This week Nikki & Brie are back in the Speakeasy! While both sisters are beaming with pride that their favorite football team, a family legacy, has advanced in the NFL playoffs, Brie has been dealing with a house full of anarchy because of the flu. Both Nikki & Brie watched the Eagles beat the Rams on Sunday, and it was a rollercoaster ride of a game; Nikki found herself watching the game in the next room, and Brie was full of distress like she was watching a character run the wrong way in a horror movie. The Birds got it done, though, and everyone in the family is pumped up for the NFC title game. Nikki & Brie both have a lot of connections with this Eagles team that go beyond family ties, including winning awards with Saquon Barkley and a great meet-up with Jalen Hurts last off-season. Brie’s so fired up that she made plans to go to Philadelphia to watch the Eagles vs. the Commanders IN PERSON! So you just might see Brie Mode at the Linc this Sunday…or you might see Brie pl...

Bri
Okay, so cool. When people go, what are the cool things about being a twin? This right here. I'm gonna pretend I am Nikki.
Unknown
Just don't get into Bri mode, then. Because if you get into Brie mode and then you're pretending like you're me, that can really screw things up for me better.
Bri
This is the Nicki and Bri Show. Hello, everyone, and welcome back to the Nikki and Bri Show. Hello, Nikki.
Unknown
Hello. And we bleed green.
Bri
That is right. With big, happy hearts.
Unknown
That is right.
Bri
I mean, as you could tell, Nikki and I have big smiles on our faces after beating the Rams this past Sunday.
Unknown
That's right. Huge Eagles victory. The house was excited. Mateo said, go Eagles about a hundred times. I've never been so nervous in my life. I honestly, I have, but you know what I mean.
Bri
I mean, I wish, like, for any type of fan, when you're watching those type of games when anyone could win in any minute, right. I wonder if you put monitors up to us, the blood pressure, how the heart races, like, what it would say.
Unknown
Even the look, because I was like, when the Rams were going down and had those, you know, few lost plays, and I was like, if they score, like, that's it. Like, we. We don't have enough time to get it back. I mean, unless maybe we do a Hail Mary. But I was like, I can't even watch this. But I found myself in the kitchen peeking around the fridge, still watching it, because of course I have to watch it, but I don't want to watch it because I'm So nervous. And Mateo's just looking at me like, oh, my goodness. And I'm like, this is killing me.
Bri
I know. It's almost like a scary movie where you're like, don't run into the woods. And they're running in the woods. It's like that moment for me, but I'll be, like, sitting there watching because I'm like you. Not a lot of times do you get this nervous, and I want to.
Unknown
Feel it and know it, but it's a great game.
Bri
It really was. Well, it's funny because I was talking to mom, and she was like, yeah, I was working out today, my Eagle jersey. And this guy yells out across the gym, and he was like, you got lucky against the Rams. Mom's like, oh, my gosh. Just because they're Philadelphia and it's snowing doesn't mean all of a sudden you could play in the snow no matter what. It's hard for anyone and play in the snow.
Unknown
Right? And it started to come down more in the second half. Like, they could have stacked up the score before it started snowing. So.
Bri
And also, I'm going to say this. It's like, I felt some of the Rams strengths actually worked better in the snow compared to the Eagles, who run like Barkley, who we rely on a lot on offense. Like, he kept slipping when the snow was coming down hard. I'm like, ooh, we can't keep passing the ball to him.
Unknown
But those Philadelphia Eagle snow angels. Yes, I. I liked a little. Did. I'm doing the Angels.
Bri
I mean, that was really so good. But I. The.
Unknown
Both teams, amazing.
Bri
Both teams, amazing.
Unknown
Thank you for a great game.
Bri
Because of everything going on in Los Angeles, a part of me was like, this would be a huge win for la, and I felt that. But my Eagles, you know, it was. I was torn. I was really torn. But I'm happy the Eagles won. And guess what, everyone. I'm going to Philadelphia this week.
Unknown
So jealous.
Bri
I am over the moon. I can't even believe it, by the way.
Unknown
I can't believe it either. I cannot go to the game.
Bri
I'm gonna be in that stadium. I'm in the stands. And we all know I'm a true fan. You'll never, ever in your life see me wearing a Dallas Cowboys jersey, Giants jersey, or commander's jersey. I bleed green. I have my whole life.
Unknown
But I will say that I don't know. You had a crush on Dan Sanders when you were young.
Bri
That was middle school. I was. It was in my rebel years. I Will say this. I am going with six of my cousins, and I just. It's gonna be. It's gonna be such.
Unknown
It's gonna be epic.
Bri
I know.
Unknown
So sad. I can't go.
Bri
I can't believe you're not coming. Like, I honestly feel like it's not real. Like, you're gonna. You're supposed to be fine with me. I know, but you're a good mama.
