[Nikki]

I know.

[Brie]

Honestly, couple rooms in the house.

[Nikki]

Yeah, this is his house. I just live here for sure.

[Brie]

You know what's really funny is I have a Pinterest board of all the things I want to do when the kids are older and they don't just like, I hate saying ruin everything but spill on chairs and put their dirty hands everywhere. Like, I have this whole Pinterest board of like when they're old enough and don't ruin my. This is what I'd love to do.

[Nikki]

I'm thinking around maybe when Mateo's like, around 10 is when I want to get a designer in here, interior designer, and then like, redo everything.

[Brie]

I mean, I feel like I'm a pro at Pinterest and I feel like.

[Nikki]

It caused too many arguments. So it would.

[Brie]

And you would, like, it would look bomb and you would, like, not like it.

[Nikki]

I would just rather have like a designer.

[Brie]

Okay, fine. Maybe we can get like the twin deal. She can do it too.

[Nikki]

For they just, you know, they just bring things in and then you're like, yes or no? And they know like, yeah, dimensions. But anyways.

[Brie]

Well, you know what I really want to make, but I don't know if I can. But I feel like I can like a little breakfast nook. And I have this idea what I would do. Just taking this certain thing out, going in. Do you know where in my corner. And obviously right there, I have storage right now. If I took that part out next to kind of my coffee bar. Yeah, I could make that.

[Nikki]

You could.

[Brie]

The dream. You know that one, like, actually, I snap here. Can I just show you a photo? I snap last night.

[Nikki]

Show me, girl.

[Brie]

Why Brian was doing his laundry. We're like chit chatting. Okay. Look at like, you know what I mean?

[Nikki]

Yeah, like, you know. Yeah.

[Brie]

You know, like, I want that breakfast nook with like a booth, a couple chairs. Perfect pillows and lighting.

[Nikki]

Love it.

[Brie]

Yeah. I want fresh flowers, fluffy pillows, the whole thing.

[Nikki]

That's amazing. Yep. I know. I need. I'll have some fun ideas in here for sure. To do. I'd be very curious to see what a designer would come up with, like, what their ideas would be in here. I know that's not going to be for a super long time, so. What a great weekend.

[Brie]

We had so much fun.

[Nikki]

So much fun.

[Brie]

I honestly, it was one of those weekends where I wasn't expecting the fun because I kind of like. We went to Los Angeles and then came home and we're like, oh, you have to do the pga. It almost felt like, I have a lot to do this weekend. Let's get through it. But everything we did was just so fun. I'm like, what a fabulous weekend.

[Nikki]

It was so cool. The Emmy's parties were fun always. We went to the NBCU party, then to the WME party because Brie and I, we're with wme. And it was just so amazing to see the traders our season win so many Emmys. I mean, they swept they did.

[Brie]

They killed it.

[Nikki]

They crushed it. So that was really fun to be a part of it and catch up from people.

[Brie]

You know, we saw so many people, like, kind of like a bunch of blasts from the past. Right? Yeah, but.

[Nikki]

And I see you always. All their talent always shows up to those events, which is really cool.

[Brie]

What is it about a free bar that gets me like, crazy? Of course. I, like, took it to the bri mode level.

[Nikki]

She didn't get in breed mode. I did not. She did not all, but it's like.

[Brie]

I'm around all these professional people, open bar, and I treated it as a wedding reception.

[Nikki]

She really did.

[Brie]

You would have thought I was at someone's wedding.

[Nikki]

Honestly, I felt like I was. I was having the time of my life. You were.

[Brie]

I woke up the next morning, I'm like, do I regret anything last night? Like, anything I said?

[Nikki]

And I'm like, no, no, you weren't like that.

[Brie]

I know. I feel like I was like, didn't say anything crazy. And when I say crazy, I mean, like, stuff you'd be embarrassed. Embarrassed about the next day.

[Nikki]

Right.

[Brie]

But I. I didn't say anything. Like, nothing, you know?

[Nikki]

No, I know. You were. You were great.

[Brie]

I never did a in brie mode. Might delete later.

[Nikki]

You love this. No, it was all, like, great times. It was so fun. I. It was fun being back over in that environment. No. So I was like, love being back into our TV land.

[Brie]

Yeah. And what I loved is. So NBCU did this really incredible. It was a pre Emmy party for. And they were acknowledging the Saturday night live, like, 50th anniversary honoring them. And also the ones that were. And anyone who was with NBCU that was nominated for an Emmy. So it's really fun when you're there. They kind of like, shine light on whatever, you know, actor, actress, whatever shows are nominated. So it's a lot.

[Nikki]

Everyone's like.

[Brie]

It's weird. It's almost like Phil's business convention, but at a different level.

[Nikki]

No, it's. It's more like the re. It's like a reward.

[Brie]

Yeah, it's fun.

