Transcript

Better late than never. It is. I'm still fun. Jenny and I do. What we do is we get together and we talk about all the real stuff that we can't talk about on the podcast. I do and catch up, and then we catch up in another real way. Don't worry, You're not being left out of all the gossip, just like a little bit that would get us probably fired, you know, because everyone has like workplace gossip of course, that you can't share with like you couldn't put it on

Facebook. And now that we don't see each other every single morning at six am and we don't have like the tea to give each other every morning, we have to catch up for thirty minutes before we can jump into the podcast when we report this. We did do. We did hang out Friday night because it was our company holiday party, which Jenny wasn't going to go to until she found out I was going, and then she felt stress, I think, and changed her plans. No, I wanted to go, but

I'm gonna call the company out here. They literally sent out the invite a week and a half ahead of time for our big company holiday party. And I had had this like laser treatment thing that I talked about I think last week. I had had it scheduled like in advance, and so I didn't want to rebook it because it was something where my face was going to be kind of funky for a few days, and it was a weekend I had free where I wasn't going to have to be around people, and I didn't

have many weekends free. But I was luckily able to get in the weekend before instead because they miraculously had it opening when I called them last minute to try my schedule. So that's the only reason I was like debating going, and then you said you were going, and I was like, well, I absolutely have to go then, because I just selfishly didn't want to reschedule my appointment. I had never been. It was like a place called Townhall

Brewery in Saint Paul. I had never been there. Minneapolis. That's Minneapolis. How is it Minneapolis. That's on the west bank of the U of M campus. I'm so confused. It was right across the street from Excel Energy Center. How many drinks did you have? Noah? Was it Townheal Brewering is literally in Cedar Riverside. I think you're seeing things. We were right by us Bank Stadium. You really aren't good at directions. We were

right. I thought we were right by Excel Energy Center at all. Not even sure, not even I will pull up the Google right now, go to Washington like I know that. I know. We went like the you know, the ninety four to two thirty three, like by the U. Yeah. No, we were on the west bank of campus of the UFM. Trust me, I did zombie pub crawls in that area and I was that were there. It's so weird. It's a weird intersection that like they

don't I don't know, they almost like define it. It is Cedar Riverside is the neighborhood, okay, And they almost define it like so differently than like once you start going down Washington and that's like more of the Guthrie area, and then you keep going further and that's North Sloop, So it's almost like it's its own little neighborhood, but it's practically still a part of all of that downtown Minaples area. Bizarre because since it's that part of Washington,

it's you know, like five miles away. It's not really five, it's like probably nine miles away from the radio station, but over a twenty minute drive because it's just like an annoying place to get to. There's no way to get to it without taking multiple roads or traffic anyway. Of course, it was like snowing and a little slick to get there, and and it was freezing. It was so cold. But this is like such a first

world problem. But we did this bathroom renovation a few years ago, and I'm going to tell you what the plumbing it is like uh like, and it's not me. I'm not would never trash the like company I did it through because it did such a lovely job, but we have had the worst plumbing issues because of it. Like that affects other areas in the house or like you it's just like a flat all the time mostly. Okay, So what happened is when we did our bathroom renovation, it's like our main bathroom,

primary bathroom. They had to we switched things around, so like the toilet room used to be on the right side of the room. Now it's on the left side of the room. So like some plumbing got switched around, so they you know, up in the ceiling and through the pipes.

