0:32

Things are about to get

0:35

intense. I mean, Brie and

0:37

I are talking like that intense moment

0:39

when the room stops, maybe

0:41

time stops, when everything

0:44

might be going around you, but you're looking

0:46

at that one person dead

0:48

in the eyes, or a maple

0:50

donut, and in our eyes.

0:53

Usually, I'm giving that stare down

0:55

when I want to ask my

0:58

husband for his credit card so

1:00

I can go shopping. Ooh, that

1:02

is the intense that I like.

1:05

Intense heat, lasting plump. From the

1:07

hot new lifter plump from Maybelline,

1:23

1:28

flag on my sizzling lips. Oh,

1:30

1:32

take that heat? Find your shade

1:42

for a limited time. But

1:47

at first he was like, I don't want you as my

1:49

coach. And I was like, what was that, buddy?

1:52

And he goes, I don't want you guys as

1:54

my coaches. Yeah, legit. This

1:57

is the Nicki and Breeze.

2:01

All right, everyone. Welcome back to

2:03

another episode of the Nicki and

2:05

Bri show. And yes, Bri

2:08

and I are attempting to put on cowgirl hats

2:10

over our headphones and it just doesn't work out,

2:12

but we got some celebrating to do today, y'all.

2:15

We do. We do. So Bri and

2:18

I, for one, are

2:20

now officially wine producers.

2:23

So that

2:25

means Chairs Bonita Bonita is

2:28

officially open. It's officially ready

2:31

to take over the world.

2:33

That's right. Doors are open.

2:35

So look out on

2:37

social media for the new

2:39

link for you to make your appointments

2:42

at our tasting. Yes.

2:44

And just so much more to come from

2:46

Bonita Bonita. Oh, a lot. A lot. We've

2:48

been working on a line and more, lots

2:51

of stuff. And the reason why Bri and

2:53

I looks

2:55

like cowgirls is because

2:57

this Friday, Bonita Bonita is officially

3:00

going to be entering their Vineyard

3:02

Cowgirl era. Yeah. And

3:04

what do you mean by that? And

3:07

why? And why you ask? Well,

3:09

we got Coachella this Friday kicking off.

3:11

We got two weekends at Coachella. We

3:13

go into stagecoach, then it's going to

3:15

be Bottle Rock. And you

3:18

know, with just country

3:20

music just taking over. I

3:22

mean, we got Beyonce in the house

3:24

now doing it and Post Malone. Bri

3:27

and I were like, you know what? We are

3:29

true, true country women

3:32

deep down raised in it, but it's

3:34

festival season and we all like to get our

3:37

cowgirl on. There's nothing better than doing it out

3:39

here in the Vineyards. So is that kind of

3:41

the theme at Coachella? Because usually Coachella is

3:43

very boho festival

3:46

vibe. Well, it's now become

3:48

very much both, like the

3:50

necklace you're rocking. This isn't like cowgirl.

3:52

This is like, oh, no, but it's from the same site

3:55

of all this. Oh, really? Yeah. This

3:57

is Nicole's. Yeah, we wanted

3:59

to. to play dress up for a second.

4:01

I was super stoked, but we're popping

4:03

open our brand new chardonnay. So for our

4:05

wine club members, you're going to be

4:08

getting this. This is what we just bottled up and

4:10

we brought our fam with us as

4:12

we did it. It's so good. So, so

4:15

good. So that's coming out to our wine club

4:17

members, but just keep looking

4:19

on the website because now you can

4:22

come drink with us officially at our

4:24

Speak Easy tasting room. It's going

4:26

to be a lot of fun. And the social

4:28

media is about to get a lot of fun. Brie

4:31

and I have been working really hard with Claire and

4:33

Emily on what the IG

4:35

is about to look like. It's about to get

4:37

very festival and very fun. A lot of

4:39

cowgirl cosplaying. You know, we just

4:41

went into my barmageddon cuss or closet.

4:43

I have like a section of all

4:45

barmageddon stuff that I either

4:47

wore or was going to wear or may wear in

4:50

the future. And so we had a lot of

4:52

fun. We had a lot of fun. Right. Wasn't it fun? We

4:54

still got a lot more to do. Oh, gosh.

4:57

I can't even imagine how much more. We

4:59

were talking about those wine Wednesdays and those

5:01

reels. Oh, that. Yes. Those. Yes. But Brie,

5:04

how amazing does it feel? You've been

5:06

in the wine industry for eight years and

5:08

now you are officially a wine

5:10

producer. Officially. Yeah. I mean, it feels

5:13

incredible. It's like one of those things

5:15

where you set your goals,

5:17

you see, okay, it's going to take this

5:19

many years to get to it and you

5:21

plan it out and then you go through a

5:23

lot of obstacles. Years get added. You

5:26

hear the word no and then maybe this

5:28

and then this be and that. So sometimes

5:30

it feels like it's impossible. And

5:33

then it's crazy when it happens and you're like, whoa,

5:35

like all that hard work. And like now,

5:38

now I'm a wine producer. Like, wow.

5:40

So it's a great feeling. I feel like this

5:43

is what it felt like made for people who

5:45

graduated college. I never did. So I don't know.

5:47

It is very similar when I got my real

5:49

estate license. That was an incredible feeling. I think

5:51

that's like what a degree feels like. But I

5:53

agree with you like so many years in the

5:55

making, almost a decade in the making, which I

5:58

know we're going to talk about another decade. here

6:00

to celebrate. But it

6:04

feels so good and I could just tell

6:06

this is a beginning of a new era

6:08

for you and I that's going to be

6:10

an empire that will grow beyond our last

6:12

breath here on earth and I just I'm

6:15

so here for it. So cheers sister, hard

6:17

work pays off. And

6:19

now we have a place to be home. Yeah,

6:22

cheers boo. You're our kind of vibes

6:24

for the next few months. And

6:28

there's something else to celebrate. Oh, what is

6:30

that? Tomorrow is Brian and Art 10

6:33

year wedding anniversary.

6:35

Whoo, I know. A

6:37

decade. A decade. We have been

6:39

married a decade. That's crazy. Isn't

6:42

it crazy? 10 years. It's

6:44

wild because we were talking about this and

6:47

we just don't feel like we've been married 10

6:49

years, which I feel like is a good thing,

6:52

right? No, that totally is a good thing.

6:54

But he and I are just like, that's gone really

6:56

fast. Flown.

6:59

Flown by, right? You know, it's

7:01

funny because, you know, I've

7:03

been having a really hard time getting his gift. I

7:06

just am like, I don't know, 10 years,

7:08

it feels like I should go buy diamonds or

7:10

something, but Brian doesn't like jewelry. And I just,

7:12

I kept having this feeling like I need

7:14

to go over the top. Right. 10 years,

7:16

you go big. But this is what I

7:19

ended up doing. You want to hear? I want to hear. So

7:22

he's always needed some

7:24

rain boots and new hiking shoes and he just

7:26

is too busy to get around to do it.

