Speaker 5I looked at the rundown today and I thought my birthday would be in there and it was not.
And I was like, oh God, do I say something?
Do I remind them?
Speaker 4I didn't have to do that.
You'll remembered.
Speaker 6Thank you.
Here it's for the ball.
Let's here it for easy.
Speaker 1We did promise.
Speaker 7You know.
One thing we love about Thursday episodes is we can do whatever we want.
Speaker 3We wants like a mom and dad are on vacation, the dogs at like the Doggie Hotel, and the kids get to just throw a house party exactly.
Speaker 7Yes, It's like Aaron's party.
Can get it, Come get it, Aaron Carter.
People around the book, everyone to go to sing oh his song oh my god, I miss that one.
Yeah, I mean the video was basically a feature film.
Anyways, so we sometime we lean into the games on this podcast, we lean into giving advice.
Speaker 1We got a little bit of everything on Thursdays.
Speaker 3Little sugar and a little spice.
Speaker 7Mmm, little everything nice.
So we talked about this game on Monday.
We played it on my birthday around the pool and Tanya really took to it.
Speaker 3Really loved it.
Speaker 6At first, she was playing it incorrectly.
Speaker 1At first, she didn't quite get the concept.
Speaker 3And now that I do.
I played it all weekend with my family.
We played on Sunny's birthday and it's just it's been a big hit.
Speaker 7So the game is basically like one person in the group closes their eyes.
Everyone else one person holds up a number and you agree on a number between one and ten.
You don't say it out loud, you just hold it up, so like, for instance, I could Tanya's eyes are closed, I hold up before got.
Speaker 1It, Tanya.
Speaker 7We're gonna say open your eyes, and then Tanya is gonna give us a category.
Speaker 1It can be anything.
Speaker 7It could be like a description of your first day at work, and you, as the people who know the number, are trying to describe what that category is in that number between one and ten, one being the worst, ten being the best.
So, for instance, when we first did it, Haley chose fast food restaurants and Tanya's and the number was seven.
Tanya chose Carl's Junior, and Haley was a little confused by that ranking.
And so then when it was all said and done, Tanya said, Carls Junior c A R L S j R.
That's seven, which is not how you played, but she got it.
Speaker 6How you play If that's how you played it, you.
Speaker 3Know, yeah right, yeah right, I should have known that.
Yeah, the champion, Yeah exactly.
Speaker 1It's if you played it that way, everyone would win.
Speaker 7So anyways, you wanted to play, you wanted to try it on the podcast.
Speaker 3Yes, and I would love to be the first one to guess.
Speaker 1Okay, but you have to you have a do you have a good category?
Speaker 8Two?
Speaker 7Okay, So Tanya is gonna this is gonna translate way better on the video that Crystal edits.
Speaker 8But also listeners can play along with Tanya because they also don't know the number.
Speaker 6True, So true, great.
Speaker 7You're all playing with Tanya Tanya's team.
Okay, so Easton, you choose the number since it's your birthday between one and ten?
Speaker 6Right, mm?
Speaker 1Okay, got it?
Speaker 3Yes, I'm looking now, yes, okay, the category is candy.
Oh yes, and I like candy.
Speaker 6Milky Way good one, Mark.
Speaker 3I'm thinking it's definitely above a five.
Speaker 6Do we all give one?
And then she makes an official yea yeah, ok do you have one?
Speaker 4Uh, Jolly Ranchers, mm hmmm mm hmm.
Speaker 1I'm gonna say orange Starburst.
Speaker 6Please take us through your thought process.
Speaker 3So the Milky Way, I was thinking it's like a seven because who doesn't love a new game chocolate Caramelly fight, Jolly Rancher, I think is a one between the one and the eight.
I'm really thrown Becca.
Choosing Orange Starburs leads me to believe it's not Red Star Wars, which would be a ten, or a Pink, which would be a nine.
Orange is kind of mid.
I'm gonna say six.
Speaker 9Yes, you are really good at the game that Yeah, so it's a real high because you kind of have to find the average because because you're kind of guessing, yeah, like what.
Speaker 1Well, everyone's got different opinions, everyone opinions, and you're also.
