Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, this is weird. I'm the one hitting record today.
It's a big job to hit the record.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
No, oh my god.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Well, we're recording in the on air studio that we
work in for KATIEWB for ones versus more of like
a production studio. But hello, welcome to I'm still fun.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Welcome.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
How was your weekend fallon? Oh, we're gonna jump right
into that. Yeah, it was pretty good. I try to
think of what I did.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
You went to a holiday bar? I did go to.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Yeah, we both went to holiday bars for then. I
went to the one out in Waconia and it was
really good. I like their food anyway. It's at Lola's
lake House and that's out my neck of the woods.
So we go there for dinner, more so in the
summer because like we're on the lake. It's really nice.
I always like the festive holiday bars. And it's harder
(00:46):
for me to find a drink though, because typically I
don't order typically cocktails on like a signature cocktail page
or restaurants because for some reason I almost always find
them too sweet or they don't have the liquors I
like in them if they're not too sweet. The one
place I've gone where I've genuinely loved every single.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Cocktail is Kolita.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Yeah, every single cock and one time I went early
on when they open, each person our table got a
different Once we got one of every cocktail and tried it,
and it was every single.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
One of them.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
But I got like kind of just basically a Cosmopolitan
because I knew, like there's probably no way can go
wrong with that. Yeah, it was good, and yeah, the
food's always good there, so it was fun festive.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Do you like tequila? I love tequila?
Speaker 1 (01:31):
O great, then I think you would also because I
went to Nicos and I went to the South Minneapolis
one because the one that's in Uptown is super booked
right now. Yeah, but also like a holiday pop up situation.
But their drinks are so good. Also, the tequila drinks
were good. My girlfriend got some kind of eggnog drink,
which I'm not an eggnogt that's Jake got was an
agnogat Yeah, and she hers was really good. She had
(01:53):
like a gingerbread cookie in it. And then my other
girlfriend got some of their mulled wine cocktail and that
was also really good. So I feel like that's a
hotspot too. But what's the place called that it's shut
down now, but the like log cabin whatever that was
in like a lot minute, No, it was. It was
a holiday pop up in Minnetaka. I don't know what
I'm talking about, Okay, Well, anyways, it's over by Fletchers,
(02:15):
I believe is where it was. But then that that
place next door to it closed down, so I think
that closed down. And when we went last year, it
was all pre made cocktails that was like thirteen dollars
and you don't get it in a cute cup or anything. Anyways,
because I comes jam packed into this tiny little cabin
and I was like, Yeah, we're definitely here for the vibes.
We're not here for the drinks, that's for sure. So
(02:35):
that's why I was excited to go to Nico's this weekend,
because we had gone to the Uptown one last year,
and I just knew that the drinks were good and
the food is always good there because.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
I love plenty of times the I always I don't
love a mes cow, but I like most tequila drinks.
And then I know the place you're talking about now
because Steve O tried to get me to go to
it last year. This is like it was kind of
close to me. He was like, Christy and I are here,
come like over. I'm like, no, I can't get a
babysitter in five minutes to.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Lines forever long. You probably could by the time we
get in.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
And I was like, I'm gonna pass. But yeah, they
made the whole menu. If they did it, Nico's the
whole menu food wise, I think it's their regular menu,
but they changed it so it's all Christmas theme names
for it, which thought was a nice little touch.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Also, yeah, they just changed a bunch of the drinks
to be named because they have a ton of margarita's
there since it's a taco place, and so all the
drinks were named something fun like Sleigh Queen or Saint
Nico or something like that.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Fun.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
But yeah, so the drink menu super good. The food
there is also really good. I have never had anything
there that I just like, so it was actually an enjoyable,
like chill holiday pop up bar, not like crammed where
you couldn't move and that kind of situation and great food.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
So that was fun for us. That's super nice.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
I have one of those weeks this week where I
actually have off of the Jason Show every day but
Wednesday okay, and then I have Thursday and Friday off
both shows. So I'm like, been excited for this week,
but I've already basically filled every moment.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
What do you think?
Speaker 3 (04:05):
What do you mean like holiday stuff or what just
stuff in general? Like today, I had an event seven
am to nine am. Then I got home and Jake
was like, can you take Dolly to the vet because
she needs like a shot to get groomed tomorrow, And
I'm like yes, But then by the time I got
back from that, I basically had to come here for
our podcast. Then tomorrow she's gonna have to be grooms
I'm probably going to drop her off, and I'm like
(04:27):
my little windows of like where I was so excited
to have time and I have a haircut at noon
now I added that in I had one basically all year,
So it's but I'm excited to have time off during
the holidays. Man, I cannot wait to just have nothing
to do all day. Yeah, looking forward to it.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
So I feel like I was like that last year
going into the holidays, and then when it came around,
I feel like I didn't because I have the issue
of like, oh, I can't be lazy. I need to
be productive, you know, But like I feel like I
really felt like I had wasted a lot of it.
So now this year, we're trying to figure out if
we want to like take the van somewhere or go
(05:04):
on a snowboarding trip or something. And I'm like, oh,
but like is that gonna be too much? And then
I'm like, remember last year, you were bored, Like you
got bored last year, and like, yes, I like the
mental break of things, but like I still like to
do things right during my free time. So yeah, we
haven't figured out what we're doing, but I agree. I
am sort of counting down the days for the next
two weeks got left and then I'm off starting like
(05:28):
finishing work on the twentieth, so that's the Friday, and
then off until the new year.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Yeah, I have six Jason shows left, and I have
like I don't know, eight regular shows radio shows left,
So I'm doing that countdown. But then it's not even
completely like it's bizarre because I'm off Thursday and Friday
this week, Cults off Monday and Tuesday next week, so
(05:52):
we only have together a few shows yeah left, But anyway,
I don't know if you're doing the countdown or if
you go somewhere for the holidays. And I was talking
to a moment early they go to like Arizona, you know,
and lot of people go warmer spots.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
But yeah, I feel like we traveled enough this year.
We're good.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Yeah, we can hang out around the place and the
Twin Cities. Also, I used to hate it as a
kid when you'd open your presence and then have to
go travel somewhere and you're not just want to play
with my presence, man, So I don't want to do
that to Alli in Dylan. I want them to like
sit around and play with their stuff that they got
for Christmas.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
I already have like most of the presents that I
need to get wrapped in under the tree because I'm crazy,
you know, Like I used to wait till Christmas Eve
or the day before Christmas Eve to wrap everything, and
now I'm like, I want the presence wrapped because I
like the esthetic of the tree or whatever. So Andrew's
already sniffing around. Oh gosh, and he listens to this.
(06:44):
Otherwise I was going to give you a little hint
of something, but I feel like he already knows one
of his presents, so I'm kind of like, stop going
by your pens, you a little bitch, like stay away.
And he's also the type of person that I am
and Andrew in this scenario, I know you are, because
he's also the type of person that like, he'll have
a present for me for my birthday or whatever it is,
and he'd be like, what do you think it is?
(07:05):
Do you want to open an out? And I'm like,
can you not? Like, let's just wait. And so anyways,
I am happy that the presents are under there already
because we'll definitely be going back to Wisconsin for Christmas,
and I do like the thought of us waking up
at our house and opening the presents together, and we
won't be doing that, like I don't know, maybe we'll
(07:26):
open home early just so we can do it at
our house together and not travel with presents for each other.
