  Hello and welcome to the Nick and Kristen in the podcast.
• 0:12
  Another week, another fun story to tell.
• 0:15
  First, let's check in with Kristen.
• 0:16
  Yeah on how she's doing. So she had a gallbladder surgery
• 0:20
  5 days ago. Is that where we're at now?
• 0:21
  Last Tuesday. Yeah.
• 0:23
  So how you doing? How you how's the body?
• 0:25
  We've had a lot of people say they've had the gallbladder out.
• 0:28
  Who knew this was so fun. I.
• 0:29
  Know I know a lot of people making me feel really seen and
• 0:31
  heard right now. I was like, oh, I thought I was
• 0:33
  like the only one, no doing OK. It's funny because like a couple
• 0:36
  days afterwards they tell you like really strict diet, like
• 0:40
  nothing fatty, no, basically just carbs and broth.
• 0:44
  That's basically like all you're really allowed to have.
• 0:46
  Nothing tasty like no. Dairy, no milk, No.
• 0:48
  Yeah, OK, no meat, nothing like that.
• 0:50
  And so I was dying and I was like, I'm just going to make
• 0:52
  myself just a little tiny bit of cheddar cheese quesadilla.
• 0:56
  And I made a TikTok video on that.
• 0:57
  And I was like, and because I googled it afterwards, after I
• 1:00
  ate the whole thing and I was like, was that bad?
• 1:02
  And it was like, that's very bad.
• 1:03
  Like, you're not supposed to have cheese.
• 1:05
  And then I took Lily to a carnival at her school.
• 1:09
  And afterwards they had a little ice cream truck.
• 1:11
  And she was like, can I get a scoop of ice cream?
• 1:12
  And I was like, sure, I'll get one, too.
• 1:14
  And I'm like midway through it when I'm like, oh, wait a
• 1:17
  second, this is Jerry. And I was with my friend who's a
• 1:20
  doctor at the time. I was like, I'm going to die.
• 1:22
  And she's like, no, you're just going to be really uncomfortable
• 1:24
  for a second. It's a weird habit you have to
• 1:26
  teach yourself now to break, but you will admit that nothing
• 1:31
  happened. You've.
• 1:32
  Having no issues. But although people are implying
• 1:34
  that this is like emergency situations, like got to bring
• 1:37
  some extra underwear, there's no time.
• 1:40
  To like people are saying like, oh, because after I posted the
• 1:42
  quesadilla video on TikTok, people are like, oh, make sure
• 1:45
  that you're by a bathroom for the next three hours.
• 1:47
  And I was like, Oh my God, like what?
• 1:49
  And I was, I was prepared, but like nothing happened.
• 1:53
  That's good. Nothing.
• 1:54
  Happened with the ice cream and like they just opened up a new
• 1:57
  in and out on Mill Plain and I was like, well I was gonna check
• 2:00
  that out this week but. Milkshakes.
• 2:02
  I feel like the milkshakes. Probably the milkshakes.
• 2:03
  A little too much, yeah. So yeah, I'll do burger,
• 2:07
  probably no fries, maybe just like a Coke or something like
• 2:09
  that. But like, I've been having diet
• 2:11
  soda and it's been OK. Yeah, so far nothing's reacted.
• 2:14
  So that's good. No, like, so you could go and
• 2:16
  live your normal life like you normally do, and that's nice.
• 2:19
  I'm doing OK, I'm sore, but like I'm, I'm getting back to work
• 2:23
  like I'm back at work work full time, so I'm all right.
• 2:27
  So the things we want to talk about today on the podcast is we
• 2:30
  got another weird thing in the mail.
• 2:31
  It's been a couple of years since we got something in the
• 2:34
  mail. We got one, Kristen was out at a
• 2:37
  park and got scouted in like a weird way.
• 2:41
  And then we want to hear your thoughts on the woman that gave
• 2:43
  birth on the plane that landed in PDX.
• 2:45
  I don't know if you've heard about this story or not.
• 2:47
  So First off, we got a weird package in the mail.
• 2:50
  It was very light. It was for me which the other
• 2:52
  one was too and it was 3 sugar packets.
• 2:55
  Yes, and it's part this whole scam from a different country
• 2:59
  and like the purpose of the scam is somehow they got your
• 3:01
  address. Which it's like all on Amazon.
