Welcome to the Cat and Moose podcast.
00:00:06.051 --> 00:00:07.373
I'm Kat and I'm Moose.
00:00:09.163 --> 00:00:12.791
This is the True Life podcast, where we explore the quirks of being human.
00:00:16.785 --> 00:00:18.908
Hey Moose, hey Kat, hey Sarah.
00:00:18.908 --> 00:00:21.754
Well, hey guys, my goodness, here we are.
00:00:22.100 --> 00:00:23.887
I mean it has been a minute.
00:00:24.722 --> 00:00:31.086
I mean honestly, our listeners are like well, fair, checking us it's.
00:00:31.086 --> 00:00:34.298
I'm having people knocking on my door going like, are you?
00:00:34.338 --> 00:00:37.286
guys, okay, and you're like how did you know where I live?
00:00:40.363 --> 00:00:45.466
Yeah, it's been very interesting, but thank you for everyone who had concern for us.
00:00:45.466 --> 00:00:46.548
We are back.
00:00:46.950 --> 00:00:47.771
And we are okay.
00:00:47.972 --> 00:00:52.530
Yes, and we actually haven't been gone from life.
00:00:52.530 --> 00:01:05.939
We've just been completely incapable of the three of us being in the same place at the same time in order to record the podcast, because of life circumstances in the quirks of being human, which is what this podcast is about.
00:01:05.939 --> 00:01:12.786
And I just thought I personally feel like we're recording on a Friday, I feel like celebrating.
00:01:12.786 --> 00:01:35.433
Just seeing the two of you on my screen has just like filled my heart in my chest, which is such joy that I thought I would introduce to everyone the latest shipment from my LaCreme you know I'm a special person shipment, and this is their Russian River Valley.
00:01:35.433 --> 00:01:38.769
Oh, it's a brute rose.
00:01:38.769 --> 00:01:40.322
So will you pop a cork with me?
00:01:40.322 --> 00:01:41.043
Hell yes.
00:01:41.063 --> 00:01:45.090
Let's pop it Hookers, I mean sex workers, oh Yay.
00:01:45.731 --> 00:01:48.016
Isn't that fun?
00:01:48.016 --> 00:01:49.519
Wow, I want to.
00:01:54.688 --> 00:01:57.733
I wish you could pour us each a glass and pass it through.
00:01:58.240 --> 00:02:00.846
I mean, I just have some cured coffee.
00:02:03.381 --> 00:02:05.608
Okay, so let's let's fill the people in.
00:02:05.608 --> 00:02:09.830
Thank you everyone for your love and concern and prayers.
00:02:09.830 --> 00:02:20.906
Part of the reason we were gone, my brother passed away unexpectedly and I have so much to say about that that I can't say about that.
00:02:20.906 --> 00:02:26.812
I had to call my sister this morning and say what am I allowed to say?
00:02:26.812 --> 00:02:28.526
And she was like not much.
00:02:28.526 --> 00:02:32.849
And I was like, oh, they'll shoot because I got a lot of funny shit to say around it.
00:02:32.849 --> 00:02:36.000
But but it is obviously sad.
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:51.344
My brother passed, very sad, and it's been a very difficult thing to grieve because we have been dealing with really intense and crazy circumstances, something you would see on a TV show.
00:02:51.466 --> 00:03:00.069
honestly, I can't even tell you what TV show, apparently, but well, let me, let me ask you this late Are you inspired to write the screenplay?
00:03:00.592 --> 00:03:02.000
Yes, no, I am not.
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:06.497
I thought about doing a podcast around this, but we'll have to wait and see.
00:03:06.497 --> 00:03:10.979
Honestly, I will say this I'll give a PSA how about that?
00:03:10.979 --> 00:03:18.000
And you can read between the lines Okay, so there are bad people in the world.
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:24.000
Okay, we know this and I don't know if they're actually bad people, but they're doing bad things.
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:29.632
And there are people who, when they are sick, they are vulnerable to these bad people.
