speaker-1 (00:32.11)
Greetings, TT. that sounded great, didn't it? I'm glad I cleared my throat. Greetings, T T. Maybe I shouldn't have cleared my throat. Well, I guess I shouldn't have cleared my throat. my god. What's going on there? I don't know. I have a little squeak. A little squeak. I'll take a sip. Hello, TT. Hello, Creenie. How are you? I'm well, thanks. How are you? I know you've had a very busy week. I'm tired. Yes, I am tired. I I had it was one of the two weeks I was

dreading, but I knew it was going to be brisk and boy boy it was. Boy was it varied. I started off with what did I start off with? A funeral. Jeez. Yeah. First thing Monday. And then yeah, I I worked today, so six w six days in a row. And you know, made a three hour trip for nothing. But that's okay. It's okay. It's part of the it's part of the part of the game. happens, you know.

Should happens. People people you count on, you know, reading things and doing their jobs. Yeah. Sometimes just don't, so you don't pay the price. So But I did get back in time to attend two of Adeline's soccer games. There was a tournament today in Scotia. So I was able to zoom over there and I actually found

the field she was playing on. I was shocked because I pulled up there and I'm there were at least ten or twelve soccer fields. And the mass of humanity on the sidelines and you can only w walk certain places, not, you know, I mean these fields are just boom. Yeah. So and one right next to another everybody's blue or black or white or red and you're like, okay, what what jersey are they wearing today?

I was so surprised I did, I found her. So I was able to I sat right on the corner. I was all by myself. Well, I probably shouldn't have been sitting there because it was in the middle of several other the corner par the open corner parts of other fields. So yeah. Well I'm when you got to be able to she was able to see you be there, right? Yes. Because Lauren was with Annie in Bethlehem for a tournament. So it's like run, run, run. And Mia is in Mechanicville in a tournament.

speaker-1 (02:51.286)
And Brynn is in New Jersey watching or playing s no, she's in a tournament in New Jersey. That's right. So it's tournament weekend. Wow. I don't know. Bun bun bun. Let's do it. There's something to be said for just kicking the kids out in the morning and saying, Don't come back till dinner time. That's how we were raised, right? Yeah. Yeah, right. I don't need to know where you are. And and nobody ever asked either. They were like, Where were you? What were you doing? No. Best not to know. As long as you were there in your seat at the

appropriate time. At the dinner time. Right. There were no questions. You're in the house. You washed your hands. It's all good. It's all good. It's all good. So yeah, but it it was very busy, busy, busy. Busy, busy, busy. I'm gonna have to say lifelong friend now because it's been almost forty years that I've known this person. Ooh

My friend Liz was here from California and we were able to get together yesterday and that was delightful. We hadn't seen each other I think it's a year, actually. And it's so good when you can do that. Yeah. It was it was really great. We had a delicious meal in Saratoga Springs. It's a Dutch restaurant. The chef is from the Netherlands. Brasserie Benelu. And my goodness. I

It was so good. It was so freshly prepared. Freshly brought to the t it was just tasty. And the other part of this is Liz enjoys food. Like she is a big time foodie. So it's so much fun to eat with her because it's like we both are like, this is so we had asparagus as an appetizer, nice sauteed asparagus with big chunks of garlic and Ooh, yum. Yummy.

So it was it was very good. We op we closed the place. So well, everything closes any more at nine or whatever. Yeah. Yeah. But Saratoga was hopping, let me tell you. Wasn't so busy when we got up there because we got up there for old lady time. As soon as the restaurant opened at four, we were wow. Not quite lined up at the door, but my goodness. Close. Old lady time. Old lady time. Early birds. Although they don't have spe early bird specials. But anyway, so

speaker-1 (05:02.592)
It but by the time we came out, about nine thirty on a Friday night, place was hopping. Hoppin'. Lots of people on sidewalks, a lot of people eating on, you know, like cafe tables on the sidewalks. It's very lively scene. Did I see something about some horses being in a fire? Yes. Saratoga? It's horrible. Horrible, horrible. So there are two horse tracks in Saratoga. There's the the thoroughbred track, which is what we see on television.