But yeah, I'm I'm looking very much forward to Christmas. However,
I am Andrew, and I have been starting to meet
with this finance guy and we're just doing a lot
of I don't know, new to me things with our
money outside of your roth Ira and your four oh
one K and stuff. And we're getting real strict with
(07:49):
our budget. We are nailing down every single penny that
we spend in the year, which includes presents. So I'm like, hey,
I'm gonna pull back quite a bit this year for
Christmas because I feel like I go a little bit
crazy for Andrew a lot of times, and then honestly,
on the Morning Show, I spend more on the Morning
Show half the time than I do, like I don't
even get my sister's presence right, So I kind of
set some boundaries this year with all of that. But
(08:13):
so I'm like excited for Christmas. However, now my sister
just added in another game that we're apparently going to
be playing where we have to bring three small presents.
One can just be like a white elephant something around
your house, and then the other two should be like
five to ten dollars. And you know what, my cheap
ass did. I found something that was like, oh my god,
and I was like, this looks like it was five put.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
It in there.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
And then and then when Target had their little deal
going out with the gift guards, They're like, well, how
much do you want? And I go put eight dollars
on it, because then it was discounted a little bit,
and you add in the three dollar candle thing I got,
and now I'm at like ten dollars totals. I feel
like total. I did spend the amount, but we already
also do like a twenty five dollars gift exchange thing,
(08:54):
and I'm like, I'm trying to see money right now?
Are we adding these things? Then?
Speaker 3 (08:58):
I should probably you that are about by, But I just
have like an auto amount that comes out every single
month that goes straight into our investment accounts, which, by
the way, if you're listening and you are like, I
need to do that, but I never have. It's intimidated.
It's very intimidating. I was very scared. I don't like
talking about numbers. It's very boring to me. But you
don't have to have like a bazillion dollars saved to
(09:20):
start investing.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
You don't.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
You can have little bits taken out. And I think
it's really important women are still so far behind men
in investing because for in real estate, well we have
in our like way ahead in real estate lately in finances,
and because we are just so were we started off
at such a disadvantage in life of basically what year
(09:43):
was it when women could actually start even a savings
account in their own name? Right, Yeah, so we're we're
catching up, but it and you know, it's important to
do that stuff for yourself and for your future. So
don't let it intimidate you.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yeah, don't even though, like I don't know, I think
it's intimidating. And someone helps like explain certain things. But
also you can do like research on your own, which
I know nobody wants to do, but I do. And
also there's so many like quote unquote finance gurus out
there that you're.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Like, well, who do I believe? Who is doing it right?
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Because like even the person that we're working with, like
I trust him based off of Andrew's recommendation of his
clients working with this person, and I'm still learning how
much I trust him and what we're like doing and
stuff like it's a process.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Yeah, I don't I don't know what who your guy
works for, but I will say it is good too,
especially if you're just starting out and you're nervous if
you don't have like a strong recommendation from someone you
truly truly trust, because this is your money, it is
I would say, look at like the bigger companies that
you've heard of, they're going to have obviously they're going
to be at least moderately reputable, you know, so for sure?
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Yeah uh?
Speaker 1 (10:49):
And then speaking of holiday stuff, we are coming over
to your house, and by we, I mean myself and Tina.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
I know that holiday and it's actually, for like the
first time in a million years, free on a streating service.
Almost every year Jake and I have to like rent
it or buy it, which is so weird, but it's
actually free, thank god. If it isn't, I will be
charging you both however much it costs to rent it,
to add that to your budget. I feelink that's unfair
because you invited us over, so I assume that that
mean you had it on DVD at least.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Who is it.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
I don't have a DVD player. I do actually think
I have the DVD somewhere. But I last thing I
do too, I think I have the DV Yeah, I
do not have a function. I remember one year we
were Cable went out and we were like, well, what
do we do with our lives?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
How do we entertain our child? You know, very adult things?
Speaker 3 (11:33):
And I think we ended up finding the DVD player,
but we could never find the remote that went with it,
so we do have one somewhere. But we're debating on
if I should prepare a meal or if we should
order food, and I don't know, maybe we should just
order food, but also I don't know, going back and
forth on it. Jenny's going to make cookies and I
do like that, I know.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
I do, however, need to get myself some because I
wanted to make like Christmas cutouts, and I know everyone
makes cutouts around the time of the year, but I
swear that my mom's recipe is just like very top notch,
and I've never made them myself, so I can't promise
it'll be great, but I think they will. And I
went to Target yesterday and they had no Christmas cutout
things cutters whatever they're called. And so I'm like on
(12:11):
Facebook Marketplace last night and people are trying to sell
like fifty cookie cutter.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
I bet you should go somewhere like Michael's or hobby Lobby.
I bet you that would be like a good spot
to get that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
I honestly was debating asking Dave if he could ask
Susan for to borrow hers because I feel like they
have everything.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
I have somebody.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
I mean, I have some that I could bring as
long as you bring them back Saturday because we're doing
cookie Sunday.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
That would work okay, because I don't know if I'll
ever make them again. And I was like, oh, it'd
be fun to do like a cookie thing with. I
don't have a ton, but I have a few. I
only want like the basics. Are they Christmas themed?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Okay? I want like a tree? You got that? I
don't know that I have a tree's a star? I
think Santa. I have some. I know I have a
mittened What do you have my yashs like the staples
of Christmas cookie cut out?
Speaker 3 (13:01):
No, I can't remember. I have to go look when
I get home. Wat y'all on me have like a
heart in a Minnesota state. I know I have cats
and dogs, but I'm pretty sure I have Christmas once.
I want them to be like easy enough to frost.
I don't want it to be like where I have
to do a bunch of different colors on one.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Do you know what I mean? Yeah? Because I feel
like the Santas. Usually you gotta have red and white
and then it's like, where do you put the red
in the white?
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Yeah? So anyways, I'm.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Saving the cookies I want to make every year. I
will do the peanut butter blossoms because those are Jake's favorite,
and honestly, I don't like a peanut butter cookie, but
I like those because of the kiss. But I've been
saving some bars and some cookies that I'm gonna try
new this year.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Okay, in addition to sugar cookies. I think you gave
me a little bag of cookies.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Last year, I want to say, and I'm gonna do
just like some bark this year too. I bought a
bunch of white milk chocolate to melt and a bunch
of shit to pour in it.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
I can already tell that my body is hating me
because Andrew bought a bunch of chocolate to put in
this little like reindeer candy dish we have, and of
course we can't control our ourselves. It's like the only
snack we have in the house half the time, and
so we've both been eating like chocolate, and I can
tell it's messing with my stomach already, which is always
what happens every year with my Mom's peanut butter balls
(14:10):
where the chocolate gets to me, and I like feel awful,
like I've worked out pretty hard the last few days.
Today though, I had a couple of linch truffles yesterday
and now my son was like, what in the hell? Yeah,
Andrew went bougie this last time filling up that reindeer.
I was like, jeez, babe, we're gonna go broke on
the chocolates you're putting in this thing.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
They're God, they're not cheap. We gonna go broke up
the lint chocolate Reinier I got. I went.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
I bought two tins of Jingle Jangle at Trader Joe's. Already,
we're already through one. I'm like, good guy, it's bash am.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
I gonna have to get some because I'm probably going to.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Trader Joe's today. It's ten dollars for the ten and
it's worth it. It's so delicious, it's so good. I
might have to Jingle Jingle is a It's something we look.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Forward to as a family every year. Now, it's so good.
