Economic Strategies in Gaming

Speaker
bananas when you get to that part. I have wheat. I have so much wheat. How? I don't remember how, but I have so much wheat right now. Like, I didn't even plant all of it. Like, I had a quest that required me to have 25 things a wheat, and I'm like, I went two days and I couldn't get any wheat. Oh, 25? No, because you know you need wheat to make crackers at the beginning.
00:00:29
Speaker
And I still have leftover wheat from that. Oh, I had to go buy wheat. I've been like, I don't have that much money. And then when you get money, you got to spend it. I know I've been wanting to buy all the cute little like decoration things and like all the cute clothes and it costs so much.
TV Show Notifications and Surprises
00:00:56
Speaker
It'll cost like 12,000 coins. I'm like, y'all, Scrooge McDuck is out here committing crimes. Felonies.
Podcast Anniversary and Itinerary Confusion
00:01:11
Speaker
Sounds like I need to get it. Oh, did you watch the new The Resident? I haven't even opened Hulu.
00:01:23
Speaker
I know I really haven't either, but I get notifications when new episodes drop from like my Apple TV thing. I was like, oh, I didn't because I didn't even know it was coming back on. Oh, we should talk about this are. What are we going to do about Zach's season? It's OK, we're going to get into all of that once we actually start talking. What do you mean do about Zach's season? That's not the order of the show.
00:01:53
Speaker
But we're talking about it now. We're addressing our one year anniversary. Oh, you did not send us an itinerary. How are we supposed
Popular TV Show Themes: School Trauma
00:02:04
Speaker
to know that? Look, I have three things I want to talk about. The one year anniversary, a rant that I came up with yesterday, like it just popped into my head and I wrote it down and was like, oh, I need to talk about this. And then third thing,
00:02:17
Speaker
all of the TV shows that are on right now. I mean, I know y'all are probably not watching any of them because y'all don't watch reality TV, but Special Forces? No. Okay, great. And then The Bachelor. But yeah, let's talk about our one year anniversary that we didn't talk about at all. When was it? Because we forgot. It was on the 17th of December. Yeah, I thought it was on the 31st.
00:02:46
Speaker
But nope, we posted the episode, I Think We're Funny, we should start a podcast on December 17th. Oh, okay, speaking of episodes, to the 20 people who listened to our last week's episode, wow, y'all almost really missed us. Second of all, why are all of our school episodes like the best ones? Because, baby, trauma sells.
Humorous Anecdotes: Martin Luther King Jr. Day
00:03:13
Speaker
It just, it feels like
00:03:16
Speaker
anytime we talk about being in a cult because it's like a fever dream and also it's like in hindsight it's so ridiculous it's hilarious like sometimes i get little flashbacks of things that happen and i be cracking up because like
00:03:36
Speaker
It is insane. Like, y'all telling me it's not a little bit funny how basically every year coming up around this time of the year Martin Luther King Jr.
High School Memories and Bible Classes
00:03:46
Speaker
Day is coming, we have the same dude sitting there. What did he even do? Why does he get a day? What does he need a day for? That's like TV stupid funny. Cause like, why did you say that every year? Who?
00:04:04
Speaker
You know who. Yeah, you know who. But what's funny is that he never actually said that around me. I mean, not that I had like many interactions. She were the only person who ever heard him say that. Oh, it was that year. Yeah, year that we all had a different that I had a different Bible class than y'all. I think we all had a different Bible class. No, I wasn't in like the popular Bible class with like the teacher everyone loved. I wasn't like the other would where she was trying to pray away demons.
00:04:33
Speaker
if we ask too many questions. Like also, and that too, that is hilarious. This was high school? Yes. We only had one Bible teacher then. No, not freshman year. No. Yes. No. I had a different Bible teacher than y
Controversial High School Discussions
00:04:54
Speaker
'all. I had a different Bible teacher. We were literally in the same Bible class freshman year because we would all sit there and read The Hunger Games.
00:05:02
Speaker
No, Hunger Games was junior high. Or whatever book we were reading. No, The Fault in Our Stars. We were in Bible. That wasn't me because I've never read The Fault in Our Stars. You didn't go see it with us? No, I didn't get invited.
00:05:20
Speaker
Are you sure? Yes. Y'all, that was a real point of contention when I found out that she invited everyone but me. That was freshman year we went to go see that movie. And it was a real point of contention when I found out.
00:05:39
Speaker
Huh? Yes. When I found out. Is this the right way for you? Or is it backwards? Yeah, I see it. But yeah, and it was a real point of contention when I found out. And then because I was all upset, and to be like, Oh, well, you know, I think she won tickets and she could only like invite a couple of people. And it was a really like special night. We got those posters.