That's where the Belmont was run and that's where the summer place to be is going to be come July, July, August. Every year the races come to Saratoga and it's a it's a big deal. But year round there's a harness track. So the trotters, these are horses that are the jockey sits in a like a sulky it's called little sulk sulky thing. And the horse wears a harness. Mm-hmm. And they run around the track. I mean and people bet on them. It's it's been around for years. And it's not too far from

It's not too far from the thoroughbred track. In fact, it's affiliated with the casino. So there ca there's a casino a racino. It's really not a casino. It's Okay. It's a racino. So you can bet on the horses. Well, you can bet on the horses, but you can also play slot machines and video poker and but they don't have table games. That's the difference between a casino and the racino. No table games. okay. Like no roulette. Who knew? No f blackjack. You can play video roulette.

The machines, but no live dealers, no table action. No poker or anything like that. No. Video video poker. But no video poker. No real you know, decks of cards. No, yeah, no decks of cards. So anyway, that's affiliated. A board horse is year round year round. And there are a lot of people locally who own trotters because it's so close and it's a year round sport. They trot in the winter the whole deal. So I worked with a woman who she and her husband raced horses up there.

it was a hobby. Cool. So these big barns hold twenty horses and the stables. and that's where they, you know, they hang. Well apparently like two o'clock in the morning, one night this past week, someone saw a fire and there were no suppression systems in these stables and they were they're like tinder because they were built probably in the early nineteen hundreds or thereabouts.

speaker-1 (07:28.022)
So well over a hundred years old. And they went up and seventeen horses were killed. gosh. that's so sad. The s s other stables were able to be evacuated, but the fire just spread spread so quickly. it was it was and I one or two horses got out of that

barn had gotten out or people were able to get them out. Yeah. But so they have since there was an area at the track, a pretty prominent area from what I read, where they've each horse was buried individually. And so there's a plan to do a memorial or some sort of a a garden type remembrance. But it was devastating for the for the city. yeah. how awful. Really awful. Awful, awful, awful.

Awful. 'Cause these people that's their li for some of these people that's their livelihood too. Mm-hmm. Right. The horse people. And so there there have been a lot of collections. Yeah. Yeah. So that was that was terrible. It's very sad. Terrible, terrible, terrible.

speaker-1 (08:55.094)
honey and I went and we we hit some pickleballs around. Okay. And how did things go this time around? my gosh. I have to tell you how out of shape I am. I have to tell you. Because I was like, it it wasn't just that I was my body was tired. My you know, I was feeling okay. You know, my legs were a little whatever. I could feel it, but but my lungs, my like endurance is zippity doo-day. It's really big. I was like

Can we take a break? God. I know. Of course I was running around like crazy. Was it just you and Honey? Honey and I, yes. We were there for about half an hour, you know. And we we were volley we were trying to volley and we kept going one, two, three, five. So what's one two okay, so you were counting how many times it bounced? How many times it went over the net? Like back and forth. Okay, okay. Volley, yeah. Okay. So but we did get up to twenty seven times. So I was like, all let's talk it. that's good.

That's good. Yeah. That's very good. I think it was people would be hard pressed to volley a tennis ball that many times or a volley b you know, you mean that that that's impressive. So anyhow, yeah, I felt that as soon as we did that, I was like, all right. 'Cause he said, let's try and get to twenty. And I was like, All right. And I'm thinking in my head, when we get to twenty, I'm leaving. So well, I'm glad you were able to get out and experience that. Yeah, it was fun. It was fun. Well, I did have a little talk to myself though when I faced these

how many ever freaking soccer fields I saw. right and I had no idea where they were. And I'm I'm talking the this was a pretty sizable chunk of real estate. And at first I was like, motherfucker. And you know, of course the service is bad. So I texted I I texted Kevin and said, What field are you on? And I d I didn't get a response. So I thought, all right. So I said to myself, Okay, at least you can get your steps in. And off I went. Good for you.

