00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,600
I'm Drea. I'm Meg. I'm Tina. And I'm Jess. And this is Pardon My Stash.

2
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:17,920
Welcome to Pardon My Stash, a podcast about crafting fiber arts and how awesome it is.

3
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,840
Though that was a lot. It's been a while. It has been a while.

4
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:29,360
It was a makeup. We are glad to be back. Before we dive into our topics today,

5
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:36,720
let's talk about what we're working on. Tina? Today I am working on the Hi Vis Beanie.

6
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:43,520
It is my own pattern. It is not released, but I am making the prototype for my husband.

7
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:51,600
It is about 60% done and 60% into it. I am hoping that the yarn that I'm using

8
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:58,640
plumes because I think it's too small. Oh no. But if I block it aggressively.

9
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:03,680
If you need some help, I'm very good at that. I am so good at blocking aggressively.

10
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:09,520
What yarn are you using? So, okay. So I'm using Shirsty Cat designs.

11
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:21,200
The Hi Vis Cowl I did in Highlight and Blaze in a bulky weight. And his hat I'm doing, or his beanie,

12
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:29,200
I want it to be a skull cap, like tight. And I'm doing it in DK, same colors. So the issue is,

13
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,920
how do I keep it skull cappy without making it too...

14
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:39,920
Too skull cappy. Yeah. I think it might fit just fine. And I'm overthinking it. Because again,

15
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:46,400
I'm only 60% in. So I feel like if I finish where I think I need to finish, it's going to look really

16
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:55,280
tiny because it is a ribbed beanie. And it's a fake ribbing that I do to make an impression of,

17
00:01:55,280 --> 00:02:00,720
it's like a brioche, but it's not brioche. Just so it matches the Hi Vis Cowl. But for,

18
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:06,240
if you have a construction worker in your life or someone that needs to wear a helmet while they're

19
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,800
working, you really can't have a bulky thing on your head. It has to be really thin.

20
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,200
Yeah. It's got to be pretty close. Yeah. So...

21
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,280
Ribbing always looks really tight anyway. It's true.

22
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,200
It condenses. So hopefully when it's on, it will stretch out.

23
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,840
Yeah. I think I'm overthinking it, but I was like...

24
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:30,080
Happy to help if you need aggressive blocking. Oh, wait. I didn't... Wait. I'm talking about that.

25
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:34,400
And you guys are probably like, what happened in these two months? What did you finish? Well,

26
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,560
I finished some stuff. I finished... I didn't ask that at all, but you know what?

27
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:46,800
Oh my God. I'm glad you remembered that. All right. I don't have to share.

28
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:53,360
I want to know. Okay. Because I have also forgotten in this time. Tell me, please.

29
00:02:53,360 --> 00:03:00,400
I finished my slip on your shoulder tee that I made from Blame the Knots. It was a test knit

30
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:09,280
in the size eight. And I did it in Critical Hit Dyes, Drew DK in Tequila Sunrise and Thunderwave.

31
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,760
That came out so good. It really did.

32
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:16,880
Thank you. I posted about it on my Instagram a while ago, but I will have Meg put it on

33
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:28,480
the blog post too, so you can find it there. I really enjoyed it. It fits me well. I like the colors.

34
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:35,040
It came out just like a sunset, just like I wanted it to. Literally exactly how I pictured it in my head.

35
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,000
It did the thing.

36
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:42,160
It did the thing. And I made it extra hard by making the detail one color and the body another.

37
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:43,680
So that was fun.

38
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,080
Why you do this to yourself?

39
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,520
So you can do that too, but I highly recommend you just do one color.

40
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,360
It was for the aesthetic. You do it for the aesthetic.

41
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,120
It does have an aesthetic value, but also a frustration value.

42
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,480
You're sitting there while you're doing it going, why did I choose this aesthetic?

43
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,720
And then it's done and it's like, now I know.

44
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:08,000
I just want to make this clear though. The designer does not tell you to do two colors.

45
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:15,760
She tells you to do one color. I put it on myself to do two colors. So yeah, learn from my mistakes.

46
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:21,600
Just listen to what they have to say and do one color. Anyway, so I did finish that.

47
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:27,680
So because I finished that, I was pulling out, I actually went through and cleaned out all my

48
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:32,560
project bags and was trying to find what I actually want to continue working on and what I don't.

49
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,680
So I pulled out a bunch of stuff that was like randomly in there.

50
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:41,920
And that's when I pulled out the high vis beanie. And so I pulled, so I haven't pulled this out in

51
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:47,600
probably months and I sat on my chair in the living room and my husband's sitting next to me

52
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:53,600
and he goes, Oh, because he knows it's for him. He knows that yard. And he's like, is that what I

53
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,280
think it is? And I said, yeah, it's, it's the beanie. Should have been like, no.

54
00:04:57,280 --> 00:05:02,000
Should have been like, do you like this hat for my mom? Just to throw him.

55
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:08,960
So the fun story is, he told me that he wants me to finish the beanie because he wears the high vis

56
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:17,360
cowl to work and he likes making his coworkers feel very envious of his cowl. And he's like,

57
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:23,120
I want to make my cowl and they ask about it. And they, and he always tells them that my awesome

58
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:28,720
wife made it for me. Oh, he wants to inspire jealousy. Yes. So he would like the matching

59
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:38,320
beanie so that he could say, look, now I have a beanie too. So, um, you know, love to inflate

60
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:45,520
Pat's ego, but I'm just going to make it as I have time. Um, I just wanted to do something like small

61
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:53,120
and quick. So I can, like, get a quick win in there and then go. So that was my long winded of what

62
00:05:53,120 --> 00:06:01,040
I'm doing. It's good stuff though. Congratulations on finishing a project and working on another.

63
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,080
Yes. Jess?

64
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:24,080
I am still working on the Nimue blanket. Um, yeah, I'm in the granny square stage. So that's happening slowly because I need to make 24 of them. And I've made like four, but I use different hooks for them. So I'm going to make 24 of them.

65
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:42,080
So that's happening slowly because I need to make 24 of them. And I've made like four, but I use different hooks for all of them and all the tensions are off. So I had to go back to my original hook, which I like the original hook, but I bought a new hook that I wanted to use. And it was awesome.

66
00:06:42,080 --> 00:07:06,080
But the tension is different than what I started with. So I have to find a different project for that one and go back to. So I have three that I can't use and like two that I can use. So that's on a rest. And now I'm making a dragon from the going gnome kits. I'm doing the red dragon. Um, I have deviated from their directions a little bit.

67
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:10,080
Oh, yeah, I like.

68
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:18,080
I wanted to do the wings different and the head and the legs a little bit like, but it's the right color.

69
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,080
Just Steve thought that was super.

70
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:22,080
I forgot about Steve.

71
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,080
You forgot about Steve man.

72
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:36,080
Look though, they give you these like little tiny gems to use for the little eye like sparkle so you don't have to use the white, the white you can just use this tiny. I totally lost one but they give you extra.

73
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:49,080
So, so, so yeah, and I get to stab things with my needle, which is fun to this time of year who doesn't have years. Yeah, it just kind of gets out that pent up stress all that early.

74
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:58,080
That was all that stress. Listen, listen, it's my first day like of Christmas break. Like, yeah, look, there's a lot going on. I work.

75
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:12,080
I mean, it's grocery pre Christmas tension is real. It's yeah there's a lot going on. So sometimes you just got to let stuff off. And this is also my make along project so because I'm keeping it.

76
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,080
He's almost done.

77
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:20,080
Um, yeah, that's that's that's what I'm doing right I probably have other stuff I finished some gnomes.

78
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,080
Yes.

79
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:37,080
They're super cute. And yeah, so that's that's basically what I've been doing. I'm going to start a cat sweater soon I think though, draft, as you at the table can see, I have not one, but two projects in front of.

80
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:48,080
Neither of them are this is never happens. But let me tell you story time. I was working on the one that I'm currently knitting. This is a another gennaker hat.

81
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:54,080
I'm using Malibu ego, a royal, and I can't remember the color name but it's green.

82
00:08:54,080 --> 00:09:12,080
Like a yellow green it's very pretty. It is very pretty it looks almost like grassy. Yeah, and I had cast this on because I needed a project it was kind of like a BS project you know just something to have not because I wanted it, but just to have something to do.

83
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:17,080
As you do, as I do. And then, look at this.

84
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:25,080
My size for circular needle. Yeah that really for my brim, like really just like that really broke it.

85
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:37,080
It like, look, I'll post a picture. But that's a size four and size four is commonly used for fingering and you'd use a lot of fingering so that needle probably served a good life.

86
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:54,080
Yeah, it did. And this isn't a needle that I had bought myself either this is something that I inherited from somebody else. Needless to say, I did have to get a new size four circular, and I ended up ordering it from Jimmy beans.

87
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:59,080
And I, I got.

88
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,080
It's gone.

89
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:05,080
You put it away she ordered it but it's gone.

90
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:20,080
So, and I ended up buying something that and I wish that I read the description, a little bit more carefully because I did not, and I ended up buying the lantern moon, handcrafted interchangeable needle.

91
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:35,080
And I just really liked the way that it looked and the lantern moons do look really nice, and they do look really nice and I really liked the way that it looked online, and I didn't read it.

92
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:50,080
Like I never buy wooden needles because I have a habit of sitting on them and breaking them. So I am a little worried about how long they're going to last for me, but so far, and I've already transferred the project over.

93
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:58,080
I really like it and I really enjoy the swivel cords that I got to. I've never used a swivel cord before.

94
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:09,080
It's such a game changer doesn't stop them from getting loose. So, you know how when you're working with the circular and sometimes you kind of have to like adjust it because it gets a little tangled like it starts.

95
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:21,080
Yeah, so the swivel cord never let's that happen. Oh, it just kind of eases itself. Yeah, it allows the twist to happen. That's cool.

96
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:32,080
That's a real fall. I have it with my gratitude set. Oh, it's game changing. Oh, it really is. I really enjoy it. So I'm really going to enjoy finishing this knit.

97
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:45,080
And my other project that I'm working on. I'm actually a little bit late finishing my Secret Santa for work. But I'm doing a copycat cowl by Verna Glass. It's a free pattern on Ravelry, which I really enjoy.

98
00:11:45,080 --> 00:12:03,080
And I'm using Juniper Moon Cumulus in that like natural white off white color. I'm sure it has an actual name but just natural. I lost the tag. It's leftover from when I did the back east wrap.

99
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:17,080
So it's that like nice cream off white color. And I think that he'll really enjoy that. And I'm really enjoying the pattern. I learned a new cast on. That's fun. Yes. I did not think that I was going to enjoy it.

100
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:32,080
You should have seen how much huffing and puffing I did because dear Lord, now I have to go find a crochet hook. What's the cast on? It is the Chinese waitress cast on. I've never even heard of that one. Never heard of it.

101
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:48,080
Yeah, it's a combination knit crochet cast on. It was actually quite enjoyable. And look, it gives you like this nice like little chain. Oh, that's cute. Right on the edge. I like that. Yeah. So it'll finish nicely and I enjoyed it.

102
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:59,080
I give you credit because I would have seen that and been like, eh, knitted on cast on. It is. Like I do not like doing new cast ons. I just don't. I was in a mood that day. I am not adventurous with cast ons.

103
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:13,080
It's a really pretty cast on. It is very pretty. It's very nice. It looks like it was worth it. I decided to give it a try. And what I ended up doing because in the pattern, she links you to a specific video that was really easy to follow.

104
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:35,080
And it used a crochet hook. So me, I Googled it and you can do it with just knitting needles. But it was like 10 times more hassle. Yeah. So at least the option is there. Yes. And I huffed and puffed and went fine.

105
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:52,080
Got my crochet hook and taught myself a new skill. Congrats on the new skill. And it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Good. Yes. So I enjoy that. I'm enjoying that knit. I have like two pattern repeats to do on that. And then that is done.

106
00:13:52,080 --> 00:14:02,080
And maybe he will get it before Christmas. I doubt it, but maybe you get a snarky gift and get a nice gift. They offset each other and you're all happy. Meg?

107
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:24,080
So I started knitting the Pierre sweater by Valentina Bugdanova about three weeks ago. And I've made a mistake in the yoke. So I have to go back about two rows. So that's in timeout while it thinks about what it did.

108
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:44,080
I will be taking absolutely no comments. So after like literally I've not been doing any knitting for like a week. I've been very like, but it's first day of Christmas break. Oh, I'm so sorry. You hit that. I'm so sorry. You hit that.

109
00:14:44,080 --> 00:15:01,080
No, trust me. Yeah, no, trust. It's needed. It's needed. This week was a thing. So I was like, okay, I'm going to, I'm going to try to have something to knit until I can get the wherewithal to pull back that many stitches.

110
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:06,080
So I'm knitting a Delft Cowl by Dutch Girl Creations.

111
00:15:07,780 --> 00:15:10,200
I've knitted a few test knits for Dutch Girl before.

112
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:11,680
I love doing test knits for her.

113
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,680
I love her stuff.

