Kylie's Random Thoughts & Gina's Rapid-Fire Answers

Your brain ever fire off a question so random you almost embarrass yourself in your own head? We get it. We’re kicking off season four of Anxiety Ridden Moms Club by letting the anxious mom inner monologue take the mic and turning it into a rapid-fire, laugh-out-loud reality check. The vibe is messy, honest, and weirdly comforting, because sometimes the fastest way back to yourself is admitting what’s actually going on upstairs. 

We bounce from the silly to the serious in the exact way anxiety does: Do flies go to heaven? What’s your biggest ick? If your life had a smell, what would it be? Then we veer into modern overstimulation, like what an FBI agent would think of your search history, why ChatGPT feels like a best friend, and how hard it can be to find real adult friendship when you barely leave the house. If you’re an overstimulated mom carrying the mental load, you’ll recognize yourself in every turn. 

And because anxiety doesn’t stop at jokes, we also talk about mortality fears, a terrifying emergency landing memory, and why “fast and painless” is basically the only acceptable answer. We end with would you rather games, relatable parenting irritations, laundry-as-adulting confessionals, and a story about accidentally inviting Meta AI on a date night. If you need a break from perfection and a dose of real mom mental health talk, press play, then subscribe, share with a mom friend, and leave a review so more anxious moms can find us.

Season Four Kickoff And Why We’re Here

SPEAKER_01 0:01

You're listening to the Anxiety Ridden Moms Club, the podcast for moms who love their kids deeply and still feel anxious, exhausted, and overstimulated.

SPEAKER_02 0:10

Here, we talk about the messy stuff, the thoughts we don't say out loud, the pressure to do it all, and the journey back to ourselves. Progress over perfection always. Let's go. Welcome back to the Anxiety Ridden Moms Club. And what you didn't know, because we didn't know until today, is this is our first episode of season four. Can you believe it? Exciting. Yes, we're two to the day, two weeks away from our one-year anniversary.

SPEAKER_01 0:51

One year. Gone by quick. I don't know. Sometimes it feels like it went by.

SPEAKER_02 0:57

Feels like it's been an eternity.

unknown 1:00

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 1:01

But this episode, we talked about it last week, how we were going to have some

Do Flies Go To Heaven

SPEAKER_02 1:05

fun. And as an anxious mom, like many of us are, and um, every single day when we're just going through the motions of the day, you know, our minds go a million miles a minute. And so I thought it would be fun to start documenting some of the questions that go through my mind.

SPEAKER_01 1:27

From an anxiety-ridden person.

SPEAKER_02 1:29

Of an anxiety of an anxious person. Gina was not prepped for this episode. No.

SPEAKER_01 1:35

And I'm just gonna fire, yeah, I'm just gonna fire away at some random ass questions. And the only thing that was nice is I didn't have to prep for anything.

unknown 1:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:44

It was honestly just me documenting my thoughts. So, like today, I was on a call and this fucking fly kept zooming around my head, and I thought, uh, you know what I thought?

SPEAKER_01 2:01

Do flies go to heaven? No, because I don't even know their purpose. There's a purpose to a fly. I don't even know a purpose to a fly. I don't like flies. I will kill them at all costs.

SPEAKER_02 2:13

So I whacked this fly, and then I thought it was like having a seizure on the desk, and then I felt bad. And then I was like, I wonder if flies go to heaven.

SPEAKER_00 2:21

No.

SPEAKER_02 2:21

Hmm.

SPEAKER_00 2:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 2:23

So then I wondered, do snakes go to heaven? Nope, they don't either. Snakes go don't go to heaven. No. They do not go to heaven. They're just no, they don't. I'm sure somebody would tell me there's some great or grand purpose why we have them here, and that's wonderful. But the reality of it is I don't like them. I don't want them near me, and they go to hell faster than most.

SPEAKER_02 2:46

My cousin had a pet corn snake and it got lost in their home. She might big to differ. I wonder if she told her kids, don't worry, you'll see it again in heaven.

SPEAKER_01 2:57

I really hope there aren't snakes in heaven. I hope there's not either. I don't want to see them and I don't want to see flies. And I don't want to see mosquitoes. Mosquitoes can't go to heaven. I don't want to see wasps. I don't want to see a bee unless they take the stingers out.

SPEAKER_02 3:15

Only bees without stingers are allowed in heaven. Because they are pretty. I'll give them that. Next question. Okay. What is your biggest ick?

SPEAKER_01 3:26

Feet. Really? Because the thought of feet just grosses me out. Yeah, it's feet. Don't like them. Don't want to look at them. Don't want to smell them. Don't want to touch him. Would you lick a foot? No. Very comes up. A lot of money. Yes. And I still don't want that dude's feet. And he has. My husband has nice feet for a man. And I still don't want his feet anywhere near me. You'd never lick a foot.

