1:13

he did I was shocked that he put it in there just me on the outside of the shop just hurling up

1:20

my um but yeah I guess there's not that much to catch up it's just been a little

1:25

middle time in between trips cuz we've been just kind of kind of gone um and

1:31

1:55

2:00

2:06

prepared and this time me and Nate are going together so we're going hunting

2:12

like Thursday through Saturday me and Matt are going and then y'all are meeting us up there Saturday night we're

2:18

2:31

and then that's on Monday and then on Thursday we leave to go to Oklahoma yeah

2:37

are you I can hang Nate can hang I can

2:42

hang I can hang in the day time Abigail does not do well with less

2:50

than 11 hours of sleep per night no but the time change has really has really been good to me though cuz now I can go

2:57

to bed at 8 where that used to be 9 and then I wake up at like 6:30 yeah so

3:04

I get a good what is that like 10 and a half you really do that I do and I sleep

3:12

soundly all through the night wow how much sleep you get in these

3:19

days four four he has a newborn at home give her

3:25

take so they did I will give an update from the last couching up with Katie I got a burrito photo

3:30

sad burrito very sad burrito such a p pitiful burrito and then Matt you both

3:37

sent me crying baby pictures in the same day because he sent me one where they dressed her up like a man Drake and she

3:42

was just screaming hilarious which is funny because like yeah yeah it was hilarious but um I'm I'm shocked you're

3:49

getting four well you know there's not a whole lot I can do a lot of the times oh

3:56

yeah and you're no caffeine that's crazy are you still I am still no

4:02

caffeine how's it going just high on life I'm glad you are I'm just

4:08

cruising there is I mean I guess like when it comes time for like me to birth

4:13

a child I will be off caffeine or at least like on very low amount of caffeine because it's not good for you

4:18

but it's going to be rough that lack of sleep for me is going to be detrimental

4:24

when I have a kid or when you both it's like hey Abigail um you just

4:32

got to move in this is this is why I can't live on the property cuz I would get I would get a 2

4:38

a phone call be like she won't stop crying no I fully think for my sanity

4:44

and so that I can keep being functional um and I understand this is definitely like a privileged thing but I want to

4:51

get a Night Nurse a couple times yeah if I was in a position to do it I would do

4:57

it a night nurse you can get someone to come out and like help you which I I would like I mean this is TMI I would

5:03

like to breastfeed and stuff but like even when you're breastfeeding um if you plan on like pumping and then like doing

5:09

bottles or whatever they still help you throughout the night so you can still get a little more sleep but I don't know

5:16

I say that but then I also know that I how protective I am of like animals and

5:21

I can't imagine how protective I'll be of my child of like a stranger or like a whatever being in my house so I don't

5:27

know I might say that and then refuse but well speaking of

5:34

children uh we put up a last minute little question poll thing and people

5:40

want to know are you pregnant no when will you be pregnant I feel like this is

5:46

that sound do you wear wigs like you know that one from Lord anyway okay I don't but never mind I don't either

5:53

reference you get it no okay just kidding well got cut that

6:00

out there's no way he's cutting it out um so no I'm not pregnant um not trying

6:07

to get pregnant at the moment so like here's the thing and I feel like I kind of want to talk about it one time just so that there's like a reference for

6:14

people because people are nosy people want to know um so I do have PCOS I've

6:20

known since I was like 22 but I've had issues with it for longer than that um I

6:26

TMI if you're a dude you might not want to watch this I have like super regular SI I'll go months without a period super

6:32

bad horrible periods when I do have them um really is like lots of issues with

6:38

weight what excuse me I don't know what that is my period PC yes polycystic

6:44

ovarian syndrome now I know so I've got like cysts on my ovaries okay yeah and

6:51

my my grandma Michael had it we suspect my mom probably has it like I think it's

6:56

probably some like both my grandma and my mom like all had issues getting pregnant it's a lot more common now than

7:03

yeah I think it's just a lot of people have it yeah you know um so I've always had like weight issues with it there's

7:09

lots of different side effects from it that people have um and so for me it's

7:15

it's definitely been an issue for me since I was probably you know 22 23 um

7:20

it really didn't affect me as heavily before then and so that sometimes does cause

7:28

infertility so it's a big Fe fear of mine I don't have any like confirmation that I'm infertile or will have issues

