(00:00:20):
very very wonderful sexy hot amazing fiancee d say hi d hey how's it going guys
(00:00:30):
I wanted to bring him on here today because I thought it would be really fun for
(00:00:34):
you guys to see kind of how just how our relationship flows.
(00:00:37):
Plus, he's had a really interesting life and I am always curious to learn more about him.
(00:00:42):
So first, I want you to kind of like introduce yourself.
(00:00:48):
I know everybody hates it when people say, tell me about yourself.
(00:00:51):
But,
(00:00:52):
you know,
(00:00:52):
for people who don't read my Substack at all and only listen to the podcast,
(00:00:56):
they probably have no idea who you are.
(00:00:57):
All right.
(00:01:00):
Well, my name is Devin, 30 years old.
(00:01:03):
I am a father.
(00:01:06):
To Iz, you're Iz's dad.
(00:01:09):
Yeah.
(00:01:10):
Yeah.
(00:01:10):
Iz is my kid.
(00:01:13):
Yep.
(00:01:14):
And, shoot, I mean, I'm a Marine Corps veteran.
(00:01:19):
What'd you do in the Marine Corps?
(00:01:21):
Oh, I was supply logistics for nine years.
(00:01:27):
You did way more than that.
(00:01:29):
Yes.
(00:01:30):
That's like just the tip of the iceberg of what you did.
(00:01:35):
Yeah.
(00:01:36):
Nine years, three different units.
(00:01:38):
First unit was 2nd Tank Battalion, Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.
(00:01:43):
Second unit was VMU-1 in Yuma, Arizona, a little bit in 29 Palms.
(00:01:49):
And then third unit was INI, being an inspector instructor at Evansburg PA Truck Company.
(00:01:58):
And somehow we never crossed paths because you were in that whole time.
(00:02:05):
Because you got out in... 2021.
(00:02:09):
Yeah.
(00:02:10):
So you just never crossed your path.
(00:02:14):
Nope.
(00:02:14):
That's super crazy.
(00:02:16):
So you're in the Marine Corps.
(00:02:18):
You're a dad.
(00:02:19):
And now what do you do?
(00:02:20):
Now I'm one of the managers over at Shields.
(00:02:24):
That's opening up in Tulsa.
(00:02:27):
No one knew that I lived in Tulsa.
(00:02:28):
No.
(00:02:30):
Well, no one still knew.
(00:02:32):
They just knew I worked in Tulsa.
(00:02:34):
Yeah, well, actually, it's not a big deal.
(00:02:36):
I don't give a shit.
(00:02:36):
You look at my name, you can see everything on me.
(00:02:38):
Okay.
(00:02:39):
Like,
(00:02:41):
I'm kind of just,
(00:02:42):
at this point,
(00:02:43):
the minute I put my book out there,
(00:02:46):
it's going to have your last name on it.
(00:02:47):
Yeah.
(00:02:49):
So it's like, the minute I put the book out there, everybody's going to know everything about me.
(00:02:53):
So it's like, you know, and Joey didn't care about having his name out there.
(00:02:59):
Yeah, I'm not too worried about it.
(00:03:01):
But so, yes, you work at Shields.
(00:03:04):
We live in Tulsa, unfortunately.
(00:03:07):
It's not all bad, but it's definitely not sunshine and rainbows.
(00:03:13):
And we would definitely like to be living somewhere else.
(00:03:16):
Agreed.
(00:03:17):
So, you know.
(00:03:20):
It is what it is.
(00:03:21):
We're both kind of, well, I'm stuck here.
(00:03:22):
He's not necessarily stuck here.
(00:03:24):
I'm stuck here.
(00:03:24):
I'm stuck here because you're stuck here.
(00:03:27):
Aw, you're so sweet.
(00:03:28):
That's just the truth of it.
(00:03:32):
Yeah, we're stuck here for four years.
(00:03:35):
No, 13 more years.
(00:03:36):
Holy shit, my kid got older.
(00:03:38):
I forgot about that.
(00:03:40):
Oh, yes, this is an episode featured...
(00:03:42):
With trees, we are having trees on here.
(00:03:44):
I don't know how Substack is with the legalities of all of that.
(00:03:48):
We are in a legal state, but I know I need to be careful because, you know, people are stupid.
(00:03:55):
So if you hear that coughing, any of that, that's what's happening over here.
(00:04:02):
We thought it would be fun for you guys to see us, like, honestly, properly in our truest forms.
(00:04:08):
Although I think our truest forms is probably when we're tripping on mushrooms.
(00:04:13):
Yeah, probably.
(00:04:16):
Fun fact, that's when he told me he loved me.
(00:04:20):
Yes.
(00:04:22):
His eyes literally looked like an anime character.
(00:04:25):
They were so huge.
(00:04:26):
He was like, I could literally see in his eyes.
(00:04:29):
He was like, oh, fuck.
(00:04:31):
Did I really just say that?
(00:04:32):
Because I wasn't divorced yet.
(00:04:35):
We were not going to have a relationship.
(00:04:38):
And we definitely had started to develop feelings.
(00:04:43):
Yeah, we were telling each other we loved each other, just not using those specific words.
(00:04:50):
Yeah, what did we say?
(00:04:51):
You mean so much to me.
(00:04:54):
You mean a lot to me.
(00:04:55):
What was the other one?
(00:04:57):
You make me happy.
(00:04:58):
Oh, yes.
(00:04:59):
You make me happy.
(00:05:00):
Oh, you make me so happy.
(00:05:01):
Yeah, which is not much different than I love you so much.
(00:05:05):
So fucking much.
(00:05:07):
Correct.
(00:05:07):
We just kept following that line.
(00:05:09):
But yeah, so our two, our two on themselves.
(00:05:12):
Now I will say that there's probably going to be a lot of digressions and I'm going
(00:05:15):
to try to be the best fiance and podcast host possible and not interrupt you too
(00:05:19):
many times when you're talking.
(00:05:22):
Oh, it's just giving them a view into the real world.
(00:05:27):
I just stuck my tongue out.
(00:05:28):
They interrupted me.
(00:05:31):
I was about to say the same thing.
(00:05:35):
literally did what you said i do oh my god it's like you know me just a bit just a
(00:05:41):
bit yeah okay so you work at shields you're in the marine corps you have a daughter
(00:05:48):
yes i mean technically you have two more now but i have a daughter and a daughter
(00:05:56):
and a daughter and a daughter yeah
(00:06:00):
And then we have our boys.
(00:06:02):
We have the two boys.
(00:06:03):
And Zussi is yours and Shepi is mine.
(00:06:06):
And now they're all yours.
(00:06:07):
I was going to say, they're both kind of mine now.
(00:06:09):
Yeah, fucking Shep just like straight up was like, oh, I don't know who you are anymore.
(00:06:17):
And just fell in love with Daddy.
(00:06:18):
It was ridiculous.
(00:06:19):
He is what Daddy's for.
(00:06:21):
He really is.
(00:06:22):
He doesn't even come close to smiling at me like the way he smiles at you.
(00:06:25):
I know.
(00:06:26):
And when I come home, he gets so excited.
(00:06:29):
I literally was talking to my therapist about that,
(00:06:32):
how like watching them really helps put in perspective like things that I can be
(00:06:36):
grateful for because they're so fucking thankful that you're just home petting them.
(00:06:41):
I know.
(00:06:42):
You should be more happy when I come home and pet you.
(00:06:46):
You should know that I am.
(00:06:49):
There's so many things I can't say right now.
(00:06:52):
Got to keep it semi.
(00:06:55):
Not.
(00:06:57):
Well, no, it's marked as 18 plus.
(00:07:00):
Yeah, so if you're under 18, fuck off.
(00:07:03):
Yeah, it's probably not a good idea for you to listen to this one.
(00:07:09):
But anyway, what were we talking about?
(00:07:12):
We were talking about... Okay, so we have the Dodgers.
(00:07:17):
Yes.
(00:07:17):
We have the boys.
(00:07:18):
Yes.
(00:07:19):
There you go, the two dogs.
(00:07:21):
Yes.
(00:07:23):
And... They're near 200 pounds of dog.
(00:07:25):
Yeah, for real.
(00:07:26):
That like to lay on top of us.
(00:07:28):
Yes.
(00:07:28):
Yeah.
(00:07:29):
And get more ankles.
(00:07:30):
Yes.
(00:07:31):
I can walk those, too, by myself.
