Speaker: That's my big takeaway. Maybe things is senile. I don't know. I'm just freaking delusional. Go get a salad and you'll feel better.
Speaker: Well, hey, everyone. Welcome back to another episode of Unprofessional Opinion. I am Heather. I'm Carly. Yay. Good job. Off to a good start. Off to such a good start. We're not even like 10 seconds in. I'm so happy you're here. Carly is here today for our mini series, 30 Things I Learned Before 30. Yes. Oh, my gosh. Cheating a little bit because I'm in my 30s already. So some of these are things I'm still learning. But I feel like you are
Speaker: Yeah. I mean, that'll be even a different perspective because you're in your 30s. Yes. Well, very early on now. Fresh into my 30s. Yeah. Happy late birthday. Thank you. Early 30s. But that's awesome. Yeah. So I know we were catching up on the weekend. Yes. How's your week looking? This week should be
Speaker: Honestly, not too busy. So Heather and I used to work together. Yes. Carly was one of the best coworkers ever. He very changed work with her to it. Well, I was going to say, so you know better than anyone that now we're getting into kind of a less crazy time for work, which will be super nice. Tax life, death, and tax it. Yes. So this next week and like next month or so even should be a little bit calmer. Yeah, that's true. Oh my gosh. I'm sure you're just like so happy all of that's done. Yes. Big relief.
Speaker: Now, all sorts of new things to put time into. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. Cool. Love that. Well, I'm not as busy as you are, but it's fine. This is fine. But honestly, it's good that you'll have more time for yourself. Yeah, no. Well, and you know also, got a big move coming up. So now I have time to really start getting all that figured out, which will be good. That's true. Boxes, have you started packing yet?
Speaker: like very early stages. We've done more of the like cleansing. So we're throwing a lot of stuff out, making the decisions. What's going to go with us? What are we just going to part ways with? So it's been good. We've acquired a lot of stuff while we've been in Texas. I feel like you just acquire a lot if you don't go, like if you had to move multiple times and you don't actually like stop and look at what you
Speaker: Yeah. You will just take on way too much. Yeah. It's been a long time since we had to go through everything and decide like, what could we get rid of in five years? Wow. Yeah. Oh, you lived with Kara before. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So yeah, you can acquire a lot for sure. And I was super lucky when I lived with Kara. It was really kind of all of like her stuff in terms of living room and kitchen. And I kind of got to slot in and just bring like bedroom stuff.
Speaker: When I was moving, I didn't really have a lot to go through or think about. So just kind of took all that stuff with me and now have started to really acquire a lot of stuff. Yeah, for sure. Well.
Speaker: If you ever need anything to give away, let me know. I'm happy to go through your trash. One man's trash is another woman's treasure. We'll have plenty, I'm sure. So I will definitely keep you posted. That's funny. I love it. I love it. Yeah. Keaton, AKA Spud. Yes. I haven't heard that yet. Is that a nickname? Carl, you need to catch up on the last episode. That's a stage name.
Speaker: stage name. Okay. It's so that you, like when you talk about him, like that's okay. I don't think I've ever like explained why we call him Spud, but Morgan actually came up with it. So, um, you've watched New Girl, right? Okay. So Michael Keaton, some of it, episode where like the Batman, the Batman,
Speaker: No, no, no, wait. I'm thinking of something else. I'm thinking of the Friends episode where one of them gets Michael Keaton's tux and they're like, I'm Batman. Okay. So Michael Keaton in general, he shows up in an episode in New Girl or it's about that anyway. So then Morgan was like a lot of her, oh gosh, I'm giving this away. She's got a password that has to do with Michael Keaton. Okay. Oh gosh, maybe I'm giving too much away. Morgan's going to have to change all of that.
Speaker: Okay, anyway, so it was from there, it was like Michael Keaton and Keaton. Oh, okay. Oh, I'm not gonna have to say it. So it's like Keaton potatoes. Keaton and potatoes, like meat and potatoes. Oh, okay. Michael Keaton, Keaton potatoes. It's fun.
