A Rambling Trailer
Download MP3Jen Bordeaux: [00:00:00] [00:00:15] [00:00:30] Hey guys. Welcome to Ramblings of a Restless Mind. I am Jen Bordeaux, one of your co-hosts, and I'm joined by my [00:00:45] lovely co-host, Deja. ,
She can't even contain herself. I,
DeJah Debon: this is my first podcast experience. Forgive me. Yes. This is Deja Deon, and I appreciate being your [00:01:00] podcast secondary.
Jen Bordeaux: Not secondary. Equal co-partner, co-host, that's what it is. Guys, thank you so much for tuning in. Hopefully this is the, not the last time that you listened to this, but as I said, my name's Jen and we are just starting out with ramblings of a [00:01:15] restless mind and we are so excited.
This has been a thought child in my brain for several years now, and I'm so excited that it finally gets to see the light of day and that it's largely. And thanks to Deja [00:01:30] listening to lots of conversations we've had, but primarily one that we did on standup paddleboards this summer. So I'm so thankful that this is coming to fruition thanks to Dasia and her business partner and EA State Solutions. So thank you so much to you and Kara, who you guys will [00:01:45] hear from teaser very soon.
So keep listening.
DeJah Debon: Oh, absolutely. I am fantastically delighted to not only sit here and ramble with you, but also to have our first guest be my business partner, who is another one of my soul sisters. So this is going to be a. Fantastically fun time for me.
Jen Bordeaux: Yes. Yeah. Great [00:02:00] community. So this all came about because it was the year 2020 and wait, roll back, tape back.
And, I was freshly off of finding my footing after divorce. And healing and it's [00:02:15] covid d And so I'm sitting in my house with my two pups and I just had this idea of, 'cause we had a lot of thoughts at that time. We had a lot of time to sit with our thoughts and I thought about my healing journey and where I was in life and how everybody goes [00:02:30] through shit in life.
And it breaks us almost to a point of the, maybe we feel like we can't return of small things that break us. Big things that break us, but we find our community and the people that support us and help lift us back up. And we generally come back stronger. [00:02:45] And so originally this idea was gonna be super glued and boosted because you come back super glued from life and it was covid.
So let's be real. We were all visiting the liquor store 'cause it was still open. And it was an essential business, essential item. And the more I thought [00:03:00] about it, I was like, maybe with that platform I was gonna have the guest come on and talk about something that they had experienced in life that they, changed their life in some sort of way, and they came back stronger and, maybe with the cracks there, but they were stronger and put together and then have them bring [00:03:15] a drink on air, which could be sweet tea or it could be a cocktail or a beer or what have you.
And I loved the idea, but then I thought maybe I shouldn't associate healing and alcohol. My therapist would be proud of that growth. [00:03:30] Yes. So we tabled that and actually my brother and sister-in-Law started a fantastic podcast from that brain child called. Spiritually speaking, it's all about spirituality.
They do the drink on air thing. Highly plug for spiritually speaking. And it [00:03:45] sat with it for a little while and fast forward now to 2024, so almost 2025 as we're recording this trailer. And it's evolved. It's been given a lot of thought. And I, we were out this summer. On our new found love, our standup [00:04:00] paddleboards.
And I would just happen to be sharing with Daja this idea about this podcast. And she was like, dude, that's fucking awesome. By the way, this is explicit. So if little ears are listening, you might wanna stop. And I make
DeJah Debon: sailors blush.
Jen Bordeaux: Yes. And [00:04:15] so we yeah, and we just left it at that. She was like, that's a great idea.
I love that. Left it at that. And then maybe a couple of months ago, random Friday night, I get a text message from Deja that says, Hey buddy, guess who's doing a podcast? Wasn't even a thought in my mind that it was mine. And and I was like, [00:04:30] who you? And she was like, no, we are. And we're doing your podcast.
And Mia Cares firm is sponsoring it. And I was like. Oh my God. Like literally happy tears like that. I'm an emotional person these days, so, so it was great. So that's where all of this came from, and we've gone through different things in our lives [00:04:45] still, and there are different times for whatever reason, for me, a lot this year has been professional things in my mind that have been keeping me up at night or that make my mind completely restless.
