Tamara And Lynde: Hey besties, welcome back to Business with my Bestie. I'm Lynde I'm Tamara. And after last week's episode, well first of all, you and your husband just like skipped over all Love is Blind and watched the reunion. I know, we had just, I know, you told me all about Love is Blind. I got the gist of what it was supposed to be like. And then all of a sudden I turn the TV on and there's this ginormous ad about the reunion for Loves Blind. So I just was like, yeah, let's do that. Let's just see what happened after, afterwards. it was exciting. The reunion was exciting. Always lots of drama. I was like, oh my gosh, these people hate these people. And I don't even know any of them. But I'm like cluing in here to, yeah, all the relationships and. Right, and so you watched The Reunion even before I watched I know, I had to ask you, was like, have you seen The Reunion? Because it's good. It's really good. good, we finally got around to watching it. Yeah. Lots of drama. Mm-hmm, I know, and I love that you were talking about that girl who was paired up with that douchebag guy. That nobody likes. Like literally nobody See, I wasn't the only one. Like everybody hates Like the girls and the guys. Yeah. Nobody. Yeah. And then she found such a sweetheart right after that good for her. Yes. I was so excited for her. That was good. That was exciting. Yes. So only one couple. Well, one couple was married, but then another couple still together. She found a guy and another guy is like engaged and has a baby on the way. Yes, I know a lot. There's so much happening. Yeah. Very eventful. No, it was good. I was excited to be able to at least get the last ending of Love is Blind. what else did we talk about? Well, The Bachelorette was supposed to start and Dang, that's intense. Yeah. Which like kind of crazy to me that they cancelled it. I mean, they knew her. ⁓ They knew who she was. Yeah, they knew what they were getting themselves into. They should have. And the crazy part about this is this video that got leaked. not new. All this happened. Like if you watch the first season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, it like that fight. Like that video never got leaked. So you didn't know that like her kid was there when all this happened. But she got charged. Like there's video from the police like arrested her. ⁓ She got charged like so they knew of this had happened. ⁓ Yeah, and the fact that they had no I don't think it's okay No, I don't agree with it, but you knew all of this before you even decided to make her the bachelorette So I feel like you were rolling the dice anyways, and then all of a sudden now you're gonna spend all this money Put all these people through this like I can't imagine how pissed the men are right like they gave up all their time and Energy and whatever to go through this huge process for like nothing to happen. Right. Like that's 15 minutes of it gets cut before. Like so it'll be interesting to see how it all plays out. Well, and then it almost makes you wonder like were they planning that ahead of everything anyway? Were they going to be OK with canceling it? I mean, I can't imagine. Do you know how much money like they have to be just. Oh, yeah. just got flushing down the trade. Yeah, for sure. But. Yeah, like you said, they knew who she was, so knew she was a wild card. Yeah. And then an old video gets leaked. Right. An old video. Yeah. Like this wasn't a new issue that she had. No, like everybody knew this whole incident had happened. Like they just didn't know. ⁓ did. The problem was, that I think that even though she got charged and stuff, a lot of the details to the fight were not ever publicly available because like when a child is involved. Like, that's not public knowledge, nobody knew about that, whatever. And now that this video has surfaced that shows that that happened. It's a whole new deal. It's a whole new problem. But like, also, again, was I shocked when I saw the video? No. I was like, oh, I kind of thought this was what happened. Yeah, exactly. Like, from what you had gained in the actual... Series before and like kind of understood yeah, yeah, threw a fight. She threw a chair something happened. She got arrested She's dealt with it though. Yeah, she got charged like she like she got charged She was on probation like all this stuff happened So I don't know the whole thing just seems weird. It does seem weird unless there's more to the story I mean that that was just like the of the iceberg and They're like, yeah, we gotta shut this down before this gets out of hand. I mean, I think that they should have been more cautious when starting the whole process. Like, you do what you're doing. do you in, do think she fell in love with that? Like, what I've I mean, again, these are like