Welcome to the I'm Still Fun podcast, which, by the way, we got I'm not calling you out, Megan, I love you, but we got an email from Megan. She clearly listens and she it says I'm still fine now. I don't know if it's an auto correct or if you think that's the name of the podcast, but it made me laugh and I loved it. But I was going to start off with this quick email from her. She says the scream I scrumped when on the last episode someone mentioned Zodiac

Academy. It is one of my all time favorite series. It will also be a complete series come April. I haven't read Akatar yet. It's on my list, but is a daunting series, but wanted to give my two cents on Zodiac Academy. It's so so good and will make you feel every emotion anyway, Love you both. I'm originally from Minnesota, I currently live in atl What up Atlanta? Nice and I'm a longtime listener of katiew b Fallon you are missed on the morning show of Jenny. You are doing a

fantastic job. Love that we still get to listen to y'all together. Keep up the great work. Xx. Megan, So thank you, Megan. I wanted to give a little shout out to her for listening to the podcast even though you live in Atlanta. Now that's so cool when we hear that, you know, I feel like I keep adding more and more series in books to my list ever since bringing up like you brought up a Gatar and

now I'm like starting to finally read them whatever. And then everyone's like, you got to read this next, and this, and I'm like, oh my god, I can't keep track of everything, but okay, yeah, it's a lot. It's a lot. I had a work call today with a charity group called the Bond Between And as soon as I was like a zoom or teams is what we use here at iHeart And as soon as I got on the team's call, she was like, how's Olive or whatever. I said, oh, you know, good to a little bit about all

of it. And then she's like, okay, now for the real conversation. She was like, let's talk A guitar is like, oh, I didn't know that this meeting today was gonna go. So then there's a guy. His name is Patrick, and he's kind of like the mediator of our meeting, and he just sat there and listened to me and the two girls talk about Okay, so speaking of I was going to tell you this little

tidbit I thought you would. I saved it even though it happened last week because it made me laugh, and I was like, Jenny's gonna like this. So Jake and I pulled up have you seen the Netflix documentary called lover Stalker Killer? No, but Dave just brought it up on the show. Really so he didn't really give many details, but it sounded like something I probably wouldn't watch. No, it's not about watching it, Okay. So

we were watching it, but I was not paying attention. I was like, I don't know if I was listening to my book, if I was on TikTok, what I was doing. But out of nowhere, Jake was Jake cos I'm pretty sure this documentary is based on you. And I go what And I look up and he goes. He pauses, it rewinds it and it showed a text that the stalker woman sent to her like husband or boyfriend or whatever he was, and it said she had sent him a message

and said, it's not funny because it's based on a true story. Every whore you talk to, I take pictures of their license plate. I don't care if they're customers. Oh my gosh. He sounds like a text you send me, you, Jake, And I send it to his sister and she she confirmed and she goes, but I mean, you guys are married, so that is what she's supposed to do. And I was like, Okay, thank you Hannah for supporting me. I always know she will but

maybe laugh. I was like, I'm gonna share that with Jenny because that's funny. That was the ongoing thing that Jenny's not like as jealous of a human as I am, but I am. I would really lean into the character of being a little psychotic. It's like one of my favorite parts of you though. Thank you. I mean, like, I definitely get jealous. I'm not like, well, yeah, I'm crazy person who doesn't like I totally get jealous of things, but like fallin just like does it in

a murderous way. Yeah, it's true. So it's just like a different level, but it's a very joking, obviously level. Jake always says times I don't know. He always is like, I hope someone overhears you like one day whatever, we're talking into a store parking lot. I'm threatening him or he's like, if anyone ever find if I ever died, anyone finds my phone, they're not gonna think you're my wife. They're gonna think you're a person that killed me. And I was like, okay, call them

down too far, too far. I told Jenny that he was out of town this weekend, so it was like A, it was a it was exhausting. Yeah, he had all of yeah day and I didn't even have her, like the whole time of myself. Mean Friday, my mom had her half the day. Friday my mom had her, or Saturday had her half the day because I did an art class. And I was like, what am I complaining about here? I mean a lot it's like to have a child. I just know what it's like to watch my helly and nephew

