1:18
Well, this morning we had already eaten the 2 boys are playing Jackson and.
1:22
Let's call him Banthony.
1:27
We're playing basketball.
1:28
I'm sitting at the kitchen table with like my back to them, and I still had my, my tea right there.
1:33
Sweet tea.
1:34
All of a sudden the ball just hits my tea and goes all over the place.
1:38
And they didn't even like blink.
1:41
They're like, oops.
1:42
Yeah.
1:45
Back to the game.
1:46
Pretty much.
1:47
It was pretty much.
1:48
And you know, they're usually very respectful.
1:50
Like it's usually, but they were like, Oh, I blocked your stuff or whatever.
1:53
So anyway, sweet tea.
1:55
That's that's my life mom life.
1:57
Yeah So what have you been doing you had lacrosse?
2:00
Oh, you had a story you're gonna tell me about last weekend Lord have mercy and any sports parents out there.
2:05
You've got to know what i'm talking about um, so we were at an away game and The other team was Doing some like Dylan plays lacrosse, right?
2:17
And so we're in lacrosse season So the other team was doing some illegal hits and all that dirty nasty stuff.
2:24
Yeah, me too so the refs called any little thing that our team did I mean Questionable calls, but they were letting the other team.
2:34
Oh my god, everything everything.
2:37
So one kid got pushed over He's an itty bitty little guy Um And the defender had to have been like three times as big.
2:44
And so he kept knocking this kid over, knocking this kid over.
2:47
But like where it really got me was the kids on the ground.
2:52
So the kid's on the ground and the ball is like across on the other end of the field at this point.
2:58
Cause it got like flung across to the other end.
3:01
And this kid's still hitting him with a stick on the ground and the ref like saw it and walked away.
3:06
Oh, that's just poor.
3:08
That's terrible.
3:08
I was livid and all the parents are like, and this kid's still on the ground, like two minutes later.
3:14
Right.
3:14
So, Oh God.
3:15
Is he okay?
3:16
Yeah, he was fine.
3:17
Like, but like, it was just like, That's terrible.
3:19
Like, how do you not make a call?
3:21
What makes me so mad about that kind of stuff is like, these kids just don't do that, right?
3:25
They're learning it from somewhere.
3:27
Yeah.
3:27
So, what are the coaches encouraging them to do or not do?
3:32
We've had that issue, especially in football.
3:34
Yes.
3:34
With my son being a lineman, a lot of times they'll tell them to go for their knees, and I know it's legal.
3:39
I hate it.
3:41
I hate it.
3:43
Nothing will get me riled up faster.
3:47
Well, on that note.
3:49
Um, did y'all win that game?
3:50
We did.
3:51
Good.
3:51
Oh, no, no, no.
3:52
It was tied.
3:52
Oh, tied.
3:53
Yeah, and we went into overtime and it was still tied.
3:55
Oh, so then it just stops after.
3:56
But, so, we were in overtime and Dylan, like, slipped on the grass because it was, like, just.
4:04
Yeah, just do a kind of, yeah.
4:06
And he slipped and his foot went over the 50 yard line and they, as he was falling, like sliding, and they They said that he was, um, offsides and took him out, took him and one other kid that also was sliding like bottling and what school was this?
4:21
Let me go get or what location?
4:23
No, just kidding.
4:24
I would love to know those names for sure because I would tell it.
4:33
Well, on that note, um, I have a new little gig that I'm very excited about.
4:41
So I grew up playing softball.
4:43
Like I played from like a time I was six or seven, like all the way through after high school, I played like church leagues and co ed and stuff.
4:49
And I loved it.
4:50
It was great.
4:51
So now that Jackson is older.
4:54
And I'm not as involved with, you know, helping with different organizations and that kind of thing.
4:58
I was like, I need something to do with some of my free time, other than just following him around everywhere.
5:04
So, I'm umping for softball.
5:08
I know.
5:09
So, okay, I'm just starting with like, I know, I know if you can see my face right now, so I'm starting with, like, some of the younger ones.
5:20
So, it's not going to be as intense.
5:22
Like, I really haven't even been trained on it yet.
5:24
I start this week.
5:25
It was supposed to be yesterday.
5:26
So, that's training.
5:27
Right.
5:27
I go to a game with another guy and he shows me what to do.
5:31
It's on the job training.
5:32
So, you don't have to take a class or anything like that.
5:34
No, not for this level.
5:35
Okay.
5:35
Not for, I think it's eight and under.
5:37
Um, and I think I sound like I know exactly what I'm talking about, right?
5:43
So, I think it's just like where they get pitches and I just count the pitches and they get 7 if they hit it.
5:48
They're good.
5:48
If they don't, then they're out.
5:50
So, I think I just have to count, which I think I can do that.
5:56
Um, so we'll see, I don't know.
5:58
So that starts this week.
5:59
So I'll have to give you an update next week.
6:04
My son is like, mama, I'm like, it's going to be great.
6:07
And, um, he was like, no, you're just doing that.
6:10
I was like, yeah, but you know, I'm going to be extra.
6:12
Like, I'm not just going to say I'm out there.
6:13
I was like, you know, I'm going to like, It was like, oh God.
6:19
So yeah, pretty much like we're not even doing else.
6:23
So, um, Oh, I love to let you know.
6:26
Girl, you are brave.
6:27
Yeah.
6:28
There are some mean parents.
6:31
I hope I don't cry.
6:32
I hope it's just, oh my gosh, I hope it's just an easy, not easy, like I don't mind doing the things, but I hope it's like just You know what I'm saying?
6:41
Not ugly.
6:43
Right.
6:43
Yeah.
6:44
Right.
6:44
No nasty people.
6:45
Nobody's cussing at me or throwing things at me.
6:47
I'm hoping that it's just like, I could, will they throw things?
6:51
I don't know.
6:51
But now I'm starting to get nervous because I was like, I got this.
6:55
I'm just going to wear a little blue shirt and stand right there and count.
6:58
And now I'm like, Oh my God.
7:01
Yeah.
7:02
I'm regretting like all my decisions now.
7:05
I did not mean that.
7:06
I just, I, I, I want to keep me updated.
7:10
Okay.
7:11
Um, because we have witnessed some.
7:14
I know.
7:16
Well, and I've honestly, I've been a little feisty with some refs before myself.
7:21
Never like to never cussing or, but I've been a little loud.
7:25
Yeah.
7:26
So I've told the refs.
7:28
He needed to retire the one of the refs in our area that that really should retire.
7:35
We can host the retirement party here on the podcast.
7:39
Just kidding.
7:39
Yes.
7:39
No rest.
7:40
What am I thinking?
7:44
I feel like I need to start putting all my decisions by, you know, um, no, I think, you know what I, I may come in and watch and podcast from the game.
7:54
Oh, a live ep?
