Ep 7 - The Hills We'll Die On (yes, ski hills included)
106 Plays5 months ago
This week, we spiral from ski trips and Uncrustables to why Banff hotels are suspiciously cheap, and somehow land on the sacred hills we’re willing to die on. Spoiler: straws are canceled, food dyes are evil, and public self-awareness might save your life (or at least your groceries). Between fur coats, ski joring fashion contests, toddler dye-induced possession, and Kyle’s K9 partner Gator scaring sense into grown men, this episode is chaotic in all the right ways. Come for the tangents, stay for the unsolicited life lessons.

Natalie Richards
I know.
00:02:21
Natalie Richards
You lucky dog, you.
00:02:22
Felicia Devine
My commute is 10 steps to the left and 10 steps to the right.
00:02:28
Natalie Richards
i am actually going to try to convince my parents to like stay at the ski resort for like a night, like come up for a few days up north and then just like stay overnight ski from the house there.
00:02:34
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:02:37
Felicia Devine

00:02:39
Felicia Devine

Vail Ski Resort: Luxury and Convenience
00:02:42
Felicia Devine
One time we went to Vail with Dan's family and we stayed at the base of the mountain.
00:02:48
Natalie Richards
Yeah.
00:02:48
Felicia Devine
That was the craziest experience.
00:02:49
Natalie Richards
It's the best.
00:02:50
Felicia Devine
You literally walk out. You walk one and a half minutes to the gondola.
00:02:55
Natalie Richards
Yep.
00:02:56
Felicia Devine
It's insane.
00:02:57
Natalie Richards
There's nothing like it.
00:02:59
Felicia Devine
No. And then we would come back to the condo and like take a nap and eat lunch and then go back out for the afternoon.
00:03:02
Natalie Richards
I know.
00:03:03
Felicia Devine
i was like, what is this life? It was so crazy.
00:03:06
Natalie Richards
It's amazing. Yeah, my cousin – like you shuttle –
00:03:07
Felicia Devine
Cause growing up, we didn't do that. We, yeah, we drove and it was like, here's your peanut butter and jelly. And you're never napping until the day is over and you're skiing first chair to last chair.
00:03:14
Natalie Richards
but
00:03:17
Natalie Richards
yeah Here's your Nutri-Grain bar that's crumbled by the time you open it up.
00:03:22
Felicia Devine
Here's your frozen chewy bar.
00:03:26
Felicia Devine
from last season in your ski coat from last season.
00:03:28
Natalie Richards
Literally. Oh, you forgot to make
00:03:30
Felicia Devine
Oh,
Uncrustables: The Ideal Ski Snack
00:03:31
Natalie Richards
a peanut butter and jelly?
00:03:32
Natalie Richards
ooh Oh, you were saying you like Uncrustables.
00:03:35
Felicia Devine
I was just about to say the life hack.
00:03:35
Natalie Richards
Is that what you were going to say?
00:03:37
Felicia Devine
Yes. The life hack to skiing is Uncrustables.
00:03:40
Natalie Richards
When you told me that, I was like, pardon? Like, what are we doing buying Uncrustables? Yeah.
00:03:45
Felicia Devine
Honestly, the only market it should be in for is the ski season.
00:03:49
Natalie Richards
Ski season. Okay.
00:03:50
Felicia Devine
It should not go in your kid's school lunch. It needs to go in your kid's ski coat pocket.
00:03:52
Natalie Richards
I still unsure if I will ever purchase Uncrustables.
00:03:57
Felicia Devine
Natalie.
00:04:00
Natalie Richards
I don't think I can do it.
00:04:01
Felicia Devine
Natalie.
00:04:02
Natalie Richards
The
00:04:02
Felicia Devine
The seed oils are calling. You need it
00:04:06
Natalie Richards
high fructose corn syrup and oh my God.
00:04:07
Felicia Devine
Yeah. Okay. I think you make devices that you can make your own uncrustable, though.
00:04:12
Natalie Richards
You can. they do
00:04:13
Felicia Devine
Really. No one wants crust when they're on a ah mountain. It's too dry. That's, I think, the point.
00:04:18
Natalie Richards
That's true. Yeah.
00:04:19
Felicia Devine
Like, the air, it's cold and it's dry. And then if you stick crust in your mouth, ugh.
00:04:25
Natalie Richards
That's e No.
00:04:26
Felicia Devine
No. And the great thing about Uncrustables is they are better frozen. Like they, the quality goes up when they're frozen.
00:04:33
Natalie Richards
Can I tell you I've never had one? I never never have had one.
00:04:36
Felicia Devine
The only time I had one was on a ski mountain.
00:04:40
Natalie Richards
So I don't even know.
00:04:40
Felicia Devine
We bought them. We bought them last time we were in Park City for that ski trip.
00:04:44
Natalie Richards
That's so funny. Yeah, I still don't.
00:04:45
Felicia Devine
I know.
00:04:45
Natalie Richards
I still didn't eat one. know.
00:04:48
Felicia Devine
That's, that's a, your problem. That's not a me problem. I probably ate yours.
00:04:55
Natalie Richards
I'm also the person who is buying the food on the mountain, though. like
00:04:59
Felicia Devine
Right.
00:04:59
Natalie Richards
ah ah Like a $20 bowl of chili?
00:04:59
Felicia Devine
So next time, but next Park City trip,
00:05:02
Natalie Richards
Sure. Sign me up.
00:05:05
Felicia Devine
you're like Coors Light for $19 a pint. Sure.
00:05:10
Natalie Richards
Could never.
00:05:10
Felicia Devine
Tastes better.
00:05:11
Natalie Richards
Oh, my God.
00:05:12
Felicia Devine
i know. no One time Dan tried to order a Coors Light at the, were in the Canyons.
00:05:19
Natalie Richards
Uh-huh.
00:05:20
Felicia Devine
And we were at the base. So it was like a more restaurant, not like a cabin or like not one of the, the up mountain things, but she, he ordered a Coors Light.
00:05:22
Natalie Richards
and
00:05:27
Natalie Richards
Yeah.
00:05:30
Felicia Devine
She laughed in his face. He, he's like, what's funny. She's like, we don't carry Coors Light. I was like, Oh, it was crazy.
00:05:37
Natalie Richards
That's so funny because it's like a Colorado thing.
00:05:40
Felicia Devine
I think Yeah. Well, and I think Dan was like, okay, well, like, what's your lightest beer? Like, it wasn't that Dave was trying to be cheap. He was just like, I don't want a heavy beer.
00:05:51
Felicia Devine
And she was like, no, we don't carry Coors Light.
00:05:52
Natalie Richards
Because Utah is so weird with their liquor laws and they – think now they've since changed it, but beer like brewed in Utah –
00:05:53
Felicia Devine
Yeah. Yeah.
00:06:04
Natalie Richards
that they sell at a grocery store or at a restaurant was like, I think like three and a half percent. Like they had to make it specifically for, for Utah.
00:06:11
Felicia Devine
Oh, a percentage. and
00:06:15
Natalie Richards
So you're paying like $20 to have zero alcohol.
00:06:16
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:06:20
Natalie Richards
and it's like, why even drink it?
00:06:21
Felicia Devine
Yeah. Yeah.
00:06:23
Natalie Richards
But it's funny.
00:06:24
Felicia Devine
Remember we did that tasting at the distillery in Park City with Brian and Jason and it was like Utah liquor.
00:06:30
Natalie Richards
Oh yeah. Yeah.
00:06:35
Felicia Devine
What was it?
00:06:37
Natalie Richards
Were we at the at the wo at the wine place or we were at...
00:06:37
Felicia Devine
It was some minor camp. No. i No, it was like whiskey or something. It was horrible.
00:06:46
Natalie Richards
Yeah, they had a distillery. That's right. It was gross.
00:06:49
Felicia Devine
It was so bad. I literally was like, do you guys have any Sprite to chase this with? And he was like, you can have water. And I was like, what? You don't have chasers?
00:06:55
Natalie Richards
Utah wild.
00:06:56
Felicia Devine
He's like, this is a tasting. And I was like, no, it was crazy.
00:06:58
Natalie Richards
Yeah.
00:07:01
Felicia Devine
So we we derailed that conversation. I don't know where we were going with it.
00:07:06
Natalie Richards
I don't either.
00:07:07
