I Lost My Christmas Baby...What Hobby Should I do?

Katie Van Slyke - Katching Up With Katie

The Farmer’s Almanac said we were in for a rough winter, and somehow that turned into weaning babies, sending Noelle off to her new home, and starting a full-blown grandma hobby night. Oh, and Kennedy decided to show off with nine embryos this week, so it’s safe to say things are a little chaotic around here. 😅

Between breeding updates, emotional goodbyes, and my questionable blue-light glasses choices, this week’s episode has a bit of everything. We’re talking Erlene, Sophie, Kennedy, Noelle, cozy barn life, and some late-night crafting chaos while planning for the World Show.


If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like trying to balance horse breeding, farm life, and everyday mayhem, welcome back to Katching Up With Katie.

Intro
0:02
[Laughter] I would have just started. I know we've  done this. We've been down this road. I almost
0:09
had a panic attack this week because I don't know  if you know this about me. I heavily rely on the
0:15
Farmer's Almanac for a couple of different things  in my life and it would be extremely inconvenient
Why I Almost Had a Heart Attack
0:21
if it went away. And everyone started flooding  my comments yesterday being like, "Oh my gosh,
0:27
did you see the 2026 Farmer's Almanac will be the  last one ever after 200 years?" And I was like,
0:34
I feel like this is a sign of the end of times.  First of all, that after 200 years, they're like,
0:39
"Yeah, this is the last one." Maybe they just  know because of using the Farmer's Almanac that
0:44
they don't need to make one for any more years  because this is it. But then I found out there
0:50
are two Farmer’s Almanacs. One of them is based in  Maine and it's been going for 200 years. But then
0:56
the other one is The Old Farmer's Almanac and it's  been going since 1730-something and that's the one
1:03
I use. So the one I use is still in publication.  So, I'm not quite sure the reasoning behind the
1:10
newer Old Farmer's Almanac ceasing publication,  but I had a little freak out because for some
1:17
reason, and I don't want to say that it's an old  wives' tale because it's been proven correct so
1:23
many times. Like, they have like an 80% success  rate on predicting weather a year ahead of time.
1:29
They can predict when is best to plant your food,  plant your vegetables, plant to get a haircut,
1:37
even to go hunting, to get a haircut. That's  what they say. And what is the adverse effect
1:44
of getting a haircut at the wrong time? It's  a bad haircut. Okay. I don't know. Okay,
1:48
that's fair. But we've always used it for weaning.  And a lot of people say with their own children,
1:56
like human children, try it with the next  one whenever y'all have one, that you use it
2:01
for taking away their pacifier, for weaning, for  potty training. Like I don't know how it works. I
2:08
don't know if it's the moon phases or the… I don't  know. But whenever we go by the Farmer's Almanac,
2:14
I usually just Google. I use Google instead of  trying to figure it out myself. I Google “Old
2:19
Farmer's Almanac best days to wean,” for instance  this month because we're weaning Jack. I was like,
2:25
“November 2025,” and it was like, do it on the  10th or the 15th. Really? Yes. So this is just
2:30
like a website? Well, they have a book and you  can get them in lots of… like I'm sure it's
2:36
for conceiving children, too. Maybe. I'm sure  they've got everything. Borderline witchcraft.
2:43
But I was just freaking out because I'm like,  I've had the chillest weaning experience for my
2:49
entire life because we've always gone by that  and we never have dramatic weaning. I'm like,
2:54
I just got to go… I'm looking into it… go into it  blind. Never done that before. So I'm very glad
3:02
to see that that is not the case. I'm safe for at  least a few more years. That's one thing. We are
3:08
weaning Jack on Monday. So this is like his last  little weekend with all of his donkey aunties and
3:16
he's going to get weaned with Gretchen. They're  going to go out together for a couple weeks to
3:21
settle in and then we're going to send them both  to Florida. Jack and Gretchen are going to Florida
3:29
for training. Training? Yeah. Are you going to  get into the mini horse side of things? Would you
3:35
show a miniature horse? No. Why? It seems like it  would be a good 4-H experience. Well, she's… yeah,
3:42
child experience. Well, I'm good on that. You  wouldn't want to drive one? No. What? No. See,
3:51
that's what me and Rebecca keep saying. We're  like, we need our little miniature horses that
3:54
drive and then we'll drive to each other's homes.  She's really wanting under a blanket if you could…
4:01
come here. Just to throw this out there now  that Katie has got me down this rabbit hole.
