00:01:26 [Mitchell]
So I’m trying to do the clips and the last little blipper clipper I send out a reel what do we what do people call those?
00:01:32 [Mitchell]
The little Teaser?

00:01:34 [Mitchell]
A teaser.
00:01:34 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:01:35 [Mitchell]
It’s a little long.
00:01:35 [Mitchell]
I it was sixty seconds, but I felt it was a little long.

00:01:39 [Scarlet]
Thirty seconds?

00:01:40 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:01:40 [Mitchell]
And I know because I saw some people work watching it, and I was like, oh, I could see how, like, there’s a point when they kinda

00:01:46 [Scarlet]
Mhmm.

00:01:47 [Mitchell]
Tune out or I don’t know.
00:01:48 [Mitchell]
It doesn’t it doesn’t really matter.
00:01:49 [Mitchell]
It’s this is what I’m saying.
00:01:51 [Mitchell]
Maybe I should put

00:01:52 [Scarlet]
this on the floor.

00:01:53 [Mitchell]
Nobody cares what I’m saying.
00:01:55 [Mitchell]
It’s fun.
00:01:55 [Mitchell]
It’s a fun experiment in trying to do the social media and trying to do this and do the video.

00:02:01 [Scarlet]
Is that fun?
00:02:02 [Scarlet]
I don’t

00:02:02 [Mitchell]
it is for me.
00:02:04 [Mitchell]
Okay.
00:02:04 [Mitchell]
It’s fun when I’m actually doing it.
00:02:06 [Mitchell]
Setting up today up until this moment, not fun, because people oh, if you’re if you go if you wanna see what we look like, go to YouTube and watch this.
00:02:15 [Mitchell]
Although the last one might be delayed.

00:02:17 [Mitchell]
Episode 11 YouTube is the first time we did it, and it’s not quite it’s it’s uploading even as we’re speaking because it’s a big file.
00:02:23 [Mitchell]
So you could see what we look like.
00:02:25 [Mitchell]
But what I’m saying, what am I actually getting at is I wanna play around with how this format gets recorded.
00:02:31 [Mitchell]
However, that part adds a new layer.
00:02:34 [Mitchell]
Oh, what I wanted to say was this.

00:02:35 [Mitchell]
For me to get ready today, like, I had to, like, clean this table off, and then I have to carry it in here.
00:02:40 [Mitchell]
And I have to, like, set up this whole studio space.
00:02:42 [Mitchell]
And then this episode I’m sorry.
00:02:44 [Mitchell]
People who are listening might find this part.
00:02:46 [Mitchell]
I was gonna do, like, you know, horizontal filming instead of vertical.

00:02:50 [Mitchell]
We’re doing the vertical right now.
00:02:51 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:02:51 [Mitchell]
I was gonna do horizontal, but then I realized with horizontal, you don’t get as much the body is harder to frame that up.
00:02:59 [Mitchell]
Unless I’m further back with these cameras, that’s We’ll get there.
00:03:02 [Mitchell]
We’re just going layer by layer.

00:03:04 [Mitchell]
I mean, I enjoy I enjoy the process.
00:03:06 [Mitchell]
It’s fun to me.
00:03:07 [Mitchell]
So, woah, episode 12.
00:03:09 [Mitchell]
We’re trying to get a little more organized.
00:03:11 [Mitchell]
We’re on the socials for our fortnightly podcast.

00:03:16 [Mitchell]
Yeah, we’re still doing it for those of you who always ask me, oh, that podcast thing, are you still doing it?
00:03:21 [Mitchell]
Yes.
00:03:22 [Mitchell]
We are still doing it.
00:03:24 [Mitchell]
Okay.
00:03:25 [Mitchell]
So what?

00:03:28 [Mitchell]
I know.
00:03:29 [Mitchell]
Do you pick a shirt now specifically when you know?
00:03:32 [Mitchell]
Because I don’t know.
00:03:33 [Mitchell]
I see that tattoos are trashy.
00:03:36 [Mitchell]
Yeah.

00:03:36 [Mitchell]
You have a did you get a like, there’s one that says, witched?
00:03:40 [Mitchell]
Witch.
00:03:40 [Mitchell]
Witch.
00:03:41 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:03:41 [Mitchell]
And then there’s did you get these all at the same time?

00:03:44 [Mitchell]
The same company?
00:03:45 [Mitchell]
What Yeah.
00:03:46 [Mitchell]
What’s going on there?

00:03:46 [Scarlet]
Mhmm.
00:03:48 [Scarlet]
I’m TikTok influenced.
00:03:50 [Scarlet]
Oh.
00:03:51 [Scarlet]
And

00:03:51 [Mitchell]
Pan and Influence.
00:03:52 [Mitchell]
These are

00:03:52 [Scarlet]
just really good t shirts.

00:03:54 [Mitchell]
I have is it is I can’t quite I’m trying to No.
00:03:58 [Mitchell]
Okay.
00:03:59 [Mitchell]
Go ahead.
00:04:01 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:04:02 [Mitchell]
I guess so.

00:04:03 [Mitchell]
It’s not as buttery smooth.
00:04:05 [Mitchell]
Okay.
00:04:06 [Mitchell]
I this was not on the docket, but it’s it’s decent.
00:04:10 [Mitchell]
Do you like it?
00:04:10 [Mitchell]
It’s not it’s buttery smooth.

00:04:12 [Mitchell]
I washed it.
00:04:12 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:04:12 [Mitchell]
It’s the long sleeve Taylor Swift one.
00:04:15 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:04:16 [Mitchell]
That one’s buttery.

00:04:17 [Mitchell]
I like a buttery shirt.
00:04:18 [Mitchell]
That one’s not bad.
00:04:19 [Mitchell]
That is not a gildan as I call it.

00:04:21 [Scarlet]
I know.
00:04:21 [Scarlet]
It’s not.
00:04:21 [Scarlet]
It’s the comfort colors.

00:04:22 [Mitchell]
Because you know I hate gildan.
00:04:24 [Mitchell]
General the gildan generally is that crusty kind of t shirt.

00:04:27 [Scarlet]
Yeah.

00:04:28 [Mitchell]
They’re like and you can wash them, and they never really, like

00:04:31 [Scarlet]
Soften.

00:04:32 [Mitchell]
It’s like the Hanes beefy tee sometimes.

00:04:34 [Scarlet]
My my dad has some gildans.
00:04:36 [Scarlet]
They’re he has the crusty kind, but then he has the more it’s the v neck one that’s, like, softer.

00:04:43 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:04:43 [Mitchell]
I’m not saying all gildan, but I’m saying when I say gildan, I’m talking about the crusty Yeah.

00:04:48 [Scarlet]
We are clearly not sponsored by gildan.

00:04:51 [Mitchell]
So Nor would

00:04:52 [Scarlet]
do we want to do

00:04:53 [Mitchell]
Yeah.

00:04:53 [Scarlet]
Unless if you want to.

00:04:54 [Mitchell]
Okay.
00:04:54 [Mitchell]
Gildan, we’re

00:04:55 [Scarlet]
We’re probably not your best marketers.

00:04:57 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:04:57 [Mitchell]
But we could change the tune.
00:04:59 [Mitchell]
We could, like if you maybe Gildan makes like a Maybe you make some wipes.

00:05:03 [Scarlet]
Yeah.
00:05:03 [Scarlet]
And everybody just goes for the cheapo, you know

00:05:06 [Mitchell]
If I had to grab her, I’d grab a bag that I have over that has t shirts in it.
00:05:09 [Mitchell]
No.
00:05:09 [Mitchell]
They were coming from Michaels.
00:05:11 [Mitchell]
I don’t know what kind they are.
00:05:12 [Mitchell]
Probably Hanes.

00:05:13 [Scarlet]
Can

00:05:14 [Mitchell]
you reach that bag that’s yeah.
00:05:18 [Mitchell]
Not part of this show.
00:05:20 [Mitchell]
Wow.
00:05:21 [Mitchell]
But just and they’re the same.
00:05:22 [Mitchell]
These were for a t shirt project that I was gonna do with with Gildan.

00:05:26 [Mitchell]
But how does it feel?
00:05:28 [Mitchell]
But how does it

00:05:29 [Scarlet]
Like a Gildan.

00:05:30 [Mitchell]
Nuh-uh.
00:05:31 [Mitchell]
Let me see.
00:05:32 [Mitchell]
And woah.
00:05:33 [Mitchell]
Oh.
00:05:34 [Mitchell]
Wow.

00:05:34 [Mitchell]
Almost party fell that.

00:05:36 [Scarlet]
Listen, put that on your desk.

00:05:38 [Mitchell]
It’s practically empty.
00:05:40 [Mitchell]
Okay.
00:05:40 [Mitchell]
This is off the rails.
00:05:42 [Mitchell]
This but this is not terribly it’s not a typical crusty gildan.

00:05:46 [Scarlet]
Why do you have these?

00:05:47 [Mitchell]
The danger we’re him he was gonna do a, a t shirt with his buddy, Jude.
00:05:54 [Mitchell]
This is like three years ago.
00:05:56 [Mitchell]
It was one of my classic projects that I was like, hey, I’ll do this with you.
00:05:59 [Mitchell]
And yeah.
00:06:01 [Mitchell]
So, and that’s like Mhmm.

00:06:02 [Mitchell]
That’s t shirt iron on material for the cutter.
00:06:05 [Mitchell]
Okay.
00:06:05 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:06:05 [Mitchell]
So anyways, Gildan.
00:06:08 [Mitchell]
I thought they seem a little butterier butterier than okay.

00:06:11 [Mitchell]
Never mind.
00:06:12 [Mitchell]
Now I’m I’m walking back my Gildan.
00:06:14 [Mitchell]
If you have a t shirt preference Alright.
00:06:16 [Mitchell]
Well, so but those buttery soft ones, I love those.
00:06:20 [Mitchell]
And that’s always kinda hard to find, but, like, when you find one, you’re like, yeah.

00:06:24 [Mitchell]
And some shirts become that way with a little bit of washing, but some are when you get the buttery soft one straight out Yeah.
00:06:31 [Mitchell]
That’s like yeah.
00:06:32 [Mitchell]
It’s like a

00:06:33 [Scarlet]
good pair of jeans.

00:06:34 [Mitchell]
Like a

00:06:35 [Scarlet]
I’m gonna cough.

00:06:36 [Mitchell]
Oh, and I’m wearing one of these lucky Venice something, I don’t know.
00:06:41 [Mitchell]
It’s relatively buttery, a little thinner though, and I don’t know if that adds to that buttery softness.
00:06:46 [Mitchell]
But I do not like a crusty t shirt.
00:06:49 [Mitchell]
Okay.
00:06:49 [Mitchell]
That was not part of the plan today.

00:06:51 [Mitchell]
But however, send your feedback in about t shirts too.
00:06:54 [Mitchell]
Feedback at scarletmitchell.com.

00:06:56 [Scarlet]
Yeah.
00:06:56 [Scarlet]
Because maybe we wanna get t shirts made, and we want Yeah.
00:06:59 [Scarlet]
We want, like, a quality brand.
00:07:01 [Scarlet]
So far, this is Comfort Colors.
00:07:03 [Scarlet]
You can get it embroidered, which I like so much more.

00:07:07 [Scarlet]
And I just get, like, their standard.
00:07:08 [Scarlet]
Yes.

00:07:09 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:07:09 [Mitchell]
I have No.
00:07:10 [Mitchell]
I’m yeah.
00:07:11 [Mitchell]
I was looking because, the people were calling me to pay them for medical bills just now, and then I thought, I didn’t put my do not disturb on all the phones that are recording this.
00:07:20 [Mitchell]
So, hopefully, they’re still recording.

00:07:21 [Scarlet]
It is.
00:07:22 [Scarlet]
Yeah.
00:07:22 [Scarlet]
This one is, anyway.

00:07:23 [Mitchell]
I think I have a camera set up to look at the cameras.
00:07:25 [Mitchell]
I was gonna have a sideways camera too, a two shot.
00:07:28 [Mitchell]
Oh.
00:07:29 [Mitchell]
But that would take another that would be have to be an iPad.
00:07:31 [Mitchell]
That’s what’s Is

00:07:31 [Scarlet]
there a way to make this light softer?

00:07:34 [Mitchell]
It is pretty soft.
00:07:35 [Mitchell]
Well It’s

00:07:36 [Scarlet]
so white.

00:07:37 [Mitchell]
Well, I set it for daylight to match the outdoors.
00:07:40 [Mitchell]
Oh, okay.
00:07:41 [Mitchell]
Because otherwise, I can make it a different color.
00:07:43 [Mitchell]
It’ll go, but I wanted oh, I forgot to turn those lights off.
00:07:47 [Mitchell]
Whatever.

