A complicated wellness routine is something that I just do not have the time for. That's where Sujo Organic comes in and saves me every single time. I love their cold pressed juices and wellness shots. I genuinely feel like I did something nutritious for my body without making it a whole production. My go to juices are Ginger Love and Uber Greens. I also love the Turmeric pineapple immunity shot. It's it is small but mighty. Sooja's powerful cold pressed fruit and vegetable juices and daily wellness shots prove you don't need a wellness retreat to feel like you took one. Just sip and let the superfoods do their thing. No gimmicks, no fads, just organic cold pressed wellness. That works. Because real wellness doesn't come in trends. It comes cold pressed, blended, with benefits and ready when you are to just keep them in your fridge and grab on the go. Sip it, enjoy it and let Suja do the heavy lifting. When it comes to therapy, you might have a voice in your head that's saying I'll deal with it later or it's probably too expensive or where do I even start? Well, let me tell you about Rula because Rula makes it easier than talking yourself out of it. First of all, the cost of Rula because you know that can be the biggest blocker for a lot of people.

If you ever have feelings and you just want some, maybe a cat got you cover like a number. Ladies and fellas, we just follow in the spirit where it tell us from the real stuff to the chill stuff and the in between. Sometimes the best thing you can do is just stop and feel things. This is Feeling Things with Amy and Kat.
B
Happy Tuesday. Welcome to Feeling Things. I'm Amy.
A
And I'm Kat.
B
And Kat and I are back from our retreat. So my feeling of the day is refreshed from our time at Canyon Ranch. After Kat and I wrote Canyon Ranch, I flew to Colorado. And while that was amazing and I was there with family and it filled up my cup and my niece got engaged and all the good things wasn't as refreshing, but Canyon Ranch legit was so nice.
A
Was the chaos like the not refreshing chaos of just like going somewhere else or. Well, we were just a lot happening.
B
There was a lot happening. There's a lot of people at my sister's house staying at her house. So I slept in this little loft which is open over the living room kind of. I mean you from the living room you can't see it, but I could see down and there's like railing. So if people didn't go to bed as early as I did, I could hear them and whenever they woke up, I could hear them.
A
Speaking of going to bed as early,
B
we went to bed so early on our trip, like Kat and I were
A
grandma's last night we went to bed at seven o'.
B
Clock. Well, but that was nine o', clock, our body clock.
A
Right. So.
B
And we woke up at four in the morning to travel that day.
A
That's true.
B
So.
A
But every night we would get in bed by no later than eight, if not earlier. You would do a little reading and I would go straight to sleep.
B
Yeah, I mean Cat was like she was out, I'd be like, hey Cat. And I was like, at some point you got up to do like drink water and I thought you were awake and I started talking to you and then you just rolled back over and started snoring again. We weren't even sharing a bed. Well, a little bit.
A
I don't usually snore. I think it's a pregnancy thing.
B
It's the baby.
A
Yeah, it's the baby. I do remember that. I was like in and out of it. But you said, you said, oh dang it, Cat. I forgot to do the show notes. And like the nice thing to do would be like, oh, let me help you. I said like, oh no.
B
You looked at me and you're like. You're like, that's your problem. At dinner that night we had a text from Houston and I was like, oh yeah, I need to do the show notes when we get back to the room. I forgot for the couch talks that day. And I was like, yeah, yeah, we'll remember. And then I was having trouble falling asleep, so I was reading more and it was getting later and later and it was like 9:45, almost 10. And you'd already been asleep for hours.
A
An hour.
B
And I was still reading, but really hoping to just go to sleep. And then I looked at the clock, I was like, oh shoot. Show notes. So anyway, that was fun.
A
Sorry I didn't help you.
B
That's okay, that's my responsibility.
A
But we did get up at like 5 to 5:30 every morning and we
B
went hiking, which was awesome. That's when the weather is really the best. The best in Arizona. It did get hot, but I loved that there was no humidity. So if you live in that place, part of the country, what a gift.
A
You got to get up at 6am though to really enjoy.
B
That's fine. They're probably also used to the heat. And when you're in the shade, it's really not that bad. Just the humidity is what kills me and my hair.
A
Yeah, that's true. So speaking of our hike, I will say today my feeling is just out of breath. Cuz I feel like I'm really starting to feel that like pregnancy feeling of walking up the stairs or just to the bathroom gets me. And you were so kind on our hikes, pretending to also be out of breath with me.
B
Well, you asked me to.
A
But you obliged.
B
You were like, could you just huff and puff or something? Cause I'm feeling really out of shape. And it's not. It's just that you're carrying A baby. And so I said, sure, no problem. And so I started this breathing heavily for you.
A
And then we were walking up a hill and you were like, look, if I walk backwards, then we walk at the same pace as you walking forward. So I appreciate that.
B
Yeah, I worked on my. I did some agility training. Yeah, I walked sideways and backwards.
A
You did.
B
We made it work.
A
Yeah. So thank you.
B
And we got our spa treatments. And Kat and I were both shocked at the amount of women that get into the whirlpool and the cold plunge and all of that in the women's lock room naked.
A
Shocked.
B
Shocked.
A
But what I came to after day two is we're the weird ones, though.
B
Yeah. It was more normal you were the outnumbered naked in that stuff than not. And I thought, well, did they just not want to pack a swimsuit or they don't feel like they have to or just did we grow up differently? I. I could not.
A
I've only ever been to like a hydrotherapy circuit thing like that at a resort. Like a all inclusive type of resort where you are there with other people and they tell you to bring a swimsuit. So I've never gone to like a spa spa and gone into a sauna or steam room or hot tub. So I've never had the opportunity to see this, I guess before. I do not think that I would ever feel comfortable, even if I would never. I mean.
B
And there was that one moment you
A
were like, I'm going.
B
She kept going back and forth from the cold plunge to the hot tub, from the cold plunge to the hot tub. And she was naked. And I was like, why? My eyes. My eyes. I don't want to see you do that naked anymore. And then we would see her at dinner. And right now I'm like. Cause it was like always one place to eat dinner.
A
You were like, that's her.
B
And I was like, that's. That's naked lady number one. There's like naked lady number two. And like, right now I know in my mind what they look like naked. And I shouldn't, but I do. And now I'm picturing them.
A
But nobody else thought it was. Well, I guess if it was not supposed to happen.
B
Yeah, I don't think. I think that's fine that they do. Totally fine. Other than that, we had. I mean, that wasn't even that bad. But we had a fabulous experience, which is crazy. They were so nice and kind. Like we were asking the people at Canyon Ranch. We were like, so is it a requirement to just be really, really Nice to work here. And they said, well, people work here for so long that it's hard to get your foot in the door with. So if you get in with an opening, you want to keep your job. So, yeah, you turn on the kindness. Cause we met people that have worked there 35, 25, 20 years, and one girl gave you a massage. She was like, I've only been here five years and I'm a newbie.
