[00:02:08] Speaker B: I loved watching it.
[00:02:09] Speaker A: It was.
It was so much fun. It would be fun if it was us three.

[00:02:15] Speaker A: But it was fun.
[00:02:15] Speaker B: There were so many things where I was like, jump. Like I wanted to say things, and I was like.

[00:03:05] Speaker B: I feel like we have a lot to catch up.
[00:03:07] Speaker A: I know, but we don't have much time because Michael will kill us if we do another hour.
[00:03:09] Speaker B: I'm talking 35 minutes. Let's bang out, baby.
[00:03:12] Speaker A: Bang out, baby.
[00:03:13] Speaker B: All right, we're back.
[00:03:14] Speaker A: Hi.
[00:03:15] Speaker B: Hi.
[00:03:15] Speaker A: Missed you.
[00:03:16] Speaker B: Winter break.
Did anything change for you?
[00:03:19] Speaker A: No.
[00:03:19] Speaker B: So was your husband home or was he working?
[00:03:22] Speaker A: He was pretty much home, which was nice, but you know him, you can't sit still. But it was fun to, like, we had lunch while the baby napped, like in the living room. Kind of watched our show.
We were playing house. It was kind of fun. Everyone's like, back to reality. I'm like, my reality has not changed.
[00:03:36] Speaker B: It's so funny because I. So now it's like a blur.
[00:03:40] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:03:40] Speaker B: But like, when I was in it, there were days where I was like, so happy. I was glad to have all five of my family members inside the house.
[00:03:47] Speaker A: And then part kids home or Joey home?
[00:03:50] Speaker B: Well, Joey home. Husband Joey, he couldn't last more than two hours doing nothing. Like he.
Well, let me backtrack Christmas. The big thing that happened in our house was Santa bought our son the only thing he wanted for Christmas, which was the Eiffel tower Lego set. 10,000 pieces. I don't know if you Lego people are out there, but 10,000 pieces. It was an 18 plus, oh my God extravaganza. So my husband and my 5 year old sat there all break doing this Eiffel Tower knock over. It's a joke.
It is five, five feet.
[00:04:29] Speaker A: So it's towards me.
[00:04:30] Speaker B: Tall. Taller than us. Oh, this big. I mean, I know.
[00:04:35] Speaker A: What's the point of it now?
[00:04:35] Speaker B: You got it? Yeah. Like right now. What? So we had to find a spot for it. We cleared a spot in his room. But, like, my point is they worked on it the entire break, which was great for me because it got them out of my hair. And they sat there. My husband was cracked out. Joey was so excited spending time with daddy. And they sat there and they did the fucking Lego and no one fucked it up.
[00:04:53] Speaker A: No one knocked it over.
[00:04:54] Speaker B: No, right now it's. It's good.
[00:04:56] Speaker A: It's actually pretty impressive.
[00:04:57] Speaker B: I mean. Yeah, it was. It's crazy.
[00:04:58] Speaker A: So that, like the biggest thing you guys Santa brought to your house?
[00:05:02] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh, yeah.
What about you Your fucking house is filled with shit.
[00:05:07] Speaker A: It's a zoo.
So we're clearing this room behind you and making it a playroom.
[00:05:11] Speaker B: Oh, that's smart.
[00:05:12] Speaker A: Getting rid of that table. That's good because I just can't. You see my living room? I can't even walk in it.
[00:05:16] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm seeing, I'm looking.
[00:05:18] Speaker A: So I mean, he's at the age where he just wants to play. So we got a Lego table, easel.
[00:05:24] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:05:24] Speaker A: Multiple chairs.
[00:05:25] Speaker B: And I feel like as your kids like go through different phases, you need to rearrange your worlds. Because like, I mean, I remember doing that. Like our basement was. We had a bar in our basement. We had parties in our basement. Like New Year's parties. We always had. Then it became a playroom and it slowly like got rid of all like the. Yeah. Man cave. Right, right. And now it's a full time zoo.
[00:05:47] Speaker A: Zoo.
[00:05:47] Speaker B: But like, we need it. Yeah, you do.
[00:05:49] Speaker A: You're so lucky you have that.
[00:05:50] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:05:51] Speaker A: I have a winery in my basement.
[00:05:52] Speaker B: Well, maybe. I know you're gonna move, but like.
[00:05:56] Speaker A: And on one day. Playroom is like big for me. I need a playroom.
[00:05:58] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean, you just need space to put the toys.
[00:06:01] Speaker A: I don't care if the playroom's a mess.
[00:06:03] Speaker B: No, you just need a space.
