  Speaker 1: Hello, Welcome to a very lonely episode of the Top
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Five Podcast. I truly hope that a this is recording.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: This is my first time being on the recording side
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: of things. I also don't have my work wife, Jason
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Brown with me. He is currently in Las Vegas, Nevada
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: for the iHeartRadio Music Festival. He's working that, so shout
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: out to him. He is also working it with a
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: busted knee. He has a torn meniscus. He's actually getting
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: surgery next week. So you may get some lonely episodes
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: with just me, or maybe I'll find a guest for
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: next week. And truly, this has been something I've been
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: dreading doing. I don't love to do something solo. I
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: think it's a skill that not a lot of people have,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: and I think it's difficult to do. So if you're
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: listening to one of those like solo talk sports show
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: or you know, anything where someone is just talking talking
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: to themselves, and just know that it's it's a very
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: specific skill that not everyone has.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: So you know, here we go.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: I wanted to do this because, well, let me talk
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: about what the Top five podcast is. If for some reason,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: this is the episode that you stumble Upon. First, I
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: would not recommend this being your first episode because usually
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: there's two of us. But it is a podcast where
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: we pick five things each week that we are absolutely
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: obsessed with, and then we pick one thing that either
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: made us cry or crash out that week. And it
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: started because I always say that's in my top five,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: that's in my top five, and I just thought it
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: was like a fun little podcast. Idem we did not
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: record last week either, and you know, I would love
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: to address that. And the reason honestly that I'm doing
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: this solo episode that I don't love doing that kind
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: of scares me a little bit, is for one of
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: our our tops, Ashley, and she is very bravely battling
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: breast cancer right now, and she's been a supportive top
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: the entire time. We love her, but we just found
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: out that she's battling this and she says that sometimes
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: she listens to these episodes during chemo. So after she
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: told me that, I was like, Okay, mamma, I got you.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: I am not going to not give you an episode
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: to listen to this week. Albeit I don't know if
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: this is as exciting as when Jason and I are together,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: but I wanted to give you something. So this is
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: dedicated to Ashley keep Fighting. I shared her go fund me.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: It's very expensive. I have the biggest admiration for what
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: she's going through. I have a personal connection to breast cancer,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: and actually I have been running away from a mammogram
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: for years, and so also Ashley and your honor. I
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: am going to schedule that as soon as I can.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: I have been putting it off for far too long.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I was supposed to get one when I.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Was thirty, YadA YadA.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: My my nana was a breast cancer survivor.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: She got it around forty. So they want me to
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: get in.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm getting close to the age that she
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: was when she got it, so they want me to
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: get in. And it's one of those things that you know,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: there's a wait list, and I keep putting it off,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: and I'm putting it on here so that everyone holds
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: me accountable. But shout out, Ashley. We are here for you,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: We love you. And the reason that we didn't record
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: last week so funny. It was just such a heavy week,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: which is not funny. But Jason and I I think
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: just telepathically said to each other, like I know what
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: you got going on, you know what I got going on.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: We didn't even bring it up because when Friday came,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: we were both like, we're getting out of here. I
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: just think I've talked about it, I've alluded to it
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: a little bit. I have this weird thing happening in
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: my life where my career and work is going well
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: and I'm getting some of the things that I've always
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: dreamed of and prayed for, wished for, and then my
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: personal life is struggling a little bit. And I always
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: feel like that's what happens. One's up and the other
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: one's down, and it can't all be up. And I
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: also know that I tend to not feel comfortable when
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: things are just like good or settled, So I don't
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: know if that would be even something that I would
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: feel comfort sitting in. But aside from you know, having
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: some family issues, having some loved ones in the hospital
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: for various reasons, also just this country, it's very heavy
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: to be a human right now. It's because this is,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: you know, my podcast. I feel like I'm sure a
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: lot of the people who are listening to it are
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: people that are similar to me, who are people who
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: have empathy and feel things, and.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: It's it was a lot, a lot.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Coming at us and me personally on top of everything
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I was going through, and I just didn't feel like
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I really had the words just a little you know,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: peek behind the curtain.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: I guess on me is.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: And if you listen to the morning show I'm on,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: you may know this, or if you follow me on social.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: But my sister goes to Michigan State University go Gringo White.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Where I went as well.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: And I can't tell you, guys how excited I was
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: when she decided to go to the same school I
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: went to. Albeit you know, at one point she wanted
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: to go to like somewhere in Colorado or whatever, and I,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: you know, I would get that too. East Lansing is
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: in the most beautiful place. But I was really excited
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: when she chose Michigan State.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: And I know the.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Transition was hard. Freshman year is really hard. When she