00:06:02
Speaker
Yeah, I don't know why y'all thought I was there. I was not there. I didn't think you were there. I just don't remember. No, I remember it. I remember it because I read that whole entire book within the span of every single class period that day. And that's why I didn't read the book. I'm just kidding. I just didn't. I didn't care for it. I didn't care for like. Well, then who was the other Bible teacher? Starts with an A.
00:06:30
Speaker
She was the only one that I remember. I was in no. No, we always had in eighth grade. Our Spanish teacher also taught a Bible class and I was in her Bible class like freshman year and I was in her Bible class like senior year. I was in her Bible class with you one year. Now, I think that might have been freshman year. I was a demon. No, I was in Miss A. Yeah. Well,
00:07:00
Speaker
Then it was senior year, but he said it my freshman year, because I was one of the only freshmen in there. Who was he? He. Give me a letter or something. You know what? I'll just say this. Great above us. Oh. Yeah. I was about to say something, but that one, that was going to go real gross. Yeah. Is that with the H? Yeah. OK.
00:07:27
Speaker
yeah like that was literally like that is hilarious like hindsight that was so that was such a dumb thing to say that it's like it's not funny but it's funny
Humor in Church Practices
00:07:41
Speaker
which is why people listen to those episodes because it's just like dumb like tell me why my senior year i got into an argument with a boy because it was like we were having a thing about abortion because that's what you do at christian schools and he was like i don't know someone could tell me that my baby um
00:08:00
Speaker
would not live for like two hours and they could be in immense pain and I'd still have the baby and I looked him dead in his face and I go no you wouldn't you can't have a baby you wouldn't have nothing you'll be standing off to the side looking like a dip while the woman you love yeah and I don't really care what you say because you I was like you'd never be in that situation he'd be like well maybe who knows I was like no you never would who were you having this conversation with
00:08:30
Speaker
You know, it was at a point in senior year where I was like, dang, I don't care no more. So I started saying all my controversial opinions. But who? You remember that kid that pulled a muscle in his leg sitting down in his desk? I don't. That sounds incredibly funny. Raven remember his name? Were we friends with him? No. How you going to put your hamstrings sitting down at your desk?
00:08:59
Speaker
We weren't friends with him. That's a lot of people. That's like four people. Nevermind. Nevermind. You can already take out three of them. Yeah, and I'm pretty sure one of those people wouldn't have said that to Casey. And then the other one, it's not like he had anything to lose.
00:09:30
Speaker
but yeah, nope yeah and so yeah that's why people watch those episodes because it's literally so dumb and so like shocking that it's like hilarious like y'all remember how controversial your church was because they kept on pushing teenagers to make them fall out in the Holy Spirit?
Church Stories and Safety Concerns
00:09:52
Speaker
no no not even falling out it's the the soul winning for me like
00:09:59
Speaker
Let's screw the message of Jesus Christ. Let's just go out into the street and ask everybody to join and then, you know, not, not learn anything from it. Just, yeah, we're winning souls. We're keeping track. What'd you say? Not for the souls.
00:10:18
Speaker
honestly like that's like so funny like the idea that you sit in there you 13 some man grabbed you by your cranial it just goes no in the name of Jesus the first time that happened to me we were in um we were in chapel no we were okay it was either chapel or we were at church on Wednesday and this guy yelled fire and then like pushed me
00:10:48
Speaker
Do you know what I'm talking about? I think he did it at chapel because he got in trouble for it. We're on the same wavelength. It was either chapel or it was church. I remember this story, but I don't remember being there when it happened. And then having just a season of revival. I get it. Revival's a thing. But I never really understood why we pinpoint a season for it, not like it's just this thing that happens.
00:11:17
Speaker
I thought revival is more of a thing that just happens you can't say oh it's revival week June to August like no it's like a thing that happens you can't predict and I will say god do you remember those people that were climbing up in the trees waiting for that super famous evangelical
00:11:39
Speaker
guy that like came to the church. Ooh, Rodney Howard Brown. The one that walked everywhere. The one who like went to jail. Did he get arrested? Stop. Just having like church during COVID or something. He probably did because that's sound like something he would do. Um yeah and there were people like waiting up in the trees. I don't remember that. No I do because we were in school.
00:12:01
Speaker
Yeah, we were in school and they were up in the trees on the other side of the fences. They were up in the trees. And then they sent out that thing about, you know, take up a cautionary measure as you're walking to your cars after school, or like when we're going to cheer practice, walk in a buddy system because there's men in the trees.
Reflecting on Cultural Sensitivity
00:12:20
Speaker
Because there were a bunch of weirdos up in the trees. It just sounds
00:12:24
Speaker
odd when you say it out loud like that is hilarious like i can see it i can see it on a little tv show having people under the trees and they're like praise jesus this isn't up in a tree should we like write a tell all
00:12:41
Speaker
Our book was to be so bad because it would literally be us. We'd be like, I don't know. We thought it was weird, but we didn't say nothing. We thought it was weird, but we didn't say nothing. We thought it was weird, but we didn't say nothing. It would lack a lot of detail. No, it would go in total. Yeah, no. Tell Oz. Tell Oz you got to just start doxxing people. Ayo. Ayo. A tell Oz. No, because we kind of knew it back then.