sometimes my beautiful, lovely niece. The two different personalities, that's how it goes. My sister will concur about everything I just said about both of them. I love them dearly, but I mean, yeah, they're tired. Like I love the fact that I get to give them back. Yeah I

give here, you go your children, not mine. It's true. I know I can tell what when my mom is done with it, and I'm like, I like, sometimes I'll go on vacation and I can watch through the monitor and you can tell, well, my mom is putting all of to bed after a long like she is done. Now She's like, thank god, bedtime. Yeah. Well my mommost sometimes be like no, I am done, actually saying all right, Debbie down a little bit, like it's a little bit much. Yeah, So did you have a good weekend?

Yeah, I mean it's been pretty low key, I feel like besides, I mean, we had a bachelorette party like two weekends ago, so I feel like this past weekend it was just like a chill. Yeah. I didn't make any plans, so I didn't do a whole ton. Really, I'm contemplating if I'm just going to become like completely sober. And I know you might think that that's a joke because we talk about me partying a lot or like my used to party days whatever, But I don't know what

alcohol does to me anymore, like if it's worth it anymore. Okay, because I drank probably like they were kind of strong, but I drank some margaritas on Saturday at this get together at a friend's house, and like, by no means did I get drunk or anything, but definitely tipsy. But got home later that night Andrew and I made food. We took these dogs for a walk. So that shows you how like coherent I was. Still I wasn't like stumbling or anything, but then you know, I have some

food, I sat. I think I read like a tiny bit of my book, but I was definitely too tired at that point, and I go to bed and then literally for eight hours, I laid in bed and woke up. Every twenty to thirty minutes. I would wake up and my heart would be racing. And so it's like I've always had I've had a hangover anxiety, probably since I was like twenty four. Yeah, and I just pushed through it, forget about it. Whatever I deal with it for a

few hours goes away. But now it just really affects my sleep so aggressively that it throws me off for like two days. I'm so tired. So Sunday I had all these plans of getting shit done, and what did I do. I got up and did a couple things, and then I was laying on the couch and fell asleep and then literally went upstairs and just take a nap again because I was I just was tired, because that's sleep. Even though I was quote unquote sleeping for almost eight hours, it wasn't sleep

now. It was such like I would wake up, I would roll to the other side, fall back sleeve for twenty minutes, wake up, roll to the other side, like I was switch sides. I was constantly moving around. And then God Andrew sleeps like a rock because he wouldn't have been awake so much. But it's just so weird. And my heart's like racing when I wake up, So there is definitely some anxiety there, but like

I don't feel necessarily anxious, but my heart's racing. And the same thing happened in Savannah, like the one night that we went out and partied and stuff. I was good, like I drank enough to probably knock me out for a little bit, and but also once again didn't get very drunk, like I know my limits now and I know when it's time to call it

yeah home, yeah. And so I think I woke up that morning at like four am, and from four to seven am, I was fighting that sleep again of my heart racing, and I mean my resting is at fifty five and my heart was at one hundred, just laying the ease, and that is just like not how it should be. So I know it ties in with just the general innxiety that I have right outside of putting alcohol getting that involved, but it's so not fun the way it affects my sleep,

and I feel like the lack of sleep makes me crazy. Yeah, it really makes me kind of crazy. And I mean, obviously there's plenty of science out there to prove that, yes, if you're not sleeping, it can like drive you a little insane. So I just don't know that it's worth it. But at the same time, like I've had plenty of times where I have had a couple of drinks and it's just like nothing. Yeah,

but I don't know it. That's so crazy to me that it would like shift in you like that, even though you said you've had hangover anxiety for but that's always like the day on earth. It's like I wake up, I feel kind of gross, like whatever, and then I feel a little bit anxious throughout the day and it kind of goes away. But this was like it's literally like I can't even like sleep through the night at all. I'm like wondering, is that like a question for your doctor or a

question for your therapist? Right? You know what I mean? I do have therapy this week. I haven't seen her baby about that. I think I've got a girl I got to talk to her about This is really personal and you don't have to talk about it. Have you decided one way or another if you will start medication for anxiety through therapy? As of the last appointment, I had said that I was good for the moment, but I

don't know. It's been a rough like handful of months. I would not handful, like a few months, I would say of just like a rollercoaster of emotions. And I like felt like I was like doing good and like I know that there's nothing like bad about taking medication, but I've just like in my head it's always been like, oh, I've gotten through really bad anxiety before without medication, Like why do I need to do it now?

