  Speaker 3: and during the week it's just I don't get a break.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Well. This weekend, I went to Connecticut, to Uncasville, to

• 0:56
  Speaker 1: but I don't know.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: I don't even know have you ever been there. I
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: went to Mohegan Sun once, but I was I've really
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: been only to like Foxwoods. But we did go once,
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: just quickly, like the girls and I went and checked
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: it out.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: It was nice. It was huge.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Oh, they're so big. All the casinos around there they're
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: just they're huge. They're bigger than a mall. They have
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: a mall in them. So you have a mall on
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: top of a casino, on top of ten million restaurants.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: It's really, it's really, it's cool.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: It was. We had a blast. We really did have
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: a good time. I did call, you know, earlier, and I,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: you know, explained to them, you know, I have a disability.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Do I need to bring, you know, my little travel chair?
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: And the girls like, no, you know, you go to
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the entrance and you know, everything is right there, you
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: take the escalator down. Well that was a lie. From
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: the time that we pulled into the parking garage, we
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: were lost. It was that big and there was no
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: signs to say where to go. And we actually had
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: to call the front desk and ask how to get
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: to the front desk because we we couldn't figure it out.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Who was that bad? Yeah, the lady's like, well, where
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: did you park? I'm like in the parking garage? She said,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: which one. I'm like, there's more than one. I don't know.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: I'm like the one that when you pull in, I said,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: it takes you up to the parking garage. You know,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I had no idea.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: So yeah, by the end of the trip we only
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: stayed overnight, but by that night, like later on eleven o'clock,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: we knew our way around. Let's just put it down. Yeah,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I mean it was. It's so huge. We didn't even
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: see everything. You need a good like three day wee
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: get in there to see everything, experience everything, and you
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: need to make reservations for the restaurants.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Yep. So I was I was warning you before you left.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: I said, where do you want to eat? Go on
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: the website, look it up, you know, you know, might
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: you want to call? But yeah, you they get booked
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: up so fast because everyone in the casino. You saw
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: how many people are probably there. They're all looking for
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: somewhere to eat. Plus you have people from the outside
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: who aren't even staying at the casino is like, oh,
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: let's go to Michael Jordan's steakhouse tonight. You know, so
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: you have that too, So it's really hard to get anything.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The casino surprisingly was not that packed, no, okay,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: which I was shocked, but you know, we were there
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: for three days. Grace and that concert was I think
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: it was sold out. There was not one seat left.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: Wow, that's good for them.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: From you know, what I saw, it was. It was insane.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: The meet and greet. I heard that there was over
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: a thousand people at the meet and greet. I don't
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: know if that's true.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: There was a lot of.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: People, but I don't know if there was a thousand.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because I mean a thousand that's a little crazy
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: for meat and greet. I know they try to keep
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: it to a certain number because then imagine a thousand
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: people that you have to spend at least two three minutes.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: I don't know how long they spend with you.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Two seconds. Literally, it was you walk in and I
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: said hi to Matt, I shook the other guy's hands.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: We took a picture and I said, did you hear
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: the show?
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: That was it? Okay?
