Ep 11 - Ghee to G-Forces: Ayurveda Meets Adrenaline
83 Plays4 months ago
This week’s episode takes you on a wild ride—from Ayurvedic baby sleep hacks to navigating the depths of trapped emotions with the Emotion Code. We open up about intuition in practice, post-COVID reflections at Palmer Homecoming, and the healing (and tears) that surfaced along the way. Of course, no week is complete without a little chaos: one of us surprised our husband with the ultimate adrenaline gift—driving Ferraris and Lamborghinis on a racetrack (yes, Hoka shoes were involved). Between laughter, raw honesty, and a few unexpected stories (like the “dead brother under the house” parenting tactic), this episode blends chiropractic life, motherhood, and feral fun in our signature unfiltered style.

Natalie Richards
Cause it's not like you can, you can hold it
00:09:03
Felicia Devine
Yeah, because I'm a s sweaty person.

00:09:32
Natalie Richards
you kind of have to like get used to like what you're
00:09:37
Natalie Richards
some of them Some of them are harder.
00:09:38
Felicia Devine
Like I feel like I can get it.
00:09:39
Natalie Richards
yeah like There's another one you can bring your elbow into your side and like push down on your forearm. But I feel like i can I can fight that one a little bit too much. like I can't relax enough to actually make that one reliable for me.
00:09:48
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:09:51
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:09:51
Natalie Richards
So certain ones work way better for me. You can do the sway test if you want to.
00:09:53
Felicia Devine
Okay.
00:09:54
Natalie Richards
You can use a pendulum. When I'm at home and I'm testing my my supplements, I use a pendulum because I get a –
00:10:00
Felicia Devine
and Natalie, this is so cool. Yeah.
00:10:03
Natalie Richards
It's the coolest thing. So I hold a pendulum and if it's a yes and I hold it, I hold the supplement in my hand. If I'm supposed to take that, that, that month, it will go, it will start swinging forward to backward. And then if it's a no, it will go side to side.
00:10:22
Felicia Devine
I promise you Natalie's credibility is there.
00:10:24
Natalie Richards
swear I'm not a witch. I promise.
00:10:26
Felicia Devine
Like Natalie, Natalie has, has it down. She is not a witch.
00:10:31
Natalie Richards
But I've gotten really good at it. So like i can I can do that in two seconds and I know exactly if it's a yes or no.
00:10:37
Felicia Devine
Natalie, you really need to test people for like boy, girl pregnancies.
00:10:41
Natalie Richards
You can.
00:10:41
Felicia Devine
Cause i know, but you, cause you're good at this stuff, but then you're going to like blow it for them.
00:10:43
Natalie Richards
Yeah, I could. And I really could do that.
00:10:47
Felicia Devine
They're like, I don't want to find the gender.
00:10:47
Natalie Richards
you know.
00:10:48
Felicia Devine
And you're like, Oh,
00:10:48
Natalie Richards
Yeah, and they don't want to. And then i'm like, oo I want to know.
00:10:51
Felicia Devine
You're like, I'm just going to do this for my own anecdotal evidence.
00:10:53
Natalie Richards
I'm just going to keep that in my intuition and see.
00:10:55
Felicia Devine
Yeah. Yeah.
00:10:58
Felicia Devine
Okay. So back to your emotion code.
00:10:59
Natalie Richards
Okay.
00:10:59
Felicia Devine
So you did the, you did the coyote finger puppet.
00:11:00
Natalie Richards
So emotion code.
00:11:03
Natalie Richards
Yes.
00:11:03
Felicia Devine
Okay.
Chiropractic Education and Seminars
00:11:03
Natalie Richards
Okay. And then i'm also going to show you, not that people who are listening can see this, but it's a sheet and this is all of the emotions that you're like testing for.
00:11:09
Felicia Devine
This is okay.
00:11:14
Natalie Richards
So you, no, here's where it gets crazy.
00:11:17
Felicia Devine
You had to read that out loud.
00:11:21
Felicia Devine
Okay. Give it as if this isn't all crazy enough.
00:11:24
Natalie Richards
It's all weird. Okay.
00:11:26
Felicia Devine
Okay.
00:11:26
Natalie Richards
So there's two columns and then there are six rows.
00:11:33
Natalie Richards
the first question you ask, you don't even have to, you don't even,
00:11:35
Felicia Devine
Not me. Not me trying to process what row and column mean.
00:11:41
Felicia Devine
literally am like, okay, rows are, the column is up and down.
00:11:43
Natalie Richards
column is a and B, column A and B going up and down.
00:11:45
Felicia Devine
Okay.
00:11:47
Natalie Richards
And then there's six rows going across.
00:11:48
Felicia Devine
Rows are sideways. Okay. All right. I got stuck on that. Okay.
00:11:52
Natalie Richards
Okay. Okay.
00:11:53
Felicia Devine
Next.
00:11:56
Natalie Richards
So there's basically, what does that mean? There's 12 sections of emotions that you could be like pointed to. Okay. So you all you, you don't even have to have the person doing it, like read through the list.
00:12:10
Natalie Richards
I don't understand.
00:12:11
Felicia Devine
Okay.
00:12:12
Natalie Richards
There's something about energy of a written word and energy of a, of a spoken word that just, I don't know.
00:12:16
Felicia Devine
Yeah. Intention. Mm-hmm.
00:12:21
Natalie Richards
Okay. So you have this list. If I'm doing it on myself, I'm saying, okay, is there an emotion that's ready to be released? A trapped emotion ready to be released, not an emotion.
00:12:32
Felicia Devine
Mm-hmm.
00:12:34
Natalie Richards
Trapped emotion, that's important.
00:12:35
Felicia Devine
Okay.
00:12:36
Natalie Richards
And i I could do it on myself. Is there a trapped emotion ready to be released now? The answer is yes. I know I do. I have a lot more to do.
00:12:43
Felicia Devine
You're like, heck yeah!
00:12:45
Natalie Richards
Yes, there is. So then all I say, is the emotion, is the trapped emotion in column A? My answer would be yes right now. Is the emotion in column B?
00:12:57
Natalie Richards
I get a no. Okay. Okay. Then say, is the, literally it's so funny.
00:13:01
Felicia Devine
Are we doing a word search?
00:13:04
Natalie Richards
Then I say, is the emotion in an odd row? Because you're just kind of like deducting which section you have to get to.
00:13:09
Felicia Devine
Yeah, this is like Battleship.
00:13:11
Natalie Richards
Kind of. Yeah. It's literally a battleship.
00:13:13
Felicia Devine
Okay.
00:13:16
Natalie Richards
So then I say, is it in an odd row? Yes. Okay. So then is the emotion in row one? No. Is the emotion in row three? Three. So row three, column A, I would then go through, okay, is the emotion crying?
00:13:33
Natalie Richards
No. Is the emotion discouragement? No. Is the emotion rejection? Maybe.
00:13:39
Natalie Richards
Is the emotion sadness? No. Is the emotion sorrow? Sorrow. Okay. So sorrow is coming up as positive.
00:13:45
Felicia Devine
Okay.
00:13:46
Natalie Richards
Okay. So then you can ask, I know, then you can ask, do we need to know more about the emotion sorrow?
