Speaker 1: My wife sent me something on Instagram the other day
0:12
Speaker 1: and all, you know, this just goes to show how
0:14
Speaker 1: exciting my life is. My Instagram and social media now
0:17
Speaker 1: is just flooded with pet stuff and basically parenting new
0:22
Speaker 1: baby stuff.
0:23
Speaker 2: That is exciting. That part is exciting. Yeah, you're right,
0:26
Speaker 2: that part is exciting.
0:28
Speaker 1: And now at our house, there is just something about
0:31
Speaker 1: our cats. You know, we have just a gaggle of
0:33
Speaker 1: cats around our house and they, you know, they just
0:35
Speaker 1: they just love Dad. They're male caregiver. They're Papa, okay,
0:40
Speaker 1: all right. They like sitting by me, snuggling up. Maybe
0:43
Speaker 1: because I give off so much body heat and they're
0:46
Speaker 1: just trying to be warm. I don't know, but the
0:48
Speaker 1: cats are just very, very loving towards Den.
0:50
Speaker 3: They're drawn to you, GiB that's right.
0:53
Speaker 1: And Corey sent me this yesterday on Instagram. I want
0:56
Speaker 1: you to listen to this and tell me what you think.
0:58
Speaker 4: Here a new study planes why certain cats may greet
1:01
Speaker 4: male owners louder than women. The data was gathered after
1:05
Speaker 4: cat owners were given body cameras to wear at home,
1:08
Speaker 4: and researchers say the cats me out more frequent when
1:11
Speaker 4: saying hello to their male caregivers and animal experts suggests
1:16
Speaker 4: cats are or more vocal because men don't always listen.
1:20
Speaker 5: Yeah, so when I get home and the cats they
1:25
Speaker 5: seem all excited and you know, me ow and away,
1:28
Speaker 5: and when they go up to mom, you know, the
1:30
Speaker 5: big joke is like.
1:31
Speaker 2: Oh Dad's home, they're all excited. Yeah, YadA YadA.
1:34
Speaker 1: Corey sends me that is she trying to tell me
1:36
Speaker 1: I need to be a better listener.
1:39
Speaker 2: There's one hundred that's.
1:41
Speaker 3: What she's saying.
1:42
Speaker 6: And I feel like there have been studies with humans
1:44
Speaker 6: about this of like having to speak up more and
1:47
Speaker 6: louder because guys don't listen and you just tune us out.
1:52
Speaker 3: And apparently you're tuning the cats out.
1:54
Speaker 6: Too, so you need to be a better listener, Gabe,
1:57
Speaker 6: She's absolutely correct.
2:00
Speaker 2: Sorry, what did you say? I hate you.
2:05
Speaker 7: Celebrating life's little victories every morning we practice gratitude on
2:10
Speaker 7: Big ninety eight point seven.
2:12
Speaker 1: If I could, I would keep this feeling in a
2:14
Speaker 1: plastic job busted out when it was someone's acting hard.
2:18
Speaker 7: Sure your little victories with us at seven oh one
2:21
Speaker 7: two and Oho one ninety eight seven, kids.
2:23
Speaker 1: I also needed to win that day, all right, Angie,
2:27
Speaker 1: I think we have to start off with Melissa's little
2:29
Speaker 1: victory today.
2:30
Speaker 2: This is great.
2:31
Speaker 1: She said, I was sick of asking people for help,
2:34
Speaker 1: so I moved this couch into an apartment by myself.
2:38
Speaker 1: It's a six foot vintage couch, and she moved it
2:41
Speaker 1: into her apartment solo.
2:42
Speaker 6: All right, Batty, Yeah, not only by yourself, buddy, In
2:47
Speaker 6: these weather conditions, you deserve a metal girl.
2:51
Speaker 8: Yeah.
2:51
Speaker 2: Disgusting. I wouldn't think of a worse time.
2:53
Speaker 3: To try to do that, but nobody wanted to help exactly.
2:57
Speaker 2: Congratulations to you, Angie. Do you have a victory today?