A
Yeah.
B
So it just speaks to the, the culture there. And I loved it so much. So if you're ever in Arizona, Canyon Ranch, they're opening a new one in Austin, which I think we're maybe gonna have to try because it seems like it's gonna be really, really nice.
A
But we can't probably go the same time of year because isn't Austin not. They would have the humidity. Right.
B
Austin would have the human.
A
So that would be not as enjoyable.
B
Yeah, well, apparently we were there in Arizona during the. The. What do they call it, low season or was it season off there? You go low off.
A
But honestly, I think that's the play to go to a resort or anything like that. Any vacation in off season because it's more enjoyable when it's. Nothing was crowded.
B
Yeah.
A
Imagine if it was like full. What it would. You'd have to like fight to get a chair at the pool. You could have any chair you wanted.
B
Yeah, well, that one pool aerobics class was pretty full though. I'm not gonna lie. We were. I feel like we missed out on the pool aerobics. I wish we would have signed up for that because we went to the pool that one day and I was like, oh, my gosh, look at all these people taking this class. And it looked so fun.
A
I think a lot of them were family. People were on family vacations.
B
Yeah, there was a lot of like groups doing things. Cute cat was making fun of me on our flight because I printed out my boarding pass at home and brought it with me. And I thought this just makes me feel comfortable. This is like, maybe that's a millennial thing that I do. But I really like having it. Even though I know I have access to it on my phone. I just like having my paper copy.
A
I think it is very normal because usually I do too, is print my boarding pass when I get to the airport. What threw me off is that you printed it at your house with your at home printer, which most people don't even have printers anymore because nobody prints things anymore.
B
I print a lot of things. Well, we wait till you have that baby.
A
What am I going to be printing?
B
Paperwork. Kids.
A
Kids. Yeah, there's but, like, homework and stuff. Don't they just, like documents online or do things online now?
B
You just. There's all. There's documents and things that you're going to need to print.
A
Yeah. But Amy pulled out her computer paper with her ticket, and I was like, that is so adorable.
B
Okay, I'm gonna go sidebar, and then we can go back to some millennial things. But I just thought of a tip that I saw online, and it's genius. And it's about documents. And when you move into a house, you create an email address with your address. So say you move into 555 Star Avenue. You create 555 Star Avenue gmail.com and everything associated with that house, all the documents, the warranties, anything you buy, everything goes to that email address. And then when it comes time to sell your house and you're looking for certain documents or you want to transfer them to the new owner, it's like a gift you're giving them. In fact, if I was considering buying your house, you can be like, you know what? I have five, five five star avenuemail.com and I have everything in there that you're going to need that's going to make your life easier. And they're gonna be like, I want it sold. I'll buy this house. Wait, asking price over asking.
A
Over an email address over asking.
B
You've got five, five five star avenuemail.com sold. But I thought that that was so brilliant. And it's just a little tip in case you. Anybody listening? I know this is random, but paperwork and documents, you have to keep up with a lot of that. And you have it printed in a different folder, scattered about. Imagine having it all in one place. And all that email.
A
That is nice. You, I feel like, would just print it all out and put it in a folder.
B
Well, this was my tip to make me. Because this is a way to have everything so you don't have to have it all printed, but in email you can search. Well, what are you looking for? Oh, the dishwasher warranty. Dishwasher warranty. Bam, it pops up.
A
Do you get that via email?
B
No. Kat, are you. You tracking with what I'm saying? Okay. Some stuff you might have to scan in.
A
Yeah. Okay.
B
Some stuff you might have to scan in. But also, yes, I think you can get digital copies of things and you transfer it to the email. Or if you're at Best Buy, for example, and they're like, where do you want all your paperwork to go 5, 5, 5 Star Avenue for the new washer and dryer, or you're at Home Depot and you get a new refrigerator. You're like, 555 Star Avenue, and it all just lives there.
A
Yeah. And then you don't have use it for anything else.
B
I feel like you're a printer hater.
A
I am not a printer hater. We have a home printer.
B
You know what I'm getting you for your baby? A printer.
A
We have a printer.
B
Oh, you have a home printer?
A
I just don't use it yet.
B
Oh, I thought you said people don't have home printers anymore.
A
Well, to be fair, it's Patrick's. He brought it because he uses it for work. I don't think I use it for anything other than I've had to, like, print out something for my taxes.
B
Yeah, you'll probably use it a little more. What's the most millennial thing you think you do? If I print out my boarding pass. While you think about it, I can share with you one that I know that I do, and it's when I call places and I leave a voicemail and I leave my phone number twice.
A
What do you mean?
B
Well, I might be calling somewhere, like, my doctor's office, and they have caller ID or they've got my name on file, right? I'll be like, this is Amy Brown. And then I'll give my phone number, and then I'll say, like, while I'm calling, and I'll say, again, my number is. And I give it again.
A
If you want to grab a pen. My number is Wait. But I actually think about that because I always give my number two. I don't know if I do it twice.
B
I do it twice just in case.
A
Twice is crazy. But I do it, too, even though I know caller idea is a thing. But my thought is, I don't know how to end this. Like, the normal, like, flow is again, this is Catherine Van Buren. You can reach me at blank by blank. Thank you. Bye. It feels awkward not saying that to me, you know? How. How would you end it? This is just. Again, this is kind of.
B
Thanks. Thank you.
A
I'm not gonna give you my number because I know you have it.
B
Start saying, have the dating to have.
A
That's a good idea.
B
Do you have a voice message on your voicemail? Me neither.
A
And I should. I should, because I use my number for work, but you don't.
B
Whoa. You use it for a professional thing, and you don't have a. Hey, this Is Catherine van Buren with three chords therapy.
A
I had.
B
This is an emergency call 91 1.
A
No, I don't have that. I had it when I had a Google voice number, because you know how those work.
B
Yeah.
A
They, like, still call your phone. And then I like. You know, I have adhd, and something went on with that, and I lost that phone number. Still the phone number on the front of our building. So if you call that phone number, I don't know who you're getting.
B
So you're not trying to get new business, are you? I think you've got the. The clients that you.
A
I. I just hope that they mosey their way to the website. Yeah, but I should. I just hate. I don't.
B
I know.
A
Do you.
