1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,760
We chose the perfect name in chaos because that's all we really did.

2
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:35,680
Okay, welcome to the chaos and carry ons podcast where the two most introverted people that you'll ever meet decide to start.

3
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:37,320
A podcast.

4
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:39,280
An unlikely pair.

5
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,800
I thought we could start off with talking about how we met.

6
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:44,360
Just kidding.

7
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:52,120
We'll just say we bonded over our love of undercover work.

8
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,160
And as they say, the rest is history.

9
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:02,080
Let's, let's pretend like somebody just found this, like, you know, we became famous and somebody finds this.

10
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,520
They don't know who we are, even though we know everybody that's listening right now.

11
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:06,480
Knows who we are.

12
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,280
So my name is Stephanie.

13
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:15,520
I have three kids, two girls and a boy, 16, 12 and three.

14
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:17,800
So we have all the ages.

15
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,480
And I don't know if I want to say where I live because I'm a little leery of the internet.

16
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:24,240
Yeah, don't say it.

17
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:26,280
We could say the state.

18
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:28,440
Yeah, we live in Alabama.

19
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,360
So I got my love of traveling.

20
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:32,680
Well, let me go back.

21
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,000
We did not grow up traveling that much.

22
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,240
I only ever traveled with my grandmother.

23
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,880
And she took us everywhere.

24
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,280
We even went to like Frankenmuth, Michigan.

25
00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:49,640
I know that's like really random, but when we went to Disney, like that's.

26
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,200
That's who we went with was her.

27
00:01:54,600 --> 00:02:00,240
So shout out to Nana because if it wasn't for her, probably.

28
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,560
I mean, we talk about that sometimes.

29
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,440
Like if she didn't take us, I don't know if we would have really liked traveling.

30
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,160
Maybe eventually.

31
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,840
No, you would have been in the Smoky Mountains with everybody else that we know.

32
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,040
Yeah, it was really her.

33
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,280
I remember like one time she even took us to St.

34
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:17,920
Pete again.

35
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:21,320
That's like really random, but that was just how she was.

36
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,200
Like she loved to go to someplace that she had never been.

37
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:27,440
Who does that sound like?

38
00:02:27,640 --> 00:02:28,040
You know?

39
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:28,400
Yep.

40
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:33,920
So once we got married, that's really, well, we were poor too.

41
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,760
When we first started, got married.

42
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:44,440
But after Sophia was maybe about, I'm going to say five, that's when N.

43
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:45,080
Harper was born.

44
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,240
That's when we really started traveling a lot.

45
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:53,360
And, you know, once you start, it's hard to go back.

46
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,280
I think between the two of us, we'd probably stayed at almost every resort.

47
00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:59,240
You mean Disney, right?

48
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:00,400
Yes.

49
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,520
Because up till now, these people don't know that we're Disney dorks.

50
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:06,400
We should have added that in.

51
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,800
Remember, we're talking to people that don't know us.

52
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:10,040
Okay.

53
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:11,720
So we're both travel agents.

54
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:13,960
But that's not what this podcast is.

55
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:14,960
We're not selling trips.

56
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,040
No, no.

57
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,600
And we're not talking about, um,

58
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,440
adoption journeys or trauma right now.

59
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:24,120
No cancer.

60
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,120
Maybe one, no cancer, no kidnappings for now, maybe one day.

61
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:28,480
No.

62
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:29,880
Okay.

63
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:35,040
So yeah, we both are travel agents, but that's not the point of this podcast.

64
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,320
No, just two, two friends who love to travel.

65
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,880
And now our kids think that it's not a vacation unless we're all together.

66
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:49,880
Which is fine with me because we've had more laughs on our vacations than I've

67
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,080
probably ever laughed in my life.

68
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:53,240
I know.

69
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,160
Well, something always goes wrong too.

70
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:56,280
That's true.

71
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,400
That's why this is called chaos and carry ons.

72
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,040
So my name is Shelby.

73
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,200
Um, I live in Tennessee.

