00:06:49
The Amazing Rewatch
It's also a great one. They're all good. We had a few guests. Yeah, that's what i was just going to say. We interviewed Mark and Brett from season 37.
00:07:00
The Amazing Rewatch
we
00:07:13
The Amazing Rewatch
And let's see who else. And then we interviewed lo from season he was fun.
00:07:20
The Amazing Rewatch
sixteen and he was fun Yeah, that was a really fun chat with him. he Did I say on the podcast? Because we had some like technical difficulties when we were trying to set up the interview with him. And so i he gave me his phone number to text him or like call him so that we could figure out...
00:07:41
The Amazing Rewatch
uh what was going on anyway so he had my phone number in his phone and after he listened to the season he like texted me a couple of times and like gave his feedback and um said that he like really enjoyed listening to the season and stuff so that was kind of fun to get some real time ah
00:08:02
The Amazing Rewatch
not real time I guess because it was a long time ago but Get some feedback from an actual racer. And we met Joe and Bill this year. Was that this year? Yeah. That was at the beginning of the year. That was like right before I went to Iceland. So that was in January.
00:08:15
The Amazing Rewatch
That's coming up again. Joe and Bill, if you're listening, we want you to come see us again in Utah if you come. That was so fun. I was just thinking about that. Like they come here to ski and we have no snow. So i wonder if they're even coming out this year. It's been like 60 degrees. Up until just like a couple days Yeah, it's cooled off a lot. And I just ran from my car to your door and it's freezing. Like when the sun goes down,
00:08:39
The Amazing Rewatch
It's really, really cold. Yeah. But like the week of Christmas, it was so warm. like It was like 62 on Christmas. Record yeah temperatures for this time of year. So it's crazy. So yeah, I hope that it cools down and we get some snow for the ski season. Yeah. um Yeah.
00:08:57
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. So we, yeah, we went and met Joe and Bill in person. we went to dinner with them. It was really fun to get to know them. And then we also met um the couple from Utah who raced. Oh, yeah. Lori and Scott.
00:09:16
The Amazing Rewatch
And also. we went to their watch party. And um Garrett and.
00:09:23
The Amazing Rewatch
What is his name? Oh my gosh, it just left me. Joel. Joel. Yeah. We even have an uncle, Joel. We always say Joel and Garrett. Yeah. Instead of Garrett and Joel. Yeah. That was confusing. Joel and Garrett. Yeah.
00:09:34
The Amazing Rewatch
So they, um Scott and Lori had like a watch party for an episode they were on here in Utah. So we went and watched that and Joel and Garrett were there as like guests as well. So.
00:09:47
The Amazing Rewatch
I still have their t-shirt. It's really comfortable. I wear it to sleep in. Yeah. So, yeah, we've had a good year when it comes to the podcast race. And yeah there was a couple seasons of the race this year still have not finished 38. Me either. And I think I heard who won.
00:10:07
The Amazing Rewatch
i know who won And i think if you watch from episode two, you will know who won. Yeah. i I've been hearing people talking about it and they all have a similar experience.
00:10:21
The Amazing Rewatch
feelings about it that it's not their favorite season and there were no equalizers and it was just different and yeah I still want to watch it yeah for sure and now that it's all out it'll be easy to just like go through and yeah just binge watch but obviously so obviously still a great show just interesting that we're getting so far into the show they need to do more to keep it going mm-hmm They can't stop filming until we get on the show.
00:10:50
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. That was one thing that we did this year too. We applied to be on the race. Obviously, we didn't think get on the show. did not hear anything yet, but... We will try again. Crossing our fingers for someday. Yeah. So...
00:11:03
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. So that's our amazing race, the show, the podcast overview of 2025. And then what else did you, oh, the Spotify wrapped. Sadie thought it might be like fun to, oh yeah.
00:11:20
The Amazing Rewatch
My Spotify wrapped is going to be very different than yours. why well maybe not as far as like the content but just like the time oh like how many listen how many time how many ah how many minutes minutes i don't know because i listen to a lot of podcasts and it counts that right or does it count only just how much music you listen to I don't know.
