Welcome to be real. And a little extra. Do you
want to do that again? I do not. I do not. It
is what it is. I was thinking of saying when
to you because while the intro music that you
all just heard was going on, she's going, tell
me when. As if we've never done this before.
I didn't know if you were holding. I didn't know
if you were waiting for me to say something.
True, because you never wait. You just start
talking. I have things to say. I'm Victoria.
Hey, guys. I'm Carly. Oh, that was so good. Wait,
I can't tell. Was that serious? Hey, guys. Told
you I'm not sleeping, so I don't have a voice.
I'm trying to save my voice. Only you can control
forest fires and sleep. Wait, I have a serious
question. What is the over under, I spill this
coffee on my white pants? Oh, 100 % yes. Okay.
Considering you just rested it on the couch and
it was at like a 45 degree angle tilt because
she was texting on her phone. So I'm gonna say
yes. I just, I don't wear white ever for this
reason. I don't wear white pants. You wear cream
all the time. On my shirt, but never on my pants.
You have a matching outfit. You've worn it on
the show. A white one? Cream? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, cream. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I mean, this
is like nurse white. I call hospital white. OK,
OK. Well, this this goes well with what we're
going to talk about today because we are talking
about post Labor Day. Oh, I don't like those
kinds of rules. And apparently there's a rule
that you can't wear white, white shoes or white
everything. White. pants. You cannot wear white
pants after Labor Day. Why? I don't know. I don't
do that rule because I like winter white. So
I will wear white pants in the winter. I think
it's very cute for December Christmas outfit.
I don't own white. I don't care about that rule.
It's not in the closet. Not in the drawers. Oh,
you're white. It's not even on my feet. I just
I thought you said you weren't in the closet.
That either. I love them all. So yeah, we're
talking about the transition of summer to fall
because we have to. It is officially two weeks
into August. So can you bring up the elephant
in the room? It's time beside your white pants.
Yeah, the blanket that we're sitting on. Yes,
let me repeat what I said. We're transitioning
into fall because we're two weeks into August
and so my Hocus Pocus sweatshirt and my blanket
that I bought at Michael's in July this season
because that's what Michael says Have been available
and ready for the fall since July. I see it.
I see it now Yeah, I didn't notice your sweatshirt
before I was worried about my white pants. So
we know Wasn't looking at you. We know But yeah,
I'm always ready for fall. Like, even when it's
May, I'm like, ooh, let's get back to fall. I
don't like summer, obviously. We've talked about
it. But now it's getting real. Yeah, I hate it.
I hate this time of year. I want to go back down
the short. Can we redo? No, no, I don't want
to do that. OK. No. I don't like back to school.
And. I never liked the September. September is
not a month for me. So you would like to wake
me up when September ends? Wake me up when September
ends. You have a good voice for the emo. I do.
Cry. Wait, I'm going to agree with you. Yeah,
the emo cry. I don't like September. I'd like
to skip. I'd go from Labor Day to October. I
just want to be into fall already. I don't like
the transition. So you don't want to enjoy the
journey. You just want the end game. For all
things in life. That's across the board. Yeah.
How are you still alive? Like it's a real thing.
And how are you keeping other humans alive? Wait,
let's talk about that for a hot second. I told
Victoria I needed to make this short today. I've
got a million things to do. She's got a million
things to do, but I have to I will because you
just said that. Bring this up. I had to call
Andrew. We all know Andrew's been away all summer.
I have not seen him in almost five weeks. And
I called him like the week after he left and
was like, what do I do around here? Because you
clearly I'm doing all these jobs in the house
that I've never done before. Like what? The trash.
Oh. How many times I put the trash out in the
trash can and then bring it down to the end of
the driveway, making the coffee the night before.
Like the bane of my existence is making the coffee
the night before for myself the next day. Like
I am literally in bed going, gosh. Darn it, I
gotta go downstairs and got to make the coffee.
The dishes and the dishwasher. You can make it
in the morning too, you know that, right? I need
it to be ready when I wake up. Because you're
a princess and your husband has done that for
you for the past 14 years. The dishwasher, I
have to load it and unload it and put everything
away. The laundry, he always puts the laundry
in the dryer. I throw the laundry in the washer
and then I forget it. It's like you set it and
forget it. It magically goes into the dryer,
never knew how. Now I know. Andrew's been putting
it in the dryer for me for 15 years. Oh, my God.