And I try to journal, but dammit, things still stir around in there and keep me from sleeping. [00:05:00] So whether it's daydreaming in the middle of work, not being able to sleep, sitting there s smoking a j, thinking about things like, whatever it may be, we, our thoughts are restless and our mind goes, whether it's the most random, simple thing or very deep philosophical, life changing [00:05:15] thing.
I'm really happy to be on this journey with you, buddy. If I'll stop talking now so you can say something cool.
DeJah Debon: That's where we are. No I'm super, super excited to be able to do this with you, not only because I'm a podcast [00:05:30] junkie, that's what I listen to all day while I work, right? But also because it is fun just to sit with your friend and literally just ramble about the things that roll around in your head and have a great laugh, which always happens.
So I'm here for the journey.
Jen Bordeaux: Yeah, absolutely. This is gonna be [00:05:45] fantastic. We're so excited for you guys to ramble along with us. Listen along with us. We're gonna be welcoming your thoughts, your ideas, the things that keep you up at night. Again, the most random, most simple, bizarre things that you think about.
Please, we're gonna have a platform you can. [00:06:00] Call in, leave a voicemail. You can send us an email, a Restless Mind podcast@gmail.com. We'll talk about your questions on air. It's gonna be fantastic, and we're gonna be answering some really random questions as well, just as they pop up. There may not be any rhyme or reason to some [00:06:15] episodes.
So if you really like control and, linear conversations, this might not be the best platform for you.
DeJah Debon: Personal growth is about adapting to change.
Jen Bordeaux: Yes. Expand your horizons. But so we're gonna, we're gonna start off with a few questions [00:06:30] here that we're gonna be asking our guests as they join us.
And so we, the Deja and I thought that we would answer these as well real quick as we kick this off. So Deja, I'm gonna ask you first, is a hot dog a sandwich?
DeJah Debon: Absolutely not. Please explain. I come [00:06:45] from the land of bratwurst. You do not consider a brought a hotdog in the same classification and or categorization of a sandwich.
Jen Bordeaux: So is a brat and a is a brat a sandwich? Negative. Okay. Okay. Negative. Okay. [00:07:00] None of the stuff, sausage kind of meat is a sandwich. No. No. Okay.
DeJah Debon: So no skinned meats inside of bread.
Jen Bordeaux: It's considered a sandwich in my culture. Just so I'm a little [00:07:15] torn and that's my personality, right? But I'm inclined to say yes, that a hot dog is a sandwich.
It's a piece of meat between two slabs of bread. I. Unless you don't eat it with a bun, like I, I don't eat it with a bun, but I like sacrilege. I like my hot dog burnt. It better be [00:07:30] charred and North Carolina's turned me into the red hot dog kind of person. Girl. Yeah, listen
DeJah Debon: Now if it's cooked over an open campfire.
It can be charred and burned.
Jen Bordeaux: Okay.
DeJah Debon: On a grill, I expect [00:07:45] perfection. Yeah,
Jen Bordeaux: fair enough. Fair enough. And this question honestly, is I work in a law firm currently and this question gets asked randomly of our team and it turns to a quite the debate. So like this, we live on opposite camps, so we're gonna be, we're gonna be [00:08:00] keeping tabs of what our guests say to this.
Yes. So stay tuned and think about it. It's a piece of meat between. Bread, but we often don't think of it as a sandwich. If you say, Hey, will you make me a sandwich or I'm gonna go make a sandwich, is a
DeJah Debon: skinned sausage inside of a [00:08:15] bun. That is cut. It is different.
Jen Bordeaux: Fair enough. So I can't wait to see what our guests have to say about that.
Okay. You know what Joe, I'm gonna throw it over to you. So Joe, you might hear, oh, I was thinking of myself. I've never eaten five sandwiches, [00:08:30] but you have happy eaten five hot dogs. Hey, absolutely. So they can't be the same. So that voice is Joe, you will definitely hear a hit from time to time. He is. The studio producer here and he's fantastic, Joe, so thank you so much.