3:01
Speaker 3: I do so.
3:02
Speaker 6: When I was gone on my trip a few weeks ago,
3:07
Speaker 6: Mikey was with the kids and he was in charge
3:09
Speaker 6: obviously of keeping them alive, but he was making their
3:12
Speaker 6: meals all week, and I kept getting texts about how
3:15
Speaker 6: everything Mike makes is so delicious blah blah blah.
3:19
Speaker 3: And they don't do that to me.
3:21
Speaker 6: They're like, oh this again, Like they're not super fans
3:26
Speaker 6: of my cooking.
3:27
Speaker 3: They're also really stopping now. They're really SnO because they
3:30
Speaker 3: don't like leftovers. I'm like, you better.
3:33
Speaker 2: Learn, Yeah, you better leftover.
3:35
Speaker 6: Family, Yes, And so last night I made these tofu
3:41
Speaker 6: rice bowls and the kids gobbled them up and loved them.
3:47
Speaker 6: And then I don't know if you watched The Great
3:48
Speaker 6: British Baking Show, but Paul Hollywood, when someone makes a
3:52
Speaker 6: really great baked good, he gives them a handshake.
3:56
Speaker 3: And Liam gave me a handshake.
3:58
Speaker 2: Wow, that's your younger one. Yes, you don't.
4:01
Speaker 6: I'm the nine year old or the eight year old. Wow, No,
4:04
Speaker 6: his age, Angie. He is a harsher critic than my
4:08
Speaker 6: older son. And so for him to give me the
4:10
Speaker 6: handshake and tell me I did a good job with dinner,
4:13
Speaker 6: that meant everything to me.
4:14
Speaker 3: It's the little things in life, Gabe.
4:17
Speaker 2: That is wonderful.
4:18
Speaker 1: My little victory for you here this morning was yesterday
4:22
Speaker 1: I got to be champion hubby of the moment.
4:25
Speaker 2: Okay.
4:25
Speaker 1: We were at Unhinged obviously for big happy hours. Yes,
4:28
Speaker 1: it was a great time. It's always fun on Thursdays
4:31
Speaker 1: A when you stop by and visit us and and B.
4:34
Speaker 1: I get to hang out with Angie and Mikey normally
4:36
Speaker 1: on those days. But yesterday I left to go to Unhinged. Now,
4:41
Speaker 1: normally my wife Corey will go with. You know, she
4:43
Speaker 1: has no problem going, but it was one of those
4:46
Speaker 1: scenarios where I had to go and she kind of
4:48
Speaker 1: wasn't getting off work on time to ride to ride
4:50
Speaker 1: with me, so she had decided, well ride by my
4:54
Speaker 1: drive myself to Unhinge.
4:55
Speaker 6: Absolutely not, I get it, queen, I don't drive myself anyway.
4:59
Speaker 1: He des to stay home, which is perfectly fine, of course,
5:02
Speaker 1: but your boy got to walk in thanks to Unhinged,
5:07
Speaker 1: who made it the children's pizza, just a nice little
5:11
Speaker 1: personal pizza for her. And when I got home, I
5:14
Speaker 1: was the food hero of the day and all of
5:17
Speaker 1: the credit goes to Unhinged Sports Bar in West Fargo.
5:20
Speaker 1: So I was hubby of the century yesterday because I
5:23
Speaker 1: showed up with food.
5:24
Speaker 6: Oh my gosh, especially now that she's pregnant like that.
5:28
Speaker 3: Wow, Gabe.
5:30
Speaker 6: Let me now.
5:35
Speaker 1: There was this dad who went viral on social media,
5:39
Speaker 1: of course, because he turned kind of mundane, frankly, kind
5:44
Speaker 1: of icky task into just an enjoyable moment for him
5:48
Speaker 1: and his new baby.
5:49
Speaker 8: Right.
5:49
Speaker 1: That is all that my wife and I see on
5:51
Speaker 1: social media nowadays. For both of us, it's like dog
5:53
Speaker 1: videos and baby slash parenting videos and what have you.