00:07:48 [Mitchell]
Okay.
00:07:48 [Mitchell]
It’s getting We’re gonna

00:07:49 [Scarlet]
have to slim this down.

00:07:50 [Mitchell]
It’s getting real visual.
00:07:51 [Mitchell]
I’m sorry, everybody.
00:07:53 [Mitchell]
This is the problem with the studio.
00:07:54 [Mitchell]
So did you even look at my notes?
00:07:57 [Mitchell]
I did.

00:07:57 [Mitchell]
Ideas.
00:07:57 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:07:58 [Mitchell]
What let’s just start off with yesterday was our son’s birthday.

00:08:05 [Scarlet]
Yeah?
00:08:05 [Scarlet]
It was.

00:08:06 [Mitchell]
And he turned four.
00:08:07 [Mitchell]
Max is now four.
00:08:08 [Mitchell]
So birthdays, that was one of the things.
00:08:11 [Mitchell]
Because you were kinda like we were talking about this.
00:08:13 [Mitchell]
Right?

00:08:14 [Mitchell]
Growing up, so there’s the the birthdays, like the birthday moms, whatever you wanna call it, that do the full blown everything.
00:08:22 [Mitchell]
Like, it’s just a major party for kids, everything’s going on, lots of kids are invited, they go full steam ahead, there’s like that kind of birthday.
00:08:31 [Mitchell]
Then there’s the, I guess, the not birthday moms.

00:08:35 [Scarlet]
I guess that would be me.

00:08:36 [Mitchell]
And then there’s kinda like the idea of like well, so here’s the question.
00:08:41 [Mitchell]
I mean, multiple questions around this for me.
00:08:43 [Mitchell]
One, do you your mom seems like she would have been a birthday mom, but I don’t know this.

00:08:49 [Scarlet]
She’s a birthday mom.

00:08:50 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:08:50 [Mitchell]
Because I feel like for graduation, she was all full steam for like for us for some stuff.
00:08:56 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:08:56 [Mitchell]
So she seemed like a birthday mom.
00:08:58 [Mitchell]
Does that mean she did, like, thematic ones?

00:09:01 [Mitchell]
And well, then, here’s the question.
00:09:03 [Mitchell]
Do you remember a specific birthday or more than one?

00:09:06 [Scarlet]
I remember I think I actually remember my third or fourth

00:09:11 [Mitchell]
birthday.
00:09:11 [Mitchell]
Okay.

00:09:12 [Scarlet]
It was it was big bird themed, and I think I either there was, like, a person dressed up as big bird there.
00:09:22 [Scarlet]
I guess it was Sesame Street theme, but mainly big bird.

00:09:25 [Mitchell]
Okay.

00:09:26 [Scarlet]
The more I say it, the weirder it sounds.

00:09:27 [Mitchell]
Were you into Big Bird?

00:09:29 [Scarlet]
I guess.

00:09:30 [Mitchell]
Okay.

00:09:31 [Scarlet]
So and and she handmade all the Big Bird invitations, and they were just of his head.
00:09:36 [Scarlet]
Okay.
00:09:37 [Scarlet]
She drew them or she traced them, whatever, colored them, and then filled them all out on the back individually, mailed them out.
00:09:43 [Scarlet]
My whole extended family was there.
00:09:45 [Scarlet]
It was at a church fellowship hall.

00:09:48 [Scarlet]
It was I think it was kinda like a potluck style, and then it was cake and presents.
00:09:53 [Scarlet]
And I don’t remember much beyond that.
00:09:56 [Scarlet]
I think she even still has one of the invitations somewhere.
00:10:00 [Scarlet]
And I found it later on, and she was like, oh, I I handmade hundreds of these for whatever.

00:10:05 [Mitchell]
Oh, hundreds now.

00:10:06 [Scarlet]
I don’t know if it was

00:10:07 [Mitchell]
something like

00:10:07 [Scarlet]
I don’t know.
00:10:08 [Scarlet]
You know?

00:10:08 [Mitchell]
Well, your mother and bless her soul.

00:10:11 [Scarlet]
Yeah.
00:10:11 [Scarlet]
She, you know, she went all out for my high school graduation.
00:10:15 [Scarlet]
And, every year, there was some she had something planned.
00:10:20 [Scarlet]
And, no, they eventually, the themes went away, and it was just more about, like, we’re having a party at a skate at the skating rink.
00:10:27 [Scarlet]
We’re having a party at the putt putt course.

00:10:31 [Mitchell]
Right.

00:10:31 [Scarlet]
It was always something.
00:10:33 [Scarlet]
Or my tenth birthday, it was at the Mexican restaurant, and that was the first time I got to wear a sombrero, which was so exciting and gets you know, you know, they sing to me.
00:10:45 [Scarlet]
And I remember, like, I my the first love of my life, Tyler Stone, had just broken up with me.
00:10:51 [Scarlet]
Ouch.
00:10:52 [Scarlet]
And I was, like, devastated, and his dad still came to it, which looking back is kinda weird.

00:11:00 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:11:00 [Mitchell]
It happened.

00:11:01 [Scarlet]
Rip, I think he died because

00:11:02 [Mitchell]
His dad or

00:11:03 [Scarlet]
His dad.
00:11:04 [Scarlet]
I went down this whole rabbit hole the other day because I was, like, thought of him for some reason, and I’m like, why am I thinking of him?
00:11:10 [Scarlet]
And then I was like then I saw that his dad had died and his brother had died, and I was I don’t know.
00:11:15 [Scarlet]
Anyway, so

00:11:16 [Mitchell]
Okay.
00:11:17 [Mitchell]
Wow.
00:11:18 [Mitchell]
So

00:11:19 [Scarlet]
I I don’t know.
00:11:20 [Scarlet]
But, yeah, my mom was a birthday holiday mom.
00:11:25 [Scarlet]
And I guess I’m also influenced by these moms you see on social media where they’re staying up late at night and setting up this elaborate balloon display for their kids with all these presents and it’s all special.
00:11:40 [Scarlet]
And, you know, they’re like, I’m so grateful to be able to do this.
00:11:43 [Scarlet]
And I’m like, I just worked thirteen hours to keep somebody alive, which literally is what I did on Wednesday.

00:11:52 [Scarlet]
I’m not actually exaggerating about that.
00:11:54 [Scarlet]
And then I came home and I’m like, I I don’t even wanna blow one single balloon.
00:12:00 [Scarlet]
And maybe that’s selfish, but I was so tired.
00:12:04 [Scarlet]
And you didn’t And I didn’t because I wake up the next morning at 05:45, and you’ve, like, done all of it, which was so sweet.

00:12:13 [Mitchell]
Well, I know it was so special.

00:12:14 [Scarlet]
Presents and you know?
00:12:16 [Scarlet]
So I had my little version of what these influencer moms do.

00:12:21 [Mitchell]
Right.

00:12:22 [Scarlet]
And he, you know, and I we’d I don’t feel like the presents were extravagant.

00:12:27 [Mitchell]
I like how he what he said about Santa because

00:12:30 [Scarlet]
Oh, yeah.

00:12:32 [Mitchell]
I don’t even It was just like, oh, or this from this one’s from Santa or not from Santa.
00:12:37 [Mitchell]
I don’t know.
00:12:37 [Mitchell]
It was just funny.

00:12:38 [Scarlet]
I thought it was so cute.
00:12:39 [Scarlet]
And you were like, these are these are not from and I’m like, just let him believe it.
00:12:43 [Scarlet]
It’s so sweet that he was like, oh, and oh, so Santa brought my birthday gifts.

00:12:49 [Mitchell]
Well, it’s it’s because you had done it like, oh, he’s gotta wake up and come down and see this big display of stuff.
00:12:54 [Mitchell]
And I was like, what are we doing?
00:12:56 [Mitchell]
This is not Christmas.
00:12:57 [Mitchell]
But I went along with it because I was like, hey.
00:12:59 [Mitchell]
You know what?

00:13:00 [Mitchell]
That’s great.
00:13:01 [Mitchell]
I I I don’t so, like, I don’t remember I’m not my mother was

00:13:08 [Scarlet]
Is she a birthday mom?

00:13:09 [Mitchell]
I don’t think so.

00:13:10 [Scarlet]
No.
00:13:10 [Scarlet]
But They definitely don’t seem like it.

00:13:12 [Mitchell]
She did.
00:13:13 [Mitchell]
We had some birthdays, but it wasn’t like every year, you know, turn it to 11 kind of a thing.
00:13:19 [Mitchell]
Mhmm.
00:13:19 [Mitchell]
Like, so I don’t actually in a weird way, I don’t remember I don’t remember birthdays, like a lot of them.

00:13:25 [Scarlet]
Are they holiday people?

00:13:27 [Mitchell]
I mean, yeah, we had good holidays.
00:13:29 [Mitchell]
I mean, they did.
00:13:30 [Mitchell]
My mother had a lot of she likes decorations.
00:13:33 [Mitchell]
She might have a different story.
00:13:34 [Mitchell]
Maybe she would say it differently, but, like, I don’t remember big

00:13:39 [Scarlet]
Oh, bless your mom.
00:13:40 [Scarlet]
She really does so much for each holiday.
00:13:44 [Scarlet]
She probably has a box for each holiday because, you know, she changes her little magnet board with tiles and then she has a little fourth of July decorations.

00:13:53 [Mitchell]
She hangs next to the thing out

00:13:54 [Scarlet]
front, the wreath and

00:13:55 [Mitchell]
The doormat.
00:13:56 [Mitchell]
Probably changes.
00:13:57 [Mitchell]
I

00:13:58 [Scarlet]
So she’s can barely get ready for Christmas.
00:14:02 [Scarlet]
Yeah.
00:14:02 [Scarlet]
And I get kinda reedy about it.

00:14:05 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:14:05 [Mitchell]
I’m

00:14:05 [Scarlet]
like, we’re doing this again.
00:14:07 [Scarlet]
Yeah.
00:14:07 [Scarlet]
Again?

00:14:08 [Mitchell]
It feels like it’s like it sneaks up on you every year.
00:14:11 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:14:11 [Mitchell]
Even though it’s the same time.
00:14:13 [Mitchell]
So, you know, I know that you know, I had good birthdays.
00:14:16 [Mitchell]
I just don’t I’m literally can’t even think of one like, I remember some birthday presents, like, when I got my bike, my first BMX, my own first bike.

00:14:26 [Mitchell]
Oh, yeah.
00:14:26 [Mitchell]
I remember that because it was set up already in the living room when I woke up.
00:14:31 [Mitchell]
It was like, oh, yeah.
00:14:31 [Mitchell]
You know what I mean?
00:14:32 [Mitchell]
I rode it before school and then Yeah.

00:14:37 [Mitchell]
Maybe a few other things, but I don’t remember like, you know, thematic things.
00:14:42 [Mitchell]
Now here’s here’s the truth, though.
00:14:44 [Mitchell]
I remember going to other kids’ parties.
00:14:45 [Mitchell]
I remember, like, this one kid, Jeremy, in doesn’t matter, but in Warrensburg, Missouri, his dad owned one of the two skating rinks in town.
00:14:53 [Mitchell]
We were a two skating rink town.

00:14:55 [Mitchell]
So his dad I mean, roller skating.
00:14:57 [Mitchell]
His dad owned one.
00:14:58 [Mitchell]
And

00:14:58 [Scarlet]
I went skating.
00:14:59 [Scarlet]
Mhmm.

00:14:59 [Mitchell]
Well, I didn’t want anything ice skating.

00:15:00 [Scarlet]
We had one too in Mount Airy.

00:15:03 [Mitchell]
So his dad owned one.
00:15:04 [Mitchell]
So he almost always had a skating party, which was always kind of, oh, it’s exciting.
00:15:08 [Mitchell]
Although looking back, that particular skating rink was kind of funny because it was like it had like a thing down the middle, like a rail and like I mean, so it was like had it was pretty small.
00:15:20 [Mitchell]
And like you would go down I mean, it was a rectangle, obviously.
00:15:23 [Mitchell]
I’m not trying to but it was small.

00:15:26 [Mitchell]
And it had, like I remember, yeah, it had a it had a middle divider.
00:15:30 [Mitchell]
But, like, you mean you could see through.
00:15:31 [Mitchell]
It wasn’t a wall, but if I recall, it was still like there was like a little like an island like you’d see in a in a road, like a little carpeted I don’t know.

00:15:39 [Scarlet]
Were you a rollerblader or a skater?