Okay, next quick question. What is [00:08:45] the last song that got stuck in your head? Oh man. Bringing on the holiday season. Felice, Navida, Felice, Navida. Just And repeat no other words. Just Felice,
Navi, Navida. Just not the rest of it. Because [00:09:00] all of us Just 'cause as you're walking through the
DeJah Debon: store and you just keep, it's just that part over and over as you pass the doors.
Jen Bordeaux: Yeah. And we mumble our way if you're, if you don't speak Spanish. Yes. We mumble our way, of course, for the rest of it, but still feel just as festive. Love that. And we [00:09:15] are today as we're recording. It's November 25th, so we are just a few, yes. Two and a half days or so away from Thanksgiving.
So we are heading squarely into the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. It does is American
DeJah Debon: culture. Our holidays start 17 months [00:09:30] before the actual date.
Jen Bordeaux: Yeah. You must endure that music prior. Yes. Oh, Joe, do you have your Christmas decorations up yet?
Joe Woolworth: No, but. Very specifically because my college daughter hasn't returned home yet, and she would be very mad if we did.
Oh. [00:09:45] But I was ready to put those things up. Like I was ready to skip Halloween this year. I'm like, let's just do Christmas.
Jen Bordeaux: Oh, you're one of those. I'm like, you're in the store in Labor Day and you start to see Christmas, and I'm like, what is happening?
DeJah Debon: The HOA board president wants to murder [00:10:00] him.
Jen Bordeaux: I would've to say the la the last song that got stuck in my head. So I, I get very focused on certain artists. And Kelsey Ballerini for those that have or have not heard of her, but she released an album at the end of October called Patterns. And the first track on the album is [00:10:15] called Patterns.
And it's this coming of age kind of album and. Whatever that means, coving them. Age of what? And it's just talking about like in your life and your thoughts and you think like you've just got patterns in life. And we blame 'em on these different things, whether it's something, the stars and your Zodiac and [00:10:30] everything else, or just the way your mind works.
Or maybe you just, this is what you like and it's your pattern. And that song has been playing nonstop in my head. For sure. Wait, so you're not gonna sing it like me? No. It's not quite as singable as felice navi dot, but definitely def definitely [00:10:45] recommend checking out patterns by Kelsey Ballerini.
Shout out it. Love it. Love a suggestion. Yeah. Joe, what about you? I'm gonna put you on the spot.
Joe Woolworth: All right. Fall. Leaves are falling. Willie Nelson puts out an album every six minutes and his newest one is Last Leaf on the Tree and it's a cover album and he [00:11:00] is doing that, the Last Leaf Old Tree. I love it.
It's a real bummer of a song.
DeJah Debon: No. We had an existential moment. We were just in Austin at the music festival and got to see Willie.
Joe Woolworth: Nice. Yes.
Jen Bordeaux: It was, again, this was rambling of a restless mind, so we're all over the place. Yep. Yes. We [00:11:15] were ACL fest. My birthday weekend. It was fantastic. And the Friday night, Chris Stapleton was the headliner and one of the headliners.
And he surprised everybody in the first two songs of his set. He brought Willie Nelson Allen, and I was like. I feel like we could probably die now. Yes. And [00:11:30] it would be Okay. Check that off the book and list. Thank you very much. Yeah. Yeah. That was pretty great. I
Joe Woolworth: saw him when he was in town, but he had 102 degree fever and he didn't finish the show and he was singing everything like three beats ahead of the band.
Just get me outta here.
Jen Bordeaux: Oh. The fact that he had [00:11:45] 102 or three degree fever in his eighties and didn't stop him from alive. He's
Joe Woolworth: whatever, I'll do it. Anyways, guitar again is
Jen Bordeaux: in his eighties nineties, like 92. We looked, oh my gosh. Yeah. Yes, he is The lost avenger. Like
Joe Woolworth: it's something to be said about the long term effects of marijuana.[00:12:00]
DeJah Debon: I was literally just going to attribute it to that
Jen Bordeaux: 100%. Yes. [00:12:15] [00:12:30] [00:12:45] Okay.