114
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,840
All of her, or I shouldn't say all of,

115
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,480
but most of her accessory patterns, the hats or cowls,

116
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:22,260
come in multiple weights, weight options,

117
00:15:22,260 --> 00:15:24,080
which I think is really cool.

118
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,160
Depending on what weight of yarn you have,

119
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,180
you can pretty much find almost anything,

120
00:15:28,180 --> 00:15:30,640
from DK all the way to super bulky.

121
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,440
I'm knitting this one in the bulky weight,

122
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,960
and I'm knitting it out of our yarn,

123
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,800
the Critical Hit Dyes Barbarian Bulky,

124
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:43,800
in our Almond Spritz from our Sugar and Spice collection.

125
00:15:45,100 --> 00:15:46,480
And I really like how it's knitting up.

126
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:47,320
You like it?

127
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:52,920
I picked it because the actual picture of the cowl

128
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,560
had kind of a variegated.

129
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,120
And so I'm like, okay, this is one that I think

130
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:58,560
it'll knit up kind of neat,

131
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,840
even though it's like a variegated yarn,

132
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:01,860
and you never know.

133
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:03,800
So this is my-

134
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:05,520
What's that subtle variegated?

135
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:10,120
Yeah, I needed, like Tina, I needed a quick win.

136
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,640
I need something quick and fast.

137
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:13,880
And this is my go-to.

138
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,680
An accessory in a bulky weight is my go-to

139
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,880
when I need a quick win to kind of get me back on track.

140
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:26,280
So this will probably be my Christmas vacation knitting,

141
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,480
and we'll see what happens next year.

142
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:30,320
See what happens.

143
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:31,360
Well, you said Christmas vacation again,

144
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,680
so I thought I was supposed to put it on again.

145
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:34,840
You know what, every single time.

146
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:35,680
Every single time.

147
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:36,520
Got it, got it.

148
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:37,340
Listen, listen.

149
00:16:37,340 --> 00:16:38,600
Applaud the Christmas vacation.

150
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:39,440
Gotta do it.

151
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:40,260
Oh, you said it again.

152
00:16:40,260 --> 00:16:41,100
Am I right?

153
00:16:41,100 --> 00:16:41,940
Yeah.

154
00:16:42,940 --> 00:16:46,000
Be sure to check out our website, pardonmystache.com

155
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,080

156
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,320
And if you'd like to try out the Lantern Moon Needles

157
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,680

at jimmybeanswool.com.

159
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:03,200
So I wanna take you back about, got it,

160
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:04,800
let's point like 15 years,

161
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,160
a two-way time when we all first started knitting.

162
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,280
And one of our close friends, Jackie,

163
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,180
close friend to all four of us, commented one time,

164
00:17:14,180 --> 00:17:16,600
and I forget like what provoked it,

165
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,300
but it was some post about knitting.

166
00:17:19,300 --> 00:17:21,840
And she's like, every time you guys talk about knitting,

167
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,200
I feel like you're old lady level grinding.

168
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:26,040
We are.

169
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,080
I didn't know at the time what level grinding was

170
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:29,600
because I'm the only person at this table

171
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,160
that doesn't play video games.

172
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,200
I know, I've never, listen, listen.

173
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,800
My dad was convinced that if they let us get Nintendo,

174
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,720
that we would never read again.

175
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,320
So I never played video games.

176
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,840
I'll let you know, some of the best vocabulary

177
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,560
I got in my life was Final Fantasy.

178
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:44,400
Yeah, right?

179
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:45,220
Just saying.

180
00:17:45,220 --> 00:17:47,360
Listen, back in the day, you had to read that.

181
00:17:47,360 --> 00:17:48,880
That was the rule.

182
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,240
I was not allowed to play video games.

183
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:51,360
You should see me play Mario.

184
00:17:51,360 --> 00:17:52,200
It's embarrassing.

185
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:53,960
All these kids with their voiceovers now.

186
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,800
I know, God.

187
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,040
I have no hand-eye coordination.

188
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,680
So we were talking earlier tonight

189
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,320
and talking about topics and also talking about,

190
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,400
like laughing about getting older

191
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,040
since some of us are getting to the cusp of 40

192
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,640
and some of us are over 40

193
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,320
and some of us will be 40 in a week.

194
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:16,720
Woo!

195
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:17,760
Are you really?

196
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:18,600
Yeah, she is.

197
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,520
No, I know, it's weird, right?

198
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,320
I mean, I did get you a good gift.

199
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,280
I'm an old goat?

200
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:27,560
It's over the sheep, right?

201
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:28,960
Over the hill, over the sheep.

202
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:30,040
It's the foot, no.

203
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:31,040
Okay, never mind.

204
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,320
I thought we were going old goat, but you know.

205
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:34,160
Wow!

206
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:37,600
I like goats.

207
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:38,600
I screwed up.

208
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:43,120
So tonight we're gonna be talking about getting older

209
00:18:43,120 --> 00:18:45,640
and making it fun.

210
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:46,760
Old lady level grinding.

211
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:47,920
Is it fun?

212
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,240
You know, not all aspects of it,

213
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:54,120
but I think there are definitely some pros.

214
00:18:54,120 --> 00:18:56,160
Sure was funny you guys earlier.

215
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:58,600
Look.

216
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,080
I'll tell my own story.

217
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:04,880
I'm not embarrassed.

218
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,040
No one was jumping in.

219
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,160
I'm not embarrassed.

220
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:13,160
So we, you know, we haven't met to record in a hot minute

221
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:18,160
and I brought over some delicious,

222
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:19,000
I'm gonna say it right.

223
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:19,840
How are you?

224
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:21,680
Macarons.

225
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:22,520
Very good.

226
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:23,360
Okay.

227
00:19:23,360 --> 00:19:24,200
I'm proud of you.

228
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:25,040
They were really good.

229
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:25,880
Yeah, they were delicious.

230
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:26,720
They were very delicious.

231
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:27,560
Very good.

232
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,600
But we were all stumped on what their flavors could be.

233
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,600
We were all guessing and the label was somewhat descriptive.

234
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,120
To be fair, it should have been on the label.

235
00:19:37,120 --> 00:19:37,960
It should have been on the label.

236
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,160
Like they should, every sort of like multi-pack of pastry

237
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:45,000
or anything should have a discernible label.

238
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:50,000
So the ingredients had like some names and some like labeling,

239
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,280
but you had to like read through the entire ingredients list

240
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,800
to see like what the cookies were flavored as.

241
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,640
And anyways, there was one that was suspicious

242
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,200
and we could not figure out.

243
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:01,040
It was very good.

244
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:01,880
Oh yeah, it was delicious.

245
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:03,720
I still think it had fig in it.

246
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,560
I still think it had citrus.

247
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:06,400
Maybe it was citrus and fig.

248
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,240
I did not taste any citrus.

249
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:09,080
Anyways, see,

250
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,480
it's still a mystery.

251
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:12,320
Anyways, so.

252
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:13,480
The world may never know.

253
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,440
We all tried to use the internet.

254
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,520
We tried to use Chetch EBT.

255
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,360
Look, we exhausted all avenues.

256
00:20:19,360 --> 00:20:20,200
All options.

257
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:21,040
Of information.

258
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:26,040
And my smart butt thought that it would make sense

259
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:32,040
to call the grocery store to ask them

260
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,000
what the flavors were of this.

261
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,400
It said it was like a winter collection

262
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:41,240
or something like that.

263
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:42,480
So I said, okay, you know what?

264
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:43,300
I'm just gonna call.

265
00:20:43,300 --> 00:20:44,140
I'm just gonna call.

266
00:20:44,140 --> 00:20:44,980
I will call the bakery.

267
00:20:44,980 --> 00:20:47,720
I'm just gonna let you know that it is the evening

268
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,720
right now when we record.

269
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:52,200
The bakery is closed.

270
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:53,680
The bakery is definitely closing.

271
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,240
Or closing, yeah.

272
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,960
So, you know, it rang and very,

273
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:00,160
someone picks up the phone.

274
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,960
She goes, hi, how can I help you?

275
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,480
And as the words are leaving my mouth,

276
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,720
I realize I'm making a terrible mistake.

277
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:11,200
And I said, hello.

278
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,640
I was just in your store

279
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:19,640
and I bought this six pack of macarons.

280
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,160
And they're called the winter collection,

281
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,520
but what are the flavors?

282
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:26,920
Because it's not on the package.

283
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,160
It's not on the package.

284
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:30,680
And she took a pause.

285
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:35,680
She did, hold on.

286
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:37,720
And I said, yep, no problem.

287
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,040
And then I hung up the phone

288
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:44,040
because I realized that I have become the old lady

289
00:21:44,580 --> 00:21:47,240
that calls the store with questions

290
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,420
that should not be answered in the evening hours

291
00:21:50,420 --> 00:21:51,720
when the bakery is closing.

292
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:56,720
And I just want to apologize on behalf of myself to-

293
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:01,720
It would be funny if this person does this.

294
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,800
If you were working and picked up that phone,

295
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:05,960
I am so sorry.

296
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:08,000
But here's the thing,

297
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:12,280
not a single one of us said, don't do that.

298
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,640
No, until the words came out of our mouth,

299
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:15,480
then we all were like, wait a second.

300
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,240
No matter what we were thinking,

301
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,560
we all were just kinda like, you know what, all right.

302
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:20,920
Wait, are you calling?

303
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:22,760
Yes, that happens.

304
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:23,580
Don't do that.

305
00:22:23,580 --> 00:22:24,420
That happened.

306
00:22:24,420 --> 00:22:25,480
And it was, you know.

307
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:29,820
Look, we have four neurodivergent people at this table

308
00:22:29,820 --> 00:22:31,060
and we needed to know.

309
00:22:31,060 --> 00:22:32,540
I hyper-focused, guys.

310
00:22:32,540 --> 00:22:34,260
You didn't save me.

311
00:22:34,260 --> 00:22:35,100
No.

312
00:22:35,100 --> 00:22:36,740
A neurotypical picked up the phone.

313
00:22:36,740 --> 00:22:37,580
Okay, but to be-

314
00:22:37,580 --> 00:22:38,940
Listen, I was just impressed you called.

315
00:22:38,940 --> 00:22:43,540
To be fair, I'm literally at the point with Jess

316
00:22:43,540 --> 00:22:47,220
where if I see the look on her face,

317
00:22:47,220 --> 00:22:49,420
I'm like, you know what, just go do it.

318
00:22:49,420 --> 00:22:50,260
I don't even-

319
00:22:50,260 --> 00:22:53,600
I can tell from the expression

320
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,780
that nothing is getting done

321
00:22:55,780 --> 00:22:57,860
until you do what you're thinking about.

322
00:22:57,860 --> 00:22:59,740
I can see it in your eyes.

323
00:22:59,740 --> 00:23:02,340
So even if it's gonna take you two hours

324
00:23:02,340 --> 00:23:05,700
and it is nine o'clock at night, just go.

325
00:23:05,700 --> 00:23:06,780
Just go.

326
00:23:06,780 --> 00:23:07,860
I'm gonna go to bed.

327
00:23:07,860 --> 00:23:10,060
I'll see you in the morning.

328
00:23:10,060 --> 00:23:14,180
So when she gets into that hyper-fixation area,

329
00:23:14,180 --> 00:23:16,060
I'm just like, just go.

330
00:23:16,060 --> 00:23:16,900
It's fine.

331
00:23:16,900 --> 00:23:17,740
It'll be fine.

332
00:23:17,740 --> 00:23:19,800
I would just like to know how many experience points

333
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,340
I gained from doing that action on my old lady-

334
00:23:22,340 --> 00:23:23,860
Calling the bakery-

335
00:23:23,860 --> 00:23:24,700
You actually called.

336
00:23:24,700 --> 00:23:27,100
To ask a question about the product.

337
00:23:27,100 --> 00:23:30,300
I don't know, I feel like that's at least like 2,000.

338
00:23:30,300 --> 00:23:31,140
No, no, no.

339
00:23:31,140 --> 00:23:31,980
Of lady-level grind points.

340
00:23:31,980 --> 00:23:34,620
I feel like you get points

341
00:23:34,620 --> 00:23:36,740
for being an adult and making a phone call.

342
00:23:36,740 --> 00:23:37,580
Yeah.

343
00:23:37,580 --> 00:23:38,420
Oh, thank you.

344
00:23:38,420 --> 00:23:39,260
That's a good point.

345
00:23:39,260 --> 00:23:42,340
But you lose points for being an inconvenience.

346
00:23:42,340 --> 00:23:44,580
Well, okay, somebody else.

347
00:23:44,580 --> 00:23:48,300
So, but we're old lady-level grinding.

348
00:23:48,300 --> 00:23:52,220
So I would decrease points by making a phone call.

349
00:23:52,220 --> 00:23:53,100
Like an adult.

350
00:23:53,100 --> 00:23:54,100
Yes.

351
00:23:54,100 --> 00:23:59,100
Increase points for calling about a very Medusa detail

352
00:23:59,260 --> 00:24:01,860
to a chain grocery store.

353
00:24:01,860 --> 00:24:02,700
I don't know.

354
00:24:02,700 --> 00:24:03,520
I feel like it's a wash though,

355
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,020
because like the youths don't make phone calls.