I don't know if I've had it. I know what it,
but I don't.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Know I've got it.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
M and m's tiny which are my least favorite, my
tiny little peanut butter cups, like tiny ones, chocolate covered pretzels,
chocolate covered popcorns, and then they're little Jojo cookies, chunks
of those.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Covered in chocolate.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Oh my gosh, it's I like a mix that if
it has pretzels in it, then it's not just the
pretzel it because you know, you get like your Guardetto's
or whatever, and it's like the pretzels always the least
favorite thing.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
It's not my least favorite when they're chocolate covered.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
That's what I'm saying. Like, that's why I'm saying I
would like that mix with pretzels in it. It actually
has like some blave it's all chocolate.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Some are dark summer light.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Baby.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
So how much does it cost? Ten dollars?
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (15:40):
God? For like a tin? What size is it?
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Like the size of this chlorox bottle? A normal tin,
a normal Christmas cookie tin.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Okay, see I was thinking like a popcorn tin for
a second. I was like, I could do.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
That, Jenny, What that's so fud good? You would not.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
I can't be eating chocolate this much because I can't
control myself. I'm getting pimps around my like chin over here,
and you know that is not my norm.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
So I don't like that.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Usually that's hormonal acting. Then I'm on my period, so
that could be it. Probably you're on your period again,
started yesterday? Didn't you just have it?
Speaker 2 (16:15):
N I'm on, I'm at roat, I'm a fountain. Oh
my god, I think it was like two or three
weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Right, well do you do last month? You did do
something different after the tsunami. Period was supposed to come
right well before that.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Remember I took medication to induce my period, so and
then that's.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
These are the repercussions. Now.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
I don't know what's happening. I think this is normal.
This is the only one I've had this month. Okay,
well that would be normal. But god, I swore like
two weeks ago you were like, I have a period again.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
I might have my week's are I'm out?
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:49):
In December and nobody knows what's going on. Nobody knows
tell me about it. I I like literally dream about
Christmas wish every day and I'm like, what day is it?
What day? Like? Are we are we like a few
weeks into it? Are we only a week? I don't
know everybody knows how far I do feel like Christmas
should only be a week away, and it's.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Weeks Okaya is yesterday?
Speaker 3 (17:11):
The elf on the shelf left to eighteen days until Christmas. Note,
let me tell you something that I don't envy of
you parents. I don't do difficult ones. There are people
who spend a lot of money, buy outfit really commit. Yeah,
I have our elf really.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Just like.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Is a budget friendly elf. She does not go to
the North Pole and spend all of her money on stuff.
She looks around the house and she's like, that be
a fun little thing. So you got a frugal elf,
A frugal elf. Yeah, it's nice that you got one
of those. I feel like some elves are just like
real bougie with it. She did bring all of some
little many donuts, like those little powdered sugar ones.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
But that's I think all she's Those are my favorite,
so good god. It's like road trip snacks. Those will,
hands down always be in my road trip snacks.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
I never get them, but if someone else has them,
I'll pound them right.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
And it's like they're the type that you can't stop
once you started, You're like, Okay, I'll have two, and
then you're like, well, what's two more?
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Well, what's the whole bag? Yeah, that's a lot at
that point. But yeah, I'm on the same page as
you for sure.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Here. I did get a DM from someone and I
sent it to myself in an email. Hopefully I did
it correctly that I would like to read and they
need a little bit of help. Okay, it says fallin
Jenny with a bunch of exclamation points. That's why I
yelled okay, I love you guys and all that you
bring to my everyday routine. I'm writing in in need
of some advice. So for starters, I graduated college with
(18:41):
close friends and some acquaintances that I'm friendly with. I
met one of my best friends in college who I
see regularly. However, along with this girl I consider a bestie,
let's call her Joanna, also includes four of the girls
in this friend group.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Let me explain.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
I met these four girls through Joanna, and as college
went on, we be came roommates, hung out quite a bit,
and once we all graduated, we distanced each other, trying
to figure ourselves out. Ever since that year, I've felt
a feeling of not belonging in this friend group anymore.
When we did get together, there'd always be lots of
shit talking, being insensitive to other people and super judgmental
(19:17):
talking about the same stories about people and memories and
all that I'm a part of their group message in
Snapchat and Instagram chain and as I have all of
them muted and respond minimally, I wish I could put
more distance between this group and myself and just have
a friendship with Joanna, since I don't think it's a
healthy front group. It's different when it's one on one,
and I've grown to love smaller groups unless everyone's personalities
(19:40):
are in sync. This college group all have too big
of personalities where everyone wants the spotlight. I know that
my feelings are valid since I don't feel this way
and any other groups of friends that I have, but
I am also a people pleaser and I don't like confrontation.
I've put a lot of distance between the four girls
that I don't consider close, but because Joanna is very
good friends with them, I feel like it's really hard
(20:01):
to detach myself from them since she adores them, and
it's difficult when it comes to social settings and celebrations.
So these healthy boundaries that I set, but I cannot
figure out how to do this.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
She might have misspoke there. I'm not sure what she
was trying to say.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
This is a I dread going to hang out with them,
and I feel drained when leaving the hangout type of situation.
I know it's not great, So I'm trying to be
completely positive on my decision and how I go about this,
because I don't want to keep coming back in and
leaving the friend group. I wish we could all just
naturally get involved in our own lives and be busy
and maybe see each other once a year. But they
literally message the friend group every day, and some with something.
(20:40):
I have cut out friendships that no longer stuited me
in the past, but this seems a little more gray area,
easier said than done right now, I only just found
if it's an individual message to me, please help. So
I think she's asking, like, how to set boundaries with
this friend group while still remaining friends with Joanna.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Yeah, is what I'm getting out of this. I feel
like you've done the more than me, so maybe you
have more advice.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Yeah, I mean I have very much like cut certain
people out of my life and then like have been
scared that I wouldn't be friends with the other people
that we were all associated with, and that's usually not
the case. I was still friends with the people that
I wanted to be friends with, and not friends with
the people I didn't want to. So I think you
just you know, I don't think it doesn't sound like
(21:23):
any of them did you dirty? And anyway, it just
sounds like you have grown in a different way. Yeah, yeah,
I would say grown up. Yes, So I would say,
just like ask Joanna to hang out and like just
have you guys be in it, and then like remove
yourself from the group chats if you want, because like
who cares?
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Yeah, if you're not even responding.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
I mean, I realistically, you know that if that's the
type of people they are, they're probably going to talk
crap about you and be like what did we do?
And what's her deal? And they probably ask Joanna. If
Joanna is like good people like you say, then I
think she'll be like, I don't know, Maybe she doesn't know.
Maybe you can explain it to her and maybe she'll
(22:05):
even agree with you, even though you say she adores them.
But maybe don't bring it up or explain it unless
she asks you, because then it's almost like you're starting
to gossip, which you don't really like. So maybe, yeah,
like Jenny said, just invite her to do solo things.
The issue with that is you are gonna have to
be prepared for her to be like, oh, yeah, should
(22:26):
we like text the group and see if they want
to go, And you're gonna have to be like I
was hoping it could just be the two of us.