00:03:29.632 --> 00:03:43.000
And I, and some circumstances happen like that with my brother, and you know it's been a weird three weeks, to be completely honest, and you know there's a lot still up in the air.
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:47.000
But anyway, all that to say, that's part of why we've been gone.
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:50.835
And then we got stranded in Louisiana, which was a whole thing.
00:03:51.317 --> 00:03:52.000
I mean this all happened.
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:59.836
I mean, the last time we spoke on the podcast we were exuberant about uniting in Colorado together.
00:03:59.836 --> 00:04:08.189
We had all these plans and then her brother passed and so we made a slight detour down to where he was and spend a couple of days there.
00:04:08.189 --> 00:04:23.887
And once we wrapped up that, we resumed our plans to head to Colorado and instead got stuck in Louisiana and never made it to Colorado because we had to figure out a whole damn mess getting all of our stuff back to Nashville.
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:29.939
One quick highlight is we had to rent a vehicle.
00:04:29.939 --> 00:04:50.000
A truck, to be exact, to get the RV from Louisiana back to Nashville, because we got stranded, because Sarah's dear beloved forerunner, latoya LaToya, her, her engine fell apart in the middle of Louisiana.
00:04:51.083 --> 00:04:52.286
Yeah, it doesn't work anymore.
00:04:52.286 --> 00:04:53.870
While we were pulling an RV.
00:04:54.382 --> 00:04:58.000
We actually slept in this really creepy parking lot.
00:04:58.000 --> 00:04:59.103
It's a lot.
00:04:59.103 --> 00:05:00.588
It's really traumatic actually.
00:05:00.588 --> 00:05:02.043
I'll deal with it later.
00:05:02.043 --> 00:05:12.307
But the point is we had to rent this truck and we rented it via Turo, because we are Turo people and you don't know what Turo is.
00:05:12.307 --> 00:05:23.529
Look it up and drove it all the way to Nashville to get the RV here and the day we are leaving to return it back to Louisiana.
00:05:23.529 --> 00:05:25.377
Because, it's true, you can only do one way.
00:05:25.377 --> 00:05:31.999
I happened to open the glove box of this truck and I can't make this up.
00:05:31.999 --> 00:05:32.872
I mean, I was.
00:05:32.872 --> 00:05:35.552
I am never speechless, as you guys know.
00:05:35.552 --> 00:05:37.480
I've always got something to say.
00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:39.697
I mean, Kat, you saw the picture.
00:05:39.697 --> 00:05:47.735
There was a crack pipe and a bag of crack in the glove compartment Like legit.
00:05:49.095 --> 00:05:51.704
Like not a weed pipe or whatever.
00:05:51.704 --> 00:05:52.889
Those are called Hard drugs.
00:05:52.889 --> 00:05:56.870
Hard drugs were in here and we drove 10 hours.
00:05:57.552 --> 00:06:03.870
We're just driving across the country with someone else's hard drugs, just drove 10 hours with crack in the glove.
00:06:05.072 --> 00:06:07.658
So I'm like panicked and I'm like oh my God, what do we do?
00:06:07.678 --> 00:06:07.959
What do we?
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:08.461
do, what do we do?
00:06:08.461 --> 00:06:10.615
And, and you know like we got to get rid of it.
00:06:10.634 --> 00:06:11.156
Don't touch it.
00:06:11.317 --> 00:06:15.293
Yeah, so Sarah's like, you got to text our friend who's a cop, so we texted her.
00:06:15.293 --> 00:06:17.889
Hey, this is our situation which was hit it.
00:06:17.889 --> 00:06:22.850
You'll get a bunch done and we were like are you kidding?
00:06:23.752 --> 00:06:24.737
What do we do with this?
00:06:24.737 --> 00:06:25.600
We did not hit it.
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:27.689
That person told us to get rid of it Immediately.
00:06:27.689 --> 00:06:30.158
We did Not by consuming it.
00:06:30.197 --> 00:06:33.658
We did not, although we could have sold it, but we're not this kind of people.
00:06:34.050 --> 00:06:38.267
She did say, though, if we got pulled over with that, like there's no getting out of that, we would have been in jail.