7:56
Ooh, Mic Me Up?
7:57
Yeah.
7:59
So, have you ever watched, um, the Savannah Banana?
8:02
Oh my God, I love them.
8:04
I'm going to be like that aunt who's out there dancing and stuff.
8:06
Yeah, that's going to be me.
8:07
That's what I'm imagining.
8:07
Or, or I'm going to be crying because everybody's just so hateful.
8:11
I put like, um, earbuds in my ears and just like.
8:14
Oh yeah, and just count?
8:15
And yeah.
8:15
Yeah.
8:15
Yeah.
8:15
Yeah, I would have to put like something to block out everything.
8:20
I'll listen to us.
8:22
My ADHD would be like, uh, we'll see how it goes.
8:27
We'll see how it goes.
8:28
I'm excited to keep us updated.
8:29
Absolutely.
8:30
I would love to hear that.
8:32
Okay.
8:34
So, um, what else are we going to talk about?
8:36
Oh, what are you reading?
8:37
Oh, so did you read?
8:38
I did.
8:39
I finished, um, the seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo.
8:44
Yeah.
8:45
Which was phenomenal.
8:47
Um, Taylor Jenkins read is the author.
8:50
Yes.
8:50
And I've read other books that she has written.
8:52
So when we hadn't quickly mentioned it between us last week, I was like, I've got to read this book.
8:58
Yeah.
8:59
What did you think about it?
9:00
I loved every minute of that book, because I felt like it was unpredictable.
9:06
Um, it kept me guessing, like, what is going to happen next?
9:10
And then it got me thinking about, like.
9:13
Old Hollywood and all of the pieces that, you know, how much of this could have really happened and how much was true because it's loosely based on Elizabeth Taylor.
9:21
Yes.
9:21
Um, I mean, who knows?
9:23
Um, she was gorgeous.
9:25
She was beautiful.
9:25
Purple eyes, violet eyes.
9:27
Um, so it I love I thought it was a good read.
9:31
I could have read like another thousand pages of her story.
9:36
So did you hear they're making this into a Netflix movie?
9:39
No, but I want them to make it into a miniseries where right.
9:44
Okay.
9:44
So the book is based off of this, like this old movie star, like a starlet.
9:49
Yeah.
9:50
Um, she was married seven times.
9:52
And so each of these sections of this book is based off of one of her marriages.
9:55
Yes.
9:55
And I think, you know, like how they did, um, uh, 13 reasons why.
10:00
Yeah.
10:00
I want them to do that for this is seven.
10:03
Yes.
10:03
Now, one thing that I really liked about that book itself was that the Lady Monique interviewing Miss Hugo had her own sub story going on and how the interviews with Miss Hugo and everything that she had gone through or let's call her Evelyn because we're friends like that.
10:19
Yes, we are.
10:19
We got on that level.
10:20
Yes.
10:21
Second chapter.
10:22
But it gave her all the, the, you know, some, you know, Power and some confidence and, and all that kind of stuff to, um, you know, get through some things she was going through.
10:31
And then I loved at the end of the book, no spoilers, but how, um, Things just kind of connected connected because I felt like everything was like two paths And then all of a sudden it was just and everything was together Well, I also thought it was really cool that they touched on um, like cultural issues right back then, right?
10:51
Oh, yeah had to pretend she was you know, a white woman, right?
10:55
Had to bleach her hair had a right, you know bleach her teeth She had a you know, put on this whole facade just to get um bigger movie roles and even later in the book There was another issue where it was You know, a racial thing and, um, where things had.
11:09
Quote had to happen to help protect this, that, and the other.
11:12
And I was like, dang.
11:14
Yeah.
11:14
So it's still like, it's a, it's a, it was relevant.
11:17
It's still to this day.
11:18
Yeah.
11:18
I thought it was really, um, you know, that was insightful for me to, to see that part of it too.
11:23
Yes, absolutely.
11:24
Um, the struggles that she went through.
11:26
What did you picture?
11:27
She looked like, I was picturing like Marilyn Monroe.
11:29
No, I don't know what I was picturing.
11:31
Um, like a JLo, like a Jennifer Lopez, you know, cause she was, she was Hispanic, right?
11:37
Cuban, Cuban.
11:38
Yeah.
11:38
Um, and so I just had like a JLo vibe going on.
11:42
Yeah.
11:43
I don't know why, but that's what I envisioned.
11:44
Yeah.
11:45
I just pictured her like the statuesque, if that's how you say that word, but just this beautiful, Carries herself well, and even those apart in the book, where it was near the beginning when they're meeting each other and the interviews happening and Evelyn carries Monique her interviewers, like her tea for her.
12:05
And I was just like.
12:07
So she's got, you know, she's got the physical stuff going on, but that's just grace, you know, just that moment of here.
12:13
Let me help you out.
12:14
Cut.
12:14
I thought I'd like to emulate that.
12:16
You know what I mean?
12:16
Yeah.
12:17
To help people feel comfortable kind of thing.
12:19
Those traits aren't like, you don't see that much.
12:23
No, no, no, you don't.
12:25
Can you please hand me my water?
12:28
Um, no, but you know, I just, you know, Have you ever seen that saying like straighten somebody's crown without telling the whole world that it was crooked?
12:35
I love that.
12:35
Yeah, I love it.
12:36
Is my crown okay?
12:37
It's beautiful.
12:37
Oh, look at those roots.
12:39
Well, you know, it is what it is.
12:41
Um, so what was your favorite part of the book?
12:44
Oh, God.
12:45
Or like what stands out or maybe not even favorite, but what hits you really hard?
12:50
Um, the, that she had to hide so much of her, um, personality.
12:56
Well, just her personal life.
12:57
I mean, she was, um, you know, abused by husband.
13:00
Yeah.
13:00
And, um, just the, the amount that she went through.
13:04
Mm hmm.
13:05
And, um.
13:05
Um, and that's, that's, uh, like, you don't know what's going on in somebody's life, you know, she, you know, portrayed herself as flawless.
13:14
My life is perfect.
13:15
Right.
13:16
Um, and what you don't see behind closed doors makes the person very much presented.
13:21
Everything was together.
13:22
No hint of whatever abuse or other things that were going on in the background.
13:27
So I appreciated her struggle that she shared.
13:29
Yeah, I think the most.
13:30
Yeah.
13:31
I get that.
13:32
What did you think?
13:33
Um, I thought.
13:37
I don't know, let me come back to it.
13:38
Okay.
13:39
Did you listen to this or did you read it?
13:41
Both.
13:41
Okay.
13:42
So I read it 1st and then I listened to it on the podcast you recommended and with just a quick recap.
13:48
Yeah.
13:50
Yeah.
13:50
I liked that too.
13:52
So I listened to, um, did you listen to it first?
13:55
Well, I listened to baking a murder first.