5:57
Speaker 6: Oh my gosh, that's my algorithm to no, because I
6:00
Speaker 6: hang out so much.
6:01
Speaker 2: Your phone is listening. Yeah, and he passes.
6:05
Speaker 1: The time changing a diaper by just he just makes
6:07
Speaker 1: up songs and it's turned into kind of this fun
6:09
Speaker 1: little thing he does for social media. And wait for
6:12
Speaker 1: him to ay get through changing this diaper and me
6:15
Speaker 1: it's just kind of some bonding moment for him and
6:18
Speaker 1: to set a baby. Now, maybe that'll be something I
6:21
Speaker 1: do when said baby arrives. But how do you get
6:25
Speaker 1: through mundane tasks? Like when you have some dishes to do?
6:29
Speaker 1: You know they take five to ten minutes, but you
6:31
Speaker 1: gotta do them. Yeah, what do you do to kind
6:33
Speaker 1: of pass the time and you're doing little light chores
6:36
Speaker 1: like that?
6:36
Speaker 6: Specifically with the dishes. Actually, I have the kid, Like,
6:40
Speaker 6: the kids will be in the living room and so
6:42
Speaker 6: will Mikey, and then I have to be stuck in
6:44
Speaker 6: the kitchen doing dishes because they treat.
6:45
Speaker 3: Me like trash. No, I'm kidding.
6:47
Speaker 6: I have a very specific way that I like the
6:49
Speaker 6: dishes done, so I'm like, no, no, just let me
6:51
Speaker 6: do them. But it's not fun for me. So we
6:54
Speaker 6: play a game of twenty questions. Oh sure, yeah, But
6:57
Speaker 6: because I'm the one watching the dishes. I get to
6:59
Speaker 6: always be the one that picks the thing that I'm
7:02
Speaker 6: like looking at, and then they have to ask the
7:04
Speaker 6: twenty questions and.
7:06
Speaker 3: It does myself fast. It's really fun and I think
7:09
Speaker 3: very wholesome.
7:10
Speaker 8: Yeah.
7:10
Speaker 1: Seven oh one two eight zero one, nine eight seven.
7:13
Speaker 1: That's very cute. I think a lot of people could.
7:15
Speaker 1: That's kind of a fun way to interact with your
7:16
Speaker 1: family a little bit too. Yeah it is seven oh
7:19
Speaker 1: one two eight zero one nine eight seven. How do
7:21
Speaker 1: you make mundane tasks go by? What about you, Julie?
7:25
Speaker 8: I turned running into a competition against my own bad habits.
7:29
Speaker 8: I only let myself listen to my favorite podcast if
7:32
Speaker 8: I'm jogging, and now I'm mad if I don't run
7:35
Speaker 8: because I need to know what happens next. I just
7:38
Speaker 8: totally tricks my own brain.
7:39
Speaker 2: That's mad.
7:40
Speaker 1: Smart Mark take away something you like unless you're doing
7:43
Speaker 1: something you'd maybe maybe you enjoy, but don't love.
7:46
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, oh gosh, I couldn't jogging. I would
7:50
Speaker 3: never hear the podcast.
7:52
Speaker 1: One of my favorite things. If I have to do
7:54
Speaker 1: the dishes or you know, do cooking or whatever, Yeah,
7:58
Speaker 1: is I will whatever team with sports team that I
8:02
Speaker 1: had just watched the night before. I will listen to,
8:06
Speaker 1: you know people, it's like a podcast, but I'll listen
8:08
Speaker 1: to people talk about that team, right, So I'll listen
8:10
Speaker 1: to you know, like the vit the hot Vikings takes
8:14
Speaker 1: of the week, and I never and these are like
8:16
Speaker 1: forty five minute long things, and I never get anywhere
8:19
Speaker 1: close to the end. I get maybe eight minutes in
8:22
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, yeah, I should pause that.
8:23
Speaker 2: I'll listen to that later.
8:25
Speaker 6: Never I've never finished until the next MONDAYE.