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: So it's literally two seconds and you can't even bring
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: in your own like I wanted to take our own
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: picture and they said they said no, it was wow,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: like a photographer had to take it and then you
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: had to go to a website to get the photo.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: That's weird.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you're only allowed one photo. So even though
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: we had well we had three tickets for me, you
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: and my mom, Me and my mom, they only allowed
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: one photo.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: That's crazy. That's not that's not nice.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: So yeah, but that's how they do it these days,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: I guess. Yeah. So it's it's very rush, rush, rush.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: I just kept saying. It was hurry up and wait.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: So we got there at like one ish, one thirty ish, yeah,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: and three o'clock was check in, so we checked in.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Then we had to wait till four o'clock. No, sorry,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: four o'clock was checking. So we got there at one thirty.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: By the time we went to our room, dropped everything off,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: it was three thirty. Four o'clock was checking. And to
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: find the check in place was horrendous because the place
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: is so big. Oh my god, yeah, it was. It
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: was insane. It was like all hurry up and wait.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Then we had to wait on this long line to
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: check in that took forever, and then we went to
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I thought we were just going to the meet and greet,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: but they were doing like a backstage tour, which really
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: wasn't backstage, but we had to walk down like three
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: flights of steps, you know, like how the top of
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: an arena is. Yeah, that's where we were, and we
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: had to walk all the way down to the stage.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, so you could imagine me. Oh my god,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I was not in a good mood. Plus I hadn't
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: eight since that morning. Yeah, I was starving. And we
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: couldn't even eat because it was just all hurry up
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: and wait, hurry up and wait. You know. We did
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: the backstage thing, then we met them, and then I said,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: let's go grab something to eat. I said, it's okay
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: if we missed the first band. I don't know who
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: they were anyway, so I said, it's fine, and long
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: story short, we ended up eating at Chick fil a.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: The show didn't start at seven o'clock. It started at
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: like eight, and it went to eleven o'clock at night.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, that's a long freaking day.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and we stood the whole entire time. My feats
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: were killing me, my hips, my butt. You know. Monday
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: was my colonoscopy, so I have a trainer, and I
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: skipped our my personal training session. And let me tell you,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: I made up for it tenfold because I was in
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: so much pain on Sunday. Oh my god.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: I don't know how you did it, because sometimes, yeah,
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: like that's that's a lot for you, some shock that
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: you stuck with it. For all those hours, you know.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I didn't want to, but I had to. Yeah. Yeah,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: you know even at the concert we had floor seats
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: and everybody was standing up screaming.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: You know, they was there a seat there though, Yeah,
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: there was a seat, but said if you needed to, yeah.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Well I did. I sat most of the time. Yeah,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: but because depending on even if I stood, Like I
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: was like, oh my, I'll just stand on the chair.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: She's like, absolutely not, You're gonna break your neck. Let
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: me tell you. They put on a great show. They
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: sounded just like they do on their album, and they
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: were amazing. I would definitely go see them again and
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: I would get cheaper seats, sit up a little bit higher,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: and watch it from like further back.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because they're amazing.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: That's good. I always say. I like when you go
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: see an artist and they sound the same as they
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: sound on their CD or their record. Because a lot
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: of people use autotune, a lot of people aren't as
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: talented as their their producers make them. You know, I'll
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: produce when they produce the music. So it's really good
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: to hear that.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah. No, they sounded the same, like you couldn't even
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: tell the difference, except it was louder, but it was
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: it was amazing. The opening band was something called I Prevail. Now.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: I don't like screaming music.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, me either, I hate it, and that's what that was.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: In the beginning. I said, god, yeah, and I was like,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: oh no.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: He sent me a video and I had to shut
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: it off. I'm like, oh god, nope, I'm not listening
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: to that.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: And so my mom looks at me and she's like,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: this is what you took me to and I said no.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: I was like, this is not what their music is,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: I swear. And then once they came on, I said, see, ma,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: see I told you.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, good and at least, I mean, I'm gonna say,
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: at least you had a good time. But it sounded
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: horrible the whole time. Accepts for when you actually were
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: listening to them, saying, so, at least you enjoy their concert.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: I did. I did it. It was like the hurry
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: up and wait was stressful and not eating all day.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: I was starving. So next time, we know, you know,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: we'll get there earlier, like in the morning. We'll leave
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: the house in the morning, not at eleven o'clock. Yeah,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: and we'll get there earlier, have a lunch, we will
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: make reservations and we will enjoy a little weekend away. Yes,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: and it's really what we needed. I just came back
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: even though I had my colonoscopy on Monday, so Sunday
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: I had to prep for it, which was not fun.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: But it was an amazing like it was just so
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: relaxing to go away not have to worry about anything,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: you know. We left the concert at eleven o'clock. The
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: ice cream place was still open with a mile long
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: line and we waited and twenty dollars for ice cream.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: But you know, it was it was a nice night,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: you know, we didn't have.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: To worry and yeah, no, it's always nice to get away.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And the rooms are gorgeous. We had a beautiful
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: view of some river lake or something and they were
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: just they were so freaking clean. I have never seen
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: a hotel room so clean. I walked barefoot on it.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: That's awesome. That's what you want?