00:15:42 [Mitchell]
Well, I grew up pre rollerblade.
00:15:44 [Mitchell]
Oh, okay.
00:15:45 [Mitchell]
So when they came onto the scene, I was a rollerblader.
00:15:48 [Mitchell]
But at this point in time, I was a teenager.
00:15:51 [Mitchell]
So, but at the roller rink, we all just why?

00:15:54 [Mitchell]
What were you?

00:15:56 [Scarlet]
Oh, I could never do the four wheels.

00:15:59 [Mitchell]
The four

00:15:59 [Scarlet]
wheels skates.

00:16:00 [Mitchell]
They all have four wheels.

00:16:01 [Scarlet]
Well, you you know, the two in the front, two in the back.

00:16:04 [Mitchell]
You mean a roller skate as opposed to a rollerblade?
00:16:06 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:16:06 [Mitchell]
Or inline skate.
00:16:07 [Mitchell]
Sorry.
00:16:08 [Mitchell]
Rollerblade

00:16:08 [Scarlet]
trade route.
00:16:09 [Scarlet]
Do roller skates.

00:16:11 [Mitchell]
Oh, okay.

00:16:12 [Scarlet]
I I just could not.

00:16:13 [Mitchell]
I mean, I could.
00:16:14 [Mitchell]
I wasn’t I was, like, I wasn’t great.
00:16:16 [Mitchell]
I was good.
00:16:17 [Mitchell]
I was good enough.
00:16:18 [Mitchell]
But then I felt like so

00:16:20 [Scarlet]
Yeah.
00:16:20 [Scarlet]
Things you really don’t But there was Would not enjoy doing as an adult.
00:16:25 [Scarlet]
And I know we’ve done it, what, five, six years ago, we went and did it.

00:16:29 [Mitchell]
The the, like, the roller rink though in the ’19 is before your time.
00:16:34 [Mitchell]
In the nineteen eighties, or maybe the seventies, the roller rink really was kinda the happening place.
00:16:39 [Mitchell]
Like, that’s where you went and oh, dear.
00:16:43 [Mitchell]
Sorry.
00:16:44 [Mitchell]
I hope this thing is still recording.

00:16:46 [Mitchell]
Boy, sorry, everybody.
00:16:47 [Mitchell]
A little the roller rink, that was where you went and you did, like, you met and you were, like, middle school and high school, and that’s someone might be making out in the corner over there behind whatever or under some coats on a bench.
00:17:00 [Mitchell]
Like, that was the place in the hangout on Friday night.
00:17:02 [Mitchell]
And I this is what I do remember.
00:17:04 [Mitchell]
So when we moved to New Mexico, I was in the fourth grade, and I was there until through sixth grade.

00:17:09 [Mitchell]
So roller rink, real big there.
00:17:11 [Mitchell]
There was I think it was called Skate World, and I don’t think it’s a franchise.
00:17:15 [Mitchell]
I’m sure there’s other ones.
00:17:16 [Mitchell]
But that one and there was the main roller rink there.
00:17:20 [Mitchell]
That was your classic big one.

00:17:21 [Mitchell]
Had a little thing and then the thing thing.
00:17:24 [Mitchell]
That’s real descriptive.
00:17:25 [Mitchell]
Oh, it had the thing, you know, a snack for our concessions, just by where we could sit.
00:17:30 [Mitchell]
And that one though, I remember, like, oh, you’d go there and you’d hoping to maybe, do a little slow dance or, like, slow skate.
00:17:39 [Mitchell]
Couples couples skate.

00:17:40 [Mitchell]
That’s right.
00:17:40 [Mitchell]
A couple skate How

00:17:41 [Scarlet]
does it do that?

00:17:42 [Mitchell]
Well, you would you would the girls were always really good, so they could skate backwards, and you would skate forward.
00:17:46 [Mitchell]
And just you were holding hands.
00:17:48 [Mitchell]
You were holding hands, couple skating in a

00:17:50 [Scarlet]
Okay.

00:17:51 [Mitchell]
In a oval.
00:17:52 [Mitchell]
Like, you never couple skated?
00:17:53 [Mitchell]
Because they’d be like

00:17:54 [Scarlet]
I’ve never been to that.

00:17:55 [Mitchell]
This next song is couples only.
00:17:57 [Mitchell]
Couples only.
00:17:58 [Mitchell]
And then would be like, oh, the wind beneath or something, you know, song from then.
00:18:03 [Mitchell]
And then you’d go and be like, oh, you’re hoping that.
00:18:05 [Mitchell]
Oh, I was hoping Amber Amber Newbill when she asked me to, oh, Amber, you wanna oh, you know.

00:18:11 [Mitchell]
And there was some guys, but then the girls who were, like, into skating, they had their own skates.
00:18:16 [Mitchell]
They had, like, the little outfit.
00:18:17 [Mitchell]
So when I was a rental guy because, you know Yeah.
00:18:20 [Mitchell]
Because, you know, assuming he’s not gonna buy me some skates anytime soon.
00:18:24 [Mitchell]
Even though I pined after a set.

00:18:26 [Mitchell]
But that was, like, Friday night.
00:18:27 [Mitchell]
And then you’d have to be embarrassed because you’re like, oh, my mom’s gonna pick me up at, you know, 10:30.
00:18:32 [Mitchell]
You know?
00:18:32 [Mitchell]
And you’d have to be ready to go.
00:18:35 [Mitchell]
And if she if you’re late, she’d bite peek her head in there, and you’d be all embarrassed because because you’re embarrassed when you’re in middle school.

00:18:41 [Mitchell]
And then Yeah.
00:18:43 [Mitchell]
I feel like I gotta snork.
00:18:44 [Mitchell]
I’m sorry, folks.
00:18:46 [Mitchell]
So I probably should’ve brushed my teeth.
00:18:49 [Mitchell]
I’m sorry.

00:18:50 [Mitchell]
Over there.

00:18:52 [Scarlet]
It’s you’re fine.

00:18:54 [Mitchell]
What does that mean?

00:18:55 [Scarlet]
I don’t even notice it anymore.

00:18:56 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:18:56 [Mitchell]
I’m just, like,

00:18:57 [Scarlet]
swimming in a cloud of it.

00:18:59 [Mitchell]
From what?
00:19:00 [Mitchell]
Everybody?

00:19:01 [Scarlet]
And well, I don’t no.

00:19:02 [Mitchell]
From me?

00:19:03 [Scarlet]
No.
00:19:04 [Scarlet]
I’m just suspect like, if this were a cartoon, it would just be like a cloud of green with, like

00:19:09 [Mitchell]
From what?
00:19:09 [Mitchell]
Me?

00:19:10 [Scarlet]
Yeah.
00:19:10 [Scarlet]
Why?
00:19:12 [Scarlet]
Little fishbone hanging out.
00:19:14 [Scarlet]
I don’t know.
00:19:14 [Scarlet]
That’s always what you say.

00:19:16 [Scarlet]
What?

00:19:17 [Mitchell]
I’m sorry.
00:19:18 [Mitchell]
Now I feel like you gotta pause it.
00:19:19 [Mitchell]
I think you’ll

00:19:20 [Scarlet]
You’re fine.
00:19:22 [Scarlet]
I’m fine now.

00:19:26 [Mitchell]
Okay.
00:19:27 [Mitchell]
Well, we’ve had sickness

00:19:28 [Scarlet]
in the home.
00:19:29 [Scarlet]
No.
00:19:29 [Scarlet]
Yeah.
00:19:29 [Scarlet]
It it’s true.
00:19:30 [Scarlet]
And my mouth’s really dry because I’ve been out working in the backyard.

00:19:35 [Mitchell]
Well, I have stuff draining out of the back of my nose now and I’m frustrated because now I’m thinking about your cartoon drawing of a green cloud in here.
00:19:45 [Mitchell]
Okay.
00:19:46 [Mitchell]
Next I derailed myself.
00:19:49 [Mitchell]
Well, now I feel like I’m British.

00:19:50 [Scarlet]
Birthday parties.
00:19:51 [Scarlet]
We ended up on skating rinks and

00:19:53 [Mitchell]
I’m gonna shield myself for you.

00:19:55 [Scarlet]
And your mom is not a birthday mom.
00:19:57 [Scarlet]
Got it.

00:19:57 [Mitchell]
That’s embarrassing.
00:19:58 [Mitchell]
I hope that doesn’t appear on camera.

00:20:00 [Scarlet]
She probably went more out for Max’s

00:20:02 [Mitchell]
The green.

00:20:03 [Scarlet]
Than she ever did for yours.

00:20:04 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:20:05 [Mitchell]
I mean, they I got good stuff.
00:20:07 [Mitchell]
We just didn’t do the party thing.
00:20:08 [Mitchell]
Like, maybe.
00:20:09 [Mitchell]
I don’t know.

00:20:10 [Mitchell]
I don’t I don’t ever remember having, like, OC Stompers.
00:20:14 [Mitchell]
That was a big thing in my day.
00:20:16 [Mitchell]
Or a GI Joe party or none of that.
00:20:18 [Mitchell]
But I remember friends.
00:20:19 [Mitchell]
I was talking about Jeremy, and they had this skating rink party.

00:20:22 [Mitchell]
Another party very popular in Missouri.
00:20:26 [Mitchell]
I feel like I should give you a mask.

00:20:29 [Scarlet]
I’m fine.
00:20:31 [Scarlet]
Come on.

00:20:31 [Mitchell]
Okay.
00:20:32 [Mitchell]
A party a popular party option in Missouri was you would have a Godfather’s Pizza party.
00:20:37 [Mitchell]
You ever heard of Godfather’s Pizza?

00:20:40 [Scarlet]
Yes.
00:20:40 [Scarlet]
Okay.
00:20:41 [Scarlet]
Swaddling.

00:20:41 [Mitchell]
It’s a chain.

00:20:42 [Scarlet]
Oh, yes.
00:20:43 [Scarlet]
It is.

00:20:43 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:20:44 [Mitchell]
I am.
00:20:44 [Mitchell]
Go and if I was a kid, you would go there for a pizza party in the day, and you would get to make your own little personal pizza.
00:20:50 [Mitchell]
You could put whatever you wanted on it.
00:20:52 [Mitchell]
And I had and the same with the McDonald’s.

00:20:54 [Mitchell]
That’s where the orange drink is very famous.

00:20:56 [Scarlet]
Parties.
00:20:57 [Scarlet]
Yeah.

00:20:57 [Mitchell]
Yep.
00:20:57 [Mitchell]
But this would

00:20:58 [Scarlet]
We did a few of those.

00:20:59 [Mitchell]
Godfathers you had to go back in the kitchen and make your own little personal pizza.
00:21:02 [Mitchell]
It was probably, like, I don’t know, seven inch, six inch pizza.
00:21:05 [Mitchell]
Mhmm.
00:21:05 [Mitchell]
And I remember one time Robbie Cardwell and I were having a contest, and we’re seeing who many who could put the most of the red pepper things on there Mhmm.
00:21:12 [Mitchell]
On their pizza.

00:21:12 [Mitchell]
And I remember, like, the roof of my mouth started, like, bleeding from the amount of red pepper sprinkles I’d put on there, thinking I was gonna be the cool guy that could do all the red peppers.
00:21:21 [Mitchell]
Right?

00:21:21 [Scarlet]
Wow.

00:21:22 [Mitchell]
Anyway, but then you’d have your pizza, and you’d eat that little four piece Godfather’s pizza.
00:21:27 [Mitchell]
And yeah.
00:21:28 [Mitchell]
I mean, that one the McDonald’s party’s fun too, but you didn’t get to go back and, like, make your own hamburger or nothing.
00:21:33 [Mitchell]
That wasn’t happening.

00:21:34 [Scarlet]
No.
00:21:35 [Scarlet]
But, like, you had the play place.

00:21:36 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:21:37 [Mitchell]
It was Orange drink?

00:21:38 [Scarlet]
I think you got free ice cream cones back then for the party.

00:21:41 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:21:42 [Mitchell]
It was good times.
00:21:43 [Mitchell]
What do we eat there?
00:21:44 [Mitchell]
I actually don’t remember.
00:21:45 [Mitchell]
I just remember the orange drink.

00:21:46 [Mitchell]
I don’t remember eating food at the McDonald’s party.
00:21:48 [Mitchell]
That’s probably actually

00:21:48 [Scarlet]
Chicken nuggets?

00:21:50 [Mitchell]
I don’t know.

00:21:51 [Scarlet]
I don’t know.

00:21:52 [Mitchell]
Okay.
00:21:52 [Mitchell]
There.
00:21:53 [Mitchell]
So anyway.

00:21:55 [Scarlet]
My head’s my head is so itchy from all the dirt

00:21:58 [Mitchell]
in my head.
00:21:58 [Mitchell]
The birthday parties, we kinda talked a little about back then.
00:22:01 [Mitchell]
And then now, how you feel because how do you feel about your own birthday now?