B
No, I don't have it. My sister and I were talking on my trip in Colorado. We were walking home from dinner one night and telling our kids how. Well, how it started was we started singing the entire theme song to the Fresh Prince of Bel Air and how we don't know, like, what we did yesterday, but we'll sing you every line to that TV theme song. And we were talking about how kids these days don't have TV theme songs that they memorize and know where. We had so many that we watched and knew, especially on tgif, like, all Full House, Family Matters. And then, for sure, Fresh Prince was just a very popular one. And then my home answering machine, I took that beat, and I had put it on the answering machine. And my sister was talking about how she was so embarrassed anytime her friends would call because it would be me. And she was telling my daughter, like, that. I didn't even have friends calling me. It was her friends that were calling. But then it was me being like, hello, we're the Muppets with the story to tell. We're not home at the moment, so don't have a cow. Just leave a little message at the sound of the tone, and we'll call back as soon as possible when we get home.
A
Beep.
B
And she hated your sister.
A
Could have deleted it, or that.
B
I think she did eventually.
A
Okay. What if a cute boy called in?
B
You know, I used to call my sister's boyfriends and pretend I was my sister. And I would say, I love you.
A
Stop it. Yes, I did it.
B
Yeah. Yeah. I would call and I would impersonate her.
A
You were mad at her?
B
No, but I was bored. And I would call them, and I would. I could sound just like her.
A
You could do it.
B
And. Well, we were back in the day. I don't know, even now, we still. We did that actually on this trip. Her son south was yelling up, mom. Mom. And I was like, yeah. And he was like, when are we having grapes? And she. She knew what he was talking about. I didn't. And I was like, grapes? And she was looking at me, like, trying to mouth, because she was up there with me while he was yelling. And she was like.
A
And.
B
And she was like, tomorrow. Tomorrow. I said, we're having grapes tomorrow. And she's like, no, crepes. He was saying crepes, but I was hearing grapes. So then he knew. He's like, this isn't mom, because we're not having grapes. We're having crepes. And so I messed it up. But we still will play that game with, like, her kids and try to act like we're each other. But I used to do it to her boyfriends, and I would profess her
A
love, Amy, to them, and they thought it was her.
B
Yeah.
A
And so did she want to murder you?
B
Yes. Murder. She did not like me. We're best friends now.
A
But, Amy, that is mean. Wait. But also really funny. How did she find out? Was her boyfriend call back later and was like, so now that we're in love.
B
Yeah.
A
Or.
B
I know that one time, she didn't know how many times I had done it. It was, like a running thing that I would do, and I think it was with this Brad. I won't say his last name, but I know for sure. And Brad, she walked in on me and yelled, and she was like, amy. And I was like, oh, Brad called. But that's what would happen. I don't even think I was actually calling them. I mean, they were calling the house, and then I would pick up, like, hello.
A
Did Brad say I love you back?
B
Well, of course.
A
Oh, no. Did she love Brad?
B
I think so.
A
Okay.
B
She got busted sneaking out to see Brad.
A
Well, so maybe you did her a favor because she was, like, scared to tell him, and then you did it for her.
B
She did not like that.
A
Oh, my gosh, that's funny. I was not the perfect sister, but I. I don't think I'd be alive today if I did that to my sister, to be honest. So thank God I never thought of that.
B
Yeah. So anyway, what's the most millennial thing you do?
A
I feel like I do a lot of millennial things that I don't actually. I'm, like, fine with doing the one that I think is my. Like, other than the fact that I look like I'm in my 30s that makes me look like a millennial is the. The laws, which we've talked about before. I cannot. For the longest time, I never used lol. And then I started using it, and I can't stop. Like, I cannot stop after every sentence. Sometimes when I'm like, I'll have the thought to read this text before I send it, and I'm like, oh, my gosh. I said law multiple times in these three sentences.
B
But I was thrown off by you saying lol.
A
Do you not read it as lol?
B
I read it as loll. Just now you said, it's the lulls at lulls, and I thought you were saying, like, lull.
A
Like, I was wondering why you were looking at me.
B
Or like, laws. I'm like, you don't. Following the law.
A
Lol.
B
Lol. Lol.
A
I. I, like, in my head, read it as lol. Like, hello, I can't stop. But that, I've learned, is a very millennial thing.
B
It is, it is.
A
But which is crazy, because I started doing that in the last couple of years of my life.
B
I didn't grow up lolling, but I do it too. So it's like, if older people are doing, it still makes it millennial.
A
Yeah. So I've been working on doing a little less, but not totally getting rid of it because it is part of who I am.
B
So I seen that millennials are love wearing their yoga pants everywhere. Or like, legging. Like. Like, yes, but the straight leg kind. That's what I love. But apparently the younger people wear more of the flared.
A
Okay, I will argue with that.
B
Okay.
A
Because I feel like millennials. I. We grew up wearing the leggings, the tights, and I feel like straight legs are a newer thing. I don't have any straight leg yoga pants.
B
You don't? What do you mean? What? You don't. That's all I have.
A
You don't have. You have leggings. Yeah, I only have leggings I don't
B
have with straight leg. Do you mean the kind of flare out at the bottom? Maybe this is the most millennial conversation we've ever had because we don't understand each other.
A
I have sweatpants.
B
Yeah. And then you have leggings, which would be like yoga pants. Like, when you see me come down, I'm going to Pilates.
A
I'm assuming you're gonna wear leggings,
B
which are yoga fans. Right. That's what. Like when I. When we went to the airport.
A
I actually have no idea what we're talking about. I'm Confusing myself.
B
Yoga pants.
A
Yoga pants. Are leggings okay?
B
They are. Okay. Same thing, right? Yeah.
A
All yoga pants are leggings, but not all leggings are yoga pants.
B
Yes.
A
Or maybe it's the river. Anyway, I don't have any flares, I will tell you that. So I'm definitely not a Gen Z. I did find, though, a list of things that make you look like a millennial, and I agree with some of them and disagree with some of them.
B
What are they?
A
Joggers? Like, are we not. Are we not wearing joggers anymore?
B
I love joggers.
A
I love a jogger. I have more joggers than I have straight leg yoga pants. Skinny jeans, which, like. Yeah, we know. I do hear they're coming back, so don't get rid of them.
B
I've heard that a lot, though. And then I still have yet to see them.
A
I also don't know if I want to go back there.
B
Yeah, I think I feel like I
A
thought it looked good at the time. And looking back, I'm like. I don't know if that was the best look for my shape.
B
I like the jeans that I have on right now, which are more of like a straight leg cigarette. I think they call it a cigarette cut.
A
What's that mean?
B
Like a straight leg little baggy. They're a little. They're not like super tight skinny jeans or skinny at the ankle. They just go like straight down. But they're not boot cut. They're more just cigarette.
A
Got it. Okay.
B
Got it. Leggings.
