Season 4 Ep 22: The one with all the apologies

Rheannon  0:00  
We are going finally Tamara has passed her health check. She no longer has a sound STD

Tamara  0:08  
I've never had such a hard joining and honestly the only thing is that I changed what I unplugged my phone from my computer so that it stopped trying to update my phone.

Rheannon  0:22  
That was a good move I would have advised you of doing that because obviously I'm such sound technical support.

Unknown Speaker  0:28  
Best technical support.

Rheannon  0:44  
nakedness How was the nakedness?

Unknown Speaker  0:49  
Great, it was so good. It was like it was gonna be weird. Okay, and like just for like a preface. If this is your first time listening to downhill fast. Last week, we talked about how I was gonna go to a naked spa. I have muscle tension headaches and massages help me not have migraines. So like, Am I you might hear spa, but really like it was for it was for good cause and this place was great because they had temperature checks on the way in it was such a reduced capacity that I was in like by myself and room all the time. It was great. Had a great time. But it was it was like ripping off a band aid. You were like in your robe. And then once you were like out of your robe. It was like Okay, great. I'm like naked to flap in a lab or a flap in. Yeah, I was like, like by myself in a hot tub. And okay, it was fine. It was fine. So no awkward. I

Tamara  1:49  
can't I contact with another naked person. No, I

Unknown Speaker  1:52  
was by myself. The only time anybody even talked to me, was from across the room. Someone asked me what time it was. Because they weren't wearing their glasses. It was an older girl not wearing her glasses. Couldn't see the clock. I wasn't wearing my glasses, but I could still read it. It was four o'clock. So I told them and they said thank you. And that was the only social

Rheannon  2:15  
I lost. Yeah. Hey, and still don't have your back naked girl asked you. She wasn't wearing her glasses. That's where you cut out. Anyhow, was she naked as well? Oh,

Tamara  2:30  
yes. No. Oh, everybody was naked.

Rheannon  2:33  
Oh, wait. So it was like a communal massage room? What's going on here? Okay, okay. Okay.

Tamara  2:38  
So you walk in, you get your temperature check, do you like check in? Then they're like, Okay, great. Your massage is gonna be at this time. Feel free to like, go into one of the hot rooms, or go into one of the

Rheannon  2:51  
naked,

Unknown Speaker  2:52  
yet naked. Or go into one of the hot rooms, which is like saunas like a dry sauna. Or go into one of the hot tubs and I was like, Okay, great. So when I got naked, then went and like, rinsed off showered, because that's what they told you to do. And then I picked hot tub or sauna. And I was like, hot tub. So I went the hot tub by myself. And that's when the old woman was like older woman. I feel bad.

Rheannon  3:23  
Okay.

Unknown Speaker  3:25  
Let me give you more of a breakdown. So the room is 20 feet by like 60 feet, right? There's like four hot tubs, a cold tub, two saunas. Okay, and then you can get a scrub. So I was in a hot tub by myself because you could only be in the hot tub by yourself. That Yeah, because of reduced capacity. So since you have to be six feet away from people, the hot tubs only eight feet by eight feet. It was like me by myself. But then the old woman I think was on her way to Asana. So she was walking like 10 feet away from me on her way to the sauna but couldn't see the clock. So then I told her that it was four o'clock because I'm so helpful.

Unknown Speaker  4:09  
But

Unknown Speaker  4:11  
there was one person in a different hot tub. She went on to a sauna. And then there was like one person in a room adjacent getting like seaweed scrub or rap or some such something and then I went and I got my massage after the soap. Wow,

Rheannon  4:32  
okay, all right. See, I just cut out and I thought the lady was creepily standing in the corner of the room asking her what time it is wall naked while not in the hot tub. It was just a weird thing. Thanks for peeking, piecing it together. So would you do it again?

Unknown Speaker  4:45  
Should I yes, I would 100% do it again. in a heartbeat you do it to guess I would love to go again. I'm excited for COVID to be over and there could be like more people because I would like invite my mom would like, go again with people even naked? naked? Yeah. Okay.

Rheannon  5:06  
All right. Okay. All right. Okay.

