SPEAKER_00 0:04

Hello and welcome back to Kind of Preachy. We are coming back for our second summer check-in. Yes. We are. But you didn't say who we are. Because I am out of sorts.

SPEAKER_01 0:15

I'm Steph Moore. I'm Katie Bryant. Oh my gosh. What is wrong with my brain? I forgot my birthday. I forgot what year when I was at the doctor's today. Because I was at the doctor's this morning. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 0:29

Oh goodness. It's fine. Everything, I just keep I keep saying that over and over again. Everything is fine. It's fine. It's fine. I saw that clip from Friends where Ross and Joey dates Rachel for a minute and like he they're on the double date.

SPEAKER_01 0:41

He's like, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine. Like his voice gets really high. Oh, margaritas! The fact that we know that.

SPEAKER_00 0:50

Oh, it's my comfort show.

SPEAKER_01 0:52

It really is. It really is. Speaking of shows, we were talking about something that you watch for the first time.

SPEAKER_00 0:58

Oh my gosh. Okay. So I think it was maybe this Sunday. It like I'm sitting alone in my living room and TV had just been left on. All of a sudden it says, like, it's the wonderful world of Disney, and here's the castle. You know, I'm like, I'm like, oh, what Disney movie isn't gonna play at eight o'clock on a Sunday night, you know? Very exciting. I see the neon lights, and I was like, it triggers a memory for me. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. And the memory is that I had my mom and dad for Christmas one year got me the soundtrack to Cocktail. Okay. So you mean this is a cassette? It's a cass. Oh, yes, it's a cassette for sure. Yes. It was like a cassette single. And Tom Cruise is on the cover. Just the single? It's just the single. Okay. I well, I it was Cocomo on one side. Okay. And Tutie Fruity on the other side. Little Richard, okay? So Beach Boys and Little Richard. And I wore this thing out. So of course you did because I want to see great songs. Aruba, Jamaica. Ooh, I want to take you to Bermuda. Bahama. Okay, we have to stop now because this is too much for people.

SPEAKER_01 2:01

I'm so we love it. We don't want to turn it off in the beginning. The only thing is, I saw that. I caught it on TV. Okay. But you but if you've never seen it, you can't watch the cable TV version of it. You have to watch the real version.

SPEAKER_00 2:14

I had never seen it. And so I'm watching like a half hour of it and I was like, oh, this will be fun memories, although like memories of the songs, not necessarily the things because I'd never seen it. Okay. I was like in maybe third or fourth grade. Okay. Maybe. Yeah. Somewhere around that. 80s, yeah. Yeah. 80s. So then I'm watching, and I was then I called my mom. I'm like, Mom, you caught me a soundtrack to cocktail when I was in third grade. It is not third grade appropriate. However, Tootie Fruity and Kokomo, excellent songs. I remember we were at to be fair, she said she'd never seen it either. Your mom. She'd never seen it either.

SPEAKER_01 2:50

So okay, I mean this is not that much judgment. We this is uh we were away for a football game and we had we had to spend the night because it was pretty far away in in the mountains of Kentucky. And I I was little, my mom was coaching, and she decided, you know, we're gonna all we're gonna pile into uh one of the rooms and have a movie night. And the girls picked pretty woman, not knowing any context of movies.

SPEAKER_00 3:17

How would you not know any context of pretty woman?

SPEAKER_01 3:19

That is like woman, because it was brand, it was like generational differences. And you know how it just came out, but how you can in hotels at the time you could buy movies. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And so here we all are, and I'm young, so I Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_00 3:32

So in my mind, this is recent.

SPEAKER_01 3:34

This is like my my I was younger, I was still in elementary school. Oh my gosh. And I'm with all of these high schoolers watching Pretty Woman.

SPEAKER_00 3:44

Yeah. Okay, that's two singing things.

SPEAKER_01 3:46

I'll try and say, I know. So I also then I go back and I like look at the watch the movies that we used to watch from like the 80s and early 90s, and I'm like, wow, like either a lot of this stuff went over my head because for a lot of the like Pretty in Pink, 16 Candles, like so much of that was even Breakfast Club, like underneath the table, like there's so much I did not know.

SPEAKER_00 4:14

I did not know. I will tell you that holy crap, we watched this. We had a movie night at church last we watch this. Yes, we had a movie night at church last night, and they kind of gave like the the premise of like this is like 90s PG, which is very different than it really is 2026 PG.

SPEAKER_01 4:29

Because I saw pictures and I saw the movie because you know, I'm so mutual friends. It was Sandlot. Yes, yeah, which is hilarious because I'm like, there are scenes in that movie where you're like, oh. But I didn't get it then, and now I remember watching with my kids for the first time, and I was like, it was like my 12, like I don't know, it was probably 10, 11, but 12 when he watched it the first time, and I was like, Are you actually interesting because you would think like younger, like 90s, 80s, 70s, you know, that PG would be way more strict than it is now, but it's kind of reversed, you know, you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_00 5:06

Yeah, but you know what? We grew up in the days that like you could go to the drive-in and you're literally watching one movie and you turn around and it's like the the rated R movie, like if you just turn your head in the next car over. And then yeah, and then like you're gonna get in like a whole other show.

SPEAKER_01 5:21

You really are. That is so intriguing.

SPEAKER_00 5:24

But I don't even know if like people do the drive-in anymore. I think we have one around here. We do.

SPEAKER_01 5:28

I took I took Belle. No, I took Faith. I can't remember it's child. Oh my gosh, my memory. One of them for one of their birthdays, they wanted to bring all their friends, so it had been it had been Belle.

SPEAKER_00 5:39

But I think that's like a one. Like the drive-in used to be like they would show multiple things used tuned to the different stations. Oh, that's true. To hear the different movies.

SPEAKER_01 5:48

I think we went uh it had been Belle because we went and it was Halloween and she's September birth end of September birthday. So it was which what is a bad Bidler Baby B? See, why can't I think of it? Which okay Halloween movie that comes out?

SPEAKER_00 6:02

Oh, Hocus Pocus, Hocus Pocus. Thank you. I was I'm sorry, I'm still back in the 80s. But I guess Hocus Pocus is maybe like early 90s. I mean the original one was old. That's the last time that I went to a drive-in. So it's it still exists. Prior to that, I'm pretty sure I was nursing a baby then. And so it's been a while. You were really long. It's been a while, yeah. Okay, so okay, so last time we checked in here, we announced that my daughter was getting married.

SPEAKER_01 6:26

Yes, and a very quick very quick, and so quick that invitations were already sent out, which I thought it was crazy.

