A
Happy Monday, guys. Welcome back to another episode. My best friend is back. We're back.
- [00:11]
B
Did you know that this is the first time in eight episodes we've been on the same episode?
- [00:16]
A
No way. Yeah, life's been busy.
- [00:18]
B
It's been like. I think it was like, Lauren, Maria, then two Ariel, and then. Oh, you have a hair. They said I have a hair.
- [00:26]
A
No, I have a hair. Um, actually, this is what you do now. Yeah, I learned this at teen therapy.
- [00:35]
B
Yeah. Calling it teen therapy was just funny to me. Like you were attending. Yeah. Isn't that crazy? Then two Ariel, then me and Ryan, and then you and Candace.
- [00:47]
A
It's crazy. The besties probably missed us together.
- [00:50]
B
Hopefully where they're like, he's better gone. Which I.
- [00:56]
A
He said, replace me. Please let me go.
- [01:00]
B
What are we talking about today?
- [01:02]
A
I guess we can talk. Like, updates. So, first and foremost, I want to address. I'm not a dumb, negligent fish owner. First of all, I'm dumb and negligent in so many other aspects of my life. But not fish keeping. First of all, I have an expert who told me that a porcupine puffer fish, Tyler can vouch can live with five clownfish and that everything would be okay. And did. If I knew there was going to be a massacre, as an animal lover, clearly I wouldn't have put them together. Okay. Did not know did they did die. It was sad. Everyone cried. It was tragic. Okay. He needs faster, larger fish to be in his tank, and so that's what we've done. Timmy was not killed the starfish, the blue one, Timothy, was not killed by Carlos. Okay. Clear his name. Justice for my boy. It was Angelo, the fox face fish. So, anyway, Carlos is fine. He had a moment. We talked to a pet psychic. He missed me. He wants alone time with me. Don't we all? Understandable. And his behaviors have changed. He's just, like, a little aggressive when they first enter, but he's not killing anyone.
- [02:17]
B
Yeah. I think he just needs to test their strength. Unless they prove themselves worthy of being in the tank.
- [02:22]
A
It's bullying. It's subtle bullying in the fish world.
- [02:25]
B
Yeah. And then the ones that post back up to him, then he doesn't.
- [02:28]
A
Yeah, they just have to, like, prove their strength and then they're fine.
- [02:32]
B
But I was, like, where you just wanted to start the podcast clearing Carlos,
- [02:37]
A
his name and mine, both of us. They think I'm, like, this dumb bitch that's, like, throwing fish in there for funsies and, like, telling the fish store what to do. Babe. Sean Tells me what to do. You think this is my fucking doing? Sean literally does not let me do anything.
- [02:53]
B
Yeah.
- [02:53]
A
And Sean ruins my dreams and crushes them more than Tyler does. And that is a big thing to say.
- [02:59]
B
And then, I mean, it's not even just the clownfish. Like, they have been wrong about basically
- [03:06]
A
everything when they all have different opinions.
- [03:08]
B
Yeah. I mean, even the first ones, not even the clownfish that died, but the other ones just died because, like, he was like, yeah, these are starter fish. And then they were like, oh, yeah, they died because the levels weren't right in the water yet. Like, you're not supposed to get, like, after the fact. They were like, we shouldn't have given you these until, like, after two cleanings, because that's when the water's equalized. And so we were like, so. And I was like, oh, thanks for, like, causing me trauma.
- [03:33]
A
Like, thank you. So it's not my fault. It's not.
- [03:38]
B
I heard there was a bad one, the one that I was in Hawaii for.
- [03:43]
A
Oh, Daphne. Yeah. Dude.
- [03:45]
B
I heard it was, like, trauma central in the office. Like, everyone stayed an hour and a half past close. Like, morning loss. And that one was just, like, it came sick, right? Like, people.
- [03:54]
A
Like, we think she was just sick.
- [03:56]
B
Like, she started. Stopped swimming.
- [03:57]
A
Oh, no. She was one that got stuck in the filter. And then after that, she just, like, her health declined. Was really sad.
- [04:03]
B
Yeah.