Unknown Speaker  5:10  
It's a little bit like, you know, my eyes are up here. But like, you know,

Unknown Speaker  5:17  
I think it's fine. And like, the place is cool. A lot of the cool parts are like shut down like they have like tea rooms. So you could like go and have tea or Hakan food. That's not open right now. I think at that point, you could either be completely naked, but I think most people would like

Rheannon  5:36  
they would serve you food. Well, Nick, and

Unknown Speaker  5:40  
I don't know. I don't know. It's a lady's like it was wild, man.

Unknown Speaker  5:48  
But yeah, but my massage was so good, cuz it was an 18 minute massage instead of an hour massage. And that 20 minutes makes us as a massage therapist.

Rheannon  5:56  
It fucking kills your hands, though. So fuck you. And the horse she wrote in on well, it worked well, and because that person for weeks, so well, I

Unknown Speaker  6:06  
asked how? Because I told him like, I don't like a lot of pressure. I'm kind of a weak Oh. Do you think I was and they're like, you were so tight. And I was like, thank you. And I was like, on a scale of one to 10 how much pressure would you say you use? Because again, I'd asked you to go gentle. And so when I asked them Then how? So when I asked her how hard she used for pressure, because I'm such a weenie? She said three out of 10

Rheannon  6:36  
Wow. So it wasn't hard work at all. Her hands aren't sore. No, no, I

Unknown Speaker  6:41  
think I was like, you know, almost like a break. Yeah.

Rheannon  6:45  
Yeah. Interesting.

Unknown Speaker  6:47  
But, but my back feels better. I haven't had a massage or I haven't had a migraine since so all in all, I think it was well worth it. And I would happily go back. Nice. Nice.

Rheannon  6:59  
I think I've caught your migraines now. I get them. sinus headaches. Yeah, that's bad. Come on, all the sudden. Here we fucking go for the third fucking time I don't even know I don't even know. And I I was hassling you, because it was your internet. And turns out it might be our fucking starlink. So there's that. Now Ching. Appreciate,

Unknown Speaker  7:22  
can I get a quick, quick, quick tour of the current downstairs living room cuz it's empty. There's no couch. Why we're having our new couch delivered tomorrow.

Rheannon  7:35  
So not only did I make you move, but you have to sit on the floor.

Unknown Speaker  7:40  
I'm now sitting on the floor.

Rheannon  7:42  
I have a living room that looks similar because I leave tomorrow at noon to go pick up my pool table in my foosball table.

Unknown Speaker  7:51  
That's gonna be so dope, man.

Rheannon  7:53  
We got to fucking go to bend oregon. So we're gonna go like I took out that second half of the day off like, and then we already got dinner planned out. And then we're going to do a sampler for two different restaurants and then we're going to have breakfast in the morning and then we're going to go load the pool table and then I'm going to pick up my foosball table, and it's just magical. It's going to be a magical day.

Unknown Speaker  8:12  
I love Bend Oregon. That's one of the places we would go for like summer vacations, whitewater rafting and horseback riding. I love Bend Oregon.

Rheannon  8:20  
I've only ever driven through it but my brother who's you know, an export lender says it's amazing. And we cuz I was like gonna try to do a one day trip was like a 12 hour round trip. And he's like, No, no, no, we got to go stay the night and we got to plan our meals because you go there to eat and I'm like, well, well, I just won't talk to him for a day and a half. That'll be fine.

Unknown Speaker  8:41  
Are you gonna bring the trailer with you and just load up everything in the toy hauler or are you taking the truck

Rheannon  8:48  
like what's your What do you know? We're taking the truck in the toy hauler and I thought about taking the other trailer but we're going for a night and I like to sleep on memory foam. And so

Unknown Speaker  8:58  
nice toy hauler.

Rheannon  9:01  
In fact, they just screwed some, like wall fasteners into the wall. I made two holes that I probably shouldn't have. But we'll see if my wife finds them. I don't know. And so

Unknown Speaker  9:13  
she won't pick and listen to this.

Rheannon  9:14  
I know I'm ready to like haul a fucking pool table and she's stoked my niece's are stoked. Yeah, yeah, I think so fun. I think I might I don't know. I can't predict but I think I might be getting a record player for my birthday.

Unknown Speaker  9:29  
Yeah, yeah. So

Rheannon  9:31  
some hotboxing not with the kids there but some hotboxing in pool. Fuck yeah.

Unknown Speaker  9:36  
That sounds awesome, buddy.

Rheannon  9:38  
Yeah. So do

Unknown Speaker  9:39  
you want to attempt the spa story? to have it less editing for the violife later? Yeah, let's read all you

Unknown Speaker  9:50  
about it.