7:29

So I got him these Hunter rain

7:31

boots. Oh, I love Hunter rain boots. They're

7:33

the best. And I got him some really

7:35

good hiking shoes. And then obviously, I

7:38

feel like I do this a lot, but he loves it.

7:40

And I got him a spa day, right? So

7:42

what I ended up writing on the card, because I,

7:44

you know, I just, I wanted, I always like a

7:46

theme or something. I wrote in his

7:48

card and I was like, you know, I wanted to

7:51

do something over the top and

7:53

big for you. But I, but

7:55

what I realized is that's not who you

7:57

are. You aren't the over the top someone who

8:00

want something big. And what I

8:02

realized being your wife, that I

8:04

promised to bring you the next 10 years, is

8:07

the essentials, the things that you need,

8:10

which is, and I like went through, I

8:12

love all these things, and when you need

8:14

some rain boots, or your hiking boots don't

8:16

fit anymore, like I just went through all

8:18

the things of like, I'm always gonna

8:20

be the wife who will be there for the things

8:22

you need, never for who you aren't, which is over

8:24

the top. I don't know, it was all really cute.

8:26

That's cute. No, that's cute. I should read it word

8:28

for word, because it was better. But you know

8:30

what I mean? The jade. Yeah, I think it's

8:33

perfect. So you think he'll like that, right? Yeah,

8:35

I mean, maybe he wanted another infrared sauna, but

8:37

I think that's perfect. No, he

8:40

wouldn't, and this is the thing is that, it's

8:42

like the feeling I feel like I have to

8:44

go really big, but it's not really what he

8:46

feels. No, right. But isn't that funny? Like, don't

8:48

you feel like, oh, it's 10 years, like I

8:50

should go big. Well, of course, you know, but

8:53

we're women. And maybe it's not

8:55

that, it's just our personalities. Like, right.

8:58

Well, when I get to 10 years of

9:00

marriage, I better get a really big gift.

9:03

Well, and we're going to Santa Fe next week.

9:05

So I'm like, that's like our big thing. I

9:07

mean, he's spoiling me, but he'll

9:10

love that as well. I agree. So

9:12

that's really special, but yeah, 10 years.

9:14

And here's to you and

9:16

Brian. Many, many more decades. Yes,

9:19

many more decades. Yes. For

9:21

sure. Welcome to

9:24

a special segment brought to you

9:26

by Xfinity. Nikki and

9:28

I juggle a lot of

9:30

different roles, being moms, wives,

9:32

sisters, TV personalities, podcast hosts,

9:34

partners in wine. So

9:36

that means our days are very chaotic.

9:38

I love being a mom first, but

9:40

I have to say, I've never wanted

9:42

to really sacrifice my career. And

9:45

that's why we partnered up with

9:47

Xfinity. Get a powerful connection that

9:49

works throughout your home with wall-to-wall

9:51

Wi-Fi. Whether I'm on a video

9:53

call for work, I don't have to worry about

9:55

them dropping. Or if I'm watching cooking

9:57

videos to make something fun for the kids.

10:00

And I feel like I've been able to be

10:03

this hands-on mom. Work from home.

10:05

I feel like I can just balance

10:07

everything. As long as I have

10:09

some reliable internet. Today I was

10:11

able to make my kids some breakfast, but before

10:13

I took them to school, I had to jump

10:16

on a video call. Head to my office. Boom!

10:18

I sit on the desk and next thing you

10:20

know, I'm in a meeting with people in England,

10:22

and I'm going over a presentation with people in

10:25

New York. The one thing I have

10:27

to say that Xfinity has given me is peace of

10:29

mind. I feel like Xfinity has

10:31

literally made my household run very nicely,

10:34

very calmly, and I am so blessed

10:36

11:36

McDonald's. One in eight, start at McDonald's. And

11:38

when you start, come here with you. Oh,

11:43

we got to talk about our weekend. Yeah, a

11:45

crazy weekend. Well, and I feel like because there

11:47

is so much celebration talk, I

11:50

feel like the final four was

11:52

a huge hit this weekend beyond.

11:56

For women. For women. Yes.

11:59

And I'd say, so I... I don't watch college basketball.

12:01

I just, I don't know if it's because I

12:03

did two years of college, I don't know. I

12:06

never got attached to it. Basketball isn't really your

12:08

thing. Right, and either college sports aren't my thing.

12:11

But I feel like a lot

12:13

of people like me, who aren't

12:15

familiar with college

12:17

basketball, this season I became

12:19

very familiar with it. I

12:22

feel like it's the first time I actually

12:24

would stop and like watch something and see

12:26

highlights. And I don't

12:28

know, it was the, like a lot of

12:31

people, the first time I really got invested.

12:33

And obviously a lot of that goes

12:36

to Caitlin Clark. I heard her name

12:38

a hundred times. I

12:40

heard about Iowa, UConn,

12:42

all these teams, like they were

12:44

the main conversation going on with

12:46

so many people. Well, they made

12:48

history. What the

12:51

amount of viewers those women have

12:53

that tuned in made history. They

12:56

got the most viewership ever on

12:58

ESPN. And

13:00

that's for any basketball

13:02

game, college, professional, ever

13:05

in history at ESPN. I mean, that is

13:07

absolutely incredible. Isn't that, they got a total

13:09

of 18.7 million viewers. That

13:14

just tells you something. So when them contracts

13:16

come, I mean, what she's doing is incredible.

13:18

But obviously we know as sports players and

13:20

being on teams, like it takes a whole

13:23

team to get to that. But

13:25

she, you have to give her flowers

13:28

too, right? She is just incredible and

13:30

inspirational. And I love what she's doing

13:32

for women, especially for women's basketball. And

13:34

the fact that we're already talking about

13:36

her when she's going to be in

13:39

the WNBA and they're already upgrading

13:41

arenas and filling in more seats.

13:44

It's just incredible to see. And

13:46

honestly, I think this is

13:48

a beginning of a new era for

13:50

women in sports. That's gonna,

13:52

it's never gonna go back. I think we're gonna

13:54

see it women's soccer and we're gonna

13:57

see it in other female sports. We're gonna see it in

13:59

the Olympics. But it just makes

14:01

me so happy for basketball especially

14:03

for college basketball for the women's but

14:05

also for the WNBA because there's always

14:07

been that battle, you know and these

14:09

women work hard as athletes and they're

14:12

so Talented for sure and

14:14

you know what it to it.

