Katching Up With Katie – “Unsolved Mysteries: KVS Edition”

Host: Katie Van Slyke
Date: September 24, 2025

Episode Overview

In this lively and laughter-filled episode, Katie and her crew recount a wild and puzzling morning on the ranch that could rival an episode of "Unsolved Mysteries." From a newborn calf inexplicably winding up on the wrong side of a fence, to the team’s jokes, personal anecdotes, and candid chatter about the chaos of farm life, this episode showcases the heart (and humor) of Running Springs. The latter half features a quarterly catch-up with team member Lindsay, including her “big white” sweatshirt saga, adventures learning animal names, and reflections on the challenges of joining a working ranch.

  • After some effort, the team reunites calf and mother by physically carrying the weak calf back.

  • Office and "Unsolved Mysteries" references lighten the confusion:

• Naming the Year’s Calves — The “N” Year (22:48)

  • Discussion around naming conventions: this year, all calves get “N” names (e.g., “Ned,” “Nate,” “Neville”).

    “So in the Simmental registry, it is an N year. So we’re going to name everything with an N.” (23:00 – Katie)

Transcript

[A]

Welcome back to catching up with Katie. So much. I. We honestly didn't have much to talk about today until about an hour ago. So Abigail and Lindsay. Lindsay was also part of it. She's not current. Are you even hooked up? Okay. Lindsay's currently. We are. But you have a mic in front of you and so you look like you. You look like you were like over in the corner. We gotta get a set up for five. Anyway, so this morning we had quite the eventful morning and we have refrained from chatting about it because we want to tell the story to Matt and Nate of what we've experienced.

[B]

I doubt they're gonna find it like that entertaining.

[C]

How do you know there's a good shot of that?

[D]

Good chance.

[B]

I just have a feeling it was a fun.

[A]

Okay, you. Maybe it was. It had to been there. Maybe it had to be there. I don't know. But every week I talk about like calving seasons coming Kevin. And literally I was making a tick tock as we were driving into the pasture.

[D]

I'm just kidding. All right, Carol.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

He brought a cookie. We were driving into the pasture because we go check cows every morning and we went into the heer pasture and there had been a couple that we had been like suspicious of, especially Lulu. And we're driving around looking at them and all of a sudden in the first group we didn't even think anything of it. And all of a sudden you were both like, there's a baby literally right next to us. Like right next to the golf cart. We almost had my mom's dog on the podcast today because she got a dog. You haven't even met it, Nate. It's pretty cute.

[D]

What kind of dog is it?

[A]

It's a Jack Russell. And so she got a dog. And so I've been like keeping it some. And so she was almost going to be on here, but we ended up being later Anyway, so we had this tiny nine week old puppy on the golf cart with us and she's squirming and not behaving and whatever. We see this baby, we're like, I guess it's fine. We look over at the other end of the pasture, Lulu's down there, who's the one that we had been thinking was going to have it. And we're like, that's really suspicious. And we pull up and we're like, ah, maybe she has it, but she's going to have it. And then all of a sudden a little head pops up, but big butt.

[C]

Okay, what's the butt?

[A]

Tell Them, Abigail.

[B]

It was on the other side of the fence.

[A]

And there's no, like, the baby. The baby. There was no spot anywhere near them where, like, first of all, the fence is too tall for her to have, like, you know.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Over the fence. And there's no spots anywhere near for us to, like, crawl under for it to, like, nowhere. So what. Anyway, I, I, we start trying to brainstorm, like, how do we. Lulu was keeping her cool a lot better than I think some would. We figured it out eventually. But I, at first I'm like, I call my dad. Because Jonathan and Austin were both an hour away working on something else can't talk about. And so there wasn't anybody like, that I could just be like, hey, come help, because here's my thought process. On the other side of the fence where this baby was, that's where sugar daddy, the bull, which he's not like, mean or anything, but that's where the bull and all of the, like, later mamas that are going to be calving later, that's where they all were. And sometimes when they see like a, you know, a side by side or a golf cart, they come running because they think they're getting fed.

[C]

Right.