Rheannon  9:52  
So I'm really anxious to hear about your nakedness. Yeah, it sounds weird. I should

Unknown Speaker  10:00  
That is a doozy.

Rheannon  10:01  
You good? What's going on?

Unknown Speaker  10:03  
My laptop went to sleep. Oh, good. Okay, um, so many issues this story of my life was going downhill fast. And podcasting. So yeah, so it was cool because we got a basically, there's so few people that it was like one person I'll have to one person in the hot sauna, which I don't like a hot sauna, a wet sauna because I'm always afraid that I'm gonna, like get trapped in there. And then that's how I die.

Rheannon  10:32  
Right? No, because you had the childhood trauma that's exactly on dad's watch. See, I feel bad that it happened on dad's watch, but I do remember the story.

Unknown Speaker  10:41  
It's memorable. downhill.

Rheannon  10:44  
Yeah, and the one and for some reason, I haven't married in my mind with you taking like bank snow corners in a yard. unsupervised. I don't know. I just remember. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. So see, I pay attention. My childhood

Unknown Speaker  10:59  
you remember all the things? But yeah, but I was that it was gonna be awful. But like hardly people even like, talk to you. There is that real good. Like, just like the you know, real clear, either eye contact, or just like mind your business just like mind your business in your own space. And they have these like hot rooms, which you could like go in by yourself. And you were supposed to be like, quiet and like Zen. And I was like, Okay, cool. And the room square. Like this room is like 150 degrees. And I was like,

Rheannon  11:34  
fuck me. That's hot,

Unknown Speaker  11:36  
dry heat. So like it just

Rheannon  11:40  
so like so hot. But it

Unknown Speaker  11:42  
was cool cuz the floor was like sand. Cuz you wouldn't naked naked? You wouldn't. But at that point, I was in a robe. I wasn't just like walking around. Like, here. I am quite like that.

Rheannon  11:56  
was hiding and tight the right advice?

Unknown Speaker  11:58  
I believe so. No one commented. And I'm pretty confident that no one actually looked at my lady. But so then it's like, why did I even bother grooming?

Unknown Speaker  12:09  
You know what I mean? Like,

Unknown Speaker  12:11  
but I didn't get I didn't feel judged. I didn't feel you know, people would be like, God, why are you naked? You know, I didn't feel any of that. And the massage was great that 80 minute massage is a game changer. Yeah, you know, just when you think it's gonna end,

Rheannon  12:28  
it keeps going. And as an ex massage therapist, I'm like, I think her hands She must have hated you. You had to have tipped her well, but then you were telling me that on a scale of like one to 10 she was working in the three range, which means like your lunch break. That sounds weird. No,

Unknown Speaker  12:46  
yes, that is all true. And I like feel bad because I get muscle tension headaches. It's why I like to go see them. As soon as I'm in. I haven't had a migraine since I went and got my massage. And I do think that having the soak before the massage definitely helped just loosen up my muscles and help like, more of like work to be done because you have to like warm up my muscles to then massage them. They were just I was all warm because I'd been in the hot tub and then a hot room. So it was great. But yeah, but I had asked cuz I was like, I'm kind of a weenie. I'm sorry. And they're like, No, no, no, like, you know, you can still do a lot of like really good work, even when it's like less pressure. And I was like, you know, she just had to tell me,

Unknown Speaker  13:24  
like make me feel better.

Unknown Speaker  13:27  
But I asked I was like so you said gentler. pressure. Is that like a one out of 10? Like No, no, no. You know, like, cuz there's one time that they like got like some type of nerve on the side of my leg and my whole leg like Spats. Oh shit. And they're like, Oh, yeah, that's that seems maybe sore. And I was like, yeah, in my head. I didn't I'm not a talker during massages. So in my head. I was like, yo, but they luckily didn't try and go back to that Eric because it was sore it to her. Come. But ya know, I would 100% go back. It'd be fun to like, take like my mom. I don't know if that's weird. But I would be I would even go with like other people.

Rheannon  14:07  
I think I was blessed to go with your mom. She's seen you naked. She's wipe your ass. Like you've come out of parts of her like it makes sense.

Unknown Speaker  14:26  
In her body.

Rheannon  14:29  
Say it like that.