00:06:38.288 --> 00:06:38.588
It's not mine.
00:06:39.673 --> 00:06:40.074
Like what?
00:06:40.074 --> 00:06:43.548
That is the classic response Right right, this isn't my truck?
00:06:43.569 --> 00:06:44.557
Yeah, she said.
00:06:44.557 --> 00:06:45.809
She said she's pulled people out of it.
00:06:45.809 --> 00:06:48.658
She said she's pulled people over with drugs and their pants and they go.
00:06:48.658 --> 00:06:49.870
These aren't my pants.
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:54.932
My God, anyway.
00:06:54.932 --> 00:06:57.076
So we dodged a major one with that.
00:06:57.076 --> 00:06:57.939
Yeah, thank God.
00:06:58.500 --> 00:07:01.295
Okay, but I have, as usual, I have questions.
00:07:01.295 --> 00:07:04.142
Please Like so when you like.
00:07:04.142 --> 00:07:04.889
Were you looking for a Kleenex?
00:07:04.889 --> 00:07:08.821
Were you looking for like instructions for how to like do something with the truck?
00:07:08.821 --> 00:07:11.889
Like how did you, what made you, open the glove compartment to begin with?
00:07:12.494 --> 00:07:16.485
Well, I have an anxiety disorder and I'm constantly moving.
00:07:16.485 --> 00:07:22.569
I think I was just like bored and like opening the glove compartment.
00:07:22.569 --> 00:07:23.031
You were, oh no, I, we.
00:07:23.031 --> 00:07:25.870
I knew we were returning it and I thought I need to get all the shit out.
00:07:25.870 --> 00:07:30.367
So I'm opening, making sure we didn't stick things and things.
00:07:30.367 --> 00:07:30.790
You know what I mean.
00:07:30.790 --> 00:07:41.870
Yeah, so I opened that, even though I knew we didn't to look and that thing is staring at me, just sitting right on top, not in a little baggy like just sitting there waiting for the popo to pull me over.
00:07:42.052 --> 00:07:43.809
I, I'm just sitting there waiting for the popo to pull me over.
00:07:43.809 --> 00:07:48.809
I'm just so curious, moose, like I want to hear the like play by play.
00:07:48.809 --> 00:07:50.889
It's like you're checking the truck.
00:07:50.889 --> 00:07:56.798
You're looking in every little nook and cranny to make sure that that you haven't left anything in there.
00:07:56.798 --> 00:07:59.735
You open the glove box and what like.
00:07:59.735 --> 00:08:02.742
What is the first thing that happens?
00:08:02.990 --> 00:08:18.889
Well, I usually experience sound effects, honestly, which is very weird, but it was like this, like a cartoon, like you know, and like this shining light coming out of the crack pipe and I thought I really thought it's over.
00:08:18.889 --> 00:08:24.475
I mean, I also have thoughts like is that mine, which I know it's?
00:08:25.581 --> 00:08:27.810
I mean honestly, or I'm like who, how did that get there?
00:08:27.810 --> 00:08:29.877
Who planted that in our car?
00:08:29.990 --> 00:08:36.379
You know immediately, I'm the victim, of course, yeah, but I'm like somebody put this in the car last night, oh my God.
00:08:36.379 --> 00:08:39.870
And then like and then I just realized it does not matter who it belongs to.
00:08:39.870 --> 00:08:43.801
In fact it does not belong to me and I need to get rid of it.
00:08:45.457 --> 00:08:47.889
And so like did you go, get like a pair of tongs?
00:08:48.996 --> 00:08:49.460
Sarah.
00:08:50.548 --> 00:08:50.889
I did it.
00:08:50.889 --> 00:09:05.379
I'm like the one that gets, like you know, the bugs, the bugs, the, the half eaten mice that my cat brings home, the crack pipes, yeah, so I I opened the glove compartment and I picked.
00:09:05.379 --> 00:09:11.615
It was sitting on just the car's registration, like with their name and all the information, so I picked that up.