So I've been doing the laundry. I've been vacuuming.
I've been setting ant traps for the ants that
come in the summer. I've been walking the dogs.
I've been letting the dogs out. Who let the dogs
out? Andrew lets the dogs out because it's clearly
not me. And Drew, Drew, Drew, Drew. I called
him and I said, what do I do? I... Meaning like,
how do I do all this stuff? Or like, what's my
purpose? I'm useless. I have to like cook for
the kids and feed them. They have missed so many
meals this summer that I have just been like,
you don't need lunch today. I feel like you just
had breakfast. Let's just wait till dinner. Nobody
calls CPS. They're fine. And he said, he was
very nice about it. And he was like, you keep
the kids alive. And I said, I don't think I am
doing a good job at that either because they're
skipping meals and eating candy and eating takeout
and eating in the Seafit kids room because I
don't have time to make like a vegetable. So
I don't know if I'm keeping the kids alive. You'll
have to see when you get home. Well, this is
a moment to laugh at you. Sure is always is number
one. Number two, it's a moment to appreciate
single moms. Oh, my God. I don't know how. Single
parents. Single parents. There are some single
dads out there. I don't know how you guys do
it. I really don't. And also, if this is a fun
game, let your spouse go away for a week and
see how little you do around in life, in the
house. It's a fun game. I've only ever done it
by myself. So that's not a fun game for me because
I can do it all. OK. Well, I can't. I've never
had to. I met Andrew when I was 19. I've never
taken the trash out in my life. Never. I met
Andrew when I was 19. I've never made coffee.
No one feels bad for you. I just want to put
that, first of all, no one's trying to... She
doesn't want sympathy. I don't want sympathy.
I'm shocked at myself. But oh my God. I'm shocked
at... You pump your own gas. I do. Yay. Yay.
You make your own food. I I do I make what you
always make the meals. I yes Do it just bitches
alarming. Yeah. No, I don't know. I don't this
I don't breakfast. He makes breakfast He makes
the oatmeal for the kids trying to help you.
Yeah And I clearly they don't know what lunch
is anymore because we don't do that. I So I saw
a thing on One of my one of my Instagram accounts
the algorithm is a lot of like oh it's fit to
be real hey the algorithm is a lot of self -help
and tips and everything we talk about basically
because you are what you scroll through and they
there's a theory or a system of the vegetable
tray for kids have you seen it you put out uh
on your counter i guess you would do it on the
island just a tray of open fruit and vegetables
and they graze because they're grazing on vegetables
and good stuff, they say, I want a snack. It's
right there. They'll stop asking you for a snack.
They're just going to go for it. Well, that's
a good idea. Christina told me she does that.
Christina, our Pilates teacher, was like, because
I was saying how the kids are just eating horribly.
And she was like, I just put it out on the counter
and I just put. veggies and like she's like sometimes
she'll put chocolate covered pretzels as like
a side but usually it's like vegetables and fruit
and i was like that sounds good i should do that
but i need to get the ant traps so i can get
the ants taken care of before i leave the food
out but andrew usually does that right right
right so long story short i like that idea i
will do that when andrew gets back to take care
of the house so when andrew does it yeah When's
trash day for you? I don't know. I have to call
them every week. I still to this day do not know.
That sounds like a mental problem. I don't I'm
not gonna write it down. So I I'm just like just
can you just remind me when the recycle goes
out? I can't I don't have a mental capacity for
the things that I don't To use your thumb and
type it and write it. No like take a note I know
this is these jobs aren't forever for me. So
I don't care to retain. As soon as he comes back,
I'm out. I'm tapping out. He can take his jobs
back. Pedro, you picked the right sister. I just
hope, I hope you're listening. Tap it out. Not
that you had a choice. Tap it out. Um, Carly.
I just, I'm done. It's been, it's been two months.
I'm done. You're done being a human? Yeah. I
don't want to take the trash out anymore. You've
done being a homeowner. I'm done being a homeowner.
She wanted to say homeowner. Homeowner, homeowner.