- [04:04]
A
She's trying to nemo out of there.
- [04:05]
B
Like, Maria, like, retold this story to me, and she was like, we were all trying to, like, fish out this fish from the tank. And everyone in the office was around the tank, sobbing. I'm like, I can't imagine this. This is why we need a reality TV show. Because I know, like, at what other office is 11 girls standing around a fish tank sobbing, and then they had a euthanizer. Yeah.
- [04:27]
A
That's what I heard when they FaceTimed me.
- [04:30]
B
Are you crying?
- [04:32]
A
Yes. Bawling. And I don't cry. Yeah, that was sad. But trade show season is about to get started. We'll be in New York soon. Or just, like, about to come home.
- [04:46]
B
Right.
- [04:46]
A
When this comes out, it'll come out. The day we.
- [04:49]
B
This will come out the second day of the conference.
- [04:53]
A
Oh, yeah.
- [04:54]
B
Sunday, Monday. New for New York.
- [04:56]
A
So, so excited to see all of you guys that are there. New York is my favorite conference to speak at. I think the energy is just so good. Everyone's so sweet. I have some new classes this year that I'm excited about, and those of you that can Attend. I do have online classes and webinars and we have a new one coming up. When is it? The 17th on St. Patty's Day.
- [05:17]
B
Yeah.
- [05:17]
A
Thank you.
- [05:19]
B
I didn't realize you were Irish. I apologize.
- [05:22]
A
Maybe if I want. I want to do something, because I can't.
- [05:24]
B
I remember last year you closed SBA for St. Patrick's Day.
- [05:28]
A
Okay, okay, okay. Here's my thing. I've always wanted to go to the Dallas St. Patrick's parade. And every year I work on St. Patrick's Day and I just am on Instagram and I'm like, wow, like, this looks fun. Like, it looks like a good time. I don't know what, what I was doing last year, but I decided to take off to do, I guess the year before. I was like, don't book St. Patrick's Day.
- [05:50]
B
And then SBA is going to be closed on St. Patrick's Day.
- [05:53]
A
And then I. It gets to it and I'm like, why the fuck are we closed? Everyone's like, you told us to close on St. Patrick's Day. And I was like, never again. And I didn't even go do anything. I don't even know what I did last year on St. Patrick's Day. Nothing.
- [06:04]
B
Probably watched Blades of Glory. Kudos.
- [06:08]
A
Who knows?
- [06:08]
B
Spirit the Force.
- [06:09]
A
She wasn't going out at that time. No, she was an inside cat.
- [06:13]
B
So we will be working again this year and that's why there is a webinar on that day. It's a work day.
- [06:20]
A
It's a work day.
- [06:22]
B
So this one is on everything. Branding and building your brand, how to make it long lasting, a brand that endures. And as you guys know, Savannah has done that successfully. So it includes, like social media tips and stuff like that.
- [06:40]
A
So, yeah, Tyler and I have been getting along again.
- [06:43]
B
That is true. That is true.
- [06:45]
A
We're not beefing anymore.
- [06:47]
B
No, we're actually not. Actually like every day at the office, for the longest time, it was me v her and everyone else was safe. And now it feels like everyone else is not safe. And I'm the safe one and I'm just like, bad. It's like, it's like, you know, it's been like when we were in the ice storm and that goes to 80 degrees and you just feel like the sun.
- [07:07]
A
Yeah.
- [07:07]
B
Defrosting you. That's what it's felt like at work.
- [07:10]
A
Oh, he's traumatized. He can handle it. I'm traumatized.
- [07:16]
B
Yeah.
- [07:17]
A
He crushes my dreams every day. But I think lately I've been like, listening to him More. I think that's why. And even listening to me, I have been. I think we've been meeting each other in the middle. Like, we've had good compromise, and I think, yeah, we've just, like, worked on.
- [07:31]
B
We're both stubborn people.
- [07:32]
A
Like, bending a knee to each other, which is, like, so hard for us because we both don't like losing or being wrong. And, like, Tyler will die on a hill that's not even worth dying on. I think that's my biggest pet peeve about you.