Speaker: Cute. That's how I came. I like. Sorry Morgan. Morgan update all your passwords immediately. Update all your passwords right now. If anybody listens to this they'll have access to your information. Once I started then I realized that it's not going to be funny. There's only one way to tell the story. It's not going to make any sense all the time to finish the story. Oh my god that's so funny. But anyways that's the stage name. Okay. So it's been just kind of fun. Love it. Especially early on into dating you don't want to like give too much pressure. Yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker: but it made it fun. No, I like it a lot. Okay, so if ever we're referencing, it'll just be a spud. We can just do a spud. Okay, cool. Cool. I'm not sure how we got there. Oh, oh, oh, I was going to say Keaton's got three spud bats. Oh, excuse me, spud. Just like blur out his name. I'll just be like, meh. It has like three big bags when he moved from California. It's just been sitting in his closet and it's old clothes and like
Speaker: Something he could wear, but he just hasn't gone through it. And I'm just itching just to go through it and just find the gems. Or just get rid of it.
Speaker: It just feels so good. It must be, has he not been through every season in Texas? Like, stuff he just hasn't needed yet. No. Eventually. No, you're right. You're right. He has. He moved here, like, last February. Okay. So, yeah, he has. Oh, okay. So, just items that, like, you could live with or without at this point. Exactly. Yeah. He probably could live with that, for sure. I haven't touched it for a year. Somebody told me that once as, like, a rule of deciding what to keep and get rid of when it comes to clothing, at least.
Speaker: If you haven't worn it in a year, you've had 365 opportunities to choose it, you haven't, just get rid of it. I don't actually abide or live by that advice, because it's got a lot of stuff I haven't worn in a year. But nonetheless, I think it's a good rule for them. I feel like the seasons piece is good. If you don't wear this sweater last winter, and now it's another winter, you should probably get rid of it. Probably not going to be the top of your pick. Yeah. Even last year, you didn't want it. For sure. For sure.
Speaker: Okay. Well, let's get into the meat and potatoes today. What a good transition. You're a podcaster. Okay. I don't know. I'm an unprofessional podcaster. Okay. So today we're doing, I told you this on mini series, 30 things I learned before 30.
Speaker: Carly is already 30. So she is actively participating in all of the things that she will share. Actively trying to live these lessons. Yes. And so I'll go first and we can kind of bounce back and forth if that works. Okay. So my first 30 things I learned before 30 and again, I'm turning 30 in June. So I am, man, I'm trying to get these goals done. We're trying to get a good spot. But my first one is so live for the little moments. And what I mean by that is
Speaker: life is full of a lot of big moments. You get married, you have kids, I don't know, you move, your friends move, but so many big things that there's a ton to celebrate and big things could be sad and unfortunate as well, but nonetheless, it's like big things. But there's so many more little moments in life that
Speaker: you can choose to just kind of sit in those moments and enjoy and find just so much peace and happiness. Like I was thinking Spud and I were out on White Rock Lake just like one Friday evening and just like caught the sunset. We're walking Cooper and it was just like, I just told him, I'm like, this like feeds my soul. This is like, it does, but it's like those little moments or just
Speaker: whatever it is. Like maybe you're just on the couch eating like a poke bowl and watching like Yellowstone. Yeah. That sounds amazing. But like, like those little moments, there's so many little ones like that. And if you can just, it honestly just goes back to like being grateful and being thankful for what you have. Like, wow, I've got like, it's pouring outside right now today. And I have a warm house and I've got a little poke bowl and my little chopsticks, whatever it is. Like you really, if you, it just puts life into a different perspective. So that's at least what
Speaker: what I learned and what I want to continue doing in my thirties. I love that. And I do think it's true. Sometimes the things that you put the least effort into planning or you don't expect to be a big moment can be such meaningful moments. So being able to recognize that I think is super important. Exactly. Even like it was funny early on into us dating, one of our favorite like I guess quote unquote dates was just a random, I think we ordered out food and we like puzzled.
Speaker: We're both like, this was awesome. This is so great. You're getting to problem solve together and really spend time together. It's not like, yeah, problem solving for sure. You're like, this is the wrong spot. You're like, wow, I know so much more about you. This is the first test of the relationship. That's at least my first one.