SPEAKER_02 3:57

No. No. I got a pedicure. I got a pedicure. So we were talking about it. And I'll ask my boyfriend. I was like, would you lick my feet? Just for reaction. I didn't really want my feet licked. Yeah. I was like, absolutely not. And I was like I was, I was, it kind of hurt my feelings. I'm not gonna lie.

SPEAKER_01 4:18

I don't need anybody to lick my foot, so why would it hurt your feelings? Like I I could go get my feet clean, shine up, and say, nobody needs to lick. I don't want you touching my feet as much as I don't want to touch yours.

SPEAKER_02 4:27

I want him to want every part of me. Well no. So I asked my kid, I'm like, okay, let's say you are, you know, dating your future husband, you love him, you love everything about him. And he was like, All right, would you suck on my toes? She was like, Oh yeah. Brad was so fucking appalled. He was like, That is so gross.

SPEAKER_00 4:51

That's disgusting.

SPEAKER_02 4:52

I mean, but I did, I did have a small stint that Kiki Sweetfeet was on Feet Finder. Oh God.

SPEAKER_01 5:02

Did it take off?

unknown 5:05

No.

SPEAKER_00 5:08

It could have.

SPEAKER_02 5:11

It could have. Oh man, no. Next

If Your Life Had A Smell

SPEAKER_02 5:15

question. Okay. I was wondering if my life had a smell.

SPEAKER_01 5:20

What would it smell like? Your life or my life?

SPEAKER_02 5:24

Well, the first part of the question. The first part of the question is if your life had a smell, what would it smell like?

SPEAKER_01 5:31

If my life had a smell, it would smell like warmth. It would smell like pies baking in ovens, vanilla, brown sugar, just something that makes you want to curl up on a couch and relax and just keep smelling that scent. You know, I love fall. All the scents you get in fall. It's so nice. Now, if we were going to your scent, I was gonna say, what do you think my life smells like? I think your life would smell like pine trees. I think it would smell like I do have a lot of pine trees. I think it would smell like um winter frost. You know that crisp. I I get more of a winter with lots of wind.

unknown 6:21

What the fuck?

SPEAKER_02 6:23

I think it would smell like mahogany teakwood from Bath and Body Works. It does smell like manly and fresh. It'd smell like pine trees and crisp air. There are a lot of worse things it could smell like. So I'm not gonna be offended by that answer. Okay. What causes a sty in your eye?

SPEAKER_01 6:48

Um, fake eyelashes is a big thing that can cause it. Little nasty.

SPEAKER_02 6:54

I thought it was from peeing in the middle of the road or someone farting on your pillow.

SPEAKER_01 7:03

Do you read much? No. For real. Ask ChatGPT, I did. No. It's usually though from a lot of times it's from people in their eyelashes and fake eyelashes or mascara that they haven't cleaned off all enough, but it's usually goopy stuff clogging up stuff. Clogging up the pores in the good old eyeball area. What did Chat GPT tell you?

SPEAKER_02 7:29

I don't know. I think I asked a very specific question. Like, does farting on someone's pillow cause a sty in your eye? It wasn't a journal.

SPEAKER_01 7:37

Are you an idiot? You might be an idiot.

SPEAKER_02 7:42

I mean, yeah. If we lived in a on a Disney channel and my chat GPT could come to life, like it would be my best friend. Because I'm taking applications for best friend around Jerseyville, just an FYI if anyone wants to be my best friend. Um I'm so jealous of um Applesauce and ADHD online, her and Emily. Emily is chaos. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because they just found each other at a park and like their kids are great friends. Great friends. They only live like 20 minutes apart. Their kids are around the same age. They have so much in common. And like one moved and they help each other and they help each other get like I need a best friend. So if you would like to apply to be my best friend, um, please, please let me know. I don't go out late. This is solely during the day.

SPEAKER_01 8:37

You have strict hours of friendship.

SPEAKER_02 8:39

Strict friendship. Yeah. So I need a best friend. Anyway, moving on. We've got a lot of questions here. Okay.

Search History Anxiety And AI

SPEAKER_02 8:53

What would, speaking of Chat GBT, what would an FBI agent find most concerning about your search history?

SPEAKER_00 9:03

An FBI agent.

SPEAKER_01 9:06

I don't think anything's concerning. I mean, I just talked about normal, probably about how like I don't know how to do anything on my own.

SPEAKER_02 9:18

The FBI agent might just think I'm a this bitch made it a long time all by herself. And we are not sure. And we are not sure how.

SPEAKER_01 9:31

Yeah, because I think I have to ask him everything I do anymore. It's just, it's kind of it's kind of sad. And the more that I talk to him, the more realies becomes.

SPEAKER_02 9:42

It's not good. Have you ever asked Chat GPT to talk dirty to you?

SPEAKER_01 9:50

No, but I think where he's wanting to is the problem.

SPEAKER_02 9:55

No, but I think he'd like to.

