  Speaker 1: Tampa Bay's best music is Magic 94.9.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: And welcome to a new episode of Scotty and Abby Unfiltered.
• 0:07
  Speaker 3: Gotta give a shout out to the fam because we
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: were talking about all our travel endeavors that we're gonna
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: take over the weekend.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Y'all came through with the recommendations in the Instagram.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, what'd you get?
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: I saw a lot of people telling me great pizza
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: spots to go to.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: A lot of people telling me there's one theme that
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: continued to come up with everyone I talked to and
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: it was the one thing I looked at as I
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: was planning this trip that I was like, there's no
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: way we're doing this.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: And now I regret not doing it. The architecture tour.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Everyone says the architecture tour. I was going to say
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: the same thing. Even I was going to recommend it
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: to you, but I didn't say anything because every time
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: you bring up Chicago, people are like, you have to
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: do the architecture tour. Then I'm like, somebody's definitely told
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: them this already.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just don't understand how good it could be.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: I've never done it. Just every time I go to Chicago,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: people are like, you have to do the architecture tour.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: And to be fair, Chicago is such a beautiful city
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: that it makes sense. And I'm like, I'm walking around.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at the architecture. It looks great.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah. But it's just what's so weird is, you know,
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: I was looking at it as I was planning the
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: trip and I even thought to myself, I was like,
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: I don't want to take 90 minutes to go out
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: and be on a boat and be stuck when I
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: could be walking the city. Yeah. And then we saw
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: friends that were visiting the city at the same time
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: was the first thing that they said. Everybody that we
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: interacted with in Chicago was like, oh, you gotta do
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: the architecture tour. And then every one of your DMs
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: and the comments are saying doing it. I will say,
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: we did not do that.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: You didn't?
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: No, we just didn't have time.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: And honestly, I'm very grateful that we'll save that.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Because that was one of the things I had to
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: think of on the trip. I was like, oh, look.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: We got 36 hours here. We could always come back.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: You know, we don't have to do everything in one
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: trip because what ends up happening is you get so
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: burnt out.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: You're just walking around exhausted, feet hurt, back hurts. You're like,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: great trip.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: No, I'd rather us do the couple things, have a
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: great experience, and... We'll make another trip out of it.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: And the next time we go, and I definitely see
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: all your comments, like we'll go do the architecture tour
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: because from what you've said, what the comments have said
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: is it sounds incredible.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: I don't put that past you one bit. We just
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: didn't have enough time for it this time.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: And I think it's BYOB. So it's sort of like a,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: a cocktail situation too, where you can like maybe go
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: before dinner. So I still haven't done it. I've been
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: to Chicago two or three times, I think twice. And
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I still, every time I go, I.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Forget to do it.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: It's the next time. It was a, crazy trip though.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: And I will say like, just to kind of just
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: tease it a little bit is, you know, I should
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: have been arrested like within the first 30 minutes we
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: were in Chicago. Like I'll probably be banned from using
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: a rental car. Look, here's the deal. I tried to
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: make this trip as flawless as possible. So I booked everything.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: I got the hotel, I got a rental car situation.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: So we don't have to worry about Ubers. And you know,
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: I had a nice hotel. I stayed in the nicest
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: hotel I've ever stayed in. But as I got this
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: rental car, Usually, it takes you a couple minutes to
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: get used to the drive. We get in, and we
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: get in this, like, Chevy... Well, it's like a Chevy Blazer,
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: so it's like an SUV. But it's newer, and it
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: has a weird braking system. Like, the brake is just...
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: It's kind of sensitive. Like, if I lift my foot, like, just, like,
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: a millimeter, the car moves forward. Which, maybe because I
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: drive an older car now, that it's not like that. Like,
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: I could move my foot around, and the car's not
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: gonna move anywhere.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: It's locked in there.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're not used to these brakes.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Well, we get in this car, and... Right away, I
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: realized that this car is super sensitive. It's all over
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: the place. And Chicago traffic is nuts.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Why didn't you guys just Uber? Or take the train in?
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: We could have done the train.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: It would have taken, in my head as I was
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: planning this, I didn't anticipate the Chicago traffic to be
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: what it was. But I'm also glad I drove because
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: an Uber probably would have been, I don't know, double
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: the price. If I would have Ubered there, then Ubered
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: back that night. So we get this rental car and
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: I'm driving in the traffic and But I'm also checking
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: out the car. I'm looking around because I'm in, you know,
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: in the podcast, I'm looking for new cars now. So
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: I'm just trying to see the features that I like
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: and I don't like. Yeah. I'm looking down at the
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: side of the little door here to see like the
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: cargo space that they.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Have, the storage. And all of a sudden, Brianna is
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: doing her makeup as we're about to go meet French.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: She's like, babe, babe, babe, babe, babe. I hit the
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: car in front of me.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: I had my foot on the brake, but I guess
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: as I was looking around. I guess I moved my
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: foot just slightly. So I was rolling forward in traffic
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: as we're stopped at a light, like two miles an hour.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: And as soon as Brianna was like, babe, stop, I stopped.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: And I was like, Oh, I'm good.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: I'm good. She's like, you hit the car. I see
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: the car in front of us going to park. The
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: door opens up and the guy starts walking at me.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: I'm like, Oh my God.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Like we're literally 15 minutes in this trip. And I
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: get out of the car.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: I'm like, please, Lord, Don't let there be any damage
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: because I don't even know how that works when you
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: get a rental car and you get it in an accident.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Did you get insurance? No. So.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: It wouldn't have been good.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: Well, I walked out of the car. We both looked
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: at it. There's no damage whatsoever.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: He looks at me. He's like, you know what? It's fine.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: I give him the handshake. And I said, thank you
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: so much, because that would have ruined the entire trip.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Oh, so where's the arrested part?
