I am in hospice care right now, and I am afraid to die. I just hope I will pass in my sleep, and not be in pain anymore. Never take your health for granted ❤
Debra, I just now prayed for you and asked God for his peace that passes all understanding to flow through you and bring you comfort. I encourage you to get your bible out and start reading psalms and also the book of John
Debra, sending lots of love and prayers your way. I am battling terminal cancer, so I can imagine what you are going through. Such a tough thing to have to face. Praying for relief from pain and peace for you. You are in my thoughts.
@@lisatowan4536 Thanks so much ❤️

Sending prayers and air hugs 🙏🏻
My biggest fear is not having enough time for the remainder of my life to do the stuff i missed out on for 30 years. Getting out of an abusive marriage after so long. Having the courage to not be afraid anymore and just live. I went to breakfast yesterday by myself and it was a HUGE hurdle for me to overcome my self doubt and just finally enjoy myself like i did when i was 18. Trying to channel my inner teenager again before everything went to absolute shit 😢
Tim, you are awesome for grabbing those mini totes for Katie. That was so sweet.
The first thing that came to mind since all of my family has passed away. I'm fearful who would care for & how my pets would live their best lives (if I passed.) I've set up my living trust for their care, (they are my world.) On a positive note I've lived a simple life & have a plan to leave behind as my legacy. It is for rescue animals and believe it or not, Southern California needs more of them.
This fear hits home for me so much. I feel exactly as you do. In fact I told Benson when Tim and I die he must take any of the animals we have and care for them as his own. Animals are my world.
best channel for binge watching! Thank you for another 21 mins of pure joy
The way bensons head snapped up when he heard gummies lol
Me too. That's why I'm a horrible snow skier. Can't handle the chair lift. I enjoy you guys so much each week. Thank you Katie and Tim......
Love your taste tests & honesty always. Benson is such a sweet, well mannered little guy & amuses himself well during the taste tests. He's a honey
At my first job, my coworker Pat ended up as almost my work big brother and Tim reminds me so much of him. Neither of us work there anymore but these videos always touch my heart in such a weird way. Also I love TJs so I appreciate these for that too.
The pistachios are calling my name. Nice to see Benson. I hope he has a great summer break.
I have a fear of falling - not a fear of heights. I'm afraid I won't be able to care for myself. All of my family passed away by the time I was 40. Now I'm 61and I do my best to work through the fear. I even rock climbed a wall on a cruise, and when I got to the top, I could see nothing but ocean everywhere. Scary, but spectacular. And spiders? I love them!
Tim is really enjoying the burrito with the pulled chicken. That means I gotta try it!
I heard about that boba and, at first, wasn't that interested because I have the brown sugar version in my freezer and I love that flavor but now after hearing how much you both liked it I definitely need to pick it up next time I go to TJ's!
My biggest fear currently is ending up alone. My parents are getting old and with that comes more health issues. I have two brothers but they don't live nearby and I'm not close with either of them. My friends I used to have all moved away during Covid. So now the only people I spend time with are my parents and I can't imagine not having them around.
Perfect timing, right before I do my shopping.
Hi, Katie and Tim ~ the mac and cheese sounds good. Thanks for always making your taste tests so informative about what you are reviewing. Gonna try the pizza bites. Definitely trying the dark chocolate pistachios. Benson is adorable and he seems like such a sweet boy. He is getting so big! My greatest fear was to lose one of my children and 12 years ago, my oldest son passed away but my faith in God has been my strength and comfort. Thanks for sharing!
I forgot to grab the pistachios when I stopped by the store yesterday. Good to know that they are good. I'll be grabbing some soon.
My fear is dying before my mom. She has major memory issues (we should get her official diagnosis Monday), and I'm her caretaker, so I worry what would happen if I have another sudden hospitalization or if I were to pass away, as in the past six months or so, she has rapidly declined and can't handle her meds, etc on her own.
Benson in the back making hand binoculars 😂😂😂😂 crazy kid!!❤❤
Haha
My biggest fear is something horrible happening to my children! On a not so dark note, I'm afraid of heights.
Same!