[00:06:04] Speaker A: Yeah. But anyway, Christmas was awesome this year. I have to say, this age I was turning to, the end of February was. I mean, next year probably even better, but this Christmas was better. And I had the best birthday ever. Thanks to you guys, my friends and my family.
[00:06:19] Speaker B: We did a big surprise I can't get over.
[00:06:21] Speaker A: I don't need to do anything the rest of the year because that birthday just topped it off.
[00:06:23] Speaker B: Did you guys. Did you and Chris talk about the surprise?
[00:06:26] Speaker A: No, cuz it was before.
[00:06:27] Speaker B: Oh, you.
[00:06:28] Speaker A: It was before we recorded before my birthday.
[00:06:31] Speaker B: Oh, that's true.
[00:06:32] Speaker A: Yeah. Sit on the secret too. Oh, I can't believe I held the secret.
[00:06:36] Speaker B: I can't believe you held the secret. I couldn't talk to her for two weeks, literally.
[00:06:39] Speaker A: But anyway, Santa was awesome. I love Christmas. I love the holidays. Now we're in the dead of winter and you know me, I hate the dead of winter. So we'll see how that goes. But I'm excited for the new year. I think 2026 is going to be a big year for everybody in my life.
[00:06:52] Speaker B: Good.
[00:06:52] Speaker A: Including us.
[00:06:53] Speaker B: Us. I feel good things. I have great vibes for us.
[00:06:56] Speaker A: Me too. Totally.
[00:06:57] Speaker B: I'm so excited about the future of Mama Clock and I. And I need I don't know. Something.
[00:07:04] Speaker A: I need a revamp, like, and everything.
[00:07:07] Speaker B: Should we talk. Should we talk about resolutions?
[00:07:10] Speaker A: Yeah, let's talk about resolutions. So I actually thought about this. I don't ever do resolutions because I want to actually commit. I'm not that type to, like. I'm doing resolutions and I don't go through with them. So I do have three. They're simple and cliche and whatever you want to call it, but I know I'm going to follow through.
[00:07:27] Speaker B: I love cleaning cliche.
[00:07:29] Speaker A: You do Love.
[00:07:29] Speaker B: My lips are burning. This pillow talk. Plump gasm. My. My lips are.
[00:07:35] Speaker A: They look phenomenal.
[00:07:36] Speaker B: Fire.
But I love it.
[00:07:38] Speaker A: I need that.
[00:07:39] Speaker B: Nobody needs lip injections this year. Just.
[00:07:41] Speaker A: This is not an ad. This is not.
[00:07:44] Speaker B: Wait.
[00:07:44] Speaker A: I love that.
[00:07:45] Speaker B: Oh, they're.
[00:07:46] Speaker A: They look good.
[00:07:46] Speaker B: They're on fire, but okay.
[00:07:48] Speaker A: Okay. Are you okay? Yeah, but they're really okay if they're lasting more like they're on fire for a long time. You might be allergic.
[00:07:55] Speaker B: I. I'm not allergic.
[00:07:57] Speaker A: Okay.
Lips start to blow.
Three resolutions for myself.
One, drink more water.
As you can see, I have my oala. I have to say oala over.
[00:08:10] Speaker B: Stanley, I was just going to say. Really?
[00:08:12] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:08:13] Speaker B: Why?
[00:08:14] Speaker A: No spill.
[00:08:14] Speaker B: Sleeker.
Sleeker.
[00:08:17] Speaker A: I mean, they come in all sizes. But no spill, no leak.
[00:08:20] Speaker B: Actually.
[00:08:21] Speaker A: Yeah, if it comes out of his straw.
[00:08:28] Speaker B: This is not a sponsor either.
[00:08:30] Speaker A: No, if it comes out of the straw, I guess. But, you know, if it's like.
[00:08:34] Speaker B: Yeah, okay.
[00:08:35] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:08:37] Speaker B: Right. It's gotta come out.
[00:08:38] Speaker A: Yeah. And it has two ways to drink it. Straw, and then a little sippy right here.
[00:08:41] Speaker B: All right. I gotta get myself.
[00:08:42] Speaker A: So Drake, more water is big for me.
Red light therapy. So my husband bought me a red light therapy machine.
[00:08:49] Speaker B: Is that that thing you put on your face?
[00:08:51] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:08:52] Speaker B: What does it do?
[00:08:52] Speaker A: It just says it's good for everything.
Body, internal, external.
[00:08:58] Speaker B: But it only goes on your face.