[Nikki]

End of the year, like, gives holiday vibes how. There you go. Party.

[Brie]

End of the year party.

[Nikki]

Yeah, like, achievement. Like, just honoring everyone. Let them have a fun night of feeling spoiled. It's from production to crew, directors, writers, everyone you could think of who's a part of one, what gets nominated. And so everyone. Production companies, they're all there. So it's so cool.

[Brie]

I mean, so cool. So that was like. It was really fun. And there was so many great people out that I was like, oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. That person. That person.

[Nikki]

Yeah.

[Brie]

Like, it was. I love people watching, like, oh, yeah. The greatest place to people watch. And then the William Morris Endeavor. I say it, right?

[Nikki]

Yeah, I hope so. You're part of the agency.

[Brie]

You know, it doesn't mean I, you know, say anything right. But that was so much fun.

[Nikki]

So much fun.

[Brie]

It was a great way to end the night.

[Nikki]

It was perfect. It really. It was just beautiful level. Sunset Tower truly is, I think, one of my favorite spots in Los Angeles, West Hollywood. I just. That it's so iconic. It's gorgeous. The environment, the vibes, the history. I just love Sunset Tower. And then Waldorf Astoria. That. Rooftops. Oh, my gosh, it was freezing, but it was. It's gorgeous up there. The fact that you could, like, see during the day, the ocean from there is so cool.

[Brie]

Oh, my gosh. Great. And it was funny because when Nicole and I came back home on Saturday, literally, this was us. We got in our Uber, and we both reclined our seats, and we were like. Like, we were out.

[Nikki]

We were out.

[Brie]

We slept the whole way home.

[Nikki]

Yeah.

[Brie]

I was like, the guy must have kept looking.

[Nikki]

He was like, wow, you guys were tired. I'm like, yeah, you have no idea. Because we want to take the first flight back home to get back to the kids. And then, so we had a fun Saturday with the kids, and then it was fun because we went to then the PGA Tour. So the last stop on the PGA Tour before the Writer cup was here, Napa. So the best. Some of the best golfers were coming through in the world this past weekend. And it's funny because I've really just enjoyed golf the past few years, too, and, like, to watch. Getting to know more of the golfers better has been awesome. It's just a really cool sport.

[Brie]

Yeah. And I feel like, too, once you start to know the game, you start to see the competitiveness, and, like, we're at any minute, it can go the other way. And so there's excitement because, you know, some people might watch me, like, boring. But no, there's a lot of excitement once you know the players and the actual game. Like, it's. It's fun.

[Nikki]

It's. I mean, that. That was, like, such a fun finish to the Pro Core Championship. That. That Griffin guy, all he had to do was just get it in on that one and. And I don't know all the terms yet. Perfectly. But that the fact that he could have Tied it up and then seen him miss. And we were right there. So we were at the 18th hole in the hospitality tent. It was really cool because pro core MPJ hosted Brie and I. And that ending, I was like, what? This feels like a Super bowl finish. Like, I was so nervous, I couldn't even watch the guy putt. I was like, I am dying right now. Like, this is like, he literally can tie this up and potentially then win. And I just, I could tell his nerves. And in my head I'm like, I think he's gonna miss. And sure enough. And Scheffler's just unreal, unreal. But it was so cool because then also in the hospitality tent, they had TVs on. So we were watching the Eagles game, watching golf. We'd walk around. I'm like, another open bar Sunday.

[Brie]

I was like, yeah, another open market.

[Nikki]

And then their little after party event. Oh, and it's like before sunset. And then just that aperol spritz was amazing.

[Brie]

It was a time we.

[Nikki]

It was funny because so cheersing with the bringing Scheffler. Scheffler, yeah, yeah, Scheffler in to do champagne toast. I mean, it was all so fun.

So she'd be talking and I'd see the woman about to raise her hands to quiet everyone. And I'd look at Nicole and I go.

[Nikki]

She would do it so loud. And then everyone look, look. And I'm like.

[Brie]

And everyone. And a lot of people would get quiet too. Oh, yeah, I'm a really good. I feel there's like a lot of gentleness to my shushing. But the best is the lady goes, I like you.

[Nikki]

Yeah, she was. You must come from a family of shushers.

[Brie]

Yeah. She was like, I could use you. And I'm like, you know what? Give me that quiet side. I'll be down there shushing everyone.

[Nikki]

She was shushing all day.

[Brie]

I shush you all hours, for hours. I know. I kind of thought to myself, like, some people must think I'm annoying, but whatever. I was making myself laugh.

[Nikki]

It was so fun, though.

[Brie]

It was so fun. And then I go to Scottish shuffle. And I was like, hey, you're really good. And Happy Gilmore too. And he's like, thanks, and kept walking. I was like, gosh, I look like.

[Nikki]

That, you know, just super fan. Yeah, that was you just having the greatest time.

