Welcome to the Cat and Moose podcast.
00:00:05.929 --> 00:00:07.410
I'm Kat and I'm Moose.
00:00:09.173 --> 00:00:12.784
This is a true life podcast where we explore the quirks of being human.
00:00:12.784 --> 00:00:19.786
Okay, we had some technical difficulties and here we are.
00:00:19.786 --> 00:00:22.211
We have risen above Guess what?
00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:24.625
Mercury's got a retrograde again.
00:00:24.905 --> 00:00:31.789
Yeah, I mean, I think it's supposed to go into retrograde any day now and I know it's supposed to be there until, I think, january 14th.
00:00:33.140 --> 00:00:37.429
I think they have us on like the early plan, because we talk about it so much.
00:00:37.429 --> 00:00:39.762
Who is that?
00:00:39.783 --> 00:00:41.487
So we know before you guys do.
00:00:41.487 --> 00:00:44.966
That's a good way to put it, sarah.
00:00:44.966 --> 00:00:49.042
They just have us on the early plan, they have us on the VIP plug.
00:00:49.082 --> 00:00:52.009
We're like we got grandfathered in from something.
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:59.040
We got grandfathered in to mercury retrograde, so we're just in it all the time Exactly.
00:00:59.121 --> 00:01:02.289
They don't know when to start and stop us, so they just keep it going.
00:01:02.289 --> 00:01:03.883
Are you guys both?
00:01:04.204 --> 00:01:04.927
losing weight.
00:01:06.224 --> 00:01:07.227
Do we look like it?
00:01:07.227 --> 00:01:14.706
You do you do, your faces are thinner, that's cool to hear it's my neck thinner because I measured it.
00:01:14.706 --> 00:01:16.210
Check my neck.
00:01:17.141 --> 00:01:21.691
Oh wow, oh yes, definitely the circumference has lessened.
00:01:22.962 --> 00:01:24.311
How about when I do this?
00:01:24.311 --> 00:01:26.427
Yeah, it looks really good.
00:01:26.427 --> 00:01:27.364
Go up from the side.
00:01:28.459 --> 00:01:35.927
Hey, if you're not a patron, you need to become one right now, because Sarah, just gave you her double chin.
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:57.730
And I don't have a neck, okay so the reason I bring this up is we have a mutual friend and she has been working out with Sarah and I and we were doing all these measurements at the beginning to be like, okay, let's actually not weigh ourselves but just measure by inches later on.
00:01:57.730 --> 00:02:15.108
But my friend keeps saying that she really wants to lose weight in her trunk which is the funniest word and her neck oh, okay, and so every time we see her we're like nice neck, like we just keep bringing up her neck, necks, look nice yeah.
00:02:15.628 --> 00:02:15.889
Yeah.
00:02:17.604 --> 00:02:18.145
So, thank you.
00:02:18.145 --> 00:02:23.885
We have been working out for just over two weeks now, which feels like two months.
00:02:23.885 --> 00:02:34.225
It does feel like two months and so I'm not sure that there's much results after two weeks, but I feel it in my body, I feel stronger, I feel more energetic.
00:02:34.225 --> 00:02:42.353
There's been a routine change of having to get up and meet each other at the gym at 6.30 every morning, not every morning.
00:02:42.353 --> 00:02:45.348
We do two days on and one day off, and two days on and one day off.
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:47.463
Which, by the way, means five days on.
00:02:47.463 --> 00:02:49.326
Yeah, it's pretty great.
00:02:49.807 --> 00:02:50.830
Yeah, that's awesome.
00:02:50.830 --> 00:02:57.651
Yeah, I'm so impressed with you guys and can I ask like, or would it be a security problem?
00:02:57.651 --> 00:03:00.866
Probably because we're so famous, where are you?
00:03:00.907 --> 00:03:01.211
guys.
00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:02.843
Where are you guys working?
00:03:02.943 --> 00:03:03.025
out.
00:03:03.025 --> 00:03:08.271
Oh, I will do a sponsorship right here for where we're working out.
00:03:08.271 --> 00:03:22.729
So I've always been such a diva with where I've worked out, like the YMCA's here in Middle Tennessee are like pretty posh places to go and you know, say that you're a middle income type gal.
00:03:22.729 --> 00:03:25.627
It's a good $60, $75 a month.
00:03:25.627 --> 00:03:28.525
But no, I have become.
00:03:28.525 --> 00:03:33.927
I call it the purple gym because I could never remember the name, but everyone knows what I'm talking about.
00:03:33.927 --> 00:03:34.670
What is it called?
00:03:34.670 --> 00:03:36.075
Planet Fitness?