13:57
Oh yeah.
13:57
That's it.
13:57
Sorry.
13:58
So just a quick, so that's another podcast that I listened to and they do like a recap of all these books.
14:03
And as a book lover, um, I absolutely adore listening to this podcast.
14:10
So after we had discussed it and I said, Hey, I just listened to this podcast, we're talking about this book.
14:14
I went and.
14:15
Got the audiobook on Libby.
14:17
Yeah, and I listened to a ton.
14:19
If y'all aren't part of Libby yet, check it out.
14:22
It is so simple.
14:23
It is so easy.
14:23
So yeah, it's a little app and then you just hook your library card to it and you get audiobooks for free.
14:29
Can you get regular books on there too?
14:30
Yeah.
14:30
Yeah.
14:31
Um, yeah, any ebooks?
14:32
And I mean, there's a ton, ton to choose from.
14:34
Not everything's on there, but there's enough to get you through a long time.
14:37
And they add new stuff every week.
14:39
Yeah, there's new options on there.
14:41
So cool.
14:42
Awesome resource.
14:43
If you'd like to listen to audio books.
14:46
So much cheaper.
14:46
Absolutely.
14:47
Absolutely.
14:49
So you listened to it.
14:50
Yeah.
14:51
What'd you think?
14:51
Um, I loved it.
14:52
Um, but you know, sometimes I, the, the girl that did the audio book was wonderful.
14:57
Like, you know, I thought it was done great.
15:00
Sometimes the audio book can ruin the book for me.
15:03
The voice or just the way they come across.
15:04
Yeah.
15:05
It's I can get like a chapter and I'm like, I can't do this.
15:08
And the book might be wonderful.
15:09
And so that's the only drawback, I guess, of being on audio.
15:12
Yeah.
15:13
Um, but, uh, it was.
15:15
You know, I thought it was done wonderfully.
15:18
I love the way that every chapter was named, like you said, after the husband, but it wasn't just like, this one's about Frank or whatever.
15:25
It was like a, you know, preface to whatever Frank was so like, I don't know, stupid Frank or I don't even remember what they were, but it was catchy.
15:33
Yeah.
15:34
Yeah.
15:34
So I am so looking forward to this movie.
15:37
Who do you think that they should cast?
15:40
Well, now that you said J Lo, but she, so the book is her being retrospective.
15:46
So she's looking back over her entire life and she's what like 70 or 80 in the actual like present time.
15:52
So I don't know.
15:54
J Lo would be a good one.
15:55
But like I said, I was picturing like a blonde bombshell type, but I guess that can make JLo blonde.
16:01
I don't know what to think about it.
16:03
What do you got?
16:03
Anybody in particular?
16:04
I don't really know.
16:06
So for Monique, I was thinking about who you got.
16:09
Go first.
16:09
So do you watch Grey's Anatomy?
16:11
Yeah.
16:11
Do you know, um, Maggie?
16:13
I think she'd be a good, she would be a good one.
16:16
So Monique, who is the interviewer, she's biracial.
16:21
Um, so I think that a good one would be, from Grey's Anatomy, Maggie.
16:27
Yeah, I think that would be great too.
16:28
Yeah.
16:29
What's that girl, um, Zendaya?
16:32
I think that's her name.
16:33
Um, she, she was in Spider Man.
16:35
Oh yeah.
16:36
I think she would be good too.
16:37
Yeah.
16:38
As Monique.
16:39
There, are there enough men in Hollywood to play all of her husbands?
16:45
I'm sure there are.
16:46
Not for a Netflix movie.
16:47
I mean, there's plenty of guys that are trying to be actors for a Netflix movie.
16:54
I could find somebody.
16:55
I don't know if they're going to get like, uh, um.
16:59
Like a George Clooney or anything like that.
17:01
Right, right.
17:02
We'll see, we'll see.
17:04
Oh, is that like a Channing Tatum?
17:07
Oh, I was picturing the dude from, um, This Is Us 2.
17:11
Oh, yeah.
17:11
That would be good.
17:12
For Harry.
17:13
Uh huh.
17:14
But in my mind, Harry was fat.
17:16
But I know he wasn't, I don't even know, but, you know, sometimes you do that, like you picture him and then it's like, when you actually see it, like the movie when it's like, what?
17:24
Yeah, absolutely.
17:25
But I have to read a book before I watch the movie.
17:27
Definitely.
17:27
Because the book is always better.
17:30
It's better.
17:30
So I'm super excited about this.
17:32
Yeah, but they say when it's coming out, they didn't even like, I think they're starting to cast it.
17:36
Now, from what I read, are they going to ask us for a recommendation?
17:39
Probably not.
17:40
Well, if you're watching this, our recommendations are Netflix.
17:46
All right.
17:46
Um, so yeah, that's my take on, on the book.
17:49
I think I loved it 100%.
17:51
I would read it again.
17:52
Yeah, absolutely.
17:53
Absolutely.
17:54
I liked it too.
17:54
I liked it a lot.
17:55
I felt like there was a lot of stuff in there that was still, like we said, it's still relevant.
17:59
Um, it was enlightening.
18:02
And it was a good read.
18:03
It was an easy read.
18:03
It was a fun read.
18:04
It was an emotional read though.
18:06
Very.
18:07
Um, yeah, 10.
18:09
I give it a 10.
18:10
I give it a 10 too.
18:11
Okay, cool.
18:12
What are you reading next?
18:13
Um, well, so I always on the side got something I'm reading that's like fluff that I can read to fall asleep.
18:18
So I'm still reading this.
18:19
I love a series and right now I'm reading like this series that was like, um, I don't, I'll have to look up the name for you, but it's like a cast off of another series that was another series kind of like, so it's like 27 books, which I love.
18:32
No, it's probably not that many.
18:34
But I think this one is called, now don't judge me by this, but I think it's called like the Elemental Witch is the name of it.
18:40
Um, and I'll look up who it's by, but it's, um, like I said, just it's fluff.
18:45
It's easy reads.
18:46
It's, I don't have to think about what I'm getting next.
18:48
I can just kind of download the next one and keep moving forward.
18:51
If it's in the middle of the night and I can't sleep, then I don't have to really think about what to read next.
18:55
But, um, we do need to think about something to read for this though.
18:58
Yeah.
18:58
You got any recommendations right now?
18:59
Um, Should we do like a fun book or should we do like a, uh, a helping book?
19:07
I don't need any help right now.
19:09
I'm perfect just the way I am.
19:10
Well, you know, me too, but we can, we can think about it and come back to that.
19:15
Yeah.
19:15
Let me see what I have on my shelf.
19:17
Um, I do have a couple that I'm supposed to be reading for, um, a book club I'm in.
19:22
Well, let's come back to this.
19:23
I think, okay.
19:24
Okay.