- [07:42]
B
I absolutely will. And you can talk like you won't
- [07:44]
A
even apologize to my child. Okay. And I'm like, just say sorry. He's 3, and he's, like, out of principle, out of, like, just standing his ground for no reason when he could just literally just say the words, I'm sorry, Cyrus. He won't.
- [07:58]
B
No one deserves an apology just because they're three. I still will. Damn as hell crazy. Like, if they. If I did something wrong, absolutely. When I pushed him, I did apologize when he spit water on me. And you wanted me to apologize for that. I'm not apologizing to him for that.
- [08:14]
A
That's fair, I guess. Maybe. See?
- [08:17]
B
Compromise. Compromise. What else have you had going on in your life?
- [08:24]
A
Hmm?
- [08:27]
B
You're finally, like, grounded from traveling a little bit. No, I mean, like, grounded. Like, you're. You've been on the ground. Not like. Not like I grounded her. She is in a conservatorship, but that's what she's been saying a lot lately.
- [08:39]
A
No, I am. He runs my life. I'm just here. But he's my new husband.
- [08:44]
B
But now. Now we have travels coming up.
- [08:47]
A
Yeah, I think I've just been. I think it's just been. For me, I felt really, like, dysregulated and just kind of, like, all over the place because there's so many changes that happened at once. Like, you know, being divorced, having a house manager, like, someone new in my home, having a nanny. The new space, like, it's just, like, my every. And I'm such a, like, comfort person. I am really adoptable. I can, like, totally fake it till I make it, but, you know, this, like, I like to be you.
- [09:20]
B
Like, consistency.
- [09:20]
A
I like consistency. I like my routine. I like things to be the same. And so I think just, like, everything happening. And then, like, I talked about this on the podcast a couple weeks ago, but I've, like, just been controlled my entire life, and I've never lived alone. I've never, like, not had someone to, like, report to. And so I think I just, like, was kind of living.
- [09:44]
B
You were living your life. Yeah.
- [09:46]
A
I'm like, no one's, like, you know, asking where I am. I don't have to be anywhere. Like, I don't have to come home tonight if I don't want to come home tonight. Like, it was like, the first time in 28 years, my entire life that I've, like, been able to do that. And then it was fun for a bit. And, like, I got to, like, see myself and, like, who I was, like, outside of work. And, like, because I didn't party in my 20s at all, like, I just worked. And so I think that was, like, fun for me until it wasn't. And then I was just, like, around people that just, like, aren't good people.
- [10:21]
B
Yeah.
- [10:23]
A
And I'm. I'm really glad I, like, pulled myself out of that, like, before I got to a point where I was, like, around people that, like, weren't in my best interest. So. Yeah.
- [10:36]
B
Yeah. I mean, I think it was a really good thing for you. I've been. I mean, if y' all go back probably like two, three years on this podcast, you'll see her and I beefing over him.
- [10:48]
A
Being in his party era, this man was for the streets.
- [10:51]
B
Well, not even that, but I'm talking about, like, when I. When you would die on the hill, that work life balance is fake and people are just lazy. And like, now I feel like you understand that because I hated my life. Yeah. No fair. But, like, I was like, no, Savannah, you're fucking crazy.
- [11:09]
A
I gaslit myself. I am so good at gaslighting myself.
- [11:12]
B
Yeah.
- [11:13]
A
I can with. I'm a fucking strong soldier. I can literally, like, you don't even. I don't even need other people to gaslight me into doing what they want me to do. I'll do it for them.
- [11:22]
B
Yeah. You create your own reality. You're, like, very good at that. And so in your reality for a very long time, like a personal life, that it mattered because you didn't want.
- [11:33]
A
Yeah.
- [11:34]
B
Your personal life, you didn't want to be. Yeah, exactly. And so now I'm, like, really glad and I feel like.
- [11:40]
A
And you for a little bit there, like, we were always questioned.
- [11:44]
B
Yeah. And so I feel like. I feel like maybe you strayed a little too far on one side.