8:28
Speaker 1: Right, Richard, what about you? How do you pass mundane
8:32
Speaker 1: task time?
8:33
Speaker 7: Music definitely helps with most tasks. Whenever I have to
8:37
Speaker 7: clean something that's gonna take me a while, I just
8:39
Speaker 7: flash the music and the time seems to fly right by.
8:42
Speaker 2: That's wonderful. You're welcome. Yeah.
8:44
Speaker 6: He clearly has the Big ninety eight points of an
8:46
Speaker 6: app downloaded onto his phone and playing through his speaker.
8:52
Speaker 2: This is am I the problem.
8:55
Speaker 3: It's me, HI the problem, it's me.
9:00
Speaker 7: We'll hear one side of the story and with your
9:02
Speaker 7: help probably decide if it's right or if maybe you're
9:07
Speaker 7: the problem.
9:08
Speaker 3: That's right, I am the problem.
9:10
Speaker 2: On Big ninety eight point seven.
9:14
Speaker 6: Maggie wrote into us, Hey guys, this is Maggie, and
9:17
Speaker 6: I think I'm never gonna be invited to a playdate
9:20
Speaker 6: ever again. Wow Wow, what a hot start, Meg. My
9:25
Speaker 6: four year old son made a friend at daycare and
9:27
Speaker 6: the mom invited us to grab lunch at West Acres
9:30
Speaker 6: and then walk around. Lunch was great, but when we
9:33
Speaker 6: headed out into the mall, she busted out the harness
9:36
Speaker 6: and leash for her kid.
9:38
Speaker 3: I just held my son's hand.
9:40
Speaker 6: I might have mentioned I would never put my kid
9:42
Speaker 6: on the leash, maybe with more umph in my voice
9:45
Speaker 6: than I expected to come out. I walked it back immediately,
9:49
Speaker 6: but it was obviously awkward. She explained her kid as
9:51
Speaker 6: a bit of a wild child, and I told her
9:53
Speaker 6: I totally understand, but I think the damage is done.
9:57
Speaker 3: Huh do you.
10:00
Speaker 6: Think it was okay for her to be like, oh,
10:03
Speaker 6: the leash?
10:04
Speaker 2: I will tell you right now. Okay.
10:06
Speaker 1: I have a couple buddies, all right, one of them
10:08
Speaker 1: we might call Seysar. Okay, my buddy, Saysar, whom I
10:12
Speaker 1: loved to death. I was in his wedding this past summer.
10:15
Speaker 1: That's my guy, no matter what. Okay, but Saysar, is
10:18
Speaker 1: a little bit of a liability when you are out
10:21
Speaker 1: and about with him. Okay, you never exactly know what
10:24
Speaker 1: this man is going to get into, what he's going
10:27
Speaker 1: to say or do or what have you. There are
10:29
Speaker 1: multiple instances of Seysar just being an idiot and potentially
10:35
Speaker 1: getting kicked out of certain places where it's like, well,
10:38
Speaker 1: we gotta go with Seysar and that is my boy, okay.
10:41
Speaker 2: And you know what we do. We ride or die
10:44
Speaker 2: with our boy.
10:45
Speaker 1: If you have a kid and they have a friend
10:49
Speaker 1: who is a leash kid, you know what, you just
10:51
Speaker 1: shut up and you keep it pushing.
10:52
Speaker 2: That is a ride or die moment. You just shut up.
10:56
Speaker 3: I like that.
10:57
Speaker 1: I understand that it might be like, oh, man, like
11:00
Speaker 1: I gotta do deal with this today? Is this kid
11:03
Speaker 1: gonna do? What are people gonna think? Who cares that?
11:07
Speaker 1: If that's your boy, you stand ten toes down for
11:10
Speaker 1: your boy. And in this case it's your son's friend, Okay,
11:13
Speaker 1: you are supposed to be there to support him and
11:16
Speaker 1: you just hope to God all goes well. That's kind
11:18
Speaker 1: of like when I hang out with my buddy, says
11:19
Speaker 1: are we just go out and pray it ends great.