Speaker: I love that. Okay. That kind of ties into my first one too. And not to like totally contradict your advice by any means. I actually think it kind of builds on it. But my first one is that you do have to take time to celebrate your accomplishments. So they don't all have to be big moments necessarily. But I think in your twenties, you have so many milestones, you are growing so much and changing so much. And
Speaker: I think that I was always just so fixated on what was still ahead of me, that I wasn't taking time to celebrate accomplishments as they were happening. Whether it's in friendships or personal relationships or work or whatever it may be, I think that you develop and change so much.
Speaker: if you don't take time to really celebrate those things about yourself and what you're accomplishing and who you're becoming, then it gets harder to do it. And you start to wait further and further and look kind of like longer in between until something really big happens. Yeah. So I think that I am still actively trying to work on this more and more, but taking time to really celebrate accomplishments and life moments and make sure that not only are you building yourself up, but building up others around you and what they're accomplishing is really important. I love that.
Speaker: How do you do that though? So I've started to realize that. Now you have to have the answers. And I think that part of it is I've started to realize that it's kind of, this is what made me think it ties into what you were saying is that it can be something as easy as going out to dinner or getting a drink and toasting to the accomplishment. I used to think that sometimes it was like something you really had to put a lot of effort into, like playing a trip around something or
Speaker: kind of make it a bigger moment than it needed to be. But there's lots of easy little ways to celebrate. So one thing for my husband and I, a big thing that we have started doing is going out to dinner around certain milestones. If you get a promotion or whatever it is, it used to be like, oh, well,
Speaker: We'll have to plan something with friends or we'll have to like, you know, at some point find time to celebrate that, but now it's just an easy little way to do it. Yeah. That's good. Otherwise you'll just like go, go, go and you'll never... And it gets too far gone. It does. And then you're looking back and it's like, take that time in that moment to really find a way to celebrate. Yeah, definitely.
Speaker: I mean, that could even be like any season of life too. Like a married season, season with children, season without children. Like you're just going to be like, if you constantly are looking for the next thing and are celebrating the season that you're in, you're going to miss it. Yeah. So that's good. I like that. So wise. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. Well, these are, yeah, again, more things that it's like 30 things I learned before 30, but also like 30 things that like I need to keep in mind. Yeah. I'm still learning. Yeah. For sure. For sure.
Speaker: That's great. Okay. My second one was, uh, I don't know. I feel like in your twenties, you are having, I don't know, a lot of friends come in and out of your life, not like you lose the friends forever, but more, more so I'm saying it from this standpoint of like people move.
Speaker: Yeah. And those dynamics change and like your movie. Yeah. So sad. It hasn't hit me yet. Yeah, same. I'm excited for going away party. Ooh, yeah. It'll be fun. See? Celebrating. Yeah, I know. It's a little circle. But it's like made me more grateful to like have you as long as I've had you in the city, you know? Yeah.
Speaker: When you leave, it's like, well, I don't have that curly spot, you know, and I'm not going to be able to fill it. And that's okay. But it's like, it's so nice to be able to just like call you or do whatever and just like instantly go to someone who's just like your comfort and your people. And you don't really see that or feel that little bit of a void until you're like are seeing people actually move or like seeing the void. Yeah.
Speaker: happened. I started to feel it when Kate left, when Grace left, when Morgan left, you're leaving. Goodbye. You're like, what I'm learning. My friends are leaving. Everybody's leaving and going to Claudette. See you soon. It just is showing me the value of having those really close relationships
Speaker: in proximity to you. It's so great to have good friends that are, you know, you have in college or high school or whatever it is that are in other cities than you or just flights away, whatever it is. But there is something to be said about having like a close girlfriend or just close friends, friend, whatever in your actual city. Someone you can go to your car breaks down. If you're just having a really bad day and you need to grab a drink or you just need to go to their house and have wine. I mean, there were so many times we were working together.