00:13:09
Speaker
Did we? Because it took like probably the first years of college to realize oh
00:13:17
Speaker
maybe not now mine started seeing your year and maybe having a gangster day at you y'all y'all when i say i hope none of those people try to be politicians i pray i pray that none of those people try to be politicians are you gonna dox them all i'm no all those pictures are out on the internet
00:13:42
Speaker
Olivia Pope type people will find in it. Kasey aren't you an Indian on Facebook?
Expense of Planners and Temptations
00:13:50
Speaker
I don't have Facebook? No like aren't you dressed in an Indian costume on Facebook? I thought that was someone else. That was her? Okay hold on. There is a controversial
00:14:03
Speaker
picture of me in a Pocahontas costume. But y'all, it is a very vague Pocahontas and I was like three and it was a dance costume. I didn't plan it, okay? Do I? Yes, I understand. I was a literal toddler. I had, I had very little, I was like three. I had a couple coherent thoughts. Sure.
00:14:31
Speaker
Oh my gosh, this man does not know where we're staying. He keeps telling everybody we're staying at the Best Western and everybody keeps texting me, are y'all really staying at the Best Western? No. That's not where I'm paying my monies to. Okay, let me talk about my rant real quick.
00:14:54
Speaker
I don't think you're going to relate to this, but I think Raven can. So I got targeted for this ad on TikTok. It was about a planner. And of course, you know, I was like, oh, I can't buy it. This is really cool. Planer like it's. Horizontal this way. Mm hmm.
00:15:11
Speaker
Yeah horizontal and it has like smaller pages for like your weekly things and then another page on the side for you to do things but the like horizontal portion is like your monthly calendar spread. Why is this planner $55 and then shipping is $12? Why are planners so expensive? You still bought it didn't you? No okay so I already had one but I used to gift card so I could justify buying a new one because I didn't spend my own personal money.
00:15:38
Speaker
I spend that much money on a planner every year. Dude, the shipping is what got me. The $50, it's still a little out there, but $12 for shipping? Normally when you spend over $50 anywhere, you get free shipping. There's no discount code, there's no 10% off for putting your email in, and bank $62 for a planner that I may not even complete.
New Year's Resolutions and Reading Goals
00:16:02
Speaker
Speaking of planners, me and my mom have decided to be planner girlies this year. Were you doing digital or like? I want to get a physical one. I want to get a physical one. I got a big designer. I did download the Notion app to kind of poke around in there. Everyone's using Notion. I can't ever figure it out. I tried to set it up last year. It's like so complicated for me.
00:16:28
Speaker
but yeah so like i want to get a planner and i want like a planner with like a habit tracker and stuff because we're supposed to talk about new year's resolutions so i'll just tell y'all mine um one of my new year's resolution is to wear sunscreen every day and she already broke it i did already break it i did not wear sunscreen yesterday but i did wear sunscreen today like all over your body or just like on your face no just like on my face okay i wear sunscreen like every day
00:16:57
Speaker
It's mixed into my moisturizer. Oh, I was going to say, you purposely put on sunscreen every single morning? Yeah, mine isn't. Mine isn't. Maybe I should try and look for one that's mixed into my moisturizer, but yeah. Because I'm trying to repair my skin's moisture barrier. It's a lot of hard work. OK. Well, my planner has a bunch of dot pages so you can create your own habit tracker. I like a bullet journal.
00:17:27
Speaker
Raven slowly moving into being a bullet journal girly. Oh, do you unwashi tape? I was going to ask, do you choose everyone? I was trying to get someone that they sold out so fast.
00:17:42
Speaker
No, I love bullet journals, but like I personally could never. It's not the bullet journal. It's the washing tape that you got really excited about it. Do you have like book stickers? It's just like a little bit. I think I sent it to you. I do have like, so I create my own like book cover stickers, but I bought some like book
00:18:09
Speaker
audiobook and Kindle icons for like tracking how many books I read and there's a lot of different like challenges and stuff in this planner and I'm really excited for it. Yeah I was telling my mom because I was like yeah like Raven and Alexis use planners I was like Raven even got like a book one so she can track what kind of like books she reads she goes oh my gosh ask Raven what planner she gets because I want to do that because my mom reads like two books a week
00:18:36
Speaker
so it's probably sold out now because they go on sale like september october ish oh my gosh and then we get them in december but wait let me see speaking of books um did y'all start your book reads or not book reads goodreads reading challenge of the year
00:18:59
Speaker
Oh no, I like have not even opened Goodreads. You need to set it up. I'm aiming for 20. Yeah, last year I did 12, but I ended up reading 15. Raven, please don't say your number because you're gonna make me feel bad about myself. I went down this year. I'm going 52. One book a week. I barely. One book a week.