00:13:48
Felicia Devine
I wish it was rejection. I'm sorry.
00:13:56
Natalie Richards
And my answer is no. So then I would take either a magnet or my hand and I do this three times over my head. And I'm going to do it a couple more times just in case.
00:13:58
Felicia Devine
Okay.
00:14:08
Felicia Devine
because we We have a lot of sorrow. Okay.
00:14:11
Natalie Richards
Because we have like magnetic energy in our hands.
00:14:13
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:14:13
Natalie Richards
So you can use your hand or you can use a magnet.
00:14:13
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:14:15
Natalie Richards
It works the same way.
00:14:16
Felicia Devine
Okay.
00:14:17
Natalie Richards
That is going on the governing meridian, which is going to then basically transform that energy of that emotion and help your body release it.
00:14:19
Felicia Devine
Yeah. Release it.
00:14:26
Felicia Devine
Okay. Okay.
00:14:26
Natalie Richards
Then we ask, is the emotion of sorrow now released? Yes. So then you can move on. Some of them you have to then dig a little bit and you have to say, okay, do we need to know more about that emotion? If you get a yes, then you say, okay, you can like split your age. You can say, did it happen? Did it become trapped between the age of zero and 20?
00:14:50
Natalie Richards
Did it become trapped between
Surprise Supercar Experience
00:14:51
Natalie Richards
the age of zero and 20? 10, whatever.
00:14:55
Felicia Devine
Okay.
00:14:56
Natalie Richards
you can you kind of like deduct where it came from then you say age one, age two, age three, age four. And then sometimes that's all you need to know. Sometimes you have to know if you like observed that in somebody else.
00:15:07
Natalie Richards
Sometimes you have to say, you could ask like, was it from a death or was it from like something that just triggers something.
00:15:14
Felicia Devine
breakup or.
00:15:15
Natalie Richards
Yeah. And sometimes that's all you have to do. And then you get to a point where you say, do we need to know any more about that emotion? youve but Your body says, no, you can move on and you can clear it and then you don't do anything else.
00:15:28
Felicia Devine
That's incredible.
00:15:29
Natalie Richards
So you never really even have to know where it came from. Okay. So my first one, first emotion, like top of my mind, and top of my subconscious awareness
00:15:33
Felicia Devine
Wow.
00:15:42
Felicia Devine
Okay. Okay, give it to us.
00:15:44
Natalie Richards
was hatred.
00:15:46
Felicia Devine
but Natalie!
00:15:48
Natalie Richards
was like, what? Like, I don't have that emotion. Like maybe.
00:15:52
Felicia Devine
I could think um
00:15:59
Felicia Devine
I could think of a certain someone.
00:16:02
Natalie Richards
Well, sure. Okay. Yeah, that's true.
00:16:03
Felicia Devine
Maybe.
00:16:04
Natalie Richards
Yeah.
00:16:04
Felicia Devine
Maybe.
00:16:05
Natalie Richards
Yeah. yeah i
00:16:06
Felicia Devine
Who wronged you? I feel like that's...
00:16:07
Natalie Richards
I probably, yeah I probably do have it and I don't perceive it as that.
00:16:11
Felicia Devine
Yes. Exactly.
00:16:13
Natalie Richards
And maybe that's why it was trapped because I actually don't perceive it as that.
00:16:15
Felicia Devine
Yes.
00:16:18
Felicia Devine
I perceived it inside of you.
00:16:19
Natalie Richards
Because i write because i never really like fully expressed that emotion that maybe I should have.
00:16:19
Felicia Devine
Yes.
00:16:27
Felicia Devine
Yes. Yes.
00:16:29
Natalie Richards
Okay. So now you're helping me process.
00:16:31
Felicia Devine
Okay.
00:16:31
Natalie Richards
Okay. So the... That makes sense. But when I asked, like, do I need to know more? It said, no, I just had to clear it.
00:16:36
Felicia Devine
Yeah. it I don't think you needed to know more.
00:16:38
Natalie Richards
So it's done. i don't.
00:16:39
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:16:39
Natalie Richards
Yeah. Okay. So then the next one, um i apparently had like then a wall around my heart that I had to release.
00:16:48
Felicia Devine
Oh.
00:16:48
Natalie Richards
Cause then that's a whole other step to this is you may have a heart wall that's then preventing you from digging deeper into other things.
00:16:50
Felicia Devine
Okay.
00:16:52
Felicia Devine
yeah
00:16:55
Felicia Devine
Okay.
00:16:56
Natalie Richards
So then that one was jealousy. So I cleared that one. Then I had defensiveness come which is just funny.
00:17:03
Felicia Devine
Natalie, this is wild.
00:17:05
Natalie Richards
Yeah.
00:17:06
Felicia Devine
I'm going to be like mortified with my trauma. Okay.
00:17:10
Natalie Richards
But honestly, like we've probably experienced every single one of those emotions and sometimes you can process them.
00:17:10
Felicia Devine
So defensiveness.
00:17:15
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:17:18
Felicia Devine
Let it go.
00:17:18
Natalie Richards
Sometimes you can't.
00:17:18
Felicia Devine
yeah.
00:17:20
Natalie Richards
The other half of this is that there are some inherited emotions from generations back that you may not even be aware of, or you may have trapped that then prevents you from going through that emotion in a healthy way.
00:17:26
Felicia Devine
Mm-hmm. yeah
00:17:36
Felicia Devine
Right.
00:17:37
Natalie Richards
whenever you come come across that emotion in your life.
00:17:39
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:17:40
Natalie Richards
So there's like a lot of, there's so many pieces to it.
00:17:41
Felicia Devine
Wow.
00:17:43
Natalie Richards
And you just kind of keep asking questions. You keep doing sessions to like get deeper
00:17:47
Felicia Devine
Okay. Yeah.
00:17:50
Natalie Richards
So what else? um um Oh, so then i just started asking like random questions because then you can you can talk about a specific like time period if you want to.
00:18:01
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:18:02
Natalie Richards
and I, oh this will bring me into homecoming a little bit too because it was really interesting.
00:18:06
Felicia Devine
who
00:18:08
Natalie Richards
So I started asking, remember when I had kidney stones, like back when COVID was happening?
00:18:14
Felicia Devine
Oh my gosh, yes.
00:18:15
Natalie Richards
And it was like bad, like really bad.
00:18:17
Felicia Devine
Bad.
00:18:18
Natalie Richards
I had multiple. And i said, was there anything, any trapped emotion related to kidney stones? And my body said, yes. So
00:18:29
Felicia Devine
huh
00:18:30
Natalie Richards
it came up with the emotion peeved, which is kind of just like annoyed, pete like pissed off, annoyed, whatever.
00:18:36
Felicia Devine
Yeah. Okay.
00:18:38
Natalie Richards
i asked, I was like, okay, was that absorbed from a patient? And it said yes. So i had absorbed the peeved energy from somebody who came in probably pissed off, who knows, whatever.
00:18:48
Felicia Devine
I mean, that makes sense. We touch so many people.
00:18:50
Natalie Richards
Welcome to every day of my life.