00:11:44
The Amazing Rewatch
Just so we, our cousin Casey, who has been on the podcast once before and we talk about him sometimes, his Spotify wrapped. He, it like, 100,000 minutes or something. And my listening time is 18,000. Yeah. He just listens to a lot of music. Mine's 32,000.
00:12:02
The Amazing Rewatch
So my top artists are Casey Musgraves is number one, Taylor Swift two, Cam, Maren Morris, and Lainey Wilson. m So that's, and I'm not surprised by any of that. No.
00:12:18
The Amazing Rewatch
But my top songs, number one is Part of Your World from The Little Mermaid. is Pink Pony Club. Three is Golden from K-pop Demon Hunters. That's my number one actually. and Number four is Too Good to Be True by Kacey Musgraves. Then number five is What It Sounds Like by K-pop Demon Hunters again.
00:12:36
The Amazing Rewatch
Yep. i've got I've got a few of those too. so yeah My top artists were Taylor Swift. I was definitely on a Life of a Showgirl. i personally love that album. I know that a lot of people don't.
00:12:49
The Amazing Rewatch
I love it. And i listen to it a lot. But then i also have listened to a lot of her old stuff. um Number two is Huntrix.
00:13:00
The Amazing Rewatch
Number three is Kelly Clarkson. Number four is Rachel Ziegler. I'm pretty sure we listened to the Snow White um soundtrack quite a bit after the movie came out.
00:13:12
The Amazing Rewatch
And then number five is Saja Boys. Saja Boys. So top song was Golden. um Number two was Enchanted by Taylor Swift. Enchanted Taylor's version.
00:13:23
The Amazing Rewatch
Number three is Soda Pop. Number four is Lover, Taylor Swift. I think that's one of my favorite Taylor Swift songs. I don't know why. I just, I i love Lover. That's a good one. And number five is Ready For It, Taylor Swift.
00:13:37
The Amazing Rewatch
So I have like a playlist um on there that's like Taylor Swift songs that the kids can listen to. Mm-hmm. A lot of it's more of her earlier stuff that is more kid-friendly.
00:13:52
The Amazing Rewatch
has some from like later. but Yeah. So that's where those come from. Where is all my other Spotify wrapped stuff? Yeah, i don't know how to do this. There's like a lot of... You can't see a lot of... Unless you open it.
00:14:05
The Amazing Rewatch
Well, i opened it and you can't really see as much information as the day of. 18,135 minutes.
00:14:14
The Amazing Rewatch
I listened to 79 genres. That's a lot of genres. yeah I didn't know there was that many. Yeah. Your top genres, K-pop, musicals, Christmas, electronica, and country.
00:14:30
The Amazing Rewatch
That's annoying. I want to see. okay. um So my top album was Deeper Well.
00:14:39
The Amazing Rewatch
course. um K-pop was number two. American Romance by Lucas Nelson, number three, which is an amazing. a Golden Hour, KC Musgraves, and um gold Goldie Boutier. Wait, what are these?
00:14:55
The Amazing Rewatch
Top albums. Oh. And I'm only looking at them through recently deleted recently deleted Pictures because you can't see them on Spotify. My top podcast was The Bad Broadcast.
00:15:11
The Amazing Rewatch
Mine's probably that as well. So my top artist, like I said, was Kacey Musgraves. I am her top 0.07% global fan.
00:15:21
The Amazing Rewatch
Wow. Do you get a prize for that? That means I should automatically get a concert to or something first in line for a concert ticket.
00:15:31
The Amazing Rewatch
Oh, here's my top albums. K-pop Demon Hunters, Life of a Showgirl, Snow White, and Wicked. That's That's pretty good. Yeah. i streamed 13,844 minutes of podcasts.
00:15:42
The Amazing Rewatch
My top podcast was Drama Queens. The One Tree Hill recap. But it's over now, so. They're done, done? Mm-hmm. They watched all nine seasons.
00:15:52
The Amazing Rewatch
Hmm. And I was a top 17% fan of that one.