(00:07:33):
Well, yeah.
(00:07:34):
They're well-behaved boys.
(00:07:36):
Yes.
(00:07:37):
Shep wasn't always well-behaved on a leash.
(00:07:39):
No.
(00:07:40):
He's doing a lot better all around.
(00:07:42):
Oh, yeah.
(00:07:43):
Motherfucker doesn't jump fences anymore.
(00:07:45):
I'm better than I was.
(00:07:47):
I know, for real.
(00:07:49):
You're probably going to start fucking barking.
(00:07:55):
Okay, so many think that it was Kara Allwell that introduced me to subject, but it wasn't.
(00:08:03):
It was actually you.
(00:08:05):
Yeah, I mean, it wasn't like a super detailed introduction.
(00:08:12):
It was just you were talking about writing.
(00:08:15):
And so it reminded me of the Joe Rogan podcast where the founder of Substack was on
(00:08:23):
there and talking about how he was really trying to make a platform for writers.
(00:08:30):
Yeah, that was the interview with Chris Best, I believe.
(00:08:34):
Yeah.
(00:08:34):
Cause I don't know if he's interviewed Hamish or not.
(00:08:37):
Um,
(00:08:38):
I don't know,
(00:08:40):
but that was actually the podcast that made me want to start my podcast like that
(00:08:45):
because I really enjoyed the way they talked with each other,
(00:08:49):
but he also brought up Chris brought up,
(00:08:53):
he's like,
(00:08:53):
no one really does this.
(00:08:55):
That was in their podcast.
(00:08:58):
So I thought that was, that's kind of what sparked this idea for all of this, but, okay.
(00:09:02):
Um,
(00:09:03):
So, yeah, it was you.
(00:09:04):
But why did you think it would be a good platform for me?
(00:09:07):
Oh, I mean, it just seems like they actually care about the writers more than just trying to make money.
(00:09:16):
Now, I mean, it's a business still, so I'm sure, you know, there is the business aspect of it.
(00:09:23):
But, I mean, it really seems like they care about the writers.
(00:09:27):
They're wanting to give people a platform to express themselves.
(00:09:33):
It seems pretty cool.
(00:09:35):
So I brought it up.
(00:09:38):
Well, I appreciate it because it has been a huge awakening for me.
(00:09:45):
Just all the doors that have started opening because of it.
(00:09:47):
I feel like that's just the link itself.
(00:09:51):
theme with my life with you.
(00:09:53):
All these doors just keep opening up, and it's like, oh, because I'm finally with the right person.
(00:09:57):
Yeah, I'm just passing along information.
(00:10:02):
You're the one putting in the work.
(00:10:03):
Yeah, but you're still passing it along.
(00:10:05):
Of course.
(00:10:06):
You're still listening to what I'm saying.
(00:10:08):
Always.
(00:10:09):
Yeah.
(00:10:10):
It's not always like that for other people.
(00:10:12):
Nah.
(00:10:14):
Or with other people.
(00:10:17):
Oh, I can't speak for them.
(00:10:19):
No.
(00:10:19):
I just try to do what I can.
(00:10:22):
You do.
(00:10:22):
You definitely do.
(00:10:25):
But you're divorced.
(00:10:26):
I am divorced.
(00:10:27):
Yes.
(00:10:28):
So we both are.
(00:10:29):
Correct.
(00:10:31):
And we both said we wouldn't ever get married again.
(00:10:33):
Also correct.
(00:10:35):
I tried.
(00:10:36):
Yes.
(00:10:37):
Yes, you did.
(00:10:38):
Ooh.
(00:10:41):
You should tell them how you proposed to me and why you chose Lynn.
(00:10:49):
Okay.
(00:10:50):
May is a big deal for us.
(00:10:51):
It's a big month for us for some reason.
(00:10:54):
Yeah.
(00:10:58):
What's that?
(00:11:02):
I don't even know where to start.
(00:11:04):
I mean, because I had planned it out quite a while ago.
(00:11:10):
Really?
(00:11:10):
Oh, yeah.
(00:11:12):
I asked Isabella and Lucy both ahead of time.
(00:11:16):
You asked Lucy?
(00:11:17):
And she kept a secret?
(00:11:18):
Yeah.
(00:11:19):
Oh, yeah.
(00:11:21):
She is Emma.
(00:11:26):
I'm so proud of her.
(00:11:27):
Yeah, that one I was worried about.
(00:11:30):
Because I don't like... You know... I think I just said it was a surprise, though.
(00:11:40):
I didn't say, like, don't tell your mom.
(00:11:42):
I said it was a surprise.
(00:11:43):
Yeah, and she's a really... She really...
(00:11:47):
Surprises are a big fucking deal to her.
(00:11:49):
Yeah, she loves them.
(00:11:50):
I know.
(00:11:51):
And it was.
(00:11:51):
It was a surprise.
(00:11:52):
It was a surprise.
(00:11:53):
I was so not expecting it.
(00:11:56):
Okay.
(00:11:57):
But anywho, so, yeah, talked to them, contemplated talking to your father.
(00:12:02):
Still kind of kicking myself that we didn't.
(00:12:04):
I didn't know about the Kansas cabin.
(00:12:06):
I would have freaking invited him out there or something.
(00:12:09):
That would have...
(00:12:11):
But, so, anywhoos.
(00:12:13):
So, we had our date.
(00:12:16):
You're going to have to remember.
(00:12:18):
The date we went paintballing.
(00:12:19):
Yes.
(00:12:20):
The date we went paintballing.
(00:12:21):
Yeah, we went and, because it was technically my date.
(00:12:23):
It was my date to plan.
(00:12:25):
Yep.
(00:12:26):
So, we went and got tacos.
(00:12:27):
Yeah, which were amazing.
(00:12:28):
They were amazing.
(00:12:29):
And then we went and paintballed, and I got fucking hammered on margaritas.
(00:12:34):
And hammered by paintballs.
(00:12:35):
By paintballs, yeah.
(00:12:37):
Yeah.
(00:12:38):
black and blue everywhere for a while made me regret you taking me paintballing
(00:12:46):
well i mean you know i knew that would happen i just sometimes it's hard for people
(00:12:52):
to grasp the concept of what happens when i make those choices yeah it was a little
(00:12:57):
crazy but but we went paintballing we had uh it was hot dogs and stuff right hot
(00:13:05):
dogs and hammers but i don't
(00:13:07):
I didn't eat anything.
(00:13:08):
Did you eat anything?
(00:13:09):
I can't remember if I ate anything.
(00:13:10):
I don't feel like you ate anything because you got food later, way later that night.
(00:13:15):
Yeah.
(00:13:16):
So, but you definitely partook in the margaritas.
(00:13:19):
Oh, yes.
(00:13:20):
Yes.
(00:13:20):
I think three.
(00:13:22):
Three.
(00:13:23):
And they were not like.
(00:13:24):
They were not bullcrap margaritas.
(00:13:26):
No.
(00:13:27):
No.
(00:13:27):
They were.
(00:13:28):
Fucking strong.
(00:13:30):
Why did I not say bullshit, but then I said fuck?
(00:13:34):
Can't help you with that one, hon.
(00:13:36):
Yeah.
(00:13:37):
You say fuck a lot on your podcast.
(00:13:38):
Oh, I know.
(00:13:40):
What?
(00:13:41):
You say fuck a lot, so it's okay if I say it.
(00:13:44):
Of fucking course.
(00:13:45):
Okay.
(00:13:46):
Anyways.
(00:13:47):
So, yeah, paintballing, margaritas.
(00:13:50):
Then I was worried that you were too drunk to propose to.
(00:13:57):
So what did you do?
(00:13:58):
I suggested we go get french fries because you love french fries.
(00:14:02):
And they do what?
(00:14:03):
Sober you up.
(00:14:04):
And he knew that.
(00:14:06):
Like...
(00:14:08):
It's just, like, he knew that about me.
(00:14:10):
And how many times have we gotten, like, drunk drunk together?
(00:14:14):
Not very many.
(00:14:15):
No, just a couple.
(00:14:17):
Yeah, and you still remember that.
(00:14:20):
You still knew that.
(00:14:21):
Yes, because I tried to pay attention to you.
(00:14:25):
I appreciate it.
(00:14:27):
Of course.
(00:14:28):
Okay, so we got French fries.
(00:14:31):
Yes.
(00:14:32):
Over strategically by where we were going.
