Kristine 0:07

Oh, hey, it's Christine and Carrie and we are best

Carrie 0:10

friends and we are the owners of Lavender and Lace Boutique, a online women's boutique based outta Sher Park, Alberta. And honestly, we started our podcast just to, uh, hear

Kristine 0:20

ourselves talk. We sure did. Welcome to Two Babes Podcast. Welcome to two Babes. Two babes in a bad

Carrie 0:25

idea. Two babes in a very

Kristine 0:27

bad idea. Poor decision making

Carrie 0:31

microphones who? Who gave these to

Kristine 0:33

us? Jay? Set them up. He probably regrets everything. He is like, what the fuck was I thinking? Oh God. Okay, so last episode, we, uh, we were, we mentioned that we were prepared. Carrie sent me proposals of ideas. Yeah. When we said we were gonna do this episode on, uh, uh, what your mom never told you. Yeah. Things never said. Well, guess what? That went out

Carrie 0:59

the fucking window. Yeah. That's gonna have to be next week. We just, the being the short week this week, we

Kristine 1:04

just don't have time to even like no girl. We don't have time. No. If we wanted to do this, we'd probably have to like set up in the bathroom so we can at least have time to pee too. Yeah.

Carrie 1:13

And like it's not even just the recording. It takes a long time to edit. It's Wednesday, we have to submit it in the next couple hours. Like it's just, it's just not real life people. We just don't have time. Welcome to the real life world of business owners who just don't have time for shit.

Kristine 1:28

Yeah. Do you know what, speaking of being business owners, and I know we kind of discussed this earlier, uh, earlier we had a meeting with one of our staff members, um, and she just commented on how we're doing a good job and like, we've got a really cool thing going. Um, I just wanna say that was like one of the coolest moments. It was just really nice. It's nice to hear. It was really nice to hear. Yeah, because sometimes I feel like, We're chasing our tails or Yeah. You know,'cause it's chaos. Yeah. And it was just, it was nice that it, yeah. It's recognized that we are don't doing something

Carrie 1:59

good lately. The last couple months here, Christine and I just, I feel like we're constantly playing catch up. Like we're never mm-hmm. We haven't, I don't even know the last time I was ahead, which is kind of laughable because I remember back in February when I was like, wow, we have so much extra time to do stuff. And now we're always behind and it's really hard to like take a look at like what we've. Been accomplished this year. Yeah.'cause I just don't even have time. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. So we decided we were gonna turn this episode into a little question and answer. Shoot the shit, that kind of stuff. Yeah. So, um, how was your long weekend? It was really good. So I

Kristine 2:34

don't, honestly don't really remember what I did too much. You

Carrie 2:38

purged. Yeah. That was the big and not, not like. But, but

Kristine 2:47

I was thinking of like the horror movie. The Purge. The Purge. Did

Carrie 2:50

we watch that recently? Was that the one we watched? No. What was the scary movie We just watched Insidious. That was terrible. You didn't like it? Well, like.

Kristine 2:58

It was just fucking weird. It was weird. And I like didn't actually like sit down and watch it, but I didn't like the parts that I saw, like the weird people that were there. Yeah. Yeah. Don't do that. Just don't do that. Yeah. Um, yeah, so my weekend, I feel like it mostly co consist well, you guys came over Friday for dinner. Yeah, we went out for a walk. Yeah, we got high and went for a walk

Carrie 3:21

gummies. You guys, they really

Kristine 3:23

just, they're just different. It's great. Yeah, it's just good. Um, and then, yeah, Jason, I spent, um, pretty much all Saturday from like nine 30 in the morning to eight 30 at night cleaning and, and purging getting rid of just crap. It's incredible how much stuff you accumulate and like, I'm so excited. Yeah. To like come home to a clean, fresh house. And I know that there's more that we could even, we could toss. Mm-hmm. Um, we're moving in the next six months or so. So like, just getting ahead of the game just feels good. Mm-hmm. Um, and then Scarlet had a date with my mom and, and her boyfriend. And, and it was great. We had some time at home alone, kind of. It was great. Um, that was it. I did start, um, Oh, I guess, oh, I did a lot of like putting my outfits and my outfit together for like the Jones Brothers concert and stuff. Mm-hmm. And getting kind of prepared that way. Oh, um,

Carrie 4:17

sorry. Yes. Gord asked for approval so he can make our shirts. I'll go look right now.

Kristine 4:21

Sorry. Keep going. Um, no, that's great. And then, yeah, so it was just kind of a bunch of like, who's it and what's, it's this weekend. Mm-hmm. I did start, uh, I started reading a book. Um, I started reading the, uh, perfect Strangers, the book that Carrie was reading. Last episode, I believe. Yep. And um, I'm only about five chapters in and I'm really enjoying it. Yeah, it's good. I'm really enjoy, it's very dirty right off the hook. Oh. Like sex, sex, sex, sex, sex. And I like that. Yeah. So I was very happy. Um, I think that's for the most part. My weekend, I'm probably missing something very significant.

Carrie 4:55

I don't think so. No. No, I don't. I really don't. Our walk Friday was, you know, you went, if, have we talked about the lawn on here? I don't know. Okay. Well, we'll, we'll talk about it when we get to talk about yesterday. So I started. I read a book, um, this weekend. It was called Gravity by Sarah Kate. If we're talking about books, are we there now? Yeah, we're here. It was Gravity by Sarah Kate. So if you've listened before you know that Sarah Kate is like one of my fav authors. Okay. It was good. And I think that if you're into this genre, you would also really enjoy it'cause it's a really good book. Um, it's a girl and she's hooking up with the son and the dad. Oh, good for her. Yeah. Good for her. Like they're billionaires and she's banging'em both. Good for her. Yeah. So I just, I don't know if that's my, I don't know if like, you know, sleeping with like a guy and his dad is like one of those things that's on my list. So I don't know if that's why I didn't enjoy, like, it's not that I didn't enjoy it, I really liked it. It's just, it, it wasn't my fve. It

Kristine 6:11

has to be like, The perfect

Carrie 6:14

pair. And it was, yeah, like the dad is like a rich silver fox. He owns a business. He flies helicopters. Like he's, he's hot as hell. The sun is like this, like little, like he's a playboy. He's sexy. Like it don't get me wrong, like yeah, it was good.