00:18:53
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:18:54
Natalie Richards
People come in with all these emotions.
00:18:55
Felicia Devine
Literally. Yeah.
00:18:58
Natalie Richards
and So that had caused whatever. It had caused some kidney stones, whatever. It also happened to be during COVID, which then has this whole other like emotional component to the kidneys where there's like like the kidneys and bladder are
00:19:11
Felicia Devine
hey
00:19:17
Natalie Richards
are Blaming, dread, fear, horror, peeved, conflict, terror, unsupported. All of those emotions are related to the kidneys, which are very, a lot of that was like, was what we felt during COVID, I felt like.
00:19:30
Felicia Devine
Whoa.
00:19:35
Felicia Devine
Dark. Yeah. COVID. Yeah. Yeah.
00:19:39
Natalie Richards
So, yeah.
00:19:39
Felicia Devine
Like end of the world feelings.
00:19:41
Natalie Richards
Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Where it's like you don't know what's going to happen. So I was in a lecture at Homecoming this weekend, and which I guess I should – at Palmer.
00:19:46
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:19:53
Felicia Devine
At Palmer.
00:19:54
Natalie Richards
Yeah, it was like a like our yearly seminars that Palmer puts on.
00:19:54
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:19:59
Natalie Richards
that you can come back to the school and get a ton of continuing ed, ed stuff.
00:20:01
Felicia Devine
Do continuing ed. Yeah.
00:20:05
Natalie Richards
So that was and experience. I don't know. I'll i'll talk more about the experience. Sorry. My office phone is going off.
00:20:15
Felicia Devine
Is that you? i was like, i I thought an alarm was going off in my house and I'm home alone and I'm terrified.
00:20:16
Natalie Richards
I think it's mine. Yeah.
00:20:19
Felicia Devine
Okay.
00:20:21
Natalie Richards
After four rings, it should go off.
00:20:21
Felicia Devine
That's a you thing.
00:20:22
Natalie Richards
That's amazing.
00:20:25
Natalie Richards
Sorry, can't answer right now. So she starts talking about the lecture was on post-COVID patients and just like kind of in general, what are people experiencing now post-COVID?
00:20:33
Felicia Devine
Okay.
00:20:38
Natalie Richards
Like what are all the syndromes and and things? But she's
00:20:40
Felicia Devine
Post-COVID infection or post-COVID pandemic?
00:20:45
Natalie Richards
I'd say both post-COVID infection, pandemic and vaccine.
00:20:46
Felicia Devine
Okay.
00:20:48
Natalie Richards
She kind of like went through all of it.
00:20:49
Felicia Devine
Ooh.
00:20:51
Natalie Richards
So just like what are people experiencing?
00:20:51
Felicia Devine
Wow.
00:20:53
Natalie Richards
What did people experience? What does the research say? All this stuff. So it was cool. But she starts talking about how she had two kidney stones during COVID. And I was like, huh, very interesting.
00:21:05
Natalie Richards
So it was just kind of like a ah funny thing.
00:21:07
Felicia Devine
Wow. Like a full circle.
00:21:09
Natalie Richards
Yeah, it was. So then she she's talking about COVID and I literally, she's talking about just like her experience in her office and the unknown and all that stuff.
00:21:19
Natalie Richards
And I literally start like crying during her lecture because I started like feeling all the things that
00:21:22
Felicia Devine
What?
00:21:29
Natalie Richards
that we felt during that time. Like we, I had been open for six months when that happened.
00:21:34
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:21:34
Natalie Richards
Like you were going through the opening no afterwards, right?
00:21:37
Felicia Devine
Yeah. Yeah.
00:21:39
Natalie Richards
Yeah. Cause it was like, you were like a year after me.
00:21:39
Felicia Devine
I was opening during. Yeah.
00:21:43
Natalie Richards
So you were opening during COVID.
00:21:44
Felicia Devine
Mm-hmm.
00:21:45
Natalie Richards
So i opened, had all these wonderful ideas of what it was going to look like. And then six months later, it's like ah ah a switch is flipped. And I don't think I ever really, i don't think I ever processed that.
00:21:58
Natalie Richards
So i wrote down, I'm like, I have to do an emotion code about that because I need to like, I need to process some things from all of that that happened.
00:22:01
Felicia Devine
Wow. Clear it. Yeah.
00:22:06
Natalie Richards
Cause I just have been just moving forward constantly.
00:22:09
Felicia Devine
Right.
00:22:10
Natalie Richards
not even like taking a moment to live in the moment during all of that.
00:22:13
Felicia Devine
Wow.
00:22:14
Natalie Richards
And I've, I started feeling all of that while she was talking and I was like, holy cow, I have some things I need to work on.
00:22:22
Felicia Devine
I don't know if I've ever seen you cry, Natalie.
00:22:24
Natalie Richards
i don't hardly ever.
00:22:24
Felicia Devine
That's crazy.
00:22:26
Natalie Richards
It was wild. I was like, I'm, this is crazy. I obviously have some things that need to be addressed.
00:22:31
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:22:33
Natalie Richards
So
00:22:33
Felicia Devine
Wow. Wait, did you do your emotion code release before homecoming or after?
00:22:37
Natalie Richards
I did it before.
00:22:38
Felicia Devine
oh
00:22:39
Natalie Richards
And that's where I unlocked something.
00:22:39
Felicia Devine
You unlocked that like energy.
00:22:41
Natalie Richards
Mm-hmm.
00:22:41
Felicia Devine
Incredible.
00:22:43
Natalie Richards
Mm-hmm.
00:22:44
Felicia Devine
Incredible.
00:22:44
Natalie Richards
And that was truly, i will say, that was that was the last lecture on the full day that I was there.
00:22:52
Felicia Devine
Mm-hmm.
00:22:52
Natalie Richards
i was there for another half day. It was the only one where I was like, this is any any worth sitting in these classrooms, which is really awful.
00:23:00
Felicia Devine
I'm sorry. and disappointed. i went with you.
00:23:03
Natalie Richards
I know. Wow.
00:23:05
Felicia Devine
What was, what year was that? 2023.
00:23:09
Felicia Devine
Like the, it was the second I, yeah, no, it was the second I found out I was pregnant.
00:23:09
Natalie Richards
It was two years. It was definitely not last year, but the year before. Yeah. he
00:23:14
Felicia Devine
That was like the flight I took to go to Palmer homecoming.
00:23:17
Natalie Richards
Yeah, it was.
00:23:18
Felicia Devine
And honestly, I remember sitting through those lectures and feeling so disappointed
00:23:24
Natalie Richards
Yeah, but that was a bad year too.
00:23:26
Felicia Devine
It just felt like they didn't use any subluxation conversation. They weren't talking about actual chiropractic. They were talking about rehab and and
00:23:37
Natalie Richards
Yep.
Luxury Cars and Lifestyle Musings
00:23:39
Felicia Devine
all these other things that I was just like, and like super vague topics that I was just like, I'm sorry.
00:23:40
Natalie Richards
And just like through a research article, like,
00:23:46
Natalie Richards
you i can't use any of this in practical life.
00:23:48
Felicia Devine
Where's the philosophy?