00:15:56
The Amazing Rewatch
Drama Queens, The Bad Broadcast, Lucy's Best Friends, Pop Apologist, and Ask Two Lawyers. That one, the Ask Two Lawyers, they are, it was really interesting to listen to them about the um Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively stuff because they like take the evidence as a lawyer and say, in my opinion, this person has a better case.
00:16:22
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. So it was like a legal perspective, not just a who we like better. Pop culture. Yeah. Nice. Okay. Okay. What about your books? Do you do Goodreads?
00:16:35
The Amazing Rewatch
um No. Goodreads is such a bad app. I just signed up for Goodreads, but I did listen to three audiobooks on Spotify. Yeah.
00:16:45
The Amazing Rewatch
The Briar Club, The Wedding People, and I can't even remember the other one. Let's see.
00:16:52
The Amazing Rewatch
But I have most of them on Audible. you You read a lot more than me. And you also read physical books too. My goal was to read 25 books this year. I had 27. Nice.
00:17:04
The Amazing Rewatch
I was going to maybe get 28, but I'm too tired tonight. yeah
00:17:10
The Amazing Rewatch
um I mean, you still have tomorrow, I guess. so Also on Goodreads, so on the books that I have counted, I've read 27. But on Goodreads, I've only read 22 because I've read i write a few fan fictions that you can't find on Goodreads.
00:17:30
The Amazing Rewatch
But they're as long or longer than regular books, so I'm counting them. Yeah.
00:17:36
The Amazing Rewatch
um One, two.
00:17:39
The Amazing Rewatch
Six, seven. Six, seven? I didn't even mean to do that. I was just counting books.
00:17:49
The Amazing Rewatch
ah probably read well i probably listened
00:17:55
The Amazing Rewatch
fourteen books this year maybe like 17 and then i read one physical book so 18 that's like actually probably a record for me yeah what was your physical book um the small and the mighty actually no that was last year oh so I don't know if I actually read no I did read I did read um Beach read. Beach read?
00:18:25
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. I did read that one. A physical book. So, yes. Nice. So, 27 books. My favorite one of the year is probably Homegoing.
00:18:38
The Amazing Rewatch
I read that one in February. That was the one that's like...
00:18:42
The Amazing Rewatch
It's about like two sisters in Africa in like the 1700s. And one of them is sold as a slave and one of them marries like a British officer. And then it goes through their two descendants for like generations. think you did tell me about this one. That one sounded good.
00:18:58
The Amazing Rewatch
And how each... How like their... That decision in their life has affected like multiple generations and... That was really fascinating. It was really, really good.
00:19:10
The Amazing Rewatch
Another favorite was probably Manacled. I read that twice. And then I read Alchemized. So I was really obsessed with that this year. And probably my least favorite book was...
00:19:25
The Amazing Rewatch
The Boyfriend. She's the same author that wrote The Housemaid. i just felt it was very predictable. Yeah. And kind of boring. And Margo's Got Money Troubles.
00:19:37
The Amazing Rewatch
Didn't really love that one. Oh, Atmosphere was another favorite. That one was really good.
00:19:42
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah.
00:19:43
The Amazing Rewatch
I'm looking at our book club books.
00:19:46
The Amazing Rewatch
So...
00:19:48
The Amazing Rewatch
I would say probably my favorite that I read of the year was The Women by Kristen Hanna. That was our January book club book. Yeah, that's such a good one. And it was really good.
00:20:02
The Amazing Rewatch
My least favorite...
00:20:05
The Amazing Rewatch
i don't know. I'm not like...
00:20:07
The Amazing Rewatch
and don't know how to describe... how I rate books because it's not very often that I finish a book and I'm like, oh my gosh, that's the best thing I've ever read. But it's also not very often that i finish a book and say that's the worst thing I've ever read. Pretty much everything I read is just like, that was good.
00:20:24
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. I um, like
00:20:29
The Amazing Rewatch
i don't I don't hardly give but it like any books five stars because, yeah, I'm like, to be five stars, you have to be like literally perfect. That's what five stars means. But I don't give anything like less than two because I'm like, the effort to write a book right yeah is more than, I think the lowest um I've ever given it a book is two.
