2:39 I wanted to end with it, but if y'all want to start with it, well, I think we're starting with it. I don't think we have a chance. We're starting with that.

2:46 I made the executive decision for us today. We're starting with, so this is the game. So we have four cups here on the table and three of them have water in them and one of them has a shot at

2:58 tequila, but we don't know which one. So to all of our viewers, you guys have to guess, oh wait, let me back up. So we're all gonna drink it one by one And the goal of the game is to not guess

3:11 who has a tequila. No. Can we guess each other? We can guess each other. You don't wanna make a face. So whoever has a tequila shot just wants to see your along. So we gotta look into the camera,

3:22 our own camera. I feel like I'm really bad at this. So whoever has a tequila shot has to keep a straight face. I feel like Jules is gonna win and I hope that she has it. I just hope I have it just

3:32 for the sake of taking a shot. Well, we'll start with, I'll go first. Okay, go first. Okay, this is my camera. I think I'm gonna, I wanna like laugh. I feel like having people to this - No,

3:41 I'm gonna laugh too - Okay -

3:44 Work out that.

3:53 We do. Yeah, yeah. I was good. Okay, I'm nervous

4:08 I'm gonna take a while to get to say you had the tequila. Oh my god, I didn't want to do that. Oh my god. Oh

4:22 my god. Okay. You have the radiance in your life. I was already for that. I really thought I had the tequila. I smell it. I know. I was like, do you need that? I'm gonna throw up. I'm not

4:29 good at this game. Are you?

4:36 I was not expecting that.

4:39 Oh my god. Joel's like, Can't keep up with you. I want to die right now. Okay. That's

4:52 the game. That was amazing. That was amazing. We can just end the vlog right here. This actually went way better than I thought. Way better than expected I'm drinking some water. Are you okay?

5:05 It really not. Really? I feel like the tag for this episode is going to be Watch Joelie.

5:14 You were so proud of it and that when you joke that. You really were. I was like, She's gone for it. I feel like your issue is that you tried to take it like a shot instead of just like. Nobody

5:26 did she smelt it. I didn't know. True. I should have gone lost.

5:32 No, it's okay. No, you're on the yacht at all - Yeah, that was awesome - That was awesome - Dude, that was amazing - It was that hurt so bad - Okay, I'm gonna go get some eeped shells - Okay -

5:53 Girls take a shot - Yeah, now I feel like in the spirit of Julie Dye - Mm-hmm.

6:03 Obviously, not that tequila.

6:10 Oh.

6:20 Sydney can't take a shot. She's doing dry. Yeah. Yeah. Just being a good girl. It's a mini dry January for doing taking a shot in honor of you. Oh, please. I was actually going to say that

6:31 y'all have to take a shot because that was a epic fail. It wasn't an epic fail. That was epic content. We're going above and beyond here. Digital odd cudders. We go above and beyond our content.

6:45 I don't think everyone in drink ever. That burns. I'm sorry. I really I can all that I was after I'm like already. I thought I had it. I did too. I was confident in mind being water. My mom

6:56 isn't like when I do it like a joke. Tina, close your eyes for this one. Why? I don't know. She's like, don't take shots because when I take shots, it just never ends. Well, you know, I mean,

7:08 my my paperclip pants. Oh, no. This episode. No, I know. But don't let me throw enough or pants Cheers.

7:18 Good for you guys. I legit feel like I'm still gonna throw up - I don't know - Wow, you, how did you - Missy is a gem - Like I chased, like what -

7:29 Oh, that's it? That got my like -

7:33 I'm like, oh really - I know, I know, I'm like - I'm like, that was a really big shot - All, you're right - You know what, I would have threw out the vibe of taking that - And it's not cold -

7:43 'Cause the chill girl - You're getting burned - Like,

7:47 to kill my face - I have to kill my face - I have makeup going down my face - Okay, great idea, Joel -

7:53 That went way better than I could expect it, honestly. That's how we're kicking off this episode - Yeah - You're chaos - You're chaos - You're chaos - That's how we thrive - Yeah - So, let's get

8:05 back into it. What is everyone's New Year's resolution? Can I, I'll go first. So, for all of you guys that don't know, we had a wine night like a month ago, and

8:19 I had one too many glasses of wine and just let me back up. I'm not flexible and I cannot do the splits. But that night, you were really going for it - Can we please put that in the video - I feel

8:34 like we need to like answer - I'll cut it too and then I'll do that - Don't, don't do that, I'm scared.