00:19:21
Speaker
Oh, okay. I made it to like farther and every summer after and I just really hope it's going to start picking up once she like gets sent to join the challenge. Okay. What should I do? I'll do or it happened one summer. Sorry. I'll do 10. I'll set my goal as 10 books. That is low.
00:19:44
Speaker
Y'all, y'all. We all know that you will read more. I have not finished a book. I have started, I start books. I don't finish books. You know what? You need to start, you need to get a Kindle, okay? Because you need to start things we never got over because next month we're going to, we should vlog. Maybe use our YouTube channel. It's on a Tuesday?
00:20:13
Speaker
I thought so. When did I send that to you? Did you send it on Instagram or text message? I think it's on Instagram. I thought it was like a Tuesday. And I was like, dang, I don't think I can go. Oh, dang. Okay, yeah, you need to read things we never got over. And everyone listening to this, you also need to read that book because it's great. It's like 700 pages. But I promise it's it'll go easy 700. Yeah. Oh my gosh. Alexis knows this. Right. I finally saw Avatar.
00:20:43
Speaker
That movie is so good.
Workplace Frustrations
00:20:45
Speaker
Also, speaking of movies, I was so pissed off. I only have one shift in the next two weeks and my manager's like, yeah, we're doing merit-based giving out of shifts based on people who are hard workers and people we know we can depend on. He gave the new girl, our newest employee, she just finished her training last week. She has two shifts next week.
00:21:11
Speaker
You don't know if you can depend on her. She barely knows how to do her job. Like she is like the nicest kid ever and like she is so sweet. But what the heck? How was that merit-based when she just started? It's okay. Our shifts are getting cut too. I work this Friday and next Friday and that is all. And honestly, I'm about tired of working on the weekends.
00:21:39
Speaker
I kinda wanna quit but at the same time I keep telling myself I only have two more months.
Gift Plans and Technology Debates
00:21:44
Speaker
I know and I'm just like so mad. Like I literally only have one shift and like I'm always at work and I'm always on time and I always do my job and but whatever. I don't think it's merit based. I think it's favoritism and just because I don't think he likes me, I'm not getting shifts.
00:22:14
Speaker
Okay, go through your email You know, like when you get the reconfirmation Well, so the bachelor what are we doing, you know, what are we doing? We're not doing they're not doing every single week. I Don't have the time span
00:22:41
Speaker
21. 221. It's a Tuesday. Are you for real? Yep. We'll see. Dang, that is a Tuesday. We'll play that one by ear. Even though I've been thinking about it, so I still want to go. Y'all, I can't be requested in this many days off work. Which I won't get off. What time is it? It doesn't save. Maybe I can just, like,
00:23:13
Speaker
I don't know why I would assume it would be at night time. I think it's like an all day thing. Oh. I mean, if we go, we go. If we go, she's signing my Kindle. She's going to sign both my books. Because I don't own the physical copy. If you don't go buy the physical copy. Nah. I paid $3 for both of them.
00:23:43
Speaker
on Kindle and I'm okay with that yeah but yes I don't think we should recap every single episode I think I really could care less if I watched his season or not I was debating it too but I'm I think I'm gonna watch it just because there's what this one chick from Fort Worth and I kind of like want to know how far she's gonna make it oh my gosh kindles are so expensive I have the basic one
00:24:14
Speaker
But same, Jared's trying to figure out what to get me as a wedding present and I'm like, can I ask for a Kindle Oasis? Is that like something you get somebody? I just want the 2022 version. Of what? The Paperwhite? Yeah. Wow. I just, I solely want the Oasis so I can press the buttons. I mean, it's not- I need the Kindle scribe now, but it's really big.
00:24:42
Speaker
it looks like an iPad yeah it's like it's big okay wait what kind do you guys have i just have the basic 2019 one yeah you can do like five easy payments and then i know like it should be like a hundred dollars yeah you know you can trade it in you get like a a gift card and then it's 20 off a new one
00:25:08
Speaker
Like I almost traded in mind during Prime Day for the Oasis, but I talked myself out of it See and this is why we need more like if your birthday is at the end of the year You don't have that many times for people to get you a gift Oh Like like if you're like cuz birthday and Christmas are both at the end of the year so then you can't like just ask for a gift throughout the year and
00:25:37
Speaker
Yeah. Or you can do what I do, and any time I get sad, or any time something good happens to me, I buy myself a gift. Yeah, I can't do that.
Work Anniversaries and Light Celebrations
00:25:49
Speaker
Really? My version of that is I go get a snack that I really, really like. So I go get boba, or I go get ice cream. I take my happy little booty up into Express, and like last week, I bought myself a blazer dress for getting a raise.
