many of us love coffee. Like

0:38

the living for it type of love. Some

like it hot, some like it iced

0:45

like it with a cold foam topping.

2:33

in my kitchen at my home

2:35

I'm really excited to have this

2:37

2:39

2:45

2:47

I go yeah People

2:51

2:54

think they were like in yeah Happy

3:01

Wednesday everyone San

3:11

Diego baby. Oh take me back.

3:13

I know what that long enough

3:16

It was a magical magical

3:18

weekend magical weekend So Brie

3:20

and I for President's Day

3:22

weekend We went to San Diego

3:24

with our family Artem couldn't make it cuz he

3:26

was on the Dancing with the Stars tour But

3:29

Brie had her whole fam which was so fun

3:31

to have Brian around. I know I feel like

3:33

it was the first Family

3:35

vacation we've taken in a very long time very

3:37

long time So the reason why

3:39

we went was our best friend Jamie who

3:41

was on the podcast Remember we were

3:44

recorded from Sirius XM in New York City a

3:46

few months ago. Her dad was turning

3:48

70, right? So her whole family

3:50

they were flying in from New York Headed

3:53

to San Diego and we already have a few

3:55

of our best friends still there and

3:57

then Shauna who was also in that same

3:59

episode She's like, well, I'm gonna drive

4:01

down from slow with my family and then they're

4:04

like twins you better make it there So

4:06

we're like, you know what? Let's have a best

4:09

friends reunion with our kids because what we realized

4:11

We've been best friends for 20 years But

4:14

when everyone started having babies, we've never had our

4:16

kids under the same roof at one time yet.

4:18

I think it's 22 years 22 Yeah,

4:21

shoot you're right, but so

4:23

crazy and for me, you know

4:26

We'll get more into it But you know when

4:29

we were all talking about it and we were planning on

4:31

going I'm one of those people and I know you're the

4:33

same You always look at the

4:35

logistics, right? Oh gosh I got to drive to the

4:37

airport got to get a rental car like where

4:40

we gonna stay like what kind of flights what

4:42

times? What am I looking at right? So

4:44

it already starts to be this negative experience.

4:46

I know the point you're like, okay Now

4:48

I'm exhausted thinking about the logistics. I just

4:50

don't think I'm gonna go sometimes I

4:52

do that, right? I'm so happy that

4:54

this trip I ignored the logistics. I

4:56

didn't care what it was gonna take to

4:59

get there I'm like I'm getting there so all

5:01

our kids could be together and meet Some

5:04

not for the first time but just being the

5:06

same group for the first time Yeah, and I'm

5:08

so happy I did it because sometimes I can

5:10

let the anxiety of Planning

5:12

everything get in the way of just

5:15

like what can be really fun and special and

5:18

I was like that I Now

5:20

know for the future so I cannot

5:22

let myself do that Brie. Yes, because

5:25

it was just amazing. I agree

5:27

well, and you and I had such an Aggressive

5:30

travel past like month like

5:32

every weekend we were gone and that's

5:34

where I was like me Super Bowl was a tough

5:38

It would have oh my gosh. That's why

5:40

I didn't get drunk bitch. I

5:42

mean you literally came home feeling great How

5:45

is that an issue? Jeez

5:48

Doesn't mean that it made work less so

5:50

there is less to do I still had

5:52

a lot to do I was actually after

5:54

Super Bowl Mentally and physically exhausted. I know

5:56

I'm just kidding you and I she wants

5:58

to give me shit I was

6:00

like, damn. But anyways, I

6:03

was feeling the same as really like a bit of

6:05

anxiety, but I'm like, I know I have to go

6:07

there. And then it just, I

6:09

text Artem and I go, Artem, we have to

6:11

plan like a week family vacation because there was

6:14

so much I wanted to do and see. And

6:16

if some of you are new fans of Brie

6:18

and I, Brie and I, we were born

6:20

in Hillcrest in San Diego. We

6:22

grew up in a small town outside of

6:24

there until second grade in Brawley,

6:27

Beatown baby, charming town.

6:30

And then we, that's when we moved then to Scottsdale, Arizona.

6:32

And then we were in Scottsdale, Arizona

6:34

from third grade to seniors in high

6:36

school. And literally the week

6:39

after graduation, Brie and I packed up

6:41

our car. We shared a car

6:43

then and we drove to San Diego. Malibu

6:46

baby. Yeah. Mom Tan

6:48

Malibu. We were like, yeah. And it

6:50

had a sunroof. We were like, yeah.