00:22:06 [Scarlet]
I want it on the down low.
00:22:09 [Scarlet]
I guess I want people to acknowledge it.
00:22:11 [Scarlet]
Oh.
00:22:12 [Scarlet]
Like

00:22:12 [Mitchell]
Are you like No.
00:22:14 [Mitchell]
Like because I’ve had

00:22:15 [Scarlet]
a birthday and

00:22:16 [Mitchell]
been at work and been a whole day and nobody knows and I’m just secretly like.

00:22:20 [Scarlet]
Oh, I don’t want people at work.

00:22:21 [Mitchell]
I want airbags in my family.
00:22:23 [Mitchell]
So, you

00:22:24 [Scarlet]
know, I don’t care about people at work because then it turns into, like, you know, some people birthday.
00:22:29 [Scarlet]
Are birthday people, and you’re like, woah, woah, woah.
00:22:31 [Scarlet]
I don’t need they’re like, I’m gonna order donuts, and you’re like, okay.
00:22:34 [Scarlet]
And then they write it on the whiteboard, and then all day long, people are like and I’m like, okay.
00:22:38 [Scarlet]
Yeah.

00:22:38 [Scarlet]
Thanks.

00:22:39 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:22:39 [Mitchell]
It’s kinda interesting because I would you might think I would be a birthday person.
00:22:43 [Mitchell]
I mean, I’m now and I’m very clearly the anti birthday person.
00:22:47 [Mitchell]
Like, I’m the, oh, I hate birthdays.
00:22:49 [Mitchell]
I’m that guy, you know, where I hate them.

00:22:51 [Scarlet]
Your dad?

00:22:51 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:22:52 [Mitchell]
And I it’s not that I hate them.
00:22:54 [Mitchell]
You know why you know what it is?
00:22:56 [Mitchell]
Now this is you’re gonna be like, oh, I don’t like I don’t need a big deal made about me on my birthday.
00:23:02 [Mitchell]
Okay?

00:23:02 [Mitchell]
I do I do that.

00:23:03 [Scarlet]
Every other day of the year.

00:23:04 [Mitchell]
I like to be the center of attention that all that is true about my birthday.
00:23:07 [Mitchell]
It’s just like, yeah, you know, I don’t know.
00:23:09 [Mitchell]
Like, I guess it’s sort of like Weird.
00:23:12 [Mitchell]
The magic is worn off to where I’m like, I just made another revolution around the sun.
00:23:16 [Mitchell]
Big deal.

00:23:16 [Mitchell]
Like, we’re all doing it.
00:23:18 [Mitchell]
Like, you know, this is not I didn’t get an award.
00:23:22 [Mitchell]
But I respect the birthday moms because it’s like, hey, it’s like saying, hey, it’s a special day for you.
00:23:27 [Mitchell]
I want you to feel good about today.
00:23:29 [Mitchell]
And so are you gonna be But you’re

00:23:30 [Scarlet]
doing it all wrong.

00:23:32 [Mitchell]
Well, I think I feel like you gotta if you did too much on his fourth birthday, then you’re setting you like you build up.
00:23:39 [Mitchell]
So by the time he

00:23:40 [Scarlet]
I’m just like never gonna be the mom who’s like, hey, listen by all your school friends.

00:23:45 [Mitchell]
Oh, Man, that is

00:23:46 [Scarlet]
To, so I can now talk to all these parents who I don’t know or really care to get to know.
00:23:54 [Scarlet]
Mhmm.
00:23:55 [Scarlet]
You know?

00:23:55 [Mitchell]
It sounds very uncomfortable.

00:23:57 [Scarlet]
No.
00:23:59 [Scarlet]
No interest.

00:24:00 [Mitchell]
Yeah.

00:24:00 [Scarlet]
I don’t know.
00:24:01 [Scarlet]
Maybe that’s why it’s good to have a place like Wildlings or something, so then everybody

00:24:06 [Mitchell]
Can drink.

00:24:06 [Scarlet]
Can like okay.
00:24:08 [Scarlet]
Yeah.
00:24:09 [Scarlet]
But self entertain.
00:24:10 [Scarlet]
You don’t feel like you’re like, oh, we’re all we’re all like, I don’t know, we’re all at our house.
00:24:15 [Scarlet]
Yeah.

00:24:15 [Scarlet]
And you’re just like, oh.
00:24:17 [Scarlet]
And so we have to, like, talk to each other, but more you can just kind of peel off and do We saw that when at Wild Wings when they had a birthday and some people were here and there and, you know.

00:24:26 [Mitchell]
Maybe that’s why that beauty of you’re somewhere where there’s other distractions, whereas when you’re at home, then it’s just like, oh, so hey, you guys, lived here long?
00:24:34 [Mitchell]
And, you know, like, you’re just kinda like,

00:24:36 [Scarlet]
yeah.
00:24:36 [Scarlet]
I mean, I guess there is something sad where it’s like, oh, Max, we’re gonna take you to a play thing, you know, an indoor play place on your birthday.
00:24:44 [Scarlet]
And then he gets there and he’s like, there’s nobody here to play with.

00:24:49 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:24:50 [Mitchell]
And

00:24:50 [Scarlet]
you’re like, oh, okay.
00:24:51 [Scarlet]
Happy birthday.
00:24:53 [Scarlet]
Hey, buddy.

00:24:54 [Mitchell]
I don’t know.

00:24:55 [Scarlet]
That I guess that’s kinda sad.
00:24:56 [Scarlet]
So We always had a church community, though.
00:24:59 [Scarlet]
Yeah.
00:24:59 [Scarlet]
To, like, where everybody already knew each other.
00:25:03 [Scarlet]
Maybe that’s the difference.

00:25:04 [Scarlet]
We are not church people.
00:25:06 [Scarlet]
I think we’ve been pretty open about that, nor will we ever be.

00:25:11 [Mitchell]
Okay.
00:25:11 [Mitchell]
Good.
00:25:12 [Mitchell]
Which we’ve been open with each other about that.

00:25:15 [Scarlet]
Yes.

00:25:16 [Mitchell]
Unless we find a church that’s not religious.

00:25:18 [Scarlet]
Yeah.
00:25:18 [Scarlet]
I mean, there’s, like, that gathering place or whatever.

00:25:21 [Mitchell]
But It’s the one it’s online, but it’s I no.

00:25:24 [Scarlet]
They’ve updated their sign down the street.

00:25:26 [Mitchell]
Fine.
00:25:27 [Mitchell]
Anyways,

00:25:29 [Scarlet]
I was only gonna tell something, but I forgot.
00:25:31 [Scarlet]
It doesn’t matter.

00:25:32 [Mitchell]
Thing and Max and having birthday parties.
00:25:34 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:25:34 [Mitchell]
Well, it doesn’t matter.
00:25:35 [Mitchell]
Okay.

00:25:35 [Scarlet]
So I do miss the community that church provided.
00:25:39 [Scarlet]
It was a self made community.

00:25:41 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:25:41 [Mitchell]
No.
00:25:41 [Mitchell]
It is the community of church is instant.
00:25:43 [Mitchell]
It’s nice.
00:25:44 [Mitchell]
It means you have a support system kinda built in, you know.

00:25:49 [Mitchell]
It has a little bit of a cost in the sense of you should probably attend the meeting or meetings weekly and participate, which some people enjoy.
00:25:58 [Mitchell]
I’m not anti that.
00:25:59 [Mitchell]
But at some level, sometimes it’s just a lot.

00:26:02 [Scarlet]
And we’re not here bashing church people at all because it you know, for some people, they love it.
00:26:07 [Scarlet]
And we I happen to grow up in it my whole life, and I’ve lived that life, and I just have no more interest.
00:26:13 [Scarlet]
They’re good people, and they’re horrible people.

00:26:15 [Mitchell]
Right.
00:26:16 [Mitchell]
Wherever you go.

00:26:16 [Scarlet]
Wherever you go.

00:26:17 [Mitchell]
If you don’t have to go to a church or not.
00:26:18 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:26:18 [Mitchell]
No.
00:26:19 [Mitchell]
I’m with you.
00:26:19 [Mitchell]
I I, I enjoyed that community.

00:26:22 [Mitchell]
It was nice, but which is why okay.
00:26:25 [Mitchell]
We’re not gonna really talk about this.
00:26:26 [Mitchell]
However, I’m gonna say that idea, I always thought we talked about once.
00:26:30 [Mitchell]
If there was a church where you could go there and it wasn’t religious, but it was it was the same community, but then you would go and then every week there would be a speaker, you know, the the Yeah.
00:26:44 [Mitchell]
The preacher of the sermon, but it’d be someone and they would might and it would be different.

00:26:47 [Mitchell]
Like, one week it might be a guy who’s, fine well, this now sounds bad.
00:26:51 [Mitchell]
But he might be a finance guy, but he might just have, like, he might give a little thirty minute talk about, hey Yeah.
00:26:57 [Mitchell]
Some things you can do or may it sounds like, great.
00:27:00 [Mitchell]
Someone’s gonna try to get me invest, but like that.
00:27:02 [Mitchell]
Or maybe it’s a week and some ladies talking about home gardening

00:27:05 [Scarlet]
or just, like, taking a picture.
00:27:07 [Scarlet]
Gardening.
00:27:08 [Scarlet]
Like, you’re just talking to people.
00:27:09 [Scarlet]
They’re like, hey.
00:27:10 [Scarlet]
I’m an expert, and I consider myself an expert in this field.

00:27:13 [Scarlet]
Do you guys have any questions for me?

00:27:15 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:27:15 [Mitchell]
Something where you can get together.
00:27:16 [Mitchell]
You have the social thing, but what you’re learning is things that interest you and may not be.

00:27:20 [Scarlet]
And then maybe as a group, you actually go and volunteer at, like, the food pantry down the street.

00:27:25 [Mitchell]
You still do similar things.
00:27:27 [Mitchell]
You just aren’t talking about you’re not interested.
00:27:30 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:27:30 [Mitchell]
It’s not theology based.

00:27:32 [Scarlet]
That’s the part I don’t need.

00:27:34 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:27:34 [Mitchell]
Because if I went

00:27:35 [Scarlet]
somewhere And for people, that should be very personal, in my opinion

00:27:40 [Mitchell]
Right.

00:27:40 [Scarlet]
Your relationship with God, the universe, whatever you wanna call it.

00:27:46 [Mitchell]
So if you know of something like this, maybe people are like, these people are dumb.
00:27:52 [Mitchell]
This is called the, I don’t know, the YMCA.
00:27:55 [Mitchell]
I don’t know.
00:27:55 [Mitchell]
I’m just saying, like, AA.
00:27:57 [Mitchell]
I’m saying there might be groups out there that do this, already, but I would you know, we talked about it.

00:28:02 [Mitchell]
Or even if it was like and then maybe on that day, oh, oh, see now the super is like, you I said, we’re not talking about this.
00:28:09 [Mitchell]
And now we’re talking about it.
00:28:11 [Mitchell]
It’s like you meet you got like little an hour long little thing or forty minutes, whatever is appropriate.
00:28:16 [Mitchell]
And then it’s like, hey, we actually have there’s a little like nursery so your kids have a time to spend together.
00:28:21 [Mitchell]
And now you get to go, oh, you wanna do like, we’re doing you can break up and we have a yoga or there’s a meditation.

00:28:27 [Mitchell]
There might be just a few, like, small, like, yes.
00:28:30 [Mitchell]
I would say I

00:28:30 [Scarlet]
was gonna do a guided meditation.

00:28:32 [Mitchell]
Quote, unquote.
00:28:33 [Mitchell]
Oh.

00:28:34 [Scarlet]
And now If we were, like, actually go getter people, probably

00:28:39 [Mitchell]
Right?
00:28:40 [Mitchell]
Sell this.
00:28:41 [Mitchell]
Do not sell it.
00:28:42 [Mitchell]
And then you do that and people are like, yeah, I love this.
00:28:45 [Mitchell]
It’s like, you know, the kids were watched.

00:28:47 [Mitchell]
Even if it’s a short, you know, like, and you had time to you know, or maybe it’s like, oh, they have

00:28:53 [Scarlet]
a couple’s therapy kind of It’s like an abbreviated

00:28:56 [Mitchell]
wellness retreat.
00:28:56 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:28:57 [Mitchell]
But every week, the wellness church.
00:28:58 [Mitchell]
Well, I don’t know if we’re gonna use the term church.
00:29:02 [Mitchell]
But if you don’t, I don’t know.