A
Yeah, leggings. Okay. Side part. Which, like. Yeah, okay. I. I've been toying with the idea of going back to a side part,
B
but probably because you're pregnant, you're gonna be a kid, you're gonna be a mom.
A
But what's crazy is I'm scared to go back to the side part, but for a while, I was scared to do a semi middle part, so I just gotta get the courage.
B
Sorry, did you say semi middle?
A
I think sometimes it's off centered. Is that what you call it?
B
Your. Your. Your goal is center, though, right?
A
Yeah, but I can never. Right.
B
You know what I do is I get a bobby pin and I put it right in the center of my nose, and then I take the bobby pin and I draw a line, and then that makes it perfectly centered. It's not semi centered.
A
I do that with like. I have a comb at the end that's just like, ooh, fancy.
B
It's like a. I know what you're talking about. Okay.
A
I Do that too. But then I always feel like I get off a little bit.
B
So semi central.
A
Semi. Okay. Peace signs and photos. Totally. And I can't stop.
B
I won't ever stop.
A
Yeah. It just is what it is. And I think Gen Z's do that too. I see little kids doing those poses in their Snapchats.
B
Little kids.
A
I don't see their Snapchat because they don't have Snapchat cats.
B
Like, all the little kids I snap with, they do Peace sign.
A
I take that back. That was weird. Okay. Downloading physical copies of things.
B
Yes. And printing them out.
A
Yeah. Doing things on a computer versus a phone, like shopping or booking a flight or speaking out of breath because I
B
can't see on my phone.
A
It's just. And like, it look, it's. You can have the windows and, like, you can have multiple things if you're comparing. I just. I like that the. Have you ever done a. I did a thing. Post. You like, post a picture and you're like, I did a thing.
B
I see other people do it and I think it's cute, but I've never done it.
A
I don't know that I've ever done it, but I might have.
B
Like, if I get a haircut, I'd be like, so I did a thing.
A
If you. But if you, like, chop your hair off. Yeah. Or if you, like, I don't know, bought a new car and wanted to post it.
B
Which, speaking of, you're probably going to be like Amy now.
A
Don't.
B
I know. I know I'm not going to chop my hair, but I want to. And I also really, really, really, really, really want bangs.
A
Well, get your clip ins.
B
No, I tried that. They don't stay in my bang clip ins. They don't stay in. And. And Ella Langley said bangs changed her life, her whole career.
A
Are you trying to change your career?
B
No, but I mean. No.

Okay. This is my thing with you. I think you look so cute with short hair. You're somebody who really can pull long, medium, short off. I'm not trying to just. Yes, but every time you do it, you've done it multiple times since I've known you. You get annoyed immediately. Like, two weeks later, you're like, I want my hair back. So I wish there was a way, like, you know, how if you have short hair, you can get extensions. I wish that if you had long hair, you could get invisible tape or something. I don't know. You just want it for, like. You just want it for like a week.
B
I guess I could get A wig and you pull your hair back and
A
you have a lot of hair to fit into a short wig.
B
People do it. I see. I mean, I think, like, if I was acting or maybe I just do it for whimsy, I get a wig.
A
Or if can. Is there a way for you to get extensions that cut into bangs versus your actual hair?
B
Oh, interesting.
A
Because I just don't.
B
So.
A
What do you mean? I don't. I don't know.
B
I could still have to cut your actual hair. I don't know. I'll ask my hair person, but I don't. It's a good question. And then I feel like you would see the little extension beads coming down. It would look like. It wouldn't look very.
A
It could be like a decoration thing. I don't know. If you really want to do it, go for it. But I'm just telling you the pattern that I've seen. Okay. Calling your husband hubby. Did you ever do that? No, I have never done that. I would. That feels. That feels more Boomer. Not Boomer, but. And not Elder Millennial, because I think we're Elder Millennials, but we're ten years apart. Okay. What?
B
I'm Elder Millennial.
A
Well, I was just trying to make you feel better. Thank you. It feels not.
B
Or nine. Yeah, nine or nine years.
A
This one. I do relate to looking at your phone when it rings and not answering it.
B

A
your phone, somebody's calling me and being like, oh, not gonna answer that one.
B
Is that's a millennial thing or just like a bandwidth Thing.
A
Or like they say millennials are like afraid of phone calls.
B
Oh, I think it's the younger people than us that are afraid of the phone. Well, I don't mind the phone. It's just sometimes if I'm over stimulated, I can't. Yeah, I may not be able to answer.
A
You semi relate drinking out of a Mason jar. Do you? That's what you do, don't you?
B
I used to. When I ordered new, I. They were too little. Everyone complaining that they're like everything.
A
He's like, do you want a glass of water? And it's literally, like, literally a shot of water.
B
I love those little tiny Mason jars that are like the diamond shape.
A
Yeah, I remember.
B
And I still have them in my cabinet.
A
But.
B
But so many people were like, okay,
A
can I have 4 ounces of 17 water?
B
So then I ordered glasses that are at least like 12 ounces.
A
And that's why you drink out of a measuring cup?
B
Yes, I want to order. My measuring cup right now is 8 ounces. But I had an idea the other day that. And now I'm glad I'm reminding myself of it. I need to go order it. I want to order it exactly. My exact measuring cup, but double. So the 16oz version, I hope they make it where the rim is the same.
A
That feels like a large.
B
Yeah, but I want to start drinking 16 ounces at a time. It's my new thing.
A
Okay.
B
Cuz I used to just like throw back 8 ounces but I'm like, you know, if this were double, I would get more water.
A
Look what you're doing, you're scaffolding yourself because you started with the four ounce cup, then you move it to the eight ounce measuring cup and now you're gonna go do a 16 ounce.
B
What?
A
I also learned about you on our trip, which I don't know if I knew this about you before, but I guess it makes sense now that I'm thinking about it. You like warm water.
B
I do not like cold. I love room temperature. It's not warm. It's room temp.
A
That can feel warm sometimes depending on what temperature the room is.
B
Oh yeah. I don't ever want it out of the.
A
She never wants ice. And you don't put ice in your. Like every night we would go to bed and we would fill up water cups and I would fill up one full with ice and you just water
B
straight tap or room that is refreshing.
A
Maybe. Okay, here's a thought. Maybe that's why you don't drink as much water because it's not as like. Like I love a good cold crisp. Especially in the middle of the night when you just chug some cold water.
B
Obviously I don't want to get up and have to pee. I don't know. I've just never really liked it cold. I mean, yeah, if it's a really hot day, then I'll.
