This is episode 35, Our Grandsons, My Great Nephews. Let me introduce my sisters and then they will introduce their grandsons. Number one, we have Susan. Number two, we have Cheryl. And number four is Stacy who just joined us. Wait, Stace. Hi. And I'm Shelley, number three, and I'm your host for today. I know you guys are looking forward to this and Susan, I'm gonna have you start and you just introduce your grandson. Okay. speaker-3: Today we have a very special guest, my favorite Baylor, who Luke, you're in your senior year, right? Yes. speaker-4: Yes. speaker-3: Okay. But he's only been in school three years, but he's in his year. So that tells you he's a smart. speaker-2: Senior year cookie. speaker-3: But we're excited to have him with the Baylor football team. And so he works, takes a full load out speaker-2: And I am very proud. speaker-3: of him as well as his grandpa. So speaker-2: I'm excited to introduce to you my grandsons. Start with Cody. He's a senior at Texas State. And he is in sports communication and is working with the football and volleyball teams. And we're excited because he just wrote his first article that got published yesterday. And then Mason is a junior at Texas State. Well, they're all at Texas State. And I'll be ripping that today. And he's getting ready to start a d a new job. And then there's Hayden. He's our sophomore and he works with kids in gymnastics in Austin and he loves that. And we're excited to have them today. Well, as workers and as full time college students, we know your time is precious. So we're gonna just jump in there and get started. The first question, Cody, for you is what is something about yourself that you think has changed the most since high school? speaker-4: In high school I really was kind of locked down in everything I was doing because I was involved in a lot of things. I enjoyed everything I was doing, but I didn't really enjoy my free time as much. So in college I'm still d involved in a lot, but I'm enjoying my free time a lot more than I did in high school. Okay. I speaker-2: What about you, Mason? speaker-4: would just say that I've gotten way more responsible. Now that I'm on my own, doing my own stuff like work speaker-5: Go work. speaker-4: and paying my own rent, like speaker-5: Things like speaker-2: About you. speaker-4: Luke. I definitely say coming from high school, I didn't have to study as much in high school. So it's much more of a time commitment in college to apply myself and trying to study more. Okay. speaker-2: And hate speaker-5: I would say my conference, just meeting new people around me and getting to know them. speaker-2: Well, we normally would tell y'all not to brag, but this is a moment that I would love to hear. Mason, what are you most proud of yourself for accomplishing so far? speaker-4: So far, I would say maintaining a good GPA. It's like coming from high school, I didn't take it as serious, like school as as much as I should have. But I've taken the next step coming into college and maintaining good grades. Okay. speaker-2: How about you, Luke? speaker-4: I'd say being on the dean's list the past two semesters. Going into those semesters I was kinda a little nervous 'cause I saw a couple of the harder classes I was gonna have to take, but I really tried to apply myself those during those those semesters and it worked out. speaker-2: You Hayden. speaker-5: I'd go with the same thing as Mason, keeping a good GPA and just being an all around good student. speaker-2: Great. speaker-4: try and be a little different, but I guess getting to this point in college, going into my senior year, I did just switch my major. So being able to switch it, but also 'cause I did summer classes this past summer to stay on track. So being a first gen, that's something that I'm proud of. speaker-2: Great, that's great. We're so proud of you guys. Okay, so what's the weirdest thing you've eaten because you were broke or too lazy to cook? Luke, we're gonna start with you. speaker-4: Okay. So I think there's been a couple of times where like it's gotten to the end, the pantry's getting a little low. I try to get grocery orders on like Sundays, so later in the week I think there's been a couple of times I've just ate some like ranch style beans for the night. Just called it at that. that's probably it. I don't speaker-3: That's normal meal. That's a normal meal for us. Yeah, that's what Pat Paul used to send to Shelley and I when we were in college. speaker-2: It is the musical fruit, yeah. It is fruit. Hey Hayden, how about you? What's the weirdest thing you've eaten? speaker-5: I've eaten a lot of weird stuff, but I'd say the weirdest one probably just a mixture of a bunch of random foods that I had in the pantry. I don't remember it all, but just a bunch of random stuff. speaker-2: Okay, Cody? speaker-4: It's probably not that weird, but being like it is d it's a broke meal when I am eating it. It's tuna. Like I'll put it with my eggs if if that's all I have for that day or whatever. But it is speaker-3: Like just tuna? No. speaker-2: Mayonnaise or anything? speaker-4: Well, I p I p mix it with my egg so it's kinda like chicken. speaker-3: Tuna fish salad kind of, right? Tuna speaker-4: Yeah and scramble names. Yeah. speaker-3: egg. speaker-2: Sounds healthy. speaker-4: Yeah, I think that is the only plus with it, 'cause it's