Felicia Devine
Uncrustables, skiing.
00:07:08
Natalie Richards
oh God, skiing. Yeah. Okay. ah ah yeah
00:07:10
Felicia Devine
We need to figure out our ski trip this year.
00:07:12
Natalie Richards
I know. i don't even know what I want to do.
00:07:16
Felicia Devine
I think maybe January, February.
00:07:18
Natalie Richards
Yeah. I don't even, yeah I can probably make that happen.
00:07:22
Felicia Devine
Yeah. And it doesn't even have to be our big group anymore.
00:07:24
Natalie Richards
No, i think we need to do something.
00:07:25
Felicia Devine
It can be our little group.
00:07:26
Natalie Richards
i know.
00:07:27
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:07:28
Natalie Richards
i like almost want to come up here or something. i don't know.
00:07:31
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:07:31
Natalie Richards
I was so turned off. I don't know why. i was so turned off by the West last year. Well, isn't that weird?
00:07:37
Felicia Devine
What? That's so unlike you. That's your personality.
00:07:40
Natalie Richards
I know.
00:07:41
Felicia Devine
You are a West girly.
00:07:41
Natalie Richards
I remember like, I know it was so weird. i was like, this feels different.
00:07:45
Felicia Devine
Oh, no.
00:07:47
Natalie Richards
It's too commercialized.
00:07:49
Felicia Devine
Is it too, i was going to say too epic pass, Vail?
00:07:53
Natalie Richards
Yeah, it's it's gotten really like not great.
00:07:56
Felicia Devine
Because Vail bought at everyone.
00:07:58
Natalie Richards
hu So like 10 years ago, Park City compared to like what it is now, I'm kind of like, I got the ick a little bit last year.
00:08:00
Felicia Devine
Oh, no.
00:08:08
Felicia Devine
Guess we need to go to Japan.
00:08:09
Natalie Richards
So guess we're going to Austria. Switzerland.
00:08:14
Felicia Devine
Colorado, goodbye. I've heard it's cheaper.
00:08:18
Natalie Richards
It is. Okay.
Planning a Budget-Friendly Banff Trip
00:08:19
Natalie Richards
That's also why I'm going to Banff in January because –
00:08:22
Felicia Devine
Oh, that's right. Wait, your Banff trip.
00:08:24
Natalie Richards
Banff happening.
00:08:28
Felicia Devine
I love this for you.
00:08:30
Natalie Richards
And I was looking at Banff and I was like, I had to text my friend Sharice from Canada. I was like, something wrong with Banff?
00:08:37
Felicia Devine
Why is it so cheap?
00:08:38
Natalie Richards
Why is it so cheap? Like truly I had to
00:08:41
Felicia Devine
You're like, why why is a hotel room $25 a night?
00:08:43
Natalie Richards
I was like, okay, is it really that miserable Banff in January? Like, i don't know.
00:08:48
Felicia Devine
How cold is it?
00:08:50
Natalie Richards
i think it gets cold. I think it gets really cold. But fine.
00:08:53
Felicia Devine
Well, good thing you have all your fur.
00:08:53
Natalie Richards
Great. i Exactly. I love it.
00:08:55
Felicia Devine
You thrive in the cold weather.
00:08:56
Natalie Richards
So there's –
00:08:57
Felicia Devine
Your skin couldn't love you more when it's negative 30.
00:09:01
Natalie Richards
My hair is perfect. It doesn't get greasy.
00:09:06
Felicia Devine
Natalie skis with her hair down and you wear a helmet, but like Natalie gets off the ski mountain and she looks better than when I started.
00:09:09
Natalie Richards
wear a helmet.
00:09:13
Natalie Richards
I take my helmet off.
00:09:16
Felicia Devine
She's gorgeous. She looks ready for Opry and I couldn't look like I've, well, I probably also am just tumbling down the mountain. So I mean, I've gotten better, but I was honestly, I've never skied better than when I was like 30 weeks pregnant.
00:09:25
Natalie Richards
I know we're working on that. Yeah.
00:09:33
Felicia Devine
No joke.
00:09:33
Natalie Richards
Agreed. That was like my best skiing I've ever done when I was pregnant.
00:09:37
Felicia Devine
Yes.
00:09:37
Natalie Richards
It was a great year.
00:09:38
Felicia Devine
i I will forever say like my center of gravity over my toes.
00:09:42
Natalie Richards
Totally. Totally.
00:09:43
Felicia Devine
s Slipping and sliding down that mountain.
00:09:45
Natalie Richards
Yep.
00:09:46
Felicia Devine
So I guess I just need to wear a weighted vest next year.
00:09:49
Natalie Richards
That's why I ski with a backpack, actually, because I feel like it, i feel like I like it better.
00:09:51
Felicia Devine
Oh, really? Well,
00:09:54
Natalie Richards
i don't know. Maybe
00:09:55
Felicia Devine
I'm heavier postpartum, so maybe maybe I just needed some weight on these bones.
00:09:58
Natalie Richards
I'll be better.
00:10:03
Natalie Richards
That's the only thing you needed.
00:10:06
Felicia Devine
Yeah, it'll improve my skiing in an extra a couple of pounds.
00:10:06
Natalie Richards
Oh my God. That's so funny.
00:10:09
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:10:09
Natalie Richards
So funny. But Banff is going to fun.
00:10:11
Felicia Devine
Okay.
00:10:12
Natalie Richards
It's the, that, did you send me that ski joring video? Were you one of the 20, the 20 people who sent it to me?
00:10:16
Felicia Devine
Probably. it was Natalie Coded.
00:10:20
Natalie Richards
It was. So ski joring they, they like travel around a bunch of different ski towns and do
00:10:21
Felicia Devine
So tell us what it is. Because...
00:10:31
Natalie Richards
this like event in the winters and you are on it's kind of like a winter rodeo and it's in the middle of like a main street of these ski towns and they put snow and they do jumps and then somebody's on skis holding it it's like you're skiing off of a boat it's like water skiing
00:10:35
Felicia Devine
It's kind of like a rodeo. Mm-hmm.
00:10:47
Felicia Devine
Mm-hmm.
00:10:51
Felicia Devine
It's like water skiing in the middle of Center City. Mm-hmm.
00:10:55
Natalie Richards
on snow with a horse pulling you. And the horseback riders are dressed in like the funkiest, funkiest like mountain attire that you can think of Plus neon and pit vipers.
00:11:13
Natalie Richards
And then
00:11:15
Felicia Devine
It is literally Natalie and Kyle had a baby.
00:11:19
Natalie Richards
seriously, like, like I want Jean to be ski juror.
00:11:23
Felicia Devine
Gene is the mascot of ski joining.
00:11:26
Natalie Richards
That may be his his future.
00:11:28
Felicia Devine
His calling.
00:11:29
Natalie Richards
It might be.
00:11:30
Felicia Devine
Would he be the jockey or would he be the skier?
00:11:30
Natalie Richards
So, see, I think he's going to be too big to ride a horse. So I think he has to.
00:11:35
Felicia Devine
Oh, you're right. 6'11 Gene.
00:11:38
Natalie Richards
Unless he's riding a Clydesdale.
00:11:38
Felicia Devine
He's going to behind the horse.
00:11:40
Natalie Richards
Yeah.
00:11:40
Felicia Devine
The Clydesdale is going to pull him. The truck of a kid.
00:11:45
Natalie Richards
so terrible. Oh my God.
00:11:46
Felicia Devine
i forgot he's going to so tall. Okay. So he'll be the skier.
00:11:49
Natalie Richards
but So I think he'll be the skier. And I think like he can do that.
00:11:51
Felicia Devine
Okay.
00:11:52
Natalie Richards
Ski joring would be great because you're just jumping off jumps and grabbing like rings and stuff.
00:11:53
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:11:57
Felicia Devine
Like the winter circus.
00:11:59
Natalie Richards
Right. So when you look at at the Banff Ski Dioring, like their Snow Days Festival, they say they have like a couple days in it and it says a couple days of ski dioring, but then there's also a fashion contest.
00:12:06
Felicia Devine
Okay.
00:12:15
Natalie Richards
to
00:12:15
Felicia Devine
No.
00:12:17
Natalie Richards
So that's why everybody was dressed in that that video 20 different people sent me. Everybody's dressed in like the most amazing,
00:12:23
Felicia Devine
A fashion contest.

