But we were just talking before Erica: It is my Jenn: we started recording about the weather and it's so gorgeous out. But like, what do we put on in the morning? Erica: Yeah, an old navy tank or a sweater. And Jenn: Correct. Erica: what's the answer, Jen? Yes. Jenn: Both. Put on both because Erica: Yeah. Jenn: inevitably you're gonna need both throughout the day. I mean my window well, my doors are all open, but probably by the time I'm done recording, I'm gonna need to go close them because it's gonna be like eighty five. So Erica: The question is do you still sweat in the sun? Are you good? Jenn: if it's I mean listen, if it's eighty five out, yeah, probably. Like if I'm out there for Erica: Okay, okay. Jenn: long enough eighty Erica: Okay. Jenn: is my like my sweet spot. Ideally I would like it to be even cooler than that. If I could live in jeans and a t shirt all year round, I would. Erica: Anytime it gets below seventy five it basically should be snowing. I can't live my life. I'm freezing. I need heated seats. Everything needs Jenn: Yeah. Yeah. Erica: to be on. I walk around in like Jenn: That's because you also keep your house at seventy eight. See I d I do not I do not. Erica: it's such a beautiful thing. It's so beautiful. Jenn: We're at like a constant seventy three, although the doors are open so nothing's on right now. Erica: what did you do this weekend, Jen? Jenn: what did I do this weekend? Erica: hate when that happens. You're like, I don't even know what I did. Jenn: I well Sunday well s okay, okay, no. We went out to went out to the river and then and had celebrated a birthday and then Saturday came back, I opened every single door in the house, I lit all the candles, I watched the Florida State game. Don't even get me started. I know you watched the tail end. You watched the tail end. And okay, Erica: it's the best. It's the best. Mhm. I know that was a bad ending. I it was a bad ending. Yeah. Jenn: can we talk about this? I'm pretty sure that is not a sports podcast. Erica: Sure, sport back to the sports podcast. Go ahead. Jenn: It's fine. But you Erica: Whoa Jenn: watched the end. Can we both agree Erica: Mm-hmm. Jenn: that they were two terrible calls at the end? Okay. That's all I needed. That's all I needed. It was ridiculous and Erica: a hundred percent it was. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Jenn: so unfortunate. And Erica: Yeah. Jenn: you know, it just I I and I can't. And and I Erica: Listen, I was I w Jenn: can't with Miami fans. They are the freaking worst. They're the worst. We can both agree on that. Erica: my god. I that's the one thing my husband always says. No, we can and my husband always says the best thing you could be is a good fan. Like it doesn't matter what team you're on, just just just be a good fan. Just be a good Jenn: It exactly. Exactly. Right. Erica: fan. Jenn: Cheer. Remember at the end of the day they're both both teams are boys. Like they're they're just Erica: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Jenn: kids out there playing sports, you know, and it's just Erica: Mm-hmm. Jenn: like, ugh, it drives me nuts. So anyway, that's that's my my two cents on Saturday. Erica: Listen, I was in a I was in a house full of Gator fans at a high school reunion and Jenn: huh. Uh-huh. Erica: everybody was like, that was a bullshit call. So I mean just yeah, you're welcome. Jenn: Yeah, yeah. That makes me feel better. That makes me feel better. Erica: It and it's it's in fact true. And th the FSU fan that was in the house was screaming Jenn: Yeah. I so so was my entire family. We're all sitting there, really, come on, you know, like my kids were there. It was and it was a late game because it went into what double o t overtime? I think it was just double. Erica: Yeah. Jenn: I don't know if it was triple. Anyway, yeah, So we can't we can't win. We can't win, quite literally. And then Erica: Yeah. Well we beat Te we beat Texas this sh this week and I I was sh shocked. And Jenn: I know. That was a good win. That was a good win. Yep. Erica: it was a good game. Jenn: Yes. Yeah. yeah, and then Sunday we just hung out, we grilled and had the doors open some more. I mean it that's it. Like that was my weekend. I loved every moment of it. It was great. So Yeah. What about you? Erica: It it sounds like an amazing weekend. And you're with your family. Jenn: Yeah. Yep. Yep. Yep. Erica: You wanna know what I realized this weekend? I don't like I either need to be more aware of when other people have sunglasses on that I need to put sunglasses on, or Jenn: Okay. Erica: they need to take them off. Because Jenn: Okay. Erica: I was talking to people, I was at a brewery on Sunday and Jenn: Yeah. Erica: I was talking to people with sunglasses on, and you know, for me Jenn: Mm-hmm. Erica: at least, I overthink situations. So after I leave a social situation, I rethink the social situation if I did anything stupid and then I lived that that lives rent-free in my head for a week. And one of the girls I was talking to most of the time had sunglasses on and I'm pretty sure I stared at her mouth and her tits the entire time. Jenn: Why? Why wouldn't you just look Erica: I don't know. I still need to call her and be like don't wear sunglasses around me. Cause you can't look into their eyes. So you're stare you Jenn: Yes, you can. Erica: have No, they have dark sunglasses on. So my Jenn: Okay. Erica: I go to the mouth that's moving. Like I just think your eyes go to that. And then Jenn: Okay. Okay. Erica: she had great tits, so I'm like staring at her tits in her lip mouth. Her tits in her mouth. Jenn: my god. Erica: I was like, I literally need to call her and be like, I'm sorry, I don't even know if you noticed this, but I didn't mean to do that. It's just that I couldn't look into your eyes. Jenn: What? my gosh. You know, I am always in sunglasses if I'm outside because my eyes are so light. So maybe you don't have that say you you just need to be in sunglasses as well, I feel like. Erica: No, I do, 'cause then it just doesn't matter. I don't even know I'm Jenn: Right. Erica: like, do I look and then I like questioning, I'm like, Do I look at people's eyes when I have sunglasses Jenn: Yeah. Erica: on? Then why does my brain do that? 