4:05
If anybody's interested, November 7th, according  to The Old Farmer's Almanac, is the best day to
4:11
move into a new home. Since nobody is doing that,  tomorrow, really the next three days, are looking
4:18
like the best days to bake. Okay. Wait. Begin.  November 10th is the best day to begin a diet to
4:26
lose weight. Wean calves, wean children. November  10th. Yep. November 11th, best day to travel.
4:35
Interesting. We're traveling the 13th, so that's  not… yeah. What does it say about that? Best day
4:41
to have dental care or pick fruit. Oh, we're not  even doing either of those. Any of these things,
4:47
dude. It has good days to get married, slaughter  livestock, breed animals. Yeah. Make sauerkraut.
4:58
Anyway, we could do this all day. I had no idea  that I… I'll be doing this all weekend. Just doing
5:04
whatever it says. Just planning out a calendar.  Dude, that would be cool. It would be a little
5:10
impossible. Maybe not. Just start doing all of  it. I get to cut hair or encourage growth. But
5:16
to like… I'm going to do 30 days of “I'm living  by it.” Yeah, it says get married on one of these
5:24
days. So, that would be cool. We can. Thank  you for showing me this. Anything is possible,
5:31
you know, because like we're not going to  just try to conceive a child for no reason,
5:35
you know? We're not going to just get married for  no reason. We're in the closet of Katie's bedroom.
5:42
The farmer's office. Stop it. So, I just… okay, I  just got a text. It's the last day from this last
5:53
round of ICSI that we could get embryos. So,  we did a round of aspiration last Monday with
6:02
Kennedy, Erlene, and Sophie. So, aspiration…  we actually just did a terms video on this,
6:09
by the way. If you wanted to go watch that  terms video that talks about breeding terms,
6:13
it's explained. Okay, so we aspirated, meaning  we got the eggs from Sophie, Erlene, and Kennedy.
6:21
Sophie and Erlene were towards the end of their  cycle, so they didn't give us that many oocytes to
ICSI
6:26
start with, but Kennedy gave us like 30 freaking  oocytes. Okay. So we split Kennedy up into two,
6:34
and I'm so excited. So, she ended up in this…  guess how many embryos total she gave from this
6:39
round. By the way, two is like awesome. Nine. I  said six first. Nine. So she gave us five RL… Best
6:50
of Seven embryos which is full siblings to Denver.  So now I think I have like 10 in the bank. So just
6:57
10 Denver clones. Just 10 Denver clones. And then  I think I have like 10 Machine Made… I have way
7:04
too many embryos from Kennedy. She's got to take  a break after this because too many. I think I
7:10
have like 10 Machines… anyway, also because  she had so many, we split it and I was like,
7:16
let's try somebody new. And I've always wanted to  see her bred with It’s A Southern Thing, and he's
7:20
deceased and so it's better to breed him through  ICSI because it uses less of his frozen semen
7:25
because it's precious. We can't make more. And so  I called Amy, his owner, like last minute, and was
7:31
like, "Does he have semen at Equate Embryo? Can I  have some? Like I have way too many oocytes." And
7:38
so we got four embryos from that union. So excited  about that. We got two from Erlene to VS Code Red.