7:37

because we tried for like a few months at the beginning of the year and then

7:43

we're like okay actually I think God did us a favor and we didn't get pregnant for a reason and we're just going to

7:48

quit trying for a little bit cuz we just got real busy and I was like why did we start trying at the most stressful part

7:55

of my year when I'm not sleeping in it's fing season and I'm stressed out the yinyang you know so we just decided

8:02

to hold off a little bit longer the first little bit was just cuz we had you

8:08

know just gotten married and we didn't really want to have a baby at first um

8:13

but I'm 28 and so I mean probably in the next year or

8:18

two we'll get serious about it and if we have issues we'll have to do something about it but yeah no babies I don't have

8:24

babies I'm not pregnant like I literally checked I I was very suspicious

8:30

this last weekend with me being like so nauseous and I was like but I'm not I

8:35

think that was just a little stupid 24-hour bug yeah um I'm glad I didn't get it me too you never get sick when I

8:42

get sick and that's shocking but also we don't really touch either we never touch we have hugged at the Congress kind

8:51

of for that picture oh yeah what will what what do you think

8:56

will bring a hug between us I don't know we both cried in front of

9:02

each other and haven't hugged so I don't I did rub your back while you were crying at the toilet you did you did I

9:10

gave you a little Pat like when we were at the vet the first day was seven and you were crying I did did a little

9:16

backat but I didn't I didn't go any further than that I think it won't be like a sad time I

9:23

think it'll be like like a happy hug I don't think it'll be like a oh you're sad need to

9:29

comfort you hug yeah cuz we've been we we've done that yeah like me and Rebecca

9:35

the I'm not joking the only time we've hugged is like when her dad passed or like when my nana passed like that's the

9:42

only we don't hug or she hugged me at my wedding yeah she did do that I do remember at the the Halloween party the

9:49

other night uh Danny I saw Danny hug you a few times and I just kept being like I

9:55

hug her that's a weird thing it's it's certain people yeah me and Danny hug every time I see each we see each other

10:03

there's people that I hug every time I see them it's weird me and Nate haven't hugged no

10:09

they've only and they've barely had a photo together we haven't had a photo together well or is it a group photo I

10:15

took a photo of y'all walking from behind but it wasn't like a stage photo so I guess it doesn't count but doesn't

10:21

count we we're we're kind of just keeping it going we're like how long can we just not have a photo together but

10:27

that's so you you you need a picture why do you not want a picture together you start sneakily taking them it's just

10:33

been so long why quit now we didn't intend to start a streak me and Matt had

10:39

a photo together pretty quickly because we were hunting together and so like we just randomly got one because we both

10:45

got deer but and then we both got turkeys why would you not want one

10:50

together though I'm not opposed to it okay I thought it was you that wanted to

10:56

keep that was like we got to keep it going yeah I'm I'm not opposed to us having a

11:02

picture together I'm just more for keeping the streak alive it's not that I don't want to take a picture with you

11:08

I'm we've just gone so long he doesn't want to have a picture with you because he doesn't want to have to post anything on your

11:18

birthday I only had one this past year it was me and it was me and you and code red yeah it was so Random I only had

11:25

that one this year I'll or next year I'll have more but night have none like I have so so she was having to

11:34

go through my pictures on my computer to send some stuff over email and she was

11:40

like why do you have so many photos of me that I didn't know existed they're not Creeper photos like I'm like oh you

11:46

look cute with moo and I'll just like be like Mom and take her a picture and I

11:51

just have so many I just forget to send him to her so I just have so many pictures of Abigail I was just like going through like huh okay and then I

11:59

saw more and I saw more you always are like posing I want these yeah like there

12:06

was some of me in front of the VSS code red Coliseum at Congress when I was like wearing my cute little fit like I need

12:12

that but I'll go through them again and and find some um there was also a lot of Nate On

12:19

bow that I didn't know existed like we knew that one that was edited but right

12:24

right I'm a horse guy yeah he's a horse guy that's just what how they're going to he does a cowboy hat he does have a

12:32

cowboy hat you both have cowboy hats I'm a horse girl Matt needs so I think for Matt's

12:39

birthday I mean do you think he's going to want a cowboy hat I mean we're going to the place to get it I think he would wear it at shows I don't think he would

