Transcript
- Olivia: This podcast is for entertainment, informational, educational purposes only. Although the hosts are licensed therapists, this podcast is not a substitute for professional mental health services. Listening to this podcast does not create a therapist-client relationship. Andrea: I just did the most ridiculous countdown, welcome to a rabbit trail episode, everyone. Again, I'm actually really liking recording these at night because I feel like I've had a whole day to just like be in my brain. Yeah. And then. Olivia: too. You're like saving up and you're like the ultimate form of goofy by the end of the day. Yeah. Andrea: If you are experiencing mental health concerns, please seek help from a qualified mental health professional in your area. If you are in crisis, call or text a suicide prevention line in your country immediately. In the U.S., you can call or text 988 or use online chat at 988lifeline.org. Yeah, well there was something about like, like I liked recording in the morning, but recording in the morning I felt like my brain was so blank that now that we record at night, I'm like, all the stuff comes back to me and it's all like juicing in my brain. Olivia: Just a bunch of slosh up there, just juicing. Andrea: Right, ⁓ I know, it's... and this is a week, I'm about to catch a plane in like a couple of hours, so... ⁓ Olivia: ⁓ my gosh. know what I've been thinking about? Andrea: Call me. Olivia: So I was just on vacation. I was down Andrea's hood. ⁓ was lovely. I realized it's kind of like the first vacation I've had in a long time. like, ⁓ I should probably do that more often. ⁓ note, I went to a gelato place down there ⁓ and cannot stop thinking about this gelato flavor I got. It. Andrea: Yep. Yeah. Mmm. Olivia: broke my brain. It was so good. I've never had any ice cream or gelato, anything remotely in that category quite like it. It was marketed as peanut butter crunch. And I was like, ⁓ I love peanut butter. Great. I'll get it. Girl, I don't know if you know this about me. love Ferrero Rocheres. The crunch in the gelato was Ferrero Rocheres. So it was peanut butter gelato with Ferrero Rocheres. Andrea: Okay, yeah. Whoa. Olivia: It was so good. So good. Andrea: What a sensory experience that must have been, just in a good way, you know? Olivia: ⁓ yeah. And you know, honestly, the thing I'm maddest about, I went to this gelato place three times when I was there. Andrea: amazing. ⁓ Olivia: I got it on the third time. than the first two times. So I only had it once, right? I've been still thinking about it. Cause I'm like, generally ⁓ the combo of Nutella and peanut butter. If you haven't had it, highly recommend. ⁓ it's so good. But then with a fair share, you get the Nutella piece, but then you get the crunch. ⁓ Andrea: That always happens. ⁓ Mm-hmm. ⁓ so good. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah. ⁓ my goodness. So would you be excited for me or jealous and upset if I went? Olivia: So good. It was so good. It'd be a very bittersweet experience, but I would want you to experience it. It is important enough as like a thing on its own that you should experience it. Andrea: Right, right. It's a bummer that it would be... No, I don't think you can, because I don't know if ice cream is considered a solid. I was like, how can I get it to you next time I fly up there? Olivia: The idea of like people generally like bringing food on airplanes to other people, I'm gonna be honest with you, even if it wasn't ice cream, it would gross me the hell out. Like, ⁓ I made these cookies and they're in, and I'll be like, you can, no. Andrea: Yeah, my husband... My husband always tries to get me to bring home pizza from Seattle, so whenever I go up there, he's like, bring home Moto Pizza, and I'm like, I'm literally not gonna be the person that brings an entire pizza on the plane. Olivia: Although I've had them once and I've actually been really wanting to go have them again. Their clam chowder pizza blew my flipping mind. It was so good. So good. Andrea: Really good. Yeah, same, same. Yes, literally big plug for Moto Pizza. If you're ever at a Mariners game, they now have them at Mariners games, but they've got multiple locations now. And yeah, they have one in Bellingham now, which is super exciting. I'm really pumped about. ⁓ But we first went in during Covid and during Covid Moto Pizza had the six week wait because they had one location. Olivia: in the Seattle area and they're so good. Wow. Andrea: and you had to sign up to be on a list to get pizza on a specific day and specific time. Yeah. Yeah. Olivia: Wow, okay, that's insane Andrea: Yeah, and then just like after COVID, I think they went viral during COVID and like that's how they got so popular. And then just like it kept going and going and going and it's so. Olivia: It's so good. And they also have, at least the one that I've been to, closest location to me. ⁓ They have a lot of, they do a lot of soft serve there and they're like ⁓ unique, interesting