[Brie]

It end up in A conversation.

[Nikki]

And we got to see our friend Justin Thomas. Yeah. From afar. We rep. So Brie and I invested in his sunscreen. Wear spf. So we were up to that real hard.

[Brie]

Yeah, we did.

[Nikki]

You guys ever need to buy sunscreen? Make sure to buy wear spf. It was fun. It was all great. It was such, such a great tournament. Just such a great day of golf, a great day of football. We beat the Chiefs. There's nothing like when you win the super bowl and you have to replay that team and you beat. Beat him.

[Brie]

That was great there.

[Nikki]

It just puts a stamp on it, right, like. And like, boom.

[Brie]

The Eagles did good, but the Eagles didn't do great. They didn't play to their fullest. Like to me, their potential. So it was a little nerve wracking.

[Nikki]

Yeah.

[Brie]

I mean, it really could have gone either way.

[Nikki]

Hard took us all the way.

[Brie]

It did the heart and then had it.

[Nikki]

Because sometimes you just have bad games, like you have bad matches, like you have bad dance performances, whatever it might be. Just sometimes the body don't want to show up, you know, and.

[Brie]

But.

[Nikki]

But heart can take you very far.

[Brie]

And at the end of the day, a win is a win.

[Nikki]

And so when is a win?

[Brie]

At this regular season, we are two big wins. Like two solid two big wins and ones that left us very stressed out till the end.

[Nikki]

Yeah, but.

[Brie]

But you know, I have to say it's really fun that NFL is back in season. I feel like for so many people here in America, it's like. Feels like Christmas time.

[Nikki]

It's like it does. I love you know what I mean?

[Brie]

It's just. It's great that you have something to look forward to. Whether it's like Thursday Night Football or Sunday or Monday night. Like we. It just at least for us on our side of the family, it brings everyone together. Barbecuing family, sits down and gets to cheer on a team. It's just a fun time.

[Nikki]

I know. Well, I'm gonna have to probably start to catch because I've been lucky that we had Thursday and then Sunday. But soon I'm gonna probably have to be watching it in air. Some of these day games headed east, actually. Wait, no, we're Texas, actually. I think we're starting to slowly shift and make our way. WWE is to the west coast.

[Brie]

Oh, that'll be good.

[Nikki]

Evansville, Indiana's this Monday and I think the following is like North Carolina, then Texas, and then we make our way back.

[Brie]

Oh, good.

[Nikki]

I think that's what it is.

[Brie]

But the easier flights, which Is always. Oh, you know, feels the greatest.

[Nikki]

The travel is hard.

[Brie]

Oh, it is. I mean, Brian's travel the last couple weeks, I feel so bad for him.

[Nikki]

Yeah.

[Brie]

And he just, he. This week at home, it was hard on him. Because it's hard then for your body to catch up.

[Nikki]

That's been my part.

[Brie]

Yeah.

[Nikki]

It's, you know, when I. I land and I go straight and pick up Tango, straight in the mom mode till I have to take my next flight back out. And it's. Yeah, it's a hard catch up.

[Brie]

Yeah.

[Nikki]

Well.

[Brie]

And our last couple nights, you know, it's. The kids haven't woken us up.

[Nikki]

The dogs have that, which is so crazy to me.

[Brie]

And I'm like, I don't know why. Because I was telling Brian when he was in Australia, in Philly, I'm like, they were sleeping on the ground through the night. Amazing.

[Nikki]

Wow.

[Brie]

And now they keep jumping up. Winston, literally, not only did he jump up to cuddle me and then like after a while trying to kind of push him down. Then he just jumps on my stomach, like 4am or something. And I was like, oh. And then like I'm awake and then I'm trying to get back to sleep and trying not to count the hours till probably buddy's going to be away. I just was like, why? When? Right. Like, you know, I'm right here. Why jump? And then he literally jumped on me to get to Brian. So it wasn't even like he wanted to be with me.

[Nikki]

Yeah.

[Brie]

I give him treats. I give him cuddles. I feel like a big snuggle with you, Brie.

[Nikki]

Well, yeah, I mean, I just haven't slept all the past few nights because the world just. Just felt so heavy and dark and it's just like I've. Well, I was telling you this morning how I like ended up sleeping with my rosary. I had like. I was sleeping with my rosary and like touching my tail because I want to make sure you got like the energy of the rosary. And I was just like praying so hard to Jesus and God and just, you know, and I have like right here, I'm looking at my mother Mary and baby Jesus, but praying a lot, Just asking for a lot of light and. But it's. It's crazy because literally it's kept me up at night just like praying for people, praying for the world.

[Brie]

You always have to remember the heat, the anger is louder than the actual.

[Nikki]

Right. But it's there. Just feels. It just feels heavy.

[Brie]

Yeah. Everything's a little off road.