'Cause I didn't know I was doing it until after I'm like, Man, I looked at her tits a Jenn: my god this poor woman Erica: I know. It's bad. I need a collar. I should probably get off and call her right now, now that I'm thinking about it. What? Jenn: You know, I don't even like that word. Erica: You don't like what w w what do you call them? But what do Jenn: I don't know, I just don't I guess boobs. Erica: you call them? Boobs? Jenn: Yeah. But it sounds weird when you say it. Erica: What, boobs or tits? Jenn: Ebs. Erica: You won't even say tits, won't you, will you? Jenn: No, I don't like it. I don't like it. Erica: Yeah. Jenn: know I think why is because my grandfather used to I he would refer to like animal, like the cow or the the cat, and he would s he would use the word tits and so like when Erica: Yeah. Jenn: he would refer because he lived on a farm, so like he would use that as the milking mechanism. I think that's why I don't like it. Erica: okay, I can see that. So you're not actually Jenn: Yeah. Erica: referring it to the human body, you're referring it to an animal. Yeah. Okay, I can see that. Jenn: Right. Yeah. Like that's where instantly where my brain goes, I guess. Erica: Okay, I could see that. Jenn: this will be a good one. Erica: Okay, so I will never go to a high school reunion. Okay, I would never go to one of mine. I don't care for them. I think I don't see the purpose of them. And there may be many people that disagree with that, and that's fine. my husband loves them. So he dragged Jenn: So Erica: me to his Jenn: He had okay, I that's what I was I was like, where are we going with this? So he had one. I'm like, Are you g are you Erica: yeah. So I'm gonna Jenn: going to random ones just whenever? I'm just I was trying to figure out. Okay, okay. Erica: Yes. Because because I'm married to him, yeah. So he dragged me to his and I'm like, I'm not going to your reunion. And I was like, so I brought my gay friend, and I we had a great time. We he brought me to dinner and then I showed up to my husband's reunion and he it was like midnight, he would not leave. And I'm like, dude, I'm leaving. Like this is I'm not my place. I don't I don't belong here. so there was and Jenn: Right. Well it's not your people. Erica: it's not my people. I also don't know Jenn: Yeah. Erica: anybody. I it's just weird. So anyways, then Last year we go to his opposing high schools reunion because it's his friends that went to the opposite high school. So we had we actually Jenn: my God. Erica: showed up to that one. And then my husband invited everybody to my house for the after party. And I didn't yes. So Jenn: This pastime. Okay. Erica: again, I was with my friend in my house. I'm hanging out with him. And I go to step outside my front door, and there were like 50 people on my front lawn. I Turned around and just walked back inside. I was like, I don't know what to do with this. And he did Jenn: Uh-huh. Erica: leave them outside, so it was fine. Well, this past weekend, that opposing high school had another reunion a year younger, but it's all of our friends still. So I was like, okay, I'll just go because I want to see the friends. I did not go to the reunion, but I went to the after party. Now, my friends that were hosting the after party got Two kegs and a pony keg. And when they were getting this, this ps alcohol, I was like, okay. It ends at nine. We are 40. And I just feel like that's a lot 'cause we're Jenn: Uhhuh. It ends at nine. We got two kegs and a pony keg. Got it. Okay. Erica: I just feel like we're not in high school anymore. I just feel like that was a lot of alcohol. A a big commitment. And I was like, you're gonna be swimming in beer afterwards. Jenn: It it s yes. Yes. And and you're saying that the party ends at nine. I don't understand. Like what was the point? Erica: No, the the the the reunion ended at nine and then everybody was supposed to go to the after party. Jenn: okay. Erica: So I'm just like in my head, I'm like people are committing to leaving a reunion at nine. Like this that's our witching hour. Like we belong in our pajamas at that time and back in bed. Jenn: right, right, right, right, right. Yes. I understand now. Th so the we're saying we're saying we're starting a party potentially as early as nine thirty and you have a ton of alcohol. I gotcha. Okay. Yeah, that's too much. Erica: With two kegs and a pony keg. Yeah. So this I I was already laughing going in, but I love them because they just love being host. You know what I mean? So I like, they're just committed, they're big host Yeah. Jenn: Well, and that's fine, but also like please tell me that there's some left. There has to be. Erica: Uhhuh, yeah. A a h a whole keg and a whole pony keg. Jenn: I mean that's the thing. It's like, what are we doing? Even if you've got fifty people, you know, I mean, that's That's a lot. Erica: I know, I know. S so we had a bet. So I went with this other couple, neither of us went to this high school. And and I was I didn't even go to school here, period. Like and not even in my city. They didn't Jenn: Right, right, right. Right. Erica: even go to school here in the city. So we were just like people that just showed up that we were just friends. Jenn: You're just outsiders. Yeah. Erica: So we we're betting we're like maybe 15, 20 people will show up to this after party. Jenn: Okay. Erica: There was like 75. They're They just kept walking in. Jenn: It's a lot of people. Erica: I was like, I could Jenn: A lot of people. Erica: not believe it. I was like, my god, there's a lot of Jenn: Yeah. Well and and to just do that on a random Erica: Peace. Jenn: Saturday is a lot Erica: Yeah. Jenn: as well. Like for my fortieth, I was planning my fortieth for like three months. I mean, we had probably Erica: Mm-hmm. Jenn: that we probably had 85, if I had to guess at one point, you know. Erica: Yeah. Whoa. Wow. Jenn: But that's a lot I mean, that's a lot. But you also I was preparing for it for like three months. I don't know how these people were in terms of that, like what their prep was, you know. That's a lot. That's a lot. Erica: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. It's it's it's it's it's a lot. And it's a commitment when you're hosting that many people. Anyway, so I did text my friend the next morning and I was like, What time did everybody leave? She's like a little after two. And I was like, basically it's the next it's basically the next day. It is the next day, but I mean I'm being sarcastic