Hop along to conversations with the Kaz sisters, Ashley and Angela. You'll find a mix of silly, serious and everything in between. 🦘
This is sisters Ashley and Angela, and this is sister Rooy. Welcome to episode 1 of Sister Rooy. My name is Angela, joined by my sister, Ashley. And, this is our podcast, guys. Yep, pretty much.
Speaker 1:We have a mix of, like, the intro or about of our podcast name says silly and serious. Probably more silly than serious, but, we'll see. We figured this first episode, though, will be an introduction to who we are, why we're doing this, and, we'll see what else comes out from our conversation.
Speaker 2:Expect a lot of laughter and a lot of confusion for who's talking. Yes. Because we sound similar because we're sisters.
Speaker 1:So we hear. But, yeah, sister, why do you why
Speaker 2:did we name our podcast Sister Rooy? Well, Sister Rooy comes from both of us calling each other Sister Rooy. Pretty much comes up in only phone calls, voicemails, and text messages. And as you could already tell, as Angela just called me sister, we mostly just call each other sister other than that. But, you know, podcasts couldn't just be named sister.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Too too way too common.
Speaker 2:Lots of sister podcast names. But Sister Rooy, that comes that comes from us. We grew up in a family full of weirdos who call each other names that are all original. Like, my brothers still call me butts. Classic.
Speaker 2:But, Angela, she never could do that, so we just call each other sister. Yep. And sister Rooy emerged.
Speaker 1:It sure did. It really goes well with some rhymes that we do. Maybe maybe you'll get a taste of that in some later episodes. We'll see.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, I'm sure I have some saved voicemails from you, for sure. And, you know, sometimes they're really excited and then sometimes they're really excited, and then sometimes they're really down in the dumps. So that's really great. You get to hear some inflection on on the sister Rui in different ways.
Speaker 1:Which, you know, that's, it's just appropriate. We we say it when we're super excited or when we're really disappointed. It's like, Sister Rooy.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah. I felt that one.
Speaker 1:Oh, so good. But, so that's that's a little bit about the name. I guess the why, earlier this year let's see, we're in 2024. Yep. Earlier in 2024, me, Angela, lost lost my job.
Speaker 1:So, yay, that was an interesting life event.
Speaker 2:Yeah. It happens to the to the best.
Speaker 1:It really does. But, a shocker for having been with a company for almost 13 years. I was just shy by maybe a week, but who's counting? -Yeah, girl. -Um, so anyway, on top of that, I had moved with my little family of, of 3 total.
Speaker 1:We'll get into that a little later, but
Speaker 2:you're not gonna include the dogs? It's 5. She has 2 dogs, guys.
Speaker 1:How could I forget the dogs?
Speaker 2:It happens when
Speaker 1:you have children. True. True. So, anyway, yes, last year in 2023, we moved, and, we actually live now 7 minutes away, if you get all green lights. -If you get all green lights.
Speaker 1:It's 10 minutes max. Yeah, so as a result, having lost a job with some time on my hands and living close to my sister who loved to talk and shoot the breeze all the time, even more now that we live closer, we figured, hey, podcast. Why not?
Speaker 2:Yeah. Why not do that when the kids are in bed instead of sleep? Who needs that? Yeah. The, midnight conversations.
Speaker 2:What's better than that? Sleep deprived? It's not quite midnight when we're recording this. So No. No.
Speaker 2:We're not that crazy.
Speaker 1:But by the time we go
Speaker 2:to bed, it's a little after. Yeah. Because we we can shoot the breeze about all sorts of things for long periods of time. It impresses even our husbands. So welcome to shooting the breeze with us if you stick around to just listen to our nonsense
Speaker 1:Yeah. And our laughter. Yeah. Glad you're here.
Speaker 2:Maybe you'll find us funny. If not, you'll find us funny that we find each other funny or just sad.
Speaker 1:So could be both. So, sister, Ashley, why don't you tell us about
Speaker 2:Oh, my gosh. We cannot do sister Ashley. It's for Angela. That sounds like like we're nuns. It totally does.
