. profile using the repost button instead of sharing it only to stories the original creator gets credited and the reposts appear and the repost tab on your profile well do you know what was sitting in my repost tab on my profile for i don't even know how long and i had to delete it because i thought why but it's so you uh you know you can accidentally click save on a video you don't mean to sometimes when i'm going through comments like i'll hit hide and i'm like i didn't mean to hide that comment so then i go and i have to like unhide it because I don't want that person that's following me that left the comment
Starting point is 00:33:37 thinking I hit it hid their comment that happened the the other day with something sort of negative that someone sent me but I don't mind it being on my page but it looked like I hit it and I couldn't have that person think that I couldn't take it I couldn't take it I couldn't take the negativity so I went and I unhit it and I put it back up but anyway you can just accidentally click the buttons well, did those videos come up on your page of like how much I ate in the day as a fat girl? I'm not saying this. That's what they say. Well, yes.
Starting point is 00:34:10 And you've sent me one. Oh, yeah, probably because I couldn't believe how many donuts there were and they looked really good. It got reposted on my page. Wait. I will say I sometimes enjoy watching. Well, yeah, there is something oddly satisfying. I mean, that's why there's millions of views. But I just thought, I didn't want someone to think that I, that's what I reposted that,
Starting point is 00:34:38 because I don't know, I don't know that person. I don't know what's going on with them. Like, I don't know. It's sort of like a mix between muckbang and. A mookbong. Oh, is that what's called? I don't know. I always saw, is it a mook bong?
Starting point is 00:34:51 Is it muck bang? I kind of like yours better. Well, whatever. If y'all aren't familiar with that, that's eating on camera. And some people will pay for it. what do you mean like they'll pay to watch people eat but oh i didn't know that yeah it's it's a it's a thing but they they like the sound effects they like the food like ASMR and i just thought well this needs to be a PSA because it's easy to accidentally repost who people should go onto their
Starting point is 00:35:18 instagram repost and see if they have anything hanging out in there that shouldn't be there was that the only thing you'd repost that's it that's it that's the only thing that was there which is like so like Why would you repost that? Yeah, that's hilarious. I've never had that issue that is a good. P.S. I need to go check my. Should I check?
Starting point is 00:35:37 I mean, yeah, check and see if you have anything. What I do all the time is on TikTok. I constantly am sending people videos on accident. Because the share and it automatically shares with the last person you shared with. Button is really close to the bottom where you would swipe up. So I've already told it, they always got my friend Taylor. So she already knows not anytime I send you a TikTok video I don't mean to You don't have that problem I don't I don't share a lot I don't okay do a lot on TikTok
Starting point is 00:36:07 Oh my gosh I have a reposted video but it's what is it I don't remember reposting this it's actually Probably didn't do it on purpose but it's it's our feeling things video oh Okay okay oh cryocat does it on purpose it's the lesson on boundaries that changed my brain chemistry Okay but I'm I'm thinking you probably didn't do that on purpose I only did one so I probably didn't do it on purpose. Thank God that's what it was. Yeah and it wasn't yeah. Does it help is that is I guess we could do it on our own. I haven't thought I guess we're just not savvy enough with the reposting. I feel like a grandma right now because I don't fully understand it and the fact that I have that what I eat in a day up on my page for so long.
Starting point is 00:36:48 It's like my grandma's funeral. We live streamed it. Um, it just. Okay. It was COVID. It's COVID. Oh yeah. Yeah. So we live streamed it on. Facebook because like even my sister she was she had just gotten pregnant so she didn't go to it like a lot of people that wanted to be there didn't go to it so we I brought a tripod and I I live streamed on Facebook and her neighbor posted like a video of half of her face to like the Facebook the live stream group but it's she was just trying to like watch the video and she took a picture of herself and posted it so like that's what but you that's like what is reminding me of like Like I accidentally reposted this video.
Starting point is 00:37:31 That lady was like 87 years old. You are in your 40s. Yeah. Well, I don't know how much money these videos are making because there are so many views. If you end up with one of these videos on your page from these content creators, like you scroll through and that's how they start every video. Well, here's what I eat in a day is about girl. And then they're dipping like a donut in a latte. Yes.
