[A]

If you're still using regular toilet paper, we need to talk. It's 2025. Everyone should be using butt wipes, but not regular wipes.

[B]

Good wipes.

[A]

Because once you try good wipes, you will not go back. They're super soft, made for sensitive skin, smell amazing, and they're actually flushable. Dry toilet paper just feels rude. Your butt deserves better, so grab good wipes next time you're in the toilet paper aisle at Target, Walmart, Kroger, or your local store. All right, let's talk about Tinder.

[B]

Or better yet, that deliciously dulu stage.

[A]

Of having a new crush. When you have that kind of CR.

[B]

On someone, they could send you a.

[A]

Hey, smiley face on the worst day of your life and boom, suddenly everything's okay. It's true that a fun crush will have you romanticizing everything.

[B]

They're just magic like that.

[A]

And finding that feeling is easier than you think. Thanks to Tinder. Explore all of the possibilities for yourself. Tinder.

[B]

It starts with a swipe.

[A]

Download Tinder today. Hi, welcome to Cheers. I'm your host, Avery Woods.

[B]

Welcome back to the hot seat.

[C]

Thank you.

[B]

Guys. We're joining you late at night. Well, late at night for me, it's like 7:30pm I can I consider it late at night because my kids are asleep and we're in Scott's place. Scott has a cutie place. And we were like, let's do a girls night. Perfect opportunity for a fun little pod episode. Because, you know, sometimes it's nice to just chill and chit chat and I'm not like, on and interviewing people. I could just, like, relax. We got some THC.

[C]

Heavy.

[B]

What?

[C]

Beverage.

[B]

Beverage, yeah. What's it called? 1908, 1904, 1906.

[C]

Theory. I was born. Yeah, no, six.

[B]

We'll insert a clip here, but we just took a shot of that, so I'm sure we'll get progressively higher. We're just taking a little break from alcohol, so we wanted to chillax Sober Sally and California sober. Correct?

[C]

Absolutely.

[B]

And I thought it would be kind of fun to ask you guys to ask me questions. God, am I already getting high? I'm actually concerned. We did a little Q A and it. We thought it would be fun for Scotty to ask me some questions because no one ever asked me questions. Not like I want to, because I'm.

[C]

Well, I mean, you also have a lot of new followers. Like, people want to get to know you and, like, ask the. The deep, deep questions. Because they didn't. They didn't. They didn't pull back. Like, these are pretty good questions.

[B]

Yeah. And also, I feel like it's not as fun when I do my own Q and A for a solo episode because I'm the one, like, reading through.

[C]

All of the questions, you know? All the questions. Yeah.

[B]

And so I know what they are. And like, obviously I've thought about them, whereas when you ask me, I don't look at a screen, so I have no idea. So I'm just answering in the moment. Hence why I took that shot.

[C]

Absolutely needed that to relax a little, give me some comfort.

[B]

I was just looking down at my nail because I. I have guys, I have a hellacious week ahead of me. And I'm not.

[C]

You should actually say your schedule. It's terrible.

[B]

I'm not complaining by any means, because busy is good. That means I'm working. I am able to provide for my family. I'm so grateful for that, especially in this industry. You just never know. I'm. I'm 30 now, you know, like, I'm close to retirement age, so. On social media at least. So anywho says the first trip is a pleasure trip, a fun trip?

[C]

Yep.

[B]

It's. Dave and I are going to Napa with two of our closest friends and we're so excited because we've never been to Napa and we're such huge wine people. I'm like, like, California sober. We're going to Napa this weekend.

[C]

He said, let's get up.

[B]

But Dave and I are really excited because we haven't had a trip that's not work related in God knows how long.

[C]

I can't remember even the last one you guys went on.

[B]

No, it's business related. Well, the fantasy football draft party, but that's like Vegas for a couple days where the boys are doing their football. That. That's. That feels more like a trip for me. Whereas Napa is relaxing. Well, at least I'm told. I've never been.

[C]

That's true.

[B]

But Deb and David, who are. Are very dear friends that are quite literally twice our age and the best people in the world. They know so many people in Napa, and they're big wine connoisseurs. So they planned a whole weekend for us, which was so special because I just get to show up and look cute and drink wine. So I'm very excited. But then we get home and I'm home for less than 12. No, less than like 20 hours, I think. And I have to leave for New York City. I'm literally dropping the kids off at school and Going straight to the airport. So I have my luggage in my bag and my car and going to New York to shoot two different things that I am not allowed to say yet. Come home after 48 hours. And 24 hours later we leave for unwell Vegas. So I'm gone from Friday to the next Monday with 24 hours between both trips. I know. However, the only thing getting me through it is because a. It just so happened that all the fell in the same week and I just.

[C]

No, true.

[B]

I. I think it's. I'm excited about all of it. It's just the fact that it's like boom, boom, boom stresses me out. So I gotta make sure I keep up with my immunity because I do not want to get sick.

[C]

No.

[B]

And I also our. We're supposed to move into our house the week after that. And you know how it's been for me. I'm. There's some Q&As about that I'm losing my. And every day feels like eternity as it gets pushed. And now we have like a set firm date that it's going to be done. So I'm like, I just need to get through this week. Which it's going to make everything go by fast because it's going to be so busy work wise. Then when we get back on and be like I have one week, get everything ready and prepared for the move in.

[C]

I'm so excited.

[B]

And then the holidays.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And I don't do travel during the holidays unless it's like a serious work obligation or family travel.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

But like Ziggy's birthday's on Halloween and then Thanksgiving and Christmas and all the things. The whole point of me saying this. Wow, what a detour. I'm so sorry. Was I looked out at my nails and realized how absolutely atrocious they are because I put these on on the flight to Arizona for that shoot that I did. That's like three weeks at least.

[C]

Which slit have they lasted?

[B]

And I had to rip them off my nails today. And because I'm doing a fresh set tomorrow before I go to Napa. But all of a sudden I take off this guy tell me why my nail is green. I'm 99% sure that's fucking mold or something. That's criminal. Are you scared? It has nothing to do with the type of nail, the brand, anything. It's 100 my fault. Because that just means I didn't glue it down all the way. Like it wasn't sealed. And so water must have gotten under the nail and Then it sat for a while. There is no other reason why my nail is green. That's atrocious.

[C]

Well, I saw on the hot tub today, I was like, damn, did you crush your finger in a door or something? And she said, no, it's mold.

[B]

At least I think, like, right.