Yep, and I have I have no idea. I did not look. you didn't look. Okay. Yeah. I'm gonna I'm gonna try and get on my elliptical more than twice a week. Yeah. So So we're making our resolutions for what? Health? Or just for well being? Well, for playing pickleball. Okay, for playing competitive pickleball. Alrighty, she's gotta get on the train training regime. I gotta get in shape.

speaker-1 (11:16.716)
You gotta get it. It was a little it was a little startling that I was like. We're not as young as we once were. I know, but still it was startling. I know it's how it all shocking is more like it. You can start all you want. It's it's freaking shocking. Yes. It's it's awful. Yeah. It's like, my goodness. Well, I sat around for three and a half years doing nothing, so you know. Well, give yourself some time to bounce back.

You know.

speaker-0 (11:53.838)
One thing in a day was all that I did. Conserve a treat, protect, that's all.

Golden years I have achieved, but I finally realized I was to see I was once a long ago, there wasn't anyone I didn't know. A volunteer here, launch a dream there. Toast the coast, always hold

Then it all changed with a shift, and my time was now mine. Time to worry, time to wait, time to shrink, time to cry, but no more, time to say goodbye.

speaker-1 (13:08.558)
So have you gotten any feedback from anyone about our soon to be name change? Shift I if you will. I have one person was very excited for us and I was looking forward to to hearing it. Very cool. Very cool. How about you? I've I've mentioned it to several people and I have had overwhelmingly positive response about the slight shift in I guess brand. We'll just you know, mm-hmm. That's basically all that's gonna be happening.

Everything else will remain the same. We'll be right equally obnoxious. Right. And we will be equally obnoxious and as pleasantly confused as we are right now. Yes, yes, yes. As you well, yes, we've it we've certainly illustrated that the name is appropriate. Right. It's a good descriptor for what we're all about. Just being confused. Pleasantly confused. Well, we're confused and we're pleasant and we're

Pleasantly confused. That's about it. All of all of the above. It wall it all works. Yeah. Yeah. And I'm still grinding all over the fact that TT is insisting that we are no longer midlife. But that's okay. We can we can share our we can hard-earned stripes with other women. The younger gals. The younger gals. The ones that are truly midlife women were just crones. That's all.

That's what Titi has decided. So we'll just stick with that. I had saved an article that was hysterical. Where is it? Let's see. Here we go. Open up. Ouvre. So Titi, have you consumed today? I have consumed today. What? I have eaten a gumi, a Tiva strain. Called Pink Lemonade. Pink Lemonade. Floracal Farms and they have Blyverazin in them.

Tasty little entourage effect. Tasty A sty. I am continuing to enjoy my pre-rolled joints from Ghost. Ghost. It's the same. It was the same strain. Same strain, State. The strain remains the same. Triangle Kush. Indica. Triangle Kush. Triangle Kush. Indica. That's what that's what they that's what it is. That's what they say. But I did realize I was online with that particular dispensary today because I was concerned when I

speaker-1 (15:34.23)
Last bought them, the number of strains that had been available was diminishing and it was still it was like a fairly new product, like two months ago. Mm-hmm. And I went to look today and poof, just like that, no ghost. Been ghosted by ghost. It was ghost. I was so I don't know if perhaps if perhaps because they w they were thirty three percent off this whole time if they've been available there. Whoa, maybe there was c like clearance or something.

But like I said, it was a new it was fairly new, yeah. Yeah. Product line I should say. And so I don't know. I don't know. Maybe n I guess next time I go in I'll say, What happened to Ghost? I'll have to check it out. We'll see. But I have enjoyed those. That's a it's a shame. It's a damn shame. What are you gonna do? Keeps I guess it keeps you young.

speaker-1 (16:29.912)
So I was in Gilderland the other day and I saw like two or three new dispensaries. Dispensaries are like opening they're everywhere. Everywhere. All around this area. I don't know how many there. We went from when we first started the podcast, there were no dispensaries in New York 'cause it was illegal. Right. And then it took forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever for anything to open up and then one

If recall, one opened up and it was the only one in the area for two months, three maybe. Lines, the whole deal. And then they started opening up, you know. And then I'm not kidding. It's wonderful. I'm happy for everybody, but whoa. Well you wonder, is the market getting flooded, you know? That's a good question. Is it that popular that it's we need this many dispensaries? I guess we'll find out. But my th the other point