Cool. Well. Having said that, all that. The smallest
violin is playing for you. However, it is an
interesting vantage point. Because you never
would have. No. You would never would have really
seen it or realized it all like the little things
that you probably don't factor. All of us that
we don't factor into the day. I don't factor
in my coffee. I just have to make it every day.
But you, you know, those little moments. I appreciate,
I always appreciated him. I knew he did a lot.
We know. I do. We did too. But now it is has
been seen. I have been living it. We were at
our uncle's I don't know, last weekend. And he
usually plays with the kids in the pool while
I sit and play cards. And I don't really have
to think about the kids at all because I know
Andrew's got it. And I'm like a super pool freak
about the kids being in the water without being
watched. And I have to sit there and watch the
kids. Oh, to be fair, we were all making fun
of her behind her back because we were going,
why is she sitting crisscross legged, two feet
away from him at the pool? Now, this pool is
the size of this living room. Okay, it's not
very big. You guys are making fun of me. We were
like, does she have to sit there? Yes. Does she
have to sit on top of them? They were in the
deep end. She could, I could have spit into the
deep end from the other side of the backyard.
And you were, you literally camped out. She crisscrossed
her legs, had her phone in her hand, was playing.
I'm going to pretend to care that they want me
to watch them jump into the pool. And we were
all sitting having a grand old adult time watching
them from two feet away. You couldn't even give
them space. No, because they just learned how
to jump off the diving board into the deep end.
And you had seven adults. I'm not including you.
Six adults at the ready. Should anything happen?
You guys are making fun of me. You making fun
of me, Riz? Yes. Okay, well now that I know,
I will probably do it again this weekend, but
do not hover! He doesn't do that. He doesn't
even do that. No, he's jumping off the diving
board too and playing with them. I sit and play
cards. Yes, you could have still done that and
stared at your children with lasers with your
eyes, just as you did two feet away from them.
I was nervous. We also went, if anything happens,
she's gonna scream. not jump in the pool, and
one of us will jump in the pool. So what is the
big deal about being on top of that? That is
correct. What do I do? You're a fool. You're
a fool. Andrew, come home. Andrew. OK. Stay away.
Well, again, having said all of that, we're going
to get into the seven tips for dealing with the
end of summer blues. Because clearly, she should
be giving you lots of tips. That's what she just
told us. On how to live your life. Well, I don't
like the end of summer, so I always have end
of summer blues. Somebody just said this to me
on Sunday in class. I have the August scaries.
Like the Sunday scaries? Yeah. Like gearing up
for Monday. People are like, oh. But you do it
all August. August scaries. I mean, I guess that's
what I do too, because I'm dreading. the school
emails and the lunches and the uniforms. I'm
dreading it. I don't want it to happen. It's
a good thing you had children that have to be
in the system until they're 17. We'll see. I
could homeschool. Nobody wants that. Number one.
Oh my god. You would be the wild thornberries.
Yeah. Dean is the little Tasmanian devil one.
Melody is wearing the older teen girl with the
glasses that's just like super cool. I always
wanted her outfit. And Louis is there. I think
there was another son. I can't remember. Yeah.
I can't remember. They would learn not much.
They would learn how to make the coffee for me
in the morning, take out the trash, do the laundry.
They would learn those things. That's called
something else. No. Number one, let's deal with
these blues. Child labor laws. Say it again?
I can't. Child labor laws. There you go. Vitamin
D. Get outside. Get outside. The more vitamin
D you get, it correlates with your positivity.
It literally gets in your bloodstream, the vitamin
D. If you avoid it, you know that's like seasonal
depression. The less vitamin D you get, the more
seasonal depression you'll get and that's why
people have these what they call those lights
that you can have at your house to we talked
about it the simulated sunrise yeah simulated
sunrise so while the sun is still out and while
you can get outside before it gets too cold yeah
get all the vitamin d you can and it will just
make you happier but i'm gonna i'm gonna say
it what i've been walking every day And now is
the season when even in my moving walks with
the dog, I got four major bug bites on my butt
cheeks. I know. Last night. Last night? They're
still there, they're so big. I was walking and
I was like, why am I, what is, oh my gosh, while
I was moving. Did it get like down your pants
or something? No, I think they just did it through
my pants when you weren't, leggings aren't that
thick. I don't know, four of them. They're huge.