19:24
We'll, we'll announce our next book next week.
19:27
Perfect.
19:27
Okay.
19:28
But that is, if y'all haven't read it, go try it out.
19:31
Yeah.
19:32
That's really good.
19:33
Really, really good.
19:33
Yeah.
19:34
And do Libby.
19:35
Yeah, for sure.
19:36
Same stuff.
19:37
Lots of money.
19:37
Yeah.
19:38
Cool.
19:38
Because I have subscriptions to Audible and I have unlimited.
19:44
Whatever is like X amount and you only get like one book or two books.
19:47
I mean, I do that in a day and a half.
19:49
So anyway, I know.
19:52
But yeah, And it's what it is is what it is.
19:54
What's next?
19:55
Yeah.
19:56
You want to talk about our dumb crook story?
19:57
Yes.
19:58
Okay.
19:59
Um, what do you want to read it?
20:01
Oh, so we decided that we're going to do a dumb crook from every state.
20:05
So we're starting with South Carolina because that's where we live, but we will be hitting all of your states.
20:11
Yes.
20:12
And if you know of a dumb crime, let us know.
20:14
Please let us know.
20:15
Please let us know.
20:16
And I think what we said, too, is we're going to each bring a story and present it and get each other's reaction off of it.
20:22
Yeah.
20:23
Well, we're just got one story for today.
20:24
One story for today to get started.
20:26
Yeah.
20:26
So we did some research on good old South Carolina.
20:29
Well, you know.
20:30
Yeah, we got some, we didn't have to dig far.
20:34
It was like pop up.
20:35
Yeah.
20:36
Yes.
20:37
Yeah.
20:38
Um, what do you want to read it?
20:41
Go ahead.
20:42
Oh lord, I didn't bring my reading glasses.
20:43
I'm just kidding.
20:44
I got it.
20:44
Okay.
20:45
So the article says This was in Hartsville, South Carolina, and this was a few years ago From WBTV is our source a 59 year old man who tried to rob a bank while he was a passenger in a taxi He's going to spend six years in prison.
20:59
All right, here's what he did He was charged with taking a taxi in 2021 to a Hartsville bank And telling the driver to go through drive thru lane, then he placed the envelope containing a handwritten note Demanding money into the tube.
21:14
The note said he would kill people or blow up the bank if his demands were not met.
21:18
And the teller just like activated the alarm and the police found the taxi and he was arrested.
21:24
The driver was not involved.
21:27
So I've got a lot of thoughts.
21:29
What's your first thought?
21:31
And then i'll tell you mine.
21:32
Could you imagine being the taxi driver?
21:34
Okay.
21:35
Yeah, like and then your your car is like surrounded by police.
21:38
Like i'm just envisioning like this, right?
21:40
You It's like, dude, just trying to work his job.
21:44
Right.
21:44
Oh yeah.
21:46
Oh my God.
21:46
Yeah.
21:47
I, I would die.
21:48
I know, I would, I don't know what I would do.
21:50
My first thought is this teller, like, what did her face look like?
21:55
She's standing there and this note comes through, like, I just picture like she's having kind of a crappy day and she's not taking anybody's junk, and all of a sudden this comes through and she gives him this look like, mm.
22:05
And she just like, hits the button and calls the cop, like, and then Ducks Yeah.
22:10
She probably is gonna do that.
22:11
But you know, with all that's going on, but what's the.
22:13
Taxi driver's just sitting there like this, the taxi dude banging on the steering wheel, And then, and then he's like, dude, like what's, you know, why is this taking so long?
22:20
Right?
22:20
What?
22:20
Right.
22:21
Many.
22:21
The dude's like drive, drive, drive.
22:23
Like, I want, I want, I need more information.
22:25
I want a camera inside the taxi.
22:26
Right.
22:26
You're right, you're right.
22:27
Okay.
22:27
So he passes the note.
22:28
She hits the thing, and then what's happened?
22:30
Like, he's like, you didn't get your money, dude.
22:32
What are we doing here?
22:33
And he is like, go, go.
22:34
Like, you're right.
22:35
We might need to dig into that a little bit further.
22:37
I'm just like this.
22:38
A lot of information.
22:38
Yeah.
22:39
Dude is an idiot.
22:42
That's why they're called dumb crooks.
22:43
And he was old too.
22:44
He was 59.
22:45
He knows better.
22:46
He should.
22:46
No, but you know.
22:47
Well, he knew, he knew enough to plead guilty.
22:50
Um, so he's sentenced to 72 years in federal.
22:54
prison and then he'll have some court ordered supervision after that.
22:58
Probably no more taxis.
22:59
Decent.
23:01
And then, like, my other question is, there's still taxis?
23:03
It's not like just like Uber?
23:04
Wait, wait, wait.
23:05
You're right.
23:06
In Hartsville, South, have you been, you've been through Hartsville.
23:09
I don't know.
23:10
You've been to Myrtle Beach.
23:11
Like, on the way to the beach, like, you go through Hartsville.
23:13
Like, it's not this big metropolis.
23:15
No.
23:15
It's probably like Clover.
23:16
It'd be like seeing a Like legit taxi in Clover?
23:20
No.
23:21
Oh, my God, where did he get the taxi?
23:23
That's what I'm saying, like, is it an Uber?
23:24
Is it a, like, what kind, like, is it, what is it?
23:29
I have more questions now.
23:31
I, I, does he have a taxi?
23:33
Like, the taxi sign on top of his car?
23:34
I'm picturing a big yellow car with the taxi sign on top.
23:37
Yeah.
23:37
With the number like 3333333 on the side.
23:42
Oh, my gosh.
23:44
Oh, my gosh.
23:45
I got so many questions.
23:46
Me too.
23:46
We'll probably never know the answers.
23:47
No, but I would love the interview.
23:49
I would ask with a taxi driver.
23:51
Like, he's like, what?
23:52
Mr.
23:53
Taxi driver, if you happen to be listening to This Is My Circus podcast, please reach out and let us know.
23:58
So we want to know your monkeys.
24:00
Yeah.
24:01
They, but they are not your monkeys.
24:03
You're not responsible.
24:04
No, but I mean, I want to know about your circus.
24:07
Do you have a video?
24:08
Yeah.
24:09
Was there a dash cam?
24:10
Please tell us.
24:11
Or something?
24:12
Have you been interviewed?
24:14
And we need to, we need all of this.
24:16
Yes.
24:16
Okay.
24:17
Well, until we find out more on that one.
24:20
So we're moving on.
24:22
We're moving on.
24:22
And we're going to bring more stories like that, we said, throughout, um, the country.
24:26
So stay tuned for who's coming next.
24:28
Maybe it's one of your relatives.
24:30
Maybe.
24:32
Maybe.
24:33
And if you have a dumb relative, let us know.