A
You'll want. It was 105 degrees in Arizona and not once did you drink a cold drink. You drank your coffee hot in the morning when we were outside hiking. Yeah, you're like. You have. You know how we're warm blooded. I feel like you're maybe cold blooded and that's why you don't need.
B
But when we would get back, I would have my iced. It was cooler in the mornings there and I just. I. I was having a little hot cappuccino and then I was.
A
I'm like.
B
And I. Huffing and puffing latte after. You know what else I do is I am standing up for people on airplanes that.
A
Yes, you are.
B
Are standing up to people that are cutting the line. Because it's always been one of my biggest pet peeves. And I don't know that I ever speak up. And maybe it was traveling with you being pregnant and I was protective of you. But there were people when we landed trying to get up and exit the plane when it wasn't their turn. There's a process to de planing you get off the plane in the order of which it trinkles back to you. Except for some people in the back. The plane parks and they get up and immediately start walking forward. And then they cause all these little traffic traffic jams without realizing it. It's like, do they have no self awareness at all? I try to give them the benefit of doubt and maybe assume this is the first time they've traveled. Maybe they don't know the rules. Or if you have a flight to catch that is the only exception to the rule. If you have a somewhere to be, then you make that known. Hey, I have a connection to catch. We're a little behind. I'm cutting it close. Do you mind if I go and. Yes.
A
And you ask politely.
B
People are gonna let you go. Who wouldn't? If they don't, then kick them in the shit and go like that's weird.
A
It would be weird. I mean. But don't kick them because you could get like on a no fly list.
B
Like don't. Don't kick them. But what.
A
Who. That's why.
B
Who doesn't do that? Who doesn't let somebody go if they have a flight to catch. But if you have nowhere to be and you're just marching your little butt down the plane to get off before everybody else. No. And there was someone that was trying to. Actually multiple people trying to pass you. And these two women I could barely even deal with that were trying to do it. And then comes this man. Well, a big old man.
A
I was already standing up because I was trying to stretch my legs because I was sitting for so long. I'm afraid of getting blood clots. So I'm standing up kind of in the aisle, kind of in my seat, halfway. Then all these people show up and take it away because you did all the talking.
B
Well, and then the women were so annoyed. You were blocking. But then the other people around us were annoyed at those women, too, for coming up. And so, of course, everyone was exchanging looks, and I was just being protective of you, and they were not gonna be able to get by. And then I think they weaseled their way through.
A
When you asked them, you said, yeah.
B
I said, do you have a flight to catch?
A
And they said, yes. And so you. You go really nicely. You said, okay, well, then go ahead. And as soon as that happened, okay, you're right.
B
I let. They didn't weasel the way through. Yeah, I let them through, which saw them in the airport later. They did not have a flight to catch. No, no, no, no, no. But they got through. Then here comes a big old man, and he's walking down the aisle, and I put my hand up, and I
A
was like, you literally go.
B
I go. I go, no, no, no, no, no. And I was like, who am I? I don'. I just had had enough, and it is a pet peeve of mine. But again, I normally don't speak up.
A
Yeah.
B
But I held my ground with that man, and I did not let him pass.
A
Well, I just thought it was crazy. I think that's crazy when people do that in general. What was crazy is after those two women went, like, two other people then rushed past, and then that guy was coming, too, and I'm visibly pregnant. Yeah. That's what I think. Blows my mind. I was talking to Shannon about this earlier today that I thought, when you're pregnant, people will treat you differently. Like, you. You wouldn't let me lift my suitcase. And that was really nice. If I had to do it, I would have been able to do it. But it was nice that you didn't need to.
B
Yeah.
A
So I'm just thinking, like, I'm standing up. I'm pregnant. You think this guy would just be like, go ahead. Instead, he tried to push me back into my seat. And that's when you put the hand up. And I was like, I feel like you're like my, like my mother bear right now. It was really sweet.
B
Oh, you're welcome. Yeah, well, he annoyed me. And then I saw him wandering through the airport later. He had nowhere to be. I mean, I got off the plane. You were in the bathroom. And these other people that were near us, they came up and they were like, that was awesome. Good job.
A
And I was like, yeah, you're like a small hero.
B
I was like, anytime, no problem. I got you. But I just couldn't believe it. I can't. So you're listening and maybe you just don't have this knowledge yet. You, you need to wait your turn to deplane. I really just like to assume people don't know. But then I'm like, do they not have any self awareness? Remember that guy that was on the tram ATL and the Atlanta airport? And, and, and it was abruptly starting and stopping because we had already been on the tram. And he got on with his kids. And I tried to tell the little kid, I'm like, hold on, hold on, hold on. And the guy like looked at me like weird, like, stop talking to my kid. And then the tram took off and the kid, they all fall over. And I was like, oh my gosh, I was just trying to help.
A
The kid looked at you like, dad, she's trying to steal me. Like it was like stranger danger. But that all that blew my mind. Maybe they had never been to that airport or something before.
B
They never been on a tram before.
A
Because if that was me, I'd be like, everybody, hold on, kids. Yeah, the guy did a little tumbling.
B
Yeah. And I was like, well, sorry, I can only help you so far.
A
You can only help people that want to be helped.
B
You can only have people that want to be helped. Yeah. I do have three signs that you're annoying.
A
It's one of them. You run up to the front of the airplane. Yeah.
B
You d plane before it's your turn. Sign number one. No, three signs that you're annoying and no one's going to tell you about it.
A
Okay.
B
So if you do any of these three things, like you might be annoying. However, I wonder if people even have the self awareness that they're doing stuff like this. Like sign number one would be. You complain all the time. Nothing is ever good enough. Do you think that complainers know?
A
No, I think I Mean, I become aware when I complain, but I think the people that are doing it like this, that's just like their baseline. They're never satisfied. I think that's how they.
B
No, what about if you say whatever comes to your mind and you think you're just being honest, but really you're being inconsiderate because you're not really thinking through before you say something that could potentially be hurtful.
A
But you.
B
Those people might actually see it as, like, a quality. They have to speak their mind.
A
That reminds me when people are like, I'm not a bad word. I'm just being honest. Or I just say. I just say what's on my mind, or I just tell people the truth and I'm like, that's not a. That doesn't work that way. Like, you don't always have to say everything. So I think people that, like, do that a lot. Yeah, you're right. Think that it's okay. They think that, like, oh, this is just a quality of mine.
B
I think it is good to speak your mind at times and be one of those people. Just tell it like it is. But then you have to have.
A
But don't be mean.
B
Awareness.
A
Yeah.
B
Sort of like the plane. People like you. There are appropriate times to deplane.
A
Yeah.
B
Early. But, yeah. You have to have awareness of when that is. You don't have a flight to catch,
A
then you don't do it.