[A]

And so I didn't want bring it to bring their attention over to, like, this new baby and get it stirred up and like, you know, whatever. And so we were like, how do we, what, what do we do? And so what we ended up doing was we. There was like, a gate. I don't know. It's pretty far down the fence line. Like, that baby had to have, like. Yeah, ran. We went to the gate. I walked the fence line to the baby. I'm gonna have chiggers. I already know it was, it was very grown up. But I walked up to the baby. It had to have not eaten already and had to have been, like, rolled under the fence. Like that gate. There was a spot at the gate that it probably could have, like, fit underneath. Yeah, that's the only place we can find. And so she had to have had it at the gate. It rolled underneath before she could even clean it off because it had all this dried, like, mucusy stuff all over it. So she hadn't even gotten to clean it off. And it had to have gotten up.

[C]

The gate or the calf.

[A]

The calf.

[C]

Okay. I didn't know if you saw, like, stuff on the gate.

[A]

No, no. We found pieces of placenta there that she had, like, eaten it and stuff. But then it had to have gotten up and walked and just walked the fence line, and she had to just walked with it up until this. This corner. And so then they were trapped. I'm so glad we went and checked before. I'm. I'm glad. Okay. Glad you were late. Because then we were like, let's go check calves. It all worked out. But anyway, we walked up there. It was weak. It had not eaten. And so I just scooped it up, walked it. That thing was heavy. My arms were, like, shaking. So then Abigail rescued me. Ah, 60s. It's a bull calf.

[E]

We.

[A]

We'll go weigh it. We'll weigh it later. 50s or 60s. But, like, I. I don't want to make myself sound like wimp, you know? So maybe 80. No, it was in the 60s, probably. Usually when we weigh our calves, they vary from in the 50s to the 70s. A really, really big one's like, 90. But anyway, Abigail carried it the last, like, part of the way through the fence, and then we went and set it at a tree that was nearby because Lulu had made her way down the pasture. Well, then. I'm so sorry. I just have to say heifers are stupid. They're stupid. They make things difficult. They don't know what's going on. She was like, oh, the baby's out of my sight. I. I don't have a baby. What baby? I don't. I don't have a baby anymore. I'm just gonna eat. We set it out in the middle of the field, and we, like. She had been aggressive earlier, so we, like, left it. It was in her sight.

[C]

She's like, that's not my baby left this morning.

[A]

She's like, mine was over there. That was not mine. So then baby takes a golf cart ride.

[C]

Oh, nice.

[A]

Baby gets loaded up on the back of the golf cart. So we have a puppy and a calf on the golf cart. Take it to where it was on the other side of the fence. Yeah, drop it. It's not going anywhere because it's weak. Come around. And at this point, after I'd called my dad, now my dad shows up after we'd already done the hard work. So now my dad shows up. I'm like, you stay there. I got this. So then we take the golf cart, and we push Lulu towards the baby. Then she's like, my baby, my baby. And then all was gone. Then I was fine. But then. Do you want to take over?

[B]

I'm not sure what you're gonna say about.

[A]

We questioned with the other mom.

[B]

They could have been twins, but because it was just weird, the other mom didn't really seem that interested in her, in her baby. But there was only one, like, spot found of, like, after birth, like, area.

[A]

So we were thinking potentially, we were like, okay, because where we found the calf, the first one was where the afterbirth and everything was. So we were like, could she have had this first calf, dried it off, taking care of it? Because it had, like, milk on its lips. So it had eaten.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And then second calf comes, it rolls under the fence, and then she's so distraught that she leaves that calf. That's what we were thinking, but we watched it eat on another mom. And so we were like, honestly, even if they were twins, if she is taking care of that calf, then we'll cross the bridge of her baby if it comes. When we get there, Lulu was really.

[B]

Big, and her udder was very big.

[A]

Huge.

[D]

So.

[A]

So maybe twins and DNA will tell us. Like, that's the kind of thing where, like, we're gonna separate them this evening and put them in a smaller little lot together. And if they both continue to just take care of their respective babies, then cool. That's their babies.

[B]

But it's gonna be funny if the one taking care of possibly the twin pops out another baby, and then she's got two.

[A]

What we have to pay attention to.