00:23:50
Natalie Richards
I know.
00:23:51
Felicia Devine
No.
00:23:51
Natalie Richards
the It was,
00:23:52
Felicia Devine
It was disappointing.
00:23:53
Natalie Richards
oh
00:23:53
Felicia Devine
And honestly, as someone who like flew there, i just felt like, I don't think I want to make the trip again. and like, you're, you're in a like close proximity.
00:24:03
Natalie Richards
I'm within driving distance. So it's like an easy, it's an easy continuing ed credit to get.
00:24:04
Felicia Devine
Yeah. And in Illinois, do you have to have, so how many, what's your continuing ed, uh, things?
00:24:13
Natalie Richards
We have to have technically 150 every three years.
00:24:18
Felicia Devine
What?
00:24:21
Natalie Richards
i assert Half of those, I think, can be – half of those can be like reading journal articles and like – no, I'm not kidding.
00:24:23
Felicia Devine
What?
00:24:26
Felicia Devine
Are you kidding? Natalie, do you want to hear what Pennsylvania standards are?
00:24:31
Natalie Richards
Tell me. Yeah.
00:24:32
Felicia Devine
If you're local, stop listening. 24 hours every two years.
00:24:36
Natalie Richards
Oh my God. and No, like I have to, if I don't keep up with my CEs, like i in a tizzy by that third year.
00:24:44
Felicia Devine
Oh. Oh, my gosh. I mean, if you need a chiropractor, you better seek one in Illinois. They know their stuff.
00:24:53
Natalie Richards
Because we're licensed as as primary care physicians and like we're licensed the same way as all the other primary care doctors.
00:24:56
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:25:00
Felicia Devine
Doctors.
00:25:01
Natalie Richards
So we have the same guidelines, which is good and bad.
00:25:06
Felicia Devine
No, that's excellent.
00:25:07
Natalie Richards
It's good.
00:25:07
Felicia Devine
I mean, i probably do more than 24 hours every two years, but like, wow.
00:25:10
Natalie Richards
For sure.
00:25:13
Natalie Richards
i know. I do have to like – a lot of those can just be – you can say I read this book for 10 hours that was – so some of them are like self-reporting hours, but 50 of them for sure have to be in-person seminars every three.
00:25:16
Felicia Devine
I'm shocked. I thought you were going say 150 every 10 years.
00:25:26
Felicia Devine
Okay. Yeah.
00:25:30
Felicia Devine
Oh yeah.
00:25:33
Natalie Richards
So it still is a little more.
00:25:34
Felicia Devine
Let's wait. We need to plan a seminar to go to together.
00:25:37
Natalie Richards
We should. I'd love to.
00:25:37
Felicia Devine
Let's do that.
00:25:38
Natalie Richards
I was thinking – mean, have you ever done the Parker ones in Yeah.
00:25:39
Felicia Devine
No.
00:25:44
Felicia Devine
no
00:25:45
Natalie Richards
I'm just asking.
00:25:48
Felicia Devine
Parker, Vegas, here we come.
00:25:52
Felicia Devine
What time of year?
00:25:53
Natalie Richards
I think it's in February.
00:25:55
Felicia Devine
Let's do it. Well, that's ski season.
00:25:57
Natalie Richards
We'll see. It's ski-sie. I know that's the only reason why I've never gone.
00:25:58
Felicia Devine
Ugh, Natalie.
00:26:00
Natalie Richards
We'll figure it out.
00:26:01
Felicia Devine
I can't make plans during ski season.
00:26:03
Natalie Richards
I know. i know. Tell me about it. You sound like me.
00:26:05
Felicia Devine
Well, yeah, unless unless it's skiing with you.
00:26:07
Natalie Richards
but Unless it's ski-sie. I wish they would do like a seminar in like in the winter in Denver or something.
00:26:10
Felicia Devine
but oh We should do... wait We should look at like Utah or like Colorado or something and see if we can do a CE and then ski like Monday, Tuesday or something.
00:26:17
Natalie Richards
Yeah.
00:26:19
Natalie Richards
yeah
00:26:22
Natalie Richards
yeah let's make it happen
00:26:24
Felicia Devine
Okay. We'll do that.
00:26:26
Natalie Richards
So Palmer Homecoming was like – I also went into it in a very like blech mood.
00:26:26
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:26:30
Natalie Richards
I kind of – I woke up early.
00:26:31
Felicia Devine
Did you go alone?
00:26:32
Natalie Richards
yeah when I went alone. I was just like – I wanted to get in and get out, truthfully. So I kind of just – I'm like, I just want to get my credits. Get me out of here. Kind
00:26:42
Felicia Devine
How many did you do?
00:26:44
Natalie Richards
I did 12. So I did one full day and then like three hours the following morning.
00:26:45
Felicia Devine
Okay.
00:26:49
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:26:50
Natalie Richards
So it was fine.
00:26:51
Felicia Devine
Did you see anyone we knew?
00:26:53
Natalie Richards
Barely. i mean, i I like kind of from a distance saw people that I knew.
00:26:54
Felicia Devine
oh
00:26:57
Felicia Devine
oh
00:26:58
Natalie Richards
There were a couple a couple people who like said hi who I knew from like Dr. Malley's stuff.
00:27:03
Felicia Devine
Yeah. um I don't know if she got honored at homecoming or or not, but a girl from our class, Rachel, she got an award, like 10 under 10.
00:27:11
Natalie Richards
Oh, yeah. That's right. Yes.
00:27:15
Natalie Richards
I saw her from a distance yesterday.
00:27:15
Felicia Devine
And I think it's like, I saw, she just posted, or I saw the post today of her at homecoming with her fiance, but she was a girl in our class that opened her own practice about,
00:27:27
Felicia Devine
a couple months before me. I think she opened in like March of the same year I did, 2020.
00:27:33
Natalie Richards
Yeah, I think so.
00:27:34
Felicia Devine
And she has like a chiropractic and rehab multidisciplinary yeah practice.
00:27:39
Felicia Devine
Anyway, she got
00:27:39
Natalie Richards
Yeah, it's really cool.
00:27:41
Natalie Richards
Where is she? Is she in Lincoln? Lincoln, Nebraska, I think.
00:27:42
Felicia Devine
Lincoln, Nebraska, she got an award like 10 under 10.
00:27:43
Natalie Richards
Yeah.
00:27:46
Felicia Devine
I think it's like 10 chiropractors within their first 10 years of practice getting these awards.
00:27:51
Natalie Richards
Oh, cool.
00:27:52
Felicia Devine
It was really cool.
00:27:52
Natalie Richards

Felicia Devine
Love her.
00:28:16
Natalie Richards
So yeah, it was kind of just like, I probably could have gotten into it a little bit more. There were a couple, a couple good seminars. Like Erica Boland had a great seminar on TMJ and pelvic floor and that was cool.
00:28:27
Felicia Devine
Ooh, wait, combined.
00:28:28
Natalie Richards

00:37:18
Felicia Devine
And I'm like, trying to be nonchalant. I'm like, oh, it's just like, like not a big deal.