00:26:09
Speaker
Well, really it's not a raise. It's a, I'm not opting into their insurance plan. So then I get more money. Y'all I had my, I had my one year anniversary at work, I think on Monday or Tuesday. Did you celebrate? Well, I didn't want to, I didn't realize until the end of the day, but, but today, uh, our head RBT mentioned it in our team meeting. She was like,
00:26:36
Speaker
Casey's one year passed. She was like, I can't believe it's been a year. The clinic wouldn't be the same without her. Well, oh my god, today was so, today was mad rough for me. I was going to lunch and me and one of my co-workers that I'm friends with, we were both going to lunch because we both had lunch at one. And then she's like, Casey, how you doing? I'm like, oh my god, I kind of want to cry. I was stressed out.
00:27:07
Speaker
You know what we should have done? We should have did a best of 2022. We talked about all of our favorite books of the year, if we had favorite TV shows, favorite music. Where were all these ideas last week or in that month that we took off a break? Look, I do my best thinking in the shower. I mean, I have showered a lot recently since then, but yesterday I was really in a deep thinking process because I was alone.
00:27:37
Speaker
Yeah. Whose dog just growled? That was kind of freaky. What was that dog growling? Oh, was that your stomach? No, if you heard it, was it like real deep? Yeah. Oh, that was my dad singing downstairs. You know, we're supposed to be talking about our New Year's resolutions, but I already said mine. You're one about sunscreen that you already broke.
00:28:07
Speaker
Well, I'm starting again. And yeah, what do I need to have complicated New Year's resolution? You know, mine was to stop impulse shopping. But if I recanted everything that I bought myself since Tuesday,
00:28:25
Speaker
Let's just say 2023 is not my year to stop shopping. Oh, do you want to hear something funny my dad did? So I'm planning on moving out of my parents house. Like we're like actively like applying to move into apartments right now.
Moving Out: Reactions and Experiences
00:28:42
Speaker
And I'm not handling it very well. I don't do chains well. And so my dad hasn't said anything to me about it. But I've been being like, oh yeah, we're definitely going to move out. He's even talked to my friend's mom that I'm going to be living with. And first of all, her mom thinks that I'm pressuring her into moving out. And I'm going to put it out there. I am not pressuring her. Seriously? Stars aligned, and now we're just moving out.
00:29:09
Speaker
bang and i told her to clear my name with her mom because i don't want her mom to think that i'm pressuring her but um so my dad like hasn't said anything to me and then uh two packages were on our doorstep the other day and i bring them in and later in the day i'm like oh dad like what did you order and he goes oh it's for you i'm like okay i open it he got a painting
00:29:34
Speaker
of max done and he goes something to put in your new apartment after he has not talked to me about moving out since i've mentioned it and then he just goes something for you to put in your new apartment i'm like okay thank you it is really nice it's a nice painting have you signed the lease yet or like are we still waiting we're still waiting we're like in between like
00:30:02
Speaker
There's one place that we really, really like, but we just need to see it first. It's in North Arlington. A rent for a two-bedroom and it's 900 and something square feet is 1,400. What? The popping. Oh, my bad.
00:30:22
Speaker
rent is $1400 and then so $1400 and plus and then they have a monthly expense of $160 that includes electricity, cable, internet, valet trash, like pest control and water and all that so like we wouldn't even have to like go out and find like an electric company and stuff or get our own internet so we be paying like
00:30:55
Speaker
like 780 for like everything for the apartment and yeah it's a really good deal but we weren't able to like tour it because the freeze bursted the pipes in the what's it called in the show apartment because no one turned on the pipes but yeah so we weren't able to tour it
00:31:23
Speaker
And then we have another tour this Saturday at 2.30 and another one that we really liked. So I'm hoping we choose the first one though, cause I like it and I like where it's at. I like North Arlington a lot, but I mean, I hate North Arlington during football season though, but. Yeah, you'll be fine. Yeah. Oh wait, you're going to be by the stadium.
00:31:52
Speaker
No, it's not like by the stadium, but it's in North Ireland too. Like how close in proximity? Far enough where like people won't be looking for parking anywhere near where I'm at. Oh. They're like, yeah, it's a nice little... I can't wait to move out.
Skate Night and Hair Oil Controversy
00:32:17
Speaker
y'all so i went i went to an adult only skate night it was 21 and up and i had all those people that were like that skate dance like you know those videos you see of people like skate dancing that's what everyone there was doing and i can't skate and they're like okay everyone slow skaters to the middle
00:32:39
Speaker
How are you supposed to get to the middle? They're going like 50 miles per hour. And every time someone zooms up behind you, they're like, they like grab you to like steady themselves. And so I'm sitting there, I'm not steady. They grabbing me trying to steady themselves. And they're like, move, get out the way. Going too slow. I'm like, God dang. Have y'all seen the TikTok controversy about this hair oil? Yeah, the Meow hair oil.