11:22
Speaker 6: I love this energy. Seven oh one Toto one nine
11:25
Speaker 6: eight seven. Do you think it was wrong for Maggie
11:28
Speaker 6: to be a little bit of judge?
11:30
Speaker 3: What g was a bear with this new.
11:33
Speaker 6: Mom friend that she has because the mom put her
11:36
Speaker 6: kid in one of those harness harness leash things. I
11:39
Speaker 6: have some thoughts on this, but I need to collect them.
11:42
Speaker 6: We also want to hear from you. Seven oh one
11:44
Speaker 6: toto one, nine eighty seven.
11:50
Speaker 1: But Chili, I think we probably just it's gonna be cold.
11:53
Speaker 1: It's gonna be cold, Maggie.
11:54
Speaker 2: He's like fifteen, that'll.
11:56
Speaker 3: Be Monday, hopefully.
11:58
Speaker 6: So Maggie went on a play date with a mom
12:02
Speaker 6: who invited her and her kid and they went to
12:05
Speaker 6: walk around West Acres and the mom busted out the
12:09
Speaker 6: harness and the leash for her kid. Maggie's kid doesn't
12:13
Speaker 6: have one of those, and Maggie said, oh, I would
12:16
Speaker 6: never put my kid on a leash and didn't realize
12:19
Speaker 6: maybe I said that a little harsh and she tried
12:20
Speaker 6: to walk back.
12:21
Speaker 3: But she thinks the damage is done. Was she the problem?
12:25
Speaker 6: I'm gonna tell you this, Maggie. It must be nice
12:29
Speaker 6: to have a kid where you don't have to worry
12:32
Speaker 6: about them. Running off on a whim. Sure, but some
12:38
Speaker 6: of us don't have that kid. Now. I have Liam
12:41
Speaker 6: is eight, but when he was younger, in that age,
12:44
Speaker 6: they were four years old.
12:45
Speaker 3: As her kid, he was quite the flight risk. Okay.
12:50
Speaker 6: In fact, in kindergarten, this this boy ran out of
12:55
Speaker 6: the school twice and they had to put out like
12:58
Speaker 6: an APB, like we've got a kid on the loose.
13:00
Speaker 6: And he literally ran out of the school, out of
13:03
Speaker 6: the campus, completely across the street.
13:06
Speaker 3: He was trying to run home.
13:07
Speaker 6: Like this kid, I should put him in track. This
13:10
Speaker 6: kid was a runner.
13:12
Speaker 1: He would have been real good in The Great Escape,
13:14
Speaker 1: that movie exactly.
13:16
Speaker 6: So I never put him on a leash harness situation
13:21
Speaker 6: because I was one of those people who would judge
13:24
Speaker 6: moms that would do that until I had a kid
13:27
Speaker 6: of my own, Yeah, who.
13:28
Speaker 3: Was a flight risk, and it was like ugh.
13:30
Speaker 6: And the reason that I never put him on there
13:32
Speaker 6: was because I was worried what other moms would think
13:36
Speaker 6: and if they would be judging me. Sometimes a kid
13:39
Speaker 6: need a leash, okay, And when that happens, you just
13:42
Speaker 6: avert your eyes, okay, don't.
13:43
Speaker 3: Say anything about it.
13:45
Speaker 6: We all go through our struggles as parents we try
13:48
Speaker 6: not to. I think it's important to try not to
13:50
Speaker 6: judge each other unless the kid is being put in
13:53
Speaker 6: harm's way. I think we all just gotta let everybody
13:56
Speaker 6: do their parenting the way they're gonna do it.
13:58
Speaker 2: And just keep it moving.
14:00
Speaker 3: Yes, and just keep it moving.
14:02
Speaker 1: Carla, she said, Obviously she's been judged two before, so
14:07
Speaker 1: if she's interested, she'll reach out to you or vice versa.