[C]

I mean, if you pressed on it, it would hurt if it was a bruise. No, it's not a bruise. I genuinely.

[B]

I think I would remember if I.

[C]

Well, it's like your nail would fall off too if it got squished. Yeah, I feel like that would at least happen. God, what are you guys doing?

[B]

Everyone stay away from me for a while. No, I gotta put nails back on tomorrow.

[C]

I guess we'll know if your fingernail falls off.

[B]

Yeah, it's fine. We can just put the press on straight on the skin.

[C]

Oh, that sounds like a Saw movie. That just sounds painful as shit.

[B]

Oh, my God. Anyways, what's new with you?

[C]

Oh, my God. I literally feel like nothing, but I feel like since the last time I was on the podcast, a lot has changed.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Obviously, we're in California now a few years, and can I just say, the men here are just. It's a different. It's a different experience.

[B]

Scott's been at it. Yeah. You guys have to understand, Scott has been in a very conservative LDS state city area his entire life.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

As a gay person. And he's never been able to like, fully let loose and explore. And he is living his best life.

[C]

Guys, they are a different breed. They're just. Everyone's hot.

[B]

The type of men that you bring home, genuinely award winning. Like.

[C]

No, I appreciate that.

[B]

You really. You really got game. It's incredible.

[C]

I am very lucky. There's a lot of gorgeous, gorgeous men. Literally six houses down. Yo, it's wonderful.

[B]

Should we go knock on their door later?

[C]

Down. Should we ask them to come on the pod?

[B]

Probably.

[C]

I'm doing foray.

[B]

We're like, come back. There's like two random people sitting right here. Tell me your name.

[C]

Could you imagine their interview name? Scott Soak up.

[B]

Oh, I would if I wasn't so socially awkward. But unfortunately, I don't think I can handle a conversation like that right now.

[C]

This is a stranger.

[B]

Yeah. So anyway, Scott's been getting down and busy. I've been crying in my house and raising my kids.

[C]

Your house almost fell apart, but thank God for insurance and people covering it and fixing things.

[B]

Yeah, it's been a rough journey. I have to say that one thing.

[C]

That you said when you sent me a voicemail when your house was leaking and you said that your teacher was a goddamn community, he said Stevie was doing the backstroke.

[B]

No, I literally was like, if anyone needs to practice their backstroke right now, go ahead and try it between the island and the kitchen sink because it's fucking four feet deep. Oh my God. If you guys don't know what I'm talking about. We are renovating our entire house. We took everything down. When we took down Ziggy's bathroom, they were like, hey, you're gonna need to replace your roof. It's gonna leak when it rains. Like, this is an old ass roof. Our house is built in the 60s. And we were like, well, hold on. We were told by the realtor that our roof was replaced in 20, 22 and it passed inspection. No, they just painted over it. So very unexpectedly, we had to replace our entire roof. Which, as if this renovation didn't cost enough, let's just, we'll get into that in the Q A. Anywho, this is. What are you gonna do, not replace your roof? When I'm paying so much money to renovate this house, I'm so grateful. Like, designing it, Dreaming it, or sorry. Oh, oh, designing it. Making my dreams come true is incredible. But also I'm like, if I don't replace this roof right now, and it's getting cold, like fall's coming, you can tell there's really foggy mornings, you've gotten some rain, then the entire interior is going to get destroyed. So I'm like, we have to do it now. So you rip the band aid off, replace the roof. There was a bunch of and problems that came with that because there were some permit issues from the previous owner. It was a whole thing. And so we finally get the roof replaced. It takes a month. They it passes inspection, by the way, for the permit, which means it's fully done and sealed. 24 hours after it passes inspection, we have our first rain. And I, we're dropping the kids off at school. I verbatim goes, go, thank God they finished the inspection on the finished roof. Because it rained last night. And he's like, I know, right? And after we drop the kids off, our routine is on the way home, we stop at the new house and see who's there, what's what works going on, whatever. And we walk in the kitchen and there's a fucking community pool on my floor. And I look up and the entire kitchen roof is leaking. Like the area where the AC unit is on top of the house, it's all leaking. And we had custom cabinets that took months to be made, installed a week prior. And the cabinets go all the way to the ceiling from the counter. And all of the water was sitting on the face of those cabinets the entire night. And they were all wilted and completely ruined. As well as the face of the lower cabinets because it was dripping down. And so they were all wilted. And then the community pool area was just sitting on top of that brand new installed wood and it was all warped.

[A]

So I also had to get completely replaced.

[B]

So Dave and I literally just sit in the kitchen and laughed. We were like. Because if we do not laugh, we will cry 100 or I will be a raging. So whoever needs to have a conversation. I was not to be messed with that day. But you know what? Thank God our contractor. Because our contractor didn't do our roof. People are like thinking that no, a roofer is completely different from a contractor. A contractor was there within 20 minutes because we were calling the roofing company and they were not answering. They eventually got there and everything's fixed and great. But our contractor ran in, helped helped us clean it up. He opened up this. He got the cabinet guy to take the cabinets down, opened up the ceiling, try to see where it was coming from. And then the roof people came and then. Yeah. Anyways, that's the story about my roof. I did not need to go into that much detail.

[C]

No. I feel like it was necessary.

[B]

But that was what we were going through and now we're less than a month from moving in.

[C]

Yes.

[B]

That's all that matters.

[C]

I feel like we're on set. Like there should be no hiccups from this.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

And a lot of just final details.

[B]

We have a gorgeous, gorgeous pod studio slash office for me and Scotty.

[C]

Oh my God. The first episode. There's gonna eat.

[B]

I'm so excited. And it's just gonna be really special. There's like a bar in there and there's like a desk for a desktop. Because I really want to get more into YouTube especially like as the renovations finishing. I'm not as busy. I love long form blogging. It's just really fun for me. And Scott edits for it. So like you can have an editing spot there. So we have a couch to record solo episodes. And it's a pull out couch to extra guest space.

[C]

Absolutely.

[B]

Utilizing.

[C]

Absolutely.

[B]

And yeah. So it's getting there.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And Scott's just getting dicked down.

[C]

Yeah. That's all my life update.

[B]

That's a life update.

[C]

Yeah. Can't complain.

[B]

Get money, get Money.

[C]

And I live by that.

[B]

Oh, should we do these questions?

[C]

Yes.

[B]

I'm kind of scared.

[C]

I feel like we should, because we have quite a bit.

[B]

Do we?