and saying it's basically you're living a whole other life at that point. Jenn: Right. Well and then you've got the cleanup and everything that goes along with it. I mean that's just oof, that's intense. Erica: She w she impressed me though. I could text her at 8 30 in the morning and she was already up and cleaning and drinking coffee and she showed up to my son's birthday and I was like, all right. Jenn: I mean that's that's impressive. I wouldn't have been there. I would have been like, I'm just gonna let it sit for another day and a half. I can't handle Erica: Ha ha ha Jenn: I hate I hate a party cleanup. I hate it. Yeah, I'm either doing Erica: It's the worst. Yeah. Jenn: it that night while people are still there, or I am waiting another day and a half to even start the process because I can't. Erica: Well, you want to know why. It's because we clean our house prior to the party. We're going nuts. And then Jenn: Correct. Yes. Erica: you have the party, and then after the party, your house looks worse than before you even cleaned your house to begin with. So you're like Jenn: Right. So you shouldn't have even done it to begin with. Erica: really, truly, nobody even looks. Nobody's looking at the baseboards. They're if anything, they're dirtying the baseboards. They're not Jenn: Nobody nobody cares. And and if you don't think that I went through and touched up every single baseboard in my house before I hosted my party, you're wrong. Because you know I did. Erica: Course I know you did. Yeah. Jenn: Yeah. Yeah. Erica: But y you you I know you probably hold a lot in, but you seem very well organized when you were hosting. Jenn: Okay. Well, I mean, by the end of the night I was just dancing, so we weren't even I wasn't even worried about it. Erica: Yeah, well you are. Yeah. Yeah.

What are we I I gotta I we gotta clarify. What are we talking about? What do you mean? What do mean? Erica: Ca I'm I'm getting there. Jenn: Okay, okay, okay. Erica: When I was when if you look at our pictures of us growing up, they were not Jenn: We were Erica: pretty. Jenn: no. We bet we had braces forever. We had frizzy hair forever. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. Yep. Erica: Yes. We had like chopped bangs. Some of us had a donut cut. Like we our we didn't know. Like we what? Like we can't even show our teen pictures. We had so much makeup on, we had layers of clothes. Jenn: No. No. God no. We we go f we the farthest I'm willing to go back in history for showing the World Wide Web pictures. Erica: Thirty years old. Jenn: That's about correct. That's about right. Yes. I mean I mean I could go into like my twenties, but poof. Yeah, before that, absolutely not. Nope. Erica: That's what I'm saying. And now we are getting our glow ups. What I'm saying Jenn: Right. Erica: is our our parents were flopped. They they all had the pretty hair, they were all dressed nice. Like they didn't have those Jenn: okay. Erica: pictures that we have growing up. Jenn: They didn't have the ugly ugly. Okay. Okay. I Erica: No. Right? Do you agree? Jenn: I don't I don't know. I mean I just think of like my parents' pictures. My my mom was gorgeous in high school. She had like long hair and like yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm just I'm I'm mentally going Erica: Yes, my mother was too. Yes. The high waisted jeans. Jenn: through yep, yep, I'm yep, I'm mentally but also my mom's great now. Erica: No, that's what I'm saying. So I I I wasn't saying it I I kind of backtrack on a little bit on that because I'm not saying that our parents are not now, but Jenn: Mm. Erica: they have always had a glow up and we just they they birthed us and they were like, you know, you don't deserve this glow up. Let me chop your hair off for Jenn: Yeah. Erica: you and put you in this turtleneck. Yeah. What was the clothing industry doing then? Yeah. Jenn: Also, the 80s was the different the 80s was a different time. I mean, you know, eighties and nineties was a different time. And now they're bringing some of that stuff back. Erica: No, couldn't do that to my kid. Jenn: No, also like why were we wearing so many collared shirts at once? Did you do that? Erica: I don't have yeah, I don't know what we were doing. I look at Jenn: I don't I Erica: my pictures and I'm like I don't know. Jenn: I had the bangs that like I would I would curl them this way and then spray Erica: Like you just Jenn: them so heavily that they like wouldn't move, like the wind would blow, but my bangs always stayed down. I'm not even joking. I need to find Erica: It is so bad. Jenn: a picture. I might find one for next week. Erica: You wanna know what, talking about younger, do you know one of the worst things that my mother caught me doing? S okay, so obviously back in the day we didn't have any phones or I mean we had the house phone, but we didn't have like it it wasn't we didn't have electronics and things to keep us entertained. We had to think of stuff Okay. And you always I feel like kids like they naturally copy what their parents do you know. Jenn: Mm, mm. Erica: my friend Mandy and I would were like smoke packs. And I'm talking about like we must have been like, I don't even know, like maybe between nine and eleven, like packs of cigarettes a day, but we never inhaled. Because we all both of our parents, because back in the day you could smoke in the house, you could smoke in restaurants, you could do all of that. So it was so normalized. So we would smoke, we would steal our parents' cigarettes, smoke the cigarettes, but we would never inhale. We would like suck in and blow immediately out. But we just like, we just thought we were the coolest people doing it. And we were like wasting our parents. Jenn: my gosh. And what, you were stealing your mom's cigarettes? Erica: Yes, and we were like wasting packs of cigarettes, Jenn: my Erica: not even realizing. But my mother caught me the window when she saw the smoke and she goes, What's that? And she comes over and she's freaking out because she was like thought I was smoking, but I'm like, I'm I didn't know back and I didn't even know I was supposed to inhale, but mom, just so you know I wasn't inhaling. we were stealing packs of cigarettes and just wasting them, not even mm-hmm. And we would just sit there Jenn: my gosh The worst Erica: and just like think we're so cool listening to Madonna or