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: He could have easily called the police. He did not.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: But that's, you don't get arrested when you hit somebody.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: And call your insurance.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: It would have been a police ticketing situation. And I
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: don't know the situation in Chicago, how they handle that.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: I know in Florida, it's like a no fault state.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: I don't know how that would have unfolded in Chicago.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: I don't think I would have been arrested, but police
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: would have definitely been involved. Like we would have, he
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: could have done the thing where it's like, all right,
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: pull over. We're going to call the police. We're going
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: to report an incident. I'm going to have to call
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: the rental company. I'm going to have to put it
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: on my insurance. It would have been a whole mess.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: But because it was like, just thankfully like two miles
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: an hour. And lightly tapped him. I didn't even know
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: I hit him. Brianna told me I hit him. And
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: then he got out of the car. I was like,
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: thank God.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Gave him the handshake. He went on his way.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: And for the rest of the trip, I was like
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: just on the edge of my seat everywhere we went.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: But that was honestly the only time I was in
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: the car. We got into the hotel and then we
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: just walked the entire city.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why I don't understand why you just didn't Uber.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: I thought, well, again, planning it, I thought we would have.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: drove around Chicago more and it just would have given
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: us the access to.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So that part was like in the back of
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: my head.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: There was just a couple of things I learned, but
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: with that traffic, it took an hour and a half
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: to get to downtown Chicago.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: I know it's the worst.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Ubering would have cost at least probably 60 to $ 80
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: just for that one trip.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: You got to train, you got to train it next time. Yeah.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: I don't like, I like being in charge of my
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: own destiny when I'm not hitting other cars.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: But from that moment, then it became one of the
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: best trips ever. and i have plenty of stories from
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: that trip but i also want to hear about miami.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Because no i want to hear about chicago.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: You think chicago's but not better than miami.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah because i i'm telling you i have like this
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: miami curse on me every time i go to miami
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: it's just like the most tame trip of all time
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: it's like me and bachelorette parties every time i go
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: on a bachelorette party we're like home by 11. I
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: think it's because all my friends are in relationships. They're like,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: what are we doing now? Let's go home.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: We were talking about that a lot this weekend. It's
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: nice to just hang out with the people that you
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: actually want to talk to. Oh, yeah.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: And be able to hear them. So I could understand that.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, me and my friend, Virginia, I went to go
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: visit her in Miami. She's a dentist there. And she
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: got us tickets to some Miami Beach daytime-ish. It was
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: like a 6 p.m. party. So not quite a danger.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: And we were standing around and it's just house music.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: It's house music and it's a DJ and it's all
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: these people like half our age. I remember just looking
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: at her and going, do you want to leave? And
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: she was like, yeah. And I was like, let's go.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: So we left, I mean, an hour and a half,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: two hours into the party. And we sat down on
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: the couch. And I'm like, if we don't get up immediately,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: both of us are going to fade. So, I mean,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: I've been in Miami for three hours at this point.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: I'm like, we need to go do something. Like, let's
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: just go get dinner somewhere. Let's go sit somewhere. And
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, maybe the most dramatic thing that happened on
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: this trip was she had a friend that was considering
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: meeting us out, which I would have been fine with. Yeah.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: But this friend lives in Fort Lauderdale, which Fort Lauderdale
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: is like an hour and a half away from Miami.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: And the friend wanted to meet us for dinner at 10.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: And I'm looking at the clock. It's like 7 p.m.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: I'm like, if we don't do something, both of us
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: are going to be passed out. And so I said,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: why don't you just give her a call and just
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: say we'll catch her for brunch or something. Like, I
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: don't know what we're going to do for three hours.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: So she was like, yeah, let me call her and
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: let me tell her that we're going to meet her
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: at another point. Or like, we'll just catch her on
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: the next one. And she calls her friend. and she goes, hey,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: do you want to meet us for dinner at 10?
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: We've got a reservation at Carbone. I felt like the coach,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, that's not what we.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: That's not the play we designed.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: It's not the play we designed, and so I'm looking
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: at her. I'm like, trying to figure out what her
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: plan is, and I'm like, no. I'm like, cut the cameras.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: What are you doing? And she goes, yeah, I've got
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: a reservation for four right here for Carbone.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: What is happening?
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: So anyway, she hangs up the phone, and I was like,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: what was that? And she goes, she didn't get the hint.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: She thinks that we want her to come to dinner.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: I'm like.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Cause you invited her to dinner at 10 PM. And
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: I said, listen, I'm sure she's a great gal, but
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: we can't wait until 10. Like we're both going to
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: be falling. If we're going to go to Carbone, if
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: you've never heard of Carbone, Carbone is like this really
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: upscale Italian restaurant in New York. It's now in Miami.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: They have one in Dallas and it is impossible to
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: get a reservation. I have never eaten here because again,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: it's impossible to get a reservation and And so I'm like,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: I think if we show up early, if it's just
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: us two, we can probably get in around 8, 830.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: And the thought of like having to wait until 10
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: while we're both kind of drunk from this danger that
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: was a bust. I've been driving all day. Also, candidly,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: like this is my best friend. I haven't seen her
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: in a while. And so I said, I don't care
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: if you have to blame me. Call her up. Tell
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: her like we we we're going we're going to Carbone
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: right now. And if she wants to meet us there
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: when we're at Carbone, that's totally fine. But like we
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: need to go now. We're going to fall asleep on
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: this couch. Like me and her are both horizontal eating cheese.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: It's blankets over our head. I'm like, we got to
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: get up. We're too young for this.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: You know yourselves at this point.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: So she calls her, and I feel so bad while
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: she's doing it. I'm like, just say I don't want
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: to get charged because you have to put a credit
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: card down for these reservations. And if I have to
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: cancel this reservation, I'm going to get charged. I'm like,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: just tell her I don't want to get charged this
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: kind of money. So she tells her that, cancels, and
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: we end up going. Carbone was great, by the way.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Highly recommend. Not overrated. And I felt so bad because
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: I think her feelings were really, really hurtful. hurt.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Your friends or the other friend?