[C]

We're gonna be busy for the next little bit.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

We're gonna start off light, and it's gonna be very much a good mixture of, like, saucy, funny, Serious advice. It's going to be a good mixture of. Okay, the first one. A great question. Favorite gardening foods and activities.

[B]

Shit. Can I be honest? Activities, Cleaning and organizing.

[C]

Dude, I'm in the zone when I'm high. Oh, my God.

[B]

Yeah. You know, if you, like, take an edible or melt or whatever shot like we did and start something that you, like, really need to get done, and it kicks in like, you are in the zone.

[C]

Absolutely.

[B]

You can stop me from taking a toothbrush to the grout in my wood flooring. Like, I get so into it, but, like, after the kids are in bed, it's like, God, it was such a long day. I do not want to get up and clean this house or do the dishes or whatever. But, like, that helps me so much. I agree to just get done and organize food. So many options. I love something savory, like jalapeno cheetos. Also, like, the first thing that came to mind was a chili triple dipper.

[C]

No, stop. I'm gonna actually get emotional.

[B]

Ziggy asked for Chili's tonight for dinner. Do you know why? He loves her corn on the cob.

[C]

Everything. The corn on the cob. King loves his fruits and veggies, though.

[B]

Dude, that he needs to go back to Disneyland. Most kids are like the churro, the carameled apple, the Mickey Mouse Rice Krispy tree. Mom, I want to go watch a Disneyland for the corn on the c. It's so good. I'm like, you know what, King?

[C]

He's like Tarzan.

[B]

Yeah, he is.

[C]

He literally outside playing with his long, toned hair. Like, literally has, like, perfect highlights, tan as eating fruits and veggies, swinging around in the backyard, like, he's everything. He's literally living his best life.

[B]

Yeah, he really is.

[C]

Okay, next question. How do you keep it fun and exciting in the bedroom?

[B]

Oh, love this. Well, I feel like not being afraid to try new things. And I always say, like, there are ways to do that. There are, like, card games now of, like, trying new positions or, like, kind of like a truth or dare with your significant other. That's kind of saucy. I also feel like if you had maybe like, a. A jar or a box, and you, like, wrote on Popsicle sticks or, like, little papers of, like, things you guys want to try, and then you, like, draw it. I feel like that's fun.

[C]

Love that.

[B]

Because sometimes it's hard to, like, say what you want to do with your significant other to your face, to their face.

[C]

It's so awkward.

[B]

It's intimidating, and it makes you kind of shy. So I feel like if you write it down, it's a little bit better.

[C]

I'm like, oh, my God.

[B]

Yeah. Or, like, sex throughout the day to kind of leave it up to it. I'd be like, this is what I want to do to you tonight.

[C]

Love it. Yeah. Obsessed. Okay. How did you decide to go all in on social media, financially, brand consistently management? Like, what made you officially, like, want to go all in on social media?

[B]

That's a great question. Well, the first thing was I had to make sure my family was taken care of. And it's so funny because I did both for so long. I don't think people realize that, like, I left nursing October of 2023 after working in the PICU for four years, and I had signed with my management the May prior to that. So I had over a million followers February of 2023, and was doing, you know, brand deals sufficient enough to support my family and then some. Like, obviously, I was making way more than I was as a nurse.

[C]

Totally.

[B]

But nursing was consistent. And not only that, like, my entire life, I wanted to be a nurse.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And so it was hard for me to leave because it was like I was mourning something that I always dreamed of doing. And I still miss it to this day. Like, I wasn't fully ready to let go of that. I feel like I kind of had to because it was getting a little, like, lines were being blurred when it came to, like, patients recognizing me. Like, patients, parents. And the same thing happened with David in law enforcement. I feel like that just automatically puts a target on your back no matter what you're doing.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And so, yeah, I ended up signing with my management in May, and that was the first meeting I had where they were like, this is what you should be making for a brand deal. And I said I was, like. Not to be morbid, but, like, the shit I was doing in the picu.

[C]

Oh.

[B]

I think people don't understand the things you see as a PICU nurse, especially to level one trauma.

[C]

Like, well, dude, half the stories you've told me, you couldn't even say on the podcast.

[B]

No, I could not.

[C]

It would get flagged immediately.

[B]

Yeah. So. And I'm my Raise for the year year was. I think it was 73 cents or something. It wasn't even a dollar. And so I was like, I'm sorry, I should be making how much money? And it was all fine and dandy. And, like, I did so many brand deals and was saving so much money, but I was doing both at the same time. Still working as a nurse at in oh. I had gone to aesthetics by then, so I left PICU and I was working as an aesthetic nurse. But I was like, wow, to grow on social media, like, you have to be so consistent. And so I was like, I can't film when I'm at work. Or I have to film all my days off. I'm supposed to be with my kids and then go to work to be able to upload, because I'm obviously just signing with the management. And I'm like, trying to get brand deals and, like, stay relevant and do my job on social media, but also balance my job as a nurse. And so it wasn't until about probably six months in with my management that I kind of started filtering nursing out of my content and realizing people liked my personal life more or like, that was clicking with people more. And I was like, okay, I feel like I could do this. That was your thing too. Is. I was like, like, is this what you want to do? Like, do you want to do this? Because nursing gave me, like, normalcy.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

You know, And I also loved it. So I'm losing my trans.

[C]

I know I was gonna say it started to kick in.

[B]

So sorry. So. Oh. So the main thing that I was like, okay, I can do this was my boss, Litha at Quantum, who shout out to her. She's. I still go to see her for my Botox and my laser removal. Just the best person ever. She was like, we will always be here. Like, if this doesn't work out for you, I'll hire you right back. Like, I think you should try. And I was like, thank you for saying that, because I would have never taken the leap, because I would. I kept thinking, like, what if I can't get a nursing job after leaving still, though, the manager of my pick. You will text me. I'd be like, we miss you. Like, hey, one day a week. I'm like, I love you so much. But, yeah, no, not a chance. So, yeah, that. That really helped me because my priority is taking care of my family. I could give a shit about myself, but I want to make sure my kids are fed, they're in a great school, they have a Roof over their head. Like, that's what matters to me. And so when I realized it was going to be consistent and we also had enough money to save and invest and, you know, buy our home and do all the big responsible things that you do well, that you should do. We shouldn't have the ability to do it when we were nursing a cop, but, yeah. Did that make sense?

[C]

Absolutely.

[B]

I'm sorry, I'm just. I'm starting to ramble anyways. Sorry if that didn't make sense, but.