Maybe you could say it like warded, like, hey, I
was thinking the two of us could go grab so
that it doesn't leave it open ended to them by
the other people in the group. Yeah, and then she
may eventually figure it out. Like Jenny said, it sounds
(22:47):
like you are good at setting boundaries with the group
text because you have all muted. But yeah, you do
look at your phone and see curiosity gets you you
look through it.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
It's no fun to be around people who just tak
crap all the time and are super judgmental. Really is draining,
and you might not like realize that until you're a
little bit older. But like, I have definitely been in
situations where I like couldn't be around certain people anymore,
because it's just not who I am as a person
to just constantly talk crap.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
So I just like wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Respond to people on text sometimes, and then then I
look like I'm the bitch, right and I'm like, no,
you're talking shit about someone and I don't want to partake,
so leave me out of it.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Yeah. So yeah, it's just I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Negative energy is what I'm getting from the other girls,
and you shouldn't have that in your life. So hopefully
you can still be friends with Joanna and not have that.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
I don't know how old you are, but I am
if it's like your few years your moved from college.
It is so surprising to me that your group still
texts every single day. I know, that's actually like so
surprising to me because my good college friends.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
There are three of us.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
We text a little bit more right now because Abby
got engaged, but realistically I would, I don't know, maybe
text Abby every three weeks, maybe more if there was
something big going on.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
That's actually surprising to me. If you know, I was
gonna say, I don't know it for you because you
don't want that. Yeah, I don't have any group chats honestly,
that are very frequent. It's like a lot of memes
sent back and forth on like Instagram in a couple things,
but not even every day. The only frequent group chat
I have is Jake's siblings. Yeah, they send something every
(24:30):
single day. It's always just funny back and forth, funny
stuff that makes me laugh.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Yeah. Well, I don't know. Hopefully that'll help you out
a little bit, but nos. Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
I feel like it's I have a million things I
want to talk about, and then I can't think of
a single thing, Like, my thoughts are not organized today.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
I had to spend like five to ten hours last
week transferring my U of M email to a basic
Gmail because they were taking my U of M email
all away from you.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Finally, how dare they take it away from you?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
And let me tell you that is one of the
most tedious things to change emails.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Really.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Everything is associated to your email. Yeah, everything, your Venmo,
your social media accounts, your bank accounts, you're my chart,
like absolutely anything that you have subscription to or you
have to log into it is associated.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
To your email.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
The only thing I have associated to my college email
is Facebook. But I have two emails on there, not
just my college one, in case that ever happened. I
haven't logged into my college email in like years and years.
I don't know if it still exists.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Honestly, I just never started a personal one after college
because I had just always used my college one. So anyways,
they took it away, and as I'm going through my
Google drive, I stumbled upon all of these random things
that I had saved in there from when I started
on the show, and so there were so many clips
of just random bits and I'd be like, what is this.
I don't even know what this is, like whatever it
(25:54):
was titled, but there were so many clips, and I
don't know why I had these specifically, because it'd be
soundbites of you, Dave and Steve, and I would always
put these promos together and where it'd be funny clips
of you guys, but I had to like go back
and listen to yours because I just there were so
many funny ones that I remember, but like I needed
to hear them again. And one of my favorites, and
I don't know the context of it, it was something
(26:15):
like when you, oh God, when you fart, do you
shit yourself or something like that. No, you didn't say shit, obviously,
yeah you said shart. But it was so funny. And
I remember putting this promo together with that clip and
Tina being in my studio with me, and I was
crying laughing, and I think she was like, Jenny, it's
not that funny, and I was like, it is so funny,
(26:36):
like whatever it was. So I heard that clip over
the weekend and I wanted to play it for you,
but honestly, my email's so like messed up with trying
to transfer all this stuff over. I don't know where
it is right now, but.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
I do not remember them. I'man.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
The only shart I truly remember is when Dave sharded
himself as before a staff meeting.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
No one I will always remember, probably.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
And I think that that is the one story that
I will also forever remember as like crying laughing as.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
You told it on the radio that day because I
could not and it was so annoyed with me.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
I said, so funny, it was so funny. I mean,
do you want to tell the cliff notes of the story.
He's told it himself now at this point. Yeah, so
he basely an embarrassed.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
We had a staff meeting and I didn't know anything,
and then like I'm gonna get details wrong. But when
we left the staff meeting and we go it was
just he and I walked to the elevator together and
he was like, hey, do I stink or whatever?
Speaker 2 (27:30):
And I was like what, no, and he was like, oh,
thank god.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
He was like, right before that staff meeting, I sharded
myself and he said that he went over to the
back of the room like it was this conference room
and sat at the end of the table where no
one was at and he said as soon as he did,
like someone came like hey Dave and sat right next
to him or something, and he was just like, oh
my god. And the whole meeting he was so stressed out.
He smelled b like crap. But it was very it
(27:54):
was funnier, and it was like obviously it was so funny.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
I think one of the funny parts was the fact
that he was trying to go to the bathroom to
clean himself up. But then Rich was like, Dave, we're
in here, because like he thought Dan was going to the.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Wrong room and he didn't want it to be so late.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
He was like, well, yeah, okay, I'll come. But then
the other one was that he was next to Mike
the old web guy. Yes, and he felt like Mike
kept scooting away from him, so he thought he smelled
really bad.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
My that that DAEs ring a bell. Now, I'm like,
my memory gets worse and worse every day. But yeah,
there'll be definitely certain moments like that that stick out
that make me laugh quite a bit.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
If I heard it, make me laugh a lot for sure.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Yeah. Well, since I'm on the side, I can see
the time right now, we're kind of at time. But
next next week's going to be our last episode of
twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
That's crazy. Should we do something crazy, something wild?
Speaker 3 (28:45):
Maybe we should do like a little US yes, topless
topless podcast, no video elements, sorry, so that'll be removed
very quickly, and then we will. Oh, I tell you
that I tried the Do you see that viral Turkish
pasta going around on?
Speaker 1 (29:02):
I have not. No.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Anna Paul is a sex worker and I follow her
and I love her. She's like Australian or something. She's
very funny and like eats all the time, and she
talks very fast and has long videos and.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
She's the one that like a year.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Or two ago, was like, I follow this sex worker
or whatever, and Jake was like, what's or He's like,
ooh gross, what's her name? And we laughed like he
could go look her up, but he acted like he
was appalled. But she made a Turkish pasta, and it's
like going. It's like everywhere on TikTok. It's probably even
more so on my TikTok because I looked at one
recipe of it. I made it.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
I none of us.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Hannah came over Jake's sister never have we ever had
the worst garlic breath in our lives?
Speaker 2 (29:43):
And it was okay.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Oh, I was gonna say, was it a good recipe?
Speaker 2 (29:46):
It was okay. I have maybe on the garlic prepare
it as well as she does. Yeah, but it was okay.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
So I thought you were going to say that's what
you're going to make for us on Saturday. That will
not be making okay for us. No.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
I think there was a one and done situation for me.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
So oh uh, nope. You might be any takeout, Jenny.
I don't know what's gonna happen for you. Could be Culver's, could.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Be ooh, I love calling me that butter burger hell. Yes,
all right, well, have a great week.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
If there's anything that you'd like to email us for
our final episode, you can do it fallon or final
episode of the year. Yes, good point at adwb dot com. Also,
maybe I'll do like a little ask us anything question
box we can do for the end of the year.