Shania Twain smoking cigarettes. Jenn: my god well, yeah, of course, of course. my gosh. Erica: practicing all the dance moves in the mirror 'cause Mandy and I we thought we should be on a music video. With our cigarettes and our dancers. Jenn: Yeah, the worst I ever did was I bought a pack, I think maybe when I was like eighteen, just because I could. And then I same thing, I had one, but I wasn't like inhaling anything. And I was like, ugh, and I threw the whole pack away. So I was like, okay, that was that was it. Erica: I I I never really got into cigarettes. The only time I got into cigarettes Jenn: No. Erica: were when in my younger in my twenties, when I was drinking, for some reason I craved a cigarette. But if I took a hit or two and I I didn't heal it, but I took a hit or two, it would like make me nauseous and I would stop. But I did crave it. Yeah. Jenn: That yeah, that was it. Yeah. That was about the extent of it too. Yeah, that was a like I would I would maybe take like a puff like once in a blue moon kind of situ same situation, but like it was never a thing. I'm so gl I'm so glad it was never a thing because it g it literally gives me headaches. No well that Erica: a hundred percent. I I just don't want to be addicted to that. Yeah. Jenn: and it like gives me a terrible headache now when I'm around that, you know. Yeah. Erica: Yeah. Well I feel like that's yeah. I mean I do know some people that still smoke cigarettes, but it it's just crazy how you think about it. It used to be allowed in the restaurants and like in your houses and it used to be everywhere and we were surrounded by it. Really? Jenn: I know. I think it still is in certain places. I think in like Alabama I think in Alabama it's still allowed. I think in Erica: Alabama. Jenn: Louisiana, I want to say it might be even still allowed. Like it's Erica: You're talking about in restaurants? Jenn: in restaurants where they'll ask you, like, because you know, they'll ask you like smoking or non smoking. I think, Erica: Smoking or non smoking. Yeah. Jenn: don't quote me on that, I'm not a hundred percent, but like I believe in the last even five years, I I'm almost certain. that in A Alabama they were still asking smoking or non smoking, which is crazy. I think, you know? Erica: Yeah. No, that is crazy. So I came up with this list. so okay, so my shower is my thinking capsule. And there's a lot Jenn: Of course, yeah. Erica: of there, there is some creative shit that comes out when I come out of the when I'm in the shower, like my brain runs, and I just come out of the shower and I take notes every time. Like 90% of the time I'm coming out with some good stuff. Well, I think it's good. So I thought of I have some expectations for my friends and Jenn: Yes, okay. Erica: If anybody wants to be my friend, they have to meet these expectations. Jenn: We have to apply okay. Erica: Yeah. So Jen, if you want to add to the list, you're welcome to at the end. Jenn: Okay. Okay. Erica: First on the list. You're not allowed to wear sunglasses if I'm not wearing sunglasses. Just kidding. I'm just kidding. Jenn: I'm gonna break that one immediately. My eyes are too light. I have to wear them. I'm like, if I'm outside, I have to wear them. Okay. Erica: Just give no, just say Erica, put on a sung if you don't want me to stare at your boobs, tell me to put on sunglasses. That's just it. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.

Erica: pimp pimple on the face. If it's white, if it's white head, you better tell me. I don't want you to tell me like, my god, I noticed Jenn: Okay. Erica: your unicorn, you got growing right here. I don't want that. But if it's what like if you get a white pimple on your nose, you have one on your chin, and it's ready to go, you need to be like, all right, you want me to get it or are you Jenn: We gotta we gotta address this situation. What if that person's Erica: Yeah. Jenn: like anti-popping though and they don't want to, you know? Erica: I'm gonna pop it for you. I'm not anti popping. I'm going in. I'm not afraid of a pimple. Jenn: Okay. Okay. All right. Erica: the worst for me is when I notice like a big black head in someone's face and like Jenn: Okay, you heard it here first. Erica: if people got stuff on their clothes, can you just say it? Jenn: Yeah. Like y like what? Like food or something? Or like a hair or lint or something? Erica: Anything like listen, my husband sat in some slime on Sunday and home gr my girls were going Jenn: no. Erica: and being like, Danny, I don't know what's on your butt, but it looked like he sharded himself, but he didn't, it was slime. Jenn: That's why I don't allow slime in my house. There is no slime. We don't do that. We don't do it. We don't. Erica: Yeah. All right. We're we're gonna circle back around wait, do you have anything you wanna add to that list? Jenn: If you're my friend, what's something that you have to be willing to do? I mean I don't know. I'm I'm I'm more big on like I I agree with all of those physical things, but I also Erica: Mm-hmm. Jenn: need you to just be honest. Like if if we're Erica: Mm. Jenn: doing something and you're it's not your vibe or if you're not like a fan or whatever, like tell me. Just be honest. Just just tell me straight up. It's just Erica: Speak. Just speak. Yeah. Jenn: so much easier because then then we don't have to do this whole thing again. You know what I mean? and with that being said Sometimes I'm that person. I'm sometimes Erica: Yeah. Jenn: always that person that's like, I don't want to do this. And you guys force Erica: Yeah. Yeah. Jenn: me to to get out of my, you know, out of my comfort zone sometimes. So I'm not saying that. I'm just saying like, Erica: Yeah. Yeah. Jenn: let's just be honest. That's all. Erica: So, and I think it's as I'm getting older, it bothers me a little bit more when people are not honest. I Jenn: Right. Erica: think it's like I can handle it. Like just tell me like my biggest pet Jenn: Exactly. Erica: beef, and I was actually gonna get into this, is when you invite somebody somewhere or just talk to somebody and they they feel like a they have to make up an excuse. Or you would Jenn: Don't even give me the excuse. Erica: or that's what I'm saying. Just tell me I don't want to do that. You're very good at that, Jen. You're like, I just don't wanna go. I don't wanna do it. And I don't need