7:49
So I think we have three of those in the bank now.  So that's the combination that made Noelle this
7:53
past year. And then unfortunately we didn't get  any Sophie embryos. Now it's not like I detach and
8:00
love them less. It's just like I just know they're  leaving. So I don't know. Like I just… I've
8:04
already accepted it. But there was something about  Noelle leaving this morning and I had to meet the
8:10
hauler at like 3:40 this morning. I choked up.  I didn't start crying, but I choked up and then
8:17
I went and watched sad horse videos for like an  hour when I got back to the house and cried and
8:22
sobbed. So, it wasn't over Noelle. But I did, way  down the driveway. No, wait. Like just chase run
8:28
in the dark after her down the driveway. Noelle.  She goes… but she was such a little… she was such
8:35
a good little girl. Like, you know, weanlings can  be unpredictable. They're young. She has been on a
8:40
trailer a few times, but it's always been with her  mom. But she walked right up on the trailer. Was
8:45
so good. She probably misses you a lot. Shut up.  She's going… we're not telling where the person
8:52
who she's going to. I'm going to let them do that  on their own terms, but she's going to Texas,
8:57
so it's going to be like a nine-hour drive. So  they got her a box stall so she could lay down
9:02
if she wanted to. But I'm very excited for her. It  was just… I don't know. She was our first little
9:08
baby. She was early. So, she was actually… she  was the first Noelle, almost two years old now
9:16
for AQHA because she was born December 26th. I  hope we don't have that again, but even then,
9:22
she's still so special. So, she is on her way to  her new home. That's our last baby to be sold this
9:27
year. The rest are like keepers for the moment.  But yeah, I mean I just went and… I don't know
9:35
why I do this to myself. I went and laid down and  I was like, you know, I just need to wind down.
9:39
Like I was up for like an hour at 3:00 a.m. And  so it's like, you know, 4:15 or whatever. I lay
9:45
down and I… why did I search The Horse Whisperer,  which I know y'all didn't never watch that movie,
9:52
but for my horse girls, I know y'all watched the  Robert Redford movie, the horse girl. Scarlett
9:56
Johansson's like 11 in it. And I watched the  moment… I don't know. It's like this story of
The Horse Whisperer
10:05
she rides her horse with her best friend down an  icy road. A truck comes, hits them all, kills her
10:13
best friend and her horse, and then she loses a  leg, and her horse is really badly hurt, and they
10:21
end up… because she's obviously messed up from  being on this ride and her friend dying, right,
10:27
and losing a dang limb. She's messed up. So, her  mom takes her out west to this horse whisperer.
10:36
It's The Horse Whisperer. That's what it's called.  This horse whisperer. To further traumatize her.
10:40
No, it's Robert Redford. Okay. And he… it's this  whole thing about their bond and this… by the way,
10:49
this horse is feral after the thing. So, he  wouldn't even let her touch him. Yeah. And so
10:54
it's this whole thing and so… Spoiler. It's like a  30-year-old movie. Spoiler. There's a moment when,
11:02
after he's worked with this horse, he teaches  it to lay down so that she can get on it. And
11:07
there's this slow-mo with this beautiful music  playing of him getting up with her on its back.
11:14
And it's so good. And I was just laying in  bed sobbing after Noelle left this morning.
11:24
I just went and punished myself with these videos.  Zero correlation with those situations whatsoever.
11:31
No, but I just went and let everything… kind  of like that surfing movie, that shark… Soul
11:38
Surfer. Soul Surfer. Very Soul Surfer vibes. I was  really into Soul Surfer. Is there a horse that if
11:44
they left you'd be sad? I mean, I choked up a  little this morning, but like I don't know. Is
11:49
there one that you're attached to at all that you  would be sad if they left? Nate. All right, Matt.
11:58
It's interchangeable. Yeah, I'm so sorry.  Individualism is gone. I mean, I'd probably have
12:04
been a little sad if I was there. I'd be sad to  see… I'd be sad to see you sad. Walter go. Yeah.