24:35
Maybe that should be a different segment, dumb relatives.
24:39
That's funny.
24:40
Well, when, um, okay, switching gears, when I was looking this, you know, trying to dig into some dumb criminal stuff, I saw about this airplane missing.
24:48
Oh, yeah.
24:49
I don't know much about it.
24:50
I just read the headline and it's like.
24:52
How does an airplane go missing?
24:54
Do you have more info than just that?
24:55
I only, and it might not even be the same one.
24:58
Okay.
24:58
Like we might have, how can there be more than one missing?
25:01
There's lots of missing.
25:02
They disappear.
25:03
They're big.
25:04
Okay.
25:05
Yeah.
25:05
Okay.
25:06
So tell me what you know.
25:07
I don't really know a whole lot, which we maybe we'll, we'll hit on this in the next episode.
25:11
We'll, we'll do a little research, but I saw a video on Facebook, super, super reliable.
25:18
This is real.
25:19
But you know, like how you just get sucked into those stupid reels, like, and keep scrolling through the videos.
25:24
And so this dude said that there was a airplane that left the United States and, like, disappeared into, like, thin air.
25:32
And Like, I don't know, 5, 10 years later, um, there's a call over the radio of a airport that they were checking for clearance to land.
25:43
And then they were like, wait, what year is it?
25:46
And they said, it's whatever 2000.
25:48
yeah, whatever 20, whatever year it was and they.
25:53
They just like took back off like they never landed.
25:55
They just went like back into like the atmosphere.
25:58
La La Land, wherever they But yeah, it's like they disappeared.
26:04
Is this true?
26:04
I don't know.
26:06
So, you know, there was a show a couple years ago called Manifest.
26:09
Yes.
26:09
Yes.
26:10
Yeah But like this was like somebody doing like a like a legit like okay, well, that's exactly what this well It was like a true crime channel on Facebook Wow.
26:20
Wow.
26:20
Well, like all these shows, right?
26:22
Like they've got to come from somewhere.
26:23
Have you heard about, um, Tyler Doyle?
26:26
Have you followed that any?
26:27
We, um, I've been following that a little bit.
26:29
So that's this guy in, um, gosh, I think he's from South Carolina, but South Carolina episode, y'all.
26:36
I'm just kidding.
26:37
You're making us so proud.
26:37
I know.
26:38
Well, but he went missing off the coast of South Carolina while he was duck hunting, I think.
26:44
This was maybe like a month ago or even more.
26:46
Leave those poor ducks alone.
26:48
Well, there was so much conspiracy about it.
26:54
You know, why was he by himself and why didn't he call or whatever?
26:58
But anyway, he went missing and they couldn't find anything.
27:00
And then like, Two days later and my timeline is wrong.
27:02
So please don't whatever don't come at me for that But like they found his waiters and then the duck decoys and all this but as far as I know They never found him and it's people are like it's his baby mama or wife or whatever.
27:15
I don't know again Don't don't at me.
27:17
But um, but I was all sucked into that for a little bit like Where is he?
27:22
And then, of course, all the social media pages that are like, where is Tyler Doyle?
27:26
And whatever.
27:27
So, I just hope that Is this like super recent?
27:29
This was like, yeah, like within the past couple of months.
27:32
So, I don't know.
27:33
I don't know about that, but I hope he's safe, and if he's gone from this earth, I hope it was peaceful.
27:44
And let's save the ducks.
27:46
Let's save the ducks.
27:47
Oh my gosh, so, when I was in high school, right, in art science class, speaking of ducks, We had to hatch chickens and ducks.
27:55
And so my, the other class got chickens and my class got ducks.
27:58
And if our parents signed off on it, we were allowed to keep whatever hatched.
28:02
So I talked my dad into letting me keep this duck.
28:05
Because I was like, ducks were like my favorite animal ever.
28:08
And my best friend was in the chicken class.
28:12
So we get to school after like a couple of weeks, like of the incubator, Yeah, since our teacher forgot to put water in the incubator over the weekend and killed all of our ducks.
28:24
Like not one duck hatched.
28:25
That is traumatizing.
28:26
Right?
28:27
And like, so I'm like, what the heck, you know, like super.
28:30
So did it like just, was it just straight heat then?
28:33
Is that what happened?
28:33
And it like cooked the ducks and the eggs.
28:35
Like it was awful, but the chickens, chickens lived.
28:39
And so my best friend, Alicia, Hey girl, hope you're listening.
28:43
Um, Hey Alicia.
28:45
They got chickens and she had to, and so then she made, she felt bad.
28:49
My duck died, and so she made me the chicken's godmother.
28:53
Awww, that's adorable! And then the chicken grew and got mean, and so she brought it to a farm.
29:01
To where he lived happily ever after.
29:03
To live out his roostery mean life.
29:07
Yeah, roosters can be mean.
29:09
Is awesome.
29:10
So she also had a snapping turtle and that snapping turtle used to watch us sleeping.
29:13
It was like a, it was our Mr.
29:15
Snappy was our stalker.
29:18
Real creative with the name.
29:19
What was the chicken's name?
29:20
Um, God, I can't even remember.
29:22
She should have named the chicken duck.
29:24
Oh, that would have been good.
29:26
It would have been sad though.
29:27
Every time.
29:27
Oh yeah.
29:28
You're right.
29:28
You're right.
29:29
So I would have been a little sad.
29:30
That's traumatizing though.
29:31
How were you like high school?
29:33
Yeah.
29:33
It was like junior year.
29:35
Yeah, no, we, when I was in I don't remember what grade, but before high school, went to a field trip to a chicken farm.
29:45
And now in retrospect, those chickens are miserable.
29:50
They're all just like crowded in.
29:52
Is that the right word?
29:53
Chicken farm?
29:54
I don't know.
29:54
Where they've got them all in like a greenhouse looking thing.
29:57
I guess it's a chicken coop.
29:59
I don't know, but, but they were all just like right on top of each other.
30:04
And it was, I mean, it is what it is, whatever.
30:07
I mean, did you see like the place across the street from my neighborhood that has like the alpacas and goats and it's like this whole little tiny farm?
30:16
No.
30:16
And I told Dylan, I'm like, I want to pet an alpaca so bad.
30:19
And I was like, I'm like, that's the thing I'm going to get arrested for.
30:22
Like, it's like pulling over to the side and jumping over the fence.
30:27
Are they mean?
30:28
I don't know.
30:28
I mean, I don't know, but I, I, it reminds me of llamas and Dylan's favorite book when he was a baby was llama, llama, red pajama.
30:35
And yeah, I'm like, I need to, for some reason I'm thinking like they're related to camels and camels can be mean.
30:42
Camels are very like they spit it and they spit it.
30:45
Yeah.
30:45
What else you want to talk about?
30:46
Did you go to the St.
30:47
Patrick's Day thing yesterday?
