Introduction and Podcast Naming
00:00:00
Speaker
All right, Marion, how's your list coming? I'm ready. Oh, perfect. Wow. I'm stressing about it for days, and you're over here. Six minutes in, you're good to go. The stakes aren't that high, Kara, you know? Millions of people listen to this, you know? Like in your dreams, or? Oh, man. My nightmares. My nightmares. I like cooking.
00:00:41
Speaker
What, how do I, so I'm trying to like transition from work. How do we usually start this thing off? It's like. Hi, my name is Kara. And I'm Mara. And I'm Marianne. And this is our podcast.
2024 Resolutions and Podcast Launch
00:00:59
Speaker
Welcome. What is our podcast called?
00:01:01
Speaker
My Top Everything. Welcome to My Top Everything. It's lovely to be here with you in this new year of 2024. We are here to tell you about our top three resolutions. I wish it was Met. I wish it was My Everything Top or something because MTE, we don't have a good acronym. I can't say Met.
00:01:22
Speaker
I have to say my top, or my top everything, which is a mouthful for me, personally, to interrupt this really nice flow of beginning. Don't worry, I couldn't remember the name of our podcast, so it wasn't that good. I'm just going to do an intro for safety, just in case. This might be a good idea.
00:01:46
Speaker
Oh, welcome to my top everything. We're three best friends who argue about anything and everything. This is our podcast and we are here in 2024, the year of our Lord today to talk to you about our New Year's resolutions. We are definitely in 2024. This is we are talking from a place of knowing what 2024 is like.
00:02:09
Speaker
and not imagining what it was like a couple weeks in the past in 2023. So don't worry. Right guys? I'm fully and mentally in 2024. I'm still being tortured by 2023 and I can't lie to you in this quote unquote year of our Lord that we've for some reason taken as part of our stick today. So no, it's December.
00:02:33
Speaker
I don't know what you're talking about. I always say the year of our Lord whenever I'm referring to a date. Yes. What a good Unitarian. I just think it's so funny. It's just the year just got made up and the people that were out there living in what we thought think of as 100 anything didn't know that. Yeah.
00:02:55
Speaker
Yeah, you know what we should do? We should have done the topic as top three things I'd like to leave behind in 2023. I think I really would have resonated with that. Yeah, 2023 is rough. Yeah. I'm excited. I'm looking forward to 2024. It's not like another pandemic could happen. You know, like it's got to be better, right? Even though I feel like 2023, would you say that 2023 was kind of the first year that felt
00:03:24
Speaker
not taken over by COVID? Yes. Yeah. I kind of stopped wearing masks everywhere. I stopped testing if I felt slightly ill. Yeah. Stuff is open. There's no cute green streets anymore. Cars are everywhere. Traffic is bad. Yeah, traffic is really bad in LA. It got so bad this year. It sucks.
00:03:48
Speaker
Everyone's back to work. I remember Pepper Farms remembers when I was one of two people on the road. Hashtag essential workers. Pepperidge Farms. That was the nicest commute. I don't know what Pepper Farms is. I do not understand that that's what the intent of that was. What did I say, Pepper? You said Pepper Farms. Were you mean Pepperidge Farms, like the cookie company? Yeah, it's like a meme. Yeah, it's a meme character.
00:04:19
Speaker
Between Cara and Mara, I'm like over here with like two translation dictionaries trying to bridge the gap between the two of you. Cara on Saturday was trying to look something up on TikTok to show me and she was like, I don't know how to search on TikTok, so I'll just go to YouTube. She went to YouTube to search on TikTok. I've been over how to search on TikTok. I feel more comfortable with YouTube.
00:04:47
Speaker
I can't. She doesn't do me dirty. Okay. Any updates? I didn't look at the updates thing, so on my end, there's none. Nope.
00:04:59
Speaker
I've still got a lingering 15 minute city update that I need to take at some point in 2024, baby.
The Name Dorcas - A Rare Gem?
00:05:06
Speaker
Do you want to tell the people about our cute New Year's Eve tradition? That would be a nice way to start stuff off. OK, well, first, let me get this real quick. So in our episode top three worst baby girl names, you talked about Dorcas and you said that there were like
00:05:26
Speaker
two people in America named Dorkus on this podcast. Yes, you, Kara, you brought up Dorkus. Yeah. You said two people in America. That was grossly incorrect. There are actually 2.57 people named Dorkus for every 100,000 Americans. That's a lot of Dorkuses. Think about how many Dorkuses that is. I don't know how many. That is a lot.
00:05:51
Speaker
Like 300 million population. How many? Sorry, I'm going to look this 2.57 per 100,000. So do whatever that math is. I'm not the math person. That's not 300 million divided by 100,000. Is that right? Is that what you said? Yeah. Times 2.57. No, not times. Yes. Just tell me what the number is. Well, 2.57. 2.57. That's going to give you a huge number. There are 7,710 dorkesses in America.
00:06:19
Speaker
My God. That is crazy. Yes. 7,000. There are 7,000 dorkesses running around out there. This name is most often used as a first name 100% of the time. That's what this website told me. Based on the analysis of 100 years worth of data from the Social Security Administration baby name database, the estimated population is 4,000, it says. But how can we know? It's also got to be a severe dip recently. There's got to be zero new dorkesses in the world.
00:06:49
Speaker
I don't know. I looked it up and I saw a pretty young Dorcas. It's spelled D-O-R-C-A-S. Yeah. I was spelling it D-O-R-K-U-S. Wow. Such a dork. Okay. Anyway, that was my update. That's all I wanted. I wanted the huff of air. That's perfect. Let us move on. Well, Kara, do you want to explain our tradition since you were the one who brought it up?
00:07:15
Speaker
I'll start it off and then you can tell the specifics because my memory. Our friend group loves each other very much. No way. Since when? I'm learning about this right now. We don't get to spend Christmas and Thanksgiving and other holidays with each other. Because of families. We've deemed New Year's Eve to be our friend group.
00:07:44
Speaker
holiday, so we try to get as many people together as we can. This year, we have already gone to Niagara Falls because it's 2020. And it was great. And it was wonderful.
New Year's Eve Traditions
00:07:56
Speaker
It was hot tub. Hot tub. We saw the balls. There were screaming. We had one fight as per usual. Whether or not it was a fist fight, we will not say. Titties. There were lots of titties.