tuna, so it stinks up the house. speaker-2: Mason, what about you? speaker-4: I would say cereal with water because I don't like eating cereal by itself and when I'm out of milk like water's just the next sense. speaker-2: I think that might win the award. speaker-3: Yeah. Probably. speaker-2: None of y'all said ramen noodles though. That's crazy. Stacy and I lived on ramen noodles. We did how healthy it is. They are. They are. speaker-3: I don't think they were that unhealthy back then though, Shelley. speaker-2: You said weird and That's true. So next question. speaker-5: What surprised me the most, I probably just say how how much easier it is to wake up than I usually like from high school. It's it's more it surprised me how easy it is. I don't know. Yeah. speaker-2: 'Cause when you get in at two, you're surprised you can pop up. Yeah. Kirby. speaker-3: It's that responsibility piece there. speaker-2: Yeah. Cody, as the one who's been independent the longest, what about you? speaker-4: Yeah, that's what I was gonna say. I think I've had it a little harder because th Mason Hayden got some advice from me. But I guess the thing that's most surprised me or that it shocked me, you are on your own. Like the professors don't care, the landlords don't care, like you it it's all on you. So that which I mean not that that was n in the back of my mind, but it it really is true that you you are on your own and no one cares besides you. speaker-3: Your grandma can't. speaker-4: Yes, besides yes, besides. speaker-2: Mason, how much did all that Cody wisdom help you? speaker-4: So much. No. But I would say for what speaker-5: We won't. speaker-4: surprises me the most was the the amount of freedom there is like here. Like you can stay up however late. Like nobody's really there to tell you what to do anymore. So that's what's really been like different over these last couple of years for me. speaker-2: Luke, wrap it up for us. speaker-4: I think that like when I first got to college I wasn't aware of how much I'd like call people from back home, call my parents or I try to I mean, yes, I am independent, but I can still call those people if I if I need to talk to somebody. speaker-2: That's cool. So this is what I've been looking forward to. What is the strangest roommate habit you've encountered? Let's we won't speaker-3: Tell your roommates. speaker-4: Well how much time do y'all have? speaker-2: Yeah, Cody, 'cause you like yeah, and room. speaker-4: Yeah. The strangest there's just a lot of I'm gonna just say there's so many, but the the thing that gets me is the dishes. And I know that's that's a lot of people's and it's a basic one, but what I don't understand and I hope they don't see this because I probably do it too, but not the most, is when you do use a dish, like and you you just don't clean it. Like you just put it in the sink. I I don't get it. I really don't get it, but speaker-2: And then you know. speaker-3: Yeah, I was gonna say speaker-4: wonder why there's no speaker-3: And it's been speaker-5: Last year. speaker-4: I guess that's more speaker-2: It is. It's your p it's a personality and it's not wrong for you to feel that way. But it's just speaker-3: Right. speaker-4: And again, it's not that I do every single one of my dishes, but I at least do the bare minimum and rinse it at times. speaker-2: Mason your strangest roommate habit. speaker-4: I don't so strange. I don't really I can't really say I had that. I kinda had a weird roommate my freshman year, but like he kinda stayed to himself for the most part. But I will say something funny that happened. So I had four roommates, two on one side, two on the other. And the speaker-5: We're speaker-4: roommate was on the other side and he he got into an argument since they share the restroom because one of them clogged the toilet. So they were argued up leaving after the first semester and got a a new speaker-2: Over a clogged. speaker-3: Toilet. speaker-4: Over a claw toilet. Like yeah, it got really bad. speaker-3: Like over and over again cogged or just once. speaker-4: I think it happened. speaker-5: Two times. speaker-4: Yeah. Two times too many people. Yeah. speaker-2: Guess so. He's in for a rude awakening when he gets married. speaker-3: Yes, it will be. Yeah. There's a thing called a plunger. speaker-4: Yeah. speaker-2: Luke, have you had a strange roommate encounter? speaker-4: Yeah, I wouldn't say as much of a strange roommate, but my roommate was pledging for a fraternity his freshman year. So he would come back from whatever they were doing at like three AM, wake us all up, and then he he'd have to wake up again in the morning at six AM. So he wakes he'd wake us up at three AM and at six AM. And then for a little bit, I think that they had to be with one of like the fraternity brothers at all times or something like that. So their one guy was just staying in our room with us just randomly, so It was definitely a little weird, but we got through it. Yeah. That's normal. speaker-2: I I would say that's strange. Yeah, that is strange. Hayden, I've been waiting for yours. This has gotta be good. speaker-5: My roommates, it's see you can take the trash the tallest before taking it out. They try to stack it up as high as they can before they take it out. It's like I don't know why they can't just take it out when it's like right at the rim. But