Carrie: 0:33

I

Kristine: 0:34

yeah, I do. So I think our voices are very nice. So nice. I've got, I've gotten compliments. Yeah. Yeah. My family was over, um, well, at my dad's house on the weekend, and, uh, my aunt and uncle listened to the podcast and they said that we have very inviting voices. Oh. And they're not mousey or annoying. And I was like, that is, that is such a, like, that's the highest compliment. So thank you. Because

Carrie: 0:55

mousey and annoying is the

Kristine: 0:56

worst. But yeah, suddenly they said, we just, we have nice voices to listen to. Oh, that's so nice. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Kate, what? Uh, so every, every uh, episode we start off with just talking about like how our weekend is mm-hmm. Or was what do we do? Mm-hmm. Um, blah, blah, blah. And then we're just gonna, we're gonna talk about that stuff. And, uh, today's episode we're just gonna shoot the shit,

Carrie: 1:17

which is really nice. We are shooting the shit today. Honestly. I need shoot the shit day.

Kristine: 1:21

Yeah, me too. I need a little bit of a

Carrie: 1:23

break. I am still struggling with, uh, my anxiety when I wake up in the morning. Oh no. I even had it this weekend.

Kristine: 1:32

What? Really? That sucks. Yeah. Even while you were away. Yeah. That's a bummer. Yeah. Well, why don't, since we're talking about you, why don't we talk about your weekend?

Carrie: 1:40

Okay. So I went to Syl Lake for the weekend. That's so nice. It is nice. And you know, I'm excited to talk about Sylvan on this episode with you. Me too. Yeah.

Kristine: 1:48

So we briefly talked about it last episode. We did Just brief. We forgot some details. A couple details. Yeah. And now I'm really ready to jump into that. Yeah, so

Carrie: 1:57

carry on. Um, so I was there last weekend and my husband and I decided why not go another weekend. Um, my family has, my parents have a house there, um, kind of close to the lake, but then they also have, um, some other properties and one that they hold just for like, family to come visit, which is so nice. And so that's like the og Yeah, that is the one that my parents bought out there when I was really young. I was probably 10 and we've had it ever since. And two years ago it actually burnt down. Oh, broke my heart. Yeah. it was arson but it took two full years to kind of get it back. So the way the condo works is there's up and down units and they're all kind of connected. There's like six or seven, seven wouldn't make sense since there's two, six probably or eight. And they're all connected in a row and yeah, there was a fire at my that was awful. Parents. Yeah. So it's finally habitable again this year and we were just so excited to go stay'cause we haven't been for a couple years. And Brooke just freaking loved it. Well, yeah. Was fun to love. She loved it. And she just thinks it's so cool. And I was telling her all kinds of different memories I had when I was a kid. Out there and she just thinks it's so cool. That's awesome. Yeah, we went for some walks and some adventures and then we just did a lot of chilling too. That's nice. Which was so nice. Um, the Blue Jays played on, um, Saturday. Well, I guess they played every day, but they played on Saturday and they did. Uh, Kind of like, almost like a Hall of Fame induction for one of their players. And Jose. Jose and I had to watch it'cause he's one of my favorite players. He played back in like my favorite time of watching the Blue Jays play. So I wanted to watch it and I wanted to see what other of my favorite players were gonna be there. And quite a few were. That's so fun. Very exciting. So we watched that. I cried as I do. Aw, that's nice. My mom and I both cried and my dad and Nick were like, oh my God, you guys. And then we just relaxed. It was really nice. That's so lovely. I read my book. I finished my book, club book. Nice.

Kristine: 4:06

Yeah. Nailed

Carrie: 4:07

it. Yeah. So I'm really excited to record that episode. I really, I thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning. Beginning. Yeah. We haven't even talked about it.

Kristine: 4:13

Yeah, I know. Which is so bizarre. I know. We always talk about the books we're reading. Yeah. I thorough talk about it probably'cause we're saving it, I guess. Yeah.

Carrie: 4:21

Yeah. Yeah. I won't talk too much. I'm just gonna say I thoroughly enjoyed it. Yeah. You guys, it's a really good read. Very like light, fluffy, easy to read. Yeah. That's, yeah. Thanks. But also really relatable.

Kristine: 4:32

Okay. Like

Carrie: 4:33

really relatable. I'm excited. And, yeah, I really liked it. I like Emily Henry books. They're not, they're definitely, if you're looking for spicy, they definitely don't have a ton of spice in them. But the story's really good. Yeah. Good. And I really

Kristine: 4:46

liked it. I'm excited. I'm only about, I don't know. I think six, seven chapters in. Yeah. And I, I am enjoying it.

Carrie: 4:53

It's definitely a longer book. Yeah, definitely. More of like, I'm gonna have

Kristine: 4:56

to really hammer through because we're recording that episode, I think on Wednesday or Thursday, so Yeah, we'll

Carrie: 5:00

probably do it Thursday.

Kristine: 5:01

Thursday. Gimme a little bit more time. Yeah, it's just, it was really

Carrie: 5:04

good. Good. I'm excited. Yeah. Yeah, it's really good. So I'm ex really excited to talk about that. And then we came home yesterday and Brooke had a birthday party to go to.

Kristine: 5:14

Yeah, yeah.

Carrie: 5:15

Some little rug Rat's birthday. Yeah. And so Brooke's girl's birthday party to go to, and then you guys came over for dinner. Yep. You sure did. And I said to Nick, I'm like, I, one of the things I don't. Like about leaving for the weekend, which I have a really hard time with, is it sets me outta my routine. Yeah. And I don't have my day to like reset. Yeah. And so last night probably would've been the time to do that, but instead we invited you guys over for dinner. Yeah. And I didn't have any time. So this morning I felt like chaotic. Yeah. It, I agree. Yeah. And not that I'm not happy you guys came over for dinner, but like that probably wasn't my best move. Yeah. Well,

Kristine: 5:50

whatever. Yeah. You get what you get, you know, because

Carrie: 5:51

now I just feel like my week's just like not reset, especially

Kristine: 5:55

because we are going away right away. Yeah. Uh, we're going to Vegas, um, soon, very, very soon. We're actually recording three times this week, which is gonna be Netty. Yeah. Um, but so yeah. It's, it's a little bit chaotic this week, so I, I totally get you on that.

Carrie: 6:10

Mm-hmm. So I wish I would've just given myself a little bit more time last night to reset, but I didn't. Yeah. And that's okay to. I was gonna say tomorrow night I'll do it. No, I won't. I don't know. I'll do it on Friday. I'll just live in chaos until Friday. Yeah. Good. Good for it. That helps my anxiety for sure. For sure.

Kristine: 6:24

Yeah. We're gonna have to get you a woo saw tattoo also. Seriously, I've just, you can just, you know what, I'll take a picture of Jason's. Yeah. We'll put it as your new background on your phone. Yeah. And you can just look at it. But I have camera boots on my background. Well, well, you can switch them back and forth. I know. So, yeah, I get it. It's fine. It's just been weird. I haven't changed my background on my phone. No, no. It's Nick Jonas from when I saw him, saw them in February. Yeah. That's funny. I like how I said, saw him in February. Yeah. But like, there are two other guys in the band. Yeah. Um, but yeah, no, I, it's still like Jonas, it's the photo that I took. So it's like, yeah, he gets me right in the, yeah. In the, in the

Carrie: 7:00

heart. You know what I soul, you know what I really love since we're shooting the shit, I love that. I don't feel obligated to take videos at concerts. Mm-hmm. Because I can just watch them on TikTok.