74
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,680
I was born and raised, actually, I was born in Tennessee, but I was raised in

75
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,560
Alabama and I was raised in the state of Alabama.

76
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,120
And I was raised in the state of Alabama.

77
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,800
Actually, I was born in Tennessee, but I was raised in Alabama.

78
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:21,000
Um, I have been married to my Disney dork for 10 years.

79
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:30,560
I have one little girl who is almost seven and, um, we live a very boring,

80
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,920
low key life, nothing interesting.

81
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:34,320
Boring.

82
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,600
I mean, no, it's really not boring.

83
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,720
Um, we love, love, love to travel.

84
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:45,560
Um, like Stephanie, I did not, I didn't travel a lot as a kid.

85
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:50,800
We would go to the beach usually, like, if not every year, every other year.

86
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,920
Um, mostly we went to the smokey mountains because that was close to home.

87
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:01,120
And it was like a vacation without, without going big on vacation.

88
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:06,000
Um, I was 14 the first time I went to Disney world and I've probably

89
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,200
been a hundred times since then.

90
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:09,640
Just guessing.

91
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:15,640
Um, actually fun fact, when I was in kindergarten, mom and dad took us to Orlando

92
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,360
and I had the option, they gave me the choice.

93
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,720
We could go to Disney world or we could stay one more day at the beach.

94
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:29,480
And I chose Disney world and they took me to the phantasmagolf and told me

95
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:30,640
I was at Disney world.

96
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:35,560
And so when I got back home and all of my friends were like on spring break,

97
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,160
they're going to Disney world and I'm like, that place is horrible.

98
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,760
I don't know why you would want to go there because I thought

99
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,720
that's what Disney world was.

100
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,840
So I was 14 when I actually got to go to the real Disney world and was like,

101
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,840
okay, this makes so much more sense why people would choose to

102
00:05:50,840 --> 00:05:52,480
go here for spring break.

103
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:53,600
Okay.

104
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,280
So who did you go with then?

105
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,000
When I was 14.

106
00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:58,400
Yeah.

107
00:05:58,480 --> 00:05:59,400
Uh, my mom.

108
00:06:00,840 --> 00:06:01,360
Okay.

109
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,640
And she took me and my brother, we went, we did all the Disney parks.

110
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:12,040
We did universal, but Disney was like, that's, that's where I love Disney.

111
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:17,320
So we went more frequently as a teenager, we would go like pretty

112
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,320
much every year after that point.

113
00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:22,960
Um, and then I met Jordan.

114
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:27,120
Well, I mean, I already knew Jordan, but when we started dating, I realized

115
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:28,920
that he had a love for Disney.

116
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,760
Like I did, and he actually proposed at Disney world.

117
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,840
We went to Disneyland on our honeymoon, uh, Disney cruise on our

118
00:06:36,840 --> 00:06:38,800
anniversary, so on and so forth.

119
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:45,520
And so in that, uh, became more interested in selling Disney trips and helping

120
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,800
people to make magical memories like us.

121
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,640
And so that's where I began the travel agent gig.

122
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:57,080
And I've done it now for, I think January will be 8th of January.

123
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:01,120
I think January will be eight years, which is crazy to think.

124
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,120
Um, and it's crazy.

125
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:03,520
Yeah.

126
00:07:04,840 --> 00:07:07,240
But again, that's not what this podcast is about.

127
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:13,040
We will gladly help you if you, if you want to book a trip, either one of us

128
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,880
can give you advice, but that's, that's not what this is about.

129
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:23,120
No, I think that, um, I didn't, I was like, I didn't even talk about Derek.

130
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:23,840
Poor Derek.

131
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:24,240
Yeah.

132
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:25,240
Shout out to Derek.

133
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,880
Just tell it now and then I'll insert it and I'm just kidding.

134
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:29,480
I won't really.

135
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:36,120
Well, what I was going to say is Derek also, so Derek only went to Disney

136
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:37,880
once when he was a kid.