[C]

No, that totally made sense.

[B]

Yeah, it's. It's a very complex question. It wasn't just, like, a single moment. No, it was. I was building my following for, like, seven years, I think, at that point. Or attempting to. Like, I was. I was a nobody for a long time, but I was really trying. I was trying.

[C]

Look at you now.

[B]

And then when it finally happened, I was like, wait, is this what I want?

[C]

Dude, I could not imagine that fear. Like, you have no idea. Like, is this gonna. What if. Is this consistent? Is this gonna do? Like, yeah. So much unknown.

[B]

Isn't that insane?

[C]

But you took that leap of faith.

[B]

Yeah, I did. I did.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

Oh, no.

[C]

What is your biggest online regret?

[B]

We really have to say. Oh, my God. When I threw a temper tantrum when I cut my hair, what the was I thinking? And it looks like a million bees from a beehive close by stung my lips. Because the amount of filler in my face, I look back at that and I'm like, not only did you cry for a hour on your tick tock stories because you're a too much of a to post it on your actual feed, but you look terrible. You don't even look cute.

[C]

I love that haircut.

[B]

And you know, you know the only reason I cried? Because I'm like, yeah, they're a hundred percent right. I look like Lord Far God. Because my insecurities were like, yeah, you look crazy. And so I'm gonna cry online about it. What a idiot.

[C]

Grand for, though. Great answer. Bravo.

[B]

And you know what I did? I drove all the way home from Scottsdale. 45 minutes. And right before I turn on to get into the house, I pulled into QT to park my car in the gas station parking lot, record myself crying, post it, and then drive home. Needing attention much?

[C]

Hey, it's okay. Sometimes we need it. Sometimes we need it.

[B]

God, I hate that version of myself. Thank God for therapy.

[C]

Look at you now.

[B]

I feel bad for her.

[C]

You can give her a hug now and say, it's okay.

[B]

Everything's I wouldn't be able to squeeze tight enough because her filler punch me in the face. God damn it.

[C]

Let's eat now. Let's eat. I think they look amazing.

[B]

I know someone asked me recently if I got him refilled. I said no. I just overland like a as you.

[C]

Should look at also I'm like, you.

[B]

Don'T think I would record that to get more attention?

[C]

That should have been blocked.

You guys, I am so excited for fall.

[B]

You have no idea.

[A]

Decorating my house, making delicious warm baked goods that are all pumpkin, spice flavors, apple pies, just, you name it, I'm on it. I even got a fall apron because the baking is going down. I will say as a busy working mom, sometimes it can be a little bit difficult for me to get my grocery shopping done. Sometimes stocking up on all things pumpkin or grabbing ingredients for your favorite fall.

[C]

Potential. Cheers with Avery tour coming up.

[B]

Yeah, we talked about that. I would love to do it. I think I would want to stay pretty local or, like, keep it small just because I won't make my kids travel with me. School is very important for us, and it's important for me that they have consistency and routine in a home. And, you know, I try to travel as little as possible or, like, do my trips in bulk.

[C]

Yeah, no. Yeah. You know, like stacked get done.

[B]

But so I. I would definitely try it out. I would maybe do like five or eight shows. Maybe local or around.

[C]

I was gonna say. Yeah. Your demographic is also so large in la.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Arizona. So that's.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Close by. So I feel like that'd be really great.

[B]

Yeah. But I feel like it would be really fun. I don't know how I'd want to pose it. Like, I would. I wouldn't want to do, like, a show, like a. A musical situation that's not really me. And, like, God help me if you, like, help you guys if you have to watch me dance. Like, you're not gonna catch me dead. No, no, no. So I don't know. I don't know if I would want to, like. I don't know if I would want to interview people. I feel like I'd want to be, like, interactive.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I don't know. Yes, I'm open for a tour under those guidelines.

[C]

Love. Amazing guidelines.

[B]

Okay, great.

[C]

We're going a little saucy again. Favorite sex position.

[B]

Depends on my mood. I mean, I just love a good doggy just because. And I can use my Amazon vibrator.

[C]

God, that still.

[B]

God, that girl's been.

[C]

Since episode one like, that. We've talked about how stunning that thing is.

[B]

That girl has been through it. I actually had to order a charger the other day. Well, okay. The reason it was a new one that was actually funny. David was, like, loading up boxes, and it was like the top was a fucking vibrator. And I was like, oh, he's got. Sorry. No, but I couldn't find my charger anywhere for it. And they didn't sell the fucking charger separately, of course, so we had to buy a whole new one. And David goes, the way you have made that so popular, it's like, almost triple in price since I first started buying it. Pretty sure it was like 9.99, and now it's like 30 or 40 bucks.

[C]

Stupid.

[B]

For what reason stupid? Yeah, it's not acceptable, honestly. Another one is reverse cowgirl.

[C]

Oh, God. See, that's too much work. Too much work.

[B]

If it's leg day, you can't catch me dead. I'm not doing anything. I'm laying like a dead fish.

[C]

Absolutely.

[B]

I can't even lift my legs up when I do leg day. I'm like. Sorry. I'm like.

[C]

Especially when you're in Pilates doing all that you're doing.

[B]

Oh, yeah. Always working.

[C]

Oh, I like this question. Why are you getting rid of some of your tattoos? I feel like that's a lot of questions I've been seeing a lot lately.

[B]

Well, it's. You know what's interesting? All of the tattoos I'm keeping were tattoos that I've thought about for a very long time.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

All of the Tattoos I'm getting rid of were like flash sheets or in the moment or I was just bored and was like, let's get a tattoo.

[C]

Totally.

[B]

None of them have meaning behind them. I feel like the dice kind of did a little bit, because on the face of the dice, I put a six and a one for Dave and I's anniversary. I hate the placement of it.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I have. I'm trying to clear pretty much the entire outside of my arms, except my seashell that's in the back. I have the silhouette of the woman right here, which I love.

[C]

Love that one.

[B]

And then I have the bow on my right deltoid. But everything else. But everything else was just, like, a wave cherry. A cowboy hat. Like, what the did you get a cowboy hat for? That's.

[C]

She's an AZ girl.

[B]

Yeah. So I just feel like I'm just in a different era, love. And I just want a more clean, maybe cohesive look.

[C]

Obsessed.

[B]

And it hurts.

[C]

And you also found a really good place that does it too.

[B]

Oh.

[C]

So I feel like that is also, like, another, like, deal breaker.