SPEAKER_00 9:59

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_01 10:04

Okay, next. What would be Oh god. This was a rapid fire and she's got it like blaugh first. Okay, go on.

SPEAKER_02 10:16

What would be your preferred method, the pr your preferred way to die, and in your sleep is not an option? Oh my lord. Uh then I just want to have uh uh No. I'm talking like, do you want to drown? No. Do you want to die in a fire? No. Do you want to die in a car accident?

SPEAKER_01 10:34

A tornado. Like, how do you want to die? In anything that's super fast, and I don't even probably know what happened. That's all I care about. So if it's a car accident, it needs to be an absolute head-on dun. If I'm gonna be if it's gonna be a fire, it needs to be an explosion. Boom, she's gone. Fire would be the absolute fucking worst. No, wait, it's gonna be gone. I just said, boom, you're done. Not I'm gonna burn slowly. No, I heard that's one of the most painful things that could happen to you. Um, and whatever it is, it has to be instantaneous. Like I want it to be that when you tell my family this night, she felt and knew nothing. You know, like that's how why you would say sleep, because you're like, I wanna go to sleep one night, never wake up. And you hope it's just a peaceful situation. But if it can't be peaceful and it's gonna go out with a boom, it needs to be something fast, fast and furious, baby.

SPEAKER_02 11:33

Dying in a plane crash or a fire would be fucking traumatic, in my opinion. Like we were on a plane one time and we had to make an emergency landing. Oxygen masks came down, they told the people to take glasses off and prepare for landing. Oh Lord. Like, and like no, my mom sent that final text to my dad like, tell my grandbabies I love them. Like it was in fucking tense. No. And it was awful. Like, can you imagine? Like, I remember looking out the window. I don't want to know what's happening. Yeah, like giving any sort of heads up, like you're going to crash. And like, how many people do you know walk away from a plane crash? Fucking zero.

unknown 12:18

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 12:20

Zero. And like to know it's coming would be yeah, so good.

SPEAKER_01 12:24

So okay. The other thing I have to tell you, so we were we've been watching have you seen um it's called Sugar? It's a show. Okay, I think it's on, I don't know if it's on Netflix or Apple. I can't remember. Um, we had started watching it. I really enjoy it. Um, so anyways, but there's a lot of like we've been tortured and stuff, like people torturing stuff. And my husband even talked about it, and he's like, Yeah, I I couldn't be tortured. Like it just can't happen.

SPEAKER_00 12:49

It's like I get announcing it. I couldn't handle it.

SPEAKER_01 12:54

But I definitely, definitely know no matter what, I do not want to be tortured. Whatever, don't like they would be like there was a um another show that we were watching too, and some and they were torturing people on that one too. I don't know why. They're all good shows, and all of a sudden they just want to torture somebody and throw it in to make the show, I guess, exciting. I don't I don't really know. But it's like they would be like, we're gonna cut one toe off at a time and then send it to people, and then you get another toe taken off, and then they'd beat you up one day. I'm like, no. No, I can't be tort- it mine has to be fast and furious. Done. I hope that really, I just hope I get to live a very long life and then it just ends. But if I don't get it, if whatever happens, I hope it's just done. No slow process. Although I will say, I used to always tell my husband, I'm willing to have a lot of people. Unfortunately, my family have died in hospice and things like that, which is so sad. But I've always said I would be willing to do that for my children if that's what they needed for closure, but I hope it's not, and they just go, whoa, and it's over. Yeah, it's done. Is that the answer you were looking for? I just wanted to know.

SPEAKER_02 14:04

I don't know how I would want to die. Fire is out, plane crash is out for me. I don't think there's any desirable way to do it. I feel like I would pass you would pass out first. Drowning probably wouldn't be so bad. Blunt force trauma of some sort. But like I, yeah, I don't know. I don't want to be shot because I'd be the one like hanging on. No, me too. That's what I worry about. It's gotta be something that's boom instant.

Hypothetical Drugs And Real Boundaries

SPEAKER_02 14:25

If we were gonna go out and do hard drugs, which hard drug would you be willing to try?

SPEAKER_01 14:30

Hey, well, I don't do drugs. Don't want to do drugs. Oh, I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 14:36

You know what I mean? If you were in a complete controlled environment and nothing bad was gonna happen to you, what hard drug would you try?

SPEAKER_01 14:43

I still can tell you I wouldn't try any, but if we were gonna have this make-believe, you wouldn't try any. Oh, I swear to God, I really have no idea. Oh my god, what I would do is too scared. I think I'm too scared of like, you know, you hear too much of those say they tried it once, and then that was all it took, and now they want to be on it all the time. I I just don't want to. But I will tell you that a lot of there's several, quite a few people I've ever I've known throughout my life, and they all would tell me they loved coke. Low cocaine.

SPEAKER_02 15:13

I know someone who tried it one time. I'm not gonna call anybody out by name or anything, but somebody that tried it one time. And liked it. Fucking hated it.