Speaker 1:So strange. But, you know, to to help the audience know which one is talking about their life, Ashley is going to give you a quick rundown of her little family and who she is. Oh, yeah. Sure.
Speaker 2:So, I have a husband. His name's Justin. What up, dude?
Speaker 1:Who just celebrated their 9 year anniversary?
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah. 9 years wedding wedding anniversary. In February, we'll be together for 15 years total, which is crazy. Did I do that math right?
Speaker 1:I don't know. A decade and a half.
Speaker 2:That can't be right, guys.
Speaker 1:Also, Ashley. Not great at math?
Speaker 2:What am I thinking of?
Speaker 1:I don't know why you have 15 years, but
Speaker 2:9 years marriage 25 minuteus 11 is 13 years.
Speaker 1:I don't know where the 25 is
Speaker 2:coming in. 20 25 next year Oh. Minus 11 is 3rd is 14. My gosh. Well, to really put this into perspective, I'm also pregnant, so my pregnancy brain is pretty terrible.
Speaker 2:I, anyway, also have a little boy who is 3 years old.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah. Just had a birthday.
Speaker 2:Yes. We just celebrated all dino themed and was dinosaur'd up, and, he has a little sibling on the way. So pregnancy brain right now is real because I can't do math. So, yes, been with my husband for 9 years, marriage wise, and then a little little guy is 3 with another on the way. So that is me and my family.
Speaker 2:We have 3 cats. They Total cat lady. Yeah. If I didn't have kids, I would definitely be considered a cat lady because I have 3 cats, including a painting. What kind of painting?
Speaker 2:Is that an oil painting?
Speaker 1:It's a weird painting. I don't know.
Speaker 2:It's a pretty a weird painting. It's a pretty badass painting. Okay. It's cool, creepy, and fun all at the same time. Anyway, they're portraits of the cats in human bodies, and it's huge, and it's in our staircase.
Speaker 2:So, we are definitely cat people. But, you know, love them to death, and once they die, we'll probably never get anymore. We'll see. I give that 2 year stop. They're high maintenance for being cats.
Speaker 2:One cat has anxiety. 1 cat is just loud all the time, meowing in the middle of the night for no reason, even though he has food, water, and litter. He's a lion.
Speaker 1:He's a
Speaker 2:big baby.
Speaker 1:He's a big baby in a lion's body.
Speaker 2:Yeah. He is a lion. He's huge. And, like, not even fat, just big. And then we have another cat who's actually fine.
Speaker 2:She's just kinda mean unless she is making the initiative. But anyway, you probably will hear some stories about my cats just like you'll hear some stories about Angela's dogs. Oh, yes.
Speaker 1:Yes. We love the fur babies. Yes. We really do.
Speaker 2:So much so that Angela has a side business of doing animal watching and walking and house sitting and all those things too, which you might hear some stories about that later on too.
Speaker 1:Oh, there will be stories, for sure. But now, a few tidbits of my sister, Ashley, that she did not mention. They she's a, like, computer gaming nerd. I play video games. Yes.
Speaker 1:She fostered for a few years with her husband.
Speaker 2:Yes. We fostered children for 4 years because there's a lot of fosters out there with, pets as well, but we fostered children from pretty much during the pandemic. So 2020 to 2024. And she's loving the stay at home mom life. Yeah.
Speaker 2:I have worked so I worked with Marriott in Hotels and Hospitality over 10 years leading into the pandemic. And then, you know, once the pandemic hit, no one really traveled. And so I took that opportunity to exit, and we decided to foster kids. And then I was a stay at home mom to just treat that because I'd never been a mom before. And I went to being a mom of 2 teenage boys, So that was a crazy story in itself, but been a stay at home mom ever since.
Speaker 1:Yep. So that's that's just a glimpse of Ashley. She's 3 years younger than I am and the youngest in our family of 4 kids.
Speaker 2:We have, 2 older brothers. As I mentioned previously, they they call me butts still because that's my name in the family.
Speaker 1:Yep. Yep. So I guess I'll talk a smidge about me.