(00:14:34):
But we had to come home first.
(00:14:39):
Because we had to give back Bauer.
(00:14:40):
That was the first time Bauer stayed with us.
(00:14:42):
Yes, so we had to give back a dollar bill.
(00:14:45):
Yeah.
(00:14:46):
And then we went to get french fries.
(00:14:50):
Right?
(00:14:52):
Or was french fries?
(00:14:52):
Yeah, it was after because we had the french fries when we got to the park.
(00:14:58):
Yes, yeah, we did.
(00:14:59):
That's right.
(00:14:59):
It was a park on a river.
(00:15:02):
Yes, there's a beautiful river walk.
(00:15:04):
And it was a perfect little setting.
(00:15:07):
Yeah.
(00:15:07):
It really was.
(00:15:08):
It was so nice that night.
(00:15:09):
It was, like, the sky was dark, dark.
(00:15:14):
The moon was so bright.
(00:15:16):
Yeah.
(00:15:17):
And there weren't very many lights on either.
(00:15:19):
Nope.
(00:15:19):
There were just a few lights, just enough to where you could really see.
(00:15:24):
And we walked down there.
(00:15:29):
There was a snake.
(00:15:30):
There was a snake.
(00:15:32):
I forgot about the snake.
(00:15:33):
Yeah, there was a snake.
(00:15:35):
I kind of chased it off.
(00:15:36):
You did?
(00:15:37):
Yeah.
(00:15:38):
And then somehow I got tangled in.
(00:15:41):
What was that?
(00:15:42):
Fishing line.
(00:15:42):
Yeah, you got tangled in that clear little fishing line.
(00:15:46):
I still don't know how it happened because I obviously never saw it.
(00:15:50):
Not that that's saying much because I'm, you know, night blind and I was definitely still drunk.
(00:15:57):
And so I got down on a knee to, you know, help you get out of the fishing line.
(00:16:05):
And then I pulled out a ring.
(00:16:08):
Yeah.
(00:16:09):
And I was not expecting that.
(00:16:13):
And I said what, which made you nervous.
(00:16:16):
Yeah.
(00:16:18):
Yeah.
(00:16:19):
I completely forgot everything I was going to say.
(00:16:22):
Yeah.
(00:16:24):
i think i just basically said i love you so fucking much will you marry me probably
(00:16:30):
i don't know i was so like my brain wasn't processing anything you could have said
(00:16:34):
a thousand things and i probably still wouldn't have processed any of it yeah
(00:16:38):
because i was just so like fucking over the moon that that this was actually
(00:16:45):
happening
(00:16:46):
Yeah, I was going to do a whole thing.
(00:16:49):
You make me feel like the luckiest man in the world.
(00:16:52):
I know you couldn't do this life without you.
(00:16:56):
You make me whole.
(00:16:57):
I feel like we've gone through this life before and another life.
(00:17:02):
It was a whole little thing in my head.
(00:17:06):
And as soon as I got down on one knee and I realized that that was the moment I was
(00:17:12):
going to do it,
(00:17:12):
my heart was beating so fast.
(00:17:15):
It did not help that I said, shut up.
(00:17:18):
Yeah, that's what you said.
(00:17:20):
Yeah.
(00:17:20):
And I was like, oh, that just threw everything off too.
(00:17:26):
Yeah.
(00:17:26):
Yeah, and I was 100% doing like a clueless shut up, like Valley Grill 101 right there.
(00:17:34):
Yeah.
(00:17:36):
But I was so drunk that everything was just like.
(00:17:39):
Yeah, you get very California girl when you're drunk.
(00:17:42):
I know, or when I'm super high.
(00:17:45):
Yeah, but only like certain ways.
(00:17:51):
Oh, interesting.
(00:17:52):
Like, yeah, it's more like, I don't, yeah, different consumptions.
(00:18:01):
You have kind of different reactions.
(00:18:03):
Oh, do tell.
(00:18:04):
I don't know how detailed I can go on here.
(00:18:07):
As detailed as you are.
(00:18:09):
Well, you said they're weird about that.
(00:18:11):
I don't know if they're... Oh.
(00:18:13):
Just use... So, like, when you're using the water pipe... Uh-huh.
(00:18:20):
It is very different than when you do the dabs versus when we chain smoke joints.
(00:18:26):
Yeah.
(00:18:27):
Or just hit the pen a bunch.
(00:18:29):
Yeah.
(00:18:30):
Like, your reactions are very different.
(00:18:33):
So, what...
(00:18:39):
Pen gets you air-heady.
(00:18:43):
And then joints, you wanted to either talk a ton or eat a ton.
(00:18:49):
I know.
(00:18:50):
I always want to eat a ton.
(00:18:53):
We literally had to make a rule that he has to help me enforce.
(00:18:59):
You literally did it last night.
(00:19:01):
Yeah, I didn't feel good about it.
(00:19:03):
No, and it's so... It was one of those moments... I feel like a pet from my fiancé.
(00:19:08):
No, it was... I'm telling you not to eat.
(00:19:11):
No, that's because you are... You're a good fiancé.
(00:19:14):
That's what I needed because I didn't need any food.
(00:19:19):
I did need the pickle juice, which was literally what I needed.
(00:19:24):
It was so perfect.
(00:19:27):
But...
(00:19:28):
I didn't actually need any food.
(00:19:29):
I wasn't actually hungry.
(00:19:30):
But...
(00:19:34):
And you remembered and you also remembered even when I say no or say I want it anyway,
(00:19:43):
you have to,
(00:19:44):
like,
(00:19:44):
stand strong because that's one of the things we've been trying to work on with
(00:19:47):
each other,
(00:19:48):
just,
(00:19:48):
like,
(00:19:49):
holding each other accountable because that's what real partners do.
(00:19:54):
Right.
(00:19:54):
We make...
(00:19:56):
Yeah, we make a lot of, you know, decisions while we're smoking.
(00:20:00):
And then when we're sober, we do not enforce them, even when sometimes we should.
(00:20:07):
Yeah.
(00:20:08):
We've been doing a lot better with that.
(00:20:09):
Oh, for sure.
(00:20:10):
It's still challenging with the whole food thing.
(00:20:13):
The food thing is the most challenging thing,
(00:20:15):
and it has been the most challenging thing probably for most of my adult life.
(00:20:19):
Right.
(00:20:21):
Like... Just knowing your history and everything, it makes it really...
(00:20:26):
It feels like a lot of weight on my shoulders when I tell you, like, don't eat.
(00:20:33):
Because I don't want you to, like, ever think that it's anything coming from me.
(00:20:39):
It's coming because you told me.
(00:20:41):
Yeah.
(00:20:42):
Okay.
(00:20:42):
So what's really interesting is all of a sudden it was,
(00:20:47):
like,
(00:20:48):
I obviously rewired this,
(00:20:50):
which is incredible.
(00:20:51):
But, like, you...
(00:20:56):
doing things that make me a better person, make me the person that I want to be, you know?
(00:21:01):
Like, you're holding me accountable because I want to be held accountable to who future Taylor is.
(00:21:08):
Like, the person she wants to be has to do those things to get to be that person.
(00:21:13):
And I don't get there by self-sabotaging myself,
(00:21:17):
which is literally just what I'm doing with all of those other things.
(00:21:21):
And drinking...
(00:21:25):
Like, tonight, I'm going to get pounded and we're done.
(00:21:29):
We're done.
(00:21:31):
Yeah, I think you want to get high one last time and then done.
(00:21:35):
I did quit for a month, though.
(00:21:39):
Correct.
(00:21:40):
No, I was just using that as an example because that's, like, a very common thing.
(00:21:44):
Yeah, I know.
(00:21:45):
No, you in no way are addicted to alcohol.
(00:21:49):
No, I actually, I was thinking about it.
(00:21:51):
I think it has to do with the carbonation.
(00:21:54):
Well, that's not good.
(00:21:55):
Go get a fuzzy water.
(00:21:58):
Yeah, I know.
(00:21:58):
I think it's because it's different than the fuzzy water and it's different from soda.
(00:22:04):
I don't know.
(00:22:07):
I think you like the effects of alcohol, too.
(00:22:10):
I mean, if we're being real.
(00:22:13):
It's probably because I'm not so afraid of throwing up anymore.
(00:22:15):
Yeah, and that allows you to enjoy alcohol more.
(00:22:19):
Yeah.