[00:09:00] Speaker A: No, it's not big. My husband just got me a stand. It's like kind of this big, but I do. You could do any body part. And it also removes, so you can, like, put it anywhere on your body. So red light therapy every morning.
[00:09:09] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:09:10] Speaker A: It's good for recovery. It's good for everything.
[00:09:13] Speaker B: I need recovery.
[00:09:14] Speaker A: And lastly, I want to work out, move anything for 20 minutes while he naps. I'm on a morning workout, girly. I'm just not.
So I want to do. Do at least three days a week.
Hopefully four if I'm home 20 minutes while he's napping. Just make time for that. Whether it's weight. I really want to do weight training. So just like arms, legs, butt. Why are you laughing?
Here she goes. Let's hear your resolution. So those are my three. Go ahead, let's hear yours. I'm dying to hear. No, no, those are all great.
[00:09:47] Speaker B: Those are good. I like all of those. I want to do those too. I need to drink more water.
[00:09:51] Speaker A: So what's yours?
Go ahead. Three or two or one.
[00:09:55] Speaker B: I think I want to be just like more intentional in my time, which could also go through with yours. Like for a nap, for example.
[00:10:04] Speaker A: Even if I want a nap. Actually that's a good way to put it. Intentional with nap time.
[00:10:09] Speaker B: Yeah, just like get more things done. I. I think I'm pretty lazy, to be honest.
[00:10:14] Speaker A: Okay, that's. So you're honest.
[00:10:16] Speaker B: Honesty is key and I need to set a goal and actually follow through with it, which I've been working on. And. And I'm going to continue working on it. And also I would like to not be more present because I feel like I'm pretty present with my kids, but I see how fast the time goes and I do think I am a culprit of like, doom scrolling. Like, I don't want to do that. Like, okay, if my kids ever say, like, mommy, put your phone down, like that's a red flag right there. Like, I want to not do that. Like, I want to be present in my kids when they're home.
[00:10:52] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:10:52] Speaker B: Because I see how, how fast it goes and I'm really treasuring these moments where they're home.
[00:10:57] Speaker A: I agree. Oh, that's a good one. Those are good. I love that. So don't be lazy.
[00:11:01] Speaker B: Right? Stop being lazy.
[00:11:03] Speaker A: Stop being fucking lazy and get off your phone.
[00:11:04] Speaker B: Yeah, okay.
[00:11:05] Speaker A: I love that.
[00:11:05] Speaker B: Yeah. And like, I would also like to work out, but we'll see, we'll get there. Actually, I did get a new trainer. He's five years old. His name is Joey DiNonzio and works my ass off.
He goes, so I have the mirror downstairs and he's like, mommy, let's just do it. I'm like, okay.
[00:11:23] Speaker A: Yeah, but that's so fun.
[00:11:25] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah.
[00:11:25] Speaker A: I got the aura ring for Christmas. Oh, no. For my birthday from my parents. And I'm obsessed with it. Tracks everything. I'm a huge fan of this aura.
[00:11:33] Speaker B: That's cool. I. I actually re. Joey, like, redid my Apple watch. And you still wear that a lot? No, I haven't worn it.
[00:11:41] Speaker A: I used to always wear. Because I remember used to answer my phone calls. Like, I'M on the watch.
[00:11:45] Speaker B: Yeah. But I haven't worn it in months and months. I found it, I found charger. I charged it.
[00:11:49] Speaker A: Oh, good.
[00:11:49] Speaker B: And I only really like to look at the calorie count and the steps. Like, I would like to have 10 more though.
[00:11:55] Speaker A: It checks your health, your heart.
[00:11:56] Speaker B: Yeah, it does a lot. But so I would like. I mean, I'm not wearing it now, but I like when it tracks like that.
[00:12:01] Speaker A: Me too. I mean this tracks like sleep.
[00:12:03] Speaker B: Yeah, that's cool.
[00:12:04] Speaker A: And like oxygen levels.
[00:12:06] Speaker B: Looks way cooler than Apple watch.
[00:12:09] Speaker A: And my brother Nicolette bought me this ring to go with it, which is like, makes it better.
[00:12:13] Speaker B: Makes it way cooler.
[00:12:14] Speaker A: Yeah.
So I love that for us. Yeah.
[00:12:18] Speaker B: I like, I like resolutions. I always think resolutions are so funny because like people.
[00:12:23] Speaker A: Let's start, let's go back to this episode at the end of the year though and see if we followed through.
[00:12:27] Speaker B: I like that. Okay. And I also, my husband, he, he wants to lose weight, which I love for him.
[00:12:34] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:12:35] Speaker B: And it's so funny because. Nice.