356
00:24:06,020 --> 00:24:06,860
That's true.

357
00:24:06,860 --> 00:24:07,700
At all.

358
00:24:07,700 --> 00:24:08,720
I picked up that phone.

359
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:09,560
I dialed the number.

360
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:10,380
Well, we used to.

361
00:24:10,380 --> 00:24:11,220
You did.

362
00:24:11,220 --> 00:24:12,060
I did.

363
00:24:12,060 --> 00:24:12,900
You did.

364
00:24:12,900 --> 00:24:14,500
But a true youth would try to FaceTime.

365
00:24:14,500 --> 00:24:15,460
What do you mean a true youth?

366
00:24:15,460 --> 00:24:17,140
What are you talking about, Willis?

367
00:24:17,140 --> 00:24:19,860
A true youth would try to FaceTime.

368
00:24:19,860 --> 00:24:20,700
Right.

369
00:24:20,700 --> 00:24:22,900
As my kids do. FaceTime the groceries.

370
00:24:22,900 --> 00:24:23,740
Yes.

371
00:24:23,740 --> 00:24:25,380
Listen.

372
00:24:25,380 --> 00:24:26,220
Listen.

373
00:24:26,220 --> 00:24:28,060
Everyone's doing the FaceTime now.

374
00:24:28,060 --> 00:24:30,140
My kids will literally FaceTime each other,

375
00:24:30,140 --> 00:24:32,300
and then they'll put the phone on the desk.

376
00:24:32,300 --> 00:24:34,540
Yo, no one's picking up at Stone Shop.

377
00:24:34,540 --> 00:24:35,380
What the hell?

378
00:24:35,380 --> 00:24:38,540
Oh God.

379
00:24:38,540 --> 00:24:41,020
Yeah, that's definitely an old lady-level grind moment.

380
00:24:41,020 --> 00:24:41,860
Okay.

381
00:24:41,860 --> 00:24:42,680
Definitely.

382
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:43,520
Sounds like a wash.

383
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:44,360
So, God.

384
00:24:44,360 --> 00:24:48,540
I'll just stay at my lack of gaining.

385
00:24:48,540 --> 00:24:50,480
Anyone else earn any points lately?

386
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:51,460
I did.

387
00:24:51,460 --> 00:24:52,300
Okay.

388
00:24:52,300 --> 00:24:53,140
Very recently.

389
00:24:53,140 --> 00:24:53,960
All right.

390
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,140
This past week, my work had our annual

391
00:24:58,220 --> 00:25:00,540
office Christmas dinner.

392
00:25:00,540 --> 00:25:02,420
After work.

393
00:25:02,420 --> 00:25:03,260
Okay.

394
00:25:03,260 --> 00:25:04,100
Okay.

395
00:25:04,100 --> 00:25:05,220
I did attend.

396
00:25:05,220 --> 00:25:06,220
Good job.

397
00:25:06,220 --> 00:25:07,580
Yes, I know.

398
00:25:07,580 --> 00:25:09,220
Like. Good job.

399
00:25:09,220 --> 00:25:11,300
Adulting points for going out and not saying,

400
00:25:11,300 --> 00:25:12,900
yeah, I'm not gonna do that going home.

401
00:25:12,900 --> 00:25:13,720
Yes.

402
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:14,560
Adulting points.

403
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,220
Adulting points for doing that.

404
00:25:16,220 --> 00:25:17,300
It was after work.

405
00:25:17,300 --> 00:25:18,200
It was dark.

406
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:19,460
It was raining.

407
00:25:19,460 --> 00:25:20,300
I don't do any of that.

408
00:25:20,300 --> 00:25:21,140
I know.

409
00:25:21,140 --> 00:25:21,980
It was terrible.

410
00:25:21,980 --> 00:25:22,800
No, applaud.

411
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:23,640
You still win.

412
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:24,460
I still win.

413
00:25:24,460 --> 00:25:25,800
I'm very proud of myself.

414
00:25:27,580 --> 00:25:28,980
I was sociable.

415
00:25:28,980 --> 00:25:30,140
Wow.

416
00:25:30,140 --> 00:25:31,800
I did not have any knitting with me,

417
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,140
which was almost a hard pass.

418
00:25:35,140 --> 00:25:35,980
Wow.

419
00:25:35,980 --> 00:25:37,140
I'm like, I'm really, yeah.

420
00:25:37,140 --> 00:25:40,060
Like you're gaining a lot of points right now.

421
00:25:40,060 --> 00:25:41,700
Ready for me to lose some points?

422
00:25:41,700 --> 00:25:43,060
You're gonna lose them all right now?

423
00:25:43,060 --> 00:25:45,300
At 8.30, my pill reminder went off

424
00:25:45,300 --> 00:25:47,300
and everybody at the table was like,

425
00:25:47,300 --> 00:25:48,540
whose phone is that?

426
00:25:48,540 --> 00:25:49,380
What is that?

427
00:25:49,380 --> 00:25:50,740
And I'm like, oh, sorry.

428
00:25:51,620 --> 00:25:53,220
Just gotta take my meds.

429
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:58,460
Except I didn't have them with me

430
00:25:58,460 --> 00:26:00,420
and I accidentally snoozed the alarm

431
00:26:00,420 --> 00:26:02,420
so it went off again nine minutes later.

432
00:26:03,860 --> 00:26:04,700
Nice.

433
00:26:04,700 --> 00:26:05,960
Whoops.

434
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:07,940
I got to bed so late that night.

435
00:26:07,940 --> 00:26:08,780
Oh.

436
00:26:10,060 --> 00:26:11,940
Like nine o'clock came around

437
00:26:11,940 --> 00:26:15,300
and man, I was sleeping at the table.

438
00:26:15,300 --> 00:26:17,340
I mean, I think anybody that takes

439
00:26:17,340 --> 00:26:19,700
a late night medication can,

440
00:26:19,700 --> 00:26:24,700
like before bed medication can appreciate the struggle.

441
00:26:25,140 --> 00:26:28,700
Even without the meds that make me sleepy,

442
00:26:28,700 --> 00:26:30,220
I'm still sleepy at that time.

443
00:26:30,220 --> 00:26:31,220
I mean, same.

444
00:26:31,220 --> 00:26:32,060
Yeah.

445
00:26:32,060 --> 00:26:33,440
But I get up at 5.30 so.

446
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,620
How are you level grinding Meg?

447
00:26:35,620 --> 00:26:36,860
I have bursitis.

448
00:26:36,860 --> 00:26:37,860
Congratulations.

449
00:26:37,860 --> 00:26:42,820
It's not funny, but it's awful

450
00:26:42,820 --> 00:26:44,380
and it is just a part of my life.

451
00:26:44,380 --> 00:26:45,620
It was just a waste.

452
00:26:45,620 --> 00:26:46,780
It's just a part of my life now.

453
00:26:46,780 --> 00:26:47,780
It's just so dead, man.

454
00:26:47,780 --> 00:26:48,620
I have bursitis.

455
00:26:48,620 --> 00:26:49,440
I do.

456
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,140
And you know what the worst part is?

457
00:26:52,140 --> 00:26:55,100
So I have it because of a car accident I got in

458
00:26:55,100 --> 00:26:57,280
when I was 21 and I broke my pelvis

459
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,300
and because ever since then I kind of,

460
00:26:59,300 --> 00:27:02,040
I don't realize it, but I walk kind of funny.

461
00:27:03,300 --> 00:27:04,940
Not funny like you can see it,

462
00:27:04,940 --> 00:27:08,980
but because of the weight I put, I overcompensate.

463
00:27:08,980 --> 00:27:11,540
So I have it literally through both hips at this point.

464
00:27:11,540 --> 00:27:14,120
It used to just be one, now it's both.

465
00:27:14,120 --> 00:27:15,780
And the worst part is, is that every time

466
00:27:15,780 --> 00:27:17,500
that I'm like in pain,

467
00:27:17,500 --> 00:27:19,080
this is gonna make her sound so cruel,

468
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,620
but every time I'm like, oh, my bursitis is flaring up,

469
00:27:21,620 --> 00:27:26,140
Jess starts laughing off because of the old,

470
00:27:26,140 --> 00:27:28,620
jack to where they're hiding in the bushes

471
00:27:28,620 --> 00:27:31,020
and they're blowing an air horn at a golf course.

472
00:27:31,020 --> 00:27:32,260
And when the guy comes over, he's like,

473
00:27:32,260 --> 00:27:33,620
I'm sorry, I have bursitis.

474
00:27:33,620 --> 00:27:36,460
So she's like, I can't help it.

475
00:27:36,460 --> 00:27:38,900
She's like, do you think you can do an air horn?

476
00:27:38,900 --> 00:27:40,080
She's so much.

477
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:41,900
So much.

478
00:27:41,900 --> 00:27:44,740
Like literally.

479
00:27:44,740 --> 00:27:46,060
It's so funny, it makes no sense.

480
00:27:46,060 --> 00:27:48,020
No, but it's so like, I'll literally be sitting there.

481
00:27:48,020 --> 00:27:50,940
And it always really, it's been really bad lately

482
00:27:50,940 --> 00:27:53,080
because it flares up when it gets really cold

483
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,300
and it flares up when it rains.

484
00:27:55,300 --> 00:27:58,460
And also when the pressure changes really bad.

485
00:27:58,460 --> 00:28:00,620
And so last weekend, it was like literally

486
00:28:00,620 --> 00:28:02,380
all three of those things happened.

487
00:28:02,380 --> 00:28:06,460
And I was like, oh my God, like I was having trouble walking.

488
00:28:06,460 --> 00:28:08,640
Does that mean that you did your crafting?

489
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:09,760
No, I didn't.

490
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,500
I just did a lot of Tylenol.

491
00:28:11,500 --> 00:28:15,300
And I was like, okay, like I feel better.

492
00:28:15,300 --> 00:28:18,380
Cause I looked at the barometric pressure was ridiculous.

493
00:28:18,380 --> 00:28:20,420
And I go to Jess, I'm like, okay, I feel a little better.

494
00:28:20,420 --> 00:28:22,240
Like, cause I'm sitting here thinking, oh my God,

495
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:23,080
like what's wrong with me?

496
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:24,220
I'm falling apart.

497
00:28:24,220 --> 00:28:26,780
And I'm like, no, it's just the pressure.

498
00:28:26,780 --> 00:28:27,620
It's my bursitis.

499
00:28:27,620 --> 00:28:30,020
And she's like, I'm like, I hate you.

500
00:28:30,020 --> 00:28:33,420
I can't help it, that's all I think about.

501
00:28:33,420 --> 00:28:36,460
If it helps, I sneeze and blow my back out routinely.

502
00:28:36,460 --> 00:28:39,300
Wow.

503
00:28:42,300 --> 00:28:45,300
It's all the things you have to look forward to.

504
00:28:45,300 --> 00:28:48,260
It gives me more knitting time, okay.

505
00:28:48,260 --> 00:28:51,340
Sneeze, blow back out, well picks up the needle.

506
00:28:51,340 --> 00:28:52,540
Well, I can't live.

507
00:28:55,500 --> 00:28:57,180
I never knew.

508
00:28:57,180 --> 00:28:58,220
Oh God.

509
00:28:58,220 --> 00:28:59,540
That it is.

510
00:28:59,540 --> 00:29:01,420
Routinely guys, routinely.

511
00:29:01,420 --> 00:29:03,940
Oh God, it's fun getting old.

512
00:29:03,940 --> 00:29:04,840
I don't know, man.

513
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,740
Like me and my coworkers were talking about taxes.

514
00:29:07,740 --> 00:29:08,580
Like.

515
00:29:08,580 --> 00:29:12,580
It's a stellar conversation we're having right now.

516
00:29:12,580 --> 00:29:14,220
I know, right?

517
00:29:16,460 --> 00:29:17,780
Oh God, mortgages.

518
00:29:21,540 --> 00:29:22,380
What's your mortgage rate?

519
00:29:22,380 --> 00:29:23,740
What's your mortgage rate?

520
00:29:23,740 --> 00:29:24,580
Oh my God.

521
00:29:24,580 --> 00:29:26,760
My joints creak when I stand up.

522
00:29:28,140 --> 00:29:30,140
Sometimes I get stuck, like, you know,

523
00:29:30,140 --> 00:29:32,460
when I'm hanging tags, my knees refuse

524
00:29:32,460 --> 00:29:33,780
to let me stand up again.

525
00:29:33,780 --> 00:29:34,720
So that's fun.

526
00:29:35,820 --> 00:29:37,700
That's a good, like, is anybody around?

527
00:29:37,700 --> 00:29:41,140
Good, I'm gonna like slowly work my way up.

528
00:29:41,140 --> 00:29:42,460
Oh my God, I do the same thing.

529
00:29:42,460 --> 00:29:43,940
Just like how to crab walk your way up.

530
00:29:43,940 --> 00:29:45,980
Just a little bit, until I can get to a part of the shelf

531
00:29:45,980 --> 00:29:49,060
that I can kind of like rest on as I like work my way up.