[B]

Like, if it's painful, shout out to Victoria Paris for that. Because when she was on the pod, I was like, where are you getting your tattoos removed? They looked so insanely light after one session. And she was like, dude, you have to go to Ruth Swizza. Yep. She is incredible.

[C]

Everyone there is so sweet.

[B]

Her daughter is the PA Removing my tattoos. Like, the smartest, most beautiful kids that help her run her business.

[A]

Love them.

[C]

I love this question. What is one thing about your kids that make you so proud?

[B]

Oh, my God. Why are you guys trying to make me so emotional? Well, for both of them, I can genuinely say my kids are so kind. Like, they are never the mean kids. They're never putting anyone down. Ziggy is the most empathetic soul in the entire world. Like, he. There was a daddy long leg in the garage, and David, like, smacked it. And Ziggy was like, dad, he's just an innocent bug. Like, he loves everyone and everything. And, like, he caught it. You saw him. He caught a frog in the backyard today. Wanted to hold him.

[C]

Best friend.

[B]

He is such a sweet and kind soul. And, yeah, so I love that Stevie is also the sweetest girl in the world, but she is so wickedly smart.

[C]

Oh, 100%.

[B]

Like, she. When she came home the other day. She's only been in school since the end of August. And they take both French, French and Spanish. Both of them at school. And I'm filling up the bathtub And I hear her singing an entire song in French, like, perfectly clear. I was like, who are you? You've been in French for a few weeks. Like, it was insane. So she is so smart. And I know she's gonna do a lot.

[C]

Absolutely.

[B]

They both will. But, yeah, also, she's also so kind. And she always compliments people.

[C]

Oh, everybody, Everyone.

[B]

Like, even the video we sent you, she's like, I want to send doggy a video that she calls him doggy. And she's like, you're so handsome, doggy.

[C]

She's the sweetest angel. They both are.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I love this question. Best thing that's come from moving to la.

[B]

Well, it's so hard because I feel like I have personal benefits and also work benefits. I would say, work wise, being. Well, actually, it ties in both work and personal. Being able to spend so much more time with my kids. Like, we would have to travel for almost every podcast episode. Like, we're recording three podcast episodes this week. And it's literally while my kids are in school, they don't even know what I'm doing.

[C]

No.

[B]

So I get to drop them off in the morning, go to Pilates, go home, get ready, do work. Whether it's a meeting, filming an ad for social media, doing the podcast. Always finish to be able to pick my kids up from school. My phone is put away. We spend the evening as a family, cook dinner, go on the Jacuzzi like we did tonight, and then I get to put them down. Like, that is such a privilege to be able to do that. So, yeah, the proximity to work, that also ties in being able to spend more time at home.

[C]

Love. Do you ever see yourself going back to full blonde?

[B]

No, never. My hair always fades, and my hair grows so fast that I can't keep up with the upkeep of the root. Touch up.

[C]

And your hair is thick.

[B]

Yeah, she's a thick girl.

[C]

Thick as. Hey, I love this. I'm so. I feel like a lot of people will be able to relate to this. I'm so stuck in life. How to get unstuck financially. We were crumbling and I cannot manage.

[B]

Oh, I've been there. I remember being like, I can't even look forward to anything or tell myself it's going to be okay because I have no way to fix this. Put one foot in front of the other, grind every day and just know it will get easier. It just takes time and things come up unexpectedly. But also, be the hardest worker in the room and, you know, put yourself or get yourself through it. Work your way through rather than around because it does pay off. And I 100 people can say whatever they want, but I 100 attribute us being able to get out of that position and me like majorly changing our life financially was. I was always the hardest worker in the room.

[C]

Absolutely.

[B]

And I still feel like I'm that way. Like I grind. And people don't see that behind the scenes. But that was also with the whole nursing thing. Totally, like busting my ass on social media while still maintaining a full time job as a nurse and balancing it as a mom. Like I was grinding. But I had a goal, I knew what I wanted and I was like, I never want to feel financially stressed again. No, the worst feeling.

[C]

That feeling is the worst.

[B]

So worst. But just grind. Keep your eye on the prize. Put one foot in front of the other. Wake up every day and as long as you go to bed every night knowing you're doing your best and working as hard as you can, that's all that matters and you'll get through it.

[C]

Love it. I love this question too. What's one thing you're nervous about raising your kids in such a dark world?

[B]

Oh my God. Honestly, everything. Like totally. I, I, we still talk about, you know, do we want another baby? I don't really know. But the way that the world is now, I'm like, I don't know if I want to even bring another child into this world.

[C]

It just feels so dark lately.

[B]

Everything, everything. And it's not even Internet related. I feel like people just don't have manners anymore. Like people just are not kind and it blows my mind. I don't care what I'm going through in my personal life. I don't care how someone treats me. Like, I will always be kind, respectful. I will never be too good for that. And I'll just never, I'll just never understand. Also, like social media, that scares the out of me.

[C]

Totally.

[B]

Because we're not going to let our kids have social media till they're 18. But even at 18, it's like the online bullying of like that comes from school. Of the stories that David and I have heard, you know, in different work situations where it's like a girl on Facebook told me to take my life, you know.

[C]

Totally.

[B]

That kind of freaks me out. Snapchat. Especially like with nudes and stuff like that.

[C]

Forever.

[B]

That scares the out of me. Yeah. I don't know.

[C]

No, that's a great, that's a great answer. So many things.

[B]

But I guess all I all that we can do And Dave and I talk about this is teach our kids to be the best human beings they possibly can. To respect one another no matter who they are, where they come from, what they look like, and also give them a good head on their shoulders. And it doesn't matter what influence comes in on them. They know who they are and where they came from. And also have such a close and open relationship and not a non judgmental relationship where we can be open and communicate where they can come to us if something does come about or if someone's doing or saying something to them. Like that's what I hope for them.

[C]

Love. I feel like you're teaching them to be the light in this dark ass world.

[B]

Oh, I hope so. God.

[C]

I like this question because I feel like this is going to debunk so many things. How much of your life do we actually see?

[B]

Oh, such a small amount, to be honest. Especially now. Oh, like I've changed content so much. Less than 5%. Would you say that's pretty accurate? Like if I post my one tick tock a day and it's me going to the grocery store. Like that was 30 minutes of my day.