[Nikki]

Yeah. So it's just been. That's. That's been my only reason of my lack of sleep, and it's been that. But it was crazy how comfort it was, though, the minute I got my rosary, like, you know, I put my photo Nana by the bed. You know, you saw it. Because I travel with that one. And I've traveled with that one even since before she passed. And then the red fox that's pop up. And then my, like, little Ganesha. And my rosary. The one that just.

[Brie]

Right there.

[Nikki]

Yeah, with Nana from the church. Which one?

[Brie]

I mean, I'm the same. I got all my. Yeah, all my peeps right there.

[Nikki]

I was about to put that one on. I was like, I don't know why, but I just feel like I think I need to sage my house.

[Brie]

Yeah. What movie was it? I mean, this was like.

[Nikki]

No, I started to think about that in the middle of the night. Don't. I don't even want to talk about it.

[Brie]

I know, but people were like Emily Rose. I mean, but let's be honest. Like, fake, like, you know, I don't.

[Nikki]

Even want to talk about it. Yeah, no one wants to talk about that one anymore.

[Brie]

But it made me laugh how many stories there were of, like, people, like.

[Nikki]

Taping Bibles to their chest and stuff, you know? Well, geez. Yeah, I get it.

[Brie]

Oh, my God.

[Nikki]

I think I did the same for, like, a week or two after a bunch of. I was playing college ball at that time, so all the girls wanted to go watch it.

[Brie]

I never saw.

[Nikki]

I sat in the theater like, what am I watching? Like, I'm gonna have nightmares for so long. And I did the same. I had like.

[Brie]

I just don't like.

[Nikki]

What do you mean? I was like, early 2000s. Of course went to theaters.

[Brie]

No, I mean, I didn't like. Because you hate horror movies. You and I both.

[Nikki]

Well, the whole soccer team was going, so I was like, screw it. And then I regretted it immediately. And I was like, do I want to go get some more popcorn?

[Brie]

Yeah.

[Nikki]

Bye. I should have did that. Hey, I need to go get Red Vines. That's, like, my favorite. When I go to theater, I have to Red Vines and popcorn. But I haven't been to the theater in a really long time.

[Brie]

Well, I did for the K Pop, and I did popcorn, no butter, which was a little sad. I. Oh, girl. If you want to do it, but I can't. Oh, like, put my stomach, like.

[Nikki]

That's right.

[Brie]

So bad bird.

[Nikki]

Brie, hummingbird. Right there.

[Brie]

Oh, my gosh.

[Nikki]

Yeah, look right there.

[Brie]

Now look at us.

[Nikki]

Oh.

[Brie]

And then. So what's hard on me is, like, the kids, because I don't give them that type of candy.

[Nikki]

Yeah.

[Brie]

So for them, they're like, what is all this? And they wanted, like, Sour Patch Kids and all the things that I'm like, okay, guys, you're not gonna like Sour Patch Kids. I. Trust me. Let's maybe M M's and like Red Vines. I always feel like when I'm thinking of their taste buds.

[Nikki]

Yeah.

[Brie]

And so. But of course, then it's like, no, let's do the peanut M M's. And I'm like, well, okay. And then no one liked the peanut M M's. The Red Vines Birdie actually loved Buddy. Did not.

[Nikki]

But it's so weird.

[Brie]

I feel like I have to start bringing, like, our style treats to the movie theater. Oh, for sure they don't like any of those.

[Nikki]

No. You know, it's always a big score for Taylor. Just like when it's a fun treat, I get those gluten free chocolate covered pretzels. You know, that brand gluten thing? And that's like a treat. He loves those.

[Brie]

Yeah. What are those M M's like, I get at Whole Foods?

[Nikki]

Oh.

[Brie]

But he was just asking about them the other day. They're called reels or something like that.

[Nikki]

Something like that.

[Brie]

When we're at the movie theater, they asked them if, but they were there. And they're like, what? And I'm like, nikki, life can get really busy.

[Nikki]

Really busy. I mean, I would say it's been busy for all of us.

[Brie]

I know.

[Nicole]

And sometimes we just need to take a breather, sit down and ask ourselves one very important question.

[Nikki]

What's that, Bri?

[Nicole]

Have you had your Hershey's?

[Nikki]

I sure have had my Hershey's Brie. And you know what? When you need to brighten up your day or even put a smile on your face, grab the classic creamy texture and pure milk chocolate flavor of Hershey's milk chocolate.

[Nicole]

Whether you're eating it on the go, breaking off a few pieces for s' mores night, or treating yourself to something sweet, Hershey's milk chocolate checks all the boxes.

[Nikki]

It sure does. You want to know what one of my favorite moments with Hershey's chocolate is, Teo? And I like, I love it. Because you know me, I'm chocolate lover. But now I have a son who's a chocolate lover. So we split bars all the time. It's just such a moment for us, a very happy moment. We look at each other, he always ends up getting chocolate all over his face. But it's just such a sweet moment that I find myself always reaching for a Hershey bar. Always.