Speaker 2:Yeah. You already mentioned you have
Speaker 1:me know what I forget.
Speaker 2:Yeah. You already mentioned you have a husband.
Speaker 1:Yes. Yes. So
Speaker 2:I have 2 dogs.
Speaker 1:Yes. I am married, go away almost to 5 years. I'm in my gosh. Seems so fast. No.
Speaker 1:I was married in 2020. Yeah.
Speaker 2:It's not as fun. Not as easy as it looks over there,
Speaker 1:yeah. Fun fact, I'm also pregnant. So you got 2 sisters here who are going to be chit chatting with you in their final and second and final trimester of their pregnancies. So we'll see what happens because, pregnancy brain is real for those of you who
Speaker 2:Are you already in your 3rd trimester?
Speaker 1:No. But I said in our second and third trimester.
Speaker 2:But you're in your second trimester.
Speaker 1:Yeah. I'm 20 weeks right now. Anyhoo. I missed something there. So, yeah, anyhoo, married for at least 4 years, going on 5.
Speaker 1:Known my husband for at least 5 years, But we have a 20 months year old daughter who's just a lovely little personality. She eats just like her mom. They eat
Speaker 2:everything. Anything and everything. As long as it is available and consumable, they will do it. Seriously, is there something that you won't eat? What what's a food you don't like?
Speaker 1:I don't you know, that's a great question because the biggest thing is I will try anything. I will definitely tell you if I don't like something, the taste of, but I'll try it.
Speaker 2:Do you like beets? I mean, they've grown
Speaker 1:on especially because they're good for you. Good for you. I can talk cholesterol. I can talk myself into anything to liking all the foods. But regardless, got a 20 month
Speaker 2:year old, and, yep, she has your appetite.
Speaker 1:Yes. She has her mom's appetite, which is great. And, yeah. Got another one on the way. We will between my sister and I, we're both due very early in 2025, so we'll we'll see how that all plays out.
Speaker 2:Yes. But you are 20 weeks, and I didn't say I'm 16 weeks. So you are ahead of
Speaker 1:Ahead of me slightly. Yes. Slightly. Not planned, guys. Not planned.
Speaker 1:It was just like, wow. We are
Speaker 2:Not planned that they were to be that we were both to be pregnant at the same time. Yeah. The pregnancies were planned. Yes. Correct.
Speaker 1:Very good add on. Way to keep me honest there. So like I said, we just recently moved to Florida, wanted to be closer to family, and at the time I could work from home from anywhere. This was all even before COVID time, and so we were like, Okay, great. Let's move.
Speaker 1:Jake, my husband, could also, work from home, and it was still post COVID conditions. And, so here we are, super close to my sister, closer to family, with our parents down in Florida, as well as one of our older brothers. The oldest brother is in Illinois
Speaker 2:Which is where we grew up.
Speaker 1:Yeah. Where we grew up, in the Chicago suburbs. So, what else about me? Like I said
Speaker 2:You lived in Michigan for forever.
Speaker 1:Yes. Michigan was where I went to school and then ended up moving and buying a place out in the Detroit suburbs, I guess. Yeah. And, eventually, once I met Jake, was like, I gotta get out of here. I was already planning to be leaving Michigan.
Speaker 1:And,
Speaker 2:Luckily, he was on board.
Speaker 1:Yes. I
Speaker 2:mean Not not an original Michigander himself.
Speaker 1:No. He was not. Thank goodness. Because let me tell you, guys, the cold winters and the the lack of sunshine. Even compared to living in Illinois, there was sunshine in the winter months.
Speaker 1:I mean, come on. It just made a difference.
Speaker 2:It probably made a difference because we were younger and growing up and had each other.
Speaker 1:I suppose. No. There were moments when I would come home on a winter break from college, and I'd be walking in the in the snow, and
Speaker 2:I'd be
Speaker 1:like, there's actually sunshine out. I would've thought.
Speaker 2:That is true, I guess.