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: The other friend. It's one of those things where I
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: think in your head, you think it's going to be
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: a bigger deal than it is if you cancel on
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: this friend. But I'm like, the context is very reasonable.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Like I'm visiting you. I'm here for 24 hours. We're starving.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: We're a little drunk from this danger. She's going to
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: be fine. It's the perfect example of sometimes you just
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: have to give full context because people are reasonable when
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: you give context and you explain your position. But if
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: you like if we're trying to give somebody a hint,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: we're just going to create more more conflict than needed.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Like what is it like beating around the bush? Like just.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Be straight up.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Just be direct. Just be like, listen, we've been drinking
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: all day. We're starving. Can we get brunch tomorrow? And
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: she would have been fine.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, well.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: And now I feel bad. I'm like, not great. Now
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: I look like this massive bitch who didn't want this
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: girl to come to dinner. I'm like, no, I was
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: just starving and wanted spicy rigatoni immediately.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Good on you, though, because then you have to voice
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: it because then you get put in the position of a, okay,
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: we have to look at the situation for what it is.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: We're going to wait three hours. Even though I'm sure
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: in your mind, I would have gone back and forth
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: in my head. I'd have been like, if I make
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: a fuss about this, I look bad. But I just
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: know the situation. If we wait three hours, we're not
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: going to make it. We're going to regret that even more.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: I have to say something.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Yes, because I'm the trip planner friend. I know how
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: things are. I feel like I'm a little clairvoyant. I
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: know how things are going to go. And also, that
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: wasn't the game plan we agreed on. So now I
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: feel betrayed. And it's fine. Me and my best friend
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: talked it out. Me and her have great... great great
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: conflict management to where she's like yeah I shouldn't have
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: done that and I was like yeah and then we
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: went to dinner it was great but there was a
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: moment where I woke up the next morning after everything
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: happened and I found out that she was upset I
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: was like I can't decide if I'm not the I
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: thought I was being good and being direct but I'm
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: like would a better person have just caved and waited
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: the extra couple of hours for her to have dinner
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: with us like I can't decide whether I'm like not
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: nice enough of a person to make that leeway. Or
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: if I was in the right for being direct.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: No, I don't think so.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: Cause it's, if it was something that was already planned,
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: if it was like, okay, you're coming into town. Also
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: got a best friend. We're going to do dinner at 10.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: And then you get to that time. You're like, actually,
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: let's move it up and let's cancel. That's, that's a
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: dick move.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: That would be throwing somebody... But the call just happened.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: They were all, like, last... We were, like, maybe going
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: to meet her for dinner. I don't know what conversations
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: they were having, so I really don't even know what
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: the context for their relationship is. All I knew was
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: we left the danger, and I'm sitting there, and, like,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: we got to eat. We got to... I've been here
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: for two hours. I'm in Miami for a day. Let's
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: go do something, and if we sit here, I know
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: I'm going to fall asleep. I know you're going to
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: fall asleep, and then she's going to drive down, and then, yeah.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: It's just not even going to be worth it. Yeah,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: I think that's just being... It's looking at the situation
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: and seeing it for what it is.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: Like you have to have those realistic glasses on because
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: we had the same thing in Chicago. We went out
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: to a concert on Friday and there's an awesome venue
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: called the Salt Shed, which is so funky.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: They have an outdoor venue and an indoor venue.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: And we're at this concert and we met up with
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: Brianna's friends right before that just happened to be in
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: Chicago at the same time. It was a weird overlap
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: of the universe. And she hasn't seen this friend in
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: probably a year and a half, two years. And so
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: we're doing a quick catch up at the hotel bar.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: for maybe 30 minutes. And in that conversation, we're like, look,
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: like y'all are going to a hockey game. We're going
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: to a concert. Let's meet up after that. We're both
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: going to be vibing.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so fun.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Well, we go out to the concert. I mean, again,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: we're having some drinks. They're having some drinks.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: We get in the Uber and we're automatically like, there
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: is no way we are going back out. We have
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: had drinks. It's now 1130. We got to call it
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: how we see it. And so the friend messaged over.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: They're like, hey, like we're over at this Irish bar.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: And I give so much credit to Brianna because she
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: did exactly that. She's like, I can't. I will fall
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: asleep at the bar. I'm like, well, then that's okay. Like,
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: I'm right there with you. I love an inside night.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: I'm tired.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: I want to get in my bed because part of
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: the vacation, too, is also knowing that it's okay to relax.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: And being able to just be like, hey, no hard feelings.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: It's just we're not going to make it happen. I
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: love you. I want to see you. We'll just have
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: to make it happen another time.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Well, also, were you going to see them the next day?