flavors. So that's really fun because related to this, I feel like this whole episode is going to be about food now. ⁓ I think more pizza places should be good at milkshakes. I don't know why we decided that milkshakes go with burgers. Andrea: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. you Milkshakes do go with pizza very well. Olivia: But yeah, ⁓ need to go with pizza too. This isn't always. ⁓ Andrea: and they also bring all the boys to the yard. Olivia: I mean, I don't even know why you needed to say that. It's just a given. Andrea: I would hope everybody knew that. Just saying. Yeah. Olivia: But it's like, it's another like, pizza's another great savory salty thing. Milkshakes are perfect to pair with that. Andrea: Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah. Do you, how do you feel about pizzas that's like slightly spicy? Ugh. Olivia: Perfect. Love it. I mean, I always put like red pepper flakes on my pizza anyways. Yeah. Andrea: Yeah, like, Modo actually makes a pizza that has a hot honey on it. And I love a hot honey. And like a hot honey with like a soft serve ice cream afterwards. Olivia: Yeah, my tongue is getting the tingles, if you know what I mean. Andrea: Yum. I know. Mm hmm. So good. Olivia: How do we span so many things? I'm looking at the time in six minutes. How have we spanned so many things? Andrea: Holy shit. It's neurodivergence. Insert glittery words above my head. Olivia: word. Here's the other thing that's been on my mind. You don't actually get any room to talk. is can't remember their names. Dang it. Okay. I'll have to find them again on social media and then send them to you. ⁓ But like these two guys. they have kind of like a podcast. Sometimes they come on a talk show. I don't know. They're really funny, but they play all these like random games on their pod. Andrea: Yeah. Okay, is it the two Italian guys? Basement yard? Olivia: think so. ⁓ one guy have like kind of like a more of like a mustache ish Yes ⁓ Andrea: ⁓ huh. Yeah. Okay, yeah. I love them. I don't remember their names either, but I know what you're talking about. Olivia: Okay, they are I, I like every once in a while, my algorithm will send like, put like compilation reels of them. And it is so freaking funny. Like the games that they play, like there was one that I was watching it was like, they give you two letters and they they're both in a competition to figure out like to say a word that starts with the one letter and ends with the other. And I was like, these games, what Andrea and I would like Andrea: Same. Yeah. So good. Mm-hmm. Olivia: pee ourselves laughing trying to do these things because like So that's what that's what's been on my mind is like at some point we should upgrade our rabbit trial episodes to be like game specific and we should like play games like that. Andrea: love it. Yeah, for sure. That's, ⁓ don't know how things connect because one of the things that I wanted to bring today was one my past current peers or whatever just messaged me like an hour ago a Steam game called Vampire Therapist have you seen this? ⁓ Olivia: I just saw... I saw a reel about it and I was like, weird. then I like, scrolled to the next thing. Andrea: I watched the video and I was like, wait, so you to be the therapist? you should stream this one time on your podcast. Olivia: that's so funny. Yeah. Andrea: Yeah. I was like, I don't know about that, but I appreciate you sending it to me. Olivia: would be really funny. ⁓ Andrea: We also need to try to play horrible therapist at some point because LJ won't play it with me, so. Olivia: Well, is the pit. Andrea: You ⁓ I see what you did there. Olivia: I know, it's so funny. I just totally lost my train of thought. I got a new card game ⁓ for my Shout out to sister, she got it for me. And I was trying look up before we started recording, there was two on my list and I can't remember which one was which. So I might be like totally misremembering. ⁓ Andrea: Okay. Olivia: Like, the point of this stupid card game. Anyways, I've been really excited about it for a while, because it's been on my list for a long time. But the basis of the card game is basically coming up with, like, out-complementing the other person and, basically, like, being in, like, a compliment war. And then everyone has to vote of, which compliment was, like, more genuine. Andrea: Okay. Olivia: And I'm so excited to play this card game. Andrea: gosh. This ⁓ be really bad for some people who can't take compliments. Olivia: So yeah. Yeah, ⁓ we're gonna see how I do, because I don't really take comp- don't take compliments. Andrea: I don't either. It would be really fun that if in the future, if we ever got to the point with this podcast where we had a producer, like a third person in here just like controlling everything and let, know, that we would just play games and they would be the moderator of the games. Like that would be so fun. Olivia: ⁓ Yeah, that would be... yeah, totally. That's why I'm saying