Unknown
I'm a good mama. I'm staying home with Teo. But it. I was like, dang. I would do.
Bri
I.
Unknown
Like, it's really hard. Not especially with you and the cousins. Like, all of us who just truly bleed green together, pop up all the memories and to be there, you know, the game before super bowl. And I agree. When all the cousins were like, it's so much better to go to this game and be in Philly and to go for the NFC championship, be there together. I do see when you guys all made this decision, it's better than a Super bowl in that way, for sure.
Bri
Well, and it was funny because I'm, like, looking through, like, what am I gonna wear? Because I have plenty of eagle gear. But I was like, dang. My, like, sparkly, cute stuff is, like, crop tops. And I'm like, it's gonna be 45 degrees.
Unknown
I have some cute winter coats you can take that are sporty. Like, okay. Like, I have a black one that's so cute.
Bri
Can I borrow that?
Unknown
It's crop, but, like, you wear other stuff.
Bri
No, because I. My look, I'm thinking is, like, sport, sporty, cold. Does that make sense?
Unknown
Totally. And by the way, I have some really cute black snow boot style that are.
Bri
But are comfy to walking.
Unknown
Yeah. I mean, snow boots are.
Bri
I'm tailgating everyone. It's gonna be like, where's Waldo? Where's Brie? Look for me.
Unknown
Yeah, look.
Bri
You know what I mean? Look for me. Give me a hype and be sad for me. Yeah.
Unknown
Just kidding.
Bri
But I was thinking. But then I have some, like.
Unknown
I mean, trust me, I looked. I was like, what if Teo came? But I'm like, it's too much for him.
Bri
Well, you never know.
Unknown
I don't know. Being in the stands, like, no, he can't be.
Bri
He can't be at the game.
Unknown
Yeah, the game can't.
Bri
No.
Unknown
Next time. It's okay. Mateo and I will be looking for you guys when we watch. He's. But it's fun because I've actually have had him the past two games, and we've really enjoyed it. And it's cute just to see him, how he was this game, you know, since the last game, and he was really into it and he. Now he just gets excited. Especially when I get excited or when I yell no or react and how he gets. And so it'll be fun for us to watch and then to say, auntie Breezy's out there. Auntie Chrissy. Find them.
Bri
I don't know if you'll be able to see me on camera.
Unknown
Tie, tie.
Bri
I'm not in the front row. But I, you know. Yeah, but you never know. They know. Hey, they never know. But I never know. Good seats.
Unknown
You better give us so much social content or I'll be so mad.
Bri
I know, but you know how I am in these moments. Sometimes I forget to pull up my phone.
Unknown
I know I'm the same. But, like, just try because we're all going to have fomo. So we just give it to us.
Bri
Yeah. I'm going to wear fanny. I'll wear a fanny pack. So it can be easy for me to.
Unknown
And I have that, too, if you need.
Bri
I have a couple. But you might have a cuter one.
Unknown
I have some really cute.
Bri
I'm going to go to your house tomorrow.
Unknown
I will say.
Bri
Wait, you're not. Oh, yeah. You'll be home tomorrow. I can go. Go in.
Unknown
Yeah. But I will say, if we. If I was a Washington Commander fan, the red outfits that I have, that would have been so hot.
Bri
Yeah. Well.
Unknown
But I have some really hot black ones. I don't think I have anything green. But that's when you tie in your eagle merch with what I have.
Bri
Black.
Unknown
Yeah.
Bri
That'll be the only thing I was thinking.
Unknown
But I mean, my black snow. And you're going to be obsessed with.
Bri
Yeah, I know, Exactly. I definitely want that. But my Eagle sweaters that I have, they're super cute. But they're big. They're bigger. Like, I got them. Like, they're.
Unknown
I mean, I have my one corset.
Bri
The outfit is important.
Unknown
It's very important. You know, it could be hot with my corset that I've seen people do. Do you have like any of those black joa brown long sleeves? I do. And then you put the corset over. Or do you have like a black.
Bri
When I put the course under armor.
Unknown
One of those style.
Bri
Or do I wear one of my jerseys and put the corset.
Unknown
I don't know how that would look. You could try, but I've seen people do like black long sleeves and then put a Corset with it.
Bri
Oh, I thought you meant a long sleeve corset.
Unknown
No, no, no. You do like, you know, the Joe Brown, like basic long sleeves, which I have. Yeah. And then you put the corset over. I have an eagles corset. You know what I'm saying?
Bri
I want that.
Unknown
Yeah, yeah. Oh, I'm like, that would be hot.
Bri
Have a really but. And I don't think it'd be too weird. And it's from aloe. There's snow thing like a couple seasons ago, but it's like snow shirt. But like, it obviously goes. And if I wanted to put the head, it would give me a circle. But I don't. But I mean, yeah, but it's skin type. But it's the material that would be warm. But it's skin.