• 3:03
  Yes, they send you ridiculous products that have no value and
• 3:08
  then they like what do fake reviews based.
• 3:11
  On you they change the item that they're selling or whatever, but
• 3:14
  who's like 3 sugar packets Like that's how you sent me but the
• 3:17
  first time we got a legend out of.
• 3:18
  Yes, we did. The first time we did this, we
• 3:21
  were it was 2021 or 2020, right? Right on the pandemic.
• 3:25
  We got a weird package in the mail and it was this.
• 3:28
  Yes. And it was.
• 3:29
  It felt ominous at the time. Yeah.
• 3:31
  Because I was like, Oh my God, Like, why would somebody send
• 3:34
  this to this? This is like, this is creepy.
• 3:36
  And we named him a very special name.
• 3:39
  Yes. His name is Woodward Woodward,
• 3:41
  and if you can't see it, if you're just listening to the
• 3:42
  podcast, it's like a tiny mannequin.
• 3:46
  Like, what's it like a dress mannequin?
• 3:48
  So yes, well, it's not a dress mannequin, so it's for drawing.
• 3:50
  For drawing, it's a tiny drawing figure.
• 3:52
  It's this wooden figure that articulates its body like legs,
• 3:56
  arms, hands, and you're supposed to use it in drawing class to
• 4:00
  kind of simulate what postures would look like if you're
• 4:03
  drawing figures. But the.
• 4:05
  Faceless wooden doll on a little stand and it's always creeped us
• 4:11
  out that it just got sent to us randomly and we had just started
• 4:14
  here in Portland and it felt very like I know where you live
• 4:17
  kind of a feel yes but thankfully it was just part of
• 4:20
  this scam and we. Were doing twitch at the time
• 4:23
  live streaming our show and so he became part of the show.
• 4:26
  His name is Woodward and he would Co host the show with us
• 4:29
  occasionally when Kristen was out That's right yeah.
• 4:31
  And we actually had a shout out for him on one of the comments
• 4:34
  on this podcast. So like, any chance we could see
• 4:36
  Woodward? So.
• 4:37
  But there is their little cameo. He's a legend.
• 4:40
  The sugar packets aren't gonna make it.
• 4:41
  One of the other things that we've got more fake Ray Bans.
• 4:44
  Do you remember that? We got we got we got fake Ray
• 4:46
  bans and we were all like, Oh my gosh and then we tried to
• 4:49
  monitor like these aren't real Ray bans.
• 4:51
  And so like now the sugar packets.
• 4:52
  So yeah, he was hoping for something good.
• 4:54
  They're. Getting cheaper as the years go
• 4:56
  by, like at least Woodward. Was 2026 economy.
• 4:58
  They're like we don't have money for fake Ray bans anymore.
• 5:01
  Some sugar. Packets or something.
• 5:03
  And so Kristen, you were out at the the park, yes.
• 5:06
  And you got scouted. So exciting, but another mom
• 5:10
  gets so break it down. What happened?
• 5:12
  We went. To the park we went to a park.
• 5:13
  Lily and I went to a park and I was sitting down and there was
• 5:17
  this very tall like 6-3 gentlemen standing next to me
• 5:20
  and he was just kind of standing there.
• 5:22
  And then eventually he turned around and he was like hi and I
• 5:24
  was like oh hello. And he's reached down and he is
• 5:28
  like, my name is such and such. And I was like, oh, hi, I'm so
• 5:30
  and so. And he's like, so which which
• 5:32
  kids yours? And I still think a whole
• 5:34
  conversation was very awkward. Because I'm.
• 5:37
  I'm sitting crisscross applesauce on the ground and
• 5:39
  he's like very tall, like looking down on me.
• 5:42
  And I'm like, well, Sir, yeah. And I was like, well, that's my
• 5:45
  kid right over there. And he's like, oh, that's my
• 5:46
  kid. And he's like you from here.
• 5:48
  And I was like, wow, this is a, this is an in depth
• 5:50
  conversation. Went straight to from here.
• 5:52
  Huh. Yeah.
• 5:52
  And immediately I was like, I think this is it.
• 5:55
  Like I think this is the moment. No, no, no, no, no, no.
• 5:59
  This is the moment I've been waiting for.
• 6:01
  Like at some point he's going to ask me what I do for a living.