Speaker 7Me to.
Speaker 3Fruity Suckable is like the worst camp.
Speaker 5I love Jolly Ranchers, but I thought you were so so on.
I thought you were six seven.
Speaker 3On them, not six seven, more like one twoday.
Speaker 6All right, so let's go next.
Speaker 1Okay, so close, you're picking the number?
Speaker 3Okay?
Is everybody ready?
Speaker 1Yep?
Hold one?
Speaker 2No, there's only time Cricket got it?
Speaker 3Okay, that's sorry to say.
Speaker 1Is there a point five?
Okay?
Speaker 3Mark?
Speaker 1What's our category?
Speaker 8Oh gosh, our category is Taylor Swift Songs.
Speaker 3Oh that's an excellent category.
I've not played with it.
I cannot wait to take that one home with me.
I'm gonna say blank space.
Speaker 10M okay to me, that is a solid song.
Upper tier, I'm gonna say not el each tier.
Champagne Problems takes a little higher.
Speaker 6I think takes a little bit higher than I was what I was thinking, because I was almost in the six area like before.
Champagne Problems lifts us up a little bit.
Speaker 4Easton, Uh, I'm going to say Invisible String.
Speaker 6Oh, that raises is even higher.
So I'm between eight and nine right now.
Eight nine.
I'm going to follow Easton's lead and go with nine.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 10Yeah, you guys, I'm so impresed.
Speaker 3Blank Space was like one of her best songs.
Speaker 8Seven on that one, and then she brought me up to an eight, and he brought me up to a nine.
Speaker 7Well, because I was thinking of two ends, No, because that's a ten for him.
Speaker 1That's it's on his top.
Speaker 7Yes, So, and then I was gonna say Cruel Summer, which I also feel like he is on.
Speaker 6Okay, okay, cool sory would be good.
Speaker 3I was thinking blank Space was.
Speaker 6It's a little it's one of those songs that I just off drilled.
Speaker 8Shake it off would be much lower than that.
Yeah, what certain songs have been drilled into my Sarahbellum from working at KISSFM that I never need to hear them again.
Speaker 6I've heard the heck out of them.
Speaker 1Honestly.
Speaker 7That category would be hard with, like really like a low number, you know, I would play it.
Speaker 6Yeah, we have a few.
Speaker 1Alright, you want to close.
Speaker 4I'm closing my eyes.
You pick mm hmm, okay, ye're good, all right.
Speaker 6What's the category?
East?
Speaker 4The category is cartoon characters.
Speaker 3Hmmm, I don't know many?
Speaker 6You know so many?
Speaker 3Okay?
You know in Cinderella, how there's all those mice that like help her out with chores and stuff, not the main ones, but like one of the twenty.
Speaker 4Named not gus.
Yeah, yeah, okay.
Speaker 3Yeah, excellent clue.
Speaker 6Do you have someone working on something fog horn, leghorns.
Speaker 4Little buddy, Wow, the chicken little chicken hawk.
Speaker 6Yeah, the one who wants to be a chicken hawk.
Speaker 7I'm saying the parrot from Jaffar's Parrot Iago.
Speaker 4Whoa wow, quite the leap.
Yeah, okay.
I was thinking it was low because we've got characters you don't know the names of.
But then the Yaga is a main cast.
Speaker 5Yeah that didn't know the name of Yaga.
Speaker 4I'm going with two.
Speaker 7Wait, mine was more because he's kind of a bad villain and he's like just a sidekick.
Speaker 1I didn't know he was.
Speaker 3I didn't know he's iconic.
Speaker 7Oh sorry, I'm glad.
Speaker 1You bypassed by.
Speaker 6Lack of knowledge for your all right, can.
Speaker 3I feel a lot of ques, But I have a really good category.
Speaker 1Tell me, I'll do it.
Speaker 6You don't pick the category picture.

Speaker 1Was yeah, that's what I was gonna All right, close your eyes.
Speaker 3I could close them I see you opening them.
Speaker 4I can't see Mark as I picked, and I already picked a number.
Okay, well, uh.
Speaker 6Okay, ah, okay.

Speaker 6That's why I went with Catherine.