532
00:29:49,060 --> 00:29:50,500
I'm like, oh, looking up and down the aisle,

533
00:29:50,500 --> 00:29:51,660
like, is anyone okay?

534
00:29:51,660 --> 00:29:53,900
Like, we're gonna do this as grace.

535
00:29:53,900 --> 00:29:55,060
And when people are walking, I'm like,

536
00:29:55,060 --> 00:29:56,860
no, I'm graceful, I'm young still.

537
00:29:56,860 --> 00:29:59,340
And then they leave and I'm like, oh God.

538
00:29:59,340 --> 00:30:01,380
Jess, my favorite thing is that there are cameras

539
00:30:01,380 --> 00:30:02,220
in that store.

540
00:30:02,220 --> 00:30:05,300
Someone's watching you do the crab walk down the aisle.

541
00:30:05,300 --> 00:30:07,580
No, but I know what, like, they would actually have

542
00:30:07,580 --> 00:30:10,020
to go back through the cameras and be looking for someone

543
00:30:10,020 --> 00:30:12,980
because the cameras that they have on all the time,

544
00:30:12,980 --> 00:30:14,200
I know where those are.

545
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,100
So I don't do embarrassing things in front of those cameras.

546
00:30:16,100 --> 00:30:18,540
She doesn't do the crab walk under those cameras.

547
00:30:18,540 --> 00:30:19,740
It would just be really funny

548
00:30:19,740 --> 00:30:21,180
if they were looking for a shoplifter.

549
00:30:21,180 --> 00:30:22,420
If they're looking for a shoplifter,

550
00:30:22,420 --> 00:30:25,740
they'll probably get like run into one at some point.

551
00:30:25,740 --> 00:30:28,580
Don't be suspicious, don't be suspicious.

552
00:30:28,580 --> 00:30:29,420
Yeah.

553
00:30:31,420 --> 00:30:33,380
Yep, not hiding anything.

554
00:30:33,380 --> 00:30:35,660
No guys, I'm still spry.

555
00:30:36,620 --> 00:30:37,460
God.

556
00:30:37,460 --> 00:30:40,540
Guys, if I could go two weeks without a doctor's appointment.

557
00:30:40,540 --> 00:30:43,140
Oh God, yeah, those.

558
00:30:43,140 --> 00:30:46,380
If I could go two days without my hands cramping

559
00:30:46,380 --> 00:30:49,380
from knitting and only mild knitting,

560
00:30:49,380 --> 00:30:50,220
that would be fantastic.

561
00:30:50,220 --> 00:30:51,060
Any guy you're talking to,

562
00:30:51,060 --> 00:30:53,300
are you taking your multivitamins?

563
00:30:53,300 --> 00:30:55,980
I tell you what, I can show you some hand exercises

564
00:30:55,980 --> 00:30:57,420
to stretch those tendons.

565
00:30:57,420 --> 00:31:02,180
So that's another fun thing is my autoimmune.

566
00:31:02,180 --> 00:31:04,740
I am not supposed to stretch too much

567
00:31:04,740 --> 00:31:06,900
because I am hypermobile.

568
00:31:06,900 --> 00:31:09,820
You are a lost cause, congratulations.

569
00:31:09,820 --> 00:31:11,580
So when I'm doing like,

570
00:31:11,580 --> 00:31:14,660
I'm trying to like release like cramps and stuff like that,

571
00:31:14,660 --> 00:31:17,460
I'm doing a lot of massaging because I literally,

572
00:31:18,340 --> 00:31:21,020
like they advise me don't stretch too much

573
00:31:21,020 --> 00:31:22,180
because I'm over-

574
00:31:22,180 --> 00:31:26,180
Because you can pop your joints in a wrong way.

575
00:31:26,180 --> 00:31:28,780
Me too, yay.

576
00:31:28,780 --> 00:31:31,180
It's like my knuckles can crack just by bending them.

577
00:31:31,180 --> 00:31:32,620
So I have nothing left to teach you.

578
00:31:32,620 --> 00:31:35,980
So this is what I end up doing is I'll just,

579
00:31:35,980 --> 00:31:38,060
with this one, my left one starts cramping.

580
00:31:38,060 --> 00:31:40,500
I just kind of hold it to the boob and I just,

581
00:31:40,500 --> 00:31:41,340
oh my God.

582
00:31:41,340 --> 00:31:42,300
Like you're good, you're good.

583
00:31:42,300 --> 00:31:43,140
I just-

584
00:31:43,140 --> 00:31:45,940
I wish there was a video right here to show this sick.

585
00:31:45,940 --> 00:31:50,940
It's basically a rolling in the fishing line on your chest

586
00:31:51,220 --> 00:31:52,900
because that's all I can do.

587
00:31:52,900 --> 00:31:53,740
Oh my God.

588
00:31:53,740 --> 00:31:56,340
We're gonna do a video.

589
00:31:56,340 --> 00:31:58,060
How are you knitting?

590
00:31:58,060 --> 00:32:00,220
When you're not putting this on the internet.

591
00:32:00,220 --> 00:32:03,020
What if other people need it for help?

592
00:32:03,020 --> 00:32:04,100
All right, all right, all right.

593
00:32:04,100 --> 00:32:07,700
So we've discussed the not so savory parts

594
00:32:07,700 --> 00:32:08,940
of old lady level grinding.

595
00:32:08,940 --> 00:32:10,020
Let's talk about some good things

596
00:32:10,020 --> 00:32:11,420
about old lady level grinding.

597
00:32:11,420 --> 00:32:13,220
Ooh, I don't care about anything.

598
00:32:13,220 --> 00:32:14,060
I mean-

599
00:32:14,060 --> 00:32:18,180
Absolutely nothing.

600
00:32:18,180 --> 00:32:19,020
No, no.

601
00:32:19,020 --> 00:32:20,220
Not a care in the world.

602
00:32:20,220 --> 00:32:23,180
No, like, like I truly like, you know what?

603
00:32:23,180 --> 00:32:24,220
I'm gonna go to the store.

604
00:32:24,220 --> 00:32:25,540
I don't care if I'm wearing makeup.

605
00:32:25,540 --> 00:32:27,020
I don't care what clothes I got on.

606
00:32:27,020 --> 00:32:27,980
I don't care.

607
00:32:27,980 --> 00:32:29,540
Like, you know, I'm good.

608
00:32:29,540 --> 00:32:30,380
I could give a-

609
00:32:30,380 --> 00:32:32,140
Oh, that guy is looking at me.

610
00:32:32,140 --> 00:32:32,960
Cool.

611
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:33,800
I'm gonna keep going.

612
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:35,660
I literally don't care.

613
00:32:35,660 --> 00:32:38,180
The lack, the like, I almost had lack of self-awareness

614
00:32:38,180 --> 00:32:39,060
and that's not what I meant.

615
00:32:39,060 --> 00:32:41,560
It's more the like, you have a lot of self-awareness.

616
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:43,900
It's just the like, the realization

617
00:32:43,900 --> 00:32:46,660
that nobody else cares either.

618
00:32:46,660 --> 00:32:47,500
No.

619
00:32:47,500 --> 00:32:48,900
Like nobody else is really like,

620
00:32:48,900 --> 00:32:50,180
if they may think something,

621
00:32:50,180 --> 00:32:52,620
but it's gonna be about two seconds on their radar,

622
00:32:52,620 --> 00:32:54,100
they're gonna move on with their lives

623
00:32:54,100 --> 00:32:57,260
if they think about you at all, which they probably won't.

624
00:32:57,260 --> 00:32:58,980
Instead of the obsessive like,

625
00:32:58,980 --> 00:33:00,500
oh my God, I have a zit on my face.

626
00:33:00,500 --> 00:33:01,660
Everyone is staring at me.

627
00:33:01,660 --> 00:33:03,080
Everyone is wondering what's wrong with me.

628
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:04,380
Like, oh my God, cover it up.

629
00:33:04,380 --> 00:33:05,700
Like, you do.

630
00:33:05,700 --> 00:33:06,540
You just stop caring.

631
00:33:06,540 --> 00:33:08,940
I'm walking out with my zit dot cover.

632
00:33:08,940 --> 00:33:09,780
Yeah.

633
00:33:09,780 --> 00:33:10,600
To the gross.

634
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,220
No, you just don't care anymore.

635
00:33:12,220 --> 00:33:13,060
Just don't care anymore.

636
00:33:13,060 --> 00:33:15,500
Yeah, it's, I think it's just that realization

637
00:33:15,500 --> 00:33:19,060
and the acceptance of like, nobody else cares either.

638
00:33:19,060 --> 00:33:21,920
This is not a major point in anybody's day.

639
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:23,580
You know what, honestly, I had the same discussion

640
00:33:23,580 --> 00:33:24,820
with Jess the other day where like,

641
00:33:24,820 --> 00:33:28,900
I used to, especially with family.

642
00:33:28,900 --> 00:33:30,820
Like if I thought a family member was upset with me,

643
00:33:30,820 --> 00:33:32,500
I would obsess.

644
00:33:32,500 --> 00:33:33,340
Yeah, no, I hear you.

645
00:33:33,340 --> 00:33:34,500
Like, I mean, I mean, deep obsession.

646
00:33:34,500 --> 00:33:36,100
And the other day, like,

647
00:33:36,100 --> 00:33:38,580
I thought a family member was upset with me.

648
00:33:38,580 --> 00:33:41,380
And I, like one minute, and then I was like,

649
00:33:41,380 --> 00:33:44,260
you know what, I didn't do anything wrong.

650
00:33:44,260 --> 00:33:45,820
And if they're upset with me, they can tell me.

651
00:33:45,820 --> 00:33:47,180
That's their problem.

652
00:33:47,180 --> 00:33:48,760
And if they don't wanna tell me,

653
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:50,540
then that is their problem.

654
00:33:50,540 --> 00:33:55,260
Like, I am absolutely not, I did not do anything wrong.

655
00:33:55,260 --> 00:33:57,020
If they're upset, they're upset.

656
00:33:57,020 --> 00:33:58,860
And I'm gonna move on with my day.

657
00:33:58,860 --> 00:34:02,660
And I was like, wow, for me, that is massive growth.

658
00:34:02,660 --> 00:34:03,500
That's huge.

659
00:34:03,500 --> 00:34:05,100
I was very proud.

660
00:34:05,100 --> 00:34:06,140
Massive growth.

661
00:34:06,140 --> 00:34:06,980
Good job.

662
00:34:06,980 --> 00:34:09,820
Because I'm the queen of obsession.

663
00:34:09,820 --> 00:34:13,380
And yeah, it's kind of like, I don't know.

664
00:34:13,380 --> 00:34:15,060
Was it just very, somebody said something

665
00:34:15,060 --> 00:34:16,580
that is so morbid, but it's like,

666
00:34:16,580 --> 00:34:19,360
a hundred years from now, none of this is gonna matter.

667
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:20,200
No.

668
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:21,380
None of this is gonna matter.

669
00:34:21,380 --> 00:34:23,060
Well, I do. It's so true.

670
00:34:23,060 --> 00:34:26,440
I do hope one day an alien picks up our podcast.

671
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,860
And I'll be like, so welcome to class, everybody.

672
00:34:29,860 --> 00:34:34,860
We're gonna learn what fiber artists did in the 2020s.

673
00:34:35,460 --> 00:34:37,940
But it's like, a hundred years from now,

674
00:34:37,940 --> 00:34:39,740
I will not need to worry about any of this.

675
00:34:39,740 --> 00:34:40,580
No. No.

676
00:34:40,580 --> 00:34:43,020
Because I don't think I'm gonna be 141 years old.

677
00:34:43,020 --> 00:34:44,260
So. No.

678
00:34:44,260 --> 00:34:45,100
No, probably not.

679
00:34:45,100 --> 00:34:46,100
No. Yeah.

680
00:34:46,100 --> 00:34:46,920
Listen.

681
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:47,760
I don't wanna know.

682
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:49,340
If I'm 141 years old, I promise you,

683
00:34:49,340 --> 00:34:52,500
these hips will not still be around at all.

684
00:34:52,500 --> 00:34:53,500
They're already falling apart.

685
00:34:53,500 --> 00:34:55,620
Maybe you'll have titanium ones instead.

686
00:34:55,620 --> 00:34:56,460
Oh God, I hope not.

687
00:34:56,460 --> 00:34:58,620
Ooh, cyborg. You could be like Robocop.

688
00:34:58,620 --> 00:35:00,500
That would be wild.

689
00:35:00,500 --> 00:35:01,340
Robomig.

690
00:35:02,620 --> 00:35:05,660
But still, the point stands,

691
00:35:05,660 --> 00:35:07,260
when you kind of look at it in that vein,

692
00:35:07,260 --> 00:35:09,460
like, oh my God, am I gonna sit here

693
00:35:09,460 --> 00:35:12,680
and let a comment or a look

694
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,860
that I may completely also be misinterpreting?

695
00:35:15,860 --> 00:35:16,700
Yeah.

696
00:35:16,700 --> 00:35:18,540
And I've gotten much better at that, too.

697
00:35:18,540 --> 00:35:21,300
Taking a step back and being like, you know what?

698
00:35:22,860 --> 00:35:27,860
Everybody's reactions are not all reacting to me.