00:29:04 [Mitchell]
Anyway, that’s, however we got there from birthdays.
00:29:07 [Mitchell]
Good work, birthdays.
00:29:09 [Mitchell]
Keep it up.
00:29:12 [Mitchell]
Oh, well, I don’t know.
00:29:13 [Mitchell]
See, I had this list but we don’t have to go there.

00:29:16 [Mitchell]
We can do whatever we want.
00:29:18 [Mitchell]
I was so this does bring up a point, interesting point.
00:29:22 [Mitchell]
I was thinking about, like, what’s the purpose of this show?
00:29:25 [Mitchell]
And I know we’re already, what, thirty minutes in people, and now you’re like, yeah.
00:29:28 [Mitchell]
What is that?

00:29:29 [Mitchell]
Not this particular episode, but the purpose of this podcast.
00:29:33 [Mitchell]
Right?
00:29:33 [Mitchell]
And it I was just reflecting on this because I thought, oh, you know, there’s podcasts that I listen to where there is, informative, where it’s like, I’m gonna learn something about a topic.
00:29:43 [Mitchell]
Huberman.
00:29:44 [Mitchell]
Yeah.

00:29:44 [Mitchell]
Huberman Labs.
00:29:45 [Mitchell]
I like that one.
00:29:46 [Mitchell]
It’s just like, oh, yeah.
00:29:47 [Mitchell]
I mean, I wanna learn about you know, and I get to pick which ones I wanna learn about or not.
00:29:51 [Mitchell]
It’s informational, educational, science and wait.

00:29:55 [Mitchell]
Whatever he says.
00:29:57 [Mitchell]
So there’s that kind.
00:29:58 [Mitchell]
And then there’s like Good Hang with Amy Poehler, which I go to listen to and they have celebrity guests, you know.
00:30:04 [Mitchell]
And that’s a a celebrities on and it’s a celebrity pod podcast, you know, it’s like that.
00:30:09 [Mitchell]
We are obviously not a celebrity podcast yet.

00:30:14 [Mitchell]
And We’re one

00:30:15 [Scarlet]
of these days.

00:30:16 [Mitchell]
And we’re not necessarily educational.
00:30:18 [Mitchell]
I’ve well, I always tell people, it’s just entertainment.
00:30:20 [Mitchell]
Right?
00:30:21 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:30:21 [Mitchell]
It’s maybe entertainment, but also

00:30:24 [Scarlet]
I I like to describe it as, like, regular people having regular conversations that probably other people have

00:30:34 [Mitchell]
Right.

00:30:35 [Scarlet]
About life, pets, work, family.

00:30:41 [Mitchell]
Religion.
00:30:41 [Mitchell]
Whatever it is.

00:30:42 [Scarlet]
Anything.

00:30:42 [Mitchell]
Right.
00:30:43 [Mitchell]
And it’s a chance to just say, hey.
00:30:45 [Mitchell]
I’m listening to somebody else and if you agreed with us or not or you could always send feedback.
00:30:50 [Mitchell]
This wasn’t my plug.
00:30:51 [Mitchell]
But, you know, yeah.

00:30:52 [Mitchell]
So I always think, you know, it’s kind of entertainment and, you know, and it is the idea so I had an idea for a podcast a long time ago that I never did.
00:31:01 [Mitchell]
But the idea was around a topic that was, about suicide prevention And and stories of suicide, not okay.
00:31:10 [Mitchell]
Stories of survivors of suicide, which is a term we use for not someone who survived a suicide attempt.

00:31:16 [Scarlet]
Yeah.
00:31:17 [Scarlet]
The family members.

00:31:17 [Mitchell]
That’s leftover.
00:31:18 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:31:19 [Mitchell]
SOS.

00:31:19 [Scarlet]
And other affected.
00:31:20 [Scarlet]
Yeah.

00:31:20 [Mitchell]
And it would actually, I had owned the website forever and was called, Out of the Dark or excuse me.
00:31:27 [Mitchell]
Was it Kya?
00:31:27 [Mitchell]
No.
00:31:27 [Mitchell]
Out of the darkness is a big walk that’s done for suicide awareness every year in a different city, and I was mine was called After the Darkness, I think.
00:31:36 [Mitchell]
That was the name of the podcast.

00:31:37 [Mitchell]
I know it never launched.
00:31:38 [Mitchell]
It was called After the Darkness.
00:31:39 [Mitchell]
So my idea was like, oh, people I’ll get people to interview them about their story and their trail and their path following suicide of a friend, family member, whatever.
00:31:48 [Mitchell]
Mhmm.
00:31:48 [Mitchell]
And I thought and the idea and what I’m getting at before, you know, was I thought this was something I was looking for after my brother after losing my brother.

00:31:57 [Mitchell]
I was searching for community or I wanted somebody I wanted to be able to meet.
00:32:02 [Mitchell]
And there’s some groups, but

00:32:04 [Scarlet]
Yeah.

00:32:04 [Mitchell]
I wanted to be able to hear someone else’s story.

00:32:06 [Scarlet]
Kinda like I want a stepmom community.
00:32:09 [Scarlet]
Right.
00:32:10 [Scarlet]
So You want it’s a very niche community.
00:32:13 [Scarlet]
Right.

00:32:13 [Mitchell]
I

00:32:13 [Scarlet]
mean, it’s probably not, but it is.
00:32:16 [Scarlet]
Right.

00:32:16 [Mitchell]
And I felt like people are searching or reaching for you want to.
00:32:20 [Mitchell]
It’s not necessarily just about validating how you feel, but it is to go like, oh, someone else feels like me.
00:32:26 [Mitchell]
I’m not alone anymore.
00:32:27 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:32:27 [Mitchell]
Because I felt so alone after my brother because I was like reaching and grasping, trying to find someone who could say, hey, I’ve been through this.

00:32:35 [Mitchell]
Let me tell you, it gets better, it changes.
00:32:38 [Mitchell]
Here’s what you’re up to get.
00:32:39 [Mitchell]
So in other words, the idea of a community through podcast, which is like, oh, somebody can go, hey, I’m a you know, maybe in this case, someone’s like, I’m a nurse or I’m a working you know, we got two whatever, and I’m curious.
00:32:52 [Mitchell]
So maybe that’s partly why I say it’s like, it’s entertainment, maybe it’s a little community for someone to say, yeah, this is these are the same struggles we go through.
00:33:00 [Mitchell]
I mean, it is doing the most.

00:33:01 [Mitchell]
It’s about, you know, that’s kind of the fun tongue and cheek where it’s like, sometimes it’s like we feel like we’re just doing the most in everything Yeah.
00:33:08 [Mitchell]
And all the garbage.
00:33:09 [Mitchell]
Or people we deal with are doing the most.
00:33:11 [Mitchell]
And how do you kinda not do that or get away from that?
00:33:14 [Mitchell]
Anyway, so if you could have a guest on our show, celebrity or otherwise, who would it be?

00:33:25 [Scarlet]
Man, I should have thought of this.

00:33:26 [Mitchell]
You didn’t.
00:33:27 [Mitchell]
Do you

00:33:27 [Scarlet]
wanna well, I thought you were gonna do, like, what celebrities do you follow on social media?
00:33:32 [Scarlet]
Because we were talking about that.

00:33:34 [Mitchell]
We’re gonna get that.

00:33:35 [Scarlet]
And then I was like, you’re never gonna guess mine.
00:33:37 [Scarlet]
You might guess one of mine.
00:33:39 [Scarlet]
But,

00:33:42 [Mitchell]
I mean, you know, I’m just throwing that.

00:33:43 [Scarlet]
You go first.

00:33:44 [Mitchell]
Well, I didn’t I, you know, that’s I didn’t I thought about this one and I couldn’t, like because you do that thing, like, well, what who would I wanna is it because I wanna meet someone or I wanna know more about someone or I wanna learn about someone?
00:33:57 [Mitchell]
Like, I don’t know.
00:34:01 [Mitchell]
That’s yeah.
00:34:01 [Mitchell]
I don’t have a good answer.
00:34:03 [Mitchell]
So if we how about this?

00:34:04 [Mitchell]
If we were doing a podcast and it was like, hey, we’re gonna interview someone and it had to be someone it doesn’t really matter, I don’t know.
00:34:14 [Mitchell]
I don’t have because I I have a celebrity that I like, which is Ewan McGregor.
00:34:18 [Mitchell]
He’s my man crush.
00:34:20 [Mitchell]
But you know, if I’m like, oh, if I’m gonna interview someone for informational or because I wanted to learn more about him, I don’t know.
00:34:29 [Mitchell]
Great.

00:34:30 [Mitchell]
What a crummy question I’ve asked that I don’t even have my own answer to.

00:34:33 [Scarlet]
Well

00:34:34 [Mitchell]
Because well, how about this?
00:34:36 [Mitchell]
Is there some

00:34:36 [Scarlet]
I’m just like not a I don’t know.
00:34:38 [Scarlet]
I hate to say this, but because I don’t even know what this means.
00:34:41 [Scarlet]
I’m not like a celebrity person.
00:34:43 [Scarlet]
I don’t idolize.

00:34:45 [Mitchell]
Here’s here’s mine.
00:34:46 [Mitchell]
Thomas.
00:34:46 [Mitchell]
Celebrity.
00:34:47 [Mitchell]
I would like to converse with him and find out, like, hey.
00:34:50 [Mitchell]
How have you done it?

00:34:52 [Mitchell]
Mhmm.
00:34:52 [Mitchell]
How do you you’re producer, director, actor.
00:34:55 [Mitchell]
Do you have a family like maybe Yeah.

00:34:57 [Scarlet]
He’s on the down low.

00:34:57 [Mitchell]
He seemed like a a decent guy.
00:35:00 [Mitchell]
Guy.
00:35:00 [Mitchell]
Like, you’d be like you’d feel comfortable and at ease with him.
00:35:03 [Mitchell]
That would be my guy.
00:35:03 [Mitchell]
But, hey, Tom Tom Hanks, you know.

00:35:07 [Mitchell]
Welcome to the show.
00:35:08 [Mitchell]
Right?
00:35:08 [Mitchell]
You know?
00:35:09 [Mitchell]
Which isn’t a very good answer, but he’s like, you know, I can probably think of someone else.
00:35:13 [Mitchell]
I feel like there’s some people out there who are celebrities, who are like musicians and actors and artists and, you know, Viggo Mortensen.

00:35:21 [Mitchell]
You know who he is?
00:35:22 [Mitchell]
No.
00:35:22 [Mitchell]
Oh, he’s I don’t know if he’s that interesting, but he’s like an artist and he’s done some acting and some other things.
00:35:27 [Mitchell]
There’s people like that, but so if you don’t have an answer, that’s okay.
00:35:31 [Mitchell]
We can move on to

00:35:32 [Scarlet]
the other side

00:35:33 [Mitchell]
of the street.
00:35:33 [Mitchell]
I don’t have an answer.
00:35:33 [Mitchell]
Okay.
00:35:34 [Mitchell]
Which is fine.
00:35:35 [Mitchell]
If we don’t feel worthy to interview someone.

00:35:37 [Mitchell]
Oh, and that air conditioning came on in here.
00:35:39 [Mitchell]
It feels good.
00:35:40 [Mitchell]
Because I am wearing a sweatshirt.
00:35:42 [Mitchell]
Because I want because that’s how I cover up my not feeling good about my body right now.
00:35:49 [Mitchell]
Okay.

00:35:50 [Mitchell]
So then I said, well, it’s interesting.
00:35:52 [Mitchell]
So I was talking about TikTok because we’re on TikTok.
00:35:54 [Mitchell]
And I was like Mhmm.
00:35:55 [Mitchell]
It’s interesting how TikTok is, like, I have a few celebrities.
00:36:00 [Mitchell]
No.

00:36:01 [Mitchell]
There’s only one that I think that I follow recently.
00:36:04 [Mitchell]
But I don’t and in his account, I was like, boy, he doesn’t have as many, likes or like it just wasn’t as popular as I would have thought.
00:36:13 [Mitchell]
Like, you know, just kinda like, oh, his numbers were not that impressive for a celebrity named Chris Pratt.
00:36:20 [Mitchell]
Right?
00:36:20 [Mitchell]
But he does these and at first, I thought, is this AI?

00:36:23 [Mitchell]
Is this something?
00:36:24 [Mitchell]
And I was like, no.
00:36:24 [Mitchell]
This really is him.
00:36:25 [Mitchell]
And then

00:36:25 [Scarlet]
And that was his verified account?

00:36:27 [Mitchell]
I’m pretty sure.
00:36:29 [Mitchell]
Because they weren’t yeah.
00:36:30 [Mitchell]
They just seemed like normally things, but I was kinda like, oh, I don’t know.
00:36:33 [Mitchell]
It’s interesting.
00:36:34 [Mitchell]
Right?