SPEAKER_00 6:33

Well, here's the deal. I looked at the etiquette because, like I said, I don't know what I'm doing here. And it said the wedding invitation should go about four months in advance. No, yeah, that four months in advance. And I and I think maybe you could do it three to four months, but because it's a December wedding, yeah. It's like smack dab in the middle. I mean, it's like the week after Thanksgiving.

SPEAKER_01 6:53

It r oh, yeah, it really is. It really is. Wow. I know, which is why only only one of me is coming. I know. Well, I'm hoping he might depending on what happens. I'm hoping he will not be there because I'm hoping that means he's still coaching. I I hope that for him.

SPEAKER_00 7:11

I get it. I know. I know. You know what? But that was the kind of the thing of like we're kind of in the middle of the holidays and Erla I'm like and I know that the people who are supposed to be there are gonna be able to make it.

SPEAKER_01 7:23

If not, it's okay. But I'm also already thinking of, oh, I might have to get a new outfit because I don't even know if I'm gonna be able to fit in anything that I have. So I can't even imagine if I'm thinking that what you're thinking. I because you have to are you shopping for that?

SPEAKER_00 7:36

I tried on dresses for the first time two days ago.

SPEAKER_01 7:40

What style? I'm just curious, what style are you going for as mother of the brush?

SPEAKER_00 7:45

This is I don't know yet. So I tried on some dresses. Yes. And so I went to Dillard's after work. And I think of old ladies when I think of Dillard's. I'm sorry. To be fair, so Matt and I, like a month ago, we were up at Good Mall up in Cincinnati. Yeah, yeah. Kenwood, if you're around here. Like we uh that's the that's the good mall, right? And I kind of struck out at Macy's, I struck out at Nordstrom, I didn't really see anything there. So Dillard's kind of had so I'm like, so I just kind of went in and just to see. And I just pulled a bunch of things. I didn't know what size I was, I don't know what style I'm looking for. It's also winter, so I'm like, there's a lot of factors that I'm not sure of.

SPEAKER_01 8:26

Well, oh, that makes it so hard.

SPEAKER_00 8:28

So I think I tried on like six dresses, and the first one I tried on was a halter. Oh. Okay. And it was floral too, but it was really complimentary to the wedding colors. Okay. I'm gonna see if I can put these up in our story after we love this because maybe we'll let you guys vote on them and see if it's different. That would be awesome. So it was it was really pretty. It didn't quite fit the way I wanted to up top. Okay, but can it be can it be maybe? I don't know how I don't know how to alter a whole, my gosh. Words are hard for me. It's okay. That's that is part of um perimenopause, is that you can go 40 to 50 years knowing words your whole life, and then it's like poof, they're gone. Okay, so you're gonna try it on this halter dress you try to do. Try to talter. Okay, great. I'm a little self-conscious. There's a little bat wingy, there's a little crepey skin there. I don't know. I don't know if it made me feel most confident, but it did get a lot of votes. Oh. And then I tried on the other like contender for me was a like a champagne gold, like a real light gold, and it felt like athleisure. The lining in it felt so good. It was real slinky, okay, but long, and it was kind of like slightly off shoulder. It kind of was like Oh, I love that. And it was, I felt really good in it.

SPEAKER_01 9:51

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 9:52

Now, I don't want to harp on the fact that we've lost weight, you know, because it's whatever. But to be fair, in my I've never had this body as an adult. Okay. So even like in high school and college when I was, you know, thinner, like I didn't have a, I didn't have curves. I didn't have things. So I didn't have anything. So when you were here and you're like So this is like the first time I've ever had this body. And so to go in and try clothes on and be able to honestly purchase, like I didn't purchase anything, but like try to try anything on the rack that isn't like in a plus size area. Oh yes, was like, holy moly. Wow. Yeah. So then I'm just pulling dresses, like just I wasn't like looking to buy anything that day, just kind of wanted to see. So I also try on like kind of a bigger dress, and then you know, just different necklines, colors, just all the things. I just don't know. So I'm sending videos to my husband. I'm trying to FaceTime my best friend and she's not answering and I'm getting irritated. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Not her fault. She didn't expect that. It was like 5:30 on a Thursday. Um, it wasn't like a time that like anyone should be readily available, but um, I decided it was gonna go. And anyway, I send the dresses to my husband, and he's like, No. Oh, no, oh, and he's like, I like the halter one. And uh, he's like, I don't like the rest of them. Like, why? He's like, I don't think you should wear sleeves. He's like, You're hot now. And I was like, Okay, that was really sweet. And I'm gonna try and not think that you'd think I was not hot before, even though we all know the truth, it's fine. I lived in sweatshirts and leggings. It wasn't like I was presenting like anything, but I love that he But he was like, I really want to show you off, which I was like, Oh, I don't really know how I feel about this. I love it. Yes, so so then I was like, Okay, well, I'm going to post the six dresses on Instagram. Okay. Okay, in my stories, just in my stories. It doesn't go away after 24 hours. I have never had more interaction in my stories than the hot debate of these dresses. And the so which one won? The metallic dress won overall of like the most amount of likes and good feedback. Okay. But I had but that didn't that outweighed the feedback of you're too they're too old for you. That that's the biggest concern. So I yeah, I'm a little concerned. I'm like, I don't know how a mother of the bride dresses.

SPEAKER_01 12:22

Because like if you go back to what your mom wore and what my mom wore, is like my mom wore like a sequence top that was short sleeve.

SPEAKER_00 12:33

They're all sequin-y and they all have some sort of like weird sheer jacket that goes over that's like somewhat attached. That's exactly what it was. And and that's not what I tried on, although I did see those. I'm like, I do not. Not that I'm gonna be mother of the bride or mother of the groom anytime soon. But that doesn't feel like me. I also don't want to like upstage and look like a bridesmaid. Not upstage, but I don't want to like pull, I don't want to look like a bridesmaid. I want to look, I want to, I think when I look back, I want to feel like I was the mother of the bride.

SPEAKER_01 13:04

Yeah, but also you want to feel good.

SPEAKER_00 13:07

Yes, yes.

SPEAKER_01 13:09

So does that mean that you've been taking Elena shopping too?

SPEAKER_00 13:13

Oh, we have a wedding dress. You have a wedding dress.

SPEAKER_01 13:15

We have a wedding dress, yes. I'm giving no hints about it. No, no, you should not. No, you should not give hints about it. Oh, I'm so excited. So did you cry?