This season is mosquito season and I, that's
the only thing I can't handle. I know, but if
you can, you know what you can do, go to Seafit
inside where there are no mosquitoes, because
we had a grand old time in class last night.
Yeah, so screw tip number one. Tip number two.
Who cares about vitamin D? Plan a vacation. But
plan a vacation. During the year I this is one
of my favorite things to do and we started doing
it a couple years ago I need things I'm the kind
of person that needs things to look forward to
to get me to yeah life Just isn't happy enough.
No, it makes me nothing to live for there's Come
on keep it coming one more one more you suck.
Oh, I Got nothing I need to be like, okay, in
a month, we're going to New York for the night
to see a show. In a month, we're doing, we have
a concert. So it doesn't have to be a vacation.
I like to have events that I wanna go to because
so much of life, I know for Victoria and for
myself, whether you have kids or not, is doing
things for other people or going to other people's
events or blah, blah, blah. I like to plan stuff
that I like to do. Yeah. To get me through those,
you know the crazy the craziness of the year
There's a party idea online that I saw that I
want to do this year. So in my mind I want to
plan this wait I think I know what it is bring
your own celebration party. No, it's not it.
Okay, so We'll talk about what you're talking
about in a second, but you bring your own reason
So you you know, I can decorate it however I
want or whatever But if you pre tell me your
reason I'll make this banner of everyone's reasons
and you just get to get I mean It's just a stupid
reason to get together with people that you want
to get together with but it kind of just like
makes a little bit fun I love that idea because
I always see these reels on Instagram of these
people having these fun theme parties Yeah, and
you always are like my birthday's in October
everything like just have a party it does you
don't need a reason just Have a fun. I want to
do the one where it's like pick your favorite
photo of yourself as a young kid and try and
re come as it reenacted I've seen that one like
there I can name five pictures that I Like are
in rotation in my head when I was like three
years old I would come dressed as me as the three
-year -old and that's why you don't know how
to make coffee because you're thinking about
photos of yourself Yes. Or I just saw one yesterday
that was come as your senior year, how you dressed
as senior year. Oh, God. No, but it's really
funny because mom would come completely looking
different than how we would come looking as our
senior. Like, what did we wear senior year of
high school? Come with your cow pants and your
bucket hat. No, that was eighth grade. That was
yesterday. Yeah. I have a cow bag. But yeah,
you come as dressed as your senior year, which
I love. Yeah. There's no, that's the thing. The
problem is, we have to be serious about these
things, even though they seem frivolous, because
then all of a sudden everything's too busy, every
weekend's taken up, you always have a reason
as to why it's not a right time, and then now
the year's over and we're talking about September
again, you know? So, we just have to do it. I
love that. That's it. So I'm changing it. Plan
a vacation or plan a party. Yeah, an event. An
event. Something that you like. I like a concert.
I went to a lot of concerts last year. Yeah.
Last year was the year of yes for me, and I'm
going to redo that. I like that. OK, next one.
Re -evaluate your goals. I feel like September
and January are very similar for me. Because
in January, everybody does the New Year's resolutions
or the whatever. What do we call them? What do
you call them? Intentions? Intentions. But I
feel like I do that in September, too. It's like
a restart. Even if you don't have kids that are
school age and you're starting in school, it
just feels that way. I still think it's back
to school for me. Yeah. It's like, oh, it's September.
Things are changing. It just feels like that.
Yeah. I just had this conversation this morning
with my clients. January is a reset, but September
can be a refocus. Oh, that's good. I like that.
So that. It's not necessarily like all right.
Let's do it again in January. It's just okay.
It's September or it's gearing up to September
What do I want to finish this year out yeah like
I mean it could be even so much as that we've
talked about before of looking at your goals
that you set in past January and like Did they
pan out? Yeah, did you? Take put them in action.