[B]

Is if she does, someone takes hers.

[A]

No, we'll have to give it.

[B]

And then they just keep swimming because.

[A]

All of her colostrum will be gone.

[C]

Yeah, it's kind of like Dirty Santa.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

Everyone just keeps swapping, keep passing again.

[A]

And we've had. We've had calves steal others before. Like, I remember there's a video of one of my past red cows. She was having her first baby. They get so confused. Heifers are. They just don't know what's happening. She's. So actually, it was Kiki who was born, which is a mama we're watching this year. So she had been born, like, an hour prior. Her mom is like a. She's had babies before. She's. She's fine. She's like, okay, I know what's happening. You can. You can do it if you want. So as Fiona has feet sticking out, she's in labor having her own calf. She's like, no, but this is my baby. And she's like, cleaning Gigi's baby. And she's like, no, this is birth. This is. This is my baby. And we're like, no, honey. Like, yours is literally sticking out of you. Like, they just don't know.

[D]

Yeah, that's insane.

[A]

They don't Know. They don't know that. What's going on? Like, that's what I'm saying. Like, Lulu, like, in her brain, she was just like, no more baby eat. Like, she just.

[C]

What are you going to do?

[A]

And then we were like.

[B]

I mean, baby gone.

[A]

Baby gone. Like, I think. I think of the office when Kevin decided that he was going to use less words, you know, and he started. Yeah, speaking in less words. I feel like that's how, like, Lulu is like, no, baby eat, eat. Oh, baby. Now other side. Like, I don't know.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Like, she's just not smart. And so that's fine. She's pretty. Anyway, that was our morning. So we have two calves on the ground out of 39.

[C]

This. This whole story reminded me of the time I got in a car crash.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

How was it? I'll tell you.

[A]

Oh, no one asked.

[C]

I'll tell you when you're talking about how the baby's on the other side of the fence. But, like, there's no way it could have been on the other side of the fence.

[D]

This reminds me of a car crash I was in.

[C]

It does, right? Like, how could it be on the. There's no way to get unexplainable.

[A]

Right?

[D]

Right.

[C]

This is from experience. The car crash is. I didn't experience that this morning. Yeah, this. It was just a time where I was like, you know, this had to have been a miracle, what I experienced, because there's no explanation.

[E]

Okay.

[C]

We're driving down the road, and I think there's, like, six of us in this suv. Everyone falls asleep. Everyone in the whole vehicle.

[A]

Even the driver?

[C]

Even the driver. So for a short time, everyone in the car is asleep. We go off the road. After we are off the road for a few seconds, everyone kind of is waking up. We slide sideways into a fence with a tree. I wake up, glass all over me. I'm like, why are we not on the road? They're like, we. Everyone fell asleep. We crashed. So, you know, now the car stuck. Big ordeal. I'm out of the car, looking around, and I can see, like, the skid marks of the tires off the road all the way to where we crash. There's a big road sign on the side of the road and the skid marks of our tires. One goes underneath the road sign and another one goes outside of the road sign. And all I'm thinking in my head is, how did we not hit that pole in the middle?

[A]

Right. Yeah.

[C]

I'm watching the skid marks from our tires from the road go to the tires on the car. These are our skid marks. And there's a pole in the middle. How did we not hit the pole? And people were like, yo, how did we not hit the pole? Like, I don't know. And then that was. I mean, that was pretty much the end of it. But it was one of those, like, how did that calf get on the other side of this fence? Which you found an explanation at the beginning.

[D]

I thought you were about to say that you got a car wreck and a baby went out the window.

[B]

Me too. And somehow it ended up on the other side.

[A]

It's like when you voluntarily watch Unsolved Mysteries, and then you just are so frustrated at the end of watching these shows. That's what. That's how that story makes me feel.

[B]

Yeah. Why would you even.

[D]

It's like you intentionally turn on Unsolved Mysteries and then get upset. But it was never solved.

[A]

Exactly.

[B]

At the end, I'm like, wait, so it wasn't solved?

[C]

Well, I thought it was a miracle.

[B]

Well, then why would I even. Why did I even watch this?