How big is a lynx?
00:12:50
Natalie Richards
It's really sad. But it's already been killed.
00:12:51
Felicia Devine
Isn't a lynx, like, tiny?
00:12:53
Natalie Richards
It's already done.
00:12:55
Felicia Devine
How many lynx are in there?
00:12:56
Natalie Richards
They're like a cat. They're like a large cat.
00:12:59
Felicia Devine
So it's 30 lynx strung together.
00:13:01
Natalie Richards
It's lot of them. It's really sad.
00:13:03
Felicia Devine
If you're a PETA fan, just continue listening.
00:13:04
Natalie Richards
But it's fabulous. look And you know what? My grandma bought it so many years ago and it's the one thing.
00:13:11
Felicia Devine
So it's upcycled.
00:13:13
Natalie Richards
It's upcycled. I would never buy it now. Also, I would never buy it now because in the stores, they sell for $50,000.
00:13:16
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:13:19
Natalie Richards
Five zero.
00:13:21

00:13:30
Felicia Devine
Whoa.
00:13:31
Natalie Richards
I was like, Kyle, I think we need to take an insurance policy out on this coat.
00:13:35
Felicia Devine
No, literally.
00:13:35
Natalie Richards
Like i can't replace this. Like if something happens, no, I would never.
00:13:39
Felicia Devine
You can't afford to.
00:13:42
Felicia Devine
You better be sleeping in that. You better wear it on the airplane and not take it off.
00:13:47
Natalie Richards
I went to the fur place in Park City and that's that's what they had them like for sale for.
00:13:47
Felicia Devine
Whoa.
00:13:52
Natalie Richards
And I would go, can you appraise my coat? And they're like, what do you have? go, full length links. They go, what?
00:14:01
Felicia Devine
Whoa.
00:14:01
Natalie Richards
Isn't that crazy? So I'm going to wear that.
00:14:03
Felicia Devine
That's wild. Okay. So pair that with what?
00:14:04
Natalie Richards
Also, the last time, the the last couple times I was in Park City with Brian and Jason and Sayward, we met these people and this guy had like a full coyote hat, like the full coyote pelt where the head and the nose are like sitting on your head, staring at other people.
00:14:11
Felicia Devine
Mm-hmm.
00:14:23
Natalie Richards
Yeah. And then like down the back is like the the legs come around your shoulders. And then like the tail is like hanging down behind you.
00:14:36
Natalie Richards
So I go, okay, a lynx coat plus a coyote pelt hat i and pit viper sunglasses.
00:14:40
Felicia Devine
hat,

00:15:17
Natalie Richards
And I'm like, I could never.
00:15:18

Also the amount of people who go there in the summer, like I would never want to go there.
00:15:22
Felicia Devine

00:15:25
Natalie Richards
It's it's actually obnoxious.
00:15:25
Felicia Devine
Wow.
00:15:27
Natalie Richards
So we're staying there. We're going to ice skate on Lake Louise. We're going to ski from Lake Louise. And then we're going to stay downtown Banff for a couple nights when the ski journey is happening.
00:15:35
Felicia Devine
wow
00:15:38
Felicia Devine
Okay. Okay. And how expensive are those hotels?
00:15:44
Natalie Richards
Okay. The five-star hotel on Lake Louise is a splurge.
00:15:47
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:15:47
Natalie Richards
I'm paying $400 a night.
00:15:49
Felicia Devine
we We're still, I mean, that's expensive.
00:15:50
Natalie Richards
Okay. But it's expensive. Okay. But then the downtown Banff hotel is $130 a night for like a really nice – like I think it's right where the ski joring is.
00:15:59
Felicia Devine
That's insane.
00:16:02
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:16:03
Natalie Richards
So I was looking and I was like, is this real?
00:16:03
Felicia Devine
You're not even gonna have to like Uber.
00:16:06
Natalie Richards
Like what something's wrong. Yeah.
00:16:08
Felicia Devine
Mm-hmm.
00:16:08
Natalie Richards
Because anywhere else you go to go somewhere in the winter is is the opposite.
00:16:10
Felicia Devine
Price gouging.
00:16:13
Natalie Richards
Like, Vail, $2,500 a night for a crappy hotel.
00:16:14
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:16:17
Felicia Devine
A motel sex.
00:16:18