00:09:11.696 --> 00:09:24.116
I didn't even touch the drugs, I just picked up the paper and I had a court size Ziploc and I scooped it and put it right in there just like it was a dead mouse, zipped it up and then gently put it into my garbage.
00:09:24.116 --> 00:09:24.317
Can.
00:09:24.950 --> 00:09:27.277
I feel like we should have put it in a neighbor's garbage can.
00:09:27.336 --> 00:09:28.821
Personally, but no way.
00:09:28.821 --> 00:09:30.889
So it went out on Tuesday's trash.
00:09:31.572 --> 00:09:37.657
It does say that I have a guilty conscious, that I had a tiny millisecond where I was like is that mine?
00:09:38.009 --> 00:09:38.913
You know, like did I?
00:09:38.913 --> 00:09:40.597
Did I time travel?
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:57.048
to a time where I am a crack head and and this is my pipe, you know it's like was there like a glitch in the universe that took me there and I'm like I like look at Sarah in shock and she looked at me in shock and I was like, is she blaming me?
00:09:57.048 --> 00:09:57.789
Is this hers?
00:09:57.789 --> 00:09:59.296
Is she a crack?
00:09:59.296 --> 00:10:01.054
I don't have a clue.
00:10:01.970 --> 00:10:11.423
I mean, I have never, in all my born years, I have never, ever seen a crack pipe in real life.
00:10:11.644 --> 00:10:12.365
Me either.
00:10:12.365 --> 00:10:17.668
Well, actually it looked familiar and I think my brother had one at one point.
00:10:17.668 --> 00:10:24.856
But then I said that to a friend and they were like it's probably like a marijuana pipe and I was like yeah, maybe the same brother.
00:10:24.856 --> 00:10:27.221
That no Different.
00:10:29.092 --> 00:10:36.436
Okay, I was like maybe, maybe in a parallel universe, you guys, you guys had a whole family business going on.
00:10:37.251 --> 00:10:40.870
I really often think am I Truman from the Truman show?
00:10:41.332 --> 00:10:42.761
You know like are you?
00:10:42.802 --> 00:10:43.870
guys screwing with me.
00:10:43.870 --> 00:10:47.889
Was that a way for the universe to be like do you want some little girl?
00:10:47.889 --> 00:10:55.024
You know, I mean right now I could put this in here and smoke it like nobody would know except Sarah.
00:10:55.024 --> 00:11:00.780
Oh my God, I'm so glad you didn't there was like three seconds and I was like this is Sarah's and she's been hiding.
00:11:00.841 --> 00:11:01.884
Are you kidding me.
00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:09.652
I mean I'm just being honest, not that I think you would ever, but you know, weirder things have happened, trust me.
00:11:09.652 --> 00:11:10.455
We've seen them.
00:11:10.455 --> 00:11:12.029
Oh man, so we?
00:11:12.049 --> 00:11:14.538
got the heck out of that truck as quick as possible.
00:11:14.538 --> 00:11:18.677
We turned it back to Louisiana, got a five star review.
00:11:18.677 --> 00:11:19.658
Thank you so much.
00:11:19.658 --> 00:11:20.360
Bye, bye.
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:26.321
Yeah, so I had to go to the shop where La Toya, the forerunner was, was sitting.
00:11:26.321 --> 00:11:40.769
Which, by the way, that shop caught on fire while her truck was there While I was there, the shop next door to the shop, completely obliterated by a fire, and I'm like but it could not take her forerunner, that would have been the best thing ever.
00:11:41.370 --> 00:11:43.735
Are you sure it wasn't parked inside of the she's?
00:11:43.755 --> 00:11:46.240
like can you light it on fire and put it in there?
00:11:46.461 --> 00:11:59.025
Yeah, my forerunner needs a whole new engine and we ended up have whatever we had, to go pay for the diagnostic and then get it shipped back to Nashville on it with you know, 17 other cars on a big 18 wheeler.
00:11:59.166 --> 00:11:59.870
How do you even do that?
00:11:59.870 --> 00:12:00.697
How do?
00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:01.870
you guys know how to do that.