6:52

Cause I know. So my mom gave

6:55

us this car and then I was

6:57

seeing this guy. And I

6:59

went to his house of course too. And he was

7:01

staying, he was still living with his mom and

7:04

I come out and do you remember someone did

7:06

a hidden run? Yeah. And

7:08

the roof was bad. I was not happy. Well,

7:10

could you imagine me? And then instead of me, can you

7:12

imagine me? I share a car with my twin and she

7:14

just goes to a guy's house and it's

7:17

like, I didn't do it. I didn't though.

7:19

But then you remember I drove on the freeway cause I

7:21

didn't know. And then I went the next day when I

7:23

went. She should have to the dorms. I'm like, what the

7:25

hell? I know. My life. And

7:29

then when I went to, I don't know where I went

7:31

to try to get it fixed, they're like, you

7:33

can't be driving this car. There's no hitch

7:36

on the front of the, cause it got

7:38

smashed. The hood. They're like, the hood could

7:40

have smacked up. I don't

7:42

know. Whatever. We

7:45

know nothing. Yeah. Right.

7:48

So then I was literally in

7:50

San Diego up until, let's see,

7:52

I moved out of San Diego,

7:54

you know, at the time for personal

7:56

reasons it was 2018, 2019. 2018

8:00

well, I don't know when you well,

8:02

yeah, so no, no, no, I was still in

8:04

San Diego though I was doing half Tampa half

8:06

San Diego. I never I officially moved out of

8:08

San Diego. It was 2018

8:11

going back Breen. I both said the smell

8:13

and I think it's like, you know, you

8:15

have the smell seen the ocean And

8:18

SD will always have the best I mean when

8:20

we're driving in and you actually said it When

8:24

I saw the Denny's I'm like Denny's

8:26

I know yeah, right right before San

8:29

Clemente it was I loved it So Breen I

8:32

we flew into the OC and then they went

8:34

a day ahead of Matteo and I But

8:37

it was just that drive being on

8:39

the five freeway like coming from Newport

8:41

Beach Down to SD

8:43

and we were over more in the Encinitas

8:45

area But I just

8:47

was like, oh my gosh Like Breen I

8:49

totally like called each other the Denny's and

8:52

then like going through Oceanside I'm like there's

8:54

still traffic in Oceanside This has been

8:56

the thing like we've tried to figure out for decades

8:58

Like why is it like we're all like

9:01

just being able to floor it and

9:03

then right in Oceanside before you hit

9:05

Camp Pendleton It's just like bumper to

9:07

bumper and then magically just opens

9:09

up when you hit what's right after

9:12

Oceanside Before Carl or it's

9:14

Carl's bad, right? Yeah, I think maybe

9:16

two because the freeway going to I

9:18

don't know the 73 but I thought that and

9:21

I'm like, how am I seeing no one go

9:23

up on that ramp? And now it's magically opened

9:25

never know I never know what's all that but

9:27

what was crazy too and I feel like everyone

9:29

can relate to this when you're like going Back

9:31

to like a place that feels like home you

9:33

get excited to see the shitholes like

9:35

when I went shit holes Well, like

9:38

I see what I see now, you're gonna bury

9:40

some businesses. So what? When

9:42

I see the things that have been there forever,

9:44

okay, they're not all it holes with the hole

9:47

in the wall Yeah, let's take that shit hole

9:49

part out when I will sub there was

9:51

some things I saw I would now in

9:53

days not going. Well, let's call it a hole in the wall

9:55

So and then when I see the

9:58

new stuff never get excited. It's those other things I'm

10:00

just like, bring

10:02

back the memories. That's what it's all

10:04

about. It takes you back. It

10:06

takes you back. I definitely can't wait to go

10:08

back and just go do Balboa Park, head

10:11

up my spots in PB, downtown La

10:13

Jolla, go into Little Italy. I absolutely

10:16

love seeing it in Sanitas. We'll always

10:18

want to stay there. It was really

10:20

nice being right by quick drive and

10:22

flight from the OC over to Napa.