Kristine: 7:11

That is really

Carrie: 7:11

nice. It is really nice. Oh, like I didn't take any videos at B B J of Morgan. I like we're on a first name basis. Yeah. Naturally. And uh, I'm just so happy that I didn't,'cause I love being in the moment and I hate feeling obligated to take a video to watch later. I just love that there was the 8 million of them on TikTok. Yeah. I don't have to totally. I can save other

Kristine: 7:32

people's videos and I tend to watch those videos more than I watch my own videos that I take. Me too. So like I'll still take a couple and I, but I really, um, try to be mindful of looking above my camera. Yeah. Or above my phone, not watching through your camera. Yes. Because like girlfriend you, like you Yeah. The people who you actually want to see, the people you paid to see are like right there. Like Yeah. They're right there. Yeah.

Carrie: 7:56

So like I didn't take any videos that night. Yeah. Good. That's, I just was like there in the moment. Within the moment. Yeah. With Morgan and his mullet.

Kristine: 8:04

I did, I took more photo, like when I saw the Jonas Brothers in Vegas, because we did see them twice back to back. I did take more photos and videos on the first night than I did the second night. I still took some on the second night'cause we were closer. Mm-hmm. Um, but I definitely took less because like, I already, I saw them. Mm-hmm. So like if you s. You saw Morgan mm-hmm. Before mm-hmm. And now you're like really seeing it. Yeah. And that's, that gets me, it was good. I, I, I love, I hope that everybody has like a, a band or an artist that they like really spoon over. Mm-hmm. Not just like fangirling, but really like, can feel their music. Yeah. Because it just like everything speaks to me Yeah. And is relatable. Yeah. In my life.

Carrie: 8:47

Yeah. I just love, like, it just makes me happy. Yeah. And music's always been such a big part of my life. Like growing up music was always on in my house. Yeah. Like always. We didn't, we were always listening to music. My parents' listen to music, nonstop love. So that's kind of how I grew up. And so I just love music. Yeah, me too. All kinds

Kristine: 9:06

of music and live music is like Yeah. My fav. Mm-hmm. I love being a concert person. Mm-hmm. I will forever be a concert person. Me too. Uh, Carrie and I in. in September we are going to see the chicks. Mm-hmm. And then the next day Jason and I are flying out to LA to go see the Jonas Feathers, and then Jason and I get back on Sunday. And then Monday we're going to go see 50 cent. So like we are like back to back. Yeah. And then also we're seeing Paul Brandt in November. In November. And then I, we we're both going to see the Jonas Brothers in, we are November.

Carrie: 9:41

November. So like there's the next week, the week after. Yeah. Paul Brant, Paul Bratt,

Kristine: 9:45

like it is just back to back, back to back. And I

Carrie: 9:48

love that. For us, it was the thing during Covid that I missed the most Yeah. Was concerts. Yeah. Same. And as soon as concerts started happening again, Nick and I were like, going to all of'em. Let's go. And we still do. Yeah. I, and yes, concert tickets are obscene priced, but I just, it's, it brings me the utmost joy. Yeah. I,

Kristine: 10:08

my first concert, I think I was. My mom took me to go see NSYNC at the SHE Conference Center, and I still, I

Carrie: 10:17

don't know when that was'cause I was there. I

Kristine: 10:19

still have like very vivid memories of that. Um, and it was one of like the highlights for me and my mom used to take us to all the concerts. She, it was also very important to her. There was the one that she could do. We didn't have very much money but growing up, but she would save literally her pennies.

Carrie: 10:38

1998. So you were 10? I was 10 July 9th, 1998.

Kristine: 10:42

So we, my mom would literally save her pennies to take us to these shows and we would go to meet and greets and all the Yeah. Concerts we possibly could. And I will forever hold those memories because it was, mm-hmm. It was just a highlight. So I hope that, um, Scarlet continues to enjoy these things with us and mm-hmm. We're taking her to Jonas Brothers and I think that she's just gonna like fall in love with it. Yeah. The live music, like how I did, and I mean, she's a little bit, a little bit younger than I was. Mm-hmm. But I still think she's gonna just fall in love with the atmosphere. Yeah. Brooke

Carrie: 11:15

loved to come, like loved going to a concert. Yeah. It is just so cool. She was overwhelmed at first. I, well, naturally it was that freaking commonwealth. So like I don't blame her. I was overwhelmed. But, uh,

Kristine: 11:25

she loved it. Yeah. Good. Yeah. I'm so, so excited.

Carrie: 11:28

I almost took her to that show, but I just don't know if she'd like it. Which

Kristine: 11:33

Jonas Bon Oh yeah. She told me Nick Jonas is lame. Mm-hmm. So we're, we have beef right now. Yeah. So I just don't think

Carrie: 11:39

she would've liked it, so. Fair enough.

Kristine: 11:41

I'm taking my niece. Yeah. Scarlet's borderline obsessed, so it's a perfect one for her. Yeah. That's so good. Yeah. So on the weekend, um, it was her birthday party, like we mentioned. Yeah. Um, she had a Nick Jonas on the beach birthday party and how the fuck do you decorate for that? So that one's a tricky one. So, I bought beach themed decorations, a backdrop, and then, um, a Nick Jonas life size cardboard cutout. And we took it around the gym and made him do gymnastics things. And it was like, which I love so funny. Was so funny. Um, and Scarlet's gym coach is also like madly in love with the, John Brothers as well. So she was like having the time of her life with that. And uh, Carrie was helping us take videos and so funny, bring him around the gym and so funny. It was hilarious. But yeah, so we did that and then I went to a, we would, did a birthday party after at the same gym till like it was back, back like four hours of birthday partying. I'd rather. Run 21 kilometers backwards in shoes that don't fit. Yeah. Let me tell

Carrie: 12:50

you. Yeah, you were dead when you got

Kristine: 12:52

to my house. I was not in a good shape. Yeah. Like I was sweaty.'cause it was like it was hot in there. Yeah. There was like 40, people at this birthday party. The second one. Yeah. So they, it was just busy. Mm-hmm. And I am a very, I'm not very good at socializing with people. I don't know. I overheat, I get very sweaty. I don't do well. And I was like blaming how sweaty I was on the temperature of the gym, but really, but

Carrie: 13:17

it was really your social, social awkwardness.

Kristine: 13:19

Yeah. Like my social anxiety was just like at its peak. So I'm like sweaty and I was just like, I looked like I. I don't know. I went through the wringer. Yep. It was not, it was a lot of fun. And it was a great birthday party and great company. I just, I'm not good at social things. Yeah. With people I don't know. And I also have a hard time talking about myself. That's fair. With people that don't know me. That's fair. I can chat your ear off all day long as I am right now. Mm-hmm. But when they like start asking things about me. Yeah. Like what do I do for work? What do I do for fun? Where do I live? I just get like, so socially awkward. Yeah. And the anxiety just like spills out of me. Yeah. I'm, I don't know. I need lessons on how to talk to people. That's funny. It's so bad, but it's fine. And now, you know, if you talk to me somewhere out and about and you're asking me real life questions, I'm probably dying inside

Carrie: 14:16

and I don't have a problem talking about myself. I have such

Kristine: 14:18

a hard time. That's fair. Like, what do you do for work? And I love talking about what I do for work. Yeah. But like, holy shit, I'm like dying because like, It's just weird for me. It's hard. Yeah, that's fair. I've never been very good at that. I can like talk stupid shit all day long. Yeah.