Speaker: I would just ping you on teams and be like, wine, wine, great. I'm like over 20 minutes. That is just so nice. I'm going to miss that. I'm going to miss that so much. It is so true though. I feel like friendships, they're always kind of changing, but I've always been somebody who, when I'm living near someone, it's not that you're
Speaker: not intentional with the friendships if you're not in the same place with somebody. But when you do have that ease of being able just to go over to each other's houses or meet up for dinner or whatever it is, versus friendships, it can be a lot of effort when you don't live in the same city as people. And that's how you know that those friendships matter to you because you make the investment to go visit each other and see each other and you get so much out of that time together.
Speaker: But there, I think, is such an ease to just having a really good friend in the same city and being able to rely on them and whatnot. So I won't miss that just as much as you. So trust me, if not more.
Speaker: Well, we're not going to cry. This is not what this is about. Can't do that today. We're not going to do that right now. Okay. Change the topic. I'm going to start crying. Okay. Change the topic because I'm going to start crying. So my next one. So what is your next one? Yes. Okay.
Speaker: of the lessons, this is by far the one that I'm still working on the most, I would say. The one that just doesn't come natural to me always, but I think is such an important thing and has started to bring me a lot more peace is... And it's a lesson that I think can apply in all sorts of different situations, but essentially boils down to
Speaker: don't let perfect be the enemy of good. So I'm someone who can be a little bit of a perfectionist and it almost at certain points in my 20s started to kind of turn into like a little bit of paralysis almost. Like I want things to be so perfect and I want things to be in such a perfect place before I'm ready to make a decision or make a change. And it's like sometimes things just need to be
Speaker: good. It might not all be lining up exactly the way you want, but don't let that stop you from doing what you want. What was it, perfectionism? Perfect is the enemy of good is essentially the phrase that it boils down to. You will always stop yourself. You'll always be able to come up with a reason or an excuse if you're waiting for something to be perfect. I think the biggest time that I've had to apply that lesson honestly is with
Speaker: with us moving back to Florida. I kept just being like, well, I want to wait until the timing is perfect. I'll know when everything comes together perfectly with work and with whatever else it may be. And I realized that's never going to happen. There's always going to be some reason that it's not the perfect timing.
Speaker: there's always going to be something that you can kind of use as like a little bit of an out in your mind of like, oh, well, you know, in six months, this may be better timing or it may be more affordable or it may be like there's a lot to think about, but it's just like sometimes it doesn't have to be perfect. It's okay. Like it's good. It's the right decision. You feel good about it. Like just lean into that, be happy with that. Um,
Speaker: That's good. I think that it applies in a lot of different ways. And again, it's something that I still find myself struggling with a little bit sometimes. I think everybody is. I feel like a lot of people can relate to that.
Speaker: You put a lot of pressure on yourself when you expect things to be perfect in order for you to feel ready or comfortable or happy or satisfied with whatever it is you're deciding or doing or pursuing. Yeah. Do you associate that with failure? I think - Like if it's not perfect? I think that's the fear, right? Yeah. If it's not perfect and then it doesn't work out perfectly and then you're like, oh, I knew if I just waited for this or that or -
Speaker: And it can be a lot of pressure to put on yourself. Oh, yeah. And it's all you. That's the thing. No one else is pressuring you. Right. And what I perceive is perfect is just some standard I've created in my head. That's right. So it's like realizing you can turn that pressure down a little. You can just enjoy.
Speaker: If it's not perfect, it's okay. It's going to be okay. It really is okay. No one cares as much as you do. Yeah, that's true. And everyone's so focused on themselves. It's really not like we're in a selfish world, but it's true. It's like you've got your internal monologue.
Speaker: No one else is caring as much as you are. No, and it can be loud, right? You have to be able to turn it down a little bit, and that's something I'm always kind of still working on. I love that you said that. I kind of can relate a little bit with the podcast too. I was telling my mom, oh my gosh, I've got to get this done. I've got a post. I've got to do all this. She was like, Heather, no one knows, no one cares.