Because I have? I have gone through like almost debilitating anxiety where I didn't leave my college house for like classes I had to be attending, and I like got through that anxiety, and so there's like a part of me that's like, well, you've gotten through this before, you can get through it without medication now. But I haven't loved the last few months of just like

this roller coaster of stuff. So I think I'm going to talk to my therapist again because the last appointment we did talk about if I needed to if I thought I wanted to get on medication, which I then have to see a psychiatrist at that point, I can't go through my therapist. So she, you know, she's like, we got to talk about this because I need to recommend you to someone else then to get you going on that if

that's what you feel like you want. So I think I'll probably just like discuss all the things I've that have happened in the last month that I want to talk to her about at this coming appointment, and then maybe revisit We'll definitely revisit the medication thing. And I know, like I've heard like really positive things from people before who have reached out and said that medication has really helped them. But also like my therapist has told me that it really like

definitely helps you in those moments of anxiety. But it also levels out your emotions in general, so you're like really high highs aren't felt the same way, you know, And I don't know that there's any thing's super wrong with that for me, but like, for a second hearing that, I was like, well, I don't want to like, yeah, be leveled out. I want to feel emotions and stuff, but I think don't want to feel that anxiety. I think that's the truest dilemma with many of the medications.

Like a lot of people they feel like they're not depending if the things I've heard, you know, if it's like the negative side of things, they don't maybe feel like themselves as much, yeah or yeah, the same thing, Like they don't feel the like excite. I don't know if the excitement's the word, but think like in those kind of moments as much.

I feel like even this is like a terrible like reference. But I feel like that's like what because you think of celebrities like I feel like Kanye West has talked about that, like how it really stifled his creativity kind of for writing when he was on medication. That's why he would go off of it. He'd like think he was fine go off of it and then he was like, I don't think he was fine. I think, yeah, it

just made him feel like he was because he felt so like level. But I mean maybe that you know, I don't know anything about it, and they'd have to find the right one for you and right, no, I exactly, And I know it's also a process of like you don't just start taking it one day and the next day you will yeah, right, youah have to like sit there and like hopefully it works the way you want it

to in like a few weeks. Six weeks I think is usually like generally a time where you should definitely tell it be able to see a difference. But yeah, I don't know. I mean, once again, I'm not opposed to it. I just I guess I had thought that, like I haven't used it before, but like these last handful of months just haven't been I don't know, it hasn't been hard. I don't want to sit,

well, it has been hard in moments. I don't want to sit and say that like life has been super super tough, but the moments that have been tough have been like really tough. Yeah, and now I'm gonna cry, Jenny, would you say it's all because you're not with me every single morning. Yes, I literally texted you. No, I'm just kidding, I mean truthfully, as I have tears in my eyes, but I like mean this authentically, like the lack of having your friendship like every morning is

hard. Like there's just like a lot of things I think that have happened in the last year in my life that have like not triggered anxiety, but like when something does happen that's anxious for me, I don't have like the comfort that I used to in certain ways, and like you're one of them. And like I literally, I mean this was a complete joke, but texted her Friday morning. I was like pitting out so bad Friday during the show, and I was in the bathroom and I was like, holy shit,

there was like a gallon of sweat in my armpit. And I sent her a picture and I was like, do you miss seeing me put paper towels in my pits? Every morning? I would look up, especially when Dave was gone and she was running the board. That's when she pit the