Unknown
Bring it just in case. Because, I mean, if it was like.
Bri
Last Sunday, supposed to be 45 degrees.
Unknown
I mean, that's freezing.
Bri
It's freezing.
Unknown
Yeah.
Bri
And I'm from California.
Unknown
Right. No, you're born in rallies.
Bri
Like, raised in the desert.
Unknown
Like, you know, it's gonna be so. What a memory. It's with the cousins. I love it.
Bri
You know, it's great group. It's a good group.
Unknown
It's a good group.
Bri
Good group. Group. Oh, my God, I'm excited for you guys. Thank you. Yeah, I'll be thinking of you.
Unknown
Thanks.
Bri
I'll get you something a little merchy. Oh, yeah, please.
Unknown
I want something Sequan.
Bri
Okay, I'll get you something.
Unknown
Yeah, I need some Barkley merch.
Bri
Yeah. Part of me thinks I should go to this game and pretend I'm you.
Unknown
Why? Because they do traders.
Bri
If they do a traders thing, I'm like, I know.
Unknown
Well, how cool. I got so many text messages because at the end of the game, because it's NBC. They do. They promote three peacock shows and one being the traders and the poster. So a lot of the kids, my nieces and nephews, ran to my cousins. They're like, auntie Coco's on the tv. And so it's.
Bri
So guys, when people go, what are the cool things about being a twin? Yeah, this right here. I'm going to the Eagle game. I. I'm going to pretend I am Nikki and I'm going to get perks.
Unknown
Okay, just don't get into Brimo then. Because if you get into Brimo and then you're pretending like you're me, that can really screw things up for me better.
Bri
Oh, my God. I am like, listen, NFL, Nikki's going to the game.
Unknown
Just I'm going to make sure you don't have my Nicki Traders for you. Oh gosh. But no, please promote Traders. That would be amazing.
Bri
I mean if you think about it already in this episode I threw shade at someone making the Dallas Cowboys comment. I even threw a couple fun comments at Jeff. You. I honestly after watching Traders this past week, I think I would have been amazing to do a twin switch with you and been at the round table and really shook up.
Unknown
Well, so did X. Because everyone on X even put together a video edit of how you just like what do they say? How you ate people up or. I'm trying to think of the cool terms because people sound so cool when they say it and I'm like, damn, Bri does just tell people off. Like you just go out at it.
Bri
I don't go at it. I just, I throw, I think these one.
Unknown
You want me to play the video real quick? Actually, you know what I would love? No, I'm not, I'm obviously not going to play the video but I, I just have to because what it says. But so yes, if you watch this past Thursday, the on. You know, if you watch this past Thursday, the Traders on Peacock, which by the way we are the number one non scripted show right now, which is amazing being streamed.
Bri
I mean everyone's obsessed with Traders.
Unknown
It's such an incredible show. But I people. Well, mainly on this one, Wes is the main one who comes at me at the round table and so Wes and I get into it pretty bad. But I was blindsided. And then just watching, I didn't realize behind my back everyone's thinking that I'm a traitor and Wes is really making people believe this. So when he comes at me, I was definitely blindsided.
Bri
Is it weird to watch and like see what people said behind your back?
Unknown
Yeah, for sure. But you know, my mindset, like other people have definitely been taking it, you know, personal. I don't take it personal because I have a mindset of like. And I don't know if this is my athletic background but like, okay, it's a game. But it's still like some of the comments of why I would be a Trader. Like you're just kind of like ouch. All right. But like they have to come up with something. So I get it. I'm just not that person. But maybe that's makes me like suck at playing games like that. That's maybe why I'm not great.
Bri
I'd be like, who'd you ever be?
Unknown
All right, see, can you by the way everyone. Brie was supposed to do Traders 2 Season 2, she said no, but I think you need to go do traders 4 because see that comment right there? You would just go at it with people.
Bri
Put a lot of pressure on me because I might go in there and be Mother Teresa for what everyone knows. But usually when I'm in those situations, it's very hard for me. Like, okay, bite my tongue.
Unknown
So. And I love this girl's ex name. It's called CEO of good taste. But she wrote, omg, Brie would have made him cry about Wes. And then they made this whole video edit. And then someone else goes, wes ass is so lucky it's Nikki and not Brie. Like, Brie would verbally destroy him. Agree. And then Bree season four is a need. Please. And as a traitor, Brie would be clocking people. That's the word I was thinking clock in Bree's vicious with the comebacks, she would have made quick work of him. That was another thing I was like, oh, that's cool to say. Well, you know, a lot of the same. A lot of the clocked worked destroyed. I mean, I can't believe how many people were like, he got the wrong sister. Lol.