Kristine 6:32

It's hard to relate to when. With my past boyfriends.

Carrie 6:38

Yeah. Or current, you know, like I couldn't imagine.

Kristine 6:43

No. And so fantasy, I think that's why I gross. It's, I just, you know, it's

Carrie 6:49

hard to relate to. There's certain things that I love to read about. There's certain, like, you know, things that I do enjoy to read about. This is just, I don't know if this was my job.

Kristine 7:00

That's all. And that's totally fine.

Carrie 7:01

Yeah. Can't win em all. No. Um, and now I'm reading Caught Stealing. So it's the second book in a series. Um, it just came, I think it came out a little while ago. Um, the, it's called Leighton University is the series. So the first one was about two rivals, um, on hockey. Like a hockey team? Yeah. And they were, they ended up hooking up. Oh yeah. And. They won. They were on a losing streak and because they played hockey together, they were on a losing streak. And after they hooked up, they started winning. Oh. So to keep up with, you know, their superstitions, they hooked up before every game. I like that. What book is this one called? Um, around, hold on, it's called Iced Out. Iced Out. So Iced Out was the first one. I read that quite a while ago. And then the second one, I just hadn't gotten to it yet, so I'm reading the second one now is called Caught Stealing. So again, it is like the male, male, like. I think I'd

Kristine 8:03

like this. Yeah,

Carrie 8:04

you would. Really good series. Yeah, so I'm reading the second one right now and it's really good too. Good. Like I'm like 60% of the way through and like I'm thoroughly enjoying it. So it is about two best friends and they're both like openly gay and they both play sports. So one is on a football team, one is on a baseball team, and. The, the best friend of the main character, he starts dating like this Playboy at school. And like the main character, he's not into it. Like, he doesn't like that his best friend is dating this guy'cause he thinks it's like he's gonna. He's gonna end up, uh, with him. Like he just thinks he's gonna end up getting hurt. Oh. And it's his best friend. He doesn't want that to happen. Okay. Yeah. Fair. So he's trying to like, stop it. Yeah. But in the process of stopping it, he also starts hooking up with

Kristine 8:56

this guy. Oh God. The same boy? Yeah. Oh no. Yeah. What about the code?

9:01

Uh,

Carrie 9:02

well, yeah. Oh God, it doesn't matter. It's good. Oh my God. It, I don't wanna give too much away, so like, I'll read it. Yeah. And you might notice, by the way, on the old kindie when you're reading, there's a lot of kids' books on there. Uh, Brooke's been reading her Kindle. Oh, okay. And so if you're like, wow, Carrie, why are you reading Scaredy Bat? The Scaredy bat series? That's funny. A vampire detective story. Yeah. It's because it's Brooke reading it, not me.

Kristine 9:28

Okay. I'm rarely on the wifi on it. Yeah. I usually like download my book and then shut it off. Yeah. Um, so I probably won't

Carrie 9:34

notice for quite some time. Um, if anyone wants to know how to, if you have a Kindle and maybe you wanna buy one for one of your kids or you want them to read yours, if you wanna know how to set up the kids portion of it, it's pretty easy. I can always let you guys know'cause I did that for break. Yeah, that's good. I got a new one and gave her my old one. Yeah, that's works. It did. That works nicely. Yeah. And she loves it. She's good reading it. So, so yeah, that's the book I'm reading right now. So by next episode I'll be able to give the full recap. Can wait, I'm already gonna tell you it's a five

Kristine 10:01

out five for me. I cannot wait. I just, I can't

Carrie 10:04

wait. There's just something about it for me.

Kristine 10:07

Um, this is completely off topic, but I wanna make sure that we touch base before, uh, we forget again. Mm-hmm. We want to say that we forgot to do Fuck Mary kill last episode. We did. And we know that. We do, we know it now. It took us three days to figure that out. Yeah. But we know, and we are so sorry'cause the, like, we, we love it. Yeah. And I don't know what happened. It's one of our favorite things to do and we know how much you guys love it too. Uh, we had some messages being like, um, what happened? Uh, we don't know. No, I, I think we've just like, we just didn't, I think. Our brains have been everywhere, but on our shoulders. Yep. Our brains aren't actually on our shoulders or in our head. No. But you know, we were just a little bit. Fanuc so we know. Mm-hmm. Like we know. Mm-hmm.

Carrie 10:58

Yeah. Mm-hmm. It happened. It

Kristine 11:00

did happen. Yeah. So we apologize.

Carrie 11:02

I don't, and like I didn't even, I knew when we were finishing that it just didn't feel complete. But I also didn't know why and we just rolled with it.'cause honestly, like we mentioned, we've just been so busy. So busy.

Kristine 11:15

Yeah. Yeah. So that was dumb. We apologize. Mm-hmm. Um, Like what I said in Vegas, don't fucking comfort us.