10:25

But Mateo and I actually,

10:27

we came home a day early than expected

10:30

because then everyone got head cold. Tis

10:33

the season, right? Right. But before he got

10:35

bad, I was like, I just want to

10:37

travel and get home. And it was easy

10:39

to get home. Because

10:42

then I was like, what if he, I hadn't slept for a

10:44

few nights. And then I was like, what if he gets more

10:47

sick? This will make it miserable. And now he's

10:49

just so perfectly fine. So it was a good

10:51

call, Mom. I felt it was

10:53

good. And even though it was sad, but it was

10:55

good to get him home. Yeah, we, Brian and I

10:57

were just like, it was crazy. It didn't

11:00

feel like enough time. No. And we even did a

11:02

lot. Like Brian and I, you guys did a lot.

11:04

You went to Legoland. OK, you guys.

11:06

So we did Legoland. It was our

11:08

first time ever going. And I'm sure people see Legoland,

11:10

I think there's a couple throughout the US. I

11:13

had no idea what to expect. OK, yeah,

11:15

Legos. But I don't know. It

11:18

was amazing. It's a lot. What I

11:20

love is a lot of hands-on activities.

11:22

There is this one. So it's like

11:24

these fire trucks. There are like four.

11:26

Yeah. But your whole family goes in them.

11:29

And someone has to pump. Well, two people. And

11:32

you're in a competition, right? And

11:34

then you jump out and you try to get the fire

11:36

hose for the burning building. Then you've got to jump in.

11:38

And then they'll tell you go again. And I

11:40

don't know. I told Brian, because we were

11:42

watching some families, I go, we can't lose. And

11:46

he's like, Bri. I go, no, we can't lose.

11:48

So we get on and Birdie wanted to pump with them.

11:50

And I instantly was like, man,

11:52

I have to let her pump. But we

11:55

still did good, because Brian, right? But

11:57

then Birdie goes, well, mom, you can pump on the way

11:59

back. I looked up. and he goes, don't. We

12:02

both went, we smoked everyone.

12:05

And I go, yeah. And

12:08

he was just like, people clapped actually.

12:10

Oh, did they? Oh, yeah, because I think they were

12:12

like impressed. Yeah. And Buddy was protected right then. Did

12:14

you set a record? I mean, I would have went

12:16

for setting a record that no one could beat. But

12:18

I told Brian I loved that about Legoland. I felt

12:20

there was a lot of like family interaction. I can't

12:22

wait. I told that was the one thing. Artem's like,

12:25

you have to wait for me. So Artem

12:27

and Kay and I will do it as a fam. And

12:29

there was some rides that felt bad because I'm like,

12:31

Buddy could do them, but just height wise, he wasn't

12:33

there yet. But Brian and Bernie would go.

12:35

He said wait till 40 inches, right? I feel like

12:38

40 inches would be perfect. Now, there

12:40

was still a lot for Betty to do. A

12:42

lot. But there was a couple rides

12:45

he really wanted to do, and he couldn't go on

12:47

because he wasn't 40. That

12:49

video you have of him, it's so cute. He's

12:51

on one of the individual horses, like a

12:53

jousting thing. That was just so cute. Brian

12:56

said I lost mom of the year on that one. Yeah.

13:00

Oh, shoot. That's right. Because you're supposed to be

13:03

four and older, but Buddy was tall enough for

13:05

it. And so I go to Buddy and

13:07

I go, Buddy, they're going to ask you your age. Just

13:10

say four. And I mean,

13:12

come on, kids almost four. No, it's

13:14

not bad. So we walk up, and the

13:16

guy's like, so how old are you, Bud? Everyone

13:18

calls boys like Buds, right? Or Buddies.

13:21

And he looks and he goes, and it kind of got quiet.

13:23

And I was like looking the other way. Oh my gosh. So

13:26

he just put him out there by himself. He

13:28

probably needed your eye contact for

13:30

support. No, because we'd know. And

13:34

he goes, four. He's

13:37

staring at the guy and the guy's like, get on. And I'm

13:39

like, oh, Brian's shaking his head at

13:41

me. I'm like, whatever. He's

13:43

fine. And he loved

13:46

it. The jousting horse. Whatever.

