I'm Running Mojave
‘Tis the week for our unscripted conversation!
Awkward? Yes.
Cringy? Mmmhmm.
Fun? The most.
Here are a few highlights:
0:37 — Why we got “Sad Mac’ed” while recording our pod
2:00 — News about our beloved fish camp, our nostalgic trip this week, and our surprise rendezvous
4:26 — Discussion of our mom’s reaction to our first unscripted Knock It Off convo (“You girls sure had a lot of fun . . .”)
8:06 — Kara gives an update on how it’s going trying to abstain from Starbucks (one of Kara’s 24 improvements for 2024) (Kara: “I’m doing what I need to do on it.” Bethany on the money aspect: “Eight bucks a day keeps bankruptcy away! Save that money for your future!”)
11:19 — Bethany discussing her relationship with Apple (“Guess what? I’m running Mojave.” “It’s all part of this grand scheme to get me to buy a new phone . . . and a new computer.” “They are backing me into a corner.”)
16:47 — “Ask Bethany” segment! A very vulnerable question for Bethany from our Substack Community. Have a question to submit? Get ahold of us wherever you can or leave it in the cawwwments!
20:06 — Super Bowl reactions (Taylor’s version, of course)
21:28 — Bethany talks about her son’s request to have a specific dinner from 2022 (“Replicate it.”)
22:53 — “Taste of Kara”: Kara talks about her recent Virgin River spiral (“I can’t quit Virgin River, no matter what I try. I can’t figure out what’s sucking me in.” “Don’t taste this.”)
27:00— Bethany’s deep dive into the Gilded Age (Here’s the link for Anderson Cooper’s book we discuss— Vanderbilt: The Rise and Fall of an American Dynasty)
39:15 — Bethany talks taking her kids to a recent 20th Anniversary screening of Napoleon Dynamite and actor interviews (Bethany on failing to expose your kid to the arts: “He’s going to turn into that businessman who played soccer when he was a kid.”)
47:10 — We thank anyone still listening (“Let us know in the cawwwments what you want for next time!”)