00:20:51
The Amazing Rewatch
So you are you're mostly a 3, 4 star. Yeah. Raider. Yeah, like, oh my gosh. Goodreads is such a bad app. It's so crazy how, like,
00:21:03
The Amazing Rewatch
outdated it Isn't it an Amazon? Yeah. And Jeff Bezos has, like, so much money you could think that he could update this app. It's such an outdated, it's like it's a 2014 app and it hasn't been updated since then.
00:21:16
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah, it's really annoying. My average rating for 2025 was 3.9. Highest rating was the Nightingale by Kristen Hanna. I gave that one five stars.
00:21:28
The Amazing Rewatch
But that was a reread, so I didn't count that as my best book of the year. But I also gave Homegoing five stars. Nice.
00:21:35
The Amazing Rewatch
And Alchemized. That one's on Goodreads? Yeah. Oh, Alchemize. That's the actual Medical is actually on Goodreads. And I gave that one five stars. But like four other fan fictions I read are not on that
00:21:49
The Amazing Rewatch
it. I was So that Kristen Hanna book was the first one I've read of hers. And I did like hers. And I think we have that on one of our 2026 book club list but The women?
00:22:15
The Amazing Rewatch
And I did listen to two of her books and read that one. Hers are easy to just listen to. Yeah. Just like. and Emily Henry or um Abby Jimenez or k Christina Lauren.
00:22:31
The Amazing Rewatch
I like to listen to those like on Spotify just in between podcast episodes and other books that I'm reading. They're like so easy to hurry and listen to. Yeah. Another good book I read was The bat but the Betrayal of Anne Frank.
00:22:46
The Amazing Rewatch
Oh. I don't usually listen to books like that, but that one's really interesting because I didn't really even know until this year that they don't even know who betrayed Anne Frank. Yeah.
00:22:57
The Amazing Rewatch
And so this book, it was it's like years and years and years of research and detectives and... police And like so many people working together to try and find out who did it.
00:23:09
The Amazing Rewatch
And they have like four pretty good ideas. ideas But they can't say like 100% sure yeah any of them. And they said that Anne Frank's dad note knew.
00:23:22
The Amazing Rewatch
But he never gave it away because he said it doesn't like it doesn't matter. Like. What happened happened. It doesn't Yeah, what happened happened, and they made that decision, and they don't need to be, like, them and their entire, like, lineage moving forward. in posterity. Yeah, has a black mark on them. Yeah, it doesn't have to be, like, shunned and discriminated against. and I guess that's true.
00:23:49
The Amazing Rewatch
He's a better person than I am. Yeah. But, yeah, that one was really interesting.
00:23:54
The Amazing Rewatch
Hmm. So, movies. I need to get letterboxed. I've never even heard of that. It's like pretty much like Goodreads, but for movies. Just for movies? Yeah. Well, let's see if I have a – – my Cinemark app usually tells me what tickets I've bought, doesn't it? Well, I can tell you my favorite movie of the year was Sinners.
00:24:14
The Amazing Rewatch
Okay. Sinners? didn't watch it. I think it came out in like April. And me and Georgie went and saw it in theaters. The biggest reason I wanted to see it is because it has um Jack O'Connell in it. And we have loved him for years and years and years.
00:24:30
The Amazing Rewatch
But I didn't see it for the first couple weeks because I thought it be too scary. Because it's about vampires. But yeah we went and saw it. And I think about it probably like every single day.
00:24:40
The Amazing Rewatch
It is... your Roman Empire. Yeah. it is incredible. It's incredible. Everything about it is so good. Like, it's perfect. You should watch it.
00:24:51
The Amazing Rewatch
It's not even that scary. i could I could watch it by myself without being scared. But is it like, violent and bloody? Because I don't like that. Yeah, but not, like, not... What is, like, a horrible, bloody one that you don't like that you've watched before?
00:25:06
The Amazing Rewatch
Like... I... Not many. It's not as bad as so many things. Like there is blood because they're vampires, obviously, but it's not like the worst.