699
00:35:27,860 --> 00:35:28,700
Yeah.

700
00:35:28,700 --> 00:35:30,260
If somebody frowns, it's not because I did something

701
00:35:30,260 --> 00:35:31,100
that made them mad.

702
00:35:31,100 --> 00:35:32,060
Maybe they had a thought.

703
00:35:32,060 --> 00:35:34,100
Maybe they, it's something totally different.

704
00:35:34,100 --> 00:35:36,360
Maybe their face is just falling for a second

705
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,580
before they realize, oh wait.

706
00:35:38,580 --> 00:35:39,420
Yeah.

707
00:35:39,420 --> 00:35:41,220
And like how many times a day do I do that

708
00:35:41,220 --> 00:35:42,460
and not realize it?

709
00:35:42,460 --> 00:35:44,100
So it is, and it's-

710
00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:45,420
Do you know how many times a day

711
00:35:45,420 --> 00:35:48,260
I'm not paying attention to whatever is going on around me

712
00:35:48,260 --> 00:35:51,220
and I'm just like glaring at something?

713
00:35:51,220 --> 00:35:52,060
I've got like,

714
00:35:52,060 --> 00:35:54,940
I've got like that movie in my mind,

715
00:35:54,940 --> 00:35:56,220
often Daydreamland,

716
00:35:56,220 --> 00:35:59,100
and then like something unsavory happens in the daydream

717
00:35:59,100 --> 00:36:00,380
and I'm like, ooh.

718
00:36:00,380 --> 00:36:01,780
And somebody's like, why are you mad?

719
00:36:01,780 --> 00:36:02,740
Yeah.

720
00:36:02,740 --> 00:36:03,700
Like, what did I say?

721
00:36:03,700 --> 00:36:04,540
Yes.

722
00:36:04,540 --> 00:36:05,740
Yeah, but that's the thing.

723
00:36:05,740 --> 00:36:07,020
And I think a lot of like,

724
00:36:07,020 --> 00:36:08,260
going back to what you said, Tina,

725
00:36:08,260 --> 00:36:11,620
the idea that like everybody around me

726
00:36:11,620 --> 00:36:13,660
is caring a whole lot less

727
00:36:13,660 --> 00:36:16,780
than I perceive they are caring.

728
00:36:16,780 --> 00:36:19,700
And it's not like, I say, I don't care about anything.

729
00:36:19,700 --> 00:36:22,580
I mean, I care about the right things.

730
00:36:22,580 --> 00:36:23,420
Sure.

731
00:36:23,420 --> 00:36:24,260
Yeah.

732
00:36:24,260 --> 00:36:26,460
But I don't have the brain space to care about

733
00:36:26,460 --> 00:36:29,660
the lady at the pharmacy that might have looked at me funny.

734
00:36:29,660 --> 00:36:30,500
Yeah.

735
00:36:30,500 --> 00:36:32,100
Like I don't have the space for that today,

736
00:36:32,100 --> 00:36:32,980
or ever.

737
00:36:32,980 --> 00:36:35,500
I mean, I think a lot of it is,

738
00:36:37,180 --> 00:36:38,740
I've been hearing it a lot where

739
00:36:38,740 --> 00:36:42,100
if you just kind of go in with confidence,

740
00:36:42,100 --> 00:36:44,340
if you're confident about what you're doing,

741
00:36:44,340 --> 00:36:46,180
nobody will be uncomfortable.

742
00:36:46,180 --> 00:36:47,460
You will not be uncomfortable,

743
00:36:47,460 --> 00:36:49,180
but other people will be uncomfortable

744
00:36:49,180 --> 00:36:50,820
in terms of their unsureness.

745
00:36:50,820 --> 00:36:51,660
Oh yeah.

746
00:36:51,660 --> 00:36:52,660
But you'll be fine.

747
00:36:52,660 --> 00:36:56,140
So I've done that a lot with pulling out my knitting

748
00:36:56,140 --> 00:36:59,980
at places I might not have done so in the past,

749
00:36:59,980 --> 00:37:02,020
and I just don't care anymore.

750
00:37:02,020 --> 00:37:04,380
And if somebody makes, you know,

751
00:37:04,380 --> 00:37:06,540
it's very, I have to say, for the most part,

752
00:37:06,540 --> 00:37:09,860
if people see me knitting, usually nothing happens.

753
00:37:09,860 --> 00:37:12,500
And then there's like 5% where somebody will say,

754
00:37:12,500 --> 00:37:13,860
oh, what are you making?

755
00:37:13,860 --> 00:37:15,580
Knitting is my comfort item.

756
00:37:15,580 --> 00:37:16,420
Yeah.

757
00:37:16,420 --> 00:37:17,780
Yeah, they'll ask what you're doing.

758
00:37:17,780 --> 00:37:18,980
Yeah, I don't mind that either.

759
00:37:18,980 --> 00:37:23,420
And then like 1% may say like something snarky,

760
00:37:23,420 --> 00:37:25,900
like without, maybe even not realizing it,

761
00:37:25,900 --> 00:37:29,060
like saying, oh, hey there, grandma, or whatever.

762
00:37:29,060 --> 00:37:31,220
But even if I get like the snarky comment,

763
00:37:31,220 --> 00:37:33,140
I have so many good comebacks at this point

764
00:37:33,140 --> 00:37:34,420
that I'm just like, I just,

765
00:37:34,420 --> 00:37:36,700
it usually stops them immediately,

766
00:37:37,580 --> 00:37:39,180
and they just go, oh wait, oh,

767
00:37:39,180 --> 00:37:41,140
this lady's loaded and ready to go.

768
00:37:41,140 --> 00:37:43,020
I'm gonna back off.

769
00:37:43,020 --> 00:37:46,700
See, I never get comments like that from strangers.

770
00:37:46,700 --> 00:37:49,020
It's always from people that I know.

771
00:37:49,020 --> 00:37:49,860
Yeah, that's fair.

772
00:37:49,860 --> 00:37:53,180
And whenever somebody makes a derogatory comment

773
00:37:53,180 --> 00:37:55,180
about my crafting, the only thing I do

774
00:37:55,180 --> 00:37:58,500
is make a mental note of, oh, you don't need one.

775
00:37:58,500 --> 00:38:00,060
Guess they didn't get anything.

776
00:38:00,060 --> 00:38:03,820
You just start crossing names off list.

777
00:38:03,820 --> 00:38:05,340
Let's work for me.

778
00:38:05,340 --> 00:38:07,660
Thank you, thank you for making that easy.

779
00:38:07,660 --> 00:38:10,980
99% of the time, like the people that comment on the knitting

780
00:38:10,980 --> 00:38:12,900
are always like, what are you making?

781
00:38:12,900 --> 00:38:14,300
Or like, my grandma used to knit.

782
00:38:14,300 --> 00:38:16,140
That's why I said it's like 0.1.

783
00:38:16,140 --> 00:38:18,420
Yeah, it's almost never,

784
00:38:19,700 --> 00:38:22,420
it's almost never negative.

785
00:38:22,420 --> 00:38:24,980
And yeah, but that's the thing.

786
00:38:24,980 --> 00:38:26,980
I also, I don't care anymore.

787
00:38:27,940 --> 00:38:31,780
If somebody sees me knitting and thinks that's weird.

788
00:38:31,780 --> 00:38:33,860
10 years ago, I really absolutely would have cared.

789
00:38:33,860 --> 00:38:36,100
Now, whatever, dude, you're just jealous

790
00:38:36,100 --> 00:38:37,180
you don't have something to do.

791
00:38:37,180 --> 00:38:39,980
I have tried so hard to make something for somebody

792
00:38:39,980 --> 00:38:42,900
who has made snarky comments about my knitting

793
00:38:42,900 --> 00:38:44,580
and it never gets finished.

794
00:38:44,580 --> 00:38:45,420
Why should it?

795
00:38:45,420 --> 00:38:46,260
I know.

796
00:38:46,260 --> 00:38:47,860
It's like guys, I got other things

797
00:38:47,860 --> 00:38:49,500
and people that actually care.

798
00:38:49,500 --> 00:38:54,300
I always, when people talk about what they do for work

799
00:38:54,300 --> 00:38:58,340
and yes, I am a web developer

800
00:38:58,340 --> 00:39:00,340
and I do all those computery things,

801
00:39:00,340 --> 00:39:03,860
but I would never mention my other projects

802
00:39:03,860 --> 00:39:06,420
because I always thought it was like, not embarrassing,

803
00:39:06,420 --> 00:39:07,580
but people are gonna be like,

804
00:39:07,580 --> 00:39:10,500
holy hell, sounds like a hobby or something like that.

805
00:39:10,500 --> 00:39:13,620
And so even today, I had to do something

806
00:39:13,620 --> 00:39:15,620
at my daughter's school

807
00:39:15,620 --> 00:39:18,940
and I was volunteering alongside with some parents

808
00:39:18,940 --> 00:39:20,340
and we had some downtime.

809
00:39:20,340 --> 00:39:22,420
We were just kind of manning a booth area

810
00:39:23,420 --> 00:39:27,420
and the woman next to me asked me what I do for it.

811
00:39:27,420 --> 00:39:30,220
I said, well, sometimes I code stuff

812
00:39:30,220 --> 00:39:33,140
and then other times I buy, sell, trade yarn.

813
00:39:33,140 --> 00:39:35,420
And she's like, really?

814
00:39:35,420 --> 00:39:36,540
That's so cool.

815
00:39:36,540 --> 00:39:40,180
And I went, thank you, it is cool.

816
00:39:41,300 --> 00:39:45,140
I have told several people about your yarn saver,

817
00:39:45,140 --> 00:39:48,660
like side business and everybody thinks that's so cool.

818
00:39:48,660 --> 00:39:49,500
Thank you.

819
00:39:49,500 --> 00:39:52,300
I really been trying hard and working hard at it.

820
00:39:53,420 --> 00:39:54,460
And I helped.

821
00:39:54,460 --> 00:39:59,460
And you helped and it moves.

822
00:39:59,740 --> 00:40:01,820
It really, it moves.

823
00:40:01,820 --> 00:40:04,020
I get orders that go through.

824
00:40:04,020 --> 00:40:06,860
I am bad at social mediaing, which is hysterical

825
00:40:06,860 --> 00:40:09,740
because I have my Feenery and Knitwear account.

826
00:40:09,740 --> 00:40:10,780
So much work.

827
00:40:10,780 --> 00:40:12,180
It's just like, you're like.

828
00:40:12,180 --> 00:40:13,380
When do you have the time?

829
00:40:13,380 --> 00:40:15,220
I like pack an order and I've taped it

830
00:40:15,220 --> 00:40:17,060
and I went, I should have recorded that.

831
00:40:17,060 --> 00:40:19,580
And then like, or like I'm assessing stuff

832
00:40:19,580 --> 00:40:21,380
and like, I'm like, oh, I should record me

833
00:40:21,380 --> 00:40:23,100
like assessing stuff, like, I don't know.

834
00:40:23,100 --> 00:40:23,940
And like, you don't think about it.

835
00:40:23,940 --> 00:40:25,220
No, we do that all the time.

836
00:40:25,220 --> 00:40:26,060
Yeah, I know.

837
00:40:26,060 --> 00:40:27,140
When you're doing it, you just.

838
00:40:27,140 --> 00:40:29,060
Well, I've been helping you with some of that stuff.

839
00:40:29,060 --> 00:40:30,980
I'll remind you if that's something that you wanna do.

840
00:40:30,980 --> 00:40:31,900
Yes, please do.

841
00:40:31,900 --> 00:40:34,260
Because that's the hard part is getting the,

842
00:40:34,260 --> 00:40:37,420
what they call it, like B shots where you're doing stuff.

843
00:40:37,420 --> 00:40:38,860
You're actually doing the thing that you're.

844
00:40:38,860 --> 00:40:40,820
Yeah, I'm like, I do do stuff.

845
00:40:40,820 --> 00:40:41,660
BTS.

846
00:40:41,660 --> 00:40:43,140
Behind the scenes.

847
00:40:43,140 --> 00:40:44,740
Behind the scenes, that's what it is.

848
00:40:44,740 --> 00:40:48,140
But yeah, no, but it's, but that's, you know,

849
00:40:48,140 --> 00:40:51,220
putting that in my vocab, it's made me feel

850
00:40:51,220 --> 00:40:53,020
a lot more confident about that kind of stuff,

851
00:40:53,020 --> 00:40:57,740
which I feel like is old lady level grinding

852
00:40:57,740 --> 00:41:00,940
because I feel like young me would have been like,

853
00:41:00,940 --> 00:41:03,860
oh, oh, oh, I'm not gonna, I'm just gonna,

854
00:41:03,860 --> 00:41:05,300
I'll just keep to myself.

855
00:41:05,300 --> 00:41:08,020
I'm gonna just tell people I'm a developer

856
00:41:08,020 --> 00:41:10,580
and a computer person and blah, blah, blah, blah.

857
00:41:10,580 --> 00:41:11,900
Go with that.