Carrie: 14:34

But whatever. See, and I'm the opposite. I'd rather you ask me direct questions so I can answer them. Oh. I

Kristine: 14:38

like to avoid real questions. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Anything important Dodge that. Yeah. But like, see, this is why I need to go to therapy. We're continuously to go on a regular basis. Someone's asking. And how do you feel? Dodge that one. Wow. Don't wanna talk about it. Nope. I don't wanna tell you. I'm okay. I'm not okay. That's funny. Yeah. And that's me. Wow. We really are shooting the shit today. Yeah. I wanted to tell you a story. Okay. Speaking. I'm talking about dumb shit. I'm ready. Okay. So I went and picked up Starbucks, um, before we started recording. As we do, as we do. And I went through the drive-through as we do, and I ordered Carrie's coffee. She wanted a venti Americano decaf, um, with a half and half cream. Okay. The lady at the window has the audacity to ask me if you wanted a single or a double double. Excuse me, ma'am. I was at Starbucks. I was so confused and I was thrown. I'm like, no one's ever asked me this before. I dunno. I dunno. And she's like, oh, I'm sorry. No one's ever asked you that. A a double double, ma'am. I was so thrown off. What

Carrie: 15:53

is a double double at Starbucks babe? I

Kristine: 15:55

have no idea. I

Carrie: 15:57

have no clue. Okay. Well, I will say that normally it's a half inch of cream and today it's a quarter inch. Oh, okay. So that must have something to do with it. Maybe this is much better. Yeah. You like that. It's normally too creamy for me. Okay. Okay. Well that's good. So I like this quarter inch business. Okay,

Kristine: 16:13

so now we know. But I just, I didn't know what that meant. So she asked me and I, I was like, no, no one's ever asked me this before. I'm like, completely thrown off. Yeah. And then, um, I'm like, I don't know what they do. And she's like, oh, they must do what? Just their heart tells'em. And I'm like, so flustered. They're

Carrie: 16:29

pouring with their heart or they're pouring with

Kristine: 16:31

her heart. So if you have been to Starbucks and they've asked you if, if you wanna double, double or a single, like, is this normal? Can you just, and someone please confirm. Please tell me what is both If you work at Starbucks, is this the thing? Maybe she just, maybe she just came from like a Tim Horton's job or something maybe. I don't know. But I was so

Carrie: 16:50

thrown off. Like a double, double or like Did she just mean like a double No, she said a double. I know double, but like, is that what she meant is a double? Yeah. Yeah. But

Kristine: 16:58

she said, said a double double. She said like a,'cause she was clarifying, she said like, two cream, two sugar. Yeah. And she's like, double, double. And I'm like, well, I don't. I don't want that. What is

Carrie: 17:09

that, mom? Yeah, so I was

Kristine: 17:10

really confused. So if it's is, if it's a thing mm-hmm. Please let me know. I'm, because I'd like to be mentally prepared for next time a single is a

Carrie: 17:17

quarter, a double is half inch. Maybe. maybe a double you pour with your heart. I don't

Kristine: 17:22

the fuck is that? Like if we carry, and I go to Starbucks almost every day, like we go to Starbucks a lot too much sometimes. And uh, like, I don't actually mean that, by the way. There's never too much Starbucks, but, oh, I was gonna say. Uh, but we, we go there a lot and I've never been asked that before.

Carrie: 17:40

Me either. Are you taking a picture of me? I was gonna take a

Kristine: 17:42

video. Oh, okay. Perfect. Go for it. Yeah, yeah. Um, so yeah, that's, that's what happened to me today and I was so thrown off and it's because it's, it was our normal Starbucks. Yeah. Like our typical everyday Starbucks and they asked me a bizarro question. I was so thrown. I didn't even get a chance to ask for a straw for my drink.

Carrie: 18:02

Oh, well, honestly, the paper straws suck anyways. They do suck.

Kristine: 18:04

Yeah. Yeah. So that was my story I wanted to share with you because I was so thrown off. Like it did, it took me until we got back here for me to like settle. Yeah. Because I was just, it was so bizarre. But that's fine. Funny. That's what happened to me.

Carrie: 18:18

Today's, well, I'm sorry. I'm sorry That they asked you about the singles and the doubles and pouring with their heart. It was so bizarre. Pour with our

Kristine: 18:27

heart here. No, we don't. We don't. So yeah. Anyway,

Carrie: 18:31

my heart's black, so you wouldn't get very good coffee.

Kristine: 18:36

It's alright. I took a sip of my coffee, now I'm choking. That's funny.

Carrie: 18:39

Um, I love that. I love Starbucks. Me too. Speaking of coffee, my husband and I went to the lake this weekend. Yeah. Well, the three of us went, but Nick and I took our Es maker. Yeah. We took the whole machine. The whole, the whole shebang. Plus the extra grinder. Because Nick and I love coffee, but Nick can't drink too much caffeine. Well, neither can, I probably shouldn't drink any with anxiety, but like I do. Yeah, I do. But Nick can't drink more than like a cup or two, or he starts getting like mad shakes. Yeah, he does. Yeah. Like such bad shakes. So we have to take our decaf grinder and our calf grinder. Yeah. And our espresso maker. And we took it to the lake with us because I hate drip coffee. Yeah. And I don't like curate coffee very much. No, it's not, it's not the best. I'm, I like flavored ones. But you don't like flavored coffee? No. No. And like, so I'm all about making americanos like espresso. So last weekend when we went to the lake, we were drinking like, Shit. Coffee or going to the coffee shop, which is fine, but it gets a little pricey every day. Yeah, totally. We like to drink at least three coffees in the morning. Yeah. So we brought our espresso machine and Brooke's like, you brought that from home. Yeah. Don't judge me. Yeah, I did. Brooke. I hope she likes coffee. Like I like

Kristine: 19:52

coffee. Yeah. I get, yeah. I hope

Carrie: 19:55

so too. Yeah, I really do. Or maybe I don't.'cause it's really bad. It's, it is an expensive addiction too. Yeah. And I, um, I stopped in at a boutique in Zel mm-hmm. And did some shopping. That's so nice. And they have a little coffee shop on the main floor. And I got a coffee there. It was fantastic. Where is it located? In the old, like restaurant. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I thought so. Yeah. So the main floor is the coffee shop and then they have like some Nicky Nicky down there. They have some local like, um, fresh stuff, like fresh milk and fresh produce down there. That's cool. And then upstairs is the entire thing. Is the boutique. Boutique. That's awesome. Very nice.

Kristine: 20:32

Yeah. Yeah. Love that. Yeah. And you bought some new pants? I did. I bought a top.

Carrie: 20:36

I bought the top too. Oh good. I bought the whole

Kristine: 20:38

fit. Perfect. Yeah. Those are

Carrie: 20:39

beautiful. Yeah. Nick hated them. Yeah.

Kristine: 20:41

Well, Nick can get

Carrie: 20:42

bent. He's like, I sent him a picture. I'm like, what do you, I'm like, do you like these or not? And he was like, I feel like you, no or not. And he was like, I feel like if you have to ask, you already know the answer to that. I'm like, I do, but I'm buying them anyways. Yeah. He's like, oh, okay. Okay. Or

Kristine: 20:56

nah, or nah. That's, that's fucking funny. Speaking of shopping, Carrie's taking my husband shopping. I'm tomorrow night. Yeah. I, uh, taste. Really wants some new cowboy boots. And if I knew you mean some at all? Yeah, some like his very first pair. And I was like, oh, that's so nice. You should go with Carrie. Like I'm fucking useless. Yeah. In that department. Yeah. So I was like, you should take Carrie, like you should do this as a team. Mm-hmm. And so yeah, she's uh, gonna take Jace on a date or date. Jace, take her on a date. I don't know. They're dynamic. Okay. I don't either actually. So I did ask who's driving and they both didn't have an answer, so I don't know. Yeah. Stressful. He better fucking hold the door open for you. I hope so. He'll, well, this episode will be out on Thursday. Oh yeah. So it's fine. So we can talk all about it. Oh yeah. Yeah. That's great. Yeah. Yeah. So who knows what's gonna happen. I don't know. I

Carrie: 21:53

hope he's driving though. I made him drive home yesterday. Yeah. That was really funny. For

Kristine: 21:55

the birthday party. So yeah. So I sent Jace home with Carrie and her daughter because Scarlet and I were staying for that other birthday party. Mm-hmm. And uh, I just, I needed the car, so, yeah. And we, I didn't want two cars

Carrie: 22:09

there. No, no, no. He was, come you can,

Kristine: 22:12

I didn't even ask the same place. I didn't even ask her. I said, I have to say this part, I had to say for this other birthday party, I'm sending Jace home with you. And she's like, okay, Jace asked me.