Carrie 11:27

Yeah. And I don't know what I did this weekend. I did a lot of reading. Yeah. I wanted to like reset my whole life as I've been mentioning. So I got all my shit together. Okay. Like, My like, just like got myself organized, felt good, you know? Yeah. Did. Finished all my laundry, got all done. Good. Organized. Organized. Everything feels good. Everything else is really, or like my house doesn't really need like organizing in general, but I just felt like I needed to just like, you know. Yeah. Do my normal routine that I do on Fridays. Yes. Do the bedding, do the towels, get laundry going, blah, blah, blah. And then, you know what I did? What did you On Friday, I washed jeans and I was like, oh, it's a beautiful day. The sun's out. Oh, right. So I put our jeans outside, hung them out to dry. Forgot about them. The smoke rolled in Friday night, so all of our jeans smelt like a fricking campfire. So I had to rewash them twice to get it out. Oh God, it was so strong. I was gonna say, smoke is so strong it selt. Like I threw them in a campfire.

Kristine 12:23

Yeah. Nice. Yeah, they stunk.

Carrie 12:25

So I did that and then there the weekend we really just relaxed. Um, After Brook's first week of school, like Jim was just a couple days, but she was tired and I was tired, and Nick was tired. He was just coming back from a cold, so we just kind of took it easy, played games. I love that. Watch

Kristine 12:42

movies. Chilled good. Yeah, that was same thing. Yeah. Just relaxed, you know, made a few bracelets here and there. If

Carrie 12:49

you know what last, last year though? Yeah, like September long weekend was beautiful. Yeah. We were in the pool every single day. We made that video with the cans. What a freaking shame. And like this weekend, this year. Long weekend crap.

Kristine 13:02

Such crap. Such garbage. Yeah, it's upsetting. But we'll make do, I guess. Mm-hmm. But I, whatever, I guess I know. Anyway. We're very bitter about it. We are a little bitter about it. Sad. Just'cause like our summers are usually spent outside. Yeah. In the backyard. I feel like

Carrie 13:23

I've barely spent any time outside compared to normal summers. Yeah.

Kristine 13:27

I, and we usually like, um, maybe skip outta work a little early Yes. And go to the pool. We didn't get any of that. No. Because of how smoky and then, or how rainy it's been. Yeah. We didn't get anything. It's not

Carrie 13:39

a nice summer. Mm-hmm. And like, Like sometimes in the evenings we'd eat dinner outside and like we'd, Brooke would run around in the backyard and nobody dyed their hair outside this year. No, there was nothing. It's upsetting and like, you know, normally, like we'd go for like a walk-in scooter. We barely did that this summer.

Kristine 13:58

Same. Same. Scarlet didn't take our bike out. We took it out once.

Carrie 14:02

Yeah. No, no, no. Like we did nothing. Mm-hmm. Because there was no, there wasn't enough Nice stays. No, I agree with you because Brooke and I both have asthma. I won't go out when the smoke's bad. So like No,

Kristine 14:12

it's a no for me. It's so bad this weekend. It was, it was awful. Yeah. I'm, I can't, we're lucky we were able to go out last

Carrie 14:18

night. I can't even imagine how bad it is. Closer to the fires. Mm-hmm. So, really sad, but, Then what did we do last night? If you follow us on Instagram, you already know. Yeah.

Kristine 14:30

Carrie and I went, so this is how it played out. So, Yesterday, during the day, I was like, I really hope the weather's nice.'cause I really wanna go get high and go for a walk. And then Carrie hopped outta the car when I dropped her off and she's like, let's do this tonight. I'll let you know when I'm available. I'm like, perfect. So she texts me around, I don't know, six o'clock. And she's like, let's go. Let's go for a walk. What time works for you? Let's do seven 30, blah, blah, blah. And she's like, I'm gonna go pop my gummies right now. She's like, you know what, let's do 10 milligrams today. And I'm like, yeah, let's fucking do it. Yolo. Yo, let's do it. So I 10 milligrams down the hatch, and, uh, then I get all my, I get all geared up, you know, ready to go. And then I say goodbye to my family and I head outside and I text Gary and I say, holy fuck, it's raining. It is raining.

Carrie 15:20

Really hard. Old man was, Snoring guys. So

Kristine 15:23

he was snoring hard. So he, so he, so I text her and I was like, do you still wanna go? Like, we got, Jace is gonna fucking kill me if I stay home like this. This isn't gonna work.

Carrie 15:34

No, I had to get out the house. Yeah, I would've, I would've clawed my eyes

Kristine 15:37

out. We were, we haven't even, like, I haven't even left the house yet and I was like, I was so high, so high. So carrie's like, no, we're going, let's get our rain jackets on. So we get geared up again, and then we head outside and, I, we, we meet in the middle and we are both lapping so hard as we're walking towards each other. Lapping,

Carrie 15:58

hyenas, because I'm like, in my head, I'm like, o only us only us would go walking in this shit, pouring

Kristine 16:06

rain, pouring fucking rain. And I thought Carrie was standing at the bottom of her driveway.'cause I didn't have my contacts on. Or in, or my glasses on. So I couldn't really see her like, well, but I could see her. So I thought she was standing on the bottom of the driveway just staring at me. But. Turns out she was actually moving closer to me, but I just was laughing. I thought it was the funniest thing in the entire planet. There's just

Carrie 16:29

so much, so much. And so here's the thing, if you, if gummies are something that you enjoy, uh, the occasional evening because it, I don't know, they make me feel so like light and happy. Go for a walk. Have them go for a walk.

Kristine 16:42

Being outside is like the funniest, funniest experience I've ever had. It is

Carrie 16:48

fucking amazing. It's so like gummies for me. Um, Uh, like back when I first started, like dabbling in having gummies in the evening, it was mostly for my anxiety. Mm-hmm. It was like the one thing that really like helped take the edge off when my anxiety was super bad because at night my anxiety was the worst. Yeah. And I'd lay in bed thinking about everything that was wrong or everything that could potentially go wrong. And when I had gummies it would just like silence that part of my brain. And so when I went on my first gummy walk, I just, I said to Christine, I'm like, that was like the most amazing evening of my life. Euphoric. It was, yeah. It's like everything's so bright and colorful and like, you just have no worries. Yeah. And you're just like out there in the world and like everything just, you're just so happy. So happy. And so one night I was like, do you wanna come on a high walk with me? And Christina's like, oh yeah, yeah. Now we go like once a week.

