we have kids volunteers could get in there get warmed up headquarters yeah get a cup of coffee just so cute I love that I figured it's just sitting in my Dy why don't we use this as a mobile office for us that is so cute I actually love that so I'm in there and you saw the video and if you've not seen my little video I'm in there cleaning and I'm like up on this cabinet and I can't see fully into the cabinet so I just did one of those like Mom swipes in there and as I swiped this mouse like jumped I thought it was alive first off and I'm like my husband came running in he was inside the house and he heard me scream so I'm surprised I have a voice today I thought it jumped at me but really it was just so old and mummified and like hard a flat like a yes it was Flash so gross so gross so we are like wiping it into my face and I'm like I need a break of that I can't do that Duty anymore just for a little while it's like CR you know the screams in which you call your husband for the things that you don't really need them for but you need the support want them moral support I need the support or just to do the nasty stuff yes exactly come get this it's grossing me out that's what husbands are for right so yeah that that was my Saturday yesterday I got to go off cape and I saw that a friend of mine got tickets to he's a season ticket holder at Providence Performing Art Center so it's not always that he can fill the seat that he goes to yeah and he had an extra one and he goes do you want to see shucked and I said I actually do it's it's a musical about corn I didn't know there was so much to talk about corn it is really witty and very very funny but seated next to me on the left was this woman that is clearly an upper echelon theater goer this was not the show for her she was why did she go to it exactly she was so grumpy and unhappy and anytime there was a risque joke or something that was borderline you thought was really funny hysterical I'm there laughing out loud did you know me I'm not quiet and she just got smaller and quieter and the lips were like pursing and I was like oh this lady is not she does not want to be here today the disapproval was so bad y I'm sure there I'm sure there's going to be a lay Miz or something that you be able to enjoy with your art pass but Lady it's the maybe should have been in Boston Performing Art Center right like Italy is that where they do it right if you want to go take in an opera there are better places for you what's up Liz hey Lauren Jackie Nate thanks for joining us on the show we've got cat sedron here today and uh so maybe you can talk about just all the things that you are are into at this point in time I mean being a mom and how old are your kids they're four two Yep they're four and two um my hobbies include rocking them to sleep not giving them melatonin every day it's so hard no I've been getting back into reading good yeah like I've started reading again through horror of course because you know where would my anxiety be without a little bit of horror pour it on yeah it is the season that's why yeah so I've been reading some more um um you know we've just been chugging along with work we we like to travel we've got a few trips planned yeah so you I love that you're traveling with the kids when they're young I think it's so important that they get comfortable that they get comfortable with being uncomfortable and kind of shaking up their script a little bit we've always traveled with our kids and people always were like you are you're crazy it's so important I tell all my friends that have kids I'm like for your own mental health you need to bring them places like take them out and if people look at you who cares honest to God right like one of my girlfriends I'm so proud of her she just had a baby um her baby's what like two three months Taylor She's the cutest little peanut and my friend Kristen takes her everywhere and I am so proud of her absolutely they need to be involved it's such an American thing um to not take your kids places to get babysitters Europe everywhere there's kids in bars there's kids out there all all day all night when um cliff and I went to Iceland there was stroller parking outside of the restaurant they left their kids in the stroller parked outside the restaurant like in a line a bunch of them yeah outside unattended in the cold there's your kid they bundle them up but the cold the temperature is supposed to be really good for the kids to sleep so they let them sleep outside I think they they say it's good for their immune system yeah so I'm all for it it was wild to me to witness at first but then and I and can tell you this as we've traveled with our kids extensively uh overseas where they treat you you and your family so well oh yeah they love kids they love families they love seeing they give you special treatment they're really really kind about it and they give you so much extra time they're really really nice about it they really appreciate kids and they appreciate families which is really nice because here you can get like we've taken our kids to like Davos like you know we take them into Boston and we we don't stop I'm still going to get my espresso martini that's it wherever we are so exactly you can get bet your butt that I'm going to be sitting you know at a restaurant with them and they've always been so good but you get so many looks yeah yeah absolutely I think it's just important to take them with you you recently went where did you go last me and my husband were in Florida um we went for a few days uh just to get away just me and him that's ni yeah it was really good he's super good about it um and you've got family support yes I do yeah my mom my mom and my dad

