  Welcome to the Nick and Kristen in the podcast.
• 0:13
  Podcast. Yes, we're still doing this.
• 0:14
  It's still happening. We're on episode 20 and at day
• 0:19
  49 of Unemployment. Yeah.
• 0:22
  How you doing, Nick? I don't know, man, it's starting
• 0:27
  to get to me now. Like I obviously the first
• 0:30
  couple of weeks I had hope someone's going to call,
• 0:32
  someone's going to be like, man, I've been waiting for you to be
• 0:35
  unemployed for years and now here's my chance.
• 0:38
  And everything that we've thought we were in the running
• 0:42
  for or things that we had thought we were going to get
• 0:47
  just kind of goes to this now. Yeah, we've interviewed a couple
• 0:49
  different places and yeah, just nobody has gotten back to us and
• 0:54
  we've had multiple conversations with multiple people.
• 0:57
  And so it's like, well, wait a second, you're, I don't know
• 1:00
  what's going on. Everyone's working on stuff.
• 1:02
  Yeah, everyone's working on things so.
• 1:03
  And their timeline's different than our timeline.
• 1:05
  They're like, well, when I can figure this out, I'm going to
• 1:08
  hit them up. And I'm like, it was, it needs
• 1:10
  to be immediate. I'm very unemployed.
• 1:12
  But what I've told you, and I'm going to stand by this, is the
• 1:15
  longer they take, the better because we we every once in a
• 1:19
  while a little thing trickles into our lap and we go, OK,
• 1:21
  let's explore that interview and all this kind of stuff, like
• 1:23
  eventually something's going to come.
• 1:25
  It's just, I know you're feeling kind of pinched right now.
• 1:28
  I know I'm feeling pinched as the only person bringing in
• 1:31
  money. And so that's scary for me and
• 1:34
  I'm stressed. But the longer that we can wait
• 1:37
  on making decisions about it, I think the better.
• 1:39
  There's so many people now in our business that are becoming
• 1:42
  unemployed. And I have such a like, impostor
• 1:47
  syndrome that now that they're unemployed, like, why would
• 1:50
  anybody want me? Like, they want them.
• 1:52
  Yeah, because they're the better talent or they're the more
• 1:54
  interesting person. And it's every time someone else
• 1:57
  gets fired, I go, well there, there went any chance I had.
• 2:00
  But I think you're all better than me.
• 2:02
  But I think you're looking at it differently, though, because
• 2:04
  every time we've interviewed someplace, all we've heard is
• 2:07
  glowing recommendations. Oh, so and so says you guys are
• 2:09
  the best. We've heard that you 2 are
• 2:11
  amazing to work with. Oh, we love what you've done
• 2:13
  with this and this radio station.
• 2:15
  Like everywhere we go, people know who we are and we have a
• 2:18
  good reputation in this business.
• 2:20
  Are there people more talented? Heck yes.
• 2:22
  But at the same time, like I think people want good people to
• 2:25
  work with now and they know that we're not like huge egos and
• 2:28
  that we're not asking for a whole lot when it comes to
• 2:31
  things. I hope so.
• 2:33
  You know, 49 days later and I'm. Everything.
• 2:37
  Yeah, it's weird because like, I'll be sitting in my therapy
• 2:39
  office being like, is this it now?
• 2:41
  And when I went, when I went into the hospital, they were
• 2:44
  asking me all these questions and they're like, are you still
• 2:46
  with the radio station? Because that's what I had down
• 2:48
  as my occupation. And I was like, no, actually.
• 2:51
  And they're like, what are you doing now?
• 2:52
  And I'm like a therapist. And then over the last couple
• 2:54
  days when people, nurses, emergency groom staff have been
• 2:58
  like, hey, what do you do for work?
• 2:59
  I'm like, I'm a therapist. Yeah.
• 3:03
  Like, I don't have to. I don't say radio anymore.
• 3:05
  Yeah, you're no longer. I'm no longer part of a morning
• 3:07
  show. It's so weird.