12:13
I'd be sad probably to see Molly go. Honestly, not  really. Daphne. She's not… yeah. Gra… I would be
12:25
sad to see Gracie go. Yeah, for sure. So, like  some key players that you've either been there
12:30
for their birth or like Gracie's been here the  whole time. Not any of the new characters. You're
12:36
not attached to any of the new ones necessarily.  I would be very… well, Maggie has been here. I'd
12:42
be very sad if Maggie left. Yeah. Or Charlotte.  I don't know about anyone else really. Yeah. So,
12:51
a couple of the babies and then recent mares…  like none of the actual… anybody that has history.
12:59
Matt, do you even know any names to throw out?  [Music] I would be sad to see you sad. That's
13:09
sweet. What are you doing? Being honest. I'm just  being honest. You're not though. With myself. I
13:21
mentioned the other day like if we ever did,  you know, some music recording and did like
13:26
a music video, and someone's like, if you don't  make a “because of the horses” like little sound
13:31
bite slash mini music video. It's in like a 1990s  Britney Spears music video vibe. It's kind of past
13:41
its time unfortunately. I think we're on to other  things. No, that's the thing. It never fully was
13:47
utilized. It was never developed into anything. It  was within conversation. It was maybe overused. I
13:55
like those glasses. We've talked about this. Yes.  You put them on. It was maybe overused for a time.
Should We Write a Song?
14:01
So, I think that… like I don't think anyone would  enjoy recording a song. So, for those that don't
14:07
know, because like it really was obscure and I  feel like it was used more behind the scenes than
14:11
on video. We can make a sound bite of it for the  podcast, but like… that's honestly what we should
14:16
do. Yeah. But there was a time, I think this past  foaling season is when we really were using it. It
14:24
was very overused for a time. But like anytime…  I mean when do you think we used it most? I feel
14:30
like we were on a… how did it happen? What was  it? Maybe like trying to write a song and somebody
14:39
just… I feel like it was you… just started like  freestyling or something. Because of the horses.
14:45
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There's probably more that came  before or followed by. And so then even when I'd
14:51
be in a serious conversation like, oh yeah,  we got to do this, and he'd be like, “because
14:55
of the horses,” because I can just hear like a  sitcom, like a Friends or something like that,
15:01
that you just hear like a little heart piano and  it's just a transition to the next scene. Like,
15:05
I hear that in my mind every time I say that.  Because of the horses. [Music] Full House.
15:16
Speaking of glasses, are those… do you actually  need glasses? They're blue-light glasses. They
15:21
are. Yeah. I mean, you're on the screen a lot, so…  Do you notice a difference using blue light? Like
15:26
less headaches or anything? No, they're more  of a statement. Okay. Nice. I like them. So,
15:33
I didn't realize saying, "Hey, I got glasses,"  and showing a photo would cause such bullying,
15:41
as me and Rebecca both went and had our eyes  checked for the first time in forever yesterday.
15:46
And so, she posted one first and… I think  thicker frames are in right now, like style.
15:56
And so she posted her photo first and I got some  that look very similar to hers. And everyone in
16:02
the comments was like, "Those are so big. Wow, my  mom had those in the 70s. I guess everything comes
16:11
back around. Not my taste, but you know," like I  don't know, just nothing positive. And so I texted
16:18
her because I assumed she had seen the comments  and I was like, "I cannot believe that you got
16:26
such giant glasses for your tiny little face."  And she was like, "What? This is you or Rebecca?"
16:33
This is Rebecca. Because she posted the photo  first of her glasses. And so I figured she had
16:38
seen the comments first before I texted her that.  And I was being sarcastic. And then she was like,
16:46
"What? What do you mean? I thought they looked  fine." I was like, "Oh my god." And I was like,
16:51
"Go look at your comments." And so then I posted  one because mine look so similar, being like,
16:58
"I just love glasses that are too big for my tiny  face." But I got two. I'll pull up pictures, show
17:06
you. I have like a negative 2.75 thing. I don't  know. Do you wear… I don't know. Y'all don't know
17:13
anything. And no, I have good eyes. I don't have  good eyes. That just sounded like a rough number.