12:47

ever wear it any other time but do you even think he would wear it at shows cuz like that's the only reason I got mine

12:53

but also like are we going to look like dweebs if my whole crew is non-horse people wearing cowboy hats okay but they

12:58

don't know that yes they do how do they know not everyone there knows that I just told

13:03

them I'm a horse guy I just said I was a horse girl how will they

13:09

know okay are you bringing yours it's possible if if you aren't

13:17

bringing yours and I'm the only one it's super acceptable for you to be the only one but I don't want to be the I'm not

13:24

taking mine but you won't be out of it's it's fine we all suppos supposed

13:33

if we can if we can figure this out with the hat I'm going to have six

13:39

pieces of luggage which means somebody's going to have to be carrying stuff for me he he

13:46

is going he's flying out with us so oh did you get him a flight not yet okay I just learned that but by the way okay

13:53

this brings up another topic I keep seeing in the comments people being like what does Abigail actually do

14:00

what do you do do you want me to explain your job or do you want to explain your job you go ahead are you curious are you

14:06

curious what I'm GNA say go like what do you think I do um so we'll just kind of

14:14

go off of like what happened so I was getting to the point where social media was growing to the point of past me

14:22

handling it all um and there was things falling through the cracks like like things that I needed to be doing

14:28

paperwork things and um just keeping on top of my schedule and so Aubra my brand manager

14:34

was like because that's not her job and she's got other things going on she was like I think it's time that you get a

14:41

personal assistant I think you need help um not even just with all of the administrative administrative stuff but

14:49

you know helping you get content and help you know and traveling and all that good stuff and so a little over a year

14:55

now we hit our year mark in September um she put out an ad for

15:01

herself needing a personal assistant because that was a big problem was I was

15:08

like I don't know how to even put this out there because if I put a status out on my story saying I need a personal

15:13

assistant I felt like it was going to be overwhelming it was going to be very difficult to weed through people and so

15:20

I didn't want to I really didn't want someone that followed me either I really liked the way it happened where you had

15:25

no clue what my situation was and so she did that we had a few people we

15:31

interviewed interviewed you um I just thought of something funny say

15:37

it like I remember the like little ad for it saying must be comfortable around

15:43

animals and I was like oh my gosh like that's really cool I would love to work around animals

15:48

um but I remember like when I just interviewed with Aubra I definitely talk

15:53

myself up to being like more experienced with animals than I am

16:01

like I was like yeah like I did animal science for one semester

16:08

like but I was like we we like all the time for class we like we go to the horse Science Center and like do stuff

16:15

with them and like we went to the like dairy farm like MTSU has all that stuff and I went there once I went to all of

16:22

those places once but I was like yeah was it like a touring kind of situation

16:27

too yes oh my gosh I feel like this is the first time

16:33

you've told me this I haven't thought about it before because you were I was like oh yeah you probably did this in horse science because I thought you had

16:39

done it for way longer and you just keep me like yeah I just have no

16:45

experience you but like even today we were doing like teeth in the barn you have absolutely taken to it like a duct

16:52

water um so anyway continue you got the job when we first started we were like

16:59

oh it's just part-time like there's no way that I need a full-time help yeah you know and so you started coming for

17:05

like three or four hours a day and you still had another job and then how long did that last probably a

17:12

month yeah and then it was like um I mean if you want to quit your other job you could lit I quit right before we

17:17

went to the Congress because I remember I was supposed to work at my other job and I was like I really want to go on this trip and uh so I like this sounds

17:27

this makes me sounds terrible makes me sound terrible but I remember like I didn't have anyone to cover my shift I

17:33

was just like yeah I can't I can't come to work I'm sorry and I went to Congress and then I quit oh no it worked out

17:42

though yeah um so with that being said

17:48

Your Role has evolved and I think it is continuing to evolve because I've never

17:54

had a personal assistant I've never needed a personal assistant I've never had enough things to do to need that and

17:59

so over the last year or I probably did need one like a year ahead when I

18:04

actually got one but it keep we keep figuring out new roles as we go so these days you handle

18:12

lots of administrative stuff getting all the FES registered getting all of vs C

18:18

Red's paperwork in handling emailing and correspondence um booking travel um like