TBD on if a hotdog is a sandwich, we talked about songs. So last question to pose [00:13:00] to both of you this evening is what's the last thing that made you go Hmm, thanks. That made you go
DeJah Debon: mm-Hmm mm-Hmm. so that would've been in yoga this morning when these [00:13:15] two fellow yogis walk past the giant sign that says this room is silent. And then proceed to have a long and loud conversation as the rest of us, of course are trying to get into our mindset because yoga is very [00:13:30] mental. And I just laid there trying not to laugh out loud because it's one of those things like. What do we do here?
So I did, I just laid there and laughed and yeah. Yeah. You just take it for what it is. 'cause you can't control other people. No, I'm I don't feel that I wanna get into a pre yogi fist fight. [00:13:45]
Jen Bordeaux: It seems counterintuitive to the correct, to the practice of yoga. Therefore, I
DeJah Debon: just
Jen Bordeaux: laid there
DeJah Debon: and
Jen Bordeaux: giggle
DeJah Debon: to myself.
Jen Bordeaux: Yeah. Yeah. I'm just putting you on the spot. Joe, do you have a thing that made you go recently? Yeah. Okay.
Joe Woolworth: So it was yesterday. It was two days ago. We were, my wife and I were watching Netflix. We watched this show called Hot [00:14:00] Frosty.
Jen Bordeaux: Oh, I wanna watch it. Haven't watched it. Just watched it yesterday.
Yeah. No spoilers. It sucks. Yes, no spoilers.
Joe Woolworth: And then the other one was Mary Gentleman, and it just made me think. Is somebody checking in on the ladies? Are women okay?
Jen Bordeaux: No. No, we're not. [00:14:15]
Joe Woolworth: We're not. These movies are like one's about it's like a regular Hallmark movie, but instead of saving the town, by pulling yourself up by your bootstraps, it's like we should get some male strippers.
And then the other one is like this hot snowman gets sculpted, she puts a scarf on him and he comes to [00:14:30] life naked and he's streaking through town. And yes. And the guy is not a good actor. Oh, no. Multiple times throughout the movie, I'm like, wow.
DeJah Debon: But my question to you, Joe, is did you watch it high?
He is I'm not gonna answer that question. I could [00:14:45] if I couldn't remember. Is that 'cause if you did like me, it was more enjoyable. I'm just saying. Yeah,
Joe Woolworth: I bet it would've been fantastic. That's what I did wrong. Yes. Yeah,
DeJah Debon: because the act, the acting was so bad. It was absolutely comical. I was sitting there gonna keep going.
Just having that little bit, oh yeah. I [00:15:00] sat there who was this
Joe Woolworth: movie for? I couldn't figure it out. Who is? This for?
DeJah Debon: It is. It was so sad. I'm sorry, I'm just gonna go on for a second. No, you're fine. Do it please. Because it really does. All those movies paint that women are naive and fucking desperate because this man was just [00:15:15] snow minutes ago, and now she's inviting him to live in her house.
40
Joe Woolworth: minutes in, he's in her living room.
DeJah Debon: Oh
Joe Woolworth: what? Buck Naked? And she's no, you gotta put on some clothes. And he takes off his clothes. She's we're not doing that. It's like you invited him over.
DeJah Debon: This is like an [00:15:30] essay announcement from Hallmark. I, no, just, no. Wait.
Jen Bordeaux: So
DeJah Debon: is it a Hallmark
Jen Bordeaux: movie?
No, it's Netflix because it's on Netflix. Netflix. But it's of the same theme. It might have genre like, okay, but Hallmark movies. 'cause here's the thing. My bonus dad, which deja, you know? Yep. [00:15:45] Joe, you should know. 'cause he is a great guy.
Joe Woolworth: I don't know.
Jen Bordeaux: You don't know. But he Oh, you mean I should
Joe Woolworth: get to know him?
Not that I should know him. No. Yeah,
Jen Bordeaux: he loves Hallmark movies. Unashamedly. Yep. Loves Hallmark movies. I don't
Joe Woolworth: mind
Jen Bordeaux: him. And. There is a separate section [00:16:00] on Netflix for just Hallmark movies. So all of the Hallmark movies, all our good ones.