8:48 And so anyways, when we went over break, Colin was like, everyone needs to go home and learn a skill and then come back and tell us what you learned. So naturally, I'm like, I'm gonna teach

8:57 myself how to do the splits. Well, I'm sad to inform you guys that it didn't happen. So where I'm going with this is my new year's resolution is I'm gonna do the splits if it's the last thing I do

9:09 on this earth before 2020 is over - Well, Jules, I feel like learning to do the splits in like a two-week span is a really lofty goal and I feel like you need to find like a stretch. program that

9:20 you do every day. You know what? I will get you there. We're not just trying to do it once a day. So once a day, 11 o'clock at night after I've had a couple of drinks was my strategic plan over

9:31 break. And it - It didn't

9:36 end well. It didn't end well. So maybe we're going to try a different plan. And also to just be happy in 2023. 2023 is a good year for me. I love that. That's a really good one. Yeah. Misty,

9:46 me I think I am going to try to be a little bit more vocal. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Misty. Yeah. I love that. I know. Thank you. Especially around this place, you've got to say it with your chest.

10:01 Are you in your personal and business life? Yeah. I mean, more so here. I feel like I am more vocal outside of here. Yeah. OK. That is good. I love that. Yeah, I do too. And we'll just shut

10:14 up. So - Oh, that's what I

10:17 was going to say - One of my goals - One of my goals. My work, my work goal is to just shut up because - I talk so much and I'll even like, I have something on my mind, I'm like, I'm gonna tell

10:27 Julie and then I look over and she's like super focused. I'm like, Julian, don't say it, don't say it. 'Cause I know Julie gets so annoyed at me probably just 'cause I'm always like, Hey,

10:36 what's up? She's like, This working, what are you doing? Oh, nothing, just wanna chit chat - Yeah - Boy - That's my toxic trait, my office egg, but anyway, sorry - Your office egg for

10:48 yourself, for yourself, yeah - Oh, we're not gonna get on opposite, please - Can we please - That's exactly what you do wrong - You do wrong -

10:56 That's the next segment of the show - I have PTSD, Julie did

11:03 that - You have it, tell me mine -

11:06 Well, 'cause I thought we were doing like, I thought it was just funny. So, me

11:12 and Julie are not gonna look funny - We're not gonna be fighting there. I was kidding - No, I know, I know. But it's just a funny story now. It's like, I was getting my end year review when we

11:19 were doing all this. So I was sitting here and she's like, she's like, oh, immediately. I have an office egg for you. And I'm like, and she's like, but it's not bad or anything. And she's

11:29 like, my office egg is that you don't schedule out content - And

11:35 I was like, whoa - Shut up - I'm like, you're not doing your job - Yes, you're actually not doing your job - But I'm gonna call the office egg so it doesn't sound like a real story And then I kinda

11:44 lightly say, hey, hey. I was kind of like, I just like, I know a bit. Just 'cause I was like, oh shit, I'm like, she's telling me, fucking get your shit together - Jill's one of the bathroom

11:52 and crying - No, and she's like, well, I hope I didn't hurt your feelings. And I was like, no, it's fine - I really hope - You appreciate the honesty of it. No, but then we just settled on

12:00 it's not like, just calling if you're listening. I do still do my job. But she's like, we just have different styles, like Julie plans our content. By the way, that's another one of my 2020

12:10 food goals. Get better at it.