Kristine 17:47

Absolutely. Like, I love it so much. We went Friday anyway yesterday. And for me, when I take gummies, when I'm at home, I get super paranoid. Like my brain just just goes

Carrie 17:57

like fast. Like when you, you thought someone was coming to Kidnap Scarlet, and so you wanted to sleep outside her bedroom door, correct? Yeah. Yeah.

Kristine 18:04

That was a bed night for me. I was. Uh, like is the term greened out still used? I don't know. Like I was out of control. That's what the night that I was texting Jace, like every two seconds I was like, are you home yet? Are you home yet? You need to come home. Like, I need you home. And he was like, I'm, I'm coming home like 20 minutes. And like 10 minutes had passed. I'm like, you said you were gonna be home. He said, yeah, in 10 more minutes, it's fine. It was so bad. But yeah, I get really paranoid, but on the walks I feel like I'm distracted and it's almost like a safe place.'cause carrie's there with me too and like yeah. It's just fine. It's fine, but everything is so beautiful, so nice and funny.

Carrie 18:42

We laugh, like I laugh so hard. My abs hurt the next day. Yeah, same. Same. And like how often, you know, like you can't say that. That happens very often. How often do you say? Stand or sit with your friend and laugh so hard that your abs hurt the next day. Like it doesn't happen enough. Yeah. But

Kristine 19:00

on our walks, everything is hilarious. Like yesterday, this is one of my new favorite stories. I actually, yesterday when it happened, I told Carrie, do not forget this, and I didn't. I need. To know this tomorrow. Um, so we were walking around this, uh, pond, this little lake, and, uh, I again didn't have my glasses or contacts on, so I am walking and I see this slug. And I think, wow, that's a big slug. So I, I, you know, I got my hands on my thighs and I'm bent over and I'm looking at this slug, and I think it's moving and then it's not moving. And I'm like, oh, maybe that's a rock. And Carrie comes over around to look at it and she's like, uh, that's a piece of shit. It was a fucking goose turd on the sidewalk that I was staring at for probably a minute and a half. I felt like eight days. It was

Carrie 19:58

probably like 10 seconds maybe.

Kristine 20:00

And it was, it was a goose shit, and I thought was a slug. It not even like a snake. I thought it was a slug. A slug. It was poop.

Carrie 20:09

It was poop. I'm like, oh, that's, that's poop. That, that's a piece of poop. That's goose shit. Yeah. It was just yesterday was like extra. And I, because normally I don't have that much when we go for a walks, because I like to still kind of have my witts about me somewhat. Yeah. Last night was like, no wits, no. And. Sometimes Christine and I'll like, even at like with gummies, we'll like talk about work or we'll just like shoot the shit about like, no, no. We were literally talking about nonsense. It was nonsense from the beginning to the end. I wish I could remember the

Kristine 20:44

conversations that we had, but like they were, I. Garbage. And so intense though.

Carrie 20:48

So intense. Like like when we got on a topic, like we were in it. In

Kristine 20:53

it. Yeah. And then we would just like stop talking and then we'd just walk in silence. So slowly and I don't know how long. Yeah. Oh my God. So slow. So slow. You guys like a 14 minute kilometer. That's. That's double what I would consider my slow run.

Carrie 21:12

That's way slower than even my most hungover walk that I've done. I've never in my life, in my a hundred days of walking, did I walk slower than an 11 and a half minute kilometer. And that's just like on a hungover day or like a tired day. Yeah. We 14 and a half minutes to walk a kilometer. That's insane. It's'cause I think we

Kristine 21:34

stopped a lot too. I think so we looked at the green lawn, the green lawn key. There is this lawn. You guys, we, we were just discussing, um, off podcasting. We don't know. We've talked about it before, but there is this lawn that is the most immaculate. It's spectacular lawn. It's so green. I'm surprised he doesn't have fucking laser beams around his lawn.

Carrie 21:57

He doesn't.'cause you sat on it. I. Yesterday, last week on Friday. Oh yeah. I did touch it. You touched it. You didn't sit on it, but you approached

Kristine 22:04

next to it Yeah. And sent a picture to Sarah

Carrie 22:07

and you, it didn't, you didn't get locked up?

Kristine 22:08

No, but like, yeah. I'm surprised it doesn't have mm-hmm. Laser beams or like an alarm system.'cause it is, the blades are just,

Carrie 22:14

I think he must trim the edges with scissors. A hundred percent. I've never seen lawn that precise

Kristine 22:20

and it's so beautifully green and you can see so green, the mow lines, like they're just perfection.

Carrie 22:26

So like I think he mows it like three times a week at least.

Kristine 22:30

Oh yeah. So seeing this like not high sober, it's beautiful seeing it when you are in some sort of weird ass dimension that we are in, it was like, whoa, we're. Whoa, whoa. It was amazing. There's also a house

Carrie 22:48

that it, it's actually, it's like a dark. Like a burgundy brown color. And when we go walk by it, it's purple.

Kristine 22:57

It is purple, but it's not. But when you're not high, it's brown. So we're a little confused. It's so purple. So

Carrie 23:05

purple. The other day I was like, that is the purples house I've ever seen. And then the next day I walked by, I'm like, that house isn't purple. It's brown. It's brown. Like a burgundy brown, like a burnt brown, like a burnt,

Kristine 23:15

maybe it's the lighting. What we've been passed by it. I just don't understand. Is it, I dunno. Maybe it's like a mood ring, you know, like maybe they're, I

Carrie 23:26

already told you my theory. It's like the fucking house on Harry Potter. They're changing the colors. Oh yeah. The prisoner of

Kristine 23:32

ban. Yeah. They're changing it. I love, I love Harry Potter. Me too. We should watch that. We should watch that high.