Carrie: 22:22

Oh, he did? Yeah. At the party. Oh, that's so nice. He like, it's okay if I come home with you today. Is, is that right? No. And I'm like, nah, nah, we're going. No, no. We're gonna the same neighborhood. Of course you can come home with me. That's so cute that he asked. Yeah, he asked.

Kristine: 22:35

Oh, he better hold the door open for you. Hope he does. If he does though, I'll be a little jealous because he absolutely does not do that for me most times. I think he's trying to trip me on the way to the car.

Carrie: 22:49

Oh, that's funny. But yeah, I was like, how's your foot? Like, is it good when you drive? And he's like, oh yeah, driving's fine. I'm like, ah, yeah. Yeah. I was like, how do you feel about driving home?

Kristine: 22:57

He tore his planters, uh, planter fascia on the bottom of his foot. I think we talked about it last week maybe. Yeah, probably. So that's what Carrie was referring

Carrie: 23:06

Tocause. I I took him to the Yeah, that we, that's right. The, the old hospital then we talked about when we recorded it. That's right. Yeah. Yeah. That was neat. Yeah. So I was like, yeah, how's your foot? Can you drive? Will you drive home?'cause I don't want to.

Kristine: 23:19

Yeah. Good. I'm glad you did. And it was funny'cause I came out to go get my book. Yeah. And then Carrie rolls down the window, she's in the passenger seat, and she's like, oh hey.

Carrie: 23:33

Didn't feel like driving. It's why I brought, it's why I drove the SS u V and not the car.

Kristine: 23:37

Yeah, that's nice.

Carrie: 23:38

That's perfect Because like I already had full intentions of asking Jason to drive home. That's perfect. And if I drove the car, he couldn't. Yeah. Yeah.

Kristine: 23:45

So yeah, he needs, well he's not gonna learn how to drive a standard on that. So Nick, Nick said he teach him on that. Why not? I'm not even

Carrie: 23:53

allowed to look at the car. No.

Kristine: 23:56

I've been in it twice, maybe three times. No more than that now.'cause you've driven it few times to work. Yeah. But yeah, no, I'm not allowed to learn on that. No. My dad actually took me, um, driving in his old standard and uh, he told me that I should be a contestant on Canada's verse driver. So my dad loves me a lot is what we're the moral of the story here. I love that. I couldn't figure it out, but that's fine. It's fine. Um, an old friend of ours, um, tried to teach me as well, recently passed away. Um, so that, that sucks. But regardless, he tried to teach me and well, he could not, he's the one

Carrie: 24:35

who taught me. Yeah. Yeah. And well kind of. And Matt had a standard two and one day. I was like, oh, can I drive the car today? He's like, yeah, why don't you drive it without me? And he sent me on my way with his car. That's

Kristine: 24:49

so nice. And

Carrie: 24:50

trusting to let me drive it. And I drove it home to like my parents' house. Yeah. So I was living there at the time, and I drove it there. And then I had to drive it back. And there's this hill going up to, it's on 34th street, going up to the overpass to get onto like shear park, freeway. Yeah. And it's ki it's not a big hill, but it's, no, it's a little hill. But this, the person behind me was so close to my back bumper. Oh no. And I was nervous. Yeah. And so I just like stopped, turned on the hazard lights, let them go around me. Yeah. Good for you. And then I went, because yeah, I would've done the same thing. I was still, I still wasn't confident enough that I wasn't gonna roll back into them. Yeah.

Kristine: 25:31

Wow. So I would've done the same.

Carrie: 25:33

Yeah. So I did, I turned on my hazard lights rolled down the window. I was like, go bus, go around, go

Kristine: 25:38

around. Oh no, I just stalled. Oh

Carrie: 25:41

no. They would've stopped and be like, do you need anything? No, no, no, no. I just need you to get the F outta here.

Kristine: 25:48

Yeah, if you could just move your car. Um, about 700 meters north

Carrie: 25:52

of here. Is that great? Yeah. Like please get outta here so I can continue on with my journey. Yeah. Because I was like freaking out. Yeah. I'm like, I don't know what to do. So funny. But yeah, I'm obviously a little bit more confident now. Yeah. But I did drive a standard for years. When I turned 21, I got a new car and it was a standard. And I remember my dad took me like shop car shopping and I was like, I want a standard. And he's like, you know how to drive one. And I was like, Uhhuh. Yeah, totally. No, Carrie did not know what she was doing. You track them

Kristine: 26:25

all the time,

Carrie: 26:26

dad. I'm like, oh yeah, I got this. And he's like, well, I guess. And I'm like, yeah, no, no, that's what I want. Like I want,'cause I wanted a standard and I remember when I got it, we had to leave the dealership and like they're all standing around like staring and like clapping. So excited for me. Yay. And I'm like, oh my God, don't stall the car and leave me the dealership that's gonna be mortifying. Oh my God. But I didn't thank God. And then obviously I drove that car for quite some time. Yeah. Like until I was 29, when I was pregnant with Brooke. It was starting to get, starting to get rough. Yeah. I worked, um, I worked downtown when I drove it too, and like that, I was fine. But yeah, when I was pregnant with Brooke, it was starting to get a little bit taxing. Yeah. Clutching and you know. Well, yeah. It's just so

Kristine: 27:10

much. And it was a sports car, so you're running outta space. Oh.

Carrie: 27:13

And like getting in and out of it. That's hard. It was

Kristine: 27:15

so low. Oh my god. Remember your couch? Yes. Carrie had no, you still have, it's downstairs though. The basement. She has this extremely luscious couch that like the story makes sense. Okay. When. I was pregnant. She had this couch upstairs. And that's how this story is linked here. We're talking about pregnancies now. So when I was pregnant, I sat on this couch and I couldn't get up. I could not get up. I had to get help to get up, ev off this couch every single time. And there was one time I was really pregnant and I had Brooke, um, at the house and it was just me carrying network on. They were gone. And uh, I had to put Brooke on the floor and like roll myself off the couch because I got stuck. And so I understand the small, not small spaces, but the spaces and the spatial awareness when you're pregnant. Yeah. Because you can get real, you, you can, you get stuck. You get stuck. So stuck. So I get it

Carrie: 28:14

that you had to get in the car. Yeah, I was getting out there was rough and I had an SS u V at the time too. I had two vehicles'cause. The car was just getting harder and we were lived out on the acreage and it was really hard to drive it in the winter out there. Yeah. And so I was never driving it anymore and I'm like, okay, yeah, it's time now. I still miss it. But then when Nick got his car and it was a standard, I'm, it's just so excited. It's just fun. That's really NICE's

Kristine: 28:38

a fun time. I can't drive a standard, but I can parallel park. Mm-hmm. I'm an amazing, you're a really good parallel. Parker Parallel. It's like the Can Canada's got talent. I'll go on with that. You'll go parallel park. Yeah. Well I got nothing else

Carrie: 28:53

for skills. I don't know the last time I had to parallel park, so I just don't know if I like, I'm sure I could, but I don't know. The last time I did, I have to do

Kristine: 29:02

a lot at um, when I do school pickup. Oh yeah.'cause people dunno how to fucking move forward. Yeah. I hope somebody from our town is listening. Yeah. Because I, uh, move up, move up, move up. It's not hard. There's an empty space move up and the people behind you can also scooch in. They can then we'll be happy. I don't know. I don't know why people don't move up. So anyway, so usually if there's a space, I'm not sitting, you'll parallel park there. I'm not sitting at the back there. I will move up and I'll go parallel park into that

Carrie: 29:31

spot. I just don't understand the inability to move up, but whatever. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Kristine: 29:36

Yeah. Well anyway, whatever. I'm very bitter about that topic. Right. And I do one pickup a week. Like I'm barely there. Yeah. But I'm mad.