14:11
Speaker 1: In the meantime, people, instead of judging the mom that
14:15
Speaker 1: might have her kid on a harness or the leash,
14:17
Speaker 1: think of all the moms you've seen where the kid
14:20
Speaker 1: is not being controlled and the mom couldn't give a
14:23
Speaker 1: rats you know what about what people think at least
14:26
Speaker 1: she is trying. Parenting is tough, and that is true,
14:29
Speaker 1: and I can only equate this to things I know.
14:32
Speaker 1: All right, there is nothing worse, and a lot of
14:35
Speaker 1: people actually probably can't experience this. But have you ever
14:37
Speaker 1: been to the park and there is just a dog
14:40
Speaker 1: there that is not on a leash, that really needs
14:43
Speaker 1: to be.
14:43
Speaker 2: On one right, yes, of out of control and what
14:46
Speaker 2: have you.
14:47
Speaker 1: Now, there's a little bit of a difference between a
14:48
Speaker 1: dog and a kid, but there is nothing worse than
14:52
Speaker 1: your dog acting up in a park and that person
14:55
Speaker 1: doesn't have a leash.
14:55
Speaker 2: It's like, ah's your dog on a leag what are
14:57
Speaker 2: you doing. I'm gonna tell you this one now looks.
15:02
Speaker 3: Yes, but you have so you're gonna have a kid soon.
15:05
Speaker 6: For those first handful of years, babies and dogs are
15:09
Speaker 6: very similar. I saw this survey and I thought what And.
15:20
Speaker 3: Then I thought whoa?
15:22
Speaker 6: And you know that meme where the girl takes a
15:24
Speaker 6: swig of the kombucha and she's like ew, but then
15:27
Speaker 6: she's like whoa.
15:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay.
15:31
Speaker 6: So there's a new survey that says that like two
15:35
Speaker 6: thirds of parents don't care if their children cuss or
15:40
Speaker 6: swear or curse, whatever you want to call it. That
15:44
Speaker 6: parents are like, yeah, that's fine these days. And that
15:47
Speaker 6: was surprising to me. However, as a mother to a teenager,
15:53
Speaker 6: will because my okay, So the rule in my house
15:57
Speaker 6: seven oh one two eight A one nine eight said,
16:00
Speaker 6: and do you let your kids swear?
16:02
Speaker 3: Why or why not? Let us know? I have this
16:04
Speaker 3: up on the big ninety eight points I have on
16:06
Speaker 3: Facebook page.
16:07
Speaker 6: Also, my kid, I know that he swears, aiden I
16:11
Speaker 6: know he swears, he does not do it in front
16:13
Speaker 6: of me. But I just know because one time I
16:15
Speaker 6: heard him on his headset playing video games a couple
16:18
Speaker 6: of years ago, and I heard him say the F bomb, and.
16:22
Speaker 3: I was so shocked.
16:24
Speaker 2: Yeah under the bus there, goodness.
16:29
Speaker 6: But we had a conversation and I was like, listen,
16:32
Speaker 6: I can't stop you swear.
16:34
Speaker 2: There's nothing you can do. And he's at the park.
16:35
Speaker 3: Yeah.
16:36
Speaker 6: When I was in the fourth grade, I was swearing
16:38
Speaker 6: my little heart away. Okay, so I can't stop him.
16:42
Speaker 6: So the rules for swearing.
16:45
Speaker 3: Do not swear in front of me, and do not
16:47
Speaker 3: swear in front of your friend's parents. Basically in front
16:50
Speaker 3: of adults. You don't be swearing whatever else you do,
16:53
Speaker 3: like I.
16:54
Speaker 1: Guess because I don't want you embarrassing me. I don't
16:57
Speaker 1: care about your language.
16:58
Speaker 2: No, I'm just yeah, well kind of.
17:00
Speaker 3: And then but there was one time where we were
17:03
Speaker 3: we were it was on his birthday, actually his fourteenth birthday,
17:07
Speaker 3: and it was just me and him. We'd gone to
17:08
Speaker 3: the movies and he said, hey, do you want to
17:11
Speaker 3: hear me say the F word just one time to
17:14
Speaker 3: hear what it sounds like.