00:37:21
Natalie Richards
yeah
00:37:23
Felicia Devine
He's like, well, what do I wear? And I said, oh, just wear whatever, which is crazy because I always have an opinion about what he wears. And he's like, what? I'm like, wear whatever you want, Dan. He's like, okay. Yeah.
00:37:34
Natalie Richards
Are you sure? How do I dress myself?
00:37:36
Felicia Devine
He's like getting dressed in the morning and I'm like, yeah, like just like wear whatever you want. he was like, this is really suspicious so because you literally always have something to say. And mind you, i packed extra clothes for him because I was like, I obviously have a say.
00:37:47
Natalie Richards
Of course. is You already had it figured out. it did really, truly didn't matter what he put on
00:37:54
Felicia Devine
It didn't matter. He ended up not changing because he didn't need to, but I just like packed like extra like things in case he wanted something different.
00:37:59
Natalie Richards
Sure.
00:38:00
Felicia Devine
But, morning of, yes, I'm like, I have a secret bag of all the things i think you'll need.
00:38:02
Natalie Richards
Always have to have that control.
00:38:07
Natalie Richards
Don't worry, dan You can do whatever you want. Okay,
00:38:10
Felicia Devine
Wear your pajamas. It's fine.
00:38:13
Natalie Richards
anyway.
00:38:14
Felicia Devine
So the morning of I've still pulled this off.
00:38:15
Natalie Richards
Okay.
00:38:17
Felicia Devine
Like he has no idea. He goes, where are we going? Is it North, South, East, or West? And in my head, I'm like, that's a silly question, Daniel, because I have no idea where we're going. I know what it's called, where it is beyond me.
00:38:32
Felicia Devine
tell you if we're going North, South, East, or West.
00:38:34
Natalie Richards
Also, what a silly question.
00:38:34
Felicia Devine
No idea. Yeah. And he's like, I just want to like get my bearing straight.
00:38:38
Natalie Richards
going that way.
00:38:39
Felicia Devine
I go, if I tell you where we're going, you're going to know what we're doing.
00:38:42
Natalie Richards
who
00:38:43
Felicia Devine
So we were going to the Poconos Mountains and there's like a lake. Well, no, there's multiple lakes and then there's a raceway.
00:38:50
Natalie Richards
and Sure. There's two options.
00:38:51
Felicia Devine
And that to my knowledge, that's all you can do the Poconos Mountains.
00:38:51
Natalie Richards
Okay.
00:38:54
Felicia Devine
Either be on a boat or you can go to a racetrack. So I was like, if I tell him what direction we're going and he knows about how long it takes, he's going to look it up.
00:39:03
Natalie Richards
For sure.
00:39:03
Felicia Devine
He's an investigator. So I said, that is not for you to know. So it is...
00:39:08
Natalie Richards
Did you drive there? You
00:39:10
Felicia Devine
Of course not.
00:39:13
Natalie Richards
just plopped it in the GPS.
00:39:15
Felicia Devine
No, I just plopped the address and the GPS and didn't tell him where we were going.
00:39:19
Natalie Richards
Okay, perfect.
00:39:20
Felicia Devine
And I was like, follow the route. So it comes to the morning of, he still has no idea what we're doing, which is so great because I can't believe I kept a secret that way.
00:39:27
Natalie Richards
That's amazing. Mm-hmm.
00:39:30
Felicia Devine
We get in the car, we start driving and I look at his feet. And I'm like, oh no, I made a mistake. He was wearing hokas.
00:39:40
Natalie Richards
Oh my.
00:39:41
Felicia Devine
Do you know, if anyone doesn't know what a hoka shoe is, it's and the biggest profile shoe you could imagine.
00:39:45
Natalie Richards
Like a old tennis shoe.
00:39:51
Felicia Devine
It's a six inch platform.
00:39:56
Felicia Devine
Okay. It's the biggest shoe you could possibly purchase. All right. And I'm like, I brought him spare contacts. I brought him spare glasses. I brought him spare pants.
00:40:07
Felicia Devine
Okay. I did not bring him spare shoes. And I made such a mistake because I was like, oh, he I knew he was not going to like driving in a hoka because if he wears his hokas to work and Dennis use like foot pedals to run their drill, he doesn't like how he can't feel the foot pedal.
00:40:16
Natalie Richards
Driving in those. Mm-mm.
00:40:22
Natalie Richards
Mm-hmm.
00:40:25
Natalie Richards
you can feel it. You can't feel a dang thing.
00:40:27
Felicia Devine
OK, you feel the foot pedal of a dental drill. You're not going be able to feel the foot pedal of a Ferrari, honey. And I'm like, oh, I made a mistake.
00:40:36
Natalie Richards
Oh, no. no
00:40:37
Felicia Devine
And I didn't say anything because i was like, if I could mention something.
00:40:41
Natalie Richards
Feeney, the shoes are flipping.
00:40:41
Felicia Devine
Josephine?
00:40:44
Felicia Devine
She's sneezing now.
00:40:45
Natalie Richards
Feeney, do you feel me on the other end of this?
00:40:45
Felicia Devine
Okay.
00:40:48
Felicia Devine
yeah She does. She's like, Natalie, i want to come snuggle you.
00:40:50
Natalie Richards
I want to snuggle you too, Feeney. Oh,
00:40:53
Felicia Devine
So I don't mention the shoes because I'm like, if I mention the shoes, he's going to know he's driving. So I just like go, I just roll with it. So he has no idea what we're doing until the second we pull up to the racetrack.
00:41:05
Felicia Devine
Like there were zero billboards, thankfully.
00:41:05
Natalie Richards
wow. and oh wow
00:41:08
Felicia Devine
It was like the best thing ever. And he's like, why are we at racetrack? And I'm like, because you're driving cars today, Dan. And he was like so giddy.
00:41:19
Felicia Devine
He was so excited.
00:41:19
Natalie Richards
Oh, that's a adorable.
00:41:21
Felicia Devine
It was precious. And then he ah he ah he immediately was like, oh no, I'm wearing hokas. And I was like, yes.
00:41:26
Natalie Richards
did he for real? Oh, no.
00:41:30
Felicia Devine
He was so sad about that. And I felt horrible because I, in my control, could have brought him.
00:41:34
Natalie Richards
You thought of everything.
00:41:35
Felicia Devine
he has, like, barefoot shoes.
00:41:36
Natalie Richards
Yeah, exactly.
00:41:37
Felicia Devine
I thought of, i mean, I thought of his eyeballs. I thought of everything from the waist up.
00:41:40
Felicia Devine
Okay. So I was like, we'll figure it out. It's okay. so we get there, we sign in He's like so excited. go to this, we go to the training. You have to do like a training.
00:41:40
Natalie Richards
Dang.
00:41:51
Natalie Richards
Oh, I'm sure.
00:41:52
Felicia Devine
And they they go over like safety. They go over the colors of cones. They go over your instructor's hand signals and what everything means. Because you're not driving like on a circle track. You're driving racetrack with like... It looks like a Mario Kart track.
00:42:07
Natalie Richards
yeah Is it like angled?
00:42:07
Felicia Devine
Like a real racetrack with like...
00:42:08
Natalie Richards
Mm-hmm.