Carrie: 29:48

Yeah, yeah. Whatever. That's why like Nick goes like very end now. Yeah. Yeah. Because Brooke's usually not out until.

Kristine: 29:55

The bit to end. Yeah. Scarlet's the same way. Laura has been getting closer to that too, because she's just off being social and mm-hmm. Starts playing soccer with the boys at the end of school, like mm-hmm. Come on you guys. No, I,

Carrie: 30:08

I'd rather she be late than have to go to the crazy

Kristine: 30:11

pickup. Well, I'd have to go track her down Oh's. That's what I don't like. Oh, Brooke comes. Yeah, that sits, she comes. That's nice. Yeah. I have to go track my kid down. Oh yeah. That's fair. Yeah, she's off. She'd probably hop on somebody's school bus. Yeah. She's

Carrie: 30:23

like, oh, go home with you. It reminds me of V Full House when she goes to New Zealand. Yes.

Kristine: 30:28

Yeah. That was on the plane. On the plane. That was a good episode. Yeah. Awesome. Yeah. I didn't talk about what I did on the weekend, but I honestly don't think I did much.

Carrie: 30:37

No, you didn't do anything. Oh, didn't you go buy new shoes?

Kristine: 30:40

I did buy new shoes. Yeah. I bought new pairs. Pictures, two pairs. Yeah. That was really nice. So I actually, I went to another running store that was recommended by my physiotherapist, uh, and, uh, he's a runner as well, and he is like, go, just go. Like, they're so good there. And yeah, I ended up buying two new pairs of shoes. I bought a race day shoe, and I'm nervous because it like propels you forward. Mm-hmm. And, uh, I'm nervous. Yeah.

Carrie: 31:05

I don't what have you put them on yet? Yeah, I did. Like, I did you run in them

Kristine: 31:07

on the treadmill there? Yeah. And like, I feel, I felt good, but I'm nervous. Like, what if I stumble and I just keep going? You know, I'm just, yeah. I'm a little bit of a clutz. Yeah. So I think it'll be okay. It'll be fine. So I have to try to break them in a little bit this week, this week. And uh, and maybe I'll wear them on Sunday.'cause I am running a half marathon on Sunday. You are? It's supposed to be rainy, so don't go. Oh, is it?

Carrie: 31:31

Don't go. Oh no. Let me look.

Kristine: 31:33

Yeah, it's supposed to be shitty weather. Oh, we were just looking when I was at my appointment. Um, but yeah, so I bought two new pairs of shoes. I had a really good experience at, um, fast Tracks in Edmonton. Um, the guy was super knowledgeable and very, very helpful and really took his time and answered all of my ridiculous questions and I'm very, very happy. So I ended up with two new pairs. I bought like a, um, everyday shoe. I needed a new pair.'cause I'm getting, I'm getting close to the mileage on my current pair. And uh, the pair he brought out, he's like, I think you're gonna like these. He's like, but best part is like they're 50% off'cause like they're just last seasons. Yeah. So I got'em for$70. Oh, that's sweet. And I actually genuinely enjoyed them. Yeah. Like

Carrie: 32:15

they fit really good. Were they the same brand? No.

Kristine: 32:17

Oh completely. Yeah. I got, uh, they were Brooks I believe. Oh yeah. Is what I got. Believe they were Brooks. And then my race shoe is a new balance. Yeah. It's got like a carbon plate in it. I don't know. I don't understand it. Yeah. All that hubbub. But I'm really excited. So it's fun. And then I bought new, uh uh, electrolyte gels. Oh, nice. Very thrilling. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Running is weird. It is weird. It's really strange. But I thoroughly enjoy it. It,

Carrie: 32:44

it's weird to me that you're just running like, like when you really, you know how sometimes you stop and think about things and you're like, that's just fucking weird. Yeah. That's running to me. Like if you really think about it, you're just running. Running.

Kristine: 33:01

Why? I don't know exactly. I don't know, but I find it like, Calming. Yeah. And that's great. And like most people, like, you know, like to like meditate or something for calming experience. Yeah. I like to put my shoes on and pretend somebody's chasing me. Yeah.

Carrie: 33:16

And that's awesome. Yeah.

Kristine: 33:18

So it's like, it's a weird

Carrie: 33:20

thing to do. It is a weird concept if you really think about it. Yeah. Yeah.

Kristine: 33:24

But I do enjoy it. Yeah. So I, I ran again this weekend and I was a quitter in my run. You were a quitter. I was supposed to go 14 kilometers and I'm like, I don't have time for this today, so I'm gonna go 10 and I made it 9.3 and you're like, fuck it, I'm done.

Carrie: 33:40

I get it. I'm a quitter. So on. Um, as you guys know, I've been trying to walk five kilometers a day for a hundred days. I don't even know what day I'm on now, but, um, I went for a walk on. Friday. Mm-hmm. I get really screwed up because Friday is not a normal day off, but like it is my normal day off, but it's not a normal day off for people. So it always screws me up. Like on Saturday. I thought it was Sunday. Yep. So I went for a walk. Oh yeah. It was 1.5 kilometers and we were just walking in my parents' house or I was walking back to pick up the car or something. And, um, So I recorded it and I was like, oh, now I'll just walk three and a half tonight and then that'll make five. And then when I was walking, I was like, that's cheating. Like you're supposed to do a five kilometer

Kristine: 34:25

walk. So did you do a full five after? Yeah.

Carrie: 34:28

That's really impressive. And then I did the same thing on Saturday. I did a two and a half kilometer walk. I walked to the condo and then back. Yeah. And I got a full two and a half kilometers and I was like, oh, well I can just go two and a half tonight. Like, that's great.'cause I was really tired. No, I did a full five because I was like, that's cheating. Yeah. You're not supposed to break into two walks. You're just supposed to do a single five kilometer walk. Cheater, cheater, pumpkin eater. So I did it. That's awesome. Congratulations. Yeah. Oh, thanks. What a, you just fucking time

Kristine: 34:54

rolling in those, uh, kilometers. Yeah. How many kilometers have you done this month?

Carrie: 35:00

I don't know. We're on the 14th. Okay, let me, because

Kristine: 35:03

you can do the dropdown. Did you know that the what? The dropdown where? Okay. Um, go see. Okay. Hold on. Do you see all workouts on the top right hand corner? Click that. Yeah. And click walking. Oh

Carrie: 35:15

yeah. Okay. Um, and

Kristine: 35:17

then it should give you the total up at the top there. On your left. It

Carrie: 35:20

says time. Can I see it? Yeah. It just says time and how many walks I've done. Oh, it doesn't give you a kilometer?