Is there's really you know, you see the same stuff in every dispensary. You know, it's like so you may not be able to find X, Y, and Z at this dispensary, but these three over here have it. And it's the same price. So it's so these places have to really differentiate themselves on service. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Any jazzy appeal they may have or events to try to drive traffic into the dispensary. Perhaps loyalty plan of some sort. But

You can't freebies or whatever. They can't compete on really a price because there's too much very li so some places include the tax and the prices they put online, others it's very clearly added on at the end. So you it could look like one is less expensive than the other, but it's not. So interesting, interesting. One minute, please. Hello. What no, no. the soccer game? Yeah, it's soccer. Yep.

Football. It yeah, it's known as football around the world. Yep. You're enjoying it? Okay. Well that's good. Well I know. I know. But you can watch those all night if you want. Done what? Play soccer? I don't think I I don't don't recall. No. You may have gone with Brian, you know, and Gail when the Yeah. Well, I'm I'm glad you're enjoying it. Okay. You you too. Alrighty. Thank you. Love ya. Yep. Bye bye. Are you watching the football? I'm enjoying did you?

speaker-1 (18:49.302)
Jamaica. the American the USA. No. the Brazil game? Yeah, I saw a little bit of that. Brazil and Croatia. No. Okay. Jamaica. Haiti. That's right. Haiti. Jamaica. So so she's watching the World Cup, folks. And she called it football, just like they do around the world. Just like everybody else. But it makes so much more sense. With the exception of Canada and the U the other big thing was that. But you know, it makes more sense because you use your feet. You use your hips. Foot the bowl. Right. Yeah. Exactly. It makes sense.

You use your foots, is right. the kits are a big deal. The jerseys. Like the design of the jerseys, the home and away jerseys for the different countries. I guess that's a big Okay. Point of interest. Well, I was noticing Brazil's jerseys last night because they had I said to Rich, these guys are really sweating a lot. But part of the design was like in the chest area and you know, it looked like it was it there was some black

sort of, you know, design behind the numbers. Anyway, it looked like it was I thought it all these guys were sweating really profusely because of the black. But then I realized, no, they're all they all have the same pattern on their shirts. Like little waves like in the background, kind of thing. The subtleties of the fabric. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. So s and if you notice some of them have collars. Mm-hmm. So there there's a it's interesting to s to see the differences in the

The home and the away the away jerseys for the different countries. He also got I also read that another reason to be embarrassed by our country. The the best stoos do stop that. The best African referee was stopped at the airport and made to return to Somalia. Yes, but I think he I think I read he was Canada welcomed him.

Okay. He was able to ref games. Canada. No, but he was able to do ref games there. I think I'd heard that. Can you imagine there have been a couple people. I don't know if they're players who have not been allowed to come in. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway. But it's very heartening. I've read several articles about how

speaker-1 (21:09.036)
various host cities within within America, U the US have adopted some of these teams like Kansas City I guess adopted the Algerian team. Really? You know, people wearing their colors and you know, chanting with them and things like that. So there were stories stories about that all around the United States. Because I think they're playing in That's cool a number of different stadiums. I know New Jersey, Boston

Philly Philadelphia. Yeah. Florida, right? Texas, Houston. I'm sure they're in Miami. They've got to be down in Miami or Tampa. Very much, you know. So and they were up in Seattle. The US pla USA played in Seattle, I think, yesterday. okay. Or Portland. But they're all over the place. And you know and I guess the big thing of visitors to the US, the big food item that has really captured people is ranch dressing. My goodness.

To the point where TSA has had to put out advisories to please pack it in your in your check luggage because it's a liquid. my goodness. And they'll confiscate it. So if you're taking if you're taking ranch dressing home I'm sorry you can't bring your r ranch dressing on the plane. Well you'll have to leave it here. You'll have to dispose of it. Right. Would you like to throw it away right now? Would you like to do it? Would you like me to do it?

Yeah. So ranch dressing big hit, but don't take it on through you can't get it through TSA, so pack it away in your check luggage. Enjoy it while you're here. Yep, yep. And whatever you do, make sure it's sealed tight so you don't s open your you have a a suitcase full of ranch dressing. You don't want to splurge that out. Mhm. Good ranch dressing is very tasty. It is. And it's definitely dressings. Multi use. As it does.