[00:12:37] Speaker A: Did he say I want to lose weight?
[00:12:38] Speaker B: Oh, that's his like resolution. He's like, we're hardcore diet. I mean, I'm not dieting but like my husband's diet. But my husband doesn't know how to diet. He's a, he's a middle aged Italian man who doesn't know how to diet. So it's so funny because like I'll be like, okay, but like the portions, the portion, it's really.
[00:12:53] Speaker A: Portion, don't eat, don't overeat.
[00:12:54] Speaker B: I mean like I.
Ozempic really obviously is such a tool for dieting. But like you also learn what your body needs. Like you don't need much.
[00:13:04] Speaker A: You don't need much.
[00:13:05] Speaker B: And I'm trying to teach him that.
[00:13:07] Speaker A: And also you're trying to teach him that.
[00:13:09] Speaker B: Yeah, like, no, it's funny. It's just like that's it.
[00:13:12] Speaker A: Yeah, you can eat whatever you want. Really. I mean, yeah, but you have to portion.
[00:13:16] Speaker B: The three bite rule.
[00:13:17] Speaker A: Yeah, like just eat air.
[00:13:20] Speaker B: Two eggs eat air.
[00:13:21] Speaker A: Do you want to talk real quick though?
[00:13:22] Speaker B: You love.
[00:13:23] Speaker A: So obviously everybody saw Alex Earl with Tom Brady and St. Bart. The whole shenanigans. Yes, I have something to say. Unpopular opinion. Okay, but do you have thoughts or something?
[00:13:35] Speaker B: Well, I do, but we have a whole. We're doing, we're doing three new segments.
[00:13:38] Speaker A: Oh, loose to me.
[00:13:40] Speaker B: Yeah, we have three new segments. The first one, if you want to do tea time, we can get into that.
[00:13:46] Speaker A: Let's go. Tea time. All right, let's. I'm not talking shit about Alex Earl.
[00:13:48] Speaker B: Yeah. All right, well, we're trying something new.
[00:13:50] Speaker A: Or trying something new because we're trying.
[00:13:51] Speaker B: To be a little more organized in our podcasting. We.
So the toasters are. We're big toasters. Like, to follow them. Giggly Scott, and.
[00:13:59] Speaker A: But, like, love them, but still love them individually.
[00:14:02] Speaker B: But. And, like, there's a lot of other mom podcasts that, like, we, like.
[00:14:07] Speaker A: Yeah.
So talk to me.
[00:14:10] Speaker B: We are doing this thing called Tea Time where we're officially adding pop culture into Mama Clock, which is hysterical.
[00:14:16] Speaker A: And for me, because I'm not. I, like, know what's up.
[00:14:19] Speaker B: Like, we talk about, like, what we see, but, like, we don't really know.
[00:14:22] Speaker A: Yeah, Like, I know what's up if someone brings it up, but I don't like pop culture. Deep dive.
[00:14:27] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:14:27] Speaker A: A lot of people live on pop culture.
[00:14:29] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Like, our social media.
[00:14:31] Speaker A: You never know who we're talking about.
[00:14:32] Speaker B: I don't know. So my problem is I don't know names. If you show me, like, a picture.
[00:14:35] Speaker A: Yeah, right, right, right. But it's weird because you're, like, such a Bravo girly.
[00:14:38] Speaker B: I'm a Bravo girl. I know names for Bravo people, but not, like, real life celebrities.
[00:14:43] Speaker A: Real life people.
[00:14:44] Speaker B: But. So we're gonna try it. Like, also, I think a resolution for me is I want to be more cultured. If it's pop culture or even the news history, I can't. History, like, the world scares me. But, like, I'm gonna try to.
[00:14:56] Speaker A: Yeah, me too.
[00:14:57] Speaker B: Maybe learn a little bit, because I.
[00:14:59] Speaker A: Feel like my husband brings up a lot of shit, and I'm like, I don't know enough.
[00:15:02] Speaker B: I don't know enough to have an opinion.
[00:15:03] Speaker A: Maybe I just don't want to know enough.
[00:15:05] Speaker B: It's hard. I'm. I'm like, ignorance is bliss in. Like that. But I would like to be a little more educated.
[00:15:11] Speaker A: Yeah, same. I would like to be educated, too. New Year's resolution, be more educated.
[00:15:16] Speaker B: Done. Okay, let's talk about Alex Earl. Okay.
[00:15:19] Speaker A: Okay. So I just want to preference with. I've been to Alex.
[00:15:21] Speaker B: Preface.
[00:15:22] Speaker A: Preference.