30:48
I did not.
30:48
I was um, so.
30:51
Brandon said that if I can get the shed cleaned out, that we can convert it into a office slash studio for us.
31:00
And so I spent my day.
31:02
Do I need to come over and help sometime?
31:03
Oh, we can decorate.
31:04
Okay.
31:04
We can do like a target run.
31:08
But, um, so we spent all day trying to get everything out of there and box it up.
31:12
to ship.
31:13
Whoa.
31:14
So that was my whole day yesterday.
31:16
Oh, are you sore?
31:17
No.
31:17
Um, I'm just glad it's over and it's one step closer to having our like Studio, super fun, girly space.
31:26
Yeah.
31:27
Not that I'm like super girly, right?
31:29
But I don't want like, Nerf guns on the wall.
31:32
which is Dylan's whole Nerf collection is out there.
31:35
Is it?
31:35
And on the wall we can just hang like a, a sheet up and cover it all up.
31:39
Um, and I have like a, a mini fridge out there with beverages.
31:45
mini fridges are nice though.
31:47
Mini fridges are great.
31:48
I always tell Brian I want one in my nightstand.
31:50
Oh.
31:50
And he's like.
31:52
So our master bedroom is downstairs and he's like, it's 30 feet to the kitchen.
31:57
You can get up and go get something to drink.
31:58
I'm like, you don't understand.
32:00
It's just a point right there covered in like wood, like, you know, the fridges that are kind of inset, whatever.
32:06
It's a great idea.
32:07
Tim don't take it unless it already exists and then I'm not meaning to copyright you.
32:12
Um, so we went to the St.
32:13
Patrick's day thing yesterday since my umpiring gig got canceled cause it rained.
32:18
whatever.
32:19
Um, it was pretty fun.
32:21
It was fun.
32:21
I mean, it was windy and cold and then sunny, you know, this time of year, it's like whatever you get, but it was fun.
32:27
Yes.
32:28
Mother nature.
32:29
Uh, yeah.
32:30
She needs to pick a lane, figure it out.
32:33
Yeah.
32:33
But then like Friday, it's supposed to be 81 here.
32:35
I think.
32:36
Yeah.
32:36
I'm not ready for it to get too hot, but I'm ready for.
32:38
Like 70.
32:39
I want 70.
32:40
Consistent 70.
32:41
I'm down.
32:42
With a little breeze, not wind.
32:44
Yeah, absolutely.
32:45
Well, so we were there for, gosh, like four or five hours yesterday.
32:49
I'm so out of shape.
32:51
Like, I was so, I got up, so we went, we walked around, we did all things, had a good time, saw a ton of people I knew, which was great.
32:57
So much fun.
32:57
I like to do that.
32:58
Brian's always like, are you politicking?
33:00
And I'm like, no, I'm just talking to people, which I like to do.
33:02
So I don't see everybody very often, but you usually don't let me have that.
33:07
So I was, um, I got out of the truck when we got home.
33:11
I could like barely walk.
33:13
No, I did wear these shoes because it was kind of yucky in the morning.
33:16
So I wore some shoes that were kind of rain bootish.
33:18
They weren't like great and I was like, I was like, are you okay?
33:20
And I was like, I don't think so.
33:23
I'm sore from walking around in these rain boots.
33:26
I'm like, oh gosh.
33:27
But anyway, I think I need to start walking some more.
33:30
Well, I, um, take recs.
33:33
Like, I think it totals out to be almost four miles a day.
33:36
Good for you.
33:37
So it's like one walk in the morning, one walk in the afternoon.
33:39
You have a great area to walk though.
33:41
People in this neighborhood drive like, crazy, like in the lawnmowers.
33:47
You got to dodge the lawnmowers.
33:48
I mean, there's a lot going on.
33:49
So we've got the lawnmower riders.
33:51
We've got the kids on like their motor, whatever is their four wheelers, their bikes, mini bikes, whatever that like, I'm a motorized scooter.
33:58
Do you?
33:59
I do.
33:59
Ooh, like when you stand up on and run.
34:01
Have you ever tried to ride a hoverboard?
34:03
No, have you?
34:04
I haven't.
34:04
It didn't go well.
34:08
Have you ever seen those, um, videos on Facebook where people are like flailing their arms?
34:12
Was that you?
34:13
That was totally me.
34:13
Oh my gosh.
34:14
I'm not good at that at all.
34:15
So, there's a lot going on in the neighborhood when you walk?
34:17
Yeah.
34:18
And like, so you got like, you know, all these kids and, you know, other people walking, you know, and How dare they?
34:23
No, but I'm just kidding.
34:24
There's this dude, and I hope he hears us because he's a butt head, but He's got like two, like, bigger, mean looking dogs, like, that are very aggressive towards anyone and everything, and like, dude isn't a big guy, like, he's not, uh, like a big guy, like, burly, whatever.
34:42
So these dogs, anytime they see a child, they see another person, they see another dog, they go bananas, and like, and barking and like, and then, so this one is super protective of me.
34:54
Um, and he doesn't, well, he was like, then he starts going and not, you know, he's a hundred and.
35:00
five, 10 pounds.
35:02
Yeah.
35:02
And so I'm, you know, trying to get pulling in bed, but this guy, and he just like laughs, like he thinks it's funny.
35:08
And all my dude, like somebody's going to get hurt someday.
35:10
That's what he's like.
35:11
The dogs lunge at like kids on bicycles.
35:13
That's not cool.
35:14
It's dude, that's not cool.
35:16
Don't do that with your dogs anymore.
35:18
You should not walk your dogs right in the public place.
35:23
My two cents.
35:24
Get him some home training.
35:25
Like my, like my, my, my puppy.
35:28
Well, he's not puppies almost too.
35:30
I know he's terrible.
35:31
So I just don't let him do too much.
35:34
Yeah.
35:35
You gotta know your limits.
35:36
Yeah.
35:36
Um, so the St.
35:38
Patrick's Day thing was fun.
35:39
I am not sore anymore.
35:41
I've recovered.
35:42
Um, but we hung out with some new friends that we're kind of making.
35:46
So that's, you know, your friend circle is like this for you probably.
35:50
Cause that's how we met.
35:51
It's like through your kids, right?
35:53
It's other, whatever your kids are into, it's their parents and outside parents, friends that are not like related to sports in some way.
36:02
Um, so this is, um, some friends we've been hanging out with and they're a lot of fun.
36:07
Um, but you know, it's just hard to make friends as an adult.
36:10
Yeah.
36:10
Yeah.
36:11
It's so hard.
36:12
Yeah.
36:13
And like, I, I hate to say this, but like, don't you feel like ever since like COVID, like people have, I don't know, people have gotten like mean and I don't know.
36:23
I just, I, I've not, I'm not a people person.
36:26
Yeah.