Carrie 23:38

You, you know, let's just do everything. Hi.

Kristine 23:42

Be so funny.

Carrie 23:43

Uh, so that was our night last night and honestly used to have like a rockstar. I

Kristine 23:47

did. Oh my, hit my rim. Let's get my app here. So I bought one of those whoop bands. And, uh, I, a lot of our followers know that I've been like struggling this year. Exponentially with my sleep. Um, and I've been sick a lot this year, so I'm really trying to get a handle on it. Mm-hmm. And seeing, uh, I thought maybe if this could give me a little more insight of my lifestyle, of what I'm can maybe change to not be so sick and tired. Sick and tired of being sick and tired. Yeah. So anyway, so my sleep last night, this whoop band told me that I hit 30% of my sleep was in rem. That's crazy. That's not typical for me, so I must have just been

Carrie 24:28

right out. I'm so, I'm so curious what mine is. Yeah. So I was like, I don't want one of those, but I, I want one just for that. Yeah.

Kristine 24:36

Fair enough. Yeah. Yeah. It gives you so much information. So it was awake 5% of my sleep last night, so just periodically awake. Um, which is wild. I don't remember that. Uh, light sleep, 50%. Deep sleep. 15%. Is

Carrie 24:53

there like a, is there like a, like a, um, optimal Yes. Breakdown that people should be getting?

Kristine 25:01

For myself, it tells me so,

Carrie 25:03

but like what, what about like a perfect sleep?

Kristine 25:07

Uh, it just depends. Depends on your person. Oh, okay. For a person, for, from what this

Carrie 25:11

says. Okay. I was just wondering if there's like an optimal sleep percentage.

Kristine 25:16

So tonight, I, my sleep needed is seven hours and 46 minutes. There might be. Mm-hmm. It doesn't tell me that. I

Carrie 25:26

was just wondering if there was an optimal ratio of like, you should be getting this much rem, this much, this much light sleep, this much away. Like, you know what I mean? Yeah. What's the, what's, what's, what does an ideal person,

Kristine 25:39

my average sleep need this month is seven hours and 42 minutes. That's so nice.

Carrie 25:43

And it tells you how much you need based on like how you feel the next day. Yeah.'cause it feels it's wild. So, I told you like, oh, okay, you need a balance of around 25% REM and 25% of N rem. Deep sleep. Deep sleep.

Kristine 25:58

Interesting. Yeah.

Carrie 26:00

Want time to be alive. Yeah. Yeah. So it's really neat. So it makes me want one, but I like, I don't want one at the same time, you know?

Kristine 26:06

Yeah. So one of the things that I heard about and read about was that you can kind of get a little addicted to the numbers. Mm-hmm. I'm not too worried about that for myself. Um, I'm just more so wanting to like, See what I can fix.

Carrie 26:21

Yeah. But that's kind of one of the, a pleasure

Kristine 26:24

life. Yeah. Yeah. I met a lady at the Ryan dinner. Yeah. She wore one for three years and then she decided to quit, but just take a break from it. And she's like, you get a little addicted to it, but she's like, I, it basically told her every time she ate Pierogis she would, her recovery would go down. Interesting. She's like, my body didn't like it, and it happened every single time. I ate pierogi. I'm like, oh, pierogi.

Carrie 26:49

Yeah, right. Yeah. I'd be really sad about that if it told me I didn't, I couldn't eat ies I'd like,

Kristine 26:54

so it must have been like, I don't know, maybe the corpse or something, but who knows? But anyway, so yeah, I did sleep a rock like rock last night.'cause I like rock. Like rock because I was just, I was out. Yeah, I was. I watched Lost in bed with Jace last night and I thought I was in the fucking jungle.

Carrie 27:15

Yeah. So funny. So funny. Okay, so do you have some, you had some, some questions

Kristine 27:20

for us? Yeah. Okay. So another thing Carrie and I really fucked up on lately is actually asking for listener questions. And we promised we would get better at that. So the other day, um, I did post, I did a little story asking if you guys had any questions and we've had some in our inbox as well that we mm-hmm. Haven't touched on. That's perfect. So there's a couple, um, individual specific Oh, and then there's a couple, just generic. Okay. Um, Carrie, yes. This isn't for you. Yeah. Um, how's carrie's five Ks going and what's your streak?

Carrie 27:56

Oh, I love that. Yeah. Um, so I'm still going, yes, still fi I did it last night actually. Right? A meal took me 8,000 years. Um, I don't know at this time what my streak is. Okay. I gotta be over a hundred

Kristine 28:09

days. That's fucking awesome. Yeah. Congratulations.

Carrie 28:12

Thank you. So it's, yeah, it's going really good. I still like, I love it and I wanna get to a point where like, Because for the whole summer, like no matter what was going on, like that was my priority and I still want that, but I don't wanna have the obligation where it like fucks up my day. Yeah. Because sometimes that did happen where like I'd be stressed out'cause I'm trying, I was trying to fit it in. Right.'cause some days I'm just, Too busy. I hate that. You know? So I didn't like that part of it, but I still do wanna try to walk every day. Maybe it won't be five, maybe I won't like focus as much on like the five kilometers, but more just like making sure I get my 10,000 steps and making sure I'm closing all my rings and just like overall. Yeah. Fair enough. Versus like honing in on that five. You

Kristine 28:55

did really well. I'm very proud of you. Thank you. Thank you. It is very hard to do something. Um, Consistently every day in a row. Yeah. For a hundred days. So you did that and that's really fucking cool. Thank you.