They changed some HVAC, they changed some plumbing stuff, and for whatever reason, the way it's set up now, when it gets freezing cold outside, something freezes in the pipes and it like omits a sewer gas scent in our bathroom and the toilets will be super low with water, so when you flush it, it like kind of gurgles and then fills back up, and it is so frustrating because of course, you know, like one winter it was when my family's visiting, so our house smelled like sewer gas and it's we

had the plumber come back out and he ran hot water like for a long time and it went away, and they were like, it's probably this that's happening. It's not causing any real issues. So finally, like two years after, I was like, you're emailing that plumber and you're gonna basically, And so Jake did the most like I would never write an email like this. He was like, here are the dates that He literally was like, here are the dates that work for us, Tell me which one works for

you to come fix this. He didn't say, hey, we're having issues, could you blow Like no questions were at It was, here are the dates that work for us, Tell me which works for you to come fix this, and the guy was like, oh, this one works, and you had to wait till spring because there was really nothing you could do in the winter. So this last spring he came out redd stuff so that it

should be good. And now we're in freezing temperatures again and it's doing it again, and I'm so frustrated, and I'm like, haven't we reached the point where we can no longer contact this plumber? I mean, we had that renovation done like three years ago. Yeah, and I'm just so frustrated by it because I don't want to smell that. Yeah, I don't.

I don't, And I'm like, I don't know what else to do, and so I'm like, maybe I'll just call a different plumber because the guy that we had come out do our new water heater and stuff, it's not like this other guy doesn't know what he's doing, you know what I mean, Like he's a seasoned professional and he you know, he guessed, he

figured out what he thought the issue was. Doesn't matter, I like, so, but I'm just like so frustrated now that it's so freezing, and I that issue would be resolved and we spent so much money on that bathroom renovation. So for me to have this issue is just like I want to put my head through a wall. I mean, I think even the littlest of house issues, a lot of people can feel that way about it. But the fact that this is like a reoccurring situations, yeah, I can

imagine feeling the same way. Just a little frustrating. But we got a couple of emails speaking of like your laser things. She got your face. This one's more about laser hair moval, and I'm so sorry. I won't say your name because she says, don't use my name. But she said this in December and I totally forgot it. So she basically says she's happy with her in the podcast together. She loves listening to it. She said, I'm planning to get laser hair removal this spring or next, trying to

overlap with my palest skin and hair color contract. I know i want armpits and legs and bikini, but I'm not sure if I want full Brazilian with my entire undercarriage gone. However, I do appreciate a clean butt when I get a wax done. Is it weird to ask for bikini line and my butt is that a strange distinction? Will I regret not getting all my lady stuff gone at the same time? Also, should I go to a dermatology office or is a spa that he'spall location just as good. I want the

best lasers and I'd rather pay for a job well done. Here's another part, which I'll get to in a second, but we'll answer this first. It is not weird like I did, to ask for whatever you want. I'll I don't know if you'll regret not getting your full vagina, Like that's kind of a personal preference, so I have no idea. But when I did mine, I didn't do the full Brazilian to get the backside, and

I did regret that. So then I exactly like you got in my head and I'm like, this is so weird for me to just be like, can you just do my butt? Yeah? But they do, so don't feel weird. They do butt, They do everything. If they're already doing your vagina, your butt isn't any different, you know what I mean. So you can totally ask for specific things. Yeah, I was gonna say, I mean, I am doing everything for because I'm in my fifth treatment

coming up here and so I am doing everything down there. I'm only doing my pits in the lady area. My hair is too blonde on my legs to do anything else, so those are the only things. I would totally do. My legs though, oh my god, I hate shaving my legs with all of my heart. But I yeah, you gotta do what you

gotta do. Because I remember having a roommate in my early twenties and she had gotten laser hair removal when she was probably eighteen, and she was kind of like, yeah, I mean, we all wanted to be like bear as a baby's bottom. And now I think I'm regretting making that decision at such a young age. But I don't know. I've been shaven down there for years. I still do the same thing. So I'm doing all of

it. But you do, you, girl, whatever you feel like you want to do now, and if you change your mind in five years, ten years, twenty, change your mind, I don't know, and I don't know the answer to your question of who has the best lasers and what's been a dermatologist in an I went to Ideal Image. It was a radio partnership, so I didn't pay for it. It was like part of my deal because when we do an endorsement, they obviously want you to use the