137
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,080
So like when we got married, we went on our honeymoon to Disney.

138
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,960
That was his second time ever going to Disney, which is nuts.

139
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:45,760
I know.

140
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,120
So he didn't grow up traveling either.

141
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,520
I think that that's, we can probably say for all of us now, I don't know

142
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:53,800
about Jordan, Jordan went to Hawaii.

143
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:54,280
So he's not.

144
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,000
He's not Jordan's not included because he traveled.

145
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:58,960
He went lots of places.

146
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:00,480
Yes.

147
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:05,960
But I think that's where the deep, like want to, like, I want to see more

148
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:07,360
places that I've never been before.

149
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,600
Cause you feel like a kid that's like, yeah, living out your dream.

150
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,640
You also want, like, I feel like it's one of those things that you want better

151
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,360
for your own kids than you had.

152
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,760
And, and our kids love traveling and seeing new places.

153
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:25,920
If they didn't, then we probably wouldn't do what we do or we'd leave them at home.

154
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:27,880
Yeah.

155
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:32,280
But when I was thinking about this today, like what I hope comes from the podcast

156
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:36,840
is that somebody is like, I took a trip because you guys talked about it.

157
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:38,520
I wouldn't have planned it.

158
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,040
Like it seemed too, too hard to do.

159
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,960
Um, especially like the Hawaii trip, we both get that all the time.

160
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:50,200
That seems like daunting to like, how do you walk through planning that?

161
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,320
But think about how long we planned our Hawaii trip.

162
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:58,600
So yeah, I turned 30 last year and that that's where it all originated.

163
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,080
I wanted to go to Hawaii for my 30th birthday.

164
00:09:01,560 --> 00:09:03,280
And so we started planning.

165
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,280
I don't know how long we planned it.

166
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,600
Maybe 18 months before we actually went.

167
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,480
That's when we were like, okay, we're doing this.

168
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:10,120
Let's go.

169
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:12,840
Well, Mattel wasn't even born yet.

170
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:18,000
Cause I re I remember when he was born and I remember you texting me something

171
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,720
about like, I can't wait to go to Hawaii with him.

172
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:21,320
Okay.

173
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:22,640
Well, he was two when we went.

174
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:23,040
Okay.

175
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:27,480
So it was more than so we, yeah, we already had the dream going.

176
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:32,760
Well, that was probably more like, you know, our, um, our fictional bucket

177
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,960
lists that we have like our non-ending bucket lists of trips.

178
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:38,280
Yeah.

179
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:42,800
But as far as like really planning, we, we plan that for a long time, but now I

180
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,280
feel like I could plan somebody else's Hawaii trip in two days.

181
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:47,200
Oh, for sure.

182
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:47,880
I feel the same.

183
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,560
I think that we actually started, like you said, seriously planning.

184
00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:55,880
It was about 18 months, like where we sat down and we were like, this is what,

185
00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:00,120
you know, this is what we're going to do and like really start researching it.

186
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:05,640
I mean, we're planning a trip now that's not going to take place until 2026.

187
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:07,440
We're still in 2024.

188
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,200
But yes, we, we have trips.

189
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,600
I mean, it's because like I said, our bucket list is so long and.

190
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,880
But we also have to plan them out when you're planning big trips.

191
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:19,680
That's a misconception.

192
00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:23,120
I feel like of traveling, you go on these big trips and it looks like that you've

193
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:28,640
spent so many thousands of dollars and you've just went big and it looks like

194
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:33,280
you're flaunting your money, but really like you save and prepare for that for so

195
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:33,880
long.

196
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:40,840
And I mean, but we don't, we don't drink, we don't smoke, we don't go to the

197
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,400
movies, we don't go to the movies.

198
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:43,720
We don't go to football games.

199
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:49,720
So there's extra things that like people spend their money on things like that,

200
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:50,880
that we don't.

201
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,040
So like traveling is our hobby.

202
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,040
Well, Jordan and Derek don't even hunt.