00:03:36.075 --> 00:03:37.039
Yes, planet Fitness.
00:03:37.420 --> 00:03:39.626
They own New Year's Eve in New York City.
00:03:39.626 --> 00:03:40.348
Oh they do.
00:03:40.647 --> 00:03:41.790
Oh, that's right they do.
00:03:41.790 --> 00:03:44.447
Anyway, I'm a Planet Fitness fan.
00:03:44.447 --> 00:03:49.907
I thought I was too big of a snob, I don't know why, but this is like the best deal in America.
00:03:49.907 --> 00:03:50.449
It's crazy.
00:03:50.449 --> 00:03:52.269
And this is a Planet Fitness podcast.
00:03:52.269 --> 00:03:59.008
So yeah, welcome to our new sponsor and it's like 15 bucks and you get to lay it after you work out.
00:03:59.008 --> 00:04:01.252
They have these Hydra massages.
00:04:01.252 --> 00:04:08.114
Don't worry, like it's just like underneath this thing and it literally massages your entire body for 10 minutes.
00:04:08.375 --> 00:04:08.957
Oh, that's amazing.
00:04:09.580 --> 00:04:20.267
And then, if you like to get a tan, apparently you can go get a stand up tanning bed, I mean if you really do take advantage of all their services.
00:04:20.267 --> 00:04:21.170
It's a good deal.
00:04:21.591 --> 00:04:23.113
Yep and the gym is great.
00:04:24.161 --> 00:04:27.370
So all that's for free, other than your membership fee.
00:04:27.389 --> 00:04:29.776
Yes, it's included in your monthly fee.
00:04:29.776 --> 00:04:32.067
Wow, that's fantastic.
00:04:32.300 --> 00:04:38.749
Hey guys, for real, text me if you want to become a member, because I'm talking to you listeners.
00:04:38.968 --> 00:04:43.355
True, we get a free month, you get a free month, I get a free month, you get a free month.
00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:46.843
We're just like Oprah passing out cars Everybody gets a free month.
00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:53.187
Hey, that's awesome, you know, oprah, and giving out free cars made me think.
00:04:53.187 --> 00:04:56.394
Someone said to me this past week.
00:04:56.394 --> 00:05:02.952
They said I am really, really worried about our country's state of affairs, like politically.
00:05:02.952 --> 00:05:17.507
And I was like, yeah, we're coming up on an election year and, like it, just all signs are pointing in many, many directions, but there are candidates, potential candidates, that some of us are a fan of and some of us are not.
00:05:17.507 --> 00:05:18.603
We'll just stop it there.
00:05:18.603 --> 00:05:23.410
And this person said to me do you know what would solve everything?
00:05:23.410 --> 00:05:27.629
What did they say If Michelle Obama ran for office?
00:05:28.112 --> 00:05:44.947
I mean serious, oh my gosh, the whole world would vote for her and, honestly, all we need is a majority, so I'm down for that as well, like you know what I mean, even if they don't, you're going to get some people you wouldn't have gotten with Biden.
00:05:44.947 --> 00:05:46.630
Let's be honest, right.
00:05:46.932 --> 00:05:47.132
Right.
00:05:47.132 --> 00:05:49.805
Has anyone asked her if she has any interest?
00:05:50.581 --> 00:05:57.413
Well, I said yesterday that if I could call her and persuade her, I would.
00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:01.480
So I don't know if anyone is, so we just need her cell phone number.
00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:02.865
We just need her cell phone number.
00:06:02.865 --> 00:06:09.387
So if you guys know how to get in touch with Michelle Obama, I would like for her to know that I will be her number one patron.
00:06:09.387 --> 00:06:22.533
And by number one patron I don't mean financially, because I don't really have any money, but I will promote and support your campaign like it is my life's mission.
00:06:23.379 --> 00:06:26.247
What if she asked you to be her campaign manager?
00:06:26.247 --> 00:06:26.889
Would you do it?
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:29.824
I would be the.
00:06:29.824 --> 00:06:31.490
I would be like the sous chef.
00:06:31.880 --> 00:06:33.170
Okay, I'll be her manager.
00:06:33.413 --> 00:06:38.896
I'll be her campaign manager, okay and I'm not saying I don't want to be, I just don't know how, I don't know what all the job entails.
00:06:38.915 --> 00:06:40.180
We're just in a fantasy world.
00:06:41.283 --> 00:06:42.208
Oh, in a fantasy world.
00:06:42.208 --> 00:06:45.026
I'm definitely her campaign manager, for sure, yeah.
00:06:45.286 --> 00:06:45.908
Well, great, then.
00:06:45.908 --> 00:06:50.281
I mean, you do great, okay, so now am I working for you, oh cool.
