| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Curious Me podcast with your host, Mindy Musliman and Emily Fersela. |
| 0:04.7 | Do you ever say to yourself, I wonder, if you've got questions about life, we do too. |
| 0:10.4 | On each episode, we dive into the things that make us say, hmm. |
| 0:13.8 | So let's scratch that curiosity itch and dive into today's show. |
| 0:20.1 | Welcome back to another episode of Curious Me. |
| 0:23.2 | You are here joining Emily Fricela. |
| 0:26.1 | That's me. |
| 0:26.8 | The other voice you will hear is Mindy Musselman, who has a little PSA. |
| 0:33.5 | Let's just get that out of the gate right now. |
| 0:36.2 | Our PSA about our sound today is that we are actually zooming this one again. We're going back to our, what would you call it? Pandemic days. Pandemic days. And zooming because I ended up working later than expected tonight. And it just worked better for us to hop on here. So you know how we bragged about our great sound like the last two weeks? |
| 0:56.0 | That was a tease. You're not going to get it this week. This week is going to be typical echoey like Zoom sound. But it would be worth it. Yeah. It was kind of weird though anyway. So you guys, you know, we've had the studio done for a while. but the staircase that goes up to the studio, we wanted |
| 1:11.4 | to piano key it, which means it's black on the steps, on the part you step on, and then it's white on the kickplates. And they told us like, okay, well, you can't walk on them for a week. And I thought it was starting tomorrow, but they started today. So I had already texted many earlier like hey i forgot about this our microphones are up there we can't go up there do you |
| 1:28.2 | want to zoom well then i get home and I realize that they just got the kick plates done so we'd still be able to get up there. So I was like, oh, wait, never mind. We don't need to. And then she's like, sorry, I've been doing something for the last two hours. You know, do you want to zoom? I'm like, yeah, let's just zoom. We'll be, we'll be good with that. So we probably would have kicked them with our toes anyways and smudge them. I know really. And I don't want to mess it up because yeah, we can't walk on them for a week once that's done. So I have to like go up there after this because they're going to paint those tomorrow morning starting at like 7 a.m. So gather everything you need to survive for the next week. I feel like I want to be packing for a trip where you're leaving for two nights, but you pack 27 pairs of underwear preparing to |
| 2:04.3 | shit yourself every 20 minutes. I'm going to work out three times a day. I'm going to change |
| 2:08.4 | every time. I know. Day underwear and night underwear. That is one thing with doing |
| 2:12.8 | Sunday five hard whenever like travel, which I mean, I haven't this time. But we're leaving town tomorrow, Saturday, and Sunday have hard ends for us on Friday. So it's good timing. But I would always pack so many workout clothes because every day you're gone, that's two workout office. I mean, it depends. You know what I mean? Like you work out and then you don't have anything else to do in between your workouts, I would just work the same thing. But if we have to change and go somewhere before that three hour period to start again, I would have to get something new. Well, that's exciting. We'll trip coming up for you. Yeah. Andy's speaking at an event called Driven. So we're just going out to L.A. for just the weekend and then flying back. So it'll be good. |
| 2:54.3 | Quick trip. Yeah. Turn and burn. So how have you been? I've been well. Been doing good. I'm, you know how I am. |
| 3:03.4 | I'm like, I love summer. So when fall whirls around, I can't, I try to like, you know, |
| 3:07.6 | like try not to live in the past, try not to live too much in the future. I'm trying not to live too much in the future because all I think of is it's going to start snowing. It's going to be cold. I'm trying to enjoy like today. It's really nice out, trying to enjoy all the beauty of fall that these people all talk about. It is. It's 72 right now here. You guys, when I woke up this morning, |
| 3:26.3 | it was like 53 degrees. I was like, all the beauty of fall that these people all talk about. It is. It's 72 right now here. You guys, |
| 3:25.5 | when I woke up this morning, it was like 53 degrees. I was like, what the heck? So it went |
| 3:29.6 | from being all to wear a sports bra and leggings on my outdoor walk to me now wearing a hoodie |