the kids no God no not to that there's mommy and daddy time yeah sayar that's awesome though I mean well I you were talking about just being Greek and I think that that's that's a whole thing it's it's a big we've done a lot of events we've worked with a lot of Greek families on the cape and I I love Greek people I think that you are very wonderful very involved and very much gonna tell you the way it is well we're very uppr that's honest to God I think that's like a core thing in who you are you have to be honest it's hard sometimes it really is but honesty Integrity it's literally the only thing you have in your life that you build and that you can keep on your own you know what I mean yep and without your word or your integrity you're nothing you're not wrong about that what's up Pete

coffees you said this is the first time you've gotten a Duncan in a long time yeah and it's I'm really actually pleased I'm a coffee snob I really am I know same and I enjoy good coffee and I was like crap there's there's no Starbucks around I didn't have time to make it this morning um I had to get Teddy ready for school and everything and then I stopped at Dunkin' donuts and I was like I'm gonna try it but it's really good yeah it's like actually T coffee when you rest it for a while then when you go back you're like oh it's not as bad as my mental brain put it well my mom said it was like the rinsing the coffee mug she said their coffe is like rinsing your coffee mug at the end of like the with water and that's what it tastes not that I'm fearful of ever getting a sponsorship with Duncan but but it's really good if you get their lattes and other ones then it's not so bad shout out to you Carrie matus I know you work really well with the with our Duncan j1's we get Dunkin Donuts j1's every year yeah yeah they had the thing up that really cool so they checked in with me my my Jamaican girls have been gone now a month and they're like they just sent me did you have them summer yeah I've had Duncan girls for the last three three or four Summers no way so this past summer we had two girls from Jamaica the summer before that was the two girls from Kazakhstan they they they weren't they didn't like us I tried a little too much they were not super friendly and I don't know if that was a cultural thing or not um the year before that we had two girls from turkey and the I loved them they were like so cute they loved coffee they brought us Turkish coffee so good isn't it delici oh it was amazing with little Turkish Delights and they were like would you want me to read your coffee grounds they like showed us videos of their dancers they have male belly dancers did you know this no I had no idea would been on this train a long time ago male belly dancers existed but they do apparently and now it makes me want to go visit Turkey just to see them in real life so we when we go to Greece you can see turkey it's like a bol rid yeah it's absolutely stunning I that's on my list so lemono we are doing a cruise uh coming up in May it's going to be a quick fast cruise it's on Virgin so it's only adults it's promises to be like the best food we're going to have but this is the gear up to our big long European Cruise so we're going to do the aan I know in 2027 so I'm really looking forward to that so it'll be a little bit of like um de brnik uh Greece and uh I'm in Montenegro so like a Boop to Italy a little bit uh but it's on my list we're we're doing it well see it's hard because like everything is geographically close together in Europe but you don't get to experience a lot of the culture by moving around so much so when people say they're going I'm like well pick less places right and spend a little bit more time there because then you get to know what like the lifestyle is like you're not running around you really get to enjoy the Siesta MH that's a thing I really enjoyed very much when uh I my girlfriend was that her 15-year-old nephew I like we'll just take him to the bar with us it's fine Hey listen when you give 20-year-old babysitters the key to the castle you should know what you're going to be getting no at 15 and we lived in Greece for a good amount of time were young even in the summer like we were there for three months I spent my 18 when I was 18 me and my best friend spent three months together in Greece that's amazing you can get in so much trouble but it's so fun but just to absorb the culture the way that they operate how they grow free shop