Speaker: I was like, you're right. No one really is watching. And she was like, just because you have this idea and you're the schedule, doesn't mean like if you don't hit it, it's not like it's not going to be just as successful or whatever. It's like to just kind of help me take a step back and think like, OK, I'm making this my own schedule. It's fine. This is like me putting this pressure on myself, not other people. Definitely. Yeah, for sure. Yeah.
Speaker: Yeah, no, that's great. I had a thought and then I just went away. You're like, it'll come back. Maybe it'll come back out for us to be watching up here and maybe it'll come down. But anyways, so yeah, that was great. Okay, my number three. Okay, so it was that pain and hardships will happen, but it's all about how you react to that. Okay, life is not
Speaker: like supposed to be super easy. And even if you come from money, obviously money makes things a bit more like cushiony, you're still going to have pain and hardships and things that happen to you. So it's going to come to everybody at some point, big or small, heartbreaks or whatever, it could be a breakup. It could be a loss of a parent, a loss of a sibling, a loss of a job.
Speaker: It could be like anything, hardships or pain, and it's just how you react to it. I mean, someone could be like, for example, obviously you were around when dad died, and that was really hard, but you don't really know how you will react to something like that. No one knows.
Speaker: unless you've been through those exact scenarios. You don't know. I was able to self -reflect and see how I reacted to that. It was really interesting. I think my faith was a lot behind that and a reason why I had the mindset I did.
Speaker: It's how you react to it. I mean, you could fall in like a deep depression if someone passes away or whatever it is. But I do feel like I'm not tuning my own horn, but I feel like I was rooted in a way of like good faith. I mean, obviously it's constantly growing. I'm not great at that. But friendships, having the right people in your corner that helped me like not go too deep into that hole, you know, and just kind of understand
Speaker: Just take myself honestly, like a step back and to look at it because it's going to happen to everybody and not to like diminish it or anything, but just to not fall too deep in it. Feel those feelings, but then be able to like know where you're at. I'm like honestly envisioning like you're in this little like, I've got glasses in the kitchen that are clear.
Speaker: I'm imagining in the bottom of that glass and I can see above it and I can see around me, but I'm in there. You're in control is how I feel. I can feel those feelings, but I know that I'm not always going to be in those feelings and this is just how it is right now and that's okay. That's a big one. That's huge perspective. I feel like you going through something like that and to your point, being able to see yourself that way,
Speaker: I can't say that I've had to reflect that way or think that way or challenge myself in that way. Yeah, for sure. But I think it's a lot of the Holy Spirit for sure. Yeah. And then friends, family for sure. But it's just really interesting how you react to it. I would hate for someone to just fall into a spell of depression or anxiety or
Speaker: They're pulling away from their friends and family if something really bad happens. That's not what life is meant to be. Something bad happens, you just fold. You need to get up and keep living your life. Someone passes away, it's like that person would not want you to be
Speaker: just sulking for a full year. You deserve to live your life to the fullest and to get through the pain, and that's going to happen. Getting through that adversity, whatever the pain is, will literally make you stronger. What was it Kelly Clarkson that said that? It's true. It's corny, but it's true. It will make you stronger. It will build, not too thick of a skin to where you're just like mister, no emotion, or this is no emotion.
Speaker: it will bring you that extra guard to fight any other battles that come up. No, that's huge. And I think it's definitely not
Speaker: Without those harder moments, it's harder to even have perspective on being able to celebrate the lighter moments. That's really true. That's probably why I think about the little moments too. Yeah. I feel like that's a big part of why you are so appreciative of life and so positive and able to enjoy life so much. It's like you don't want your friends to ever go through stuff like that.
Speaker: at the same time to your point, it is the reality that everybody will. So being able to pick yourself up out of those moments and continue on is what the people that love you want for you too. Yeah, for sure. Yeah.
Speaker: I appreciate that. Yeah, of course. Oh my gosh. That's such a good one. Yeah. I was going to say, even a fun example for that, well, it really wasn't fun for me. But when I got fired for my first job, people get fired. That happens. And I remember I was like, you know what I'm going to do? I'm not going to let this ruin my day. And I went to Eatsy's, which I love. Eatsy's. And I got myself a salad, which I love salads. And then I associate Eatsy's salads.