- [11:51]
A
Well, I'm a 0 to 100 kind of person. I put my all into things. I'm, like, not a half ass person.
- [11:55]
B
Yeah.
- [11:56]
A
Like, if I'm gonna do something, I'm gonna do it. And I'm gonna be, like, committed. And so I was like, full send, party girl era.
- [12:01]
B
Yeah. But now I feel like you're striking what I've wanted for you. Like, that happy balance. And, like, yeah, you're can. You're back into work. You're like, now that we're in the new space, everything's functioning well. Like, you. Yeah, you're locked in there, but I feel like you also are prioritizing yourself and your happiness outside of that.
- [12:19]
A
Yeah.
- [12:20]
B
And what I've been fighting for, that you told me is impossible and didn't exist for years.
- [12:25]
A
Well, when you're told that happiness isn't real and you don't deserve to be happy.
- [12:28]
B
Yeah. No, that no one's happy. No one's actually happy.
- [12:32]
A
That is fake.
- [12:33]
B
It is fake. That's what Savannah was told for years. And I was like, that's the craziest fucking thing I've ever heard in my entire life. But, yeah, you're learning that's not true.
- [12:43]
A
Yep.
- [12:43]
B
And you can be happy and have happiness.
- [12:48]
A
That's what it's all about.
- [12:49]
B
It is. That's what I used to tell someone all the time. I was like, you worked for five straight years, like, six, seven days a week, sun up till sundown, to build this, like, amazing business and career. And, you know, your voice is so elevated in the industry. You've made such an impact. But, like, if you're going home and you're fucking miserable, like, what's it for? Like, if you can go to all these, like. Like, see the world and stuff like that, but the person you're with, you want to, like, jump off the cliff from the beautiful view you're seeing. Like, the view's not that pretty anymore.
- [13:31]
A
That's why you came on a lot of those trips, too.
- [13:34]
B
Yeah. And because she loves me.
- [13:38]
A
But, yeah, I think everything's just not what it seems. I think, like, that's why a lot of people were confused. I think I definitely, like, portrayed things better than they were because I, like, wanted to believe that. And, like, again, that was, like, the reality that I wanted to believe. And.
- [13:55]
B
And it's also, like, no one's business.
- [13:57]
A
Yeah.
- [13:57]
B
Like. Yeah. I mean, I don't know. It's a tricky subject when you have nearly 400,000 people watching your every move and making judgments and thinking they know you when they don't. Yeah.
- [14:12]
A
I think that's what's been so hard, too, is just, like, the more it grows, like. And, like, my per. I've always been so open, but now I feel like I'm, like, entering this part of my life where I don't want to be.
- [14:24]
B
I think that's healthy.
- [14:25]
A
Thank you.
- [14:26]
B
Like, I do.
- [14:27]
A
I think, like, I think I just wanted. Like, if I said everything, then there would be, like, no way anyone could hurt me because it would all be out there. It's like, even if it was embarrassing or bad, I would just. Like, I would never have anyone could ever. Because I'd be like, yeah. I, like, told on myself almost. You know what I mean? I think that was, like, my mindset with stuff for, like, a really long time that, like, if I was the one to do it, then it's like.
- [14:49]
B
Yeah. But now it's like. Now it's like, even if you tell it, like, there's, like, a group of people that are always going to twist what you say or, like, find a new meaning or draw conclusions that don't even make sense. So it's like, the less they know, like, you know what I mean? The less you share to. To a certain extent, gives them.
- [15:12]
A
Yeah.
- [15:13]
B
Less to say. Which is sad. It's like, because there are so many more people that love me, that love what you have to say, love hearing about your personal stuff and stuff like that. But it's like, a few rotten eggs can spoil the dozen or whatever that price is. I don't know. Is that it?
- [15:31]
A
I think it's a rotten apple. Apple spoil the bunch.
- [15:35]
B
That was it.
- [15:35]
A
Not an apple.
- [15:36]
B
I know what a peninsula is, but I don't know. Is that an. No, that's not an idiom.
- [15:42]
A
I don't know.
- [15:42]
B
It's a figure of speech.