SPEAKER_00 13:25

It came in, and the first time we tried it on, it was not a perfect fit. Okay. And we panicked and we thought, okay, we might have to like scratch things. She's been working really hard of you know, like taking care of herself and working out and doing all the things. And so we went, we did another fitting, and when I saw it, I just burst into tears. Oh, I love that so much. I just burst into tears. That makes me so happy, and it was it just made everything real. I don't know why things haven't felt real before, but that makes her in the dress was whoa.

SPEAKER_01 14:05

Oh, this is happening. It's happening. Oh, Matt's gonna cry.

SPEAKER_00 14:09

Well, he has asked me to desensitize him. Oh, okay. So I'm showing him the dress once a week, a picture of her in the dress. Okay. And we are also trying to pick out the father-daughter dance song now so he can listen to it on repeat so he doesn't ball his eyes out the whole time. Because did I say how sensitive he's been recently? No.

SPEAKER_01 14:28

Are we allowed to talk about it without him getting hurt right now?

SPEAKER_00 14:33

Okay, I don't know. We'll see. We'll see if I get a talking to later. So, well, let me just tell you that's kind of the trifecta of things that are going on in my household this summer. Okay. Matt changed jobs. Yes. I have mentioned in the past he was working two jobs, he is now working one job. And the responsibility level, while high, it like it's not it's not the daily people need me the way it is when you were a school principal. Yes. People need him, but it is not in the same everyday. And uh, he also had shoulder surgery in the beginning of June. Okay. And so he was like four to six weeks in a sling and in a lot of pain and homebound sleeping in a recliner. So he had a lot of time to think. Yes. A lot of downtime where he couldn't go out and be active and do all the things. And Elena's engagement happens all at the same time. Oh, wow. Okay. So this man has like his ADHD brain has been on overdrive for years of like constantly having to worry about many, many things. And all of a sudden he has nothing to worry about. He's got vacation, he's on leave, she gets engaged, and I we are talking about colors, and he was like, Oh, you don't want my opinion on that? Oh, I didn't even know he would have an opinion. That's what I said. That's what I said. But apparently he's got time to care. And then, like, so we're going to visit locations, and I just kind of I didn't even say anything to him about it. You know, it was, I didn't think he had an opinion. I don't remember my dad having any opinion. I have never talked to anybody whose like father's like had like a real opinion on this kind of thing. They want a budgetary opinion. Yeah, same. That's all I care about. But tell me how much it's gonna cost. But fonts on invitations and things like that. Like, I didn't expect him to have an opinion. But he does. But he did.

unknown 16:31

Wow.

SPEAKER_00 16:31

And so we had a little, you know, um little moment, and I was like trying to kind of like put all the thoughts in my head, and I'm like, why is he caring about this? He's never cared about any of this. Also, like the kids check in with me, you know, on the regular. Yes, can I like if your kids need to do something, do they text Doug first or do they text you?

SPEAKER_01 16:54

No, I I was sitting at work in a meeting and I get a text from Faith, I'm hungry. Yes. And I go, Is your is your dad and your brother and your sister? Yeah. Okay. So then I text the whole family. I go, why is Faith telling me she's hungry and I'm sitting in a meeting? They're like, Do you want me to do something about it? I'm like, Yes, you guys do something about it. She could do something about it, which is what I said.

SPEAKER_00 17:18

Because I get it. But there's like a uh the the mom is the mom, right? Yes, and and it doesn't take anything away from the dad being the dad. But there is a regular rhythm of communication that I have entirely still with.

SPEAKER_01 17:32

99% of the time, if there's something going on, I'm the first call.

SPEAKER_00 17:35

Yes. And so we found out that because my husband honestly has not been available. But yes.

SPEAKER_01 17:41

It's saying I mean, it's just the way that it's just nothing that it's nothing against our husband. No, no, no, no, no. Against even husbands in general or fathers in general. So it's just, I think, very typical stuff.

SPEAKER_00 17:51

But around this same time, he starts noticing when he's home, they're still coming to me first. Oh. And this became very apparent to him. Yes. And so also Elena was very busy and she's in and out and she's barely home. And when she's home, it's like dropping stuff off or maybe eating a meal with us and then getting out of dodge. Yeah. And so I was watching his feelings get very hurt.

SPEAKER_01 18:10

Oh.

SPEAKER_00 18:11

And, you know, the kids are like checking in. He was like, Oh, where's da-da-da? And I'm like, Oh, he asked if he could stay late. He said, Well, they didn't ask me, you know. So it was like And he just became very aware that his role of he hadn't been around. Yes. Not in a bad way, because he's been around for the big stuff, he's been around for the stuff. He's been around for the stuff. He just hasn't been around for the like the permissions of stuff because it just he's been busy. And so I've really I've always kind of been in that role. So wedding stuff, we've realized like, like, dude, you gotta give your dad a role. He needs something, he needs something, like just needs to feel a part of it. He needs to feel like he's a part of it. And I think it's so cool that he wants to be a part of it. And I feel bad that like we kind of skipped him in a few steps. And so he had he had told like his best friend, he's like, I just I'm kind of feeling left out. And he's like, dude, man up and just pull out your checkbook. That's your job. I love that's what he said, which is true. That's what his friend told him. Thank you, Dave. I appreciate that. But in all things, I was like, if you want to be a part of this stuff, like let's be a part of it. Yeah. So going back to the dresses, I sent him these pictures, and he was like, No. Oh, no. I'm like, I it's weird. I was just expecting him to be like, I sent him dresses that I thought I looked good in all of them, and to which to get his opinion of like, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_01 19:30

I was like, okay, all right. I love that he has an opinion, and I love that he wants you to show off your body. What just weird stuff.

SPEAKER_00 19:38

Things are weird things happening.

SPEAKER_01 19:41

I love that so much.

SPEAKER_00 19:42

So, yes, we are amidst the wedding planning. We are senior. We're starting our senior year. My son's grade year. My son started a job. Like I know like a job job, yes. He had been working part-time at an ice cream shop for the last few years. Yeah, because I when he met when he met who stopped by what Bengals? Like, oh, oh, oh yeah. Jamar Chase and T. And well, yeah, they stopped by the ice cream place with their cool cars, and Sam didn't even recognize they were Bengals players. He just saw the cars, and his eyes were like, you know, yeah, of course. 90s cartoons, like towards the cars. Like, oh, I just sent you pictures of the cars. I'm like, did you not get pictures with the the football players? And he was like, No, maybe they'll come back. And they did come back. Oh, did they? And he did get pictures with them, but he was like, But the cars are in the pictures too. So he was like really like uh Jasper. I see what he focuses. Yeah, he lost cars. So I did I have I mentioned here that he has decided he doesn't want to go to college. No. Okay. Listen, I I went to college. I mean, what but I I have always been very clear with my kids if that's not the direction, you be the best at what you want to do. You'll do some sort of trade school if that's what you want to do. But if college doesn't feel like your thing, it's not gonna be your thing.