And yeah, have a great week.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Thank you, thanks for listen man.
Well, this is weird. I'm the one hitting record today.
It's a big job to hit the record.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
No, oh my god.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Well, we're recording in the on air studio that we
work in for KATIEWB for ones versus more of like
a production studio. But hello, welcome to I'm still fun.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Welcome.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
How was your weekend fallon? Oh, we're gonna jump right
into that. Yeah, it was pretty good. I try to
think of what I did.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
You went to a holiday bar? I did go to.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Yeah, we both went to holiday bars for then. I
went to the one out in Waconia and it was
really good. I like their food anyway. It's at Lola's
lake House and that's out my neck of the woods.
So we go there for dinner, more so in the
summer because like we're on the lake. It's really nice.
I always like the festive holiday bars. And it's harder
(00:46):
for me to find a drink though, because typically I
don't order typically cocktails on like a signature cocktail page
or restaurants because for some reason I almost always find
them too sweet or they don't have the liquors I
like in them if they're not too sweet. The one
place I've gone where I've genuinely loved every single.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Cocktail is Kolita.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Yeah, every single cock and one time I went early
on when they open, each person our table got a
different Once we got one of every cocktail and tried it,
and it was every single.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
One of them.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
But I got like kind of just basically a Cosmopolitan
because I knew, like there's probably no way can go
wrong with that. Yeah, it was good, and yeah, the
food's always good there, so it was fun festive.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Do you like tequila? I love tequila?
Speaker 1 (01:31):
O great, then I think you would also because I
went to Nicos and I went to the South Minneapolis
one because the one that's in Uptown is super booked
right now. Yeah, but also like a holiday pop up situation.
But their drinks are so good. Also, the tequila drinks
were good. My girlfriend got some kind of eggnog drink,
which I'm not an eggnogt that's Jake got was an
agnogat Yeah, and she hers was really good. She had
(01:53):
like a gingerbread cookie in it. And then my other
girlfriend got some of their mulled wine cocktail and that
was also really good. So I feel like that's a
hotspot too. But what's the place called that it's shut
down now, but the like log cabin whatever that was
in like a lot minute, No, it was. It was
a holiday pop up in Minnetaka. I don't know what
I'm talking about, Okay, Well, anyways, it's over by Fletchers,
(02:15):
I believe is where it was. But then that that
place next door to it closed down, so I think
that closed down. And when we went last year, it
was all pre made cocktails that was like thirteen dollars
and you don't get it in a cute cup or anything. Anyways,
because I comes jam packed into this tiny little cabin
and I was like, Yeah, we're definitely here for the vibes.
We're not here for the drinks, that's for sure. So
(02:35):
that's why I was excited to go to Nico's this weekend,
because we had gone to the Uptown one last year,
and I just knew that the drinks were good and
the food is always good there because.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
I love plenty of times the I always I don't
love a mes cow, but I like most tequila drinks.
And then I know the place you're talking about now
because Steve O tried to get me to go to
it last year. This is like it was kind of
close to me. He was like, Christy and I are here,
come like over. I'm like, no, I can't get a
babysitter in five minutes to.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Lines forever long. You probably could by the time we
get in.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
And I was like, I'm gonna pass. But yeah, they
made the whole menu. If they did it, Nico's the
whole menu food wise, I think it's their regular menu,
but they changed it so it's all Christmas theme names
for it, which thought was a nice little touch.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Also, yeah, they just changed a bunch of the drinks
to be named because they have a ton of margarita's
there since it's a taco place, and so all the
drinks were named something fun like Sleigh Queen or Saint
Nico or something like that.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Fun.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
But yeah, so the drink menu super good. The food
there is also really good. I have never had anything
there that I just like, so it was actually an enjoyable,
like chill holiday pop up bar, not like crammed where
you couldn't move and that kind of situation and great food.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
So that was fun for us. That's super nice.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
I have one of those weeks this week where I
actually have off of the Jason Show every day but
Wednesday okay, and then I have Thursday and Friday off
both shows. So I'm like, been excited for this week,
but I've already basically filled every moment.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
What do you think?
Speaker 3 (04:05):
What do you mean like holiday stuff or what just
stuff in general? Like today, I had an event seven
am to nine am. Then I got home and Jake
was like, can you take Dolly to the vet because
she needs like a shot to get groomed tomorrow, And
I'm like yes, But then by the time I got
back from that, I basically had to come here for
our podcast. Then tomorrow she's gonna have to be grooms
I'm probably going to drop her off, and I'm like
(04:27):
my little windows of like where I was so excited
to have time and I have a haircut at noon
now I added that in I had one basically all year,
So it's but I'm excited to have time off during
the holidays. Man, I cannot wait to just have nothing
to do all day. Yeah, looking forward to it.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
So I feel like I was like that last year
going into the holidays, and then when it came around,
I feel like I didn't because I have the issue
of like, oh, I can't be lazy. I need to
be productive, you know, But like I feel like I
really felt like I had wasted a lot of it.
So now this year, we're trying to figure out if
we want to like take the van somewhere or go
(05:04):
on a snowboarding trip or something. And I'm like, oh,
but like is that gonna be too much? And then
I'm like, remember last year, you were bored, Like you
got bored last year, and like, yes, I like the
mental break of things, but like I still like to
do things right during my free time. So yeah, we
haven't figured out what we're doing, but I agree. I
am sort of counting down the days for the next
two weeks got left and then I'm off starting like
(05:28):
finishing work on the twentieth, so that's the Friday, and
then off until the new year.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Yeah, I have six Jason shows left, and I have
like I don't know, eight regular shows radio shows left,
So I'm doing that countdown. But then it's not even
completely like it's bizarre because I'm off Thursday and Friday
this week, Cults off Monday and Tuesday next week, so
(05:52):
we only have together a few shows yeah left, But anyway,
I don't know if you're doing the countdown or if
you go somewhere for the holidays. And I was talking
to a moment early they go to like Arizona, you know,
and lot of people go warmer spots.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
But yeah, I feel like we traveled enough this year.
We're good.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Yeah, we can hang out around the place and the
Twin Cities. Also, I used to hate it as a
kid when you'd open your presence and then have to
go travel somewhere and you're not just want to play
with my presence, man, So I don't want to do
that to Alli in Dylan. I want them to like
sit around and play with their stuff that they got
for Christmas.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
I already have like most of the presents that I
need to get wrapped in under the tree because I'm crazy,
you know, Like I used to wait till Christmas Eve
or the day before Christmas Eve to wrap everything, and
now I'm like, I want the presence wrapped because I
like the esthetic of the tree or whatever. So Andrew's
already sniffing around. Oh gosh, and he listens to this.
(06:44):
Otherwise I was going to give you a little hint
of something, but I feel like he already knows one
of his presents, so I'm kind of like, stop going
by your pens, you a little bitch, like stay away.
And he's also the type of person that I am
and Andrew in this scenario, I know you are, because
he's also the type of person that like, he'll have
a present for me for my birthday or whatever it is,
and he'd be like, what do you think it is?
(07:05):
Do you want to open an out? And I'm like,
can you not? Like, let's just wait. And so anyways,
I am happy that the presents are under there already
because we'll definitely be going back to Wisconsin for Christmas,
and I do like the thought of us waking up
at our house and opening the presents together, and we
won't be doing that, like I don't know, maybe we'll
(07:26):
open home early just so we can do it at
our house together and not travel with presents for each other.