- [15:44]
A
It's personification. No, because you're saying the apple's rotten.
- [15:49]
B
No, but it is rotten.
- [15:51]
A
But that could also be, like, a personality trait.
- [15:56]
B
Hmm.
- [15:57]
A
Like, I could be like, you rotten boy. No.
- [16:04]
B
Now I'm trying to think of an example for personification.
- [16:06]
A
I don't think that's Mesopotamia.
- [16:08]
B
Like, where humanity started.
- [16:10]
A
Is that for sure?
- [16:11]
B
Yeah. Like in Africa.
- [16:13]
A
Are you, like, positive that?
- [16:14]
B
Like, 99% sure.
- [16:18]
A
Did they ever make you have, like, mashed potatoes when you learned about it?
- [16:22]
B
No.
- [16:22]
A
Sucks. You need to go to a cool school.
- [16:24]
B
No, that seems like a regular class. Like, non ap. That's what the regular kids are doing. Cool. Thanks.
- [16:33]
A
And she was. And she wasn't. Slow math.
- [16:36]
B
Yeah.
- [16:36]
A
Did I ever tell him my fun story about me being in slow math?
- [16:39]
B
No.
- [16:40]
A
Okay, so what is slow math? It's like, two semesters of the same class instead of, like, your first semester in the Switching classes, it's like you have the entire year you're in the same class.
- [16:50]
B
Did you do that off throughout high school or just one year? Okay, I'll let you go.
- [16:53]
A
Let me tell you the story. Okay. So I was dating this guy, and he was, like, super smart. Like, pre sat. Like, da, da, da. Like, would always be like, are you doing your homework? Kind of shit. I'm like, damn, dad.
- [17:06]
B
Yeah.
- [17:07]
A
Okay. So anyways, I'm like, failing whatever math class. It was sophomore year, and I had to do slow math. Okay. Which is, like, what they called it.
- [17:17]
B
And so I don't think they called it slow math.
- [17:20]
A
That's what my mom called it.
- [17:20]
B
Okay. Yeah, but I don't think this. Like, first of all, that is not what they call. There's no way they called it slow math.
- [17:27]
A
That's what everyone called it. It was even us in it. We're like. We're in the slow math class because we're slow when it comes to learning math.
- [17:33]
B
Yeah.
- [17:34]
A
Okay. Marcus. The high school I went to was huge. Okay? Massive high school. So he would walk me to my class. It was my first class in the morning. So, like, we'd meet in the morning and be like. And then he'd walk me to my class. Ok. I had to dart because I didn't want him to know that I changed classes. So I had to go from this class and I had to run across the building to get to the other side. At the exact same time every day
- [18:01]
B
for a whole year?
- [18:01]
A
Well, no. But then I had to pretend I was in a different class.
- [18:04]
B
Oh, okay.
- [18:06]
A
I, like, kept this up. And then one day, my mom was like, you need to help Savannah with her math. She's in slow math. And he's like. And then he broke up with me.
- [18:15]
B
So he was like, I knew you were dumb, but not that dumb. Yeah, no, can't do this.
- [18:19]
A
He hated it.
- [18:21]
B
That's crazy. I didn't. I didn't know that they offered that maybe a farm, and they didn't.
- [18:25]
A
And then I saw him at my high school reunion.
- [18:27]
B
Oh, did you say hi?
- [18:29]
A
I said hi.
- [18:30]
B
Okay. You're like, look at what slow math did.
- [18:35]
A
Like, how's your life? It's not as good as mine.
- [18:41]
B
I took two maths per year.
- [18:43]
A
Congrats.
- [18:45]
B
I was talking about this. I think I was talking about this on the podcast with Ryan, because in Highland park, he went to Highland Park High School. They don't do semesters. They take seven classes every day, the whole year. So, like, every class is year long. But they take seven classes.
- [18:59]
A
Nightmares about A day and B day. Like, having the right folders and stuff.