00:25:16
The Amazing Rewatch
i don't know. It's just so good. It is so good. And the music is like, gosh, I literally can't even say how good it is. Do you think, is it like is it like an Oscar movie? Oh, yeah. Or is it?
00:25:29
The Amazing Rewatch
It's definitely going to get nominated for Oscars. Okay. I bet like best screenplay, best directing, of course, best music. I bet two songs will be best song Nice. Like, oh my gosh.
00:25:44
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. So good. And Michael B. Jordan plays a set of twins. And he does such a good job that you like literally don't even think that it's the same person. It's like Lindsay Lohan in The Parrot Trap.
00:25:55
The Amazing Rewatch
Better. yeah
00:25:59
The Amazing Rewatch
may Is it on like a streaming service right now? I think it's on Yeah. maybe You just need to log into my HBO. Okay.
00:26:09
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. I... um
00:26:12
The Amazing Rewatch
Well, looking at my Cinemark app, apparently I didn't watch one movie in theaters until October. Really? Of this year. Wow. And I went to the Taylor Swift Life of a Showgirl release party. And then Fantastic Four, First Steps in October.
00:26:27
The Amazing Rewatch
Zootopia 2 in November. And The House Made Twice. Literally two days in a row. In December. How do you see where you... All pass tickets. It's at all orders.

00:27:53
The Amazing Rewatch
I have been watching One Tree Hill to like follow along with the Drama Queens podcast and I finished that. And I rewatched Lost, but that might have been last year.
00:28:05
The Amazing Rewatch

00:28:20
The Amazing Rewatch
We watched The Great British Baking Show. Yes, I did do that. It wasn't the best season. um Outlander, think. Was that this year or was that last year?
00:28:32
The Amazing Rewatch
I've only seen the first two seasons of that. it Well, it gets the first season is the best and then it just like... goes it's still a good show but the first season is the best yeah like I could watch the first season many times yeah but I don't think I could rewatch the other like especially the last couple of seasons I don't think I could watch them over and over because they're bad or they have they're just like qua stuff not as good um well stranger things has been great um i haven't watched that either never one episode the last episode comes out tomorrow last episode of all time comes out tomorrow it's just one episode oh i thought it was like so they had four episodes the day before or four episodes on thanksgiving three episodes on christmas day and then this one hmm
00:29:22
The Amazing Rewatch
There's so many fan theories and stuff. This season is not nearly as good as other seasons. But... So this last episode has to do a lot of... lot. you To live up to... This the show. um What else?
00:29:41
The Amazing Rewatch
I can't even remember. Like 2025 TV. Yeah. um I have, i do usually watch Abbott Elementary. i love yeah, that one. I haven't watched like this latest few episodes.

The Amazing Rewatch
It's the same creator as Sex and the City. Oh, I didn't know that. Pretty sure. Younger was, I liked that one. And now that we have finished Brooklyn Nine-Nine, I've been like trying to think of, because we like to just have like a comedy that we can watch a couple of episodes here and there, you know.
00:31:17
The Amazing Rewatch
yeah um So I was thinking maybe like King of Queens because I don't know if I've ever seen that all the way through. and i think it's funny. And.
00:31:27
The Amazing Rewatch
yeah he's the creator of Sex and the City.
00:31:31
The Amazing Rewatch
Which I actually rewatched this year. for like the fourth time and it's i've never seen it good oh and and just like that finished this year which is the sex in city the reboot reboot and it was bizarre like so bizarre and then like the second to last episode came out and then they were like The show's over.
00:31:57
The Amazing Rewatch
There's one more episode and we're never doing any other episodes. Because I think it just got such bad ratings. It was so bad. But it didn't wrap anything up.

00:37:11
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. Personally. And the year of the snake is apparently like a year of like Shedding.
00:37:37
The Amazing Rewatch
So the year of the snake is like the... In Chinese zodiac, it's the year nine. And like everything starts over at nine. So next year, the horse is year one. It's not 12. There's not a... Isn't there 12?
00:37:50
The Amazing Rewatch
Not a month. A year. Not months. Oh. But I thought there was 12 animals for the Chinese zodiac.