12:14 She's getting her end of your review on the podcast - You fail to plan, you plan to fail - Ooh -

12:20 I'm

12:24 just kidding - It's anyways, I love it -

12:27 I think I have like two main ones. My first one is to be more like consistent with my health. You guys are like, I work out a lot - I tried to eat healthy during the week, but I have no self

12:38 control because I love food so much. Like when I am like a clean plate girl, if there's food in front of me, I will eat it. I'm a dessert girl. Like I feel like I can't, I almost like on the

12:50 weekends or if I'm out, I completely cross out all the workouts I do because I have no self control. So I'm trying to be a little more

13:00 mindful of when I am like letting myself have a cheat meal or if I'm out being like, okay, like I don't need to finish the food when I'm full, but like if it tastes good, I wanna finish it I will

13:12 eat myself into a coma. So I'm trying not to do that. And then the other is, Lucas put me on a budget - Ooh - How's it going so far - You're what, a - We were just talking about budgets yesterday

13:26 - So we're using mint. It's going well. And so basically, it's, like all of your quote unquote flexible spending. So groceries, eating out, going out to bars, like that's what I need help to

13:40 track on. Again, because I love food and I spend so much money on food and I'm like, we used to do a weekly date night where like every Friday we were going out to dinner and spending like at least

13:50 300, 400. 'Cause we both love food, we love cocktails. And so finally we're like, this coming year, I'm like, okay, maybe we only do that once or twice a month. Like we don't need to do it

14:02 every week. So we're getting better about that. So I mean, I'm excited 'cause I feel like I'm not bad with money, but I am excited to like not spend so forever is that a word?

14:14 Yeah, forversely, can you please have a food blog though? It's serious, like you find all the cool places in your city - You really do - Or you know what, scratch that. When you just make

14:22 reservations and go to cool places, can you please add a plus one for me - Yeah - Yeah, all my reservations and I have three people - Three people, less tools - I'll just add them all to your

14:31 calendar, if you can come, great, if not the race - All third wheels, but third wheels, my middleweight - Yeah, I love it. So those are mine, Julie, what are yours - I love that - So mine is,

14:45 I wanna work on kind of like Misty, speaking up more kind of, this sounds weird, but like leveling up, kind of just changing the perception. Little things that I need to work on are like my

14:59 posture and just like being more professional, like as y'all can see, I haven't worn leggings this week. That's, when I say you, I know That's one of my

15:11 goals, I guess. to invest in myself and my career, because sometimes I feel like I'm so stuck at like 20 year old Julie - Yeah, no I get it - So that's my biggest one. And then side note on Jiu

15:30 Jitsu, I really wanna win a world champion this year - Fuck yeah - Yeah, wait, yes, we're coming. Hurry, you have a competition this month, right - I had to vlog 'cause I'm ankle - Oh -

15:39 Unfortunately, but damn - But your next one - My next super fun - I'm gonna be in the crowd - We're gonna get a sign, yes - I mean next

15:48 one - You're actually gonna, I might get kicked out for being like, let's go - Man -

15:54 So we used to have them at Warehouse Live. We used to have super fights and I got to fight there. It was a lot of fun - Do they do like fight nights - I guess people like anyone can like come, like

16:06 you don't know - That we should do that at Wout headers - Yeah, no - We said Haddle guard throw down I set up the MMA cage. Yeah, you know what's the pie jolt I was kidding - Colin,

16:17 Colin asked if we should sell that yesterday - Oh, I think we're gonna sell it - It's a pain, I don't want, is it - Where is it even sitting in the storage - Storage, back enough, less than money

16:29 - Yeah, that's right. I have a question for y'all. You know how some people are always like, New Year's resolutions, it's not a resolution, it's a goal. Do y'all have like a preference? I

16:41 always think it's so weird when people are like, don't call it a resolution, 'cause they're kind of like the same thing to me. Like the meaning - I know why -

16:50 I've watched the different - You know what - I know - I know - But isn't it so funny to me that like, every year it's like that day, like, okay, we're gonna change our whole life, and then a week

16:59 later everyone's just kind of like, you know, so I'm, I don't know - New Year, not new me - Yeah, right - New Year, not new me - Well, and I feel like the reason people fail is because they

17:08 make them based on the whole year Instead of I feel like I'm sure there's like studies that show this, but for me personally, like I have to look at things in like smaller increments because I think

17:19 things change. Yeah, you're in work changes and you're like changes like so I try and do mine like I so I set my goals. I just focus on like, Hey, the first three months of the year, this is

17:32 what I want to do. And then I come back and I reevaluate like, no, yeah, too much was this too less can I do something different. So I go about it that way. And then I also have some people