Speaker 1:So thank goodness my husband was on board to be like, yes. Peace out, Michigan. Lovely people in Michigan, though. Shout out to any Michigan family. But we then made our way to Alabama.
Speaker 1:I told Jake to get a job anywhere with more sunshine and ideally south south of Michigan.
Speaker 2:Close to Arizona, but Alabama was one step closer to Florida, guys.
Speaker 1:Yep. But we enjoyed our time in Alabama and just very crazily found a house that checked off literally every box for us close to family in Florida. So here we are down down in Florida.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So our parents live an hour away along with our brother, but they are not next to each other. But they're also, like, 20 minutes from each other maybe. So we are a lot closer. So it's nice that we're all around.
Speaker 2:And then we all have babies that are growing up together, so the cousins will get to see each other, which is fun.
Speaker 1:Good old cousins. Yep. But other just little random fun facts about me, I guess, is I love ultimate frisbee. Thanks to my husband, I discovered my passion of running after plastic.
Speaker 2:It's, like, understatement because she lives for ultimate. She that's, like, the only thing she's sad about that our little Florida town doesn't have really established.
Speaker 1:So true. It's so true. But outside of that, totally just into health and wellness, I guess, because that's what I worked in the corporate world for so long. And, like my sister said, love side hustles of some sort where, right now, love dog watching. Cat watching too.
Speaker 1:Dropping on cats. Started off with Rover, and we just became successful enough to have our own little personal page
Speaker 2:on on good old Facebook. But even in Alabama, she washed after like donkeys.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah. And goats.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's a story, guys.
Speaker 1:Time for another episode. That's me in a nutshell, Angela. I think
Speaker 2:that's really both of us in a nutshell. I mean, I didn't really go into hobbies, but I enjoy doing woodworking stuff. I'll, like, sand sand down tables and refinish them. If I find a good deal at Goodwill or something or on the side of the street, I found a rocking chair down the street.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:It was gonna be in the trash, and I took that sucker in and I sanded it down, and now it's blue, and it's in my living room.
Speaker 1:Yeah. It looks good. She's good at upcycling. When she puts in the time and effort, she's like, it looks great.
Speaker 2:Yeah. I don't really have as much time to do it running after a 3 year old, but who doesn't nap? But, you know, when he's in school, maybe I'll get back into it a little more. I really want to just actually do your dining room table. That thing drives me nuts.
Speaker 1:You know, I did talk to Jake, though, about instead of we've been waiting on insulating our shed Shed. In our backyard. A great perk of one of the bucket list items we loved about this house is it came with this shed that he could also do woodworking, and laser engraving stuff. So, anyway, before he puts some of these tools in this shed, he wanted to insulate it because Florida summers are a bit hot. Very hot.
Speaker 1:And at the time, we did not have a working little window AC unit, and on top of the summer, heat is just it didn't happen. Plus me losing my job. We weren't about to just spend a bunch of unnecessary money.
Speaker 2:Wasn't a priority anymore.
Speaker 1:Yeah. Wasn't a huge priority. But now we've, I've talked to him about using the garage. It's like, you know, what's stopping you just from putting some of those things in the garage?
Speaker 2:Is it because I said, you know, I just do it in my garage? Yep. Pretty much. I was like, oh, genius. So simple.
Speaker 2:Even at all, shut the garage to not get the sand all over or not the sand. Sand. I mean, the sanding the the dust all over the cars and stuff, and I'll just run a cable and I'll do it in the yard in the yard or on the driveway if it's really nice out, especially because my house shades that area during the time of day that I do it. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2:But, guys, her dining room table, you can feel you can put your fingernails, like, in the grain
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Between the grain. It just it really needs to be sanded down, and it would just and then there's these little nubs that just need to be leveled down.
Speaker 1:I really don't understand who put that table together, why they it's a design thing, but it's not practical.
Speaker 2:It's just things get stuck in
Speaker 1:the cracks, Food. It's true. We haven't had we don't do a ton of family meals there because I don't want my daughter to just make a mess and I have to clean the grass.
Speaker 2:Just like mashed potatoes in between your crepes. That would really smooth it out.
