I was just looking at a picture of Jennifer Lawrence at the Taylor Swift Show, And here's my question. Do you think celebrities, all of them actually like pay for tickets because Taylor can't give every celebrity free tickets or VIP treatment, Because I'm sure there are tons of celebrities that want to go to a
popular show like that. And like I saw Reese Witherspoon there with her daughter at one of them within the Nashville ones, and they were in a VIP suite and then a lot of She's like a VIP tent on the floor where her closest friends like Blake Lively will be. But then I saw, like Sabrina, I've seen so many people at these and I'm wondering does she see all them after the show? I don't think she does, because I think she gets out of there immediately. Yep. Do they have people contact her?
It's so I'm just so curious about how it works. If you're Jennifer Lawrence, I don't think they're very good friends. I would say that no, none of them pay for any of it. I think that there are people, So maybe Reese Weatherspoon was in some sweet that's already a sponsored suite, and that person has a connection with Reese, with her Spurrens people, and somehow they were like, yeah, bring them along, you can come
be in our suite. And I think that I mean, for example, this whole thing over the weekend where those girls were getting harassed by the security guard and then they just had extra tickets to give them the next night, even though everything's settled out. I think that there is such an allotment of tickets that Taylor Swift's people have to give out to whoever they feel like they need. And then Jennifer Lawrence happened to be free when Taylor Swift was wherever
she was just now and her people reach out. We're like, hey, can we get tickets for Jennifer to see Taylor? Yeah? Because I feel like they would wouldn't. I didn't see a Reese with security people, But like, what do you think someone like Jennifer Lawrence would need some kind of security because everyone's gonna swarm her. I don't know, anyway, These are my these are my thoughts. Are you saying that you want your people out for you? I like Reese of Jennifer Lawrence, don't want to be swarmed
at you. Just kidding, swarming, just kidding, Okay, email, I have been an avid listener. I get worried reading some of these that I'm like reading one that should be for Dave. So either way, here we go. If it is for Dave, I'll forwarded to him after I read him. I've been an avid listener for over ten years. In respect all of your opinions immensely, especially Dave's. I lost my dad when I was eighteen, and you have been sort of a father figure to me.
Foulon, Jenny and Drake, I love you too. For the past twelve years, I've struggled with drugs and alcohol and have been to numerous outpatient treatments and too impatient treatments. I relapsed again after being sober for two months, and the treatment team at my outpatient center wants me to go to inpatient again. The problem is that I have two very codependent cats, whom I love very much. I know that none of you can give medical advice, but
I don't want to leave them. In contrast, my mom died of alcoholism, and I don't want to end up the same way. I just wanted to ask your honest opinion on what you would do if you have pets, had pets and had to go away for a month. I also wanted to thank you for being there to always cheer me up. I listen to your podcasts over and over when I'm having a bad day. If you can't read this on the Minnesota Goodbye, that's okay. I'm just at a crossroads right
now. Your advice would mean the world to me. I'm your biggest fan and never miss a show. I would say, I don't know the exact answer to this, because they are your babies, So it's just you can't take care of them for a month, and maybe I don't know that you can. Maybe you can't afford someone to watch them for a month. Cats are pretty easy to take care of. I don't know if you have anyone that you could ask to watch them. That's asking a lot if someone,
I get it. But Mike, I am curious. Are you keeping your place during that time, like your apartment or your house. Maybe there's someone if you reached out to. I don't know where you adopted them. If you adopted them from someone, maybe they have a foster that would be willing to keep them. For a month. I don't know the answer because I don't know what the options actually are. Yeah, like if she has relatives that could maybe just help out because they care for her and they want her
to like get the help she needs. So somebody might do it that you're close to out of the kindness of their heart because they want better for you,
and I would get that you don't want to surrender them. So I'm not one hundred percent sure, but maybe someone listening will have some advice on like a place you could like have them go for a month in this situation, because if you think about it, there are people that go into like the hospital and they're very longer than they need to be, and people usually family members have to figure out what to do with the animal, but that's not always the case. So I'll let you know if we hear anything.
So emails if you know a solution for her, And I wish you so much luck, because I guess luck isn't what you need, but I don't know, send send it in some hugs and some warm thoughts because it sounds like you've been trying and you've been struggling, so I know that that obviously addiction is real, and so I'm sorry you're going through that. Okay,
next email, good morning. Heard you talk about destination weddings. Yes they are expensive, Yes your vacation destination is chosen, but they are so fun. One else are you on vacation out a resort with a ton of your friends? Best vacation I've ever taken. If a person can swing the cost, go have a good weekend. And then she attached a photo of their destination and it looks like a ton of people by. I don't know where you are, but it does look by. Emotionally, it looks like some
kind of lagoon. Okay, but maybe it's I'm making that word out. I think I've only ever been invited to one destination wedding, and it was a smaller group of people, but it was someone that I wasn't as close with, like I had used to be close with the couple and had kind of lost touch in like the years prior to their marriage. So I didn't end up going, but I heard it was amazing, Like I just I wasn't close enough for me to want to spend the money to travel. All
of my friends weddings have been destination weddings. Because you live in Minnesota. Yeah, I was gonna say immediately. So all of my destination weddings have been Indiana, Ohio. I mean I did go out to Reno for one.