17:40 instead of doing a resolution, they have like a word for the year. And that's how they want to like encompass their life whether the word is gratitude. They just want to be more like gracious in

17:50 general or whatever it may be. So yeah, I don't really feel it. I don't understand what the difference now. Yeah, yeah, I'd have to look that up. That's a good way to like that. Because yeah,

17:60 like three months into the year, like for example, in 2022, graduated college, fashion school living in New York, I thought I was going to go I don't know work for Ralph Lauren ended up moving

18:11 back to Houston and now I'm and I'm a happy camper here. So you know, it's like, I don't know, my goals at the beginning of the 2022 and then how I knew 2022 - Right, I actually know all the line

18:20 - I read a book over the break called Traction - And it didn't say - Colin was telling me about it - Yeah, y'all should read it. It's a really, really quick, easy read. But it did say like humans

18:32 cannot focus more than 90 days at a time. So like that's why we set quarterly goals in our businesses because humans can only focus that long. And then after that 90 days, they start losing focus,

18:46 losing momentum, losing just like why they started those goals in the first place - Right - So they reconvene, you look at everything and then you set - I wanted the same thing with like weight loss.

18:57 Like saying in the next year, I wanna lose 10 pounds. Like that, like how are you gonna get there? It makes more sense to say, I want to lose a pound a week over the next. 10 weeks or whatever

19:13 it is. Like it's better. They always say that like it's not so much the end goal. It's the small little goals that get you right to the big one - Yep. I have a question. So what is everyone's

19:25 like, piggybacking off you like your word for the year - Mm hmm - Mine. Do you want to go first - Yeah, you have one - Obviously - Mine is to just be more present - So your word is present - To

19:40 like just be more present in the moment and think, why have two - You know what we should do - And to be more thankful - To be more thankful - We should either write them or print them and like put

19:48 them on our desk or like on our computers so that we can see them - That's a good idea - We know 'cause I'm like feeling down the slums. My life sucks but my life doesn't actually suck - Yeah - You

19:58 know just to be more thankful for like, but I do have 'cause it could be way worse - Yeah - Mm hmm. Let's go this way Oh God, I see this thing. So I don't know. of one word for it, but like,

20:13 level up - Level up. You know that fun guy Beyonce - Vouch for it -

20:41 Vouch for it - Vouch for it - Vouch for it - Vouch for it - Vouch for it - Vouch for it - Vouch for it - Vouch for it - Vouch for it - Vouch for it - Vouch for it - Vouch for it - Vouch for it - Vouch

20:42 for it - Vouch for it - Vouch for it - Vouch for it - Vouch for it - Vouch for it - Vouch for it - Vouch for it - Vouch for it - Vouch for it - Vouch for it - Vouch for it - Vouch for it - Vouch for

20:42 it - Vouch for it - Vouch for it - Vouch for it - Vouch for it - Vouch for it - Vouch for it - Vouch for it - Vouch for it - Vouch for it - Vouch for it - Vouch for it - Vouch for it with

20:45 habits

20:47 and the things that I want to change.

21:13 I think mine would be

21:17 real, I guess. Maybe. I'm always like, go with the flow, not really saying what I wanna do - Yeah - So it's like, that's a huge, really good one - That's a good one - It's like, missing one -

21:29 Yeah, it's like getting out of people pleaser mode - Yeah - Yeah, I struggle so much with that - That thing you posted, like really hit hard with me. I wanna look into that - Yeah, people pleaser

21:40 thing, yeah - It's a good one - Yeah - I think that, I know I struggle with that too. It's hard. I think a lot of women do and, I think it's - Oh, absolutely - More women than anything. And

21:51 then once you become a mom, you just become like, you have to be everything for everyone - Well, yes, so hard to say - Who are you without your kid - Not without, but you know, who is you

22:02 without - Yeah, I struggle with that, your work - So, so much when I was a young mom, one because I was very young and two because. I had three kids and this span of four years, five years. So

22:18 you kind of lose yourself. And that's why I have such a heart for moms and I'm like, don't lose yourself. Like this is in motherhood is the most important thing in your life, but don't lose

22:28 yourself in that because you're gonna come out of that fog and you're gonna be like, well, yeah, 'cause they're crap. Like what kind of like, I mean, she has seven kids and now we're all over

22:39 the age of almost 21 like, you know, I don't know for 30 years. She was raising babies, but now like we're all self-sufficient. You know? And so now it's like, who is Tina without? Yeah.