[C]

And. And a two minute vlog.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Literally 5%.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. So I mean a very small amount. But I also, I've just learned to protect my peace and live in the moment. Rather totally record something. And people can think otherwise, but it's kind of funny because they would see a lot more of my life, you know? So I don't know. I just, I am just trying to choose peace right now. And I feel like that protects my piece. Just sharing what I want to share and moments I find special. But also things I love like fashion and skin care and beauty and the house. So yeah.

[C]

Love that.

[B]

A very small amount.

[C]

Love.

[B]

Which I'm Scott can attest to.

[C]

Yeah. What was one thing about your remodel that you did not realize was going to be so goddamn expensive?

[B]

Everything. Absolutely everything.

[C]

So many unexpected things.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Which is so normal. Oh my God.

[B]

And I'll never. I'm never. I'm gonna be like, I will always be like Selena. We're like, I'm not going to talk about numbers that I. That I earned. It's just I know when people are in a hard ass working job and making money, literally what I do is ridiculous. And I will never forget that. Oh, never do deck me straight in my nose job ruin that would never.

[C]

I would never.

[B]

But here's the thing. You know your contractor like gives you an estimate and that's Just, like, labor costs, you know? And then you hired interior designer, and that's a fee. And then what's missing is all of the material for the home that the contractor is hiring for labor. Right. So, like, you have a tile guy come in. You have a floor guy come in. You have a countertop guy come in. But you have to buy the floor and tile and countertop, Right? Yeah. So then you have, like, your cabinet guy. Then you have, like, your painters.

[C]

Electrician.

[B]

Electrician. Love me. Our guy George. He's there every day. I love George. He's our plumber. So anyways, yeah. And then we did sell our house fully furnished in Arizona. So then we were like, holy. We don't have a single furniture item. Actually, I did take two items of furniture, and those are my nightstands because I just bought them from McGee & Co, which ain't cheap. And they're green and really cute. So I brought those. Oh. In my anthropology.

[C]

Yeah. So three other great thing.

[B]

But everything else, we were like, holy. We literally are starting from scratch. So the question was. So, sorry, off track. What did I not expect to be so expensive? Plumbing, which is like, faucets, like, the fixtures and stuff.

[C]

Yeah, gotcha.

[B]

Like, when I found out how much, my kitchen faucet was like, just, like, to wash my dishes, because of course, it had to be brass to match all my handles. I was like, for what reason? 100 interior doors. It's a piece of wood. It's not that special. I just wrote that check today. I told you that. Ouch. Because apparently when your house is old and it settles, every door frame is a different shape and size, so they have to, like, custom saw. Really do you. Good quality wallpaper. Holy.

[C]

Yeah. That's crazy.

[B]

Stevie's room, just, like, the four walls, the whole thing's being wallpapered. Her room is a very normal size, an ungodly amount.

[C]

The little pause spoke spoke for itself.

[B]

I will say. The wallpaper guys were like, this is really good quality wallpaper.

[C]

And I was like, thank God.

[B]

And he goes, yeah. And I was like, thank you. I actually felt so bad because our. Our walls were textured and Stevie's room, and so the poor guys had to plaster the entire wall to smooth it out. They did, like, two days of coating before the wallpaper. I was like, I'm so sorry, but it looks. Actually, I'm paid for that labor, so. Sure you should, but thank you. They were literally did such a beautiful job, dude.

[C]

Everything down to the tiniest little details are being done to perfection. It's so beautiful.

[B]

They're killing it. And I've done peel and stick wallpaper in the past. It's a mess. Worth it. 100. Hiring someone to do that.

[C]

Absolutely.

[B]

And they did an incredible job. I would never be able to do it, but yeah, I would say like plumbing was really expensive. Oh, we ended up not doing real marble on any of the countertops and did. What's it called, Porcelain.

[C]

Something like that.

[B]

We were quoted, you guys, for marble. Actually, I'll tell this price because I absolutely lutely did not pay this. I refused. So the countertops would be for the kitchen, which is the kitchen island. The surrounding countertops where like the stove is. And then the coffee bar and then.

[C]

The backsplash of it.

[B]

And then no. Oh yeah. The backsplash on the kitchen. And then the podcast bar, which is a very small bar. And then the countertops for Ziggy and Stevie's vanity. We were just going to use extra from the kitchen because their vanities are tiny, because their bathrooms are quite small. It was almost $70,000. I said, you know, it's looking pretty good right now. The fake. The man made the other thing too, that I was like, okay, this isn't even worth it for me. You have to put this like coating over it or else it literally stains with anything. Soda. You put something hot on it. So we got like the indestructible. I think it's porcelain.

[C]

It's something like that. It's you. You'll be so much happier. Yeah, it's cheaper and it's more just. And like it's indestructible.

[B]

It was less than a quarter of the cost. It's indestructible, which is perfect.

[C]

Like it's.

[B]

It's identical. It looks identical to what it would look like. It's exactly what I had on my Pinterest board. And it's perfect for the kids bathroom sink because you literally can't it up. So yeah. That was an so unexpected. Also investing in quality furniture. Oh my God. So expensive.

[C]

Insane. Love this question too. What that mouth like, Is that David?

[B]

How did I know he'd participate 15 questions.

[C]

You already just knew how to catch it so quick. He looks at what that mouth.

[B]

It's full of horse teeth. As you would say.

[C]

How are you and Scotty handling all the amazing changes within your career?

[B]

How are you handling. Can you answer that first?

[C]

Great. God, I've been the most beautiful stay on the planet.

[B]

Are you sure?

[C]

I think the other thing that I'm obsessed with is living In Arizona, we obviously had to come here. It felt like three times a month almost. Yes. Everybody lives here. So the convenience for work to be able to just go to the studio and be back by 3 o'. Clock. Sometimes we're home at like 1 o'. Clock.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Seriously, like, it is so convenient. And my absolute favorite thing is being able to just go on walks every night. And it's 60 degrees. I'm wearing hoodies every night. Like.

[B]

Yeah, I was gonna say the weather is huge.

[C]

Oh yeah, the beach. Oh, having the beach 20 minutes away.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Life changing.

[B]

There's also so much more to do. Like so many. You can go to a new coffee shop and restaurant every day.

[C]

Oh, the restaurants is something that I'm obsessed with here. The food is so good.

[B]

I also feel like you have a much better community that's more embracive and less judgmental here.

[C]

Oh, I. Everybody. I love everybody here. Everyone's so kind. When you go to a grocery store, a restaurant, I feel like a lot of people. There are some places, obviously we still do through budgets here and there, but I feel like a lot of people like just walking around. Like even in the neighborhood, everyone's so friendly. Like my neighbors will like wave to me and ask how I'm doing. Like, everyone's so kind.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Which I'm obsessed with.