00:08:15
Speaker
Always the titties. We did our annual nipple stare where we made sure that everyone's nipple is still the same. You know, I just got to check in every so now. Yeah, you got to be sure there is no growth or you know. Yeah. Yeah. So but what do we do other than the nipple? You tell us. So we get together and every I don't know how long ago now I came up with a set of like
00:08:45
Speaker
questions that in an OCD rampage, I like scoured the internet for four hours one year. And they're all the best end of year and next year questions I could think of. And every year we spend like three hours journaling about it together. And it's very nice. It's very sweet. I look forward to it a lot. It's very meaningful.
00:09:08
Speaker
And yeah, so this is kind of a spin on
Kara's Headstand Challenge
00:09:12
Speaker
that. There's a little taste of it, I guess. These are our top three New Year's resolutions for 2024. Who wants to get it started? I will again.
00:09:30
Speaker
get it over with, you know? Okay, my number three top resolution for 2024 is to be able to do a headstand. I like doing yoga and I don't do it at all. So if I put this into the world, there's got to be some sort of
00:09:50
Speaker
Okay. So you want to do like a yoga headstand. A yoga headstand. Yeah. The one where you like, you know, put your elbows around your head and then you kick your butt up in the air and then eventually your knees and your head and then you can stand up. And I've tried it before because I'm stubborn enough to think that at any fitness level I can do that. And I always hurt my neck in some way or another. And it's hard to dis dismount without going backwards. Like that's always what makes me nervous. So I'd like to be able to do one like in the middle of a room confidently.
00:10:19
Speaker
Yeah, you just got to be willing to fall on your face. Yeah. Crunch my nose into the floor. I like this one a lot. I really hope that by December twenty twenty four, we like you. We can post on the Instagram picture of you doing your headstand or a little video or something without someone holding your feet up. Yeah. Or without you being in the water. I can do a headstand or a handstand, you know,
00:10:48
Speaker
in a swimming pool, humble brag. Yeah, you're right. That's very unique. I'm so proud of you. Pretty tight. The question is, how long can you hold your breath while also doing a handstand underwater? Pretty long. One time I made my mom time me, and I was 25 years old. And I wanted to beat my boyfriend at the time. So I guess I was only 24. Excuse me. I was only 24.
00:11:15
Speaker
It's acceptable. Did you win? I did, yeah. Nice. I already passed out, but I won. Just kidding. And then you just saved your life, guys. Yeah. Just kidding. I didn't pass out. I'm not weak, so anyway.
00:11:30
Speaker
I think it's a good one to just start it off. No, it's good Plan like are you gonna month by month do something different or you just go straight up? Just try doing ahead is your plan like you just actually want to do more yoga And this is just a fake way to do more yoga because that's kind of messed up. Yes to both
00:11:50
Speaker
You're not going to like gradually, you're not, you don't have a, there is a gradual way to do it. Cause you have to start with like figuring out where your hands are positioned and then you like start with your butt up in the air. Are you going to like try to do it? Like you wake up in the morning, you unroll your mat first thing you do, you practice your headstand type situation. No, no, no. I need to do like, Oh, sorry. Fuck me. Damn. Somebody that can wake up and work out. I don't understand those people. Incredible. No.
00:12:21
Speaker
The only time I've ever done that, granted we were all living together, is when I was training for the marathon and I sort of had to do that. It's not waking up and working out though. It's just the headstand. Like I'm talking about not doing a whole yoga session. Like do you think this is really going to be successful if you are really in your mind thinking, I have to do a whole set of yoga every time I want to practice my headstand?
00:12:43
Speaker
I think I'm a little cocky and I actually don't think it's going to be that hard, so in my head. So in my head, I'm January 10th. Done and dusted. Yeah, on the night of Secret Santa, Carol will be doing a handstand. Evening in 2024.
00:13:01
Speaker
Yeah. January 10th is our secret Santa exchange. Oh, right. Okay. Because we love each other and our friends, our friends, but only enough to give one person a gift. Correct. Not made of money. Yeah. Okay.
00:13:19
Speaker
Well, yep, that's all I got to say about it. Can't wait for that journey. You know what I like about it is it's kind of like, if you can get it done super quick, it's kind of like when you put something on your list just so you can check it off. That's exactly right. Make tea, check. Check, yeah. Yeah, make list, check.
00:13:40
Speaker
All right. Well, my number three resolution for 2024 is to only talk about politics in person with someone.
Mara's Tiny Item Passion
00:13:49
Speaker
I think I've had a lot of.
00:13:52
Speaker
or not a lot, but a couple issues in the past, not just this past year, but other years of like trying to engage in complex political discussions and events with people. And I feel like it doesn't go well online or over text or whatever.
00:14:13
Speaker
There's something about it where you lose a lot of nuance because of the text messaging, and it doesn't really seem to get anywhere. I've never gotten done with one of those conversations and been like, I feel like my position has changed, or I feel like this other person's position has changed. It usually leaves me with some hard feelings.
00:14:34
Speaker
My resolution is to just if I want to talk about it, talk about in person when there's more of that eye to eye contact and, you know, like people are softer. People are in my experience usually like there's more of an understanding. You're not guessing at what tone they're using. Yeah. Yeah, I was going to say that not every conversation I noticed that you said that
00:15:02
Speaker
nobody's position had changed. And I wonder if that is... I think that when I enter a conversation thinking that my goal is to change someone's mind, it's never going to go well, no matter what the dynamic is during and after. Yeah. And I guess I'm not saying that my goal is that it's just like,
00:15:22
Speaker
It feels like those conversations route us further down into where we are. I see what you're saying. Yeah, that's a good point. What do you enter into the conversation thinking about?
00:15:36
Speaker
I usually I tend to think that people's people I think that most if not all people are good. And even if we have a different like if we would vote a different way, for example, or we have a different opinion about something, I want to know why they think that because I think generally it's just the thought process that's different. And that's why we get to a different conclusion. Sometimes it's just, you know, hatred or whatever. But I think a lot of times it's not it's like more nuanced than that. And I find it fascinating to find out why people think what they do.