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: No, not the next day because they were flying out earlier.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: So it would have been a thing of like, should we? Yes.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: But in the same thought, no, because it wouldn't have
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: been as enjoyable as it should have been.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Because like once that alcohol hits and. Oh. The
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: melatonin starts rushing through your veins. It is torture trying
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: to stay awake.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Like that. That's why there are some nights where I
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: know I can't drink wine because I'm like, I know
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be drinking or I'm going to be
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: up for a while. And I know that if I
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: have wine, I'm going to be sitting in an Uber
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: somewhere about to pass out.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah. That's why it's like you got to just know
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: when to call it. And I love that part about
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: this age now. Because like, I mean, we still, you know,
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: go back and forth. We still sometimes think we could
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: push it too far.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: Then that's when the regretful things happen. You're like, all right,
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: we went too hard. But it's a cool moment when
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: we looked at each other. We're like, let's just go
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: back to the hotel. Like, let's just go back and enjoy.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: We've got a beautiful bed waiting for us. Like, that's
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: part of the stay as well. So knowing when to
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: call it, I give you a lot of kudos for saying,
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: you know what?
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: That's too much.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you got to know when to call it. And
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: it was great because my therapist also wanted me to
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: have these deep conversations with my brother. I mean, this
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: is the friend I've known and been friends with the longest.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: We've been friends for a little over 11 years. I
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: met her freshman year of college. She was in my sorority.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: And we both bonded over the fact that we didn't
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: get into the same house that we both thought we
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: wanted to be in.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Which, in hindsight, we would have never fit in in
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: that house. Or maybe we would have. I don't know.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Who knows?
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: But that's how we met. And my therapist wanted me
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: to ask her two different questions, which I felt like
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: were very backhanded. When my therapist asked me to ask
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: her these questions, I was like, are you trying to communicate?
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Are you being passive aggressive with me right now? She
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: wanted me to ask her, am I easy to be
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: friends with? And what kind of friend am I?
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: Ooh.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: The first one's tough because I don't know if that ever,
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: is there any good answer? No.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Like, am I easy to be friends with? Like, I
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: don't know. Veronica, like what do you answer to? Like,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: it seems like there could have been a better way
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: to ask that. Like, I think what kind of friend
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: am I is maybe a, less passive aggressive way to
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: ask that question.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: That's a good one because you can hear about the
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: qualities but not am i a good i'm not.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Gonna lie i was a little nervous to ask her
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: i was like i don't know is does veronica think
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: i'm like hard to be friends with because we were
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: talking about a lot of my friendship breakups and i've
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: been through some things where i really feel like i
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: did my best to save those relationships i'm not saying
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: i've ever been nobody is perfect like i've not been
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: um flawless and any conflict or my relationships. But I
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: think the one thing that I, on a lot of things,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: malicious is not one. And, um, I always feel like
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: I try to go to the max in terms of
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: making sure that like, I've kept my side of the
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: street clean. And if there's still bitterness or if there's
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: if it's not reciprocated, like if I don't feel like
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: there's mutual respect in a relationship, then I'm like, that's
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: not a friendship that I'm going to continue. And then
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: this is just the end.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: And so when I, my therapist asked me to ask
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: her that question, I was like, Veronica, like I really
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: tried very hard to be an easy friend. Um, and
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: so I asked my best friend, Virginia, that I was like, okay,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: these are the two questions. Like, please be nice about it.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: And I said, am I easy to be friends with?
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: And she immediately goes, oh my God.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: The easiest.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, thank you for answering so
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: quickly because I was worried you were going to hesitate.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: So anxious for the answer that's about to be returned.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: And she just described exactly like how I explained our relationship.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Like we've been friends for 11 years. There have been
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: seasons where we don't really talk all the time. And
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: every now and then we'll be like, oh, my God,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: did you see that girl got engaged? And we'll like
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: talk shit about that. And then we're back. Or, hey,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: it's been a year since I've seen you. Can I
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: come visit? And it's just like we hit the ground running.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Easy to catch up.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: And we've been I've seen so many different versions of her.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: She's seen so many different versions of me. That we've
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: been able to sustain this friendship, that I know we
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: have so much care for each other because no matter
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: what phase of life we're in, we've always just stuck
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: by each other. And I just so appreciate that about her,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: that we can just have a good time in any scenario.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: She's the easiest person to hang out with. And then
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: I asked her, the other question was, what kind of
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: friend am I? Which I got nervous about too. I
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: was like, okay, I'm glad that I'm easy, but then
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I feel like this is a little bit
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: more descriptive. And the interesting thing that she said about
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: me as a friend to her. She said, I'm very validating,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: which I appreciated because I think that's important. Like with
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: your friends, a part of being a woman is sometimes
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: you vocalize things verbally to process them. And sometimes when
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: you know your friend is capable and you know your
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: friend is like a, like a good human, you don't
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: need to fix things for them. Like if she's going
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: through something, I don't, I can't fix her. Like that's her.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Like she's got to do whatever she can to make
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: her life the way that she wants it to be.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: So sometimes like when people process things verbally with you,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: you just have to validate them. And just be like, yeah,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: that girl was a bitch. That girl was a bitch.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: You did the best that you could.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: That's one of the hardest lessons, especially as like a
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: dude to learn.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: Because we are so like in the fixing mindset of
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: you're going to tell me what's going on.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: I'm going to fix it. Rah, rah, hoorah.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: And to learn to just listen and just hear somebody through.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: And you know that at the end of the day,
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: they're going to do what they want to do.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: And being there to validate what they want. go ahead.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: I see you. I support you. I'll be here with
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: you through the entire course of it.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: It's your life. You're an autonomous human being. So just like, please,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: by all means, shit, talk to me. I want to hear,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: I want to hear what's going on. But like I,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: at the end of the day, like I can't make
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: you do anything. Like I can give you my opinion
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: and I'll be nice about the opinion. Just like with
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: the weird back and forth we had with the friend