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: You want that well for seven hundred dollars a night.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I hope so. I would hope so.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: But I would recommend Mohegan Sun to anyone just for
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: a weekend and get away, even kids. They had like
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: a kid's place, so that you know, you could drop
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: your kid off and go gamble and ample. Yeah, so
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: I mean it's for everyone, So it was. It was
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: a nice time.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Good. I'm glad. I'm glad you guys had a good time.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: And yeah, next time, you know what to do and
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: what not to do. So how did your colonoscopy go?
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: Since that was like the next day.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Uh well, the pulnoscopy itself went okay. My arrival time
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: was one fifteen. Then when I got there, I found
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: out it was a two o'clock technically that they were
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: gonna take me, but they didn't end up taking me
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: till four thirty.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: That's disgusting. That's that's torture. Because you can't eat before
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: colon ask me, you can't drink, so that's that's torture.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I wasn't happy. And then I thought it was
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: like the doctor was running behind. But once I had
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: gotten back there, I said to the nurse, I said,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: what was the running behind? She said no, she said,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: whoever does the scheduling. They scheduled forty six patients, holy crap,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: between two doctors. And when they were wheeling me through,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: there was three rooms and they all had signs like
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: my doctor had a room, the other doctor had a room,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: and then they both were sharing a room. So there
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: was so and when they willed me back there, I
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: was the last patient of course. Yeah, and all those
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: rooms were taken up. There was people in the hallway like, wow,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: that's crazy re covering. Yeah, so whoever does their scheduling
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: needs to be fired.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure they. They got there, you know, got
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: talked to that night.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was it was insane. And then so
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: I was nauseous when I woke up, Like, well, first
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: I woke up during the procedure.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: That was funny. That's crazy. Like, if you're not understanding
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: like that, that should be the main thing we're talking
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: about here. She's in a colonoscopy under anesthesia. They're upper
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: butt and she wakes up in the middle of it.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: That that should be the story here, because that's freaking hilarious.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: I was dying when you text me that.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah, And I woke up and I said, oh,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: what's what is that? I said, what's going on there?
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: They're like, oh, she's awake.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And the anesthesiologist was like, oh, I gotta give
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: her more medicine, and I said I'm fine, and the
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: doctor said she's fine. Leave her.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: Oh my god.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: And then he was explaining things to me and he's like,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: it's so clean, so there's nothing, you know, there's nothing
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: going on. I don't understand. He just kept saying like,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't understand what's going on with you.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: And but he pushed on my stomach and I almost
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: like flew off the bed. It hurts so bad. And
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: he's like, I don't know if that's from the air
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: that he put in me. Yeah, he's like, or what
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: that's from? He was like, but we'll have to keep
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: an eye on it. But you know, he was like, oh,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: I'm coming out now, and god, I started cracking up. Yeah.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: So the anustesiologist was like more worried about it than
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: like me. And the doctor.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's his job. He is supposed to
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: give you the right amount to keep you asleep. So
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: he probably was like, shit, I didn't do my job right.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: And then shit, is a doctor gonna yell at me?