Unknown Speaker  14:34  
So personal. say like that.

Rheannon  14:37  
I mean, but Oh, so yeah.

Unknown Speaker  14:44  
Oh, yeah, sorry. I just got our reminder from my roommate you just walked by. The next time I go I want to try and get a some type of scrub, full body scrub. Okay, who's doing what?

Rheannon  14:58  
Who's doing the scrubbing? It's my question.

Unknown Speaker  15:00  
I think I think they scrub my whole body, I think is how it goes.

Unknown Speaker  15:04  
Hi,

Rheannon  15:05  
I'm an ex massage therapist, and I don't like being touched like, I would be like cam. They're gonna.

Unknown Speaker  15:11  
They're gonna try and scrub my butthole

Rheannon  15:12  
Okay, all right. I have no advice. I have no advice. In that area. You're

Unknown Speaker  15:19  
on your own.

Rheannon  15:20  
I hear people bleach. I don't know. Like,

Unknown Speaker  15:23  
I had no idea that bubble was part of it.

Rheannon  15:29  
Are they using the utensil? Or is it just like their hands up in there?

Unknown Speaker  15:34  
every nook and cranny. Do you think they'll use a tool? Or do you think it's a hands on? They have a mitt on their hands?

Rheannon  15:42  
Yeah, no, still.

Unknown Speaker  15:43  
I'm getting. I'm getting this visual from my roommate.

Rheannon  15:48  
Oh, no, no, no.

Unknown Speaker  15:52  
No.

Unknown Speaker  15:52  
Oh,

Unknown Speaker  15:53  
yeah. Thanks for me. I've totally forgot about that part. Because apparently you're supposed to get like all the dead skin off your whole body.

Rheannon  16:01  
Yeah, my my ass cracks out of like, no

like, I'm a big ass like, go

and have at it. But not in the ass crack. Like, that's no man's land, like fuck off. I,

Tamara  16:15  
I would have to I would have to have some questions about that before I would have not

Rheannon  16:23  
run out of the wall while you ask those questions, excuse me? Do fingers stray? Like what happens if you're really aggressively getting dead skin and like, something enters my body? Like, I want to be there for those questions. That is a dream come true. Okay,

Tamara  16:42  
but you have to ask those questions before you commit.

Rheannon  16:44  
Because you don't have they're not going to go murdering your body because that would be a different kind of charge. And probably the fact that they're willing to rub your

Tamara  16:54  
ass crack is a little bit of a gray area for me. What do you think they do when they bleach your asshole?

Rheannon  17:01  
Who I don't? I'm not interested in either. So I don't really know. I don't really know. But I'm sure I'm sure my wife is familiar. And I'll ask her.

Tamara  17:12  
You're gonna write us cinnamon and you report back?

Rheannon  17:14  
Yeah,

Tamara  17:17  
I will. I'll keep you posted. But as far as the massage and the soap, I would happily go back.

Rheannon  17:22  
Yeah, it was great. We had a great time. And then you had somebody that was naked that was standing creepily in the corner of the room while you're in the hot tub asked you for the time. That's what I remember from the first version of this.

Unknown Speaker  17:33  
No, no, no, there was that was just like the one time because it was hard because I took my glasses off. But there was an older gal who did ask me what time it was. And I politely told them, but I think I was in the hot tub. And it was like No, like icontact was like, you know, it was a very respected, respectable situation. And I did just tell her what time it was, but it was like pretty much like everybody just kind of like minded their own business. So yeah, it wasn't it didn't feel creepy at all. That's good. I'm proud of you. Thank

Rheannon  18:03  
you for doing it for the pod. I'm really like, interested in the second version of this. No, the version the x craft exfoliation episode. I think that's gonna be a winner. I think

Tamara  18:21  
I mean, I I mean, I'm I'm cautious. I'll have to do more fact finding information.

The the butthole

could be a deal breaker. I'm unsure I don't I don't want to be non committal. I will need more information before I can decide what is happening to my body. But all in all, great time. And great massage and I feel like a million bucks. So yeah, no complaints. Yeah. But But yeah, I feel um, did you go ahead and did you tell the people that I why I'm currently sitting on the floor? I thought we had at the beginning has already happened. Okay, great. I was just gonna take a picture to like document this and I just want to make sure that we talked about it before I

Rheannon  19:14  
yeah, so hey, I'm no longer on my Facebook cleanse. Although I have the feed of anything great. This episode now I'm gonna lose my voice. This is just everything for our listeners. You're welcome. And so anyhow, I'm no longer on my Facebook cleanse because I'm actively buying a pool table and a foosball table and a ping pong top. And so I had to sell my soul back to the devil. I have not sorted through my feed. But I think my wife is actively looking forward to my purchasing of these things because then I will then abstain from Facebook again. Because on a whim I almost bought another hot tub.