Speaker 1Just had to ignore what he said, Shepherd.
Speaker 3You gotta ignore that.
Speaker 1We swept it for it was really a thrill.
Speaker 6I don't know.
Speaker 7I'm curious if our listeners got these right.
Speaker 5This is like our cycles are synced up.
Like I didn't get to that crazy.
Speaker 1That was crazy.
Speaker 7I felt a lot of I don't ever want to go last again.
That was too much.
Speaker 8Well, let's take a break and then we'll decide if we're going to continue or we're gonna.
Speaker 3Okay, okay, we'll be right back.

Speaker 6It is fun.
It is fun.
Speaker 7It's fun, and it's really a high when you get it.
Yeah, and I also I am so proud of the progress you made from counting the letters to where you are now.
Thank you.
Speaker 3I'm not nothing if I'm nothing.
I'm not a student.
I'm not nothing but a student.

Speaker 6I'm nothing if not a student.
That's what you're trying to say.
Speaker 1That was wordy.
You had a lot of little extra words in there.
Speaker 8Anonymous, Dear Tanya, Becca, Mark, and Easton.
I got married last month in Mexico.
It was awesome.
I didn't expect the emotional roller coaster afterwards, but it was joyous.
But there was some sadness that lingered because some of her close friends didn't show up, even two ex roommates I cared about deeply.
They canceled last minute and did not reach out afterwards.
Speaker 6It made me.
Speaker 8Realize some relationships I valued may have been more one sided than I want to admit.
I haven't heard about this side of getting married, the mix of gratitude, disappointment, reflection on friendships.
I'd love your advice and how to process these feelings and how to move forward without bitterness but still honor what I'm feeling.
Thank you for all the meaningful conversations you share on the podcast.
Listening to you both always makes me feel seen and grounded.
Speaker 6What's nice?
Speaker 7Well, first of all, congratulations, Yeah, you're so happy for you.
Speaker 3We love weddings in Mexico.
Speaker 1We love a destination Mexico wedding.
Did you have this happen at all?
Speaker 3Not at my wedding per se, But I think the whole experience of like getting engaged, getting married, you do put all these expectations and like you see everybody else do it, so you have all these like things in your head, and like, especially in your thirties, it's different with than when you're in your twenties.
I mean like I never had I didn't do a bridal shower, I didn't do there was like we didn't do an engagement party, you know what I mean.
Like there's just stuff we didn't do because it was just like it's just so much.
And then you do like you feel like, oh, I'm disappointed that I didn't.
I couldn't pull it together and do that for myself, you know what I mean.
It's like you're only gonna have that once in your life.
And I think you just put so much expectation.
There's so much expectation on everything that it can lead to disappointment and so it's like I think, and also the post wedding blues is like such a thing because you spend so much time and energy into this.
You know, if it's destination, it's a weekend, right, and then it's over and you just like have this crash.
And it's so true.
I feel like a lot of people don't talk about all the emotional ups and downs that come with this season of life.
Even though it's the majority of it's high, right and you're like riding a high, there are these like these roller coasters and these disappointments, and I think it they're totally normal and they're totally valid.
I was really hurt.
I had some people that couldn't make it that did hurt my feelings.
But the end of the day, it's like those people that couldn't make it, they had to make a choice, you know, and at the end of it, they like regretted it and they're like, I wish I would have just like not done this work thing.
And I think you you can figure out, you know, what relationships you want to keep and what relationships you don't, And I feel like that your wedding is like a really good test of that.
Speaker 7Yeah, I think that destination weddings there, it's a little more effort and time and money.
Speaker 1Going to them.
Speaker 7I think that what you experienced to people that you care about a lot, canceling last.
Speaker 3This minute is crazy and.
Speaker 7I don't know the reasoning, so all I have is what I have, which is that they cancel lust minute and didn't reach out.
I find that to be very rude and inconsiderate to you, because when you're planning a wedding, you're accounting for every person that says they're going to be there.
You're counting for their meal, their seats, they're everything just about them their part in it.
So I feel really sad that they first of all canceled and then also didn't reach out.
And I think maybe that's a sign of they're not a friendship that you need to move forward with.