[A]

It just made me so.

[B]

Solved Mysteries.

[A]

There's literally a show called that.

[B]

I've watched every episode.

[A]

I get.

[B]

And I get irritated at every ending.

[C]

But you knew it was coming.

[B]

Every ending. I also. I googled just to make sure it's still unsolved.

[C]

They found out later.

[B]

No, it always is.

[A]

Oh, my gosh. So, yeah, two out of 39. Here's the thing. If our cattle say, I'm gonna end up buying something, So I say 39, it'll probably be more, but it's. It started.

[C]

You're gonna buy one already bred.

[A]

The one I have my eye on is not due until February, so I.

[C]

Don'T know if I would buy a.

[A]

Late caver, but there's some in our sale that, like, we. We put them into the sale because they are. Do, you know, like, in March, which I do believe. You know, when you go into an auction, a lot of the times you have a reserve on some specific, you know, animals, whether it be a horse or a cow. Like, if you've put a lot of money or a lot of effort into this, and then you just don't have the right buyer at that auction. And so you are like, I have to get X amount to sell it, so you'll put a reserve. So I believe there's a couple lots that we'll have a reserve on that have, like, specific pregnancies or whatever. So we might end up having, like, a few calves that are late if.

[C]

They don't sell, does the, does the public know what the reserve is or is that.

[A]

It depends. I think, I think they say, hey.

[C]

This cow has a five thousand dollar reserve or a two thousand.

[A]

Every auction I've been to, no.

[D]

Okay.

[A]

But every auction I've been to, if the reserve isn't met, they go to the top bidder and say, you were like off by this much. Would you like to still purchase it at the reserve amount? The. The reason is it gives it an option to go higher than the reserve.

[C]

Right.

[A]

But it has to make like at least that amount.

[C]

So I got you.

[A]

Yeah. So, yeah, the cattle sale, I mean, usually we have a, you know, calves being born there possibly. I don't believe we have any that are due super. Like, us personally, I don't think we have any that are due super close to there, other than one. And her due dates before the cattle sale. So I really hope that she's done before we take her in.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And. And it's. And it's in a very peaceful environment. Like, they're usually in like good sized places if she did calf. But a lot of people have asked me prior to the cattle sale, like, okay, do you separate the mom and baby? When, like, do you, like, if one's born there? Like, what if they just want the mom or if they just want the baby? They're sold as a pair. It's a cow calf pair. There's no separation going on.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

So don't worry about that. But yeah.

[C]

Cool.

[B]

Are we ready for our special guest?

[A]

She's like, can I this week she's like, can I get out of this chair actually, Please.

[B]

Lindsay, why don't you, why don't you hop on over here?

[A]

All right, Lindsay's here. So we, we've done an episode with Lindsay just getting to know you and whatnot. And you've been here, let's see, almost. You've been here a quarter? You've been here a quarter.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

So we're gonna do Lindsay's quarterly review on camera. Just kidding. We are going to just kind of check in what are your weaknesses.

[B]

And.

[A]

See like, how things are going. You've, you know, people. It's a wide range of comments I see about when we have someone that joins, like the team. Some people think it's amazing that we hire people that haven't had prior horse experience. Other. And honestly they're giving like a why not me Vibe. But they're like, this is just so dumb that you hire people that don't even like Know horses. And it's. It's actually hilarious that that many thoughts go into it. Anyway, a lot super positive feedback from the first video about, you know, you joining the team and learning things. And so now that it's been like a full three months that you've been here, let's just do like a little.

[E]

Little recap.

[A]

A little recap. A little catch up, if you will. Who's calling?

[C]

Looking back with Lindsay.

[A]

Looking back. Looking back with Lindsay. Okay, you are getting. We are going to quiz you again on animal names.

[E]

Okay.

[A]

Because she's improved, but there's still probably once a day on Snapchat someone is named different than what sometimes.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

Okay.

[A]

I was about to say I'm gonna just show you all the bay horses and see if you can because. Okay, she caught. Who was it she called Beyonce the other day?

[E]

Ricky.

[A]

No, it was someone on the train. It was Beyonce when we were taking her to Ixy. Beyonce. Oh, I said, no, no, she called Beyonce Trudy.