18:26

any type of set like like all the PO box stuff you handle you help me film at

18:31

least eight videos a day sometimes more before we go on trips you go on trips with me like as a travel companion and

18:38

as helping keep track of things while I'm gone and like my head space is in a different area I mean a huge thing is

18:47

just having an extra set of hands a lot of times so not even behind the camera but like today you were just jumping in

18:54

holding the horse when needed with the vet I mean a lot of the times I'm filming but I just need someone like

19:00

being with me and knowing the animals as well as I do and being able to jump in

19:05

when needed so yes you do administrative stuff yes we travel yes you do like kind

19:11

of basic personal assistant things but you also are just kind of like wherever

19:17

you need to be which you are very

19:24

adaptable like you just kind of like I think my favorite thing thing and like

19:29

one of your best qualities as an employee not as a person is that if

19:34

there's something to be done you don't really wait on me to tell you to do it you just see it and do it like the one

19:40

of the first things and this wasn't even something that you were really hired to do but I remember it was like one of the

19:46

first weeks that you were working there and I was like that is awesome is that I said hey I've got to run over my mom's

19:52

house I'll be back in a second but when I get back we're going to do this well I got hung up at my mom's house and you

19:59

just went ahead and did it and you were like I remember what it was I think I think it was putting the rug down it was

20:04

so hard and you were like sweating when you got back um I was like I I just like

20:10

I need to do this like imagine how cool it would be if like I put this whole rug

20:16

down it's a huge rug and my my living room is so narrow and small and all the

20:22

furniture fits in there so she had to do it underneath all the it was so bad um but anyway lot lot of it is I mean we

20:30

have fun times like there's lots of stuff that's I feel like I feel like there's perks to working here um feel

20:37

like there's perks but you know there's also some not fun stuff like you have no

20:44

life just like I don't have a life during fing season and like you take it on the chin on in C certain try I can't

20:52

even speak I think this year I'm more looking forward to it this year are you I thought that I would be

20:58

like dreading it after last year not because it was hard or like

21:04

it's just a lot I didn't like it but it's it's mostly just that they have them in the middle of the night and it's

21:10

very inconvenient it is for everyone for everyone except themselves even themselves it's inconvenient but like

21:18

that was that's the only thing but I think this year with one all of us being so much more comfortable around each

21:24

other also comfortable that's just you yeah you were the new girl you were the new

21:30

one whatever but um and with the shop though I feel like it'll be fun because

21:36

we can just we'll just like hang out and wait and I'll probably sleep and y'all will probably stay up okay did you hear

21:42

her yesterday say she was like when cuz my shop we like finished out a part of our shop for like this circumstance for

21:49

filming in it for hosting people when they come in from out of town that kind of thing

21:54

and we haven't furnished it yet it's brand new and so yesterday she's like I really need you to get like a pull out

22:00

couch because like I don't if I go to sleep like I still want to be out there like I don't I have

22:07

fomo I'm like so you're telling me we're all going to be staying up hanging out and you want to just be sleeping in the

22:14

middle of all of us yes because if something funny happens

22:19

then I want to like hear and wake up and be like what's going on and I think I'm

22:24

relating more to can we get two two pull out two pull out couch bed

22:30

things yeah no um so yeah so it's like a little hangout area we can I plan on

22:36

like cooking chili and having like a crock pot full of food and usually we

22:42

know within a night or two that it's happening I mean sometimes like Karen but Karen's a mini like I feel like with

22:48

my big horses generally we get like white milk and it's either that day or the next day

22:54

and we can kind of all Hands-On deck it um beans or no beans beans I don't actually eat the

23:01

chili I just make it for y'all so if you want beans you can have it no beans I don't understand just meat

23:11

chili I don't like it I need something else in there is it not chili if it has beans in it well I think originally

23:18

chili was just meat but then people adapted I like it like it with beans

23:26

just nobody ever makes it with no beans anymore because it's better well sometimes you just want the OG the

23:31

original a taste of History okay you can bring your own

23:38

chili since you don't like potluck food we'll do a little chili potluck a

23:43

chili cook off but you only chili C you only eat your own like wow this is the best one um

23:52

yeah I I just I do I do foresee some fun nights of playing the lord of the

23:58

ringsman Monopoly Katon uh we are getting an Xbox I've never played Xbox I'll bring