like, future goals, that would be really fun. Andrea: So. Yeah, so listeners, ⁓ share your favorite episodes with your friends so we can get more listeners so that we can one day have some more fun. Olivia: you somebody direct Because we need direction, please. ⁓ Andrea: That's the only reason. And then I don't have to edit it anymore either, you know, you can just take it all from me. Olivia: Yeah. Yeah, save Andrea. save Andrea, because I... I think I'm too old and dumb at this point to figure out how to ⁓ I like, I... Yeah. ⁓ Andrea: Ha ha ha. It's a weird hyper fixation of mine to do it. Like I get really sucked into it and I can do it really fast now, which is weird, but. Olivia: I mean, I think that's great, right? But I've ⁓ getting back into my farming game because my daughter just got into Stardew Valley. I don't like Stardew Valley. I just don't like the graphic style. Blugh. Blugh. ⁓ I've playing my farm game a lot. And ⁓ wow, the focus is coming back. Holy. ⁓ Andrea: Yeah. Yeah. Olivia: I mean, like, I'm a gamer, right? Like, obviously I have hyper-focus, but farming games, when you focus in, it hits a little bit different. It's different than, like, the other games I play, which is like online multiplayer. So, like, the games are rotating and, it's just, there's enough difference that, I don't know, I don't notice hyper-focus in the same way, but I'm, like, living my best life. Like, I just adopted my third pet. I know, it's like, like, ⁓ focused. ⁓ Andrea: Yeah. Right. There's like, it's like whimsy gives a different type of dopamine almost. Olivia: Well that, but this is how farm games get me. I hadn't played this specific farm game, it's called Coral Island, highly recommend it. A little bit more indie, but I love the art style, very fun. I hadn't played it in like a year and a half, maybe two years maybe. So there's been a ton of updates to the game, which is great. It's a very actively updated game. So there's so much more to do. So I have all these Andrea: Yeah. Mm-hmm. Olivia: tasks or like activities and that's how I get sucked in is like I have to do all these things Andrea: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Olivia: That's when it starts. And I like, can feel it. Like earlier today, I'm like, ooh, I'm just gonna like play my farm game tonight. And I was like, gonna. Andrea: Totally. Yeah. Yeah. Olivia: And I won't want to go start it after this because I'll know I want to play it for too long and I have to go to bed. Andrea: I know, and they get you with the tasks that are long-term too, where it's like you have to do something, then you have to deliver it the next day, then they give you something, or whatever the task pathway is. Olivia: Oh yeah, it's like, oh, like this person needs this thing and it's like, oh, that only grows in the next season, like fucker. And you're like so pissed because you have to like wait a whole nother season and like, yeah. Andrea: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Back when I was into Animal Crossing, like Animal Crossing was a, it was in real time, which really bothered me because there were so many tasks that you could do. But I would have, I would like go and change my Switch or my GameCube's like physical time clock in the, in the system so that it would like speed up time. And then I would like go back and forth. would time travel because I got so impatient that I was like, want to finish these tasks. I need to get these tasks done. It worked! Olivia: That's amazing. I'm sure other people do that. I'm sure other people do that. just, hadn't, I hadn't even, that's amazing. Wow. It's like a cheat code. Andrea: Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah. But that's ultimately why I... Yeah, but it's also ultimately why I stopped and gave up on that game because it got exhausting. Olivia: when the challenge becomes like, too time consuming. The irony. Yeah. Andrea: Yeah, yeah. And like, I think I told you when I was playing Stardew, I like, I think I've done like either four or six years within Stardew Valley. And like, it's like ⁓ a day is like a couple of, it's like five minutes or something like, or 10 minutes. I don't remember how it works. Is it longer? Olivia: Oh, it's long. mean, well, at least in the game. Yeah, in the game I'm playing like a day's probably like 10, 15 minutes. Andrea: That makes more sense. Yeah, I wanna say it's probably around the same. And like that was nicer. But I would go through these days and then you would go to sleep and it would just automatically start the next day. So if I just needed to get a task done to go on the next, I would just go to sleep, even if it was like 1 p.m. Olivia: You just go to sleep? Yeah, yeah. Like, no one can tell me what to do. Andrea: Right. I love those games. They're just so cozy and like really cute and whimsical. Olivia: Yeah, and the funny thing is, is when I think about them, I think one of the nicest things about them is that they're really easy to like and stop. But