DeJah Debon: I'm just saying the ones with terrible actors and horrible writing that of 'em that make women look so pathetic, unintelligent and pathetic.
Just not it's, it's just very, I guarantee you
Joe Woolworth: those two [00:16:15] movies that we're talking about, if we really looked into it, are made and written by men. Of course.
Jen Bordeaux: Oh, a hundred
DeJah Debon: percent. I don't even need to look.
Jen Bordeaux: Yeah. I'm just I'm a big one Tree heel fan, so I am looking forward to married gentleman with Chad, Michael Murray, so that I can enjoy that.[00:16:30]
DeJah Debon: I have not yet watched that.
Jen Bordeaux: Yeah I'm gonna save that one for it's
Joe Woolworth: based off the him.
Jen Bordeaux: Okay. Yeah. I'm here for it. Listen, he's still keeping in shape. Hey. They keep trying to feed it to me since
DeJah Debon: I just watch Hot for Rusty. Yeah.
Joe Woolworth: I protested for a long time watching that, and then I [00:16:45] realized, oh, it's not the one about the strippers.
And then we got 20 minutes and I'm the same thing. It's
Jen Bordeaux: a stripper. Netflix, just me throwing strippers at us, left and red. I was here for Magic Mike, so I can't really,
Joe Woolworth: but I did think to myself halfway through, I was like, I've seen [00:17:00] this movie a bunch of times where the, it's the opposite.
Like the sex roles are reversed and it's good that it's flipped a little bit. Oh, there's so many. Oh no, I appreciate it. There's so many dumb movies like that are the other way, of course. And they actually almost show his
DeJah Debon: whole body, whereas a woman, they would just. Show her body.
Joe Woolworth: Yeah. Basically no [00:17:15] questions asked. It basically it was like mannequin. With the sex is reversed. Ah, a hundred percent. Oh, for hot
Jen Bordeaux: Frosty. Yeah. With the snow. Okay. A hundred. I can see that. I can
DeJah Debon: see that. But see, but it was two of my two actors that I really enjoy from nine. Nine Brooklyn.
Nine. Nine [00:17:30] Uhhuh. Andy Sandberg. Yes. Yes. But his partner.
Joe Woolworth: Oh yeah. Yeah. And
DeJah Debon: then
Joe Woolworth: this Doyle on the show, his name is Doyle on the show.
DeJah Debon: Yes. And then his
Joe Woolworth: Darryl from the office was Really? Yeah. I said
DeJah Debon: Darryl from the office, but his brother from another mother.
Joe Woolworth: They were the bumbling [00:17:45] caps.
DeJah Debon: Yes.
But I'm I was like, I was looking forward to it and I enjoyed their little bits, but he should check it out for the naked mad parts.
Jen Bordeaux: Yes. Yes. I will do that. Because there's a lack of those in my life these days. So why? Hi. I'm gonna be really honest, guys. I [00:18:00] was leaving the office to come here tonight and I was walking across the parking deck and there was something that made me go and I cannot remember it for the life of me.
So I would say that the most recent thing that has made me go hmm, is. Why does our short term memory suck so bad?
DeJah Debon: I'll just [00:18:15] shimmy my shoulders and go,
Jen Bordeaux: oh man. All right guys, we're gonna wrap it up there, but thank you so much for listening to the first episode. Listen, grow as we go with us. We'll see how this evolves. But thank you for tuning into this trailer. [00:18:30] We hope you tune in and you play a part in this. You ramble along with us. Keep your minds restless 'cause you don't have a choice if you're an adult.
And we look forward to hearing all of your thoughts and ideas and making us think and making us go as well as our guest. [00:18:45] Anything to add as we close out? Tasia, I am super
DeJah Debon: stoked to just have a laugh with everybody. Everybody. We just all need to laugh together. We all just need to just, yeah, just talk.
Have a laugh and spread some joy.
Jen Bordeaux: Yeah, I was gonna say it as one of my wonderful coworkers, fizzy [00:19:00] little says. If you're gonna cry about it later, you might as well laugh about it now. Amen, sister. So with that, let's get ready to ramble, guys.