[Nicole]

I mean, we love making s' mores in my family.

[Brie]

So every time I bust out a.

[Nicole]

Hershey bar, my kids start screaming with.

[Brie]

Excitement because they know it's about to.

[Nicole]

Be s' more time. So for all of you, shop for Hershey's milk chocolate now at a store.

[Nikki]

Near you found wherever candy is sold.

[e-mail] that's W a Y-F-A-I R.com Wayfair Every style, every home. I don't know why, like, the foodie inside of me is, like, just so excited for fall food. But I'm like, Nicole, you gotta just pace yourself. Like, yeah, you're in really good shape right now. Like, just pace yourself. Because I'm such a foodie and, like, I have to really watch what I eat. And right now, you know, I'm training so hard and I'm like, just like right now I'm drinking my, like, creatine. And I have to tell myself, because I'm pmsing really bad yesterday and today, I have to keep telling myself not to grab a bunch of sweets because as of late the past few months, my PMS has really been, like, massive sweet tooth.

[Brie]

Wow.

[Nikki]

Like, massive. Like, I feel like I could eat sweets all day today.

[Brie]

Wow. Yeah, not me.

[Nikki]

Really?

[Brie]

Mine's like, almost, like, sweetened. Not even sweet. Like, almost like salty. Oh, well, like chips.

[Nikki]

Have you had the chili lime seaweed?

[Brie]

That's my favorite. Oh, it's the best.

[Nikki]

I've had three boxes, too.

[Brie]

I saw you smashing it earlier.

[Nikki]

Yeah.

[Brie]

Dang. Another. Which is fine. It's healthy.

[Nikki]

It's amazing.

[Brie]

But I've never seen you eat so many.

[Nikki]

See, you know, they said those things are so amazing for your brain.

[Brie]

I mean, us, the kids and I, so happy.

[Nikki]

Yeah. Mateo loves.

[Brie]

They're so good.

[Nikki]

But I. Well, girl, I just lifted really heavy today.

[Brie]

I know why I came straight here.

[Nikki]

So in my head, I'm like, shoot, what do I. I grabbed a jerky stick and then those three chili lime seaweeds. I think that's pretty good for after you train hard.

[Brie]

Oh, yeah.

[Nikki]

I'm just trying to give my body stuff to, like, gain muscle fat. But all I want is a massive sweet.

[Brie]

Yeah, but shouldn't you have some protein?

[Nikki]

Yeah, well, I'm gonna need. Well, I. I had a jerky stick, but I need more red meat. For sure.

[Brie]

I know. I'm bummed I missed today, but I'll be there tomorrow. Yeah.

[Nikki]

I mean, the past two days when I was. He was stretching me at the end for today. Because yesterday and today my hips, it was just like, oh, boy. It was crazy. But tomorrow, it'll be curious how it feels. But I like when I push through soreness and still, like, I like how he still makes his left heavy. And I did this pull ups and went like, he pushed me on that.

[Brie]

Good.

[Nikki]

Yeah. I was like, man. Well, it's funny because one of my rdls.

[Brie]

Oh, rdls.

[Nikki]

I went heavy today.

[Brie]

Oh, gosh.

[Nikki]

I went really happy.

[Brie]

They do such great sculpting of your butt and your thighs, but, man, I don't like them.

[Nikki]

And yesterday I did front squat.

[Brie]

I always have to remind myself when I'm doing them like Brie. The outcome is so great.

[Nikki]

So when I tell myself in my head, when I'm like pushing through and workout, I just close my eyes for a second. I either like, as of late, when he's thrown a lot of cardio and agility stuff in and it's like, burning. I imagine myself in a match and I say, this is six minutes in a match. You keep going. You got this. You want to entertain when you're out of breath. Keep going. That's helped me. And then I always think of booty, booty, booty. The results come on. You want that butt. You want to look good. Jeans, bikini. That's how we do it.

[Brie]

Yeah.

[Nikki]

We gotta work it.

[Brie]

I 100 agree.

[Nikki]

That big. Don't give you a booty.

[Brie]

Hard work.

[Nikki]

Give you a booty.

[Brie]

That's true.

[Nikki]

And also hard work feels so damn good.

[Brie]

Yeah. I mean mental, mental workout too. Mentally. It does.

[Nikki]

There's something about sweating and you have that good music on and.

[Brie]

Oh.

[Nikki]

And then I just love when you start to see results. Like, you and I both were talking, we can see in our shoulders and our arms more. And what's great is like Kyle's like, you're like, it's crazy to see you get stronger. Even in my core. Like, stuff that was so hard for me to do in the beginning with him and now how I'm just like ve up in a crunch.