00:17:21
Felicia Devine
Oh, tell me.
00:17:22
Natalie Richards

00:17:22
Felicia Devine
You have. You didn't s slide into my DMs.
00:17:26
Natalie Richards
know. I was waiting to tell you in person and I was like, ah ah can i well, here's the thing.
00:17:29
Felicia Devine
Ugh.
00:17:31
Natalie Richards
It's not hard for me. I just have been drinking out of out of a straw recently because I'm like, oh, I like it.
00:17:33
Felicia Devine
Right.
00:17:35
Felicia Devine
For funsies.
00:17:36
Natalie Richards
like it's It's fun.
00:17:37
Felicia Devine
It's cutesy.
00:17:37
Natalie Richards
Yeah. Love it. Love my little like iced coffee out of a straw.
00:17:41
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:17:42
Natalie Richards
Do I need it? No.
00:17:43
Felicia Devine
No.
00:17:44
Natalie Richards
Do I need my water to come out of a straw cup? No.
00:17:47
Felicia Devine
No.
00:17:47
Natalie Richards
So, no, I've switched over and it's been a week and i've ah ah it's definitely better.
00:17:50
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:17:55
Felicia Devine
I love it.
00:17:55
Natalie Richards
she Is it everything? No, but it definitely...
00:17:59
Felicia Devine
It definitely helps.
00:18:00
Natalie Richards
changed things. Yeah.
00:18:01
Felicia Devine
Yes, it does.
00:18:02
Natalie Richards
Where it's like not as hard. Like my stomach is not hard anymore.
00:18:04
Felicia Devine
Yes. Yes. And I, right.
00:18:06
Natalie Richards
And it was, and I was like, something is wrong. Like I have cancer, like for sure. but something is actually wrong with me, but it's actually the straws.
00:18:12
Felicia Devine
But it's a straw. It's actually the straw.
00:18:15
Natalie Richards
Isn't that so funny?
00:18:17
Felicia Devine
So I'll tell you this. So I posted on my Instagram being like, okay, I did my seven days. i told you I would commit to it. And I had a speech therapist reach out to me and she goes, and I quote, from a speech therapist perspective, it's totally true.
00:18:29
Natalie Richards
Okay.
00:18:36
Felicia Devine
For our swallowing patients, many times we advise them to not use a straw because the increased intake of air from a straw leads to bloating and GE reflux. So
00:18:45
Natalie Richards
ah
00:18:47
Felicia Devine
it's similar to how some babies take too much air in at the nipple, breast or bottle, and then have tummy troubles.
00:18:54
Natalie Richards
Hmm. It's so interesting to think about because like straws really are very unnatural. Like there's nothing natural about a straw.
00:19:02
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:19:04
Natalie Richards
Why would anyone from like when were straws invented? i need to look that up.
00:19:08
Felicia Devine
I don't know.
00:19:09
Felicia Devine
I don't know. But a man, a man invented them.
00:19:09
Natalie Richards
It's certainly a new thing.
00:19:13
Natalie Richards
A man definitely invented them.
00:19:15
Felicia Devine
Because you
00:19:15
Natalie Richards
That's
Straw Drinking and Bloating: Health Insights
00:19:15
Felicia Devine
don't see men slurping out of straws like women do.
00:19:18
Natalie Richards
so true. You always see guys like throw the straw to the side.
00:19:21
Felicia Devine
Take their straws out and they don't get bloated.
00:19:24
Natalie Richards
That's so funny. no straws are so unnatural. So it all makes sense. Yes. Like drink out of an open cup.
00:19:30
Felicia Devine
and isn it Yeah.
00:19:32
Natalie Richards
Done.
00:19:33
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:19:33
Natalie Richards
Okay.
00:19:33
Felicia Devine
I mean, we teach our kids how to drink over it. But I will say I bought some straw cups and now I'm like, oh, oh.
00:19:38
Natalie Richards
Oh, for sure. i did too. Like Jean loves a straw cup.
00:19:41
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:19:42
Natalie Richards
I don't know.
00:19:42
Felicia Devine
So do as I say, not as I do.
00:19:44
Natalie Richards
i don't know. i don't know.
00:19:47
Felicia Devine
i don't know.
00:19:47
Natalie Richards
So funny.
00:19:47
Felicia Devine
I mean, Sep knows how to drink out of an open cup. Like that's what we taught him first, but it's like convenient to have a shot cup for a toddler.
00:19:51
Natalie Richards
Yeah. Right.
00:19:55
Felicia Devine
I don't know.
00:19:57
Natalie Richards
It's very convenient.
00:19:57
Felicia Devine
I need to process.
00:19:58
Natalie Richards
And I don't, I can't think of a different alternative.
00:20:03
Felicia Devine
Well, I bought Sep an Ouala. Ouala?
00:20:06
Natalie Richards
Okay.
00:20:07
Felicia Devine
Ouala?
00:20:07
Natalie Richards
Well, yeah, I don't know.
00:20:07
Felicia Devine
Ouala? ula
00:20:09
Natalie Richards
and oh wella
00:20:10
Felicia Devine
A koala? koala?
00:20:13
Felicia Devine
Don't turn this off after you just heard me say that.
00:20:14
Natalie Richards
Sounds right.
00:20:17
Felicia Devine
But if you take the straw portion out, you're forced to drink out of it like a cup.
00:20:22
Natalie Richards
That's true.
00:20:22
Felicia Devine
With like the sip strout. Sip spout?
00:20:24
Natalie Richards
Like, so you just have to like tilt it.
00:20:26
Felicia Devine
Tip it. Yeah, because it's a double, double dual tip anyway.
00:20:27
Natalie Richards
Okay. That's fair enough. Could you not do that with any of the other straw cups?
00:20:35
Felicia Devine
No.
00:20:35
Natalie Richards
Just take the straw out and then just tilt it.
00:20:37
Felicia Devine
No, you can't do that with a Stanley.
00:20:39
Natalie Richards
I feel like you – okay, not that type of thing.
00:20:39
Felicia Devine
It's like the straw is connected.
00:20:42
Natalie Richards
I'm thinking about like – because Jean has like Yeti cups and stuff that have like the the mouth component like pops up and and tilts up.
00:20:42
Felicia Devine
oh Okay.
00:20:50
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:20:52
Felicia Devine
Oh, yeah.
00:20:53
Natalie Richards
But then like could you just take the straw out?
00:20:53
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:20:55
Natalie Richards
Yeah, I think so.
00:20:55
Felicia Devine
Yeah, because I have i have a Yeti, as you can see here.
00:20:58