17:18
That's not the worst. Like I think Nate said that  his wife is negative 6. Yeah. And go to negative…
17:26
I mean, there were people commenting yesterday on  my things being like I'm negative 8 or negative
17:30
whatever. And I have a slight astigmatism in my  right eye. But I got some thicker frames that
17:37
are green. I already showed you. Did you get the  text yet? Oh yeah. You're supposed to be looking.
17:45
And then don't judge me because the wire frames  I feel like could be bad or good depending on
17:51
what I'm wearing that day or like the… You look  so different. You look like a different person.
17:57
Glasses do that. I know. But this is like… I've  never seen somebody like Superman as much as you
18:02
are here right now. Like I mean, you are Clark  Kent and Superman right now. With which glasses?
18:09
All of them. Both of them. Like I would probably  walk by you in the coffee shop without… like if I
18:18
was in a hurry or whatever and just wasn't looking  around… I don't know if I would clock. No, I mean
18:25
those look different. Like the wire frames I feel  like are more for when I'm done up, you know? Like
18:29
I feel like… all I ever see you in is a cap. I  feel like you're holding in that you hate the
18:33
wire frames. I don't hate them. I don't hate them.  I like them. I think they're definitely like… but
18:42
girl, they're a statement. Yeah, I feel… they're  like nerdy for sure. They're better for when I
18:50
have makeup on and my hair is done. Whereas in  like a cozy sweater, those are not summer glasses.
18:56
These are for like this look. You know what  I'm saying? I like the sweater look though. So,
19:04
we'll see. Very Barnes & Noble. Very… I said this  yesterday, I'll say again. Harry Potter-esque,
19:13
which I think is a good thing. Speaking of  grandma activities though, so you know how
19:19
we talked about in the last episode like we're  needing the whimsy. We need… hello, what are we
19:24
doing? Not necessarily Christmas. Just whimsy. No,  just whimsy in our life. And so I noticed lately I
Knitting Hobby with Dani
19:32
have like… obviously I have hobbies because that's  like all I do all day, but my hobbies have turned
19:38
into work and so I need something that's not on  a screen. And like, I don't know. So I actually,
19:47
for a present, and I had to tell her because she  was going to end up seeing it anyway, for Lindsey
19:51
and Abigail I got them these little needlepoint  kits. Cross stitch. Cross stitch. I was literally
19:57
just saying you would like cross stitch. I got  them these cross stitch kits and then I was like,
20:02
"You know what? I used to love… I used to do it  in college." Like I would go to class and I would
20:06
knit. And so my friend Dani, like my best friend  Dani, she's been on here before. I was like, "Hey,
20:13
Jonathan's hunting. I'm home alone. Do you want to  come have a sleepover and we knit or learn how to
20:20
crochet together?" And she was like, "Absolutely."  So, I think today we're going to go buy some yarn
20:26
and watch a movie and knit. I'm also having a  sleepover with my friend tonight. It's a night of
20:32
sleepovers. I'm also having… Are you going there  or are they coming here? I'm going to Savannah's
20:36
house. Oh, that'll be fun. And I'm taking Moo.  She's also having a sleepover. Oh, because Millie
20:40
is her best… Wait, your turn. I'm also having a…  yes. So, Moo is best friends with my best friend's
20:47
dog. So, we get to go to sleepovers together  because they love each other. They love each
20:52
other and they play. I'll send you a photo, but  carry on because I gotta find it. But no, I mean,
20:59
you're good. It's just I feel like it's a first  step to creating the whimsy, you know? Yes. Like,
21:05
we might… you know, she's a health nut,  so I doubt we bake cookies or anything,
21:10
but you can make some oatmeal raisin… absolutely  not. Gluten free, sugar free cookies. Gluten free
21:18
is… on gluten-free stuff right now. Macy, but  she has… what? So, she has to… what? It's just
21:26
coincidental. Look at the photo real quick. Yeah, Savannah actually came for one of the
21:37
foal births last year. So, yeah, that was… oh,  no. Don't say that, dude. That's bad. That's
21:44
creepy. Moo, you have creepy friends. She loves  her. That's her best. You know what this looks
21:50
like? It looks like Professor Lupin's werewolf.  Oh my gosh, the eyes. Yeah. It's like the moment
21:56
he… like whenever they zoom in, like he turns  into… that's… what if she is just like a human
22:02
chilling, did you take a potion tonight?  Remember where your heart is? Isn't here.