00:42:09
Felicia Devine
It's not angled, but there's like sharp hairpin turns and like straightaways and like zigzags.
00:42:12
Natalie Richards
Mm-hmm.
00:42:15
Felicia Devine
So like you're not just driving as fast as you can straight. Like you have to like handle the car, like slam the brakes.
00:42:18
Natalie Richards
Right. That's true. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:42:21
Felicia Devine
And they're like, they're like the harder you break, the faster you'll go.
00:42:21
Natalie Richards
who
00:42:25
Natalie Richards
Yes.
00:42:25
Felicia Devine
That's the only thing I learned from the safety briefing.
00:42:28
Natalie Richards
kidding.
00:42:28
Felicia Devine
I literally was so overwhelmed and i was like, thank God I'm not behind the wheel.
00:42:32
Natalie Richards
No kidding.
00:42:33
Felicia Devine
I was so overwhelmed. And like, it was Dan, 40 other guys. And then like another wife and I, I'm like, this is such a man's sport. Like the girls are not signing up to drive Lamborghinis.
00:42:44
Natalie Richards
Men need adrenaline. And I'm like, o please, I'm already stressed enough.
00:42:48
Felicia Devine
Like, like girls are signing up to like test drive Louis Vuittons, like not Lamborghinis. It was very overwhelming. So we go to like after the safety briefing, we go to the racetrack and it's just like Dan is literally smiling ear to ear.
00:43:04
Felicia Devine
He could have been happier. He just was like living his best life.
00:43:07
Natalie Richards
Precious.
00:43:09
Felicia Devine
He gets in the Ferrari and the instructor goes, oh, um you do you want to drive a different car? and Dan's like, uh-huh. And he's like, yeah, like your shoes are so big.
00:43:21
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:43:24
Felicia Devine
I guess the toe box of like a Ferrari is really narrow. So the pedals are so close together Dan's feet were like overlapping the pedals. And I was just like, I'm so sorry.
00:43:35
Natalie Richards
Why, side note, why does he own hokas like that?
00:43:35
Felicia Devine
Dan's like, no, it's fine.
00:43:40
Felicia Devine
I, well, he had like a knee problem but because I don't know why, but then he got hokas and they like have helped his knee problem.
00:43:42
Natalie Richards
Oh, okay. That makes it, so that cracks me up.
00:43:51
Felicia Devine
I know. So, so the guy was like, do you want a different car?
00:43:52
Natalie Richards
Okay, anyway.
00:43:57
Felicia Devine
Josephine, come here. Come. You got to stop winding. and he was like, no, I think I got this. And he was like, okay. So like he drove the Ferrari and he was like, I didn't love it.
00:44:08
Felicia Devine
i was nervous about the pedals. He just like was kind of on edge about it.
00:44:09
Natalie Richards
the
00:44:12
Felicia Devine
And then he goes to drive the Lamborghini and the Lamborghini is a bigger
00:44:14
Natalie Richards
yeah
00:44:17
Felicia Devine
footprint. I don't know what you call it.
00:44:18
Natalie Richards
Hoka friendly in case anybody's wondering.
00:44:21
Felicia Devine
If you want to drive a Lambo, you're allowed to wear Hoka's. And he like loved the Lamborghini. He's like, I'm a Lambo guy.
00:44:29
Natalie Richards
Wow.
00:44:30
Felicia Devine
And I was like, Whoa, I was like, and then, so I was like, okay, did this like itch your little skirt? Did this like scratch your little itch? And he goes, no, I'm itchier.
00:44:39
Natalie Richards
my
00:44:40
Felicia Devine
I'm so itchy.
00:44:40
Natalie Richards
Not surprised at all.
00:44:42
Felicia Devine
He goes, he goes, can we do this every year?
00:44:45
Natalie Richards
Poor decisions. Daddy's got
00:44:46
Felicia Devine
I said, well, mommy's got to get a second job. Okay.
00:44:50
Natalie Richards
to get us.
00:44:52
Felicia Devine
Daddy's got to get a second job because he paid for it, but it was so fun.
00:44:53
Natalie Richards
Yeah. That is fun. Oh my gosh. I love that. Of course.
00:44:57
Felicia Devine
Okay. So that's what I was doing Friday when you were texting me.
00:44:58
Natalie Richards
that is so fun
00:45:00
Felicia Devine
I was at the racetrack.
00:45:02
Natalie Richards
oh my gosh i love that
00:45:03
Felicia Devine
It was so fun. And then we had to get Giuseppe like a toy Lamborghini and it's like doors open and he like loves it.
00:45:07
Natalie Richards
of course Of course. Oh, I love, love, love, love that.
00:45:11
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:45:13
Natalie Richards
That's so cute.
00:45:13
Felicia Devine
And Dan, so fun. Dan loved it.
00:45:16
Natalie Richards
Oh, he's true he's going to come home with a car of some sort.
00:45:20
Felicia Devine
Yes.
00:45:21
Natalie Richards
Like, you know that.
00:45:21
Felicia Devine
And it's going to it's going to be a Lamborghini. I actually have a patient and her husband selling a Lamborghini.
00:45:27
Natalie Richards
Well, perfect.
00:45:28
Felicia Devine
Do you think we need it?
00:45:31
Natalie Richards
I think Dan's going to convince himself that he does.
00:45:31
Felicia Devine
No, I couldn't have
00:45:34
Felicia Devine
He's like, i'm going to sell my motorcycle and trade it up for a Lamborghini.
00:45:36
Natalie Richards
So all the vehicles Felicia gets to ride a bike to work.
00:45:41
Felicia Devine
I'm on a moped. No, that would be crazy.
00:45:46
Natalie Richards
Felicia gets to drive a hoopty, which is what Kyle calls it.
00:45:47
Felicia Devine
No, one point.
00:45:50
Felicia Devine
Oh, what?
00:45:51
Natalie Richards
A hoopty. A hoopty is like a a vehicle you drive when you don't want to drive your nice vehicle.
00:45:57
Felicia Devine
Oh.
00:45:58
Natalie Richards
So you have two vehicles. and This is like a common thing by where we live.
00:46:01
Felicia Devine
Oh.
00:46:03
Natalie Richards
Like everyone has a nice truck and then they have the, but they drive on the daily, ah ah shitty car.
00:46:06
Felicia Devine
Okay.
00:46:11
Felicia Devine
Okay, my husband does that. He has his Honda Element still.
00:46:14
Natalie Richards
That's, that's exactly and Dan has a hoopty.
00:46:15
Felicia Devine
You know what he drove today? Dan drove his Honda Element today.
00:46:19
Natalie Richards
Exactly. Exactly.
00:46:20
Felicia Devine
He drives that if he knows he's not going Giuseppe or me. i won't I will not sit in that car anymore.
00:46:23
Natalie Richards
Right. There's something about, I don't know what it is.
00:46:27
Felicia Devine
There's holes in the
00:46:27
Natalie Richards
i don't know what that it's i don't know what the allure is. But Kyle had, yeah, Kyle drove a rusty Dodge Neon when he didn't want to put miles on his truck.
00:46:38
Felicia Devine
It's kind of unassuming.
00:46:40
Natalie Richards
Like, it's so funny.