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: where she was like, I'm anxious about it. I'm like, listen,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: I would be so anxious about it too, but I'm
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: here to tell you as like an outsider, it's going
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: to be fine. You just have to call her, just
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: give her a call and just be like, Hey, this
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: is what happened and it's gonna be fine that's.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: A great quality of a friend to just put it
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: back in the guardrails because I think a lot of
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: us deal with those thoughts but we don't express it
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: and then on the other end of it we need
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: somebody to say wait a second let's from the outside
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: looking in now you're blowing it up way out of proportion.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Like there's no, I think when, when you get into
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: an anxious thought spiral too, it's a lot of shame. Like,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Oh my God, there must be something wrong with me
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: if I made this decision. And it's like, sometimes like, I,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: I think from her standpoint, she got really anxious about
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: how her friend was going to react to us canceling plans.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: And so the lens she's viewing life through is if
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: I don't like, I need her to cancel on me.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: So I don't look like a bad guy. Whereas sometimes again,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: like I said, sometimes when you try and avoid just
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: being direct, not that you become the bad guy, but
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: it's very much easier for you to look like, the
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: bad guy in the end because now what we wanted
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: to happen didn't happen.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Like people rather you just be honest about it.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: And that's where you could call yourself out. Like, I
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: thought this was a good idea. I didn't think it,
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: you know, I, I overshot what I thought was going.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: To be able to be done. That's on me. And
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: just being able to call yourself out for it.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: I actually really think that's a, a powerful conversation and
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: I'm glad you actually had it because I know we
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: talked about it last week.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: That's a big ask.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: Let's go on.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: We have 24 hours, but let's make sure some of
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: it deals with some deep stuff here.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: I got to call my other friend Taylor today and
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: ask her, too. Because I left her on such a cliffhanger.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: I was like, listen, Veronica wants me to ask you
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: two questions. And she's like, oh, God. So she calls
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: me as my friend Tori is coming. um, to pick
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: me up for, we went to sushi on Thursday and
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: I was like, Oh my God, I'm gonna have to
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: call you back. And she goes, well, this guy that
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: I'm dating is flying in. So I'm not gonna be
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: able to talk to you until the end of the weekend.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: So she's just on the edge of her seat waiting.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: For these questions, which I'm so excited for my friend
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Taylor because she's, she's in the same boat as me. We're,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: we're both in our late twenties, early thirties. And we're
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: just like, where the fuck are all the good men?
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: And I think she's found somebody really great. And I'm
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: dying to know. I think it's going well. I was
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: just kind of checking in with her over the weekend.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: I was like, I'm on the edge of my seat.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Like what's going on? And he's a former Rays player. Like,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: he's like a, I know.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: Jesus.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: He doesn't live where she lives. And they met through
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: mutual friends. And I think it went really well.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: That's awesome. What's just kind of funny about it is
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: those things do just happen randomly.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: You're like, none, none, none, none.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Oh, hey.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: And then it's just to the moon.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Love is back, baby.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: Love is back. You got to believe in it some way.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Love is back.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: So we went over the weekend. So I think I
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: talked about this on the podcast. But one of the
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: things that I wanted to do on this experience is
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: I wanted to go and stay at a really nice hotel.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: So we stayed at the Ritz-Carlton in Chicago. I wanted
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: to be bougie as hell. And for the podcast fam,
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: this is all help because of a credit card. What
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: credit card did you get?
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Wait, no free ads.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no free ads. But one that gets all
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: the points.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: I've had these points for a while and this started,
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: maybe we talked about this on the podcast, but I
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: got this credit card because I wanted to eventually go
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: first class on an Emirates flight.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: I wanted to see what that was like.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: I decided over the past couple months, I was like...
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: I could do something way cooler for longer than go
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: on a flight for a couple hours.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: So let me use these points toward the Chicago trip,
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: and that's where we did. So we ended up staying
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: at the Ritz-Carlton. I was blown away from what this
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: stay was like because.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: I know a good hotel.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Which Ritz-Carlton was it? Just Ritz-Carlton, downtown Chicago?
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Ritz-Carlton, Chicago.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Downtown Chicago.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: And here's what I found so funny is because, like,
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: I'm not a bougie guy.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: I don't do a lot of fancy things. And so
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: when something goes above and beyond.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, swanky.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's swanky. It was nice.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: I was blown away from the very beginning that they
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: just had a doorman. So already we're off to the
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: ground running because we go in there. They greet us
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: at the door. They welcome us in. But here's where
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: I started cracking myself up. If you're like me and
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: you're just like, I'm not used to the fancy stuff.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: That first night I decided to get like room service
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: because we were getting ready to go to the show.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: We didn't have time to go to a dinner and
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: I ordered room service and I've done this one other
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: time and I did it on a cruise and they
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: just bring it to your room. That's fine on a
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: plate and they just put it on your little bedside
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: table and they're like, enjoy.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: I opened the door.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: And they have this whole ass table that they wheel
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: into the room.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: They got the tablecloth.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: They got seven different condiments and these mini bottles that
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: you could use. The guy walks all the way into
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: the room, uncovers it, lays the napkin over my lap,
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: pours me a glass of wine, and I'm sitting there.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: It looks like I'm at a five-star restaurant in the
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: middle of my hotel.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Room having this dinner.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's so nice.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: It was one of the greatest experiences, just that alone.
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: But then I tried to get something that was reasonably priced.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: It was like a grilled chicken sandwich. I kid you not,
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: probably the greatest grilled chicken sandwich I've ever had.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Oh, heck yeah.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: And I don't say that because it was like a
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: nice hotel. It tasted so good.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: It blew me away that I almost didn't want to
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: go to any other restaurants because I was like, they
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: have this much good food here and it's right up
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: the hall.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah. This is incredible.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: But that is an experience that I will always see.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: This is what happened when I got to do first
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: class for the first time on a flight. Now I'm
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: chasing that. Now I'm like, what other places live up
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: to that and where can I make that happen next?