[B]

And I also feel like working career wise, you know, everything I do, I like Scotty to be a part of because like I always tell him, as I grow, he grows. And so I feel like there's been a lot more work event opportunities, which is fun for you because you like to get creative with photography on top of production. And so having him with me to. We've been working on like kind of elevating more high quality photos on the gram and you know, planning things a little more strategically. So we like to game plan. Like we always have goals that we want to reach. You set goals, you want to do different things with editing or YouTube or whatever the case may be. And then I'll bounce ideas off you as well. And we do so many different things together that it is nice. And yeah, wherever I go, you go.

[C]

I also feel like we have such better work life balance here because we don't have. We're not working nearly as much as we did in Arizona, where I feel like it was like planning the trip, doing the trip. Like, yes. So much prep goes into it. Like, oh, come over tonight. We need to book hotels. This, this, like it's so much less that goes into it. It's like we record and then I go home and do everything I need to get done. Like, it's so. I feel like it has. It's so much better, in my opinion.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah.

[C]

Love that. I love this question. Biggest brand deal offer you've ever turned down.

[B]

I won't say the company Smart.

[C]

Yeah. Oh, yeah, totally.

[B]

But I'll say the product, it was a virtual reality headset. Listen, would you ever imagine me doing virtual reality?

[C]

Absolutely not.

[B]

The only video game I'm going to be playing is Mario Kart on the switch with my kids. That's it.

[C]

Which you eat at, by the way.

[B]

So they offered me. There was quite a bit of deliverables. I will say they wanted, like, multiple posts. I don't even remember the specifics. It was so long ago. But the offer was. And I said no. I'm sorry. It doesn't align with my brand. Like, I'm not gonna promote something that's authentic to me.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Because imagine me putting that headset on and being like, guys, it's so fun, you know? And I'm like, playing vlog. No, it's not me.

[C]

Just doesn't make sense.

[B]

Not gonna be me.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And they literally came back to my team and said, name her price. What? What does she want? Still said, no.

[C]

Which. Such a flex. Such a flex to you because you are so true to, like, the products that you promote.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

That you have partnerships with. Even you genuinely love and have stock in your house.

[B]

Oh, yeah. And even. I also, like, if it's a brand that I love and support, you know, obviously my management's job is to, like, negotiate what you're making for a brand deal and you have, like, your rates. Even if a brand that I am obsessed with and I genuinely love and use every day offers me a quarter of my rate, you know, I always say yes because I'm going to use it anyway. I talk about it anyway. I'm so grateful to even have this as my job.

[C]

Totally.

[B]

I. I'm gonna use the product. Like, thank you. Absolutely. You know, even. I mean, I'm even always like, thank you for the free product 100 PR too. Because it's like, hey, we gotta. We saving money too.

[C]

Absolutely.

[B]

So anyways, yeah, I just. It just didn't feel right to me. And so, yeah, I. I turned it down, love, but it just wasn't. I'm not a VR girl. I'm sorry. And if you were, that's awesome and super cool. But.

[C]

Yeah. What is the most annoying rumor about you?

[B]

That I got fired As a nurse.

[C]

Oh, God.

[B]

That I barely worked for as a nurse.

[C]

That pissed me off for real.

[B]

Wait, what was another one recently? Oh, that I stopped showing my kids because I didn't want to pay them that.

[C]

Can I just say, that literally kills me.

[B]

I'm like, they make a full salary whether they're or offline. 100 has nothing to do with that. It's simple as that. No. And they have fatty accounts.

[C]

They're fine.

[B]

They'll be okay.

[C]

They're doing good.

[B]

They'll be okay.

[C]

I. Someone asked this question and I was trying to think, so maybe you can help me. They said, scotty, what's the most outrageous thing you've had to do for your job? I'm trying to think, is there something.

[B]

That I'm like, I'm naked around him constantly just because we're always traveling.

[C]

That was a question.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Because have you seen each other naked?

[B]

I have not seen him naked.

[C]

She immediately switched to that.

[B]

So here's the thing. And the reason I say like, he doesn't want, like, he obviously has never been into women. He knew he was gay when he was 9. And the reason it's not like I'm like trying to be around him naked is that we travel so much together. 100, always in the same hotel room.

[C]

And sometimes we're in like a.

[B]

Or like if I'm at a photo shoot, I'm doing five outfit changes a day. The photographer is also seeing my teeth. Okay. So it's like, that's just great.

[C]

So who cares?

[B]

That's just the way it is. Also, Scott's like my family, so I don't feel like you've had to do like anything.

[C]

I know. I was trying to think if there's anything funny or like, crazy.

[B]

He had to go to a football game. Hated that.

[C]

Ask me anything sports related.

[C]

Oh, now that we're on this topic. Actually what I have beef with Michelle Obama. I have some past trauma that actually that was all the questions. By the way. We're ending this on a great topic. We're 55 minutes into this. This I have beef because we were talking about this on the way home from a podcast. I apparently have some past traumas that I haven't brought up. I guess that I need to talk with my therapist about.

[B]

Let's talk about it.

[C]

One thing, don't get me wrong. I love the Obamas. I think the Obamas are some of the most. He was probably the most iconic president we've ever had. I think he's amazing.

[B]

I think no matter who you voted for, people just miss that.

[C]

Everybody loved the Obamas.

[B]

Yes.

[C]

But here's where I have a little issue with Ms. Michelle. I remember in sixth grade I we I ate school lunches all the time. Even when my mom made me lunches I wouldn't even eat it. I went through the trash and eat school. They just ate. I'm sorry. They were so good.

[B]

And sometimes we just need a second meal.

[C]

100 I'm hungry.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I remember the day. I'm not joking you. I literally had a full blown panic attack because it was horrible. I remember seeing the hamburger buns. Whole wheat.

[B]

And keep in mind because of her healthy school meal, I'm in sixth grade.

[C]

I have no idea what president. I don't know what the hell is going on. And I hear Michelle Obama's trying to make us healthier. Our vending machine went from chips to Welch's fruit snacks, like, every. That. That was when life was like, I don't want to do this anymore. That is when I said, this is. This is it. I was in sixth grade.

[B]

It's too much for you.

[C]

And we were talking about it. We brought it up on the drive, and I said, apparently, I need to talk about this because, God, I have some past traumas I need to get through.