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: Because now a patient is a and some patients might
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: not react like you. That's why I'm like, your you're
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: freaking nuts. Because if I woke up in the middle
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: of kolon oscoby, I'd be like, oh my God, put
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: me back to sleep. I don't want to feel anything.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: I know you said it didn't hurt, but my mind
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: would go to, something's up my butt. He's in there
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: taking biopsies. I want to be out. I don't want
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: to know nothing.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Well, I woke up apparently to them taking a biopsy. Yeah,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that until I was telling you what
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: I saw on the camera.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and you're.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Like, oh, they were taking a biopsy. I mean you
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: would think you would feel it, but you don't.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: The intestines don't have feeling. Oddly, they don't. They don't
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: feel pain, so you wouldn't really feel it. It's it's
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: crazy because like, yeah, if you have like ulcers, you
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: feel a certain type of pain, like inflammation. But I
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: don't know. It's I was told that they don't have
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: like a pain feeling. I couldn't. It's put me wrong,
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: but that's what I believe I was told.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Because I always feel pain on my left side.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's so, I don't know.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: It's it's weird. I don't know, but I have to
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: wait a week for the biopsies to come back and
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: hopefully everything will come back okay, but I kind of
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: like want something to come back not okay, because then
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: we'll have an answer.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's what. It's unfortunate that we have to
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: wish that. But you want you don't want the everything's normal.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: You want to hair. Okay, No, we saw this, We
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: found this because then you could treat it.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So he did say to me that he did
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: not see oul sort of colitis and he didn't see chromes,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: so I didn't know that that was something he would
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: be able to see. I thought we had to have
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: a biopsy.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: Uh. Usually like well, for colitis, you'd see ulcerations, like
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: big ulcers. I had that, and so my intestines were
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: all bright red with ulcers all over them. Chrohn's disease
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: as a different look direveticulitis his pockets. So there's he
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: can tell by looking that something looks off, you know,
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: but if you're looked perfectly normal and healthy, like if
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: they were really read and some polypicy might say, well,
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: maybe it's also reclites. Let's take a bot see. But
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: if he's saying yours look perfectly normal, then maybe you know,
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: he knows better.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Than me cleaness colon he's ever seen.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: And by the way, I just googled it. It said
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: that the intestines do contain pain receptor, So I was wrong.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: But I don't know where I heard that from them,
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: that you don't really feel pain in them, I don't know.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: So maybe I didn't feel it because they did give
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: me a numbing agent in the ivy uh huh, and
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: then they put me to sleep, So maybe that's why
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: I didn't feel it.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it could be that. It's probably that, you.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Know, I was still a little bit loopy and I
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: couldn't walk out of the place. They had to wheel
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: me out. Yeah, I was very even though I was
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: mentally there, I physically was not, Like I couldn't slit
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: up on my own, like they had to set me up.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: And yeah, until yesterday, I was like, I still I
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: couldn't even put a sentence together yesterday, so I just
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: needed to sleep. So how was your week?
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: Went to Long Island? I went to Long Island. It's uh,
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: you know, a family's baby shower. That was nice. It
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: was nice to see everyone go to Long Island. We
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: didn't stay long and it's just been busy, busy. I
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: feel like something's in the air this week. Me and
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: my sister were talking about it. There's just something in
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: the air, and I feel a very overwhelmed, very anxious.
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: And I've talked to a few people and they feel
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: the same way. But they said, it's not supposed to
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: be that way. I guess like mercury is going into retrograde.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: There's a new moon. It's supposed to be all these
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: good things happening. But this week has been shitty. And Geo,
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: you know, he just started track, So add another thing
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: to my plate, another stressor another stressor for me. But
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: you know, kids, you do things for your kids. I
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: get it. But he's doing track and it ends at five,
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: So I said, I can't I work until five five
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: thirty and I and I live a half hour away
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: from work, so I can't get home in time. You know.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: He's like, oh, there's a there's a sports bus. I said,
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: oh great, you're gonna have to take the sports bus home.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: He's like, oh, well. Then the next day he's like,
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: I heard it can be kind of long. And I'm like, Geo,
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: you could deal with a half hour on the bus.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: You could deal with forty five minutes on the bus.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: You know, we only live four minutes from the school.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: Take that into account right now. So anyway, yesterday he
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: was his first day of track because the weather cancels
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: it the other days. And he takes the bus and
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: I'm home and I'm getting ready to make dinner. I'm like, oh,
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: he should be home soon, you know, And five thirty hits,
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: five forty five hits. I'm like, okay, text him, Hey,
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: where are you, buddy. I look on the map on
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: his phone because I track him. He's all the way
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: in this other town, like close to this other town
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: that's like almost thirty minutes away.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: I'm like, what the fuck?
