Pessimistic at Best

Would you guys believe me if I told you Josie paid a visit to the KK post-pandemic before me? Honestly me neither—but it’s true folks—just her and one hundred and twenty of her nearest and dearest! So glad I wasn’t waiting in that line and, more importantly, so glad I got to see my mountain girl! In this episode, we bitch about living in outdoorsy cities in the summertime, reminisce on middle school mems and our countless Facebook albums filled with Apple Store pics, and thank god we didn’t have TikTok back in our heyday, imagine the receipts!

You know what they say—what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas—and for good reason. Have you made the trip out to Sin City? Well, let me spare you because it’s honestly just an expensive version of the Wisconsin Dells. Everything’s neon, everyone’s sunburnt and walking around in flip flops and, for some reason, Bruno Mars can be heard everywhere you go.

Why do we glamorize being busy? Like seriously, when did we decide being busy was cute? Today on the podcast Sophia and I chat about how much we loathe (but also kind of love?) being busy. Here we are, so desperately wishing to be those girls who wake up with enough time for a cup of coffee (or two!) before our morning workout class that we somehow manage to squeeze in before starting our day. We want to have packed schedules and full social calendars, or at least we think we do. But the truth is, being busy is overrated and overwhelming, so like, let's relax maybe? Idk

We’re runners, but do we actually enjoy running? That’s a loaded question. And yet here we are, signing our lives away to Hal Higdon himself with plans to run 26.2 for the second time this November. So, in honor of signing up for our next race, this week on the podcast Kayla and I chat about one of our favorite (and somehow simultaneously least favorite) pass-times. We swap horror stories, bitch about our current training program, and fawn over our favorite runner-friendly social media app, Strava. Lace up your trainers and get to listening! Bonus points if you tune in to this epi during your morning jog.

Even if you didn’t miss *me*, you did miss out on watching the Bucks win in overtime at Silk Exotic, dinner at SUR without a single Lisa Vanderpump sighting, turning twenty-five on the Tipsy Cow dance floor, and spending lots of time with the a-dults—let's recap shall we?

It’s almost July and you know what that means—it’s time to check in on our 2021 intentions! I have to be honest, this epi was a little bit of a gut check because I quite literally haven’t been living up to, well, ANY of my intentions. But you know what? That’s why we check in halfway through the year—to feel sorry for ourselves and then to get serious with it, okay? So here goes!

Oh, and P.S. This is also the end of season one! Are you sad? I’m sad! But I guess there’s really no reason to be sad because there’s gonna be a season two, hooray! Anyway, you probably deserve a vacation, I most certainly do, so let’s get to it! See you in August love bugs!

Did we recently record an episode on the many downsides to traveling? Yes! Are we going to take it one step further and record another all about the absolute worst place on earth—the airport? You bet your ass we are! As you may have guessed, I just got back from an incredibly sweet little vacay and let me just tell you, everything that could’ve possibly gone wrong with my flights, did! How sweet is that? Give this epi a listen and you just might find out!

Summer is overrated. It was cool when we were kids because it meant three months of absolute freedom, but now? Now summer just means feeling way worse about not being able to spend time outdoors because you’re stuck inside for eight (plus!) hours a day doing something tacky like answering emails. Don’t get me wrong, I like summer just fine, but imo, people give this hot, sweaty, sticky, bug-ridden time of year way too much credit. That being said, H.A.G.S.

When applied to the act of traveling, the phrase, ‘it’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey,’ is actually so stupid. Traveling sucks. The entire process is a great big fat pain in the ass from start to finish and nothing, I mean NOTHING ever goes according to plan.