spoilers, whatever, ⁓ is that did get engaged and they broke it off before like, It was even gonna air like cuz all this has already happened like her whole season was already recorded before they were even gonna air it So like word on the street is that yeah that her this guy have already broken up which again. Are you shocked? Yeah, probably no no still this guy went through a whole season did all this stuff proposed to this lady And now what does he get like Like nobody even knows his name or who it was. Doug. Oh, yes you do. Yes you do know. Okay. Doug something. I don't know. I've seen it like in the reports. So. It is just wild though. Yeah. the way they went about it and stuff. It's kind of sucks for everybody involved. Right. And I actually, I have been watching the new season of The Secret Life of Mormon Wives, which all that happens again. In the past, it's all like before she even went to film The Bachelor, right? knows how long ago all that happened. But haven't even finished that yet. And apparently they were filming season five, like because they like do season four and then they go straight into season five. But apparently production that has all came to a halt. And that is like, put to close to. So canceled, canceled. Because apparently, like, I mean, yeah, the Taylor drama is like a lot, there's a lot of people from the cast that have like, stuff going on. Jesse also getting divorced. which they probably should have got divorced about three seasons ago. I also saw that he like has a restraining order now against her. Yeah, I don't know. Wow. a lot too too much trouble. Is it necessary? No, think so. How about your March Madness bracket? How are we doing there? My bracket's not great. No? No. And you just, you have one bracket? Well, I have two. Okay. But I have the same winner in both. Yeah. No, everything was the same. I do have Duke winning the whole thing. They're still in it. Okay. But they have a very tough, I think that out of the number one seeds, think Duke has the hardest road to the championship. Okay. Personally, I don't know. Anyways, we're in a group. Yes, there's 46 brackets in our group. I'm in 30 seconds. There's how many in our group? 46. 46. Well, I lost big time this last little round, so I don't even know. Where am I at? I can't find your bracket. Where are you? Oh, you're lower than me. You're 41. Yeah, I like I dropped down way far. But I will say there was a couple of people that in Florida winning the whole thing. They were number one seed. They lost out. they're done. Dang. that was an upset that happened. My bracket had Duke and Gonzaga in the championship and my mother-in-law Gonzaga winning the whole thing and they are also out. We also had few people that had what the ⁓ That's Florida. Yeah. ⁓ Florida Gators. and that's no longer. Yeah, they're done for. Where am I at here? Yeah. So there was some crazy upsets in the last room. Especially. Yeah. Well, Florida was huge because Iowa was the number nine seed and beat a number one. So that's a huge one. And then, Texas. ⁓ winning was big. There's just like a lot going on. So for my next round, I still I have two teams that are going to be like that I picked a win that are already out like because I have Bandy winning, was kind of a bold move. They did it for me and Gonzaga, which yeah, that thing. Yeah, Gonzaga the game, though. That's rough. Yes. Yes. Because I not see that. Yeah. Texas. Yeah. That was crazy. So Duke is playing St. John's. I actually picked St. John's to win. They were five over a four. But the coach for St. John's coach for I think UConn for like a long time, he's a super serious guy. Like they won on a buzzer beater. Like they were tied and this guy drove in, made the shot and they won. And he didn't even flinch. Like guy was stone cold serious. Not excited nothing no emotion he means business So do better show up to play is all I have to say about that one Yeah, that's gonna be a good game to watch and that's Friday 5 o'clock. Yep, so I I will that in Arizona in last place in our entire thing is My husband's bracket And my son's bracket. at least I'm doing better than that. That's funny. Well, I, because again, this is my first time ever putting a bracket together, on this app, threw a bracket together, submitted it, and then I realized it was not in the group. Yeah, I got on it and was like, ⁓ bracket, bracket not filled. I was like, I know you said you filled out a bracket, but. ⁓ I was like, I'm done, I submitted it and you're like, well, maybe in the wrong spot because it's not where it should be. And that bracket is still doing quite well. Oh, actually. I obviously traded a few teams after I got into the group. Right. And I should not have done that. Shouldn't have done that. Because this bracket that's not in our group is doing