Carrie 29:05

So yeah, I just, I wanna get to a point, well not get to a point, I'm just going to. I'm just deciding mm-hmm. That I'm just gonna try to, you know, I will wanna go for a walk every day, but if I don't hit that five kilometers, like I just don't want, you know? Yeah. You don't want that pressure.'cause when you're trying it and'cause it, it takes the fun away from it. Totally. It takes the enjoyment away from it. Yeah. Like last night I walked around, I mean, whatever. I was like in a whole nother, I was like walking on space, but um, I was walking around my island for like half a kilometer. Like, lemme tell you, half a kilometer around an island is a lot. I was getting so dizzy.

Kristine 29:38

Yeah, that's so. Funny though, like I wish I was a fly on the wall just to watch it. Like

Carrie 29:42

wanted to die. I can just imagine. He's like I, he's like, I can't even watch this. And I'm like, I know. I'm so sorry. Like I'm scared to figure eight and run into things and wake up Brooks. So, oh, the figure eight, you

Kristine 29:52

guys, we did the biggest figure eight I've ever done in my whole life. Yesterday we started at one point of the neighborhood and like circled around my neighborhood and then circled around Carrie's and then went back up or whatever direction we went. But it was this massive figure eight you guys should have. I was. Mind blowing. I've never in my life did I think a figure eight could be that big. Yeah, it was wild times.

Carrie 30:14

It was insane. Oh my God. We're so funny. So, yeah. Yeah. Okay. So that, that's how walking's going. Good. I, I love it still, and I still wanna make it like part of my daily life. I just don't want the pressure because it something that you enjoy shouldn't cause anxiety about. Totally. How to fit it into your day. Because five K takes five K takes me an hour. Yeah. Like by the, you know, especially by the time I like, get dressed, get my shoes on, blah, blah, blah. That's not easy to slide into a day. No, it's not. Not every day. It's not, it's not easy. Some days you can't, some days no big deal. Some days it's nice, but like when it was smokey and stuff outside, but like, then I'd have to go on the treadmill for an hour and like, you know, the treadmill. Mm-hmm. So yeah, that's, that's, I'm focusing more on making sure I get my 10,000 steps a day, close all my rings. Just like general, good job, health and wellness. Yeah. Thanks. I'm proud of you. Thank.

Kristine 31:02

Um, okay. Next question is for myself. Um, You know, Christine has a running coach. Who is it? Um, and who do I, who do I use? Um, so I go through Skyline running. Um, they are through Calgary. It's a woman, a woman owned business, um, with woman. Wow. Christine, speak properly

Carrie 31:20

today, please. Jesus Christ. Did you have gummies

Kristine 31:22

today? I wish. I wish, uh, all coaches are women. That was easier to say. Uh, my coach is Brenda specifically and she's fantastic. I absolutely recommend them. They're very, very good, very hands-on. Um, First thing I said to Brenda when I met her over Zoom was, I need my hand to be held. Mm-hmm. Please hand hold my hand. I get that and, and guide me. I get that.

Carrie 31:47

Yeah. I needed it. You're like me. Yeah. Where like when you're doing something, you're always second guessing if you're doing it wrong. Yes. And you just need someone to just like

Kristine 31:54

be rattled. Yeah. And I wanted to go at this, um, with more information. Yes. I don't wanna go through injuries again. I know that's gonna happen just with. Life. Mm-hmm. And I'm old and blah, blah, blah. But I wanted to go through this with an expert and I'm doing that and I absolutely love her and I love Skyline. They're very, um, like a close-knit family type situation. Mm-hmm. It's great. 10 outta 10, highly recommend. I love that. And they are in Calgary, so I, I do everything just virtual.

Carrie 32:26

Mm-hmm. It's so nice. That was like when I worked with Tiffany. It's so nice because I had already started like, You know, working out and eating better, but I was like, what if I'm not eating enough? Yeah. What if I'm eating too much? Totally. And I just, I was like, I don't wanna, like, they're like, oh, well just, you know, track what you're eating for two weeks and see what hap I don't want that. Yeah. Like just, I just want someone to tell me, hold my hand please. Like, just guide me through this. Yeah. A hundred percent. Like, I just don't wanna second guess all the time. Mm-hmm. A hundred percent.

Kristine 32:53

I, that's, if I need an adult, I need, I need an adult. And she's great and she does like, I don't know, really cool races and stuff. So like she's still an avid runner and still wants to, wants people to hit their goals and it's, it's awesome. Highly recommend it. That's so nice. Um, this one, Kay here. This one's for, uh, for the both of us. Yeah. Have you ever tried on something during the Monday night Live that you absolutely hated? Yes, a hundred percent. We always tell

Carrie 33:22

you guys when we don't like it. Yeah. Like, it's not that I don't like the piece, but I don't like it on my body a hundred percent. And like there are just some things that no matter what, I am not going to be able to look nice because of the way my, I'm shaped. So I'm very, um, I have very, very, very long legs. Um, I have very wide hips and my soap, because my legs are long and because my hips are wide, they sit really high on my body. So if I wear like peplum, certain peplum styles where they flare out, they. They sit on a funny spot on my hip, so they go like, whoop. Yeah. And it just looks funny. Yeah. Or like some busier style tops because I don't have a lot of space from my ribs to my, um, top of my hips. Like, it's like this much. Yeah, it, it

Kristine 34:05

is.

Carrie 34:06

Yeah. It doesn't work. Doesn't, and like doesn't, there's just certain tops and stuff that just don't look good.