most. Oh my god, because she'd be like extra stress for doing more work, and I look over and she'd just have paper towels hanging out of her teacher I would I wouldn't, So yeah, there's just there's many moments where like, I mean, whatever I missed on the show, and there's nothing wrong with like Dave and Drake, like we still run the show and it's great and everything, but it's like, you know, I don't get to have the comfort that I have from Falin and I his friendship, and

like, you know, you guys don't always get to see what happens behind the scenes with us, but Valain's just always been there for me and she still is. It's just that like I don't get to see your embrace, you're not like physically there, and it's the same with me. And then I think also we both don't want to vent to each other because we feel

bad piling on. But we used to be able to vent to each other like just every morning if we needed to, And which is so ridiculous because I never care if Jenny vence to me, and I know she doesn't care if I vent to her about things, So it's just silly, like we shouldn't hold it in because I think I think in our like our jobs,

like we both like love, like what we do so much. But of course, like anything, there are going to be things you vent about, and it's like with your closest coworker, it's there's only one person who truly understands it, you know. So that's why it's like easier for us to vent to each other, just because like we understand the industry and like how it affects people, like you know, if something upsets me with like our

sales department, I can text Jenny. I literally texted her on like Friday because someone like sent me an email and it annoyed me, and I was like, did they do this to the morning show by chance? And Jenny's like nope, and I was like, god, it just like fired me up to me then, So you know those like insider things that like you can invent to each other about, Well, good luck with therapy this week.

Thanks. I mean for a while, because I was seeing her pretty consistently for a while, I was like, oh God, another appointment, And now I'm like, oh, yes, an aportment, I need it this week. It is like it is definitely a good feeling when you need it, and they can like kind of calm you or reassure you. But I had those two where it was like too often, I'm like, I don't even have anything to talk about this week. I don't know, and that I felt like I was just making up stuff to like talk about almost

so I wanted to talk about my hemorrhoid. You have another one, yeah, but it's like okay, so this is to go back. I had hemorrhoids removed like three different times. Everyone always asks about it. It was thrombos, it was external. It was really painful. I had one one I was pregnant, and then I've had it like twice after like so one immediately because when you push, a lot of women get hemorrhoids from like the pushing process. So mine were so painful. Everyone's like, how do you

know. I'm like, dude, you that's all you can think about because it just it's painful. And if it's like that, then my primary care physician recommended a colon and rectal clinic. So that's how it all went down. And I always like give the thing, like, if they'll give you a couple of painkillers, do it, because the first couple of days are

brutal. Not gonna lie. The first person gave me a painkiller the second time he didn't, and I was like, what the f. So the third time I got so nervous going in that they weren't going to give me a painkiller, and they didn't that I took extra strength tile and all in

the parking lot before going in because they like, dumb it. Then remove it and then it's just like, but that area heals very quickly, so it heals, but every now and then I will be able to tell I'm like getting one, and I get so fucking stressed out, like it's all I think about. Yesterday was uncomfortable, and I get the thing where you

take a picture of your asshole. I thought you were going to say, you know, you put the you put the mirror in a certain angle on your bed somewhere in the eye clouds someone just vomited, but I was like, I need to like see what it looks like because and it was like, and I know. The solution is if it's like you're starting to feel it come on, it's like all about like your nutrition basically and your stress levels, which I've been stressed lately, so I'm like, I'm sure that's

part of it. My eating has been clean, but I have not been drinking enough water. So my first step was like chug, chug, chug, chug water. Also, like sitting on hard surfaces is not good for it. It's like if you sit a lot. That's why they tell you not to sit on the toilet for a long periods of time. So like yesterday, I was like if I had to sit on my butt, like for food, I sat on a pillow and I'm like on the couch, I was like laying on my stomach. And I slept on my stomach last

night to give her some time. And today it feels a lot better. But it was like I'm like chugging, chugging, chugging water. And I think I'm just sharing this in case like anyone ever, because people will say, what do you do? And I see all of these maybe the answer,

I don't know if it's holistic. Some are holistic and some are like ridiculous not holistic, crazy suggestions because I have a video about hemrhoids on TikTok and people recommend all these things and I'm like, I don't say anything in the comments, but I'm like no, Like I had a friend message to me and they're like, I saw if you put sugar on it, and like, I'm like, no, you can put sugar all over that thing, but once it's hit there, if it works for you, great.