17:16
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, but also clearly this kid knows me, because
17:19
Speaker 6: I was like, yeah, wow.
17:22
Speaker 3: So he said it.
17:24
Speaker 6: And let me tell you, I told this kid, you
17:26
Speaker 6: sound like a loser like that.
17:28
Speaker 3: He does not sound good swearing.
17:30
Speaker 2: My god, it shouldn't.
17:32
Speaker 3: Be swearing anyway.
17:33
Speaker 6: I did get some great responses on Facebook. Katie, Christina
17:38
Speaker 6: and Jared just gave a flat out no, nothing wrong
17:41
Speaker 6: with that. Yeah, no features on I don't swear in
17:44
Speaker 6: front of my mom. That was like a big no no.
17:46
Speaker 6: And I've carried that my entire life. In fact, that's
17:48
Speaker 6: how I stopped myself from swearing on air. I just
17:50
Speaker 6: picture my mom is in the room.
17:52
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's a good way to do it.
17:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, Sarah said.
17:54
Speaker 6: When kiddo's hit middle school, we are a lot more
17:57
Speaker 6: lenient with it. As us parents often swear. We always
18:00
Speaker 6: discussed proper usage though, time, place, et cetera.
18:03
Speaker 3: Number one rule is you're swearing cannot be about a person.
18:07
Speaker 3: Oh I like that.
18:08
Speaker 6: You can swear when you stub your toe or see
18:10
Speaker 6: something crazy on TV, but you don't call people B
18:14
Speaker 6: word or F.
18:15
Speaker 3: Word or etc.
18:18
Speaker 2: Sure that was what I was always kind of taught,
18:20
Speaker 2: you know.
18:21
Speaker 1: And me and Grandpa and Uncle Steve and my brother
18:25
Speaker 1: and dad were sitting in the duck blind you know,
18:28
Speaker 1: it's just the fellas. He didn't really he was pretty
18:30
Speaker 1: leaning about that, but the second you know, Grandma or
18:34
Speaker 1: mom was around, that was a no go. My mother
18:38
Speaker 1: to this day, I'm thirty five years old, okay, I
18:40
Speaker 1: am like halfway to seventy. My mother still does not
18:45
Speaker 1: like when any she hears any my older brother or
18:48
Speaker 1: younger sister, all in our thirties, yeah, swear.
18:51
Speaker 2: She would just prefer we never did it.
18:53
Speaker 1: Now some of us are a lot better about abiding
18:57
Speaker 1: by that rule than others. But even at thirty five,
19:00
Speaker 1: my mom's still not a fan.
19:01
Speaker 2: Dad.
19:01
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got like hearing aids. If he doesn't
19:04
Speaker 1: have one in, he doesn't hear you anyway, So it
19:06
Speaker 1: doesn't really matter.
19:07
Speaker 6: I think for me as a parent, I think if
19:10
Speaker 6: the worst issue I'm facing is that my kid is swearing,
19:13
Speaker 6: then things are fine.
19:15
Speaker 1: And times are different now in twenty twenty six, they're
19:18
Speaker 1: a lot more lenient with like, hey, maybe songs you
19:21
Speaker 1: hear on the radio, or be the language they use
19:24
Speaker 1: on TV shows that are on just basic cable.
19:26
Speaker 3: Oh I still don't.
19:27
Speaker 6: I've actually become more strict than my parents were with
19:31
Speaker 6: what we watch on TV. Amber said, This is my
19:35
Speaker 6: favorite rules of the house. Once you get a job
19:37
Speaker 6: and start paying taxes, that's when you can start cussing.
19:40
Speaker 2: A fair point right there, because.
19:44
Speaker 3: You had a bad one.
19:47
Speaker 1: My wife texted me, I don't know forty five or
19:49
Speaker 1: so a minutes ago. Our dog threw up this morning.
19:52
Speaker 1: She cleaned it, but when I get back, you know
19:54
Speaker 1: it might need another scrub.