SPEAKER_01 15:23

This friend See, that's why I wouldn't be able to do any of it. Because I'm like, it would be something that everybody else would love, and then I would absolutely be the most miserable person.

SPEAKER_02 15:32

This friend was so fucking angry, and she just wanted to sleep and be by herself and not talk to anyone.

SPEAKER_01 15:39

See, that's why I wouldn't do any of them. That would be my luck. Be ruined anyway.

SPEAKER_02 15:45

I also, this friend thought it was cool to do hookah and then ended up closing this whole big pool in Jamaica because the hookah made her throw up in the pool. This friend was crazy. It was crazy. I did not like hookah either. But oh my gosh, my back itches so bad. All of a sudden, I think it's because I'm talking about drugs.

SPEAKER_01 16:06

It's because you're talking about drugs, and then somebody's trying to tell you you're not supposed to do drugs. So quit talking, quit trying to do pure pressure on you were trying pure pressure on me that you tell me that I should be in a controlled environment. And what would I drive? That's pure pressure.

SPEAKER_02 16:19

This is rapid-fire questions. This was just a question. It was just a hypothetically speaking.

SPEAKER_01 16:24

And I just told you, and then you meant like some answer, and then you said, come on, in a controlled environment. That's so peer pressure.

SPEAKER_02 16:31

I never in a million years expected you to be like none. I wouldn't do drugs. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 16:37

I wouldn't. I'm doing it, would be a bad experience. I just have this feeling I would have a miserable experience. I'm definitely not putting something. I'm definitely not doing a needle.

SPEAKER_02 16:45

I would try and I would love to try. I wouldn't do a needle. I'm not gonna fucking say heroin. What hard drug would you? Heroin. Give me some meth. I would like, no, I want Molly. Give me some Molly. I'd be like humping everything.

SPEAKER_00 17:05

Oh God.

SPEAKER_02 17:07

I would like some Molly and a rave.

SPEAKER_00 17:10

Oh no.

SPEAKER_02 17:10

But I'm a mom and I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't. I wouldn't know where to get it. Okay. All right, next. I wouldn't even know where to drive.

SPEAKER_01 17:20

Next.

SPEAKER_02 17:23

What's your favorite hard alcohol? vodka. Oh god, I love some Tito's. It's been so long. Tito's, I miss you.

SPEAKER_00 17:36

Next. Have you ever had Poppy?

SPEAKER_01 17:40

No.

SPEAKER_02 17:42

I need to talk to someone that has tried poppy to tell me if it's worth buying. Because I want to try some poppy.

SPEAKER_01 17:50

Why?

SPEAKER_02 17:52

What have you heard about poppy? Just like it's a good alternative for soda.

SPEAKER_01 17:57

But let me tell you, I don't think it's a good idea. All the alternatives to sodas that I've ever had, I don't like. So that's why I've never tried poppy because none of them taste good. And everyone has to tell you it's a good alternative to soda. But it tastes absolutely nothing like soda. So it doesn't really actually it's not enjoyable. It's okay. I fucking hate it. Hate it. It's okay. I don't like carbonated water. I don't really like anything carbonated either. I never coke. I think when anything, you know, like all the different ones they were making, all those seltzer drinks that they were making, and everybody's always been, oh, so excited about them. I think they taste good, but that fizz makes me feel sick to my stomach, and so I have zero desire to drink them. So I don't like a fizz. So I'm not gonna, I'm certainly not buying something like poppy that doesn't it has a fizz but doesn't really taste like soda, and somebody's telling me I'm supposed to believe it tastes like soda. No, it does not.

SPEAKER_02 18:50

No. I agree. No, I agree.

Kisses, Fears, And Quiet Judgments

SPEAKER_02 18:54

You have five words, and what are five words that you would use to describe the last kiss your man gave you?

SPEAKER_01 19:08

The last word.

SPEAKER_02 19:09

I was asleep. That's fine.

SPEAKER_01 19:17

I was still sleeping. Five words to describe it. Gina's a freak. It was well, here's the thing. It was for me just simply heading out for the day. So it was it was hard. It was hard? The fuck? Oh, okay. It was one of those before you leave. So it was just uh it was hard. It was slightly moist. Slightly moist. I'm writing these down. Um it was, let's see. Let's see, hold on. I need two more words.

SPEAKER_02 20:15

You said hard and moist.

SPEAKER_01 20:16

I said five words. I said slightly moist. I didn't say so can't you said as two words. That's not totally just moist. Um hard slightly moist.

SPEAKER_00 20:30

Um it was um loving. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 20:40

And it was um non-arousing.

SPEAKER_02 20:51

Okay. Do you ever wonder how many people are walking around just pretending they know what they're doing?

SPEAKER_01 20:57

I'd say the majority of them, because I do a lot of people watching, and most of them seem like they're like aimlessly looking around.