to give you an excuse, I'm just not doing it. But it you don't have to say it like I mean, we talk to each other like that, but I mean you could just be like, No, I'm good, I'm just or I'm just not gonna go. Like no. Or just no. Jenn: Yeah. Well and and honestly, it's not even like two things. First of all, I am often the person that's like, No, I'm not doing that. and I'll get to that. So a lot of times when I'm like, no, I'm not gonna do that, it's because I'm not in the headspace to be able to like think about the logistics behind doing something that might be outside of my comfort zone or maybe it's like Erica: Mm-hmm. Jenn: a trip or something like that. And I'm just not in that headspace. So that's part of my no. Sometimes you guys Erica: Yeah. Mm-hmm. Jenn: most of the time you guys are like, okay, we're gonna give you 48 hours to think about this. Get back to us. And that normally like helps, at least for me anyway. Erica: Right. Right. Jenn: but two, I'm not afraid to just be like, it's not my thing or I don't want to do it. I'm totally fine saying no. And I think that that's a I think that's a good quality. I don't want somebody to lie to me and be like, yeah, sorry, my kid's sick or w whatever other bullshit excuse that people throw out. Like, just tell me. It's fine. If you want to lay on your couch Erica: Yeah. Yeah. Jenn: and that was your plan this weekend instead of going out. That's cool. Like sometimes people just need that. And you don't have to explain that to me. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. Erica: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Mm-hmm. No, I agree. Yeah. Well and or people you invite them and they just don't respond. Jenn: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Dude, just like Erica: That I Jenn: just give me a heads up. Give me a something. Something. Yeah. Erica: Something. But that it's that or and then when you invite somebody to do things, like the next question is like when you're inviting people to do these things, how many times do you invite them be you start before you stop inviting them? Because you're like Jenn: I don't know. I that's very mixed in my head because I know a lot of people are like, you know, if you're always saying no, then we're just gonna stop inviting you over time. I don't want that, right? Like, because I am often, like I said, I am sometimes that person that's like, you know, but don't don't give up on me. And a lot of times I'll say that, like, don't give up on me. this particular thing is not my jam, but happy to do the next thing. Or whatever. Erica: So I do think it's important if you want to hang out with that person to say that, but sometimes people Jenn: Yeah. Erica: like if you're trying to start a new friendship, which you already know is exhausting in itself, like if Jenn: Yes. Erica: you're inviting people to do things and they just keep saying no, at some point you're like, Okay, I'm getting the hint that you probably we'd this is just not gonna work. You know what I mean? Jenn: Right. Right. And and and that's fine. I feel like that's a you know, that's kind of a natural way of phasing it out or Erica: Uh-huh. Jenn: not being able to make it work. Yeah. Erica: Yeah. So going back to you picking stuff out of my teeth real quick, Jenn: okay. Erica: I I need to remind you, Jen, that you have thrown up in a public sink and I've stuck my hand in the sink to d empty the drain. Jenn: Shut up Shut up No No ma'am We are not doing this Erica: It was Jenn: I'm gonna leave it in, but we're not going far in into this. We're not doing it. Erica: I mean it was like six, seven years ago. Jenn: Definitely on the seven end of things, for sure. For sure. And I Erica: Listen, you act like female do you know many times I've done that to females? So for you to sit here and even feel remotely embarrassed about that, like I am a trooper as a friend when it comes to that, and the amount of times I've stuck my hand in a drain is Jenn: Yeah. Erica: so you are are there are many women that wish they had a friend that would do that. What? Jenn: Okay, also my dad is gonna listen to this. Erica: god. Really that's where it's going. Jenn: gonna get a text. It's gonna Erica: I mean someone's gonna clean up the mess. Jenn: He's he's gonna he's gonna bring up another time when I was in like fifth grade. Erica: my god, what is that? What? It happened in fifth grade. What is Jenn: I went to the sink that I went to the sink instead of the toy. Erica: I mean you did do that, I don't know why, but Jenn: Listen, I know, but it was because at that establishment I think there were two people in the stalls, and that was the problem. So I'm Erica: Yeah. Jenn: gonna I'm gonna stand behind my decision, even though I'm very sad that that was what happened. and Erica: Mm-hmm. Jenn: we're not gonna go too far into the weeds, but I am 1000% gonna hear about this again. And he's gonna be like, why? Why did you do this? Erica: I mean at least you had a friend there and you weren't by yourself. With like four people there, I think. I'm just kidding. No, it's the worst. I can't, let's not. No never. Jen, I Jenn: No, I know. my God. It's the worst though. Can you like it it has not happened to me. It has not happened to me often. No, but I'm just saying, like, when you're sick in public, have you never been s you've never gotten like I mean actually like sick sick Erica: no. Jenn: in public. It's happened to me a couple of times. No, Erica: are you talking about okay, yeah. Jenn: I'm saying like fit like truly like come down with something you're not well in public. Yeah. Erica: never. No. No. Jenn: See, it's it's yeah, I don't know. Apparently I Erica: For when I was in my twenties drinking, yes, I've ha I've probably thrown up in public once in my Jenn: Mm-hmm. Erica: entire life. I am known for coming home and throwing up though because but because and I'm not ashamed to say this because Jenn: Yeah. Yeah. Erica: I do not like the feeling of the spins or feeling nauseous. So like I will Jenn: Right. Erica: make myself there. Now there's that being said, I also Jenn: You also have an issue with Mexican food. Erica: I have a big issue with Mexi food, I don't know what it is. But there's Jenn: Ha ha ha Erica: the whatever. But no, but what I'm saying is that's also why I work on don't letting myself get there. You know what I