- [19:03]
B
Oh, I don't know what A day and B day is. Like, is that in middle school,
- [19:09]
A
I've literally blocked out so much of that part of my life. I just know that there was one day you had certain classes, and then the next day you had different classes, and then it would go back to the. It's like, Monday was A, Tuesday was B, Wednesday was A, Thursday was B, and then Friday was A. Oh, no,
- [19:26]
B
I never had that. But, no, he had seven classes every day. That sounds like hell to me. I would rather focus on four classes at once.
- [19:34]
A
Yeah. I don't really remember anything. High school was a blur. Middle school, all of that. Just don't remember it. Yeah, no, life's been good. I think I'm finally, like, getting more balanced with, like, everything. Cyrus is doing really good.
- [19:51]
B
So fucking cute.
- [19:53]
A
Yeah, he is super cute.
- [19:56]
B
Yeah.
- [19:57]
A
I mean, it's been, like, a good time. How have things been for you?
- [20:03]
B
Good. I have no complaints.
- [20:04]
A
He's in love.
- [20:05]
B
Yeah. I'm, like, just. I mean, I did travel for Hawaii, but, like, it's been nice not to travel for work. I feel like. I feel like I was.
- [20:15]
A
Sorry, guys. I have a bird app right now and 36 notifications. It's so cool. It's. I don't even. What is it called?
- [20:24]
B
You know, I didn't do anything with it. Marlo or Skin?
- [20:27]
A
Better Riches right now.
- [20:29]
B
Oh, wow.
- [20:29]
A
Yeah. I had a cardinal earlier.
- [20:33]
B
But, no, I feel like. Do you remember last year, we, like, for, like, three months straight, we were on a plane, like, all the time. Yeah.
- [20:40]
A
It was the master class.
- [20:41]
B
Well, the master class. And then we were, like. We had the wedding. We went to St. Bart's oh, yeah.
- [20:48]
A
We were bebopping around. No, I don't think I've ever traveled that much. But I was also trying to avoid the reality of my life last year, so.
- [20:54]
B
Yeah. But, like, after that, I never want to see the inside of a plane again.
- [20:59]
A
Yeah.
- [21:01]
B
And so it's been nice to be home. I'm a little afraid of all the upcoming troubles, but we're. For the first time ever, we're, like, just going for work, which I think is good.
- [21:12]
A
Well, yeah. Because I wanted to escape my life, and now I actually don't want to escape my life, so.
- [21:17]
B
Because we used to go for, like, a week.
- [21:18]
A
Yeah.
- [21:19]
B
For every trip, every conference. And now we're like, get there the day before things start, do our work,
- [21:25]
A
go home and I think I've also been to these places so many times now that I'm like, I don't need to do that.
- [21:32]
B
We don't need to go get our auras read again. We know the restaurants we want to go to.
- [21:36]
A
Yep. I don't want to go to Times Square, please.
- [21:40]
B
What did we go for last year? Lego? Well, we also went to the Disney. We went to some store.
- [21:47]
A
The stuffed animal store.
- [21:48]
B
Yeah.
- [21:49]
A
For saisai.
- [21:50]
B
Well, I guess we will be going to in Typhoon. Yeah. Even though there's no reservations. No.
- [21:57]
A
I'll sell my soul.
- [21:59]
B
Maybe we can walk in and wait.
- [22:01]
A
Yeah. Everything works out for us.
- [22:04]
B
I tried both. I tried our hotel concierge. I tried my personal concierge.
- [22:08]
A
Three birds.
- [22:08]
B
Now.
- [22:08]
A
Do you see that? And. Oh, there's a fourth. It's really cool, actually. I've really gotten into, like, bird watching.
- [22:17]
B
We're supposed to be getting. Our bird bath is coming in. Actually, no, I think Alyssa. Because Alyssa was handling the scheduled delivery, and I think it's, like, March 15th.
- [22:27]
A
Okay, that's fine. Yeah. There's still blue tape at my spa, which makes me kind of want to, like, burn it to the ground, but I'm hoping and I'm hopeful that it'll be all done by April 1st.
- [22:38]
B
Yeah. No, it definitely won't. There's not that much left. It's really just the cabinets. Because I rent. I went and re Walked it with Alyssa. Yes. Not yesterday. Friday.
