| 0:00.0 | I'm sorry, but the body aidi-a-di-a-di. He is so fit. Okay, I actually meant to Google how old is this guy. Oh, yeah, so we can feel. Oh, mm-mm, nope. Take that back. He's 22. Damn it. Damn it. Just. Hi, everybody. Welcome back to older and wilder with Joy and Claire. Claire, your hair is just on a journey today. It's really distracting, everybody. Welcome back to Older and Wilder with Joy and Claire. Claire, your hair is just |
| 0:22.1 | on a journey today. It's really distracting, honestly. Are you going to play with your hair the whole |
| 0:26.5 | time? Yeah, probably. I went to bed with my hair wet last night, and if you, if like, anybody out there |
| 0:32.0 | has, like, thick, short hair, you know that that is really just a recipe for physics to take over. And that's what's |
| 0:39.2 | happened. My hair is standing straight up. Oh, here come the dogs. Yeah, it's really a whole |
| 0:43.6 | situation right now. I remember when I cut my hair short the first time, that was one of the most, |
| 0:48.3 | one of my most favorite things to do was take pictures of it, like when you woke up in the |
| 0:52.5 | morning because it was just wild. |
| 1:00.0 | I think I posted like one of the morning hairstyles probably back in, I don't know, |
| 1:04.0 | when did I, when basically when we first started the podcast and it was like just this huge, |
| 1:05.8 | it just looked like a big tidal wave. |
| 1:09.5 | And it was one of my favorite things about short hair because you're like, it's always just doing something fun. |
| 1:10.5 | I normally, I typically am a morning shower and I have been ever since I got bangs because I'm just like, I need to get ready set every morning. |
| 1:18.7 | But last night, we, you know, we just like got home from karate and whatever. |
| 1:24.4 | I was tired and I was just like, I need a shower. |
| 1:26.7 | And a lot of times I will shower when I get back from karate, but enough time will elapse before I go to bed that I'm not going to bed with like wet hair. But no, last night, I got out of the shower went straight to bed. It's always a surprise when you wake up. Well, I think it looks 80s retro cool and I think you should just leave it. It's like a buffon for people who can't see, obviously. If you're listening to this podcast, you can't see it. |
| 1:27.9 | I'm going to post a picture. |
| 1:28.9 | It's very, it's like a buffon for people who can't see obviously. If you're listening to this podcast, you can't see it. I'm going to post a picture. It's really this piece right here that's like just so incredibly anti-gravity. Do you need to go get a hat or are you going to let it go? I will let it go, but I'm going to post it on Instagram first. How is your week? It has been eventful. I'm trying to take a picture of the little |
| 2:03.3 | thing and then I'll be done. Like let's just have your let's have a moment. I noticed when I got on |
| 2:08.8 | record today I was like why I have all this ASU gear on today that I was not planning to. You weren't |
| 2:14.2 | right. I wasn't I didn't plan it but I just had had, you know, this is my, my property of ASU dance line sweatshirt that was in storage. And then when we moved, I was like, why did I put this in storage? I should wear this all the time. And then I just grabbed my ASU sweats, didn't realize those were my ASU sweats, grabbed my hat. It's an ASU hat. So I'm just really roughing the Arizona State University vibe today. Scott was like, wow, you're really on brand today. I'm like, yeah. Anyway, so yeah, week's been kind of busy. There's some kind of upcoming changes that I'll share later that, you know, that's just happening in my life right now. So I hate being the vague person, but it's like one of those things you're like, ah, just we'll talk about it when I can talk about it. Dogs are good, house is good. You know, it's really funny. So Scott gets on these kicks of like projects that he really wants to have done where, you know, like, it's like you and the coffee table with Brandon, where you're like, why can't we just pick one? I don't understand. And it's just like, well, I'll know, I'll know it. |
| 3:11.0 | I'll know it when I see it. I kind of have that sometimes with projects where I just don't care this morning Scott's like, oh, we need to have these windows cleaned because they're like, windows that are super high, you need huge ladders to get to the top. And I, that just doesn't |