mean? Jenn: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Erica: So I don't I don't let myself get to that point. So as I'm getting older I'm learning, but you know, you have to make a lot of mistakes before you learn sometimes. Jenn: I know, I know. cannot believe you've brought that shit up. Erica: Listen, you didn't want to take shit out of my teeth. Jenn: When were you thinking about this? When were you even thinking about this? Erica: I didn't think about this. I thought about this right now when you said you're not pulling stuff out of my teeth. I'm like, listen Jenn: Say I didn't say I wouldn't, I'm saying I would Erica: I Jenn: be I would be cautious over some people picking things out of my teeth. Erica: Okay, and just so you were clear, I was saying that sarcastically. I really don't want anybody's fingers near my mouth. I should probably disclose that. Jenn: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Erica: Because I don't even really love hugs, so for the fact of somebody putting their finger in my mouth, okay. Jenn: Right. Right. So the dentist it goes well for you. Erica: I don't ever go. I'm like, no, I'll just take I'll just take care of my teeth. I can't. I go to the cleanings Jenn: Yeah. Erica: and they well in the worst they get the rubber gloves and they're in your mouth and the rubber's running against your mouth and you're like, no. I'm good. Jenn: Also, why do I need why do I need x rays every, I don't know, two seconds? Why do why? Why do I need them? I I truly Erica: I don't get them. I don't. My teeth have done nothing. I that's what I'm telling you. Jenn: don't understand. Erica: You say no. Jenn: Right. Well, yeah, I I do as often as possible. Erica: Do we need do adults need x-rays every year? Jenn: I guess they're like trying to find I've asked my mom about this because she worked at a dentist office years and years ago, but I sh whatever. She's like she's told me that I guess they want to see if there's anything that they can't see with the naked eye, right? Like if there's a cavity that's maybe develop I don't care. Like won't I know eventually? I'll know eventually. Erica: They're just trying to get rich. They're just trying to get rich. Listen, Jenn: telling you. And like, listen, dental insurance is freaking ridiculously expensive. And Erica: It's so stupid. Jenn: we still end up paying out of pocket everything. It's like the whole cost. Erica: Well I Jenn: I still end up basically paying it all out of pocket. Erica: I quit my dental insurance probably seven years ago. I paid cash for everything, dental and I. Jenn: Yeah. Yeah. Erica: Because I mean to go get a cleaning, it's like a hundred and sixty bucks. So I'm like, I'm just gonna pay the one sixty for my whole family to get their teeth cleaned. And if they need something, okay, they'll pay the two grand for whatever at that one time. That the rare occasion, which Jenn: Right. Right. Erica: knock on wood hasn't been any time, you know. So Jenn: Yeah, but see my kids still have to get like x rays because I mean they legitimately need them. That's the problem. So I do pay Erica: They do they do need x rays, yes. Yes. Jenn: for the insurance for that. Erica: Yes. so I'm gonna get into a subject right now that's just gonna probably fire us both up, but it's definitely gonna fire me up. Jenn: Okay, huh. Erica: My husband and I got in a little disagreement because Jenn: okay. Erica: listen I'm not saying no like Jenn: Like earlier today or when he listened to the last podcast. Cause we went pretty hard. Erica: No, I h I don't think you listen to it. No, I'm Jenn: okay, okay. Erica: talk no, I'm talking about like two minutes before coming on. Listen. I'm not saying a lot of husbands like this, but husbands like the I was a big worker bee, okay, and I've slowed down because I homeschool my child and I've taken on some interests that I like, hence the podcast. And okay, so my husband works full time. He works very Jenn: Yes, Erica: hard. Jenn: yes, he does. Erica: I still work very hard even though it's not the money isn't there. I still work every day so hard. I'm like, how how do you think all of the things get done? How do you think all of the things get planned? How do you Jenn: Right. Right. Erica: think the experiences happen? Like and I listen, I Jenn: Yes. Well there's a fairy. There's a fairy. You didn't know? There's Erica: yeah, no I forgot. Yeah. She comes in the middle of the night and doesn't do shit. I Jenn: There's a laundry ferry and there's a a grocery ferry and there's a chef ferry Erica: Yeah, Jenn: and yeah, for sure. Yeah. Erica: I'm just like, I don't need a gold star, I don't need an award. I don't mind doing it, Jenn: No, no, no, I know, I know. Yeah. Mm hmm. Yeah. Erica: but just I just need the acknowledgement that I am doing it Jenn: That it exists? Erica: and and that it exists. And please don't talk to me or treat me like I do nothing. Because all Jenn: Agreed. Erica: of the thinking and everything that gets put into our everyday life, listen. And you that answer should be very clear to you when I step out of town and you're calling me fifteen times a day asking me questions. Jenn: boy. Erica: When you go to the grocery store, it is a ongoing joke with my mom and I. Like Jenn: Mm. Erica: when my husband goes to the grocery store, I'm bound to get five FaceTime calls because we have not, for some reason, have not been buying the same milk for the past years. We must get a different kind every time we go to the store. The eggs, the bread everything, Jenn: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Erica: it must change. Every time we go to the grocery store, I must change what we buy that, Jenn: Right. Erica: you know, deserves a FaceTime call. What avocado do you want? I don't know, you're the one squeezing them. Which one do I want? I don't know. Jenn: Well that one's like impossible to tell. Like Erica: It it's an ongoing joke 'cause I like Jenn: No, I mean like it's impossible to tell via FaceTime is what I'm getting at. Erica: a hundred percent and I was being sarcastic, we talk about like you send your husband to the grocery store and it's like why? It's not easier. It's not because now you have to make the list Jenn: Listen, I will say I sent him on Saturday. I was like, all I all I want you to do is go get whatever it is that you want to throw in the grill. He came back