Unknown Speaker  19:51  
Why?

Rheannon  19:52  
me like I was fucking crazy because our bathroom is like half done. Well like half the floor is half done. We took up derailment towards the pool table and foosball table and ping pong situation. And then I almost threw in a hot tub in my life where it rarely looks at me like I'm crazy. But in that moment, she's like, I'm sorry. So what? She, so she's excited. No longer be on Facebook marketplace again.

Unknown Speaker  20:21  
Real quick question, though. My understanding when you are buying things up to the Facebook place that you don't, that doesn't take the same amount of time as remodeling a bathroom. So like, how is it a trade off of one or the other? Because a whole bunch of money?

Rheannon  20:46  
Yeah, half weekend and like some of our bathroom budget to go get the pool table and the foosball table, and ping pong. So that's a solid choice. But then I almost bought a hot tub, which meant his time. And then I didn't have time and I was overwhelmed by the last hot tub project. And this is true. Yeah. And she, she laid down a lot. The bathtub, the bathroom gets done. And her kitchen drywall too. So

Tamara  21:12  
okay, so wait, wait, wait, wait. So you're telling me that you almost threw in a hot tub. But now you did it. But now you're okay. I'm sorry. Cat is losing its money. Can I just show you real quick? See if she runs back in here like a goddamn crazy person. Oh, no, now she's gonna act all calm and cool and collected.

Rheannon  21:34  
Thanks. Um,

Tamara  21:36  
so let's just, we'll see. Um, so, uh, you're procuring all of these things. And you just almost kind of went on like a bending.

Rheannon  21:51  
I went on a I almost went on all 10 tangent to my tangent. And she called me. She called me on it.

Tamara  21:59  
What kind of hot tub would you have gotten? What is it been like a similar one of like, needs work? Or like all good to go? No. Well,

Rheannon  22:06  
they said it ran but it was in that cheaper range as in you come pick it up. Yours. And yeah, I've never seen her look at me like I had lost a marble. But that was the first time. So there was that? Oh,

Tamara  22:19  
that's fair. That's fair. Yeah. And I support I support. I support the tangent to tangent. Yeah. Cuz, you know, I love a hot tub. Yeah, rocking behind the hot tub. But

Rheannon  22:42  
I like I'm just watching a cat. Okay, I know. So why are you getting a new couch? What happened? What happened to the old couch?

Tamara  22:49  
Oh, nothing happened. The

old couch. We're just upgrading. So we used to have where I'm sitting. One couch where I'm sitting against the this wall of windows. And then there was two very nice chairs, one there and one there that were accent chairs. And they're like mid century modern. And it's like a blue like velvet. Yeah. And so that used to be over there. But then when we're like watching TV or watching movies, it's like two people can sit on the couch. But because the TV was angled over there, you really couldn't get like three people comfortable on the couch. So one person had to sit in the chairs and then it was just that it's hard to have like a blanket with the foot rest. It was just like a whole thing. So then my roommates decided, Okay, that's me dropping my laptop. Then my roommates decided that they wanted to upgrade to a larger sectional. So it's going to be an L shaped couch with a chase. So it effectively is going to be like a U shape. So then that whole U shape is going to go like right there. And then it'll be looking at the TV. It'll be looking at the TV and the fireplace which Ooh, fire Have

Rheannon  24:04  
you fixed the fireplace issue has it done anything again?

Tamara  24:08  
The fireplace has not smoked like it did that one time. So it's been fine all it's been like I would say mostly fixed

Rheannon  24:16  
mostly fix Cool, cool.