00:36:35 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:36:35 [Mitchell]
But not and I don’t I could pull it up if I had a phone.
00:36:38 [Mitchell]
It’s not as, it just wasn’t as like, I don’t know.
00:36:41 [Mitchell]
So I could pull up some of my random other people in my feed who have, you know, millions of likes, And his mark millions.
00:36:49 [Mitchell]
Right?

00:36:49 [Mitchell]
And I was like, oh, wow.
00:36:51 [Mitchell]
And I thought it made me think, like, I don’t go to TikTok because I wanna see what Chris Pratt is up to.
00:36:58 [Mitchell]
Sorry, Chris, if you’re a listener.
00:37:00 [Mitchell]
Listening.
00:37:01 [Mitchell]
Listener.

00:37:02 [Mitchell]
Listener.
00:37:03 [Mitchell]
I go because I think that’s what made me think, like, maybe it’s about the the fact that you’re watching normal, quote unquote, people like yourself or just people who are producing content.
00:37:13 [Mitchell]
That’s what makes it fun to watch because if if it was Tom Hanks on there, although I feel like there’s a

00:37:19 [Scarlet]
Every now and then, like

00:37:20 [Mitchell]
Like Tim Robbins’ daughter or something, and every now and then she’ll rope him in.
00:37:24 [Mitchell]
Or there’s every now and then there’s a celebrity and it’s okay.
00:37:27 [Mitchell]
I’m not saying they’re bad.
00:37:28 [Mitchell]
I’m just saying like

00:37:29 [Scarlet]
Oh my gosh.
00:37:29 [Scarlet]
So like Yeah.
00:37:31 [Scarlet]
Will Ferrell’s son, Angus, has the, like, one of the best TikTok accounts.

00:37:38 [Mitchell]
Oh, really?

00:37:39 [Scarlet]
So funny.

00:37:40 [Mitchell]
Now and people probably don’t know until they see.
00:37:43 [Mitchell]
And then do you think Right.

00:37:44 [Scarlet]
And they’re

00:37:44 [Mitchell]
is Will Ferrell’s son, or is he genuinely

00:37:48 [Scarlet]
He’s genuinely hilarious.

00:37:50 [Mitchell]
Whereas you get, like, John Ritter’s son.

00:37:53 [Scarlet]
Oh, it’s also so funny.

00:37:55 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:37:55 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:37:55 [Mitchell]
So maybe family.
00:37:56 [Mitchell]
The arugula.
00:37:57 [Mitchell]
Yeah.

00:37:58 [Mitchell]
Family members of celebrities on Twitter.
00:38:01 [Mitchell]
Maybe that’s where they go.
00:38:02 [Mitchell]
But Yeah.
00:38:03 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:38:04 [Mitchell]
Yeah.

00:38:04 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:38:04 [Mitchell]
So Chris Pratt is the only one that I think I follow, and I don’t even know why I’ve I don’t even know.
00:38:10 [Mitchell]
Do you follow someone?
00:38:11 [Mitchell]
I just on TikTok, or do you just like something and they keep jamming it in your feed?
00:38:16 [Mitchell]
This is how TikTok dumb I am.

00:38:17 [Scarlet]
You might I mean, plus sign on their picture.

00:38:22 [Mitchell]
I probably I don’t know.

00:38:23 [Scarlet]
And then that means you followed them.

00:38:25 [Mitchell]
Okay.
00:38:26 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:38:27 [Mitchell]
Okay.
00:38:27 [Mitchell]
Now and you were saying you have a few celebrities that you follow or you don’t follow.

00:38:33 [Scarlet]
Yeah.
00:38:33 [Scarlet]
And and, like, now I’m now I’m, like, scaling it back to celebrities, I’m gonna say, who actually run their TikTok accounts.
00:38:40 [Scarlet]
Cause you know how some you’ll get like, like if I had to say Taylor swift, I don’t think Taylor swift is like taking videos every day and like posting it to her account.
00:38:49 [Scarlet]
It’s more someone running it for her.
00:38:53 [Scarlet]
But one that I follow is really funny is Kyle McClanahan.

00:38:59 [Scarlet]
Kyle Mac Kyle he was in Twin Peaks.

00:39:02 [Mitchell]
Kyle McLaughlin.
00:39:03 [Mitchell]
Oh, yeah.
00:39:04 [Mitchell]
Or McLaughlin.
00:39:05 [Mitchell]
McLaughlin.
00:39:05 [Mitchell]
I think it’s McLaughlin is the I think that’s the American

00:39:08 [Scarlet]
I’m sorry, Kyle.

00:39:09 [Mitchell]
I think that’s the American pronunciation is Yeah.
00:39:12 [Mitchell]
McLaughlin.
00:39:13 [Mitchell]
Because Or McLaughlin?
00:39:15 [Mitchell]
It looks like McLaughlin.

00:39:16 [Scarlet]
I’m gonna look at it.

00:39:17 [Mitchell]
Kyle McLaughlin.
00:39:18 [Mitchell]
Oh, it’s Kyle McLaughlin.

00:39:19 [Scarlet]
No.
00:39:19 [Scarlet]
It’s Kyle McLachlan.

00:39:22 [Mitchell]
But I think it’s pronounced McLachlan.

00:39:24 [Scarlet]
McLachlan.
00:39:25 [Scarlet]
That does not look right.

00:39:27 [Mitchell]
Because it’s

00:39:27 [Scarlet]
That it looks like Kyle Mac Clacklan.
00:39:31 [Scarlet]
Clacklenn.

00:39:31 [Mitchell]
C l a c.
00:39:32 [Mitchell]
I know how it’s spelled.
00:39:33 [Mitchell]
That’s what I’m saying.
00:39:33 [Mitchell]
I think it’s

00:39:34 [Scarlet]
Okay.

00:39:35 [Mitchell]
I think it’s pronounced McLaughlin.

00:39:36 [Scarlet]
And then the other guy I follow The

00:39:38 [Mitchell]
McLaughlin.
00:39:39 [Mitchell]
That’s what it McLaughlin.
00:39:41 [Mitchell]
Kyle McLaughlin.

00:39:43 [Scarlet]
Kyle McLaughlin.

00:39:44 [Mitchell]
Because it’s Oh, okay.

00:39:46 [Scarlet]
McLaughlin.
00:39:47 [Scarlet]
Kyle McLaughlin.
00:39:48 [Scarlet]
Wow.
00:39:50 [Scarlet]
Okay.

00:39:50 [Mitchell]
Awesome.
00:39:51 [Mitchell]
And then

00:39:51 [Scarlet]
the other one that you follow is the guy who does the voice for Joe on Family Guy and, Kronk on Oh.
00:40:01 [Scarlet]
Emperor’s new group.
00:40:02 [Scarlet]
You know, that guy

00:40:04 [Mitchell]
Well, I can’t think of him while you’re talking.
00:40:06 [Mitchell]
But, like, because he played

00:40:08 [Scarlet]
Also, his so

00:40:09 [Mitchell]
Patrick Warburton?

00:40:10 [Scarlet]
Yes.
00:40:10 [Scarlet]
Yes.
00:40:11 [Scarlet]
Because he gets his kids involved and they all have, like, a similar voice and they’ll have, like, the the, competition of, like, who sounds the most like their

00:40:20 [Mitchell]
dad.
00:40:20 [Mitchell]
Oh, wow.
00:40:21 [Mitchell]
And And for a four year old, it’s impressive.

00:40:24 [Scarlet]
Well, no.
00:40:25 [Scarlet]
They’re all older.

00:40:25 [Mitchell]
They’re grown up.
00:40:26 [Mitchell]
Okay.

00:40:26 [Scarlet]
But he has a really cute TikTok account.

00:40:29 [Mitchell]
Putty on Seinfeld is also Oh, okay.
00:40:31 [Mitchell]
What he’s known for originally.

00:40:33 [Scarlet]
Gotcha.

00:40:33 [Mitchell]
Okay.
00:40:34 [Mitchell]
Now he’s never

00:40:35 [Scarlet]
Now I think he must’ve

00:40:36 [Mitchell]
known for voice.
00:40:37 [Mitchell]
Oh, yeah.

00:40:38 [Scarlet]
I do.
00:40:38 [Scarlet]
Yeah.
00:40:39 [Scarlet]
I love The Emperor’s new crew.
00:40:41 [Scarlet]
Yeah.
00:40:41 [Scarlet]
I still oh, that’s the one I need to show Max because that one is so funny.

00:40:45 [Scarlet]
I mean,

00:40:45 [Mitchell]
that’s your jam.
00:40:47 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:40:47 [Mitchell]
So okay.
00:40:49 [Mitchell]
Kyle MacLachlan.
00:40:50 [Mitchell]
Yeah.

00:40:51 [Mitchell]
Is it is he funny or is he does he do a shtick or is he just, like, making a smoothie?
00:40:56 [Mitchell]
You know how

00:40:57 [Scarlet]
That’s a good question.
00:40:58 [Scarlet]
I

00:40:59 [Mitchell]
because, like, the John Ritter’s is is what John Ritter’s kid’s name.
00:41:03 [Mitchell]
It’s not Jack Ritter, is it?
00:41:05 [Mitchell]
Is it?
00:41:05 [Mitchell]
What’s his Well, I’m sorry.
00:41:08 [Mitchell]
It’s okay.

00:41:08 [Mitchell]
What’s Ritter’s

00:41:09 [Scarlet]
kid’s name?
00:41:10 [Scarlet]
Jack?

00:41:10 [Mitchell]
Jack.
00:41:11 [Mitchell]
No.
00:41:11 [Mitchell]
It’s Jack Tripper.
00:41:12 [Mitchell]
It begins with a John Ritter Ritter.
00:41:15 [Mitchell]
And Jason.

00:41:16 [Mitchell]
Jason Ritter.

00:41:17 [Scarlet]
Yeah.
00:41:17 [Scarlet]
Yeah.
00:41:17 [Scarlet]
Yeah.

00:41:18 [Mitchell]
Jason Ritter is, yeah.
00:41:20 [Mitchell]
Well, oh, I think

00:41:22 [Scarlet]
It’s just it’s just him doing the stupid whatever TikTok dance trends are in different parts of the world that he’s visiting.
00:41:30 [Scarlet]
Yeah.

00:41:30 [Mitchell]
That’s right.
00:41:31 [Mitchell]
His is funny because

00:41:32 [Scarlet]
I don’t know.

00:41:33 [Mitchell]
It is weird, but I enjoy that part

00:41:35 [Scarlet]
of it.

00:41:35 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:41:36 [Mitchell]
So okay.
00:41:37 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:41:38 [Mitchell]
So I think that’s what maybe is the appeal of TikTok, maybe, to most people is.
00:41:43 [Mitchell]
It’s just more people, like

00:41:46 [Scarlet]
Doing fucking things like that.
00:41:47 [Scarlet]
With you and you’re like, oh, like like, today, I spent an hour on TikTok looking up people, like, who garden with, like, ground what’s good ground cover plants.

00:41:59 [Mitchell]
Like Was this because you wanna get rid of the grass?

00:42:02 [Scarlet]
No.
00:42:03 [Scarlet]
Just like the side here where, like, there’s no real division between the neighbors, whatever.
00:42:08 [Scarlet]
I’m like, why don’t we just put ground cover plants the way that some of the neighbors have over there?
00:42:13 [Scarlet]
They have some weird little leafy things on the ground.
00:42:16 [Scarlet]
So I was looking that up for an hour.

00:42:18 [Scarlet]
And there’s always somebody who has, like and they’ll show you pictures, and they’ll show you, you know, is this or do you live in the right zone for this?
00:42:25 [Scarlet]
And they get, like, pretty in-depth.
00:42:27 [Scarlet]
So, man, I I can go down TikTok rabbit holes for hours.
00:42:30 [Scarlet]
It’s actually pretty shameful.

00:42:32 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:42:32 [Mitchell]
There’s, well and you send me TikToks, and then there was a TikTok that came into my thing, which is funny because you sent me the one recently about how you how a man or your husband thinks he’s a ninja coming in your room.

00:42:45 [Scarlet]
Have we talked about your sleep routine?

00:42:47 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:42:47 [Mitchell]
We did last time.

00:42:48 [Scarlet]
Oh, okay.

00:42:48 [Mitchell]
Two weeks ago.
00:42:50 [Mitchell]
But I there was one that said how every, like, how every wife expects her husband or to react when she sends him a TikTok.
00:42:59 [Mitchell]
It was something like that.
00:43:01 [Mitchell]
And the guy’s like, oh, oh my or she’s watching TikToks.
00:43:04 [Mitchell]
I don’t remember, but he climbs into bed and he’s laughing and it was just like and I thought, yeah.