SPEAKER_01 20:58

I always tell my kids, you know, it's not like it was with us where you know our our parents told us you have to go to college, you'd need a college degree to get a job anywhere.

SPEAKER_00 21:07

Like, oh, and don't get $40,000 plus dollars in student loan debt if this is not your jam.

SPEAKER_01 21:13

And so I both Isabel and Torrin, I said, unless you're going to college, you need a degree for the field that you're going to be in. Then don't figure out something else.

SPEAKER_00 21:23

So this past like maybe six months, he was kind of exploring what trades look like. Okay. And so he looked at HVAC and that didn't really excite him at all. He kind of looked at being an electrician. That didn't excite him. I would not have thought plumbing would have excited him. But let me tell you what his research found. What? There's a massive decline in plumbers. Yes. Especially, you know, like like because you age out, you know, or you know, there's there's a lot, there's no shortage of plumbing jobs or companies around here. And so his school set him up with an internship. With a plumbing company. And then the day before school got let out, they called him and said, Hey, we're not gonna be able to do the internship. Oh no. He was devastated. Because he's looking like not just like I need to fill a thing with my school internship. I'm looking at this being a possible career. And he's part of the STEM program, right? Does he do that? Yeah, he does engineering through Ignite. Yes. His school. Well, it's like a magnet, it's like an act a magnet school around here. And anyway, so he's in the engineering program there. All that to say, he we called the person who was in charge of the program there and we're like, hey, like what do we do here? And she's like, I'm gonna work on this. I'm working for the next two weeks. I'm gonna work really hard, okay, figure something out. But you guys too like start calling around of like seeing if you can find something. And I'm like, how many plumbers do I know? You know, like I don't know. Like I'm trying to, you know, figure out and do you have the ability to pay a kid? You know, like do you even have the availability to do that? Because they really want these kids to have some sort of a paid experience. You know, not crazy money, but you know, something. Something. So the school resource officer at his school was like, Hey, my friend's a plumber. Oh. And they set it up and he interviewed, and the guy said, Well, do you want to start over the summer? And he's like, Yeah, I want to do it. And so he's a month in. Okay. And he freaking loves being a plumber. Does he really? Hey, this is so out of left field. This is not where I saw him. Yes.

SPEAKER_01 23:27

But he loves it. And I know plumbers are getting paid very well. Yes.

SPEAKER_00 23:34

Yeah. So he is doing a night school for plumbing, so like a trade school starting next month. Already. Already. So he'll do it his senior year. Wow. And his, you know, like his year outside of high school, and he will be able to test for his journeymans after that. No way. Yeah. So he'll be able to do that on the early side. And if I could just, I'm not going to say the name of the company yet, because that's his internship and that's his business. But I will tell you, there's an older gentleman who owns this company has been so kind to him. Oh. And so really kind of taking him under his wing. Taking him under his wing. They've hazed him a little. It's okay. You know, he's getting he's getting some trade talk. He's kind of learning these things. Yes. In fact, well, plumbing, you're dealing with he, yeah. You you are dealing with it. You're dealing with it.

SPEAKER_01 24:25

Especially if you're dealing like any any type of plumbing issue in a house or anywhere is just the worst.

SPEAKER_00 24:30

We should also be commended that you have not cussed so far. This is so impressive. I know. And especially right there, right there. I would like you had the end. Um I help my customer. I'm so proud of you. Thank you. So look at me growing. It's probably because you forgot the word. I'm teasing. But I say all this because Sam gets in the work truck with the guy who he's shadowing under. Uh-huh. And he's like, man, I got this new podcast I'm listening to. You want to hear it? No, he did not. It's kind of preachy. Well, hello, plumbers. Thank you for listening. I said, Well, listen, Sam, if they think they're teasing you about this, it's fine because they're going to get to know women real well. They will. They're going to hear about Jesus. Yes. So if you want to talk back, be like, hey, you can listen to some, you know, like my mom talk about Jesus, or we could talk about him. This is this is this is what plumbers have told me.

SPEAKER_01 25:26

Flushable wipes are not flushable. Do not flush anything down there. Do not flush. Just TP. Yes. No sanitary products should ever, even the ones that say could go down.

SPEAKER_00 25:38

I'm gonna, I don't know if I've admitted that I learned this later in life. Oh, with especially with tampons. Tampon. I did. Nobody told me. Even, even I do realize it all says on like bathroom doors and boxes. Don't ask me why I didn't recognize this right away. Like, do not flush feminine products down. I don't know. I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 25:55

When you're younger, you don't care because you're like, whatever.

SPEAKER_00 25:58

Can I tell one plumbing story about this? Okay. This is like his second day. Okay. Oh no. And they've just thrown him into this. Yes, they did. He has come home with the best stories, honestly. Oh, would he probably so day two of being a plumber, okay? Learning the ropes. They've got him under a trailer, okay? He's doing the pipes and something falls on his face. And someone goes, It's the white mice. I'm like, oh my gosh, there was mice.

unknown 26:26

No.

SPEAKER_00 26:27

It's a tampon. There was a clog in the drain because somebody flushed tampons.

SPEAKER_01 26:34

And you cannot do that.

SPEAKER_00 26:35

No. So, okay, second plumbing start because it's too good. Love it. And we love an inappropriate story here, right? Yeah, we do. Okay. So they get called to a gas station. Now we have a couple of gas stations around here. I don't know if you know, but they're called hop gas stations. Yes. And in the bathrooms, there's this button that says don't press this button. It's a big red button. But you should press. But you should press it. Because it it turns the lights off. It makes a disco ball like start comes out and it starts playing music. And you sing and you dance. Yes. So they get called to this hop station. Okay. And they, you know, they they try snaking the drain. They try plunging like nothing's happening. And so then they have to pull out the camera to be like, what's this thing? So they put this snake sort of camera down here. Uh-huh. And the guy goes, This looks like a job for the rookie. No. And so he doesn't. I don't know if he knew exactly what it was when he did, but he gets his hand, he has a glove, you know, like, you know, gets his hand in there, and it is a sex toy. But when the guy says this is a job for a rookie, he literally leaves the bathroom, turns the light, he presses the button. So Sam pulls out a sex toy out of a public toilet with the disco music and like the room reflective light everywhere. He is a hoot. It has been hilarious. So Sam loves, he goes he's like, I the first week, he I mean, like he he did a lot of res like not like commercial stuff the first week, and now he's doing more residential stuff.