14:17

What do you feel? made

14:20

People more invested like obviously she's an

14:22

incredible athlete, but there's a lot of

14:24

incredible athletes What is what else

14:27

do you think it is that everyone is drawn

14:29

to and kind of this craze around it? Well,

14:31

because this is why you gotta Look

14:34

at all the women around her. There's a lot

14:36

of good basketball players right now. So the games

14:38

are competitive They're fun to watch

14:40

and they're also Intense and

14:42

I think that was the thing with

14:44

men's sports for so long over women's.

14:47

It's that intensity You'd

14:49

get that every now and then but people Tune

14:52

into sports because they want to watch that competition

14:54

that like a little smack talking They want to they

14:56

want to be one of the rivalry, right? They

14:58

want to be on the edge of their seats in

15:00

rivalry. You just said why that way is the biggest

15:03

thing I feel like that's why I

15:05

like to watch like when the Eagles are playing the

15:07

Cowboys or the Giants like I just There's something

15:09

that amps up that guy and that was the

15:11

beginning of Caitlin, right that we saw last year

15:14

And so I think these women are

15:16

bringing it all to the table And

15:18

you can't help but watch because you're

15:20

just so entertained you have

15:23

to understand as majority of viewers people can't

15:26

Play sports like professionals. That's why they

15:28

tune in. So when you're watching these

15:30

professionals Bringing it all

15:32

to the table. You're just like you can't stop

15:34

and I have a question and this is coming

15:36

from mother Bri

15:40

Do you feel like it's so much pressure

15:42

on her to go out

15:44

there and have to perform? top

15:47

level every game I

15:49

mean, I Feel like

15:51

no because you know as a

15:53

professional athlete like we always want

15:56

to give it our all That's what makes it the best.

15:58

It's different for her right now Like

16:00

I feel like how everyone is

16:02

talking about her, everyone's putting her over. I

16:05

just like I look at her and I this is

16:07

mommy thinking. She

16:10

her age just the

16:12

pressure. I'm like I wonder like

16:15

if she gets anxiety or if

16:17

she's like what she does to

16:19

decompress or build herself up what

16:21

whatever it is because I'm like

16:25

you know it's kind of how I feel like how

16:27

Michael Jordan always been out there. People want to see

16:29

greatness every game like and they did obviously he was

16:32

the best but there has to be a pressure to

16:34

that. That's what for me that's

16:37

what makes the difference from a professional

16:39

athlete to an athlete because they have

16:41

that extra not only

16:43

it factor and incredible talent but

16:45

they know how to handle it all. I

16:48

mean there's some great athletes out there that can't handle

16:50

nerves, can't handle playing in front of people,

16:53

can't handle criticism. So

16:55

they don't make it to the top. People that make it

16:57

to the top they can carry a team. Kobe,

17:00

Michael Jordan, Mia Hamm,

17:03

Kaitlyn Clark. They can

17:05

carry teams and that's what makes them

17:08

the most talked about. I

17:10

mean you and I during our

17:12

era of wrestling we were

17:14

able to take on the hate, the love,

17:16

pay the nude road, bring women up at the

17:18

same time and there are certain people that are

17:20

made for that and that's what makes you the

17:22

top of your game, makes you the

17:25

MVP, the top player,

17:28

right? And I think you're just you're made

17:30

for that. The ones that aren't they're not

17:32

around long. And what I'll be interested in and

17:34

I'd like to hear your thoughts on this is

17:37

the pay grade. When she signs that contract

17:39

it's going to be public, right? I mean

17:41

they have to. It'll

17:44

be interesting for me to see what she

17:46

will get paid because it's hard not

17:48

to compare to the NBA, right? We are

17:50

in a day and age where we start

17:52

we're starting to compare because we know there

17:54

is a huge pay gap and like

17:57

people will say Phoenix Suns players get

17:59

paid more. because they bring in more

18:02

people to their games than the

18:04

Phoenix Mercury team does, right? But

18:06

I'll be interested with her, what her contract

18:09

will be. I'm sure she's gonna make a lot

18:11

of money, trust me. And she's gonna have an

18:13

insane amount of endorsement deals and I think she's

18:15

gonna be good. Since

18:18

we're at the Phoenix Sense, let's talk about this

18:20

past weekend. Friday night, court

18:22

side. I mean, it was

18:24

so much fun. With some snatch-jaz ponytails. Oh, you

18:26

know, that's called free Botox when you get the

18:29

snatch ponytail. I was like, if

18:31

I- I think I'm still sore from having two snatch

18:33

ponytails. I need to. Both nights. That's what

18:35

I couldn't do the second night. I was like, ugh. I

18:38

will tell you this. I don't watch

18:40

basketball regularly on television, but

18:44

every time I go to a basketball game, I

18:47

am blown away by the height, athleticism,

18:51

that just, it's so entertaining. I was telling Brian

18:54

this. I'm like, Brian, every time I go to

18:56

a basketball game, I'm like, why don't I watch

18:58

all the time? Because I'm so

19:00

entertained from beginning to end. There's

19:03

no moment for me to feel like almost chitchat

19:05

because it's just the game moves so fast and

19:08

you're so into it and it's like point after point

19:10

after point. It's a fun game for

19:12

sure. It was so much fun. I loved it. I

19:15

mean, when you're sitting court side, it's like- I mean-

19:18

It's just, and then being in the club,

19:20

Phoenix Sense- The Anaclunch. Yeah, Phoenix

19:22

Sense does it right. Let me

19:24

tell you, that is like a

19:26

fun Friday night. Well, and

19:28

then we're in the club and all of a

19:30

sudden we see Henry Sahudo and he's an MMA

19:32

fighter and that was really fun. And then we

19:35

see Guy Fieri and it was fun chatting with

19:37

him. And I mean, the list

19:39

went on. It was just, it was a fun

19:41

little scene. I was like, wow, this feels like

19:43

a good Friday night. That's what I'm saying.

19:46

I'm watching some basketball game, having good drinks,

19:48

chatting with some cool people. It's like an

19:50

ultimate Friday night for me now. Hey, give

19:52

me some court side seats. I'll

19:54

go party in the club. No, honestly, it made me

19:56

almost want to be a season ticket

19:59

holder. I was just- like this is so fun.

20:01

I wonder how much quartzite cost a year

20:03

or a season. I

20:06

mean I don't know how they do it. Like at the

20:08

Phoenix Suns. Because you wonder. Yeah I have no idea. I

20:11

mean I would think there's a lot of

20:13

games right? Well no they go away. What

20:15

we just need to do is convince them

20:17

to carry bonita bonita and along with that

20:19

is like two bonita seats. But

20:22

we can't go all the time. Well I

20:24

know but if we have two bonita seats then we

20:26

could always put other bonitas in there. We'd have to

20:28

look at the Warriors. We'd have to end up becoming

20:30

Golden State fans. Don't

20:33

ever. You know. Once the Suns fan

20:35

always the Suns fan. The only other

20:37

team we're ever allowed to root for

20:40

are the Sixers. So don't even try.