13:49

Oh my gosh. It was fine,

13:51

very fine. And so and Buddy's a

13:54

big boy. And advanced in

13:56

that. And he loved it. He

13:58

did. It was so cute. See if you could. at

14:00

first because he didn't see you guys but you were

14:02

filming him. He's like, uh, work. I

14:05

felt that. I cried last 10 times

14:07

that day. I just saw many different

14:09

things. Well, yeah. Just with

14:11

Brian, because you guys all know Brian has social

14:13

anxiety, like big crowds. There's

14:16

like just a couple things where it got

14:18

just like a lot of people and just

14:20

Brian's like, it's fun to watch. But

14:22

there was a couple different things. We just had so much fun.

14:24

Like the ninja one, you go like this

14:27

and you're like trying to get things, but your

14:30

arms would hurt, right? But buddy, we just couldn't

14:32

stop laughing because he was like, but

14:34

just you're watching your kids in these, I don't

14:37

know. So situations and it's my first time

14:39

seeing what they would do. Yeah. So it

14:41

just makes me get go. Yeah. And makes

14:44

me. Oh, for sure. Big time. We, I

14:46

loved it. I recommend Legoland. Yeah. San Diego's

14:48

Legoland is very fun. I'm really, you

14:51

want to know is really cute last night when Arta Mateo

14:53

and I were grocery shopping. It

14:55

was the first time we were in the shopping

14:57

carts and he goes, oh, hi Ford. And

15:00

Ford, but, and I'm like, what?

15:02

And a little boy from his class was also

15:04

getting pushed on the cart with his dad. And

15:07

it was just the first time we've been out.

15:09

Mateo said something about a classmate. And

15:11

then so he sat when we were talking

15:13

and then he goes, bye Ford, see you

15:15

tomorrow. Because he doesn't say like

15:17

the D part. And then,

15:19

and Ford,

15:21

he's shy like Mateo. And then when they

15:24

are looking for, he goes, bye Mateo. Like

15:26

so loud. Sorry, it popped in my head

15:28

because it was the cutest thing. And you

15:30

know, like he'll always talk about buddy and

15:32

birdie. So cute. And guess what else he's

15:34

been wanting to do? What? Wrestle

15:36

a lot. Oh yeah. I mean, he

15:39

keeps running behind me and jumping

15:41

on me. And then when Artem got home, he goes, wrestle. And

15:43

he goes, what? Yeah. Brian,

15:46

I feel like was the rock star

15:48

of the weekend. I mean, how much

15:50

wrestling he did with the boys. I

15:52

know. It was cute though. It was

15:54

cute. Everyone loved it. And Brian loves

15:56

it. Like, that's Brian's way to have

15:58

shown affection. Right. You know. Like he

16:00

loves that and he thinks it's so cute the

16:02

way they're all trying to figure it out Yeah, and

16:04

the stuff they can do but

16:06

it was you know Brian He was like cuz you know

16:09

Brian like he travels a lot So sometimes for him trips

16:11

can be not that they're inconvenient

16:13

just exhausting, right? And so he

16:16

just he even said like seeing

16:18

the sunset every evening He goes

16:20

there's just something about looking out

16:23

and it's just water clouds and

16:25

a Sun. Yeah all natural Elements

16:28

and you don't see buildings like we're lucky

16:30

the area we are we were in moonlight Beach.

16:32

There was no boat nothing Oh And

16:35

beautiful there beautiful and he just said

16:37

like that just does something to you.

16:39

It really does I mean, I never

16:42

thought I would ever leave San Diego

16:45

Beach Like I thought I'd be a PB

16:47

girl for life and

16:49

it was mainly because of that

16:51

sunset There's something about feed

16:53

in the sand looking out at the water and

16:55

just watching the Sun disappear

16:58

behind it And

17:00

every now then you're trying to look for

17:02

the green flash. Oh, yeah, but I could

17:04

hear everyone mumbling. Yeah Right.