SPEAKER_01 28:11

And I'm sure what he's finding in these plumbing systems is hilarious.

SPEAKER_00 28:16

He is just, he's like, I'm meeting the funniest people.

SPEAKER_01 28:18

I bet.

SPEAKER_00 28:19

He's like he walked into this one apartment, and this lady was sitting on her couch with a bunny, just bunnies, like there was I think he said there's four rabbits. Oh, they like actual bunnies. They produce. And then so she turns around, she looks and she goes, I have a staple in my finger. And he goes, You sure do? Goes and replaces her toilet. He's just, I mean, but if you knew how much much of a character Sam is, like he's just so personable. Like to Yes. I listen, I'm so happy that he's happy. He is learning new things, he is learning people's skills, he is doing all this, like the potential to earn as well. And anyway, so it has been a little fun journey of watching him like go into adulting. And so he kind of worked his full full-time over the summer.

SPEAKER_01 29:07

Five days, 40 hours, labor. Because he starts, do they start school this week?

SPEAKER_00 29:12

Next week. Next week. Not no, the next week. We start on the 19th.

SPEAKER_01 29:17

Same. So not this week. Yeah, same. We start. Doug starts this week.

SPEAKER_00 29:21

Oh, wow.

SPEAKER_01 29:22

Yeah, we're not ready.

SPEAKER_00 29:22

I'm really glad that's not us. Yeah, they go back on the but I've seen a lot of people posting their back to school pictures already. I thought that came fast.

SPEAKER_01 29:29

Whoa, that's crazy.

SPEAKER_00 29:31

Well, yeah, my best friend, she's in Florida, and she said, Do you guys when do you guys start back? And I'm like, Oh, I should probably look at that. I don't know. And she goes, Well, we all start next week. And I'm like, What? I'm like, I'm pretty sure it's not next week. It wasn't, but she was like, Man, you're really off your game. I was like, I get it. I am off my game. It's like I'm in denial that all this stuff is happening.

SPEAKER_01 29:50

I mean, they the school sent out an email with like all the important dates that I didn't even open up yet. I'm like, I know I need to open up that you sure do that email to make sure that I can't.

SPEAKER_00 30:00

And then you need to immediately add to your calendar because I will look at it and then I'll be like, I'll do that later. Are you?

SPEAKER_01 30:06

I I have learned with back to school shopping that I no longer go back to school shopping until after I truly understand what they really need. Because I have years of buying too much crap that ever gets used.

SPEAKER_00 30:22

Well, I'm a sucker.

SPEAKER_01 30:24

Oh, you you go, you do it.

SPEAKER_00 30:26

I don't I didn't do well, no. It's worse, it's worse than people do. It's worse than just going back to school shopping. What? My stomach is growling. I don't know if you just heard that.

SPEAKER_01 30:36

Um, I'm hungry. I haven't eaten yet, too.

SPEAKER_00 30:38

I'm very hungry. I did blood work. I'm very proud of myself. Goodness, yeah. We need food. Totally, we just totally that one. Target had a collaboration with Love Shack Fancy. Okay. And Abby was like, Mom, I really want this. And so I told my husband, like, hey, I'm gonna try and go like when it comes out so she can get a couple of things. And then I lost my damn mind and blacked out. Oh no, you did not.

SPEAKER_01 31:07

I spent too much. Don't don't say it on air. I'm not, I'm not.

SPEAKER_00 31:12

I mean, I know. But then Sam also was like, hey, my girlfriend also has the same taste as Abby. Could you get her a few things too? You're very kind. I'm a great boyfriend. I really am. I really are. I really am. She would say that too. Anyway, so yeah, I I I got sucked into the waiting in line at Target when it opened and I bought a bunch of stuff.

SPEAKER_01 31:38

So back to school, is it supplies or is it more clothing?

SPEAKER_00 31:42

She's really pushing me on the clothing right now. We'll have to take our next week.

SPEAKER_01 31:46

Like Isabel sent me a TikTok of you know, a college kid saying, you know, I waiting for my mom to take me back to school shopping, but I know she's not going to because she's in college. Well, I know. And I'm like, do you do you want me to take you back to school shopping? But my back to school shopping is really gonna be okay, we're gonna go to the outlet, to the gap outlet, and see how we can get you.

SPEAKER_00 32:10

Yeah, I don't, I don't know. I usually get him a couple of outfits. Same. Now, I don't know if that, you know, Sam's gonna be like, I probably need to get him work clothes if that makes more sense.

SPEAKER_01 32:24

Lauren's clothing taste is becoming way more expensive than the girls.

SPEAKER_00 32:29

Oh, Sam, too. He's so bougie.

SPEAKER_01 32:31

I'm like, what is this? Like, why why is it costing me so much for a pair of you know, cargo shorts? Not cargo, he doesn't wear cargo shorts. What that was not it, but you know No, cargo shorts are back actually.

SPEAKER_00 32:43

What? That is a thing. Sam went and bought himself. I will say, like, he was really expensive for me like last year, the year before. He got super into colognes and we haven't gotten clothes, but cowboy boots, yes.

SPEAKER_01 32:55

Okay, we're not very expensive cowboy boots. Maybe I don't know where cowboy hats. I'm like, oh my gosh, what he's really gone country, huh? He he is living his best SEC frat life.

SPEAKER_00 33:10

And you know what? I picture him. I mean, if you have never seen Casey's son, he is 6'2. Something like that.

SPEAKER_01 33:17

Maybe he's just very tall.

SPEAKER_00 33:20

I don't know what position he played, but I will say he's built like a linebacker. Yeah, I was gonna say he's built like a linebacker. I mean, like he's he's a big dude.

SPEAKER_01 33:27

He's a very tall, very yes, he is a he's a and drives a truck. Like what what you'd picture, flannel, you know, which you can picture a country.

SPEAKER_00 33:40

Okay, I would say Sam is not country boy, but he's I would say it's a little bit of a mix of both. A mix of both.

SPEAKER_01 33:46

Like, like we can we can break out the khaki shorts of the polo, or we can wear the jeans, the cut the suits and that.

SPEAKER_00 33:54

So last year it was like he had like the baggy jeans, and you know, like not like super baggy, but you know, it they look nice on him, you know, like he he had like, you know, he looked nice.

SPEAKER_01 34:04

Which is interesting from like never wearing jeans ever to now wearing jeans all the time.