[Brie]

Well, you can brag to everyone how good I did at pull ups. Pull ups the other day. I was even shocked. But also he, he was saying how my form is doing so much better lifting where he can tell I'm not trying to think of every, like moving part of it.

[Nikki]

Now that gets hard in the beginning of lifting. That was me. And think about squat yesterday.

[Brie]

Your heels to your knees to like where the whole thing. Yeah. Can.

[Nikki]

Shoulders back has always been an issue for me. Even when I did Dancing with the Stars, shoulders back is all always been an issue. And I always sometimes have to take a second to reset. So in an rdl, in deadlift, whatever it may be, like, sometimes I just have to say, let's just take a second. Shoulders back. But what is it like rolling the shoulders back? It's like, it's just one thing that I always have to think about. It doesn't always happen naturally to me. Like, and it's fine. Like, that's everyone. Right. Especially when you lift heavy and like.

[Brie]

Well, the great part is you reset.

[Nikki]

So many people would return to.

[Brie]

So, yeah. To do it with bad form.

[Nikki]

Never race. Lifting weights is never a race.

[Brie]

Yeah. I got to take it slow or I get dizzy to start to see spots.

[Nikki]

I. Well. And I don't want to blow up my back. I don't want to hurt my neck. I love taking my time and resetting and doing things like that because I'm there to work out my muscles. I don't want to waste time and hurt. I'm there to build for sure. Yeah. And I just love It.

[Brie]

I love it, too. And just think, it's not like I'm going back to the ring or anything. So for me, just joining you and doing it, I feel so good.

[Nikki]

Yeah. Okay. So. Well, maybe one day you'll join me. I'm not going to start that again.

[Brie]

Please don't.

[Nikki]

I know.

[Brie]

No one even talks.

[Nikki]

So you've seen this older woman who trains with Kyle before us?

[Brie]

Yes, I know who you're talking about.

[Nikki]

She's 80.

[Brie]

No, she's not, Bri.

[Nikki]

She's 80.

[Brie]

Wow.

[Nikki]

She was deadlifting. 120 today.

[Brie]

See, guys?

[Nikki]

Yeah. If you feel like she's always been consistent and work out, she moves incredible. And you can tell much. She loves life. She stretches. She get. When I go, that's no way she's 80. She is 80 and she's not. Does it for, like, to be whatever. She's just in great shape.

[Brie]

She doesn't do it for shade, vanity. She does it for health.

[Nikki]

Yeah. And she's always in it for health. Her whole life. And to see her.

[Brie]

The.

[Nikki]

What's the word I'm looking for? Not the longevity, but the how great her health is. There's some. Some word for it that I can't think of right now. I'm like, that's goals. That's what I want. That's how I want to feel. But she's always been consistent and. And that consistency and weightlifting, especially for us women, once we hit 40 and we get old, we got to do it for our bones.

[Brie]

We have to.

[Nikki]

Have to.

[Brie]

Oh, gosh, we really do.

[Nikki]

Yeah.

[Brie]

I mean, speaking of lifting, the one who blows my mind is Saquon Barkley. Dang. How does he lift like that?

[Nikki]

That's when God blessed you and Will. Hard work.

[Brie]

Yeah.

[Nikki]

That's why he's so fast. I. I look at those videos and I'm just like, oh, my gosh, it makes my knees hurt.

[Brie]

Well, and think of how many people pressure him as he runs the ball and he gets yards. I mean, he's strong.

[Nikki]

He's like a rock.

[Brie]

Yep.

[Nikki]

I love it.

[Brie]

I love it, too.

[Nikki]

He was such a gift for us.

[Brie]

Yes, he was. You know, because we are back in our NFL season and it's been really fun for us Eagle fans. A lot of fans out there. I say we play a game.

[Nikki]

Yeah. Well, this game, though, we have to say we got the idea from our cousin who was with us at the PGA tournament Sunday pro court, which quick shout out to procore and PGA for hosting us.

[Brie]

Yes.

[Nikki]

And I said it before, but A big thank you that you guys spoiled us. You spoiled our cousins. We all had the greatest time ever. So thank you for that. We. So he was telling us about a game he plays with his friends. It's over as you want. People who gamble, it's the over under, but they do it in like a fun way. So he was saying they make it like a drinking game. So they will ask Chat GBT or Google, like how many people are in Australia or, or Antarctica. And so when it's your turn, you give the number and then the next person has to say the over. Is it over or under? So we're like, you know what this. Let's bring that game to the Nikki and Brie show today. It'd be kind of fun. It feels a little like Bella brains, but like more in a gambling way because you know, fantasy football started. Draftkings is out there making all their bets every weekend. So. Right. Yours.

[Brie]

It's a little mix of Bella Brains and Bella Blitz. You remember we used to do Bella Blitz.

[Nikki]

That was so much fun. And we'd always make fun of. Well like in a fun way. Matthew Barry, right. Who was like the king fantasy football player from. Was it NFL Network?