00:43:09 [Mitchell]
Because you’ll send me TikToks and nobody’s

00:43:10 [Scarlet]
still I’ll send you a TikTok and here’s how that goes.
00:43:13 [Scarlet]
I’m like, hey, did you see that TikTok I sent you and you were like TikTok?
00:43:16 [Scarlet]
TikTok.
00:43:17 [Scarlet]
Sorry.
00:43:19 [Scarlet]
Well, another sip of water here.

00:43:21 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:43:21 [Mitchell]
I am out of juices.
00:43:22 [Mitchell]
I didn’t plan very well.

00:43:25 [Scarlet]
And you’ll be like, which one?
00:43:26 [Scarlet]
You sent me five,

00:43:27 [Mitchell]
and I haven’t seen any of them.

00:43:29 [Scarlet]
Yeah.
00:43:30 [Scarlet]
And I’m like, okay.
00:43:31 [Scarlet]
Well, the watch the most recent one, and we’ll be in bed or something.
00:43:35 [Scarlet]
And you and I’ll I’ll, like, I’m like, I’ll just pull it up for you.
00:43:37 [Scarlet]
And you’re like, oh, I can’t.

00:43:39 [Scarlet]
I need to get my glasses on.

00:43:41 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:43:42 [Mitchell]
Well, if you want me to see it.

00:43:44 [Scarlet]
And I’m, like, what?
00:43:45 [Scarlet]
Can you just you don’t even have to see it crystal clear.
00:43:48 [Scarlet]
Just, like, look.
00:43:49 [Scarlet]
And you’re, like, I have to get or where are my glasses?
00:43:51 [Scarlet]
They’re downstairs.

00:43:53 [Mitchell]
And then

00:43:53 [Scarlet]
you have to, like, get out of bed all huffy, go get your glasses.
00:43:57 [Scarlet]
And I’m like, this is, like, this isn’t even gonna be funny anymore because now

00:44:01 [Mitchell]
it’s like It usually isn’t even funny.
00:44:03 [Mitchell]
I mean, almost usually.
00:44:06 [Mitchell]
Okay.
00:44:06 [Mitchell]
I love you so much.
00:44:10 [Mitchell]
You know, which by the way, Apple.

00:44:12 [Mitchell]
Tim Cook, if you’re listening, and I hope you are because this is on Apple Podcasts, by the way, and

00:44:18 [Scarlet]
and Spotify.

00:44:19 [Mitchell]
And Spotify.
00:44:20 [Mitchell]
But, Tim, if you’re listening, I would like a feature in my iPhone, which is this.
00:44:25 [Mitchell]
It’s smart enough.
00:44:26 [Mitchell]
It’s face you know, it recognized my face to open the phone.
00:44:29 [Mitchell]
Right?

00:44:29 [Mitchell]
Usually.

00:44:30 [Scarlet]
What if you could put in your prescription?
00:44:32 [Scarlet]
Well Somewhere.

00:44:33 [Mitchell]
Well, no.
00:44:33 [Mitchell]
Okay.
00:44:34 [Mitchell]
Okay.
00:44:35 [Mitchell]
But you have two eyes.
00:44:36 [Mitchell]
You know, we have one phone.

00:44:38 [Mitchell]
That’s not bad.
00:44:38 [Mitchell]
Wait.
00:44:39 [Mitchell]
But here’s what I’m saying.
00:44:40 [Mitchell]
Here’s what I here’s what I’m saying.

00:44:41 [Scarlet]
I’m not a glasses wearer.

00:44:42 [Mitchell]
Sometimes.
00:44:43 [Mitchell]
Like, sometimes in the morning, it doesn’t work because you’re like you know, it’s like you gotta inter but here’s what I want.
00:44:49 [Mitchell]
It knows that I wear glasses.
00:44:50 [Mitchell]
I and I could put it like, hey, I wear glasses.
00:44:52 [Mitchell]
And it knows when my glasses are off, it recognizes my face.

00:44:55 [Mitchell]
How about this?
00:44:56 [Mitchell]
When I don’t have glasses on, make the font, you know, like a 172.
00:45:02 [Mitchell]
Right?
00:45:02 [Mitchell]
So when I’m in bed, because it can when I’m in bed and, like, a kid texts me or something, or somebody texts me, and I’m in bed and there’s a middle of the night, I’m fumbling around looking for my phone.
00:45:11 [Mitchell]
I don’t have glasses on, and I’m like I’m like, I can’t Can

00:45:14 [Scarlet]
you turn up your own font size?

00:45:16 [Mitchell]
Well, I couldn’t see the menu to do that if I don’t have my glasses on.

00:45:20 [Scarlet]
But can you just do it?
00:45:22 [Scarlet]
No.
00:45:22 [Scarlet]
Here’s what I’m saying.

00:45:24 [Mitchell]
Tim, Apple, it knows that I’m not wearing my glasses because it facially recognizes me with and without glasses.
00:45:31 [Mitchell]
Same with the mask.
00:45:32 [Mitchell]
Oh, okay.
00:45:32 [Mitchell]
If it goes, hey, he’s not wearing glasses.
00:45:35 [Mitchell]
We’re gonna make everything super giant because, oh, it’s 12:01AM.

00:45:39 [Mitchell]
He does he’s in bed.
00:45:41 [Mitchell]
Why can’t they just make that feature Mhmm.
00:45:43 [Mitchell]
Simple, straightforward?
00:45:44 [Mitchell]
So then I’m not in bed like them, looking for my glasses.
00:45:48 [Mitchell]
And try to put glasses on when you’re wearing a CPAP and Earplugs.

00:45:54 [Mitchell]
And all the stuff.

00:45:54 [Scarlet]
On.

00:45:55 [Mitchell]
It’s like you’re like you’re just like

00:45:57 [Scarlet]
Eye mask.

00:45:58 [Mitchell]
All this so my son, I can read.

00:45:59 [Scarlet]
And then all

00:46:01 [Mitchell]
that so I can just read because what I’m thinking is like, dad, I’m arrested, I’m in jail, or dad, somebody died, and all of this is so I’m gonna be like, oh, oh, oh, dad, I’m home.
00:46:11 [Mitchell]
Like, okay.
00:46:13 [Mitchell]
I mean, I appreciate the text that he’s letting me know he’s home.
00:46:16 [Mitchell]
But when I wake up to this text and I can’t, I’m falling for glasses or I put the glasses on and here’s and they’re here’s with the seat bath, the glasses are like this.
00:46:24 [Mitchell]
So I’m just laying in bed and I’m trying to read the text.

00:46:27 [Mitchell]
Sometimes I’m trying to read on my watch, and that’s just why, like, Apple, just make it like Yeah.
00:46:31 [Mitchell]
Oh, he doesn’t have his glasses on.
00:46:33 [Mitchell]
Let’s make the the font super giant, you know.
00:46:36 [Mitchell]
Why is that so hard?
00:46:37 [Mitchell]
And it could be even smarter.

00:46:38 [Mitchell]
It could be like, we know that if it’s between 11PM and are those too tight on your head?

00:46:43 [Scarlet]
Little bit.

00:46:43 [Mitchell]
Okay.
00:46:44 [Mitchell]
Well, maybe

00:46:45 [Scarlet]
That’s fine.
00:46:45 [Scarlet]
I’m just giving

00:46:46 [Mitchell]
We guess you aired.
00:46:47 [Mitchell]
We’re almost to the end of this episode.
00:46:49 [Mitchell]
But Apple What

00:47:01 [Mitchell]
I’ve had lots of ideas, by the way.
00:47:03 [Mitchell]
Over the years, tons of Apple

00:47:05 [Scarlet]
They come out five years later.

00:47:06 [Mitchell]
And five years later, like, oh, they finally

Like, here’s do you ever here’s bathrooms and smartphones.
00:48:26 [Mitchell]
Like, what did people do before smartphones and using the bathroom?

00:48:29 [Mitchell]
Because I would

00:48:30 [Scarlet]
You wanna honestly know what I used to do?
00:48:32 [Scarlet]
Because I feel like reading and pooping really just go well hand in hand because you’re not thinking too much about it.

00:48:38 [Mitchell]
What?
00:48:39 [Mitchell]
With the reading?
00:48:40 [Mitchell]
I Oh, but you see

00:48:44 [Scarlet]

00:48:48 [Mitchell]
And you’re like Xantham, parabens?
00:48:51 [Mitchell]
No.

00:48:52 [Scarlet]
Just like the instructions and, like, what it’s supposed to do or how is this one better for you?
00:48:58 [Scarlet]
Or

00:48:59 [Mitchell]
Fair enough.

00:49:00 [Scarlet]
See I mean, also, like, remember when

00:49:08 [Mitchell]
They should just stay I

00:49:09 [Scarlet]

00:49:13 [Scarlet]
Like, you you can only imagine how many germs and But And I clean mine, you know, every other day or so.

00:49:20 [Mitchell]
But In our episode notes thing, I wrote bathrooms before smartphone.
00:49:24 [Mitchell]
I had wrote that while I was in the bathroom, but I had been in the bathroom and I have a smartphone in my pocket.
00:49:29 [Mitchell]
I was like, I’m not pulling my smartphone out.
00:49:31 [Mitchell]
I’m just gonna do my thing and be done, but things got a little bit grizzly, if you will.

00:49:38 [Scarlet]
What does that mean?

00:49:39 [Mitchell]
It just was things didn’t go as expected.
00:49:42 [Mitchell]
Because here’s me, or I know we’re not body talking, but I I just go do my thing, get done, I’m out of there.
00:49:48 [Mitchell]
Three minutes, like, I’m done.
00:49:50 [Mitchell]
I’m not camped out on a phone.
00:49:52 [Mitchell]
Congratulations.

00:49:53 [Mitchell]
Well, but what I’m saying is things didn’t go as planned.
00:49:57 [Mitchell]
And then I was sitting there, but I was challenging myself.
00:49:59 [Mitchell]
I’m not getting my phone out.
00:50:00 [Mitchell]
I’m just gonna well, that’s when I was sitting there going like, what am I gonna do?
00:50:06 [Mitchell]

00:50:08 [Mitchell]
My stomach was kinda nodding, you know.
00:50:09 [Mitchell]
I was kinda working through like, oh, I’m not feeling good.
00:50:12 [Mitchell]
This ain’t over.

00:50:12 [Scarlet]
Labor pains.
00:50:13 [Scarlet]
Yeah.

00:50:13 [Mitchell]

00:50:19 [Mitchell]
And I was like, man, just like, what do you do?
00:50:22 [Mitchell]
You just think of stuff and I and it was it’s so sad, a commentary on us as a culture, but I was just like, man.

00:50:27 [Mitchell]
And that’s when I was like, what did we do?
00:50:29 [Mitchell]
I was like, this is a good topic.
00:50:30 [Mitchell]
I pulled out my phone, I wrote it down, I was like, dang it.
00:50:33 [Mitchell]
I just blew my own challenge.

00:50:35 [Scarlet]
That’s how I, like, I used to use, like, the church bathroom, school bathrooms, or whatever.
00:50:40 [Scarlet]
And that’s how I figured out that the the oh my gosh.
00:50:45 [Scarlet]
What are they called?
00:50:45 [Scarlet]
The doors.
00:50:46 [Scarlet]
The doors to the stalls.

00:50:47 [Scarlet]
The stalls are called Heiney Hiders, which is actually pretty cute.

00:50:51 [Mitchell]
Oh, the brand?

00:50:52 [Scarlet]
Or Yeah.
00:50:52 [Scarlet]
Heiney Hiders.
00:50:53 [Scarlet]
Wow.

00:50:53 [Mitchell]
I didn’t know.
00:50:54 [Mitchell]
I mean, at least in your neck of the woods.
00:50:56 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:50:56 [Mitchell]
I mean so, yeah.
00:50:58 [Mitchell]
I guess you just sat there and thought.

00:51:01 [Scarlet]
And looked around Yeah.
00:51:02 [Scarlet]
And you’re like, oh, there’s a spider up there?

00:51:04 [Mitchell]
Okay.
00:51:05 [Mitchell]
Like Okay.
00:51:06 [Mitchell]
I mean, I I feel like there was graffiti on certain restrooms.

00:51:10 [Scarlet]
Yes.

00:51:11 [Mitchell]
I mean, you don’t wanna be in those restrooms, but

00:51:13 [Scarlet]
Yeah.
00:51:13 [Scarlet]
Like, you’re pooping and you’re like, you know what I wanna write?
00:51:16 [Scarlet]
Yeah.
00:51:17 [Scarlet]
F you, Karen.
00:51:19 [Scarlet]
Woah.