203
00:10:58,480 --> 00:10:59,000
No.

204
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:00,560
And that they don't hunt.

205
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,440
I mean, two men in the South.

206
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:04,000
Yeah.

207
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,480
People are probably gasping, but they just don't know.

208
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:09,920
They have no real hobbies either.

209
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:10,720
Let's be real.

210
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:17,320
No, I mean, like our hobbies are planning where we're going on vacation, going on

211
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,480
vacation, talking about our vacations.

212
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:20,520
Like that's it.

213
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:28,120
I mean, we have a camper, so we do go camping through the summer, early fall.

214
00:11:28,680 --> 00:11:33,320
And I mean, that feels like a vacation, even though it's not, but I mean, I guess

215
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,840
that that's kind of one of our hobbies, but, but it doesn't cost a lot of money

216
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:38,400
to camp.

217
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:43,680
No, the closest we've gotten to camping is staying at a cabin in the Smokies.

218
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:45,600
Yeah, that doesn't count.

219
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,480
And that was enough for us.

220
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:49,000
Yeah.

221
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:53,040
We went, we went to one of those cabins where it's like, you would rather get out

222
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:53,560
and walk.

223
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:58,840
And that was the last time it was very foggy and rainy that night.

224
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:03,960
And you never say never because you know, on our list, we're going to the Fort

225
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:05,360
Wilderness cabins and you're doing it.

226
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,800
Well, luckily, we're going to the Fort Wilderness cabins.

227
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,040
Well, luckily it's not going to be off right off of a cliff.

228
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,320
And Derek, and Derek driving and being like, this is fine.

229
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,680
It's like going up, you know, mountain I lived at at home.

230
00:12:17,680 --> 00:12:21,000
And I'm like, no, that one had a guard rail and it was nothing like this.

231
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,760
I don't know what you're talking about.

232
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:24,800
You've lost your mind.

233
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:25,720
Okay.

234
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,320
So that's, that's us in a nutshell.

235
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,360
I mean, we've been friends, how long we've been friends longer than me and Jordan

236
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,680
have been married, but we really got close.

237
00:12:34,680 --> 00:12:37,280
Like probably right before Taley was born.

238
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:42,360
And then now we're in so deep that like, yeah, we know, you know, too much.

239
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,600
We don't have to be my friend way too much.

240
00:12:45,680 --> 00:12:50,200
The voice memos at this point are like 10 minutes long.

241
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,200
Derek was like, how do you even remember what she said at the beginning of the

242
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:53,960
voice memo?

243
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,040
I was like, I don't like, I don't remember.

244
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:58,080
It's just talking.

245
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:02,120
No, but, but you know, like, you know what to reply to exactly.

246
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,640
And if it, if it was important, I would ask you again.

247
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:13,480
Well, like I said, I hope that somebody listens to this and maybe they decide to

248
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:14,240
go to Europe.

249
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,640
Maybe they decide, hopefully they decide to go to Japan.

250
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,400
Hey, that's on the bucket list for us one day.

251
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:27,040
It is if we can just get Jordan to survive off of rice and a sushi, that

252
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,120
sushi is probably not happening, but maybe rice.

253
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:30,760
I think he could live off rice.

254
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:36,240
So do you want to talk about like what we have planned or do you want to leave

255
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:40,080
them hanging and wait until like the first real episode after the intro?

256
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:43,640
We can talk about what we have planned.

257
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,240
I mean, I know we already talked about Hawaii, so that's going to be one of

258
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,440
probably the first things that we talk about.

259
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,160
And it's going to have to at least be a two part episode.

260
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,440
I mean, we could talk about Hawaii for weeks.

261
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,880
We had the absolute best vacation ever.

262
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:04,880
And I still love that we went when we did because we didn't know what last

263
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:06,320
year was going to look like.

264
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,840
And I'm so happy that we did it when we did it.

265
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,400
I think it, we couldn't have timed it better.

266
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,080
Well, we could also say that was our first trip together.

267
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:16,840
It was.