SPEAKER_02 21:05

Or like on their phone pretending like they're doing something and really they just they don't know. Yes, ignoring everybody around them.

SPEAKER_01 21:13

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 21:14

What is a completely irrational fear you have that makes that you know makes zero sense?

SPEAKER_00 21:21

No rational fear.

SPEAKER_01 21:26

Um yours is like being attacked in the middle of the night, isn't it? Yeah, I'm always I always think somebody's gonna come in my room and grab my foot because I hate feet. So that's where they're gonna grab. And they're gonna like pull on my foot and then they're just gonna attack me. Yes, I have a serious fear about that. That's why I cannot I can't I don't like sleeping with my feet outside the covers. So even if I get hot sometimes, I don't want to put my foot out because I'm too scared. Somebody's gonna girl.

SPEAKER_02 21:58

What is something that you're Convinced you're good at that everyone else would disagree with. So something that you think you're good at, but everyone else would disagree. Hopefully that answer is not podcasting. It could be. That we think we're way better than we are.

SPEAKER_01 22:16

That was my thought. I don't know if people would say I'm not, that they disagree with me. That's a really hard one because I don't know. I'm a really good cook and everybody agrees. I um I don't know. That's a really hard one.

SPEAKER_02 22:42

What is one thing you judge people for even though you know you shouldn't? Say it. It's on the tip of your tongue. Just say it.

SPEAKER_01 22:55

What do I judge people for that I shouldn't? That's another hard one. I think I always have thoughts going through my head, so I don't know if I for sure have one specific thing. Um I definitely do a lot of judging if I think somebody's a good person or not. Probably there's different things where I think a lot of questionable people in this world and the things that they're doing. And it's not that I'm a prude. That's not my problem. Not a prude. I don't think that you need to be perfect. I just think there's not a lot of I don't know. I think people can can act like they're a really good person, and the next thing you know, they'll say something stupid. I'll be like, Yeah, you're not so great. You've You're not such a good person. So you're not gonna have a one bad moment. I can. If I don't know you really well, now if I know you really well, we've known each other then I know you're good, bad, and you're ugly, and it's whatever. I've gotten through past all that. But in the beginning, especially now, see, this is why it's a good thing I don't, I'm not out there having a date, because I would be the worst. Because I'll be like, what did you say last sentence? Well, never mind, I'm not interested. And over. Date over. And and I think it's because I know that like I even just had a conversation with my husband about this recently, and I told him, I said, you know what my problem is, is that like I have what I would do or how I would act, or what you know what I mean, like your own personal opinions and ideas, right? Of like how you should be. So I try to be like that. Not to say I'm perfect in any way, but like just I try to be a good person. And I try to do normal things and I try to be considerate, like of somebody else, especially like in a in a relationship. And so if I don't get that back, I could immediately just be like, Yeah, you're not for me. It's a friendship, that's a if it was a relationship, it wouldn't take much to make me be like to maybe write off the desk.

SPEAKER_02 24:58

Kind of like from shrinking, isn't it? That's probably why I'm not one of those people who's ever.

SPEAKER_01 25:03

No, it's boop. Yes, it's boop. You just boop people too fast. Yes, but I think them. Because I think of a you standing, a little person standing at my desk, and I go, God.

SPEAKER_02 25:18

What is something that your kids or grandkids do that sends you into an irrational, irrational rage?

SPEAKER_01 25:27

I can't stand when they're not listening. I can't stand when they're not listening, or like, or even if they start talking and there's a whole group, they're like, even if you have the whole family together and you're all talking, and the next thing you know, you just hear noise. Just nobody's really listening to each other, they're just talking. So that's for the adults, right? Because of the the adult children. And so ultimately you feel like there's no point to speak because they're already all speaking, which means nobody's listening, which means I don't really know what the heck I'm doing. So I might as well go in the other room and for the younger children in my life, it's the same thing. I'm all about having fun. I mean, I'll scream, yell, we can run down hallways and act as crazy and be. But when I tell you we're done, you need to listen, or don't touch that because you're gonna break it. We are done. I when we are done. So listening, people are not listening and paying attention to the fact that you're not the only one in the room. That would be probably my my thing.

SPEAKER_02 26:21

Mine is my children are on their phones so much and on the phone with their friends, on the that they don't flush the motherfucking toilet.

SPEAKER_01 26:34

Oh yeah, I can't know that.

SPEAKER_02 26:36

Because they don't want to hear, they don't want the other person like mute the fucking phone if that's what you need. But it sends me a little bit. Well, here's the thing.

SPEAKER_01 26:43

If you're gonna go into a bathroom with somebody that's on the phone with you, don't do that unless it's somebody you could say, I'm going to the bathroom.

unknown 26:51

Right.

SPEAKER_01 26:51

Like, hello, Kylie. I'm going to the bathroom. So if you hear any noises, deal with it. I wouldn't say that. I wouldn't call it out like that. But I would mute it. I would.