Kristine 34:10

Yeah. Uhhuh it happens to me

Carrie 34:12

all the time, but We'll say that like, this isn't for your body if your

Kristine 34:14

body's shaped like mine. Yep. Or I like. I'm so short, like this is gonna be massive on you if you're similar to me. Yeah, like it happens all the time and we're. Pretty darn honest about Yeah. Like there's no point in

Carrie 34:27

doesn't lying and being like, oh, this is amazing, or we figure out a way that

Kristine 34:31

it does work. Yeah. For us, i e like the, um, Nicolas or the Mar mm-hmm. Or the Marjorie, they're quite long on me. Mm-hmm. So, By tucking them up into my bra Yeah. Is another way that I can wear it and feel comfortable Yeah. In it. Mm-hmm. So like we'll always tell you like, I prefer not to wear them down on myself. Mm-hmm.'cause I just feel like it's taking swallows you hold because you're so short. Yeah. But if I do that, that I'm, yeah. The happiest little gal. Um, next question. This one, it made me laugh. Um, Carrie and I will both give our thoughts on a, on it. It's, uh, thoughts on the Joe Jonas divorce rumors, and this kind of just made me chuckle just. I was like, it's none of my business, but I do follow a lot of Jonas mother's stuff. Yeah. So it is very much in your wheelhouse of life. My wheelhouse. Yeah. Yeah. Um, my thoughts on it. It sucks. Marriage is really hard. Really, really hard. And I can't imagine being in their

Carrie 35:33

shoes. No, I can't imagine being in the spotlight and married. Yes. And

Kristine 35:37

like they have so much going on. She's busy. He's busy. Especially right now with the tour and like the tour. I dunno if you ever watched their videos and they pronounce tour. It's weird. Uh, but anyway. So like it, I just can't imagine. No. And I feel really bad that they are going through this, and I, especially with like kids involved. Exactly. They have two very tiny one's, like 14 months old. Yeah. Like fresh and the other one's three. So like, yeah, it's, I'm just laughing that I know this information, that it's just, it sucks. So that's my opinion. I feel bad for them. Do I think that it might help with publicity on their tour? Yes, probably. Because now there's all of us, 35 year old ladies who are gonna shave our coochies going to the concert just in case, you know? Yeah, you never know. Although rumor has it, he likes like 20 something year olds, so apparently I'm out. Oh, well. So Sophie t herself was. Yeah.

Carrie 36:43

25 or 27. That's like, that's like Morgan Mullen. He likes blondes. Yeah. So like I'm under no illusions here. Yeah.

Kristine 36:50

I'll still shave my legs and shit just in case, but like, just in case, you know, I don't think he's gonna pick me out of the crowd. That's too bad. I'm too short. Yeah. For him, I think. Yeah. He likes him tall. Well, yeah. And I gotta go to, Turkey to get the surgery, but Istanbul. Yeah, that's my opinion. It sucks and I feel for him and I feel for her and I feel for the children and I just, I feel for everybody and it's, it's just a lot. I can't imagine being spotlight

Carrie 37:14

work. I just can't imagine being married in the spotlight where everyone's'cause. When this first came out over the weekend, there was a lot of speculation that it wasn't true. Yeah. That it was just rumors, especially'cause he wore his ring again during a concert. Yes. And I was like, I just can't imagine being married and having this be false. Yeah. And you're dealing with that. Yeah. You know, like they didn't, obviously it ended up being true, and I'm sure they'll speak a lot more on it or maybe they won't. But it goes back to how we talked about like Brittany a couple weeks or last week. Yeah. Last week, couple weeks ago. Yeah. Something, whenever it was, whenever that was like, you know, it's all speculation mm-hmm. To have people speculate on your life Yeah. And speculate on your marriage. Yeah. It's crazy. It is crazy. And, sorry, sorry. No, go ahead. I posted on this weekend on Instagram about just, you know, I kind of took a little bit of a social media break. Yeah.'cause August was just a really hard month for me personally and professionally and. It's not because I had so many questions asking me like, is everything okay? Like, is everything okay with you and Nick? Yeah. Like, I'm not. I'm not getting divorced. Yeah. I just, I just had a rough month people. Yeah. Just took a break, you know, but that's how, that's how speculation start. Yeah. I said I was having a hard month and everyone assumes that I was getting a divorce. Yeah. And

Kristine 38:33

it goes like, yeah. There's never just a like, oh, like a happy medium type of mm-hmm. Speculation. It's like zero to hero. Yeah. Every single time. And they did. Both confirmed it. Yeah. Like they, no, totally. They did. And it is just, it's, I get it. They are in the spotlight and everybody is very much invested in their lives. Mm-hmm. As much as I am too. I get it. Mm-hmm. But we are all grown ass adults. Mm-hmm. And we're like honed in mm-hmm. On it though, as much as we are. And it's just crazy. I always find like making like, yeah. I don't know, like rumors. I

Carrie 39:11

always find it crazy. People are like so heavily involved in other people's misery. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like in, you know, it's just wild, but it is what it is

Kristine 39:24

on, uh, one of my, okay, you guys don't make fun of me for this, but I'm in like quite a few Jonas Feathers groups.

Carrie 39:29

You can make fun

Kristine 39:30

of her. It's okay. So in one of them, this girl posted. She's like, Hey ladies, like, make sure or please reconsider making any. Signs in regards to Joe's. Mm-hmm. Potential situation that's happening right before it was confirmed. And I was like, the fact that you even have to say that yeah. Is fucking nuts. Like where are you gonna, I mean, like, I wouldn't, but it'd be funny. You'd be like, well, I'm available shape a coochie this morning. You know? But I wouldn't. But like it's pretty crazy that there are people out there in the world that do that shit. Oh yeah.

Carrie 40:04

That's what I mean. People are just. So honed in on other people's, like misery. Misery. Yeah. And it's just, it's a wild concept for me. Does it make you feel better that someone else is miserable? Yeah, it's so sad and there's so many lives involved. Just relax. Just fuck it. They'll, and that's what I mean. They'll talk about it when they're ready to talk about it, or they won't at all. And you'll never know. And you'll just go on with your life because it's their

Kristine 40:24

personal life. Because it doesn't fucking affect you. No. But.