it was the little nuanced things that when you're visiting for a short amount of time you don't see but if you're there for a lengthy period you definitely absorb that and I love the fact that everything shuts down in the afternoon and then you'll see guys in full suits on their way home from work with an ice cream gelato and you're just like I love this it's just slow paced the days are longer but they take breaks and it's just another kind of shift like literally everything shuts down and you go home and you nap you eat a huge lunch you go into food coma and then you wake up and then sometimes the stores clo open in the afternoon and sometimes they don't yeah right you're like we didn't feel like coming back so we didn't yeah basically it's what happens Lauren says I agree I quit coffee so now when I have it it's a treat and I appreciate it more yeah yeah yep exactly and like they don't do like the fast food stuff everything's literally like you go and you sit and you have a cup of coffee yeah even the bars in like the coffee bars in Rome or like you go and you order a cup you might stand stand drinking it but you learn patience it's a conversation that is Up For Debate currently as we are voting in a short amount of time as we're talking about question number five and that's our service question yeah and people are threatening that if we vote um no on question five that um that's going to be better for us if we vote Yes on it then we're going to have a more European model of service where it's a little slower we're going to have less people it's going to be less attentive I I don't know I don't know what the right answer is for that but 75% of uh restaurant workers are saying we don't need this no I think you know I have so many friends a lot of my close friends are in the service industry and have been for many years like it's their career Y and they can't do it's got to be no for question five yeah I'm just really looking forward to all of the disgusting signs gone from the side of the road everything like both it just needs to end and the amount of junk mailers I get like I'm getting the same one I are you sending it out do you even I I got the same one four times I'm like it's so wasteful here I am like the rec the text messages oh I haven't gotten too many text messages my husband gets so many he's like another one another one I'm like like how did you even get my phone number when did I sign up for this I know that is bizarre I know so for me it's the paper mailers I find scary everybody does have to get out and vote yeah it's important absolutely um I was we were toying with doing the vote early and and I'm one of those people that's just kind of a little bit nervous about doing that I feel like unless I go that day it doesn't take like they're going to put it in a locked room somewhere and I'm you're going to be forgotten about lock key I know it's not real but this is my mental space I'm like no I have to do it that day or it doesn't count I know that's not real um good morning Lisa my bestie's cousin is in Greece his friends are like the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding that's us and and she also says I have to erase texts three times a day yeah it's a lot I'm ready for it to be over it we're almost there yeah we're almost there not that I'm trying to fast forward the seasons because this is the portion of the year that flies by in seconds we're already GE November 1 is coming this weekend it's just it's mental I'm not ready for it I am looking forward to having my daughter home I am looking forward to having a little bit of Thanksgiving and maybe to have a little bit of a slower period of time even though we're not here at lemon Ado slowing down by any means we have our Cape Cod Christmas markets which are set to take place so excited every Saturday and Sunday you should see my downstairs right now is my spare bedroom where my j1's live is Santa's Workshop there is so many nutcrackers in there that is so exciting there we Christmas is having an explosion of mental capacity so how are you doing this like what are you bringing in to make it a Christmas Market so we have um 16 volunteers at this point in time that are really working in Santa's Workshop

trucks that we were lacking all summer it was a really difficult summer with food trucks well you know what as it gains traction it should gain popularity and people will probably want to be there if they hear the stats I'm sure people will want to like it'll get better every year it was really overwhelming too for our first summer and people didn't know how to gauge it and there's so many events you know how it is around here you have to say no sometimes yeah uh so we do have a lot of our summer vendors coming back and we've got two new ones we had over 200 applications for the capecod Christmas Market this is an open air outdoor Market by the way so yeah bundle up we've got a cookie Workshop so and this is all I we really wanted this to be free for the kids to just come and really