If they didn't even take the time to congratulate you or share their sadness and missing out on your weekend.
Yeah, and if you need some closure on it, I think you just can reach out and say, hey, I have been thinking about this, and I understand it was a destination and maybe too much for y'all to get there, but I'm really sad that I haven't heard from y'all, and I just I needed to express that if we can move forward in this friendship.
Speaker 3And like you do this thing in your head where you're like, oh, like I went to their wedding, so they're for sure gonna come to mine.
And then when they don't like you, also, that's like a letdown and a disappointment because you're like, oh, I thought our relationship was this and you clearly don't.
Speaker 10Yeah.
Speaker 3So I definitely had several of those where I was like, oh, dang, like, okay, it is.
It's very eye opening, and I think it's a good lesson in life.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 7And I again, I think if there are people that you care about and you want to have relationships with, I think you it warrants a conversation because I do think a wedding is a pivotal moment in your life and the people that are there for that.
It's almost like who's going to be in this next season with me carrying us through our marriage and you know, like being there for the highs and the lows.
And I think if you want those people for to be there now and this season of life, you have a conversation.
But I also think if if you feel ready to let go of those relationships, then this is a time of going, Okay, I'm entering a new chapter and the people that were there are my people, and I don't need everyone who was a part of past seasons of my life to be part.
Speaker 1Of my life now.
Yeah, but sure to focus on the joy.
Speaker 5There is a dude I was working with a lot and hanging out with and can you Alison, really we invite him to our wedding and then the day of like, as I'm like walking, I was like taking my phone out of my pocket to like walk down the aislds like, hey, bro, not gonna make it sorry, Like like I was having like a you know, watching a football game or something, and we like I hung out them like two times after that or maybe even once, and like I haven't that was the end of the friendship basically, and maybe that would have happened anyway, but like I was, we still talk, like I still talk about it.
Speaker 4That was like eight years ago, and I'm like, remember how Austin didn't come to the wedding.
Speaker 7I was kind of you know, yeah, Well, I also think there's also a lack of respect of texting you on the day, Like, which is crazy to to not give you any heads up before but then to break the news like on the day.
Speaker 1Is it just shows character?
Like that's a character flaw.
Speaker 3Yeah, because I might trying to think of like obviously things come up, but I'm like, oh, if you're sick.
I still think if somebody were sick, I'd be like, come on, let's go wow rally.
Speaker 1Well, they might not.
I don't know that.
Speaker 7If someone's like really sick, I don't know that I want them spreading their germs around.
Speaker 6I would this morning.
Speaker 3I tried to kick him out of the building on my wedding day.
If you're coming, Like if I invited you to my wedding and you're coming and I'm so excited you're coming and you're sick, I'd rather you come sick.
Speaker 6You're very sensitive to germs though I am.
Speaker 3But on my wedding day, Like, who cares if you get sick after your wedding day.
You get sick on your honeymoon, am I My honeymoon was months after.
Speaker 6I'm just saying not everyone, but my way.
Speaker 3We should normalize that because going on a honeymoon right after wedding seems so crazy.
Speaker 4I thought, even turning your wedding and do a super spreader normal Yeah.
Speaker 7And I think if you get sick on someone's wedding day, you text someone that's not the brider groom, yeah, and like have them kind of figure out how to deliver the news, because I think the bridergroom having to take on not only reading that and it throwing them off in their vibe, but also having.
Speaker 1To know what to do with that information is not fair.
So don't be that person.
Speaker 7And also don't go super spread your sickness and what unless you mascot and sit in the very back and then leave.
Speaker 1I don't want that so.
Speaker 3For your wedding, but you better be there.
Speaker 8And I see it from Paulina.

Speaker 3Okay, an average between ten and the mash potatoes are getting me real low.
You said, what green bean castle?
I don't love that either?
Three, no, four, five, five mashed potatoes out of a carton.
Speaker 7Sometimes they slap you were such a food snob.
Speaker 1Yes, potato, potato, wouldn't even knowshed.
Speaker 3Potato and hot water.
Speaker 11And then you put the I'm busy.
Speaker 7And you want to know if someone served you instant mashed potatoes and a pan, you would not know.