00:16:06
Speaker
Mm hmm. I think that they're especially like during the 2016 20 like during election years, it's rough. I mean, these are happening 2024. Yeah. Yeah, it's a good time to do it. It's a good time to just. Yeah, off it. And just if I want to talk about what somebody called him or wait until I'm in person, I can talk about it. I was just talking to Maggie last night about this exact thing, actually, and
00:16:36
Speaker
The conclusion that we came to was that it's much better to do a one-on-one conversation than it is a group because people get all sorts of out of control in a group setting. Yeah. For sure.
00:16:47
Speaker
All right, Mara, my number three resolution for 2024 is to really give in more to my love of tiny things a bit more, whether that is in the form of like painting smaller items or buying more miniatures that you can build or like make or bake or make my own miniatures. I don't quite know what that one's going to look like yet. Yeah, I'd love to see some quantitative
00:17:17
Speaker
addition to it to know where you're going. I love the idea of you getting into those like, you know, on TikTok, all of those people who get the like little miniature food things. I have one in my house right now that I bought this weekend.
00:17:32
Speaker
Be proud of it. What is it? It's the same thing that we did New Year's of 2020. Yeah. Two or one where I laughed so hard, I cried. Yeah. We were all just into it's one of those where that you like mix water with powder and it's like essentially a jelly. Are you going to bring it to New Year's? No, I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it for her. Yeah. Self care.
00:18:01
Speaker
some jelly fake food story. I don't think I can hold off. Is it like, let me get this straight. So it's like. You were there. This is what I'm picturing. She was there. You were there. I don't remember Dorcas. I don't remember that. Let's just be clear about my memory here. You don't remember saying Dorcas? No. Oh my God. What have any of your lists mean?
00:18:23
Speaker
They are me in the moment. And every moment is a different Kara. So you're getting a very special recording every time is it. So this is what I'm picturing is like something that's the size of a penny. You drop some water on it and then it expands slightly and becomes like magic, like a magic plate with food called poppers or make poppins or pop it. Basically, it's like powder, Kara.
00:18:50
Speaker
And when you mix the gelatin, the water with it, it becomes, yeah, like a little paste or a little like kind of jelly looking thing. And then you do that with different colors and then you make like, I think, did we do a fried chicken one or what was it? It was like, I'm pretty sure it was sushi. I am. The one I just bought is donuts for those out. That was out in their world, basically.
00:19:13
Speaker
she makes a sandwich or an omelet or a sushi or whatever out of multiple different gelatin pieces that are different colors and sizes and shapes, and she makes it into a teeny tiny thing that you can pop in your mouth and eat. No, you can't eat it. You can't eat it. You said gelatin. Yes, you can. There you go. You said gelatin. They taste like shit. You wouldn't want to eat it, but it's edible. I tried it once, and I was like, never again. It's as edible as a gingerbread house.
00:19:43
Speaker
pop and cookin' DIY candy for kids and adults. Oh yeah, we did the sushi one, but it did have fried chicken in it. I'm looking at it right now and it had these little weird fried chicken things that we did, because I remember they looked so funny. Oh, remember the panda? God, that was fun.
00:20:00
Speaker
I think this was in Des Moines in that hotel room. It was, yeah. My memory, she's hurt. So not exclusively random food that I'm going to make and not eat, but pre-packaged, pre-designed food that you're going to make and not eat. I'm excited. I love that you're giving into those. You know the term glimmer, I feel like this is one of your glimmers and it's so
00:20:22
Speaker
It's like such a little thing that you can do to make yourself happy. The fuck is a glimmer? Yeah, what's the glimmer? Where do you hear this from? Why don't we know about it? TikTok. What's that? Apparently not yours.
00:20:40
Speaker
It's like it's like, you know how you recognize a lot of like little negative things like of that car got my way so I couldn't cross and I missed my bus or whatever like you're very attuned into those negative thoughts a glimmer is supposed to be sort of the opposite where you notice like the little good things that happen throughout the day and like cute things and things that make life like meaningful and happy. Oh, that's cute. I like that. So Grayson and I will look at each other randomly and
00:21:07
Speaker
like just like be like glimmer and it's just like, just like a little taste of happiness. Hmm. All right. What's your number two,
Watching 'The Last of Us' - Start Over?
00:21:15
Speaker
Kara? My number two resolution is to finish the last of us. I think we're like two episodes from the end and I just never picked it back up. It's all right. I'm like two out of two from here. I think you're like two or three. Uh, I think you're just two. I think you only have two more left. Yeah. It would be like a night.
00:21:32
Speaker
I'm really bite-sizing my resolutions, yeah. I don't think the first one was bite-sized, but we'll see, I guess. We'll see on Secret Santa Night, won't we? Yeah. We'll give everyone an update on our next podcast if you managed to figure it out by then. Yeah, I think you could plan this for one of your indoor home dates. Next time it's your turn to say we're watching, getting done with Last of Us, pow pow.
00:22:00
Speaker
Yeah, I don't think it would be hard. I want to watch it. It's just I don't know if you ever get into those moons where you're like, I cannot watch new content. Well, I think also this is like new content, but for something you watched so long ago that like it's like kind of borderline. Will I remember what's going on? Like, is this a bigger endeavor?
00:22:23
Speaker
I think I'd have to go to the previous episode, rewatch it, and remind myself where everything is at. You might as well just start from episode one. Yeah, just go again. I do this with a lot of series where I don't want it to end, so I just don't watch the last episode. I am not that person. I do that with a lot of things. Candy, books.
00:22:44
Speaker
TV. You just won't finish a candy because you don't want it to end. Sorry. Can you say candy bar? Kara, why did you say that? It was such a weird sentence. It was. You just won't finish a candy? Who said that? I was going to say candy bar, but then I was like, what if she has like a bag of like bummies?
00:23:03
Speaker
A bag. A bag of candy. That's how you say the word. But she said candy. So I was following suit. Nobody has ever said, let me just finish a candy real quick. Nobody's ever said that. I don't think I say candy bar a lot. Chocolate bar? What do I say? I don't say that. I don't think I talk about that ever.
00:23:24
Speaker
Okay. Hershey's. Wow. Don't feel seen. So wait, so sorry. Can we go back? So you have a Hershey's chocolate bar. Ew. One of the good ones. But you know what? Actually, actually, now that you say it, I remember this so vividly with Mara. Yes.
00:23:40
Speaker
Because you would get so angry with me for not finishing things. You'd be like, that Coke has been on your food shelf for weeks. Can I have it? And I'd be like, no. Of all the people. It would literally be like this great chocolate. There'd be like maybe two or three pieces of the chocolate left.