Excited for the chicken 🍗 verde!!
Always appreciate your honesty. I really don’t have any true fears or regrets. There is one that I get into a horrible accident and survive. Probably because I’m a nurse and have seen it all and I don’t fear death. ❤
Please give your opinion on the chocolate vanilla swirl gelato. At my T.Joes this week in Ar. Senior fan who appreciates your honest reviews. 😊
As I'm aging, my fear is being alone. I currently have such a wonderful family and friends that the thought of losing them makes me sad. On a lighter note, cockroaches make my skin crawl.
Thank you for another fun tasting video Tim and Katie. My real fear is the unknown and that gives me general anxiety, but I’m also afraid of clowns and spidies. Yes I call them spidies to make them less scary.
Katie, you convinced me to buy the chive cheddar cheese and it was so good. Great taste test, as usual.
My fear- missing out on travel, adventure etc. I agree with you on that Katie. Unfortunately it’s about finances sometimes. Also afraid of something bad happening to my 18 year old.
Ooooooh I love mango. I'll have to definitely get that mango Boba. I bought the instant Boba Trader Joe's had last summery and drank it with unsweetened vanilla almond milk. I bet the mango would be nice the same way.
Tim, I highly recommend using that salsa Verde chicken for nachos. There was this taqueria I used to go to before I relocated away from California that had amazing salsa Verde chicken nachos. Highly recommend doing that at home.
I'm actually excited to try those pizza bites! Gourmet or not, they sound good. For the question of the week: I'm afraid of enclosed spaces. I really don't even like to ride on elevators. The good news is, I get to climb a lot of stairs at work so it helps me get exercise lol!
My fear is loosing my freedom.
*losing
Fear=rats, mice, cockroaches😂
You always have such a fun taste test. I’m so happy I couldn’t find the wine, definitely not a connoisseur, but I’m sure I wouldn’t care for it. I’m afraid of fire, not candles, gas stoves or matches, but like a house or car fire. I’ve taken care of too many burned patients. Light side, goats, scorpions and peacocks, would never want them to be harmed, they just give me the creeps. Have a wonderful weekend 😊
Benson is in summer mode; he's a cutie. Is he catching any butterflies?
I'm adding the St. Emilion wine to my list.
My fears? Dying alone; losing my loved ones. I agree with Tim; family is #1 concern for me.
Oh, also, flying insects, and heights. I have to close my eyes as a passenger when going on an overpass. I will drive out of my way to avoid them.😉
Yes Benson is for sure in summer mode! Your fears are all very valid and I feel the same way.
Thank you so much for sharing the taste test. ❤
I just came back from Trader Joe’s they had those bags they were like $7.99 a bag. that was a bit much. i’m glad you guys liked the Boba drink, I bought it myself I can’t wait to try it.
The $7.99 price point is for the large insulated bags. The minis are brand new and $3.99.
Now I want to try the Peace wine and check out "different". It may well be better with food. It is zin-centric which appeals to me, and the Costco wine critic liked it. In the world of wine outside of TJ's, $15.99 isn't all that expensive for a decent red 🍷.
fun mac&cheese hack, if your a fan of Annie's mac and your a fan of stop and shop, mix it together. I did, back in 2019/2020 (do not do this not healthy) I ate All the mac&cheese I could find, those two are the best. Also Trader Joes are pretty good too, but if you cant get Trader Joe's mac then stop and shop is the best. Also i got some shrimp bow bun sandos (?) because of Tim's reviews. thanx Tim! (the only thing i didn't like about the shrimp, was the sauce so i threw the sauce away and just ate it plain or with Orange Chicken sauce
Love your honest reviews. I’m deathly afraid of drops. I love going to Disneyland but even Pirates of the Caribbean makes me anxious. 😬
Those pizza bites remind so much of these panzerotti pizza bites that they have in the Italian McDonald's!
I really liked the Love wine 🤷🏼♀️. Paired it with a spicy pasta pomodoro and a small charcuterie board. We’ll have to try the pizza bites and mac & cheese. I do the Annie’s for my kids as well and they definitely inhale it so bigger box would be great.