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: You know? Now at six o'clock, so I'm like, geo,
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: he texted me Mom, this bus is We're almost in Ellenville.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: We're almost here. We're so far from home. This is ridiculous.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: He didn't get home till seven oh three. This poor
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: kid got on the bus at five and didn't get
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: home till seven oh three. That's insane to have a
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: kid sit on the bus that long.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's uncalled for.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: So I'm guessing they only have two buses. My area
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: is huge. Our school district has a huge area, so
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: they had two buses, and one bus went to our
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: half of the woods and then the other bus went
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: to the other half. And we have the district goes
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: out pretty far, so they probably went all the way
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: to the edge. And then he was the last stop
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: because we lived so close to the school. And my
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: husband was pissed. He's like, we live close to the school,
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: he should be first. I'm like, that's not how it works.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: They're going to the furthest one first, and they're gonna
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: swing back around, drop him off, and then head right
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: to the bus garage down the road. Yeah, so that's why.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: That's how it was with me when I was in
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: high school. I was the last pickup and the last
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: one to be dropped off, and I was on the
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: bus for about forty five minutes to an hour Jesus,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: and it was horrible.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he was so hungry. He was crying when he
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: came home. He was hungry, he was cold because he
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: had to walk home from like the bus stop, and.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: He didn't even drop him off at the cold Stock.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: They dropped him up a little further further, I mean
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: closer than his original bus stop. But I guess someone
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: else's house was over there, so he had to walk
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: a bit. But the lady told him that if he
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: wants her to drop him off the house, like as
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: he was getting off the bust because he said, oh,
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: I live right over there. So from now on, if
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: he well, he's not taking the bus, but if he did,
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: they could drop him off at the cul de Sack.
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: So but yeah, it's like I can't even put him
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: through that. I can't even be like, suck it up,
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: because that's horrible. The kid goes, he wakes up at six,
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: he goes to school by seven am, and then you're
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: getting home at seven pm. You're cold, you're hungry, you're tired.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: That's a long day for a kid, and you just
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: had a hard workout at track. Like that's a long day.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: So I'm gonna just have to leave work early from
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: now on and get him at five and you know,
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: get him home so he's not on the bus for
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: that's for two hours. That's disgusting.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: That's just crazy, you know. And these schools like, I
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: don't know what they're thinking. They just allow it. Is
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: it because they don't have a child in school dealing with.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: That, or it just saves money. It probably saves money.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: They only have to pay for gas and two buses.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: They only I mean, I'm just saying too. Geo's not
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna ask him again how many buses sit there,
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: but he said it wasn't a lot, so they only
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: have to pay for let's say it's three, three drivers
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: and then three things of gas. It's all about money
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: at the end of the day, you know what I mean. Yeah,
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: so they're just bundling everyone into I think they did
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: that back when we were kids too, because I remember
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: taking late the late bus after school, not that I
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: was in sports, but I stayed after for something and
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: I think it took I don't know if it took
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: two hours, but there was people from all over the
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: area on the bus.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's how my bus was. Yeah, it was
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: like almost like we got because my house is or
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: five minutes from the school, and we went all the
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: way by your old house.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: Oh my god.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's far, which is almost to New Jersey.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's weird. So you're just picking up the stragglers.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, basically, but I will see how this goes.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: He likes it so far, and you know, I wanted
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: to do what he wants. I was never allowed to
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: be in sports as a kid my mom. You know.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: It was just I want to give him what I
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: didn't have, and he wants to do it. I'm going
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: to make it happen for him. And if I have
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: to move my schedule around, it's not gonna kill me.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: You know, at least it's the end of the day.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: If it was at two o'clock, then that's that's cutting
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: into my hours. But you know, I gotta do what
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: I gotta do.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and he enjoys it.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. And it keeps him busy because he used
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: to get home from school for like two forty five
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: and then I don't get home until five point thirty
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: six o'clock and he had all those hours to talk
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: to his friends or play PlayStation. That wasn't good either. So,
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: like my husband said, this is a good thing. He's
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: not on electronics, he's not home alone, he is active,
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: and then you pick him up. I'm like, yeah, you know,
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: you're right.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: We're gonna happ into an interview with Wendy Landia. We
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: met her at the Modern Day Wife event in New Jersey.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: So today we have a creative entrepreneur who's turning confidence
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: into lifestyle. Wendy Quintero is the founder of when Landia boutique.