Speaker 1:Yeah. No. I don't want, old crusted mashed potatoes
Speaker 2:in those cracks. Anyway, that's what I would really just
Speaker 1:like to do
Speaker 2:with my time right now is sand that table.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So
Speaker 2:you know you know where to find me.
Speaker 1:Yeah. I I do.
Speaker 2:If Jake never gets to it. Yeah.
Speaker 1:I do have a list of things for him to do. He's working on it. Excellent. Anyway, let's see. What other hobbies do
Speaker 2:I have? I like to play pickleball, but when I'm pregnant, it's a little harder for me just, like, breathing this time around. In the 2nd trimester, I'm already struggling. So we'll see how that goes if I go on Friday because we might be playing pickleball on Friday.
Speaker 1:Oh, yes. Yes. That is one thing that I am currently doing because of having moved to the area. It took us a year after moving with a child. Don't recommend when the child is, you know, 3 months old and you buy a house and move multi states over, but that's what we did.
Speaker 1:You survived. We survived, but it took a bit of settling, I would say. And we finally got to a point where Jake and I were saying, we really need to make friends our age, and just hang out with some people outside of my sister as much as I love her.
Speaker 2:Yeah. 10 minutes away. We see each other and talk all the time.
Speaker 1:Yeah. I think this week we saw each other the most and still will in probably the shortest amount of time since moving here because of all these activities. There's no way. I don't know. Before we get there, let me just give you some background.
Speaker 1:So we started a group literally just for our town to meet people our age. We're in our thirties, my husband and I. 35 people. And we start off a group very similar to Meetup, if you've heard of the app, but we decided to do this all on Facebook because it's free compared to Meetup. And having success with a group similar to it in Michigan and meeting a core group of friends there and then doing the same exact thing when we moved to Alabama, Jake and I said, okay, we're gonna do this finally for Florida, and this group of people made new friends.
Speaker 1:So we start this group less than 2 months ago, and we are super motivated to create all of these events to meet people. But it's a lot of work on me and Jake. Like, we literally have to plan out our old calendars and try and find activities that these random strangers who don't know us yet might be interested in joining. So, and when we compare it to when we did this in 2020 when we moved to Alabama, so far it's been a success because we're not dealing with COVID, the true post COVID aftermath where people were afraid of seeing each other, really, unless we were all outside hiking in super breathable outdoor air. But anyway, we've had some success, but it's been just comedy shows or pickleball is one of the things that's upcoming.
Speaker 1:And just literally for the last 2 weeks and for the next 2 weeks, we've got things that are going on. And, luckily my sister here supports it, so she's trying to support it.
Speaker 2:I've used so I have lived in Florida, since 2010. So wow. 2010, so 14 years. 2010? That's when I graduated college.
Speaker 2:That's when I graduated high school. So you start Wow.
Speaker 1:Just hadn't done Thought of that math
Speaker 2:a little bit? Yeah. 4 so 14 years, I've been in Florida, and so I have friends here. But they are
Speaker 1:Just slowly make friends.
Speaker 2:My all
Speaker 1:that time.
Speaker 2:But, also, I have my husband, Justin. He is born and raised not in the town that we are currently in, but in Florida. So he is truly Floridian and also has some friends that are childhood friends that are friends that are still around that have become my friends too. So I do have friends, but I will support you making your own friends. And then, you know, I might not hang out with you and your friends.
Speaker 1:You know, probably for the best.
Speaker 2:We gotta get a break in there some sometime between us, but then we still come back and create a podcast together. So you know? I know. Yeah.
Speaker 1:But I was just thinking that we've seen each other so much. Like, first, I babysat for you on Thursday. Yes. Then babysat again Friday. And and still chatted with you when you came home from your anniversary date night.
Speaker 1:And then Yeah. We
Speaker 2:did not talk. It's just our problem, which hence the podcast.
Speaker 1:Then Saturday, had birthday party. Yep. So I'm like, okay. Sunday, got a break. Right?
Speaker 1:I didn't see you yesterday, did I?