very well. Still. Well. I know. Yeah, it was a tough couple rounds. There's a lot of really good games. There was a lot of upsets. It was wild and crazy, which is what we love about March Madness. It's awesome. Yeah. Yeah, there have been some really good games that I have enjoyed watching them and the brackets do make it a heck of a lot. Yeah, more interesting. Yes, exactly. But I am not the person that like I usually like a game this on the TV and I'm like Who did I pick to win this one? And I have to look because I don't even remember who I Well because there's a lot. There's so much. It's huge. Especially in those first couple of rounds that you have of the teams. ⁓ like, wait, what did I do for the South? ⁓ did I Well, and I even told Tucker when I saw Texas won and that they were playing against whoever, Gonzaga. I was like, I feel like I usually wouldn't pick the Texas Longhorns. I'm confused why I didn't pick them to do anything. And Tucker informed me that they actually had a play in game the week the racquets came out. So like, it was listed as Texas or the other team, who I don't even know who that was. So I didn't even realize Texas was in the tournament. Because I didn't go back and check my racket after I did it. I just like filled it out and didn't know it was them. Just went for it. Yeah. Because we have family in Texas who are all Longhorns fans, so usually I kinda, will like lean towards stuff like that. Yeah, I get it. Yeah. I didn't know. Ryland also again took Kentucky than they should have been and they are done. They are done. They lost by like almost 24. Like they didn't just kinda lose, they got their butts kicked. Sorry Kentucky. Sorry, sorry, Tucky. Sorry, Tucky. But then Tennessee wasn't upset because they won over Virginia. That was a six over a three. Who else was upset? thought there was some more. Obviously, the Texas over Godzega. I feel like we're like sports announcers right now. Right? It's like ESPN, like sports center. Except for we are not nearly as knowledgeable. sometimes like when I am watching the games the commentators some of the stuff that they say I'm like are these talking about? And I like get my own commentary during the game and my husband often laughs at me. He doesn't agree with your commentary? No he thinks my commentary is. ⁓ very entertaining. He's like, I think you should be a sports commentator. I was like, me too. Me too. You're right. should be. None of my people don't listen to me. Well, like when Duke was struggling in the first round, they're playing this team and they made no substitutions. OK, their starters came into that game and played and Duke's like struggling and then they like come down. It's like the second half and they keep shooting threes. And I'm like, OK, well. Obviously this team does not trust their bench one iota because he has not put any of them in So why not take it to the hoop and try to get these guys in foul trouble? Because then what are they gonna do like they're gonna have to put no they didn't listen to me kept shooting three-pointers They made one substitution with 10 seconds left in the game. Otherwise, they're five starters played that entire game. Dang What's that all about? I mean, I'd feel like dog shit if I was one of the bench players. Yeah, seriously. Like, ee. Which again, they were like a 16 seed. No, they lost. But they. Oh, Duke. Yeah. But the the team they're playing against. Oh, OK. I see. The team that they played in the first round. But it was a way closer game than what it should have been. So I'm saying about that. Dang. So we'll see how this next round goes. Tucker and I were also looking because year, I mean, the first two rounds are in like eight different locations, you know? But of those locations next year is Spokane, Washington. We could and out there. Yeah, that's easy to get to that. Yeah. And I have cousin that lives right by Spokane, like 30 minutes from downtown Spokane. Nice. I also have family in Spokane. I have C. Dang. next year we'll be podcasting from March Madness. That will be so unofficial. We'll be like real sports center commentators. like, these girls have till like 2-3 times. It's fun. And March Madness is starting to window down a little bit, but it's been like a lot. We're on. ⁓ Week four. Yep. We're getting through March Madness, personal, personal March Madness. Yeah. And we've had a lot of basketball. A lot of basketball. Three weekends of tournaments. Yeah. So far. Yeah. This is weekend number four. This time we have volleyball and basketball. I thought it was going be crazy enough because all day Saturday is volleyball, all day Sunday, basketball. Across the state. Yeah. two separate directions. And then, because that wasn't fun enough, they're like, we're gonna have a volleyball scrimmage Friday