22:14
Cut this out. Cut this out. No one wants to eat.
22:24
Oh, I would like to point out 90% of  the time when we're like, cut this out,
22:31
it's Matt just going off on his own little…  off the rails. I'm going to pull up the video,
22:38
though, and that sound will match. Like pull  up the video but put your sound over it.
22:48
I just love it, dude. I love it because it's so  good and I can… like I've seen it so much that
22:53
I can quote it and it's still good every time. It  is kind of a flex to just be able to start quoting
22:59
it. And there are certain parts that I think  I could quote, especially if I was watching it
23:04
at the same time and knew the context, but I don't  know. It's kind of cool to just be like… now I can
23:13
do that with the first Twilight movie. Absolutely.  For sure. Absolutely. But you could pick any movie
23:19
and I would be able to give you the intro dialogue  to any of the seven Harry Potter movies. I think
23:29
Order of the Phoenix. So when he walks up on  the swing set, they're all laughing. Harry
23:37
looks up to him, says, "Hey, Big D, beat up  another 12-year-old?" "This one deserved it."
23:49
Don't kill Cedric. But anyway, yeah. I mean,  this week I got sick. I think everyone's getting
23:57
sick. I had one day where… and I feel like this  happens like every six months or so because I get
24:03
congestion and everything pretty often. I feel  like I travel a lot and so I always get stuffy,
24:08
but truly like sick sick, and I can't work,  because generally we'll just still film and
24:14
all the things, but where I can't work, that  happened this week where I woke up on… I think
24:20
it was Wednesday and we were supposed to film,  and I called out. I was like, "Nate, you're 10
24:27
minutes away," because we track Nate all the time.  We're like, "Hey, we see that you just left. Turn
24:31
back around, go back home." Because that morning  I had a call at like 10:30 and so I had texted the
24:39
girls. I was like, I'll be out at like 10:00.  And so I got out of here at like 10:15 and I
24:45
had tried to sleep it off, but I had cold chills.  Then I was sweating, like obviously had a fever,
24:50
but nothing really else, like body aches, but I  just couldn't get going. And so we had to go tag
24:55
a couple of calves that morning and then we came  back at lunchtime at like 11:30, 11:45 and I was
25:00
like, I'm just going to lay down. I slept hard.  Like could not wake me up. Could not… like slept
25:07
hard until like 2:30, 3, and then we went and did  like an hour's worth of stuff because like I had
25:14
to… came back, went back to sleep immediately, and  I think I woke up when you came to grab ranch and
25:23
that's about it, because she came back at like six  to grab ranch for dinner and I was like, "Okay,
25:29
I guess I should get up," and like I had some  stuff in the crock pot. I was like, I guess I
25:32
should get it out and put it in the fridge. And I  sat up and posted a couple of things and then went
25:38
back to sleep at 8 and was just gone, like the  fever. And again, Jonathan's out of town. This is
25:43
posted after he gets back, so I don't mind saying  he's been out of town all week. No one to take
25:47
care of me. He called me and was like, "How are  you doing, babe?" I'm like, "No one's here to take
25:52
care of me. You're gone. It's your fault." And  so… but yeah, sick. Sick. I don't know what it is.