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: I don't know when because that was a very, very
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: pricey trip. But that experience alone was to die for.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it was a birthday trip. It was. It's
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: the thing to do.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: It really was. And it was worth every little bit
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: of it.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: But I was cracking up as they wheel in this
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: whole entire table that I'm like.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: Y'all going to leave this in here?
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: What do I do with this now?
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: But they come and they get it. I'm like, this
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: is one of the coolest experiences I have ever had.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: Did you eat anywhere cool? Because I know you made
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: a reservation somewhere. What was the place called?
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so there's a lot of recommendations, and I love this.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: They recommended Pequod's.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: Pequod's?
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: Ah, yes.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: My good friend Pequod's. It's P-E-Q-U-O-D-S. I've put it many
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: times in my Google.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: French? I don't know.
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: Pizza? Pizza? I guess so I had a reservation because
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: I saw this place online and everyone raved about their
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: pizza however it's kind of like the boat situation where
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: I knew the day of I wouldn't have wanted to
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: rush somewhere so I had a reservation for like four
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: it was the only time that they had the day
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: before I cancelled it because I figured that you know
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: what on Saturday is going to be our day off
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: to just do anything we want in the city I
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: don't want there to be any rush Because I know
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: we might want to stay at a place a little longer.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: Or we might want to walk on the river walk
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: and grab a drink. And so what I did is
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: I ended up canceling that and I wanted the day
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: to just be free flow. Where we wanted to go,
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: we could go right in that moment and we'll find
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: a way. The one that we did go to that's
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: very famous and so many celebrities have gone to is
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: the Billy Goat Tavern.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I've heard a lot about that.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: That place was dope.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Oh my god.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: In what way?
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: It was just very like... It's a touristy spot, but
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: it's not. Because you have to go under this bridge
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: to get in it. And you just feel like you're
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: taken back in time to like an old school... Imagine
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: like an old school Five Guys. Where it's like you're sitting,
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: watching all the people grill up these like just greasy
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: ass burgers. You go in, they just hand you the
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: burger on a piece of paper and tell you to
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: get on your way. But there's so many people in
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: line because you know it's a Chicago staple. And we
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: sat there. And the one thing I was disappointed in,
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: because when I looked online... I wanted us to have
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: two things. I wanted us to have a Chicago pizza
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: deep dish. And I wanted us to have a Chicago
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: hot dog. Well, this place online, the picture said it
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: had Chicago dogs. So we get up to the front.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: I'm like, do you guys have any Chicago? They're like, no.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, okay.
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: Well, we just waited 15 minutes in line. We're not
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: turning back. And this is a staple in Chicago. So
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: I was like, okay, fine. They gave us a dog.
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: They have all the condiments. We just make our own.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: But for some reason, it tasted so good. It was
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: just a regular. We got a double cheeseburger and a
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: hot dog, and it was fantastic.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Oh, yum.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: Like, the bread was delicious. The burgers were cooked perfectly.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: And what was so cool was, like, if you sat
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: down and you're just looking at these walls of all
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: these celebrities that have been there. And one of the
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: names that I saw a ton of was, like, Bill
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: Murray and, like, the Blues Brothers used to go there
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: all the time. So a lot of, like, Saturday Night
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: Live stars were. would just come, and I think they
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: did a skit once at this Billy Goat Tavern.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't know that about Chicago, that it's a
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: really big comedy city. Like a lot of the SNL
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: people go to Chicago to flex their comedy skills, and
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: then they go to New York.
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: Uh-huh. It's like back and forth, because I think there's
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: a couple, my buddy's really into comedies like New York, Chicago,
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: Austin's another big one, and Texas area, or of course L.A.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: But going in there, you're just starstruck, and it's nothing
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: fancy about it. You're just sitting at a regular place
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: that has burgers and hot dogs and a bar. But
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: you're just brought back in time to see a place
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: that's been around for just decades. And some of the
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: biggest stars have come through. And truthfully, the food was fantastic. Cheap, fantastic,
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: hit the spot. But we weren't overly stuffed where we
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: couldn't do anything else after that.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: So the first day you did the concert, what did
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: you do all day on Saturday? Just bop around?
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: So Saturday, it's exactly how I anticipated it to be.
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: That's why I didn't book anything. That's why I didn't
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: book the you know, Pequod's pizza or the boat tour.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: We got up and we just enjoyed waking up because
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: the view that we had, we looked over at the
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: water of Lake Michigan through the city. So we got
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: to see the sunrise through the room. We slowly got
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: up and we made our way down to go see
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: the bean. So it was a couple, it was like
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: a mile down. But the walk to get there was amazing,
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: and I knew this would happen, because there's a couple
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: spots along the walk. The first spot, they had this
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: massive Harry Potter store. I saw it on the map,
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: but I didn't know it was gonna be this cool.
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: We walk inside, there's people getting sorted into the right house,
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: they have an automatic sorter machine. They got every bit
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: of merchandise that you could imagine in Harry Potter. And
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: I'm not a massive Potterhead, but I'm a pretty medium Potterhead.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: I read all the books. I like that world. So
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: they had this whole bar set up where you could
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: get all the Butterbeer drinks, all the Butterbeer cakes, and
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: the coffees. So we got a nice Butterbeer coffee, and
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: we started walking down. They have this massive Starbucks roastery.