Natalie Richards
it Right. That's what I'm drinking out of right now too. Yeah.
00:21:02
Felicia Devine
But my Yeti cup has like a twist on cap that has like more of a coffee spout.
00:21:06
Natalie Richards
Yes. That's what mine is too.
00:21:09
Felicia Devine
hu
00:21:10
Natalie Richards
Which also annoys me. I don't like the one that I have.
00:21:13
Felicia Devine
God, it gets so dirty.
00:21:14
Natalie Richards
It gets, yeah. And it's when it gets like low in the cup and I tilt it, it like there's something wrong with the flow is coming out because it will get all over me.
00:21:24
Felicia Devine
No, it's not even just too empty. it's it never It never comes out. I literally told Dan, I was like, is this a me problem?
00:21:28
Natalie Richards
and doesn't come out.
00:21:31
Felicia Devine
Why is the water not come out?
00:21:31
Natalie Richards
No, no. It is the lid problem. It is definitely the lid.
00:21:36
Felicia Devine
There's no flow. So I just take the lid off.
00:21:37
Natalie Richards
No.
00:21:38
Felicia Devine
To be honest with you, I don't even use the lid. The lid is off.
00:21:41
Natalie Richards
That's fine. You are a changed woman. This is crazy.
00:21:44
Felicia Devine
Honestly, look at me sipping coffee out of a cup.
00:21:45
Natalie Richards
I can't even, I don't even know who you are.
00:21:48
Felicia Devine
I know, but my teeth are going fall out my head because they're going so brown.
00:21:53
Natalie Richards
That's where we, we can't, we can't go down this rabbit hole right now.
00:21:54
Felicia Devine
That's where Dan comes into play. I know. We're not prepared. We're not researched. We cannot talk about teeth teeth again.
00:22:01
Natalie Richards
We can't talk about teeth anymore until we're we know more.
00:22:04
Felicia Devine
Okay, this next week we're going to do our research and come back to you with our formed opinions.
00:22:04
Natalie Richards
Hmm.
00:22:09
Natalie Richards
Yeah. the
00:22:10
Felicia Devine
But and until then.
00:22:11
Natalie Richards
It's things I've been listening about for like probably so many years, like 10 years, about like the alternative side of dentistry.
00:22:18
Felicia Devine
Really?
00:22:21
Natalie Richards
But I just have to – I need to know enough that I can go against Dan's traditional dentistry.
00:22:21
Felicia Devine
and know.
00:22:28
Felicia Devine
Honestly, alternative dentistry is like the dark web.
00:22:32
Natalie Richards
I know.
00:22:32
Felicia Devine
It's like polarizing.
00:22:34
Natalie Richards
I know. And that's where i've really I really – oh, my God.
00:22:35
Felicia Devine
Root canals don't even get us started.
00:22:38
Natalie Richards
I know. I know.
00:22:39
Felicia Devine
I know. it's really It's polarizing.
00:22:41
Natalie Richards
Yeah.
00:22:43
Felicia Devine
And yeah.
00:22:44
Natalie Richards
It's like really controversial.
00:22:48
Natalie Richards
I need to know what I'm, I need to know what I'm talking about before I get into this.
00:22:48
Felicia Devine
So welcome to our podcast. Same. So we cannot give our opinions yet because we are not educated and researched yet.
00:22:57
Natalie Richards
Nope. Nope.
00:22:59
Felicia Devine
I don't know enough.
00:23:00
Natalie Richards
We will fully admit. true.
00:23:01
Felicia Devine
Yeah, I know when to admit I'm wrong.
00:23:02
Natalie Richards
Mm-hmm.
00:23:04
Felicia Devine
That's something I'm not afraid to say. It's like, I don't know the answer.
00:23:06
Natalie Richards
but also true who
00:23:08
Felicia Devine
and don't know. I'm wrong.
00:23:10
Natalie Richards
Yeah.
00:23:10
Natalie Richards
It doesn't happen often.
00:23:11
Felicia Devine
Anyway, so straws, straws I'm right about.
00:23:12
Natalie Richards
but
00:23:14
Felicia Devine
Okay.
00:23:15
Natalie Richards
Straws, you're definitely right about. two case studies right here.
00:23:18
Felicia Devine
Never been wrong about straws.
00:23:20
Natalie Richards
So funny.
00:23:22
Felicia Devine
So, yeah, I had tons of people actually respond to me and be like, actually, I admit this is changing my life.
00:23:25
Natalie Richards
I bet.
00:23:29
Natalie Richards
ye Because I think it just like helped people to say like, hmm, I do use straws a lot.
00:23:30
Felicia Devine
I had somebody.
00:23:36
Natalie Richards
Maybe I don't have to.
00:23:36
Felicia Devine
I only drink out of a straw. Stanley. Stanley is taking over my life. But really, like, when did the Stanley revolution start? Because maybe that's when we all started getting bloated.
00:23:47
Natalie Richards
In the last last few years, so yes.
00:23:51
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:23:52
Natalie Richards
Like not long ago. This was like, I can't remember if it was pre-COVID or post-COVID when Stanleys came to me.
00:23:53
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:23:57
Felicia Devine
They took over an entire generation of women.
00:23:59
Natalie Richards
did. They did. And I know that I never used a straw until I was postpartum because then I got the big old big old cup, like with the big old handle cup that was the biggest thing I could find.
00:24:02
Felicia Devine
Which is crazy.
00:24:08
Felicia Devine
Influenced. Yeah.
00:24:14
Natalie Richards
And I was sucking stuff down through that straw all day.
00:24:14
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:24:18
Felicia Devine
yeah
00:24:18
Natalie Richards
And that's when I first started using a straw. And then I'm like thinking back, I'm like, oh my God, this is when all the problems began.
00:24:21
Felicia Devine
Yeah. Mm-hmm.
00:24:26
Felicia Devine
I know.
00:24:28
Natalie Richards
I cannot even say that that's all of the root of all of my issues, but
00:24:31
Felicia Devine
now No, But if you have forced air into your belly and then you have other issues on top of that, it does.
00:24:35
Natalie Richards
it makes so much sense. So I'm good.
00:24:39
Felicia Devine
So yeah.
00:24:40
Natalie Richards
it's I'm good not using one.
00:24:42
Felicia Devine
Yeah. So that's part of my platform.
00:24:43
Natalie Richards
I don't ever need one again.
00:24:46
Felicia Devine
The hill I will die on.
00:24:49
Natalie Richards
No
Personal Convictions about Food Dyes