Bri
Hey, for the reunion, why don't I take your spot and then I can give a lot of people.
Unknown
Right. They don't call her remote for no reason. Sis is always going off for real.
Bri
Thank you guys.
Unknown
Now you know my life. I think actually on rig for this show because I would like. Because some of the you said in the edit, I was like, oh, I don't know if I want to retweet this. I was like, we should put it up and like take a poll. But I do think if there's an opportunity you should go do traders for and be exactly who you are in that edited video, which is just how you threw like four or five shade comments this whole episode. Brie would have ate him up. She would have. So as you guys saw, I. I felt like I ate him up in a very graceful, nice way. People were proud of me. I stood up for myself. But I just, I always take the high road and that's good.
Bri
And I just call out stupid.
Unknown
And I'm not gonna lie, like, I was caught so off guard. And I will say my blood got so boiled. Like, I haven't felt like that since, I don't know, like college being like yelling with people at a bar. But did I even do that? Like, I. I haven't felt that since like high school or college. Like, that feeling of, like, am I about to get in a fight? Type of feels. But also, you guys have to realize when we do those round tables, it's like, already 11pm and we had been filming since 8am which means emotions are high, which they like to do. Right? But I'm not like that. I'm so tired. But I felt like I. I still handled him very, very well.
Bri
You did.
Unknown
Oh, and then one thing I. I do want to say, and I want to ask Rob this at the reunion, or, you know, I want to bring him on the show, but, like, people were saying he did that to save me, which I was like, oh, really? About going at it with Bob, because, you know, like, a trader went after a trader, which is like, never happens. It's like what you're actually not supposed to do.
Bri
Wow.
Unknown
So.
Bri
Well, Rob, if you did that, we love you.
Unknown
Yeah. Thank you, Rob. Thank you.
Bri

This time of year, I feel so bad because we travel a lot. I just dread it because I know people are going to be flying with colds, possibly the flu. You never know.

Bri
For whatever happens next. Grab Kleenex. Okay, so everyone, you know, Nikki and I, we've done this before where we'll ask each other five questions. And it was funny because we're like, what do you want to talk about in today's episode? And we came up with a bunch of ideas. We're like, should we do some self help topics? Because, you know, her and I, we love that kind of stuff.
Unknown
Oh, yeah.
Bri
And then we were, like, thinking of some fun games. And then her and I, like, you know, we haven't done five questions in a while, and it's always kind of fun to see each other's reaction. And we both have been traveling a lot, it feels like, so we thought, you know what? Let's get some deep sister chisel going on.
Unknown
Yeah.
Bri
All right, sis, five questions I'm gonna start.
Unknown
Okay.
Bri
First one. What fictional movie would you like to live in? Oh, and fictional means fake, just in case.
Unknown
Oh, my gosh. You're joking, right?
Bri
Well, I don't know.
Unknown
What do you mean? Well, you don't know. You really think at this point in my life I would not know what fictional was? Maybe you could ask me that in second grade.
Bri
Okay.
Unknown
The first thing that came to mind.
Bri
Yeah.
Unknown
Would be Carrie from Sex in the City.
Bri
Okay.
Unknown
Which I would also. Yeah.
Bri
Yeah.
Unknown
I mean, that's what I mean.
Bri
She went through a lot of, like. I mean, she went through a lot of good things, bad things, but again, I get it.
Unknown
Yeah. But she was, like, legit and relatable.
Bri
And gosh, I was thinking, like, Avatar.
Unknown
Oh, well, Samantha, like, oh, I like, if I could, like, kind of mush Samantha and Carrie. But Carrie had a lot of great sex, too. You would do Avatar?
Bri
Well, I just thought, like, if I could live in a fictional movie, it'd be kind of cool to live in Avatar. Yeah, well, be an Avatar.
Unknown
I mean. Yeah. I just thought you're trying to be a little more legit. But if you're gonna say Avatar. Well, then I'll say Wonder Woman.
Bri
There you go.
Unknown
Okay.
Bri
Why not?
Unknown
Sure.
Bri
This is your moment. You can say, I want a superpower.
Unknown
Yeah. Okay, I'll be Wonder Woman.
Bri
Jet. You got it.
Unknown
I mean, I'll be exhausted, but sure. Could have just been carrying sex in the city, having martinis, living in New York City. City, having a sick ass shoe collection. But sure, I'll go be Wonder Woman.
Bri
For some reason, save the world. Feels like that could be real life for you. But anyways, what question do you have for me?
Unknown
Well, I'm gonna save Mateo's for the end. Mato, he has a question for you. So I'll.
Bri
I have a feeling I know what it is, but.
Unknown
Okay, I'll save that one for the end. One of my questions is, what are your real thoughts of getting older?