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: It's one of the biggest in the world. It's three stories.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: We did not go into that. Just looked in the window.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: Looked awesome, but the line was probably a mile long.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: But then we just decided to go walk to the Bean.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: Took probably 3,000 photos of the Bean.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: Love it.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: And I wanted to go to this place called Wild Berries, like,
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: I don't know, Pancakes and More, something.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: I went there my first time. I went to Chicago,
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: and I loved it. I don't know how I got
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: in the one time, but the line was an hour long.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: no so we get online really quick And we find
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: this little tiny like diner, but a locals spot like
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: nobody else talks about it's called.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: Like Pittsfield Pittsfield cafe.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: And I love a diner where you sit at the
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: bar They're just talking back and forth with you feel
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: up your coffee constantly And it's in the middle of
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: this apartment building you like just go in it's right
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: at the lobby and And they got this beautiful outside
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: of the diner, quiet, easy, romantic. But then there's also
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: the inside of the diner where it's busy, it's bustling,
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: it's fun. And a lot of the Chicago natives are
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: from different parts of the world. So they're all speaking Spanish.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: My girlfriend speaks Spanish. They're speaking Spanish together. There's Mexican
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: music being.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: Played in the kitchen.
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: So it was this fun vibe. So from there, we
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: just slowly started making our way down to the Riverwalk.
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: We got a nice little food, and I knew once
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: we had stuffed up in our bellies all this food
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: from the diner, we need to walk. And the one
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: thing we talked about on the podcast, just walk the
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: Riverwalk and see what happens. Yeah. I rave a lot
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: about our Riverwalk here in Tampa, and I've fought for
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: years that we have the best.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: I am mistaken.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Chicago really is a beautiful city.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: It's gorgeous.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: It's such a shame that for, like, Five months out
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: of the year, it's covered in snow.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: That's the only part that's keeping me from, like, I
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: would go to Chicago.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: I would live in Chicago with the vibe that it
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: had because it has the big city.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: It has the energy. And going on the Riverwalk, I mean,
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: they had bars and restaurants everywhere. and different vibes all
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: throughout it.
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: You could go to a quiet little like wine, sit down,
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: look at the water. And it's just so beautiful that
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: you're just taken aback. Or we walk, I don't know,
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: 400 feet up the river walk. And now there's a
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: fall festival going on. They got a full live band.
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: They got pumpkins everywhere. People are dancing.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: They got pints of beer being passed out. Like this
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: is the coolest thing ever.
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: So we walked the entire thing probably like twice and
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: just sat at different places to enjoy the different energies.
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: And one of them, they had this like It felt
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: like a, almost like an Oktoberfest vibe.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: It's called like the Northmen.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: And you sit there, we got a pint of beer
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: and we just sat under a tree and just people
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: watched for probably an hour. And that is the moment
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: that I wanted, that I knew if I had a
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: reservation for the other pizza place, we would have had
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: to rush. And we sat there and just talked and
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: laughed and laughed at the birds and dog watched. And
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: we also saw a fight happen because this was crazy.
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: This was like, honestly, there was a couple moments in
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: Chicago where, That I was on such high alert that
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: I was like, I do not want to have to
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: step in. I do not want to have to break
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: up a fight. And I also don't want to fight,
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: but I will if I have to.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: So we're sitting there under this tree and it's absolutely beautiful.
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: But there's some solicitors that walk by. I guess one
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: of the entertainment things that was happening down the street
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: is like this basketball team. And so they're walking out
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: trying to give people tickets. It's one of those things
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: that's like you're sitting in downtown St.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: Peter, Tampa. You just tell them, no, no, thank you.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: And they go on their way.
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, this guy goes up to this, you know,
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: probably four old people, older people. And I will say
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: they were crotchety as hell. But this dude was not
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: taking their shit. So the guy goes up to the
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: older gentleman at the table.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: And is like, hey, you doing this basketball thing? And
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: the lady starts going off on him. No, thank you.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: No, thank you.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: Move on.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: Move on.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: Makes it so much of a bigger situation that the
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: guy ends up getting in her face and is like
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: calling her the B word and like going off on
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: her and telling the.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: Guy that if you don't get your woman, I'm going to.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. I'm like this.
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: It's partly like Brianna and I are kind of laughing
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: at the situation because we're like, ma'am, you could have
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: just easily said no, thank you and had them go
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: on their way.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: But you're turning this situation to a point where it's
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: almost dangerous. Yeah.
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: Like this guy's about to do something that is going
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: to be very, very bad for everyone in the situation. Luckily,
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: security gets involved, takes the solicitor out. The old people
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: end up leaving.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: And I'm like.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: That's also the part of the city that I have
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: to recognize because there's so many people, there's higher chances
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: for something like that to happen.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: And that wasn't the only thing that happened.
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: Like we were at dinner and I remember like, there's
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: a beautiful Italian restaurant. We're at that night and this
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: random guy, I don't know, maybe some kind of mental
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: illness going on. He walks right up to the window
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: as we're like eating there. And he's like about to
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: just like smash the window. And I'm like, what is
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: he about to do? Like, again, in my core, I'm like,
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: I do not want to have to intervene, but I
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: will if I have to, especially because Brianna's sitting right
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: by the window. I'm like, babe, do not look. Because
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: I don't want anybody to, like, charge up the situation.
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: If we say something, look at him, he's going to
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: want to have a reaction, so he's going to do
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: something drastic. I don't know, get naked, break a window,
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: start yelling at people.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: Luckily, he left.
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: But those are a couple moments in the city where
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: I was like, still a big city at the end
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: of the day.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: It's a lot bigger of a city than, like, Tampa.
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: Like, Tampa's big, it's fun, but ain't nothing like a
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: Chicago where there's just people everywhere.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: Everywhere at all hours of the night.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean when I think of the big three
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: I do think of Chicago LA in New York like
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: those three I'm like those are the three big American cities.
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm And I did love that charm about it though
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: like I will say I think Chicago is my favorite
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: of the big cities because it had all the charm
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: and it just The people.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: Were just easygoing.