00:38:10
The Amazing Rewatch
The year of the snake. You learn truth. You experience truth, grief, endings, detox, end of cycles, shedding, and lifting of veils. In the year air of the Horus, you'll experience movement, new beginnings, alignment, freedom, return to truth, beauty, passion, flow, power, and opportunity.
00:38:25
The Amazing Rewatch
And I really, really... really
00:38:28
The Amazing Rewatch
connect with that. The year of the snake has really been that for me. Like, realizing things. Yeah. The Kylie Jenner thing. Yeah.
00:38:40
The Amazing Rewatch
I don't know what you're talking about. Yeah. know It's like from years and years ago. She's like, this year I want to, but this year I just really realized things. Yeah.
00:38:53
The Amazing Rewatch
No, it was, i I really feel like this year I changed so much more than I have in all, like a lot of years past combined for the good. yeah And it's been a really, really good year for me personally. So not like nothing major has happened. I haven't had any like huge events in my life personally, just like me as a person. Like I feel so much better about so many things in my life.
00:39:19
The Amazing Rewatch
I did get a new job. That was a big deal. Yeah. And just, yeah, it was a really good year. So I'm so very excited for 2026, the of the horse.
00:39:30
The Amazing Rewatch
Good. Yeah. i I feel like that resonates. Like I didn't really have a ah whole lot of big changes either. um and I don't really feel like I...
00:39:42
The Amazing Rewatch
did like the shedding. It was just kind of like a really stable year. Like just, just moving on keeping on. Um, but I have been working on my new business and that's going to launch like the first couple weeks of January. And if it all works out the way that I hope it does, then that is going to be like big.
00:40:08
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. And the start of a nine year cycle. Yes. Yeah. pra good I just feel like this year has set the tone and the base for lots of good things to happen in this next year.
00:40:21
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. Are you a new New Year's resolution type person? Not the last few years I haven't. I've like set myself like two or three really attainable ones that are like realistic. Like last year I said I want to spend more time in Utah and like explore more areas that ah in Utah, which I did.
00:40:41
The Amazing Rewatch
like i'm not i have for a long time i haven't been like i'm gonna lose 10 pounds by this day or i'm gonna read every single day 365 days i'm gonna cut out soda for you know like i'm not doing any of that like i want to set more like intentions than resolutions yeah
00:41:01
The Amazing Rewatch
yeah that's kind of how i am It goes back and forth. Like sometimes I'm like, okay, like that's a goal I could do Sometimes I'm like, eh, I don't even care that much. Yeah.
00:41:13
The Amazing Rewatch
So if you could pick three words take 2026, what what they
00:41:20
The Amazing Rewatch
what would they be yeah
00:41:22
The Amazing Rewatch
um Well, the first word that came to my mind when you said that was momentum. That's a good one. um You say one.
00:41:33
The Amazing Rewatch
We'll go back and forth. Let me think of the next one. You said momentum. um I'm going to say whimsy. Oh. Okay.
00:41:44
The Amazing Rewatch
Whimsy. I want my life to be more whimsical. Nice. Nice. I, how what's one word to um encompass like trying to be on my phone less?
00:42:02
The Amazing Rewatch
Presence. Yeah. Okay. That's a good one. I was going to say like detox, but I like presence better. That would be one of my words too. Okay. So we can have that times two. Yeah.
00:42:13
The Amazing Rewatch
And
00:42:14
The Amazing Rewatch
i think intention is another one. like Yeah, that's a good one. Just do more things like with intention and romanticize. I'll say four words.
00:42:25
The Amazing Rewatch
Okay. Whimsy, presence, intention, and romanticize. Okay. So momentum, presence,
00:42:35
The Amazing Rewatch
um...
00:42:36
The Amazing Rewatch
like
00:42:39
The Amazing Rewatch
positivity like or like mindset i don't know just like keeping in my brain that I am capable and remembering that yeah
00:42:52
The Amazing Rewatch
yeah Before, i don't know. I have been working on like the sales page for launching this new travel agent program. And every time I look at the price of the program, I have a different feeling about it.