858
00:41:11,900 --> 00:41:14,340
Yeah, I didn't tell anybody at work that I knitted

859
00:41:14,340 --> 00:41:17,180
like the first two years that I was there

860
00:41:17,180 --> 00:41:18,260
because I felt the same way.

861
00:41:18,260 --> 00:41:21,940
Like they're gonna be like, oh, that's a weird old lady hobby.

862
00:41:21,940 --> 00:41:25,100
And we used to do these awesome spirit weeks at school,

863
00:41:25,100 --> 00:41:26,300
like right before Christmas.

864
00:41:26,300 --> 00:41:28,540
We don't do them anymore, but we did.

865
00:41:28,540 --> 00:41:31,500
And one year they decided on Friday,

866
00:41:31,500 --> 00:41:33,700
everyone's gonna wear a hat with a pom pom.

867
00:41:34,780 --> 00:41:37,660
I didn't have a hat with a pom pom and I said that.

868
00:41:37,660 --> 00:41:39,540
And they're like, well, do you think you could get one?

869
00:41:39,540 --> 00:41:41,460
And I said, I think I could get one.

870
00:41:41,460 --> 00:41:45,460
And I went home and I banged out a Dutch girl beanie

871
00:41:45,460 --> 00:41:49,100
in super bulky in about 48 hours because it's super bulky.

872
00:41:49,100 --> 00:41:50,260
It was super fast.

873
00:41:50,260 --> 00:41:52,140
And I came in and they're like, oh, that's a cute one.

874
00:41:52,140 --> 00:41:53,060
And it was beautiful.

875
00:41:53,060 --> 00:41:55,260
It was like this, I made it out of Malibrigo,

876
00:41:55,260 --> 00:41:58,900
this bright, bright turquoise with a black pom on top.

877
00:41:58,900 --> 00:42:00,020
It was very pretty.

878
00:42:00,020 --> 00:42:01,860
And they're like, that's so cute.

879
00:42:01,860 --> 00:42:02,700
Where'd you get it?

880
00:42:02,700 --> 00:42:03,520
I'm like, I made it.

881
00:42:05,180 --> 00:42:07,620
You made it in two days.

882
00:42:07,620 --> 00:42:09,020
And I'm like, well, it's super bulky yarn.

883
00:42:09,020 --> 00:42:09,860
It's not hard.

884
00:42:09,860 --> 00:42:11,980
And they're like, that's really cool.

885
00:42:11,980 --> 00:42:12,820
And I was like, you know what?

886
00:42:12,820 --> 00:42:14,140
Yeah, it actually is pretty cool.

887
00:42:14,140 --> 00:42:17,660
Like I knit things and that's pretty cool.

888
00:42:17,660 --> 00:42:21,940
And I stopped being so like self-conscious about it

889
00:42:21,940 --> 00:42:22,780
after that.

890
00:42:22,780 --> 00:42:24,460
And then I started wearing like my sweaters to work

891
00:42:24,460 --> 00:42:27,020
and my shawls and it is, yeah.

892
00:42:27,020 --> 00:42:29,800
Again, with that, you think people's perception

893
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,360
is different than it actually is gonna be.

894
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:33,680
Yeah.

895
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:35,700
I have learned to be very proud of my knitting.

896
00:42:35,700 --> 00:42:37,940
Yeah, as everybody should be.

897
00:42:37,940 --> 00:42:39,640
I wear a lot of knits to work.

898
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:44,340
And every time somebody says, oh, that looks nice.

899
00:42:44,340 --> 00:42:46,020
I go, thanks, I made it.

900
00:42:46,020 --> 00:42:46,860
As you should.

901
00:42:46,860 --> 00:42:48,720
It is the automatic response.

902
00:42:48,720 --> 00:42:50,420
I always like those memes where it's somebody

903
00:42:50,420 --> 00:42:52,900
like patiently waiting for someone to compliment

904
00:42:52,900 --> 00:42:55,300
their knitting the first day that I am

905
00:42:55,300 --> 00:42:58,620
and no one's asking them to think, oh, thanks, I made it.

906
00:42:58,620 --> 00:43:01,820
I think people at work know by this time.

907
00:43:01,820 --> 00:43:03,740
At this point, they know you're not gonna go buy one.

908
00:43:03,740 --> 00:43:04,580
No.

909
00:43:04,580 --> 00:43:06,580
I don't think at this point, like most people

910
00:43:06,580 --> 00:43:09,100
are going to be like, oh, knitting, that's like lame.

911
00:43:09,100 --> 00:43:10,140
I really don't.

912
00:43:10,140 --> 00:43:12,540
And I kind of wonder if they ever were

913
00:43:12,540 --> 00:43:13,380
or if that was just our perception of it.

914
00:43:13,380 --> 00:43:14,860
Or was that the self-conscious things?

915
00:43:14,860 --> 00:43:17,760
Right, was that just our perception

916
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,500
that people were sitting around being like, oh, well.

917
00:43:20,500 --> 00:43:22,220
I think it's mixed.

918
00:43:22,220 --> 00:43:25,620
Because I definitely got feedback that knitting is lame.

919
00:43:25,620 --> 00:43:27,140
Yeah, yeah, I agree.

920
00:43:27,140 --> 00:43:29,980
That wasn't perceived, that was like direct.

921
00:43:29,980 --> 00:43:32,620
That was directly told to me.

922
00:43:32,620 --> 00:43:34,980
They are the people that are on my list.

923
00:43:34,980 --> 00:43:37,100
Or should I say, not on my list.

924
00:43:37,100 --> 00:43:38,420
They're on their own list.

925
00:43:38,420 --> 00:43:40,460
That's the list you don't wanna be on.

926
00:43:40,460 --> 00:43:41,740
Do you know what's fun though?

927
00:43:41,740 --> 00:43:44,580
And again, I don't know if this is universal,

928
00:43:44,580 --> 00:43:47,100
but the number of my students that come in

929
00:43:47,100 --> 00:43:50,260
and they're just sitting there like before class

930
00:43:50,260 --> 00:43:54,820
and they're crocheting or cross stitching

931
00:43:54,820 --> 00:43:57,060
or little crafts with their hands,

932
00:43:57,060 --> 00:43:58,900
like 15 and 16 year olds.

933
00:43:58,900 --> 00:43:59,720
Good for them.

934
00:43:59,720 --> 00:44:01,500
I know, I had one come up to me the other day

935
00:44:01,500 --> 00:44:04,900
and she's like, look, miss, I cross stitched a penguin.

936
00:44:04,900 --> 00:44:07,500
And it was so freaking cute.

937
00:44:07,500 --> 00:44:11,420
And I'm like, I feel like the younger generation now,

938
00:44:11,420 --> 00:44:14,780
so maybe we're not old lady level grinding as much in this.

939
00:44:14,780 --> 00:44:17,020
A lot of the younger generation are really getting into

940
00:44:17,020 --> 00:44:21,100
the crafting with your hands and being creative,

941
00:44:21,100 --> 00:44:22,620
which I think is just awesome.

942
00:44:23,820 --> 00:44:24,860
Just very cool.

943
00:44:24,860 --> 00:44:27,260
I mean, if we could just go back to

944
00:44:27,260 --> 00:44:29,660
not being on the screens and doing all of that,

945
00:44:29,660 --> 00:44:32,180
I think the society would be better as a whole.

946
00:44:32,180 --> 00:44:34,220
I know, I know.

947
00:44:34,220 --> 00:44:35,740
Well, I'll tell you though,

948
00:44:35,740 --> 00:44:39,460
we just banned phones at my school, which was awesome.

949
00:44:39,460 --> 00:44:41,660
And the first week, the kids are going around like,

950
00:44:41,660 --> 00:44:42,540
what are we supposed to do?

951
00:44:42,540 --> 00:44:44,780
And I wanna say it was the third day.

952
00:44:44,780 --> 00:44:47,220
I'm in homeroom and these two boys in my homeroom,

953
00:44:47,220 --> 00:44:49,100
16 years old, they come to me, they're like,

954
00:44:49,100 --> 00:44:50,620
do you need post-its?

955
00:44:50,620 --> 00:44:52,140
And I'm like, why?

956
00:44:52,140 --> 00:44:54,100
I'm like, yeah, they're mine and I bought them

957
00:44:54,100 --> 00:44:56,260
with my own money, so yes, I do, why?

958
00:44:56,260 --> 00:44:58,180
And they're like, well, can we have some?

959
00:44:58,180 --> 00:44:59,020
I'm like, why?

960
00:44:59,020 --> 00:45:01,180
And they're like, we wanna make origami.

961
00:45:01,180 --> 00:45:03,580
And I'm like, you know what?

962
00:45:03,580 --> 00:45:05,900
I said, here you go, you can have this stack of post-its,

963
00:45:05,900 --> 00:45:08,380
but I don't wanna see your origami on the floor.

964
00:45:08,380 --> 00:45:09,660
Yeah, fair.

965
00:45:09,660 --> 00:45:11,220
I come back into my room after,

966
00:45:11,220 --> 00:45:13,300
I step out in the hall during passing time.

967
00:45:13,300 --> 00:45:15,580
And as they're leaving, they're like, we left some.

968
00:45:15,580 --> 00:45:16,740
And I'm like, okay, and I'm thinking

969
00:45:16,740 --> 00:45:17,940
they're gonna be all over the desk.

970
00:45:17,940 --> 00:45:21,260
They ornamented my bookshelf with their little cranes.

971
00:45:21,260 --> 00:45:22,780
And I'm like, you know, you guys can make

972
00:45:22,780 --> 00:45:24,260
as much origami as you want.

973
00:45:24,260 --> 00:45:27,700
And I love that, that's where they went.

974
00:45:27,700 --> 00:45:29,860
Instead of coming and putting their heads down

975
00:45:29,860 --> 00:45:32,140
on their desks and taking a nap during homeroom,

976
00:45:32,140 --> 00:45:33,980
they were like, what can we do?

977
00:45:33,980 --> 00:45:35,500
We're gonna make some origami cranes.

978
00:45:35,500 --> 00:45:36,820
I'm like, that's fabulous.

979
00:45:36,820 --> 00:45:40,740
I mean, we remember high school without cell phones.

980
00:45:40,740 --> 00:45:42,700
We do, but they have never experienced it.

981
00:45:42,700 --> 00:45:43,540
Oh, I get that.

982
00:45:43,540 --> 00:45:45,340
I'm just saying, you know, it's glad,

983
00:45:45,340 --> 00:45:48,540
I'm glad to hear that the younger generations are going,

984
00:45:48,540 --> 00:45:51,020
oh, wow, we could do this without a screen.

985
00:45:51,020 --> 00:45:52,660
Yeah, well it is.

986
00:45:52,660 --> 00:45:53,980
And it's, I really do.

987
00:45:53,980 --> 00:45:55,380
Passing notes with the paper footballs.

988
00:45:55,380 --> 00:45:56,220
Yeah.

989
00:45:56,220 --> 00:45:58,820
Paper footballs, and I mean, just bringing a book.

990
00:45:58,820 --> 00:46:00,740
What about, what's that thing where you like,

991
00:46:00,740 --> 00:46:02,540
Oh, the fortune.

992
00:46:02,540 --> 00:46:04,340
Oh, what was that called?

993
00:46:04,340 --> 00:46:05,420
I forget.

994
00:46:05,420 --> 00:46:06,260
I forget.

995
00:46:06,260 --> 00:46:07,260
The listener's gonna tell us.

996
00:46:07,260 --> 00:46:08,100
I don't tell us.

997
00:46:08,100 --> 00:46:10,060
Like a fortune or something, yeah.

998
00:46:10,060 --> 00:46:10,900
I don't remember.

999
00:46:10,900 --> 00:46:12,980
You pick the color, you pick a number.

1000
00:46:12,980 --> 00:46:13,820
Yes.

1001
00:46:13,820 --> 00:46:16,660
You then, you know, you pick a letter.

1002
00:46:16,660 --> 00:46:18,580
You find out what your life is gonna be like.

1003
00:46:18,580 --> 00:46:19,420
Yeah.

1004
00:46:19,420 --> 00:46:20,260
You ask a question.

1005
00:46:20,260 --> 00:46:22,500
Oh my God, did you guys play mash it?

1006
00:46:22,500 --> 00:46:23,340
What's mash it?

1007
00:46:23,340 --> 00:46:24,160
Oh my God, you didn't play that?

1008
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,780
Where you had to pick like three guys you would marry,

1009
00:46:26,780 --> 00:46:28,100
three houses you would live in.

1010
00:46:28,100 --> 00:46:29,300
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1011
00:46:29,300 --> 00:46:30,580
And it was ridiculous.

1012
00:46:30,580 --> 00:46:31,980
I didn't know it was called mash it.

1013
00:46:31,980 --> 00:46:32,820
Yeah.

1014
00:46:32,820 --> 00:46:33,660
I think it was called mash it or mash.

1015
00:46:33,660 --> 00:46:34,500
We called it mash.

1016
00:46:34,500 --> 00:46:35,980
Lainey and I did mash it.

1017
00:46:36,860 --> 00:46:38,500
My best friend and I when we were kids.