Kristine: 35:28

No. Oh, that's really strange. Oh, mine does. Mine gives me a total for running. Oh. I don't

Carrie: 35:33

know why it does that. I don't know either. I'm sorry. That's okay. I was like, I don't, I don't know. I, you know what? But I can give you an answer. If you give me 13 seconds, I can. Yeah. I'll count down. Yeah, don't actually do that. Keep talking about something. Oh,

Kristine: 35:46

what else did I do this weekend? Oh, it was my dad's 60th birthday,

Carrie: 35:49

which was really fun. My mom and I were actually talking about how old your dad is, like on the

Kristine: 35:53

weekend and how he's 60. Mm-hmm. Or is it weird that he's

Carrie: 35:55

60? I mean, it's not weird. It's just so funny because you and I are really close in age. Yeah. And your dad's 60 And my dad is 77. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's, yeah, it's weird. You know what I mean? It's just weird how like, parents can all be such different

Kristine: 36:12

ages. Your dad's built different though. Yeah, he's built foot tough. Yeah. He, he doesn't look or act like he's in his late seventies 77. No, there's not, like, not a little, not an ounce. My dad walks

Carrie: 36:26

like five miles a day still. Yeah, that's,

Kristine: 36:29

he's wild. He's fit as a fiddle. Yeah. Yeah. So it was my dad's 60th birthday, so his wife had a, um, birthday party for him. A birthday barbecue. Yeah. Um, so my whole family was there and it was actually a lot. It was like a lot of fun. Yeah. Um, I thoroughly enjoyed myself, um, at my dad's or my grandparents. As soon as you walk in the door, you. Respectfully take a shot of Brandy. Well, I respectfully that day did, I ran the 9.3 kilometers and then I didn't eat after because I didn't have time. So I respectfully got very drunk off of a shot of brandy and a beer that I had after. So before we went to my dad's, we stopped at the liquor store and Jace ran in for me and I asked him to grab me some Coronas.'cause I've been on a big Corona kick right now. So he brings me the Coronas, we get to dad's and I have my shot of Brandy and Jace passes me a beer. And, uh, I was like,

Carrie: 37:25

what the fuck is

Kristine: 37:26

this? He bought me those cos So they're like, oh, the old babies, old baby beers. So I'm like, okay. I got drunk off that tiny baby beer. That's funny.'cause I was, I had nothing in my stomach. Yeah. I been there and I was starving. Um,'cause I didn't eat before we left. And uh, yeah. So I had a brandy and a carita. I love that. And it was delicious. I, yeah, I'm really big on the Coronas right now. Yeah.

Carrie: 37:54

And I, that's great. I I like Coronas in margaritas. Yeah. I do love myself with a bulldog. Like I love a bulldog. Yeah. And we, you know, I wanna talk about my bulldog glasses for a second. So when I was younger, Y'all need to remember, I was a lot younger. I was in my twenties. I wasn't a mother, I wasn't a good person. We went to Julio's Barrio and I was having bulldogs and my husband and I were just like drinking them with our neighbors. We had so many bulldogs. I hope someone here works at Julio's Barrio and they're gonna

Kristine: 38:31

tell everybody, oh, I know the, I know the story. Yeah.

Carrie: 38:33

And so I said to the server, I'm like, I need to know where these glasses are from. Like I want a bulldog glass. Yeah. And like that was before the days of like Amazon, like you can just go on Amazon and search for a bulldog glass. Like that wasn't a thing. And so I asked her, I'm like, where are these from? I need to know, are they local? Like, do you bring them in? Where are they from? And she looks at me dead in the face and she's like, they're so hard to find. Yeah. Well, ma'am, that was the wrong thing to say to me with my big purse. So I took home two Bulldog glasses from Julio's Barrio and because we had ordered so many, no one, like you would never have noticed. Yeah.'cause we had glasses all over the table. Right. So I, I, I stole two. I borrowed, I'll return them one day. Yeah, yeah. From Julio's Barrio. That's so funny. Come for me. I'm a rebel.

Kristine: 39:26

You know what, no one, I almost guarantee it. No one who worked there 15 years ago whenever this was. Uh, they don't work there anymore. No, they don't. They don't give a flying. Fuck. No. They probably stole the, the glasses too. Yeah. They probably said they're so hard to find because they, their staff kept stealing them.

Carrie: 39:44

Yeah. Like, she's like, oh, they're just so hard to find. Like, we have a hard time with them. So like, well, obviously then I took it. Okay. This month I have walked 71.76 kilometers. That's so good. Since I started walking five kilometers a day, I've walked 402 kilometers.

Kristine: 39:58

Wow. That is like Tour de France.

Carrie: 40:02

Yeah. Like where, where, how far is four oh oh kilometers? Like where can you go? Very far? Yeah. Very, very, very, very, very far. 78 days, 400, two kilometers. I've walked, hold on. I don't know. I need to look something up. I don't know how far 400 kilometers is from here, So, um, I have, uh, two bulldog glasses from Julio's Barrio in my, uh, in my cupboard. They're well used, like well loved. We really do love them. And I'd say it's like no different than them breaking a glass and you having, you know, it's the same thing. And I had a big purse. How far did you, 402 kilometers

Kristine: 40:38

You could, you're 22 kilometers. 2 24, sorry. 24 kilometers short of reaching Banff. Oh, I love that. From here. That's so cool. From, from right here. Oh, you're 24 kilometers short.

Carrie: 40:52

Oh. So like by the end of this week I'll walk to Banff.

Kristine: 40:55

Yes. Oh, that's cool. Congratulations. I hope you don't see a bear. Thank you.

Carrie: 41:00

I hope, I hope I don't either. Especially found out here. Yeah. That's really fun. I like that. I had to look it up. Yeah. Because I was like, that's far. Yeah. And I knew it was, I just dunno what's 400 kilometers from here. Yeah. And I didn't really realize,'cause I hadn't inputted my, I use an app called the Habit Tracker. Yeah, that's cool. And that's where I just put my, like walks in every day. And so it'll tell me how far I've gone total since I started this streak. Mm-hmm. And how far I've gone this month. That's really impressive. My average daily total is 5.09 kilometers. Wow. Yeah. Good job. Thank you. Congratulations. Thank you. So I,

Kristine: 41:36

I'll give you a sending ovation. Uh, I

Carrie: 41:38

would Don't get up. Yeah. The same. Yeah. I'll do one later. 20. I have 22 days left. Oh yeah. Still,

Kristine: 41:45

still. I wonder how far you're gonna go this year. I don't know. Thus, like this year, I don't know, but I think you're gonna make it across Canada.

Carrie: 41:56

Could you imagine? I love that. I just told everyone that I stole bar glasses from Julio's Barrio. Me too. Like I can't believe I told people that out loud on the internet.

Kristine: 42:04

That's fine. I stole one. I stole.

Carrie: 42:07

Once the statute of limitations is over, they can't arrest me. Are they gonna arrest me for the Julio's party? They're gonna glasses.

Kristine: 42:14

Woo. We're here for Carrie for her glasses. Be like, that was a joke. Yeah, that was, yeah. For legal purposes. This is a joke. Prove it. Come at me, bro. I stole once. I stole a pack of gum from the Sobeys. Oh, I remember that. And then I cried. Yeah. And then I returned it. I've never

Carrie: 42:35

stolen anything from a store.

Kristine: 42:37

No, that was like, that was the one and only time. And then I cried. Yeah. And then I returned it and he let me keep the gum. Yeah. Yeah. I was, I was not in a good place. I was so sad, so upset. Oh yeah. I like, I made it back to my house, which was like a five minute walk. And, and then I was like, flipping a bitch. Like I turned right around. You were just beside yourself. Yeah. Couldn't do it. And then that's the only thing I've ever stolen on purpose. Like I'm sure I've walked out with something. Do you remember the target saw that?

Carrie: 43:04

Yeah. Okay. So the target in Maui, I've been, I, I frequent there at, when we're there as I do, and one time I had a whole or a cardigan. Cardigan. I put a cardigan on. I was cold in the store. It was freezing in there. Yeah. It was very, very cold. They fucking pump in that air conditioning. Mm-hmm. Like nobody's business. I was so cold. So I put on a cardigan to wear while we were shopping. Yeah. We, shit, I fucking stole the thing. Yeah. So we're

Kristine: 43:31

just like, shoot, like we're just talking and chopping and. You know what, like, it just felt so normal. Mm-hmm. And nothing felt unusual. Yeah. And then we get home or in the car or something. In the car, because I took it back.