00:12:01.870 --> 00:12:06.708
I will tell you guys do not sign up for ever do it.
00:12:07.456 --> 00:12:08.870
First of all, just listen to me.
00:12:08.870 --> 00:12:12.889
If you need to ship a car, there is a company called Montway.
00:12:13.313 --> 00:12:14.788
And this is not a paid ad.
00:12:14.950 --> 00:12:17.889
And you should use the only reputable company for shipping cars.
00:12:18.731 --> 00:12:22.600
Everyone else wants to steal your credit card and information and possibly your car.
00:12:23.101 --> 00:12:24.110
Yeah, I mean they.
00:12:24.110 --> 00:12:26.035
It's truly like none of them were legit.
00:12:26.035 --> 00:12:27.320
That called us in this one.
00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:29.214
Actually the car arrived.
00:12:29.214 --> 00:12:32.254
Okay, so back to your life.
00:12:32.254 --> 00:12:35.548
Cat, tell us about Colorado, because we missed so much.
00:12:35.548 --> 00:12:38.278
I mean, really need to go now.
00:12:39.272 --> 00:12:43.716
And I had the best time, like I had the best time, just go ahead and rub it in.
00:12:43.716 --> 00:12:46.173
I really, really missed you guys.
00:12:46.173 --> 00:12:55.059
But I also feel like, after that story, anything that I can say about my time in Colorado.
00:12:55.059 --> 00:12:56.719
It just pales in comparison.
00:12:56.980 --> 00:12:59.388
Well, it doesn't matter, we're not compromising.
00:12:59.388 --> 00:13:01.445
I am Ha ha ha ha ha.
00:13:02.260 --> 00:13:06.759
But it's like as if we're like taking our listeners on this like ride of, like the podcast.
00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:10.759
It's like here comes the part where the car drifts into the station.
00:13:11.221 --> 00:13:12.508
Oh my God.
00:13:12.508 --> 00:13:15.953
Okay, I will ask you questions.
00:13:15.953 --> 00:13:16.779
Okay, thank you.
00:13:16.779 --> 00:13:20.220
I saw something on your arm that I would like to talk about.
00:13:20.220 --> 00:13:21.664
Would you like to share about that, oh?
00:13:21.826 --> 00:13:23.302
my goodness, yes.
00:13:23.302 --> 00:13:28.168
So, as you guys know, we've talked about this for years on the podcast.
00:13:28.168 --> 00:13:42.019
The concept that I have learned through Dallas philosophy called Wu Wei and loosely I mean it has a lot of translations because a lot of these ancient characters and languages meant several different things, you know.
00:13:42.019 --> 00:13:54.419
That's why I think people very grossly interpret the Bible, because it's like we don't know how to properly articulate Aramaic or Hebrew or Greek, because it's just different than the English language.
00:13:54.419 --> 00:14:19.342
So I got these Chinese symbols on my arm that depict Wu Wei, and Wu Wei means effortless action, it means being in the flow, it means basically like try to not try you know, yeah, and here it is Very pretty, looks so good.
00:14:19.965 --> 00:14:21.845
Thank you, I'm really loving it.
00:14:21.845 --> 00:14:27.489
I am at the tattoo phase right now where it feels like I have poison oak on my wrist.
00:14:27.830 --> 00:14:28.371
Oh yeah.
00:14:28.419 --> 00:14:30.386
Like I am like over here going like.
00:14:30.427 --> 00:14:35.826
No, but a wonderful guy named Devin.
00:14:35.826 --> 00:14:37.912
He did my tattoo.
00:14:37.912 --> 00:14:39.605
Do you have to say it like that?
00:14:39.605 --> 00:14:42.561
Devin, devin, devin, I think.
00:14:42.561 --> 00:14:46.789
Apparently I do, but it was a really, really fun experience.
00:14:46.789 --> 00:14:50.846
I've never gotten a tattoo before and I have to say it was really uncomfortable.
00:14:51.589 --> 00:14:51.970
Oh really.