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: was going through what I asked all my friends, what
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: was your least favorite year? And they all said freshman year,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: it's difficult and there's a lot of change at that age.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: And I just felt like right when she was starting
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: to enjoy school, there was a she at the school
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: and it just, of course was one of the worst
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: days of my life. Every Valentine's Day, I think about
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: it and I think about her, you know, I'm it's
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: not to take away from actually being there. I mean,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: the majority of the trauma goes to her and you know,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: whatever she thinks feels about it. But as a big
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: sister who's thirteen years apart, you just don't forget the
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: helpless feeling of hearing that someone is there's an active shooter.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: At one point, they were reporting that there were multiple
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: active shooters and they.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: He was at large for a while. He ended up
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: killing himself.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: But that's all of that's to say, is a lot
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: of times when these things come up, they're very triggering
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: for a lot of people. And I don't think everyone
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: necessarily realizes.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: That or talks about that.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, yes, so many people at this point have
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: been touched by school shootings and gun violence. And I
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: was one of the lucky ones that my sister, albeit
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: with trauma, is okay, and you know, her roommates are okay.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Again they you know, one of the poor girls sleeps
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: with you know, I think they barricade their door.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, I I don't get the I can't imagine
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: the fear that comes with them, but.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: It's very triggering when the stuff comes up over and
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: over and over again. And you know, it's just all
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: of the things online and the arguing and talk about guns.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: I just felt really exhausted, And to be honest, I
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: feel like on my side of the street, I have
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: always spoken about what I think is right in terms
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: of gun control, in terms of these shootings, I've always
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: spoken about it and shared about it, and I have
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: to be honest sometimes I feel like, where was everybody
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: or are why are we selective about what we're speaking
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: up about?
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: You know? But I am. I'm just.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Thinking of everyone who was triggered by anything that happened
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: last week. You know, whether you knew people in the
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Colorado schools shot shooting, whether you were a fan, you
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: know of someone that was killed over gun violence. I mean,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: it's I'm just thinking of everyone, and it's just really
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: heavy and I want to live in a place that
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: feels respectful and feels like we can have these conversations
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: without it going to the extreme.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: So that's my part on that.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: I won't spend too much time on that, but just
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: just think about, think about people who are affected by
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: stuff like that, and how triggering it can be just
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: as a message. And so that's pretty much why we
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: didn't record last week. It was the heavy week, and
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: I didn't feel like I had much to say, but
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: I wanted to give you guys at least a little
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: mini episode. And if you don't know about Jason, he
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: not only is on the morning show with me, but
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: he is also the head of promotions at our job.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: So he not only does the show and does stuff
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: for the show all day long, he has a whole
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: nother dust job that he does afterwards. So his schedule
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: is really wild and crazy, and you know, he's a
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: busy boy, and so he has to literally go do
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio festivals in Vegas. There's a Country one, there's
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: a one in Miami. Like he gets asked to go
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: do all those things, which is actually his passion. He
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: loves putting on shows and concerts and so he loves
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: doing these things. So we're happy for him that he's there,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: But he is a busy, busy boy, and so we
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: will always try to make make it work for the pod.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: We're still planning on trying to make a live event work,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: but between his surgery and his schedule it is it
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: is crazy. And I asked one of my friends to
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: come on and her schedule is a little bit crazy
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: as well. So I'll keep working on guests and in
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: the meantime give you my little mini top five of
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: the week just so the tops can have something. Okay,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: So here are my top five of this week. All right,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: so let's see what do I want to start with? Jure? Okay,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: I'll start with something to watch, and I feel like
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: by now everyone should have watched it, although it was
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: spoiled for me and just about everyone I know, So
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: I am not going to go into details. I just
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: am going to say, if you have not watched Unknown
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Number the High School Catfish, it's on NETFL, I'm gonna
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: need you to watch it. And it is a real case.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: It's something that really happened, so do not google it.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: It happened in Michigan. But if you don't want it
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: spoiled for you, and you've somehow avoided the spoilers, then
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: do not look it up because you'll find out what happens.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: And shout out to my damn from Missing Mikayla.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Who she posted about it on social and I was like,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: oh no, but I will say even then, I didn't
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: know which version of the person that she said in
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: her post, so it wasn't totally spoiled.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: But even if you know who would ends up being,
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: still watch it.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: It's absolutely insane and the premise is basically a couple kids,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: high schoolers in Michigan who start receiving these really disgusting,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: sometimes threatening, creepy text messages of someone who very clearly
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: knows their every move and about their life. And I,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm watching, like, why can't you black this? Well,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: the person was using one of those number things where