(00:22:20):
Yeah, I'm just with both of your parents drinking so much.
(00:22:24):
That's the only thing that gets me...
(00:22:27):
Yeah,
(00:22:27):
well,
(00:22:27):
exactly,
(00:22:28):
which is why I'm like,
(00:22:29):
okay,
(00:22:31):
I don't want to continually...
(00:22:34):
Plus,
(00:22:34):
didn't you get that lemonade for me?
(00:22:36):
I did, but you said you weren't going to drink it.
(00:22:38):
Not last night.
(00:22:39):
Maybe I'll drink it in the future.
(00:22:41):
Okay, that's fine, too.
(00:22:43):
Then I won't.
(00:22:45):
But anyway, what I was saying is, wow, huge digression.
(00:22:49):
Yeah.
(00:22:50):
What I was saying is you hold me accountable.
(00:22:57):
And I have never before had a partner that truly holds me accountable that isn't my female best friends.
(00:23:11):
And even then, like, you know, the main one.
(00:23:18):
so like she does but um I've never had the ability to be okay being held
(00:23:33):
accountable so that's the other aspect like it doesn't feel like a personal attack
(00:23:41):
because you're literally doing what I asked you to do
(00:23:44):
Yeah, we talked about it ahead of time.
(00:23:47):
Exactly.
(00:23:48):
And it's like, I know he's not doing it because you are wanting me to feel a certain way.
(00:23:56):
You're only doing it because that's literally what I told you to do.
(00:24:00):
Yeah.
(00:24:00):
So that was really cool just to start realizing a lot of that stuff.
(00:24:06):
Like the other night when I don't know what I did.
(00:24:08):
I did something.
(00:24:10):
And you're like, that wasn't cool.
(00:24:11):
I was like, oh, you're right.
(00:24:14):
I'll do that again.
(00:24:15):
I'm sorry.
(00:24:16):
And that was that.
(00:24:18):
Yeah.
(00:24:18):
And I said, thank you for pointing that out.
(00:24:21):
Which, a year ago, that would not have been the case.
(00:24:25):
No.
(00:24:26):
For me either, though.
(00:24:27):
Like, I think we're both getting better at communicating.
(00:24:31):
Ugh.
(00:24:31):
And by doing that, it prevents a lot of other drama and bullshit.
(00:24:38):
Like the fucking butter incident?
(00:24:40):
What was the butter incident?
(00:24:44):
You remember we had a whole fucking like multi-day fight over... Not a fight.
(00:24:49):
It was just like... It was a fight over how much better I put on the Pop-Tart.
(00:24:57):
It was not a fight because I was not aware.
(00:25:00):
Yeah, that's me.
(00:25:01):
I was not aware I did anything wrong.
(00:25:05):
So... I didn't know you called it a fight in your head even.
(00:25:11):
Yeah.
(00:25:13):
I mean, I was coming at you with a fist in my head, so... Right, I was just unaware of what I did wrong.
(00:25:19):
Yeah, and you didn't understand why I was so pissy.
(00:25:21):
Yeah.
(00:25:22):
I was just having a war.
(00:25:24):
Until this day, until right now, I didn't know it was multi-day.
(00:25:33):
Yeah, that sounds about right.
(00:25:35):
I think... I said something recently that, like, I thought I couldn't pretend...
(00:25:42):
And it's not that I couldn't pretend.
(00:25:44):
It's just that I spent most of my life living a pretend life in my head.
(00:25:52):
Because I was so wrapped up in everything internally.
(00:25:56):
And... I could literally make myself believe anything.
(00:26:02):
That's crazy.
(00:26:05):
Yeah.
(00:26:06):
I think almost literally.
(00:26:08):
Probably.
(00:26:08):
Probably.
(00:26:08):
So, like, having...
(00:26:13):
So you would just substitute reality with whatever you made up in your head?
(00:26:19):
Yeah.
(00:26:20):
Oh.
(00:26:20):
It wasn't always consciously.
(00:26:22):
Oh.
(00:26:23):
Yeah, that's the worst part.
(00:26:25):
No, I'm very aware of it now.
(00:26:27):
Because, like...
(00:26:30):
My brain every now and then still wants to go there.
(00:26:34):
But now I know.
(00:26:35):
So I'm like, no, we're not going to do that.
(00:26:37):
Yeah, you like stop yourself from like creating a false reality sort of thing.
(00:26:42):
Yeah, which just causes me to go insanely internal.
(00:26:45):
Because it's not a healthy false reality.
(00:26:48):
Yeah.
(00:26:49):
It's a very dysfunctional false reality.
(00:26:51):
That's so interesting.
(00:26:54):
Yeah.
(00:26:56):
There's so many things where...
(00:27:01):
I thought back on them and I was like,
(00:27:04):
oh,
(00:27:05):
they definitely were not doing what I thought they were doing.
(00:27:09):
Oh, it's the thing where you jump to conclusions, but you jump to the wrong conclusions.
(00:27:17):
Or I feel personally... I thought they were personally attacking me.
(00:27:21):
That's a huge one.
(00:27:23):
Yeah, all of that kind of stuff.
(00:27:24):
That's something we've run into a lot.
(00:27:26):
Oh, yeah.
(00:27:26):
Like,
(00:27:26):
it's...
(00:27:27):
Like,
(00:27:27):
this is recent that I'm finally,
(00:27:29):
like,
(00:27:29):
really...
(00:27:30):
Not the false reality stuff,
(00:27:32):
but,
(00:27:32):
like...
(00:27:32):
The jump into the...
(00:27:34):
Like,
(00:27:35):
they're attacking me versus they're just...
(00:27:37):
Exactly.
(00:27:38):
Because that's a multi-faceted trigger right there.
(00:27:41):
Like, there's, like, multiple reasons why I do that.
(00:27:43):
Right.
(00:27:44):
It's so...
(00:27:46):
But, yeah, it's really interesting that I am capable of doing that.
(00:27:55):
I now understand what my grandpa meant when he said that I have a very vibrant imagination.
(00:28:04):
Oh, it wasn't the compliment like he thought it was.
(00:28:08):
I think he meant it both ways because he did find the minds of sociopaths and psychopaths
(00:28:15):
fascinating and he worked with schizophrenia patients and bipolar patients so where
(00:28:21):
do you fit in there no OCD ah yeah with an overactive imagination because I'm a
(00:28:32):
girl and that's apparently what girls do yeah I mean you're not quite the typical
(00:28:39):
woman though ooh how so
(00:28:46):
That sounds so interesting.
(00:28:48):
I mean, I think just generally, like, you're a lot more outgoing and adventurous and open.
(00:29:02):
You don't seem to have a very closed-off mindset, except for when you're in certain moods.
(00:29:08):
You get into these stubborn little moods where...
(00:29:12):
Nothing no one says, nothing anyone says will change your mind.
(00:29:19):
But that's okay, because I think we all have that.
(00:29:26):
Oh, for sure.
(00:29:27):
I know I do that when I shut everything off.
(00:29:30):
Oh, yeah, you definitely have a lot of those.
(00:29:34):
Yeah.
(00:29:36):
But that's okay.
(00:29:36):
We've also learned that, like,
(00:29:39):
I think we've learned pretty well that there's a lot of topics,
(00:29:42):
not a lot of topics,
(00:29:43):
but there's a few key things that we don't quite see eye to eye on,
(00:29:48):
but that's okay.
(00:29:49):
We don't have to, it's nothing like.
(00:29:54):
Well,
(00:29:54):
yeah,
(00:29:54):
because I think it's like anything else,
(00:29:57):
you know,
(00:29:58):
like a little bit of difference is a good thing.
(00:30:04):
Yeah, for sure.
(00:30:05):
You know, just a jelly and jelly sandwich.
(00:30:09):
At least they should.
(00:30:11):
Peanut butter and jelly is where it's at.
(00:30:14):
Lou will eat a jelly sandwich.
(00:30:16):
I'm pretty sure I also could give her a mayonnaise sandwich.
(00:30:19):
She is 100% my kid.
(00:30:21):
She didn't like the sandwich I packed the other day at her lunch,
(00:30:23):
but she licked all the mayonnaise off the bread.
(00:30:24):
It is a ketchup sandwich, so.
(00:30:29):
I love that.
(00:30:30):
Yeah.
(00:30:31):
I think I knew that, because that's why she gets the hot dog bun, so she can do it.
(00:30:39):
They both did the corn dog thing.