Halloween season we're wrapping up October pretty soon is going to be daylight savings time are you prepared for that as a mom young children no like we're outside all the time we took our kids for a walk in the dark the other night like why not they need to get off the energy exactly I'm like we gotta go like I don't know what we're gonna do but no I think it's harder for me though than the kids because we try to keep them busy but like seasonal affection like or sad disorder like it's definitely real and the older I get the worse it gets yep exactly yeah you really this month was like a I was definitely on The Struggle Bus and like I just try to do things like I've pushed myself out of my comfort zone like I'll go to the gym in the afternoon with another friend oh good yeah so I go to the gym on Monday nights and I have a trainer and I do that and you know like I just try to get out with my girlfriends and you know just try to keep active the atmosphere easy yeah it's so easy to like be introverted and stay home and cozy but I don't think you can like I think you have to keep doing stuff you know yep we've talked about this many many times is the object of motion needs to stay in motion and if you allow me any time to just snuggle up and not go anywhere I won't yeah I'll be a Hermit literally and it's just not good for anybody and it's definitely not good for my mental health so check on your people that you know are affected by the season change also just dealing with kids when it's like light out and you're telling them to go to bed and they're like that that's not no I'm not going to do that it's very difficult we used to lie to the kids I'm like no see that clock it says 6:00 it's your bed like it's time for bed and they're like no it's not the other one says well we had big kids that would ruin it for us well ours are still young enough exactly whatever you tell them is whatever it is and that's the way it is well yesterday me and my husband both had it with them yesterday and he goes it was like 7:23 and I was like all right guys it's time for bed so he's like when I say it's time for bed and it's early you don't listen I was like well I'm I'm done I'm ready right I right 6:45 I was in bed last night yeah it was toast I couldn't keep my eyes open I was like in the middle of doing laundry I fell asleep with my laptop on my lap I was just like I was done I'm checked out sometimes sometimes you just have to yeah but it's not good because I was wide awake at midnight my husband's like go to DED why I snoozed at like six o'clock I already had my full my full six hours of sleep I'm good to go let's go what are we doing today he's like oh it's going to be start a project 100% I really did I really did last night I was making spreadsheets but see like you this is what happens for me I'm like exhausted exhausted exhausted all day and then it's finally time to lay down and I'm like whoa let's go it's time to party y your brain I don't know it's the weirdest thing not good uh speaking of not good we had some bad news over the weekend uh two people found dead in Yarmouth at the beach like awful 20 things that try to be resuscitated so sad I was just like oh you know this is the time of year where I don't know I feel like people take unnecessary risks or do foolish things and I just get so nervous and oh we need to find stuff for our kids and young 20s some things to be doing and being in a parking lot out late last night not good well there's nothing for kids around like younger people around here like there's bars and then there's things for little kids y but there's nothing for like older kids or like I don't know shout out to our friends over at the Boys and Girls Club of Cape Cod I'm on the board we are really working hard to bring that teen center to fruition uh the money's almost there we've got you know the plans pretty much ready to go so as soon as we can break ground and get that open please if you're thinking about making your end of the year donation definitely look at the boys and girls club and see if you make a difference in getting that teen center because I think it's so just needed they need a place for sure definitely yeah and parents need to know that their kids are going somewhere safe so they don't have you know like they don't have to worry yeah they do a good job Friday nights they'll have dances and they'll get them into to just be a part of something whether it's running around in the gym or using some of their computer stuff or playing some games or just being together with a couple of monitors that you know and also people like um Mike and they there's so many wonderful people over there that volunteer their time and just really Mentor these kids and just put them in a better space and know that they're not alone so I absolutely love everyone well sometimes they just need a place to be listened to you know like I don't think listen to them enough yep it's so true have a good Halloween to you a thanks Dan I appreciate you I got to check out some of your pods even though it's a little scary and out of my debt I get I'm at Fredy cat I started watching the Zodiac Killer thing and um it's new on