17:07

I feel like that's when you get the endless Sun in the

17:09

summertime is like your best bet on seeing the green flash

17:11

but It always

17:14

did something to me just made me Happy

17:16

to be alive and no matter where I was

17:18

that in life or how much money I had

17:21

like every time I'd had my Day with that

17:23

sunset. I was just like loved it. I loved

17:25

where it lived and I Think

17:28

too when you notice a lot of people

17:30

majority not everyone but that lived the beach

17:32

life like they come across as very simple

17:34

people right but I feel like because not

17:36

only are they getting a lot of vitamin

17:38

D but they get something from that and It's

17:41

just makes you feel like when you end all your evenings,

17:44

you're like, yeah, see I'm good I'm

17:46

good with whatever I have. I mean when

17:48

you look at people, yeah for sure you

17:50

live by the beach They're definitely more easygoing

17:52

laid back people for sure. Yeah, great

17:55

Yeah, Brian that was his favorite thing. Did

17:57

you know I'm always ask the kids like when a trip

17:59

stand and we're driving back to the airport like what

18:01

was your favorite thing and I of course asked

18:03

Brian to and so

18:05

and his was watching the Sun sets you know one night we

18:07

got to see dolphins oh I love

18:09

when they do something out of the water I mean the kids

18:11

were like couldn't believe it yeah like they were

18:13

like oh my gosh it was

18:16

magical magic I was just like oh my god

18:18

what was your favorite part of the weekend I

18:20

mean I just think being with our best friends

18:22

when we all had a gathering a barbecue at our

18:24

house like the beach house we all

18:27

rented I feel like chatting with

18:29

everyone seeing our kids run around you

18:32

know Jamie like her daughter Reese

18:34

and birdie just instantly clicking yeah

18:36

like I mean they became BFFs within that

18:38

was so cute and it's like the way

18:40

I felt like I connected with her like

18:42

so instant yeah and then to see our

18:44

daughters instantly connect yeah and now they're gonna

18:46

be pen pals I mean even birdie was

18:48

like I think for my birthday I want

18:50

either you to fly Reese out here or we can

18:52

go fly and see her oh

18:54

yay New York trip I know it's what I said

18:57

I'm like oh go that but she was like

18:59

I don't know I kind of would like her to be a

19:01

Napa but it

19:03

so for me that just was really

19:07

special oh and I think every

19:09

time we're with our best friends I'm always I

19:11

always walk away and I'm like why don't we

19:13

all live by each other I know even Brian

19:15

brought that up like we don't even like cuz

19:18

we're all so crazy close so crazy close and

19:20

even like with the Golden's right yeah

19:22

he was just it's

19:25

so easy with them he's like I

19:27

enjoyed them so much and he loved

19:29

Jamie's parents and brother he just

19:32

had a great time and he's like it's hard

19:34

when you connect with these people and they're your

19:36

best friends but yet you

19:38

don't live by them and it's not an everyday

19:40

experience you get that instead it's like we all

19:42

have to make it a vacation to enjoy it

19:44

he's like when life is so short why

19:47

don't we enjoy

19:49

this more he's like we should be able to

19:51

do that every weekend like that

19:53

should be a norm and he's like and I feel like

19:55

back in the day that was a norm for people but

19:57

now we all just live so far away from each

19:59

other And I think, too, it's all

20:02

of us just in career,

20:04

just took us to so many different places.

20:06

Then that's mainly what it is because I

20:08

thought we'd all be in San Diego together forever.

20:10

And we all thought that growing up. Right. I

20:13

wish one day we can have like this

20:15

kind of compound and then we can all

20:17

settle together. That would be the dream. Or

20:19

even just if we all lived in the

20:21

same city. Right. But

20:24

I look at all of our lives and I feel

20:26

like that's impossible. Totally. At

20:29

least for now. I mean, I don't know because

20:31

I was like, what would be the

20:33

place? San Diego. But realistically, we have to be

20:35

in Napa. And I know other people have to be

20:37

in their cities right now because of

20:39

the job. So when you really

20:42

look at it and that's like... We just got to

20:44

do more magical weekends like we just had. I know.

20:46

Just more trips to San Diego to take in. More

20:48

trips. I know there was so many, you know, they

20:50

have a brand new children's museum there that

20:53

has great reviews. Brian's like, ooh, let's

20:55

Diego to do for kids. It's like

reach for. But here you can actually reach

27:02

Bri, I say let's talk about some few

27:04

trending topics and then end with a little

27:06

inspiration affirmation. All right. What's trending? I would

27:08

love to know your thoughts on this. How

27:10

do you feel about sharing your location with

27:13

your partner? I mean,

27:15

I wouldn't care. Me either. I

27:17

mean, if Brian wanted to know

27:19

my location, I mean, I

27:22

guess, yeah, it wouldn't

27:24

bother me at all. What about you? Not

27:26

at all. You could have my location. I'm not

27:28

going to go for it. So it makes me

27:30

feel safer. Yeah. But

27:32

no, I mean, every time I get in

27:35

an Uber or anything that

27:37

where you could share times like Artem

27:39

and I are constantly pin dropping

27:42

each other anyways. Right.