B
I tie everything back to getting off the plane early.
A
I wish I could find that man and just send this episode to him and give him a little lesson.
B
The third and final sign is you make every conversation about you so matter. No matter what someone else is saying, you have this beautiful skill of turning the entire conversation to something about you.
A
Here's a thought I'm having. I do all of these things at times, so would you like to tell me something? No. Okay.
B
You don't complain about everything, but you
A
know that I did talk to you recently about how I. I'm gonna try to be more positive about things because I can get.
B
I can complain, too. This is. You complain about most everything.
A
Everything.
B
And I don't put you in that category.
A
Okay.
B
Are you.
A
I'm just checking in.
B
I know. Well, I would check in on the one. Like, I feel like a lot of times sometimes I'll. I love how I'm. Like a lot of times sometimes maybe just a little bit. Can actually talk about myself.
A
Well, I do that, too.
B
And some of that is our. With our. We always have a story to tell.
A
Yeah.
B
You know, with Our. They say that that's an ADHD thing,
A
but I also think that's part of. That's a finesse, too. Like, that's a. That's part of conversation is okay if you relate to it. You can share your story, but let's make sure that this person is done with their like. Or I'm gonna share my story and then come back. I do think that you do that a lot of times. You'll share your thing, but then you'll. You do come back and, like, check in. Oh, well.
B
Because I think I'm actively trying because I just made it about me. I better go circle back.
A
But that's also how conversation works. Sometimes. It's like I say something, they're like, oh, yeah, this happened to me.
B
And I've been doing that finger cross thing. Like, I'll either move my ring to another finger or I'll cross my finger. If I'm like, okay, I do have something to say, and I don't want to forget, but I want to let this be person finish talking. I don't want to interrupt. So then. And then. And then by the time they get done talking, I'm like, why did I cross my fingers? And I don't remember? And then if it. If I don't remember, then, oh, well, it wasn't meant to be.
A
I don't see you as somebody who does, like, says, like, whatever comes to mind. And then it's just like, I'm just honest. I don't get that you don't do that, but sometimes I. I don't. Okay.
B
No, I don't. No, I. No, I know what this is. Like, my daughter has this.
A
Okay.
B
She speaks her mind very.
A
What's the word?
B
Blunt.
A
Blunt.
B
Yes. And. And we're working on that because she. You know, and she'll be like, what? And just. I tell it like it is.
A
Like, well, I always have to do that.
B
We need to look at our company, who we're with. And while I don't want to rob her of that trait, like, because I do think there is.
A
It can be good.
B
Yes. And there can be some courage in there. And it could be brave at some points, like, you. You know, to speak up where others may not. And there also are times where it's just not appropriate. Like, we were at dinner the other night with a group of people, and she said something, and I don't want to say it because it's. She could say it if she wanted to, but involves other people. And I was like, we got in the Car. I had to say, like, I love that you speak your mind, and that's great. I just think that that comment in particular could be hurtful, even though that other person wasn't there. And I know you didn't mean anything bad. It's just not your cup of tea, and that's okay. But not everybody at the table needs to know it's not your cup of tea, because then it made somebody else uncomfortable because maybe it's a little bit of their cup of tea.
A
Yeah.
B
You know what? Yeah. It was about this one particular person. She's like, what? I don't like that person. I'm like, well, the other people at the table did. And now it's like, you have every right to not vibe with that person. That's totally great. But do we need to announce to the whole table? No, no. And I think to you. I think, yeah, you can talk to me about it all day long. Tell me more.
A
Why don't you let me.
B
Now that we're in the car, let's go. What's up? What happened? Who is it? You know what?
A
What'd they do?
B
So, yeah, there's that. Something else that happened on our trip was Kat was very emotional leading up to our trip and then on the trip and maybe even still. And I don't want to bring it up right now if you're going to cry, but you cried a lot, and
A
I think I did pretty good.
B
Like, there was a baby crying on the plane, and that was making you cry.
A
Yes, that is.
B
And then there was a mom that maybe we were guessing this is what happened. We don't know for a fact, but a mom was in on the flight deck with the pilots, also known as cockpit, and they were coming out. We have no idea if he was just getting a little tour or if you decided, oh, that kid must be anxious and he's nervous about flying, so the pilots let him go back there. I don't know if that's exactly what happened, but that was making you emotional.
A
I think that is what. I think I heard that.
B
Okay, you did.
A
I think I heard the. The kid being like, they're walking out of it. And I think that he was, like, being calmed down. Like, he got to see what was going on up there. They got to meet the pilots, know who's flying the plane. And that got me. Like, that is so. I think that got me. Because that is so sweet that the pilots would do that.
B
Well, you were definitely. Oh, you're gonna cry right now. Oh, my gosh. Am I. Making you cry?
A
I. It just. I. There's something about flying and kids, and maybe it's because I have, like, future anxiety about, like, what's it gonna be like? And I. And I imagine taking kids on a flight. You don't want to, like, annoy people or. And you can't control a. A little kid or a baby. You can't. You just can't control if they have anxiety, they have anxiety. If they have. Are crying, they're crying like babies. Ear pressure. I don't know. And so I think I make up that parents have more anxiety maybe than they do. And then. So I feel that for them. Does that make sense?
B
Yeah, totally.
A
I didn't tell you this, but on my flight home, this was kind of crazy. I. There was two babies on the plane and then one pregnant lady. We all sat in a line. I like, did they put us together for a reason? Because they knew I'm not going to be annoyed if the baby's crying. But it was. Oh, that was so sweet. It was a. It was like a. A young mom
B
cat's crying.
A
She was with her sister. I don't know why I'm crying, because it was not sad, but she was like. It was really sweet because she had her baby, like, was wearing her. And then she was, like, trying to. I've got to go back to therapy and talk about this. But she was trying to, like, get a couple things out of her bag before she sat down in her seat. And she was, like, holding up the line. And then the sister had all this stuff in her hand so she couldn't help her. And so, like, all the people around her was, like, trying to help her get her.
B
And you were like, nobody's helped me. I'm pregnant.
A
I was like, screw this. Oh, it was just really sweet. And you could tell that the girl was like, felt bad for holding up the line. But I was like, don't worry about it. Like, these people can wait. And then she had to sit by the window. And I know she didn't want to sit.
B
Why did she? What?
