Hello, everyone, and welcome to episode 14 of Cause I Said So. This is the semi-valentines issue.

Oh.

Issue podcast.

Is it going to be semi-valentines? It's going to be semi-valentines. It's going to be semi-valentines. I wouldn't know because I didn't prepare anything for today. Kim is in the driver's seat. Well, you kind of did. You sent me a list. I did send you a list. And then I added a few things. Yeah, you did, Mom. I was going to give you major shit today, but now I'm not. Well, don't let me stop you. Fire away, fire in the hole. Nothing new for my past three weeks. Really? Really? I can't, I, I've lost feeling. I saw, I used to see a mouse, so I saw a mouse walk. Graham and I will go on walks late at night, and sometimes I'll see, by sometimes I mean twice in my life, I've seen a mouse. The first time I saw a mouse, I jumped up on him and he had to grab me and hold me because I was so scared. We saw a mouse yesterday and I just said, hmm, kept walking. And that's because of me? No, just life in general. It's just, you just not, do you have no feeling? Is that what you said?

Or I've become a true New Yorker and I'm no longer afraid of mice. Well, if it was in your apartment, you would be afraid of it. I would be. I'd like a mask. And was it a mouse or a rat? Well, I don't know the difference. Well, a rat is a lot bigger with a really long tail. This was a mouse. both times I think were a mouse.

Unless it was a baby rat, I don't know.

If you're on YouTube, Kim and I are wearing jersey. the really long tail. This was a mouse. Both times I think were a mouse. Unless it was a baby rat.

I don't know. If you're on YouTube, Kim and I are wearing jerseys. We got Mamitas. So our sponsor, and I've talked to you guys about sponsors, the level of excitement of having a sponsor, I know you all on the receiving and listening to ads are like, oh, we have to listen to him read an ad but no think

about it this way kim and i have a sponsored podcast which is highly exciting very exciting and they

sent us a box today of 818 tequila and a bunch of mamitas drinks and jerseys and trucker hats

and they're darling and darling is the word to describe them. I call it mom in college. I frequented a lot of date parties wearing a jersey and trucker hats. I know because I think they're all in your closet. They are. So this is a big day for me. I love recording in a jersey. We're just slightly hoarders. I don't, you're, you have never been a hoarder,

never going to be a hoarder. You're the cleanest person I know and you like to purge. I like to purge, but I don't purge as much as you do. When Alex lived in California, she would just purge her closet and like throw it in the sack and I'd be like, oh my God, give me that. No, you're supposed to give away things that no longer serve you.

Even if you just bought them and they had a tag on them.

No, no, no, no, that No, you're supposed to give away things that no longer serve you. Even if you just bought them and they had a tag on them. No, no, no, no. That's when you give them to, there's a, there's a place you take them to and they give you money. What is that called? Consignment store. No, but there's a place now that you can mail it all to. Oh, yeah, a real, real or? did the real real real. That's what I would do. Yeah.

And all you do is throw it all in a trash sack and mail it to them and then they send you a check. So speaking of Mamita's mom, let's do it. Okay. Let's do the ad. Let's do the ad. So Mamitas has real tequila in it. It's a real hard seltzer tequila. Yes, it's not just like a malt liquor or whatever that actually they won't tell you what it is. They tell you what it is in here and it

is very good. So I have not tried the tequila sunrise yet. 95 calories, less than one gram of sugar and it's gluten-free. Yes. There are four flavors. However, we've been sent to new flavors, the tequila sunrise. And what's this one? Spicy Marg, which I can't wait to try that one. Current standing for me is still the lime is my absolute favorite flavor. What's yours? Mine was the pineapple. Yes, but I liked Paloma this weekend, I will say. I did like Paloma too, but I actually liked them all, but I can't wait to try this because this is my favorite drink it's a spicy margarita you can order mimitas on drinkmamitas.com go puff or we always link the store locator and you can go pick them up yourself i like to do that like i just go in here in new york because they're everywhere okay since it's valentine's day just food for thought and we're not even going to talk about it but the question is do your current relationships and friendships and friendships bring joy to you. Just something to think about. What do you mean you're not?

We're not going to talk about it, but the question is, do your current relationships and friendships

bring joy to you? Just something to think about. What do you mean you're not? We're not going to talk about it. We have other things to talk about. I just thought I'd throw that out there. I don't need to ask you if your current relationships bring joy to you because we talk about that all the time between the two of us. So I just thought I give people, I mean, like on here we talk about it I think a lot don't you think?

Yeah, no, I think so, but mean like on here we talk about it, I think a lot,

don't you think? Yeah, no, I think so. But I think it's important to note that you and I are both in a phase of life that's changing a lot. So the friends we have for a very long time are, of course, always in our life, but we have new friends too. And so I think when you make a new friend, you have to ask yourself, do they serve you?