[Brie]

I don't remember.

[Nikki]

You don't remember that? We, they would always. Brian would always write in stuff to like poke at him because they, they both were like writers and like God, don't you remember that? Yeah, the writers.

[Brie]

That was a long time ago.

[Nikki]

Long time ago.

[Brie]

That's crazy.

[Nikki]

Brie. It was a few days ago. Oh wait, maybe yesterday. But anyways, a few days ago. It was 18 years since we started FCW.

[Brie]

I think wild.

[Nikki]

Our first showity FCW. Think it was what they said, but 18. And then a few days before that it was my 10 year anniversary as the longest reigning Divas champion. I'm like, where does the time go? 10 years is the longest training Divas champion. How did that happen 10 years ago? I agree.

[Brie]

So Nikki, I'm gonna ask you the first one and you got to tell me if it's over or under. Okay?

[Nikki]

Yeah.

[Brie]

Americans eat 15 billion hot dogs every year.

[Nikki]

I'm praying I'm right on this. I'm going to take the under.

[Brie]

Is she right?

[Host/Announcer]

It is actually over. It's around 20 billion.

[Brie]

Oh, my gosh. It's over. They eat over 20 billion hot dogs a year.

[Nikki]

Okay, Americans, we need to sit and talk.

[Brie]

Oh, my gosh. We need to. That's. We can't. 20 billion hot dogs, man. So two things go to my brain. One, poor animals. And also, no wonder health isn't great. We can't be eating hot dogs like that.

[Nikki]

That's wild. But I guess when I think of all the sporting events and stuff like that.

[Brie]

Wow.

[Nikki]

20 billion. So much.

[Brie]

Too much. All right, Nikki, you ask me one.

[Nikki]

All right, Brie. Over. Under. It takes one pound of grapes to make a bottle of wine.

[Brie]

Ooh, a bottle. I mean, it has. I would say it has to be more pound. Dang.

[Nikki]

All right, I'm gonna start the time.

[Brie]

Okay, so I say over. Under.

[Nikki]

Yeah. Over a pound or under?

[Brie]

I'm gonna go under.

[Nikki]

Ooh. I would have taken the over. Let's see.

[Brie]

Me too.

[Host/Announcer]

But it is over.

[Brie]

Oh, And I was gonna say over first, and I didn't trust my instinct.

[Nikki]

How many is it?

[Host/Announcer]

It's closer to two and a half pounds.

[Nikki]

Two and a half pounds, which makes sense. Makes me think of grapes. One little grape. That's what I was saying. I'm like, I think for sure.

[Brie]

No, But I figured I was going to be wrong and be shocked. All right, all right, Nikki, next question. Over, Under. The Average woman buys 200 lipsticks in her lifetime.

[Nikki]

Well, this one's hard because I would definitely take the under pre YouTube days, but now with all the YouTube glam tutorials and the makeup industry just being gigantic, 200 lipsticks in an entire lifetime. I mean, I would be an under, but I think majority are going to be an over, so I'm going to go for the over.

[Host/Announcer]

Okay, it is over. Closer to 350.

[Brie]

Wow. 350.

[Nikki]

Yep. I can see that.

[Brie]

I can see that too, for sure. Wow.

[Nikki]

Okay, Bri. Over. Under. Babies go through 5, 000 diapers in their first year.

[Brie]

Well, there's 360 days times up. Under.

[Nikki]

You're going for the under.

[Brie]

Yeah.

[Nikki]

All right, let's see.

[Host/Announcer]

It is under the numbers. More like 2500 to 3000.

[Nikki]

2500. 3000. I'm very happy that's the ender because I was about to get massive anxiety thinking.

[Brie]

Me too. Even though we should still have anxiety for thinking how many babies there are. But, yeah, for sure. You guys all remember Total Divas? I did an episode on diapers and why I did cloth diapers. Took everyone to the dump so we can all see.

[Nikki]

Yeah, you did, which is great. And by the way, it wasn't even mad the cloth diapers. No, you saw.

[Brie]

I saw it.

[Nikki]

Newborns. It's not bad. Every now and then you get a bad one. But, like.

[Brie]

And because wash machines have sanitize now and how. I do it in the sink, then put in the sink. Sanitize.

[Nikki]

It's easy.

[Brie]

My kids never got infections, but okay.

[Nikki]

All right, Nikki.

[Brie]

Over or under? The average person checks their phone 50 times a day.

[Nikki]

So sadly, I'm going to say over. Wish was under, but I think it's going to be over.

[Brie]

Me, too.

[Host/Announcer]

It is over. It's about 96 times a day.

[Nikki]

96 times.

[Brie]

I mean, I'll admit I'm guilty. Sometimes I just, like, look at my phone and I go, why did I just do that? There was no reason.

[Nikki]

I'm the same, but I kind of.

