• 0:00
  Speaker 1: We got a question for American mamas. Is there a
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: particular day or time that, if you had the chance,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: you would go back and relive.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Well, let's ask our American mamas.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: Alma ma, she said, and joining us now our American
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: mamas turned out of Ville and Kimberly burleson. Uh.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: So, you know, I think there's some people that I
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: think there's some events in just about everybody's life through like, well,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: you know that was a pretty good day, like okay,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Groundhog Day. So Groundhog Day had Bill Murray. He was
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: having to relive the same day over and over and
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: one of them he was like, you know this, I
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: got to spend this day with this girl, and you know,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: there's a great night. That was a pretty good day.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Why couldn't I live that day over and over and over?
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: You guys, you guys have those those days that come
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: to mind, like, hey, why why can't I live that
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: day over?
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: I loved that question. I loved asking everybody in my
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: family you know that same.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Question you've asked.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we got that question, and I was like, what
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: in my very I wanted to know? I told Terry, So,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: what's your knee jerk? I mean, because we can go
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: back and think of regrets or think about what we'd
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: want to do over. But what was your very first
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: initial thought? And mine was a trip that we took
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: as an entire family to the beach years ago with
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: my mom and dad, who are both deceased now, all
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: of our children, cousins, aunts, uncles. I mean, it was
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: a huge group of us, and I wish I could
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: go back and just savor it, just relive it. It was
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: the best week, but I wish I could just savor it,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: just take it in. And then I was asking your children,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: ask my children, and you know, they were all talking
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: about their wedding days. So and their wedding days. Some
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: are her wedding day slaves that he'd go back to
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: his freshman year in college and he'd redo things like
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: a lot of like redos. And then I asked Shane,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: my daughter, I said, what would you go back? What
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: day is your favorite? And she said, I don't think
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: I've had it yet. I think my best days are
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: ahead of me, so I can't think of one behind me.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: And I thought, how it's timing. It's like where we
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: are in life when we're older, it's so much easier
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: to reflect and look back, whereas when you're young, you're
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: not there yet because you're looking forward.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I agree. I thought that was fascinating.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: It was the interesting wait, hold on, you didn't answer
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: the question, Yeah, what's your day?
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: It was the go back to the hum to the beach, yah,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: with the family, with.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: The family, go back to the beach with the family, okay,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: and with Terry.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this was I don't know why this was hard
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: for me, but I there's like equal parts of my childhood, huh.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: And then when we had our kids under our roof
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: in the bubble, you know, those days when it was
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: Kevin and me and our three little ones. I was
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: laying out there, closed to go to school the next day,
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: and it was all five of us under one roof,
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: having fun, living life, knowing that you know, wherever we went,
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: they went. Now we have to be plans have to go.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: Are y'all able to come? Are y'all able to be there?
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: Can we go? Eat? You know? I love that that
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: time period, you know, we just relished in that time.
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: And then the other one for me was my own
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: childhood when it was the six of us under a roof,
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: you know, with Dad at the helm and mom doing
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: her thing. I just one day back in those moments,
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: just to, like you said, relish in it. I would
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: be so curious. Like right now, I feel like there's
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: listeners that are literally in their minds going back in time,
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: and I wonder would they go back to a time
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: and relive a good thing that happened, or do you
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: have those that would go back that have a regret
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: wish they could redo change it that regret and change
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: the narrative of something that they did that they wish
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: they didn't do. I wonder what people, what the majority
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: of people would wish they could do.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Huh.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: You know one thing that's kind of interesting to me.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: So when I asked my daughter Sonny, she said it
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: was her senior year because she was looking forward to college.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: And when I asked another friend, it was when they
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: were you know, they're millionaires, so it was like the
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: days before when they were like on their interest. And
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: I thought that was kind of interesting because remember we
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: used to have a national magazine where we interviewed self
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: made millionaires and the common thread among those interviews, among
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: all of them was the journey was the most fun.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: The very first sell the very first, you know, when
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: they could buy their first home, when their job made
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: enough money to do this. The journey was the best
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: part and not the destination.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: That's interesting.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: That makes me think of that Steels baseball team when
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: the tornado hit the field and those two years of
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: having to use their trucks as their locker room and
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: they had to go you know, Coach Burrows had them
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: go into the Memorial gym to work out, and so
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: that fancy one that the football players used, and they
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: had to use the high school field for their home games,
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: so we were on the road mostly and yet and
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: then they win the championship, you know, they win the
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: conference that when we finally had a new stadium. And
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: I think as hard as those years were, if you
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: went back, they would say those are the greatest times
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: because they bonded through it. So I can totally understand
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: where the journey would be the thing that they'd want
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: to relive. But it's all if you know that you're
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: leading towards that greatness that you aspire to be. I
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: can't imagine someone loving the journey and getting to the
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: top and it just flatlining, you know.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: So do you have any you I feel odd in this. No,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: there's not a single day I would want to go
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: back and redo, not a single day I want to
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: go back and revisit. I feel like I did that.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I have the memories. The memories are vivid. I feel
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: good about that. And maybe it's because I'm always I'm
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: always striving towards something. I'm always I'm always and I
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: always have been like, I'm always looking at the future.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: I'm always looking at where am I going, What's next?
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: And so I don't feel like I have that. I
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: want to go back and relive my wedding day. My
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: wedding day was great, it was fun, but I have
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: memories of that.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: I bet you speak for a lot of people.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So for me, it's it's not that I don't
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I don't have it yet. I'm not sure I remember
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: going to have it because I'm always looking forward. If