I got to the point where I would try anything. I get it, but no, and then someone's like yeah in the comments, yeah the sugar doesn't work. I'm like, yeah, no, kidding, Like I'm not surprised the sugar doesn't work. So I just always like people ask me still all the time about them, But it feels better. Today. I went for a walk, okay, in a calm or down because I have genuine questions. Yes, yes, my child, So you have another external one, yes, okay, and but I think it's going away. Okay,

That's what I was going to ask. I was like, do you think it's just going to go away on its own? Because I had one once upon time in college and I'm a poor college student who doesn't have health insurance. I'm literally pooping blood and I'm like, yeah, whatever, no body don't care about it. Whatever, And after like a couple of weeks, I was like, this is probably not If you're putting blood, you should

go to the doctor. Right. So literally, I'll never forget me and my girlfriends we were drinking one night and I like went and had to go to the bathroom and I was like, ah, as you guys, I like, so I think I have a hemorrhyer. Yeah, and we're drunk, so I was like, hemy, like we're nacking. Yeah, And I'll never forget one of my roommate's boyfriends thought we were the most disgusting people ever that. I'm just like, yeah, my heavy, I'm just like

cleaning out of my butt. And then I went to the doctor finally a couple of days after that. They had me bent over you well, not bent over there, just put me on the side. Yeah. I was just on my side and she was like, yeah, I mean it's already healing. Like it had gotten to the point where I don't know if popped is the right term, but they don't pop, Okay, it'll just like

kind of go back. It's almost like it's inflamed basically. Yeah. And ninety percent of the time, even after having a baby, they most of the time, if you're like drinking that water you're eating, well, you know it will heal itself, that's what. But I'm like, you will know if it is not like it is, like I had Jenny cover an

event for me last minute because I could not even stand up. I was so uncomfortable when I got them removed, and and I'm Jake, look at it, and I'm the first that I had the first that the dot. I spread my cheeks and the doctor was like, oh my gosh, those are large. I was like, okay, well you didn't have to go there, lady, all right, But I mean I surprised everyone with them.

And then but I yeah, it's typically they go back. Yeah, and if if they're so uncomfortable and painful, you should go to someone. And people get so embarrassed, but men and women get them, and it's common also when you're older. So I drink your water, drink your water that and then also do you use the squatty potty? I have a squatty potty. I have a bidet. I feel like that stuff is helpful too, because like then you if you're having like constipation issues, it helps you

a little bit. With like the elevation. We just have a natural squatty potty built in because our bathroom is so small that the tub is right in front of the That's how I'm growing up house. I just put my feet up on there, and like Andrew and I are just we're kind of gross. We don't always show the door unless there's like really bad situations happen, and you'll like come home and I'm just feed up, and he knows what's

happening because he'll see me and I'll be like, hey, yeah. I was like, you should go in a different room, don't be like standing, because he'll come home and he'll just like want to talk about his day and he'll be in the hallway to the bathroom as I'm literally legs are up like I'm trying to go to the bathroom, and I was like, maybe just give me like five yeah, you know, like just give me a

little bit. But yeah. There was a squatty patty and our Christmas exchange this past year, and I think my younger sister Katie put it in and she was like, Jenny, because you never know what the exchange present is, that's the way our families is, obviously, and she's like, Jenny, I really think you'll like mine, blah blahlah blah, and I didn't take hers, and someone else did and said it was a squatty patty. I was like, I had have got one of those. It's built in

with my toe. That's a genius. That's a genius, like little Christmas pass and for sure, but I do think we need one in our basement because there have been times where are and I are both needing to go number two and one of us has the basement and we're like, oh, no, where to put our feet up. If you don't know what a squatty potty is, by chance, it is just like basically a little stool you put in front of the toilet, because they say that that's how your body