• 3:08
  I have to say, or someone's like, oh, you're, you're on the,
• 3:11
  you're on the morning show. And I was like, I used to be,
• 3:13
  yeah. Yeah, it's a super strange
• 3:16
  feeling, yeah. I don't now I'm a content
• 3:19
  creator. Yeah, it's like, Oh no, you're
• 3:21
  an influencer. Yeah.
• 3:23
  And then like, of course I overanalyze everything.
• 3:25
  I look at the YouTube numbers and the podcast numbers and I go
• 3:29
  I'm, I'm failing on all levels. So it's just like, yeah.
• 3:33
  So no, I'm not doing. Well, I know you're not.
• 3:35
  I'm so sorry. I'm not doing well either.
• 3:37
  I know well, you've just had a surgery and you've got all the
• 3:39
  at least you're working. I know have a have a thing to do
• 3:42
  every day. It's true and.
• 3:44
  You're a purpose. I understand, but like for me
• 3:47
  it's like I'm feeling so much stress that it's like I almost
• 3:51
  wish I didn't have a job to go to because then at least I could
• 3:53
  be home and stressed. Yeah.
• 3:55
  Whereas like when I'm at work, I'm, I'm stressed because every
• 3:57
  time a client like no shows, I'm like, well, there goes that
• 3:59
  money. Yeah, there goes that.
• 4:01
  And it's so scary, too. One client's not going to make
• 4:03
  us homeless. It's fine.
• 4:04
  It's we're OK. We're OK, it's just I just want
• 4:07
  to work. I just want to go do something.
• 4:08
  I wanted the a title to be to say that when someone asks, I
• 4:12
  go, well I'm something other than the guy that's at home.
• 4:16
  Well, I am also sad because I just discovered Japanese eBay
• 4:21
  and yes, so there's all these Japanese handbag companies on
• 4:27
  eBay now selling authentic handbags.
• 4:30
  Is this from the fallout that happened from the bags?
• 4:32
  No, a while ago. No, these are all pre owned bags
• 4:35
  that people had gotten rid of and they sell them at like
• 4:38
  exceptionally discounted rates. And I'm like, Oh my gosh, like
• 4:42
  I'm seeing dream handbags here for like 300 and $400.00.
• 4:46
  I'm like, yeah, if you would have hit me up six months ago, I
• 4:48
  would have. I would have had one right here
• 4:50
  to show you all, but I don't. The thing about you, though, is
• 4:53
  I've never seen you have a handbag.
• 4:55
  Anytime you've ever seen Kristen anywhere, she's never got a
• 4:58
  handbag on her. And then you love handbags, but
• 5:01
  they all sit in the. Closet, I know it's like, that's
• 5:03
  the thing. well-being on bombs different though, because it's
• 5:06
  like you got to make sure you got snacks and water and crayons
• 5:09
  in your bag. And so it's like, I've never
• 5:10
  needed a really nice purse because I always just have a
• 5:13
  backpack. I have a backpack I made.
• 5:15
  Yeah, that that's the only thing I use now.
• 5:17
  I like that. Backpack.
• 5:18
  I do too. I get a lot of you're a.
• 5:19
  Designer by Kristen Flowers. By Kristen Yeah.
• 5:23
  One of the things that I wanted to talk about was I think I want
• 5:25
  to be cryogenically frozen. All right, well, that's a new.
• 5:29
  That's a weird take. Give it to.
• 5:30
  Me, I I saw on Reddit that someone asked is this a possible
• 5:34
  thing? Is this something people are
• 5:36
  still working on? Have we made any like headway in
• 5:40
  the cryogenically frozen? Yes.
• 5:42
  No, we haven't. But yeah, I didn't imagine
• 5:44
  anyone was working on this. No.
• 5:45
  Well, they're working on it, but it brought it up and I think
• 5:49
  that's what I I don't know what I want to do after I die.
• 5:51
  Like, oh, I don't want, I don't know what I want you to do with
• 5:53
  me after I'm dead. I don't want to be cremated and
• 5:56
  I don't want to like be buried. I.
• 5:58
  Thought you wanted to be made into a tree?