with like thirty different meats and I was like, That's great. That's perfect. Because I'll be able to figure out the rest of it for the rest of the week with meal planning. It's fine. Doesn't bother me one bit. Erica: But but you sent him for one task and that's to get meat to put on a grill. Jenn: I did, Erica: Ask him to buy the groceries for the week for the meal prepping that you're going to do. Yeah. Jenn: I mean, listen, then he would go up and down every aisle. He would get as mi listen, his BOGO deals would be through the roof. He'd be like, I saved five hundred dollars in BOGO deals I'd be like, We have no room for any of this in our pantry but it's fine. Erica: We have no room and also when is the last time we bought that item? Jenn: Right. Most of the time it's yesterday and sometimes it's never. So we either have thirty of those things in the pantry currently, or we've never bought it ever, ever, and our kids don't like it. Erica: my God. mean he he he goes to work, I plan all the vacations, I plan all the events, the kids, the the ever all the presents end up on the Christmas tree, all the holiday festivities happen, Jenn: Yeah. Erica: I bring the dish to his parents' house, you know. I I mean it and then we're not even talking about the day to day in-house things, you know? Jenn: Mm-hmm. Erica: I'm just like I don't Understand how you think all these things just happen, you know? Jenn: I know, it takes a special person, I guess. That special person is us. Erica: In Have you seen the new movie with Shane Gillis? Jenn: No. Mm mm. Erica: The mom is starting a business and Jenn: Okay. Erica: it's like i I forget what they call a star, but it's basically a star that goes on the kids' backpack that has like like it's re the star is a reminder that you put on the kids backpack so they can look at their star and r the kid remembers of what they have to do. So she started in this business of creating this star and she goes Jenn: Okay. Erica: on Shark Tank and she bottom line is the mom does everything in the house, like literally runs the household, has the calendar on the fridge, she's type A, I'm not. Jenn: Right. Right. Erica: She's you in the movie. Okay. And she has to now go across the country to produce this item. So she has to go to the production company and she's in the warehouse and all this stuff. And Shane Gillis is the dad. And Jenn: Okay. Erica: he has to run the household. Now Shane Gillis is a comedian, right? You know who he is. Jenn: Okay. Right. Yeah, yeah. He's been in some hot water lately. Erica: Yeah, he has been. Dude, the movie is hysterical. And I'm like, this is this is Jenn: Okay. Okay. Do you remember what it's called? Erica: this is no. And I look at me, I'm like, I'll look it up right now and tell you, but I'm I can't. I can't it's new, it's on Netflix. It's it's hysterical. Jenn: I was talking to a friend over the weekend, same kind of the same thing, you know, just talking about the calendars. Like she brought over her calendar and she was like writing everything down just because we had like a little bit of time, the boys had gone to the grocery store. Like I said, she was kind of filling out her stuff. I'm doing things, you know, putting away dishes, whatever. And we're just talking. And so it was like the perfect time for her to update all of her stuff and similar conversation where it's like, you know, the standard of living. Okay. And Erica: Uh-huh. Jenn: when I say that, everybody's standard is slightly different, right? You know, not everybody likes their house to be exactly like yours or mine or whatever. Everybody has their own style, the way that they run things. But Erica: Mm-hmm. Jenn: when it's all said and done, to be able to function the way that you would like to function takes planning, you know, Erica: Mm-hmm. Jenn: and it's it often falls on the female, right? Of Erica: Mm-hmm. Jenn: of the of the relationship. and and that's fine. I don't mind some of those traditional like roles within a relationship. I really don't. But just like you said, like it it still is work. It still matters. And it you we want to be recognized for the fact that that is being taken care of. And it's something that they don't have to worry about necessarily, you know. Erica: it was always traditionally that the men would work and the wife would stay home and take care of the house. But Jenn: Mm-hmm. Erica: now women are expected to work also. But exactly, and that's what's Jenn: Right. Work and still take care of the house. Right. Yeah. Erica: frustrating is because it and there are some men, so like my husband does do the dishes every night after dinner. Like he will vacuum and clean the house. He does help with those things. Yes, so I'm not gonna say that he doesn't do anything, but Jenn: That does mine. Yep, yep. Mm-hmm. Erica: Women are now expected to work plus do all the things because I mean, even all the meal planning, the sports, signing everything up, planning vacations, y it just Jenn: Well, even just pickup from school, you know, and and don't get me wrong, again, he helps. He he is an equal Erica: Yes. Jenn: participant. He will get them from school or whatever, especially if I've got something going on or whatever. But like for me personally, my kids start school and then an hour later the next one has to go to school. And so Erica: Mm-hmm. Jenn: basically, you know, two hours of my day. is sort of that in between limbo time of which one is going to school, which one I have to go pick up, you know what I mean? Like and sitting right, right. Because of the the Erica: drop off and pick up. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Jenn: gap in the time and everything. So it's just like it it's it's still work. It's still something that has to be taken care of, you know. Erica: Well, in everything that the schools need. I mean, your kid Jenn: Right. Erica: needs you know, the you get the daily emails of everything that the the new activity that the kids are doing and that either you need to bring in s Jenn: Or picture day. my gosh. I sent my kid to school in the school shirt for picture day last week. So we gotta do retakes on that one. That's gonna be great. Erica: Yeah. Jenn: I was like, cool, I dropped the ball. Normally I add it to our reminders. I completely just spaced out and didn't do it this time. So he went to school in a t shirt. Erica: I'm i I'm not even gonna fault you for it 'cause like all this stuff that has to be on the brain is just ridiculous, you know? Jenn: Well and like again, normally I have the piece of paper that says like picture day and I immediately add it to the totally f totally forgot. I don't know. It got buried. That was part of the thing when she was filling out her a planner this weekend, my friend, was I was I was cleaning off the countertop. I'm like, there's picture day. yeah. He went to school on a t shirt. well. Erica: Do you buy the school pictures? Jenn: I always buy the cheapest package for so many stupid reasons. One, I'm like, I do want to have the picture, right? It it's it's Erica: Mm-hmm. Jenn: a forced picture where I get to see what they look like every year. Okay. I'm just gonna continue to do it. Two, Erica: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Jenn: I legitimately think to myself, these are businesses. And Erica: Mm-hmm. Small businesses, yeah. Jenn: You know, like it is their li it is their livelihood. I don't wanna not, you know, support I don't want us to not be taking pictures anymore. You know, like that's the kind of stuff I start I start Erica: No, no, I get that. Yeah. Jenn: to spiral and I start to like go into a like a dark place. I'm like, what if we don't have that any you know, so I just do it and I have a stack of them. They don't frame them, I just have a stack of them so I can refer to them later. Erica: Mm-hmm. I actually need to do family pictures. I thought about that and I'm like, I haven't done Jenn: Yeah. Erica: family pictures in seven years. Jenn: yeah. You should probably do that. Just use the pr tripod and Erica: But I'm a Jenn: use your phone. Erica: I'm gonna do it in the spring because you know my house is summer. So I'm not Jenn: Okay. Yeah, okay. Erica: gonna do it in the fall when everybody's wearing turtlenecks, you know? Jenn: you could just wear a a tank outside with the weather the way it is right now and it would be very comfortable and no Erica: And you want me to freeze? Jenn: one would sweat. Erica: No. I was freezing today. Thank you. I know. Jenn: It was pretty cold this morning. Erica: I just I just booked I didn't tell you this yet, but I just booked a another trip to Boston in January Jenn: Okay. Erica: and I I have to my husband wants a snowboard and I just I'm not gonna ski. I'm sitting at the bottom of the mountain. I know you are you are a skier. I just Jenn: wouldn't say that I'm a skier. Erica: But you don't mind it. Jenn: I would say I learned last year how to ski not well. Erica: I I Jenn: Learned how to ski well enough to get to a couple of places on the mountain that I couldn't get before because I couldn't ski before. So Erica: I don't th I've never in my life have seen a lizard skiing down a mountain, so I don't think I'm going to start now. Jenn: That's true. Yeah. Okay. H you've never Erica: No, Jenn: skied before? Erica: no. Jenn: So you know I learned when I after I turned forty. That's when I learned. Erica: I don't want to be in that gear. I don't want Jenn: Okay, but let's Erica: to be in the cold. Jenn: But let's just for a second, let's maybe table this and let's think because this is what ultimately made me do it, okay? Is your youngest probably gonna wanna try? Erica: He snowboard. He did snowboarding. And he went with my husband. This is perfect. Jenn: Okay. That was ultimately that was ultimately what made me do it because I was like, I don't want to be the one that's not around them learning this new skill. And now, of course, they're way better than me. So it was partly Erica: yeah. Jenn: that. And it was partly, again, going back to the voice in our head that sometimes we tell ourselves that we can't do something. It was one of those where I was like, I've told myself all these years that I can't ski, can't ski. Guess what? I learned again, I'm not the best, but It's a new skill that at least I can say to myself, I've done it and I was okay. And same thing with like we started Mahjong this week. Or last week, rather. Erica: Jesus Jenn: I know, I know, I know. And because we share a a shared Instagram, you unfortunately are getting some of the mahjongs on your on your feed now. And I apologize. Erica: The algorithm Jenn: The algorithm is algorithming. And I apologize for that. But again, I go back to it. I told myself I did not need to learn that. I thought it was gonna way too complicated. But the studies of learning how to play Mahjong and lowering your risk of Alzheimer's, there's a correlation. And I'm just saying I yes. It's a new skill. It's something Erica: No I and I'm going to do it. I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do it. I'm going to do it. Jenn: you can say, yes, I can sit down at a table and I can play a fun game. with my friends. That's it. Erica: Listen, I'm all for learning something new. I like that. Jenn: Yes. Okay. All right. Erica: It's not that I don't want to learn how to ski or that I can't don't think I can't. I just generally Jenn: It's the cold. Erica: I don't want to be in the cold. Like Jenn: Okay. Erica: I have I truly have a hard and I don't know if it's because of my thyroid or not. I just have really have a hard time with the cold. Like I we went to a cabin in the Carolinas. Jenn: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Right. Erica: Now this is the Carolinas, so this is not even this is cold, but not even I was literally laying in bed at night and I could not stop shivering. And I had all the blankets, I had a Jenn: Yeah. Yeah. Erica: sweatshirt. Like I just I so I'm not saying I'm never going to do it, but that you are a better mom than me when you're like, I wanna go and I wanna do that with them. Yeah, he can go to the top of the hill by himself. Jenn: No, I'm not a better mom. It's just I just told myself I'm like this is something that I have to at least try. I have to at least try. Erica: No, and I will maybe one day. Jenn: Well, there are cute ski outfits and if you get some hand warmers I mean and Erica: Yeah. Jenn: and and you can put in your boots so that your feet are nice. Erica: Yeah. Jenn: If your extremities are warm, I I think there's I think you would be okay. Erica: Can't they just make like a sand hill like at the beach like I come on? Jenn: god, that sounds terrible. Then it's then you're eating sand. That's terrible.