Definitely agree with Tim’s fear; I couldn’t handle something happening to my kids. But lighthearted - clowns and most bugs
My husband is also spiders/snakes Tim( i just showed him those flying, venomous spiders in ga, and east coast)😅😅❤
Love your videos!
My fear is definitely spiders and heights for sure!!!
I love mac&cheese but my stomach doesn’t. My biggest fear has happend, put down my 18 year old cat then lost my husband. Always feared being alone. Also huge fear of bugs, anything that slivers crawls or flies. I truly think you guys are just the cutest family.
I know you have been through so much. I’m so sorry you’ve had to live through your greatest fears. ❤️❤️
@@KatieHespe 💞🥰
U guys rock!!!! I have a big fear of something happening to my son and i have a fear of not having money to live and being homeless. But I am with Katie and my fear is being unable to travel or not being a good person or not being able to do what I want.
love when your cats make cameos in these videos ❤
You can always add a little extra shredded cheese to the Mac n cheese 😊
I really loved the hall and the taste test, I used to love to have bubble tea when I lived in Seattle all the time :-) I have so many fears cuz I have a lot of anxiety, but one of my biggest fears is white coat syndrome. Probably because I got type 1 diabetes when I turned 14 and had to spend all my life in the hospital or at a doctor's office so every time I go to the doctor I am shaking and convulsing and can't stop. I literally would rather be anywhere else than at a doctor's office even if it's just to talk with them, my teeth are chattering and I just want to leave I break out in a sweat because I know something will always be wrong with me because I have a disease. So it's psychological and physical reaction to it that I don't seem to be able to control very well. I can stand in front of hundreds of people and speak, I can do things like that but put me in a doctor's office and I am a wreck LOL
I have seen people suffer with dementia at a young age and that’s scares me so I maintain all the healthy habits I can to avoid it. Also, the fear of losing one of my kids. Can’t even think about it. And spiders and snakes, of course!! 😂
Thanks for a fun haul! Nice to see Benson peeking through also!! 😊
I have a very strange fear of going up stairs that I can see through, like they're open in between, I hope that makes sense. It just seems not right to me, so anything that seems like an unstable surface, I hate. It's not a fear of heights though, I'm fine with that I just don't like feeling unstable. Another example would be those really tall buildings that have glass floors, or going across a creaky bridge, nope, not doing it.
I like the bacon and egg gummies. I get a hint of a smoky taste, but I could be just imagining it. Haha
Those gummies would be cute fir decor on a brunch spread
Someone on you tube mentioned the boba were like snot balls and I just can’t bring myself to even try it now
Omg 🤢
The Pad See Ew is one of the most popular items at our local Thai restaurant.
I like you but I am senior now and look back my life and am for my three children and five grandchildren and feel that I have lived my life to the fullest and living in Hawai'i, I still dance hula with two daughters and granddaughters and danced to share to everyone and Alola Ka ko
I fear flying. Even seeing an airplane in the sky gives me anxiety. I don’t ever see myself getting on an airplane again. Had two scary flights before 911 then 911 happened and I was like “I’m never flying again”. At this point I’ve convinced myself that traveling is not worth the money or stressful planning, so I don’t feel like I’m missing out.
Thanks for another great video. I look forward to your hauls and taste tests every week! You two are so cute and down to earth. I’m afraid of spiders 🕷️ , mice 🐁 and cockroaches .
Katie, I just checked. Just wanted to let you know the Pizza Bites contain Animal Rennet.
My biggest fear was losing my parents. Unfortunately, that already happened in 2018 and 2022... now I would say my biggest fear is drowning - which was always a fear but now it's my biggest fear
Pad See Ew is terrible taking it back today!
Yes. I agree. It is terrible.
Don't often buy nuts my husband can't have (the "fun" ones, peanuts, cashews & pistachios). But, there's a local bakery that makes a tasty Chocolate, Pistachio Croissant; and those nuts seem like a way to get that flavor profile.
Random fear: running out of toilet paper.
Those bacon 🥓 and eggs 🍳 are waaayyyy too cute!
I feel myself waving at benson.
Went and bought the dark chocolate pistachio- yum!