Speaker 2:Did we even talk? I think I I think you sent one message about chocolate covered pretzels.
Speaker 1:And I said I forgot to take any pictures at your birthday party for me.
Speaker 2:Yep. Pretty much.
Speaker 1:So that was yeah. That was an oops. So, we still talked but did not see each other, so, okay, one day. And then Monday, today, we have our podcast recording. So, obviously seeing each other right now.
Speaker 1:Then tomorrow, Tuesday, we get our free Pizza Hut pizza, guys.
Speaker 2:We ordered in the app with our rewards membership whatever for it 10 days ago, and yeah, it's good for like 15 days. So I was like, Justin's not gonna be home. I'm gonna get pizza that he doesn't like. Angela likes Pizza Hut because this is just what we grew up on in Illinois. And so we are getting our lovely Pizza Hut pizza.
Speaker 2:What's Jake doing? He doesn't like Pizza Hut.
Speaker 1:He's making his favorite pork, Camille.
Speaker 2:Oh, well, we had pork today.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So what's Wednesday? So that's Tuesday. Wednesday, we don't see each other. And there is there there's basically a break until maybe Friday if you play pickleball.
Speaker 1:And then Saturday. And then Saturday. We do game night.
Speaker 2:Which brings me into, I can't believe we haven't even said it yet, but we are also obsessed with our husbands to do game nights, board games. We try to do that pretty regularly before the birthday parties and social group gatherings that we've been going to and hosting. We've been doing family weekly night dinners slash game nights that we we like to do a lot of legacy games and it all started with, unfortunately for the name of it, but it all started with Pandemic. If you have not played this board game, it is a collaborative board game and it changes every single time and it just makes it so fun. We're obsessed and there are so many different Variants.
Speaker 2:Of course, variants. I know. Variants of the pandemic. No. It's not the word I'm looking for, but I know.
Speaker 1:I can't think of it right now either.
Speaker 2:Expansions? Maybe. Perhaps, like, some of them have expansions too. But for those of you who do not know what a legacy game is, it's a game that literally the rules change as you go, as you make decisions in the game, and then those are permanent throughout the rest of the game. So, like, characters die, instructions change, you rip things up, you make permanent changes to the boards, and it makes it a lot of fun.
Speaker 2:It's fantastic.
Speaker 1:I don't know what else to say.
Speaker 2:And we're just all obsessed, but, there are just base regular pandemic games that are not legacy that you should definitely start at.
Speaker 1:And it's just ironic. It was it was a trip to Florida that my husband and I took at some point. I must have been pregnant, I think.
Speaker 2:I don't think so because we had the boys for fostering. Maybe.
Speaker 1:Either way, I think we were just We discovered it after the pandemic, though.
Speaker 2:I think we were watching the dogs because they played it while we staked the back fence in my backyard to make sure that Stella wouldn't escape. I had Ace, for sure.
Speaker 1:Are Are you sure it wasn't during her honeymoon then, that we were about to drop off dogs? Maybe it was.
Speaker 2:When was your honeymoon?
Speaker 1:I just because I just don't remember having Emma and going through this. But it was a true bonding moment for our husbands where they just, like, super connected on this game This boy game. That they first broke out. I don't know if it was Justin who Probably. Was saying he hadn't played it yet and wanted to check it out or what, but they both had to fumble their way through the instructions, and they tried to play a mini game together.
Speaker 2:And they completely played it wrong.
Speaker 1:Yeah. And then post that game, they said, oh my gosh, we messed up. But told us, me and Ashley, that we would love the game.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So I think after all kids went to bed, because at that point, I had Ace as a as a baby and then I had 2 of these teen boys for fostering, they were our first placements. And so once everybody went to bed, I think we sat down at the table and learned this game and literally just became obsessed from that point on.
Speaker 1:And ever since, I couldn't tell you how many games we've played of it because of
Speaker 2:the We've made 2 weeks for this game to see each other before they moved to Florida. So good. The most nerdy thing we've probably ever done.
Speaker 1:That is that is probably the nerdiest thing we do together. Play group.