24:05

twister twister I just feel like that would be really funny my knees ain't got

24:11

twister in them can we can we get two Xboxes can we get a Wii okay do y'all

24:17

see how spoiled these people are well you have one Xbox and one TV and you

24:22

share the screen they cheat that's true you need two TVs back to back

24:28

so you can't see each other's screen two TVs back to

24:35

back wall TV TV Mt Nate yes I'm not

24:41

buying two Xboxes for y'all to just sit there on playing Just G just throwing it

24:48

out there you did say a we though because we play We bowling so play a Wii I would play a Wii I would play Wii all

24:55

but do they even make them anymore you'd have to get one off like Marketplace or something I see people selling them all the time

25:01

but why' they quit I don't know what if we got a VR headset

25:07

please the scary games we could play no yes that would be so fun no think of the

25:15

the videos though it would be hilarious it would be it would be great well that's how they get me they get me to do

25:20

stuff cuz like think of the videos thank is it yeah and I'm like and then we

25:26

could do like a horse riding video are for you or Nate blur this

25:36

out what kind of what what would you want to play in VR I don't know I don't even know what the options

25:43

are I would mind doing like I mean do they do like Call of Duty in VR I don't

25:49

think so there's shooter games that you can play I'd be okay doing that I know I know I can't get shot like you know like

25:56

yeah but I feel like it feels pretty real when you're in there like we were talking about yeah was it us that was

26:01

talking about it how if you put like a wooden plank yes there's a there's a

26:07

game where you get in the elevator it takes you to the top of a building and then you have to walk out on a skinny Plank and you can look down think you're

26:13

going to fall but if you actually put a 2x4 on the ground and walk on the

26:20

two there's no way you think it's not real you're going to be panicked and

26:27

like the shop living room is like it's a really big room I feel like that'd be a great place for oh yeah like a VR

26:33

because there's so like you're not going to run into stuff constantly yeah I feel like we'll we'll for sure all get like

26:39

really good at pingpong Nate already is okay well you're really good too we're working on it we are pingpong is we've

26:47

talked about this a little bit already um it's definitely the I feel like we're going to look back on the year 20124 of

26:52

our Lord and refer to it as the ping pong year maybe 2025 as well the ping

26:59

pong years um for some reason it's really only been the last half of this year I feel like

27:06

because I we there's not a day we don't play it also I have a new serve I want

27:11

to try it on you is it legal I'm going to be honest I'm going to spill some little juice right here I think

27:19

28:44

little undercutting one yeah okay so sorry we're talking about ping pong too

28:50

much now it is the ping pong era insert myself into this convers um Nate what's your favorite

28:58

quality about us oh yeah these are questions also like from Facebook so as

29:05

as a doo or individually individually H my favorite quality would

29:18

be wow I like your Katie your

29:31

grit and perseverance grit and perseverance I think that's my favorite quality about you and I think my

29:38

favorite quality about you is

29:46

your ability to really listen

29:52

Okay do you did you say grit and perseverance because I was vomiting throughout our video session the other

29:59

day uh that's not why I said it but now that you say that a good display good example a good display

30:07

yeah and we finished yeah like nothing happened just walked back in all right

30:13

here we go I'm telling you I'd have been on the ground nauseous today okay your turn my

30:19

favorite quality about Nate is that I don't know what to call this but just

30:25

like I immediately felt like we were friends and was like immediately comfortable cuz the first day that we

30:32

met was at the cattle sale last year and I remember it was I was like really awkward cuz didn't know what to do and

30:40

we went through I don't know why I remember this but I remember like we went through the food line together just chatting

30:48

just yeah felt like we were already friends yeah so yeah and then um thanks

30:58

you just want to want to continue I would

31:03

say it's okay you don't have to be nice to me it's fine it's going to be harder

31:09

not because there are less things less qualities that I like about you but

31:14

because I feel like what I said she likes more about me than you I didn't say

31:21

that she said she didn't say that um

31:31

I there's nothing it's not I'm I'm lit I'm having to like choose cuz there are

31:37

a few things that come to my mind okay well now I want to cry there were things about you too but that's just that was

31:44

just immediate like the first thing I Qui while you think my favorite physical quality about Nate is his