00:06:51.379 --> 00:06:53.262
We don't ever work for one another.
00:06:53.483 --> 00:06:54.766
No, never With.
00:06:54.766 --> 00:06:56.910
We work with one another, yeah.
00:06:57.089 --> 00:06:57.951
We've tried that.
00:06:57.951 --> 00:06:59.074
Well, we didn't try that.
00:06:59.074 --> 00:07:00.285
We knew better to try that.
00:07:00.285 --> 00:07:02.062
Okay, so I'm with you.
00:07:02.062 --> 00:07:04.488
Michelle Obama 2024.
00:07:04.488 --> 00:07:06.333
Can we get her to run?
00:07:06.333 --> 00:07:23.908
I gotta tell ya I'm gonna get a lot of flack for this, but just go with me and in the heart of coming together, if you will somebody, please sing me a song, come together right now.
00:07:23.908 --> 00:07:29.165
Thank you Over me so good Damn.
00:07:31.740 --> 00:07:33.747
It says if Sarah has been a drummer in her life.
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:34.985
Look behind her, by the way.
00:07:34.985 --> 00:07:36.485
Okay, wait, I'm jumping around.
00:07:36.485 --> 00:07:38.807
This is an ADHD podcast.
00:07:38.807 --> 00:07:40.403
Welcome.
00:07:40.403 --> 00:07:42.699
Welcome to our podcast.
00:07:42.699 --> 00:07:44.805
What were we just talking about?
00:07:44.805 --> 00:07:45.567
It was important.
00:07:45.567 --> 00:07:46.389
Oh, michelle Obama.
00:07:46.389 --> 00:07:47.271
Okay, I like this.
00:07:47.271 --> 00:07:48.983
Okay, the one thing I was gonna say.
00:07:48.983 --> 00:08:02.786
That's gonna upset some people because she's a Democrat, but I am not mad about Liz Cheney saying, if Donald Trump becomes the candidate, that she may run in the third party.
00:08:02.786 --> 00:08:03.704
Have you heard about this?
00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:06.319
I have not heard about this so.
00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:14.567
Liz Cheney, republican but also one of the few Republicans that were willing to stand up against Trump and say this is crazy.
00:08:14.567 --> 00:08:15.048
Over here.
00:08:15.048 --> 00:08:19.714
By the way, we are a political podcast as well.
00:08:19.714 --> 00:08:22.701
Apparently, apparently, but anyway.
00:08:22.701 --> 00:08:34.033
Liz Cheney has said whatever it takes, if he becomes the candidate I may run and she may be, from the other end, someone that could sway people into that third party.
00:08:34.033 --> 00:08:39.669
I know there's also opinions about that, because if you have a third party, does that make Trump win even more?
00:08:39.669 --> 00:08:41.092
I have no clue Right.
00:08:41.860 --> 00:08:42.020
However.
00:08:42.201 --> 00:08:56.169
Michelle Obama, you have found the key candidate here because Oprah, they asked her, she said she would consider it at one point and then she said no, but we need somebody to come in here and blow this joint open.
00:08:56.500 --> 00:09:04.044
Well, and the thing is we don't need just somebody like it's an absolute train wreck and it has been for the past, what eight years?
00:09:04.044 --> 00:09:08.700
And so it's like okay, we gotta, we gotta, we got.
00:09:08.700 --> 00:09:20.591
We need help and and I think it will take a very special, very skilled, very, very resilient individual to come in and do a good job.
00:09:20.591 --> 00:09:26.089
To come in and even do a bad job would require that, but like true, I'll take a bad job at this point.
00:09:26.109 --> 00:09:27.134
You know what I mean.
00:09:27.134 --> 00:09:27.697
Bad feels like good.
00:09:28.380 --> 00:09:32.679
Bad feels like a good job, but we like you as a person, yeah exactly.
00:09:33.341 --> 00:09:33.601
Okay.
00:09:33.601 --> 00:09:40.293
I want to be careful because I'm not someone who supports ageism, so I'm not someone.
00:09:40.293 --> 00:09:44.291
I do think we need some sort of term limits in Congress and Senate.
00:09:44.291 --> 00:09:49.880
I also think that we need to consider that in presidential areas.
00:09:49.880 --> 00:09:53.211
But I'm not saying that's why I wouldn't vote for Biden.
00:09:53.211 --> 00:09:53.934
I probably would.
00:09:53.934 --> 00:09:55.221
I'm just going to put that out there.
00:09:55.221 --> 00:09:59.220
Here's something else we need to consider, and I've totally forgotten what that is.
00:10:00.806 --> 00:10:01.488
You are on.