22:52 Jonathan, Justin. No, you're not gonna

22:55 be in the house. I'm trying to like, who is Tina? Who is Tina? Right, yeah. So she's - She looks like she's living in her life.

23:02 She's living in her life. Whatever Tina did, I feel like Tina did it right because I love how close your family is. She is a superwoman. Yeah, she is. We need to have Tina on Tina's a college.

23:12 She is an amazing human being - Yes, she is - I love her - We do too - Yeah, she's like, she's an honorary team member - Oh, 1000 - Tina and David - Yeah, yeah - Yeah, my dad is like, you know

23:24 what, he always tells me he's like, When's the next event? Like, I got a job out of here - I love him. I love him - He's my favorite too - About a fuse, you know, he thought he was like the

23:36 body guard, not the body guard, but like, he was - He was - You're not - He was - Yeah, and he's like telling people he's like, Where's your badge? We're in your badge. I'm like, That's okay.

29:23 - Yeah. Outside of work, I

29:29 think we're like really trying to like update our house - Ooh, that's a good one - To like do some home improvement stuff - And I feel like it's always like when you like, I'm a big believer that

29:40 when you like come into your home, like you want it to feel like I don't want to feel like stressed out or that I like don't like something. I don't think you have to like love everything in your

29:49 house but you spend so much time there - Right - That you should want it to be what you want - Right - Oh wait, I have another one.

29:58 So this year, are you moving out - Jules is gonna live by yourself -

30:04 Yay - I'm moving to the heights -

30:07 Yay, people are gonna be neighbors - Yeah - Exciting.

30:10 I'll be in my fake next month - Oh shit - Honestly, apartment prices are really low right now because I've been looking into two bedrooms to Lucas and I and they just keep going down. Like there's

30:21 some two bedrooms - I might be looking in your bedroom - There are some two bedrooms in my building - No, you should be many more. We can ride to work together. There's some two bedrooms in my

30:30 building that are only like 100 more than what I'm paying now for my one bedroom - Really - Which is insane. So I think they're just, I think there's - Shit, that'll be worth it - I had me a little

30:39 apartment in the house - I'll have two bedrooms so you can - I love this bedroom - She can have a little getaway - Yeah. I love that - That is what I'm most excited for - That's actually what I'm

30:52 about. I feel like that went right over my head - When I moved here was the first time I lived on my own 'cause when I was living in Atlanta, I was living with roommates like my friends from college.

31:02 And when I moved here, like it's so like, what's the word I'm looking for? Like gratifying. You just feel like you're like, I am like doing that shit. I'm on my own. And I think you really find

31:16 yourself just living on your own and being like, yeah, just a young professional just live in life. It's like the best time ever - Yeah, I'm excited. That's what I'm doing - I'm so happy for you.

31:27 I'm like, Jules, what are you doing - I know - When I hang out, I'm like, Hey, can I come play with Sunny - No, I'm just kidding - You can, any time. She loves friends. Your parents will be

31:35 empty nesters officially - I know my mom is like,

31:40 Pwe, please don't - But I'm like, Mom, we'll just go on the weekends. You know, I'm like, Yeah, if my dad has to work, you come stay and we'll just trolley around the heights - Yeah - You're

31:48 in the second room for your mom - Yeah - Yeah - No, yeah, we've already, we've already compromised on that - Love that - But yeah, sorry, sorry. I keep talking - No, that's a good one - You

31:58 have a lot of my time - Yeah - The opposite. Every time someone says something, I'm like, Oh wait, I have something else to ask. So that's my bad - I love it you.