00:23:56
Speaker
I'd be like, that's going bad. Like, can I have it? And you'd be like, no, I'm going to finish it. Fast forward six months later. Oh, yes. Still not finished. Not going to be touched. It's just not good. A relic now. I remember this because when we moved out of that duplex, I remember going through the cupboards. There was so many things that were almost finished. And I remember you guys fighting or not fighting. You know, like, yeah, she looked me in the eye while she threw it in the trash.
00:24:23
Speaker
Like a psychopath. I threw away something. I bought little like toffee candies from IKEA and I took them to work. And I bought those like five months ago and I finally threw away the last of them because they were, they've been stale for three months at this point. Wow. So yeah, I do that too, Kara.
00:24:45
Speaker
People change what they don't change, you know? People change what they don't change. I think we're always growing and changing and moving. And leaving our candy. Leaving the good candy. That was what was so offensive about it. It wasn't shit. It was good shit that she would just leave literally on the table and not touch again. This is kind of like an extreme version of I will taste everything on my plate and I will save the last bite to be the best thing on the plate.
00:25:13
Speaker
But I will finish the last bite of my plate because otherwise I just don't get to enjoy it. Yeah. And sometimes I'm just too full to eat the thing that I was the most excited about. Yeah. That's the devastating. That's always devastating. Yeah. I've I really switched up my game recently, like maybe a couple of years ago and start eating the things I care about most right away. I don't regret it. Actually, that's a great idea. I bet you eat less. Don't know, but I think I'm happy. I don't like
00:25:43
Speaker
have things at the end and go, I don't want that in my mouth last. It's not like it's bad. It's like, you know what I'm saying? Like, it's not like whatever you're eating last is like terrible. You know, it's not like you have a beautiful like the best thing you ever tasted and then like somebody's poop on your plate. Like I'm just saying like if I had to pick between like beautiful carbs and. Something I found mediocre.
00:26:13
Speaker
I just like, I don't want green beans to be my last taste in my mouth out of a whole meal. Would you rather have green beans be the last taste or you can't finish that really good piece of the best steak you've ever had? Or if you do finish it, you know, you have that feeling of like you're forcing yourself to like eat it. Yeah. I usually don't finish both. I was going to guess that actually as like part of
00:26:43
Speaker
I'm fine. I love the steak so much that I don't want to finish it. Yeah. Well, you're alone in that, but that's okay. You know who you are. Miniature is not finishing food.
00:26:55
Speaker
What's your number two? My number two top New Year's resolution for 2024. Wow. I just, they look so big pattern closed. They really do. They look like anime boobs. I'm going to be honest. These are not my titties. I think that's the way that you're like grabbing them and moving them up in that. Yeah.
00:27:23
Speaker
I can't stop. What's your number two resolution? My number two top. No, I said it wrong. My number two resolution for 2024 is to mention the price of what things used to be more often. I feel like I'm not doing that enough. You know, I feel like I'm not complaining enough about God, how much inflation has taken over in the past few years. And I think I need to embrace more
00:27:52
Speaker
I think it would make me feel better to be like, oh my God, why do my groceries cost like 30% more now than they did before? I just feel like nobody's really talking about it, or we're talking about it, but nobody's doing anything about it. Maybe if I talk about it, I'll feel like I'm doing something. I don't know, like deal things? I guess maybe my number two resolution is like,
00:28:12
Speaker
Promote anarchy? Burn down a building in Protes? Like a government building? I don't know, but like I just maybe mentioning the price.
Inflation and Grocery Prices
00:28:21
Speaker
If I'm more like Pepperidge Farm Remembers, Pepper Farm Remembers, like the days when this cost a dollar, then I'll like feel like I'm doing something or better. But right now I just feel like I'm getting robbed all the time. I just feel like I'm being robbed.
00:28:36
Speaker
What you're doing is you're going to start being that lady that goes, I remember when eggs were 20 cents. Yeah. No one's going to know what to say back. Okay. There's going to be no conversation. It's just you complaining out into the void. Okay. That's what I'm asking for. Is that going to make you feel better? I think I just said that. I think it might.
00:28:55
Speaker
I literally complained to you guys the other day about how Costco raised the price of fair life from $33 to $37 and I was enraged. I searched through my email because I was like, why is this so expensive? What the fuck? And I searched through my email to find what the price was like in August and I am now. And it's like everything. It's like everything is just going up and nothing's going down. And I'm not saying that that's like not the natural order of things, but it just feels so crazy. It's like back in the day, if
00:29:24
Speaker
you know, you were making $22 an hour, you'd be like jizzing your pants, but now it's like $22 an hour, what's that gonna buy me? A sandwich at Subway? Like literally a sandwich at Subway? For like, I went there the other week, like a couple months ago, and I could not believe a foot long, like a foot long on a drink can cost you like $17.52, like what the hell is that?
00:29:48
Speaker
It makes me so angry because I feel like the cost of food at those places has gone up so much But their quality is like still the same shitty Quality and it makes me want to go there less like I haven't had McDonald's in months Because like makes me so angry to pay like some a price that might be in the teens Yeah for something that well a teenager made and they made it like shit. So somebody high
00:30:13
Speaker
somebody who doesn't want to be there, somebody else underpaid. Just like us. We were in a meeting the other day at work where United Way came and they were talking about all the programs that they do and how we're donating to them. And thank you for all of these things that we're doing are worth your money, blah, blah, blah. And then at the end.
00:30:31
Speaker
They said, and we can do taxes for people for free, so you don't need to go and use all these companies online and pay them 10% or whatever of your return. Just come to us if you make $88,000 or less. Or no, hang on, let me start that over. They were like,
00:30:46
Speaker
Yeah, we provide services for people that are in less than minimum wage, like $88,000 a year or something and all of the planners. So everybody on my team, we all looked at each other and we were like, so you're asking us to volunteer to do other people's taxes when we are the ones eligible for the purchase service. I was like, I hate everything right now. Oh my God. Yeah, it was, it was rough. Wow.
00:31:16
Speaker
Yeah, things are expensive. I did see something of the day that was like, if you made a certain amount, like in 1990, here's what an average like meal cost and then it bumped up to 2022. And it had like, you know, it increased 10 times each or whatever. And it was like, this is normal for inflation. But between 2022, specifically and 2023, it's gone up 1.6%.