is more naturally meant to be when you're going to the bathroom, so it makes your bowel movements more natural, easy, less strained. And I don't have one in our powder room, and so I use all of this little toilet in front of it. She doesn't need a little She just needed a little toilet in like a year because she can sell on the big girl toilet now. But she uses her little potty too for and I a should just

get a stool. She'll put it in front of the toilet so she can step up and get on the toilet, and then she pulls it over and puts it in front of the sink so she can wash her hands, and I'm like, I should just get you an act. She has a stool downstairs for her bathroom, like brushing her teeth, but not upstairs. So no, whatever it was, Yeah, it works for what she needs exactly. Care I was also going to tell you that I did. I've done

two plates classes now and I have another one set for Wednesday Friday. I did like a the A there's a new place in Mound, so it's like right by me. I wouldn't have known, but my neighbor Jen and my neighbor, I mean, she lives like an differ neighborhood, but she's very close to me. She is like one of those friends you want to have because they know everything that's going on. I never look at like Facebook groups and stuff for like news in the city. She'll like, did you hear

did you see I'm like, no, no, tell me everything. So anyway, she's like, there's a new pilates I'm going to go if you want to go, And she's selling her peloton because it hurts her knees. And she has this thing she said recently where when she does she's really competitive and when she does intense workouts like peloton or like hit classes. She says it messes her up for like two hours after the class, where like she doesn't feel right, she feels dizzy. It's not a good feeling. So

she's like, I don't want to do those. I just saw her actually post on Instagram today she's selling her bike, and so she's like, I'm gonna do pilates because it doesn't hurt her knees and you don't really even I don't sweat a ton in there, just like a little bit. Yeah, but it's a reformer kind And I told the lady. I was like, I feel like pilates is having a big moment. She's like, oh, so I don't know that. She felt that. She agreed with me on

that. She's like, it's already always having a moment, bitch, that's why I open the studio. No very nice woman. But I just loved how it's slow. And I was telling Jenny, I feel like it works little muscles you never hit and you don't know about. And it makes me understand why a lot of the people that you see who do pilates a lot have those longer, leaner bodies. So I am praying that it will give me a long, lean body. I have to break it to you lean

potentially, but long. I think that I will say webbing. She was telling me. She was like shocked. She's like it was a different instructor. She was like very kind. She's like, hell and I can't believe this is your second class, Like you have such great form and like you're so blah blah blah. And I was like, oh my god, like keep telling me how this compliments girl. And then we got to where we're on our laid on your back and you put your legs straight up in the

air and she goes balla, do you have really tight hamstrings? And I was like I do, and she like I can tell like and I was like, I also have a bad hip. She's like, okay, we'll do some hip flexer stretches. At the end. It's like all right, lit and uh, but I did like a month unlimited nice. So I'm getting excited and I asked her, I said, how many times a week would you recommend? She's like three times. This like that's probably good.

I feel like that's a pheramountony too. Yeah, And it goes very quickly. I don't even look at the clock. I don't know where clock is. But like in those good high intents, don't for it, don't find either or else you'll always know where it is. It's true because when I do would do like for instance, when Steve would convince me to do Warrior sculpt at Lifetime, I would look up and be like, why why is there still thirty minutes? I won't make it. I won't make it.

I hated it. I hated it. I love Lifetime, but I fucking hate Warrior Sculp. You don't like you're supposed to leave an exercise filling like high yeah, on indoor fins, like, oh, I'm so glad I did it. I never felt like that leaving work. I felt like my I always said this, my soul was removed from my body. I hated it. I mean, sculp classes are really hard. I do still do one on Friday mornings every once in a while when I can make it to it. Yeah, but I just went to the spin class instead because I

couldn't make it to the SCULP class on this past Friday. And like, I'm very comfortable in working out situations, but I know some people aren't. And the instructor straight up came to the back row where I was in my loansome like nobody. Yeah, she goes, I've never seen you before, who are you new? And I'm like yeah, She's like, well, what's your name? And then I like tell her whatever. And then I'm getting call outs in the middle of the class, and you can tell that