Bri
Wow. Well, so I guess for me, two things. One, I do think there's a beauty to getting older in this sense of you've lived this life, so you've gone through these ups and downs, so you definitely gain more wisdom. Right. You get more confidence, you feel comfortable. I feel comfortable doing things that you would ask me to do it 15 years ago, I would have been nervous or not sure. I'm sure about a lot of things now. The one part about getting older is when you look in the mirror, and I know we all like H, but. And I get butt, but it is hard sometimes. I'm like, ah. I just. My eyes are so puffy and like, another wrinkle or, like, a little saggy here. I try to be very positive and say nice things to myself because it's what you're supposed to. And at the same time, that's just part of getting older. So it's this weird tug of war, I guess.
Unknown
Yeah. You know, And I mean, how about even I was thinking even more so of, like, just getting closer to, you know, death. The end.
Bri
Yeah, it's all up. At times, I try not to think that part.
Unknown
Yeah.
Bri
But I also have to say, I love, absolutely love being the age I am now. I have more com. Like, honestly, anyone who, if you make crazy more money than me, you have a bigger title, whatever, you can come say something to me, and I have enough confidence to tell you off.
Unknown
Yeah.
Bri
I'm like, there. I wouldn't have five years ago. It's weird. It's like, you get older, you get this confidence that I'm like, I love.
Unknown
What do you think gives you the most confidence?
Bri
Like, gives me zero Fs.
Unknown
Well, just. What. What's the one thing where you're like.
Bri
I'm satisfied where I'm at my life.
Unknown
There you go.
Bri
I could lose it all, but I have an amazing husband. I love my children more than anything in this world. I have my chickens and my pups. Like, I like simple. So you throw me into simple life, which is what I try to live now. And I feel like I. I do. I. I love it. So there's so many things you can take from me. And I guess when, like, you're at that place in life where you're like, yeah, take it. I don't care. Like, it's almost like you don't want to mess with a who doesn't care. Like, you know what I mean? That's my weapon. That's my secret weapon.
Unknown
Oh.
Bri
Okay, Nicole, next your question number two. What makes you anxious?
Unknown
Oh, boy. You're asking me that now? When my lawyer's calling, that probably makes me the most anxious. I'm like, what now? But for real, that actually prims me the most. I mean, he literally called me right before I was going into Monday Night Raw. And I remember I had a second of, do I answer this or not? Because I'm so stoked to walk in, but is this gonna ruin my night? And I'm like, but he's calling for a reason, so I gotta answer. But I would say definitely, like, lawyer calls and just, you know, anything that deals with divorce and all that kind of stuff makes me, for sure, you know, now the most anxious. Beyond that, you know, is definitely, I think, just being a mom and making sure, like, I'm doing things right. And, you know, I've definitely am a worrier. So I just can get anxious about things like when Mateo's at school or, you know. Yeah, all that kind of stuff. It's. It's all majority. Mateo is the foundation of angst.
Bri
My kids have been so sick the last five days. Influenza A. I mean, that's wild. And it's weird how, like, it can just. I don't Google. Like. Right, you gotta stay off Google. But then you want to Google to find, like, the best treatments. But, like, yeah, I could really just mess you up. Yeah, it's hard.
Unknown
Big time. Okay, your next question. What is your greatest memory of us? That makes you laugh.
Bri
Well, dang. A lot.
Unknown
I know, right?
Bri
Greatest. I mean, there's so many things.
Unknown
What first comes to mind?
Bri
Well, I always think of the one with the monkeys. We're at the zoo Miami. Like that. Just like, it's funny because it was like, our life was on the line and, like, sprinting for, like, here. We got this great VIP experience and we're hanging out with monkeys, and then we're getting threatened by, like, a killer monkey. And sprinting.
Unknown
Legit killer monkey with, like, they didn't realize. Saw his fingernails.
Bri
Edward Scissorhands.
Unknown
He looked like Edward Scissorhands. We legit ran in front of little kids.
Bri
I feel like we've told people this.
Unknown
Story before, but Totally. But it's probably been years and years.
Bri
Like that one. I could literally be in bed in, like. Can't breathe.
Unknown
Laugh.
Bri
And I'm trying to tell Brian. He's like, not the monkey story again. And I go, he's like, didn't that happen to you, like, when you were 20? I'm like, yeah. Brian and I, that's.
Unknown
I mean, me holding on to electric fence.
Bri
Yeah. Everything. And I. You sprinted so much faster than all of us.
Unknown
Oh, you guys. And Doc Martens and all. Like, I just did not. That's so messed up. I put myself in a do or die situation and I. It was like as if I was in the Olympics track meet. I left everyone. I was like, I'm so.
Bri
And then I left everyone else too. I was like, second.
Unknown
The monkey was so creepy looking, I just felt death upon it.
