- 0:32Speaker 2: No?
- 0:33Speaker 1: Was was your mom involved in helping the.
- 0:36Speaker 2: Matchmak She was not, But I will say I am.
- 0:40Speaker 2: I am the best dating site for not just my children,
- 0:43Speaker 2: but others because I when I set people up, I
- 0:46Speaker 2: don't just set them up because they're single. I look
- 0:49Speaker 2: and see what qualities. Three have gotten married and oh yeah,
- 0:53Speaker 2: and one is one of my own. Okay, so you
- 0:56Speaker 2: know we were talking about Taylor Swift. Yes, and I
- 1:00Speaker 2: did not know this, but her mother Andrea. Yes, she
- 1:05Speaker 2: got wind of Travis Kelcey.
- 1:07Speaker 1: Because Taylor had a pattern. So she would meet a guy.
- 1:12Speaker 1: I don't think she was on dating sites, but she
- 1:13Speaker 1: would meet a guy, they'd go out, it wouldn't go well.
- 1:16Speaker 1: She would write an album that would make her.
- 1:18Speaker 2: A toll guy.
- 1:19Speaker 1: She'd meet another guy, they would go out, it wouldn't go, well,
- 1:22Speaker 1: she'd write an album and then that would make her
- 1:24Speaker 1: a ton of money. And then, I mean, financially, it
- 1:27Speaker 1: was a great thing. But she, I mean, she wasn't
- 1:29Speaker 1: finding happiness well.
- 1:30Speaker 2: And then when she found out about this guy, Travis
- 1:32Speaker 2: Kelcey that went to one of her concerts and had
- 1:36Speaker 2: and left a friendship bracelet with his number. She didn't
- 1:39Speaker 2: know anything about him or the Kansas City Chiefs. Her
- 1:42Speaker 2: cousin Robin did. So she called Robin, who's a huge fan,
- 1:45Speaker 2: and said, hey, tell me about this Travis Kelcey guy.
- 1:48Speaker 2: And Robin said, oh my god, he's like the nicest guy,
- 1:50Speaker 2: and he loves his mother. He's good to his mother.
- 1:53Speaker 2: And Andrea said, ding ding ding, ding ding, this might
- 1:58Speaker 2: be the one. So it worked out well. We know
- 2:00Speaker 2: our children. So when Steel, my oldest, brought Tristan home,
- 2:04Speaker 2: they were sixteen years old. She was wise, beyond her years, beautiful,
- 2:08Speaker 2: she's still just beautiful.
- 2:10Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:11Speaker 2: I remember after a couple of months, maybe even more,
- 2:14Speaker 2: I said, Steele, do not ruin this for us. We
- 2:17Speaker 2: love her. I knew that not only would she be
- 2:20Speaker 2: so good to my son, but I knew that she
- 2:22Speaker 2: would fit in with us. Okay, so then let's fast
- 2:25Speaker 2: forward a couple of years, well few years, because they
- 2:28Speaker 2: dated for nine years and then got married. Yeah, while
- 2:31Speaker 2: Steele was playing for Louisiana Tech baseball, in comes this
- 2:36Speaker 2: guy right behind in the year after named Philip Matula. Right,
- 2:40Speaker 2: So as the years progressed, you know that both of
- 2:43Speaker 2: them did great baseball. Yeah, Steel was and still their
- 2:47Speaker 2: their team. They were friends with everybody. They were great friends.
- 2:50Speaker 1: And this is the team that was the national championship. Yeah.
- 2:52Speaker 2: Yeah, well in the in the conference turn not national.
- 2:55Speaker 2: And so Steele was captain and then when he graduated,
- 2:59Speaker 2: Philip became the captain. But a couple of years before that,
- 3:02Speaker 2: I said to Summer, Summer, one of the guys that
- 3:06Speaker 2: I have met on the team is amazing because she
- 3:09Speaker 2: went to Louisiana Tech as well. And she said, Mom,
- 3:12Speaker 2: and I said, no, listen to me. I know things.
- 3:15Speaker 2: This guy when we're when we moms are up there
- 3:17Speaker 2: putting together travel bags, he comes up there and he
- 3:21Speaker 2: thanks us. He is so good to the fans. His
- 3:23Speaker 2: line the kids to get autographed. You know, he had
- 3:26Speaker 2: the longest line of kids. And he was captain that year.
- 3:29Speaker 2: And I said, I said, Summer, I really think y'all
- 3:32Speaker 2: would be great together. He's got all these qualities. And
- 3:35Speaker 2: she said, Mom, I am not going to date anybody
- 3:39Speaker 2: that is playing with my brothers because Slade, you know,
- 3:41Speaker 2: became a team Membreakfast. I'm not going to do that
- 3:44Speaker 2: because let's say we date and then things go awry
- 3:48Speaker 2: and we break up, well, that makes things weird for
- 3:50Speaker 2: him and Steal. That'll change the dynamics on the field.
- 3:53Speaker 2: I'm not going to be responsible for that. I'm like, okay,
- 3:56Speaker 2: all right. So then she graduates the next year and
- 4:01Speaker 2: it was I remember I was selling tickets in the
- 4:04Speaker 2: lobby and down comes Philip and another guy, his best
- 4:08Speaker 2: friend ad down the stairs, and Summer had already graduated,
- 4:11Speaker 2: was gone. She was a nurse in Texas. And I said,
- 4:14Speaker 2: Philip Matulia, I thought for sure that you and my
- 4:18Speaker 2: daughter would date one day. And he came up and
- 4:21Speaker 2: he gave me hugg He said, it's not too late,
- 4:23Speaker 2: miss Terry. So they they started talking. They dated for
- 4:29Speaker 2: a year, got engaged, got married the very next year,
- 4:32Speaker 2: and then the very next year, coming up October fifteenth,
- 4:35Speaker 2: they will have their first baby.
- 4:37Speaker 1: So when Wendy and I were dating in high school
- 4:41Speaker 1: at the end of sophomore year, we broke up and
- 4:43Speaker 1: my mom chewed me out. Yep, and Wendy's mom.
- 4:49Speaker 2: Chews up because we know we know it. Now, I
- 4:53Speaker 2: will say this, I did try to set slight up
- 4:57Speaker 2: with somebody. That's my youngest, all right. He thought she
- 5:01Speaker 2: was great, but it just wasn't his thing. So now
- 5:04Speaker 2: he doesn't let me even suggest anybody. And he's very
- 5:09Speaker 2: very private of the three when it comes to his
- 5:12Speaker 2: dating his dating life. If I meet her, if he
- 5:17Speaker 2: brings her to the house, then they've been dating for
- 5:20Speaker 2: two or three months. And I'm like, okay, yeah, this
- 5:23Speaker 2: is something.
- 5:24Speaker 1: Well, it worked for Taylor Swift, so maybe maybe mom
- 5:27Speaker 1: should be more involved than dating apps.
- 5:30Speaker 2: I'm exactly I like it.