everyone in that class goes all the time because I had to. I couldn't tell what I was supposed to be doing at the time. I was like, what did she say? I couldn't understand what she was saying, and so I was watching everyone else and I was like, I think I'm supposed to be doing I'm going to push up motion right now. I'm not entirely sure. Yeah, but I mean in the end it was great whatever,

but I like, I should be comfortable with this. I go to plenty of workout classes, but that moment when you're first called out, yeah, in a class you've never been to, it's kind of like, I don't know if I needed the call out, but okay, yeah, I haven't been to a lifetime spin class in a very long time. Some of the places I've been to for spin I didn't like it as much as Peloton, because I didn't like the instructor's music choice, okay, and I was like,

I'm stuck in this and this is not inspiring me. So I like, that's one thing I do like about Peloton is I can pick the exact I can see the playlist basically. But also I did do so Target had one like crossover with soul Cycle and they had to pop up here and I got to go to it. And because soul Cycle is like probably the best known spin kind of thing, and it was an experience to say the least.

And it was like that where they call you out. There were like candles, there are all these things, and I was like this, I understand the hype behind it, but I it felt a little culty. Yeah, like cause you know, like how they make jokes that like people who do cross That is a little culty. It had that vibe to it for sure. I was like, oh, I would eat. I am a kool Aid drinker man, Like, I don't need to be around this, So I gotta get out. I gotta get out. Whet good. So

I have one story I have to confess. So, oh God, did you shit in on a bike? No? It's nothing about that. It's like quite opposite of what we've been talking about for the last ten minutes because it's fitness. It's more on the side of like am I a healthy person or am I not? Because when it comes on to it, after I tell you a story, you probably not gonna think I am. Okay.

So Andrew and I had bought these fruit snacks from Costco and they're like zero grams of fat, like kind of okay, low when calories whatever, But it works with my diet and how I track my macros. So it was a nice little snack to have every once in a while. So we bought a box a handful of months ago, went through it whatever. The last time we bought it, Andrew was like a fucking addict. He could not control himself. All of a sudden, I look over and there's like ten

fruit snack wrappers etched to him. God, I'm like, babe, what is They're not even that good? Yeah, like the kind of stick to your teeth. And I only get them because it like is zero grams of fat and whatever. I was like, they're not even that great. And so he goes and hammers through this box within like a week, and it's a box of ninety I had a pile. Okay, a week might be in a like an exaggeration. It was probably like two weeks, but still

two weeks. And I even hid the last few because I was like, I would like to enjoy some of these. I was barely getting one a day at the rate he was going. So the next time I go to Costco, I'm trying to find some food that works with like counting my macros, and I find like the jumbo Costco size of rice crispy treats, and those also are pretty low and fat and work with my macros. So I was like, hey, when you eat them? And what's the word when you don't eat a lot at a time? Oh, when you like,

I don't know, like the portion it yeah, or like moderation. Okay, when you eat a moderation certain things like they're fine for you, you know. So I buy this box and I hide it in my car learn them as the next day because the first time I go into it, it's frozen. Because I bought it like a month and a half ago, when I was like five degrees. I was like, fuck, I have to put them in the house. But I have to hide them from Andrew.

He cannot know about these or else I will never see them again. So I have them hidden and and You're like, noticed a rapper recently and he's like, what's that? What I would do is it be my little treat at night as I'm going to bed. You and I would have one year, I would have like one to two. Sometimes if I like had the calorie count in the account, I could add in like three if I wanted. But I like finally confess to him one night and I go, Babe, I have been going, hey, I'm on these, but I am

like, yeah, moderation. And I open up the drawer to my nightstand and I reveal just like a pile, like an extreme pile of Rice Crispy Street rappers, and he's like what he starts freaking. I was like, are you kidding me? Where are they? Where are they? And I was like, no, you don't get to know where they are. Yeah. So then for the last week or so, he'll do something and he's earned a Rice Chrispy tree, you know, and I have to like He'll be in our sunroom, which is on the main floor, and I have