00:33:08
Speaker
I think it's hilarious. Like, I think it's hilarious. I think it's what I don't use me else. So like, I do. I don't got no skin in the game. I do. And thankfully, my mom bulk ordered them before, like from the actual website before all of this happened. So I'm stocked up. But if I went to Tarjay and it wasn't there, and I had to go to a beauty supply, I think I would cry.
00:33:37
Speaker
I could get suckered into so much stuff with the beauty supply. They just have like these random trinkets at the counter. That's true. The beauty supply would be making me spend money on stuff I don't even like using.
00:33:49
Speaker
and I know I won't use it, but I'm buying it because of convenience. I know. That's why I can't buy shampoo at the beauty supply. I gotta go to a box store because if I have too many options in front of me, I'm buying something I ain't got no business buying, but I could just try it even though I've been using the same shampoo for eight months. I went to go refill my shampoo prescription. Why'd they cancel it? Because it's out of stock.
00:34:18
Speaker
It's out of, I've been wondering why I can't get mine. I like caught the pharmacy and was trying to get it and they're like, yeah, we'll call you. And they never called and that's probably why. Some of us have really bad dandruff, okay? I can't go without that shampoo. I started using- I move and I flake. I started using the Head and Shoulders Royal Oils line and that works really good.
00:34:47
Speaker
I still have this, like, like, maybe two more washes left with the Biola's Dandruff shampoo. I mean, it works.
Wedding Preparations and Aesthetic Choices
00:34:59
Speaker
Like, I don't like the conditioner because it doesn't condition like I need it to condition. It doesn't feel like it doesn't slip if I'm like, it doesn't. Is that like how you describe that? Yeah, I get what you're saying. Well, it just doesn't feel saturated.
00:35:17
Speaker
But yeah. I really want to get braids. I'm tired of doing my hair. I want to get braids so bad. I'm trying to decide. So I have my makeup trial on Saturday. Should I do my hair so I get the full visual? Or do I just like, you know. Raymond, how are you wearing your hair for the wedding? Yeah, that is a great question. I did wonder that as well.
00:35:46
Speaker
Like, are you doing like a sew-in? For who? Yours? No, yours. Oh. Oh. Oh, for Alexis, I don't know. For mine. I was asking about hers. A sew-in? OK. OK. Yeah, you should probably figure that out. Also, nail colors. Is there like, do you tell people specific nail colors you want them to have, or do you like,
00:36:16
Speaker
Just let them decide. I think you tell people because Angel already asked me. And I was like, I don't care as long as it's not like wine grain or something. Yeah, because I got asked and I was like, I don't know. I'll get back to you. And that wasn't for me to like cross my mind. I figured we were going to go together. I mean, not like everybody, but like at least the three of us. And then I would have like dealt with that issue when we got there. I don't think anyone's going to notice unless it's like
00:36:45
Speaker
lime green or something yeah yeah yeah like i'm still i don't even know what i'm doing to my nails i know my toes are gonna be blue like uh yeah like a pale baby blue because and i can't the one thing i don't have is something borrowed so if i ask you for something the day i just don't question it i don't know what i'm gonna ask but i'm gonna ask somebody for something
00:37:18
Speaker
Well, for Lester's wedding, I'm thinking of getting a silk press and I'm buying clip-ins and I need to buy these clip-ins like now. How about mine off of Amazon? Great quality. I'm buying mine from better length and I'm gonna go get a silk press at Pressed Roots and they put in clip-ins too. Yes, they do. I'm determining if I want to do that too.
00:37:44
Speaker
but I don't know, like, am I gonna be in the water when I get on the cruise? Like, it's been so long since I've been on a cruise that I don't know what you do. I mean, you probably could get in the water. I'm getting my hair done literally the next morning before we leave. Oh my gosh, Alexis, yes. Honeymoon braids. This is your chance. I don't have time. To get knotless. I don't have time. We, so, we'll be at the hotel and then I'm pretty sure his,
00:38:13
Speaker
best man and his wife and then his stepsister or cousin. I don't know how she's related to the family. They're gonna wanna go to brunch. Then we have to go return all of the suits because they have to be back by the second and we won't be here on the second. And then once we do that, then we're going to Houston.
00:38:32
Speaker
and then we'll stay in Houston that night and then the next day we'll get up and drive to Calvary because it's 45 minutes away. If you don't find yourself a little Houston brighter Houston brighter they get you done three hours flat. A quick a quick like 250. We'll see. Alexis you put too much stuff on your list. I don't know what to get you.
00:38:57
Speaker
I put everything that my heart desired because if nobody buys it, I want my 20% off coupon.
Balancing Social Plans and Commitments
00:39:03
Speaker
When I, when I tell you a ninja foodie, cause they were like super cheap over black Friday and I was like, no, I ain't going to buy one. No, every single kitchen product that my heart desired is on that list. I even put an Xbox on there because I put the ice maker on there.