Sunny way to start the day
I was curious what you thought of the Thai noodles. Mine had an odd bitterness to it, especially the green veggie. I wondered if I got a weird batch or if you tasted any bitterness. Other than that I enjoyed it but I might not get it again.
I did not taste any bitterness. Sorry yours wasn’t great.
Afraid of storms with big winds and my cottonwood tree coming down on my house.
katie we need you to link that shirt 😍 that is SO cute!!
My fear is getting old alone. I’m in a complicated relationship. I’m hoping for a better future for us. On the other spectrum, I also fear spiders and worms ! Ewww.
Yes being alone in the older years is definitely a scary thought!
Hi you guys! Pad See Ew is pronounced Pad See You.😊✌️💜
Need to get those pizza bites🍕
I want to travel and see the world but I feel like life is passing by so quickly that I won't get a chance to check many more things off my bucket list. I'm 54 yoa.
You’re still young! We are going on a trip with my parents to Alaska soon. They are 72!!
I missed the bags. Oh well.
A fear of heights 😢
Must try the pizza bits
I just watched another TJ's vid where she said the pizza bites had animal rennet in them. 😮
Tfs Katie & Super Tim!
Animal rennet in those pizza bites
You calling the wine unique brought back a memory of my childhood where one of my teachers told me that I was unique and my reply was that I know that you are calling me weird!
lol I got called weird all the time growing up. I’ve always taken it as a compliment. I don’t want to be “normal”…how boring.
Definitely! Thank you for replying, I love your reviews and your family is adorable!
Flying spiders in Ohio? I am in Ohio and have not heard this. Maybe in southern Ohio? I am near Cleveland 🤔
It was just in the news yesterday. I hope you don’t encounter them!
@@KatieHespe ME TOO!!!😳
Green is Katie’s color 💚
On the TJ's website it says that the panzerotti has animal rennet.
Closed places but more just not being in control, like medical test that I am not able to stop or get up. I have a rare muscular disease and have had to deal with such things.
Does Trader Joe’s sell the tortillas that Tim was eating? If so what kind are they? I don’t know which one to buy.
No, the tortillas he was eating are from Aldi.
I need to try that pulled chicken
I have the same fear as Tim. My other fear is bats 🦇. The reason for this is when I was a child I would walk home along a tree lined dirt path and birds would swoop down and try to peak our heads. The bats come into play when I was in my early 20’s and we would go camping and this one area had a swarm of bats that would fly over your heads. (I guess I should say that I’m afraid of any flying animal that gets close to my head.)
Katie!! You look extra great today!! ❤ You’re glowing!
Oh thank you!
Hi Katie! Your green top is sooo cute! I was wondering where you purchased it from?
It’s actually a dress! I got it last year at TJ max.
Fear of being alone ❤
Agree with Tim 100%; I have a daughter with "special abilities" & she's an only child.. My fear is me leaving her with noone .. :(
add 🍳 and make a breakfast🌯💯
Your makeup is great!
Spider's are my worst fear... Ohio can keep those big ugly multicolored spiders!😂
Did you try Vint Cabernet Sauvignon ( aged in bourbon barrels) off camera. Curious about your opinion.
We haven’t tried that one yet. I’ll let you know if/when we do.
What is the price of the Love wine? You didn’t share it in the haul or this video, so I’m curious of the price since you considered it high price but didn’t like. Thank you in advance! Love your videos!
It was $14.99 🙂
I am terrified of spiders not just afraid
I am fearful of going to the doctor and getting bad news . Fear of snakes 🐍
I have 2 big fears: one is heights and the other is frogs.
Use the wine for cooking
My fear of falling!
9:00 I see you Benson ❤😊
Team Tim’s tastebuds 😊
I’m afraid of the dark. Still use a night light
I assumed the bacon gummies tasted like bacon which is common these days, but I wondered how do the egg flavored gummies taste and was going to ask you. BUT THEN when I looked up the description, the bacon is apparently cherry flavor and the egg one, sort of like mango. Is that what it reminded you of?
Thanks for the flavor confirmation. I’m still not sure what they reminded us of lol