1018
00:46:38,500 --> 00:46:39,700
But I don't remember what,

1019
00:46:39,700 --> 00:46:42,940
I think it was like igloo and townhouse for like,

1020
00:46:42,940 --> 00:46:43,780
you know, all the houses you could live in.

1021
00:46:43,780 --> 00:46:44,620
Oh, we did.

1022
00:46:44,620 --> 00:46:45,460
Mansion, apartment.

1023
00:46:45,460 --> 00:46:46,820
Mash was like mansion, apartment.

1024
00:46:46,820 --> 00:46:48,180
Shed house.

1025
00:46:48,180 --> 00:46:49,020
Shed house.

1026
00:46:49,020 --> 00:46:51,060
And then we had igloo was I.

1027
00:46:51,060 --> 00:46:51,900
Oh, so you did a polling.

1028
00:46:51,900 --> 00:46:54,460
And then T was I think townhouse or I don't remember

1029
00:46:54,460 --> 00:46:55,280
what T was.

1030
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:56,120
Yeah, we just had mash.

1031
00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:57,620
Yeah, I know.

1032
00:46:57,620 --> 00:46:59,660
But yeah, like you're right.

1033
00:46:59,660 --> 00:47:02,100
Like there was that resourcefulness of being a kid.

1034
00:47:02,100 --> 00:47:04,540
And I really, I'm proud of them.

1035
00:47:04,540 --> 00:47:05,380
I really am.

1036
00:47:05,380 --> 00:47:07,620
Making the S symbol that everybody knows how to do.

1037
00:47:07,620 --> 00:47:08,460
Oh, yes.

1038
00:47:08,460 --> 00:47:09,780
Yes, yes.

1039
00:47:09,780 --> 00:47:10,620
But nobody knows where it came from.

1040
00:47:10,620 --> 00:47:11,460
But everyone was doing it.

1041
00:47:11,460 --> 00:47:12,300
We all know what it is.

1042
00:47:12,300 --> 00:47:13,140
All mothers.

1043
00:47:13,140 --> 00:47:15,460
That is such a, what's the word?

1044
00:47:15,460 --> 00:47:16,300
Like.

1045
00:47:17,260 --> 00:47:18,300
Oh, that's me.

1046
00:47:19,660 --> 00:47:20,500
Wait, I'm gonna leave this.

1047
00:47:20,500 --> 00:47:21,340
I was gonna say this time.

1048
00:47:21,340 --> 00:47:23,180
That's my metal arm.

1049
00:47:23,180 --> 00:47:25,980
This time you can just leave it in.

1050
00:47:25,980 --> 00:47:29,020
But yeah, I think kind of that universal experience

1051
00:47:29,020 --> 00:47:29,860
of being a kid.

1052
00:47:29,860 --> 00:47:31,980
And I am really impressed that like they are

1053
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:35,940
being resourceful and figuring out

1054
00:47:35,940 --> 00:47:37,260
what to do without the screen.

1055
00:47:37,260 --> 00:47:40,060
Anything else great about lady level grinding?

1056
00:47:40,060 --> 00:47:42,500
I have gotten really good at saying no.

1057
00:47:42,500 --> 00:47:43,820
Oh God, yes.

1058
00:47:43,820 --> 00:47:45,420
To things that I don't wanna do.

1059
00:47:45,420 --> 00:47:46,260
Yes.

1060
00:47:46,260 --> 00:47:48,020
Not for the sake of saying no, but.

1061
00:47:48,020 --> 00:47:50,400
And without making 800 excuses for it.

1062
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:51,240
Yeah.

1063
00:47:51,240 --> 00:47:52,060
Like you know what?

1064
00:47:52,060 --> 00:47:54,180
Sorry, I can't do that.

1065
00:47:54,180 --> 00:47:55,020
Done.

1066
00:47:55,020 --> 00:47:56,940
Not even, not even that.

1067
00:47:56,940 --> 00:47:58,460
I really don't wanna do that.

1068
00:47:58,460 --> 00:47:59,740
Or that.

1069
00:47:59,740 --> 00:48:00,700
The directness.

1070
00:48:00,700 --> 00:48:01,540
Yeah.

1071
00:48:01,540 --> 00:48:03,060
Of just this isn't gonna work for me.

1072
00:48:03,060 --> 00:48:05,200
Or even I'm not feeling up to that.

1073
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:09,860
And I spent so long with so much time

1074
00:48:09,860 --> 00:48:14,260
where I was doing things that were making me unhappy

1075
00:48:14,260 --> 00:48:15,820
that were physically taxing.

1076
00:48:15,820 --> 00:48:19,860
That I literally did not have the capacity to do.

1077
00:48:19,860 --> 00:48:21,180
And I said yes because I was worried

1078
00:48:21,180 --> 00:48:23,660
that people were gonna be upset with me.

1079
00:48:23,660 --> 00:48:25,900
And I don't care anymore.

1080
00:48:25,900 --> 00:48:26,740
No.

1081
00:48:26,740 --> 00:48:28,100
And I shouldn't say that I don't care anymore.

1082
00:48:28,100 --> 00:48:30,340
Like I care more about myself.

1083
00:48:30,340 --> 00:48:31,180
You know it's.

1084
00:48:31,180 --> 00:48:32,000
Right.

1085
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:32,840
Boundaries.

1086
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:35,500
You gotta prioritize what is actually important to you.

1087
00:48:35,500 --> 00:48:36,340
Yeah.

1088
00:48:36,340 --> 00:48:37,740
And it is.

1089
00:48:37,740 --> 00:48:40,500
Kind of that like if people are really your friends,

1090
00:48:40,500 --> 00:48:41,660
they will understand.

1091
00:48:41,660 --> 00:48:42,500
Exactly.

1092
00:48:42,500 --> 00:48:43,320
That you know what?

1093
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:45,660
Sometimes I gotta prioritize me

1094
00:48:45,660 --> 00:48:47,340
or I gotta prioritize my family.

1095
00:48:47,340 --> 00:48:49,660
And you know it's,

1096
00:48:50,900 --> 00:48:52,560
that's the way it's just gotta be.

1097
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:55,120
Like I remember being a teenager or 20 something

1098
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:57,380
and like every night had to be booked out.

1099
00:48:57,380 --> 00:48:59,260
Like there had to be something going on every single night.

1100
00:48:59,260 --> 00:49:01,420
And if somebody was like are you free any night this week?

1101
00:49:01,420 --> 00:49:04,860
I'd think about that one free night and be like yup.

1102
00:49:04,860 --> 00:49:06,500
And now it's like you know what?

1103
00:49:06,500 --> 00:49:07,340
No.

1104
00:49:07,340 --> 00:49:09,940
I look at my week and I'm like if I do that,

1105
00:49:09,940 --> 00:49:12,020
if I max out my whole week,

1106
00:49:12,020 --> 00:49:14,380
I'm going to burn out.

1107
00:49:14,380 --> 00:49:15,680
I'm gonna be miserable.

1108
00:49:16,660 --> 00:49:20,100
I'm gonna say no to some things or some events

1109
00:49:20,100 --> 00:49:21,340
and say you know what?

1110
00:49:21,340 --> 00:49:22,580
This is, I'm not,

1111
00:49:22,580 --> 00:49:24,580
it's not that I'm busy.

1112
00:49:24,580 --> 00:49:27,780
It's that I've got about as much on my plate as I can do.

1113
00:49:27,780 --> 00:49:28,620
So.

1114
00:49:28,620 --> 00:49:30,660
And I think about like 21 year old me

1115
00:49:30,660 --> 00:49:32,340
would have been like what a dope.

1116
00:49:32,340 --> 00:49:34,980
Like we were talking the other night and I'm like

1117
00:49:34,980 --> 00:49:37,460
oh my god do you remember Jess when you used to get off work

1118
00:49:37,460 --> 00:49:40,140
at 10 and get home at 10 30 and we'd be like okay

1119
00:49:40,140 --> 00:49:40,980
what are we doing?

1120
00:49:40,980 --> 00:49:43,300
And I'm like I would die now.

1121
00:49:43,300 --> 00:49:45,980
Like I can't even think about that.

1122
00:49:45,980 --> 00:49:47,360
All right friends.

1123
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:48,200
I mean.

1124
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:49,980
Let's go back to 06, 07.

1125
00:49:49,980 --> 00:49:50,820
Oh no.

1126
00:49:50,820 --> 00:49:51,900
All right.

1127
00:49:51,900 --> 00:49:52,740
Let's not.

1128
00:49:52,740 --> 00:49:54,780
I'll still be awake now but I'm just watching my shows.

1129
00:49:54,780 --> 00:49:56,780
Let's not.

1130
00:49:56,780 --> 00:49:57,740
Because I can't.

1131
00:49:57,740 --> 00:49:59,620
Back to 06, 07.

1132
00:49:59,620 --> 00:50:01,700
That was my night clubbing days.

1133
00:50:01,700 --> 00:50:02,540
Yeah.

1134
00:50:02,540 --> 00:50:03,360
Right.

1135
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:07,060
And I can say that because we truly went every Thursday.

1136
00:50:07,060 --> 00:50:07,900
Oh yeah.

1137
00:50:07,900 --> 00:50:10,260
I went out to the club and we,

1138
00:50:10,260 --> 00:50:13,660
and it was truly just for dancing.

1139
00:50:13,660 --> 00:50:15,220
Yeah.

1140
00:50:15,220 --> 00:50:17,740
The friends I would go with we weren't there to drink.

1141
00:50:17,740 --> 00:50:19,540
We literally just wanted to dance.

1142
00:50:19,540 --> 00:50:20,380
No.

1143
00:50:20,380 --> 00:50:22,460
Like that joke of like the girls putting their purses

1144
00:50:22,460 --> 00:50:24,540
in the middle and just sitting in a circle and dancing.

1145
00:50:24,540 --> 00:50:25,380
Yep.

1146
00:50:25,380 --> 00:50:27,140
We did the same thing but it was 04, 05.

1147
00:50:27,140 --> 00:50:27,980
Yep.

1148
00:50:27,980 --> 00:50:28,820
Same thing.

1149
00:50:28,820 --> 00:50:31,620
And then it's like oh it's 09 PM.

1150
00:50:31,620 --> 00:50:33,360
We should start getting ready

1151
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:37,700
because we're gonna leave at 10 but 10, 10, 30.

1152
00:50:37,700 --> 00:50:41,020
Get there for 11 because we'd go to Springfield.

1153
00:50:41,020 --> 00:50:41,900
Yep.

1154
00:50:41,900 --> 00:50:42,900
We went to Providence.

1155
00:50:42,900 --> 00:50:45,060
It is literally hurting me.

1156
00:50:45,060 --> 00:50:45,900
Oh yeah.

1157
00:50:45,900 --> 00:50:47,300
To listen to this recap.

1158
00:50:47,300 --> 00:50:49,260
But then you stay until they close.

1159
00:50:49,260 --> 00:50:50,080
Yep.

1160
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:51,440
And then you go to Bickford's.

1161
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:52,280
Yeah.

1162
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:54,180
For crappy pancakes.

1163
00:50:54,180 --> 00:50:56,860
And you get home at 04, 30.

1164
00:50:56,860 --> 00:50:58,580
We would go to the diner and.

1165
00:50:58,580 --> 00:51:00,620
Yeah you gotta go somewhere that's not great.

1166
00:51:00,620 --> 00:51:03,820
I want Jim Jams at like six o'clock.

1167
00:51:03,820 --> 00:51:04,660
No, no, no.

1168
00:51:04,660 --> 00:51:05,480
This is then.

1169
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:06,580
Because everyone gets off work by nine.

1170
00:51:06,580 --> 00:51:07,420
This is then.

1171
00:51:07,420 --> 00:51:09,420
So all your friends are free after nine.

1172
00:51:09,420 --> 00:51:10,480
I just wanna make this clear.

1173
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:11,500
If I tried to do that right now.

1174
00:51:11,500 --> 00:51:12,340
I know.

1175
00:51:12,340 --> 00:51:13,380
I think I'd be in the hospital.

1176
00:51:13,380 --> 00:51:14,220
I think they'd have to take me.

1177
00:51:14,220 --> 00:51:15,060
I wouldn't do it.

1178
00:51:15,060 --> 00:51:16,500
I think they'd have to take me out.

1179
00:51:16,500 --> 00:51:18,340
I go to sleep at nine.

1180
00:51:18,340 --> 00:51:20,060
Like I could not.

1181
00:51:20,060 --> 00:51:21,980
There was a time when I was fun.

1182
00:51:21,980 --> 00:51:22,820
I'm not anymore.

1183
00:51:22,820 --> 00:51:23,660
No.

1184
00:51:23,660 --> 00:51:25,660
Like I can't imagine walking in.

1185
00:51:25,660 --> 00:51:30,100
The energy we used to put into Graveyard in October.

1186
00:51:30,100 --> 00:51:30,940
Do you know what?

1187
00:51:30,940 --> 00:51:32,220
Like the energy.

1188
00:51:32,220 --> 00:51:33,580
Like actual.

1189
00:51:33,580 --> 00:51:34,420
Thinking about that.

1190
00:51:34,420 --> 00:51:35,240
Energy.