00:31:37
Speaker
Yeah. I'm not even talking about 20 years ago. I'm talking about three years ago, two years ago. Also, the cost of inflation one year was 7% between years. And I only know that because I was like, okay, did the raise I get pay for cost of living? Yeah. And the only reason it did is because I got a promotion.
00:31:59
Speaker
So did you even get a promotion? That's the question I'm asking. No, I'm still paid the same. Thank you. That's so annoying. Well, I wish you luck in your complaints. Thank you. It feels good to yell into the void. Doesn't it?
Listener Engagement on Inflation
00:32:16
Speaker
And we got a podcast, so it even feels like we're doing more by yelling into the void. I feel like I'm really doing something right now by bringing up this important, timely issue. Act now.
00:32:27
Speaker
I don't know how to act. I don't know what I'm asking for, but act. Let's do something about this, guys, because it's unbearable. It's unbearable. Slide into our DMs. Let us know your thoughts. Yeah, let us know your solutions. On how to fix inflation. I know. I know we can figure this out. We all just like binging out one night, like two hours. We can fix inflation, you guys. I know it. I was taking a shit earlier this week, and I really, I was thinking about it.
00:32:57
Speaker
how I really feel like 2024 might be our year for riots, like burning it all down. So I do feel like... There might be like some real, yeah, just like revolution happening. And if it's because I'm talking about what things used to cost, then so be it.
00:33:16
Speaker
So be it. I'm ready to inspire revolution. I'm the next poster child for it. It's going to be me wagging my fingers saying this used to cost $2.06 and now it costs $2.97. What's up with that? You know what I'm saying? I do. All right. Mara? She's yelled enough into the void.
00:33:40
Speaker
I like that you told us you were shitting like that. Anything to do with the story like it was relevant. It was relevant to me. Just poop thoughts. Yeah, literally shower thoughts. Here are poop thoughts. Poop thoughts are darker. Yeah, they are. It's a little less fun zone.
00:34:01
Speaker
Anyway, I really struggled with deciding what my number two was gonna be speaking of. My number two resolution, I would really like to go full crazy and
00:34:24
Speaker
plan a year of cleaning, you know, how you I have, I have all these different projects that I want to do. And they're kind of like cleaning, organizing related, and I would like to write them all down and then equally spread them out, but like divide them based off time of year. And then like done this. Yeah.
00:34:48
Speaker
I think you could just Google that. I don't think you need to put that much effort in, man. Yeah. Well, it's specific to her life. So I just figured it'd make like a Google Docs calendar. Do you think it's going to take a whole year for you to deep clean your apartment? Yeah.
00:35:05
Speaker
I don't particularly enjoy deep cleaning, because then I can get into the nitty gritty, like mail. My mail has to be a whole month. It's a problem. That's a personal problem, definitely. The mail is a personal. Remember that time you lost your debit card or your credit card or whatever? I don't know. You could have paid for anything for months, and all it took, I remember I walked in there. I could pay for things, and it was only a week.
00:35:32
Speaker
No, it was less than a week because I realized I went to a very long time. And then it was like right there. It was like right there. It wasn't right. I'm so sorry. It was not right there. I had to tear apart my mail pile. You had to open it. No, I mean, I had to go through the mail that I've opened and then put in a pile.
00:35:56
Speaker
to deal with later, mixed in with mail, I just didn't open. Listen, it wasn't, I only realized it expired because yes, I couldn't, I went to pay for something and I couldn't. But it wasn't months, but I did have months to do it. Yeah, yes, yeah.
00:36:18
Speaker
They sent it to me within plenty of time for me to achieve this task. In fact, when you opened it the first time, all you had to do is just take it out of the envelope and...
00:36:28
Speaker
And I did take it out of the envelope and I looked at it and then I put it back in the envelope saying to myself, you know what? I have three months to deal with this. Yeah. And it's stressful to change your card because all of your accounts are associated with this. So then every time that you have to pay for your phone or your internet or a grocery bill or whatever, you have to go in, you have to change it all. And it's frustrating. So the worst part about that is I'm just going to dig my own hole here.
00:36:55
Speaker
Because I let it expire, they had to send me a new card with different numbers. But the original card that they sent me would have been the same numbers as my previous card, but a different expiration date. And that has actually happened to me twice. Wow. So does your card expire in 2024? Because maybe the resolution should just be, don't let my debit card number change this year. You know what? I think it does.
00:37:22
Speaker
Maybe we go even smaller than deep clean the whole apartment. He's just like, don't let the number change. Dude, I'll write that down right now. Thank you.
00:37:36
Speaker
I was dreaming too big. My bad. Well, this sounds like a good plan for you. It reminds me of the year that I'm Marie Kondo'd my whole life. It did take several Sunday afternoons to get it done over a course. It was basically the whole winter. I thought, what can I do this whole winter to entertain myself in Minnesota and spend every Sunday doing another like Marie Kondo situation. So really break up the winter blues crying. Yeah.
00:38:02
Speaker
Yeah, then I had a reason to cry when Marie Kondo was forcing me to dump my great grandma's ancestral relic into the trash. Just kidding. It's not serving me.
00:38:17
Speaker
No joy. It's not serving me. No joy. Listen, I'd like to be on this Google Doc. I would like to take your advice and try to do the same thing. Me too. Because I don't deeply. I don't. Because we move. I know. So it's like I'll do it when I move. Yeah.
00:38:35
Speaker
And there are things that I or they're like the. There are things I want to clean, like the windowsill or the baseboards. Yeah, or my fan blades or the fan blades. Oh, my God, I stare at the my bedroom fan blades are so bad and like we get into bed at night. That's the problem is I see them when I get into bed and I'm like, we should really do something about that. And then we're like, yeah, tomorrow. And then I forget about it.
00:39:03
Speaker
And they are nasty, they are nasty. I'm waiting for one huge clump of dust to just fall into my mouth while I'm sleeping. Nice. Piece of advice, when you do clean it, take all the sheets off before you do it. Or just do it over a dirty bed. Yeah, and then wash your sheets, I suppose. Should we go to our sponsors? What?