[B]

Listen, she was just trying to help. Do you know what really breaks my heart?

[C]

Tell me. Ellen DeGeneres.

[B]

Yeah. Just how everyone said she was mean.

[C]

Oh, I know, Jonah. It's so. I loved that show.

[B]

Oh. I watched it daily.

[C]

I would sob.

[B]

It made me. When the military Homecoming.

[C]

Oh, don't get. No, I'm gonna stop.

[B]

When my sister joined the military, it was like, a trigger for me. I was like. And I was like a teenager, like, so hormonal. Oh, my God. And then it came out that she was, like, terrible.

[C]

Totally. She left the country, too.

[B]

She's trying to get back, I heard.

[C]

Oh, is she?

[B]

Yeah, but I think it's really hard to, like, get your u. S. Citizenship back when you leave. Right.

[C]

Is her wife's name Porsche or Porsche Portia? It is Porsche.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Porsche.

[C]

Is it after the car or.

[B]

No, no, I think it's spelled like.

[C]

Oh, P O, R, P, R, T, I, A. Yeah.

[B]

Portillo.

[C]

Love. That's something I miss about Arizona.

[B]

Portillo. Chopped salads.

[C]

You're not gonna go to a Philly cheesesteak place and get a chopped salad? Their Philly cheesesteaks hit. Oh, you know what else I miss? Rubio's. Oh, I was drinking about that. Emotional. I miss those.

[B]

There is. I think there's a Rubio's, like, an hour and a half from here.

[C]

Same with Dutch, but it's bar. It's, like, hour and a half as well for Dutch. I'm sorry. Dutch eats the nearest black rocks. In what, San Diego?

[B]

Yeah, I got supplies at home.

[C]

Oh, I actually forgot about that. I need to come. Actually swing by and get a couple, because I.

[B]

They're not for sharing. I was just kidding.

[C]

That was all the questions, by the way.

[B]

That's it.

[C]

Do you want something more crazy?

[B]

I thought you said there was, like, funny ones.

[C]

Do you not think any of them are funny?

[B]

I forgot all of them, to be honest with you.

[C]

Anymore. Anymore.

[B]

Do you have any jokes? Ooh, I brought protein cookies. I'm gonna.

[C]

Okay. I was gonna say, I'm actually starving. Did you have dinner?

[B]

Yeah. But it was a teriyaki chicken bowl, so it's basically nothing.

[C]

This is totally giving Trisha Paytas and Ethan Clyde on Frenemies. At the end of other episodes, he was like. She was like, I want dominoes. And he was like, should we. That's literally what we're serving.

[B]

The dominoes.

[C]

Get those cinnamon with the frost that jizzle over it. That shit's so good. Oh my God.

[B]

I was such a fat ass growing up eating that that I wouldn't even drizzle because I was like, it's not enough frosting. So I just like drench it, dunk it so deep. I'm trying to be good. I'm down like quite a bit away.

[C]

From my shoe while you're not eating.

[B]

Whoa, I'm trusting. No, I am eating. I'm just eating like, oh, healthy.

[C]

I know a chopped salad.

[B]

I know a teriyaki chicken bowl.

[C]

We went to what's that one place, this amazing burger joint. What did you get?

[B]

Burger joint. The stand. Oh, I got a Chinese shop salad. Okay. But that is so good. I was actually craving that today. They're like vinegary dressing.

[C]

No, I guess I that as a side.

[B]

It's like this big. It's still lettuce and full of chicken. They're onion rings. Slap though.

[C]

Okay, I was gonna say that. Well, no, those ones have the slimier.

[B]

You don't eat onion rings.

[C]

Can't do onions.

[B]

Scott doesn't eat onions cuz he's 12.

[C]

It's the way my parents would say that all the time growing up. What are you, a kid? They're onions, I said. And they're nasty. But people say I reek like onions. And then you want to go, what, eat that? No, that doesn't make sense to me.

[B]

Onions add flavor. And if they're sauteed and done right. Do you like pickled onions?

[C]

Nothing. Not even onion powder.

[B]

Pickled onions taste like pickles though. Do you like pickles?

[C]

I love pickles.

[B]

I don't believe you.

[C]

I've never had a pickled onion and.

[B]

I don't want to. Lying ho.

[C]

I don't want to try it. It sounds when people get whole onion whole grill or whole whatever onions on their in and out burger. And they're pulling it out and slurping that. That's disgusting.

[B]

It's my favorite. Oh, they get it protein style. Whole grilled onion. No chopped chilies.

[C]

Okay. That's slays. Love chopped chilies.

[B]

And I drench that and spread. Oh my God, that sounds interesting.

[C]

Across the Street.

[B]

You all right?

[C]

Well, thank you for being on today.

[B]

You were so welcome.

[C]

You're great. You're a great guest.

[B]

Oh, thank you. Thank you for having me. Of course. It was so nice getting to know you for the first time ever.

[C]

Absolutely.

[B]

Yeah. Where can everyone buy at Avery woods with two wise and.

[C]

Is Avery woods stolen? Like, do you not have that? Is that one like taken like one Y?

[B]

I've never tried changing it.

[C]

Oh, Slayer.

[B]

I've had it for so long. Well, that just is so much work.

[C]

Oh, everything is.

[B]

I want to get to the point where like, you know when celebrities like, don't even touch their social media, it's like so someone can just get their handle changed.

[C]

Totally.

[B]

Maybe if I get to that point like 30 years down the road, I'll change it. 30 years ain't happening now.

[C]

We retired by that. He's 60.

[B]

Thank you for that.

[C]

And I'll be like 34.

[B]

Nice talking to you.

[C]

Good night.

[B]

Good night.

[C]

Cheers.

[B]

New vitamin water, zero sugar. Pineapple Passion fruit is packed with vitamins. Just like the amount of peas we packed. In that sentence, it's packed like your tote bag, the one you stole from your ex. Or your overpriced at the studio apartment or extra rushed rush hour traffic Packed like your calendar. Triple booked at 5, of course. Grab a vitamin water. Did we mention it's packed with vitamins? Insurance may all seem the same on the surface, but having insurance isn't the same as having State Farm. It's like getting a granola bar with a candle in it.

[A]

When you wanted a three layer birthday cake, you wouldn't settle for just any.

[B]

Dessert on your birthday. So don't settle for just any insurance. When it comes to getting the help you need, State Farm is the real deal.

[A]

Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.