Carrie: 43:43

Yeah. I took

Kristine: 43:44

it back in. Right? Yeah. Yeah. We're in the car in the parking lot. Yeah. And we we're like, holy shit. Yeah. And uh, yeah, he went back and dropped it off. Yeah.

Carrie: 43:54

Whoops. And then next time I went, I was buying a bunch of books. This was before I had a Kindle. I was buying a bunch of books and she didn't scan them all in. Oh yeah. And I, like four of them were free. Yeah. And I felt

Kristine: 44:09

awful. That's happened to me too before Unintentional though. I felt awful. And like sometimes it's just a little too late. It was too Well, I didn't

Carrie: 44:16

realize until I got home. Yeah. Because I was like telling my mom, mom, I'm like, oh, I bought all these books. And she's like, oh yeah. And I was like, yeah, I think I spent like$78. And I was like, wait, wait.

Kristine: 44:24

That doesn't add up. That doesn't, that doesn't, and I'm sure. That I like, you know, the toilet paper or something on the bottom of your cart, didn't make a scan. Absolutely. But like, I've never, ever in my life intentionally stole except for that one piece of like that gum stick of gum. And I will never, ever do that again. Yeah. Never. Yeah. That hurts. That still even hurt. Yeah. Still kills

Carrie: 44:48

yang. Yeah. Yeah. I feel that way about the Julio Barrio glasses. I'm just kidding. I don't, I love them. I love them. I love them. Like I love them. Yeah. And the lady told me they were hard to buy. Yeah. That was her fault. You shouldn't

Kristine: 45:01

have told me that. Huh? Commodity like carrie's, like everybody m empty your bags.

Carrie: 45:05

Well, I used to, I had like a big like hobo bag. Yeah. Which I remember it. And so did, so did our neighbors, who we were with.'cause they, they also stole a couple glasses. They also took two. Honestly, we, we probably got like, between the four of us, we probably got like 20 bulldogs that night. So like,

Kristine: 45:20

Yeah. You know, they can get some of those glasses. It's fine. Whatevs,

Carrie: 45:24

fuck, whatever. I really, I really love my bulldog glasses. And if anyone, sorry. Maybe you don't know what a bulldog is. It is a lime margarita slush with a corita, like a small little baby. Corona tipped into it, and as you're drinking it, the corona slowly empties and it's just like the combo, it's delight is fucking fantastic. Yeah. And like, now I wanna go to White Aven drink. I was just gonna say now a bulldog. A bulldog. We can do that. Sure. Yeah. Let's make that happen. We're available. Yeah.

Kristine: 45:53

This week's a little tough. Yeah. Next. A little tough here.

Carrie: 45:55

Tough. Yeah. We're gonna Vegas next week for my birthday. We are Woo woo Kate. I wanna talk about something I'm really upset about. Let's hear it, baby. The fact that you can't wear sneakers to the bar there. Yeah. That's

Kristine: 46:06

bullshit.'cause it's a fucking trend. I'm, I almost said sorry for swearing. I'm not fucking

Carrie: 46:10

sorry for, for swearing. No, you're not. I said effing earlier and I was like, what was I doing?

Kristine: 46:14

It's a, it's a trend. It's comfortable. Mm-hmm. It fits my orthotics. Yes. As an old lady. Yes. I need it.

Carrie: 46:24

And like, the funny thing is, so what's,

Kristine: 46:26

what's, why are we banning this?

Carrie: 46:28

I don't dunno. Especially Jordan's.'cause they're not supposed to wear them. Like

Kristine: 46:32

Yeah. Apparently the Nike symbol is gang related. Yeah. Well, how

Carrie: 46:36

I, I am a 37 year old mother. Yeah. I am not in a gang. I just wanna wear my Jordans to the bar. I just want my orthotics. So I ordered a really cute pair. They're not coming anyways. They're fucking lost. But, um, to fit my birthday vibe, I wanted to like, I wanted to wear pink. Yeah. I wanted to wear pink. Yeah. You know? Yeah. I wanted to be pink for my birthday. This one does. I was gonna wear pleather shorts. Pink top look cute with my sneaks. Where are you? Were you

Kristine: 47:05

um, gonna wear that on your birthday day? Yeah. Okay. I was just curious what like, what day you were planning it.'cause we have outings planned. We do. So I was curious.

Carrie: 47:12

Yeah. And so, and then I was gonna wear my matching pink sneaks. Yeah. No, they're not coming. They're lost. They're lost at the sea and like we can't even wear them. Yeah.'cause you're not allowed to wear them to the the clubs.

Kristine: 47:22

Well what were you, oh yeah, we're gonna go to the piano bar on that. On your birthday night maybe. Yeah, potentially. So. Potentially could get away with it there. We

Carrie: 47:28

could. Absolutely could because

Kristine: 47:30

I've worn them there. Yeah. But yeah. Oh, that's so fucking numb. Yeah.

Carrie: 47:35

I'm upset and I wanna know if like, this is like old and they've relaxed it a bit.'cause I swear when Jason and I went to

Kristine: 47:41

Juul, Carrie and JCO clubbing. Yeah. I

Carrie: 47:45

swear the kids were in the sneakers. Probably. But I wonder if it makes a difference if they're just like all white sneakers versus like, You know, like if you're wearing like all white versus something more casual, like maybe a

Kristine: 47:58

colorful sneaker maybe, or like a, a high

Carrie: 48:01

versus low or something. I don't, I don't wanna wr and I ordered mids, so casual. Um, I don't wanna risk getting all the way to the bar and then being like, sorry, ma'am. Your shoes aren't allowed. Like Yeah, like it happened to us once there. Yes. Not you and I but the boys. Yeah. Yeah.

Kristine: 48:17

Well we were

Carrie: 48:18

dressed appropriately. Well, the, that place sucked anyways. That was, we

Kristine: 48:21

should have fucking left. Shitty. I don't know why we stayed. I, but whatever. I know. Yeah. We went to, I can't, what was it called? It was in the

Carrie: 48:27

Bellagio. Yeah. I don't remember because we only went there the one time. Yeah. Because it used to my, so my old favorite restaurant in all of Vegas was called cco. It was the best, it was an Italian restaurant in Bellagio. It looked over the fountains and it was Italian and the food was phenomenal. And like the ambiance was amazing because you were looking out over the fountains. Yeah. Which are probably one of my favorite parts of Vegas, which I know is so like cliche, but I just love it. And. It was so good. They fucking, it was gone. Yeah. And they replaced it with this little like tofu bar kind of vibe. And it

Kristine: 48:58

was like super trendy. Like very modern. There's lots of like different lights and stuff in it. Yeah. And it was just, it was too much. And Yeah. The, yeah. The boys showed up in dress shorts. Yep. They were very nice shorts. Yep. But they were not allowed in because they were not in pants full pant. So it was August, so it was like plus 40, like it was hot. Yeah. And, uh, yeah. So the boys had to go back and change. So they did, they got their back like another 45 minutes later or whatever. Mm-hmm. And Carrie and I went in and had some drinks and, but like, we never went back.

Carrie: 49:32

No. The food, it wasn't, I like, tops are fine, but like, I like food and I like a, like a meal. I, I can't get full. Yeah. You know what I mean? I'm never getting full. I agree.

Kristine: 49:44

So I went to, what's that place here in Short Park? Yeah, I went to that place. Yep. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah. If you think of it, name it. Yep. Because it was delicious. Yep. And I loved it. I went with Michelle Ashley, like Yeah. Yeah. A long, long, like a while back. Yeah. But anyway, we went and like, I'm, I'm not getting satisfied, like I'm not filling my stomach because like, there's just not enough. Mm-hmm. And I want like a meal. Yeah. It's just like snackies. I want my own.