Tamara  24:19  
So you know, no, no problems. But then that meant that then the chairs went upstairs and then the table got turned and the TV stand got moved up. So we just like totally rearranged the whole downstairs and like made it sitting room upstairs. is quite fancy if I say so tomorrow the couch is new couch is being dropped off between like 3pm and 6pm which is kind of a bummer that it's so late in the day but we will get a new couch tomorrow. So I'm currently sitting on the floor where the couch will go tomorrow. Cool but it is I think the cats are enjoying the wide open Living room because they can just like run bucking and that's what currently is happening which is why you are currently staring at a cat. A cat just running around like desert all over the living room. She

Rheannon  25:12  
got rather excited about the angels scrub. Let's just put it that way.

Tamara  25:16  
It might have been the animal scrub to that to get her excited. I mean, cats be cats. Am

Rheannon  25:20  
I right? Yeah.

Unknown Speaker  25:22  
Yeah.

Unknown Speaker  25:25  
Yeah, but um Oh,

Rheannon  25:26  
I have a an admission to how many days you lost? Yikes. Um,

Tamara  25:33  
I don't want to be crazy, but I've only worked out three times this week. Yes, there is a fucking Yes, yes. And it might only be three.

Rheannon  25:42  
One water day yesterday. Because I was feeling really shitty. So but now I get to go back to 40 ounces. So that's what I what here's

Tamara  25:53  
the thing is my weeks not over. I'm planning on

Rheannon  25:57  
Thursday to Thursday.

Tamara  25:59  
It's Thursday to Thursday.

Rheannon  26:03  
Now are tricking me

into drinking more water than my body fucking wants to drink

Unknown Speaker  26:08  
and telling you water is good for you.

Rheannon  26:11  
I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. Oh my fucking god. Tamra just unplugged her router. And now we are like stutter starting for the fourth fucking time. And this time truly was not my fault. I just want to go on record. Most of the other times were likely my fault. Also, my assets. My office chairs are making my butt hurt. I don't know what's going on. But it's happening.

Unknown Speaker  26:36  
Maybe just a step further if you want to. But I just felt comfortable. And I unplugged the router with my butt.

Rheannon  26:48  
Yeah.

Wha

so we're gonna be brutally honest, this might be a shorter episode. Not that we haven't tried to podcast for 90 minutes. We have only successfully podcast for like 21. So you know, I'm not that we haven't tried for you guys. And yeah, it's all tamaraws fault. Like we had previously discussed.

Tamara  27:08  
I will give myself an A for effort. And maybe a D minus and execute it.

Oh my gosh. Yeah.

Was sincerely Yeah. Yeah. It's It's rough. But, uh, yes. Oh, you're getting a hot tub that you think is going to be so great. And then you're like, you know what? Talk to cinnamon cinnamon was like eye on the prize one thing at a time?

Rheannon  27:41  
Well, no, no, no. So what I do is I like see the listing. And then I show it to my wife because I'm no fool. And I showed it a listing and by her reaction, I was like, oh, okay, we're not doing this. We're not doing this. And she's like, Are you fucking nuts? And I'm like, Yeah, no, no, no, we're not doing this. Yeah, yeah. You know, check with your wife.

Unknown Speaker  28:05  
Story.

Tamara  28:06  
Um, how was your adventure teaching the youngest of the nieces?

Rheannon  28:13  
It was awesome. First off, that kid is so cool. And I I did not register that each one of my nieces. I'm starting younger. So I bought my eldest niece was just extremely gifted. She started skiing two years older than my middle niece and my youngest niece is skiing two years younger than my middle niece, which means it's harder to teach them. But my youngest niece is an animal she is it was so much fun. And so like, it was just it was amazing. She did so good. And she was so stoked. And we made her feel really special that weekend because she doesn't get to go up as much. And she's a skier. That's awesome. Yeah. And it was funny because like I am, I've done this thing. I don't know if it's because I'm older. I don't know what happened. But like, I give no fucks with other people think about me. So yeah, um, so what happened was, like, I I tell the girls to quack I'm like, quack, quack, quack. And so they'll shuffle their skis, and I quack with them. It's a game we quack to get on the magic carpet. We quack to get off the magic carpet. I quack like a motherfucker. And I don't realize that people are looking at me. And then like, when they do pizza, you know, I start them off like, so. What my brother went up this last weekend and he wasn't standing by me. But the first thing I do when I teach the kids ski is I'm like, Hey, what's the scariest thing that's gonna happen? And, and they're like, I don't know. And I'm like, the scariest part of skiing is falling down and then I push him down, because I want them to be okay. Falling down.

Tamara  29:51  
Yeah.