night also. Yeah, before the actual tournament. Right. And both of us have kids that have birthdays this weekend. My son's birthday is during the scrimmage, so yeah. And my daughter's birthday is Sunday when her brother's supposed to be playing basketball. Like, she doesn't have anything going on, but she's gonna have to stay in a jam. I know, that's too bad. watch basketball. Sorry. Sorry you were born a birch. No, it'll be special though. I mean, we always do a good job of making them feel so loved and making them feel needed and important. So since your son's birthday is Friday and he's like the oldest of your kids, no school Friday, does he feel like he needs to take birthday treats at some point? Have you guys talked about it? I he doesn't. He hasn't mentioned it once. You know, I mean, I was going to bring it up to him. Like, what do you want to take something? Right. What do you You think your class would enjoy it? Yeah. I mean, he really wasn't even into, you know, the Valentine's Day. Like, think they just get to like a certain age where they're just like, yeah, we don't do that anymore. Right. I mean, probably send something in, but nothing crazy like. Right. Shark cupcakes or dino cupcakes. Dirt cups. Dirt cups. kids love dirt cups. Ricky, I mean her birthday is Sunday so she decided she wants to do treats Monday. Okay. But we decided that since we're gonna be in Billy's Saturday, we're gonna pick up some Krispy Kreme donuts to take it to school. Because who doesn't love a donut? Especially Krispy Kreme. Yeah. And kids around here don't get Krispy Kremes. Yeah. That's going to be awesome. I was like, that my life easy. Yeah. Because like, when was I going to make birthday treats? Yeah. Sunday when I would bake her a basketball. No. Like what, in the slow cooker in the back of the car? No. No. That's not happening. However, I have seen they make a slow cooker that will like hook into your Chargeport I've seen this and people are like busting out meals. I am this close to getting one because I don't think it's a bad idea not only Do we travel for sports on the weekends? But like even practices. Yeah week I'm like we don't have real meals at our house or my kids get so used to going to the grocery store and you know sandwiches or yeah things like that I mean, that slow cooker idea seems like a real treat, honestly. So I completely agree. I'm a little I conflicted this year because we have soccer coming up and I last year, my girls played opposite nights. Yes. One day, Wednesday, and then Tuesday, Thursday, which was terrible because we were at the soccer field every single day. Yeah. This year, they actually are on the same night. But now they're at the same night at the same time. which is a bummer because I can only watch one. I'm very excited that I only have to like prep meals on those nights rather than because like when their soccer games are from 530 to 630. Yeah. Like you can't get home at 630 and try to make a dinner. Yeah. I mean you can but it's like a fiasco. It's like a Haynes dinner then after that eating at 830 at night. Yeah. That's how the freezes on Rosebud Creek rule. Yeah. Nine o'clock, it's like early to have dinner at their house. joke, like there's often times where we're like just sitting down because they're like, I'm starving. I'm like, yeah, I know, everybody is. And they're like, what time is it? Well, it's actually bedtime. Yeah. Like you actually need to eat this and then go straight to bed because it's 8.30. I don't even know what happened the other night and Reggie got to go to dinner and she was like, can I watch a show? I was like, you were supposed to be in bed 15 minutes ago. was like, no. Yeah. Sorry, you gotta go to bed. getting late anyway so cooker bills will be coming up do have any like go-to slow cooker I mean by tried and true would be chicken tacos in the slow cooker chicken breasts taco seasoning salsa cook it shred it easy awesome that's like yeah you can't go wrong with that honestly yeah I mean are definitely like the ⁓ roast ⁓ enough like we love that I thank God for St. Patrick's Day because my husband and I love corned beef. And we did that and that, I mean, we could do one of those a month, honestly. The problem is like we also, like we love roasts, but we feel like we are supposed to eat them more in the winter than like the summer. Yeah, it is definitely. You know what I mean? Like it's like that warm hearty comfort meal. But I even feel like just my slow cooker in general. is not supposed to be out in the summertime. But, is So, gotta do with what you can. Anyways, so we're gonna survive that. Also, we're gonna work on getting rid of whatever we have going on. really proud of us because you were worried about coughing through this whole thing, I was worried about sneezing. But we