(00:30:41):
Yeah.
(00:30:42):
That's so crazy.
(00:30:43):
So weird.
(00:30:47):
What's the purpose?
(00:30:48):
I don't know.
(00:30:48):
They're so funny.
(00:30:49):
And they're so funny when they're like,
(00:30:52):
conspiring together i know i love watching them like work together i know i can't
(00:30:59):
wait to watch them get older together it's gonna be so much fun yeah when and for
(00:31:04):
uh and for a time yes we are there is gonna be so much attitude in this house yeah
(00:31:13):
there already is i know i know it's already a lot
(00:31:22):
Like, every single thing Lou does right now comes with a sigh.
(00:31:28):
I know.
(00:31:30):
I'm like, what the fuck?
(00:31:32):
And she death looks me so good sometimes.
(00:31:36):
Oh, yeah.
(00:31:36):
She definitely got that one from me, too.
(00:31:38):
I know.
(00:31:38):
She gives me just the meanest, serious little looks.
(00:31:42):
And I'm like,
(00:31:43):
it's almost hilarious because it's like,
(00:31:45):
it's so mean,
(00:31:47):
but it's attached to such a little person.
(00:31:52):
I'm like, oh, no, you're going to beat me up.
(00:31:56):
I have.
(00:31:57):
There's a few pictures of her when she was,
(00:31:59):
like,
(00:31:59):
really little and then,
(00:32:01):
like,
(00:32:01):
around 18 months and two and a half of her making that face.
(00:32:04):
Yeah.
(00:32:05):
She's been able to make that mean mug from day one.
(00:32:08):
I wonder who she gets that from.
(00:32:12):
Me.
(00:32:12):
And do you know who I get it from?
(00:32:14):
Your mom?
(00:32:15):
Yeah.
(00:32:16):
Oh.
(00:32:18):
Well, luckily I don't think they're listening, so... No.
(00:32:22):
I mean, but she already knows I get my RBF from her.
(00:32:25):
Yeah, she has it rough.
(00:32:27):
Oh, she knows.
(00:32:28):
She's very aware.
(00:32:29):
I think she gave me a warning one time about it.
(00:32:33):
Really?
(00:32:34):
Yeah, I think she said something like, I know I look grumpy, but I'm not always grumpy or something.
(00:32:40):
I look angry, but I'm not always angry.
(00:32:43):
Yeah.
(00:32:44):
Yeah, yeah.
(00:32:45):
Her's...
(00:32:47):
I don't know if hers is worse than mine.
(00:32:49):
Oh, yeah.
(00:32:50):
Oh, okay.
(00:32:51):
Well, that's good to know.
(00:32:53):
I think that makes me feel a little bit better.
(00:32:56):
Oh, good.
(00:32:59):
So we are 33 minutes in.
(00:33:01):
Yes, we are.
(00:33:01):
How long are your podcasts normally?
(00:33:04):
Your videos are pretty short.
(00:33:07):
No.
(00:33:09):
So when I have people on, they've all been like...
(00:33:14):
around the first one was 40 minutes because we got cut off by zoom oh no yeah it
(00:33:20):
was super shitty i'm gonna have megan back on because i have some workarounds now
(00:33:27):
um and then yeah so like 40 minutes to an hour okay so it's up to you though oh
(00:33:35):
i'll go as long as you want i'm feeling great right now and i'm just rambling
(00:33:39):
that's what she said
(00:33:41):
Really?
(00:33:43):
I mean, you do make me ramble sometimes.
(00:33:45):
Okay.
(00:33:47):
Sometimes you do.
(00:33:48):
Yeah, you speak other languages sometimes.
(00:33:51):
Wait, was that English?
(00:33:55):
I would just keep going.
(00:33:59):
Yeah.
(00:34:01):
Wait, do I really?
(00:34:02):
Do you think all the things that you yell out are words?
(00:34:10):
Yeah.
(00:34:11):
Really?
(00:34:13):
I mean, unless I'm just yelling.
(00:34:15):
Because sometimes I'm just yelling.
(00:34:18):
Okay, yeah.
(00:34:19):
I'm probably talking about those sounds.
(00:34:20):
Okay.
(00:34:20):
You make different sounds.
(00:34:23):
Like, it's not English.
(00:34:28):
Yeah, it's been compared to Chewbacca before.
(00:34:31):
Ew.
(00:34:32):
I know.
(00:34:33):
It's not like Chewbacca at all.
(00:34:36):
No?
(00:34:37):
No.
(00:34:37):
What?
(00:34:38):
That's good.
(00:34:39):
What kind of Chewbacca?
(00:34:43):
At least not with me.
(00:34:45):
That's good.
(00:34:47):
That's very good.
(00:34:49):
Sometimes I feel like I sound like a cow.
(00:34:51):
No.
(00:34:53):
That's good.
(00:34:54):
Yeah.
(00:34:56):
I mean, an injured cat maybe, but not... Somehow that's so much better.
(00:35:02):
Oh, I know.
(00:35:03):
It's just a joke.
(00:35:07):
Interesting.
(00:35:09):
I mean,
(00:35:10):
I knew,
(00:35:10):
I will say that,
(00:35:11):
like,
(00:35:12):
you evoke things from me that have never been evoked in my entire life.
(00:35:17):
Ever.
(00:35:17):
So.
(00:35:17):
Yeah, that's right.
(00:35:19):
I love you so much.
(00:35:23):
I love you.
(00:35:29):
Okay.
(00:35:29):
So, there's two ways we could go with this next.
(00:35:32):
Okay.
(00:35:34):
We could go more on the relationship-y side, or we could go more on, like,
(00:35:42):
the conspiracy theories you believe side.
(00:35:44):
Oh, God.
(00:35:46):
Or, like, the future we want to build.
(00:35:51):
Or I can just ask you 20 questions.
(00:35:54):
Just ask me questions.
(00:35:55):
I think that'll probably get... Like, what is the purpose?
(00:36:01):
Like, what's your goal with this podcast?
(00:36:04):
To get to know people more, to learn more things, to have a space for people to...
(00:36:11):
I meant this one specifically.
(00:36:13):
Oh.
(00:36:13):
Sorry, I don't think we actually went over that.
(00:36:17):
Because I said it doesn't really, like, I just chat.
(00:36:20):
Like, there's never any, like, real agenda.
(00:36:25):
I kind of just let things.
(00:36:27):
Right, I understand that.
(00:36:29):
Like, that's, like, how it goes during the podcast.
(00:36:33):
Like, this has been literally us chilling.
(00:36:36):
Yeah, for sure.
(00:36:37):
In bed.
(00:36:37):
Yeah, we're literally in bed.
(00:36:39):
We are sitting up.
(00:36:40):
Yes.
(00:36:42):
I'm sitting up more now.
(00:36:43):
You are.
(00:36:45):
But, like, was the goal to get them to know me?
(00:36:49):
Was it to talk about our relationship?
(00:36:55):
Yes and no.
(00:36:56):
It was more, like, I'm open to all of that.
(00:36:59):
I just didn't know how comfortable and how much.
(00:37:04):
And, like, I don't want to, like,
(00:37:10):
four people out of their mind by us, like, being mushy-gushy over each other.
(00:37:16):
Well, here, just ask me 20 questions, and I'll do my best to answer them.
(00:37:21):
Okay.
(00:37:27):
And then, have you answered a bunch of questions about yourself on here?
(00:37:33):
I have not.
(00:37:34):
Okay, so ask away, and I will ask away.
(00:37:38):
Oh, I'm so excited about this.
(00:37:41):
Okay.
(00:37:46):
Given that you're colorblind, how does color impact the way you see life?
(00:37:59):
So that's a hard one because I've only known how I see things.
(00:38:07):
Yeah.
(00:38:08):
So to me,
(00:38:12):
I see all the colors that are there because I don't know,
(00:38:16):
like,
(00:38:18):
I don't think I could see differently,
(00:38:22):
you know,
(00:38:22):
like,
(00:38:23):
like what green is to me,
(00:38:26):
it's probably not green to you,
(00:38:28):
but that's all I've ever known.
(00:38:29):
Yeah.
(00:38:30):
That is green.
(00:38:31):
Does it, is it still as moving?
(00:38:33):
So like if someone's looking at something that's very like colorful or the colors like,
(00:38:38):
like in a painting,
(00:38:39):
is it the same for you?
(00:38:41):
I think it is to some extent.