00:51:19 [Mitchell]
What?
00:51:20 [Mitchell]
This is a family friendly show.
00:51:22 [Mitchell]
I might have to bleep that.

00:51:24 [Scarlet]
Okay.

00:51:24 [Mitchell]
I’m just saying.
00:51:25 [Mitchell]
What about those

00:51:26 [Scarlet]
Are you serious?

00:51:27 [Mitchell]
I this is a clean rating.
00:51:28 [Mitchell]
I don’t know what

00:51:29 [Scarlet]
I said f.

00:51:31 [Mitchell]
You stop using the f word.

00:51:34 [Scarlet]
Oh my gosh.
00:51:35 [Scarlet]
I can’t with you.

00:51:36 [Mitchell]
Well, I’m saying is

00:51:38 [Scarlet]
Okay.

00:51:39 [Mitchell]
Bathroom What

00:51:39 [Scarlet]
was I gonna say?
00:51:40 [Scarlet]
Go

00:51:40 [Mitchell]
ahead.
00:51:40 [Mitchell]
Something about Karen and you’re just like people just like you just did your thing.

00:51:44 [Scarlet]
Because the other day

00:51:45 [Mitchell]
Okay.

00:51:45 [Scarlet]
I went to the bathroom at Fred Meyer.

00:51:47 [Mitchell]
Mhmm.

00:51:48 [Scarlet]
And usually when you go to a public restroom these days, either it’s like Costco and it’s super loud and you can’t hear between, like, the hand dryer that scares Max.
00:52:00 [Scarlet]
Like, you know, like, he refuses to use it because it scares him so bad.
00:52:04 [Scarlet]
I get it.
00:52:05 [Scarlet]
It scares me.
00:52:06 [Scarlet]
Or you are or the Fred Meyer bathroom, which is, like, five stalls and a very quiet bathroom.

00:52:13 [Scarlet]
And I walked into Fred Meyer, and I was like, oh, that coffee is kicking in.

00:52:16 [Mitchell]
Mhmm.

00:52:17 [Scarlet]
I’m just gonna go to the bathroom.
00:52:20 [Scarlet]
And then I go to a bathroom.
00:52:22 [Scarlet]
It was completely empty, and someone gets to the in the stall right next to me, like, seconds after I’d gone into the stall.
00:52:30 [Scarlet]
And then I’m like, well, I guess I’m not gonna and and they’re, like, noisy.
00:52:35 [Scarlet]
Oh.

00:52:35 [Scarlet]
Like, they sit down and they’re like, ouch.

00:52:42 [Mitchell]
Woah.
00:52:43 [Mitchell]
That that’s probably I would wanna just get out of

00:52:45 [Scarlet]
that in general.
00:52:46 [Scarlet]
Does this person have a UTI or is, like, needs a laxative?
00:52:51 [Scarlet]
Yeah.
00:52:51 [Scarlet]
Because I’m like, oh, what are you doing?
00:52:54 [Scarlet]
You don’t like go into a bathroom that some you know someone else is in because you walked in right behind me.

00:52:59 [Mitchell]
Or could have picked the stall a little further away.

00:53:01 [Scarlet]
Yeah.
00:53:02 [Scarlet]
And had your own kind of private little moment, but you chose to be right next to me.
00:53:07 [Scarlet]
And and, like, now you’re being very, noisy.
00:53:13 [Scarlet]
Yeah.
00:53:14 [Scarlet]
I don’t know.

00:53:14 [Scarlet]
It was just so awkward.

00:53:16 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:53:16 [Mitchell]
So I was like, why don’t the restrooms can

00:53:18 [Scarlet]
Leave and circle back later.

00:53:20 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:53:20 [Mitchell]
I don’t know if that we’ll just catch up with the coffee later.
00:53:23 [Mitchell]
You know?
00:53:24 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:53:24 [Mitchell]
So well, I am slightly, what’s the word?

00:53:29 [Mitchell]
Traumatized?
00:53:30 [Mitchell]
No.
00:53:30 [Mitchell]
That’s not the right word.
00:53:31 [Mitchell]
My my sister and I joke about it.
00:53:33 [Mitchell]
My father, would take the crossword puzzle into the restroom to when he would use the restroom in the

00:53:41 [Scarlet]
book of crossword?

00:53:42 [Mitchell]
No.
00:53:42 [Mitchell]
Just like the paper, the daily crossword in the paper and a pencil.
00:53:45 [Mitchell]
Uh-huh.
00:53:46 [Mitchell]
So, like, there’s kind of this, you know, like the lingering smell of of of poop and newsprint is kind of a combination that just triggers some things for me.
00:53:59 [Mitchell]
So newsprint Yeah.

00:54:00 [Mitchell]
When was

00:54:00 [Scarlet]
the last time you smelled that?

00:54:01 [Mitchell]
Why?
00:54:01 [Mitchell]
It’s been a while.
00:54:03 [Mitchell]
Maybe it might be, like, one of those things where now I’d be like, oh, this takes me back to my childhood.
00:54:08 [Mitchell]
Can we make a candle out of this?

00:54:11 [Scarlet]
Oh my god.

00:54:12 [Mitchell]
But, you know I

00:54:13 [Scarlet]
could have this could be a whole other episode of, like like, your your parents’ bathroom habits when you were growing up.
00:54:20 [Scarlet]
Because sometimes my dad wouldn’t flush.
00:54:24 [Scarlet]
What?
00:54:24 [Scarlet]
And that that’s a little barbaric.
00:54:26 [Scarlet]
Right?

00:54:26 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:54:26 [Mitchell]
That’s I mean, come on.
00:54:28 [Mitchell]
We all know the

00:54:28 [Scarlet]
I don’t know if he forgot.
00:54:31 [Scarlet]
And then we also lived in a house where, like, if you were getting into the shower right after, it would, like, cut off the hot water or something temporarily.
00:54:41 [Scarlet]
And I don’t know if it was that situation.
00:54:43 [Scarlet]
And then he he was like, well, I’m gonna flush after the shower and

00:54:46 [Mitchell]
Wow.

00:54:47 [Scarlet]
Whatever.
00:54:47 [Scarlet]
But yeah.
00:54:49 [Scarlet]
Okay.
00:54:49 [Scarlet]
Like

00:54:50 [Mitchell]
Wow.
00:54:50 [Mitchell]
Mark.

00:54:51 [Scarlet]
I don’t even know how Oh,

00:54:52 [Mitchell]
I didn’t mean to say his name.
00:54:53 [Mitchell]
I’m sorry.
00:54:55 [Mitchell]
Merv.

00:54:55 [Scarlet]
So what?
00:54:56 [Scarlet]
He doesn’t even know how to get to a podcast.

00:54:58 [Mitchell]
Does he know you does he know you’re a famous podcaster?

00:55:02 [Scarlet]
No.
00:55:02 [Scarlet]
Not?
00:55:03 [Scarlet]
He knows I’m a famous nurse.

00:55:04 [Mitchell]
Okay.
00:55:05 [Mitchell]
That’s good.
00:55:05 [Mitchell]
That’s good.
00:55:06 [Mitchell]
Well, okay.
00:55:07 [Mitchell]
So Well,

00:55:08 [Scarlet]
the next time we speaking of, maybe we can delve into a little more of our jobs, the things that we experience because

00:55:17 [Mitchell]
I had put on there, like, we could talk

00:55:20 [Scarlet]
about Types of patients.

00:55:21 [Mitchell]
Types of patients that we

00:55:22 [Scarlet]
We have us.

00:55:22 [Mitchell]
We are we wanna be and who we are, what we have.
00:55:25 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:55:25 [Mitchell]
So maybe some patient types.
00:55:26 [Mitchell]
A little nursing stuff bringing that in because we are nurses and we don’t I mean, I guess, we it’s not a Nurse Forward podcast, if you will.

00:55:35 [Scarlet]
No.
00:55:35 [Scarlet]
I feel like that’d be very limiting.

00:55:37 [Mitchell]
And there’s, like, plenty of nurse podcasts out there, and that’s not what we’re about.
00:55:41 [Mitchell]
You know, we’re just we happen to be nurses, but that’s also part of our Yeah.

00:55:44 [Scarlet]
It’s our full time job, but not our life.
00:55:47 [Scarlet]
Thank God.

00:55:48 [Mitchell]
I’m sorry.
00:55:48 [Mitchell]
I’m yawning.
00:55:50 [Mitchell]
I know.
00:55:51 [Mitchell]
So okay.
00:55:52 [Mitchell]
And I may have just tsked or whatever.

00:55:55 [Mitchell]
So I mean, we can I’m sorry.
00:55:58 [Mitchell]
I’m just realizing Where are you

00:55:59 [Scarlet]
looking at?

00:56:00 [Mitchell]
I just looked down the window and saw another bird No.

00:56:03 [Scarlet]
It’s not another.
00:56:04 [Scarlet]
It’s the one that was on the back porch, and I’m like, I’m gonna move it to

00:56:08 [Mitchell]
You’re just test driving these bird feeders wherever you can.
00:56:11 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:56:11 [Mitchell]
Now you’re planning on stealing my father’s double shepherd’s crook so you can hang two rider.

00:56:18 [Scarlet]
No.
00:56:18 [Scarlet]
One hummingbird feeder.

00:56:19 [Mitchell]
You could probably take his altogether.
00:56:21 [Mitchell]
You are we gonna steal it or swap it?

00:56:23 [Scarlet]
Swap it?

00:56:24 [Mitchell]
I think you could probably steal it.
00:56:25 [Mitchell]
There’s nothing on his.
00:56:26 [Mitchell]
It’d be funny to steal it and then see if next Sunday they say something like, you wouldn’t believe that somebody Oh my gosh.
00:56:33 [Mitchell]
We gotta do it.
00:56:34 [Mitchell]
And then, you know We gotta do it.

00:56:35 [Mitchell]
Stole this out of our yard, of our backyard.
00:56:37 [Mitchell]
I don’t know.
00:56:38 [Mitchell]
But And

00:56:38 [Scarlet]
then we’re like, oh.
00:56:39 [Scarlet]
And they’re like, yeah.
00:56:40 [Scarlet]
Who just walks right into your backyard and takes your

00:56:43 [Mitchell]
Your thing out of that corner right there that’s sitting there and full.
00:56:46 [Mitchell]
Yeah.

00:56:47 [Scarlet]
Me.
00:56:47 [Scarlet]
Because I’ve been looking at a thing being, like, I got uses for it.
00:56:50 [Scarlet]
Yeah.
00:56:51 [Scarlet]
Double shepherd’s crook.
00:56:52 [Scarlet]
I got a couple things I’d like to hang on that by my front window.

00:56:56 [Mitchell]
So, anyway okay.
00:56:57 [Mitchell]
So we got pop definitely tons of things more to talk about and, whatnot.
00:57:02 [Mitchell]
So, I mean, I can do the the little outro music or we can or you can just be like, hey, we’re gonna we never really got a solid out.

00:57:11 [Scarlet]

00:57:12 [Scarlet]
No.
00:57:13 [Scarlet]
Bam.
00:57:13 [Scarlet]
I do love this time of day in here, though, because the leaves make it feel, like, glittery.

00:57:17 [Mitchell]
Oh, with the lights.
00:57:19 [Mitchell]
Yeah.
00:57:19 [Mitchell]
I don’t know if you’ll catch that on the on the film on on the film version of this.

00:57:23 [Scarlet]
There’s a there’s a name for this when the sun’s coming through.
00:57:26 [Scarlet]
The

00:57:27 [Mitchell]
A shadow?

00:57:28 [Scarlet]
The trees, the leaves of the trees.
00:57:30 [Scarlet]
It’s like there’s a Japanese term for it.

00:57:32 [Mitchell]
Oh.
00:57:32 [Mitchell]
In in the theater, when we wanna recreate this look with a light and there’s a piece of metal generally that goes in, that could be other materials, into the light to recreate, it’s called a gobo.
00:57:45 [Mitchell]
Oh.
00:57:45 [Mitchell]
So if you wanna throw a gobo on, you might have, like, a leafy shadow or the window pane, all the kind of things they use a gobo for.
00:57:52 [Mitchell]
So Okay.

00:57:53 [Mitchell]
Well it’s a natural occurring, whatever that is.
00:57:56 [Mitchell]
So I guess until next time.

00:57:58 [Scarlet]
Until next time, we’re doing the most.

00:58:01 [Mitchell]
What?
00:58:01 [Mitchell]
Because if you because the reason here’s the problem here.
00:58:04 [Mitchell]