19:55
Speaker 3: Okay, and misser sounds terrible. I'm not gonna lie.
19:58
Speaker 1: Misery loves misery, okay, and your misery just loves company.
20:02
Speaker 1: I want to have you be the judge or the jury,
20:05
Speaker 1: or if you're riding along in your car listening at work,
20:07
Speaker 1: I want you to be the judge and the jury
20:09
Speaker 1: as well. Are these problems worse than mine? I found
20:12
Speaker 1: these on a website called fml. Okay, okay, you know
20:16
Speaker 1: what that means, right, okay, all right? Is my dog
20:20
Speaker 1: throwing up this morning worse than this today? My boyfriend
20:24
Speaker 1: told me he thinks brushing his teeth and doing anything
20:26
Speaker 1: basically hygienic is unnecessary now because we're all going to
20:30
Speaker 1: die out around twenty fifty anyway.
20:34
Speaker 6: Wow, well, I mean her life is worse than that.
20:39
Speaker 6: She clearly doesn't have a boyfriend now.
20:41
Speaker 3: Like she's got a hick on the curb.
20:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred percent. Yeah, I what would I'd say?
20:46
Speaker 1: I'd argue that would be worse as well, because my
20:48
Speaker 1: little dog problem, you know, essentially is gonna go away
20:51
Speaker 1: by today's You got to deal with this well the
20:54
Speaker 1: next whatever the math is twenty four.
20:56
Speaker 2: Years Okay, what about this? Today?
20:58
Speaker 1: My cat came through the window holding a dead rat
21:01
Speaker 1: in her mouth. That dropped it in my pile of clothes.
21:03
Speaker 1: I then asked my husband if he could get the
21:05
Speaker 1: dead rat out of the room. After looking for an hour,
21:08
Speaker 1: he couldn't find it. I guess the rat wasn't dead
21:10
Speaker 1: after all. This sounds like my worst nightmare. Uh No,
21:14
Speaker 1: that's way worse, way worse.
21:15
Speaker 6: Wait where you should feel real great about your problems
21:18
Speaker 6: right now, because iw no.
21:20
Speaker 1: That would be a nightmare. I have two more of
21:22
Speaker 1: these for you here, Angie. Today, the father of my
21:26
Speaker 1: unborn child that told me he isn't sure he'll be
21:29
Speaker 1: able to make the birth since there's not since there's
21:32
Speaker 1: no guarantee of what it will happen, so we can't
21:35
Speaker 1: schedule time off. This would be understandable if he actually
21:39
Speaker 1: had a job.
21:41
Speaker 6: There's no way mall you about to be a single
21:45
Speaker 6: mom girl, and that is horrible FML for her.

Speaker 1: helped celebrate the one hundredth day of school with his
22:45
Speaker 1: great granddaughter's kindergarten class. Sunny, who was born in nineteen
22:51
Speaker 1: twenty five, was in the US Navy, and he attended
22:54

23:10
Speaker 1: including transportation, grocery shopping, and this great grandpa shared stories
23:15
Speaker 1: from his life and said faith and family are what
23:17
Speaker 1: have sustained him for one hundred years. I always used
23:21
Speaker 1: to love I remember in like first grade when either
23:24
Speaker 1: my dad or mom or whoever or someone else's mom
23:28
Speaker 1: or dad would come and have lunch with the kids
23:30
Speaker 1: for I always thought that was the coolest thing. That's
23:33
Speaker 1: one thing I'm looking forward to about being a parent.
23:35
Speaker 1: If they want me there, it's shown up one day
23:37
Speaker 1: just for lunch.
23:39
Speaker 3: Even if they don't want you there, you go.
23:41
Speaker 2: That's true, but very very cool.
23:43
Speaker 1: What a fun day for those kids too, because to them,
23:46
Speaker 1: I mean, one hundred years old is so far away
23:50
Speaker 1: when you're in kindergarten. Yeah, the world is full of
23:52
Speaker 1: nice people. If you can't find one, you gotta be one.