[00:15:22] Speaker B: Preface.
[00:15:23] Speaker A: What do I say?
[00:15:24] Speaker B: Preference.
What is it? Preface is like, when you want to talk about something.
[00:15:28] Speaker A: I want to preface something.
[00:15:29] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:15:29] Speaker A: Not preference. No, I want to preface something good.
Also learning vocabulary in the new year.
So I need to preface something.
I've been an Alex Earl fan since her acne days.
[00:15:42] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:15:43] Speaker A: Okay. I have brought Alex Earl into the community, into family and friends.
[00:15:47] Speaker B: First of all, she's A Jersey Girl.
[00:15:48] Speaker A: She's a Jersey girl.
[00:15:49] Speaker B: Her dad is a competitor of the d' Annunzio Construction.
[00:15:53] Speaker A: I have been a fan of her for a very long time.
I don't. What's that word when people like associate with like people on the Internet? Parasociate Power. Para.
[00:16:04] Speaker B: Para. I'm not sure, but I'll look it up.
[00:16:06] Speaker A: Okay, so trying to get familiar. Yeah, like it's called like when they. Power. Power.
[00:16:10] Speaker B: Oh, like make them bigger than they are.
[00:16:12] Speaker A: No, when you literally have a relationship with someone on the Internet.
[00:16:15] Speaker B: Oh, yes. Okay.
[00:16:15] Speaker A: I don't do that. But I've been a fan with her literally since the acne days when she was famous. Not famous when she was popular for showing off her real life skin, acne, all that. So anyway, I really am a huge fan of her. I love that she's skyrocketing. I mean, if that was me, I would around and get a T. Detached.
[00:16:32] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:16:32] Speaker A: Like I would enjoy my life a hundred percent.
[00:16:35] Speaker B: Yeah, I think it's.
[00:16:36] Speaker A: But it's pretty awesome. If you say, say at least. But this is where I'm gonna talk a little bit.
Tom Brady. She's canoodling with what I said.
[00:16:47] Speaker B: If you're listening.
[00:16:47] Speaker A: If you're listening. Alex, I do love you. But if you're canoodling with Tom Brady and St. Bart. Love that for you around and get attached. But what is so funny to me, her father is 49 years old. Tom Brady is 48. That's bizarre to me. Like I would just get the ick, not be like, I as Alex Earl would be like, let me rub your back and kiss you.
[00:17:11] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:17:11] Speaker A: And give a little Knuts Canoots.
[00:17:13] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:17:13] Speaker A: But Tom Brady, you're a fucking weirdo. You're 48 years old. You're as old as her dad.
[00:17:17] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:17:18] Speaker A: I mean, that's the ick to me.
[00:17:20] Speaker B: I kind of like an age gap.
[00:17:22] Speaker A: That's weird.
Not the age gap. I'm saying as long as your father. Her father's 49.
[00:17:27] Speaker B: Age gap. That's what it is.
[00:17:28] Speaker A: But that's weird.
[00:17:29] Speaker B: Like, imagine, imagine being like issues right there, honey.
[00:17:32] Speaker A: Who, who you. Who did you see in Zayn but Tom Brady? Well, he could be your father.
[00:17:35] Speaker B: I mean, yeah, but that's a lot of celebrities that are dating like, but.
[00:17:39] Speaker A: They'Re not crawling with. With a 29 year old. How old is she? 28? 29.
[00:17:43] Speaker B: I guess she's. Is she younger than us?
[00:17:45] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:17:46] Speaker B: Wow. I don't know. She literally.
[00:17:48] Speaker A: Oh, she might be 26, 27.
[00:17:51] Speaker B: She's really hot.
[00:17:52] Speaker A: I mean, but don't you think that's a little bizarre that she's. He's as old as her father?
[00:17:55] Speaker B: I mean. Yeah, but it's Tom Brady, so I mean.
[00:17:58] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:17:59] Speaker B: And also, don't you think Braxton is just like.
[00:18:02] Speaker A: That's like his icon? I think.
[00:18:03] Speaker B: Yeah. So he's like, of course.
[00:18:05] Speaker A: But honestly, like, Tom Brady gives me father intentions.
[00:18:09] Speaker B: Honestly, daddy, I don't really.
I don't. I mean, I'm sure if the opportunity came.
[00:18:13] Speaker A: She doesn't give me daddy. She doesn't give me daddy. She gives me fun, free spirited. She doesn't give me daddy vibes. Do you know what I mean?
[00:18:21] Speaker B: Yeah, but she kind of. I feel like she could be like a little bit of like this innocent little girl.