00:39:23
Speaker
Great, so nobody's gonna buy it, but. Nobody's buying you that ice maker. I want my 20% off coupon, that's all I care about. And then there's like honeymoon funds. Yeah, my mom was like, are they going on a cruise or something? I was like, yeah, she goes, are they going on a carnival cruise? I go, yeah, she goes, is Raven going on a carnival cruise? I go, yeah, I think so.
00:39:51
Speaker
And she goes, Oh, why didn't they go on Virgin Cruises? They're so new and like pretty. That was not what I got to deal for. I was like, Mom, I don't know. Discount when we booked it before we even knew. I was like, Mom, I don't know. But I really want to do a Virgin's cruise. Same. Isn't it like adults only? Yes. And oh, my gosh, I was like telling I was like, OK, yeah, family cruise next year. And my brothers are like, I don't want to go on a cruise. How much is it? Dang it. Never mind.
00:40:20
Speaker
It's like the same price. I was like, that's all right. Sure. But actually, no, because I have two people underage. Oh, oh. Yeah. Have you put any more thought into that? Nope.
00:40:36
Speaker
I'm gonna act like it does not exist and then just hope everything works out No, that's what I've been doing and I was like wait Alexis's bridal shower is like next weekend I need to order her gift probably like soon I'm gonna get a pink outfit for cheap It probably some time to come in I'm sure you're stressing me out. I also don't have a pink outfit. I
00:41:00
Speaker
Me and Raven, like the week before we leave and be like, oh, where's Casey and Raven? We're both at separate targets. I was thinking about going to like Goodwill and going thrifting or something. Oh, yeah. Or like Texas Thrift. I love Texas Thrift. I want to be I want to be a little thrift girly. Raven, what are you doing this weekend? Nothing Saturday morning.
00:41:28
Speaker
Oh, I'm not getting up in the morning. Well, like, how early is early? Well, I mean, I have something to do Saturday afternoon, so like... Tomorrow, well... I get off of work at three, but you probably don't. Have a dinner tomorrow. Dang, Raven. Monday. Monday. What?
00:41:56
Speaker
I don't know what I'm doing on Monday. I mean, I definitely gotta go to work. Well, yeah, me too. And then after work, it goes... After work? I don't really do much after work. Let's see. So I'm back to Saturday morning. Okay, but what does Saturday morning mean? Like 10. Where are we going?
00:42:24
Speaker
i don't know i get up at like 7 30 every single day i mean i mean i do too but like i get up but i am notorious for getting up eating breakfast and then going back to bed oh yeah let's go thrifting because i still gotta find mirrors okay what about what the heck i feel like we're kind of settling on saturday morning tomorrow after like six i work until 10
00:42:52
Speaker
um dang well now i'm back to saturday morning at 10 okay but from like 10 to like how long i don't know well when do you have your thing to do in the afternoon i don't really have anything planned planned okay well i have to be somewhere at 230 so you'll make it
00:43:21
Speaker
Why can't I just- Ooh. Ooh. While we're on the topic of Saturdays, what are y'all doing next Saturday? After one? Um, I have to work at five. Oh, boo. Why? Because we're going to heat breath sweatshirts. I'm telling you, I can hang out until like this is going to work. I gotta go to work.
Wedding RSVPs and Logistics Challenges
00:43:43
Speaker
Whatever. What about like Friday after like- Raven! 4.30.
00:43:49
Speaker
I work. When? Which Friday? Yeah, 4 to 10. Oh, I don't work next Friday. We got two weekends. Well, I can't do the 21st though. Dude. Dude, that's the only weekend I got free. Well, not free. So what I'm hearing is either Sunday, once a month.
00:44:15
Speaker
A what date? I heard crazy. Crazy. What does that mean? Not really crazy, but like we might go to like Pappadoe and spend a little bit of money money and then like do something throughout the day. When you say crazy, I assume we're like bungee jumping off of Trinity River. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Oh, not like crazy as we might be spending a little bit more money than we usually do. Oh.
00:44:43
Speaker
but that's a good idea. He won't go skydiving with me. I need to, I literally have paid for my skydiving thing. I just have to make the appointment and go. I wanna go. Aren't you supposed to go with her? Well, Cameron, I, Cameron got super impatient. So then I was like, okay, sibling, we're gonna do a sibling thing. But now we just like haven't gone. We both like have bought our thing and I need to go because it expires in a year.
00:45:14
Speaker
Yeah, that would probably be beneficial. I know, and it was like a hundred bucks. I feel like I have so much to do, but every time I think about doing it, I feel like there's nothing left to do. Oh, okay. Update on the DJ story for anybody that cares. Um, the new guy?