20:42

I mean

20:44

the 76ers and the Suns play each

20:46

other. Who are you rooting for? Well

20:49

I mean now you're talking about family roots.

20:52

76ers right? Pop up with you looking down

20:54

at me in heaven like you better. Yeah.

20:56

Obviously. Obviously.

20:58

But yes it was an incredible

21:00

night. And Gila River. Okay I'm

21:02

telling you guys. Gila River over

21:06

at Wild Horse Pass where we were at. It is

21:08

so much fun. It was a lot of fun. You

21:11

know it was it's one of those

21:13

things when you go to casinos you get why

21:15

adults just love being there. Yes. Because it

21:17

is like adult play land. You get to do

21:20

a little gambling. Lay by the pool. Maybe

21:22

go get a massage. It just

21:24

they always have entertainment. Like we saw E40 and

21:27

Ice Cube. Which was so fun. Which I learned today E40

21:30

was raised in Napa. No.

21:32

Well I know he's always represented

21:34

your cow. Like the bay. But

21:36

I guess Napa Valley. Oh

21:38

my goodness. That's where he went to high

21:40

school. And if I didn't go to bed

21:43

as well okay. She pulled a

21:45

Super Bowl weekend on me. No but

21:47

it was 11 p.m. and I

21:50

had Mateo with me. No he wasn't like out watching E40

21:52

and Ice Cube. But he was

21:54

you know in the room sleeping. Yeah. But

21:56

I just knew I was gonna have another

21:58

crazy early morning. I mean, it was 11 p.m.

22:01

and I'm like, I can't do it. No,

22:03

Ice Cube literally went, he

22:05

played 1130 to 1 a.m. Yes.

22:09

It was funny, the next day I saw one of the employees

22:11

there at Gila River and they're like, yeah, I saw you backstage

22:14

and you looked so tired. I'm like, yeah,

22:16

I was like one, 115. My

22:18

bedtime's nine. I'm just, I mean,

22:21

oh man, I just assume like, anyone

22:23

who was like them from

22:25

our era, because like when you look around, we're

22:27

all like 40 and older majority,

22:29

I would assume like, okay, it's gonna

22:32

be 730 p.m. showtime. Or

22:34

at least maybe they were wrapped at 10 p.m. But

22:37

I think- I was shocked that it started at 10 p.m. 10

22:40

p.m. to 1 a.m. is hard for people our age.

22:42

Yeah, E40 made a joke like

22:44

halfway through. He's like, I'm tired, it's

22:46

late. Yeah. But I'll say Ice Cube,

22:48

I was really impressed with, I've never

22:50

been to an Ice Cube concert. So

22:53

people who have, they're probably like, you know, duh,

22:56

but it was really cool to hear his

22:58

stories before he sang a song and just

23:01

knowing like the purpose of that song, why

23:03

he wrote it, what it meant. I

23:06

was really into that and he gave a couple

23:08

little motivational little things in

23:10

between songs. He put on a

23:12

really great show. Right, well, and like

23:15

to your point, that's what I think is

23:17

really cool when you go to more of

23:19

those intimate performances, because you get those kinds

23:21

of stories. So definitely check up

23:23

Pila Rivers' lineup this summer. They have a great

23:26

lineup. I mean, you and I are trying to

23:28

get back for Clint Black. We were like, Clint

23:30

Black? I'm like, Martina, I'm like, Bri, white Yoka,

23:32

I mean. Sign me up. Sign us up. Los

23:34

Lonely Boys are gonna be there. They have a

23:37

lot of good. A lot of good. Yes. But

23:40

like, it was when I went and saw

23:42

Dina Martin perform in a very intimate venue

23:44

in San Diego over in Little Italy. And

23:48

she was, you know, singing a lot of her

23:50

dad's music, but after every song or before she

23:52

would sing a song, she would share all these

23:54

incredible stories of her and her dad,

23:56

Dean Martin, and then also the rap pack, when the rap

23:59

pack like first. took her out when she

24:01

remembers landing in Las Vegas and they were showing her around

24:03

Las Vegas. I mean her stories are so incredible and you

24:05

know I'm a massive Rap Pack fan

24:07

and so to hear those you're like

24:09

whoa it's cool but I think it's really cool

24:12

when you know why people wrote songs. What they

24:14

were feeling, what they were going through. Me too.

24:16

It just makes

24:18

the music so much more intimate

24:20

and you have so much more of a connection to it.

24:22

So I thought that was all

24:24

cool and I mean E-40. You just forget

24:26

in our era okay so we graduated

24:29

high school in 2002 so they you know

24:31

it's around them. All

24:33

the popular songs he was a part of

24:35

as well. Right. And I remember when he

24:37

came onto the scene he just had that

24:39

voice that no one else had. Sure. And

24:42

I just remember loving it. And then my

24:45

first boyfriend in college I

24:47

mean he was just always he was a

24:50

DJ pro snowboarder and a DJ but he'd

24:52

always play E-40. Right. Remember when you and

24:54

I were dancing we're like oh my gosh

24:56

this reminds us of Marcos so much. Well

24:59

I was even blown away when Ice Cube was talking

25:01

about some of the movies he did and the songs.

25:04

And I was like how young I

25:06

was. I mean the Chris Tucker movies.

25:08

Right. Well it was Chris Tucker. Friday

25:10

after Friday and then Friday after next.

25:12

Like they had great chemistry together. They

25:14

were so good. Wow it was a

25:16

lot of fun. Ice Cube he's actually

25:18

a great actor. Great actor. Yeah. You

25:20

need to get him on barmageddon. He'd be fun. Oh

25:23

he'd be good. He'd be really good. What

25:25

a fun weekend. Exhausting for me. Well

25:27

I feel like I'm still recovering and

25:29

it's not even about the drinking or

25:32

anything because I didn't drink that much.

25:34

But for me it's like when you're

25:36

go go go and you're getting dressed

25:38

up and doing all these things. And

25:40

I had Mateo. Yeah. Well you.

25:43

Yes. So tiring. So

25:45

tired. But I agree with

25:47

you. I still feel like I'm recovering. I could tell my

25:49

body's like a bit run down. Or is

25:52

it because of the

25:54

solar eclipse or in mercury retrograde.