Speaker 2:Well, we grew up and did play some PC games together. We did? We played Nancy Drew.
Speaker 1:Yes. Nancy Drew.
Speaker 2:I still play Nancy Drew.
Speaker 1:Drew. Ashley has probably played no. You have played all of the Nancy Drew original She Interactive Her. Her Interactive
Speaker 2:games. I still play them. One was just at least, like, this year, and it was fantastic.
Speaker 1:I just remember you told me to try out you were getting rid of this one, Nancy Drew game. And it was one where in the very beginning, the introduction, you told me I needed to put it into my computer and make sure all of the lights were off. And you know
Speaker 2:what I'm so bummed about? You missed the scare?
Speaker 1:I no. I couldn't do it because my Mac was going on the fritz, and I couldn't play it. So anyway, I never have experienced it, but it is still a memory ingrained in me where you're like, you have to do this. Because I like freaking myself out sometimes.
Speaker 2:Yeah. It's definitely a jump scare. I know exactly which one you're talking about. Couldn't tell you the name of it. I'd have to look it up, but definitely know.
Speaker 1:For some reason, I think it was the number 13, whichever one that was. I don't know. Some haunted house thing.
Speaker 2:No. Castle. I don't think it I think it was a fashion one. Who knows? Anyway, one of our other PC games that we really loved called Twinsons Odyssey.
Speaker 2:Ugh. Actually is it actually called Twinsons Odyssey? It's something little big adventure or something.
Speaker 1:I think that's more of the tagline after it.
Speaker 2:Well, anyway, my husband, Justin, just told me that they are remastering the game and rereleasing it, and I sent this to Angela last week, and we might have to Not too long ago. We might have to buy that and sit down and try to play it together just for nostalgia reasons.
Speaker 1:Oh, so good. Yeah. I'm looking up what I don't think we
Speaker 2:ever beat it because it always crashed on our Windows 95.
Speaker 1:There was always a glitch. There was it always stopped.
Speaker 2:And they tried to fly a dragon or something.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they call it Little Big Adventure Twinsen's Quest. This one. But in the original, it must have been
Speaker 2:Twinsen's Odyssey.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Twinsen's Odyssey. A slight name change.
Speaker 2:But it definitely says a remastered version of that game.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because that the original game was released in 1994. I would have been 5.
Speaker 2:I would have been 2.
Speaker 1:So, yeah, we discovered it a few years after that. I don't
Speaker 2:even know how we discovered that.
Speaker 1:I don't know either. This is just a one of those CD games we played.
Speaker 2:We played Sims together. I always wanted to cheat and Angela made me go about it the hard way as life always is. And we had to earn our money and make our upgrades as we played the game. I don't know how
Speaker 1:or why, but I I hate cheating in a game.
Speaker 2:I don't know if I would do it now.
Speaker 1:I guess I for some I guess for Sims, I didn't truly understand the point. Like, it wasn't like you were on quests or anything. You just had to, like, keep things alive. Yeah.
Speaker 2:You had to keep a human alive. I guess. And relationships. You're, like, there was multiple things I had to do. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Okay. Okay. But Complete. I don't know.
Speaker 1:Yeah. All that to say, I guess in our conversations, you'll probably hear some nineties references for sure. We are definitely millennials. Yes. We I I feel grateful for the fact that we truly lived through seeing all of this technology and how we
Speaker 2:I don't even know. Evolved.
Speaker 1:Yeah. Grew up with our Walkmans, cassette tapes, listening to Wilson Phillips.
Speaker 2:Oh, yes.
Speaker 1:So I guess I don't know. This might be a good place
Speaker 2:to stop.
Speaker 1:And, next time on an episode, maybe we'll cover life being pregnant. Who knows?
Speaker 2:Yeah, we have a lot of topics. It can be random. Might be able to tell that we just sometimes go off on tangents. Tangents. So try to keep up.
Speaker 1:Like, when I tell my sister that I'm having a boy. Are you actually?
Speaker 2:Yeah. No freaking way.