Rheannon  29:52  
And they laugh and I'm like, okay, your turn and then they fall down. But To the untrained eye, it looks like I might be slightly abusing a child. So, what I

Tamara  30:01  
wanted you to have them do is push you over as like revenge like, I'll coach you, you push me.

Rheannon  30:09  
I don't mean to brag, but I'm a fairly Sage skier. I can ski anywhere on the mountain. And but I now have a very healthy fear of the magic carpet. So here's what happened. I'm on it with my youngest niece, and they were having a mechanical issue to the point where, oh, every two feet. Oh, no, I swear I'm a motherfucking meme. Because what happened was, it was so miserable. I thought do I throw the child off to the magical ride and then laid out like, this is how bad it was. Because there was no way off and like, You're, you're in ski boots and like, it's really hard. You're on skis. And my legs were already fucking fried because I was on the bunny fucking Hill all day. And I started to panic. I'm like, I don't know what to do. So I told my niece, just sit down, lay down. So she is underneath my legs, laying face up with her skis, in her hands just back like she's fucking given up. I have to do a downward motherfucking dog to prevent me from falling over. my helmet falls off. I'm about ready to either pass out because my legs hurt so bad because he was like, 10 minutes jerking. And I thought I was so mad. I Oh, I was bad. Because it's like that's unexcusable. It shouldn't have been happening. It was a mechanical failure, but like, what do you do in those moments? And I swear, I really hope there's not a image of me doing downward dog with a four year old laying completely

Unknown Speaker  31:50  
would want a picture that's so bad. That is so comical. I mean, awful for you. I'm very sorry. But that sounds fucking hilarious.

Rheannon  31:57  
And every time we'd get back on it, and it start to lurch because she's like, in between my skis, you know, and I'm, she's like, I can hold on to her. And every time we would start to learn, she would be like, Oh, no, no, no. And I'm like, it's okay. I got you. Like, what? But I in mice? Like inside. I'm like,

strong for the children.

I did and I managed to but it was so cute. Like, but the thing is, is I've lost like, all worry about other people looking at me when I'm teaching these kids to ski. So all like yeah, like

that's our best

pizza ever. And she was doing so good. But this is where it got a little weird is because normally I take up Swedish Fish. And I positive reinforced because I learned this when I did agility with my dog. And apparently it works with children toward you know, when they do a good thing. You give them a candy. Hold on. Oh, we were a little less prepared this time. And I didn't have the sweetest fish. So I was up at the top of the mountain. I looked at her mom. I'm like, What do you think would be best? And she's like, just grab some m&ms. I was like, Alright, well, m&ms are really small. So what you have to do with a child that is completely decked out in snow gear, and fucking mittens is feed the child the m&ms will tell you. It's a little weird. I wanted to like throw them in her mouth. I couldn't like I had to actually place them in her mouth. Every time she did good thing on skis head. I'm like, Thank God we ran out of them. But like holy shit, and then my other nieces caught on and they're like, Hey, I just did this. I get an m&m. And I'm like yeah, sure. And like I was feeding all three of my nieces m&ms like they were a little fucking birds it was it was the weirdest thing I will never do that again.

Tamara  33:41  
little birds as an example as if you like put it in your mouth and then like,

Rheannon  33:46  
okay, that takes it to a weird level like I but it was like my youngest niece would take the m&m so daintily. Like I was like, come on, just. I don't know. I don't know. It was it was I regretted that. But it was so cool. She's so good at it. She doesn't know how to turn yet, but we didn't we didn't do that.

Tamara  34:05  
I am not surprised that she's a quick learner. She is a pretty sporty little kid and being the youngest of a sporty family like that doesn't surprise me that she's picking it up quicker. or doing a good job. But that sounds like so fun to take the littlest news and I mean all the nieces you took like a little whole fam. skin so that sounds super fun.

Rheannon  34:28  
Well, we just had to clean out the toy hauler because we're picking up the pool table. And normally we just leave the ski equipment in there all season and then transition at summer. But like I have a whole I have a room in my house. I have a closet in my house that houses all the ski equipment. And you'll never see it fall in the winter. But like everything's all like tuned in and awesome. And my ski classes just so full because it's no longer in the trailer and I look at it and I walk by and it just it makes me very happy. So yeah,

Tamara  34:54  
yeah, you're taking a weekend off skiing. Are you excited, maybe for a little bit of a break after after lunch.