products so you can talk about it with legitimacy. So I like, I just I liked them. I had a good experience. And Jenny goes to a different place. Yeah, and I go to the Metropolitan in a Dina, which is like a clinic more so that it's not a medi spa. Yeah, but I don't know the answer because I don't know what. I don't have the experience of going to a medi spa. So yeah, I don't know that one. I would guess at this point, and people are

gonna rip me. I imagine they're somewhat similar. Yeah, you know, I would think so too, because like ideal Image, it was like nurses were doing and they were people who actually had a medical license. So I don't know. I feel like that seems to be a requirement for most places. Yeah, but you could. I mean you start with online reviews. Yeah, I will say I have weird armpits. My armpits hair will not go away permanently. It's kind of ashy. Yeah, and so even though

it's dark, it's like an ashy gray color. I guess I don't know, and so it like my bikini. I have like a couple of random hairs that have come back but still mostly gone. My legs are saying, a couple of random hairs, but my armpits, it's they're so weird and they like, never have to shave your legs at all. Oh my god, I have a couple of so envious so that I'll never be able to do that. They don't have the technology for obviously the blonde hair to do

that. A couple of darker hairs like probably four on each inner thigh and maybe like one or two on like my shins that I have to like shave other than that, And I honestly don't even waltly shave them. I'm like, I'll see them at the beach. I'm like, oh, nasty, I should have gotten that. I think I'm rubbing my legs right now to say I'm about like five days out right now from shaving. But I usually go, like, especially in the winter, I would go like two weeks.

You might be able to see more blonde on my legs than I realize, but I don't care. I mean, I don't think so. I think I remember like looking sexually at your legs one time. I was like, look at the littles, a little thing, whitest, grossest, thickest, stumpiest shit legs ever. If you were looking at them sexually, then you were the horniest you've ever been in your life, probably with the most desperation ever. But I will say I remember not seeing any hair on them.

Okay, And I don't know why I was actually looking at your legs. Well, it's getting a little weird. I felt like you're like that. I'm like thrilling my hair right now, you are. It's working. I'm so tired. A second ps, I heard Jenny and Drake talking about the MLM pyramid scheme stuff on in Minnesota Goodbye. Have you guys watched the Lula Rowe documentary on Amazon Prime called Lula Rich I have? Yeah, I think I stopped. I'll be honest. I watched like a little bit of

it. I was interested, then I fell off. She says, it's so fascinating, and I binged all the episodes at once. I'm thirty six, so I don't remember hearing about the leggings growing up. I might be a few years too young, question mark. I also didn't know anyone doing those kinds of parties growing up, so maybe it wasn't on my radar. I remember when I first moved here, a really nice gal gifted me a

pair of Lula Row or whatever leggings. I think they had radios on them, but she never pressured me to like I'm sure if she would have loved me to publicize or promote or buy more, but she did never pressured me. She gave them to me. I remember them, I will be a hundred percent honest. They just were never my style anyway. Like I some people loved the designs I did. I never liked those designs, so I was just never drawn to it. I honestly, that was one of the

MLM schemes that never really came into my life. I didn't know anyone who was selling them or working for them, whatever, so I never I can't even picture what they look like right now. I heard I know the name, but I don't know what they are. They were like leggings that were supposed to fit like everybody side huh, and just had like crazy designs on them. Yeah, Okay, here is an email we got last week. I found in Jenny love to hear you guys are interested in pickleball. It's

honestly the best. A few things from your last podcast asked to comment on, So we did talk about. Jake and I did take an intro to pickball class on Saturday. We really liked it. It was a good workout and we were leaving the class and first of all these we I did mention I had the cheap brackets and I didn't care, and Jake got cheap ones that were better than the wooden ones. And when we got there, he looks at me, he goes, thank god, we didn't bring the wooden

ones. No one here has those. Can you imagine? And literally within three seconds, the instructor goes you too, and she made us use her personal rackets. She's like, you're gonna tell a difference in these. I was like, God, I'm not going to spending one hundred and twenty dollars on a racket until I know I like this. Yeah, so long story