36:27
Well, I feel like, and you're right, that might be the timeline since that point, like everything is.
36:32
And maybe it's just me getting older.
36:34
I feel like everything is political and or everything is about, you know, nothing is just, I don't even know how to say it.
36:42
And maybe that's it.
36:43
Like when you're a kid and you make friends, you're like, Hey, you want to play tag?
36:46
And they say yes.
36:46
And you run like, that's it.
36:48
And now it's like, well, you know, I don't like them because of this or I can't vibe with them because they believe this.
36:54
Yeah.
36:56
Let's just have friends.
36:57
So this is, so, and I don't know, like, I've never, like, when we were in, in, in middle school, we didn't talk about politics.
37:06
Like we didn't know, like we have like a movie, like, you know, in school lecture, like whatever, like, but nobody knew anything about politics.
37:13
And Dylan came home, um, during like the last election.
37:16
And he like said that like his friends are arguing, friends are arguing.
37:19
And I'm like, dude, like, why do you, like, why are you even like talking about like, like Do you not have other things to talk about?
37:26
And so my advice to Dylan was we, you don't talk religion, you don't talk politics and you don't talk about Santa Claus.
37:34
Yeah.
37:34
Those are three topics that you don't, you don't.
37:38
I would add to that also don't talk about money.
37:40
Either way it goes, whether you have it or you don't.
37:45
But I agree.
37:46
Like I remember being in high school and you, you know, you learn about the whatever and we did the mock.
37:51
Okay.
37:51
All you are.
37:52
This and all you guys are this and let's, you know, vote and whatever.
37:55
Yeah, and debate and all that fun stuff.
37:57
But you're right now.
37:58
It's so weird.
37:59
So, but like for kids to be arguing, like literally arguing and getting into fights about it.
38:04
And now that you say that, like my, my niece, who's a senior in high school, she, um, has actually lost some friends because of different beliefs and whatever.
38:13
And I'm like, Dude, I didn't, like, when I was in high school, all I, I shouldn't say this because Dylan might hear this one day, but like, all we were worried about was where, who's having the next party.
38:23
Right.
38:24
I mean, or, or hanging out, or where are we going, or where's the football game, or where's, I know.
38:29
There was no, like, Right, and it's like, you want them to be educated, and to be involved, and to make decisions, you know, use their brain, but at the same time, it's just part of the whole, you know, thing where everybody thinks they're right and you can't even have a conversation.
38:46
And you can't be friends with somebody that doesn't believe the same exact thing that you do.
38:49
That's crazy.
38:50
And that's why I told Dylan, I'm like, you know, like, like everybody is entitled to their opinion.
38:55
Yes.
38:55
Everybody is entitled, and you don't have to school people on their, on what your opinion is.
38:59
Like, you can just say, okay, cool, that's your opinion.
39:01
And then walk away.
39:02
Right.
39:02
There doesn't need to be a, I'm right.
39:04
You're wrong.
39:05
Like a whole conversation.
39:06
Right.
39:06
Nobody has to win every conversation.
39:08
You believe what you believe.
39:09
Right.
39:09
You can have a conversation and then just walk away and still be friends.
39:13
Yeah.
39:14
And have fun.
39:15
Yeah.
39:15
But yeah, I don't know.
39:16
So, um, it's hard, hard making friends, but it was fun yesterday with these.
39:21
Where do you even go meet new people?
39:22
Well, I don't even know.
39:25
Actually, so that could be part of my problem.
39:29
So this, these new people were hanging out.
39:31
They're already kind of like a friend group.
39:32
Yeah.
39:33
And we were kind of invited into the friend group with, um, it's Jackson's girlfriend's parents and, um, so we're hanging out with them a little bit.
39:43
And then 1 of the other people in the group knows Brian, they used to work together.
39:48
So he's got, um.
39:49
Kind of a connection because that's other thing too, right?
39:51
Finding somebody you and your husband and then your kid like oh my god Forget it.
39:56
Yeah, so, um, you know, he gets along with the dudes and I like the moms and you know the dudes are nice and you know, it's just a good mix, but I Mean, they're 13 and they're not gonna be friends for you know, they are they're not gonna be dating forever So that'll be a little awkward.
40:12
It will be a little awkward, but we'll cross that bridge when I get to it How do you feel about having a girlfriend?
40:18
I'm okay with it.
40:19
Uh, she's really adorable.
40:20
He's had a couple little girlfriends before, but nobody that I think he's really, you know, like, you know, as he's getting older, right?
40:27
Um, but she's very busy too.
40:29
She plays school soccer and competitive soccer.
40:32
Um, so, um, she's, you know, really tied up with, with that because Jackson's really busy too, and her parents are, um, they're good people, they, you know, have requirements for her grades and behavior and all that kind of stuff.
40:45
So, because she's so busy and we're so busy, it works out.
40:50
But I could see where like it's gonna be hard like I'm he's my heart, you know, it's gonna be really hard Yeah, how about does Dylan have a lady in his life right now?
40:59
He does.
41:00
Okay.
41:00
She lives in our neighborhood Oh, one street over.
41:04
Oh, that's a little too convenient She is like such a sweet girl.
41:08
Like I I really do.
41:10
That's good.
41:11
Like a nice Genuinely sweet girl.
41:13
Those are the craziest you know that.
41:15
Stop that.
41:17
But, um, you know, they, they, you know, go over, you know, and you know, uh, there's not a lot you can do when you don't have a license and you have to depend on your parents.
41:27
But she goes to his lacrosse game.
41:28
She came to the game and played.
41:30
Fort Mill.
41:31
She had her mom drive her 40 whatever minutes to go watch this game.
41:37
I know we were, Brandon was like, dang, she must really like you to drive.
41:42
But I mean, I met her mom.
41:44
Her mom's really nice.
41:45
Good.
41:45
Was Dylan like, yeah, I got that Riz and that what they say now?
41:48
I, you know, he was just like, whatever.
41:50
Yeah.
41:51
They have to do their, you know, picture for whichever social media platform they're posting on.
41:56
Yeah.
41:57
But she is so cute and yeah, she's a sweet girl, sweet girl.
42:02
Yeah, that's good.
42:03
So every night they're being a FaceTime each other every night.
42:05
I could not.
42:06
Could you imagine like always having to have, like, be ready to FaceTime somebody?
42:11
No, uh, but you know what like when I was like that age, I didn't really care.
42:14
Like, yeah, I guess you're right.
42:16
I didn't need all the things that I need now to make me presentable.
42:21
It was, I was cute without anything.
42:24
Yeah, but not anymore and I would not want to like be on all the time.
42:29
In other words, don't FaceTime us, we'll FaceTime you.
42:32
Maybe.
42:33
Maybe.
42:34
I'll just do the audio.
42:35
Yeah.
42:36
There you go.