SPEAKER_02 27:01

I'd either mute it. Well, see, I wouldn't go take you to the bathroom if I'm not willing to take you to the bathroom. Well, because my own job my old job, I couldn't go to the bathroom and like there was never a moment.

SPEAKER_01 27:09

Okay, wait, that's work. That's a totally different. I'm not taking my boss to the bathroom. Okay, like that's not that thing. I'm you're talking about your kids are on the phone socially. So I do have some friends and I don't could care less. I mean, if I gotta if I gotta go and you wanna keep chatting, like I gotta go to the bathroom. Because I'm gonna tell you I'm going to the bathroom. I might be polite to mute you just for the moment. I flush really quick and then speed out of the bathroom really quick. So you don't necessarily hear it, but I don't know. Tell them that they shouldn't take somebody to the bathroom they're not willing to flush in front of. There you go. Okay, let's see.

SPEAKER_00 27:49

What hill? What's a hill you would die on that other people might think is ridiculous?

SPEAKER_01 28:04

No. What hill would I die on? So many people even say stuff like that, and I just think it's stupid. I could die on this hill. There's such and such. Okay, what would you? What hill would you die on? I don't know. I'm a pretty simple basic person, you know.

SPEAKER_02 28:25

That's where the question came from, because I didn't know what hill I would die on. And it was on a show I was watching. It's like I would die on that hill.

SPEAKER_01 28:33

I don't know if I would. I don't know what hill I would die on. I don't know. Die on the hill. I don't know. The only thing I would ever put die for or on or anything would have to do more about you know dying for your family, protecting your family. Nothing to do with like I'm gonna die on the hill because I believe in da da da da da da. I'm not that person. That's just not me. I'll just get along and be happy. Let's not die in any hills.

SPEAKER_02 29:05

Anyway.

First Jobs And The Chaos They Teach

SPEAKER_02 29:07

What was your four first? What was your first job and what did it teach you?

SPEAKER_01 29:15

Okay, so I guess it depends on how you look at as to what a job is. So the first thing was my mom lined me up to babysit every colicky baby you could imagine existed when I was 12 years old. That was my first job. I think that prepared me for the fact that my son, my firstborn, was horribly colicky. It taught me how to kind of deal with that because it was not easy to deal with when you're 12 and 13 years old babysitting, colicky screening infants. And so I guess it helped prepare me for later. But my real like employment punch-in, punch out was at a gas station. And it taught me about all sorts of different people. Um, every kind comes into a gas station. We had it was an interesting, it was an interesting job. It was a it was probably one of my favorite jobs because it was just fun. And the one thing I did learn, I will tell you this that I did learn. More men lock their keys in the car than a woman does. Really?

unknown 30:20

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 30:21

I made fun of them all the time if they came into our gas station and had to call get on the payphone. Because I was a kind of a little bit of a I would always lean forward and say, Are you calling for somebody? Is there something wrong? And then I would always say, Well, I locked my keys in my car. And I'd say, What? Isn't that what women do? You locked your keys in the car as a man all the time. I'll never forget.

SPEAKER_02 30:43

I I had just turned 16 and I was at the car wash washing my car and like probably couldn't afford to drive through, which back when I was 16, I could probably afford to drive through where I can't now. Yeah. But um, I got out to like wash wash my car and locked my keys in and had to call my grandpa because he was like a magician and could get in with a door hanger and whatever else. I also I am I am known for locking my keys in my car. That's why I'm so grateful that I have a garage because I just don't lock it now. I park in the garage and I just don't lock it. But I also like my so Wyatt was in the NICU. Got out of the NICU, and one day my mom was busy and I was like, I can do it. I'm gonna go shopping. And I was on Lindbergh and locked my child in the car and lights, sirens the whole nine yards. The whole fire department came to get him out of the car.

SPEAKER_01 31:35

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_02 31:36

I locked my keys in my car a lot.

SPEAKER_01 31:38

Okay, well, you are one of the women that did, I'll be honest with you, the majority of the women that came in that locked their keys in their car, they typically were like they were getting gas in there, pumping their gas, and the freaking dog jumped up on the button on the door and would lock their door. Um, it was like, and that I swear to God, I'm not kidding you. I worked there for a few years, and I think there was maybe two women that ever locked their keys in the car, and all the rest were men. It was funny. So it did teach me. All of you men in the world do not, you're not the responsible ones. You tend to lock these in your car and do stupid stuff all the time. So it was entertaining. It was I had a lot of fun. I loved watching these people and talking to them, and of course, making fun of them. That's what taught me.

unknown 32:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 32:27

Fair, fair. I'm I'm one of those people, so you would have just been making fun of me. I would have made fun of you.

SPEAKER_01 32:32

I'd be like, if you decided to come into this gas station. This is where we roast people. This is where it would make you feel like a complete asshole. And I, you know what? No boss ever got me in trouble for doing that either.