00:25:19
Felicia Devine
Mm-hmm.

00:25:23
Felicia Devine
edna
00:25:24
Natalie Richards
Like, really?
00:25:24
Felicia Devine

Natalie Richards
Out of ah right? Like, Like, is it really the dye? Yeah. Yes, it's the dye.
00:25:32
Felicia Devine
and It's an eye.

Natalie Richards
Because at least for my child, you can notice the immediate difference. Like he can have a marshmallow that has a little bit of blue dye. Yeah.
00:25:49
Felicia Devine
Wait, really?
00:25:50
Natalie Richards
Did you know that marshmallows have blue dye?

Natalie Richards
No, the generic ones don't.
00:25:55

Natalie Richards
But jet puffed.
00:25:58
Felicia Devine
What color are they? Like off-white?
00:26:00
Natalie Richards
No, like they all look the same. I don't understand why there has to be blue dye in the jet puffed ones, but they do.
00:26:01
Felicia Devine

Natalie Richards
Not that I buy marshmallows.
00:26:07

00:26:09
Felicia Devine
I don't like marshmallows. Really?
00:26:11
Natalie Richards
But if he does and it's a regular whole marshmallow, he will be a demon.
00:26:17
Felicia Devine
Really?
00:26:18
Natalie Richards
hours later. like
00:26:20
Felicia Devine
Wow.
00:26:20
Natalie Richards
Clockwork. Clockwork.
00:26:21
Felicia Devine
Wow.

00:26:22
Felicia Devine
Wait, didn't he have like Jell-O or what what did he eat that one time that was red? oh Yes.
00:26:28
Natalie Richards
and I was like, okay, that he's already eating a bunch of stuff that he would never eat and fine if he wants a little strawberry Jell-O.
00:26:32
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:26:36
Natalie Richards
It was mostly strawberries. like It was draw chunks of strawberries with like a hint of Jell-O on the outside.
00:26:41
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:26:44
Felicia Devine
Yeah. yeah
00:26:45
Natalie Richards
And he had never had it before. and I was like, okay, whatever. Fine. It's Thanksgiving. Like, I'm not going to make us stink about like in front of all of Kyle's friends.
00:26:52
Felicia Devine
Right.
00:26:55
Natalie Richards
I'm sorry.
00:26:56
Felicia Devine
You're like, I'm the cool mom.
00:26:56
Natalie Richards
he can't. That's fine.
00:26:58
Felicia Devine
i I don't care about Jell-O.
00:27:00
Natalie Richards
They already know I'm insane.
00:27:01
Felicia Devine
I'm going to snort it myself. I'm a cool mom.
00:27:04
Natalie Richards
So that night, he i had never – like he was an actual – like something had overcome his body and he possessed – like I have never witnessed something so crazy.
00:27:12
Felicia Devine
Like, possessed him. That's what they say.
00:27:17
Natalie Richards
And the only reason why I know that it was that is because he never had acted like that ever in his life.
00:27:18
Felicia Devine
Oh, my gosh.
00:27:21
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:27:23
Felicia Devine
Right, right.
00:27:24
Natalie Richards
It wasn't sleep deprivation. was like he – It was ridiculous.
00:27:30
Felicia Devine
It was the food dye.
00:27:32
Natalie Richards
It was the food dye. So then i was like, oh my God, do you think like it really could have done that? And it did.
00:27:37
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:27:38
Natalie Richards
And then had it again.
00:27:38
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:27:40
Natalie Richards
i can't remember what the second the second time was. where I was like, oh, okay. He had eaten like one red M&M at a party. I'm dead serious.
00:27:50
Natalie Richards
like And it was it made him go psycho again.
00:27:51
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:27:54
Natalie Richards
like a top one little red M&M. And I'm just like, holy moly.
00:27:57
Felicia Devine
Wow.
00:27:59
Natalie Richards
So now I'm like, you will not feed my child, guys.
00:28:00
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:28:03
Natalie Richards
And if you do, you take him overnight.
00:28:03
Felicia Devine
No. Right. yeah And you can keep him for 48 hours.
00:28:07
Natalie Richards
You have to keep him until it gets out of his system because –
00:28:08
Felicia Devine
Wow.
00:28:12
Natalie Richards
It was, i couldn't even believe it. And the only reason why I know is because no he doesn't eat it.
00:28:15
Felicia Devine
I tell. Yeah.
00:28:18
Felicia Devine
Right. You have a clean slate.
00:28:18
Natalie Richards
And then other kids, like they're eating it.
00:28:20
Natalie Richards
Yeah, they're eating it all the time.
00:28:21
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:28:21
Natalie Richards
So then it's it it doesn't make a difference.
00:28:25
Felicia Devine
I tell parents, I say, just wait, it's going to become like gluten allergies and celiac disease. 12 years ago, were like, oh, is it really? Or, oh, like we don't have any gluten-free menus or yeah.
00:28:37
Natalie Richards
Really? We don't believe you.
00:28:38
Felicia Devine
Oh yeah.
00:28:39
Natalie Richards
Mm-hmm.
00:28:39
Felicia Devine
We don't believe you. Oh, your stomach hurts. So I think the food diet is going to trend in the gluten-free and like celiac disease.
00:28:45
Natalie Richards
Absolutely.
00:28:46
Felicia Devine
Like people are going to get it. And there's going to be a menu at places that say like die-free.
00:28:48
Natalie Richards
Yeah.
00:28:51
Natalie Richards
Yes. Or they're just not going to exist anymore.
00:28:52
Felicia Devine
And I, yeah. Right.
00:28:54
Natalie Richards
Which would be really, which would be really great because there are a lot of, there, the yes, there are a lot of options besides using the chemical food dyes.
00:28:55
Felicia Devine
We're going to eradicate them, which is where we're trending.
00:29:00
Felicia Devine
Someone is working on that currently.
00:29:05
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:29:06
Natalie Richards
Like, and they look the same, maybe not the same, but exactly.
00:29:09
Felicia Devine
Have you seen the power of a beat?
00:29:12
Natalie Richards

00:29:40
Felicia Devine
and
00:29:42
Natalie Richards
You cannot tell me and that you miss the regular food dye.
00:29:44
Felicia Devine
Wait, i don't know if this is I don't know if this is true, if this is real, but I watched someone online just take their Skittles and like rinse them in a strainer with like warm water to get all the dye off of it.
00:29:56
Natalie Richards
Sure. Yeah.
00:29:58
Felicia Devine
And then inside the Skittle itself is just white.
00:30:00
Natalie Richards
It's white. Yeah, it is
00:30:02
Felicia Devine
And so they'll feed their kids Skittles, but just rinsed. And I'm like, wait, I love that.
00:30:08
Natalie Richards
But like, why?
00:30:09
Felicia Devine
but I need to carry a strainer with me at all times?
00:30:11
Natalie Richards
But why do you need to even do that?
00:30:13
Felicia Devine
I know. Why can't they just make it? Why can't we make naked Skittles?
00:30:17
Natalie Richards
Right.
00:30:19
Felicia Devine
i'm gonna I'm going to lobby for naked Skittles.
00:30:20

Felicia Devine
No, it wouldn't.
00:30:23
Natalie Richards
It wouldn't sell. And they know that.
00:30:25