I mean just beautiful destination weddings. The one wedding I wanted more than anything of my friends was my college roommate Ian Too married my high school friend Jake, and they decided to just go get married in the mountains of Colorado and took beautiful wedding photos, just the two of them in a canoe in the middle of a lake in the mountains, and it was absolutely gorgeous.
I told them how selfish they were to not have that wedding because it would have been both my high school friends and my college friends and it would have been the best wedding ever for me. And they just decided to do a small thing. So, you guys, I'm just getting I love them. I was invited to the one Jake went to last year at Telly Ride in Colorado. Yeah, and from what I hear, that is like one of
the most beautiful places you can go, but children are not allowed. So I didn't go because I could have gotten a babysitter, but I would have had to take I think four days off of work, and I'm like, no, it's not an easy travel to Telerid either. And it's yeah, Jake had to take like two flights because you would do like a smaller flight when'd you get to Colorado. But my favorite part was the elevation was so intense. Jake was winded the entire time. He like he couldn't even just
like walk without being winded. Yeah, and I think that. I think elevation like that makes me sick, so I don't think it would have been good. Well, yeah, I mean there's elevation sickness. I had that once in Colorado on a snowboarding trip, and so I prepared for the next time I overly hydrated, I got elevation sickness pills that I think healthed or maybe it was just a placebo effect and maybe it made me believe it was
helping elevation. Do you think I'll need elevation sickness pills for like Switzerland? You might if you're doing some of the mountain stuff. Well, I do want to go to the Get ready for me to pronounce that the jung Frau Young Frau region the top of the world. I don't know how's it spelled jayu and gee f r auch maybe young frow. Okay, I think I know what you're talking about. That it's like the top of there's like a it's like technically the top of the world or something. I mean, is
that right though? Isn't Mount Everest the highest point in the world. Hold on cool? Someone who knows something about something is listening and they are hitting their head. Are a bunch of idiots. It's like the world you can visits, like in terms of elevation. Are we talking about or are we talking about like longitude latitude situations? Like I fucking probably not any It's not probably not even close. It's literally probably like a catch like a slogan they
created. Hold on jung j u n g f r au It's a famous mountain region of the Bernie's Alps located I don't know, Jenny, lemme alone, Okay, well what are you doing at this place? You take a train up? I was like, and you have to are not train a cable car and you have to and it goes way up. And I actually got a great hot tip from a woman who listens to our show. Shout
out Susan. She said, don't book your tickets in advance on that cable car because you want to check to see how clear it is, because you could pay for an advance and go and then it's not clear, and then you wasted all this money. And I was like, oh my god, I would I am a buy tickets an advanced person like I've for Paris. I've bought, I bought. I'm actually going to the Loop finally. I've only ever gone to the outside of it, but apparently every one of my
group wants to pay the fucking money to go inside that. Oh my god, I thought that you had been inside of it before. I didn't know that you haven't. No, I'm I did. I've done the Cheap Girl's Journey to Paris where I stand outside with a really cool glass like pyramid, got my pick, he signed it, and then Tina and I went to the next spot. But I guess I'm going to see the mona, Lisa. I am just not a museum person. I'm going to two museum I
am absolutely not. Like I have tried. I get bored. I tried to read the plaques of the information I get bored after two sentences, and I'm just am out like I'm not. I can admire like the artistry of things, and especially like that museum, but it's just not something I would ever choose to do. I want to be outdoors. I want fresh air, I want to see things like well, we will be doing only outdoors in Switzerland, right it's a very quick trip of one week where we're splitting
in half, and we're doing the first half in Switzerland. It's going to be We rented a car, even though it is known for its train systems. Don't even give me crap. I don't know what I'm doing. I'm just winging it. But someone that listens to the show has been multiple times she said, do a car, because then you can stop when you're like, oh, that's beautiful. So is it going to be the worst decision in my life. We'll find out. But that's gonna be all outdoorsy hiking.
And so I don't know if you know this, but so this is my hot tip. And if you know it, then I get that I sound stupid. If you type in a place on Instagram, I know you can do it on Snapchat, but I didn't realize you could do it on Instagram until somewhat recent If you type in a place, you can literally watch stories from that place that people have tagged. Oh yeah. So I have been watching endless stories on Switzerland and Paris trying to get a feel for the
weather. And I'll be honest, it's looked really rainy and cloudy and kind of dreary in a lot of areas. So I'm really hoping Jake's like fallon a weather can change drastically in two weeks, so I'm really hoping. But it's not too cold, even except for the higher elevation spots still have snow, which we're not going to ton of those because I'm not skiing the Alps clearly, but I don't know. I'm We got tickets to like two museums
in Paris, though, and I've never done a museum there. So now that I'm an artiste, Jenny, you're talking about yourself, now that I'm an artiste, I only wanted to go to one museum. I wanted to go to muse Dorsay, which is the impression has all the Impressionist art art like money, But Jake wanted to go to move and I asked my niece, do you care. I'm not asking my nephew anything. He's eighteen. He doesn't care. I asked my niece and she's like, I love art.