Do you have to read like think them so it's just
different ways to say the same thing. Yeah, I
like that. But yeah, I agree. September. We haven't
been in school in how long? Well, 20 years. Oh,
yeah. Well, I graduated high school 20 years
ago. Oh, right. So, you know, do the math. I
went to four colleges, so I'm not going to do
the math. It's like a decade. And I still am
like, oh, September. OK. Love a new notebook
and new pencils. And I love wasting my money
on things I'm not going to use 100 percent. We're
both using our phones. My notebook is on the
coffee table. Yeah, it's right there. Yeah, she's
doing her best doing my best But yeah, it's really
things that that you want to make happen. I like
I like what you said It's like a refocus. I like
that All right. Next one get excited about it
even if you're Did I say that get excited about
it? We are very excited about fall. We are fall
people if you're not a fall person and you are
a summer person, find some reasons to get excited
about what's coming. So you really have to do
that yourself. Look ahead. What are you excited
about? Are you excited about bonfires? Are you
excited about the hayrides? If you're not a Halloween
person, are you excited about Thanksgiving? Try
and find the good in what's to come. You could
plan a tropical party in November, December.
Be like, I want to go back to that mindset. Tiki
bar it up in the middle of winter. Like what
are the rules? There are no rules. I like it.
The next one. I'm very serious about this. I'm
very serious about my tips. I just think you
have a lot going on. I'm gonna be completely
honest. You have a lot going on. Okay, indulge
in self -care. I don't think there's a timeline
for this. I think this is an all year long...
I think it's something we put in every season
to be like, it's a good time for this, because
it just doesn't happen. Well, I said that last
night in class. It's like a hamster wheel, because
I was like, guys, what is it? Where is everybody
tonight? Because I had a really small class.
I said, is it me? And after everybody said yes,
they said, no, no, no, no, no, wait. It's really
nice out. People are happy. I said, guys. It's
always something. The Phillies are playing. Then
the Eagles are playing. Then back to school is
starting. Then it's the holidays. It's always
going to be something. So you have to make it
important enough. I wasn't yelling at the people
that were actually in class. The people that
actually signed up for your class don't need
to hear this. They were like, please don't punish
us because we're here. And I said, oh no, I'm
going to punish all the people that didn't show
up through you guys' class tonight. So you can
all tell your friends. So it is 100 % you. Like
you texted me that, and I was like, yes. I've
been telling you this for months. Yeah, no, it's
me. But what I'm trying to make the correlation
here is there is never a good time. There's never
a bad time. So self -care is all year round,
and it starts over in September. If you've dropped
it a little bit over the summer, because yes,
even the summer is crazy. The fall is crazy too.
Plan it. Go get that massage. Get your nails
done. Sign up for the new gym that you've been
meaning to go to, but you've been down the shore
all summer. Indulge in it all year long. Agreed.
This one is one of my favorites because I started
doing it a couple weeks ago, and I really love
it. Turn your home into a sanctuary. I don't
really turn my home into a sanctuary, but what
that really means is declutter. Get rid of all
the stuff that you don't need anymore. Go through
and so you can start fresh like Victoria said
in September We're both having a hard time talking.
Yours are a little worse than mine. So I'm a
little excited about that September is It's a
new month coming so we'll let you know when it
drops but uh, September is a really good time
to purge because you're gonna bring out your
Halloween stuff and your decoration. That's that's
what I think I look around I'm like, okay How
can I possibly add decorations to what already
feels very cluttered? And it's just getting things
situated and organized. I have a pack of really
nice boxes, like storage boxes that I bought
last year to organize my decorations in the cellar
downstairs. Still haven't done it. Don't say
cellar. Like now would be a good time. Basement?
What do you? It's not a basement from Wizard
of Oz. Get down there. NEM, get in the cellar.
I'm gonna need you all to rein in on this one.
But Vote Cellar, it is a completely cement and
stone creepy ghost -like empty room with all
the things you need like the boiler system or
it's not a boiler but like the water what decade
what year are you from you have your boiler in
your cellar yeah you probably do hold on you
don't even know how to make coffee i don't know
why i'm trying to fight this i have a cellar
where i store all my stuff and i would like to
organize it so now would be a good time to do
that to set up for you know september an easier
september and venember and september december
Well, I have, adding on to that, I have three
birthdays in the summer. All my kids are in the
summer. So we have, it's been, it's like Christmas
all year long. Now I have to gear up for Christmas.
It's an expensive summer. Oh God, it's horrible.
But I'm so happy that they're here. Maybe you
should beat them lunch. No, I'm decluttering.
But the toys are like overflowing in my house.