[E]

Yeah. I said, is that Trudy?

[B]

Yes, yes.

I have to remember that. Trudy's big girl.

[A]

Trudy's big booty.

[E]

Big booty Trudy.

[A]

Yes. Beyonce also has a big booty. But she's little. Yeah, she's little and she's got like her big star. Anyway, so what has been out of the three months? What? You know, we asked this before. What's been your favorite thing that you've like, learned or like, what's a new thing that you've experienced? I mean, we had quite the experience this morning, but. Yeah.

[D]

Got a new nickname.

[E]

I did.

[B]

Big white.

[A]

We can't say that. We can't say that. Okay, so I'm not like that. You're literally Abigail's wanting to talk and she can't because she's. Okay, so I hate this. So I didn't mean to say this. So we were weaning and Lindsay loves her sweatshirts in a 90 degree.

[E]

I just had a T shirt on that time.

[A]

No, no, you had a sweatshirt on.

[E]

No, I took that off. I just had a big white T shirt on.

[A]

You had this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's when the happened. So she had a huge sweatshirt on that was like an oversized white sweatshirt. And it was bright. It was new.

[E]

It was very new.

[A]

It was very new. Okay, she's coming in because she needs to talk.

[E]

Peer pressure.

[A]

She needs to talk.

[E]

Perfect.

[A]

So we're waiting. And this is one thing that you know, when you come into an environment, you just don't Know things. Sometimes I didn't think about it. When babies are, you know, in new environments, things will spook them, they'll scare them. And so, you know, big loud colors or something bright or something out of place. And so you had squatted right next to the fence that they were going to be walking through. And I was like, hey, let's not sit there. Let's move, because it might scare them. And then I just continued it and I trailed off and I never finished it. I was like, yeah, like they'll just see a big white. And then didn't. And I didn't mean anything negative by it.

[B]

You said they just see it like you're just a. You're just a big white. I think you were going to say, like, target or like, I don't know, like.

[A]

I think I meant just like. Like big white spot. That's just what they were going to see, a big white spot. That's exactly like what my brain was meaning.

[E]

After you said that, I looked down and was like, I'm gonna go over here.

[A]

Well, I just. It didn't click in my brain that what I said could have at all been construed in a negative way. And that's not at all how it was meant.

[D]

And bw, AKA Lindsay, bw.

[A]

B dub, B dub.

[E]

I'm not gonna throw anything up.

[A]

No, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. So anyway, back to the actual question. Things that you've learned over the last three months that are new to you, like that. I don't know, some fun stuff.

[E]

Come on. Oh, goodness. Learning actually, like, taking time to learn the animals names has been a lot of fun. I'm actually, like, challenging myself. I do it on Snapchat, so people get a laugh out of it. Like I do, especially when I call them the wrong names. And then Katie's like.

[A]

She's like, I do that on. I do that on purpose just to, like, sometimes get people into it.

[E]

I really. I truly don't mean to do it, but no, I'm still learning.

[A]

There's a lot.

[E]

So learning all the mares and the foals names have been fun. I've really enjoyed watching the, like, weaning process happen. I've never. I never thought about that as, like a process that you'd have to, like, pay attention and actually, like, put time and effort into. Right. So that's been fun. Seeing that all kind of transpire and. And seeing, like, Ruby go to her new home. That was cool.

[A]

You're. You're way better than Me or I feel like almost anybody at, like, keeping up on socials. I feel like, oh, yeah, like, you're keeping up with everyone on socials and following everyone.

[E]

I got to know everything that's happening. Okay. Because I don't want you to be like, hey, did you see this? And I'd be like, no.

[A]

Unfortunately, I'm terrible at it, though, because I tend to, like, get on and. And post my stuff, manage my comments, and then I, like, try to get off my phone.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

And so I'm not nearly as good at keeping up with everything as I probably should be. But, yeah, I actually appreciate that you're so good at that because. Because. Because then you're in the know.

[E]

I'm in the know. I know you're in the know.

[A]

Oh, my gosh. I just thought of something. The two new calves were born today. Were boys. One could be Nate.