them hidden somewhere on the main floor, so I run. I literally rustle around in multiple rooms to throw them. Oh my idea where the box did in. But it's the only way I can get stuff like that, Like yep. Andrew is always like, well, we just got to eat it all now, so the snacks are out of the house, like that's his look of life. He'll buy a bag of chips. He's like, well, I just got to eat it all in one sitting because then it's out of the house. And I was like, well, maybe it's so much

like Jake. It's disturbing. They are so Jake came home, I'm a girl like buying girls, got cookies and handed me the box. He had just been in the grocery. So between grocery where she was selling to the house, there were two cookies left, and he goes, I saved you something. You saved me some. He's like, I need them out of my life. He's like, she's going to be the next president. The way she hustled me. I'm like, she probably looked at you and you

handed or your walling like shut up. And I was like, you're pathetic. They're the same. They are No Andrew's exactly like that with Girl's coaches moments too. I can't act like I'm like holier than that. I'm a piece of shit half the time. Well, I was gonna say, like, I can't control myself either. That's why I don't keep a lot of stuff in the house because I have a struggle with that. But like, this was one thing where I did go a little crazy one day and I

ate four and I I had the worst stomach cache ever. And it's like, all right, we know the three is my limit, you whatever, But I usually, like I said, I just like, usually it's my treat at the end of the day, and I have like one and then I put the wrapper in the drawer so that Andrew never sees the remnants. And so yeah, that was like my dirty little secret. I was hiding from him pile and now he knows all about it, but I don't care because he ate all the fucking fruit snacks. And I was like, this

is what you get. You're not a lot of housing candy too in the garage. But then the mouth mice found it, I did, and yeah, you hide stuff everywhere. I hid that way from him, and then I think when we either last year or the year before, we had like two trigger treaters and we had a Costco size of Halloween candy, and I was like, let's put this away and like, I know whatever. People might disagree with us, but I said, we'll bring it to the movies

when we want, like snacks and whatever. So I was like, let's go hide this away. But I did tell Andrew to hide it because I didn't really want to know where it was. Well, of course, he admitted to me after a month that he'd ate all of it, and he like he just was getting into it every night, and I'm like, all right, so we're just allowed to have snacks in the house because neither of

us can control ourselves. By the way, I think they texted into like the main show text number, but someone who listens to the podcast, so that they because of you. I think it was that it could have been an email discovered Goodles. Yes, and they like their kids and family are obsessed with them, so they were like, You've changed their life. And I feel like it was a text like in the afternoon show. Yeah,

and they were like, oh my god. And it might have been like a topic we were talking about, and or maybe it was something else. Maybe it was like a text to your all show that I just saw when I got in. But either way, you changed someone life with your Google. They're so good thing, and I haven't tried them yet. I still need to try them. They're so good. But of course, of course I find them at Costco and now in the last month they're not there anymore.

So I got them I started. I probably found them back in the summertime. I bet you gobout them on Amazon, but you think, I'm sure you can. But it's like I always try to get you know that cheap like bulk Life, which is Costco. But yeah, you can definitely buy them elsewhere. I think you can just buy them in single packs at Target or something like that. And there's different varieties too. I've only done

the regular mac and cheese kind of one. But yes, I was so bummed because I feel like I'll always find something I love so much at Costco and then it's gone after like six months when I love it too much, like I'll never see it for another like six months to a year. Our top thing we get like endlessly. Well, other than like because Jake and

Dylan eats so many eggs, they get their eggs there now. But the bare lightly breaded chicken breast or chicken pieces are my, like our whole family all of us love them, like, yeah, you can like make kind of like Chick fil A like sandwiches with them, and they're like great protein and not a ton of calories and they're so delicious. We pop them in the air fire and that's like our top always get at Costco for sure.

So yup. Anyway, well that's our time. We've been going longer lately, and even today Jenny and I are like, I don't know if we have a lot to talk about. We're starting, I don't know, get Jenny going on Orden or snacks and there you go, or me talking about fairy porn. All right, Well, thank you so much for listening. Have a great week.