25:56

What's happening. I don't know. How

25:58

long is that? this one last

26:00

scene, I always get freaked out when we're

26:02

mercury retrograde. I'm like, I don't, till the

26:04

end of the April, I think like April 24th

26:06

or something. Shit gets so

26:08

shaken up and I'm like, why? Oh, but

26:11

you know what I did bring you

26:14

guys. How nice was this? The Phoenix sense. I

26:17

did try it on this morning. I was about to wear it. And

26:19

then I was like, I kind of wanted to look a little more

26:21

Western, but I

26:23

didn't bring mine, but I did love it. You know

26:26

what I'm going to do to this rain, the dazzle

26:28

it and cut it. Yeah. Even

26:30

though when I put mine on the other day and I

26:33

think it's cute, like long. No, I took,

26:35

I was like, actually with some thigh high

26:37

boots and like, uh, bike shorts, I was

26:40

thinking out. Maybe I'll keep it

26:42

for that. Yeah. I have so many

26:44

ones you've cropped. I know. I just

26:46

love that style. It's like a long

26:48

one pants have a long one

26:50

in the mix. Okay. Maybe I'll keep a

26:52

long one. You should. Yeah. Yeah.

26:55

It was super cute. When it

26:57

comes to decorating my home, I like

26:59

coziness. I like the boho feel. I

27:02

want it to be light and airy

27:04

pretty much when you walk into my door, I

27:07

want you to feel that you are truly at

27:09

home and you have that warm and fuzzy feeling.

27:12

So do you want to know something

27:14

we've all gotten comments? Here it is.

29:21

for generations to come. Wow,

29:24

that is so cool. I feel like there's

29:26

so many times I drive around and I

29:28

always look and I'm like, oh my gosh,

29:30

if that was just a park for kids

29:32

to be at. One thing I find as

29:35

a mom that is so healthy for

29:37

my children mentally and physically, this place

29:40

is for them to run around.

29:42

That feels safe, that you have

29:44

community. I also feel like it's a great

29:46

place for kids to be social. So

29:49

I find it absolutely incredible that Macy's

29:51

is going the extra yard

30:00

30:05

it does feel good to be home. And

30:07

my kids were so excited to see me,

30:09

which always feels good, and Brian. So

30:12

we've actually, since I've been home, it's been really

30:15

nice. It's been busy, because you know, the kids

30:17

make me all these arts and crafts, and then we go

30:19

do all these things. So I haven't had

30:21

a minute to recover. But it was,

30:23

it's, oh I don't know, there's just that feeling when

30:25

I walk through the door, I lay my head on

30:27

my own pillow, I put

30:29

my own food, it just

30:31

brings so much joy to me. It brings so

30:33

much joy, I don't blame you.

30:35

I was really stoked to get home. Obviously just

30:38

for Mateo to be back in his bed,

30:40

I get to be back in mine. But I

30:43

just realized that, where

30:45

I'm at in my life, I just really

30:47

crave routine, and my son

30:49

thrives on routine, so routine is

30:51

just a must in my family.

30:53

Well I have been like really good

30:56

about what Justin Tartik said a

30:58

couple weeks ago on our podcast, about

31:01

documenting, and really putting down the numbers of

31:06

when you feel you're happiest, when you feel

31:09

you're lowest, and even coming

31:11

home from this weekend, when I was on

31:13

the airplane, I realized

31:16

like, okay, like next time

31:18

the things, I'll say okay to this, and like things

31:20

I'm like, no it's just, no,

31:23

doesn't make me happy, I don't, you know,

31:25

feel it. But it's nice to, I

31:27

will say, it was like really great advice, because

31:30

it's really good to look at that. I agree.

31:32

And then just know for how to set boundaries

31:34

and for your future. Brie, you know me, I

31:36

was always the queen of saying yes to it

31:38

all, and I am so

31:40

in that space now, because

31:44

when I just started to dabble in that space of

31:46

saying no to things and doing things I love, and

31:49

recognizing where I feel really happy

31:51

and light, and like smiling,

31:54

and I don't feel weighed down, right?

31:56

And I was like, these are

31:58

the things why? And then, This

32:00

isn't all my plate and and

32:02

I love it. I feel so good

32:05

And so I am all about that

32:07

and there was a quote

32:09

you just put on your IG stories I think I

32:11

saw it yesterday The

32:14

the life one the living. Yes

32:17

Say it was it It's

32:19

it was so good and and I love

32:21

that hit me so much And

32:24

it brings me to Brie and I are It's

32:28

gonna be very interesting. Oh, no too

32:30

bad. The reality cameras won't be there

32:32

tomorrow um, so our boys start t-ball

32:35

tomorrow and You're

32:38

looking at the coaches That's

32:40

32:42

We'd probably call him The

32:44

Bella fellas know the bad

32:46

news Bellas. No, I didn't

32:49

know that Oh you said Bellas and fellas, but then I

32:51

33:06

sons. So we're super excited. Um,

33:09

a little bit nervous because I've already

33:11

started practicing with Mateo and how It

33:14

was this morning. I was telling him how you know,

33:17

okay, so I'm gonna throw you the ball

33:19

You're gonna catch the ball in your glove and when the ball

33:21

is in your glove And you kind of close your hand

33:23

33:25

33:27

of catches it in his met and

33:29

33:34

like, oh Boom and

33:36

I'm like, oh no, no, you don't throw it on the

33:38

glove side And he was like what so I kept trying

33:40

to go through so then he just starts kicking the ball

33:42

like go straight into soccer mode Yeah, well

33:45

Brian what's more gonna be interesting? Oh, our husbands

33:47

can't stop laughing at us They can't believe we're

33:49

gonna be coaches. Like what are you gonna do?

33:51

I'm like, well, I'm already trying to think of

33:53

my pep talk That's a lot of pressure. He's

33:56

like there's three to five year olds. Yeah, but

33:58

I still need to like give him a pep

34:00

talk and let them know discipline

34:03

and there's organization and practice. T-ball's

34:05

fun. I know, but like I

34:08

want to like... But we need them to

34:10

take away something every practice, right? For sure.

34:13

Because I go and see buddies do Tae Kwon Do and

34:15

I see how that coach is in there. And

34:18

you know with Birdie, like I am, I'm

34:21

very experienced sitting in my

34:24

children's things after school stuff,

34:26

watching people coach them. So I'm like there has

34:28

to be a game. We need a game plan.

34:30

Oh well, obvious. We're going to have a game

34:32

plan. And we don't have one yet. Well, we're...

34:34

Why don't we discuss that we're doing that today?

34:36

On YouTube. We're going to watch YouTube. But we

34:38

did get our outfits, so that's a good thing.

34:40

But... Are you going to wear that to practice

34:42

or just the games? Girl, you get in uniform.

34:45

They need to know who the coach is. When I

34:47

walk up, they need to go, that's coach. That's coach

34:49

Nikki. Oh my gosh, okay. You

34:51

know? Yeah. Three

34:53

to five year olds. They need to know. Out

34:56

of it all is,

34:59

will our boys listen to us? Absolutely

35:02

not. Tell them what buddy said. Okay, we're

35:04

on our way to big five yesterday. So we

35:06

thought it'd be fun. We thought it'd be fun.