00:39:27
Speaker
Oh, yeah, boy. All right. Here we go. Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boops, teddy boop, snip balls, titties. Somebody the other day told me that Jurassic Park was not filmed in Hawaii and I said shot. Which one? I know. I think they were talking about this. The like newest one. Yeah. Because the first one, a lot of it was shot in Hawaii, not all of it, but
00:39:57
Speaker
I know. I clapped back. Good. Did the world of service. Did you say you're out of your goddamn mind? Yeah, but a lot nicer because I'm like the calmest person you've ever met. All right. Our number three sponsor this week is Grayson. Thanks, Grayson, for doing all the technical stuff and trying to figure out how we can reach more people.
00:40:26
Speaker
You're doing a great job, because I'm sure a bunch of new people are listening to this right now. Welcome, new people. You're here because of Grayson. Yay. And your New Year's resolution to laugh more. Yes. That was cute. Why do we sound like a cult right now? We're like, yay. Yes. All right. Matthew's trying to sneak in here to get the laundry.
00:40:54
Speaker
What do you call it? The drying rack? I don't know. I haven't done laundry in about a year. I don't do that anymore. I have a wonderful servant boyfriend to do it for me now. Our number two sponsor this week is Matthew for doing my laundry and making it so I can spend my time focusing on the podcast, using my brain on that instead of doing my laundry. Thank you, Matthew, for keeping me smelling not like a sewer.
00:41:23
Speaker
Thanks. It really feels like man's work. Are you trying to get the cat? Why are you trying to take the cats one at a time? I don't think that's effective. Oh god, the third cat. No way. Good job, Raph. He has his ass. That is exactly what he should have done. What were you saying, Garrett? I was saying, would you rather do the dishes or laundry? Laundry.
00:41:50
Speaker
like do the dishes and put them in the dishwasher? I don't do either. For the record, I don't do either of those things. I'm aware of what you don't do. Can I just do my real life where I don't do either of them and my boyfriend does? You've really like aced us last year. I don't know how to. I really lucked out. That's for sure. Yeah.
00:42:12
Speaker
I don't cook, I don't clean. Maggie said that she would rather do laundry than dishes and I thought that was wild. That is kind of wild. Are we talking about just unloading and loading the dishwasher? I'm talking about somebody cooked a big meal and you have to either hand wash or put the dishes in the dishwasher, let it run, take them out and put them back in the cupboard or you have to start the laundry, flip it, fold it and put it away.
00:42:37
Speaker
I would, I said I would rather do the laundry. I do laundry once a month and I have to cook almost daily. I think I would, if it's dishwasher, I'd rather do the dishes. Same. It's not that bad. The laundry, also the fact that the laundry is like not in unit for me is just like
00:42:57
Speaker
It makes it, I don't know why the barrier of having to go outside and walk down steps to unlock a door that like the key never seems to quite really understand how to unlock. It just is a lot and I hate it. So I don't do it. That's fair. Yeah, that's fair. Yeah. I actually don't know if Matt's doing my laundry or just his laundry this time around, but.
00:43:19
Speaker
He probably overheard you. Now he's just doing his. All right. Our number one sponsor this week is your local gym. They're really excited for you to make the resolution to go to the gym. They cannot wait.
00:43:36
Speaker
And all of the gym goers that are regularly there would love for you to ask them different questions, advice. Take their favorite machine at the time when they work out. Don't wipe it off. I'm kind of interested because I just marked my one-year gym membership anniversary, which is the longest I've ever held a gym membership and actually used it.
00:44:03
Speaker
I'm excited to see the change now that I go pretty regularly. I'm excited to see that kind of January influx that they talk about where the gym is like a different place because of all of the people who are going to do it for a month and then give up. I'm excited to finally be on the side of like, this is my gym. This is my space. You're my favorite bike. I can't wait to see the other side of the coin.
00:44:30
Speaker
I will say that having worked at the daycare at the Y for three years in high school, I hated January. It was always just the month of January. Everybody quit before the end of the month, but it would like triple number of kids in the daycare and we wouldn't have more staff. It was just that we had three times as many children to take care of for a month and then they would go away. So it sucked. All right. That's a good one. Yeah. Let's get back to it.
00:44:59
Speaker
All right. My number one resolution for 2024 is to do actual solstice and equinox celebrations this year.
Solstice and Equinox Celebrations
00:45:11
Speaker
Oh, I know. I'm so excited.
00:45:15
Speaker
Can we do like zooms where we do like kind of, I don't know, some type of ritual thing? Yeah. I want to start. I even made, I made a Google doc with my mom so that she could start filling stuff in for me. Cause I feel like she's got a lot of witchy ideas about things, but I would love to start doing, you know, like we always do like garlands and stuff in the winter for Christmas. I would love to do like a little spring garland or go like on a walk and notice all the like new spring things happening or
00:45:42
Speaker
I don't know. I'm making stuff up. I haven't figured it out. I think that's great. I think right over the winter solstice. Yeah, but that's the end one next year. Yeah, she's going to do four. She's going to do spring, summer, fall, winter. This is 2024. Yes, we're in 2024. It's too late to do the 2020. My church had a 2023 winter solstice, and I went to it. And I will tell you next time how it went.
00:46:11
Speaker
way to manifest that for yourself. I was thinking I was thinking about going to the Des Moines churches one, because I'll be down there that night and they're having one for winter solstice. Yeah. Okay. That'll be cool.
00:46:26
Speaker
OK, I mean, that's a pretty good one. I don't really have any. Like, do you have a plant? Like, have you thought a little bit about spring, for example? Like what? No, I'm very excited, though. I would like to do some sort of outdoor component each time. I would like there to be like maybe a dinner where like I invite a bunch of people over and then we eat like food from the season or something. Oh, I would like to have like a poem that I read every year on that day. I'm writing this down. I love tradition. You can be part of our Google talk.
00:46:55
Speaker
Hi, we're all I'll wear a Google Doc. I'll wear a Google Doc. That's right. Okay. Pippin's like chewing on my mic stand. Have you seen that video of that cat that will pretend to eat things? Chewy noises, riot. Too bad Pippin's not dumb like that. Poor smart.
00:47:19
Speaker
my number one New Year's resolution for 2024. It's actually a resolution I've had before. And I think I really loved it, did well at it. For some reason this year, maybe because again, see resolution number two of
00:47:35
Speaker
the price is not being what they used to be. I haven't been doing this as often. I want to get back to eating a poke bowl at least once a week. I did that as a resolution, I think in 2018, 2019, and it was the best. I didn't always manage to get to a poke bowl every week, you know, like it was actually kind of a little bit too much, but it gave me the permission to do this thing that I really love and not feel guilty about it.