[00:18:26] Speaker A: She doesn't give me daddy vibes. Anyway, Alex, Earl, I'm proud of you.
[00:18:30] Speaker B: Keep doing what you're doing.
[00:18:32] Speaker A: So anyhow, love that for you. Saint Barth. The same bars, like the new place. Obviously now everyone's going for St. Bart's to St. Bart's but moving Ashley. Disney.
[00:18:42] Speaker B: Did you see that? No. So she's part of this celebrity mom group which is like Hillary Duff.
[00:18:48] Speaker A: I love Ashley.
[00:18:50] Speaker B: I don't really, like, know anything about her except for this.
[00:18:52] Speaker A: Okay, go.
[00:18:53] Speaker B: But like, so, so think about celebrities. Like, they all live wherever in a probably Hollywood star community. Right. And they have mom friends. And this Ashley Tisdale is with Hillary Duff, Mandy Moore.
[00:19:09] Speaker A: Jenna, doing.
[00:19:10] Speaker B: Yeah, I don't know who that is.
[00:19:12] Speaker A: Yes, you do.
[00:19:13] Speaker B: I need a picture.
[00:19:14] Speaker A: That's who used to be married to Chad and Tatum.
[00:19:17] Speaker B: Oh, yes, I know, right? I'm not sure.
2026 we're working on.
[00:19:23] Speaker A: And Vanessa Hutchins. They're all in a mom friend group.
[00:19:25] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:19:26] Speaker A: So tell me about it. What, are they having, like, sex with each other?
[00:19:28] Speaker B: No, they're just like mom. They. They vacation together, they're raising. I'd love that. Yes. But the big thing is, and Ashley said that it's toxic. This friend group is toxic. She wants no part of it anymore. She.
[00:19:39] Speaker A: There was people or what they're doing.
[00:19:41] Speaker B: Things that they're doing. But shoot. I was reading this article from People. Ashley was. She talked about it and she was like, I don't know why it's so hard to talk about. Motherhood has enough challenges without having a wonder if the people around you are on your side.
[00:19:53] Speaker A: Right.
[00:19:53] Speaker B: And she goes, you deserve to go through motherhood with people who actually know you and like you. Which I thought is like, I actually.
[00:20:00] Speaker A: Saw that on people.
[00:20:03] Speaker B: I was like, okay, like, yes, motherhood is hard enough. Yeah. So.
[00:20:07] Speaker A: But it's not who your real friends are.
[00:20:09] Speaker B: If you're not gonna surround yourself with moms who lift you up, fill your cup, do all that, then why be friends?
[00:20:16] Speaker A: Yeah. And it's so funny coming. It gets so weird to hear from celebrities.
[00:20:19] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:20:19] Speaker A: That still happens, right? They're humans.
[00:20:21] Speaker B: Yeah, they're humans, too. So. Yeah.
[00:20:22] Speaker A: So that's leaving the mom group up.
[00:20:24] Speaker B: Leaving the mom group Sin and.
[00:20:26] Speaker A: Well, she, like, feeling left out.
[00:20:28] Speaker B: No. Well, she said it was getting really high school. So. What comes with high school magic?
[00:20:32] Speaker A: Like Vanessa Hutchins, Mandy Moore, all acting high school.
[00:20:35] Speaker B: I mean, I could see it.
Yeah, but it does. Like, so in life, you meet your mom friends later in life. Right. Because you meet your mom friends when you have kids. When you have kids. And I have seen my friends that have made mom friends. Like, there is high school shit that goes on. Like, this mom didn't invite this mom to a play date. This mom invited this couple out to dinner.
[00:20:58] Speaker A: Full circle.
[00:20:59] Speaker B: It's four. Full circle. And it's crazy. And I really. I don't know how to, like, escape it because, like, I. I guess it's just like, people being like, you're the.
[00:21:09] Speaker A: Girl that no one involves, though, with the drama.
[00:21:11] Speaker B: I mean, I. I just don't want any part of it.
[00:21:14] Speaker A: Yeah, you definitely don't.
[00:21:15] Speaker B: But it definitely happens. And I see it. I've seen it firsthand. I've heard people talk about it, and it's so funny and. But I do think it has a lot to do with the people you surround yourself with, the town you're in total. The type of moms you're friends with, a lot of it.
[00:21:30] Speaker A: Your school type of kids that you surround your kids with. Yeah, totally.
[00:21:35] Speaker B: So pick. Pick your friends wisely.
[00:21:37] Speaker A: Yeah. So we called that segment our tea time.
[00:21:40] Speaker B: Yeah, I like it. We have to.