35:08

It was Bree and I, we took the boys,

35:10

Bree came and picked up Mateo and I. So

35:12

we're like, let's go to big five. Get the

35:14

gear. Get the gear and then we'll go get

35:16

dinner after and just make it us four. So

35:19

Bree, tell everyone what happened. So the

35:21

boys kept screaming in the back. Like they're

35:23

really into now like just screaming at the

35:25

top of their lungs. And they only do it

35:27

when each other around. Oh yeah. And yeah, cause they

35:29

stared at each other the whole time. And they laugh. And

35:32

so we just kind of made some,

35:34

you know, inside voices were inside the

35:36

car, like, you know, the whole spiel. So

35:39

buddy, I can hear him under his breath. He said

35:41

it low at first. He was like, I don't, I

35:43

don't want you as my coach. No, first you guys.

35:45

No, he said that's second. He said second to

35:48

make sure we hurt. Yeah. And he

35:50

was like, I don't want you as my coach. And

35:53

I was like, what was that buddy? And

35:55

he goes, I don't want you guys as my

35:57

coaches. I

36:00

was like, that's okay. So then he said his

36:02

teacher's name. I want her as my coach. He kept

36:04

saying it. Yeah So,

36:06

you know, I'm like, all right. There's

36:09

already that already didn't like that. I told him

36:11

to have an inside voice I can't

36:14

wait for one buddy just keeps

36:16

looking at Brie why we're coaching and it's gonna

36:18

be like I don't like you That's like buddies

36:20

thing right now when he gets mad. But

36:23

when the boys got into big size I It

36:27

was as if they were in Disneyland. They

36:29

just ran. No, look like everything Grocery

36:32

shopping thing. Right? Yeah, this sweet. What was

36:34

it? This is his shopping mark Yeah, like

36:36

they had like two minutes to grab everything

36:38

and throw it in a cart. Yeah, I

36:40

was like what they were having balls Brie

36:42

and I were chasing balls, but also making

36:44

sure they weren't running out front doors and

36:48

The woman was like, whoa Yeah,

36:51

I guess yeah just they can throw the balls you could

36:53

tell she's break Oh, no, she was like just don't break

36:55

anything cuz of course I'm gonna say Oh Chuck

36:58

it to the light and like it popped the light

37:00

up a little bit and she was

37:02

like, I can't break the light I was

37:04

like, oh my I know when I heard that yell. I

37:06

was like, where did he throw it? I was like, oh,

37:08

it's the ball stuck in the ladder. I can't reach it

37:11

was madness. It was madness and then we took

37:13

them to pizza

37:15

place it's like become our spot with

37:17

the kids and We

37:20

just it was yeah, my gosh, it's

37:22

so crazy. So what it's gonna be it's gonna

37:24

be great memories It's gonna be a lot of

37:26

fun. You guys are gonna go to probably a lot of

37:28

great stories every week Oh my gosh, I

37:30

can't even imagine. Yeah, I just got to get

37:33

my T-ball. I mean, this is like so the

37:36

joking aside game plan Cones

37:39

to make the diamond shape like the

37:42

three bases and home plate by the

37:44

way, you know, we're co-coaches So we

37:46

got a disgusting. Yeah, but

37:48

to get them running I think the first thing

37:51

you do is get the kids right. Yes, get

37:53

the energy out. Let's practice right make a tired

37:55

Yeah, so who is gonna be hitting the balls?

37:57

No balls. There's like the teeth the

38:01

team with the ball on top. Like don't you see the coaches

38:03

when they hit the balls that go on the ground to the

38:05

kids so they can pick up and throw? I mean they're three

38:07

to five years old, there's no picking up, is

38:09

there? Three, what? Yeah.

38:12

So I think we're gonna have to hit off tees,

38:14

huh? There

38:17

has to be a YouTube video on this. Yeah

38:19

but you and I like going like this and hitting it

38:21

down. I can't do that, I'll miss. I see, yeah that's

38:23

a little bit. I'll go shoot one side.

38:26

And then what's the worst of them toddlers that you do that

38:28

then they're gonna actually miss it. Or I'm gonna get laughed at

38:31

by a bunch of kids. I think we're just gonna, you and

38:33

I are gonna have to hit off the tees. Yeah,

38:35

I'm gonna lose all confidence in life. But

38:37

what's crazy is obviously because they're toddlers all the

38:39

parents stay and watch. Which is even

38:41

worse. Yeah. Parents will be like.

38:45

And I'm like. Yeah, get in the car and be like

38:47

wow those coaches. I mean this

38:50

is the thing, they needed volunteers. I really wanted

38:52

my kid to play. We. And

38:55

we just felt like all right. Here we go. We

38:58

do need to think of a team name though. Yeah,

39:01

well we have one girl on the team. As

39:03

of now we have one girl. Yeah. So

39:05

if we wanna say the Bella and the fellas. That's

39:08

really cute. I

39:11

think we're gonna have to go with that. I

39:14

think it's cute. Yeah that is cute. And I think

39:16

we're red and white. Oh

39:18

for sure. I mean we already got our outfits that look

39:20

like that. All

39:23

right. So we'll see. I

39:25

just. Cause if we have them

39:27

they're gonna be like. Tiger,

39:29

Oreo. I feel like Mateo's

39:31

gonna be like. Wrapped around

39:33

my leg at times and then just kicking it. Well

39:35

Buddy's going through a stage. He keeps putting his nose

39:38

in my butt. I swear if he does it in front of

39:40

everyone. And doesn't make me

39:42

look like an authority figure. Oh

39:44

he's for sure not gonna let you look like an

39:46

authority. He's gonna tell me off and then I'm gonna

39:48

have to clench my jaw and be like what was that

39:50

booty? Your teeth. Clench your

39:52

teeth. Or my teeth, whatever. Teeth, jaw, they're

39:54

all the same. All right there. Yeah.

39:57

But we got it. Let's cheers to it. Cheers. T-ball

40:00

coaches. We're gonna win. By the way, we're gonna

40:03

win. We better win. Oh. And I think we

40:05

have to get everyone trophies or

40:08

medals. We should do medals. Trophies too much

40:10

to like put in a room. Right. No,

40:12

medals will be good. But maybe

40:15

we should get everyone patches. No, because

40:17

people not everyone irons on patches. Those

40:20

kids are good. They need to feel what it's

40:22

like to have but I mean always growing up

40:24

in T-ball everything was trophies. Remember it always looked

40:26

like a baseball bag. I'll say this. There's always

40:28

a big debate online where people, I see parents

40:30

talk about this, where they want their

40:32

children like if you get first place, second place or

40:35

third place, you get a medal. Do not

40:37

give them a participation

40:41

award. What do you think about that? Well,

40:45

I mean, obviously, I think it's tough about

40:47

three to five year olds. I get where

40:49

you can do participation in that way. But

40:52

anything beyond five. At some point in life, they

40:54

will have to learn that. Okay, we'll be on

40:57

five. We can wait till they're after five. Then

40:59

don't do that. But three to five. Give them

41:01

participation medal. I mean, I kind of think so.