00:48:00
Speaker
And it was like my favorite resolution that I've ever done. And this year I haven't really been having a lot of sushi or poke bowls. Um, in 2021 or 2022, I like taught myself how to make them myself like, and they've been really good. So I can make it myself, get them more, but I just need more of that in my life. It's been too long. Yeah. I would love to learn how to make a poke bowl.
00:48:23
Speaker
I mean, it's easy. It'd be even easier for you because you don't eat raw fish. It's just fucking tofu. Just fucking do it. Yeah, it's literally so easy, dude. What do you mean you'd like to learn how to make a... Isn't there something in the rice, like a vinegar or something? Yeah, takes like two seconds. It's rice vinegar.
00:48:40
Speaker
But then there's all these you know what is stressful to me is when a dish has so many different components Like you have to buy some edamame, but you're not gonna eat the whole bag of edamame You're just gonna eat a little bit you're gonna get some carrot shavings But you're only gonna eat like a half a cup of them and like you have to get all these different things I can't I don't even know how to respond to this. Yeah me either
00:49:01
Speaker
You know how I cook, though. I make a big batch of something. Also, you make things that have lots of components to them. Also, you could have people more than once in a week and use a lot of those components. You can have Grayson eat it. You have the fortune of living with somebody who you cook with and do things with. It'd be really easy. You could buy frozen edamame. Yeah. Shout out to Grayson for eating vegan 90% of the time. Literally. One of my non-podcast resolutions is to eat less dairy.
00:49:31
Speaker
as my, as a vegan. Wow. Yeah. Would you say you kind of tipped into vegetarian territory? Yeah. Italy really messed with me. Like really, really messed with me. Wow. So you've been calling yourself a vegan this whole year, but really. Oh, really. I have eaten cheese like five times. Vegetarian. It's been crazy. It's gotta be more than five. Cause you also went to New Mexico and you ate cheese on that trip. I did go to Mexico and eat cheese. You're right.
00:50:02
Speaker
My bad. I was like, when did Cara go to New Mexico? What's the city called? Mexico City. Right. It's not called New Mexico, I'll tell you that much. I like that she thought, she thought, vomit. Maybe there was a new one. Let's see what happens. My non-podcast food-related... Resurrections. Resurrections on the podcast. Is to eat dinner, eat my meals at a regular time.
00:50:30
Speaker
That's a really cool. It's when you know, I agree. I'm not being facetious as somebody who I feel like I need to eat breakfast. Like I'm not eating breakfast and I can tell when like on a day when I eat breakfast, I feel like.
00:50:47
Speaker
When I get hungry, how hungry I get is a lot more regulated. If I don't eat breakfast, I'm all over the place. Like my concentration is all over the place. And then I end up like eating these really big meals like late at night, like at 9 p.m. Like it's it's like really weird. And then I'm like up, you know, it's not because I can't go to bed directly after I eat a meal or I'm like, well, it's 10 p.m. I'm not I'm just going to go to bed. Yeah, I've done that a lot recently.
00:51:15
Speaker
It's not been good. All right. So what's your real number one, Mara? Wasn't my turn? Yeah. Yeah. Pokey Bulls. Was this the one that you were debating, putting out number two? No. My debate for number two was to yell less on my commute. I just don't know if I can commit to that. Honestly, I say yell more. Going with my number two, let's yell more.
00:51:37
Speaker
I want to be more vocal when people fuck up a zipper merge or when people don't let me in. I'm zipper merging correctly. Fuck you, man. Yeah. Fuck you. Be like, you care a supporter, you motherfucker.
00:51:52
Speaker
I yelled at somebody today because Bandy was on her very long... My dog was on a very long extended leash and she darted for some reason like towards the road and I got her in time it was fine but there were two cars driving one behind the other and the front person like slowed down just in case Bandy went into the road thank you very much first person second person honked
00:52:13
Speaker
And I was like, hey, because I was like, that person was trying not to hit my dog. And then I realized, like, also, you have to do that for insurance purposes, though. So I was like, I feel really bad for yelling at you. I'm so sorry. I wanted to, like, yell after her to apologize. Fair. Yeah, I think we should lean into the yelling because it's just you in the car. Let it out. And sometimes whoever I'm on the phone with. Oh, fair enough. Yeah, maybe limit that to low times.
00:52:40
Speaker
My number one 2024 news resolution is I would like to actually discover a safe way to remove wax from my ears and do it regularly. And I really think that'll be very satisfying.
00:52:56
Speaker
That's an interesting one. I had. I have also started doing this recently, weirdly, because I had my I can't remember which year it was. I think it was my right. When we were in Vietnam, it got completely clogged up and I couldn't hear. And it was like 50 percent clogged on the other side. And so I literally couldn't hear. And then we kept going on planes and stuff. And I was like, this is truly horrific. We had to get like the squeegee thing and the warm water, blah, blah. Finally, it worked.
00:53:20
Speaker
But I haven't used a Q-tip since because I'm freaking terrified of it happening again. And I've just been using like Q-tips are really not good for you. No, they're not. There's a thing you can get where it's like a teeny tiny little scalpel thing and it's attached to your phone. So there's an app so you can see there's like a little camera and so you can see what's going on while you're doing it and clean out your ear.
00:53:40
Speaker
Okay. I think you'd find that satisfying. I would love to watch that. Yeah. I don't want to, but I saw that and thought you both would like it. Yeah. Let me know when you get your ear cleaning under control. I'll come watch. Well, I'm not doing, I'm just using like Kleenex and getting out the ear. We should, yeah. We should learn how to do this and stream it. I bet there's a little market for that. There is a market. We could get millions of views on YouTube for that.
00:54:06
Speaker
That's all I gotta say. Me and my anime titties and my earwax were coming for the YouTube. I like that your sweater is like the color of earwax. No, I can't stop thinking about it. Thank you. Yeah, I will not be participating in that spinoff. Okay. Are there any honorable mentions? I had, I looked up, I was trying to look, I have a list of 19, by the way, that I was choosing from because I was so stressed. Oh my god.