00:10:01.789 --> 00:10:04.798
You're on a roll today, moose, I really am.
00:10:05.038 --> 00:10:05.779
Oh, hey, moose.
00:10:06.402 --> 00:10:12.595
Hey Kat, Hi Sarah, hey Sarah was like, didn't we already start?
00:10:12.595 --> 00:10:22.740
Oh, the other thing I wanted to say is, in this latest Republican debate, what's his name?
00:10:22.740 --> 00:10:23.724
Ramiswamy.
00:10:23.724 --> 00:10:26.514
I mean, that guy is worse than Trump, I think.
00:10:26.514 --> 00:10:32.085
I mean that guy I am unafraid to say like he is a total asshole.
00:10:32.085 --> 00:10:34.308
Are you talking about Santos?
00:10:34.308 --> 00:10:43.432
No, Ramiswamy, he's one of the Republican, I'm not joking.
00:10:43.432 --> 00:10:44.375
Do you want me to show it to you?
00:10:44.534 --> 00:10:45.216
I'm pulling it up.
00:10:45.216 --> 00:10:45.958
I'm pulling it up.
00:10:46.880 --> 00:10:48.082
He is an asshole.
00:10:48.082 --> 00:10:57.565
He said to Chris Christie why don't you pack up and eat another meal or something like that?
00:10:57.565 --> 00:10:59.849
Like totally fat shamed him.
00:11:00.235 --> 00:11:01.961
Who is this person?
00:11:01.961 --> 00:11:04.749
Vivek Ramiswamy.
00:11:04.749 --> 00:11:06.354
I'm sorry, I don't know this person.
00:11:06.614 --> 00:11:08.501
I mean, I'm here to educate you guys.
00:11:08.501 --> 00:11:15.863
I know a lot of people may not be watching these things, but I am curious about who could potentially beat Trump.
00:11:15.863 --> 00:11:17.346
And good luck.
00:11:17.886 --> 00:11:18.769
Yeah, yeah.
00:11:18.769 --> 00:11:21.138
Well, I brought up this topic.
00:11:21.138 --> 00:11:28.541
That wasn't even meant to be a topic for the podcast, I hope that we trend in all the political podcasts.
00:11:28.541 --> 00:11:40.899
This week, I think the most trendy thing we need, though, is the ADHD podcast, I mean maybe that's how we should just market ourselves, because that's kind of what happens anyway.
00:11:40.918 --> 00:11:42.283
Yeah, it really is.
00:11:42.302 --> 00:11:43.385
I hope people follow.
00:11:43.385 --> 00:11:46.942
I mean they follow the ADHD is what I mean.
00:11:47.062 --> 00:11:51.227
Oh yeah, well, that's because of you, sarah, like you just weave it all together so beautifully.
00:11:51.227 --> 00:11:53.417
I'm so, so grateful, thank you.
00:11:53.417 --> 00:12:04.000
So yesterday I it was lunchtime and I ate my lunch, and normally I eat my lunch and then I feed my dog and I walk my dog.
00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:06.085
That's like a pretty normal.
00:12:06.085 --> 00:12:08.129
Is that a euphemism or no?
00:12:08.129 --> 00:12:09.844
It is is the truth.
00:12:09.844 --> 00:12:11.371
That's all I'm going to say.
00:12:11.371 --> 00:12:12.359
It's a true euphemism.
00:12:12.418 --> 00:12:15.436
I don't even know what walk my dog would mean, but it's kind of like it's cozy.
00:12:16.317 --> 00:12:21.769
So yesterday I had my lunch completely skipped feeding my dog and walked my dog.
00:12:21.769 --> 00:12:36.851
And so I get back after the walk and I'm like why the hell is Bell just fussing at me and I had forgotten to feed my own animal, and what is wrong?
00:12:36.851 --> 00:12:38.095
What is wrong?
00:12:38.917 --> 00:12:43.807
Honestly, that happens three to four times a week here, so I have no judgment.
00:12:43.807 --> 00:12:48.557
We're an animal cruelty podcast.
00:12:49.259 --> 00:12:49.460
Yeah.
00:12:49.580 --> 00:12:53.047
I mean, like I'm with you, sarah McLaughlin, here, sarah In the arms.
00:12:54.095 --> 00:13:00.971
There's a golden retriever far away from here.
00:13:01.152 --> 00:13:02.195
Support them today.
00:13:07.144 --> 00:13:08.066
Oh my gosh.
00:13:08.066 --> 00:13:10.549
But here's the way I look at it.
00:13:10.549 --> 00:13:13.437
If you forget to feed them, they're going to let you know.