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: And we are here with all this amazing stuff. What
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: inspired you to start when Landia? So I was a
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: mom and first my first child.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: I didn't know what to do with myself after having
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: my first kid and he was so hard, like to
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: finding myself again. So I created a store putting together
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: curating pieces that make me feel like myself, not only
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: a mom or a wife, but also like me. And
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: when Landia is like a part of that world of
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: little things that make women happy and make themselves like,
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: you know, an individual and not just a mom or
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: a wife or something else. So I created it to
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: like help women feel confident. Okay, that's amazing.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: I'm a mom and I know exactly how that feels.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: You lose your stork, you lose yourself, you like you
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: become just a mom, and it's like getting that back
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: is a problem. Yes, So when Landia is known for
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: accessories to make women feel confident, how do you choose
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: the design pieces to help women embrace their individuality?
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: Right? So a lot of it is like thinking of
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: who the mom or the woman is color takes a lot,
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: you know, part in it and choosing also quality because
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: you want pieces that send out and will last you
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: for a long time. My main goal is to have
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: good quality pieces that will last and you know, survive
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: all of our wild lives and like going to the
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: ocean or going on vacation that will last you. What
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: will break them in, you know. So that's one of
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: the main goals that I always want to bring. Things
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: are affordable for women by good quality. For sure, that's important.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: Right we budget mom's budget and we want.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: To make sure it last.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: Sure, if there's a woman listening right now who feels invisible.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: Overwhelmed, or she's lost her spark.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: What would you want her to know about confidence, self
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: expression and stepping back into her power.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: So one thing is taking one day at a time.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: It's important not to overwhelm yourself with everything you have
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: to do, but rather one thing that you want to tackle,
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: and I feel like that leads to another thing that
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: you need to tackle instead of thinking, oh my gosh,
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: I have so many things to do, so kind of
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: like stop for a second and think about how important
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: it is to be sane and a world of insanity
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: especially as women. So take a moment, think about one
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: thing you want to do, work on that, and then
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: just move along and you'll see like things will go easier.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: As a mom of three and businesses and school and work,
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: it's so easy to get overwhelmed by everything that is
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: thrown our way. So one step by the time, for sure,
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: it's very important. So no, it is.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: It's a good lesson for anybody in life, especially working
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: mom's business moms. And what do you think people notice
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: first about when Landia that they don't find anywhere else?
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: Color? For sure, twenty twenty five was a colorless year
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: to me in my opinion, because everybody wanted to go
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: nude bye people, especially women. I think we were afraid
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: of wearing color, maybe just to attract attention to ourselves.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: I feel like color is the way you represent how
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: happy you are. Uh, And you see that in mind
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: my brand. People think it's a sick gree, people think
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: that I think is my favorite color is not, But
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: it is such a happy color that I wanted to
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: evoke that on anyone that comes in contact with my brand.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Make it fun. It's about having fun, and like make
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: a statement, doesn't matter, like stop being page. We're color.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: I know it sounds so straight, but it's true. Like
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: color is fine.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: You know, it brings confidence, happiness, confidence, and you stand
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: out and that's.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: What you want for sure for sure. So I lose
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: work luck, yes, oh my gosh, that was me. That's
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: me most of the time, but lately I feel like no,
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: because it changes your mood. It changes how you feel off,
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: so it's very important to like kind of bring that out.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: And if you're not feeling happy that day, you wear
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: a little bit of color, it changes completely your mood
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: for sure. So yeah, I agree. Well, thank you so much, Wendy.