- [22:47]
A
Mm.
- [22:48]
B
And, like. Because I was like, savannah wants us all to be done. Like, show me what's left. It's all cabinets. Like.
- [22:55]
A
And that light on the floor. It's lifted next to the Haven room. Take a look at it.
- [23:00]
B
No.
- [23:01]
A
See, this is what happens. No one tells anyone anything. It makes me want to cry. I miss. I love having a big team, and I love having a big building. I miss where I could just yell
- [23:14]
B
and everyone is on the same page,
- [23:16]
A
and everybody would hear it. And now we have walkie talkies, and no. And everyone's overwhelmed, and there's so much happening, and there's too many people, and it's just like. You write that down. Yeah.
- [23:31]
B
Okay. Good to know. Haven room light. I don't know if you saw yesterday, but they took the frame. They're fixing it.
- [23:36]
A
Yeah, I noticed one of me was gone.
- [23:38]
B
Yeah, there's only three, but, no, everything's been really good at the spa.
- [23:44]
A
Honestly, like, I think things are just, like, finally getting settled, and it's just a lot of big transitions, and we
- [23:51]
B
hired two more people. I don't think we've talked about that yet. We have a new. Savannah has a new client coordinator, which is the first time in, like, three
- [23:57]
A
years because Lauren's now doing services.
- [24:00]
B
Yeah. And so. And I really like her. Michelle, I don't think you've probably listened to this, but she. I feel like she comes in and she is, like, on it with you.
- [24:08]
A
Oh, yeah, she's great.
- [24:09]
B
Yeah.
- [24:10]
A
I really like her. I really do like her. And then we have Bella for retail, and she's just so cute.
- [24:14]
B
She is. Savannah kept on getting dms. Like, what modeling agency did you find this girl at?
- [24:19]
A
Stunning.
- [24:20]
B
This was the first hiring process. Michelle and Bella that, like, Savannah and I both were not involved in.
- [24:25]
A
And they did a good job picking.
- [24:27]
B
Yeah, they did a lot.
- [24:28]
A
We had, like, what, 3,000 applications? So
- [24:33]
B
that is partially why I was, like, with me taking on all this other workload, I cannot go through all these. Go through a ton. And Alyssa, who was promoted to spa director, if you've ever interacted in the past three years. Two years. How long is it? Two years, two and a half years with sending emails to us or ordering products or anything. Y' all know who Alyssa is. She's, like, the sweetest, kindest person. Got promoted to spa director, and she is absolutely killing it. I feel like we're in our season of thriving right now. Like, we were. We were not thriving at the last. Yeah, we were. That's the word I was looking for. We were surviving, and now we're getting. I mean, it was, like you said, a transition, but it's just like, we've
- [25:21]
A
never done this before anything. And I think we're just, like, learning as we go. And, like, I put a lot. I like a lot of tasks. I like to be stressed. Like, if I'm not stressed, I'm bored. And, like, I feel like I'm, like, falling behind. I, like, love to have many pots on the stove.
- [25:41]
B
We still do.
- [25:42]
A
Like, I'm really good at that. It's, like, my favorite thing, because if there's only one, then I'm like, it's just not impressive.
- [25:51]
B
But it. But if you only. It may turn out perfect.
- [25:54]
A
It always seems perfect with multiple.
- [25:56]
B
If you try to cook seven meals at the same time, something's going to be missing. Some seasoning.
- [26:00]
A
Not in my world. In your world, maybe.
- [26:04]
B
Yeah, it would be. Well, I don't know how to cook, so. My world, there are no pots on the stove.
- [26:08]
A
Stays. We get everything done. There's a will, there's a way. And that's why you know, I get shit done. I always do. I always figure it out. Everything always works for us, so.
- [26:19]
B
It does.
- [26:21]
A
Yeah.
- [26:22]
B
Anything else?
- [26:24]
A
No.
- [26:24]
B
No. We're tired. We went out to Delilah last night, and actually, funny enough, I saw a TikTok on my for you page today of this girl who posted it last night saying, I went to Delilah tonight. And she was like, awful experience, horrible food. Oh, all this stuff. And I was like, I had a great time.