SPEAKER_02 32:47

There you go. There you go. What is a completely this is probably my last question. So then you're off the hook. But I've got some would you rather's, which are gonna be pretty fun. Okay. Um, what's a completely normal adult task you still feel like you're faking your way through?

SPEAKER_01 33:08

Perfectly normal adult task. Normal task. Let me fake my way through. Um okay, so laundry, finishing up the laundry. I am very good about regularly doing the laundry. I'm very good about folding my laundry and sticking it back in that basket. That is as good. And that's where it dies. And so my husband then can bring it to the closet and he can throw it in a pile for me. And I will shove it close to where it's supposed to hang or sit. So you personally would never know that I'm not great at laundry, because if you witness everything, you would see me have perfectly beautifully folded clothes. If I'm working in the laundry room, everything looks great. It kind of dies in my by the time it hits my closet. And I don't think it's laundry.

SPEAKER_02 34:10

I have piles of dirty, piles of clean. I hate folding it. I am a rat.

SPEAKER_01 34:15

See, and I don't mind, I don't mind folding it. I hate hanging it up. And I hate putting it away. Absolutely hate it. That's why he takes it to my closet. Otherwise, it would die in my laundry room. Folded nicely. It would just stay in there until you need to wear it.

SPEAKER_02 34:32

Until I need to wear it. Yes. I do. I had some getting to know Gina questions, but we're gonna save those for the next time we go live.

SPEAKER_01 34:40

Um so and we're gonna go live, and hopefully this time it's it's a great thing. It works. We've tried it before.

SPEAKER_02 34:53

Okay, so we're gonna wrap this up by four. Yeah, I don't even want to talk about going live because it's annoying me that I like we couldn't figure it out and the fuck ever. But I think I can do it now, and I think I can do it on my computer. It just might be on my personal I don't, I don't know. I don't know. My personal account and the ARMC are attached to each other, and so I don't know how to figure it out on my computer anyway. These people don't care about all of that. So okay, we're gonna wrap it up by my four would you rather questions.

SPEAKER_00 35:23

Okay. Hurry up. Let's make it go quick. Fire. Okay. I lost them.

SPEAKER_02 35:36

Can't do anything fast. Oh my god. Okay. Such a mess. Okay.

Would You Rather Games And Wrap-Up

SPEAKER_02 35:42

Okay. Would you rather always have a rock in your shoe or always feel like you have to sneeze?

SPEAKER_01 35:50

I would rather have a rock in my shoe.

SPEAKER_02 35:54

Would you rather have to narrate everything you do out loud or have your thoughts appear in subtitles over your head? Oh no, oh my god, that would be so bad.

SPEAKER_01 36:03

I don't want subtitles. It's not a good idea. I got a lot of thoughts up in here, and they should all need to be subtitled.

SPEAKER_02 36:11

So then we just have to narrate. There is the laundry. The laundry that I'm not doing. Here I am at like that, you know. I could do that, but I don't want subtitles.

SPEAKER_01 36:21

I could go that could turn ugly quick.

SPEAKER_02 36:23

I know this. I know your answer to this next one. But for our listeners, I want them to tell us. Would you rather give up coffee or social media forever?

SPEAKER_01 36:33

Social media. Social media forever.

SPEAKER_02 36:35

1000%. Yes. Would you rather your husband read your texts or your Google search history? Or I'd rather or what? Would you rather on the podcast read your texts with your husband or your Google search history? Like for the world. Which would I like to do? Would you rather read you and your husband's texts or your Google search history on this podcast?

SPEAKER_01 37:12

I would rather have the Google search. I don't know. I bet they both probably are. You and your husband's texts are good. I bet they're real good. I don't think we need to share the our text. Not sharing the text thread. No. Not sharing the text thread. No. That's private.

SPEAKER_02 37:35

There you go. And those were my week week of questions. Did you love it or did you hate it? Do you think our lover our lovers, do you think our listeners will love it or hate it?

SPEAKER_01 37:48

I think they should love it. Because we just got to spend a little time and get to know each other that much better. I know.

SPEAKER_02 37:57

I'm ready to have I'm ready to have guests. I'm ready to have a bottle of wine handy. I'm ready to do all of the things. And again, I'm in that I'm in search for that best friend. So look me up. Find me. There should be maybe maybe. Maybe we should come up with a dating app for friends. A dating app? Well, not a dating app, but like a friends app. Who wants to be my friend in a 30-mile radius? You know. I bet it's out there. If I've thought of it, someone else already has. It's probably ours could be cooler.

SPEAKER_01 38:40

Because we want it could be way cooler. It could be way cooler. You know what you should be? A six-minute friendship like moment. You know how they have like six-minute dating? You know, you go around this little room, six speed speed dating. Yeah. I mean, I never got to do that. If I was single, I would totally do it just for the all the laughs that I would have had.

SPEAKER_02 39:02

No, no, no. I want to know that we're compatible before I have to get dressed.