• 6:05
  Sure enough, he's like, yeah, you also, you've only been in
• 6:08
  Vancouver a couple years. What it what is it that you do
• 6:10
  for work? And immediately I was like, it's
• 6:12
  happening. It's happening to me.
• 6:14
  Finally. He is going to try to recruit me
• 6:17
  into an MLM. No one's ever tried to.
• 6:20
  Recruit. No one's ever tried to recruit
• 6:21
  me. I've heard the stories of like,
• 6:23
  wandering around Target and women coming up to you going, Oh
• 6:26
  my gosh, like, aren't these things so expensive?
• 6:28
  The diapers, right? Yeah, they have the diaper
• 6:30
  section. That was a big thing.
• 6:31
  Thankfully I work for myself and I'm an entrepreneur but I'm
• 6:34
  looking for other moms that are looking to make money you.
• 6:36
  Wouldn't want to earn an extra $5000 a month, would you?
• 6:38
  Yeah, like it's so easy just hosting parties or whatever.
• 6:41
  And so the whole time I'm thinking I'm like, Oh my gosh,
• 6:43
  it's going to be an MLM. Gotta wait for the.
• 6:45
  Pitch. And so he's like, what is it
• 6:46
  that you do for a living? And I was like, well, I'm a
• 6:48
  therapist, which is weird because I've never had to say
• 6:51
  that without adding radio to it. Yeah, I was like, I'm a
• 6:54
  therapist. And he's like, oh, and like I
• 6:57
  took the wind out of his sails because he's like, oh, you're
• 6:59
  kind. Of like expected you to be a
• 7:00
  stay at home boss. He's like, you're your own boss,
• 7:01
  huh? And I was like, yeah, I like
• 7:03
  make my own schedule. I set my own rates and all that
• 7:05
  kind of stuff. And he's like, oh, and I was
• 7:06
  like, what do you do? And he's like, I work in
• 7:08
  e-commerce. And I was like, oh, there it is.
• 7:10
  There it is. E-commerce.
• 7:12
  I was like, what is it that you sell on e-commerce?
• 7:14
  And he's like, oh, anything Wellness supplements, make up
• 7:20
  any household items. I mean, we don't sell junk.
• 7:22
  We sell the stuff that you really need.
• 7:24
  I was like, this is like Amway, like this is like old school
• 7:27
  e-commerce. Like what are you?
• 7:29
  Talking about sounds like he's on TikTok shop and he's like
• 7:31
  they're like pitching him stuff like yo sell these vitamins and
• 7:33
  I was. Like, oh, that's really cool.
• 7:34
  He's like, yeah, a friend of mine was doing it.
• 7:36
  He was making 40 to $60,000 extra a year.
• 7:39
  And I was like, I got to do this.
• 7:40
  I got to get in on this, like nobody's doing this.
• 7:43
  And I was like, what do you do full time?
• 7:45
  He's like, oh, I'm a locksmith. And I was like, oh, OK.
• 7:47
  Oh, so the locksmith? So you're not You might mean
• 7:49
  4050 is not going to get you far.
• 7:51
  No, definitely not anymore. So I was just like the whole
• 7:54
  time. I was just like, Oh my gosh,
• 7:55
  it's happening. Finally, Chris against.
• 7:57
  But like, I can't be really scouted because my job is one of
• 8:01
  those jobs where it's like, Oh no, like I don't have any of the
• 8:04
  problems that you're talking about.
• 8:05
  Like I don't have a boss that's mean to me.
• 8:07
  I run my own business. I set my own schedule.
• 8:09
  I can work around my kids schedule.
• 8:10
  Like all the stuff that like the people at MLMS tell you, like
• 8:14
  you could stay at home, you can work for home.
• 8:16
  I'm like, I do telehealth. So it's like, yeah, like there's
• 8:19
  like nothing you could do. And then this other woman kind
• 8:21
  of wanders into our group and he launches right into her.
• 8:24
  He's like, Oh my gosh, I work in e-commerce and blah, blah, blah.
• 8:27
  He's setting up the pitch. He's like, what is it that you
• 8:29
  do? She's like, oh, I run my own
• 8:30
  private practice as a physical therapist.
• 8:32
  And he was like, and he's like, what does your husband do?