• 6:00
  So I'm either going the natural, put me in the ground, don't I
• 6:03
  don't want to be like embalmed. Leave it all together.
• 6:06
  Send me out to the world. Let me become nature again.
• 6:09
  There's another one that you can be cremated with water and so
• 6:14
  your your body is just kind of hit with jets and soaked and
• 6:17
  like it starts to dissipate into the water and then the water is
• 6:19
  kind of flushed out into the ocean and so you're back in
• 6:22
  nature like you're finding a way there's.
• 6:24
  Ashes in the ocean. Yes I know but like I feel like
• 6:26
  fire is destroying everything. Like you're destroying as
• 6:30
  opposed to feeding. Yes.
• 6:33
  And then Neil deGrasse Tyson did something on this.
• 6:35
  When you're either way, your energy is getting pushed back
• 6:38
  into the universe. So if you're fire, then you just
• 6:40
  become heat and heat becomes something else.
• 6:42
  But I'd like to nourish as well. And so I thought, become a tree.
• 6:48
  But now I'm getting greedy and selfish that I want to be frozen
• 6:51
  instead, freeze me and then thaw me.
• 6:54
  Because one of the biggest fears that I have is that I won't be
• 6:57
  here to see where this all goes. Well, why is that even a?
• 7:00
  Fear well because I'm so curious like I really want to know where
• 7:04
  this goes I got we're here is this the best it's ever going to
• 7:07
  get is this the technology pinnacle is it going to get
• 7:10
  better are we going to space are we going to live on Mars like I
• 7:13
  want answers to all these things and I know that they're not
• 7:15
  going to happen in the next 100 years and so if I get to a point
• 7:19
  that they can do this freeze me if I'm about to die and then
• 7:23
  thaw me out later when technology's advanced and you
• 7:25
  can cure me and we can extend my life or chop my head there's.
• 7:28
  Too many questions to this First of all, who?
• 7:31
  How much would this cost It's. Not cheap.
• 7:33
  As far as I we don't have cryogenic freeze money.
• 7:35
  I don't think anybody does. If I.
• 7:36
  Volunteer maybe if it's if I donate the body.
• 7:39
  Who's storing you? There's companies that do.
• 7:41
  It And what if they go out of business?
• 7:42
  That's the thing. What if there's a power out?
• 7:44
  There they just throw you in the.
• 7:45
  Water. You know what I mean?
• 7:46
  Like it's. Just a lot.
• 7:47
  Of questions like I have to house your frozen body and pay
• 7:50
  for that no God like I can we visit you on Father's Day and
• 7:53
  put our hands up against the blast.
• 7:54
  Lily and I being like my dad. At least they're super weird at.
• 7:58
  Least there's a possibility that I could come back and see it
• 8:00
  all, whereas any other way there's no possibility.
• 8:02
  Yeah, but you'd have no frame of reference at that point.
• 8:04
  They'd they'd unfreeze you. Everything would be different.
• 8:07
  It would be so terrifying to you that you wouldn't be like, Oh my
• 8:10
  gosh, look at this brave new world.
• 8:13
  You just scream yourself to death and then you'd die that
• 8:15
  way with a heart attack. I'd be fine.
• 8:17
  I think as millennials, we're, we're the perfect.
• 8:19
  Well, we have seen some stuff we've.
• 8:20
  Adapted and so I'll have a bunch of stories to tell when we get
• 8:24
  there, if I can remember, depending on how memory.
• 8:27
  Affects your frozen physical ramifications of being frozen.
• 8:29
  I think it would just be cool, like it has the possibility that
• 8:32
  I could see where this ends and that would be cool.
• 8:35
  Yeah, well, but I don't know. I doubt it's.
• 8:38
  I can't afford it. No, I know, and I doubt it
• 8:40
  they'll ever find a way to unfreeze the people that are
• 8:43
  cryogenically frozen, but yeah. Maybe they.
• 8:44
  Will who knows? I didn't think that we'd be able
• 8:46
  to send signals to the moon and back in, but here we.