But yeah, I'm I'm looking very much forward to Christmas. However,
I am Andrew, and I have been starting to meet
with this finance guy and we're just doing a lot
of I don't know, new to me things with our
money outside of your roth Ira and your four oh
one K and stuff. And we're getting real strict with
(07:49):
our budget. We are nailing down every single penny that
we spend in the year, which includes presents. So I'm like, hey,
I'm gonna pull back quite a bit this year for
Christmas because I feel like I go a little bit
crazy for Andrew a lot of times, and then honestly,
on the Morning Show, I spend more on the Morning
Show half the time than I do, like I don't
even get my sister's presence right, So I kind of
set some boundaries this year with all of that. But
(08:13):
so I'm like excited for Christmas. However, now my sister
just added in another game that we're apparently going to
be playing where we have to bring three small presents.
One can just be like a white elephant something around
your house, and then the other two should be like
five to ten dollars. And you know what, my cheap
ass did. I found something that was like, oh my god,
and I was like, this looks like it was five put.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
It in there.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
And then and then when Target had their little deal
going out with the gift guards, They're like, well, how
much do you want? And I go put eight dollars
on it, because then it was discounted a little bit,
and you add in the three dollar candle thing I got,
and now I'm at like ten dollars totals. I feel
like total. I did spend the amount, but we already
also do like a twenty five dollars gift exchange thing,
(08:54):
and I'm like, I'm trying to see money right now?
Are we adding these things? Then?
Speaker 3 (08:58):
I should probably you that are about by, But I just
have like an auto amount that comes out every single
month that goes straight into our investment accounts, which, by
the way, if you're listening and you are like, I
need to do that, but I never have. It's intimidated.
It's very intimidating. I was very scared. I don't like
talking about numbers. It's very boring to me. But you
don't have to have like a bazillion dollars saved to
(09:20):
start investing.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
You don't.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
You can have little bits taken out. And I think
it's really important women are still so far behind men
in investing because for in real estate, well we have
in our like way ahead in real estate lately in finances,
and because we are just so were we started off
at such a disadvantage in life of basically what year
(09:43):
was it when women could actually start even a savings
account in their own name? Right, Yeah, so we're we're
catching up, but it and you know, it's important to
do that stuff for yourself and for your future. So
don't let it intimidate you.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yeah, don't even though, like I don't know, I think
it's intimidating. And someone helps like explain certain things. But
also you can do like research on your own, which
I know nobody wants to do, but I do. And
also there's so many like quote unquote finance gurus out
there that you're.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Like, well, who do I believe? Who is doing it right?
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Because like even the person that we're working with, like
I trust him based off of Andrew's recommendation of his
clients working with this person, and I'm still learning how
much I trust him and what we're like doing and
stuff like it's a process.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Yeah, I don't I don't know what who your guy
works for, but I will say it is good too,
especially if you're just starting out and you're nervous if
you don't have like a strong recommendation from someone you
truly truly trust, because this is your money, it is
I would say, look at like the bigger companies that
you've heard of, they're going to have obviously they're going
to be at least moderately reputable, you know, so for sure?
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Yeah uh?
Speaker 1 (10:49):
And then speaking of holiday stuff, we are coming over
to your house, and by we, I mean myself and Tina.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
I know that holiday and it's actually, for like the
first time in a million years, free on a streating service.
Almost every year Jake and I have to like rent
it or buy it, which is so weird, but it's
actually free, thank god. If it isn't, I will be
charging you both however much it costs to rent it,
to add that to your budget. I feelink that's unfair
because you invited us over, so I assume that that
mean you had it on DVD at least.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Who is it.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
I don't have a DVD player. I do actually think
I have the DVD somewhere. But I last thing I
do too, I think I have the DV Yeah, I
do not have a function. I remember one year we
were Cable went out and we were like, well, what
do we do with our lives?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
How do we entertain our child? You know, very adult things?
Speaker 3 (11:33):
And I think we ended up finding the DVD player,
but we could never find the remote that went with it,
so we do have one somewhere. But we're debating on
if I should prepare a meal or if we should
order food, and I don't know, maybe we should just
order food, but also I don't know, going back and
forth on it. Jenny's going to make cookies and I
do like that, I know.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
I do, however, need to get myself some because I
wanted to make like Christmas cutouts, and I know everyone
makes cutouts around the time of the year, but I
swear that my mom's recipe is just like very top notch,
and I've never made them myself, so I can't promise
it'll be great, but I think they will. And I
went to Target yesterday and they had no Christmas cutout
things cutters whatever they're called. And so I'm like on
(12:11):
Facebook Marketplace last night and people are trying to sell
like fifty cookie cutter.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
I bet you should go somewhere like Michael's or hobby Lobby.
I bet you that would be like a good spot
to get that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
I honestly was debating asking Dave if he could ask
Susan for to borrow hers because I feel like they
have everything.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
I have somebody.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
I mean, I have some that I could bring as
long as you bring them back Saturday because we're doing
cookie Sunday.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
That would work okay, because I don't know if I'll
ever make them again. And I was like, oh, it'd
be fun to do like a cookie thing with. I
don't have a ton, but I have a few. I
only want like the basics. Are they Christmas themed?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Okay? I want like a tree? You got that? I
don't know that I have a tree's a star? I
think Santa. I have some. I know I have a
mittened What do you have my yashs like the staples
of Christmas cookie cut out?
Speaker 3 (13:01):
No, I can't remember. I have to go look when
I get home. Wat y'all on me have like a
heart in a Minnesota state. I know I have cats
and dogs, but I'm pretty sure I have Christmas once.
I want them to be like easy enough to frost.
I don't want it to be like where I have
to do a bunch of different colors on one.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Do you know what I mean? Yeah? Because I feel
like the Santas. Usually you gotta have red and white
and then it's like, where do you put the red
in the white?
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Yeah? So anyways, I'm.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Saving the cookies I want to make every year. I
will do the peanut butter blossoms because those are Jake's favorite,
and honestly, I don't like a peanut butter cookie, but
I like those because of the kiss. But I've been
saving some bars and some cookies that I'm gonna try
new this year.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Okay, in addition to sugar cookies. I think you gave
me a little bag of cookies.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Last year, I want to say, and I'm gonna do
just like some bark this year too. I bought a
bunch of white milk chocolate to melt and a bunch
of shit to pour in it.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
I can already tell that my body is hating me
because Andrew bought a bunch of chocolate to put in
this little like reindeer candy dish we have, and of
course we can't control our ourselves. It's like the only
snack we have in the house half the time, and
so we've both been eating like chocolate, and I can
tell it's messing with my stomach already, which is always
what happens every year with my Mom's peanut butter balls
(14:10):
where the chocolate gets to me, and I like feel awful,
like I've worked out pretty hard the last few days.
Today though, I had a couple of linch truffles yesterday
and now my son was like, what in the hell? Yeah,
Andrew went bougie this last time filling up that reindeer.
I was like, jeez, babe, we're gonna go broke on
the chocolates you're putting in this thing.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
They're God, they're not cheap. We gonna go broke up
the lint chocolate Reinier I got. I went.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
I bought two tins of Jingle Jangle at Trader Joe's. Already,
we're already through one. I'm like, good guy, it's bash am.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
I gonna have to get some because I'm probably going to.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Trader Joe's today. It's ten dollars for the ten and
it's worth it. It's so delicious, it's so good. I
might have to Jingle Jingle is a It's something we look.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Forward to as a family every year. Now, it's so good.