[D]

Oh, Nate's not accounting and.

[C]

But it's a in year.

[A]

Or Nathan. Ned or Ned. Ned.

[C]

Oh, Ned and Nate. Yeah, I like it.

[A]

We could do Nate, Nathaniel, Nathan.

[C]

Any variation except Nathaniel. I'm not Nathaniel.

[E]

Why can't I think of any Neville?

[A]

Neville.

[C]

Oh, my God.

[A]

We have to do a Neville Longbottom.

[E]

Neville Papperman. I was thinking of the icarly guy.

[A]

Neville Longbottom.

[D]

This generation.

[E]

Peppermint.

[B]

I did think of Papperman just, like, first because of the way that he said the name.

[D]

I like that name. Peppermint. Yeah, I like that as a first name.

[A]

Yeah. Okay.

[B]

Hey, Pap Superior.

[A]

Especially his glow up. Anyway, so, yeah, we're gonna have to think of n names. If you missed the last episode, we talked about the fact that in, like, the livestock associations, like goats, cows, like, anything that is, like a registry. So in the simmental registry, it is an N year. So we're going to name everything with an N. Big. I liked. We talked about, like. We said Ned Stark. We said Neville Longbottom. We said Nate the Great. There were some other ones that we. We said that were really, really good. So we need some suggestions.

[D]

Norman.

[A]

Norman Norman Bates. So because we had. We sexed a lot of these cows at, like, 70 days pregnant. A lot of bulls are coming. We got a lot of boys coming.

[C]

Speaking of Norman, which makes fun tidbit. Go ahead.

[A]

I was gonna say if you want to wait and see if there's a bull calf with a white face, we could wait for Nate for that.

[D]

Why?

[C]

But what if it doesn't happen?

[D]

Why does it have to have a white.

[B]

Because those are the only ones that.

[A]

She Likes to name because then I can notice who they are.

[B]

We this, this year, starting this year, I think we need to like make it a challenge to name all the babies and remember like find one defining feature.

[A]

It's gonna be their ear tag number. That's gonna be the defining feature.

[B]

Well, that's fine. Then we'll remember it based on that.

[C]

Sock over so you can't see.

[B]

But we'll still, we'll still at least.

[A]

Give them a name. We'll try. All right.

[E]

We've already got a list.

[A]

So.

[B]

Norman.

[C]

Yeah, Norman. This is just a little fun fact. One of the things that I always notice about a building is if they have a Norman door. And a Norman door is a door that you approach and you don't know if you're supposed to push or pull. It's a poorly designed door that just like has a handle.

[B]

Or the ones that are like a.

[C]

Bar, but the bar is great cuz you can only push.

[B]

That's not true.

[E]

I've pulled many where.

[B]

I've had many bars where you can also pull.

[C]

Oh, maybe like a handle. A handle.

[A]

Oh, I see, I see, I see.

[C]

Like the little push thing. Those are great. The ones that like just have a flat like square. No, no, no.

[B]

I'm talking about like a little, A little bar.

[C]

Bad door. Bad door.

[B]

Confusing door.

[C]

That's a Norman door.

[B]

Norman door.

[D]

So we can make it feel like your least favorite cow.

[C]

So doors should be clear as you should never have to put push or pull on a door. It should be clear when you.

[A]

Unfortunately, Lulu did have a solid black calf.

[E]

If you look at the hinges, you'll know which way it opens.

[A]

I was responding to Matthew, not.

[D]

Anyway.

[A]

Oh, I like, I didn't want to be just like construed that I was just still talking about calves in the middle of the doors. He said name Nate an all black calf. And I was like, Lulu did have an all black calf. Anyway, Nate. So Lindsay.

[E]

Yes.

[A]

What has been a challenge for you in your first three months here? We all know what it is. I'm just kidding. Just kidding.

[D]

Meeting the bar for one.

[E]

What have I struggled with?

[B]

What are your weaknesses?

[E]

I think one of the things I struggle with is like trying to get Snapchat up. Like some days I'll be like, okay, I have enough. And it's like 50. And I'm like, okay, no, that's not enough at all.