Netflix it's just like a thre parter or whatever just about how he was just a regular guy that yeah regularly took kids around town and it was it was absolutely terrifying it definitely affected by sleep for a few days even the gayy guy he was like the clown was that the clown killer he would was like a regular guy he was going to church it's like I don't know what our obsession is with serial killers of the United States but we number one podcast genre is true true crime and I think that's terrifying it's like oh let's relax a little bit and listen to a true crime podcast I don't trust anybody anymore now you know cat discussed it I know I don't know what's real who to believe like and I'm such a gullible person me too I take people at their word when they tell me something and I'm like oh okay I I don't look to that my husband's like that's Stephanie you're no I'm like what that's not real he's like no like what are you talking about but they said what they told me I am like a little kid when it comes to stuff like that I really do believe people at there word it drives me nut because that's how you are you know like that's how you are and you expect everyone else to be like you are too yeah yeah it's true and Dan says oh we've got Full House commentaries too I don't do True Crime I just like my horror fake that's what horror is real really really fake don't go up there the big screams the big foolishness silly kit well lately I've been getting into Thriller like Thriller reads and they're actually really good and it they catch my attention on like a deeper level yeah like I'm um listening to we used to live here it is actually really good is it yeah so good it's not like necessarily scary but it's just like get like you just want to read more yeah it's so weird my husband has such add that he's always listening to a book on tape or watching something else while he's actively working on something else I find it the most bizarre I'm like how do you no I can't do that do all of that while you're doing something productive it's bizarre to me it's mainly in the car so I'll listen in the car and I'll listen at home like when no one's home and I have my headphones on yeah and that well like while I'm cleaning you know like doing mindless things so easy to listen yeah and that way I don't have to listen to my internal monologue freaking out I I sometimes just allow that I'll I will find myself driving in the car listening to nothing and my kids are like are are you gonna do this for a long time I'm like oh I I got a lot going On's it might look blank but there's a lot going on back there there's a lot it's very busy in here too many tabs open it's 100% so I do find myself in the silence often uh which does not work for my family that's for sure unsolved Myster my traumatized me fiction only thinks yes it was one of the parts of the musical last night was Unsolved Mysteries are really just Mysteries facts that that's absolutely mind-blowing but absolutely true was so stupid it's so true why do we say these things it just made me laugh out loud why they're all unsolved because they're Mysteries correct thank you so that show Absolutely was terrifying it was like the one of five shows that was available for us when we were kids saraphina that's why well do you remember Goosebumps yes yeah there's a friendlier version that's coming out now right I think it was on i' let my kids watch it for like 10 minutes and I was like n we're changing this yeah it's a little heavy for them at their age what are they into Batman no Spider-Man oh my God they're obsessed with Spider-Man okay we don't like Paw Patrol anymore it's for babies okay um mainly Spider-Man oh that's good I mean we're I we're in a Miss Rachel phase with um our in-house lemonade o baby Savannah who we'll be seeing in a little while I know my assistant Emily and our office manager uh brings Savannah to work with her on Mondays I love that so I get my baby fix on Mondays and she loves Miss Rachel right now Miss Rachel's actually really cute I I think she's adorable she's so cute but I feel like I could have been miss Rachel in another life I watch that and I'm like that's why kids like me about blippy right somebody likes I saw Bluey I saw blippy um what were the other costumes I saw over the weekend yeah lots of Spider-Mans yeah Spider-Man's really popular oh Transformers are popular now Super Mario Sonic I saw I saw two Sonics yeah that was new yeah because because it's old but new now it's back and they have the 20 well the 20s something with um thaty Jason no Mamoa no God if he was in it I was like wait what she's like I didn't know I got to start watching kids shows Marsden okay James Marsden he's in the movies yeah okay all right yeah I just I'm always curious what's popular now because I don't have kids in that age bracket and it's funny with girls I'm like I don't know I have boys I have no idea what's popular for girls I I know what I like yeah but that doesn't Spider-Man never seems to go out of style shout out to uh Demetrius over at steeple Street Music he's working hard to fit into