Speaker 1:Are you kidding me right now? No. Oh my gosh. I'm gonna cry. Why are you gonna cry?
Speaker 1:Because I printed. Let me tell you. A total
Speaker 2:shocker. How do you did you have the appointment today?
Speaker 1:I did. I was being really vague in all of our conversations of when our Just do it. Unannounced the appointment. Appointment is gonna be. Oh my gosh, your dream was right.
Speaker 1:So true, but that So, I'll say one last thing. Last night, also had a dream. Guys, just to preface, I had a dream maybe a week, 2 weeks ago, clear as day in my ultrasound, in my dream, was totally having a boy. Then, last night, had a dream, totally having a girl. So I go into this anatomy appointment thinking, it truly is a 5050.
Speaker 1:Don't know what's gonna happen. And then, yeah, the tech mixture, Uber sure that we want to know, and she, it took a little bit to position the baby and then, asks, so do you guys have any guesses?
Speaker 2:Did you, like, guesses looking at the ultrasound
Speaker 1:or -Yeah, we're looking the whole time, and I'm like, I don't know, and then she's like, there were some parts where I was like, I don't know, and then Jake was also distracting Emma at one point, so he wasn't completely glued in on the screen right when she was sharing or showing what we would have probably been seeing, and then was just like, what do you what do you think it is? And Jake looks at it. He's like, oh, I think it's a girl. And for me, I'm like, I think I saw something. But I didn't say, and she's like, I think it's gonna be a boy.
Speaker 1:And she's like, these are the parts right here. And after the after the whole appointment, we're driving home, and Jake was telling me, yeah, I was looking at a completely different part of the picture when she first asked him the question. So I knew he was slightly distracted, but regardless, he would I mean, we both thought we were gonna have a girl, so we were just like, wow.
Speaker 2:And literally before we started recording, because I too am having a boy, but she already knew this prerecording this episode. So I will have 2 boys, and you will have a boy and a girl. But literally before we started recording this episode, I was like, you need to have a girl because our family has so many boys, and I'm I'm really happy at the point. I'm I'm happy either way, but I'm
Speaker 1:shooketh. I know. I had to drop it on a cliffhanger. Not really cliffhanger, though. Just more like a truth bomb.
Speaker 1:Yeah. Truth bomb.
Speaker 2:Cliffhanger's wrong word.
Speaker 1:So yeah. May maybe we'll talk about all the fun time that we're having being pregnant.
Speaker 2:This kinda sucks. We're gonna have to we're gonna have to share all the things now. What are
Speaker 1:you gonna do with all the girl stuff? TBD. We'll see. I don't
Speaker 2:know. I'm I'm gonna have a bigger baby than you. I was telling Justin not as a contest. I was telling Justin the other day that you like, Emma was small.
Speaker 1:She was
Speaker 2:She's tiny.
Speaker 1:£5 or £6. Yeah. She was £5 something.
Speaker 2:She wasn't a preemie, but she was small.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And my boy was £8. So I just I'm going to have a bigger baby than you, and it's not a competition. If anything, I'm kinda sad about it because I know they have it naturally. So good luck to me again. But You never know.
Speaker 2:I definitely don't wanna have a c section.
Speaker 1:Well, no. I'm just saying you never know how big the baby will be.
Speaker 2:I know, but I feel like I'm already huge this time around, and I'm only 16 weeks at this point.
Speaker 1:She is not huge, guys. You just pop a lot faster, and boy, were we not expecting the poppin'. So, a boy. A boy. Well, on that note, we'll continue maybe some more of, our pregnancy talk, but really wanna thank you guys for listening and making it through, if you you made it all the way through to the end of this first episode.
Speaker 1:But if you enjoyed listening to our conversation, as you can see, it's, it's a mix of some random. Maybe we'll have some some key talking points that we wanna try to get through. Episodes. Future episodes. Yeah.
Speaker 2:To open it up, show you guys a little bit of our personalities, and tell you a little bit about us if you didn't grow up with us. And we will probably go back further into our childhood memories another episode too. Oh, yeah. It'll be
