• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Well, let's ask our American mama's Alma Mama.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: And joining us now we're American Mama's Terry Neediville and
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Kimberly Burlison. Valentine's Day like a big thing for you guys, y'all.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: You get all gussied up, you go out, you have,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: you know, chocolates. What do you like for Valentine's We.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: Used to do that. First of all, Mike was not
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: a good Valentine's person. He was not a good Valentine's
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: Day guy.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: I hope Mike just take this the wrong way, but
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: I can totally see.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he just wasn't. In fact, he never mind, but
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: he is not a good Valentine's Day person. So I
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: have gotten so after so many years, I stopped putting
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: any expectations on him. I just don't. So now when
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: he does do something, I'm so surprised, and it makes
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: me feel so good because he has in these later years,
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: you know, stepped up a little bit more. All right,
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: But one thing is I feel loved in different ways
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: I don't need chocolate. I don't need flowers.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Wendy doesn't like chocolate. Flowers have a very different meaning
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: for her, so I never give flowers on holidays and
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: stuff like that.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: I think there's something about being older, being an older couple,
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: and you start to recognize the areas that they are
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: showing love. I mean, just the fact that if I'm
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: having a conversation, putting your phone down and talking to somebody,
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: really anybody, is an act of love. Just put your
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: freakingd phone down and have a conversation. When my sister
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: comes over and has coffee with me, I feel loved.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: That makes me feel loved. Okay, when the trash is
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: taken out without me having to ask the trash that,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: I literally am giddy. I'm like happy. It's little things
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: that make me happy and feel loved that. When I
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: was younger, I wanted the big you know, write me
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: a letter. I want this, I want that. I don't
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: care about any of that anymore. I want let's watch Netflix.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: Let's just hang out, get some pizza, Netflix, and chill Netflix.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Valentine's anyway in the same boat.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: Well to me, I feel like Valentine's Day is for
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: those who date, like a dating, it's a it's a
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: good excuse to let somebody know that, hey, I'm really
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: into you, Like if somebody, if you've got these college
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: kids or high school kids who are kind of dating,
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: Valentine's Day is such a great gauge into where each
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: other stands. And then whenever, you know, whenever you're married.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: It's that sweet. I mean, then it became something for
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: the kids. We had kids, so we would have their
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: Valentine's little treats baskets when they woke up. So then
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: it became that kind of celebration, and you know, he
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: would he would get me my favorite chocolates. I would
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: get him and it was just like a little thing
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: with a card. But I really do think it's for
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: the daters of the world and for your children. What
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: do y'all do?
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Do y'all go to dinner? Do you do anything?
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: If he's not working, will or he'll cook something good?
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: That is that is part of the life with the
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: doctor is yeah, if he's not working.
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: If he's not.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Working, it's like the beginning for.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: I don't get my hard if he's not off right
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: for a Valentine's Day, I think it's special, but you
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: have people that are like, that's just another capitalist holiday for.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: You know, something for Wendy or y'all.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: What do y'all do in valoti. I don't think I'm
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: really good at that, like, you know, I just don't
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: think it lands you know, sometimes I'm not all that.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't feel like I do a
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: great job with that, you know what. But I'm remembering
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: back to high school though, because you said Valentine's is
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: for dating, So we dated sophomore year, did not date,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: junior dating against senior junior year. The school did this
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: fundraiser with a computer program, a computer dating thing, which
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: by the way, no school does this now, right, But
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: everybody would sign up and you'd put in some information
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: in the computer a print out here's your potential dates, right,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: and everybody got this list, and here's your top ten,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: and here's your top ten. Wendy was my top was
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: my number one on the computer list when we were
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: junior year's not dating. She was the number one on
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the way on the list that came out on Valentine's.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: No way, and I think I was like number seven
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: on hers anyway. But yeah, I mean that's that was
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: one of those things about Valentine's is for dating, and
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: that was kind.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: Of yeah, that's just a great flirty holiday.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: Sonny Kimberly's oldest daughter was she she's incredible, but anyway,
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: she's in charge of a lot of things, and she's
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: aware of everything that's going on in Dallas, Fort Worth
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: and Arlington. So we were all sitting around talking and
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: Lindsay was in there. She said, Aunt, Lindsay, do you
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: and Chad there's this place they're having this Valentine's thing
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: and they've only got so many slots open. Do y'all
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: want to have dinner at this place or whatever? And
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: Lizy's like, oh my god, yeah, sign me up. And
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: I thought, well, now that's cool. If you've got things
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: going on, like you know, have Koy and Shreeport, well
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: they'll do special things, especially events for New Years. Sure,
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: like if there's something special like that, that'd be a
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: great opportunity to go on the holidays like that. But
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: this generation is so aware, like Sunday knows what's going
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: on at all times, so there's never you never have
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: to wonder is there anything going on around Metrople. You
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: know they're so into it, and is that their fingertips
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: all they got to do. They don't have to call
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: and make reservations. They just did that. So it's easier
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: to celebrate Valentine's Day. I think in this generation than us, it's.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: Also about the gram, about the Instagram pictures. You know,
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: people want to see you on a day. It's all
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: about the showing people what you're doing.