I want to go to all the museums. And I was like, ah, so you're sign up for two? Yeah. Do you have any other tips for me for Paris? Johnny? No, I don't have tips. But it's interesting you're saying. You're saying how much you've been like obsessing over looking at these stories of places and seeing what it's like and stuff. So that's where Andrew and I are so different when it comes to trip stuff. Like he goes to read it and find some like information about something,
and that's what he does. But I want to visually see it, and I'll try to show him something. He'd be like, no, I don't want to see it until I'm there. You're like ruining and the surprise. Like he doesn't want to go look ahead, and I'm like, when i's how you plan to where you go? Right? For me for the most part, yeah, but he just like looks at Reddit like, Hey, what's a good restaurant in this town that has a view of the ocean or
something? You know, like that's what he does. And I'm the one who's obsessively looking at every Instagram post I can find to be like, oh, this is the most beautiful hike of like the three I was recommended. I definitely want to do this one. And for him, I'll try to show him things here and there that I've planned and he's like, no, I don't want to see it like I want to see it in person. I will say this, I told my therapist the other day, I've changed
a little bit how I maybe I talked about this on the podcast. I might have talked about this with you, so sorry if I'm repeating it. I am more intrigued by outdoor vacations now than I ever have been in my whole life. And I said, I think it's coming with age with me where I'm appreciating. I don't care about getting a picture somewhere anymore. I want to get a picture of something if i've it, because it's so beautiful, right, But I don't. I'm not going to Paris and holding a
fucking bagette on the street corner like for a picture anymore. If I'm eating a bagette, it will be in the photo and I will probably be throat deep with it. But I used to pick a lot of locations based solely on I'm like, oh, I could take an Instagram picture here. I still want to take pictures in like beautiful places I've seen, but I care
more about outdoor stuff. And I know this because I was like, oh, because I follow the National Parks on Instagram, and I was like, Jake, there's like a week in the Smoky Mountains where they all the lightning bugs come out. We got to go see that before we die. And I was like, who am I? This is not something I would have ever wanted to do before. And I was like, I think it's like with age, I'm appreciating Earth's beauty more well that and just like, okay,
so Andrew always says that people's people change every seven years. Okay, and so I was the same where yeah, I would when I was in my mid twenties or something i'd cared about like getting an Instagram pick and stuff like, but I think that that also has evolved anyways with social media,
so that's not as important. And you can get a beautiful picture anywhere, like people like the gen Zers take a picture in front of a graffiti wall that was nothing special and that's like a cool picture now, you know. But I think with age it's changed. I think you also date someone who likes to do outdoorsy stuff, or date someone are married to someone. I'm
weird dating filthy dating as well. But I saw a drastic change in what I was interested in as well, because I think I've always been interested in outdoorsy stuff, but I wasn't surrounded by people who did that. So when Andrew and I started dating, now that's my obsession too, is snowboarding. I am love snowboarding trips. Now people think like you said, one day, you're like, god, you went for five days straight snowboarding, Like
doesn't that get old? And I would have thought the same thing like four years ago, But now I love it so much and it's like such a hobby to me that I love to do that and I like to be at doors. But then also outside of that, the trip I'm looking at literally is based on doing this hike called Trolltunga in Norway. Like I want to go to Norway because I found this hike, and then all the other little things that come with Norway. I like researched afterwards and that's like not probably
happening in the next year or so. But I was like, who am I I'm like planning a trip based off doing this Trolltunga hike. Like it's just it changed so much for me, I think with Andrew's influence, but also he brought it out of me. Like I think I always was interested in that, but I just didn't have people that did stuff like that. My family we went to the Dolls and we went to Disney twice. Yeah, we went to Florida a couple of times, but we never went to
even like I don't think I think we went to State Park. Clifty Falls is the one where I'm at. I think we went to that because my aunt Ginay worked at it. Maybe, I mean we just we did not do outdoorsy things, which is weird because my dad grew up on a farm. Yeah he has a farm. Yeah, I don't know. It's resting, and part of me is like, you know what's funny Jake is he
loved the outdoors, but he's not really that outdoorsy. And I don't know if it's because he's with me or I mean, he can do all the things, but like he's not like every week and like, all right, I gotta go for a hike or something. He's just down to do whatever. Oh yeah, so I don't know. But um, anyway, I'm going to the Top of the World at Young Frau in Switzerland in case you're wondering. I can't wait to see the top of the world. I am
summiting it. You are not subboding shit. Get out of here. You are so funny. I am summiting it. Yeah right, I'm gonna call the episode. You're not summiting shit, added shit obviously. All right, that's it. Okay, how long we've been talking? Seventeen minutes almost, Yeah, shut us out. Shot them up. Love you by