268
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,400
So we had not traveled together until that trip.

269
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,640
No, we have both been to Disney world.

270
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:28,920
Many, many times and talked about it and helped each other kind of plan trips

271
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:29,920
based on that.

272
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,160
But as far as going together, Hawaii was the first one.

273
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:39,240
And then after that, that's when our kids began to think that they couldn't go

274
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:40,600
on vacation without each other.

275
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:45,400
Now, whenever we show up somewhere and the kids are like, um, so what time is

276
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:46,960
Shelby and Jordan getting here?

277
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,560
And it's like, uh, they're not coming.

278
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:49,120
Why?

279
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,120
I mean, I'm sorry.

280
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,160
I said we're boring, but maybe we're not.

281
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:54,320
Yeah.

282
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,400
So it feels like, did you not invite them?

283
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:57,720
I mean, I thought you did.

284
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,960
I was like, no, we don't have to be invited.

285
00:14:59,960 --> 00:15:00,760
We definitely did.

286
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,520
So, so Hawaii definitely is going to be at least two episodes.

287
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:11,160
Maybe we'll do like, uh, the travel part of it and then like things to do there.

288
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,760
Um, also, I think we're going to be doing a lot of, uh,

289
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:21,440
travel and then like things to do there, um, also like Disney world,

290
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:25,040
Disneyland, we're going to Disneyland together in March.

291
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:29,600
So that will be to come, um, Disney cruise line.

292
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:31,520
You just went on a cruise.

293
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,840
I'm about to go on a cruise or another one.

294
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,200
So that, that will be to come.

295
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,280
We have to talk about 30 a.

296
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:39,880
Yeah.

297
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:42,880
That was our, both of our first time 38.

298
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:44,000
Yes, it was.

299
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,400
Well, I see like, because I still have notes because I knew that I would forget.

300
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,600
So I have not told you everything that happened on that cruise.

301
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:52,480
Okay.

302
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,280
So going back to Disneyland, uh, I want to specify that that's not just

303
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:57,240
going to be a Disney trip.

304
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,040
Let's put that out there for the future.

305
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:00,480
Yes.

306
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:01,520
Yeah.

307
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:06,360
And a lot of our trips are, I mean, well, I was going to say when we went to Disney

308
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,560
in June, it wasn't just Disney, but that was a lie.

309
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,040
We talked about doing other things, but we did it.

310
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:16,880
We did, but like Disneyland and even Hawaii, we stayed in the Disney resort,

311
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,760
but we did a lot of things outside of the resort.

312
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:21,200
Yes.

313
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:27,840
Um, and when we go to Disneyland, where we really don't have just a ton

314
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,760
planned at Disneyland, most of what we're doing is offsite.

315
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,640
Um, no, and I'm so excited to go back there.

316
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:36,760
So it's going to be fun.

317
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:41,920
So let's say that that turned into Shelby's celebration trip, which, so

318
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,200
Sophia says we use that as an excuse for everything now.

319
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:45,720
Well, we will.

320
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,440
So that trip every day is a day to be celebrated.

321
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:53,760
So that trip has some pretty huge things that we both have never done going on.

322
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:54,360
We'll say that.

323
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:55,160
Yes.

324
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:55,800
Yes.

325
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:56,680
Stay tuned.

326
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:57,040
Yeah.

327
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,240
Some things that people probably think is nuts, but you know, hey, when you

328
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,200
almost die, you know, I know, right.

329
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:08,200
I guess I should say, I mean, we said we weren't going to talk about adoption or

330
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:13,480
trauma, but I guess I should say like last year I was talking about Hawaii and

331
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:17,960
the timing and all that it's because last fall at the age of 30, I was

332
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,440
diagnosed with breast cancer, but right now I'm cancer free.

333
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:22,920
So that's in the past.

334
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,560
This is not going to be a cancer podcast, but I just felt like I probably should

335
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,440
say that anybody that knows me knows that.

