[00:00:15 ] Jay: What’s up? It’s always good to be here. Also, sorry if I sound not like me. I’ve been, I’ve been conferencing a lot lately. So,

[00:00:24 ] Christina: The voice, the voice goes out a little

[00:00:25 ] Brett: good. You sound good.

[00:00:27 ] Jay: the voice is always low.

[00:00:29 ] Christina’s California Adventures

[00:00:29 ] Brett: And Christina just got back from California.

[00:00:32 ] Christina: I did. I did. And I’ll be back in California in a week.

[00:00:37 ] Brett: That’s a lot of California.

[00:00:38 ] Jay: That sounds like my July.

[00:00:41 ] Christina: Yeah. Yeah. Um, this, this was not like an intended thing. Like, Christina thought that she was going to be in California. Last week, and then was asked to, well, thought that the ask was to be in California for maybe a day or two next week.

[00:00:56 ] Christina: Turns out, no, I misinterpreted some things, or maybe some things are [00:01:00 ] misinterpreted to me. Regardless, I’ll be in San Francisco the week of the 24th through the 28th, so

[00:01:07 ] Brett: started that in the third person and finished in the first person. That was a,

[00:01:11 ] Jay: I love it.

[00:01:12 ] Brett: that was a cool transition.

[00:01:14 ] Jay: I, um, I made the, the concerted commitment with the job that I’m at to not travel a lot. And then after.

[00:01:21 ] Travel Plans and Pet Dilemmas

[00:01:21 ] Jay: Uh, my wife and my daughter are planning a month long trip, um, also to California and I’m staying home to do work. It was like, well, I could probably travel a little bit more. So the, the week of like July 8th, I’m going from New York, from New York to Toronto.

[00:01:43 ] Jay: I’m back home for two days, then I fly back to New York, and then I’m there for another four more days. I get back, I’m back for a week, and then I fly to London for the Relay event. And I was just like, I did not realize how stupid I was in all of my [00:02:00 ] bookings.

[00:02:00 ] Christina: right, right. Yeah, it totally, if you thought about that more, like, you probably would not have, like, gone back and forth between, like, Toronto and and home just to come back to New York,

[00:02:11 ] Jay: Well, it’s like I have to, I would have to pay And like, our, our company was like, we’ll pay for the event plus a day before and after. So I was like, okay, that’s awesome. But that also means that I like fly home for three days and do nothing. And then like, do I even get my dogs out of like the pet hotel at that point?

[00:02:34 ] Jay: Or like, do I just leave them in?

[00:02:35 ] Brett: Of course you do. You gotta see your dogs.

[00:02:39 ] Jay: I mean, they’re kind of dumb. I love them, but they’re kind of dumb.

[00:02:44 ] Christina: Well, no, but that is like a hard thing to figure out like yeah Cuz you’re there like just long enough where you’re like, okay It does make sense for me to pick them up, but I’m gonna have to drop them back off Anyway, probably the day before I leave depending on when I’m leaving. So you’re like, okay So is it worth it for 24 [00:03:00 ] hours, right?

[00:03:00 ] Christina: Like is it like yeah, that that that That’s a hard calculus.

[00:03:04 ] Brett: I think it would take me like two weeks to miss my dog. Um, like she’s lovable in short bursts, but Man, like, give me a week away and I’m like, oh, man, I don’t miss that dog.

[00:03:18 ] Jay: I feel like it’d be cool if I could just do visitation rights. Just like, Hey, can I just go to the pet hotel and be like, Hey, I see you.

[00:03:24 ] Brett: There you go.

[00:03:25 ] Jay: look

[00:03:25 ] Christina: I mean, honestly, I mean, honestly, that would be the best thing. You’d be like, look, I’m going to continue to pay you continuously. But like, I would love to take, can I take the dog out? Can I take him out for a walk?

[00:03:34 ] Brett: Yeah. You get all, you get all the fun, the visitation. You’re like the, the divorced dad who, who gets to like spoil his kids on weekends and then doesn’t have to do childcare the rest of the week.

[00:03:49 ] Christina: Mom is so pissed. Mom in this case is, is, is, is the pet hotel. Although the pet hotel is getting

[00:03:54 ] Jay: they’re getting paid. You’re getting, you’re getting dog support. Like, I feel like

[00:03:57 ] Christina: to say

[00:03:58 ] Brett: lik