31:50

laugh it brings me joy it's it's a good good it's a contagious laugh it's a it

31:58

can often be rare it takes a lot to pull it out so if it's if it's really there I feel like it happens quite of it happens

32:04

pretty often around me so I well y'all are just really funny and and it's it's

32:09

not just like his normal giggle it's his like

32:15

you no he hears like you can hear it across a stadium like it and then a lot

32:22

of the times because it's so unexpected and like loud it Spurs more laughter in

32:28

a group and it just creates like it's a good time it brings a good vibe for so

32:33

long I tried to squash it and never do it I would because I would lose my voice

32:40

if I had like a funny hour with a group of people the next day I couldn't talk cuz I just screamed for an hour and so I

32:47

would really try hard to not laugh like that and because I have some friends who I laugh like that in public they're

32:54

like no funny but I can't I've tried to not do it I can't not do it we laugh on

33:02

I love a good laugh we laugh on I feel like you're a you're a very like quiet

33:08

laugher but you you do like I enjoy it whenever like I do get like a good laugh

33:13

out of you cuz I'm like I worked hard for that I can't give I can't just like give

33:21

it out all the time like it has to be like you have to earn it you got to earn it um okay

33:28

I I been thinking I think my favorite thing about you I don't know if it would

33:34

really be equality but is just that like since since we've met I feel like you

33:43

have kind of forced me to like not forced me but like kind of

33:50

forced me into being comfortable with you a little bit uhhuh not forcing but you I don't know how to put it like you

33:58

forced me to talk but I like that you do that cuz now I feel like anything that

34:03

happens in my life like you know about mhm like I don't think there's anything really going on that you don't know

34:09

about okay at first though you were sneaky sneaky um at first you would tell

34:17

me things and I would always like there was a little things that I'd be like

34:23

okay put that right there and then a week later he' like well um that wasn't

34:29

actually a party that was just me and that guy that I wasn't supposed to be seeing that I didn't want to tell you about so well you were sneaky

34:37

sneaky I don't I maybe cuz like at the beginning I didn't want can you you're

34:43

distracting me every time every time I start trying to form a thought I look glance this way

34:51

and I've SE Nate going into the camera I was trying to put the pieces together I'm sorry I

34:57

can't speak it's okay you're making me feel self-conscious that's not my that my sentences aren't making sense that's

35:03

not my intent you're just thinking as you were going I was tracking okay I'm still I still can't think of something I

35:09

like about you so just keep going I don't even know what I don't even know what I was talking about now so you were

35:14

talking about that I force you into being comfortable with me but that's I think maybe in the beginning I was I was

35:20

like trying to be like not cool but like not like overbearing like I didn't want

35:26

to just tell you everything about about my life cuz I didn't know if you actually care my problem is that I get

35:31

way too comfortable with people immediately maybe that that's kind of what I'm trying to put into words I

35:37

think I think ours are related let me try to say it this way I think you Ed

35:42

your grit and perseverance to create a comfortable atmosphere where you could be

35:48

yourself oh okay interesting I feel like that's kind of

35:54

I've kind of said the same thing for both of y'all like just making me feel comfortable and

36:00

like yeah coming out of my like showell and stuff just really blossoming as a

36:09

woman so after all this time have you thought of um something no honestly no

36:16

Wick no well kind of the same boat like we're

36:21

together every day there's lots of things that I love about you and I'm trying to think of

36:26

like specific stuff because I don't feel like there's many people that I can hang

36:32

out with as much as I hang out with you and enjoy it still you know like you

36:40

have a way of just being very easy to be around and it's not that you're it's not

36:45

that you're pliable it's not that you just oh you just go along with every it's not that you do that you know like

36:51

cuz I feel like those people that just say yes to everything it's like an illusion that they're to be around but

36:58

really they're just going along with like whatever someone says you don't do that so it's not that you just

37:05

agree you just have this way of just like I feel like you could fit in like you don't think this but you have a way

37:11

of fitting in everywhere and I think in your head you you don't like I don't

37:17

think you think that about yourself but you do who okay let me just say you came

37:22

into this world like a little over a year ago you had never been to a horse show you had never been hunting or