• 8:35
  He's like, oh, he flies for Hawaiian Airlines and he goes
• 8:38
  like. Yeah, so should I, I'm assuming
• 8:42
  you didn't give him my information.
• 8:44
  No, because he asked me what you did.
• 8:45
  Yeah. And I was like, oh, he's
• 8:46
  freelance audio and Vizio video stuff.
• 8:49
  I was like, I don't know what to say.
• 8:50
  I'm like, he's he's in between things right now.
• 8:52
  Which actually tell me more about this e-commerce.
• 8:54
  I know. So yeah, maybe I should get an
• 8:56
  e-commerce Like, no, even though I mean MLMS, if you do them
• 8:59
  right, if you're motivated, no, you can still make money.
• 9:01
  No, they'll never work. Even the top percent are lying.
• 9:05
  They're inflating their numbers. I know someone who sells
• 9:09
  jewelry, yeah, that has flown to Amsterdam and gotten all these
• 9:13
  free trips out of it. Don't you want to also fly?
• 9:16
  Nothing's free in this world. Take these trips.
• 9:19
  Look, it sounds luxurious, right?
• 9:20
  But that's the whole point, yeah.
• 9:22
  And this whole e-commerce thing, I don't know if it's like an
• 9:25
  MLM, but what it is, is like a drop shipping.
• 9:28
  So like this? Stuff I don't want to do on tik.
• 9:30
  T.O.K they are in talks with outside importers and so like
• 9:36
  somebody purchases something through them, they contact their
• 9:39
  person, they up charge you $3 extra or whatever.
• 9:42
  So they don't hold any products, but they're basically just the
• 9:45
  middle man. And it's like that's what
• 9:47
  e-commerce drop shipping is. And it's like, I'm not
• 9:49
  interested. Man, yeah, I mean, if it makes
• 9:51
  me money, maybe I'm just sitting here all day, but I'm trying to
• 9:54
  figure out something to to have. You can.
• 9:58
  Start selling plasma or doing something you could work for
• 10:00
  Amazon. You could do you.
• 10:01
  Want me to work for Amazon? No, I'm not saying.
• 10:03
  I'm just saying like, don't sit here and go, oh, there's
• 10:05
  nothing. To do there's jobs, there's
• 10:07
  things you could do. No, there's definitely things
• 10:08
  that I'm I don't need a qualification for.
• 10:11
  Yeah, but they don't pay enough for it to be worth it.
• 10:14
  I don't know. We haven't gotten your
• 10:15
  unemployment. Yet it's true.
• 10:16
  Yeah, It's like 15 bucks an hour.
• 10:17
  I'm like can anybody survive on 15 bucks?
• 10:20
  An hour? Well, no, absolutely nobody can.
• 10:22
  So. Yeah, and then I don't even get
• 10:23
  free McDonald's. Well, so maybe I should find the
• 10:25
  guy at the park. I'll probably see him next
• 10:27
  weekend chatting up some other ladies.
• 10:29
  Yeah, just like so happened. To me.
• 10:31
  Need anybody to shoot video content for your ecommerce?
• 10:34
  Commercial, right? Exactly.
• 10:35
  Sell them a commercial. So a woman gave birth on a
• 10:38
  flight from Atlanta to PDX and I'm just going to tell you stuff
• 10:42
  and then I'm going to give you 2 options on how to react.
• 10:44
  Oh gosh. So she gave birth.
• 10:46
  It's just nothing crazy. But she gave birth to her baby
• 10:48
  30 minutes before it landed in PDX.
• 10:50
  There was a doctor, 2 nurses on board that assisted in the
• 10:53
  birth. Thankfully, they were there,
• 10:54
  Right? Yeah.
• 10:56
  Shocked. So here's the scenario.
• 10:58
  You're on the plane. OK?
• 11:00
  You get off the plane, you call your significant other.
• 11:03
  Is the conversation you're having next?
• 11:05
  Oh my God, Some lady gave birth on a plane.
• 11:08
  It was a miracle. I can't believe we were all
• 11:11
  there for it. It was like this.
• 11:13
  Kids going to remember this for forever.
• 11:14
  The moms. It's just a story that I'm going
• 11:16
  to tell for years. One time I was on a flight.
• 11:19
  No. Or.
• 11:21
  Are you starting the conversation like EW some lady
• 11:23
  just gave birth on our plane? That's first.