[Brie]

Want to get better by doing that. Yeah, I've been better about kind of putting it away, but I want to get even more better, like, not looking at it and feeling the need for it. Yeah, I hate feeling like I need it. Totally. All right, Nikki.

[Nicole]

Over.

[Brie]

Under. The Average American drinks 20 gallons of coffee per year.

[Nikki]

You know, dang. I feel like it'd be right under. Or it's right over. 20 gallons. You know what? On this one, I'm gonna go for the under.

[Host/Announcer]

This one is actually over. It's about 20.

[Nikki]

I would have said gallons. How many?

[Host/Announcer]

26 gallons.

[Nikki]

26. I had a feeling. My. You know, my first. My first gut instinct did tell me over. But we all love coffee.

[Brie]

Coffee.

[Nikki]

We are obsessed with coffee. All right, 26 gallons.

[Brie]

Over or under? Oh, wait, no. You ask me now.

[Nikki]

Yeah. The radius of the Earth is about 3,802 miles.

[Brie]

I mean, this is like. This is going to be a major guess, but I'm going to say over.

[Nikki]

Yeah, I think you might be right.

[Host/Announcer]

It is over. 3,958 miles.

[Brie]

Oh, wow.

[Nikki]

I sort of thought way more. 3,950. 58. I would have thought way more.

[Brie]

Me, too. That's so interesting.

[Nikki]

It's wild. Okay.

[Brie]

All right, Nicole.

[Nicole]

Over.

[Brie]

Under. Kids ask 200 questions a day. I mean, come on. Has to be under.

[Nikki]

Feels like. I mean, I would think under.

[Host/Announcer]

I think under it's actually over. It's closer to 300 questions a day.

[Nikki]

300 questions a day. Damn. No wonder I'm so tired.

[Brie]

No wonder teachers are stressed.

[Nikki]

Yeah.

[Brie]

Holy moly.

[Nikki]

I mean, good for them for asking questions that. Honestly, Faith.

[Brie]

I mean, buddy, did Ask me already, like, 100 questions. I do feel like over breakfast.

[Nikki]

Yeah.

[Brie]

Okay, Nicole, next. We have two left. I feel like I'm learning a lot.

[Nikki]

Yeah. Oh, me. Some studies say we need at least 10 hugs a day for emotional well being.

[Brie]

10 for my emotional well being. I'm gonna say over.

[Nikki]

It's a lot of hugs.

[Host/Announcer]

This one is under, but it's.

[Nikki]

I would have thought under a day. How many?

[Host/Announcer]

Eight hugs.

[Brie]

Eight.

[Nikki]

Eight hugs a day. That's still a lot.

[Brie]

I guess right now.

[Nikki]

I go through a lot of days without hugs.

[Brie]

I guess that's true. I just think the kids give so many hugs, and I love it.

[Nikki]

Oh, yeah. Actually, what I'm talking about, I get so many. You know what I mean? And every time he hugs me, it does but make me feel, like, so incredible.

[Brie]

That's what I was saying for me.

[Nikki]

Over.

[Brie]

But yeah. All right, last one. Over.

[Nikki]

Under.

[Brie]

First impressions are usually formed within the first five seconds of meeting someone.

[Nikki]

I'll give the over on that. Five seconds. Really quick. I think it's close, but that seems quick.

[Host/Announcer]

If I went under, it is over. It's in the first seven seconds.

[Nikki]

Seven seconds. Yeah, I could see that.

[Brie]

Yeah.

[Nikki]

Nice. So I definitely beat you if we were choosing a winner. Yeah, I definitely beat you. All right, so if we want to keep score. Beat you on the last game too.

[Brie]

Yeah. You feel like you beat me a lot? Yeah, I don't really feel that, but. Oh, well.

[Nikki]

All right. Brie will hit us with some inspiration. Affirmation.

[Brie]

Yeah. You know, like we've always said, like, we always kind of pick quotes that if things were filling and in the last week, like, things have kind of felt heavy, but I always feel like quotes and affirmations and inspiration always help you, you know, feel better. So this one's from Olivia Ann Rose, and her quote is, in the darkness, the strongest souls don't search for the light. They become it. So I thought that was a really great quote.

[Nikki]

Yeah.

[Brie]

It's so beautiful, and it's so true. It's like, you really see sometimes at the darkest times, the. A lot of people's light shine.

[Nikki]

It's so true. And you got to make sure your light shines in the way you feel most comfortable and how you feel is natural for you. But I love that quote, and that's a great quote for right now. It's so true when things just feel super dark. Yeah. You don't have to find the light. You are the light.

[Brie]

That is. Right. So make sure to be that this.

[Nikki]

Little light of mine. I'm gonna let it shine. I haven't even actually haven't sang that song to Mateo in a long time. I need to sing him that song again. This Little Adam, actually, I gotta do it.