00:45:39
Speaker
Seems pretty cool. He also does like a photo booth service. So I'm hoping he'll want to toss that in, you know, for my pain and suffering and convenience. But I highly doubt it. We'll find out on Tuesday updates next week because we have a Zoom call together. And yeah, yeah, we're getting down to it. Almost. Oh, and
00:46:09
Speaker
A lot of invitations keep getting sent back. And I just want to know, did people change their address in the time span of me sending out save the dates to me sending out invitations? Because I'm tired of asking for your address. It's either correct and you're coming or it's not. You got however many how many days are in January 31. Minus five. You got about 20 something days left. I can't count right now.
00:46:38
Speaker
Oh, to RSVP? Yeah. So you get it. You get it. If you don't, you don't. He wants me to send out a mass email to everyone to let them know that they need to RSVP by the first. I feel like that's not my responsibility. Maybe you should have read the cute little cards that I printed out. But that's OK. That's OK. Oh, I did a I RSVP. Yeah. After I bullied everybody at my job to do it, they finally did it.
Podcast Content Reflections
00:47:11
Speaker
And now people are trying to book their hotels, and we only have two room blocks, and they keep assuming that we have room blocks at every other hotel listed on Thingy! Rude! Wait, that sounded rude. It's specified. Just look on the website. You know what? Let me stop talking about people. That sounded bad. Check the website. Maybe that should be my resolution. Mm-hmm. Yeah.
00:47:39
Speaker
Uh-uh. No. Raven, we would not have a podcast to let you stop talking about people. Think of the content. We spent the first 20 minutes of this podcast talking about people. That cannot be a resolution any of us have. You know, the one episode my mom listened to this podcast, she was like,
00:48:09
Speaker
It's like y'all are just having a conversation and you don't even realize that there's people actually going to listen to this. No, sometimes, sometimes I don't remember the things that we say on podcasts and the things that we say after the podcast pauses. Sometimes I have to go back and check because I'd be like, do we like actually say that like out loud?
00:48:29
Speaker
I say one episode, we just name drop a ton of people and have no regrets because what are they going to do, sue us? You're the one against name dropping, so please. Actually, no, because if I was, I would have bleeped out every time Raven says somebody's name. Did I? No, I left it in.
00:48:47
Speaker
That's only because, y'all, we don't know how to bleep stuff out. That was not like a conscious choice on her effort. None of us have the internet savvy to be out here bleeping out words. Don't make us sound old. I am very tech savvy. I just haven't mastered that part of the internet yet. Well, y'all, this was a very groovy hour.
00:49:15
Speaker
I had a great time. It really was. We will not be recapping The Bachelor. Who knows if we'll even watch. Yeah. I'm deep into the originals right now. So that's really taking up my time. I'm also on a mission to read 20 books this year, so therefore I also have to do that. I'm on a mission to read 10 books this year, so I really have to do that. Should we bring back Book Club?
00:49:44
Speaker
No, no, because I have a very important memoir I need to read next week. So that's going to take all my time. Prince Harry. The spare comes out in five days. And I am playing a lot of games on my switch, so that's really taking up my time.
Future Podcast Plans
00:50:06
Speaker
Oh, same. I had to restart my island. I think I said this already, but I'm at the part where I have to build the museum.
00:50:13
Speaker
and I'm building the nook shop. I don't recall when building the museum, I had to bring him 15 different fish, not just, sorry, hit the mic, not just 15 fish. And it's really just like hindering my abilities. And I put my museum in the worst spot because I forgot that eventually they're gonna update guest services. And I put my museum right behind guest services.
00:50:40
Speaker
Oh, I don't like the setup of my island, but that's okay. I also don't have it memorized yet, so that's also another thing. But yeah, would you prefer a crock pot? A comforter. I actually can take that crock pot off. We just bought one. Okay. A comforter and something else to go with it. A comforter because we've gotten a lot of kitchen stuff.
00:51:10
Speaker
just nothing for like bedding okay so do you know you have duvet covers not the actual comforter it's on there or at least it should be i see a white comforter but then the other two are like duvet covers yeah i know what you're talking about it's like they're both tan oh yeah one of them stands so you do want the cover and the comforter
00:51:37
Speaker
Yeah, are you on the Zola website or are you like on the actual Amazon registry? I'm on the Zola website. Okay, it doesn't update all of them, so some things are different now. Oh. So how do I get to your Amazon registry? I can send you the link. Cool, send it to me too. Oh wait, hold on.
00:52:06
Speaker
There we go. Menu share. OK. Casey, did you make our new cover art? No.
00:52:34
Speaker
But I have a lot of free time apparently in the weekends to come. I'll send y'all some practice ones. This was great. This was fun. Bye guys. I had a great time. Great hangout. Let's do this again next week. Maybe you can make us a cool intro while you're at it. Oh my gosh.
Podcast Farewell
00:53:00
Speaker
I made us a cool intro and then we used it all of one time. Twice. We used it all of two times. Okay, that's because we stopped talking about paradise. Anyways, goodbye. Bye. Bye. Love y'all.