(00:38:45):
Because, again, bright colors, I believe, are still bright colors to me.
(00:38:54):
It's just my max brightness, maybe it's lower than yours.
(00:38:59):
Probably, yeah.
(00:39:01):
But to me, when I see something that's crazy colorful or something, it's still...
(00:39:07):
colorful to me because that's all i've ever done yeah okay maybe i don't see all
(00:39:12):
the shades or all you know quite the same level of detail yeah like the difference
(00:39:18):
between sunshine yellow and butter yellow right a lot of those especially if
(00:39:23):
they're close to each other they all kind of mesh together um
(00:39:29):
But I can still see, you know, the yellow.
(00:39:32):
Or like when I see a sunset, it still looks very bright and vibrant and colorful.
(00:39:38):
Okay, that's what I was wondering.
(00:39:40):
It's probably just...
(00:39:43):
different yeah like i've never quite seen the sunset that has evoked crazy emotions
(00:39:53):
so maybe there's something there but you know and they have those they have those
(00:39:58):
glasses right right and i think the glasses you have to get like the lenses that
(00:40:06):
are for your specific version of color blindness oh i'm sure and there's a few
(00:40:10):
others
(00:40:12):
I know I'm red-green,
(00:40:13):
and I think it was like blue-yellow or purple-yellow,
(00:40:16):
but I would have to do their little quiz.
(00:40:20):
Because what do you see purple as?
(00:40:24):
I believe it's,
(00:40:25):
again,
(00:40:25):
it's purple to me,
(00:40:26):
but,
(00:40:27):
I mean,
(00:40:27):
you've seen it when I get,
(00:40:28):
like,
(00:40:29):
pink and purple confused.
(00:40:30):
That's true, yeah.
(00:40:31):
Like.
(00:40:32):
Yes.
(00:40:33):
So, to me, I guess.
(00:40:34):
Reds are really hard for you.
(00:40:36):
Yeah, reds and, like, red green is, I think, the main, the main.
(00:40:41):
Yeah, which is so interesting because you wear a lot of green shirts, but they look fantastic on you.
(00:40:45):
Yeah.
(00:40:47):
Yeah.
(00:40:47):
Is that why you wear a lot of green shirts?
(00:40:49):
I think it's just habit from the military.
(00:40:52):
Oh, yeah.
(00:40:52):
Okay.
(00:40:53):
That makes sense.
(00:40:55):
It's kind of the same color as my undershirts were, so I just feel comfortable wearing them.
(00:40:59):
Yeah, that makes sense.
(00:41:01):
That makes sense.
(00:41:02):
Those shirts are so soft.
(00:41:04):
Yeah, I am a creature of habit.
(00:41:07):
I mean, I'm the same way.
(00:41:09):
I wear the same thing.
(00:41:10):
Yeah.
(00:41:13):
If I'm not leaving the house, if I can get away with wearing a dress, I will.
(00:41:16):
Mm-hmm.
(00:41:17):
You know?
(00:41:17):
That is true.
(00:41:18):
Like, that was my preferred clothing option.
(00:41:24):
Yeah, I'd never wear dress.
(00:41:25):
Mm-hmm.
(00:41:26):
I just hate pants so much.
(00:41:28):
Unless they're workout pants.
(00:41:30):
And even then, like the workout leggings, I'm super picky on.
(00:41:35):
Like you are with your shorts.
(00:41:37):
Like your Under Armour shorts.
(00:41:39):
Oh, yeah.
(00:41:39):
I'm super picky about pants.
(00:41:42):
Because like the waistbands.
(00:41:45):
Oh, I know.
(00:41:45):
That's why half of them don't have waistbands.
(00:41:48):
Those are my pajama pants, which is almost worse.
(00:41:51):
Except for I really wish I could get like 20 more pairs of those.
(00:41:57):
orangey pinkish victoria's secret ones that i have oh yeah if i could get like 10
(00:42:03):
pairs of those and that's all i had it would be perfect literally perfect no i like
(00:42:08):
your little button up with the shorts oh yeah those are good too i've got a lot of
(00:42:14):
those now i know they're magical i was telling katie about that because god damn it
(00:42:22):
okay she's probably fine with it
(00:42:27):
And this is what happens when we just start talking about thinking.
(00:42:30):
Yeah, exactly.
(00:42:32):
Okay, so that's the colorblindness.
(00:42:34):
Question number two.
(00:42:35):
It's your turn to ask me a question.
(00:42:37):
Ooh, that's true.
(00:42:39):
Okay, so what has been your favorite part about being on Substack?
(00:42:49):
Oh, just the fucking people I've met.
(00:42:51):
Like, 100%.
(00:42:52):
I have so many friends now.
(00:42:56):
I literally... There's this one woman who literally feels...
(00:43:07):
so motherly to me.
(00:43:08):
Yeah.
(00:43:09):
In such a good and healthy and positive way.
(00:43:12):
And I'm so excited to interview her next week.
(00:43:15):
Oh, that's awesome.
(00:43:16):
Yeah.
(00:43:17):
But I just met some really, like, really fucking cool people.
(00:43:21):
And, like, Megan, that's how I met Megan.
(00:43:24):
And I swear we are related somehow.
(00:43:29):
Like, somehow.
(00:43:33):
It's crazy.
(00:43:34):
Because we are so similar.
(00:43:35):
Yeah.
(00:43:36):
She literally called me her favorite.
(00:43:38):
Called me her favorite.
(00:43:40):
I'm her favorite domestic hoe.
(00:43:44):
Because she had this whole thing about cauliflower and how she hates cutting it
(00:43:50):
because all the things go everywhere.
(00:43:52):
And I was like, I should have said professional domestic hoe.
(00:43:57):
But I said domestic hoe popping in.
(00:44:00):
Just cut off the stem and then you break it.
(00:44:04):
then it doesn't make a mess.
(00:44:07):
And she was like, how, how have I never thought about that?
(00:44:10):
I'm totally going to try that.
(00:44:12):
But yeah, it's just really cool.
(00:44:14):
The people, the people are really, it's amazing.
(00:44:18):
That's awesome.
(00:44:19):
I am so elevated right now.
(00:44:22):
Same.
(00:44:24):
Okay.
(00:44:24):
It's my turn, right?
(00:44:26):
Yes.
(00:44:27):
I don't think we're going to get to 20.
(00:44:29):
No, probably not.
(00:44:30):
That's okay.
(00:44:32):
We can talk as long as we want.
(00:44:33):
I can break it up into two episodes if we want to.
(00:44:36):
Okay.
(00:44:37):
Yeah.
(00:44:39):
It's probably going to be until I get hungry.
(00:44:41):
I'm cool with whatever.
(00:44:47):
Cuckoo.
(00:44:47):
All right, question number two.
(00:44:50):
Okay, question number two.
(00:44:56):
What has been your least favorite date we've been on?
(00:44:59):
Oh, I think I know the answer to this one.
(00:45:01):
That's a tough one.
(00:45:10):
That's a really tough one, actually.
(00:45:11):
What did you think it was?
(00:45:13):
The fucking night where I failed to plan basically anything and the whole date fell apart.
(00:45:20):
I almost don't count.
(00:45:23):
We just ended up at Nola's.
(00:45:24):
Yeah.
(00:45:25):
Which, by the way, if you're ever in Tulsa, you have to go to Nola's.
(00:45:28):
It's 100% one of the best restaurants I've ever eaten at.
(00:45:31):
And I've eaten at a lot of restaurants around the United States, Canada, and London.
(00:45:39):
Yeah, I mean, Nola's one of the top restaurants for sure.
(00:45:43):
Yeah, you've eaten at a lot of places too.
(00:45:45):
Yeah, I mean, I've eaten all along the East Coast and a little bit West Coast.
(00:45:51):
Like all the Southern West Coast.
(00:45:52):
Yeah.
(00:45:54):
Like, you got the real good Mexican food.
(00:45:56):
Oh, yeah.
(00:45:58):
You had really good Mexican.
(00:46:00):
Oh, I bet.
(00:46:00):
I bet the tortillas were on fire.
(00:46:02):
Oh, yeah.
(00:46:03):
And then the meat.
(00:46:05):
Oh, my God.
(00:46:06):
Oh, yeah.
(00:46:07):
And then the homemade sauces.
(00:46:09):
Like, they didn't make it anymore.
(00:46:11):
Yeah.
(00:46:12):
It was... I miss... There was this burrito place.