1191
00:51:35,240 --> 00:51:36,080
Like we would scare.

1192
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:36,920
Haunted Graveyard.

1193
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:38,260
They weren't like excavators.

1194
00:51:38,260 --> 00:51:39,100
Like they weren't doing these graves.

1195
00:51:39,100 --> 00:51:39,940
No, no.

1196
00:51:39,940 --> 00:51:40,780
Haunted Graveyard.

1197
00:51:40,780 --> 00:51:41,620
We were at a Halloween.

1198
00:51:41,620 --> 00:51:43,140
A Halloween attraction.

1199
00:51:43,140 --> 00:51:44,540
We would work all day.

1200
00:51:44,540 --> 00:51:45,580
We would work all day.

1201
00:51:45,580 --> 00:51:46,420
Like full shift.

1202
00:51:46,420 --> 00:51:48,420
Then we would go into the night.

1203
00:51:48,420 --> 00:51:49,780
Yeah one, two o'clock.

1204
00:51:49,780 --> 00:51:50,620
And we'd come home.

1205
00:51:50,620 --> 00:51:52,980
It'd take us about two hours to get the makeup off.

1206
00:51:52,980 --> 00:51:56,020
We'd go to sleep around like two, two thirty.

1207
00:51:56,020 --> 00:51:57,700
Get up for six.

1208
00:51:57,700 --> 00:51:58,620
No, no.

1209
00:51:58,620 --> 00:51:59,900
You missed a step.

1210
00:51:59,900 --> 00:52:00,980
Oh, grilled cheeses.

1211
00:52:00,980 --> 00:52:01,940
Grilled cheese.

1212
00:52:01,940 --> 00:52:02,780
Yep.

1213
00:52:02,780 --> 00:52:03,620
We would eat grilled cheese.

1214
00:52:03,620 --> 00:52:05,160
We would get home.

1215
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:06,000
Listen, we were hungry.

1216
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:09,020
Spend time making your bathroom

1217
00:52:10,340 --> 00:52:12,020
different colors.

1218
00:52:12,020 --> 00:52:15,420
Well we walked off our makeup.

1219
00:52:15,420 --> 00:52:18,700
And make grilled cheese at the same time.

1220
00:52:18,700 --> 00:52:20,620
Yeah, but yeah about three o'clock.

1221
00:52:20,620 --> 00:52:23,220
Then we get up for like six to get to work for seven

1222
00:52:23,220 --> 00:52:24,540
and do it all over three days.

1223
00:52:24,540 --> 00:52:26,380
And I'm like, and we were excited.

1224
00:52:26,380 --> 00:52:27,580
And now I'm like thinking about that.

1225
00:52:27,580 --> 00:52:29,860
And I'm literally sick to my stomach

1226
00:52:29,860 --> 00:52:31,620
thinking about doing it.

1227
00:52:31,620 --> 00:52:32,820
I could never do that again.

1228
00:52:32,820 --> 00:52:33,780
But that's the thing.

1229
00:52:33,780 --> 00:52:35,260
It's like that's the season.

1230
00:52:35,260 --> 00:52:38,180
Like you can look back on that with like fond memories

1231
00:52:38,180 --> 00:52:39,060
of wow that was great.

1232
00:52:39,060 --> 00:52:41,140
The same way that like Tina and I look back

1233
00:52:41,140 --> 00:52:42,100
on our clubbing days.

1234
00:52:42,100 --> 00:52:43,700
It's like that was great.

1235
00:52:43,700 --> 00:52:46,060
I'm really glad it got to have that experience.

1236
00:52:46,060 --> 00:52:47,340
I don't want to do it again.

1237
00:52:47,340 --> 00:52:48,180
Never.

1238
00:52:48,180 --> 00:52:53,180
I'm so glad like even thinking about like 2006, 2007

1239
00:52:54,420 --> 00:52:57,820
when we would go to the Shea and Hartford for karaoke

1240
00:52:57,820 --> 00:52:59,580
every Wednesday night.

1241
00:52:59,580 --> 00:53:01,900
And we would stay there until it closed.

1242
00:53:01,900 --> 00:53:05,860
On a Wednesday night karaoke.

1243
00:53:07,860 --> 00:53:10,340
Don't forget those few times that I went with you.

1244
00:53:10,340 --> 00:53:13,280
You were not of age to be in a bar.

1245
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:16,100
But they didn't card before nine o'clock.

1246
00:53:16,100 --> 00:53:16,940
They did not card.

1247
00:53:16,940 --> 00:53:17,780
So if we got there early.

1248
00:53:17,780 --> 00:53:19,900
To be fair you weren't drinking.

1249
00:53:19,900 --> 00:53:20,980
You weren't buying drinks.

1250
00:53:20,980 --> 00:53:22,660
I was not buying drinks.

1251
00:53:22,660 --> 00:53:24,260
No.

1252
00:53:24,260 --> 00:53:25,100
Okay.

1253
00:53:25,100 --> 00:53:27,980
But like I love those memories.

1254
00:53:27,980 --> 00:53:29,700
I would not given the opportunity

1255
00:53:29,700 --> 00:53:31,060
if someone were to ask me tomorrow

1256
00:53:31,060 --> 00:53:34,620
do you want to go to karaoke at 11 o'clock

1257
00:53:34,620 --> 00:53:35,940
on a Wednesday night.

1258
00:53:35,940 --> 00:53:37,940
Can we just throw this out there?

1259
00:53:37,940 --> 00:53:40,300
There is a business opportunity.

1260
00:53:40,300 --> 00:53:42,820
I wouldn't mind doing karaoke

1261
00:53:42,820 --> 00:53:45,860
doing some dancing to not really loud music.

1262
00:53:45,860 --> 00:53:46,700
Six o'clock.

1263
00:53:46,700 --> 00:53:49,900
No, can we do it at brunch?

1264
00:53:49,900 --> 00:53:50,740
Brunch.

1265
00:53:50,740 --> 00:53:52,780
Brunch karaoke.

1266
00:53:52,780 --> 00:53:57,780
Brunch karaoke followed by lightly mused dancing.

1267
00:53:58,820 --> 00:54:00,100
I don't want it to be loud.

1268
00:54:00,100 --> 00:54:04,060
I also cannot stand loud noises anymore.

1269
00:54:04,060 --> 00:54:07,120
And that is a shame because I am such a loud person

1270
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:08,980
and I make loud noises.

1271
00:54:08,980 --> 00:54:10,140
I annoy myself.

1272
00:54:10,140 --> 00:54:12,720
I'm sad that I can't dance to the thong song

1273
00:54:12,720 --> 00:54:14,260
anymore in public.

1274
00:54:14,260 --> 00:54:15,500
Yes you can.

1275
00:54:15,500 --> 00:54:17,900
I mean I could but I might get arrested.

1276
00:54:18,780 --> 00:54:20,620
We weren't caring what other people thought

1277
00:54:20,620 --> 00:54:21,880
when we were in public.

1278
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:24,180
No, I'm just worried about my criminal record.

1279
00:54:24,180 --> 00:54:26,180
That's all I'm worried about.

1280
00:54:27,420 --> 00:54:28,740
But yeah.

1281
00:54:28,740 --> 00:54:31,300
Ma'am you're disturbing the peace.

1282
00:54:31,300 --> 00:54:33,700
Ma'am we need you to step to the side.

1283
00:54:33,700 --> 00:54:34,980
You need brunch,

1284
00:54:34,980 --> 00:54:36,980
brunch karaoke

1285
00:54:36,980 --> 00:54:39,340
and then dancing where everybody is listening

1286
00:54:39,340 --> 00:54:41,120
to their own music on their own earbuds

1287
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:43,260
at a decibel level that they can appreciate.

1288
00:54:43,260 --> 00:54:44,980
Oh my god a silent disco.

1289
00:54:44,980 --> 00:54:45,820
A silent disco.

1290
00:54:45,820 --> 00:54:46,660
Give it to me.

1291
00:54:46,660 --> 00:54:51,660
Wait I would run that event all day every day.

1292
00:54:51,660 --> 00:54:53,940
And the best part about this entire plan

1293
00:54:53,940 --> 00:54:56,140
are the senior centers listening in.

1294
00:54:56,140 --> 00:54:58,300
Before dinner time which means that you're home

1295
00:54:58,300 --> 00:54:59,500
before it gets dark out.

1296
00:54:59,500 --> 00:55:00,340
Yep.

1297
00:55:00,340 --> 00:55:01,160
Oh my god.

1298
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:02,000
Sign me up.

1299
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:02,820
Come on.

1300
00:55:02,820 --> 00:55:03,660
Senior centers.

1301
00:55:03,660 --> 00:55:04,720
Sharks I have a deal.

1302
00:55:05,980 --> 00:55:06,980
Shark tank.

1303
00:55:06,980 --> 00:55:07,820
Let's do it.

1304
00:55:07,820 --> 00:55:10,020
Do you remember your 30s and 40s?

1305
00:55:11,740 --> 00:55:13,780
Do you remember those times?

1306
00:55:13,780 --> 00:55:15,900
We are wild cards in our 30s and 40s.

1307
00:55:15,900 --> 00:55:18,700
Can you imagine where we're gonna be in our 60s?

1308
00:55:18,700 --> 00:55:21,540
I just, honestly I hope I make it there.

1309
00:55:21,540 --> 00:55:25,660
I hope in our 60s we are at the disco brunch.

1310
00:55:25,660 --> 00:55:27,180
The silent disco brunch.

1311
00:55:27,180 --> 00:55:28,660
I really hope that's a thing.

1312
00:55:28,660 --> 00:55:31,760
So Pat's gonna kill me if I do any more businesses

1313
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:34,340
but if I just, you know maybe if it's like

1314
00:55:34,340 --> 00:55:35,960
a side trial thing.

1315
00:55:36,980 --> 00:55:40,020
Feel like Pat we're gonna do buy sell yarn

1316
00:55:40,020 --> 00:55:41,380
and then we're gonna do,

1317
00:55:41,380 --> 00:55:45,100
and then we're gonna do merch bags for Fiber Artists.

1318
00:55:45,100 --> 00:55:50,100
And then we're gonna do brunch karaoke silent disco.

1319
00:55:50,420 --> 00:55:51,260
Yeah.

1320
00:55:51,260 --> 00:55:52,980
And he's gonna go I don't know how this goes together

1321
00:55:52,980 --> 00:55:54,660
and it's like it's all for Fiber Artists.

1322
00:55:54,660 --> 00:55:56,100
It's the ones who wanna go.

1323
00:55:56,100 --> 00:55:59,100
Pat you don't understand because you're not one of us.

1324
00:55:59,100 --> 00:55:59,940
All right.

1325
00:55:59,940 --> 00:56:04,500
You gotta get into like the circle.

1326
00:56:04,500 --> 00:56:05,340
Yeah.

1327
00:56:05,340 --> 00:56:07,180
You better start your old lady level grinding.

1328
00:56:07,180 --> 00:56:09,220
This is Pat looking at me with the face.

1329
00:56:09,220 --> 00:56:11,900
Pat you are a level one, you need to be up there.

1330
00:56:11,900 --> 00:56:13,020
You're not on our level.

1331
00:56:13,020 --> 00:56:15,420
No he would be looking at me with the same face

1332
00:56:15,420 --> 00:56:18,420
he gives me when he's like we're not opening a yarn store.

1333
00:56:18,420 --> 00:56:19,260
Yes.

1334
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:21,600
Even though he like I've got.

1335
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:23,020
But it could be magical.

1336
00:56:23,020 --> 00:56:24,760
But see listen buy sell yarn,

1337
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:27,020
I've gotten like a little wedge in, you know.

1338
00:56:27,020 --> 00:56:28,180
Huh, huh.

1339
00:56:28,180 --> 00:56:29,020
So now he's like.

1340
00:56:29,020 --> 00:56:30,220
You've proven that the model works.

1341
00:56:30,220 --> 00:56:33,500
If you open a yarn store we can make the brunch happen.

1342
00:56:33,500 --> 00:56:34,340
It's true.

1343
00:56:34,340 --> 00:56:35,860
Because we can have it at the store.

1344
00:56:35,860 --> 00:56:36,700
Yep, yep.

1345
00:56:36,700 --> 00:56:37,940
Sunday is for brunch.

1346
00:56:37,940 --> 00:56:39,980
Sunday is for disco brunch.

1347
00:56:39,980 --> 00:56:44,580
We need to find a compatible local yarn store to do this.

1348
00:56:44,580 --> 00:56:45,560
This is gonna happen.

1349
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:46,400
We're gonna make the magic happen.

1350
00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:48,740
I don't wanna wait for when I have a yarn store

1351
00:56:48,740 --> 00:56:51,380
because that's gonna be a long time from now.

1352
00:56:51,380 --> 00:56:52,220
All right guys.

1353
00:56:52,220 --> 00:56:53,040
Gonna make the magic happen.

1354
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:53,880
All right so.

1355
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:57,340
We will see you guys at the silent disco brunch.

1356
00:56:57,340 --> 00:56:58,180
Ah!

1357
00:56:59,020 --> 00:57:00,600