Speaker 5I was thinking, real mashed potatoes are to me a ten, which is twice as good as five.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 7Oh, and actually casserole is like it's not everyone's favorite, but it's delicious.
Speaker 1And the castle is so gross.
You said not bad when I said it.
Speaker 7Your reaction right off the bat, I was like, oh, she's gonna gets five, like not bad but not my favorite, and the yams.
Speaker 6Yams like I can take her leave yams?
Speaker 1What would be a five to you?
Cranberry sauce?
Speaker 6I thought about cranberry.
Speaker 3Cranberry sauce or like um, perhaps some dry stuffing.
No, specifically yes would be like a two no because I'd still eat it.
Speaker 6Okay.
Speaker 7I think stuffing in general would be a five for me, like like.
Speaker 3Like some sort of like pie, like a cherry pie.
Ten apple pie is a ten.
Speaker 6Ten pumpkin pies of five pie thrill me?
Speaker 3Not getting it right?
We got it?
Speaker 6And on fish finishing strong eyes are closed.
Speaker 1You have a category?
Speaker 6Yes, I do.
Speaker 1Okay, wait did you see it?
Shoot?
Speaker 7Okay, I was showing the.
Speaker 4Okay, got it?
Speaker 1Okay?
Speaker 6Clear, yep.
Clear.
Musicians is my category.
Musicians would be my opinion on musicians.
I don't know.
Would it be how popular they are in current pop culture?
I don't know.
Speaker 4It's for you to determine how many letters are in their name.
Speaker 6Right, It could be that who's going first?
Speaker 3I think we're all thinking.
Speaker 6I understand that we have an obligation to the listener.
Often I have.
Speaker 3One in mind, but I I don't think it's going to get us where we need to be.
Speaker 1Uh, we'll have to speed.
This is deafening silence.
Speaker 3This what's hard.
It's hard.
It's hard because for several reasons.
Okay, it's just hard.
Speaker 6That's the main reason.
Speaker 3Yeah, okay, I got one, all right, here we go Maroon five.
Speaker 8Maroon five, I think is the kind of the height of mediocrity.
So I would put them at about a five.
So that's my starting point for this conversation.
Plus they're an older band.
They have some popularity now, but they're twenty one years as a band.
Of course, formally Caris Flowers.
So I'm starting at about a five.
And then we're gonna see what Becca and Easton say to guide me if I should go up or down or stay right where I am.
This is me vamping, because neither Easton nor Beca look like they have anything on the tip of the tongue.
Speaker 5Everyone I keep thinking of it is this is too high.
We're blessed with so many great artists.
Speaker 1So many I just don't know what.
Speaker 7Oh, I'm such a good starting point.
Speaker 3Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I have another one there, take it.
Speaker 1Yeah, throw me one, throw me a bone.
Speaker 10I'm gonna say, Tom Petty, Tom Petty, how interesting now?
Speaker 8Tom Petty is a legend who has passed on.
Yes, but I would put him in a higher tier than Ruin five, just because I enjoy a handful of his songs.
All of his songs.
I'm not a stand for Tom Petty, but I enjoy him.
So that's putting me a little higher.
That's putting me up in the six seven range.
Six seven And now Becca is going to drive it home.
Speaker 6That was me is going to drive it home.
Speaker 5I think so when you would put at the number we have chosen, which I almost.
Speaker 4Said out left, is uh Eric Clapton.
Speaker 8Eric Clapton, No, I can't stand there.
Speaker 4Wow, here's the thing.
Speaker 8But that's a hard thing because he's like, you know, it's a guitar players or whatever, but he's also going off the deep end.
Speaker 4He separated the art from the artist.
Speaker 8I cannot separate the art from there.
When that artist comes on my radio, it's going off.
But I see what you're trying to accomplish, though, So you're trying to drag me higher.
It seems like you're trying to use my age.
That's where we get Tom Petty or Clapton from I was thinking more current artists.
Speaker 3Personally, I could give you one more current artist to really tip him over.
Great, you think that's a bad one to give him.
Speaker 7If it's not, then I am absolutely baffled.
Speaker 1If that doesn't confuse him, but I don't know.
Speaker 3I'll keep it to myself, all right.