41:03

Or a

41:05

good snack. You know them.

41:07

They don't care. You know,

41:09

one thing buddies, Taekwondo teacher will

41:11

do is like, once in

41:13

a while someone will get an award who fully

41:16

listens in class and does everything properly

41:18

and all that. And it's crazy. The

41:20

kids get real competitive. I know that

41:22

I keep picks one. And I'll say

41:25

like, the other kids get bombed because they felt

41:27

like they tried just as hard.

41:29

But I when I

41:31

there's organization and discipline that but it's

41:34

neat to see the kids like really,

41:36

right, like get determined and like go

41:38

for it. Right. But in that year

41:40

as an individual, you're not in a team

41:43

sport. So it makes

41:45

you individually be like, okay, they're all

41:47

out there having fun. People it's different

41:49

when it's groups stuff like that. Do you know

41:51

what I mean? I think that's where

41:53

participation awards can come into play from three

41:55

to five. But yeah, we're talking about three

41:57

to five. For sure. Oh, You

42:00

think after five? No. I mean at least

42:04

when you get into third grade what age is that? When

42:06

do we start teaching them about life? Third

42:09

grade. Sometimes it's not fair.

42:11

Third grade elementary school? It's nine-year-olds. Yeah

42:14

perfect age. Second

42:19

grade still you're it's young. Like

42:23

first and second. I talked to a lot of

42:25

eight-year-olds and they're pretty smart. No they're really smart

42:27

but like let's like ease them into the life

42:29

fields. Nine. You

42:31

could start playing competitive sports maybe even ten. You

42:33

turn double digits. That's it for

42:35

the rest of your life unless you make it to 100. But like like

42:39

now we'll talk about life. Now we'll hit

42:41

that. Okay. You know what I mean? And

42:43

you could do competitive sports and you could

42:45

be on traveling teams. We can

42:47

instill it then. Yeah. Let him be

42:49

kids. Let him have fun. All right. I

42:52

mean we're gonna get the first place one so it doesn't even matter.

42:54

And if we don't well

42:57

you're gonna have to do with us. Just

42:59

kidding. No but we are gonna win. Texas

43:02

Pete is a sauce that allows you

43:05

to sauce like you mean it. It's

43:07

generosity in its simplest form and it's

43:09

a swagger people have who know what's

43:11

good. That's right. Each Texas Pete sauce

43:14

is packed with bold balanced flavor. The

43:16

signature tanginess is what makes it a

43:18

legendary hot sauce that can be used

43:21

on just about anything. It has been

43:23

at the center of dinner tables since

43:25

1929 and is still heating

43:29

things up today. Oh yeah and you

43:31

know you're definitely going to want to

43:33

try every flavor. The original hot sauce

43:35

has a famous secret blend of fermented

43:38

peppers. The hotter hot sauce

43:40

is three times hotter than

43:42

the original and not for the

43:44

faint of heart. Sabor by Texas

43:47

Pete adds authentic Mexican flavor. Yum

43:49

and their dust dry seasoning matches

43:51

the flavor of the original hot

43:54

sauce in a flavorful dry rub.

43:56

It's just making my mouth water

43:58

stinking about it. I mean,

44:00

I'm always reaching for the Texas Pete.

44:02

I think we put it on our

44:05

breakfast, lunch and dinner. And we really

44:07

do. And we actually even sneak hot

44:09

sauce in our purses so if restaurants

44:12

don't have hot sauce, we put it

44:14

on. Texas Pete goes with me everywhere

44:16

46:28

so I say for a little

46:30

inspiration affirmation. I tell everyone what

46:32

you were talking about my IG story. Oh,

46:35

yes. I love that quote. It was great. Yeah.

46:38

You know, it was interesting because like on my

46:40

feed, like I'll see different things and at times

46:43

like I'm just feeling it. I just always will

46:45

repost it to my stories because I want everyone to know

46:47

like that's what I feel in life. And

46:49

so this is what Nicole was talking about and

46:52

it's from at becoming unbusy,

46:54

which I see a lot of

46:56

their quotes and I've gone to their Instagram before.

46:58

I really like it. It's my vibe.

47:01

Once she stopped rushing through life, she

47:04

was amazed at how much more life she

47:06

had time for. And

47:09

I mean, I when I saw I was like 100%. Amen.

47:12

It's like sometimes we think like

47:15

when we're constantly keeping ourselves busy and I'll even

47:17

say like, okay, we're gonna be tee ball coaches. You

47:19

feel like you're putting your kids and after

47:23

school activity every day after school and making

47:25

them so busy, they're living. But realistically,

47:28

what I've learned and I feel like you feel the same, taking

47:30

a bike ride with your family or making

47:33

a little picnic in your backyard and just

47:35

everyone sitting and reading a book together is

47:37

to me living. So the more

47:40

I've been relaxing and unwinding and just

47:42

giving more time to nothing has made

47:45

me feel life more. You

47:48

know, it's like so for my people who

47:50

journal, maybe ask yourself this,

47:53

what is life to you? What

47:55

is that definition? And

47:57

especially being out here in Napa Valley. and

48:00

being a mom and the pandemic taught me a

48:02

lot. I think for some of us, we

48:05

could have taken that a few different ways, right?

48:07

You all know me, I love

48:10

material things. I love fashion, I

48:13

am bougie, I love

48:15

diamonds. I love all those things, but what I've

48:17

realized since then is how they

48:19

are so not important, not compared to

48:21

health, not compared to living, not compared

48:23

to family, not compared to spending

48:26

time with loved ones or if I could have had

48:28

that one last goodbye with someone or one

48:30

last dinner, whatever it may be. And

48:33

my mindset since the pandemic changed

48:35

so much and I think that's also becoming a mom

48:37

because you start to love something

48:39

more than you could have ever imagined and

48:43

everything else doesn't become as important. But

48:46

the minute that I stopped saying no to

48:48

things and I was just enjoying

48:50

what was around me right in front of

48:52

me, it was crazy how fulfilled I started

48:54

to feel. Literally, I know

48:56

I'm in the right place where I live,

48:59

no offense, hate paying California state tax. It

49:01

sucks, I don't get to live as lavish

49:03

as I used to, but

49:05

the one thing I will say, you know, is

49:08

when I drive anywhere

49:10

and I'm driving through vineyards and I'm looking

49:13

at those mountains and the vineyards and I'm

49:15

smelling the air, I

49:17

always am happy and it never gets old and

49:19

I'm always like, oh man, I love where I

49:21

live and I feel just all these amazing things

49:23

in my eyes, I feel like, see clear. And

49:26

you and I, when we go on our power walks

49:28

and I'm hearing the birds and we're just walking and

49:31

talking, I love it. I love

49:33

it, where we go work out every day

49:35

and looking at all the pine trees and

49:37

the oaks and the redwoods, all gorgeous

49:40

trees and mountains. I'm always like, I

49:43

love my life. I love

49:45

when Artem brings my coffee and we're staring

49:47

at the vineyards and the fog comes in.