longer. We were like quietly shamed. Yeah, But in the car ride home, Jake was like, we were the best people in that class, and I go, no, we weren't, and he goes, I was so serious, And I was like okay, Jake, I'm sure you were. We didn't even play everyone. Well that's I was just gonna ask were you doing, partners were you doing? And it's all partners, okay. And so we went to the one in chan Hassen and they have three courts, so it was like twelve people that write for a twelve yeah, and

they fill it up. So all twelve people were there and you if you brought someone, you partnered with them. If not, you just got a random partner. And you started off the class with just kind of She's like, feel the ball. It's totally it's not like a tennis ball at all. It's not ever going to feel like that. It doesn't bounce blah blah blah. It's more like a wolf foot ball. Then you start there's like it's the rules are totally different than tennis. So it was really hard for

me mentally. Like the thin thing that really was hard for me is first of all, you can only serve underhanded. Secondly, the ball has to bounce twice before you can hit it out of the air, So when you serve, that's one bounce on the other side and then they can hit it. And then you have to let it bounce on your before you can hit it. After that, you can hit it out of the air without it

bouncing. But I like two different times, was like bob out of the air and they're like nope, But I'm like, god not remember the rules? Yeah, and just a lot of different rules and the counting and every like the points, everything very different. So it was a good workout actually, And there are just like tennis, the guys who just want to slam every single ball, and I was like, I just get so annoyed with people like that. I'm like, this is an intro class bitch. Yes.

And I literally was just like, we get it. You're a strong guy, you can hit the ball. But when I looked at it, I actually don't think that's beneficial. I think that the slamming like that, maybe I'm wrong. I got the vibe like that is actually going to when you're playing a real hard match, that's going to backfire on you. It's kind of the vibe I got. But because why because it'll bounce up higher for the other opponent to be able to hit it easier. I just think

you're less. I feel like you're less, you have less accuracy with it. But I mean, maybe I'm wrong because it's very new. But another thing was she was like, do not come back here to like an open play for intermediate or higher levels because this is your first class. She's like, you will not like it. It's a bunch of people who are slamming the ball. You will feel scared. Don't do it. So we're going to go back for like more beginner kind of like open play thing. Nice?

Okay, she says, one hundred percent agree. If you're going to an open play or want to do a league, make sure you know the basic rules of the game and how to play. Yeah, now that I know that, that would have pissed me off too if someone came in. It's a great community and most people are generally happy to help you out and teach you some things. But like Ted said, if you're paying for it, you don't want to explain to someone how to play or how to scorekeep.

If you aren't going to do an intro course, then I'd say rent a court first, or play outside during off times before jumping into open play too. My boyfriend and I have been playing pick ball together for two years and it's very bittersweet to do with your partner. We play in a league over the summer, and we're told that the center line that divides the course in half is called divorce alley. They say a lot of couples don't make

it out alive when they start playing together. It's definitely a pro doing something together, but make sure you don't let the issue on the court linger with you into your home life. We almost always leave mad at each other and have learned that we need to stop taking it so seriously. We're both pretty competitive people and that it's just a game. I hope to hear on future podcast how it's going. That's from I don't know if you said I can say her name, I thank you, Okay, yeah, thank you Shelby.

I don't think that will be an issue for Jake. I think it would be an issue for me. Yeah, I was gonna say, I Jake doesn't care that much. Yeah, I think and Jake, actually I don't know what he's like in a competitive situation, like competitive. I was gonna say, I think it's like whatever, because Andrew gets pretty competitive. He's usually like a happy, go lucky person, but he can get kind of like angry and like competitive, But he usually keeps it to him.