• 11:25
  First of all, I'm not even calling you first.
• 11:26
  I'm calling American Airlines customer service and I'm going
• 11:29
  to say I'm sorry. Some woman just gave birth on a
• 11:32
  plane. Can I get free Wi-Fi next time?
• 11:35
  Like we had to land and then I had to wait so that she could,
• 11:39
  you know, bond with the baby and have some skin on skin time.
• 11:43
  And I now I'm late for a business meeting.
• 11:46
  So can I get an upgrade next time?
• 11:48
  And then I'll call you. It always sounds like you see
• 11:51
  this on TV or you see it on the news and all the shows and oh,
• 11:55
  they gave birth on a flight and it's a miracle.
• 11:57
  I'm so, well, I mean like sitting there.
• 12:00
  Going, Oh my God, it's a miracle.
• 12:02
  Everybody's annoyed. Yeah.
• 12:03
  Everybody is, I don't know, like, yeah, they they should
• 12:06
  because that's how I feel like everyone's.
• 12:08
  Flying nine months pregnant. That's the my first question is
• 12:11
  don't you don't. Is there a limit there should?
• 12:13
  Be. I mean we don't know the first
• 12:15
  first like specific. Situation.
• 12:17
  This could have been an emergency.
• 12:18
  Yeah, it could have been an emergency, but but at that point
• 12:20
  it's even more terrifying. But it's like if you were like,
• 12:22
  oh, she was due any day. It's like, how dare you?
• 12:25
  Yeah, on my flight. But I I'm trying to eat the
• 12:28
  little Brie and cheese over here that I paid $15.
• 12:31
  For. Now I see somebody crowning.
• 12:36
  I'm trying to not be gross for people to have kids in the car
• 12:39
  or it's like. The miracle of childbirth is
• 12:42
  gross to you. Welcome.
• 12:42
  To the podcast. We're going to be getting a
• 12:44
  little gross real quick, no? What did that plane smell like?
• 12:47
  I don't know. After the baby was born, because
• 12:49
  on TV, birth looks so quick and easy and clean.
• 12:54
  Like, they pop out on TV. Yeah, on TV, the baby pops out
• 12:57
  and they're like, oh, isn't that cute?
• 12:58
  And then they cuddle. Like, in life, that's not how
• 13:01
  babying works. Yeah.
• 13:02
  Like there are things that I didn't even know this happened.
• 13:05
  Well, I had AC section, so you saw things that only the horrors
• 13:08
  of hell could bring out. I saw you saw all within you.
• 13:12
  Yeah, which was new, I saw. Because, by the way.
• 13:15
  Can I think I saw your gallbladder before you you.
• 13:17
  Know before it was like you're like that looks inflamed by the
• 13:20
  way can I just say like I had AC section they put up a a screen
• 13:23
  because Lily was breech and that was a whole issue and all this
• 13:26

  lady from Beetlejuice. At one point.
• 13:51
  I was just like, OK, this is. And then when they were sewing
• 13:53
  me up, they were talking about where they wanted to go for
• 13:55
  lunch. And it just made me realize,
• 13:57
  like, I just gave birth. This is something that's going
• 14:00
  to change my life for the rest of my life.
• 14:02
  This is a Tuesday. They do this everyday.
• 14:04
  They were like, I know we had deli sandwiches yesterday,
• 14:07
  though. But if you do, go get me the
• 14:09
  one. But just really light on the the
• 14:10
  vinaigrette sauce that they put on it makes the bread really
• 14:13
  soggy meanwhile. Meanwhile, coits playing in the
• 14:15
  background, our old. Radio station.
• 14:17
  Radio station. I'm like, she just missed a
• 14:18
  break, Yeah. It's like supposed to be in
• 14:20
  traffic by now, yeah. So it was a yeah anyway.
• 14:24
  So yeah, so calling customer service, normal birth, I'm

  calling Delta. Normal birth, there's things
• 14:28
  that happened after and you're just like, that's got to be
• 14:29
  gross, right? Like.

  Yeah, and imagine like, that's your plane that you're supposed
• 14:32
  to get on to, like, go see your grandma, who's got like 20
• 14:35
  minutes left to live and now they got to clean up the
• 14:37
  afterbirth. It's just delayed for, yeah, for
• 14:39
  forever. We got, we got to get a new