Starting point is 00:37:52 In a latte. And I'm like, I kind of want to try that. But is that good? I don't feel like that a soggy donut. What? I don't know. That's what gets me when she does that. But there's a specific girl that does those videos that started coming up on my feed
Starting point is 00:38:06 because once you watch one, you know, the algorithm. But note I noticed that I kind of got like about is because she got really like a big following, she now they're all ads. So she ends up eating whatever it is. But it's really just an ad versus that I don't think she really was going to eat that in that day. You know what I mean? The content has changed So it's not, it doesn't feel as food
Starting point is 00:38:32 I mean food I know but I'm like Before it was like literally What she was eating every day And I'm like what is she having for dinner today? Or like what was her snack? And now it's like I'm having a poppy or whatever it is
Starting point is 00:38:44 I'm like were you gonna have that Are you having that because you're getting paid to? Yeah true Well if she operates like us People change I know she operates like us Sometimes we have stuff on our page But we genuinely like it
Starting point is 00:38:55 She may not agree to do it if she doesn't actually like it. Yeah, sure. Okay. Like, I like to choose to believe that people have, still have an authenticity around what they're like, oh, hey, I would love to eat this in a video, but I actually don't like it.
Starting point is 00:39:11 I don't like that, so I have to pass. But maybe for her, it's like, oh, my gosh, I love that. This is a dream deal. Yay. Okay. That's fair. Fair. Fair.
Starting point is 00:39:19 I have another PSA. In case you're traveling and you have a long delay at an airport, I saw that we're allowed to put hands. hammocks up at the airport. Like if if there's a pole or area where you can string a hammock up, you're allowed to do it. The TSC confirmed TSC. The TSA confirmed this. What does TSA stand for? Transportation Safety Administration. Wait, really? I don't know. That's what I'm guessing. Okay. Wait, where would I put a hammock up at the airport? Between pillars while waiting for flights. you're trying to like sleep there okay when I go to Ecuador in a couple weeks I have a really long
Starting point is 00:40:03 layover at this airport in Ecuador once I get there and it's going to kind of be the middle of the night and I was like well what am I going to do luckily the hotel has or the airport has a hotel attached but I could also just take a hammock I just am thinking about I don't want to sleep on the floor that's fair I'm thinking about the national airport and I'm like where would I put a hammock up. Pillar to pillar. But I'm trying to think of where are two pillars, like where are two pillars that are close enough that I wouldn't be weird.
Starting point is 00:40:35 Okay. Transportation Security Administration. What did I say? Association. Administration. Oh, I did? Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:40:42 Nailed it. What would you have thought it stood for? Because I was just guessing based off. I don't know. When you said transportation, my head I go, duh. Yeah, because TSA. I was thinking that. I was thinking that could stand for anything.
Starting point is 00:40:56 Teamwork, Society of America. Yeah. What? Teen. Troulesome. I don't know. Troulesome safety aviation. Yes.
Starting point is 00:41:08 It could be anything. Okay. Yeah. Look at you. I saw something recently. I guess this is a PSA too. Oh, so many PSAs. Wow.
Starting point is 00:41:17 What was our first PSA? Oh, check what you reposted on Instagram. Pack a hammock when you. when you travel just in case. That's in case. Which my son went to church camp this summer and he came back with a hammock. So now we've got one because otherwise. He bought it at church camp?
Starting point is 00:41:33 Yeah. Huh. Bought a hammock. Okay, well, you better pack that hammock. Now I've got to, now I'm going to take it to Ecuador. Maybe learn how to set it up before you get to the airport. And then now the third PSA, which you got. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:46 So apparently there was an etiquette expert that said you should not congratulate people on getting engaged. Why? And I agree with this. I've talked about this. I don't know what I want here before, but do you know what I'm going to say? Now that I mean, I asked why and then when you quickly just said that you've talked about this before, I do remember you saying and I guess I kind of agree with it, but I also feel like, okay, it's a little ridiculous. Yeah. I mean, if you say congratulations, people, my feelings on this are when people say congratulations, they're, they mean well and I get all of that. But I also agree. with what this person is saying where she's saying congratulations can imply that the engagement
Starting point is 00:42:28 is an achievement and it's not necessarily like an achievement that I've earned this thing. It's more of just something that's happened. And the reason that I felt this a long time ago is my friend was telling me before I was engaged. My friend was telling me her friend got engaged and she said I have never gotten more comments or attention on any post I've ever posted on my social media since I've gotten in, since I posted my engagement. And she was a good, it's so weird because I've done so much with my life.
Starting point is 00:43:02 And I've done all these things and I've traveled to all these places and I've achieved all of this stuff in work and in school. And I am a good friend and all these things in my life. But then this is the thing that people are most excited about or are, again, congratulating me or giving me the most attention for. Yeah, I get that. People are just excited for you. Yes.
Starting point is 00:43:24 People are pumped, but I get it. Listen, if I end up with the handyman, y'all can congratulate me all you want. Well, in the comments of this post, I think people were like on your side being like, oh, get over it. Like, it's not that big of a deal. But I do get the sentiment.
Starting point is 00:43:39 She said you should say things like, I'm happy for you best wishes to express excitement without the connotation of congratulations. Okay, that I can get on board with. It's just reframing it in a way that doesn't make it seem like, oh, you finally have achieved, like, what women are supposed to do. She said getting married is significant. However, achievements are typically efforts that require skill or accomplishment, like a career milestone or completing a personal goal. So just some thought.