[00:21:42] Speaker A: We got to be a little educated, but we're fine. Okay, let's. Let's move on. What's worth our time? This is our other segment that we're getting into. Another thing we're going to talk about on this podcast, Mom Clock, is what is worth our time. It could be something as small as Dunkin Donuts. What is worth our time?
Our bog bags. Right? Worth our time. Like, we are just going to tell you this week what is worth our time. You have a lot here.
[00:22:05] Speaker B: Well, I had a lot of things to fill my time when I was home with 14. 14 days straight with kids.
[00:22:12] Speaker A: So what's worth your time? I don't know what's worth my time. Nothing is worth my time.
[00:22:16] Speaker B: Do you know what's actually. Well, so I already said the lego. Like buying your kid a Lego. If they're into Legos. That is worth my time. Like, okay.
[00:22:23] Speaker A: Worth your time to buy those big life size Legos?
[00:22:26] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:22:27] Speaker A: On Amazon.
[00:22:28] Speaker B: Yes. Because it took up a lot of time. I mean, when you're home with three toddlers all day, every day for winter.
[00:22:36] Speaker A: I was just talking about this.
[00:22:38] Speaker B: You have to be creative. Want to know how I was creative?
[00:22:42] Speaker A: Worth your time.
[00:22:43] Speaker B: Worth my time. I made a.
I called it a swim up bar bath. So I put all the kids in a bath. In the bath. I put snacks on a tray in the bathtub. I set up their iPads.
[00:22:58] Speaker A: She would. Right in the water.
[00:22:59] Speaker B: Well, yeah, so I mean, there was soggy goldfish in the water, but like, who the fuck cares? Yeah. And they had a fucking ball. I think they sat in that bath for an hour pretending it was a swim up bar. Yeah. I mean you have to think of things that keep your kids entertained and out of your hair.
[00:23:16] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:23:16] Speaker B: Joe and I, we played this game. We said, mommy and daddy are going upstairs. Who could last the longest without bothering us? Who could stay downstairs the longest? And you're at a stage where you.
[00:23:27] Speaker A: Can leave them all downstairs.
[00:23:28] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh, now we can.
[00:23:28] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:23:29] Speaker B: So we played a game like who. Who. Who could last the longest without coming upstairs? I think they lasted like it was like 35 minutes. Oh, wow. And I mean we. You could get a lot done in 35 minutes.
[00:23:40] Speaker A: A lot done in 35 minutes.
[00:23:42] Speaker B: You can make five kids in 35 minutes.
[00:23:43] Speaker A: Yeah, I love that. What a good game.
[00:23:46] Speaker B: So that was game also, hide and seek took up a lot of time. Worth our time.
I mean, I think I hid in the car at one point.
[00:23:55] Speaker A: Can't find mommy.
That's funny. I love that.
[00:24:00] Speaker B: What else?
Oh, the new show K Pop took up.
Yeah, the purple hair. I mean it's not a show, it's a movie.
[00:24:08] Speaker A: So did we watch that on the time? Did you go anywhere? I feel like I didn't see you.
[00:24:12] Speaker B: Yeah, like we, we went to play. I mean we laser tat. Have you.
[00:24:15] Speaker A: Oh yeah, I saw.

[00:24:19] Speaker B: Oh well, I haven't done it.
[00:24:20] Speaker A: I'm not adult. Like when we were in kids.
[00:24:22] Speaker B: Yeah, but like as an adult.
[00:24:23] Speaker A: No.
[00:24:24] Speaker B: It is so fun.
[00:24:25] Speaker A: Did Joey go?
[00:24:26] Speaker B: Yeah, it was me.
It was me, Joey, Joe And Vienna. And we were. It was the girls versus the boys, and it was so fun.

[00:24:35] Speaker B: Rocco wasn't with us.
Rocco stayed with my mom.
[00:24:38] Speaker A: Oh.
[00:24:38] Speaker B: So he. You have to be 42 inches to do laser tag. I made Vienna stand on her tippy toes somewhere. Did you? Yeah. I didn't know that at the place that we went, so. Yeah. But it was so fun. Like, we were like little kids.
[00:24:49] Speaker A: Like, laser tag is so fun.
[00:24:50] Speaker B: Joe and I were, like, trying to get each other. It was, like, fun.
[00:24:53] Speaker A: I love that.
[00:24:54] Speaker B: Yeah. So we did that. That's definitely worth my time.
You know what else?
Not the thousands of toys. My kids got, the fucking boxes that they unwrapped.
[00:25:06] Speaker A: Oh, yeah.