Yeah, and then he'll come home and bitch to me about like all the people that fucked up and kickball, and then they were telling him what to do and he's like, are you serious, you guys, you did this and this and that. So but I did read him her email when she sent that, and I told him about the divorce. Alley, right, that's what she said the line was called, And I was like, man, babe, this might not be a good idea for you and I because

he wants to start playing pickaball too. I was like, I'm a little concerned. Yeah, we might get at each other's throats. I my one of my my best like my first friend that I remember is like from kindergarten, Tiffany. She and I were tennis doubles partners, and she has like a quiet, very sweet person, but she's competitive, and we would get so mad at each other, like so mad, we just would we wouldn't even talk. We would go quiet, like so pissed at each other.

So I'm sure I would definitely feel like that with Jake, So we'll have to be careful. Yeah, it might be also just like better for us for the most part to like play just with each other. But then my neighbor Jen, She's like, oh, we should play with you, and

I'm like, okay. She is one of the most competitive people I've ever met, because she will she will get on the peloton and look at my ride and be like wow, Fallin, like you were killing me that whole ride, And I'm like, I do not get on peloton and look at people I know because I'm competitive and I don't like that. That would get my head too much, and that's not why I'm there, Like I want to have a good ride, but I don't want to I don't want to

compete against people I know. I don't know how to do a lot of things on peloton, like to do things with a screen very often, because I use it very rarely when I go home to visit for the holidays and

stuff, and because my sister has one. But I did see how I could kind of put like the leader board to the side and stuff like that, and I had to start doing that because I was like, I wasn't taking any live classes, but I was seeing other people that were in there at the moment, and I was like trying to compete against them, and I was like, dude, you do this like once every four months.

I know, Yeah, You're not going to be able to keep up with the people who literally do this almost every day or at least like once a week. Yeah. I was like just settled down because I just was getting so mad. I was like, that person is fifty five in their ads like this. I was like, are you kidding me? You know. I'm like I'm so yeah. I've had to hide things before because otherwise I make it an unfavorable Yeah, competition. Also, Jenny, we text about

this really briefly. You another thing you need to get into, like I'm getting into is a Qatar a Court of Thorns and Roses. Yes, the book series. I am very aware. I am very late to the game. Oh. I just started hearing about it in the last months. So maybe I'm even more late to the game the game because I remember probably like two years ago hearing about it from friends reading it and it's much older than

that. So like it was because I think because I looked it up today of like they have to turn this into like a movie or show, right, Like this is like probably the most talked about series I've seen, like since like fifty Shades of Gray. Also, I know a fourth Wing is really popular too, which is a different series, but only two of the books are out from that series, and this one has all the books out.

But I did see like Hulu acquired rights to turn it into like a show or something in twenty twenty one, So I don't know if they when, how what's gonna happen. I know that when like these studios or whatever acquire rights, they can like hold on to it as long as they want, just to like keep anyone else from getting it. They'll snatch it up quick before anyway. But the first book is the shortest book, and I did audio. I ignored my family the entire day Saturday. I sat on

the couch. I didn't move. I don't know how to have bed sores. I had headphones in. I ignored Jake and Olive. They were playing watching movies. I laid stagnant, and I don't think I'll remembered I was there at one point because I hadn't moved in so long, and I was like, I don't care. I was so invested. And then I didn't have any more audible credits. And you told me that they'll wait for the libraries too long because I start getting like desperate. Yeah, and I was

like, I don't even have the library at on my phone anymore. I started getting like real panicky, so I bought I first time I've ever bought extra credits on Audible. Then I by monthly credit because I was like, I got to start book two. So now I'm on book two. It's even longer. Everyone's like, get Ready, book to so much better than the first one. I was like, well, I like the first one. They're like, it's because you haven't read the second one. I realize

how lame the first one is. Once you read the second one. I was like, okay, so get Ready. It definitely gets you horned up occasionally. Okay, I'm like, because I will go to the library and get random books all the time, so I'm constantly looking at what any books about that I got recommendations for, So I kind of forget what that series is even about. So what is the general idea? The main character she is human and in like whatever world this is? Because it is like,