the irony is, of course, that once you start, it's really hard to stop. ⁓ Andrea: Yeah. Yeah. They're like, we're gonna make this game slow and so that you can stop and pause and come back to it. And it's like, not for ADHDers. Olivia: Yeah, my kiddo's like her favorite thing to do right now during her screen time is she likes to play Stardew Valley on the Switch for 30 minutes and she wants me to play my farm game on the TV at the same time. So we're like farming together and I, there a like cut scene for a date with my husband in the game ⁓ and on the way home from school today and she goes. ⁓ Andrea: ⁓ I love that. Mm-hmm. Olivia: For my screen time I wanna farm together again. I was like, ⁓ okay, great. Like, you know, I love cuddling with you, cause we like get to sit right next to each other and I've got my controller and she's got the switch. she's like, but mommy, ⁓ you do any more play dates, can you tell me so I can watch? Andrea: That's precious. ⁓ my gosh, I want a lot. Olivia: It was so cute. Yeah. Yeah, I wanna watch. I'm like, ⁓ yeah, they don't really have dates in Stardew Valley, do they? Andrea: No, you like give someone a flower and then you're married the next day. Olivia: ⁓ yeah, no. That's why Coral Island is great because there's all these different cutscenes for all the different, like they call them townies. And like, they're like, at least make the characters like somewhat interesting, but then all the like datables, you could have like specific cutscenes with all of them. And then when you're married, you can like ask people to hang out and like go to different parts of the like town on like a date or to like hang out. Andrea: Mm-hmm. Olivia: So it's fun because it like, yeah, shows you like a little cut scene and all that. Yeah. Andrea: I love it. I love it. I'm gonna have to, I'm gonna have to get into it again. Olivia: Yeah, I definitely recommend Coral Island. It's so fun. It's so fun. Yeah, it's been sucking my life away. I'm feeling it. It's going. It's my life force just out into the ether. Andrea: I love it. I love it. That's amazing. Okay, I need to pivot real quick here because there has been something eating at my brain that I haven't talked to you about because I wanted to wait until today to talk to you about it because it is consuming my social media feed. Actually, probably our brilliant mind social media feed and I probably need to stop using that account for that. But it's semi therapy related and there's this, it's not really a trend and it's not really a scandal. ⁓ But a therapist maybe a week ago now or maybe less than a week ago posted a video that was like a client of theirs or something got mad that they drink water in session. Have you seen this? Olivia: ⁓ think I saw a reference to it. Okay, go on. Andrea: And now it's now it's just like so that I saw that original video and in that original video she's like talking about how like It's okay for us to drink water because we're human like we work all day or like whatever and she's like if you don't like it we can have a conversation about it we can talk about it and then the comment section Was what really sucked me in and this the comment section is what started? all these therapists like coming to this therapist support and being like making fun in a way of this whole scenario because someone trolled the hell out of this therapist and was so angry and was like refuse to go to therapy now because ⁓ don't believe therapists should eat during sessions, drink during sessions, yawn during sessions because I was molested and attacked. by my therapist with a water bottle. And it just like kept going. This person like left multiple comments about this and just like, there was probably than a thousand comments on this person and most of them were that commenter just blowing this therapist up about how ⁓ shouldn't be allowed to drink water. Olivia: I'm gonna take a second. Andrea: Yet again. Olivia: Wow. Andrea: Yeah, yeah. And then the very next video, the very next video I think I may have sent you was like the what your therapist's drink says about them. Olivia: Wow. Yes, yeah. Andrea: Which is, I was like, that is great comedic timing. But yeah, it was so intense. I was like, this is wild. So now ⁓ this conversation in the therapist content creator world about whether or not we should be allowed to drink water. Isn't that wild? Olivia: Yeah. Wait, what? Andrea: Yeah. If drinking water triggers you, tell your therapist right away. Olivia: Mm. Andrea: It's been consuming my brain. cannot get it out. I'm just like I need to know not even anything to know but I'm just like why is this happening? Why is this even a question? Olivia: Yeah, I mean... What? Andrea: Right? Olivia: get, you know, like do, would I ever eat in a session or have I ever ate food in a session? No, no, no, ⁓ never gonna do that. Clients have so many times. I don't care, cares? It's your session. ⁓ Andrea: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah. I think