00:30:44
Felicia Devine
Well, it's not like that big of a confession, but it's kind of funny.
00:30:47
Natalie Richards
Tell me.
00:30:47
Felicia Devine
Okay, so. I had a party at my office. I love throwing parties at my office.
00:30:53
Natalie Richards
I know you do.
00:30:53
Felicia Devine
So it was like, it was like our third party or something.
00:30:54
Natalie Richards
Great.
00:30:56
Felicia Devine
And we had like a petting zoo, musician, like jump, a bounce house.
00:31:01
Natalie Richards
Wow.
00:31:04
Felicia Devine
I had a bougie cotton candy cart come. So in the communication with the cotton candy cart, we were like, we are very specific. We need dye-free options because a large part of our community that we see is dye conscious.
00:31:14
Natalie Richards
Yes.
00:31:18
Natalie Richards
yes
00:31:20
Felicia Devine
And they we wanted them to be organic. So she's like, I haveve organic, dye-free cotton candy options. And I was like, sign us up.
00:31:25
Natalie Richards
Wow, amazing.
00:31:26
Felicia Devine
Like, it was lovely. And it was like the cutest car. It was gorgeous.
00:31:30
Natalie Richards
Amazing.
00:31:31
Felicia Devine
So the day comes, we pick out our flavors of organic dye-free. The day comes. And she was like, she like didn't tell us that she ran out of another flavor that we had picked. So she just like chose to replace it.
00:31:47
Felicia Devine
ah ah She chose to replace it with blue raspberry.
00:31:52
Natalie Richards
Shut up. Like a real blue raspberry.
00:31:56
Felicia Devine
And of course, the kids were like, I want that one.
00:31:58
Natalie Richards
Of course.
00:31:59
Felicia Devine
You should have seen the blue faces and hands running around this party. It was like I was being haunted. i was like, I'm so sorry.
00:32:07
Felicia Devine
I am so sorry. Here I'm promoting organic dye-free cotton candy and not a single kid ordered organic dye-free cotton candy.
00:32:11
Natalie Richards
yeah
00:32:14
Felicia Devine
They all got the blue one. They all got the blue one and it was everywhere. And I was like,
00:32:18
Natalie Richards
Naturally, they will if the option presents itself. ah Of course.
00:32:21
Felicia Devine
why would they choose a light faint yellow or light faint pink when they could get electric blue?
00:32:24
Natalie Richards
Light yellow. right. right neon blue. Oh my God. Oh no.
00:32:32
Felicia Devine
I was like, this was not part of the plan. it was horrifying. It was horrifying. So that was a problem.
00:32:39
Natalie Richards
Oh, that's terrible.
00:32:41
Felicia Devine
Yeah. Yeah.
00:32:41
Natalie Richards
it's It's bad though.
00:32:42
Felicia Devine
So.
00:32:42
Natalie Richards
Like when – if you are a mom that knows, like you know.
00:32:47
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:32:47
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:32:47
Natalie Richards
Like you do not give my kids dye.
00:32:50
Felicia Devine
now No, no.
00:32:50
Natalie Richards
So like he'll have – if we're anywhere and there's any sort of dye for like a party or something and there's like a dyed frosting or something, like I scrape it off.
00:32:51
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:32:56
Felicia Devine
hmm.
00:32:59
Felicia Devine
Right.
00:33:00
Natalie Richards
is not eating it.
00:33:00
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:33:01
Natalie Richards
I will be that crazy person.
00:33:01
Felicia Devine
No, he's not eating a red balloon on a birthday cake.
00:33:03
Natalie Richards
No.
00:33:03
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:33:04
Natalie Richards
Nope. Nope. Nope.
00:33:06
Felicia Devine
And I think, I think that's pretty like, it's going to become pretty mainstream that like, oh, my kid has a gluten allergy.
00:33:10
Natalie Richards
I think so.
00:33:13
Felicia Devine
Oh, my kid has a dye allergy.
00:33:14
Natalie Richards
Literally. like he I would consider an allergy.
00:33:17
Felicia Devine
Jean have a diet allergy.
00:33:18
Natalie Richards
Absolutely.
00:33:19
Felicia Devine
and That's what I tell parents. I say, if your kid is sensitive, which most commonly it's boys.
00:33:20
Natalie Richards
o
00:33:24
Natalie Richards
Yes.
00:33:25
Felicia Devine
but if your kid is sensitive, you can call it an allergy. You can send your kid to school and say this, my kid has an allergy.
00:33:28
Natalie Richards
Yeah.
00:33:31
Natalie Richards
Yeah. Unless you want him to be acting like a fool, he will not be eating
00:33:32
Felicia Devine
They are not allowed to have die.
00:33:35
Felicia Devine
Yeah. Then again, you can keep them overnight.
00:33:38
Natalie Richards
I'm telling you. That's what I've told people before. I'm like, you can feed him dyes at your own risk because then you will see.
00:33:45
Felicia Devine
Yeah. Don't feed the wild animals crackers.
00:33:47
Natalie Richards
I do think he can probably handle it a little bit more now where it doesn't make him go into full crazy mode, but it will make –
00:33:51
Felicia Devine
That he's older.
00:33:56
Felicia Devine
I don't know. Should I test? I mean, i don't want to test it on sup to be honest. He's never had dye.
00:34:01
Natalie Richards
I know.
00:34:01
Felicia Devine
Well,
00:34:01
Natalie Richards
i know. There's like some some insidious places that it's hidden.
00:34:07
Felicia Devine
well yeah. Marshmallows. Marshmallows.
00:34:08
Natalie Richards
Right. Like how would you ever know? Mm-hmm.
00:34:10
Felicia Devine
Right.
00:34:11
Natalie Richards
Mm-hmm.
00:34:11
Felicia Devine
Yeah. um Yeah. What's that documentary? To Die For?
00:34:16
Natalie Richards
i Yes.
00:34:16
Felicia Devine
Did you watch that?
00:34:17
Natalie Richards
I never watched it, but I listened to a podcast about the the creators.
00:34:17
Felicia Devine
Yeah. Oh. Yeah.
00:34:20
Natalie Richards
Yeah. And they that's actually how I found out that it was in marshmallows because they would say their son could have one mini marshmallow and would go crazy.
00:34:21
Felicia Devine
Yeah, that was interesting.
00:34:25
Felicia Devine
Oh. Mm-hmm.
00:34:30
Felicia Devine
Oh.
00:34:32
Natalie Richards
And there's a varying level of of sensitivity with dyes.
00:34:34
Felicia Devine
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:34:35
Natalie Richards
It's not going to affect everyone the same way, but there are some kids who really can't do it.
00:34:35
Felicia Devine
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Just like there's food sensitivities and food allergies.
00:34:41
Natalie Richards
Yeah. Right.
00:34:42
Felicia Devine
There's, yeah, you can have a dye sensitivity.
00:34:42
Natalie Richards
Same thing.
00:34:44
Felicia Devine
And honestly, I think maybe we all have a sensitivity to it.
00:34:47
Natalie Richards
I think we probably do. And we don't recognize the anxiety or the, I think adults eat dies way more than they think.
00:34:49
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:34:56
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:34:56
Natalie Richards
Also, like it's in so many things.
00:34:56
Felicia Devine
I mean, it's int it's in toothpaste.
00:34:59
Natalie Richards
Yes, it's in, oh my God, we can't.
00:35:00
Felicia Devine
Back to the tunnel. Okay. Moving on. You want to hear about my hill I'm going to die on?
00:35:08
Natalie Richards
Yes, I would love to hear.
00:35:08
Felicia Devine
Okay. And I am so passionate about this. Self-awareness in public settings.
00:35:16
Natalie Richards
Oh, I love that.
00:35:17
Felicia Devine
And it spans many topics, but more so for safety.
00:35:20
Natalie Richards
Yeah. Yes.
00:35:23
Felicia Devine
There's self-awareness for various reasons, but...
00:35:25
Natalie Richards
if For like making sure you don't run into somebody as you're, yeah.
00:35:27
Felicia Devine
Yeah. Or like just like self-awareness when you're traveling.
00:35:28
Natalie Richards
Uh-huh.
00:35:31
Natalie Richards
Mm-hmm.
00:35:31
Felicia Devine