you don't I don't think you have, Yes, you do. You have to be okay with liking fantasy stuff, Okay, which you like so that's why I was like, you would be into this. She is human and then the humans hate fairies. There's the fairy world is like where she lives is right across a wall, but it's like there's some separation, but fairies can sneak in, and fairies are known for like torturing and killing humans and making their lives miserable and all these awful things to them. So that's the

like premise. It's like fairies is the mythological creature. And now obviously I'm only on book two. I don't know if more things, but there are tons of different types of fairies. You learn about like every like, I feel like chapter you learn about the type of fairy. So yeah, and so it's like a it's an interesting story of she's you know, she's your protagonist. She's a strong, angry woman. Yeah, and it's good the human person. Yeah, okay, interesting. I mean I knew it was

kind of like mythical of sorts. So that's why I was like, Okay, I know I'll probably be into it because I mean, I like Twilight. I read all those books and Game of Thrones, I like all that kind of stuff, so I know I would like it, but yeah, I don't know. I just started seeing more and more, Like I said, I'm so late to the game because it's only been in the last couple

of months. Yeah, I see. I started seeing all the Fourth Wing stuff in the past few months and then that I put up like a pull on my Instagram of like which one should I start first, and overwhelmingly people said a Court of Thorns and Roses. But because all the books are just like already out, not necessarily because it was better. Some people, like my friend described I'll tell you how my friend described the difference, which I

thought was an interesting take. Let me find her she said, She's like, do you like She's like, do you like your Do you like Twilight? And oh god, I think she texted me because now I can't find it, and I was like yes, and she said, don't waste your time with Fourth Wing. I've heard the second was rushed and sucked and it's huge into the I'm just a tiny girl amongst amongst big strong men trope, whereas this one she's not like that. Yeah, she's the lead character,

is not like she's the opposite she fights against that. Yeah, so interesting. No, I definitely want to start it. But like I said, I do the library and I am on like two hundredth on the list to get the first one, so we'll see when it happens. I saw a hack to get more holds on your account on Oh really Yeah, a girl revealed there's like a trick to get even more holds so that you can be in line for more books to get them faster. So I'll send you that

TikTok and maybe it'll help you. Okay. I was thinking about this yesterday because I think most people are like this, but I just am in a constant like I have a to do list in my head of everything that I always need to get done, and it's like, yeah, it's like mundane little things like laundry and whatever, but then it's like I want to paint

our guest bedroom. So it's just like this constant list in my head where I feel like I don't give myself the joy of being able to sit down and read a book for very long because of that to do list that sits in my head. And eventually, if I was reading for thirty minutes, all of a sudden, I'm like, h probably should get up and go do something which we've talked about that before, but I feel like it was like overly aggressive this past weekend because I have a new book I've been reading

too, and I just like sat down each day. But after like thirtyish minutes, I like looked at my watch and I was like, Okay, that's it, Like let's go do something. And yeah, I don't know, it's a weird it's a weird thing to just constantly because I feel like Andrew does not have that. I do not think he has that list in

his head. I think he lives by the seat of his pants and he just fucking does what he wants to do, and he gets done what needs to be done, but it's not this constant like I should be doing this, I should be doing that. Whatever. Yeah, I think that Jake is very I don't know Jake is. I would say he's in the middle. He doesn't he wouldn't like let it drive him crazy, but he also like he waits. He has lists and things to get accomplished, like every

day. But I don't know. I felt like obviously the world's largest piece of shit uh on Sunday. But I can't remember the last time I did that, so I was like, screw it, I don't care. Typically I do it like I only listen to I listened on my way into work, listen on my way home. So that's like a good chunk of time. Yeah. And then if I go for a walk, which is I

usually do like a fortyish minute walk. If I do like a walk and I had not the past weekend because it's been too cold, well too cold for me, I should say I know there's oh no, they're out there doing My neighbors were oute today and I'm like, nope, not me. But that's usually when I get mine in because I'm the same way. I like, I feel weird just sitting around listening to an audiobook, especially for me because I have a child. And I want to say, I didn't

mean to say that's a shame, you're anything. I just yeah, it's like something I got to work on to like allow myself those moments of like it's okay to be doing this and whatever. But it's almost like now I've added reading to my to do list, you know, like I don't know what it is. I swear to God. Becoming a producer of a morning show is what turned me into how I am today because I'm sure you're pretty.