Speaker: as my pick me up. And I was like, I'm going to feel good today. Okay. Like that could even, you know, I don't know. It's just, it's, it's like, I mean, obviously it was like.
Speaker: This is awful. And got my ish together very soon after that. But I was like, I got this. I'm going to get my eat teeth salad and we're going to get this figured out. And I did. Yeah. The way that you feel in those first moments can really define how you're going to let that impact you. So it's funny that you look back on it and you're like, all I remember is had a great salad that day.
Speaker: A great salad and a great severance package. But when you think back to that day, it could be this tainted, dark, low moment, and that's just not how you see it. That's true. That's so important. Got to be more like you. That's my big takeaway from the thing just senile. I don't know. I'm just freaking delusional. Go get a salad and you'll feel better.
Speaker: You're like, I'm keeping on, I'm carrying on. Yeah. Really? You got to keep going. I like it. That's a good one. Okay. Take us home, Carl. Okay. So this is one, can't take credit for it. It's actually something that my dad said to me when he had a very like
Speaker: big milestone birthday in the last couple of years. And so we're talking about things he's learned and kind of like a similar conversation to this. And something he told me that I think I'm very much gonna like keep and continue on with is that every decade gets better. He's just found like every decade of his life, you know yourself better, you are more confident, like you grow into yourself, your family expands, your friends become like family,
Speaker: You just, I feel like you know and grow so much in 10 years. 10 years is a long time. Yeah. And I used to think my twenties were so fun. Like that's going to be like the highlight, like, Oh, like, how's it ever going to get better than that? Like, which is awesome. Yeah. And it's true. And it's fun in such a different way. Like you, you know, you're figuring yourself out in a lot of cases. I know for both of us moving to a new city, like starting a whole new chapter of life. So I think that,
Speaker: now I realize and I can appreciate so much more kind of being in my 30s but he was saying that every decade just gets better in a different way. You're going to go through totally different stages of life. You're going to experience totally different things and you're going to come out on the other side thinking to yourself like
Speaker: That was the best decade. How am I going to keep going up from there? I just really love the way that he thinks about it and sees that every decade is just a whole new set of opportunities and a whole new stretch of life that you get to look forward to, and it just gets better and better and better.
Speaker: I love that because I feel like people say, oh, it's downhill from here. You know, you think of these like big birthdays as like, oh my God, like the best is behind me. Yeah. Yeah. That's awesome. Is he just like a positive poly or all the time? Like to the point where it's like, how do you like? Yeah, it really is. It's admirable. Yeah. It's just like, oh my goodness. Like he just is seeing the always glass heffel. Always. Yeah. So that's really cool. Which I do think is
Speaker: It's like a, almost like a muscle a little bit that you build up and like, it's the delusion. Yeah. But you guys are taking delusion. And honestly, it's just like, I think that.
Speaker: It's easy to just be like, oh, well, he's always so happy. You're always so happy. But it's a choice. Yeah, it is. It is. Yeah, you've seen me not happy before and in the dumps. And I'm sure your dad's been in the same way. So it is. It's a choice. No, you can wake up every day. Some I think it's a little bit easier than others. But yeah, for sure. I love that. It's like, go ahead. Oh, no, no, no. I was just going to say it's like sometimes it feels more in your control and sometimes it feels more out of your control. Yeah.
Speaker: And I've definitely had points where it feels more out of my control. And I'm like, it's not as easy as just, oh, I'm gonna be happy. But I do think that.
Speaker: the more kind of intentional you can be about it, the more you think about it, the more you realize like, no, I do have the power to kind of at least start off the day of how am I gonna approach the day? It might go off the rails from there, but hey, we tried to keep it on track. But it's a lot easier to kind of get it back on track when you start in the mindset of, no, it's gonna be a good day if you have a good day.