A
Because she asked the lady that was sitting in the aisle. Oh, my God. She asked the lady that was sitting in the aisle on her row, like, would it make you more comfortable to sit by the window so I can see? Because, you know, if the baby had to go to the bathroom or something, it's easier for her to get up. And the woman said, no, that. I was like, oh, shoot. You could tell that lady was like, I don't want to be in this row everybody else had a baby or was pregnant or is the sister of the and I was sitting next to a woman with like a more like she was probably like three months old in a car seat. So there's only two people in our row and I almost offered my aisle seat but I knew I was going to have to pee like four or five times and I knew that would be more annoying for her so I didn't but that I felt like really bad for her when she had the courage to ask like do you want to sit by the window? And the woman just said no, like straight faced. So anyway I I did cry on that flight because the woman next to me, the baby cried a lot and I felt really bad for her. She was so calm the whole time. This is great content, isn't it?
B
Well, we did get a voicemail from Linda in Kansas who was listening to our episode last week and she sent in voicemail talking about how emotional she would get as well. So this is a voicemail about moms crying a lot. So get used to it, okay? Okay, quick break.

This is Linda from Kansas. I'm 34. Love the show. I was listening to the show, the podcast, and Cat gets emotional about the video on TikTok about what to pack and it's not even supposed to be emotional. And she already said that she's an emotional person. I'm just thinking, oh my gosh, like becoming a mother, like makes you that much more emotional about everything. Like I was never this much of a crier before I became a mom four years ago and I just like I cry at everything and the drop of the hat and it's just like what is wrong with me? So good luck, Kat. I know you're gonna be an amazing mother, but you're gonna cry a lot more, even more than what you do now, so. All right. Love the show.
B
Keep it up. So there you go.
A
Good luck.
B
Yeah, good luck. You're not alone. I did think that you were gonna cry and then murder me.
A
Oh, yeah.
B
Huh. After that brief moment where you thought I killed your baby.
A
I did not think you killed my baby. Well, no, no, no. Part of my anxiety was fearing that you would feel like you did, and I didn't want you to take that responsibility. So do you want. Do you want to share what had happened?
B
Well, so at Canyon Ranch, they had this immortal chamber is what it was called, but. And it's a red light bed, but it does other things. Like, there's oxygen. There's electron words, like sound. Someone's talking to you like a. A robot. And it's this whole situation.
A
Like.
B
I don't know. They're like, now relax into your. And then it's like, trip, trip, chirp. And I don't know if there's other things happening.
A
I think there's like. Like currents putting.
B
Yeah.
A
Being put in your body, too.
B
It was amazing. I loved it a lot. Well, Kat was in there, and I was like, oh, here, I'm gonna give my phone. Either I was giving you my phone, or you were giving the phone to me, but I was already laying in there. And we shocked each other. We got shocked. Kat said she got electrocuted, but I was like, no, it's like a shock. Like when you pull stuff out of the dryer or you shuck. Like, it was a shock, and it was. It was a jolt, but it was. You weren't electrocuted.
A
It was a. It was that. It was. It was.
B
You're acting like your hair was like. Like you're stuck.
A
But it wasn't just like a static electricity. Like a. It was like a. It was long.
B
Okay.
A
Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
B
It wasn't.
A
It was.
B
It was.
A
But in my head, it was.
B
But it was. You keep going. But I thought I was like, okay, everything's okay. And I didn't. I wanted you to be okay. But then later, you admitted to me that you were very worried that I was going to be worried because you were getting a massage, and you said you couldn't feel the baby move.
A
So when I got my massage, the baby moved a lot. I was getting a facial after this happened, and the baby didn't. She didn't move. The Whole time, so. And that's kind of weird. I'm at the point now where she is. She's kicking this whole time. I can feel her. And so if time goes by, if, like 30 minutes go by and I don't feel her, I do get a little bit like, ooh, whatcha doing? So I was worried. And what my anxiety said during this facial was, well, that might have shocked her heart. And she has a fragile heart. She's probably just laying in your belly now and laughing now.
B
Cause we know she's fine.
A
She's fine. I just had a doctor's appointment today. She's totally fine.
B
Yeah, the baby is fine.
A
But my fear was. My fear was this. What is this going to do to Amy and I's friendship?
B
Because Kat had already ended our friendship.
A
No, no, no. I didn't want it to be ended because I.
B
You. You. You were thinking I wouldn't be able to handle that I killed your baby. That's what my anxiety told me.
A
So what I was. What I was worried about is I was like, Amy's going to. I know. Amy, Amy, she's going to feel responsible, but it's not her fault. Like, she didn't know that was going to happen. And I don't know how we would move on from this because I think it would just be too big of a thing. I don't know. And so then I just felt really bad. And then I was like, oh, no. And then the last five minutes of this facial, I got a little tap, tap on my belly. So she was. She was okay. But it did impact the enjoyment. I mean, the facial was awesome, but it did. I wish I wasn't thinking that during it, you know?
B
Yeah.
A
So luckily I did get an ultrasound today. Her heartbeat is right on track.
B
Did you tell the doctor?
A
I did not. He was like, do you have any questions? I was like, nope, not at all. Everything's fine. And we've been fine this whole time.
B
Yeah. No, no, no.
A
So I'm glad that you didn't. But also, I googled, can getting electrocuted hurt a baby? But.
B
But you didn't get electrocuted. You got shocked. I do feel like that's different.
A
But it can. But I just want people to know, don't electrocute yourself. It can. Shocking. It said if it's like a shock, like what you're saying it was like
B
static electricity,
A
then it's probably fine if it's just like skin to skin, like. But if it enters into your body, it can affect the baby. So just don't get struck by lightning. Or they said it was talking about, like, plugs. Don't suck your outlets like that.
B
Don't stick your finger in an outlet.
A
Don't. Don't do it if you're pregnant.
B
Shannon says an electric shock is simply a non fatal contact with the electricity that causes a physical reaction or injury. While electrocution specifically refers to an electrical shock that results in severe injury or death. That was Cat. Cat's like, I just got electrocuted. We went to bed that night and Kat would FaceTime with Patrick before we would go to bed. And she was like, explaining to him that night that she got electrocuted. And I just was like, she got shocked.
A
But Patrick.
B
So did I.
A
So Patrick's like, yeah, I don't.
B
Well, oh, yeah, tell him. At the beginning of the trip, I was like, cat's anxiety is so cute. And her husband was like, oh, yeah, just wait. And then by the end of the trip, I. By the end of the trip, I was like, it's not cute anymore.