I don't know if I've had it. I know what it,
but I don't.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Know I've got it.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
M and m's tiny which are my least favorite, my
tiny little peanut butter cups, like tiny ones, chocolate covered pretzels,
chocolate covered popcorns, and then they're little Jojo cookies, chunks
of those.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Covered in chocolate.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Oh my gosh, it's I like a mix that if
it has pretzels in it, then it's not just the
pretzel it because you know, you get like your Guardetto's
or whatever, and it's like the pretzels always the least
favorite thing.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
It's not my least favorite when they're chocolate covered.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
That's what I'm saying. Like, that's why I'm saying I
would like that mix with pretzels in it. It actually
has like some blave it's all chocolate.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Some are dark summer light.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Baby.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
So how much does it cost? Ten dollars?
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (15:40):
God? For like a tin? What size is it?
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Like the size of this chlorox bottle? A normal tin,
a normal Christmas cookie tin.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Okay, see I was thinking like a popcorn tin for
a second. I was like, I could do.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
That, Jenny, What that's so fud good? You would not.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
I can't be eating chocolate this much because I can't
control myself. I'm getting pimps around my like chin over here,
and you know that is not my norm.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
So I don't like that.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Usually that's hormonal acting. Then I'm on my period, so
that could be it. Probably you're on your period again,
started yesterday? Didn't you just have it?
Speaker 2 (16:15):
N I'm on, I'm at roat, I'm a fountain. Oh
my god, I think it was like two or three
weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Right, well do you do last month? You did do
something different after the tsunami. Period was supposed to come
right well before that.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Remember I took medication to induce my period, so and
then that's.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
These are the repercussions. Now.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
I don't know what's happening. I think this is normal.
This is the only one I've had this month. Okay,
well that would be normal. But god, I swore like
two weeks ago you were like, I have a period again.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
I might have my week's are I'm out?
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:49):
In December and nobody knows what's going on. Nobody knows
tell me about it. I I like literally dream about
Christmas wish every day and I'm like, what day is it?
What day? Like? Are we are we like a few
weeks into it? Are we only a week? I don't
know everybody knows how far I do feel like Christmas
should only be a week away, and it's.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Weeks Okaya is yesterday?
Speaker 3 (17:11):
The elf on the shelf left to eighteen days until Christmas. Note,
let me tell you something that I don't envy of
you parents. I don't do difficult ones. There are people
who spend a lot of money, buy outfit really commit. Yeah,
I have our elf really.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Just like.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Is a budget friendly elf. She does not go to
the North Pole and spend all of her money on stuff.
She looks around the house and she's like, that be
a fun little thing. So you got a frugal elf,
A frugal elf. Yeah, it's nice that you got one
of those. I feel like some elves are just like
real bougie with it. She did bring all of some
little many donuts, like those little powdered sugar ones.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
But that's I think all she's Those are my favorite,
so good god. It's like road trip snacks. Those will,
hands down always be in my road trip snacks.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
I never get them, but if someone else has them,
I'll pound them right.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
And it's like they're the type that you can't stop
once you started, You're like, Okay, I'll have two, and
then you're like, well, what's two more?
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Well, what's the whole bag? Yeah, that's a lot at
that point. But yeah, I'm on the same page as
you for sure.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Here. I did get a DM from someone and I
sent it to myself in an email. Hopefully I did
it correctly that I would like to read and they
need a little bit of help. Okay, it says fallin
Jenny with a bunch of exclamation points. That's why I
yelled okay, I love you guys and all that you
bring to my everyday routine. I'm writing in in need
of some advice. So for starters, I graduated college with
(18:41):
close friends and some acquaintances that I'm friendly with. I
met one of my best friends in college who I
see regularly. However, along with this girl I consider a bestie,
let's call her Joanna, also includes four of the girls
in this friend group.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Let me explain.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
I met these four girls through Joanna, and as college
went on, we be came roommates, hung out quite a bit,
and once we all graduated, we distanced each other, trying
to figure ourselves out. Ever since that year, I've felt
a feeling of not belonging in this friend group anymore.
When we did get together, there'd always be lots of
shit talking, being insensitive to other people and super judgmental
(19:17):
talking about the same stories about people and memories and
all that I'm a part of their group message in
Snapchat and Instagram chain and as I have all of
them muted and respond minimally, I wish I could put
more distance between this group and myself and just have
a friendship with Joanna, since I don't think it's a
healthy front group. It's different when it's one on one,
and I've grown to love smaller groups unless everyone's personalities
(19:40):
are in sync. This college group all have too big
of personalities where everyone wants the spotlight. I know that
my feelings are valid since I don't feel this way
and any other groups of friends that I have, but
I am also a people pleaser and I don't like confrontation.
I've put a lot of distance between the four girls
that I don't consider close, but because Joanna is very
good friends with them, I feel like it's really hard
(20:01):
to detach myself from them since she adores them, and
it's difficult when it comes to social settings and celebrations.
So these healthy boundaries that I set, but I cannot
figure out how to do this.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
She might have misspoke there. I'm not sure what she
was trying to say.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
This is a I dread going to hang out with them,
and I feel drained when leaving the hangout type of situation.
I know it's not great, So I'm trying to be
completely positive on my decision and how I go about this,
because I don't want to keep coming back in and
leaving the friend group. I wish we could all just
naturally get involved in our own lives and be busy
and maybe see each other once a year. But they
literally message the friend group every day, and some with something.
(20:40):
I have cut out friendships that no longer stuited me
in the past, but this seems a little more gray area,
easier said than done right now, I only just found
if it's an individual message to me, please help. So
I think she's asking, like, how to set boundaries with
this friend group while still remaining friends with Joanna.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Yeah, is what I'm getting out of this. I feel
like you've done the more than me, so maybe you
have more advice.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Yeah, I mean I have very much like cut certain
people out of my life and then like have been
scared that I wouldn't be friends with the other people
that we were all associated with, and that's usually not
the case. I was still friends with the people that
I wanted to be friends with, and not friends with
the people I didn't want to. So I think you
just you know, I don't think it doesn't sound like
(21:23):
any of them did you dirty? And anyway, it just
sounds like you have grown in a different way. Yeah, yeah,
I would say grown up. Yes, So I would say,
just like ask Joanna to hang out and like just
have you guys be in it, and then like remove
yourself from the group chats if you want, because like
who cares?
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Yeah, if you're not even responding.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
I mean, I realistically, you know that if that's the
type of people they are, they're probably going to talk
crap about you and be like what did we do?
And what's her deal? And they probably ask Joanna. If
Joanna is like good people like you say, then I
think she'll be like, I don't know, Maybe she doesn't know.
Maybe you can explain it to her and maybe she'll
(22:05):
even agree with you, even though you say she adores them.
But maybe don't bring it up or explain it unless
she asks you, because then it's almost like you're starting
to gossip, which you don't really like. So maybe, yeah,
like Jenny said, just invite her to do solo things.
The issue with that is you are gonna have to
be prepared for her to be like, oh, yeah, should
(22:26):
we like text the group and see if they want
to go, And you're gonna have to be like I
was hoping it could just be the two of us.