Has a nice dressing, it's a flavoring. it's just tremendous. So many things on a sandwich. Mm-hmm. All of the above. I was gonna re I was gonna talk about this a stress technique. I found this it was an interesting stress technique. Let's see. So try sticking out your tongue for forty seconds. I saw that. I tried it. Did you feel that you were activated?

speaker-1 (23:32.25)
Experts say that activating your body this way can ground you in the moment, but there are more effective approaches. Grounding in deep breathing are just a few techniques. But sticking your tongue out forty seconds can instantly reduce stress, but experts say there may be better ways. Well, I think it might be It's a TikTok thing. So is it based in science? I don't know. I saw it I saw that somewhere. That it was a TikTok thing or you saw it pop up? I saw I I read it.

I read this article somewhere. There's a good reason why people are suggesting it. Yeah, but because you think it'd be weird if you're in a a public place? You're at a board meeting or something and you have to give a presentation. And you're just sitting there like this. Sitting there with your tongue out for That's a long time. Well, how would you do it too? Like is it just going I think it's I don't know, I was sticking it way out there. It can it's a unique action

That could counteract the cycle of anxious thinking and pull a person's focus away from thinking, emotions, and worry to feel a new physical sensation. Yeah, like an idiot. That's what you're gonna feel, right? You're gonna feel like the tongue gets dried out and dried out and no, no, no, no. No. I no. I would go with slow breathing. I don't think we need to be sticking our tongue. Plus I now there's such something unsavory about it.

It is. Sitting there with your your tongue hanging out. With your hand it's not a good look. It's not attractive. Not a good look for anybody. Anybody. Anteaters, not none of them. No, no, no. We don't want that. We'll move on. So we're gonna say slow breathing, being more mindful. That is another way to bring yourself help reset your parasympathetic nervous system without having to stick your tongue out. Deep breaths. Deep breath. Deep breath. Breath in. I could do

I take I do listen to a bunch of these. I I have an app. All different from all over different they have a lot of different accents. Yes. It's called Insight Timer. I don't know. And it just it's like someone just talking like this all the time. Well you can pick your you can pick your meditations. You can pick you know for the next twenty minutes. Or perhaps you have listen to me because you're

speaker-1 (25:55.884)
Perhaps I have an accent. Perhaps we do. No, it w you can pick the length of time. You know, it tells you length of time and particular person away like this. Yeah. Yes. It's Pleasant tone. Very pleasant tone. Now. People pay for ASMR. Really? They pay to have people speak to them like this. It's creepy as hell. It is creepy as hell. There's some people that get off on hearing

Like pens click. Like sexually get off. It's they find sound, certain sounds, repetition are are my goodness. Soothing or stimulating. Like have don't you know there's like people that make these things like crinkling things and Yeah, yeah, the the fidgens. Yeah, the fidgets. I know it's all sound. Sound. Sound and and and feel. No, it's all sound. So it'd be suddenly going like It's just sound. it's not the feeling. I've said that.

Fourteen fits just sound. You you this could be you could be agitating someone on what? What shaking a bottle of Advil sounds like. No, I mean it that that sound could have been agitating for someone. One of our listeners. Agitating? I didn't want to get anybody agitated. You think that you think that was an agitating sound? I did take a sativa. Usually I'm with the indigo, so That's true. That's true.

So you're little charged up today. That's good to know. All right. So you're par you've you've you've short circuited your parasympathetic nervous system. That's what you've done. Hey, aren't we supposed to play a game?

speaker-0 (27:32.342)
Either or peace what Madonna whore this that skinny fat dog cat yes no stago high low

speaker-1 (27:43.224)
So, Titi, are you ready to play T T's Choice? I'm ready. Wow, you sound so excited. I'm ready. Sound like how I'm ready. That's how you should be doing. There you go. See, you're getting all into it. If you all recall, we're playing TT's Choice. I'm going to present TT with sev one of 75 different statements or suppositions or what-ifs. And it's up to Titi to choose one and then explain why.