00:13:13.437 --> 00:13:16.452
It's not like they're just going to sit there, so they'll eventually tell you.
00:13:16.452 --> 00:13:20.383
And then you're like oh, and then I always give them a little extra because of the guilt.
00:13:20.383 --> 00:13:22.106
So it all works out.
00:13:22.455 --> 00:13:29.438
Yeah, I just wanted to say that I have now invited myself to become a part of the ADHD community because I think something's happening.
00:13:29.438 --> 00:13:33.368
It's like I turned 48 and like shit is just like.
00:13:33.368 --> 00:13:35.576
It's amazing.
00:13:35.576 --> 00:13:40.368
The stuff I remember is awesome, like my job stuff, like I remember it really well.
00:13:40.735 --> 00:13:42.022
Oh, you just have to say that.
00:13:42.022 --> 00:13:44.554
I have to say that, yeah, I do I have to say.
00:13:44.554 --> 00:13:53.726
Yes, everybody's falling apart.
00:13:53.726 --> 00:13:56.370
We have passed our peak.
00:13:56.370 --> 00:14:05.246
I wish I knew that peak was coming, because I really want to take a more advantage of it.
00:14:07.754 --> 00:14:08.577
That's fair.
00:14:09.321 --> 00:14:24.120
It's like my mom is always telling me she's like, do it while you can, do it, while you're young, do it, and I'm like I might have lost that opportunity and it's just like that, right?
00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:26.885
Yeah, it's like I said the other day.
00:14:26.885 --> 00:14:32.927
I said it's like I turned 48 and every little thing in my body has taken its turn to go.
00:14:32.927 --> 00:14:34.251
Hey, guess what?
00:14:34.251 --> 00:14:35.274
Not working.
00:14:37.378 --> 00:14:41.044
I know and you know what it is falling apart.
00:14:41.044 --> 00:14:44.090
But I will say this I'm enjoying it more.
00:14:44.090 --> 00:14:50.048
I think yes, and maybe it's because you know that light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter.
00:14:50.048 --> 00:15:04.267
Maybe that creates emergency, I don't know, but I feel like I'm more in the present and I'm less neurotic than I used to be, which is saying a lot because I'm still very neurotic.
00:15:06.793 --> 00:15:26.419
Okay, Speaking of turning ages, so I recently turned 45 this in the past quarter, we'll say as of this recording, and I made an announcement the other day to my family and it was the following I am 45 and I'm starting to see signs of becoming an adult.
00:15:26.419 --> 00:15:38.537
Oh yeah, and I haven't seen these signs prior to and it, and like I'm absolutely being serious, like I'm starting to ask for help, which is very painful to do.
00:15:38.537 --> 00:15:51.643
I'm facing reality instead of running from it, which I'm excellent at, I'm like Every once in a while, I'm cleaning my house.
00:15:53.519 --> 00:15:55.596
That's huge, it's big.
00:15:56.695 --> 00:16:03.143
And I'm waking up and moving my body now, which, you know, I can't ever do just one thing at a time.
00:16:03.143 --> 00:16:15.780
So I also thought, wow, I'm starting to feel better now that I'm getting up early and moving my body, so I think I'll also wean myself off of antidepressants again, remember how that ran last time.
00:16:15.780 --> 00:16:17.220
Well, I'm upset too.
00:16:17.220 --> 00:16:19.138
Well, it's going.
00:16:19.138 --> 00:16:21.017
Similarly, is it.
00:16:22.638 --> 00:16:24.856
So how long have you been weaning, oh?
00:16:24.976 --> 00:16:25.659
I'm not off.
00:16:25.659 --> 00:16:30.245
I've taken a slow turn from 20 down to 5.
00:16:30.245 --> 00:16:34.602
Milligrams or pills Milligrams, milligrams, milligrams, milligrams.
00:16:34.623 --> 00:16:39.751
Milligrams, milligrams, milligrams, milligrams, milligrams, milligrams, milligrams, milligrams, milligrams, milligrams.
00:16:39.772 --> 00:16:40.793
Milligrams, milligrams, milligrams.
00:16:40.793 --> 00:16:42.940
I'm just popping on by the pill.
00:16:44.634 --> 00:16:49.019
Well, I mean, if you've been taking 20 a day and now you're only taking five, 20 milligrams.
00:16:49.019 --> 00:16:50.738
Yeah so yeah.
00:16:51.320 --> 00:16:53.245
I'm not quite off yet, but you know.
00:16:54.154 --> 00:16:55.839
OK, here's a question for you.
00:16:55.839 --> 00:17:05.723
In beginning or being in the middle of the weaning process what is your favorite drink to take your medicine with?