Bri
I literally go, so remember when you said, what kind of monkey is that? And the lady's just like, it was her.
Unknown
I mean, for a zookeeper to just scream run. When Bri asks what kind of monkey that is?
Bri
I was like, he is.
Unknown
I have never thrown off. What were those little monkeys called? The cute ones?
Bri
They're spider monkeys.
Unknown
Oh, spider. I have never checked, like, 5 off.
Bri
I think I ran with them on me.
Unknown
I was like, those poor little kids in there.
Bri
Oh, my. I dang. When I think of, like, because if.
Unknown
It was my son now, I would have, like, grabbed him and sprinted with him. But I.
Bri
And that shows you if they're not.
Unknown
Your children, which is messy. You know what I mean? But we were young, too.
Bri
We were.
Unknown
But dang. Survivor mode. H. Survival mode.
Bri
Yeah.
Unknown
My goodness.
Bri
Yeah.
Unknown
But I got. I mean, look at. For doing that. Then I got electrocuted. So I deserved it. It was like karma. I mean, at least you all knew what fence not to leave out of.
Bri
Like, I kept going the other way and the.
Unknown
Is when I grabbed it. Because electric fences, when you're getting electric, they kind of grab you in, like, you can't let go. So at first I thought he came from behind me, but then I was like, oh, no, I can't let go. That's so up. I thought I was done. It's like ran. Made it from a killer monkey to die. Being electrocuted by the fence and killing.
Bri
Selfish. Yeah, okay.
Unknown
Okay, That's a good one. Yeah. Number three.
Bri
What takes your breath away.
Unknown
Oh, wow. Kindness. It's so true. Oh, God. I know that's.
Bri
Can't help but what takes breath away for real, right?
Unknown
Yeah. So that. But, like, I think when, like, what would truly take my breath away, obviously, is from a man. Oh. Oh, no.
Bri
I mean, that's fine.
Unknown
What was just like a paycheck.
Bri
No, mine would be like nature, but. Oh, but that's okay.
Unknown
That's okay.
Bri
No, if it's a man for you, it can be kindness, which actually man.
Unknown
But I. I will go back to the man, but I will say when I see sunrises or sunsets or full moons or just nature stuff. Nature truly can take my breath away. Unlike anything. Like, you're so right about that. More than food, drinks. Like, nature is. Truly takes my breath away. Like 100. And then when it comes to a human being, I guess you know what, they can sweep me off my feet, which is different. So nature takes my breath away, but a man can sweep me off my feet.
Bri
Yeah, I like that.
Unknown
And I'll save that sweep me off my feet for another question.
Bri
All right. What do you got for me?
Unknown
Oh, yeah, I have a good one.
Bri
Okay.
Unknown
Okay. So number three, and this gets deep. How could I have been a better sibling to you when we were growing up?
Bri
Not put expectations on me like you put for yourself?
Unknown
I had expectations for you growing up.
Bri
Because you're a perfectionist. You wanted me to be a perfectionist.
Unknown
In what way?
Bri
Many ways.
Unknown
Like?
Bri
Like.
Unknown
And I'm not judging just because my voice changes.
Bri
You can judge all you want, but, I mean, I think, like, if things didn't go perfectly the way you wanted it to go, you'd be mad at me and you'd let me know your.
Unknown
Disappointments even when I was young.
Bri
Yeah.
Unknown
Oh, wow. So good for me.
Bri
Just kidding.
Unknown
I changed that boss at a young age. No, I'm just kidding. That's not okay. I could see that. Where sometimes I'd be that way. Like, I've. I know that, like, as career wise, I've realized I've been that way with you.
Bri
Yeah.
Unknown
I didn't realize, though. I was like that growing up.
Bri
Yeah. And the beauty about text messaging is like, delete, delete.
Unknown
Okay, but you're talking in career wise and Stuff like, we also young.
Bri
Okay.
Unknown
Well, we didn't get cell phones. We shared.
Bri
No, I said nowadays. Nowadays it's great that I see, you know.
Unknown
Yeah, I guess Soccer. I was that way, too.
Bri
Yeah. Wrestling.
Unknown
Well, wrestling, yeah.
Bri
But that was career.
Unknown
No, that.
Bri
I remember a lot of things. Yes. Okay.
Unknown
But I was talking about kids pre. Where we made money. Honey.
Bri
Yeah.
Unknown
Okay. That's it.
Bri
That's it.
Unknown
Okay.
Bri
Yeah.
Unknown
I mean, that's big. I mean, do you have issues?
Bri
I'm sure I brought it up in therapy.
Unknown
Oh, really?
Bri
Maybe. For sure. I'm sure I have.
Unknown
Well, it's not my fault that I'm a perfectionist.
Bri
No. And I think you work on that.
Unknown
I do need to work on that.
Bri
You do?