You were pretty kept yourself pretty busy before this. I mean I kept myself busy, but I was an organ and eyes in detailed like what I am today. I mean look back to like twenty eighteen. I think I went on a trip to San Diego and I booked it on a whim because it was my birthday weekend and there was really cheap flights. I was like, I'm gonna go. I had no plan. I think I booked an

airbnb like a month ahead of time. Literally was just going to go by myself, excuse me, and then my girlfriend last minute booked a flight and came with me. We had zero plans. I didn't go research to any kind of restaurants or any kind of hikes. I had like kind of maybe a couple recommendations of a hike to do or something, but I didn't have

shit plan for that. And now I have become a different human, And I know it's like I value my vacation time a lot, so that's probably plays into it, but I just I swear I used to be pretty like more go with the flow. Yeah, I kept myself busy, but like it's like now that go with the flow. Girl used to be able to handle like a Saturday where I didn't have plans, and suddenly it became like

a full day of things. Now it's like, okay, last minute, I can maybe handle one thing, but that's like it like a social event, and then I'm not going to go to like the next thing I was invited to. I think it's a combination of getting older also because and we also grew up. I'm older than you, but I grew up in like

an era where it wasn't as easy to find resources to plan trips. Anyway, that is true only since like the days of Pinterest have I like has planning trips and then obviously now with because like MySpace was not my resource, you know what I mean. So it's kind of like the handful of blogs that existed which weren't a ton, especially travel that I followed. Mine that I followed were like Cupcakes and Cashmere, which were more lifestyle style fashion.

And then but once Pinterest came out, and then even social media in the beginning wasn't anything I would use. Yeah, as now that like reels and stuff are popular, I feel like it's really pushed, really get it pushed like the vacation thing over the top. Yeah, I agree, I don't know it's weird. And I will say one last thing because I just told Fallon this before we started recording. It's just a little bit of a travel hack that maybe you already know. But I'm booking a trip for snowboarding for

Ato and I in March. And if you're looking at an Airbnb and it says it's hosted by so and so vacation rentals, or it's like hosted by a name that sounds like a company, not just like hosted by Anna, yeah, I would highly suggest googling that rental company and looking for that same place on that rental company's website because I can almost guarantee you it's going to be cheaper, because that's nice. I discovered that a few years ago there's

like a big place in the Colorado area called skyrun Rentals. They might have them nationwide, but specifically and like all the ski towns and one of the places we're staying at. I found it for cheaper off of like saw the booking on Airbnb, saw it was hosted by Skyrun, went and googled sky Run. Found that same place on their website and could get it for like a few hundred dollars cheaper. That's awesome, And it's not always that much

cheaper, but even like I'll take even fifty dollars cheaper for sure. Absolutely. Well, that is our time today. I know that again. Sorry, it's a little bit late. We had yesterday off, so we recorded it live today because usually we record podcasts on Mondays. I think we are gonna I texted group texted Tina yesterday. Yes, So I don't know if it'll be next week. Maybe if Sunday works, we might record Sunday because it's like hard to find, you know, people with real jobs. They

can't just come in on a Monday and record with us. So we might see if like the next few Sundays we can record for like a series we said we kind of joked about, but I was serious about, and I think Jenny knew. I was of where are they now? People that we used to work with on the morning show, and so most of you know Tina. If not, you'll get to know her and hopefully we can set it up where maybe we kick it off next week where she joins us.

If not, maybe the week after and then ideally we'd like to get like Steven, probably Mike the old web guy. Ye, maybe Jordan. I know I would love to have Jordan. Yeah, we'll see if there are any of them are available or all of them are available. But thanks for listening, have a great week.