SPEAKER_01 39:06

No, but I just think that the if I was single, I think Amy that doesn't do that six-minute dating is missing out on a hell of a fun night. I just think it'll be hilarious. There'd be so many things to talk about after that. But they should have it for friends. It doesn't even have to be like in person. I mean, maybe it's like a social media, whatever, but like, don't be kind of cool. Look, I'm giving somebody an idea, and it'll be somebody else that'll like create this or something, but it should be to find friends, not dating anybody. It should be for friends. Terrible fucking friends.

SPEAKER_02 39:34

Can I just say, because as I'm sitting here, I was just thinking, oh my God, I made plans to go out tonight. You did. And you're sitting here talking to me.

SPEAKER_01 39:46

What an idiot.

SPEAKER_02 39:47

I am a fucking terrible friend. See, this is what happens. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_01 39:53

This is why that nobody's gonna bother to write in to say they want to be your new best friend because they just because I'm a fucking loser.

SPEAKER_02 39:59

I know. And like you text me, and it takes me three fucking days to text you back. I am such a bad friend.

SPEAKER_01 40:04

You're not a good friend.

SPEAKER_02 40:05

That is true. I will read, I got a text in the middle of the night last night, and like you can't text me in the middle of the night because I read it in the middle of the night when I like wake up and then I forget to respond. I am a shitty friend.

SPEAKER_01 40:20

Yeah. You might need the speed dating of friends, the speed friendship. I know. I could just find a new friend for six minutes and be like, I was fulfilled from the six minutes I was getting. And then I know.

SPEAKER_02 40:34

I know. I just, you know, you've done a lot of talking about like the person you spend the rest of your life with, like how they need to be your best friend because like the kids get older. And like I'm definitely, I've definitely like found myself in that era because when I have my kids, they go to a sleepover or Wyatt's working on his, you know, passion project, and that happens to be in his dad's garage. And um it leaves, you know, Brad and I a lot of times like sitting around like looking at each other, like, what are we gonna do? And I'm so lucky that I enjoy spending time with him. Um, but he recently like, yeah. Now he, yeah, his new job and he's out of the house. And distance makes the heart grow fonder. I will definitely say that. Yeah. Um yeah, but he is, he is my best friend and I enjoy doing stuff with him. But I don't want, I don't want to be, I don't want him to be the only person I enjoy spending time with. And I have my mother too, but she has to be my friend. I need to have another friend or two for sure to spend some time with. I need somebody that wants to hang out with me that I don't have that's not like my mom, and she has to. Yeah. True. That is true.

SPEAKER_01 41:51

But then I want to do that. Accepting applications, accepting applications currently now.

SPEAKER_02 41:56

I'm such an old lady. Like, and I love my job because like we I literally got done and I left my house for the first time this week, and it was to go to CVS and Walgreens. And then like I got back and recording this podcast, and I literally wouldn't, I haven't left my house all week. So I I know why I don't have any friends. I don't leave my house. You probably need to do that. Or maybe it's my RBF. I know I've got a lot of work to do myself. Anyway, I just went on an irrelevant tangent, but I'm in search of a best friend. But Gina and her husband's best friend is not even a real person. It's AI. It's meta AI. We learned that. They literally invited Meta AI out on a date night.

SPEAKER_01 42:46

Without knowing. So I don't know if any of you have tried that, but it's uh it's quite interesting that you accidentally message Meta instead of the friend. And you have a heck of a conversation, and meta he's meeting me at restaurants and everything.

SPEAKER_02 43:02

So her husband went to reach out to a friend to invite him to a show and dinner, and he hit the meta button and had a whole blown conversation. Like Meta picked the date, the meta picked the time. Meta was picking where they were going to dinner, and like it was.

SPEAKER_01 43:25

Tell him he was gonna buy the tickets and tell them in you know, Gina, you and I were gonna have so much fun. Like it was ridiculous. And he's like, I don't think this is my friend. No, it's a robot.

SPEAKER_02 43:39

AI is scary. We've talked about it once, we've talked about it twice, but anyway, give us your feedback if you hated this episode. It's okay, it won't happen again. I just wanted to share my thoughts and what goes through my head. And it's it's sometimes it's a very chaotic place, let me tell you.

SPEAKER_01 43:57

Yes, yes, but I think it was fun though. So hopefully um everybody enjoyed it. We do a couple different kind of fun ideas and you know, message in. I want to hear from you guys as to what it is that you know you would like us to talk about or something, some of the stuff that's even answering the questions to some of the questions, the things that Kylie asked me would be kind of neat to see what other opinions uh, other ideas, how you live your life. Right? Right, love it. All right, well, that's a wrap.

SPEAKER_02 44:30

Thank you. See ya. Thanks for spending time with us. Take what you need, leave what you don't, and be gentle with yourself. And if you want to stay connected, follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok at the ARMC. And remember, you're not broken, you're becoming. We'll see you next time.