Unknown
Yeah. Yeah, I do.
Bri
So you're not sure?
Unknown
I try to let things. Yeah. I've definitely the pat. That's why my resolutions list has gone from, like, 30 to, like, two, because I realize I even do it to myself.
Bri
Too much pressure on yourself.
Unknown
Holding expectations and pressure. But think of how we were raised. Like, when I. I felt like a lot of the time when we did sports, and I'm not saying this from our parents or to even be from coaches, there was always an expectation that I had to get mvp. I had to get first. I had to make it to regionals. I had to do this. So I would put that.
Bri
I mean, those were on me too, but I just.
Unknown
You just didn't give a. I didn't give a. I guess I have a different personality. So.
Bri
So, I mean, I obviously kind of cared, but I was like.
Unknown
But when I felt that way, when people expected me to take the team to here or to win this award, like, I. I took that. I didn't want to let people down. It's the pleasing personality. I mean, Teo, like, I think already, and I'm like, this is something I'm gonna have to work on as mom, like, because we sleep together when he's with me, and if he moves around or gets up, I'm like, oh, are you too cold? Are you too hot? Do I need to do this? Are you hungry? Are you thirsty? And it's like 2am but it's because I'm a pleaser, and I want everything to just be perfect for everyone. You know, we. We both were.
Bri
Like, last night, I told Betty, I'm like, buddy, can you please stop coughing in my face? Can you just.
Unknown
Oh, my gosh, I can never do that. I would just let him cough away. I. I would catch influenza A if he wanted me to. Like, that's just my personality.
Bri
But this is the thing is, like, I remember the. And I don't know exactly the exact situation, but I remember when I was young, I did remember I disappointed someone and I was like, oh, that's not too bad. So then I didn't care if I disappointed people.
Unknown
Oh, my gosh, it's so crazy. I would have died. I wouldn't have died, but you know what I mean? Yeah, I would have taken it really hard. So instead, I just won all the awards and just no one. You're going to say, I want awards, too.
Bri
I'll bring.
Unknown
I do it to her all the time. And she eye rolled, so it's funny. It's a joke.
Bri
Nicole. After the London trip that Brian and I took the kids to, we said every year we need to come up with a really fun trip. Where, I don't know, like, a place we get to travel to. And it doesn't always have to be the mountains. London was a really neat experience. We're like, why don't we pick another country? Or we can pick somewhere here in the United States. The kids really haven't been to the east coast, but we were like, let's find one spot and get an Airbnb like we did in London, because it's nice. It's like, it feels like home away from home. And so he and I are starting to look. So you're gonna have to help us, because 2025, it's like one of those things. I feel like with kids, you have to plan a trip six months out, always has to be around school. But I feel like, you know, I always think of New York when I think of the East Coast. But I think there might be some really other neat places, like Vermont. But to find, like, a really fun Airbnb for family just might be the thing for 2025 for the Danielsons.
Unknown
I agree. I mean, it's definitely the way to travel. And what makes it even better is while you're living it up in someone else's home, you can actually host on Airbnb while you're away. So why don't you try putting your house on Airbnb, making some money while you're out there spending some money.
Bri
You know, I tell Brian this all the time. I feel like we'd kill it on Airbnb.
Unknown
Yeah, I agree. I mean, think about it. If you host while you're away, it's basically like you're making money while you're spending money.
Bri
And you know me, that's what I like.
Unknown
I agree. And if the holidays drain your finances, so let's be honest, because they always do. Hosting is a pretty cool and unique way to make some money back. Right?
Bri
We spent a lot in London, and I would love to see some of.
Unknown
That money back, honestly. So for everyone out there, don't leave money on the table when you travel this year.
Bri
Okay, so I think Vermont it is, with then maybe my house going up, and then it'll be even.
Unknown
I love it. Okay, so your home might be worth more than you think. Find out how much@airbnb.com host.
Bri
Maybe it's that one corner of the living room or the entire basement. But whatever it is, we all know that one spot in the house where WI FI coverage gets a bit spotty.
Unknown
Well, luckily, with Xfinity Internet, you can say goodbye to dead zones and hello to a consistent. Consistent and reliable connection from room to room.
Bri

Unknown
Learn more@xfinity.com. that's xfinity.com we have. Okay, number four. I'm just gonna throw in Teos now.
Bri
Okay, let's hear it.
Unknown
So I asked him. I go, if you can ask Auntie Breezy anything, what would it be? And he goes, does she like peacocks?
Bri
I thought he was gonna say something about hot air balloon. Yeah, I do like peacocks, but isn't that funny?
Unknown
That it is.
Bri
Oh, you know why?
Unknown
The chickens.
Bri
No. He's probably heard us talk about traders being on peacock.
Unknown
Oh, maybe. Maybe.