Maybe you could say it like warded, like, hey, I
was thinking the two of us could go grab so
that it doesn't leave it open ended to them by
the other people in the group. Yeah, and then she
may eventually figure it out. Like Jenny said, it sounds
(22:47):
like you are good at setting boundaries with the group
text because you have all muted. But yeah, you do
look at your phone and see curiosity gets you you
look through it.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
It's no fun to be around people who just tak
crap all the time and are super judgmental. Really is draining,
and you might not like realize that until you're a
little bit older. But like, I have definitely been in
situations where I like couldn't be around certain people anymore,
because it's just not who I am as a person
to just constantly talk crap.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
So I just like wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Respond to people on text sometimes, and then then I
look like I'm the bitch, right and I'm like, no,
you're talking shit about someone and I don't want to partake,
so leave me out of it.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Yeah. So yeah, it's just I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Negative energy is what I'm getting from the other girls,
and you shouldn't have that in your life. So hopefully
you can still be friends with Joanna and not have that.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
I don't know how old you are, but I am
if it's like your few years your moved from college.
It is so surprising to me that your group still
texts every single day. I know, that's actually like so
surprising to me because my good college friends.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
There are three of us.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
We text a little bit more right now because Abby
got engaged, but realistically I would, I don't know, maybe
text Abby every three weeks, maybe more if there was
something big going on.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
That's actually surprising to me. If you know, I was
gonna say, I don't know it for you because you
don't want that. Yeah, I don't have any group chats honestly,
that are very frequent. It's like a lot of memes
sent back and forth on like Instagram in a couple things,
but not even every day. The only frequent group chat
I have is Jake's siblings. Yeah, they send something every
(24:30):
single day. It's always just funny back and forth, funny
stuff that makes me laugh.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Yeah. Well, I don't know. Hopefully that'll help you out
a little bit, but nos. Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
I feel like it's I have a million things I
want to talk about, and then I can't think of
a single thing, Like, my thoughts are not organized today.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
I had to spend like five to ten hours last
week transferring my U of M email to a basic
Gmail because they were taking my U of M email
all away from you.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Finally, how dare they take it away from you?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
And let me tell you that is one of the
most tedious things to change emails.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Really.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Everything is associated to your email. Yeah, everything, your Venmo,
your social media accounts, your bank accounts, you're my chart,
like absolutely anything that you have subscription to or you
have to log into it is associated.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
To your email.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
The only thing I have associated to my college email
is Facebook. But I have two emails on there, not
just my college one, in case that ever happened. I
haven't logged into my college email in like years and years.
I don't know if it still exists.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Honestly, I just never started a personal one after college
because I had just always used my college one. So anyways,
they took it away, and as I'm going through my
Google drive, I stumbled upon all of these random things
that I had saved in there from when I started
on the show, and so there were so many clips
of just random bits and I'd be like, what is this.
I don't even know what this is, like whatever it
(25:54):
was titled, but there were so many clips, and I
don't know why I had these specifically, because it'd be
soundbites of you, Dave and Steve, and I would always
put these promos together and where it'd be funny clips
of you guys, but I had to like go back
and listen to yours because I just there were so
many funny ones that I remember, but like I needed
to hear them again. And one of my favorites, and
I don't know the context of it, it was something
(26:15):
like when you, oh God, when you fart, do you
shit yourself or something like that. No, you didn't say shit, obviously,
yeah you said shart. But it was so funny. And
I remember putting this promo together with that clip and
Tina being in my studio with me, and I was
crying laughing, and I think she was like, Jenny, it's
not that funny, and I was like, it is so funny,
(26:36):
like whatever it was. So I heard that clip over
the weekend and I wanted to play it for you,
but honestly, my email's so like messed up with trying
to transfer all this stuff over. I don't know where
it is right now, but.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
I do not remember them. I'man.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
The only shart I truly remember is when Dave sharded
himself as before a staff meeting.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
No one I will always remember, probably.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
And I think that that is the one story that
I will also forever remember as like crying laughing as.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
You told it on the radio that day because I
could not and it was so annoyed with me.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
I said, so funny, it was so funny. I mean,
do you want to tell the cliff notes of the story.
He's told it himself now at this point. Yeah, so
he basely an embarrassed.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
We had a staff meeting and I didn't know anything,
and then like I'm gonna get details wrong. But when
we left the staff meeting and we go it was
just he and I walked to the elevator together and
he was like, hey, do I stink or whatever?
Speaker 2 (27:30):
And I was like what, no, and he was like, oh,
thank god.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
He was like, right before that staff meeting, I sharded
myself and he said that he went over to the
back of the room like it was this conference room
and sat at the end of the table where no
one was at and he said as soon as he did,
like someone came like hey Dave and sat right next
to him or something, and he was just like, oh
my god. And the whole meeting he was so stressed out.
He smelled b like crap. But it was very it
(27:54):
was funnier, and it was like obviously it was so funny.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
I think one of the funny parts was the fact
that he was trying to go to the bathroom to
clean himself up. But then Rich was like, Dave, we're
in here, because like he thought Dan was going to the.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Wrong room and he didn't want it to be so late.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
He was like, well, yeah, okay, I'll come. But then
the other one was that he was next to Mike
the old web guy. Yes, and he felt like Mike
kept scooting away from him, so he thought he smelled
really bad.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
My that that DAEs ring a bell. Now, I'm like,
my memory gets worse and worse every day. But yeah,
there'll be definitely certain moments like that that stick out
that make me laugh quite a bit.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
If I heard it, make me laugh a lot for sure.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Yeah. Well, since I'm on the side, I can see
the time right now, we're kind of at time. But
next next week's going to be our last episode of
twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
That's crazy. Should we do something crazy, something wild?
Speaker 3 (28:45):
Maybe we should do like a little US yes, topless
topless podcast, no video elements, sorry, so that'll be removed
very quickly, and then we will. Oh, I tell you
that I tried the Do you see that viral Turkish
pasta going around on?
Speaker 1 (29:02):
I have not. No.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Anna Paul is a sex worker and I follow her
and I love her. She's like Australian or something. She's
very funny and like eats all the time, and she
talks very fast and has long videos and.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
She's the one that like a year.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Or two ago, was like, I follow this sex worker
or whatever, and Jake was like, what's or He's like,
ooh gross, what's her name? And we laughed like he
could go look her up, but he acted like he
was appalled. But she made a Turkish pasta, and it's
like going. It's like everywhere on TikTok. It's probably even
more so on my TikTok because I looked at one
recipe of it. I made it.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
I none of us.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Hannah came over Jake's sister never have we ever had
the worst garlic breath in our lives?
Speaker 2 (29:43):
And it was okay.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Oh, I was gonna say, was it a good recipe?
Speaker 2 (29:46):
It was okay. I have maybe on the garlic prepare
it as well as she does. Yeah, but it was okay.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
So I thought you were going to say that's what
you're going to make for us on Saturday. That will
not be making okay for us. No.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
I think there was a one and done situation for me.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
So oh uh, nope. You might be any takeout, Jenny.
I don't know what's gonna happen for you. Could be Culver's, could.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Be ooh, I love calling me that butter burger hell. Yes,
all right, well, have a great week.

our final episode, you can do it fallon or final
episode of the year. Yes, good point at adwb dot com. Also,
maybe I'll do like a little ask us anything question
box we can do for the end of the year.