37:30

around Farm people around farm animals around vets doing really like high-tech

37:36

procedures you had never helped birth a horse you had like you've met how many

37:42

people over the course of 12 13 months and like you very much take it and

37:47

stride and you adapt very easily and well I think that since I started here

37:55

like seeing how quickly I can like kind of make friends

38:02

with people like Nate and Matt and then like and obviously Rebecca and her kids

38:08

and sha like it's made me feel a lot more confident I guess in like talking to people and being like okay maybe I am

38:15

likable you are and so I feel like I don't not that I don't try as hard but I

38:22

I don't like hold back as much I guess when I'm talking to people mhm now so

38:30

yeah anyway that's great what a what an improvement to your life to not be not

38:38

like I go out in public and I like talk to people and I I literally like telling

38:43

me that I would just go up to a random person in like a drive-thru and be like I love your hair I would never do

38:50

that I don't know why you do that now yeah that's good I actually went to

38:56

Starbucks this morning and there's this girl in the Drive-Thru that works at this specific location

39:02

that I've met before um she came to a party at my house like last year and we hadn't seen each other and I'm always

39:08

like super self-conscious that people aren't going to remember me and I remember them and um I like pull up to

39:15

the window and like as soon as I like pulled up she was like Hey as soon as I heard your name I thought it was you and

39:22

I was like oh my God I'm going to text you so we can hang out and I was like I would never do that I don't know that's

39:28

F friend yeah that's fun I made a [Laughter]

39:33

friend I I think sometimes it's to my detriment that

39:39

I try to make friends like I I'm so comfortable in such an open book to

39:45

everyone sometimes I think it's a little overbearing which you hear things you probably don't

39:50

want to hear um like I'm thinking back to when I was in college and okay so

39:57

this is terrible so one of my best friends Ashley now I didn't know before

40:04

college and I put on there that I wanted a random roommate because I didn't have anybody that I knew that was going to

40:10

cuz I went to lipsum I'd gone to lipsum in like high school and stuff and so a lot of lipskin people were going to

40:17

college but I didn't want to room with anybody that I knew and so I I applied

40:23

for a random roommate and you have to kind of do like a personality thing MH like like are you clean are you whatever

40:30

so I put on there that I was super organized super clean Super like tidy

40:37

never stay up late never stay up late like all this stuff that's the opposite

40:43

because this is so terrible I was 18 okay don't get mad at me I wanted a roommate that would keep our room

40:51

clean well they got Abigail a job so no this no this was back in college

40:59

yeah no I'm saying she lied on her thing and it worked oh yeah yeah well and so

41:05

that first night and Abigail or so sorry Ashley is like super type A every like

41:11

everything is very clean organized everything and very good grade she was in nursing

41:17

school and I like did not know what I was doing and that first night I remember I'm not going to say what I

41:23

said I said something so like what you say your best friend of 20 years about

41:29

yourself like like just so open about everything and she was like okay all right I guess that's just

41:36

how it is off camera what was it I was like good Lord okay you cannot keep this

41:43

in there okay like is it something about pooping it's about pooping I knew it was going to be about pooping what an ice

41:49

breaker though what an icebreaker it was like the first night that we start using

41:56

that and and and so after that like we were best friends and um we we did

42:01

everything together and so I just it works or it doesn't I will say I think people either like it or

42:07

they don't about that um which is fine yeah I don't know how I would respond to

42:15

that if someone I didn't know said that I'd probably be like

42:20

well that's I'm glad they're that comfortable with me already

42:27

I don't know I I wonder what a therapist would say about me doing that cuz that wasn't how I was always I feel like I I put on that

42:34

Persona going into college like I don't I think I was always a little more self-conscious and stuff in middle

42:40

school and high school I was not that girl I was like very quiet not at home but like in school

42:47

like around other kids so I'm wondering what a therapist would say that like what coping mechanism that is like maybe

42:53

I give them a reason not to like me and if they choose to like me still just like I'm going to say the most

42:58

outlandish thing right now and if they don't I'm going to see how they respond to it and then I'll know if they're my

43:06

friend or not you know right maybe that's maybe that's what it is but yeah that's just I don't I don't remember

43:13

exactly what our first like conversations were you either Nate but I

43:18

feel like you can attest I don't really there's not like a warmup

43:24

period no one of I mean our first day we talked about pooping did yeah because

43:31

the we went to get the goat and the Goat pooped on me in the car okay well that's