Bri
That's cute. Yeah, I love peacocks. I mean, I do find it a little effed up. The males are the ones with the beautiful feathers.
Unknown
Right?
Bri
But I love peacocks. Yeah, you're a gorgeous creature. That's so funny. You know, if I asked my kids, what do you guys want to ask Dodo? They'd be like, can we go to our house computer?
Unknown
House orange tv?
Bri
All right, my last question I have.
Unknown
For you, and then I have one more for you.
Bri
Yeah. If you could change one thing about society, what would it be?
Unknown
Wow. That's good. One. Because there'd be a few.
Bri
One.
Unknown
One. I would change something about social media to protect our kids more. So, I mean, kids are probably gonna hate me right now when I say this, but I would probably say that because of the effect of social media, you have to be 18 or older to be on it.
Bri
Yeah. And this is what I think. You and I could give two shits. Tick Tock was banned for, like, three hours.
Unknown
Yeah.
Bri
I didn't even know. And. But what it meant to other people is crazy to me. And I. I was kind of like, I think that's an issue, like, why Tick Tock was banned. I was cooking dinner, I was sitting with my family. I was bathing my kids. I was reading books, singing songs, and I put them to sleep. And then I watched an episode and I went to bed.
Unknown
From the era where we literally didn't have social media up until after college, I think it was right. I think, like, Facebook was Facebook college, maybe. Or after. I can't remember. But so we know what it's like, right, to be without and talk about. Because you and I both saw on Instagram where they took the kids. A group of kids.
Bri
Oh, yeah. I saw where they were. It was at a boarding school. Yeah. And they wanted to do a study of. I think they were seniors, so they weren't like freshmen. I think more older in the high school era. And what they would do. How would they would be in, whatever, 30 days without their phone. It was crazy to see some of the kids crying and, like, I don't know. It's like my whole life's taken away. Like, what am I gonna do? Like. And then some people were like, I just felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulder. Like, big smiles. Like, they actually felt free. But it was, like, really interesting.
Unknown
But what was crazy is they all were positive at the end of the day.
Bri
Oh, at the end of the 38.
Unknown
Even the ones that were so upset in beginning, they go, oh, my gosh, life is so much better. All of them.
Bri
All of them.
Unknown
Every single one. And I'm like, I get it. I was a few months off, and I was like, it was life changing.
Bri
You want to go back to, like, being. Yeah, well, you know, I was talking to one of Nikki and our friends, and she does six months a year of social media. She takes six months off. She'll go on six months.
Unknown
I thought she did the three.
Bri
Oh, maybe is it three. But in. Within a year. Yeah, it's only six months. She's really on. And I know some people are like, well, what's even the point? Well, the point is you get a.
Unknown
Catch up and see things.
Bri
Because I ran into her at the nursery and she's like, oh my gosh. And she's like, I'm off social media right now, so I feel like I don't even know what you're up to. Whatever. So we actually had this really long, great conversation. We're like, now we need. We need to go get dinner because we don't know what each other are doing. And that would be fun. It was like actually fun to catch up.
Unknown
Yeah.
Bri
Where I'll see some people. Like, you already know what's happening.
Unknown
Yeah.
Bri
Or what you think is happening in their lives. Right. But yeah, I, you know, that'd be one thing I'd probably change about society too.
Unknown
Yeah.
Bri
You know, I know everyone's like, well, w. But, you know, it's what I do.
Unknown
I love it.
Bri
What's your last question?
Unknown
So my last question would be, and I know we've kind of talked about this, but you have to go and like, detail exact place and like what you would do. Where. What's the one place in the world that you would live in? You would live out for a few months. So let's just say you have to go there this summer.
Bri
This summer.
Unknown
Exact spot.
Bri
I'm already trying to think about where in Europe I could go just for. To do. Be an apprentice in some vineyards. But for sure, I mean, I think with the family, I get a little bit of the mountains and a lake and the Italian way of life. I would say Lake Como.
Unknown
Yeah.
Bri
I'd go to Lake Como because it's an easy drive to a cool city like Milan. But then I can go out to the vineyards. I mean, there's just so much that's not far.
Unknown
Right.
Bri
And we know people, and we do know people. So yes. Like, that would be at Lake Como and you know, summertime with our family. Yeah. Busy. It'd be nice to have a house up on a farm. So we get like that, like, I will say the retreat. Nicole, how much fun do you and I walking? And that one place we went to dinner, like that hidden place in that village.
Unknown
I mean, it was amazing.
Bri
Didn't you feel like so good every morning when you and I went walking and seeing the cows and the horses and like just the old road and the way the old fences, everything about that just felt like we were in a movie.
Unknown
Right.
Bri
Like, I love the feeling.
Unknown
Yeah.
Bri
I need more of those feelings in my life.