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: I mean it was crowded, but it wasn't overly crowded
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: It was talkative But it wasn't like overly aggressive or
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: like get in your face or you have to do
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: all these things like there's people on the street trying
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: to sell things and But they're not overly aggressive trying
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: to sell things, you know?
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: A good balance of it.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: It's a big city for people who are not big
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: city people.
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: I love that vibe of it. So that's what we
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: pretty much did all Saturday. We walked the Riverwalk. We
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: went out to Billy Goat Tavern, which I loved. And
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: then we went back to the hotel. And this was
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: like you said, we were sitting on the couch with
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: your friend just waiting, seeing like we either got to
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: get up or just enjoy.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: We sat on the couch because I've never been in
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: a fancy hotel. They give you robes. In slippers?
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's an experience. It was awesome.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: We sat on the couch.
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: In our robes and just put on game two of
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: the Rays, which was very exciting in the beginning.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: And then it was very unexciting towards the end.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: Luckily, we didn't see that part.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: We passed out.
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: Well, we were sitting on the couch and we're like,
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: let's just enjoy. You know, we don't have to rush
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: off and do all these things. So we sat and
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: probably watched about an hour of baseball. And then we
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: got up and went to the Italian restaurant, which was
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: like family owned. It was called Eduardo's.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: Nice.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: In- Incredible.
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: Walked through the city, got to see all the different
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: energies that were going on, and then went back to
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: the hotel because we had an early flight the next morning.
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: There are a couple places that we wanted to go.
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: We wanted to go to the Green Mill, which is
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: very famous, a jazz bar. Decided, put it off for
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: the next trip. Wanted to go to Picudes or whatever,
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: the pizza place. Put it off for the next trip.
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: The riverboat, put it off for the next trip. We
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: hit the perfect amount of things where we weren't overly exhausted,
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: but we got to see a big amount of Chicago.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So when are you going to go back to Chicago?
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: Not when it's cold.
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: You got to wait like another year.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: I would like to go in the spring.
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: Either spring or fall. But I do love that city.
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: And it's kind of like, you know, taking the trip
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: to Nashville or taking the trip to Miami.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: Where it's like, wait a second. We did that in
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: 36 hours. We can make that trip happen again.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: Oh, for sure. But also in the summer, Chicago is
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: supposed to be. I mean, the only time I've been
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: to Chicago is June and it was gorgeous. And then
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: in October and it was just as nice.
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was the perfect weather where that's the payoff, though.
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: It's like you go and it's nice for eight months.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: Before it's hell.
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: It's like we have the opposite here. Like we have
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: four months where it's absolute hell because of heat. And
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: then the other seven, eight are pretty enjoyable.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's temperate.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: For the most part.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: But it was just such a fun trip because that
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: was our first solo trip together. We've gone out and
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: met friends. We've gone down and met family at these
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: different places that we've gone together. But we've never had
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: a solo trip, just us, where we got to decide
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: what we did.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: And it was.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: Perfect.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: So fun. But it went well.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: Me too. Me too.
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: It makes me very excited for what we're going to
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: travel and do next. I mean, I don't know if
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: I'm ever going to rent a car again, if that's
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: ever going to happen.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that was the move.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: I don't think it was. And I thought that as
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: I was getting the car. I was like, damn it, Scott.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: I think I did too much. And I did. And
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: that's fine. You know what?
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: We live and we learn. But I think next time,
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: just going to trust the Ubers or take the train.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, sometimes you got to pay for the expense up
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: front so you don't have to pay for it on
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: the back end.
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll go through that experience again. But next time,
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: I believe we're going to the big one that we
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: got coming up. Now it's fun to kind of look ahead.
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: You know, we go to a year from now, we
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: go to Italy for a friend's wedding.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: Yay.
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: So that's one that I might rent a car in
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: Italy to get all around those little areas.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I wouldn't do that. Nope. Driving in Italy is
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: a feat. When we were on the Amalfi Coast a
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: month ago, I was like... I mean, I was panicked
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: the whole time, because I'm like, one wrong move from anybody,
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: and we're over the side of this cliff.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: That's a good point.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you're just driving through, like, Tuscany, I'm
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: sure it's fine, but still, like, there's rules you don't
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: know about, and, yeah, sometimes you just gotta, like, hire somebody.
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that might be the move, though, too,
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: because there are areas, and that's why it's like, I'm
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: gonna go to you as the Italy expert.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I think just travel, not expert, but I've
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: been around the block a few times.
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: You've seen a couple, like, I've only seen.
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: Rome and then like way northern Italy but the weddings
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: in Rome and might as well you're there so might
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: as well see the other ones like I've heard of
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: like you gotta see Venice I would like to see
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: Tuscany like I don't know I don't even know like
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: what part of the region these things are but to
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: take the time while we're there to at least go
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: see them and the only way I thought in my
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: head I was like well you gotta run a car
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: but I don't know maybe there's another way.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: Well you can also take they have really great public
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: transportation you could take a train to another city so
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: you don't have to drive and then you can actually
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: enjoy the scenery as you're as you're.
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: Going down That's true, where you don't have to be
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: worrying about what road rules are about to break.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, although Venice, I think, is like an island, so
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: you have to fly, I think.
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: Okay, in that case, we've got a lot of planning
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: to do. But a beautiful trip. And again, thank you
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: for all the recommendations. I didn't get to all of it.
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: It's just impossible to do.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: Next trip.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: Next trip.
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: I will make sure to go see the architecture boat
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: tour and hit up Pecudes Green Mill. Abby, anything else
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: happening before we rush to this sales meeting?
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: I don't think so, you guys. Thanks for tuning in.