Rheannon  35:00  
I mean, we normally ski every other weekend. So this was a break weekend to begin with. It's gonna be a little hard to take this weekend off, go to bed and then turn around and go next weekend back up to skiing. So we might be a little tired. We'll see I guess. jam packed

Tamara  35:13  
jam packed back to town. That's so great. Yeah, sounds like you had a really fun weekend. That's awesome. Yeah, that's awesome. I am trying to think if I did anything else fun the couch coming the new couch and super exciting. Oh my god, I tried a thing. I tried a thing. I thought it would be good. I thought it would be relaxing. It wasn't.

Rheannon  35:40  
We only did what are we doing? Cuz I would I mean, microdosing Let's do this. No,

Tamara  35:47  
I'm facemask. Um, I got a gift for Christmas that included like a like hand lotion and face masks and like a gift card.

Rheannon  36:01  
World. I'm like, Are you talking about the face masks we wear every day? No, no, no. You're talking about this shit that I don't like but go ahead.

Tamara  36:09  
Yeah, no, this was so crazy. So it was a face mask that I had never done. It was a peeling facemask aggressive. Thank you. I didn't know that. I thought I have actually done one. I was like, this would be so soothing. fuckin wasn't it wasn't. I put it on my face. And I immediately felt so sticky. I was like, this is a horrible idea. And then I had to wait for it to dry. And

Rheannon  36:34  
then panicky, right? Yes,

Tamara  36:37  
yes. I'm like, is this tingling normal? Is it burning my face off? What is happening? And then I tried to take it off. And they were like peel it, peel it off. And I looked like the goddamn mummy pulling off this face mask. And then it was actually quite soothing pulling it off. But then I took a picture of it and I like put it on Snapchat. I was like, oh look a face mask that was so relaxing. And a buddy of mine was like, that looks terrified. Like the things nightmares are made up because it just looked like skin. It looked like a pile of skin. It's and I hadn't thought about that initially when I had done it. And I don't want to say that I immediately regretted it. But I apologized. My friend was like I'm gonna only have nightmares. And I was like, sorry. But the good thing was it was Snapchat. So the picture didn't live very long. So I guess that was comforting. But I was like really thinking like, Oh, this will be so relaxing. Right before bed and it wasn't it was no part of it was relaxing. I don't want to say I regretted it. But I learned a lesson I learned a valuable lesson of what not to do. Right before bed because it wasn't it wasn't relaxing at all. But that was pretty much the the highlight. Oh, I have a favorite ask you. Okay. I have a favorite ask you. Okay, so I know this thing.

Rheannon  37:57  
If it's regarding, like, in regards to nakedness No,

Tamara  38:01  
no, I'm I'm sorry that your mind went there? Oh, sorry. Yeah, this this actually, this episode is gonna be called nothing about apologies. Your mind let there know so i Okay, so I saw thing on the internet. Maybe not helping. I saw a thing on the internet. And it was like,

Unknown Speaker  38:24  
oh, oh.

Tamara  38:26  
And it was like, a sale. It was like a sale from like, my favorite glasses place. And I was like,

Rheannon  38:33  
No, that's a that's a that's like a scam.

Tamara  38:39  
Okay, well, anyways, it was actually an email from the place that I buy my, my glasses from online. And it was like, sale 50% off. But it was a mystery pair. So it would have been that you basically just pay half price. And I'm pretty sure that they were just gonna, like, get rid of whatever they were trying to get rid of. Right, which honestly, smart marketing. But then I went and I clicked on it. And it had expired. The sale had ended the day before. I know I missed my window. Yes, no, thank you. So here's what I was thinking. I was actually like, really bummed like really bummed. And then I thought you know what? I have a friend named Marie in it. Yes, maybe she would help me. If I gave you my login to my online buy glasses place. And my credit card information is already plugged in there. You don't have to do anything. Would you randomly select a pair of glasses for me and like, don't be a jackass, like try and keep it under like 50 bucks. But like would you pick a lens because then it would like you would just like pick up my prescriptions. I'm not picking a lens. I'm picking frames, just frames because the prescription is already in there. my credit card information is already in there. My address is already in there. It'll just get shipped to me. I get the surprise in the mail of like mystery glasses. And you know, I've had these pair for, I don't know, like a year. And so like, I'm kind of ready to try something new.