SPEAKER_00 34:08

Oh yes, yeah. He we went from like wearing joggers all the time to and sweatpants all of a sudden he went like jeans were the thing. But Sam, he's he's been working for himself and he, you know, he buys his own stuff, right? Now for the most part. So he went to Old Navy. Oh this is like two weeks ago, and he's like, I want to show you what I got. Okay. There was a burgundy polo, a hunter green polo. Okay, straight leg jeans.

unknown 34:35

Oh.

SPEAKER_00 34:36

I don't even understand. Okay. And he had like this uh blue plaid shirt, and I was like, You're and he tried it on. I'm like, you look like your dad when we were dating. Oh, don't say that. Very 90s. It was very nineties. I know, it's not a big thing. And this was exactly like what Matt would have worn. Yes, it's exactly what Matt would have worn. I laughed. I was like, I'm just so sad we didn't have this white jacket and this plaid Nike hat that he used to wear all the time. I'm like, this was I was like, I wish we would have saved that for him.

SPEAKER_01 35:05

I didn't know. I didn't know. I it it which is crazy. And so, you know, we're he's moving into his frat house, so that that's my gosh. I think him and Belle are leaving soon. Next week, I think they'll go back to school.

SPEAKER_00 35:21

Oh gosh, is that gonna be hard for Faith? Like going back to be an only child in the house. No, not at all. Oh, she's she's she's ready.

SPEAKER_01 35:28

She embraces it, she loves it. I love that for her. She loves it. We don't see her a lot either. I mean, she's either in her room or with her friends. And I and I just the life of a 13-year-old well, not yet. She'll be 13 this year, the end of the year. So but we're full swing cheer with her. All all the all the things that are that are happening.

SPEAKER_00 35:50

So there's just a lot with going back to school. We are in full dance mode. We are on three dance teams. Oh. Well, two dance teams in one studio. That that hurts my heart for you. Yeah, it's a lot. That's so much.

SPEAKER_01 36:04

It's a lot. Like it stresses me out. Well, we'll see how I do.

SPEAKER_00 36:09

Yeah, plus a wedding. Let's well, you know what, honestly, let's just add all the like so that when I tell you that like the summer's been like weird things, we just haven't experienced as a family before we're doing all the things. Yeah. I will say, one of the things in coming back for season three, yes, which is what we will be coming back. Yeah, next time. Sometime, sometime in September. We're coming back in September, full time back to being weekly. Yes. I one of the things I really want to touch on is like, because I'm not doing it well right now, is just kind of finding my my quiet time again. Oh. I'm not I'm not excelling in this, right? This summer.

SPEAKER_01 36:48

Quiet time with God or just quiet time in general?

SPEAKER_00 36:51

All of the above. All of the above, okay. There is no quiet time. I mean, like, because there's no school, like summer, I think, is always just chaotic. I've been sleeping in, I have not gotten up. Because I'm not, because normally I'm I'm getting kids up. I'm doing the things. It was really easy to be in the routine. Yeah. And I am not. And there was something that I saw in I'm still doing my Bible app every day, but I mean, like, I'm not doing, I'm not dedicated with my time and I miss it, and I'm and I totally feel convicted about it. But I did, I was reading in my Bible app one of the, I don't know, sometime in the last few weeks, and it was just like, you know, how all in am I right now? About 10%. And I'm like, there's so many new things right now that I feel like I'm all in on. I'm all in on wedding, I'm all in on back to school, I'm all in on these things, but I'm like, am I living all in for Jesus right now? And it really convicted me. And I really thought about it in the last 24 hours. And it's not just being like all in in my quiet time. It's like being just I'm I feel like I this summer I went on autopilot. There's so much happening that I'm in autopilot just making things happen. Yeah. And I don't I don't love that version of myself. No. It's it's time for a reset. It is. I am very happy to be going back to routine. I'm good with routine. I'm good when I know what's happening.

SPEAKER_01 38:34

Like I love summer, but towards the end of summer, I'm like, okay, I'm done. Yeah. I need everyone to be in their normal. Not that I want my kids to be gone, because I I love I love having everyone home. Like that's gonna hurt when everyone is gone. But it's also going back to a routine in general. Yeah. Yeah. So the only thing that I'm really, really going to be sad about is that Doug has definitely been helping out with dinners this summer because he's home. And so it has been wonderful that when I come home, like dinner's either done already or it's in the process, or he's Oh, but not only is he back to work in a few, you know, like he's back to coaching. Like he's like, I mean, he's been back to coaching this whole summer, but it's a bit in the morning.

SPEAKER_00 39:19

But yes, but I mean now it'll be like now it'll be after school.

SPEAKER_01 39:22

So now I won't I won't see him ever. It will feel like that for us for a now I'm already thinking, but then again, dinners are a lot easier when it's just three of us. True. It's more like girl dinner. Girl dinner. Love girl dinner. I had girl dinner the other day. It was like some chips. I think it was some chips, some almonds. Okay. And I forget, I think I like hit a piece of turkey, maybe. Like just like the most random things just that I could find is what it is. I wasn't, yeah. Everyone was gone, and I'm like, well, I'm not gonna make a dinner.

SPEAKER_00 40:02

I found a gluten-free bread that doesn't taste like garbage. That's so hard. That doesn't like also stick to the your mouth. I can't say it tastes like regular bread. I'm too far back, too far removed from regular bread, but I'm like, this is one that's like it's like soft enough to eat a sandwich. Normally, like has to be toasted.

SPEAKER_01 40:18

Oh, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 40:19

And so I've been really enjoying the sandwiches recently. And so anytime that like there's nobody around, I'm like, I'm making myself a turkey sandwich. I'm having a tuna sandwich. I'm like, I'm like, I don't like, I'm just all about the sandwiches right now. It's just not not a lecture I've had the last what five, six years.

SPEAKER_01 40:33

I had a BLT the other day. Oh, it was so good. But I have not gone to a farmer's market yet where to get fresh tomatoes because I love fresh tomatoes from the farm. And now I need now that I'm talking about it, I'm like, oh, it's Saturday to do that. I bet there's one open somewhere around here that I could go to. I went to research. Oh, I'm sure. Because now I went up now. It's on Wednesdays. On Wednesdays, oh yeah, and it's it's wonderful. Highly recommend it. It's wonderful.

SPEAKER_00 41:02

Okay. It's a great place. We've got a on 42, there's a like a tomato stand that's every weekend.

SPEAKER_01 41:07

Oh, nice. I'm not going all the way out there.

