Summary
Welcome to the '5th Thing' with Amy & Kat!! Today’s quote is: "I've learned to hold on to me. My favorite version of myself. Don't lose yours, okay?" - Amy in Holiday Harmony (the Christmas movie that she is in...it comes out on HBO Max in 2 days...eeeeeekkk!!!!) That line isn't exactly what Amy ended up saying in the movie, but that was the original script and we love that it's a reminder to stay true to ourselves....our favorite versions of ourselves!!!!!! This Thursday's 4 Things episode will be a special Thanksgiving episode with Kat joining in a little, along with the writer/producer of Holiday Harmony and the main character...can't wait for y'all to hear that!
Amy heard a woman humming while she peed. It wasn’t like a musical hum…it was like she was peeing and hummmmmming to make it possible since she was in a public restroom. Seemed like she had to hum to pee. Or it was a meditative type thing. Not sure. Also, did you know we aren't supposed to squat to pee?? Squatting over instead of sitting down on the toilet can change the mechanics of urinating; over time that can increase the risk of lowering urinary tract symptoms including pelvic floor dysfunction and infections.
Amy share's an email from a listener that just lost 2 loved ones this year so the grief is super heavy...and she's trying to hold it together for her family & 2-year-old. Amy recommends Megan Devine's grief journal (link below) and Kat shares her thoughts on showing emotion/grieving/crying in front of our kids.

| 1:53.4 | It's you quoting yourself. Yeah, but I'm not giving I don't honestly remember how it even came out the day of filming because we took so many takes and the script changed a few times, but this is a quote that is my big, |
| 2:08.4 | my big bathroom scene and it's one line from there. It's about staying true to yourself, like your favorite version of yourself. And so this is Amy from holiday harmony on HBO Max and two days. |
| 2:29.4 | Thanks giving day. You know how many times people have tried to get me to be cuter, girlier, less girly, more country, less country, but I've learned to hold on to me. |
| 2:41.4 | My favorite version of myself don't lose yours. Okay, I mean, that's not so bad. That's not even how it came out. That's not how it came out. Do you want to do another take? No, okay, because I want people can watch the movie. |
| 2:53.4 | Oh, yeah, they can watch the movie to see my horrible acting on screen. I'm sure you're awesome. I don't know about awesome, but on Thursday's episode, I do have the writer producer and the main character, the star of the movie in my episode. |

| 3:37.4 | Very nervous people keep thinking like, oh my gosh, what is happening in the bathroom? And I'm like, well, you'll understand once you see the movie. It'll all make sense why my pivotal moment is going down in the bathroom, which speaking of bathrooms. I really find myself to be a pretty mature adult at times. |
| 3:56.4 | But I was in the bathroom the other day, a public bathroom. And this woman was humming while she peed like the whole time. I'm trying to know where you're going with this. |
| 4:07.4 | Well, it was almost like she had to hum to pee. Was it a song or just like, hmm, it was like a meditative. No, it wasn't a song. It was almost like, hmm, like, like, I have to hum to pee. |
| 4:19.4 | Oh, like, like, like, I'm like yoga. I'm making this story up in my head, but it seemed as though she needed to hum in order to give herself. |