42:39
I feel like I was going to tell you something else, but I can't think of what it is.
42:43
I don't know.
42:44
Oh, well.
42:44
It's okay.
42:45
Anything else coming up?
42:46
No.
42:47
No.
42:48
Me and Dylan are supposed to do a movie night tonight.
42:50
Are you?
42:50
What are you going to watch?
42:51
I don't really know.
42:52
I think maybe the The newest Jurassic Park that came out.
42:56
I haven't seen it yet.
42:56
He did.
42:56
But, yeah, you know, we've got, um, the projector upstairs.
43:00
Nice.
43:01
It's nothing fancy, right?
43:03
It was like Amazon.
43:04
You plug in your whatever.
43:06
And it do you have good sound up there too?
43:08
Because the sound makes it too.
43:09
Um, yeah, it's, it's not the best, but it's like, okay.
43:12
Yeah, you know, but it's, it's.
43:14
It's better than just watching a regular TV.
43:16
It's, you know, the whole entire wall.
43:17
There's always something when he turns surround sound on when it goes from like the regular TV.
43:21
Like if you're watching a game or like my husband likes racing, but the first time it clicks on and it's just like, and it's like, Oh my God, so freaking loud.
43:30
I know.
43:30
I know.
43:31
I can't say it.
43:32
So, uh, we might, if, if he doesn't ditch me to go to the field to play lacrosse, we'll have to do that later.
43:37
And you can't really complain with him wanting to get outside and, I know.
43:41
I, he's, he does.
43:42
He's, thank God.
43:44
Such a good kid.
43:45
He's got his moments.
43:48
Don't get me wrong.
43:49
We all do.
43:50
But compared to what I was doing at that age, we won't talk about those things because my mom might listen.
43:59
You better listen.
44:00
Um, so my brother and sister, you know, I was the baby.
44:04
And so they're like, you know, she never got in trouble.
44:06
And I'm like, listen, I just.
44:07
Learn from all of y'all's mistakes.
44:09
Absolutely.
44:09
And didn't get caught.
44:10
Right.
44:10
So, right.
44:11
And mom was probably exhausted by that point and was just like, she's fine.
44:15
Yeah.
44:16
How many siblings do you have?
44:17
I have two sisters and a brother.
44:19
Oh, wow.
44:19
Okay.
44:20
Yeah.
44:20
Yeah.
44:22
And I'm the baby of one sister.
44:25
So, like, Brandon and I talked about this, like, About traits of like, he's an only child.
44:30
Oh, birth older.
44:31
Yeah.
44:31
Okay.
44:31
He's an only child and I am the youngest.
44:33
Oh, yeah.
44:33
And so I had to like fight for, you know, everything.
44:35
Right.
44:36
And he's like, this is what is so wrong with you because Oh, that's the one thing.
44:42
I'm just kidding.
44:43
I'm like, well, you never had to argue with anybody'cause you were the only child.
44:46
Right.
44:46
You know, like you didn't have that like sibling, like, like to prove.
44:49
Yeah.
44:49
Or yeah.
44:49
And I had to compete against three others.
44:54
Yeah.
44:54
Yeah.
44:55
Like.
44:55
You know right when Nintendo came out and like, so we had like, you know, the Nintendo, like the original Nintendo?
45:00
Yeah.
45:01
It was like duck hunt, you know.
45:02
Oh, G guy.
45:03
Yeah.
45:03
Save the ducks.
45:07
Save the ducks, put water in the incubators.
45:12
This has been a duck shot.
45:15
What?
45:15
The duck.
45:16
So like I was never, like, I never got a turn.
45:18
'cause like by the time it was my turn, then there's like, was it bedtime or whatever?
45:21
No.
45:21
Like, they just were like, oh, well I'm gonna play again.
45:23
Like, you know, like when you're the youngest and like you're like.
45:25
Like, you don't get a say, so that Christmas, well, the Christmas that game boy came out, I got a game boy and my mom was like, she doesn't have to share with any of you.
45:35
Oh, that was sweet.
45:37
That was a good idea.
45:38
That was a sweet idea.
45:40
So, you know, like, if you had to take a road trip, I'm just back there playing.
45:42
You're back there playing.
45:44
You know, black and white screen.
45:46
Oh, God.
45:46
And now it's like, pick up your phone and do whatever.
45:49
So, yeah, you showed them though.
45:51
I did.
45:51
Game boy.
45:52
Yep.
45:54
Dang siblings.
45:56
I love all of you.
45:56
We love you though.
45:58
We love you.
45:58
Now.
45:59
Now.
46:00
Yeah.
46:00
More now than then.
46:01
Yes.
46:02
I mean, I love them too then, but they were just, they weren't very nice.
46:04
I loved them, but didn't like.
46:05
Yeah.
46:06
Sometimes.
46:07
Yeah.
46:07
That's still her clothes.
46:09
We have trauma from that.
46:12
Brandon gets so mad if like anybody wears his socks.
46:14
You know, like, like he never had to share anything.
46:16
And I'm like, dude, like clothes would be missing for like months.
46:20
Like my sister would lend them out to her.
46:21
Like we were all the same size, like pretty much.
46:24
And so like, we would be missing clothes for months.
46:26
And then they all of a sudden they would just like reappear.
46:28
So like, I have no like issues.
46:30
Like if I can't find something, I'm like, Oh, whatever.
46:33
And he's like, oh my god.
46:34
Oh my.
46:34
That's funny.
46:35
Yeah.
46:35
That's funny.
46:36
The dynamics of an only child versus I could see that.
46:39
Siblings, I could see that.
46:40
Well, I am the baby.
46:43
Brian is the oldest of his siblings, and then Jackson isn't only, so I don't even know where to go with that.
46:49
I don't even know where to go with that.
46:51
So best of luck to us.
46:52
Yeah.
46:54
Well, anything else?
46:55
I think that's all that's going on with me.
46:57
Um, next week we will have a new book to talk about.
47:01
We will have a new book to talk about.
47:02
We will have a great new story.
47:05
Yes.
47:05
Or dumb crimes.
47:06
We will.
47:06
And then I'll give you my umpire update.
47:08
Oh my gosh, I cannot wait.
47:09
And, um, hopefully it won't make me cry.
47:11
Yeah.
47:13
And maybe, you know, we'll touch on maybe some work life balance and what we can do for work life balance.
47:19
Yeah.
47:19
I need some help with that.
47:20
Me too.
47:24
All right, everybody.
47:24
Thank you for joining us.
47:26
Thank you.
47:27
Sorry for this lighting.
47:28
That is, it's on radio if you're watching the video version.
47:31
Yes.
47:32
So, all right, guys.
47:33
Well, we will see you next week.
47:35
Sounds good.
47:36
Thank you.
47:36
Thank you.
47:37
Bye.