Speaker: That's great. It's always, I mean, you could be negative all you want, but I've always, I mean, even like complaining, it's like that, what good is that going to do? Yeah. Like a, like kind of trailing off, but I didn't tell you this. So when Spud and I boarded our flight to
Speaker: Go out to California. Yeah, so that we got on the plane. Yeah, they're like, oh, sorry guys. There's no pilot here to fly the plane What like we're gonna lay the plate like we're doing for 30 minutes and then like see if they show up Yeah, like this is strange
Speaker: All of a sudden, all of our phones update at the same time and everyone's like, and it was delayed till six in the morning. And so we get off the plane. I had checked my bag. I didn't want, I did not want to against my free will. And they wouldn't, it wasn't like a checked bag size. Well, anyways, we were boarding group seven, so it was just too late so that I had to check it. And so then they kept all of our bags and we get to customer service to be like, how do we get our bags? And they were like, we're not going to give them to you until the morning. They're going to stay on the plane.
Speaker: We're like, what? So people are flipping out. Yeah. And I mean, again, if you have like medication on this plane, then you need it. Like that is not cool. You know, I think you were able. Yeah. Shocking a little bit. I know. But everyone who was complaining, we saw them the next morning with no bags. So it was like, what can you do? So that to me said about complaining, like,
Speaker: I mean, unless you are, it's a dire emergency. You've got your pills, whatever you need. It's like complaining is not really going to do that much. This poor woman at customer service was being attacked, mutilated, and everyone's yelling at her. Honestly, I was just like, wow, this is crazy. I can't believe I was in the middle of this. It's not a big deal. Just let it roll off your shoulders. It's fine.
Speaker: Again, it's an attitude thing, but it's kind of hard to do that. It's funny, because I was actually telling Chase during that, because we were texting, and I was like, Heather's being so chill about this. Well, Scott was really chill, too. Honestly, yeah. You were just like, yeah, flight's canceled. We're on our way home. It sounds kind of stressful, but you seem cool. I mean, it sucked, but it honestly helped to travel together and see that, and you're like, I've never seen this happen before.
Speaker: It was like who like they forgot to schedule the pilot the pilot just didn't show up like what like no air got like no information We're in the process. Does everybody make it to the airport except the pilot? It must have been some like like got delayed somewhere. Yeah, like something Yeah, but it seemed like they weren't giving you all very much information None customer service like it was so funny. So right out of the gate there's a customer. There's that like the gate person Yeah, she's like
Speaker: tells us to go to another gate just to get everyone away. She's like, go to this girl. So we went to this other person. And then we were like, well, OK, so the bag's going to stay on the flight. Got it. Is the plane going to stay there? And they were like, all we know, ma 'am, is it's going to get to Santa Ana.
Speaker: Okay. So like with us or are we flying on that plane or are they, is the bag going and it's coming back? Like they're like, we don't know. We just know that that plane's only going to go to Santa Ana. Huh? Okay. Yeah. So, all right. And so that's all we know. I was like, well, I hope we get on the same plane. I go, I left a couple, uh, you know, trash of a bunch of crunch and a sour, sour patch in the front seat. This is my seat. We get on the, on the plane.
Speaker: And it's there. We know it's the same plane. Smart. They picked up the trash the next morning. Oh. I know. But it was the same plane? You're pretty sure? I'm pretty sure. My dad was there. That's true. Never mind. But I had to hold you here. That's the more obvious tell that it's the same plane. The Sour Patch Kids. I didn't see it. I was like, where is the bunch of crunch? Where is it? Oh, yeah. You're like, it's not the same plane. But I was like, honestly, I'm glad they cleaned it. That's probably a good move. You're like, I guess it's like protocol. I don't know.
Speaker: I was saving these for the flight. But it's awesome. Look good. This is great. Thanks for having me. This is so much fun. I love this. I think we had a lot of good takeaways. And this is just such good reflection to be doing coming up on a big birthday. This is such a smart thing. It's just good to reflect in general.
Speaker: like your big milestone. It's good to self -reflect and just internal talk to yourself in a positive way. But yeah, it's going to be a great decade. It is. 30 is going to be so good. 30 is good. It's going to be the best decade yet. Some would say. Some would say. Girl's dad. Well, thanks so much for joining, guys. We will see you next time. Bye. Bye.