SPEAKER_00 41:09

It's so far. I mean, it's just like like you just pull off the road. Oh, okay. I know. And maybe it's far for you, but I mean like for yes, for me it's Doc and Brenda's. I mean, it's like I think that's what it's called. Okay. But it's like always, yeah, it's like every weekend. It's on the weeknights, but I mean, like, I mean, there's always just I mean, like when it's set up, like there's never not a line. This is what happens when our summers happen.

SPEAKER_01 41:29

Random things.

SPEAKER_00 41:29

Okay, sorry. Nobody cares about tomatoes. Maybe you do. If you're local, maybe you really care about them. I do. Well, I'm glad you care. Thanks. I'd like a fried green tomato. Ooh. That sounds good.

SPEAKER_01 41:40

Sounds good. I don't think even though today was not a very good weight loss day, so I'm very sad. But even though on the days that when I normally weigh in, I I I this like the day that I really splurge and and feed all my cravings. Because I'm like, okay, well's weighing. I it's not it wasn't bad. I lost this a doctor's office visit for this specific weight. Okay. So I lost zero weight. Same. So I I from last month to this month on the exact same.

SPEAKER_00 42:07

But you know what? Your body keeps shifting and changing.

SPEAKER_01 42:09

Well, body fat, I'm down almost two percent body fat. So then I'm like, okay, at least I at least my body fat went down. But which of course my the you know, the practitioner was like, well, that's what we want to see. Yeah. Is the body fat going down? Like, yes, I, you know, frustrated with the weight, but honestly. And then I finally got my blood work done.

unknown 42:34

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 42:35

So we're gonna see how my blood work is. All right, I need to make an appointment to do that too. It's been years, three years since I've done blood work, three or two, I can't remember. It's been a while. So it it was definitely needed to see where I am and where all of my yeah. Where all of it is I need to do it too.

SPEAKER_00 42:54

I'll put that on my list. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 42:59

Yeah, yeah, she knows. You're never in the never gonna happen. Like number 99.

SPEAKER_00 43:04

No, I need to I the truth is I need to find a I I I need to find a new doctor. Okay. So that's the the caveat here. I for us.

SPEAKER_01 43:14

Yeah. So I'm also trying a new a new person to clean our house. And I know that sounds really bougie. And I'm jealous. I But we put it we that it's something that we put in our budget because I just I don't have the time, n nor do I love cleaning the house. Like I'm not a person who loves cleaning. I wish I was. I'm not either. And I and so it was something that, you know, with me working, Doug working, we both agreed upon to put in our budget. And our one that we've had the how it's just been so sad. Like where I'm cleaning the toilets after they clean. Oh, that's like I'm paying I'm paying a lot of money. So I have to I hate firing people. Yeah. But I'm so I'm trying a new one. She's but not till September. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 44:06

There was a season of life where we had a housekeeper and just came like I think she did like a deep clean like once a month. We do we do every other week. So twice a month. I mean I could have used it.

SPEAKER_01 44:20

And you know, everyone she does it's it that's what it's for, like the deep clean. Yeah. Like just I like we'll do our own laundry, we can do all of all of the basics, but I just need someone baseboards, mopping floors, really cleaning toilets, all that stuff.

SPEAKER_00 44:39

It's not my season to hire that out.

SPEAKER_01 44:41

Well, you have a wedding. It also should be my season where I should step it up more, but and honestly, when I when I left my job last year, I had to stop all services because I we just couldn't afford it. So I will say it's in seasons, depending on where we are in seasons of when I can have it and when I can't.

SPEAKER_00 44:58

Yeah, I get it. Well, I mean, there's seasons for everything.

SPEAKER_01 45:02

I'm not gonna sing. I totally wanted to sing.

SPEAKER_00 45:05

Yes. Well, not only is there okay, so there's a season for everything. We have a season three coming up. Whoa, look at that transition. Love it. We are going to so this is this is gonna be our last summer update. This is when we come back, you'll you'll get us weekly again. I know. And hopefully we're gonna have some more guests coming on. We're gonna we will have more guests. We're we're trying to line more people up. We may bring people back that we've had because with everybody that we've had on, there's always requests to bring them all back. Yes, because they want to hear more. And yeah, I'm excited to get back in the rhythms and routines. And you guys can hold me accountable in a few weeks if I've done anything. Oh, I cannot wait. Just add it to your list.

SPEAKER_01 45:51

See if you remember. I know I won't. I couldn't even remember words before. I can't remember words. We'll get there.

SPEAKER_00 45:58

We'll get there. Well, happy summer. I know, happy summer. I miss you. Fall's coming soon, miss you too. I'm happy to catch up. We're happy to catch up with you guys. Even though we don't uh hear back from you like live, we always get texts from you all and little messages.

SPEAKER_01 46:12

And so it feels like we're all catching up together. I know. And in a couple weeks, your wedding plans will definitely even be have changed already. Of like more stuff being okay. You're looking at me like please don't talk to me about the wedding.

SPEAKER_00 46:26

No, no, no. I just started thinking about when you said that, I was like, I have to go try a dress on.

SPEAKER_01 46:31

Oh can I just tell you one more quick story? But okay, also don't forget, I would like to see. So if you can put them up on ours.

SPEAKER_00 46:37

Oh, yes, I will. I will. So we can also see I'll add them up there. That'd be fantastic.

SPEAKER_01 46:42

So the dresses.

SPEAKER_00 46:43

I'm gonna try more on today, so maybe there'll be more to add to it.

SPEAKER_01 46:46

Oh, yay. Maybe the one, the favorite one that from last time put reposted that picture plus some more. What can I guess, please?