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: you can switch and send messages from a different number
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: every time, So I definitely I'm not gonna say anymore,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: but I think that you do find out, I know,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: you find out the person who is sending the text messages,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: and I think your jaw will be on the floor.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: It's just a one, one and done, like an hour
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: and a half episode, So highly recommend watching that. It
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: was insane. Okay, next up and listen. I'm gonna preface
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: this by saying I didn't want to like it. I
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: didn't even want to listen. Really, I'm a girls girl.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: I ride with Cardi B. I don't like how Offset
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: has treated her over and over again. You can say
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: whatever you want. He cheated on her multiple times. As
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: far as I know, she did not cheat on him.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: There have been times where they have broken up and
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: she's did her thing. But I am a girl's girl
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: and I love miss Cardi B. However, Offsets album Kiari
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: is a really good album. I don't want to be
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: saying this, but I I you know, I'm a journalist.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: I had to be fair.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: And I heard, and like I said, I wasn't even
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: gonna listen to it, but I heard the song love
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: You Down on Social, which is a remix of that song,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: and then I laid in bed next to my little Willie,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: my dog, not my wiener, and I just listened to it.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Maybe after a gummy or two. We were both vibing.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: It's a great album, specifically love You Down.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: That's sure. That song is all over Social all right.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Next up is Taco John.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: I told you guys how I went to Minnesota the
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: other weekend. Shout out to my bestie Maddie. She is
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: a top as well. We did the State Fair and
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: that was a pretty long drive to and from, which
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: I did with Miss Willie.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: You know, it was it was great. We were we
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: were road dogs.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: But on the way home, it came a point where
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: I was like, okay, I want foo food. I don't
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: really want anything fried, and so I was just looking
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: for the next available thing.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: And what did I see?
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: I saw a Taco John's. And I have never tried
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Taco John's. They're not really I can't even think if
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: there is one near where I live, but yeah, never
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: tried it. And I was like, okay, let's sey what
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: john is all about. Of course, the most comparable thing
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: would be like a Taco bell situation.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: So I pulled up.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: I actually loved the woman who was working. She was like,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: had so much pride in working there, which I think
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: people have been missing.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Just pride in your job, no matter what you do.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: And she was very much like I told her it
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: was my first time, and I told her the things
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: I was interested in, and I mean, kudos.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: She got me to spend more. But she's like, do
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: you want to try this special?
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Well, you got this sauce. Do you want to try
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: our little potato? But like she was, she was really
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: working with me. She didn't rush me, and so shout
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: out to her, my girl.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: I forget the time we were in, but I just
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: I love the like excited about their job. I got
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: some sort of stuffed taco situation, and my mouth is
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: kind of watering right now. I only do chicken. I
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: don't do beef, so I do chicken or vegetarian. But
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: I got some sort of stuffed taco. It was delicious.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: I will say their chips were not better than Taco
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Bells tortilla chips, but Taco John's is not bad. And
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: I just want to shout out Taco and his John.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know you guys. It's been a week this
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: week too, okay, my next one. I believe we were
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: at one, two, three, okay, so we're on number four.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: I have something else for you to watch, because it's
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: getting that season where we get cozy on the couch
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: and we start watching stuff The.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Girlfriend on Prime. It's called The Girlfriend. Now.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: My sister was at my apartment, which has been such
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: a blessing. She is, like I said, still in college,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: but she is dating a guy who lives ten minutes
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: for me. So it's been you know, she's always kind
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: of dreamed about moving here after college, and we've even
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: talked about possibly living together when she gets here, which
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: would be I know a lot of people think I'm crazy,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: but it would I would love it. I love her
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: so so much, and you know, I know she would
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: come home drunk and be loud, and I'd get annoyed
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: by that, just like my friend Katie's older sister was.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: But I would love that.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Anyways, So she sometimes visits and she came over and
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: she's like, oh, the girlfriend on Prime. I heard that's good.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: She thought it was a comedy. It is very much
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: not a comedy. However, it is really really good. I
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: have not finished it yet, but I do recommend it.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: It's one of those things that you jump right into
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: grabs you right away because I need something to grab
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: me right away because I have no attention span.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: But it's good. I really like the actors and actresses
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: in it.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: The main girl's really hot, and it's the best way
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: I can describe it. As a man brings home a
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: new woman to introduce to his parents, and his parents
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: his mom specifically, is a little suspicious about the girlfriend,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: and so it's about all that ensues after that and
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: then things get very crazy. Okay, what do we got
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: going on here? Okay, I think we're at number five,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: which is crazy. How quick we did this when we're
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: down a man?