336
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:34,280
Um, and a lot of people that don't know me probably know that, but you know, for

337
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:38,320
our imaginary friends that are going to listen that don't know who we are.

338
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:39,360
I feel like I should say that.

339
00:17:39,360 --> 00:17:44,600
So, so yes, Disneyland is that's like my celebration trip.

340
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,000
That will be the end of all of my treatments.

341
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:48,840
My port will be taken out.

342
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,400
That will be the celebration trip.

343
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:56,960
But, you know, we went to Disney this past June, we celebrated the end of like IV

344
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,520
chemo and then what did we do?

345
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,960
We celebrated some other something, the end of radiation.

346
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:03,480
I don't know.

347
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,960
But like Sophia says, we use that excuse for everything.

348
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,160
Literally everything.

349
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:10,680
But listen, I deserve it.

350
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:12,120
I would say so.

351
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:13,760
We all deserve it.

352
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,200
Yeah, we all do for the trauma.

353
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,000
That's what this is going to be like for the trauma.

354
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,480
I think that wraps up our intro.

355
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:21,200
Yeah.

356
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:22,400
Stay tuned.

357
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:23,600
You never know what you're going to get.

358
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:24,120
Yeah.

359
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:29,880
Um, if anybody has that they want to throw out, you know, I mean, we do have a list

360
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:31,320
of what the episodes are going to be.

361
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:35,280
But if you have something that you were like, yes, I want you to talk about this.

362
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,120
I mean, we're going to talk, like she said, we're going to talk about, we're

363
00:18:39,120 --> 00:18:42,880
going to talk about, um, we'll probably talk about Disneyland coming up and

364
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,240
planning that before we actually go.

365
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,120
Uh, we're going to talk about Hawaii.

366
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:49,360
We're going to talk about my cruise.

367
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,040
Then you're going to have a cruise coming up.

368
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:59,480
I'm thinking that we might have to touch on, um, this new, um, what is it?

369
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:00,560
What, what is it called?

370
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:01,640
They've changed it so many times.

371
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,200
It was like Genie plus and now it's.

372
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,160
Oh, the lightning lane premier.

373
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:06,480
Yes.

374
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:06,920
Yes.

375
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:08,160
Is that what it's called now?

376
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:08,360
Yes.

377
00:19:08,360 --> 00:19:11,280
Because we both have been looking into this because we're going to Disneyland.

378
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,520
Uh, even though it's Disneyland and not Disney world, they have it there as well.

379
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,920
I'm actually going to Disney world two days before my cruise.

380
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:25,440
So I had already thought about getting it for science just so, so I can take

381
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,440
one for the team and see what it's all about.

382
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:27,800
Yeah.

383
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:29,400
I mean, we'll probably touch on that.

384
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:34,800
Um, Disney world and just Disney is always changing.

385
00:19:36,120 --> 00:19:39,960
It's like, by the time that this comes out, Hey, it might have some kind of,

386
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:42,240
um, what do you call that?

387
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,240
Like, uh, they might do it a little differently.

388
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,800
It may not even be called lightning pass, which I would think it would be,

389
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:50,520
but you know what I mean?

390
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:51,520
They may have some extra.

391
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:55,680
It might not even be called Disney world anymore.

392
00:19:56,360 --> 00:19:59,040
They always have some kind of, you know, like, like, like,

393
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:00,840
they have some kind of like add on.

394
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,200
I'm going to say add on that you can buy to this package, you know,

395
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:08,640
which I think the top tier now it's getting you like all the rides, right?

396
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:10,360
Yes.

397
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:11,680
I think that's what I think.

398
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:16,760
So, so well, we'll have to deep dive into that, but I was actually just

399
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,760
looking at that, I think like two days ago.

400
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:25,200
It looks also have on my list, like traveling with kids, like traveling in

401
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:32,760
the world, but also like Disney with kids and why we chose to take our kids before.

402
00:20:33,360 --> 00:20:36,040
Like, you know, a lot of people say they want to wait till they're five, six,

403
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:37,440
seven, so they remember it.