[00:25:06] Speaker B: Where's the John?

[00:25:08] Speaker B: My kids, we had the giant Eiffel Tower box. Came in, like, the size of this table was the box. They made it a fucking rocket ship. They made a school bus. They painted it. They did so much with the box.
[00:25:19] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:25:20] Speaker B: And the toy.
[00:25:21] Speaker A: So much with a box.
[00:25:22] Speaker B: Like, a box. I mean, they spent hours on that box.
[00:25:26] Speaker A: So box is worth your time.

[00:25:40] Speaker A: I just got rid of it.

[00:25:42] Speaker A: Oh, my God.
[00:25:43] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. So we got it for Vienna and Rocco.

[00:26:07] Speaker A: I've had that since he was little.
[00:26:08] Speaker B: Yeah. Also, I played this game where we played. We played Santa Claus with my kids. The kids had to find something that they hadn't played with in a long time in the house, and they had to wrap it themselves.

[00:29:54] Speaker B: This is good.
[00:29:55] Speaker A: And we are going to wrap up this segment and Mama Clock Episode 31 with this story. Go ahead.
[00:30:01] Speaker B: Okay, so I'm sitting back.
This mom was. It was over winter break and she was going to like a Christmas tree farm place. Have you ever been to a farm that like cut down trees? Yeah, but just like a. It's kind of like an orts farm. Like. Yeah, yeah, but like the parking lot is so far and if it's really crowded, it's like miles.
[00:30:26] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, it's like orchids. That farmer farm.
[00:30:29] Speaker B: Yes. I have no idea where it was. No idea. We don't know who this, this person is. Okay, Just bear with me. And so she was meeting her sister at this farm and she had her two kids in the car. She was two under two in the car. And she finally parks the car and she has to go to the bathroom. Like, poop, poop, like so, so bad. And her sister calls and says that she's 10 minutes away and she finally found a spot that was like a mile to like the entrance. Okay, so like, what do you do?
[00:31:00] Speaker A: This is why I don't go anywhere.
[00:31:02] Speaker B: Right. So she like was in a full fucking panic. She had two babies in the car seat. So she had to think quick because, like, if you, if you undo the car seats and try to run to the bathroom like you're actually a mile away.
Pants. And then if you drive to the entrance, you can't leave the kids in the car because like that's crazy. So she, she did. The only thing I think a genius mom would do is take her 2 year old size 5 diaper and put it on.
[00:31:35] Speaker A: Are you lying?
[00:31:36] Speaker B: And in the kids diaper.
[00:31:40] Speaker A: Wait, that is genius.
Now I am no longer scared.
[00:31:46] Speaker B: Honestly, I was like, you're a genius.
[00:31:49] Speaker A: I mean it was just like a poop. But it had to be urgent. It wasn't like diarrhea.
[00:31:52] Speaker B: No, it had to happen. And a diaper was there with wipes.
[00:31:57] Speaker A: So I just picture she was like, hold on you guys, I'm just gonna poop real quick, put the diaper on, take off her pants, poop.
[00:32:03] Speaker B: And that was it. And her sister met her.
End of story.
That dropped the mic.
[00:32:09] Speaker A: Is insane.
Wait, I'm so happy for her that she got her poop out. I mean. Yeah, what else would you do? What else would you do though?
[00:32:17] Speaker B: I mean, your pants, you have, you have only two options. You, your pants or I guess you on the floor. On the floor.
[00:32:25] Speaker A: Which you've done.
[00:32:26] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:32:27] Speaker A: Or you in your five.
[00:32:28] Speaker B: In your, in your. Wait, five.
[00:32:31] Speaker A: So I guess they're still in car seats because she was in five diapers.
[00:32:33] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean Rock was in size six. Yeah.
[00:32:37] Speaker A: Imagine if you're in a panic in your kid's diaper.
That's insane.
[00:32:42] Speaker B: It's a good story, let me tell you.
[00:32:45] Speaker A: Was she like. Yeah, it was fine.
[00:32:46] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean she wiped with her.
[00:32:48] Speaker A: Her Pampers and then she went on a merry way.
[00:32:51] Speaker B: Got a Christmas tre.
[00:32:55] Speaker A: I'm so happy for this, mom.
[00:32:56] Speaker B: I love you, whoever you are.
[00:32:58] Speaker A: That is hilarious. I need to know who it was now.
[00:33:01] Speaker B: Not gonna tell you.
[00:33:03] Speaker A: Well, that wraps up this week's episode.
[00:33:07] Speaker B: Does it? Was it so quick?