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: So number five is just whoever runs Olive Gardens social media.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: They're hysterical, they're timely, they are creative. I've seen posts
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: on there that I just I don't know, I've not
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: seen anywhere, and I just think whoever it is needs
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: a raise. And you know the August Taylor Swift music
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: video they did about the the Redsticks where it was
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: one of the most amazing things I ever have seen.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: And most recently, I saw a girl with a breadstick
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: and a clear bag with like sauce in it to
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: dip on their social I believe. And then I also
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: saw a really old do you guys remember hyper studios?
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: I might be aging myself, but on the Mac computers
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: back in the day, hyper studios came on them and
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: someone posted on their thing like our social media manager
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: is on vacation, so this is all we could come
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: up with. And then it said like unlimited breadsticks in
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: a very like vintage looking font that you a la
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: hyper studios if you know you know.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: If you don't, you're like, what the hell are you
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: talking about? Klein? And then I think that my crash
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: out is.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Just something that I was feeling a lot last week,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: and I think, I don't know, it's just something I've
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: been thinking a lot about, and it's this word empathy,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: and me personally, I feel like I'm someone who I mean,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: I do feel I hate this word now, but I
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: do feel like I'm an EmPATH.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: I've been told I one.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: I would not brag about that because I think it's
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: an awful life, but I really live my life with
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: what I think is a lot of empathy. I try
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: to put myself in other people's shoes, regardless of if
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: I agree with them, care about them, know them. And
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: so my crash out is just kind of selective empathy,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: because I think that that's more dangerous than not having
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: any empathy at all. I think that if your empathy
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: is selective, then it kind of lends itself to the
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: fact that, like, I don't think that you have empathy,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: because how could you possibly turn it on or turn
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: it off based on different situations. And so I think
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: that that's been something that's been hard for me to see.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: And truly, truly, even people who.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Agree with me like I, even politically, I really know,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: and I tell myself, like, this is Kaitlin, this is
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: what this person believes is the right thing, and I
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: have to take myself back to that and shout out
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Tefi on Instagram. I believe she was the first person
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: to point out that that's something that she did. I
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: maybe show too much empathy and compassion to other people,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: but I.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Would rather do that than the opposite, And so I
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: don't know.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: I just I have a hard time with people saying, well,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: I'm empathetic for this situation. It's kind of become one
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: of those buzzwords that I don't think you really know
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: what it means if you're just saying you have empathy
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: for one thing and then something similar happens and you don't,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: and whether it be because it's someone who looks like
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: you or someone who you like, for someone you don't
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: care about. I think it's important to remember to keep like,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: I don't think anything is real empathy if we don't
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: use it on everyone. And you may understand the rent
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: I just went on, you may not, so I don't know.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Tell me if you like this little solo mini episode.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: It really did freak me out. I hate talking to myself,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: even on the air. I don't like doing things where
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: I can't get feedback or responses, but I tried it
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: for y'all. This is my first time ever doing a
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: solo episode like this. So let me know what you think.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: We are on.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: The Top five podcast on Instagram. That's kind of where
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: we do a lot of our communication. Or ka E

  Speaker 1: JA y R Brown and you can you can look
• 21:44

• 21:48
  Speaker 1: next week. We will try maybe on Monday, but like
• 21:51

• 21:56
  Speaker 1: out for y'all. And I just want to say I
• 21:59

  Speaker 1: feel like we've been curating this super loving space, which
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: was kind of my dream for the podcast. It's just
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: like all the random chaotic things that we're into as
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: well as just kind.
• 22:15