So I love at the end of the summer to get rid
of the stuff. Like they've got new stuff. So
to get rid of some of the things they don't play
with so that we can redo it come Christmas. So
I love that time of year. You teach them donation.
Yeah. Oh, yeah. So they have to go through and
do all that kind of stuff and they have to donate
the things they don't play with anymore. But
it's a good feeling. Yeah. Yeah. It's a really
good feeling. All right, the last one which I
think you guys are really gonna love and I think
you all might suggest for me get help If it is
a and I don't mean this to be funny, but I probably
need it myself if gearing up for September and
the restart of the refocus is really so bad that
you just can't Focus on anything and you really
don't want to do it seek professional help talk
to somebody get with somebody that enjoys it.
Maybe you can find some like commonalities or
whatever. But for me, just get help. I support
this more than anything you've ever said, only
if you're directing that at yourself. But I,
if I'm going to add to that, I think get help
could also be if you're overwhelmed with the
things that you have to do, i .e. normal life
that is shocking to you. Get help. Get someone
to come over and walk your dogs. Get help. Ask
somebody to take the kids to lunch so you can
get something done. Like, get help that way,
too. I know. I hate doing that, but yeah. My
mom is so mad at me at all times this summer
because I guess I've been saying I got it a lot.
That's all you say. I got it. And let me tell
you something. You don't got it. Let me be the
first and not only to say you do not got it.
It's just easier if I do it. Is it? Because you
look tired. You're not sleeping. You tell us
every week you're not sleeping. I just feel like,
I'm like, I got it. You're not feeding the children.
She's like, I'm going to put it on a t -shirt.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'm not feeding the children.
Again, we're partially kidding. Nobody call.
Chill out. She's just feeding them junk. So they're
very happy. Yeah, they're staying up late, sleeping.
I mean, they're like college kids right now.
So. But yeah, get help. Okay, yeah. So, I'm gonna
add a little bit to this list, but we're also
gonna keep it short. Add immune boosting practices
to your routine. We have two articles we're attaching
to this episode. Highly recommend you read them.
But I read that and I was like, huh? What does
that mean? And it's similar to what you said.
Declutter, get all of the seasonal food that...
Not necessarily like you've bad food in your
kitchen, but like the spices that come out and
fall, put them in the front, like reset the rooms
that are always kind of seasonal. Make it easier
for yourself. Sorry, is it okay that I hold my
mic like this? I got some feedback last week
that some interesting mic holds. I forgot, I
totally forgot. I don't like it. And also schedule
your doctor's appointments. Boo I know but I
haven't done it as soon as the recital ended.
I was like I'm Calling the dentist. I'm scheduling
the doctor. I'm doing the gynecologist, but I've
not made one call. Yeah me either for myself
for my health and That's a problem. It's a problem
because now we're gonna get in the season where
our immune our immune systems like decrease a
little due to how much we're not taking care
of ourselves. That and those teachers and nurses
who are going to be around snotty kids all year.
I mean, it's just what happens. So if you can
prevent, try to. Yeah, don't be around children.
Take a social media break. Yes. Take a social
media break. I didn't think this was something
to gear yourself up for September, but I think.
the reason for this. I mean, they talk about
it, but it's just more comparison. They had a
better summer. I didn't do as much this summer
as other people's. I should make September, October
the busiest and do all the things and go to all
the farms and do all the, and then all of a sudden
you're running yourself ragged in comparison
of what you did do, what you didn't do, what
you have to do. And you're now starting the year
like that. But how am I going to save all the
Halloween decorations and recipes that I'm never
going to do if I don't see it on Instagram and
save it and then forget about it? True. I saw
a really good one this morning doing it. It happens
every year. I save about 30 cute recipes, decoration
ideas, and then it never happens. Well, maybe
that's part of your self -care. Yeah, like make
it happen. Yeah, dude one want to make a cheesecake
with a little spiderweb on it Okay, been there
done that literally done it for you. Maybe that's
where I got the idea My memories are your memories
start a summers and tradition Oh my god, I'm
gonna hurt you start a summers and tradition
We all have one. It's Labor Day, right? There's
one already set. Yeah We also have one in our
specific family. It's not summer's end technically,
but like we go down the shore It's a tradition.