yeah, that's fine. speaker-3: Yes. How high? speaker-2: High as a guy. speaker-5: We're over our speaker-4: Over our speaker-5: little bar area before. It was pretty crazy. speaker-2: Do they like step in it and try to get it down? No. speaker-5: You can stack it all the way up. speaker-3: Tell that won't work when they get married. Yeah. speaker-2: Hey, that's poor man's jingo right there. speaker-3: That is. That's right. And if you do step in it, you can get away with it longer and save on trash bags too. True. Yeah. speaker-4: had said earlier, just take school more serious, get better grades so you can get more scholarships, more opportunities from maybe better schools. That's what I would say. speaker-5: Like speaker-2: what would your advice be to yourself in back in high school? speaker-4: I would just kinda tell or tell myself just kinda enjoy it a little more. it all float flo flew by once I got to college. already in my last year here, but yeah, just take it in, I guess. speaker-5: I'd say about my confidence working on that more in high school than having to work on it more in college. speaker-2: What about you, Cody? speaker-4: Online would be to just make the bold decision. I don't regret the decision I made to come here. And it was a like a last stitch decision that I made because I mean I don't know if y'all remember, I was always wanting to go to North Texas. Always and yeah. speaker-3: Yeah. speaker-4: And in my senior year, I mean my friend from high school came to a game here and we got to rush the field. And so that was like my sign that this is where I wanted to go. 'Cause I always dogged on it. So long story short, to make the decision to go. speaker-2: All of y'all work part-time, go to school full-time. So Luke, what is the hardest part about balancing work, school, and your personal life? speaker-4: I don't really have too much free time, so trying to find stuff to fill my personal life is kinda just watching a football game, but I'm also studying a little bit at the same time or just trying to do stuff like kinda like combining the two just to I don't know, maximize my time. speaker-2: Aiden, do you have much personal time between work and school? speaker-5: I do more on the weekends. I I work more of the the weekdays, so I get the weekends to like hang out with my roommates, do some personal stuff, you know, have some time to just, you know, relax from school and speaker-2: Cody, how about you? speaker-4: would say it is a challenge to balance all of it because I mean college coursework is is it when in they say you're a full time student, you really are a full time student. And I mean I've had the same job now for I think I've been there for a year plus I got the communications job which that one is more like a dream because I'm, you know, at all the sporting events and and I'm getting paid for it basically. So that helps with that. It really not being a second job. But it is a challenge and but it helps that I live with It feels like eighteen people, but I really live with four others and two dogs. So that that really helps like with my free time and it feel like fulfilling that time. speaker-2: Well, with Cody saying that, I'm gonna give a an ant freebie here. Do something you love and it doesn't feel like a job. And I think that's great advice, Cody. So Mason, tell us how you balance work, school, and personal life. speaker-4: I mean kind of like what they were saying, there's not much free time, so like when it is the free time, like keep it that. Don't think about school, work, like have my own time. speaker-5: For myself. speaker-2: Do y'all have time to work out at all? speaker-4: I have a class where I work out. speaker-5: I kinda use it as my work. Kinda work out with the kids a little bit sometimes. speaker-4: It's one of those where you just gotta find a time if you wanna do it. speaker-3: It gets worse, by the way. It doesn't get better. It gets worse. Yeah. speaker-4: It's all fair. speaker-3: Yeah. Luke, do you get to work out with the football team? speaker-4: I g I try to go in the mornings like pretty early before I have to start work, so it's kinda nice. I can just work out at the facility and then go straight to work from there. So that's that's nice to have for sure. It's good. speaker-5: It's cool. speaker-2: Yeah. We're gonna kinda shift into generation thing now. And I'm gonna ask Hayden, do you think your generation has more pressure than previous generations because you're constantly comparing yourself to other people online? speaker-5: I'd say yeah, a little bit. speaker-3: In what way, Hayden? I'm just curious. Where do you feel that pressure? speaker-5: I just say from like all these older like kids that I see like succeeding and doing so much like there's some kids that I know that don't go to school and that they're like succeeding but then you know, some kids they do go to school and it's like a little rougher path. speaker-2: Cody, you want to add to that? speaker-4: Yeah, I think a little bit more 'cause we always hear like the well back in my day we didn't do and I I mean it is true to an extent, but also like I feel like times were a little bit less and I mean I say this not being there, but I feel like times were a little bit less stressful financial wise and like you didn't have the social media pressures that we have today. Because it really