Starting point is 00:44:09 I like it. Just some thought out there. You can take it. You can leave it. You could think about it sometimes or never. Behind every night spent making the kids' lunches, there's a lot of suspense. Will they finally eat the veggies? Will the pastos survive the first bite?
Starting point is 00:44:31 Will the lunchbox come home empty, half full, or come home at all? And will you finish episode 8 before you're done slicing the cucumbers?

Starting point is 00:48:27 I'm so sorry. I'm seeing a reading of Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes by Audra McDonald's at the Wonderland Bookstore on 14th. That's crazy. I went to the Wonderland Bookstore yesterday, and I heard Nora Jones do a reading of Zero Dark 30. No way. You have to come to the last bookstore, though.

Listen to artists on artists on artists on artists on the IHeard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I do have a gift idea.
Starting point is 00:49:17 This isn't so much a PSA. It's just something sweet that my friend told me about that I thought I would pass along to anybody else. My friend recently went on a family beach vacation and she had inspo too from something else she had seen someone post, but they had their whole family there. It was a reunion. There was a beach trip and they were texting a lot of things back and forth. And at the beginning of the trip, she told everybody, hey, treat this text thread as like our memories. So if there were any inside jokes, like go ahead and throw them on the thread, any pictures you want to share, put them in this family text thread.
Starting point is 00:49:53 And then after the trip was over, she had the text thread printed and put into a book. And the grandma of her family, her, I don't know if it's her mom's mom or her dad's mom, one of the grandmothers was like in charge of the entire trip and like rented the beach house
Starting point is 00:50:11 and paid for most everything. And they printed the book and then gave it to the grandma as a gift. But I would assume everybody on the trip might want a little memory like that, I thought it was really cute, but you've got to make sure your texts are, like, fun. But some people's family text threads are really fun to read through, and you can kind of relive the entire trip through the text thread. That's so creative.
Starting point is 00:50:34 And the pictures that were on there. Isn't that really sweet and special? You might have to give a PSA when you're telling people about the text thread to keep it. Well, maybe depending on your family. I was going to say keep it PG, but your family might. Yeah. So people, it might not really matter. just if they're, I think it's just inside jokes or special things. And that's why she did,
Starting point is 00:50:55 she didn't tell them all what it was going to be for, but she was, he told everybody to be engaged and to. Yeah. Yeah. Share quotes or inside jokes or, oh, this was so funny when this happened today. Or, oh, here's a group shot of our family. And then that way, instead of compiling pictures and having to put everything together, it all lived in the text thread. And then it was printed out. Yeah. As a little coffee table book. I love that gift idea. And I want to do that.
Starting point is 00:51:27 We're going on a trip, a big family trip next summer. So I think I... Right, give everybody a heads up. Yeah. Be like, don't tell them you or didn't do the book, but be like, I need our text started to be epic. Yeah, so say funny things. Yeah, be funny.
Starting point is 00:51:40 Lead by example. You show them. I have to be funny. You show them, cat. Speaking of gifts and special things, we've got our Hasbro moment. Here's the email that we received. it's from Bree in Boston. Hey, Amy and Kat.
Starting point is 00:51:55 I'm so excited to tell you about a very special educator at our school, Mr. Hyatt. Mr. Hyatt is our school counselor, and he is genuinely one of the most incredible people you could ever hope to find in education. Our district serves many children who have experienced significant adversity and often face challenges that most adults will never have to endure. But I truly believe Mr. Hyatt was called to this work. I've never seen someone with more patience, kindness, or compassion. We have an incredible team of educators at our school,
Starting point is 00:52:25 but the way Mr. Hyatt meets students exactly where they are de-escalates difficult situations with such grace and helps them feel seen and safe is an incredible gift. Not only to those students, but to our entire school community. When I saw you were teasing, partnering with Hasbro to celebrate educators, I knew I had to tell you about him. Mr. Hyatt is famous around our school for always having games in his office. Sometimes they're simply there to bring a smile to a student's face, but more often, they're a way to create a safe space for a child to calm down, let their guard down, or begin opening up about what's really going on.
Starting point is 00:53:02 He's also known for some high-stakes monopoly games in the lunchroom that students absolutely love him for. In a world where it feels like so many people are living on a short fuse, especially in education, I just want to recognize someone who shows up every single day with endless. patience and a heart for the kids he serves. He meets them where they are, walks alongside them and helps them become who they're capable of being. Our entire school is better because of Mr. Hyatt, and we are so grateful for him and for every educator and staff member who faithfully shows up for our students each day. Thank you for celebrating these amazing people. Love the show. Bree in Boston. So, Bree, isn't this special? I thought, oh, I just saw watering cat's eyes. I was like, is she going to? I'm not crying.