25:59
Sicky. I don't… well, I do know what it is. I get  sick when I go to do meet and greets and stuff,
26:04
which I mean I think that just goes hand in hand  with… y'all's fault. I don't mean that. I just
26:09
mean like anytime you're in high contact with  other individuals, it's such a higher chance of
26:16
contracting something. Yep. It's the last meet  and greet you'll do. So, thanks everybody for
26:22
ruining that, because I did two basically in a  row, because I went to… it was right after I got
26:26
back from High Point from the showcase, which was  great by the way. It was very fun. But we're about
26:31
to go to the World Show. We leave again. We're not  doing a meet and greet while we're there at the
26:35
World Show, but we are… I think we're there for  three full days. Hopefully going to watch Denver
26:40
successfully show. The one thing I'm super excited  for, I haven't told y'all we're doing this. So VS
26:46
Code Red sponsors a coffee cart. And so the first  morning we're there, we're driving it around and
26:52
serving people coffee and handing out hats and  whatnot. That's like your nightmare. I feel like
26:59
I'm… I'm a big coffee guy though. Yeah, I can  get you coffee. It's just like black coffee. I
World Show is Coming Up!
27:06
think you put like creamer in it. Yeah. It's not  anything crazy. It's not like iced latte. Well,
27:12
we can offer whimsy. It's… it's a John Deere  Gator that they've just… they put a big kettle
27:17
on. Yeah. Well, we can offer whimsy. It  looks nice. Like they did fab. Yeah. It's
27:24
definitely not hard. I just meant like talking. Yes, I think I would enjoy it more if they were
27:34
like iced lattes or something. But anyway, so  we're going to do the World Show. It's going to
27:38
be fun. It's not going to be nearly as long  as Congress. I'm not going to be showing at
27:43
all. There's no chance of me showing. You have to  qualify. You have to… it's not like the Congress.
27:47
The World Show is a lot smaller in numbers because  you have to qualify ahead of time and you have to
27:54
enter ahead of time. So like the Congress,  because there's no qualifications other than
27:58
being a registered Quarter Horse, you can enter up  until the day before and so it's bigger. There's
28:04
a lot more classes. There's a lot more divisions.  Whereas the World Show… it's just less classes and
28:09
it's a lot more set in stone as to who's there.  And so that's what we're doing next. It's… how
28:17
much time are we devoting to this coffee cart? How  much time are we devoting to the coffee cart? Like
28:22
we're doing it two mornings. Probably an hour.  Oh, why? I didn't know if it was like, you know,
28:27
you devote a whole outfit to it or it's like, you  know, a whole outfit, you know, the coffee outfit.
28:34
I don't think so. For the whimsy. I don't think  so. My new mission is every day to bring just
28:39
a little bit more whimsy. Just a little more  whimsy. I feel like serving the coffee is the
28:44
more whimsy. We're trying to break free. I've been  saying that a lot, too. Breaking free from what?
28:49
Breaking everything. From just the confinements of  yourself. Okay. Painting your nails. Break free,
28:56
dude. Okay. You know, and I see that in you. Yeah.  Break free. I'm like… I'm like Ethel. Not Ethel.
29:02
I'm like… what's her name? The one that just  left. Noelle. Noelle. Noelle. Yeah. She broke
29:07
free… on to better things. Okay. And on that note,  break free, everybody. Hope we see you in the next
29:15
one. Let us know… I kind of want the next one to  be a game because we have to film before we leave
29:20
for the World Show. And so there's not going to  be a whole lot happening between now and filming
29:23
the next one. So let me know. I think we should  do another game show of quizzing Nate and Matt,
29:29
but that's just me. Let me know what y'all  think. I think we should get a Switch for
29:34
foaling season. Oh, what? Because I played  a board game of Mario. Oh, a Switch. Oh,
29:40
like a Nintendo Switch. I should have prefaced.  I was like… like the switch my mama used to make
29:46
me go make out in the woods. Anyway, I'll talk  about that later. Anyway, see you in the next.