A
It's because we. Remember we sat down. When we sat down on the plane, I was like, phew. The back of our. This was so cool to me. The back of the seat, the. The TV where your team is, where you're sitting would say, I said our name. So it said like, Catherine. It said D because I use my made a name. And I was like, oh, that feels so nice to know we're in the right seat. And Amy was like, why wouldn't we be in the right seat? I was like, I don't know. Sometimes it's confusing, like the way that
B
it's written, and it can be confusing. On my flight home from Colorado, there was a woman in my seat. And I was like, oh, are you 12D or whatever? I was. And she was like, no, I'm 11D. I said, oh, well, you're in 12D because that's 11D. But then there was someone in 11D. So somebody along the. Like, who knows where it started. But there was a mistake. And somehow there was an empty seat near me that somebody else was supposed to be in there. Like, oh, shoot, I think I'm supposed to be over there on that one. And I was like, everybody stay. Everybody stay. I'm just gonna take this empty seat because I was. That just seemed simple. And when I sat down, this woman next to me, she goes, well, that was refreshing. And I was like, what? And she was like, just that you just took her seat and it didn't cause this chaos. And Nobody got mad. But I do understand people if they want a specific. Like, I didn't care if I was aisle, window, middle.
A
If it was. If you had to end up in a middle seat, would you have done the same thing?
B
It wasn't. I think I was in the middle. It wasn't mine. It wasn't the seat that I had. It just. That made it simple. And of course, I would prefer an aisle. I used to love a window in my younger days, but now that if. In case I have to use the restroom, I want that access. And I just thought, wow, okay. She found this refreshing, like most people. Like you were saying that story earlier, that mom. That was like, oh, I'd like the aisle. And that one was like, no. Which. Everybody has the right to the aisle. If maybe she has her own health issues that we don't know about. Anxiety, Total or. Yes. So totally fine. It's just.
A
Yeah.
B
I guess more times than not, sometimes people are.
A
I. I don't think I would have done that if I. If it was a. If it was a aisle or a.
B
I know, but do you know how many people it was gonna be? Like musical chairs? Like, everybody trying to figure out where they were supposed to be. And it was just like. Let's just. It was a 45 minute flight.
A
Okay. I thought it was from Colorado to Nashville.
B
No, I mean, it was maybe Durango to. I can't remember where I was then.
A
That is okay. Then I. I'm not. I might do that.
B
It wasn't bad.
A
So anyway, so Amy doesn't think my anxiety is cute anymore and the baby's okay.
B
I still think it's a little bit cute. I just thought it was funny that I told Patrick I thought it was cute, and he was like, yeah, just wait. And I was like, no, I'm never gonna get sick of it. And then like, three days. Three days later, I'm like, okay, can
A
we wrap this up?
B
Because I traveled with you before.
A
It's not like. And I had an.
B
I know, but I've never traveled with you pregnant. Yeah, it's different, but not bad. I think there's just new anxieties, and
A
I think that they're cute sometimes.
B
Unless you think I electrocuted your baby. Anyway, it was good times, Cat and I. Overall, let's rate our trip. I give it 10 out of 10.
A
Well, I have to give it a 10 out of 10 now. I'm gonna do it.
B
Speak your mind.
A
I. I'm gonna give it a 9.5. Just because I had an hour of thinking my baby died.
B
Okay, I'll give it a 9.5. Because we had to see naked people.
A
Yeah.
B
And then. Oh, I'll give it. This has nothing to do Canyon ranch. I give 10 out of 10. But travel home. My TSA expired.
A
That's what it was.
B
Huh? I would. I. And I didn't know it had expired because I traveled there with my TSA Precheck working. And then I. When we got to the airport, which we didn't have a lot of time to spare, I went through the TSA pre check, and by the time I got up to him, he was like, you don't have TSA pre on your ticket. And I'm like, sure I do. It's in the fine print. And he's like, no, it's not on there. And I was like, what? Guess I don't know if I've gotten to update you on this because you had to go catch your flight because you were going to Nashville and I was going to Colorado. I was in a little bit of a pickle because then I had to go get into the standard line, and it was long.
A
I was worried.
B
I was so nervous I was going to miss my flight. So while I'm in line, I'm trying to figure out what in the world has happened. Turns out my TSA Precheck expired while we were at Canyon Ranch.
A
That is nuts.
B
What are the odds? It's good for five years and it expires expired. So I had to renew it. And heads up, if you want to renew, you have to. You can either renew it right away. If it's before it expires, you're good to go. If it is expired, you have to wait three business days.
A
Do you have to go in?
B
No, you can do it online.
A
Okay, few. Because that would be like when your driver's license expires. Yeah, that wasn't good.
B
But heads up, if you have a taste TSA PreCheck and you think you're nearing your expiration, just go ahead and give it a look.
A
See? And Amy, that is just a piece of why I like to get to the airport extra early, because you never know what kind of thing you're going to run into.
B
Yeah, but guess what?
A
I made my flight by the skinnier teeth. Is that the phrase? I was talking to Patrick. I don't know if Amy's going to make it.
B
I was the last person to board. I was the last person to board the flight. For sure, you did make it. You know, live and learn. Live and learn. You live and you learn. All right. Well, I hope y' all had a good week. Not everybody was on vacation like us. I get that. But I hope you had a good Fourth of July. Yeah. And that. Gosh, can you believe it's already July? We're already going to be almost. Think about it. And just seven more days. It's going to be halfway through July.
A
That's crazy.
B
And then seven more days after that. Three quarters. And then seven more days after that.
A
It'll be over.
B
I know. And then your baby shower is going to be August. It's.
A
Yeah.
B
Come August 1st.
A
Yeah. And then the baby's gonna be here.
B
Cat was having a lot of anxiety about her baby shower, but that's her story to tell.
A
Oh, we can talk about that another day. That's probably also why my anxiety wasn't cute anymore, because that was annoying. I talked about it a lot, but.
B
But we solved it. Don't you think? Don't you think it was good because we solved it? Didn't we come up with a. We. We came up with a plan. Like, it was good that you were. We had. We had time.
A
Yeah.
B
To talk it out.
A
Talk through it. I didn't sleep over this. Yeah.
B
Yeah.
A
So. But then I think you're. You not being part of my family and saying what you said made me feel better, you know? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. So thank you for that. Are you sure you felt refreshed after your trip?
B
100. I still had fun with you no matter what. I'm sure I did things that were. I mean, your stuff wasn't even bad. It was just your cute little anxiety that. That got a little out of control. But we got it all resolved.
A
Yeah.
B
And you're aware of it?
A
Yeah, for the most part. Yeah.
B
I can't think of one thing you weren't aware of.
A
Yeah. I knew I was being annoying with the baby shower, but I couldn't stop at the same time.
B
Right. So then that's why we paused and I think we figured it out.
A
Yeah.
B
And then. Ta da.
A
It's happening.
B
Okay.
A
Okay.
B
All right. Have the baby shower you need to have and have the day you need to have. Bye.
A
Bye. Foreign.
B

"I go, 'Do you have a flight to catch?'...if they said yes, I let them through." – Amy (41:57)