is like I mean Well we all think like I made an Instagram post yesterday and it took me five hours to actually post it because I had to make sure everything was perfect, which is like dumb, but it's just kinda how it is now. speaker-3: Cody, I think we did speaker-2: We didn't speaker-3: have the financial pressures, but we didn't have the online social media. And I think that adds to the financial pressures because you see either what other people have or what they're doing or what they're wearing or where they're going and you're not. So that kind of makes it harder, you know. speaker-4: And I think more on the financial just to I was more saying I guess prices. Which is a whole nother thing. Yeah. Like just for like it everything being speaker-3: I know I was paying forty five cents a gallon for gas. speaker-4: See, I don't wanna hear that. I really I don't speaker-2: Hey Mason, how about you? speaker-4: I mean, I think Cody hit it pretty square, basically just what he said. I don't really have anything to add to that. speaker-2: Yeah. We lost Liv speaker-3: So what is your biggest motivation to get to class, to get to your job? Yeah, what motivates you the most? Because a lot of kids don't make it through college. And that's okay. Not everybody has to have a college degree, but what is your motivation to get through? Start with Cody. speaker-4: I think my motivation kind of goes along with what I said earlier, like being a first gen I know it to an extent it's just a piece of paper at the end of the day, but like from what I hear it really does open up a lot of doors. And just the feeling so I've been I have gotten Dean's list once too and that like getting it once makes you want to get it again 'cause it's a bi semester thing. And so that's one thing that really motivates me also. I would speaker-3: Nice. Mason? speaker-4: say the motivation for me, like to get to class, especially is like You're paying for it now. It's on your dime. So like if you don't go, it's you're just wasting your money. So yeah, I think it's very important since we're now paying for school coming into college that we make it to all the classes that we possibly can. Sorry about that. My phone just it got overheated and it shut down. speaker-2: I get overheated too and shut down. speaker-3: That's all right, Luke. We're talking about what motivates you to get to class, to you know, get to your job and Hayden's next and then you can answer. Okay. speaker-5: What motivates me to get to class is kind of piggyback off Mason, you know, you pay a good amount to go here and it's like, why waste it by not showing up to class? speaker-4: I think some of the motivation just comes from just trying to do the best I can in everything I do. So if I'm not maximizing like going to class or just trying to do the best of everything I do really. speaker-3: Yes. Thank you. speaker-2: Is there anything about the way your grandparents use technology that makes you laugh? Cody, we're gonna start with you. Watch out now. speaker-4: I don't I guess it's not I mean, speaker-5: No not you, Jim. speaker-4: I guess it'd be more J Paul, I guess, to 'cause you you've kinda got it down, but I love the way like when older people hold their phones just like it's like one finger. It's just I don't know why it's but speaker-3: You will be there someday too, Cody. Our fingers just don't do this. They speaker-2: Cody. speaker-3: don't. Mine are fat, I guess. Yeah, they go they hit like three letters at one time. Every sentence ends with a B. A B out of nowhere. I already sent it. speaker-4: So like when they have the font. I don't think you have J W I don't think you have but I haven't seen your phone a while. But I think I do think J Paul has his font a little bigger. Yeah. speaker-3: You'll have to tell me how to do speaker-5: Yeah, speaker-4: Make glasses too. I maybe should up my font a little bit. speaker-2: Mason, what about you? What makes you laugh? speaker-4: So Jamie, you're not wrong for this, but she always ends her text with a period. Yeah. And us younger ones, we just, you know, just send the text, say the words like that's it. But she uses, you know, the correct punctuation. And I just think it's funny even she it's like, Thank you, period. speaker-2: You probably don't know this. My minor in college was English. speaker-5: No, no, no. speaker-4: Yeah, no, hey. You're doing it right. We're doing it wrong. I just think yeah. speaker-5: Yeah. speaker-2: You're just telling your age while you're doing it right. Yeah. Proud of my age. Hey Luke, what is something that your grandparents do with technology that makes you laugh? speaker-4: Yeah, I guess I'm probably not the one to talk 'cause my f phone just shut down. But she does kind of the stuff that Cody was talking about with the phone, like how she types with this one. And and kinda poppy, I don't know the name of the song for his ringtone, but every time I hear this this song that goes like it's by I think it's Tom Petty, Tom Petty song, and every single time I hear that song I think of him, so it kinda makes me laugh. speaker-3: Won't bad dance. Hey, and we used to have to pay good money for those ringtones too. I know. speaker-5: For mine. I wouldn't say anything about the technology, but like when Jamie takes her pictures, she always throws in the peace signs. That's my favorite thing to do. Every