32:10 In DW, I'm definitely most excited about using your word, like leveling up our events. I feel like, and this is not a bad thing by any means, but we talk about a lot. We don't wanna just be

32:21 known as like the beer and pizza people. Like our vibe will always be fun and energetic and very wild-catter, but that doesn't mean it can't be at the same time, like professional and high-end and

32:36 like that where people are getting their monies worth and things like that. So I'm excited to just like, you know, Jake had a good point where we were talking about the new venue and he's like,

32:45 it's just gonna like 10X the vibe 'cause it is - It's so nice - I think people are gonna walk in and be like, Damn, like they spent a lot of money, they put a lot of work into this, this just

32:55 looks. And it's still, it's gonna be like nothing they've ever seen before, it's still fun - It looks next level - Yeah, it is, it's leveling up and it looks next level. So I'm excited for that.

33:08 Outside of DW,

33:10 I guess it's twofold 'cause you guys know I travel a ton 'cause I have 800 weddings. I don't have as many weddings. This year, thank God, I have a couple - How do you have more friends that - I

33:20 know, I have two more that are getting married, but other than that, we, so instead of doing so many smaller trips that I kind of have to go on because it's a wedding of one of a friend or

33:31 something I'm in or something, I were taking a bigger trip.

33:37 in September.

33:40 Yeah - Very excited. So I'm excited to like, on one end, spend more time at home. After my travels around like Q1 after these weddings, I'm not really going anywhere, like all summer. So I'm

33:51 excited to like spend more time here. And then I just got like the big blowout trip at the end of September - Wait, where in Italy are you guys going - We're going for a while. So I think we're

33:59 gonna do Venice, Florence, and Rome, and then spend like a couple of nights in Tuscany - I was gonna say you have to - Yeah, 'cause Lucas has not been to Italy at all. So - Oh, you've been there

34:09 - Yeah, but it was, I mean, it's been, it'll have been 10 years, 'cause I went after I graduated college. So I went in 2013. So it's been a while - I'm sure it's a little different - But we're

34:19 going with my parents for 10 days. So I'm excited for that. So it'll be a good like, big trip instead of so many small ones that I feel like obligated to go to - Honestly, that's a flex. Like you

34:31 have so many friends - You have so many friends - I can count all my friends on one hand - Well, I mean, I just, I think I've done. and like lived so many places. Like I have so many chapters of

34:42 my life - Yeah, I'm sure - And in all of those, I've met like really wonderful people that I feel like I'm new friends with ever. So I have home friends, college friends, and Houston friends,

34:51 and there's, you know. Plus I feel like you're super outgoing and super friendly and everybody learns to be your friends - And grab

35:00 a key to you - Everyone's to be your best friend. Also though, I like, I'm just kidding. I can count all my friends on two hands 'cause I consider you guys my friends whether you wanna be my

35:06 friend or not - Or whether you wanna be my friend or not - We're friends - Yes. I mean, I think that there's also something to say about, I feel like you can be friendly with your coworkers and you

35:16 love hang up them during the day, but sometimes you don't wanna hang out with them after work or outside of work, but like, I love it when we have my night. And like when we meet randomly at the

35:26 bars in the house, I love that - And that was my favorite thing ever when we were at the pool and I'm like, oh shit, that's my coworker - I know, like what are you doing - And so fun. We should

35:37 have a pool date this summer. Yeah, we should - Can we have an game now - Can we just hang out more - Yeah - Honestly, like that's what we're getting - Bad bitches Club New Year's Evolution is to

35:46 hang out more - Yeah, that's what we're getting - And no excuses. No excuses, you know, like I'm sitting there like, Yeah, it's me -

35:52 No, no, no - But I'm looking, I'm missing this down, actually. If, if I'm on that down - If I'm on that door - If I can get out the door - Well, here's the thing. I feel like our problem is

36:36 the new booster 'cause everyone's gonna be like.

36:39 Yeah - Yeah - Yeah. No - That's the idea - If we have it at the snoover, you won't, it will be - Oh yeah guys, big news. I feel like by the time this comes out, realistically, we'll probably

36:57 based - Mom - But - Well they - Mommy - After we

37:02 finished that - After we finished that episode, I'm like, it took everything inside of me to not be like - Hey, mommy - Oh my God - Oh okay. And last but not least - No, Eric, no shit - No shit,

42:10 they're living in, you know what I mean? You know? So, and then whatever hobbies - That's for me, next in the kitchen - Some Salina, whatever you're interested in, you know. So somebody picks

42:19 an activity. No, whatever that is - Whatever that is - No, I didn't figure that

42:24 out honestly - I've figured that out honestly - But you know what I'm saying - Yes - We should have a great idea I think an idea. I don't know, like what do you do for fun?