She makes the decision she makes. So what would you what number would you like to choose this V? I would like to choose the number thirteen. Thirteen. Lucky thirteen. Let's take a peek at that. What if your therapist suggested you try a session high? Do you do it? I think I might. Exactly. What's the question? Well

I well I guess I guess we should probably give that a little thought. But really why wouldn't you? What well what's what's the contradiction? I'm a little more I'm a little more uninhibited or less inhibited, I should say. When I'm high. Well, I think doesn't that mean the same thing? Yeah, it does. They both mean the same thing. I just mean I said you said it a different either or. Yes. It's the either or. We could say disinhibited. Disinhibited is another

Well, I suppose. Okay. All right. So establish that you're less inhibited when you're stoned. Wouldn't you think that might have already mentioned to the therapist that you indage indulge recreationally? Don't they ask you that kind of stuff? Or do you think people would just be Did you not hear me or did you freak out? I did. No, I said think about what you just said. I think your s your s your b your basic premise is a little judgy. Like you're s you're projecting maybe some shame onto your

Your self shame onto your therapist. Well by showing some reticence. Mm. To you know Yeah, because well yeah. It it shouldn't be something shameful. No. Wouldn't it be shameful if I said I have a glass of wine every weekend or something like that. It wouldn't be. No. No. So you have to keep it on the down low. Well, yes, I would think at some point during your initial intake, your social habits would be examined. Not examined, but

speaker-1 (30:05.004)
Yeah, they'd want to know, you know, what do you do? What do you do for a good time? Hey, sailor. Hey sailor, what do you do for a good time in this town? Okay. So having a therapy session while high. I think it would be fine. I probably would laugh a lot. Would it be therapeutic? or would it be a total waste of your therapist's time is another question. That's probably true. Well insurance paying for it. I don't think your therapist really cares. Yeah. Say that fool showed up high as a kite.

Highest kites, right Jim? Yeah. That was one of our English teachers. Yeah. Highest kites, aren't they, Jim? No, we always laugh like that. No, I think it'll be interesting. I do. I agree with you that I I I think I'm maybe less inhibited. I don't know. Well, if I'm getting paranoid, I'm less inhibited. Why did you ask me that? Why'd you look at me? God damn business. God damn business. Why are you looking at me like that? What are you writing down?

So something on my face. Don't write this down. Don't write this down. You shouldn't be writing these things down. Yeah, that wouldn't be good. That might be troublesome. So we'd have to make sure it's an indica. you think? Well, what if you fall asleep? What if you snooze doze off? I but I probably would do a lot of like doesn't really matter. you'd think you'd be like really laid back, kind of like you chill. Mm-hmm.

Chill. Chill. Well, we may be able to squeeze some therapeutic effects out of this. Yeah. Good to know. But I think we agree there. I I would Yeah. I would try it. Would you okay here's the I'm gonna say part B. Here's part B. Do we do we share this with the therapist? Disclose. Do we disclose? Yeah. Just walk in and say, guess what? I decided to try therapy high today. I'm sure that would go over really well. You don't think they go I'm gonna I'm you know what? My therapy You should try it so

I should. I should. Like I said. It's been a long time. Guess what? Guess what? What to do? It's been a while. I'm stoned out of my ass. Now, I think I will pose the question just you know, for shits and giggles. I will say, How does this grab you? What would what would you do? What would you say if you know, if one of patients one of your patients

Asking for a friend. Of course it's necessary. Were to report to their therapy session impaired with can't like like how would you approach that? Interesting question. Would would the therapist necessarily change their approach? Would they try to Okay, so would they would you conduct the session as if nothing were different? Would you alter I would imagine business by the way I just thought I'd mention something if you haven't just won't

I just meant to tell you this. I meant to tell you this at the beginning. but I forgot. I forgot because that would be a good multiple choice question. A what if? That's a good what if. Hey folks, if you want to have fun with your therapist, here's a good what if you I love it. You can learn a lot. Right.