• 8:48
  Are I don't think that they would have the technology to to
• 8:51
  freeze you and then not know how to unfreeze you.
• 8:54
  Well, they could freeze. Those two things would be
• 8:55
  learned together. You would think they can freeze
• 8:58
  you now, but they can't unfreeze you.
• 9:00
  That's. That's the problem.
• 9:01
  I can freeze myself, yeah, but like that means.
• 9:03
  Safeway, it's like an instant freeze, like, but it's the
• 9:07
  instant thought. It's the thawing that your body
• 9:09
  freaks out. Yeah, well, I had this kind of
• 9:11
  near death experience just because I don't know which time
• 9:13
  we have it like because of the like the surgery, right, 'cause
• 9:18
  every time you go under anesthesia, like there's a
• 9:20
  possibility you could not wake up, right.
• 9:21
  Over little. Stuff.
• 9:22
  Yeah. And I was like starting to get
• 9:23
  emotional, 'cause I'm like, is this it?
• 9:25
  Like, could I die on the operating, operating table?
• 9:27
  Like, I know this is an easy surgery.
• 9:29
  And then a part of me was like, should I go back through my
• 9:31
  photos and look at like pictures of baby Lily, regular Lily or
• 9:35
  Nick? Yeah.
• 9:36
  And be like, oh, absorb this. And then I realized, but no, but
• 9:39
  I would just be dead. I wouldn't know that I have
• 9:41
  would have died like once they put me under, like, that's it.
• 9:45
  Like, no picture of you is going to be ingrained in my brain.
• 9:49
  Like I'm just going to be done. And that got me a lot of
• 9:51
  comfort. I was like, Oh yeah, I don't
• 9:52
  have to like stress cram for the end of my life because I won't
• 9:56
  even remember. There's no test to take.
• 9:58
  At least given the passwords, but you don't care 'cause
• 10:00
  you're. Dead.
• 10:00
  Well, I do. And that's the thing.
• 10:01
  You were surprised by this, but I 'cause we had this
• 10:03
  conversation, like, what if you died?
• 10:05
  Like, what would you know? How could you survive without
• 10:07
  me? Essentially.
• 10:08
  And I said like, I have something on my laptop.
• 10:11
  You just type your name into the search and you'll see a document
• 10:14
  that's got like all my passwords to all of my accounts.
• 10:17
  And he was like, oh, never even thought to do that.
• 10:19
  I was like thanks a lot. Why would I search my name on
• 10:21
  your computer? Because you would hope that I
• 10:22
  would leave you something. I would just assume that
• 10:26
  somebody would call me like who? Who's telling you the life
• 10:28
  insurance people don't? You have a will you don't have.
• 10:30
  Any life. Insurance you have a will.
• 10:32
  You I have AI have a living well, I have a will, but like
• 10:34
  this is before we we owned anything so there's no house,
• 10:38
  there's no cars and there's no kid on there It was like an
• 10:40
  enforcement from like years ago we.
• 10:41
  Just definitely figured this out.
• 10:42
  I know if any company that's listening wants to sponsor us
• 10:45
  that would be great. So I looked into it.
• 10:46
  It's like 2 grand. Yeah, it's very expensive, but
• 10:49
  you know, you have to have it so.
• 10:52
  I know that's how they get you, so can I just write a note?
• 10:55
  I think I could just. Write it.
• 10:55
  I don't know. I think it has to be like
• 10:57
  notarized and stuff. I think there needs to be.
• 10:58
  Procedures trust you, it should be fine.
• 11:00
  But like, here's. What I want is my passwords
• 11:02
  taking. It they could any any Superman
• 11:04
  notepad that I wrote Nick Gutz, everything.
• 11:06
  I don't know if that's admissible in court.
• 11:08
  Like I don't know if that or if the government would take all of
• 11:10
  it. I have no idea.
• 11:11
  I. Was gonna say shoot a video of
• 11:12
  me doing it but AI so so advanced now you can probably
• 11:14
  figure that. Out for my 4 O 1K it it's you
• 11:17
  and Lily split it. OK.