SPEAKER_00 46:52

Tell you an experience I had about okay. A couple weeks ago, my friend bought a car. Her brother is a car salesman up here. Okay. Okay. So she lives in Florida. The car was in Lexington. So I drove it down to her. A couple of weeks ago. Yes. Wowzers. Look at this. My first road trip I've ever done by myself. Okay. Longest I've ever driven by myself. I mean, obviously I've taken lots of road trips, but I mean, generally, you drive straight through. I drove straight through. So I drove there and then I flew back home. Okay. So she was like, hey, I want to take you out on the boat while you're here. Oh, fine. And I was like, yeah, that sounds great. I mean, when you live by the beach in the ocean, let's do it, right? Let's go on a boat. And so I was like, I don't have a swimsuit. And she goes, You don't have any, you don't have you don't have any old swimsuits. And I was like, girl, you haven't seen me in a long time. Like, those aren't gonna fit. Okay. They just they you'd see everything. Yeah. It would just be you would just it would not be good. It would not be good. Okay. So I was like, so Abby's like, mom, you could wear one of mine. My child who's like a size zero, size two. And she was like, I think it's gonna fit you. I think it's gonna fit you. And I'm like, I don't think so. But to humor her, I try and put on this small swimsuit. Can I? I it I rip stitches for sure, but I got it on. Okay. Uh-huh. I got it on. It was the one piece I was like, but honey, I can't wear this. But I, you know what? You made me feel good. At least I got in it, but this isn't gonna work. So then I'm like, maybe Elena has an old swimsuit, you know. So I go downstairs and like look through her stuff, and she's got a couple medium swimsuits, and I was like, I think this will work. So then I get it on, I look in the mirror, and it doesn't strike me as anything other than like, man, this feels good. Like I'm on, I'm like, I feel like putting a little pair of shorts over it. I would feel confident going out. It was red, okay? Yeah. And I go out on that boat and I'm like so proud of myself. Yes. I'm so proud. I'm like, look at you, girl. You're wearing a swimsuit. Uh-huh. You never wear a swimsuit. Like, there's been many, many summers I've not gotten in a swimsuit once. And even if I did, I'm wearing a massive cover-up. I am like so proud of myself. Okay. I'm smiling on the boat. I'm like, this it's this feels nice. Like, this feels good. Like I could be a boat girl. I could be, I could be a someone who goes to the public pool. Yes. You know, I'm, you know, so proud, right? And she's like, we have to take pictures. You know, like we never take pictures of ourselves. I was like, ah, it's, you know, like the whole thing. And I'm, like I said, so proud. So we decide to go out later that night, and I was like, oh, hey, like, did any of the pictures turn out? Yeah. Girl. Just hold, please. Hold, please. You need a live reaction for that.

SPEAKER_01 49:54

Oh, okay. I can now wait. I'm actually gonna see. Steph is getting up right now. She's going to her phone. She is opening up her phone app and opening up pictures. I'm giving a live commentary of what's happening.

SPEAKER_00 50:09

I will post this in the kind of preachy stories at some point. This will not be live on the grid forever, but I will let you all see this. So when we post.

SPEAKER_01 50:20

Getting my mic. I am nervous. I don't know what to expect. I hold on. I need to get glasses. I need I need full, full vision on this. Full vision on this. Oh goodness gracious. I am looking at you with my glasses on. I am ready. You are Okay.

SPEAKER_00 50:44

Alright. So right. Okay, wait a second. Hold on. Okay. Okay. I'm gonna just be so transparent. I was like, okay, I'm gonna I also wear shorts, so this is so vulnerable to show. We see like all the extra skin on my legs. It's not great. Okay, this is not the picture I want to show you. This is not the one that like called attention to you. This is you look weird. I am like this is the media. I don't understand. Okay, all right. I were upset because you look fantastic. This is what I thought too. I took a picture in a mirror and I was pleased, okay? Now, here's what ends up happening. We take a picture together. What's happened to my boobs? Where did your boobs it is? She has normal boobs. They're up there, they're doing their job. I look like I'm smuggling two tube socks in that swimsuit. They just they're they just keep going. They just keep going.

SPEAKER_01 51:51

I'm gonna post this later. We call that w my friends and I, because that's what happens, it call pancakes. Oh, I just they just flatten out.

SPEAKER_00 52:00

What kind of boob blindness did I have that I didn't see? But that didn't look like that in the first picture. It did. It actually did. No, it did not. It did, it did, and now when you go back and see it, you'll be like, oh, it actually did exist. So what we're saying is you need a I need a full support swimsuit up top, is what I'm saying. Yes. So I we see this and we are laughing. And like the first thing that comes to my mind is I can melt a stick of butter in those. And she was like, that's the weirdest measurement tool anybody's ever used. And she was like, I'm thinking of like you're smuggling two like subway footlungs in there. And I'm like, that could be. So then I I'm laughing, and my mom, I'm trying to arrange it because I'm taking a flight back home. So I'm trying to arrange with my mom like a ride as we're still joking making jokes about this. I was like, mom, I gotta show you this picture. My mom starts laughing hysterically, and she's dying. And I was like, lost a lot of weight in your boots. I know. And that's just what happens. It's but it's but I I have boob blindness. I didn't know. I didn't know. You know, people have blush blindness. Like I had lash blindness at one point. I used to get lash extensions. I oh yes, they were a little spidery. I didn't know. Oh, I just didn't know. Yeah. But I did. So I've got boob blindness. I show this picture to my mom. She starts laughing hysterically. And I was like, okay, I'm like, we okay, all aside, we gotta figure out this ride thing. I'm like, but if you need me to like, if it's too late, like I can get an Uber. And Leanne goes, maybe you should get a boober. And I was like, actually, I think I'd really prefer a lift. Oh my gosh. I wish we can laugh ourselves. Oh, okay. So if you're like me, gravity has gotten to you. Years. It happens. Have done years and body changes and children and weight loss, all of the above. If you have one of the above, all of the above. I just need you to just take a picture of yourself. And just laugh. And no, just to see. Yeah. Just see. Like maybe you have a chance.

SPEAKER_01 54:00

You know that you were right. We there are things that we are totally blind about until we see it. For sure. For sure.

SPEAKER_00 54:06

Yeah. I was so concentrated on the fact that I have loose skin on my thighs. That you did not even look at the boobs. I didn't even look. I didn't look at your boobs either. Now I am. But now, now I will never like if I go swimsuit shopping. You have to have something that's going to lift them. For sure. I'm thinking maybe a nice swim dress.

SPEAKER_01 54:25

Yeah. You need like the like the underwire that's going to pull them up and yeah.

SPEAKER_00 54:30

So it doesn't matter if you can fit in a small or a medium or a large. It don't matter if they're touching the floor. Nope. I gotta built those babies in. You somehow you're gonna figure it out. That makes me smile. What a way to end the show. What a way. You know, okay, let's go back to the seasons of life where it was a nice thing and you don't have the visual of my floor. All I see is red. Deflated balloons. Yes. Oh. Can you imagine if I was on Baywatch? It would have came back and smacked me in the face. Slow motion. Woo! But I didn't know because I normally wear a supportive bra, you know, but like in the context of wearing your 20-something-year-old spirits. You're gonna have to go bra shopping. They don't wear that. Oh, I'm so gonna need that. I just started bra shopping. That's a whole that's a whole different situation. That's a whole thing. Uh-huh. It's a whole different situation. All right. Well, we're gonna post some pictures. We will see you back in a couple weeks for season three, baby. Yep. All right, have a great few weeks and end of summer. We'll see you in the fall. Bye, y'all.