Carrie 40:27

Yeah, I get it. Like they, you know, they're, they have celebrity status. They made that decision to be public. So like Totally. You don't, it's hard. You don't get to pick and choose. Yeah. You can be private, but usually celebrities that are more private mm-hmm. Aren't as doing world tours. Yeah. Tour.

Kristine 40:47

It's tour. Tour. The tour gets me every fucking time. Uh uh. Yeah. Anyway, um, so that's. Those were four questions that I wrote down. Mm-hmm. We have lots, but I know we wanted to, uh, to make sure we actually do our fuck Mary Kay and stuff today. So yeah, we'll probably shut down the questions, but please keep sending them in. Even if we don't post a question box, just send us a dmm. Um, we do like to touch on those ones as well, so there's that. Mm-hmm. Anything else we wanna shoot the shit about? I was just

Carrie 41:22

seeing if there's any, um, There was quite a few questions. Hey. Yep. Oh, how did I, someone asked how I did with my August Apple watch. Cool. Oh, nice. I didn't, I didn't close it. Oh, no, no. Half the month, what was it? Oh, that half month I had to do like 680 fitness ca, like move calories or something, and I just did not get that

Kristine 41:40

far. Yeah, fair enough. That's I have to, yeah. Well, and that's one I wanted to send in a letter.

Carrie 41:46

Yeah, like I did I think 11 days and I probably could have done the last three, but I just, again, I, it's like you were talking about like your whoop, like you get obsessed with it. I didn't wanna be at this point where I was like, yeah, killing myself to get some fictional award on my

Kristine 42:03

phone. Oh my God. That was one of the things we talked about last night. I was like, oh yeah, we should, we were gonna give the lawn guy, you are gonna start a lawn

Carrie 42:10

association, a

Kristine 42:11

lawn. So we can go give the guy an award, but then I, we were gonna craft them. Yeah. But then I was like, wait, why the fuck do we need an association? Why can't we just go give this guy an award? I don't know why it need to be more official, but, um, he does deserve an award. He

Carrie 42:26

does an association award?

Kristine 42:28

Yeah. Oh, best. Yeah. Okay. Okay. What

Carrie 42:33

But I think he's probably gonna die. Think he might die. You gonna kill him, Kate? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Kate? Yeah. Steal. And Caleb. He's really sweet. I would fuck Caleb. Steel. Mm. But I really liked Caleb. I really connected him. Do

Fuck Mary. Kill. This is the people who aren't my dad, but look like Gus edition. Oh

Carrie 44:39

my God, that's fucking amazing. Let's go.

Kristine 44:42

Thank you. First off, we got Bruce Billis. Mm-hmm. Mr. Clean, Kevin Richardson.

Carrie 44:53

Kevin Richardson looks so much like your dad. It freaks me out. Do you remember the first time I saw it? I think we were, where were we at the concert? We were at the concert and I'm like, okay,

Kristine 45:01

this is what happened. So I, we looked at each other right at the. Same moment. And I said, holy fuck, Kevin's looking good, or Kevin's looking fucking hot. And she looks at me, she's like, Kevin, looks like your dad. And I was like, no, but you see it Now I see it. So now all of my thoughts that he was starting to look good, went right, had to down the drain, had to away, went down the drain. Oh, this is tough. So people who aren't my dad, but look like Guss edition. Okay. And like are we, God forbid he ever listens to this.

Carrie 45:31

Are we talking like Bruce Willis, like die hard, Bruce Willis? Or like, are we talking like friends Bruce Willis? Like what? Bruce Willis are we speaking of? Um,

Kristine 45:43

I would probably say like die hard. I think he looks closer to my dad. Okay. Die hard. Young, young

Carrie 45:49

Gus. Yeah. Okay. Well, I'm fucking Bruce Willis, like die hard. Bruce Willis. Absolutely. I am marrying Mr. Clean. He is gonna clean like he Mr. Fucking clean. Yeah. That's genius. Yeah. Yeah. And then I'm, I'm sorry, Kevin, I just, he looks too much like a white snoop dog. I just, it's a lot for me. You guys

Kristine 46:22

like, it's

Carrie 46:23

a lot. He even walks like Snoop Dogg. He. Snoop Dogg. He does. Oh. Like when I see people comparing him to Snoop Dogg, I'm, I die. Yeah. Every single time. And like at, if you've ever been to a Backstreet Boys concert, oh my God. Like the

Kristine 46:41

most recent

Carrie 46:42

one, he, he like, he even dresses like Snoop Dogg. Yeah.

Kristine 46:47

He really does. He looks like Snoop Dogg.

Carrie 46:50

He does. It's like he wants to be Snoop Dogg and I can't.

Kristine 46:53

Could you imagine if he said Snoop Doggy Dogg during like a concert

46:56

or

Carrie 46:56

something? No. I feel like I would just keel over. I'm just dead, so I, he looks like Fabio here. He just look like Fabio, I'm saving this, I'm sharing it in this story. Oh my God. Just so much. So that's, that's locked in. I'm marrying Mr. Clean because he's clean. Yeah, he is very cute. He looks strong too. I'm, I'm still crying. Yeah, that's perfect. I love that. I love that you're crying. That was so funny. I just, Mr. Clean, like, I really like his, his body type. Yeah. He's fucking jacked. Yeah. Like I like that, like him to carry me around the house, but he kind

Kristine 47:30

of looks like my dad.

Carrie 47:32

Yeah. Well we just separate that because I call your dad, dad, so it's a little weird.

Kristine 47:41

But I like that I spun it, that it wasn't him. No. People who are my dad, but look like us. Yeah.

Carrie 47:47

And like Bruce Willis, die hard.

Kristine 47:52

We apologize that we missed it. I like how I brought that up earlier. Completely random, but I was like, this is all my brain and I feel like we need to apologize.

Carrie 48:09