404
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:38,320
It's magical.

405
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,440
But both of us, how old were your girls when you first went?

406
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:43,920
Sophia was 18 months.

407
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:44,440
They were babies.

408
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:44,640
Yeah.

409
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:45,880
Sophia was 18 months.

410
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:52,120
Um, Harper was four months old and then Mateo, we went for his first birthday.

411
00:20:52,120 --> 00:20:53,800
Um, okay.

412
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:54,600
And that's what I thought.

413
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,960
I really was 10 months old when we went, um, we went for her first birthday, but

414
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,280
we went, she was like almost 11 months old.

415
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:03,720
We went at Christmas time.

416
00:21:04,120 --> 00:21:04,640
Yeah.

417
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,080
That those, I'm telling you easiest ages.

418
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,120
Honestly, it really is.

419
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,280
But that also is on my list.

420
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:18,000
Um, is like talking about like why we chose to do that and, and how to do that.

421
00:21:18,360 --> 00:21:23,280
Um, like finding deals and discounts when traveling, that kind of thing.

422
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:24,600
Um, dining plans.

423
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:26,480
I don't know.

424
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,280
I have lots and lots and lots of ideas, but I guess we have to see if anybody

425
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:31,600
wants to listen to us first.

426
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,480
People definitely do, but they want the trauma.

427
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:35,400
I'm sorry.

428
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:36,840
The trauma will come later.

429
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,640
We need to, we need to cope from the trauma first.

430
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:41,560
Let's, let's do that first.

431
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:46,520
We need to get comfortable and then maybe we'll open up a little.

432
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:48,600
Yeah.

433
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:50,600
But okay.

434
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,600
That's going to wrap it up for the first one.

435
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:54,320
All right.

436
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,880
So do you want to hit them with the outro or do you want me to?

437
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:00,200
I can hit him with the outro.

438
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:01,880
Let's go.

439
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:02,320
Let's go.

440
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:06,240
Let's start by saying that here we didn't even talk about Derek.

441
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:06,840
Shout out to Derek.

442
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:07,960
He wrote, he wrote the outro.

443
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:09,440
Mm hmm.

444
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:15,600
He also helped with the, um, what do you call it?

445
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,120
The intro song.

446
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:17,440
Yeah.

447
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:18,440
That was there too.

448
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:19,360
Yeah.

449
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:20,080
Shout out to Derek.

450
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,320
His name, I think he came up with our name too.

451
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,120
This is the Derek podcast.

452
00:22:25,120 --> 00:22:27,200
This is the Derek podcast.

453
00:22:29,360 --> 00:22:33,360
May your flights be on time and your luggage never lost, but if it's not,

454
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:34,640
that's where the fun begins.

455
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:37,240
Bye.

456
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,280
Pack your dreams, grab your back.

457
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:52,800
Adventures call at Sig and Zach from castles tall to ocean waves.

458
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,440
Magic made for wanderers brave.

459
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:08,120
Theme parks light up the night.

460
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,920
Starry eyed and sheer delight.

461
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,440
Board the ships at sail and sea.

462
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,320
Endless tales and fantasy.

463
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,440
Chaos set carry ons.

464
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:23,200
Let's go.

465
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,800

Every flight and every ride.

Join the journey.

468
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:43,200
Come inside.

469
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,840
From Mickey ears to Dole with tree.

470
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,760
Pixie dust beneath our feet.

471
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,640
Through the lands and sea we roam.

472
00:23:55,120 --> 00:23:58,480
Feel the wonder feel at home.

473
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:02,360
From road drop to the firework show.

474
00:24:02,360 --> 00:24:05,840
Lose yourself in joyful glow.

475
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,800
Cruising waters feeling free.

476
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,600
Every twist of memory.

477
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,600
Chaos set carry ons.

478
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:17,440
Let's go.

479
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,000
Disney dreams and so you know.

480
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,280
Every flight and every ride.

481
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,480
Join the journey.

482
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:46,480
Come inside.