42:38 I'll have to get back to you - This is like, I'll get back to you

43:07 we're gonna talk about that - At Sir LaTob and City Center, they do cooking class - It's so fun - Yeah, you've done it - I do the one in the world - It's so fun - I told Julie to do it - I don't do

43:15 it - You can do it at lunch time. We should go on a Friday - That would be so fun - The whole team should do it - That's a

43:26 team at the event - Oh, maybe - Next Friday - Let's see - Except, you know, everyone is, not everyone, some people are picky, Well, yeah, that's true - Because they do like - Who are you - Who

43:32 are you - Not Julie. Everyone likes best stuff - Yeah, they do it - They do Italian all the time - Yeah, they do it - That's a like, common theme - But on Friday for lunch, that would be so fun -

43:43 That would be really fun - We should just set up a camera - So you like, cook it and then eat it - Yes, and eat it - And they like, they have everything for you and you're kind of in little, it's

43:50 one kitchen, but you're in little pairs or two or three people and you make, they teach you how to make it and you make it - And if it's like Boston that you, they have like wine or you can bring

43:60 your own - Yeah, you can bring your own - That would be really fun - That's a good vlog - Yeah, we should just set up the camera at the end of the, make sure the place doesn't like go up and things

44:11 or anything - Yeah, that'd be fun - I don't know if you guys are like cookers - Cookers - Cookers - Cookers, cookers - And the whole place down - Cookers - That would be really fun. See, now we're

44:21 at the Whales of Turning - We're gonna do a lot of productivity - Another thing in City Center, they have a scape room there.

44:28 I've never done it, but I feel like with this group of people, everyone is so strong and bold in their personalities, so I just all feel like by the end - They would not go, Oh, I said I can hate

44:38 each other - Exactly - I hate it - That's what I'm getting at - Like Julie and Colin - Wait, what would you hate about me - No, I don't hate, no, I'm not saying I would hate you. I'm saying like

44:48 - Collectively - Everyone would just - Because me and Colin would argue and we'd like crap out of it - No, no, no, no - Well, and John, our resident engineer would be like, guys, think,

44:58 process, then go get it - Yeah, shut the fuck up, this is the right way. And then we'll be there right, and then we'll just be like, beer chaos - And then I feel like Misty would pop in and be

45:08 like, I found this key. And we'd be like, oh - Yeah, no be fun - I feel like I have to be out with you - I've been out for like 20 minutes - Wait, that could help me - No, yeah - And Julie and

45:19 Escape are as a team could either make or break us, honestly. That's like the ultimate test - We have to do it on Friday, so if it goes bad, get the weekend to like. recover from press. Yeah.

45:29 So we're not in the next day, like still holding your breath. Yeah.

45:34 Honestly, I think I would just give up and sit in the middle of the room until somebody figured out. Yeah. That's probably why I wouldn't, I wouldn't surprise other games because I would be

45:45 frustrated. I'd be the first one dead.

45:51 I'm like, who would be the first one dead? He's like, honestly, probably you. Sorry. Well, I see it. I've never Googled this, but I feel like there's probably ways you can Google like the

46:00 most effective way to escape game. Like not, not like cheat things. Have you guys done it before? I've done it before. I've done it. I've done it. I've done it. I've done it in some way. I've

46:07 done it once.

46:09 You know, the most effective people know I know. What if I get stuck in there? Yeah, look for things for 10 minutes and then depending on what you find, try and figure it out. Or like, is there

46:19 one person in charge? You split up in two teams and kind of go that way and then come back and like say what each one found and try to it together. I don't know what the best process is. I'm sure

46:32 there's something that works well for people, but that would be fun though. We'll add it to the list. Right after this, we have to make the list that we forgot. I'm about to go back in there and

46:42 just start adding events to people's calendars. Create a notion page on the GW home group. Next week, we're doing cooking class.

46:51 One, Misty's in charge of calling and juice calendars. Clear their calendars. New next Friday, we're going to cooking class. Just put it on there and we'll be like, we approve that. Yeah.