[A]

Like this. So on Snapchat we try to do like a hundred a day and generally like if, if. Well, during the day, like during work Hours. If it gets to like 70, then like I'll answer some questions at the end of the day to like get it to 100 there. And so yeah, it. Sometimes you feel like, like I thought we had so many from this morning. It's like 15.

[E]

But anyway, that is, that's one thing. Another thing. It has nothing to do with work itself. It's just the drive, the drive, the drive that's.

[A]

It's traffic, like absolutely ridiculous right now.

[E]

So when I'm leaving Nashville, everybody's coming back in. So on this, the left side of the highway. Highway, highway, interstate, whatever it's called.

[C]

I don't know.

[E]

I should know that, but I don't.

[C]

They.

[E]

It's just back to back traffic on the other side. And I'm just straight.

[A]

What's your drive these days?

[E]

Like the time wise? Some days it's like 35 minutes. Other days it can be like 45 to an hour depending on which way I take home. I've taken like probably seven different ways home.

[A]

Trying to figure out the route. Yeah.

[E]

But I just do a different. My mom, my mom told me to never take the same route to work every day. So I try to take a different one every day.

[A]

So you got a stalker.

[C]

What, what, what maps do you use?

[A]

You a ways girl, you Apple maps.

[E]

So I have used ways before.

[C]

If you use Waze, it will take you so many different ways.

[E]

Yeah, it's ridiculous.

[C]

Yeah. I learned that I actually went home a new way the other day for the first time in like a year. A way I had not been before.

[A]

How do you keep finding these new ways, ways?

[E]

Do you change? Do you change your little, little guy?

[C]

Yeah, I got a profile.

[E]

Do you say, what's your car?

[C]

Let me check. See what it is right now.

[E]

Is it a scooter? Is it.

[C]

No, it's not a scooter.

[E]

I did the thing where you can or customize the little things that I'm.

[C]

I just. I have a blue car right now.

[E]

Right?

[C]

I'm a blue car. Right? Yeah. Cool, cool. I'll switch to blue car vibes.

[E]

But I. Every time she's like using ways, it's like me talking to her. Turn right and then I say, slow down, the popo's here.

[C]

But my, my little. My guy is a little Lord of the Rings looking dude with a sword.

[A]

Oh, so you can like enter in your own voice, your own voice, and then it's you talking. Oh my gosh.

[E]

And if they've had like the Cookie Monster.

[A]

Is this a ways ad?

[C]

No, but Now I'm curious. I'm curious, I'm curious now. If anyone uses ways, go to your profile and comment how many points you have? Yeah, I, I'm nearing 40, 000.

[A]

How do you get that many points just from driving?

[C]

If you like hit a pothole, if there's a car on the side of the road, you can like mark that hazard and it'll give you points.

[E]

You can say like, everybody can like police is here. You can say weather. You can.

[A]

Isn't that dangerous that you're like actively doing stuff on your phone while you're driving?

[C]

It's only like one button.

[E]

Passengers usually it'll say like not allowed while driving.

[C]

Yeah, it says don't do it while you're driving.

[D]

Which they don't.

[C]

So I always pull over. I'm just kidding.

[A]

See a pothole.

[E]

Gotta pull over.

[D]

One more little go and we should be good.

[B]

Let's wrap this up. One more little.

[A]

We are about to go film Matt riding. We should probably put Lindsay on a horse as well.

[D]

Well, it's probably going to be.

[E]

Do you have jeans?

[A]

Do you have pants?

[D]

It's.

[B]

It's going to be both.

[D]

It's probably going to be Lindsay.

[A]

Lindsay and Matt are both going to get on a horse today.

[E]

Why not?

[D]

Matt, I got to go see a guy about dog.

[A]

You are getting on a horse today. You can't back out every single time.

[D]

Well now I'm scared cuz she's been training.

[A]

She's not been on a horse. She's getting strong.

[D]

Ethel has.

[A]

Oh, honestly.

[E]

Stronger.