00:46:40
Felicia Devine
I kind of like it. Like we're undercover. We're literally undercover in this Honda element.
00:46:47
Natalie Richards
true. So anyway, Kyle calls it a hoopty.
00:46:50
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:46:51
Natalie Richards
Yeah.
00:46:51
Felicia Devine
Okay. Dan, Dan used to take me skiing in the Honda element before we had our other cars and there's holes quite literally holes in the passenger floorboard.
00:46:57
Natalie Richards
Yeah.
00:47:01
Natalie Richards
Literally holes in the, oh my gosh.
00:47:03
Felicia Devine
So I would wear ah ah sleeping bag as a passenger.
00:47:07
Natalie Richards
Because it was blowing because you were like skiing.
00:47:08
Felicia Devine
cold. Yeah.
00:47:11
Felicia Devine
It was like literally January in the middle of the night driving up to Vermont and I'd be wearing a sleeping bag and ski boots or not ski boots, like hiking boots.
00:47:18
Natalie Richards
Oh my gosh.
00:47:19
Felicia Devine
And I hate a sleeping bag and I was wearing a sleeping bag in the car.
00:47:21
Natalie Richards
Out of necessity.
00:47:22
Felicia Devine
So, yeah.
00:47:23
Natalie Richards
That's so funny. There's something about, there is something about just like having, i don't know, with men and and adrenaline and cars and all of that.
00:47:25
Felicia Devine
So.
00:47:32
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:47:34
Natalie Richards
Like it's very real. Kyle was like, he was considering, he was like, oh, maybe I'll work for your dad at tree care and all that stuff.
00:47:37
Felicia Devine
I don't know.
00:47:43
Felicia Devine
it
00:47:43
Natalie Richards
And then he's like, I would have to have a hobby. Like I'd have to go like get a motorcycle or like ah do something they very dangerous.
00:47:47
Felicia Devine
Do something. yeah I,
00:47:52
Natalie Richards
And he used to ride motorcycles all the time, but I don't think he would do that again. But
00:47:56
Felicia Devine
him to sell the motorcycle. Cause I think that's just like crazy.
00:48:00
Natalie Richards
I agree. That's, that's scary.
00:48:03
Felicia Devine
And he rides a bicycle on the road, probably 10 plus hours a week.
00:48:03
Natalie Richards
Motorcycles are scary.
00:48:09
Natalie Richards
Yeah. Doesn't that give him enough thrill?
00:48:11
Felicia Devine
Yeah, that's what I said.
00:48:12
Natalie Richards
I know it's not the same thing.
00:48:12
Felicia Devine
I said, no, but like in my opinion, I'm like, okay, if you ride your bicycle, you're getting workout, you're improving your mental health because he does he rides his bike for his mental health and you are doing something like not productive for society, but like you're not like damaging the world.
00:48:22
Natalie Richards
Mm-hmm. Yep.
00:48:32
Felicia Devine
Like, you know, like you're not creating emissions.
00:48:33
Natalie Richards
Totally.
00:48:34
Felicia Devine
You're not like your carbon footprint is like negative when you're riding your bicycle.
00:48:38
Natalie Richards
true.
00:48:39
Felicia Devine
Okay. And you're not playing video games. You're not doing like bad things.
00:48:42
Natalie Richards
Mm-hmm.
00:48:43
Felicia Devine
Like I love that he rides a bicycle and he does it with like his buddies.
00:48:46
Natalie Richards
Yes.
00:48:48
Felicia Devine
And it's just like the boy time. The motorcycle though, literally no benefit. I'm like at any point, there's nothing good happening.
00:48:55
Natalie Richards
and nothing beyond adrenaline. Yeah.
00:48:59
Felicia Devine
And I'm like, you're getting adrenaline riding your bicycle.
00:49:00
Natalie Richards
Yeah.
00:49:01
Felicia Devine
So like, why do you have to ride a motorcycle? the The bicycle is dangerous, but at least has like net positive effect.
00:49:08
Natalie Richards
Right. In general, it should be positive.
00:49:09
Felicia Devine
In general. Yeah. And like, I will never take them off a bicycle.
00:49:12
Natalie Richards
Danny.
00:49:12
Felicia Devine
i cannot take Dan off a bicycle. Dan, Dan married a bicycle before he married me. Like that kid loves a bicycle.
00:49:18
Natalie Richards
Oh, yes, he did. That was, that was a for sure.
00:49:21
Felicia Devine
Yeah. So I'm like, never in my right mind would I ever tell Dan he can't ride bikes, but I can certainly tell him no motorcycles.
00:49:26
Natalie Richards
No.
00:49:29
Natalie Richards
Yeah, I would agree.
00:49:30
Felicia Devine
Yeah. So
00:49:31
Natalie Richards
But then he's just going to come home with a car.
00:49:35
Felicia Devine
with a Lamborghini, can babies ride in Lamborghinis?
00:49:39
Natalie Richards
I don't think they have a back door. Do they? Do they even have a back seat?
00:49:42
Felicia Devine
I don't know. don't, I've never been in one.
00:49:43
Natalie Richards
and don't know the answer.
00:49:45
Felicia Devine
I'll ask Dan when he gets up.
00:49:45
Natalie Richards
I don't know the answer to that at all. No idea.
00:49:48
Felicia Devine
I couldn't tell you. I, I had no desire to be inside.
00:49:50
Natalie Richards
I don't know if there are... Well, they make the Lamborghini SUVs now.
00:49:56
Felicia Devine
Oh, I've seen that on selling sunset.
00:49:58
Natalie Richards
hu
00:49:59
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:50:00
Natalie Richards
Those have four doors.
00:50:00
Felicia Devine
Natalie, i you know many body parts I would have to sell to afford a Lamborghini SUV? What are those costs?
00:50:09
Natalie Richards
oh they're at least 250. two fifty
00:50:13
Felicia Devine
Wow.
00:50:14
Natalie Richards
Like an unimaginable number.
00:50:18
Felicia Devine
No, not for me.
00:50:19
Natalie Richards
That's what G-wagons are though too
00:50:22
Felicia Devine
Really?
00:50:22
Natalie Richards
Yes, like a new G-wagon. 200 plus. two hundred plus
00:50:26
Felicia Devine
Those look like they're just going to tip right over in the wind.
00:50:28
Natalie Richards
They sure do. that i
00:50:29
Felicia Devine
Do they have like safety ratings?
00:50:30
Natalie Richards
Going around a corner, those cannot be stable.
00:50:35
Felicia Devine
I didn't know that's what G-Wagons cost.
00:50:37
Natalie Richards
That's insane. And you can't even buy them.
00:50:38
Felicia Devine
No one around here drives G-Wagons. Let's be real.
00:50:40
Natalie Richards
insane. It's a whole – I'm so unrealistic.
00:50:44
Felicia Devine
Do people drive nice cars where you are?
00:50:45
Natalie Richards
i like I dive down these like uber luxury like Instagram scrolls about AirMess bags and G-Wagons and stuff.
00:50:55
Felicia Devine
Oh my gosh.
00:50:56
Natalie Richards
And it's just like stupid. It's stupid. But I like learning about them because I want to know like who – are people really, really dumb like that?