Carrie: 50:10

Yeah. But like I, it's just you're just eating snack. Like that's a midday thing. Yeah. That's not a dinner thing.

Kristine: 50:14

I agree. It's not. And I like to eat. I like, I really like to pack it in

Carrie: 50:18

Well when

Kristine: 50:19

Vegas, so Yeah. Yeah. Tap is out. Meals are in, meals are in meals are in, yeah. So yeah, we're, we're doing, we're going to Mastros for Carrie's

Carrie: 50:28

birthday and like our husbands will never get full off taco snacks.

Kristine: 50:33

God, they, we spent so much money if we did that. Yeah. Oh yeah. But we were talking about, um, clubbing. So Carrie and Jace last year. Yep. Last year? Yeah, it was last year. Um, we went back to the hotel. We had a really big dinner. No, it wasn't Masters night. I looked it up. It wasn't Masters night. No. Oh, it not? No, we were just fucking tired. So we got back to the hotel. We were

Carrie: 50:55

changing. It was, because remember, they wouldn't, they wouldn't let me into the, the nightclub.'cause my nipples were Yes. Right.

Kristine: 51:00

So we went to change, and then Nick and I just, we were so tired and like, I was pretty drunk. Like I was pretty drunk. I couldn't life anymore, but I was like, my feet were so exhausted I couldn't even get them in my shoes anymore. Yeah. So I'm like, I need to go to bed. And Nick's like, well, I'm tired too. I'm gonna go to bed. So I went to bed. Nick went to bed and Carrie and Jace went out clubbing. We

Carrie: 51:22

did. I was like, I'm not ready to go to bed. No. Was like, I don't go to bed. Jason clubbing. Jason's like, well, I don't wanna go to bed, like, let's go out. So we didn't know where we were going. We were just heading out. Um, yeah. So it was this night where we walked to the giant chicken. Oh yeah. That was the night that we went. Jason and I went out that night. What was I wearing? Um, you were wearing Gracely

Kristine: 51:43

skirt. Skirt, uh, the pleather one.

Carrie: 51:47

With the knot? Nope. I was wearing the pleather one that night. You were wearing like a, oh, maybe you were, I don't know what you were wearing.

Kristine: 51:55

Well, show me the cock, the cook

Carrie: 51:57

photo? Yeah. The big rooster I was trying to screw. Maybe the fabric

Kristine: 52:01

one. Yeah. No, that's the, that's the grace and lace one I

Carrie: 52:04

think. Oh, well that's what I was wearing that night. That would be weird.

Kristine: 52:07

Okay. Maybe it's the fabric one. Yeah. The do and ray

Carrie: 52:09

one or something. Yes. I look,

Kristine: 52:12

yes. Not good here. I thought I looked great. I don't look good here. Yeah. Um, and then it just a bra at top we had, yeah. Yeah. The Lexie I think. Yeah. Which is like one of my favorites. Yeah. Holy cow. Yeah. I don't like that photo of me. Yeah. I'd rather not look at that ever again. So

Carrie: 52:31

that is the night that we went. So we must've gone to the piano bar. It was this night as well that Jace took the

Kristine: 52:36

phone. Jace always does weird shit in the elevator. Like he's he'll, speaking of stealing he'll. Oh yeah. And we went up here. Oh yeah, that was fun. Yeah. So we, uh, Jace always takes, like, if there's a food and beverage cart in the hallway, he'll always go put it in front of somebody's door. So if they open the door, they walk into it. He's such a, we've talked before about how Yeah. He's a shit disturber. Yeah. He is such a shit. Disturber. Yeah. Uh, there was a phone in the hotel, like on one of the end tables by the elevators, and he took the, the phone and. He put it in the elevator and he was pretending to call people and yeah, he

Carrie: 53:11

plugged it into his drink. Yeah, it's my favorite part. He does weird sun shit. So that, that's the night Jason and I went to Juul, so yeah, you were just tired and so feet, feet, feet were exhausted. Feet. And I was like, well, I wanna go somewhere. And Jason's like, yeah, let's go downstairs. And then we wandered down to Juul. And So is Juul the one in the aria? Yeah. Yeah. So I was wearing like a bodysuit, but it has like, kind of like a sheer top. Yeah. And they wouldn't let me in

Kristine: 53:40

with like lace details. Yeah. So it did cover but not a hundred percent. Yeah. Of where it needed to be covered for their liking apparently.

Carrie: 53:49

Yeah. He, so we got to the front of the line and he's like, yeah, sorry, you, you can't have your nipples showing. And I was like, stunned. And I was like, oh. I'm like, that's okay. I have a bra in my purse because I was worried that I was going to get out and about and the lights were gonna be on me and that you were actually gonna be able to see through my top right. Which you couldn't. But um, so I went behind the escalator. Around the corner. Yeah. And I changed into my bralet and then put my top back up. It's

Kristine: 54:18

so funny because you couldn't even see like your nipples. No. It was like areola ever so slightly. Mm-hmm. Like you could see like the coloring. It wasn't like, and it's

Carrie: 54:26

Vegas. Yeah. Like it's Vegas. Yeah. So weird. But yeah. So anyways, so we went there, freeze Nip had some

Kristine: 54:34

drinks, we went dancing. Danced. Good for

Carrie: 54:37

you. Yeah. And we just like people watched.

Kristine: 54:39

Yeah. So this year I promised Carrie that I would go clubbing. I will get a foot massage before you're gonna make it. I'm gonna make it. I actually told Jordan today at physio. I said, Jordan, we're gonna have to probably do some serious physio when I get back from Vegas.'cause I'm gonna be dancing, I'm going clubbing. Yeah. And,

Carrie: 54:58

uh, you're gonna make it. Yeah. You know what, but every trip, there's always one night that you don't make it. I,

Kristine: 55:03

well, I either drink too much Yeah. Or my feet swell up like balloons. Yeah. And they and they do that in the heat. Yeah. Always have. Always. Well, you and Nick are just like the sleepy bears.

Carrie: 55:13

We like to sleep. You just like to go to bed and you guys like to get up early and go get coffee. Yeah. And she and I don't,

Kristine: 55:18

yeah. I'll meet Nick at the, at the coffee bar downstairs. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we're the same. Yeah. And that's fine. But I promised it's gonna happen and I want to go. And I've always wanted to go, like when you and I went, we had the best time. Yeah. So much fun. I just. And also like last year, I wasn't sleeping very well. Um, and I mean, it hasn't gotten better, but mm-hmm. I'll be fine excuses, Christine. Mm-hmm. You'll be fine. Yeah, I'll be fine. It's gonna be good. So next, uh, in a couple episodes, you'll, you guys will get the update. Did Christine go clubbing? Did she not, did she make it? How swollen were her feet? She's, I'm gonna have to go by, I actually was thinking last night I need to go find some like flats. Oh yeah. Um, because if we can't wear sneakers, yeah. I'm gonna, I can't wear heels'cause I will not make it. I need to find some sort of footwear that I can actually get away with, with swelling because that's my problem. I don't really have any. So I have some like really nice sneakers, but I still don't think they're gonna let me in. Yeah, no.

Carrie: 56:18

So it says no sneakers at all,

Kristine: 56:20

which is a bummer. It really is a bummer. So yeah, I'm gonna have to find some sort of footwear. Some orthotic footwear. Yeah. But yeah. And what time is it? We should probably get going.

Carrie: 56:29

I'm okay so I don't have to be left

Kristine: 56:31

for five minutes. Okay. Yeah. Well we should do our, come here. Oh, right. Fuck. Miracle. Yeah.