Speaker 7No, actually share it, Share it with the class because I'm curious.
Speaker 8Cali Ucciese Kaliichi Wow.
Interesting because that drags me a little lower.
I think that's another Yeah.
Speaker 4Singer been ignored, all right, because.
Speaker 6You two are trying to drag me higher.
Speaker 8So I'm going to say she's like what she left gum under our counter about five years ago?
Speaker 6Do you think?
Speaker 7So that's funny?
Okay, so you want to be you want me to go current?
It's current Maroon five, yes.
Speaker 8But that's part of it is there are current with quotes around.
If they're still touring, they're still active, they're still putt up music.
Infactally have a song right now that's getting airplay with somebody else.
Speaker 6I forget who.
Speaker 1Backstreet Boys.
Speaker 6Okay, so dragging me lower again, they're not currently relevant.
Speaker 1They just sold out the sphere.
Speaker 10Yeah, like days they're like banging, but they're a novelty act.
Speaker 8They're they're a retro act.
Same thing with them.
Speaker 3I'm about to walk out.
Speaker 5I have an idea that this is an artist that, based on data, is massive.
But I know how Mark feels about this person, which would knock it down a little bit.
Huh to where I think we might Okay, and that is uh Sneadville, Tennessee's own Morgan wallen See.
Speaker 8I can't stand Morgan.
Yes, I don't understand how he has a career.
Speaker 4But you can't deny.
Speaker 8Yes, but he's extremely popular.
That's exactly right.
He's extremely popular in hisself out stadiums.
People tend to look the other way when people are racious.
Speaker 6Monster.
Speaker 8Okay, So I'm thinking we gotta go.
I think I'm saying seven.
Speaker 6Yeah.
Speaker 11Wow.
Speaker 7So I went Tom Petty only for free Falling because I thought it's a classic song.
He has classic music, but he's not like ten.
Speaker 6Yeah, that's true.
That's true.
Speaker 1And it gave me a little hight from the Maroon five five.
Speaker 3Was like they were peak in the nineties.
Yes, and they're just a little bit below now.
Speaker 6Which is it came along in two thousand and four.
Speaker 3I'm just saying Calucies is like breaking records and like doing crazy.
Speaker 6She's like a last time with Caluci's on our radio station.
Speaker 3I don't that doesn't matter, it doesn't, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1It's seven to you.
Speaker 6Ah, that's a great question.
Speaker 1Would you say, like doci is the seven.
Speaker 6In the seven range?
Speaker 3Oh my god, I can't.
Speaker 1I'm just saying of.
Speaker 6Like people that Ravenna.
Speaker 3That's actually pretty good.
Speaker 1I know that is.
Speaker 3I know.
I wish you were right here.
Speaker 6So anyway, it's.
Speaker 7Hard with current artists now because a lot of them have a one hit that we sing for a long time and then we don't hear from them again.
Speaker 8Well, maybe I should have been more specific, maybe like maybe rock artists or current pop artists or rap artists regardless, would Alex.
Speaker 6Warren had probably a little higher based on the run nine.
Speaker 1That's actually I think that's a good seven.
Speaker 6That's not bad.
Speaker 5I personally he's a hard seven, but I ended.
But also he's another one, like you said, he's just breaking records and everything.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 1Wow, good time.
Well thanks for bringing it home because.
Speaker 6We went we got it.
What's the name of that game.
Speaker 3It's just Wavelength.
Speaker 1No, that's what.
Speaker 7There's an actual board game called Wavelength.
That's just called the number game.
Speaker 6The number game, the ratings game, the ranking is game.
Speaker 1Yeah, rankings, rankings, ratings.
Speaker 7Maybe you can come up with something that that is associated with the podcast, but we'll work on that.
Speaker 10Yeah.
Speaker 7Yeah, we'll probably never return to this conversation, but we'll try.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 1That's all for now, Easton, Happy birthday.
Speaker 3Day.
Speaker 1We love you all.
Speaker 7Have a wonderful weekend and happy November.
Speaker 3Happy weeked month.
Speaker 1Oh wow, the month of Wicked.
Speaker 3Goodbye, goodbye,