43:38

a goat poop not a human poop why but we were still talking about pooping that's not the same you said the

43:43

first day you came was not going to get the goat it was remember we did the video with Matt and it was like what the

43:50

YouTube channel is going to be and so we were just we were just going around the

43:56

farm to different places is taking pictures and um I do remember that we did like Drone

44:02

footage and yeah you were wearing a green shirt I was I was Bella was on a

44:10

leash yeah I do remember yep and there was no

44:16

poop talk no no poop talk not that day you were quiet that first day yeah yeah

44:22

for sure yeah I'm not going to say what our conversation

44:27

were on the way to Congress last year but it was

44:34

definitely defin I don't know it it kind of let me know that you were more comfortable with me than I

44:41

thought which isn't a bad thing like I was glad but well I think cuz that was

44:47

like a 7h hour drive together and so I remember talking about ex-boyfriends I got a complete like love life history

44:55

down with some extra exas added

45:02

in and you're just sitting there like okay like I don't know what to say

45:08

back to this that's of like the same caliber like I want to match the energy

45:13

but I don't have anything well anyway that's

45:21

funny last question what is everyone's favorite Thanksgiving dish

45:28

Honey Baked Ham but not not just the ham this is why

45:36

I get two so I have my own whenever I buy my own honey bake T um I like to

45:42

stand there like a caveman and take off the pieces and dip it in the

45:48

juice it's so good sounds good it's so good not have to try it's so good I'll

45:55

get us one I'll get us a bowling season Honey Baked Ham nice to eat off of do we all get our [Laughter]

46:03

own those things are like $100 no are you serious a 12 pounder each those

46:09

things are so expensive you don't even understand I thought maybe $4.99

46:16

at oh okay well if we're but you're talking about a giant we're talking about the Honey Baked hamco Honey Baked

46:23

hamco from HoneyBaked hamco like the 12 lb on the bone

46:30

ham I've never even heard of this okay so what's your favorite Thanksgiving dish it would have to in

46:38

fact be a sweet potato casserole with the marshmallows little chart on top

46:44

just give me a scoop I'll make you one sounds disgusting you don't like sweet potatoes I don't either but I'll make

46:50

you one sweet potato fries no no absolutely not but I'll make you one I'll eat it I'm a Sweet Potato Hater

46:57

why I don't like it that's why have you tried it it's nasty I don't

47:03

like the I don't I don't like how the texture is like a potato because it is a

47:08

potato but it just it doesn't seem like it should be something that came out of

47:14

the ground like a veget I don't I don't know it doesn't seem like a vegetable to

47:20

me and I just don't like it especially with the marshmallows and everything

47:27

more for me put marshmallows on a potato yes just don't sound right yes all right

47:34

what's yours um big roll person it's not really a dish but I love just

47:40

Thanksgiving it like I feel like that's just I don't eat rolls that often I got rolls at my house like every day I like

47:47

mac and cheese but like a good one when you set it on the little little table runner like some ham and a roll

47:55

Thanksgiving rolls that's that's my favorite yeah none of us said turkey but

48:00

I think turkeyy is just there to like it's an obligation I like turkey but ham

48:05

is ham is superior I think I think the turkeys they're out of obligation

48:10

honestly but I think people are tired of turkey but they're just like got to do I

48:16

think I like it as lunch meat more yeah you do I do get tur sometimes

48:21

for the sandwiches yeah I like it like thin instead of like big chunks it just it is so easy to have a dry turkey so

48:29

easy so easy to have a dry turkey anyway we're getting off the rails again this

48:34

was almost an hour long anyway um I feel like these segments keep turning into us

48:39

just yapping um Without Really any direction so we would love some some topics you

48:46

can get deep with it if you want to not even just a topic like an activity

48:51

activities or something like that I don't know or like we react to something

48:56

activ to do together while we chat about a certain topic um I've already put on

49:01

there that we are going to have guests that's kind of be that's more likely going to start around the new year um we

49:06

might have one or two people come on before then that are like local but um as far as inviting people out that's

49:12

probably going to start in the new year so anyway hope y'all enjoyed the yappen

49:18

I don't think there was much um of substance today but let me know what you

49:23

think if you have any topics for future any activi ities and we'll see you in the next one