I've eaten like once or twice in a session, but I didn't just do it. I politely was like, hey, I haven't had a second. I'm just finishing up my blueberries right now, just so you are aware. Please let me know if you need me to mute myself. But then I'm like done in two seconds. Cause I'm just like, it's a back to back day or a busy day. And every one of my clients has been like, you're a human. Like that's totally fine. eat. Like suck a lollipop. Like, I don't care. Olivia: Yeah. Okay, maybe not... maybe not that! Andrea: There are times, because here in Arizona it gets so hot though, that I'm like, all I really want to do is have a popsicle because it's so hot. Olivia: Oh, that's so funny. mean, I was, what came to mind is like two things. One, I was like, well, I'm not gonna limit or have boundaries around when clients could like partake in in a session. So generally like if I'm not gonna hold them to that standard, then I'm like, why would I hold myself to that standard inherently, right? So that was one. And then I was like trying to think of other situations in which like, Andrea: Right. Right. Olivia: a professional, whatever that professional person ⁓ like, are they drinking water? Because I was like, my first thought was like, have I ever seen my doctor, any doctor drink water at an appointment? And I'm like, no, I've never seen a, I've never seen any doctor have a water bottle with them at an appointment. But then I'm like, Andrea: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I'm only seated in a telehealth appointment. Olivia: Ooh, yeah. But even then, here's the thing. You're seeing a doctor for like 10 to 15 minutes. We're sitting down with a client for like an hour. Andrea: Yeah. Also, right, and also, doctor walked into the office with a Stanley in their hand, I'd be like, hell yeah. Olivia: Well yeah, that was the next thing I was gonna say, like I've never seen a doctor do it, but I wouldn't give a hoot if they, like it's water. not like they're throwing back a martini in my face. And if they were, slay, I don't care. That's like not my body, not my life. Like whatever. ⁓ You what I mean? Like give me my meds, let me go. ⁓ So that's bonkers to me. Andrea: Mm-hmm. Right. Right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, obviously, us as therapists, yeah, it's a problem if you see your therapist chugging down a Heineken, but like... Olivia: Yeah, but I think pretty like categorically that isn't happening. Andrea: Exactly. Like if that's happening, you probably should fire your therapist. report them to the board actually. But yeah, I was just like, is ⁓ craziest therapist drama I've ever seen on the internet. Olivia: Yeah. Yeah, did kind of relate. I did once hear feedback about, it was like somebody commenting about another therapist, but I kind of like sat there and I was like, it was like, made a comment that they didn't like that the therapist was wearing a sweatshirt. Andrea: Mm-hmm. ⁓ I remember. Yeah. Yeah. Olivia: And I was like... Andrea: Sorry guys, I'm gonna show up with a graphic tee or a sweatshirt, like. Olivia: I was like, Andrea: If that's not your vibe, just don't work with me. Olivia: I mean, I generally try to wear a sweatshirt that is just a plain color. But my comfort sweatshirt does have a logo on the front, you know? It's a sweatshirt, I love the sweatshirt. I actually had to fight myself not to wear it tonight to record, because I'm positive there's so many podcast recordings of me in this sweatshirt, because I just like the sweatshirt. It's a perfect size, I like the color, it's not too thick, it's not like... Andrea: Right. Yeah. Yeah. Olivia: It's perfect. I wish I could replicate it, but it's not a solid color. I remember being like, ⁓ get like, I've never heard any feedback or heard of anyone getting feedback about like ⁓ the therapist has worn in session. Andrea: Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Me neither. mean... feel like, I don't know, there's something in the back of my brain about somebody saw a therapist that was like wearing a spaghetti strap tank top. Personally, that's too much for me. I wouldn't do that. Even if I wear a tank top, it's like a very thick one or those like halter ones, or I wear a sweater or like a shirt on top. But like, I feel like it, like especially telehealth, like if you're just seeing spaghetti straps, like that's a little, I don't know, but. I feel like there is a level of professionalism, but like a sweatshirt doesn't bother me. Does that make sense? Like, I don't know. Olivia: Yeah, I don't know. It's kind of funny, like, remember... I way back, I used to like do all these like inter-employment interviews. And I just like could not keep my cynicism to myself at this point. Like I was so done with the like jokers. Get in to the like interview and this person I, okay back up, I freaking hate virtual backgrounds. I hate them. I, ⁓ yes, I hate them. They're so distracting. They're so fake. I hate it. Andrea: They're so distracting for me. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Olivia: Even when it's like, even when they really like super blur out their background, that kind of like, better, but it's not, it's not great. ⁓ into an employment interview and this person has that like fish aquarium one where like the fish are like moving back and forth. And I am literally like, I'm, ⁓ eyes are going to bleed. My eyes are going to bleed. And I remember being like, wow, the fish. Cause it was like the first time I had seen this one. Andrea: BLEH No. Olivia: like seeing this specific, I was so freaking over it. was like, wow, the fish. She's like, I know, isn't it like so fun? Like, I feel like clients just are like really gonna love that. And I was like, maybe. And then she was like talking about how much she like wanted to be a remote therapist. And I'm like, never, never in a million billion years, never in a million billion years should you be using Andrea: Yeah. Yeah. No, no, no, no, no. Not with the fake fish background. Olivia: fake backgrounds, especially if you're a therapist that does tell how awful. Andrea: You've seen some shit in backgrounds. Now that you're talking about this. Yeah. Yeah. like sparking my memory. like, I mean, I've seen weird backgrounds of clients, but I feel like that's like, that's part of the job, but like. Olivia: Yeah, because are you thinking about the other one I've seen that's like absolutely insane? Yeah. But when you're trying to be professional, yeah, okay. So, okay, just for the world to know, because I know exactly the one you're thinking about is another one. And it was this guy and the background was like his kitchen. And he had taken all like roll of paper towels and put it like one end of the counter and then like dragged it ⁓ of the way over the counter, but not completely to kind of like. Andrea: And in an interview? Olivia: clearly hide what was on the counter. But then the part that was not covered by paper towels were all of the alcohol bottles that he like pushed to the one side that he thought, I think he, I think he thought he was covering them with his body. He was not. I kid you not, there had to be like 20 different clearly opened alcohol bottles on the counter behind him. Andrea: Mm-hmm. Olivia: and then with this like paper towel. I'm like, if you're gonna cover it, cover it all buddy. Like what are you doing? Like that's an instance of like, you should have just gone with the fake background. Andrea: Yeah. Yeah. ⁓ yeah, or even like I wouldn't even have cared if the window was the background on that one. Olivia: Yeah, blur it out. Literally anything. An employment interview with 20 alcohol battles behind you. Could you imagine? Andrea: Buddy. Yeah. Olivia: Jesus take the wheel. Andrea: Literally, literally, or at least like, I don't well, maybe this isn't any better or just be like, I had a party last night. I haven't had time to clean up. No, just kidding. That's not better. That's not better. No. Olivia: No, that's not better. There's no way to excuse it. There's no way to excuse it. Cancel the interview and reschedule it. I don't under like, no. So funny. Andrea: ⁓ no. Yeah. There's been times. There's been times. Olivia: like, hiring managing, I it's really fun. ⁓ I do. I think it's so fun. But it is freaking hilarious. Andrea: Mm-hmm. ⁓ yeah Yeah Yeah, I did an interview once for someone and like All of a sudden I saw a leg pop up Have I told you about this? Olivia: I'm sure you have, but I like- Andrea: I'm sure, but they were like doing an interview. think they were, they may have been in another country and they needed to take the interview or something. I don't know. That was besides the point. But all of a sudden I saw this like leg come into screen and then go out of screen. And I was like, okay. And she just didn't say anything. And then all of a sudden the leg was on her shoulder. She just goes... She whacks it off. Olivia: would have have had to take a moment. ⁓ Andrea: think what I did was I was like, hey, is now a good time? Do you need time? I think is what I said. And she's like, ⁓ no, that's just my sister. some relative of some kind and I was like, okay. Olivia: gosh. You ⁓ man, there was another time and you actually know this person that I'm gonna, I'll text you who it is. So I was doing like an interview with this person then they wanted to have like a phone follow up because they had more questions or whatever and I'm like, it'd just be easier if we talked. was like, sure. So ⁓ got the phone, ⁓ all stuff and ⁓ Andrea: Mm-hmm. Olivia: It was a little bit odd because like they were kind of muffled and I couldn't quite figure out why and she's like, ⁓ I'm like, I'm sorry. I'm just like out walking my dog. So it's like the best time for me to do it. And I was like, well, I don't really care because it's not that it's like I'm not interviewing you. I'm just answering your questions like, OK, whatever. And then. at one point I hear like, ⁓ the phone drop. Andrea: Yeah.