Well, we did, we did. We've we've I think that was I have to say though, wait, before we close off here, I do need to mention that I don't like the word impaired. Okay. Well Just wanted to say that. It sounds like you don't you're not necessarily impaired if you're sm you know, using cannabis. You're not necessarily impaired. You might be like I am right now, but And you may object to being called such. So what other

Terminology would one w okay, so if you were to share something with your therapist, how would you ther sh ther it? How would you ther it with your therapist? I would throw it. I would say, you know, I've I've been experimenting for the last four years with cannabis. And I wanted to see what was like to come here when I had indulged. Indulged. Okay. Indulged. Okay. Fair. That's fair. Okay. I think that's a that's a good that's

Yes, I think that's a nice turn back. Yeah. Nice way to turn it right back. Take the sting out. Because just because you've indulged doesn't mean you're impaired. You are correct, because you could be microdosing. Or you could be whacked on your ass, just like you are right now. Right. Either way. Either way. It could you know, it'll work. Alrighty. Well, I th I think that was at first I thought, hmm, this is not going to be very fruitful in terms of discussion, but it certainly turned out to be just the opposite. Mm-hmm.

speaker-1 (34:37.045)
So there you go. Take just about anything and drag it around for twenty minutes. Beat it to a pulp a dusty pulp into the ground. Yeah. Well we've got many more to go, folks. Just think of it that way. So we'll strike off number thirteen. Good job, T T.

speaker-0 (34:54.594)
We've got a list and it's getting long. Petty too profound. What feels so raw? Sticky notes in middle ages. If it don't serve us, it can kiss our ass.

Fuck it, fix it or forget it. We're seasoned queens, don't regret it. If it drains our soul or waste our wit. We file it under, hell no, skip it. From bad frost to toxic friends. We draw the line and IBM each week. A gripe war hill to die on with Queenie and T T-

It list lives.

speaker-1 (35:48.692)
Okay. T T, are we ready to add to this week's bucket list?

Yes, I'm really excited about finding out what we're saying fuck it to this week. Well, if I I'll get to it. Here here we go. Okay, so I recently spent some time with a friend of mine, as I shared earlier. And this individual basically has just you know, there's there are a variety of things that this person could say, fuck it too, but I'm just gonna pick this one here. Fuck it. I'm done with the relative who always has a better story. Yeah.

This has someone in their family who is a one upper has to always have something that's worse or better or more more tremendous or exciting. Or, as was shared with me recently, a story someone else had told them almost verbatim, as if they had experienced it. So it's I think, you know, instead of getting one oneself my goodness upset and and bothered by this, just have to say fuck it.

Fuck it. I'm done with it. It's like holy moly like what the hell? What the hell? But I think everybody has I think everybody has that person in their life that has to has to have something better to offer. I did I was in a business group with someone who no matter what you said, no matter what you said, had to bring the focus back to herself and and whatever story, whatever you were talking about.

was worse, better, whatever extreme was gonna be more dramatic is what happened. Right. And that can wear thin it wears thin quickly, yes. Yes. Yeah. Especially if it's your story that you're hearing. Well yes, that could be a little disturbing. Like wow, how interesting. Yeah. But you know, it does it wears really thin. It gets old. It gets old. Sometimes it

speaker-1 (37:45.208)
Just wanna share some information and just let it sit by itself. All by itself. Nobody else has to add anything. So maybe we could all promise ourselves that yeah, it's okay. We don't have to add something to all story. So does that ring true for you also? It does. Can you identify with that issue? I I mostly have had the experience of someone exaggerating something no in a friend setting. Like exaggerating

And and the more alcohol they've consumed, the more they exaggerate. But exaggerating, you know, like if it was if it was six feet long, no, it was ten feet long and you know what I mean, that kind of thing. Yes, and that's that also it's like a little trying. It's kinda like no That gets old too. That gets old. So it's the same kind of a thing though, right? It's Yeah. Well it's the knee I guess it's the one upmanship. We just you get to a certain point, it's like, ooh, when d when can we let this go?

Mm-hmm. Like really, why? Why? Why do we have to do this? We don't. So that's just it. Don't do its own. Don't don't do it. Do not do it. So T T, what do you have going on this coming week? We have our dinner group in Iowa. I think I mentioned. That's right, you're going to the corn husker steak. Yes, we are.