made it! We made it. Ish. We made it! been in a gym with a bunch of children and they share super spreaders a bunch of little tiny super spreaders I don't have time to be sick. I get a recommendation the other day. for a topic. let's hear our wardrobes. because It's like going from work to work wardrobe and they understand that On a day to day basis, am actually out feeding cows. I just a video about having to lift a cow. Yes. ⁓ And calving heifers right now. And that is ⁓ a different wardrobe. ⁓ Right. then went to work at the hospital in my scrubs. Yeah. So, yeah, my wardrobe in my closet, my husband's like. You were creeping onto my side and you need to get your clothes out of here. That was serious, And was like, okay, but I've got my hospital clothes, I've got my work clothes, I've got my ranch clothes. Yes. ⁓ got my coaching clothes, I got a coach. ⁓ Basketball, can't be rolling into a gym in I mean, I have done that. Yeah. It happens. If you have to. If you have to, you have to, but. Yeah, so like we should do episode on our different wardrobes that we are wearing throughout week. Okay. I mean was one of my at-home mom days. Mondays are mom and rich days. teaser sweats. Love it. Comfy, cute sweats, ⁓ sweats. Also, how you about hoodies? Like you just like a regular super comfy ⁓ easy hoodie or do you like to jazz it up like some of them have super cute snaps on them or I do like to have like a little something with it yeah I kind of like a little something I'm gonna be completely honest I used to always be a hoodie weather where whoa ⁓ now I'm kind of into the crew neck sweatshirts yes you know I actually have been into like a three-quarter zip or like a half zip. Yep. because they always have cute collars. Right. I love the cute collars. Yeah, I have a lot of those actually on a day to day basis. I probably wear those the most. I bought a couple like oversized plate colored crew deck sweatshirts, but like to wear those with leggings or joggers. Yeah, I feel like it's just like a very good like Sports Bob. Yeah go to I also for football season found oversized crewneck Sweaters, but then I was on on the gram cut and see yeah and There was this lady who had this like Cropped one right and I was like, well, how do you where do you buy these cropped sweaters? No, she made it and so I just laid out my little Oversized crew neck chopped the bottom off. It was very cute and I actually chopped the sleeves off so it you know it came together at your yeah wrist, but I chopped it off to be like a three-quarter and it was just like Super cozy right comfy. had you know the little store down the road Style Alley is now Peony and Bee. Yes. She was like you should make some of these for me and I'll sell them. In my store.

Yeah But I think if you have like, yeah, like an outfit like that, you can really spice things up with shoes. you can wear like, know, shoes to spice up an outfit. Shoes are always jewelry, accessories, you know. What's go-to accessory? Do you have a go-to? Like you will always be wearing earrings. Is it, are you necklace over bracelet or bracelet over necklace? Or are you like, have to both? necklace over bracelet. Me too. I today, but usually I have my watch on always and then actually started wearing these but they're like hair ties. my god. Have you seen the ones that have yeah the golf? Yes. Yes. I told Suzanne about it too because I know they were super I actually got these ones before we went to Mexico because I was like, ⁓ these are cute. Yeah, but then they're also hair tie. I bought these locally at the Yellowstone pharmacy. Love it. She sells them. Which is great. And honestly, if I kinda want to spice up my look, I like big fancy rings too. for like something fun and different. not big on bracelets much. ⁓ have big wrists. have dainty, weak, sauce wrists. so when I put on a bracelet, I'm like, no, that's not. I don't like it. So, necklace. Right. Earrings. Yeah. Like, I always wear like, diamonds in my second hole, but I always leave my first hole open to wear, like, more fun. Dangly. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I like there's a lot of hair accessories out with, like, all the claw clips and stuff that are in style. ⁓ God. I claw clip everything. I have a claw clip on every single purse that I have. Which, do you switch out your purses? ⁓ Yeah. Do Well. because some days I just need like a little bag with my essentials. But then when we're going to the gym all day, I like this giant tote bag to carry all of everybody else's crap. my stuff. And all of the big event centers make you have clear bags. So now you got to have the clear bags, but it's got to be cute. Yeah. Yeah. All of bags. ⁓ Every single of my bags has a clock clip on it. Ready to go. You just never know what you're gonna need one.