00:50:59
Felicia Devine
I
00:51:07
Natalie Richards
to buy this stuff or to like buy into the allure of like waiting on a wait list for two years to get something.
00:51:07
Felicia Devine
don't know.
00:51:13
Natalie Richards
I think that's unbelievable.
00:51:15
Felicia Devine
Wait, speaking of two year wait list for a vehicle, my husband's on a, he put a deposit down.
00:51:17
Natalie Richards
Okay. Yes. What?
00:51:25
Felicia Devine
Dan, I can't, I literally can't keep up Natalie.
00:51:27
Natalie Richards
For what?
00:51:29
Felicia Devine
A slate truck.
00:51:30
Natalie Richards
the hell was that?
00:51:32
Felicia Devine
I think it's Elon Musk is coming out with a truck.
00:51:36
Natalie Richards
Oh, it's like a pickup truck?
00:51:37
Felicia Devine
Not it's, it's a pickup truck. It's not ah ah electric. Maybe I don't think it's a lot trick.
00:51:41
Natalie Richards
It's gotta be
00:51:43
Felicia Devine
No.
00:51:43
Natalie Richards
He's moving away from electric vehicles?
00:51:46
Felicia Devine
They're literal, like rudimentary, like very basic pickup trucks.
00:51:52
Natalie Richards
Yeah. Okay. Kyle would probably love that.
00:51:55
Felicia Devine
I know. and um'm But like Dan put a deposit down.
00:51:57
Natalie Richards
Two years.
00:51:59
Felicia Devine
And we got a postcard in the mail like a month ago and it was like slate truck. I'm like, wait, you actually, I mean, let's hear the deposit was $20.
00:52:07
Natalie Richards
ah Sure. Enough to like be on the list.
00:52:09
Felicia Devine
But like, you know how many people probably put their deposit down?
00:52:12
Natalie Richards
$20 deposit. Yeah.
00:52:13
Felicia Devine
Yeah, so they probably are like funding their their startup with these $20 deposits.
00:52:17
Natalie Richards
What?
00:52:18
Felicia Devine
So yeah, we have a slate truck in our future.
00:52:21
Natalie Richards
That is funny.
00:52:22
Felicia Devine
And then I remember he was like, okay, so like the slate truck, you can like add on things. So like at its bare minimum, it's probably like 15 grand or something.
00:52:32
Natalie Richards
Wow.
00:52:33
Felicia Devine
And then you can add features.
00:52:34
Natalie Richards
And you can just, if you want like a and a window that actually rolls down with the button.
00:52:37
Felicia Devine
Yeah. Rolls. Yeah.
00:52:40
Natalie Richards
There
00:52:40
Felicia Devine
And then you can add like a shell to the truck bed, like all these things.
00:52:43
Natalie Richards
we go.
00:52:43
Felicia Devine
So who knows what it's going to turn into.
00:52:43
Natalie Richards
we're talking. Okay.
00:52:45
Felicia Devine
It it started, he's like, Oh, it's an affordable vehicle.
00:52:49
Natalie Richards
who
00:52:50
Felicia Devine
And we'll see. We'll see Dan.
00:52:51
Natalie Richards
who
00:52:52
Felicia Devine
He's like, I'm going to switch it for a Lamborghini motor.
00:52:56
Natalie Richards
there we go now we're talking and
00:52:58
Felicia Devine
Yeah. So more vehicles are in my future. i just need to get rid of some.
00:53:01
Natalie Richards
That's so funny. Yes, you do.
00:53:03
Felicia Devine
I need to get rid of some.
00:53:04
Natalie Richards
Yes, you do. That is so funny.
00:53:05
Felicia Devine
Yeah. I know. But Dan had a blast. It was like the best ever watching him just grin ear to ear. And yeah, it was precious.
00:53:11
Natalie Richards
That's adorable.
00:53:13
Felicia Devine
And then, yeah, he wants to do it again.
00:53:14
Natalie Richards
That's adorable.
00:53:16
Felicia Devine
So we're going to chase the experience around U.S.
00:53:17
Natalie Richards
Oh, my gosh. Of course he does. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
00:53:22
Felicia Devine
Racetrack to racetrack. This guy in line we talked to?
00:53:24
Natalie Richards
I've seen that come come across. like come
00:53:26
Felicia Devine
You should take Kyle.
00:53:27
Natalie Richards
I should. He would love it.
00:53:29
Felicia Devine
He would love it. we The guy we were in line with, it was his third time.
00:53:31
Natalie Richards
well Oh my gosh.
00:53:34
Felicia Devine
Yeah, he's like, oh, I don't i do this, like, often.
00:53:36
Natalie Richards
When Kyle got home from his deployments, they got like, he signed on for another, i think another tour. So they get like a sign on bonus when they, when they like determine that they're going to go back overseas and they'd come back and they would just, I mean, they got like
00:53:45
Felicia Devine
Okay. Yeah.
00:53:50
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:53:56
Natalie Richards
I don't think I'm making this up. I think it's like a $30,000 like lump sign on bonus.
00:54:01
Felicia Devine
Whoa.
00:54:01
Natalie Richards
And they literally would come back from being in a and Afghanistan or wherever they were and they just live their lives and like rent Ferraris.
00:54:06
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:54:09
Natalie Richards
And like they, so they blew through it. He and all of his friends would blow through all of their, so I mean, I get it and after being away for so long.
00:54:15
Felicia Devine
Yeah. Well, and also when you're living overseas, you're probably just pocketing your paycheck, right?
00:54:21
Natalie Richards
For sure.
00:54:21
Felicia Devine
Mm-hmm.
00:54:21
Natalie Richards
For sure. So they would go and like just like live their best lives and like and drive around with these literally.
00:54:28
Felicia Devine
They're down in Miami. Yeah.
00:54:31
Natalie Richards
They're in like the Keys and like I think it was in Florida.
00:54:34
Felicia Devine
Oh my gosh. What a life.
00:54:36
Natalie Richards
It's so funny.
00:54:36
Felicia Devine
Honestly though, if you're risking your life overseas and living in the conditions they're living in, when you get home, ah ah do it up, live it up, rent the, rent the high end car.
00:54:38
Natalie Richards
know.
00:54:40
Natalie Richards

Natalie Richards
Whatever.
00:54:57
Felicia Devine
The future child that you didn't know you were going have.
00:54:59
Natalie Richards
Exactly.
00:55:00
Felicia Devine
Yeah. Yeah.
00:55:01
Natalie Richards
So at that time, he didn't think he was going to live past the age of 30.
00:55:04
Natalie Richards
that's how I get it.
00:55:05
Felicia Devine
Yeah. Well, i mean, that's a scary lifestyle to be living.
00:55:09
Natalie Richards
I know. You kind of like get wrapped up in that in that over and over and over.
00:55:10
Felicia Devine
i can imagine. Yeah. Yeah.
00:55:14
Natalie Richards
so
00:55:14
Felicia Devine
That's sad.
00:55:16
Natalie Richards

Felicia Devine
Oh. Oh. Yes. Yes, yes, yes.
00:55:24
Natalie Richards
