00:00:33
Speaker
And since we're twins, we obviously share the same sun and moon signs. Yes. So for those of you listening, we are Capricorn sons, which definitely fits us because we can be pretty serious about work. Am I right? We're kind of, we're kind of workaholics. Yes. We're always working towards our next big goal.
00:00:50
Speaker
We do have to live with that famous Capricorn um RBF, you know, resting bee face. yeah We might look like we're mad, but we're really just thinking about like what to have for lunch or something.

Betty White was a Capricorn and she was so sweet and a huge dog lover Yes, and she was hilarious too Okay, and our moon sign is Leo, which also fits because we can be a little dramatic sometimes too, right?

Speaker
I don't know. I feel like I'm having an identity crisis. I feel like I do like sunrises more. I don't know why I said that. I think you do. I've seen more sunrises with you than sunsets. So.
00:02:09

00:02:41
Speaker
Oh, I do like Miami, but I'm not really like a club person and I don't love just sitting on the beach all day. So I would have to go with Orlando. There's just so much more to do. There is. I've never been to Miami, so I got to go with Orlando too.