00:14:52.360 --> 00:15:00.905
I'm sure right there, your skin is so thin, yeah, and I had to really like look at our friend Mark and I had to tell him a story.
00:15:00.980 --> 00:15:05.789
That was not a very interesting story but it's something I kind of needed to get off my chest.
00:15:05.789 --> 00:15:15.447
And so I told him this very non-interesting, very boring story and so that I just wasn't looking at the tattoo artist like while he was doing the parts that were painful.
00:15:15.447 --> 00:15:26.565
And it was so funny because there was a part of the story that has to do with this older person who might be joining me on this thing later this year and blah, blah, blah.
00:15:26.565 --> 00:15:34.206
And so I was expressing to Mark I was like the place that we got for this thing, you know, has a lot of stairs.
00:15:34.206 --> 00:15:46.745
And I was just talking to Mark like over here to my left and Devin was just quietly over here doing my tattoo and in the middle of our conversation Devin goes how the hell is she gonna get around if it's just stairs?
00:15:46.745 --> 00:15:56.028
So like he was listening like very intently to the conversation that was not very exciting and I just am absolutely thrilled.
00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:59.306
I absolutely love it and it has already served me so well.
00:15:59.306 --> 00:16:20.129
I think it's really important when things start feeling like, oh my gosh, what am I gonna do, I think, just to be reminded that, like nature is taking its course, life is happening, the earth is spinning, the universe is pulsating or whatever it does, and it just is not within my control.
00:16:20.129 --> 00:16:30.346
And I wanna be careful to not say that this is the same, it's just going well, everything's fine, right, exactly Because everything's not fine.
00:16:30.346 --> 00:16:32.587
It is really incredibly hard to be a human.
00:16:32.587 --> 00:16:35.769
I don't care what circumstance you're going through.
00:16:35.769 --> 00:16:46.301
Humanity being a human is really challenging at times, and so it's just been really lovely because I've dealt with a couple of things since the last time we've recorded that I'm like man.
00:16:46.301 --> 00:16:52.846
I'm really glad that I have this reminder right here for me to see whenever I need to look at it, so I'm very, very pleased.
00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:54.806
Thank you for celebrating my tattoo.
00:16:55.248 --> 00:16:55.849
It looks so cool.
00:16:55.849 --> 00:16:56.822
I love it.
00:16:56.822 --> 00:17:00.168
What else happened and what tells more about Colorado?
00:17:00.340 --> 00:17:02.539
Did you get naked in the spring, hot spring?
00:17:02.539 --> 00:17:02.961
Yeah, did you?
00:17:03.001 --> 00:17:04.346
get naked and go into the springs.
00:17:04.661 --> 00:17:05.686
I did yeah.
00:17:06.161 --> 00:17:09.088
You just let those boobies flop around in that water.
00:17:09.390 --> 00:17:11.371
No, I did, yes, I did in the water.
00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:14.066
Yeah, I did Wait do you walk how?
00:17:14.066 --> 00:17:17.646
I know I've asked you this before, but do you take your clothes off right at the edge?
00:17:17.961 --> 00:17:26.424
OK, so here's what we did is and not all of us went, just a couple of us went the female variety version of us, I know who you're talking about.
00:17:26.424 --> 00:17:42.794
Yeah, and so what we did is, at the house, we got completely undressed and just put a robe on in our sandals, and then we got in the car and we drove, you got in the car without undies on and without a bra on.
00:17:42.913 --> 00:17:44.160
Yes, oh my gosh.
00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:46.327
What if you had gotten in a wreck.
00:17:47.502 --> 00:17:50.570
I mean, then they would have had to have no surgical scissors, True?
00:17:50.570 --> 00:17:56.749
And so we just decided, like we're just going to go completely naked, just with our robes on.
00:17:56.749 --> 00:18:01.926
And so, you know, we paid and hi everybody, I'm here to check in, and blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:18:01.926 --> 00:18:14.506
And then we walked out to one of the pools and they have these little like kind of coat racks or coat hangers standing out there, and we just took our robes off and took our sandals off and just got right in the pool.
00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:16.026
That's so awesome.