00:36:00
Natalie Richards

00:36:02
Felicia Devine
I'm going to be out here on bike paths, slapping people across the head.
00:36:05
Natalie Richards

00:36:07
Felicia Devine
Lesson learned.

00:36:12
Natalie Richards
Seriously, it's very scary.
00:36:14
Felicia Devine
It's scary. And I just feel like there's so many instances where I just want to prove a point and like go steal their groceries and just be like, you didn't even see me coming because you're distracted.
00:36:22

00:36:35
Natalie Richards
like, who is this crazy lady?
00:36:37
Felicia Devine
Like literally stealing groceries or like I don't know, like you said, like on a bike path or like somebody is, a woman is running on the side of the road wearing headphones, running the wrong direction on the road.
00:36:47
Natalie Richards

00:37:06
Natalie Richards
I did too. I don't know where I learned to walk up on the right side of the road.
00:37:08
Felicia Devine
But like where are these people growing up that they don't know where that information is coming from?
00:37:13
Natalie Richards
i know
00:37:14
Felicia Devine
So if you're listening and you don't know what side of the road to walk or run on, if you're on foot, okay, yes.
00:37:19
Natalie Richards
You bike with traffic.
00:37:22
Felicia Devine
So if you're on wheels, you go with traffic. You're flowing with the flow of cars in the bike lane or on the shoulder.
00:37:29
Natalie Richards
ah
00:37:30
Felicia Devine
You do not ride bikes on sidewalks unless it is legal and noted, unless you're allowed to.
00:37:35
Natalie Richards
Right. Right.
00:37:36
Felicia Devine
Okay.
00:37:37
Natalie Richards
Right.
00:37:38
Felicia Devine
If you are on foot, whether you're running, walking, have a dog, if your feet hit the pavement, you better be facing a car.
00:37:45
Natalie Richards
Yes.
00:37:46
Felicia Devine
You better be making i eye contact with a driver.
00:37:49
Natalie Richards
With that driver. Exactly. And if you don't see the eyes of that driver, you better stop on the side of the road and
00:37:53
Felicia Devine
They don't see you. You better jump into the corn.
00:37:58
Felicia Devine
Yes. So if you're on foot, you have to be going against the flow of traffic. You have to.
00:38:03
Natalie Richards
just like you.
00:38:04
Felicia Devine
I see it every day.
00:38:05
Natalie Richards
I know all the time.
00:38:06
Felicia Devine
People are running with the flow of traffic back towards.
00:38:07
Natalie Richards
I know.
00:38:08
Felicia Devine
oh Makes me cringe.
00:38:10
Natalie Richards
Yep. Yep. I know.
00:38:11
Felicia Devine
Anyway, so I'm an advocate for self-awareness in safety situations.
00:38:13
Natalie Richards
Okay.
00:38:17
Natalie Richards
Well, Kyle, he's always like, he's insistent on so many things when i'm when we're out.
00:38:20
Felicia Devine
Yeah. Well, yeah. Kyle has his head on his mobile.
00:38:24
Natalie Richards
He's like, he does. He's like, okay. So he has to be facing the door if we're sitting in a restaurant.
00:38:28
Felicia Devine
Yes. I was going say, yep, my dad.
00:38:30
Natalie Richards
Must.
00:38:31
Felicia Devine
My dad always faces the door.
00:38:31
Natalie Richards
Like, and I'm just trained at this point. I'm like, okay, go over there.
00:38:34
Felicia Devine
Yeah. Like Kyle picks the seat facing the door. Yeah. My back is always to a door.
00:38:41
Natalie Richards
So like, do I have to be self-aware?
00:38:42
Felicia Devine
I've never seen a door.
00:38:43
Natalie Richards
Not really. Yeah.
00:38:46
Felicia Devine
When you're with Kyle, you're like, my lights are off. I you have no wits about me.
00:38:48
Natalie Richards
I like, oh, not a care in the world.
00:38:51
Felicia Devine
Nope.
00:38:53
Natalie Richards
i like, oh, somebody is getting mugged over there. Oh, Kyle, go figure it out.
00:38:56
Felicia Devine
Oh, not my problem. Has Kyle ever had to be like a citizen and step in?
00:38:59
Natalie Richards
He's great.
00:39:03
Natalie Richards
Oh, God, I'd have to ask him that. I don't know. I don't think so.
00:39:05
Felicia Devine
Yeah. Curious.
00:39:07
Natalie Richards
I don't think so.
00:39:07
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:39:08
Natalie Richards
he Trust me, he gets enough action during work. So it for some reason, he's the one that everybody decides they want to fight.
00:39:11
Felicia Devine
Yeah. He's... Yeah.
00:39:19
Felicia Devine
Why? Yeah.
00:39:19
Natalie Richards
so i Great question. I think it's like when people are like coked out or like on meth and they're like, oh, sweet, a 6'6 cop, 250 pound cop that I can go, let me fight him.
00:39:24
Felicia Devine
Yeah.
00:39:31
Felicia Devine
Oh my gosh.
00:39:32
Natalie Richards
Kyle loves it.
00:39:33
Felicia Devine
Okay. Not to mention, okay.
00:39:34
Natalie Richards
Kyle loves it.
00:39:34
Felicia Devine
Kyle's scary. Kyle's scary alone. Okay. I'm not taking that away from Kyle, but have you seen Gator?
00:39:41
Natalie Richards
Right. And then Gator is a whole other story. So Kyle's fights have gone down drastically since having Gator.
00:39:44
Felicia Devine
Okay.
00:39:48
Felicia Devine
Since he had Gator, honestly, liability for the the company is reduced too.
00:39:53