We do it every year. It's Used to be towards
summer's end. Yeah, it's more midsummer. Yeah,
but like find something for you and your little
unit Your people your friends and that's what
you do at the end of the summer every year Yeah,
even if it's just like a gathering makes you
happy Even though something's coming to an end.
It makes you happy to think about oh I still
have this coming up and that's gonna be so fun
But it becomes this tradition. Yeah, there's
no new thought to that. It just becomes the tradition
that you get excited for. Well, one of our traditions
is we go to our uncles in Jersey, and we go to
their pool. And that's the last hurrah. We sit
at the pool next to the diving board if your
kids are just learning how to swim. If you're
smothering and hovering. That's our last time
at the pool. It's our last time playing cards.
for outside for the year. And that's sort of
the end before school. Yeah. But find that for
yourself. Yeah. Could be a porch hang with some
wine with your friends. Yeah. It doesn't have
to be anything crazy. But I like that. I like
that, too. And then this one is the last one.
This one lists like, did you get all your summer
bucket list stuff done? I didn't even make that
list. But it also makes a fall bucket list. So
I think for me, it's more that. at the start
of each season, make a little bucket list for
yourself from September to end of November and
then December to, what, March? Yeah. I don't
know. Whatever winter months are for you and
how you want to pack it that way. Maybe it's
just Christmas. That seems to be its own season.
Your dog smells so bad right now. I have to walk
her. Oh, I can't. I can't un -smell her. I don't
smell it. Oh. Can your bucket list take your
dog for more walks? She's right next to me. We
walk for 40 minutes every single day, but I haven't
done it yet. I've been working and I fed her.
Oh, I smell it. Yeah. Yeah. Your dog is. Because
I gave her wet food in the morning. OK, continue.
You'll feel better soon, Pepper. I promise. No,
that's it. Create a bucket list for the season.
Like, I want to go to Dalton Farms. I've been
saying it since I was 30, because that's when
I discovered it. Oh my god, she really did. Like,
I can't focus right now. I cannot focus. It wafted.
What was I saying? Dalton Farms. Dalton Farms.
In the fall, you can pay for it. You can pay
for up to two -hour time slots, which is what
they started in COVID, to go to, it's all sunflowers.
Oh, you would like that. But they do food trucks
and live music. Oh, that's fun. It's this whole
thing. It's right over the bridge in Jersey.
I would do that. And in the spring, it's all
tulips. And you can walk through, you can clip
them, you can purchase, just like the villa with
pumpkins and strawberries and stuff. But in the
fall it's sunflowers because that's when they
bloom and it looks amazing and it's just yeah
It's a fun fall thing to do and I want to carve
pumpkins this year I had didn't do it last year
didn't do it last year I wanted but like those
things that you don't think you need to make
a list for I think you have to Visualize the
list so you can make sure that they happen. Yeah,
especially with kids. I know we didn't carve
pumpkins last year and they remembered like after
the fact they were like, Halloween's over and
we didn't carve pumpkins. I was like, there was
no time. But that's like this, I know, I can't,
it's in my mouth. I don't even want to talk because
I don't want my mouth open. Oh, she moved. Don't
be ashamed. You should definitely be ashamed
of yourself right now. You're embarrassing yourself.
She's healthy. Leave her alone. Oh my God. She's
also rotting from the inside out. But I think
I think that is what it is for you. You have
to make the list. Yeah, you can but right Right
a list. Yeah. Yeah. No, I'll do it. Yeah, I'll
do it. I'm doing my best It's not great But I
thought those are your tips your our Tips and
advice that we also need to take To kind of make
it a smooth transition or to make it not so sad.
Yeah, I think that's what it is not to make it
so devastating that the summer is over and then
we got to go back to the grind. Like, here we
go again. I've been grinding. Out here grinding.
It's not that. I'm grinding. I can see the move.
Because I'm out here. Stop it. I don't know what
I'm gonna be. This is how I'm gonna be. It's
really high. It's really high. You started really
high. It's one, two, three, me. That's all I
know. Three punches, one name. I don't know but
we got the last one. Oh, different song. That's
a different song. Sorry. Never mind. I don't
know what they say. I'ma be me. Cause I'm out
here grinding. Cause I'm out here DJ Khaled.