00:43:09
The Amazing Rewatch
like I look at it and I'm like, nobody's going to pay that. And then I look at that and I'm like, that's not enough. And then I look at it again and I'm like, nobody's going to pay that. and then I look at it again I'm like, I should charge more. like I've been very weird about it m and i think the thing that like is making me feel like i'm charging too much is like like i don't have all my stuff together who would want to learn from me but also
00:43:40
The Amazing Rewatch
I've been in the travel business for six years and I've learned a lot and i have a lot to teach people and I've worked really hard on this. So I am capable. So what is that word out of for everything I just said? What's one word for that? Well, you could say capable. Yeah.
00:43:58
The Amazing Rewatch
Or confidence. Yeah.
00:44:00
The Amazing Rewatch
Power. Mm-hmm.
00:44:02
The Amazing Rewatch
those um like where it just like has like the all the letters and then like the random words like put in there I think I saw one today and my word was breakthrough so I've been learning a lot about um like vision boards too and like the science behind them like it's not all just woo woo it's like like when your brain sees those images, like it has to be, it can't just be like something you think about. It has to be something that you like physically see with your eyeballs and it like registers in your brain as something that's like actually happening so that when those things do happen, your brain's like, yeah, duh, you know?
00:44:40
The Amazing Rewatch
And so it's it's like manifest, maybe that's my word, manifesting. Yeah. So what did you say? So I said momentum, presence,
00:44:51
The Amazing Rewatch
Manifesting. Manifesting and capable. Look good.
00:44:56
The Amazing Rewatch
um Yeah. So maybe we should do a vision board. Put it in front of me every day. Mine's going to say, finish your degree.
00:45:06
The Amazing Rewatch
Yes. That's all it's going to say all over the roof. Just kidding. Well, and you only have, what, like six weeks to do that? so Nine. Oh, okay. Okay. So just get it done in the beginning of the year and then you've hit your goal and there you go.
00:45:21
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. When that's done, that's going to be a huge relief. And apparently get a new car. Yeah. That was maybe a 2025 thing, but it's not going to happen in 2025. She told, she's like, I'm going to the dealership. I'm getting a new car. then I pulled up and she had her same car.
00:45:36
The Amazing Rewatch
So. I was also kind of proud of myself because I was like, I wasn't, Swindled. Swindled. I would have probably walked away with a new car whether I wanted it or not because... yeah and I was like very like, I know what I want and I know what I'm looking for and I don't want you to convince me otherwise and I'm going to keep looking and keep looking and I'm not going to commit today and like...
00:46:01
The Amazing Rewatch
Nice. It was, i yeah, got a lot of good information and i didn't walk away signing away a new car. but Also, why are why does it make me sentimental and like nostalgic? i'm like, this car has been went through so much with me. it's That car, you truly just have the worst luck i know with cars.
00:46:23
The Amazing Rewatch
I know. But it's been a good car. It's eight but it's eight years old now. Eight. Yeah. How long have I had my Tucson? We got it when CC, like before CC was born. So it'll be eight years this summer.
00:46:36
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah.
00:46:37
The Amazing Rewatch
I saw something today, actually right before I came over here that it was like, Social media just like really, really convinces us that we need stuff. Like it's very normal to drive a car that's more than 10 years old. And it's very normal to wear the same clothes that you've had for five years. And it's very normal. I can't even remember all the things that she said.
00:47:01
The Amazing Rewatch
Like it's very normal to only take one vacation a year and not five or six. Yeah. And... there was just all these things that I'm like, yeah, like, you know, the internet makes us feel like we need to keep up with everybody. And but, no ah but we don't, I know. I honestly, seriously, seriously, I'm considering deleting deleting my tech talk.
00:47:27
The Amazing Rewatch
And when I say that and think about that, i like puts fear in my body. Yeah. And that tells even more that I need to disconnect from it. Yeah, like that like an issue in itself. Yes. Like I have a fear that I'm going to miss out on everything happening in the world. like, who even am I without TikTok?