Starting point is 00:53:48 but I wouldn't be surprised because it's a counselor well yeah that and just you're you know eight and a half months pregnant and cry at a lot so thank you for telling us about mr. Hyatt when I was reading the email I was thinking of Theo of golden I know you haven't finished that book yet but I think of how I pictured Theo looking in my mind which I really have no idea what he looks like and I have no idea what Mr. Hyatt looks like looks like but I'm kind of of picturing just this beloved person. Yeah. That makes a real impact on people.
Starting point is 00:54:25 And Hasbro has generously given us gift cards to hand out to teachers. And so Bree, Mr. Hyatt, will be getting $500 from Hasbro for some more games and other supplies. Bring more joy to kids' lives. I want to get in in one of those Monopoly game. six Monopoly games. Oh, do you think you could win? Absolutely not, but I am a new lover of Monopoly and so I just love that. I mean, I love a educator or specifically a counselor, which I think is even more important for kids to feel safe with, that they're having fun with him and they have like, I mean, that's, again, a memory they're going to have as we played Monopoly in the lunchroom with
Starting point is 00:55:11 Mr. Hyatt. And then I felt safe enough to go to his office and be able to talk to him because I knew he was somebody I could trust. Yeah. So love celebrating teachers and counselors. Yes. And Bree, thank you for the email. If you all have a teacher, if you're listening right now and you're like, we have someone that's very similar to Mr. Hyatt or another educator.
Starting point is 00:55:34 I guess they don't have to be a teacher. They could be a counselor. Just someone that works in education. You can send us an email. Hey, they're at feeling things podcast.com. They may end up on a future episode and they may be. a recipient of the Hasbro moment. So thank you Hasbro. Thank you, Mr. Hyatt, and thank you, Bree. You can also leave us a voicemail about someone that would be cool. So far, we've just had emails,
Starting point is 00:55:58 but you can call 877-207-207-2077 and leave your own little voicemail about the special teacher, educator as well. And we're just so thankful for Hasbro over these last few weeks, and we've got several more coming up where we're highlighting their games today. We've got Candyland, Shoots and Ladders and Hi-Ho Cherio. Which is, High Ho Cherio is my childhood, I feel like. I feel like Candy Land for me. Really? For sure.
Starting point is 00:56:30 Yes. I mean, Hi-Ho-Therio and Shoots and Letters, they all are. They're so nostalgic. Which I love that you said you're becoming obsessed with Monopoly now. But did you, you played as a kid? I never played until this. past fall. Wow. And then I got a Monopoly board for my birthday. Because I was like, wait, this game's really fun. Oh, that's interesting that you didn't play at your house as a kid, but you played
Starting point is 00:56:54 all the other ones. Yeah. That was just not. I think maybe because that game was longer, we had Candy Land. You can play a couple rounds, you know? Yeah. Versus Monopoly. But I do think it's so important to celebrate all the little wins, not just the big ones. I've been focusing on the little wins in my life more recently. Yeah, I think so too. I think with my kid going back to school, my son, it's kind of crazy that now my daughter is starting a little bit of her college career, but my son just started high school and it's like, okay, celebrating all the wins, like even just him finishing his homework for the night. Like I would be like, yes, we did it. When he shows kindness to others, like I love seeing like his caring heart, celebrating those moments and
Starting point is 00:57:39 reading another book. Oh my gosh, summer reading. we had to cram that in at the end, but I think it kind of jump started him getting into some books. Those moments deserve to all be recognized, and as a mom want to make sure to do that too. Yeah, and I think Candy Land, hi-ho, Cherio, shoots and ladders, all of those games are good ways to celebrate little wins
Starting point is 00:58:01 because it's not just who wins the game. The real prize and reward is spending time with people. Around the table. Yeah. Without devices. Yeah. Yeah. So if you're looking for a simple way to say,
Starting point is 00:58:12 celebrate the kids in your life. Well, you can find these Hasbro games at your local Walmart, or you can go to the link in today's show notes. It'll be in there, and it'll bring a little more joy into your home. I was going to hold up the Candy Land box, but my cat is literally sitting on it right now. Maybe she wants to play. I think she's telling me. She was sitting on Ohio Cherio earlier, so maybe she's just like, Mom, I want to play. This is nostalgic for me. Like, And playing it with my kids. This is definitely they've elevated it. I was going to say those pieces are bigger.
Starting point is 00:58:50 This is way cooler. Yeah. Oh, we're going to be busting this out, celebrate little wins around our kitchen table. Yeah. Okay, I know we were talking about Theo of Golden, and we know he's an older man. I thought we kind of closed with something that I saw that was so stinking cute.