27:44

So and I guess I'm not up to any amount.

27:47

How would I say I'm not up to no good. Yeah.

27:50

So well, what I would be interested is to

27:52

ask married people compared to people who are dating

27:54

or boyfriend, girlfriend. Heck no. Well,

27:57

or boyfriend, girlfriend, because this is what's interesting.

28:00

As a married couple, maybe there's a married couple

28:02

would disagree with me. As a married couple, I

28:05

don't care but would I feel different if like

28:07

Brian was my boyfriend and he asked me for my location would

28:10

I say, oh that's a red flag. Yeah.

28:12

But even though in marriage it doesn't feel like a red flag. I

28:15

think it is too much for dating. Yeah

28:18

but what about you guys have boyfriend girlfriend of two years?

28:21

I mean I don't know I still think that's weird because.

28:23

Isn't that weird how that's weird but it's not weird if

28:25

you're married? Well because when you're married you're taking a vow

28:27

and you're like saying I'm an I'm going

28:30

to share this life with

28:32

someone and you're more

28:34

than likely building a family. It's just

28:37

it feels more like safety like you say because

28:39

you've already made that vow and like it's just

28:41

us but dating I don't

28:43

know. That's weird and like look

28:45

you could be partners. You don't have to be married

28:47

but like if your partner's a whatever and it's like

28:49

a marriage location's fine

28:52

but even boyfriend girlfriend of two

28:54

years. I know. I

28:56

just and I guess it's the way to

28:58

present it. Right. If it's like hey

29:01

I heard like a lot of stuff is going

29:03

on I think we should share each other's location

29:05

just for safety. All right.

29:07

Yeah. But if he's like hey

29:11

like I want your location like and

29:13

in his head to see where you're bopping around okay that's

29:15

weird. Yeah that's a red flag. That's

29:18

a red flag. That's like jealousy right? Right.

29:21

But also if

29:24

he's feeling that. Then

29:26

there's trust issues and then if there's trust issues

29:28

no relationships going to work. Right.

29:31

So you got to really take a step back and

29:33

look at your relationship. Is there trust issues? If you're

29:35

someone who wants locations of where your guy's going or

29:38

your girl's going then obviously you have trust issues.

29:40

You don't trust that person and that's a whole

29:42

different thing. Yeah. Why give

29:44

yourself that anxiety at life? Unknowing. No

29:47

thank you. Yeah. I'd rather

29:49

just date around. What else is trending? Ooh 50 pounds

29:52

of gum collected from red rocks when

29:54

they cleaned it up in Colorado. 50

29:56

pounds. It's gross.

29:59

I know. Which groups me

30:01

as wire that many people spitting them

30:03

on the ground, especially in a beautiful

30:05

say like Colorado. Or. Anywhere.

30:07

It's disgusting. I see people put under

30:09

Lake Vostok are we are so rude

30:11

when or that anymore. And ensure that it's

30:13

not yours. A. Complete

30:16

like if you lose your gun there is adequate

30:18

to at that. Spitting out the garbage can. But.

30:20

Also like gum doesn't decompose. Re

30:22

obviously right? Yeah, So. Like

30:24

people, be mindful of that. Like your nature

30:26

when of his. You know they say when

30:29

you swallow gum it gets like stuck on

30:31

your side sake your stomach say yeah I

30:33

think how many more and it does do

30:35

damage him So deftly. I used

30:37

to say it. Does. He comes

30:39

30:42

I hope so. Because. That

30:44

come out to. Roughly.

30:48

Near. Just maybe

30:50

we'll don't chew gum. I to be honest, I'm

30:52

now I feel like I should put up her

33:07

link and you guys buy offer. So she'll be

33:09

the top seller of her food. Dodo does need

33:11

to buy some. You do. I need to buy

33:13

my thin mints and put them in the freezer.

33:15

Mmm that's my favorite. Mine

33:17

is the Samoas. Oh those are so

33:19

good too. Coconut on top. There's nothing

33:21

touches thin mints in the freezer. That's

33:24

it. Yeah. That's the jam. Well and it is funny

33:26

like people are like oh you got the mint. Yeah.