(00:46:18):
Literally, my mom contemplated...
(00:46:21):
sending my sister with a, like a dry ice cooler or something.
(00:46:24):
So she could bring back these burritos.
(00:46:26):
They're that good.
(00:46:27):
Oh yeah.
(00:46:28):
Yeah.
(00:46:29):
They're, they're just, oh my God.
(00:46:31):
question I didn't I don't think you know I asked you a question about what is your
(00:46:34):
least favorite date and you said oh it didn't count you didn't really count yeah I
(00:46:38):
don't really count that necessarily as like our dates because our dates are a lot
(00:46:42):
more planned out and you know well it was supposed to be because we did end up
(00:46:46):
going to the shooting range yes just a different day yes um so I would say least
(00:46:55):
favorite
(00:46:59):
That's a hard one.
(00:47:08):
I really enjoyed our date.
(00:47:10):
I know.
(00:47:11):
Me too.
(00:47:16):
The... Oh, no.
(00:47:18):
This one's easy.
(00:47:20):
It was the... OKC... Oh, yes!
(00:47:25):
It was the OKC...
(00:47:28):
The concert.
(00:47:29):
The concert.
(00:47:30):
The fucking concert.
(00:47:31):
Oh my god.
(00:47:32):
That was awful.
(00:47:33):
The whole thing.
(00:47:34):
It was like, what, like a hundred degrees that day?
(00:47:37):
It was so hot.
(00:47:40):
And humid.
(00:47:40):
And humid.
(00:47:41):
I chose to wear a skirt.
(00:47:43):
We were sitting on a lawn.
(00:47:44):
We didn't have chairs.
(00:47:49):
We did not prepare nearly enough.
(00:47:52):
No.
(00:47:52):
The music was not great.
(00:47:54):
No, it was because I bought the wrong tickets to the wrong concert, which is so frustrating.
(00:48:00):
That's totally a move you do, though.
(00:48:02):
Literally.
(00:48:03):
That's how I got locked out of the house the other day.
(00:48:07):
Like you said, spacey.
(00:48:09):
It happens when I'm sober, too.
(00:48:13):
It's very frustrating.
(00:48:15):
yeah so that i mean the ice cream almost salvaged it almost but it's still like we
(00:48:22):
let the concert like yeah if that if that it was like we didn't even stay for young
(00:48:30):
and the giant like because i didn't want to i was like i'm so hot this is not worth
(00:48:35):
it and like i got to hear talk perform the one song that i wanted to hear
(00:48:42):
And he's not best life.
(00:48:45):
I'm sorry if he somehow ever hears this.
(00:48:49):
He was probably going to get better because he's new.
(00:48:53):
And it was literally 100 fucking degrees outside.
(00:48:55):
It was so hot.
(00:48:58):
They were playing in the amphitheater.
(00:49:02):
Yeah, that was definitely the worst day.
(00:49:04):
Yeah.
(00:49:05):
Yeah.
(00:49:06):
Okay, your turn.
(00:49:07):
Okay.
(00:49:08):
Hmm.
(00:49:12):
Which direction do we want to go?
(00:49:15):
What was your most favorite date?
(00:49:19):
You stole my next question.
(00:49:21):
My most favorite date.
(00:49:22):
Probably the one where we got engaged, to be honest.
(00:49:25):
Okay, that's a good one.
(00:49:28):
Yeah, that's fair.
(00:49:29):
Yeah.
(00:49:30):
That was a good date, though.
(00:49:31):
It really was.
(00:49:32):
I had a lot of fun.
(00:49:33):
I think the most funnest, though.
(00:49:36):
The most funnest?
(00:49:37):
Yeah, the most funnest.
(00:49:39):
God.
(00:49:40):
God.
(00:49:47):
We've had some really, really fun dates.
(00:49:51):
I know.
(00:49:53):
Like, we've gone to the fucking comedy club and saw A.J.
(00:49:57):
Wilkerson.
(00:49:58):
I know, that one was pretty sick.
(00:50:01):
We... The go-karting?
(00:50:03):
The go-karting.
(00:50:05):
Oh, that might be... That might be, like...
(00:50:09):
The axe throwing was up there for me, too.
(00:50:12):
I know.
(00:50:12):
You definitely enjoyed that more than I did.
(00:50:18):
But I enjoyed how much you were enjoying it.
(00:50:21):
And it was still a lot of fun.
(00:50:24):
And it was like... I just leaned into being shitty.
(00:50:29):
Which works for me.
(00:50:31):
I kind of like that gig sometimes.
(00:50:32):
I think...
(00:50:33):
You did not lean into it because you got super grumpy because you weren't very good.
(00:50:38):
Did I?
(00:50:39):
Yeah.
(00:50:40):
That's on track, yeah.
(00:50:41):
Yeah, you're super competitive.
(00:50:43):
It's so frustrating because I suck at a lot of stuff.
(00:50:46):
Only, like, physical things.
(00:50:49):
Yeah, which is frustrating when your partner is good at physical things.
(00:50:54):
Like...
(00:50:59):
Yeah.
(00:51:00):
It's so frustrating.
(00:51:01):
Kind of just naturally good at it.
(00:51:03):
I know.
(00:51:04):
That's how I feel about the other stuff.
(00:51:06):
I'm naturally good at that.
(00:51:07):
The physical stuff, I am not, which is interesting because my dad is, but, oh, my mom's not.
(00:51:16):
Yeah.
(00:51:18):
I feel like you take after her quite a bit.
(00:51:20):
Yeah.
(00:51:22):
I did get my dad's hair, though, which is cool.
(00:51:25):
That's where I get the curly hair from.
(00:51:26):
Oh, that's cool.
(00:51:27):
Yeah.
(00:51:28):
My grandma's hair was so curly.
(00:51:30):
Okay, so I answered your question, right?
(00:51:34):
You did not.
(00:51:37):
You said the go-karting might be it, though.
(00:51:41):
Well, no, I said, oh, the most funnest, yeah.
(00:51:45):
The most funnest.
(00:51:51):
Yeah, probably the go-karting.
(00:51:54):
Okay.
(00:51:56):
i really want to go somewhere where we can go faster or have less people maybe yeah
(00:52:05):
we will definitely look into once the weather cools down a bit oh for sure yeah
(00:52:11):
would not be i literally like got a sunburn i think
(00:52:16):
When we were out there when it was hot that one time with all of your coworkers.
(00:52:20):
And it wasn't even that hot.
(00:52:21):
I know, exactly.
(00:52:22):
But they're just, like, sun suckers.
(00:52:27):
They really should put solar panels on those things.
(00:52:30):
Yeah.
(00:52:32):
I'm really surprised they haven't figured out how to make,
(00:52:34):
like,
(00:52:34):
paint that has,
(00:52:36):
like...
(00:52:37):
Solar panels in it?
(00:52:39):
Yeah, like, flecks.
(00:52:42):
I don't really figure out how to put fucking glitter in paint.
(00:52:45):
They put it in house paint now.
(00:52:47):
Glitter doesn't have any technology in it.
(00:52:49):
I know, but I think it's going to get there.
(00:52:55):
Yeah.
(00:52:56):
Roll on solar panels.
(00:52:58):
Maybe one day it will be a thing.
(00:53:00):
That would be so fucking cool.
(00:53:02):
We're officially at stone.
(00:53:06):
Yeah, we are.
(00:53:08):
I feel a little bit like Rick and Morty.
(00:53:10):
God, that would be a fun podcast.
(00:53:13):
Rick and Morty podcast.
(00:53:14):
Yeah.
(00:53:15):
Or even just getting to talk to the guys who do the voices of them.
(00:53:19):
I'm pretty sure it was, like, a pedophile.
(00:53:24):
No!
(00:53:25):
Yeah, I think that was the whole thing.
(00:53:28):
Lame!
(00:53:28):
Why are all the cool people pedos?
(00:53:30):
I don't know.
(00:53:32):
Because, like, that's what What's-His-Face was from... What's-His-Face.
(00:53:37):
Again, all the cool people are pedos, so you gotta be a little more specific.
(00:53:41):
Yeah.
(00:53:43):
I mean, that was Bill Cosby.
(00:53:44):
You forgot Bill Cosby?
(00:53:47):
No, I didn't forget about him.
(00:53:49):
How can you forget about him?
(00:53:50):
He tried to defend himself.
(00:53:53):
Very poorly.