49:50

And not only that, like you said, it's

49:52

so wild and you have time for

49:54

life and I think what I've realized and I know I'm

49:56

not like you or Brian, but I

49:58

gotta be a mother nature. nature has

50:00

to surround me and when I get

50:03

to enjoy her beauty, that's life for

50:05

me. That's the definition. When I enjoy my family

50:07

and we all feel good and we're healthy, that's

50:10

living life for me. Now when my career

50:12

is doing great but it's not overwhelming, that's

50:14

life to me. I don't want to be

50:16

in the Hollywood and doing the bump and

50:18

grind all the time. That's not living for

50:20

me. And I think too in our society,

50:22

we've all felt guilty when we have our

50:24

nice cup of coffee and we sit on

50:26

a couch and do nothing. It's almost like,

50:28

oh if you're doing nothing it's bad. It's

50:31

actually not true at all. There's

50:34

such a beauty to it and you

50:36

should for your health, that

50:38

physical and mental, enjoy

50:40

and sit and enjoy your coffee.

50:43

Just sit and enjoy. Don't feel like

50:45

that means you're lazy, you're doing nothing. I

50:48

love slow mornings. And actually I think in

50:50

the morning is the time to be the

50:52

slowest to really think about your day. Think

50:54

about what you want to accomplish in your day. How

50:56

do you want to go into your day? Sometimes we

50:58

wake up grumpy because we didn't get a good night's

51:00

sleep. Give yourself a chance to wake up and like

51:03

change your attitude. Be like, I'm feeling a little grumpy

51:05

right now which is okay. Let's change that and go

51:07

into our day. I just, I literally got over

51:09

the whole hustle and bustle and

51:11

since I got over that I have looked

51:14

at life differently and I've enjoyed it so much

51:16

more and I hope for all of you listening,

51:18

you just, I know it's hard

51:20

for people who work during the week and taking

51:22

their kids to school. I get that sometimes my

51:24

mornings with my kids getting out the door is

51:26

chaos. Oh yeah. But hopefully on the weekends and

51:28

also for all parents, put

51:31

your kid only in one or two things because

51:34

I think right now it's so overdone. Kids

51:36

are like, you're almost, parents are Uber drivers

51:38

taking their kids at Monday through, right? Every,

51:40

actually every day of the week. They're like Uber

51:43

drivers taking them to all these different activities. I

51:45

think families need to be home more. Just chill

51:47

at home. Right. You know, play a board game. Yeah.

51:49

Get a little bored. Yeah. But I

51:51

agree with you. Just find

51:54

out what life is to you and what

51:56

that meaning is because we're all different, you

51:58

know, and, and then just

52:00

try to live that life and

52:03

don't worry about keeping up with the Joneses

52:06

or the perception you have to give people because

52:08

when you let that go it's crazy how

52:10

free you feel. I know the things now

52:12

that make me happy and how I look

52:15

and how I don't like you know I

52:18

was telling Bree because I signed up for

52:20

is it B shred? I don't even know.

52:22

Months ago because I wanted

52:24

to get more jacked and like rain

52:28

and it's just the grocery list and the food

52:30

prepping was so overwhelming to me and like didn't

52:32

mind the workouts but I was just like you

52:35

know Bree and I we spoke about this on

52:37

one of our power walks we

52:39

live life like Europeans. Bree and I will be

52:41

strict and then we'll have a few cheat dates

52:43

then we'll get really strict and and I've realized

52:45

that's kind of the life I like and the

52:47

winter I you know hibernate a little bit and

52:49

you know I think all of it's the holidays and

52:51

now I'm in like the workout power

52:54

mode to like okay Mateo

52:56

loves to swim I'm gonna have to get in a bikini suit and

52:58

not only that I just want to do it for myself but

53:01

I just realized that I can't

53:03

do diets or like force

53:06

workouts or people on me like

53:09

eat programs I guess you could say. I don't

53:12

want to be unhappy doing things. Yeah so

53:14

if there's a workout that makes me unhappy

53:16

I'm not gonna do it again. Yeah or

53:18

the eating plan right I do

53:20

that was the last one that I realized

53:22

you know what I'm not gonna do any

53:24

of these anymore because it doesn't make me happy

53:26

what makes me happy is when I'm on my

53:29

own schedule when I'm my own

53:31

person and all the things I want to

53:33

do. I was like I got one of

53:35

those meal plans and I'm like alright and

53:38

I saw the grocery list I'm like papaya

53:40

oatmeal with a little sprinkled chia seed. I'm

53:42

like who's making this? I'm not I'm just

53:44

gonna eat a banana and I'm actually very

53:47

satisfied. The list was insane. I felt like

53:49

I was a Michelin star restaurant.

53:51

I'm like what does anyone have like

53:53

families or jobs when they go to

53:55

make this and I guess they say

53:57

spend a few hours on your Sunday.

54:00

to prep for the week, but sometimes I

54:02

don't eat. I mean, that's days there's no

54:04

school. So like- Garlic, lemon, salmon underneath this

54:06

like special type of quinoa with a sprinkle

54:09

of this and a sprinkle of that. I

54:11

was like- Paprika. Like

54:14

it's called, I'm gonna squeeze lemon, put it in the,

54:16

or squeeze lemon on my salmon, put it in the

54:18

air fryer, make the kids some peas and cucumbers and

54:20

call it a night. I was so the same. And

54:22

then you get the emails of a deal on this

54:24

and I do this and a da da da da

54:26

da. Last time it

54:28

happened to me, I said, I will never

54:30

ever again. This made me feel- Ever again.

54:33

Sign up for any of that. With instant

54:35

buyer's remorse. I know. I

54:37

said less than learned. Right. No carbs, no

54:39

sweets. I see a difference. There we go. There

54:42

we go. And you know what? Like, oh, want

54:44

my arms just giving it time. They're slowly getting

54:46

back. I will get toned again.

54:49

And I just got to let that be

54:51

there. But then I'm also like, remember your

54:53

age, but like, yeah, I'm just

54:55

gonna, the one, the most

54:57

important thing about it all, and I go back to my

54:59

definition of life. I mean, and

55:02

that's all what matters. Boom. Cheers,

55:04

sister. Cheers to living

55:06

life. You know it, baby. My way

a lot of theories about why. I I thought

it was an eco move. For your words, less

paper. No, it was so you

55:42