• 11:18
  So that's at least what I have, but there's not a lot in there,
• 11:21
  Yeah. Well, it's not getting added to
• 11:22
  anymore. Nope, not anymore.
• 11:24
  I guess I mean, we could still talk about this, but we have a
• 11:27
  little bit of time. I wanted to bring up, I wanted
• 11:29
  to bring up a guy who proposed to his fiance with 100 lbs of
• 11:33
  gravel from the Sapphire Mine in Montana.
• 11:36
  You're talking to my leg, I. Know I saw this and I was like
• 11:38
  this is exactly what Kristen wants to do and now I'm even
• 11:40
  more I think we should do it because we might make money who
• 11:44
  knows this is the way to for us to be rich.
• 11:46
  There's a sapphire mine in Montana and you can buy dirt
• 11:50
  from where the sapphires grow and whatever you get in the dirt
• 11:53
  you keep. So he proposed with this 100 lbs
• 11:56
  of sand or dirt from Montana and they went through and they
• 11:59
  sifted, they found 105 stones. 46 of them were like viable
• 12:03
  stones that they sent off to have heated treated or.
• 12:06
  Treated. I mean got back a bunch of stuff
• 12:08
  so I have a picture. Of the stuff I have been dying
• 12:11
  to do this. So this, yeah, those, that's the
• 12:13
  raw sapphires. No, that's after they've been
• 12:15
  polished. Oh, really?
• 12:16
  After this you cut them right, Right.
• 12:18
  So this is but like they look at they got an orange.
• 12:20
  One I know and I could. Like the Blues are beautiful.
• 12:22
  I've been dying to do this because they'll send the dirt to
• 12:24
  your house. I know, and that's how he did it
• 12:26
  so well, I think we should do. It you know me like this is all
• 12:30
  I want out of life now. Like I get into these little
• 12:32
  kicks. Before we got let go, I was
• 12:34
  thinking of buying a gem cutting machine.
• 12:36
  Yeah. And we talked about that, buying
• 12:38
  raw gems. And you can, there's a program
• 12:40
  that shows you, like, what you have to do.
• 12:42
  And you follow along with the program.
• 12:43
  And then afterwards you get this, like, beautifully cut
• 12:45
  diamond. And then you can get it set
• 12:47
  somewhere in whatever jewelry you want.
• 12:48
  Now I say we buy that, we buy the £100 from the sapphire mine
• 12:52
  and then we sell those stones. Well, I don't know if they're
• 12:56
  like voluntarily worth like a time that's a real.
• 12:58
  Sapphire. Sure, but like, they're not
• 13:00
  expensive. Like, that's what people don't
• 13:03
  understand. Like diamonds, sapphires, they
• 13:05
  don't hold a lot of monetary value.
• 13:08
  It's the Jewelers that inflate the prices.
• 13:10
  So they make you think that sapphires are really expensive.
• 13:13
  Like they're not like, because yeah, I've been following
• 13:15
  somebody on TikTok that's been getting the gravel.
• 13:17
  Yeah. And you find like.
• 13:19
  Well, for them. Every time, every time you get
• 13:20
  like 20 to 30, like small small little fragments of pieces but
• 13:24
  then like some of them are too small to cut or whatever.
• 13:26
  Yeah, that's what that's in the Biome.
• 13:27
  So how much is the 100 lbs do you know?
• 13:30
  I don't know about the £100 but I know there is one from a
• 13:32
  sapphire mine that I was looking to get.
• 13:34
  It was $70.00 for the bag. I know I felt that way too, but
• 13:38
  I was just like, well I don't know how to cut them and.
• 13:41
  So general cost? Oh wait, sapphires can cost 300
• 13:45
  to $2000 per carat. So you could sell them for high
• 13:47
  quality or whatever, but I want to see the.
• 13:52
  Is that the sapphire mind? I'm assuming sapphiremind.com.
• 13:56
  Maybe, let's see. But there is an amethyst mind in
• 13:59
  Arizona that I really want to go to because I'm going to be out
• 14:02
  in Arizona in October. And you can go into an amethyst
• 14:07