00:54:33
Speaker
Um, but one of the things I did was I looked up celebrity ones from 2023 because I thought it would be a fun, like maybe they didn't do it or it would, you know, whatever. Can we guess, can we guess who made what resolution? I only have two and yeah, you can. Um, so resolution number one, which isn't a resolution. I hate this person, um, is quote, I don't hate anybody. You wrote it down though. I did.
00:54:57
Speaker
So it's a quote, peace and prosperity for all of us. Yeah. Gwyneth Altrow. Gao Godot. No. No. Can you give us a hint? Yeah. It's a politician. Was a politician. George. Diane Feinstein. Santas. Yeah. George Santas. Oh, wow. God. Eww. I thought that was so funny.
00:55:22
Speaker
Um, yeah, that's that one. And then I only have one more. Um, there was like three or four. I don't, this person didn't know how to calm down. Um, one is to live more in the present and less on their phone, uh, to refocus their priorities, making sure that quote me is high on the list and to allow themselves to feel their emotions. Spoken like a true, a neogram number two. Is this Jennifer, Jennifer Aniston? No. Oh, Julia Roberts.
00:55:51
Speaker
No. Can you give us a hint? For now we were guessing. Oh, who's that blonde woman? It is somebody that is on TV. Reality TV. Kim Kardashian. Snooki. Close to Marion's close. Chloe. No. Is it one of the Kardashians? Yeah. Kris Jenner. No. Kylie Jenner. So it's Kendall Jenner. Kourtney Kardashian. Kourtney Kardashian. What? Kourtney.
00:56:18
Speaker
I feel like we did a quiz today at work and one of the questions was, who is the oldest Kardashian? And my mid fifties man of a boss got the answer correct. The answer is Courtney, if you were going by the sisters.
00:56:33
Speaker
It's Courtney, Kim, Chloe. The first person answered Chloe and I was like, you poor soul. No. And then Kylie and Kendall. Chloe does give big a sister energy. So I understand. Courtney doesn't give big sister energy anyway. Okay. Well, now that we, you know, one of the funniest moments of my life is like when I was in high school, I was driving with my mom and I don't know why I like brought up
00:57:02
Speaker
I never paid attention to the Kardashians or anything. And I brought them up. My mom knew all of their names, who they were dating. And I was like, why do you know this? And she's like, oh, I just, you know, sometimes I watch the show if it's on. She's been saying that she has watched every episode. She never misses it. I know because we have a shared Hulu account. And now I watch it. And so I know because she watches it before me. So then I'm like out of place. Finally, a couple of weeks ago, I was like, you have to get your own
00:57:32
Speaker
Who like profile your own profile because you're messing up where I am in the Kardashians and I just couldn't believe I actually said that sentence like So annoyed But yeah, she and my and she's roped my dad into watching it now my dad has opinions. So oh my gosh
00:57:52
Speaker
I would love to listen to David tell me his opinions about the sisters or whatever. But my mom won't admit that she like I remember my mom was like, oh, I can't like the finale is that night. Like, but she always just says, oh, it's just on. No, it's not. It's not just on, mother. You make it happen. That is literally the definition of a guilty pleasure. Yes, I do. It sure is. I see you, Mary. All right. Well, any points? This is a hard one because it's so subjective.
00:58:20
Speaker
Yeah, I think we all did a great job. Negative one, Nikara, for the handstand. I agree. I wonder what that feels right. That feels right. No reason given. The reason is like the cockiness. The cockiness, it's not respecting the challenge of resolution. I don't know. It's just like your cockiness that you're going to be able to just pull this headstand out of your ass, basically.
00:58:49
Speaker
It's only given a negative point for that, but not for finishing two episodes of a TV show. That I believe will take you all year. I believe that will take you all year.
00:59:00
Speaker
We're not. We're going to do that one on December 15th before we like record our New Year's resolutions for 2025. You're going to be like, I have to do this before we record. It can't be on my list this year. And you'll only do it because one of us will have reminded you. I mean, I think about it quite often, actually. It's something I'm aware, very aware of because I want to know that or, you know, I want to get to the cliffhanger because I'm assuming there is one before season two. Who know who could say not the two people that have finished it.
00:59:31
Speaker
I'm gonna give a plus one to Mara for, can you remind me what yours for? This is bullshit. This shit is rigged. Well, while you're trying to remember, I was gonna give a plus one to Marianne for bowing to yell more about inflation. It like really brings out the old man joy. I think you meant like starting a revolution, because that's really what I never knew it's going to do.
01:00:01
Speaker
It's gonna have big effects. Just you wait and see. I give a plus one to Kara for the solstice one. I really liked that one. Nice. I'm back at zero. And then to Mara, I give a plus one to Kara. Can you remind me? I know there was one. I did. Making sure my car... I did the cleaning list, but making sure my card number doesn't change this year. That's what we ended up on. Yeah.
01:00:28
Speaker
And that's like a delay plus one. If you manage to complete the debit card, you will get a plus one in the future to whatever it's like a voucher basically for a plus one. Shut the fuck up. That's amazing. And I'm writing this down. I cannot forget. I made sure it didn't expire. I get my extra plus one point that I would like applied to this to this episode. Oh, I like that. Yeah, that's cute. I can't fucking wait. OK, well,
01:00:57
Speaker
It feels like I won. Only because you made my point be in the future and very contingent on if I actually do it.
01:01:05
Speaker
All right, look at me. I got the best resolutions, clearly. I definitely don't orchestrate it every episode to that island. Just a natural winner. That's the only reason I did this podcast was so that I could win every week. That's my real motivation. We talked about it behind your back beforehand. And in front of you. Say it to my face.
01:01:32
Speaker
I feel like we have. I don't know. I don't think so. I just wanted to make her do exactly what she did. So I got to win sometimes. Wow. You're just a master manipulator. Yeah, that's right. I think you won once this year. I think I won once. Yeah. Our super fans will log who won each. I'm going to go make nachos for dinner. So that's my big plan.
01:01:55
Speaker
I was really farty earlier and I was like, why am I farting? And it's because I had nacho cheese. You know what the thing is? It's like, you know, people listen to it. You know, people listen to this podcast and you still are like, yeah, ready to go with the farts and the shits, which I love and respect. I guess what I'm trying to say, I'm not saying it, but I love and respect it. You know what? Plus two for each bodily mention of yours. You're the winner of tonight's podcast. Congratulations, Tamara.