00:47:44
The Amazing Rewatch
Who even am I as a person if I don't know everything that's going on all the time and know all that's happening in like the world and pop culture and like trends and like but that's that's not me yeah well how many times have i said during the course of this last 50 minutes i don't know what you're talking about i don't know what that means yeah because i am not on tiktok and i do not know a lot of the trends and the people and what's going on so It's like I'm a smart, interesting person without TikTok. Yeah.
00:48:15
The Amazing Rewatch
And the fact that I feel so fear of like deleting a social media app is very telling. And TikTok was banned almost a year ago now. Yeah.
00:48:27
The Amazing Rewatch
For like less than 24 hours. And it was the same thing. like i was Like that day I felt like so much like... um like mourning over it. I was like devastated. Yeah.
00:48:43
The Amazing Rewatch
And I, I, that's a problem. So maybe that's, so that's going to happen this year, but that'll be a big deal for me. Yeah. I do have TikTok. I, in fact, posted on it today.
00:48:56
The Amazing Rewatch
I post on TikTok. And I think I've done it like three times in the last year. And i look at it once a quarter.
00:49:05
The Amazing Rewatch
I follow one. i follow one account. No. Who? It's a girl that did a color analysis and got the same color as me. So I just like see what makeup she wears and the clothes that she wears.
00:49:18
The Amazing Rewatch
I follow you too, i think. So like besides people that I know, that's like the only account that I follow, I think. yeah I really need to do it.
00:49:28
The Amazing Rewatch
It's bad for me. Well, how can I help you with that? We're going to be more present this year. Yeah, that's a big step to making that happen. How can you do that? Maybe you just need to do it for me.
00:49:41
The Amazing Rewatch
Oh, I would love to. Just delete it off my phone. How's your brick going? I bought one and I haven't set it up yet. haven't had it set like all Christmas break. Yeah. So like when the next couple days is over, I'm going to be very strict on my brick.
00:49:58
The Amazing Rewatch
That sounds like a like a probably a game show. Yeah. Probably Sunday evening I'm going to be. All right. I feel like that's when real life is starting again is Monday. Yeah.
00:50:12
The Amazing Rewatch
Which seems weird. His New Year's Day is on Thursday. so then it's like, well, okay, we don't want to start anything on a Friday. no definitely not. And then not on the weekend. So Monday, January Yeah.
00:50:29
The Amazing Rewatch
yeah When the kids go back to school and life goes back to normal. yeah But then five days later, it's my anniversary. Not that that we don't really have anything planned, but just like this is how my brain works. It's like, oh, I can't start anything until after all of my milestones are done. But then after my anniversary, it's my birthday and then it's Valentine's Day and then it's yeah like Christmas. Then I'm 50. Then I'm dead. Yeah, exactly.
00:50:55
The Amazing Rewatch
That's how I was with like any sort of like quote unquote diet, you know, like I'll start on a Monday after this. And then that Monday coming, I'm like, oh, well, this is coming up. So I'll start on the Monday after that. Yeah.
00:51:05
The Amazing Rewatch
And then years went by. In the meantime, better get as much ice cream as I can. Exactly. Yes. So the the health journey that I've been on the last couple of years has definitely… rewired my brain to not think like that and it actually has like um like not having that dependent relationship on food and like that mindset around food has helped me with like other things too it's like yeah I can I don't have to wait until the beginning of the month to start this thing that I want to do I can just do it right now yeah yeah I completely agree
00:51:44
The Amazing Rewatch
Removing the food chatter out of your brain leaves a lot more space in your brain. Yeah. For other things. I had to, i had a doctor's appointment today to refill my ADHD medication and I talked to him about the semaglutide. Just like what happens when i phase off of it and he you know He was like, just really make sure that you are eating fruits and vegetables and things with protein and things with fiber to like keep your digestion and your metabolism regular and like don't go back to the habits that you had before. and kind of makes me scared. But I have to get off of it for the surgery. so
00:52:45
The Amazing Rewatch
Any? No, just a good year will flow into an even better year. And we are with our intention. We're going to more intentional about this project as well.