(00:53:54):
I just don't know his name.
(00:53:57):
The guy from the ranch in that 70s show.
(00:54:00):
Oh, I know who you're talking about.
(00:54:03):
Yeah.
(00:54:04):
I don't know his name.
(00:54:07):
Okay, we should move on.
(00:54:09):
All right, is it your turn to ask a question?
(00:54:11):
I think so.
(00:54:11):
I think it's my turn to ask a question.
(00:54:13):
All right, I say we ask one more question and we call it because we're... One more each?
(00:54:19):
Yeah, one more each.
(00:54:19):
Okay, I like that idea.
(00:54:21):
I'm getting very hungry, so that's perfect.
(00:54:31):
Tell me everything that you can remember that made you fall in love with me.
(00:54:35):
Oh, goodness.
(00:54:38):
All right.
(00:54:39):
How long do you have?
(00:54:41):
All right.
(00:54:44):
So I'm going to get mushy.
(00:54:52):
I pretty much have to get mushy to answer this question.
(00:54:55):
I think that's fine.
(00:54:57):
As long as you're fine with it.
(00:54:58):
I'm fine with it.
(00:54:59):
Good.
(00:54:59):
You're cooking.
(00:55:01):
You're cooking.
(00:55:07):
all because the cinnamon rolls yeah the cinnamon rolls did it the cinnamon rolls I
(00:55:13):
brought him cinnamon rolls on Christmas day yeah I drove all the way to this house
(00:55:18):
to bring him cinnamon rolls yeah all the effort you put in like driving cinnamon
(00:55:25):
rolls out to make Christmas day like the way you make me feel when I'm with you
(00:55:36):
The sex.
(00:55:37):
Oh, my God.
(00:55:39):
Like, still mind-blowing.
(00:55:41):
Still mind-blowing.
(00:55:43):
Holy fucking shit.
(00:55:47):
I mean, it's just everything.
(00:55:48):
Like, you remembering little things for me.
(00:55:55):
You going out of your way to just...
(00:56:02):
like,
(00:56:03):
little things,
(00:56:04):
like,
(00:56:05):
you bring me lunch when I forget,
(00:56:07):
like,
(00:56:09):
you give me space when I need it,
(00:56:14):
you make me happy when I'm sad,
(00:56:16):
like,
(00:56:17):
there's really never a time that I don't want to talk to you or tell you,
(00:56:24):
like,
(00:56:25):
about everything or just exist with you,
(00:56:30):
like,
(00:56:33):
As long as I'm around you, I'm cool.
(00:56:35):
It doesn't really matter what we're doing.
(00:56:40):
Yeah.
(00:56:42):
I love you so fucking much.
(00:56:44):
I love you so fucking much.
(00:56:45):
You're right.
(00:56:48):
I feel very lucky to be yours.
(00:56:50):
I feel very lucky to be yours.
(00:56:53):
Okay.
(00:56:56):
Last question.
(00:56:57):
It's yours.
(00:56:57):
Yeah.
(00:56:58):
I feel like it has to be a really good question now.
(00:57:03):
What's your favorite color?
(00:57:07):
I'm just kidding.
(00:57:08):
I was like, that's obvious to literally everyone.
(00:57:10):
Yeah, that's true.
(00:57:13):
Okay.
(00:57:14):
It's pink, by the way.
(00:57:16):
Yeah, and like if you don't know, it's pink.
(00:57:18):
I'm literally wearing pink heart glasses right now.
(00:57:21):
Yes.
(00:57:22):
And I have hot pink nails and a pink watch and pink toes and a pink water bottle
(00:57:27):
and a pink crochet hook and a pink charging cord.
(00:57:31):
Yes, there's lots of pink.
(00:57:34):
You should feel bad for me because there's two little girls that live here as well.
(00:57:39):
But one of them loves turquoise, which is fucking fantastic.
(00:57:44):
Correct.
(00:57:44):
And pink.
(00:57:45):
And pink.
(00:57:46):
Because there's tons of pink everywhere.
(00:57:48):
There is tons of pink.
(00:57:48):
She also really likes purple.
(00:57:50):
I'm super outnumbered, guys.
(00:57:52):
Yeah.
(00:57:53):
Lou's favorite color changes on the rig.
(00:57:58):
We thought the color question wasn't going to be good.
(00:58:02):
No, ask me a real question.
(00:58:04):
Okay.
(00:58:07):
When did you realize you loved me?
(00:58:13):
When did I realize I loved you?
(00:58:15):
Correct.
(00:58:17):
Oh, no.
(00:58:17):
Let's see.
(00:58:18):
Good question.
(00:58:20):
Ooh.
(00:58:33):
I think...
(00:58:42):
I know the moment, I just don't know when it was.
(00:58:45):
When was the moment?
(00:58:48):
So I was driving, and I was listening to The Loneliest by Måneskin.
(00:59:02):
Okay.
(00:59:04):
And I just started crying because I was like,
(00:59:09):
This can't be him.
(00:59:10):
I can't.
(00:59:12):
No, this can't happen.
(00:59:13):
I can't.
(00:59:15):
I don't want that to be him.
(00:59:16):
I didn't want to have to let you go.
(00:59:21):
But eventually I was going to have to let you go.
(00:59:23):
Yeah, because you were married.
(00:59:26):
I was married and you did not know.
(00:59:29):
You did not know until I moved in with you because I'm kind of a fucked up person sometimes.
(00:59:36):
Yeah.
(00:59:37):
But...
(00:59:39):
I love you.
(00:59:41):
And I love where we're at.
(00:59:43):
Me too.
(00:59:45):
Good.
(00:59:45):
But, yeah, that was that.
(00:59:48):
And then Christmas came.
(00:59:53):
And I don't know what it was,
(00:59:57):
but you being alone,
(00:59:58):
not going anywhere,
(01:00:00):
not having any meal,
(01:00:02):
like,
(01:00:04):
that really bothered me.
(01:00:05):
I noticed that when you showed up.
(01:00:09):
When I didn't tell you.
(01:00:10):
And I also didn't tell you that I'd been making a blanket for you for, like, three months, I think.
(01:00:19):
Yeah.
(01:00:20):
I planned for that.
(01:00:21):
Like, sometimes my brain works.
(01:00:25):
Yeah, it's just crazy that you were making a blanket for three months for your booty call.
(01:00:34):
Yeah, that was when I realized I was like, oh.
(01:00:37):
This is so much more.
(01:00:39):
And I think the feelings all started to kick in after, like, when we went to go pick up your motorcycle.
(01:00:45):
That pretty much was my moment.
(01:00:51):
Yeah?
(01:00:51):
Yeah, three hours with you, just talking and listening to music.
(01:00:57):
And just, it was a beautiful day.
(01:01:03):
And then I got my motorcycle and rode it like two and a half hours home.
(01:01:10):
And then you still took the time to,
(01:01:12):
even though you needed to go get Iz,
(01:01:14):
you still took the time to give me my payment,
(01:01:20):
which required putting things in bags.
(01:01:24):
Yeah.
(01:01:24):
And you still took the time to do that.
(01:01:26):
Yeah, of course.
(01:01:28):
And I think we might have shared part of a joint.
(01:01:30):
Oh, for sure.
(01:01:31):
We always did.
(01:01:32):
We did.
(01:01:33):
We really... I don't think people realize how much of a pothead I am.
(01:01:38):
Oh my goodness.
(01:01:40):
Yeah.
(01:01:40):
Yeah.
(01:01:41):
It is... It is intense.
(01:01:46):
Yeah, not as intense as our sex, though.
(01:01:49):
No, not nearly there.
(01:01:52):
Okay, it's time for me to go eat, and I'm so excited because we're having sandwiches.
(01:01:58):
I'm weird, and I love sandwiches, and that is great, because you love sandwiches, which is also great.
(01:02:07):
I do.
(01:02:08):
Grandma's texting me.
(01:02:10):
Okay, that has been another episode of the Chaos, or the Curiosity Chronicles.
(01:02:17):
Jesus, there's too many Chronicles.
(01:02:19):
I'm going to have to get that shit together.
(01:02:21):
Thank you, babe, for joining us.
(01:02:25):
It was so much fun.
(01:02:26):
I always love talking with you.
(01:02:28):
Of course, baby.
(01:02:29):
Thank you for having me.
(01:02:31):
You're welcome.
(01:02:33):
And we, and I, will talk to you next time.