[A]

Honestly though she was at the show this weekend. So like Ethel, I went with Rebecca and her little girl to a horse show this weekend. Ethel did great. They won their Western pleasure class. Like it was awesome. And I had to lunge her so much and had to ride the crap out of her to get her ready for this little girl to ride. Because at the horse show she just like came alive. She was like I'm here.

[E]

She was ready.

[A]

She's bucking on the lunge line. She was ready. But I will say Matt, a, an eight year old little girl was able to passenger her through a horse show. So I think he should be.

[D]

I've been training too.

[E]

In what way?

[D]

She's been getting stronger but I've also been getting stronger mentally. I train physically. I train up my mind and my body and my chakra like everybody else does.

[C]

Okay.

[D]

And you'll see, there'll be a moment.

[E]

She'll sense if your chakras are off.

[D]

Nate's gonna edit this. But I did have every intention of making, like.

[E]

You know how you say, like, a horse can, like, sense your fear? I feel like they sense your chakras.

[A]

So, other than.

[B]

For sure.

[A]

So I know that you've been on a horse at Chick Fil, a camp in Georgia. Is there any other experience?

[E]

No, other than, like, my friend having her horse growing up, but she never, like, rode it. She just had it. I think it was just kind of.

[A]

Like a just look at it in the pasture kind of deal. Okay, so we're gonna do one last little round of who's this?

[E]

Okay.

[A]

And then you're gonna.

[C]

This one's not a prank, though, okay?

[A]

This is.

[C]

The last one was a prank by me.

[A]

If it's a picture of Tom, this one is. You're gonna have to just. Okay, I'm not gonna give you any hints. I'm not gonna give you hints. You didn't come anyway.

[E]

I didn't come what anyway?

[A]

No more hints. Who is this wheezy?

[E]

I keep up.

[A]

She just got that.

[E]

I keep up.

[A]

I can't believe she just got that. That's not even a horse. That's on the property.

[E]

Okay, we're on a row for today.

[A]

Hold on.

[E]

That's only one. One out of one.

[B]

Good job.

[A]

I'm gonna. I'm giving her easy ones. Okay, this is gonna be a little harder, Mimi. This one's gonna be a little. A little more difficult. Okay. I'm gonna ask them first.

[E]

Okay.

[A]

Y' all don't say your answers quite yet.

[D]

Trudy. Nope.

[B]

I think that's.

[D]

Oh, let me actually get a look here.

[B]

You said don't say the answer.

[D]

[A]

I mean, she's the one that needs to know I have mine, but okay.

[D]

Oh, I don't mind.

[E]

[A]

Okay. She says Ricky. Who do y' all say? Ricky.

[D]

Ricky.

[A]

Okay. Well, of course you're gonna say who she says looks like Ricky.

[E]

Is it Ricky?

[D]

I was gonna say Annie. Full transparency. I was gonna say it was Ricky.

[A]

Come on. Moo. Ricky. Usually.

[E]

Doesn't Ricky have something on her side, too?

[A]

No, that's Maggie.

[E]

That's Maggie. Okay. Just kidding.

[D]

I have a horse named Megan. That's so gross.

[A]

You had a horse named Megan?

[D]

No, that's just like, horses. Like, there's just certain people names that animals shouldn't have.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

Megan.

What's wrong with Megan? Okay, I have one. Boys.

[C]

Sophie?

[A]

Is it?

[D]

I heard everything.

[A]

Is it Sophie?

[D]

I can hear her think about saying Sophie before she says it.

[B]

Is it Sophie?

[A]

Is it Sophie? Yes. Hold on. That was too easy of one to end on. That's too easy of one to end on. One more.

[E]

Yeah, give me a hard one.

He doesn't know it is Ted. Anyway, good job. Anyway, we didn't ask you that many questions, so sorry. We just kind of took over. Let us know if we do another, like, follow up with Ms. Lindsay here. What kind of kind of stuff you want to know? What kind of questions you want to hear? Should we do her quarterly review on camera? That is also something we could do. So let me know. Let us know some n names since we have calves on the ground now. Stay tuned for lots of fun stuff. Like we're gonna be riding some special kind of horses here soon for fun and going on some, like, off site video, off prop. We're going off prop for some videos. So stay tuned for that and we'll see you in the next one.