33:29

It's like those are probably the most

33:31

right. Thin mints for sure the most

33:33

popular. Don't you think majority people keep them in

33:35

the refrigerator or freezer. I feel like

33:37

everyone says it. Yeah all the

33:40

time. It's the thing. Yeah and then

33:42

you could put like I'm gonna see

33:44

Mateo I bet will like this but then when you

33:46

have a scoop of ice cream and then you put

33:48

your frozen thin mints in there with a little bit

33:50

of chocolate syrup. Boom you're like a gourmet chef. And

33:52

just so everyone knows when you see

33:55

honestly though. Honestly. And then get like a little

33:58

mint leaf. Boom. Look at

34:00

you. Damn. Cheater in the kitchen.

34:02

Call me a baker. Yeah, right.

34:05

Faux baker. When

34:07

you see those Girl Scouts stands in front of the stores,

34:09

just know. They're going to say, oh, we take

34:11

Venmo. We have a QR code. Oh, it happened

34:13

to me at Whole Foods. I know. Yeah. You

34:16

can't say, sorry, I have no cash on me. They're going to be like. I

34:18

just recalled. And I was like, I can't cheat on birds. This,

34:20

this, this. Joke, I don't know if they take Venmo,

34:22

but they have a QR code. Oh, I'm sure they take Venmo. If

34:25

I had a daughter and Girl Scouts, we'd set up her

34:27

Venmo. Like, there you go. Just scan it.

34:30

You're good. Just kidding. But it is

34:32

cute because the money, it's not, they

34:34

don't get to keep it. So no one,

34:36

it doesn't go in their personal bank accounts. It

34:38

literally goes to their troops so they can go

34:41

camping. They can go on adventures and everything's educational.

34:43

Which I love. I think it's so nice to

34:45

have stuff like that. Can you tell me at

34:47

first, I was like, oh no, we got

34:50

to sell these cookies. And

34:52

then like when I actually see what it teaches the

34:54

girls, like they had to do a whole class on

34:56

like how you speak to strangers. Like when you're at

34:58

the stand and the things you say and the

35:01

etiquette and the manners and so,

35:03

and then when you find out where the money goes

35:05

and what these girls already do, community

35:07

service, like we went and gave Valentine's

35:10

to all the veterans. They go

35:12

sing carols. Like they do a lot in the

35:14

community, which is so cool. So

35:16

I mean, I love that she's been a part of

35:18

Girl Scouts. It takes up some time, but it's so

35:21

amazing what she's learning about community service

35:23

and how much they help. It's adorable.

35:26

Oh, they made pancakes for all the

35:28

firefighters. Oh, see that stuff is so

35:30

just smart to have. Especially if you're

35:33

like Girl Scouts or Boy Scouts,

35:35

I feel especially if your child

35:37

isn't in a sport, like get

35:40

them in one of the Scouts

35:42

because they still learn discipline, empathy,

35:46

you know, organization, life skills, life skills. I

35:48

mean, Birdie had even an etiquette class, so

35:50

they're sitting there learning the board, the fork

35:52

and the spoon and the nights go. And

35:55

then what's cute is they get time just

35:57

as they're true. They all just hang

35:59

out. and they talk and it's

36:02

really neat to see because sometimes they'll go to the meetings and

36:04

help and then they'll sing songs But

36:07

you also see this little girlhood and

36:09

then for Boy Scouts this little boyhood and

36:12

they're now making friends outside of school And they

36:14

know they have these people to lean on and

36:16

it's really neat So if you're ever like thinking

36:18

about doing Girl Scouts do it. Yeah,

36:20

right. I buy my daughter's cookies Well

36:24

We've. How much have we talked about

the past few weeks of energy drained and

39:06

like you and I were like. Taking.

39:09

The steps backwards on like how did we

39:11

get so drains? Was it worth allows? rained

39:13

and we didn't set boundaries and so. I

39:16

need to start remembering that you

want my energy that the privileged

39:20

to have Solaris. How. My gonna

39:22

give it to you and what are

39:24

the circumstance exactly Cause I'm like guilty

of this and it's like a lot

39:28

of people are like sometimes I wasn't

39:31

blunt enough or I didn't said the

39:33

boundaries before. And because I don't want.

39:35

To be mean, Really? Then I

39:37

sacrificed. May. Energy and I get drained and yeah

39:39