- [26:41]
A
She's probably saying it for the views.
- [26:43]
B
Yeah.
- [26:43]
A
Negative. Always.
- [26:44]
B
She was like, there are so many small restaurants in Dallas that are just so superior to this. Like, I was like, there are a bunch of great, smaller restaurants in Dallas, but I was. I was vibing three creamiest wrestle martinis, and there was a queen singing. Like, she sounded so good.
- [27:02]
A
Not me.
- [27:03]
B
No, not this queen, but she can't sing. But I'm tired.
- [27:09]
A
It's cool.
- [27:09]
B
I think last night, Savannah brought me out.
- [27:10]
A
I did. I brought him out last night. It was fun. But no, I was telling him, like, it's just crazy to, like, for one, just to, like, see you so happy in the relationship that you're in. Like, every time, like, it just makes me, like, so happy for you. And, like, I just. I don't know, like, where we are in life now. Like, if someone would have told us that a year ago or even, like, two, three years ago, like, it would have been, like, crazy. You weren't even gay yet.
- [27:40]
B
Yes, I was.
- [27:41]
A
Oh. Oh, yeah. You, like, came out when I was pregnant. Yeah, you came out when Cyrus came out of me, like, right around then. Yeah, it was my baby shower or my gender reveal.
- [27:53]
B
Yeah, your gender reveal was your gay reveal. I love a twofer.
- [27:58]
A
A twofer?
- [27:59]
B
One.
- [28:00]
A
He's like, it's a boy and I'm gay.
- [28:02]
B
Yeah, that's true. Was I the one who knew your baby's gender, or was it your mom? It was me.
- [28:11]
A
I think it ended up being you because there was beef between you and your mom. No. Remember my mom and Lainey? So I was like, I have to take everyone out of this equation and pick, like, it's a boy.
- [28:22]
B
It's a boy.
- [28:23]
A
I knew it was a boy. I looked. I peaked.
- [28:25]
B
That's the first time admitting that. Yeah, I knew. You knew.
- [28:30]
A
How do you not look? I just didn't want to have, like, a reaction that my child was going to see one day, and if I'd be, like, upset on camera, I don't want that. I wanted it. I, like, really thought it was gonna be a girl. I really Thought it was a girl. And then I. Like, I wasn't disappointed at all. I was just, like, shocked.
- [28:51]
B
Hmm. I'm glad he's a boy.
- [28:54]
A
And also, like, do I have patience? No. No, I wasn't gonna wait.
- [28:58]
B
Of course not.
- [28:59]
A
Like, if you give someone, like, a paper and all you got in an envelope, and it was during COVID so no one else could go pick it up, so I had to go on and get it. If, like, I think I could have been fine. I would have probably pestered you, and you'd probably have to, like, go on a trip away from me.
- [29:16]
B
Yeah.
- [29:16]
A
For a while. And turn your block. Me.
- [29:18]
B
Yeah. But if I had picked it up.
- [29:21]
A
Yeah. No, I wanted to know, and I wanted to start shopping. That was a big thing. I was like, I want to start buying things because I was excited. It was my first child. Yeah.
- [29:30]
B
But no. Yeah. Thank you. I am happy. Yeah. But I feel like if you told me three years ago, I would have been less shocked, because I'm like, okay, I have three years to change things. But if, like, how much has changed in one single year? Like, if at the beginning in January of last year, if you told us what this year, what 2025 was gonna
- [29:49]
A
look like, We've gone through so much.
- [29:51]
B
It's. It was a rebirth for both of us and for sba, for everything.
- [29:56]
A
Yeah. Well, it's the year of the horse. Nay nay.
- [29:59]
B
Yeah. Now we just take off.
- [30:00]
A
Yeah. We're riding off into the sunset.
- [30:03]
B
We love you guys.
- [30:04]
A
Five, five, five it is.
- [30:06]
B
555. That's a lucky time to end the podcast, so.
- [30:08]
A
It is. So bye.
- [30:11]
B
That.