time I'm taking pictures to her, I'm always gonna throw in the peace signs. Yeah. speaker-4: Last. speaker-2: Yeah, I forget every once in a while and one of them will say, Hey, you gotta get your your news up. speaker-5: Yeah. speaker-2: That's funny. What is one technology that you could absolutely not live without? Mason, you wanna start us out? speaker-4: Yeah, I say YouTube. I watch a lot of YouTube golf. Like that's majority of my time when I'm home. speaker-5: Watching something on TV, it's YouTube. speaker-4: So definitely you two speaker-2: There will come a time that you use YouTube to figure out how to do stuff. speaker-4: Hey, I'm already on that. Sometimes I do. speaker-2: Luke, what's one technology that you just absolutely could not live without? speaker-4: I'd say I mean the basic answer is just laptop 'cause I feel like everything I do is with my laptop, whether it's schoolwork, yeah, just mainly schoolwork. But probably Spotify for music. I I try to I listen to a couple of podcasts and when I'm working out in the mornings I gotta have some music to get me going. speaker-3: Of course it's just as sisters, right? Of course. That's what you meant to say. speaker-4: Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that was implied. speaker-2: you're wearing earbuds all the time, aren't you? Yeah. speaker-4: Yes, ma'am. speaker-2: We just did an episode on pet peeves and when we're having full conversations with people thinking they're talking to us, only to realize that they're not talking to us. Was definitely a pet peeve. Yeah. Hayden, how about you? speaker-5: I'd say probably my phone and like my messages app 'cause that that's what I use to talk to everybody really. speaker-4: Well I know it's gonna take over the world and all, but I think I can probably live without it, but it's been a big factor. A I has been like a big like not e and not even just for school. 'Cause you really can and I know it's it's gonna take over the world and apparently kill us all, but speaker-3: Well at least you'll know how to use it, Cody. See Yeah, my whole job is around AI. So learn how to use it. Yeah. speaker-4: That's what I'm doing. speaker-2: And by the way, it's no longer AI, it's S I. Super intelligence. it is that's the new word. Susan, what's a technology you can't live without? speaker-3: My phone. Yeah. Everything on my phone. speaker-2: How about you, Cheryl? My phone for sure. speaker-3: That's the same. I wish it wasn't that way. I wish I didn't feel like I had to have it. I'd get the shakes if I can't find it. gosh. Not that bad. You know, if you look back, if you watch Mad Men or something like that, they had a phone. They had to meet face to face. I kinda wish we could get back to that to an extent. Yeah. So speaker-2: I went to get a new phone and they were trying to sell me on one. They said it's like a little computer. I said, No, no, no. I still use my phone as a phone. Mm-hmm. So it didn't work for me. Let me take a just a few seconds to ask you to hit the subscribe button. It's free, but our appreciation is huge. Go on, hit it now. speaker-4: Hit the button. speaker-3: Hit the button! speaker-5: Now speaker-2: Okay, so we're gonna shift into how you feel about your grandma, okay? So what's something about relationships that you think your grandparents generation got right? Let's go with Luke. speaker-4: I feel like y'all generation is definitely more intentional in the way that they care for their people that they care about relationships and stuff like that. I think that sometimes relationships nowadays are not as intentional. So that's definitely one thing that y'all generation got right. speaker-5: I would say like the the loving aspect, like you love your grandkids so much and just want them to succeed and, you know, do good things when they get a little speaker-2: Cody? speaker-4: I guess it that they it still'd to make relationships that like even with people that you don't necessarily would have a relationship with, like that intimately, they still seem to have relationships with people that like when we went and played pickleball at Sun City, like a f shoot, I was sleeping well for a while, but a few years ago there was a time where I can't remember exactly what happened, but we weren't following the rules apparently and some some words were said, but Jamie never takes it To the way we would take it. Like she always finds like the good edit, even though she wasn't that. But speaker-2: I did ask her if her name was Karen. speaker-4: Yeah, it's a speaker-5: Yes you did. speaker-4: I would say for me speaker-5: Is how big y'all are with y'all's face. speaker-4: I think y'all set a good example for all of us. So I think y'all definitely got that right. speaker-2: Thank you. So what's the most embarrassing thing Jamie and Yahya has done in front of you with your friends? Basin, why don't you start out? speaker-4: My friends may or we were at this speaker-5: May have been it may have not, but trampoline's part. speaker-4: long time ago and I think it was like kids speaker-5: Seven and under alright, three are this time. speaker-4: And she was like, yeah, he's seven. And like I understand how speaker-5: Like no, like I'm eight and like kinda snapped at Man now like I was a little scared then, I'd never seen that. Understandable. speaker-4: But how do we speaker-2: Well I was teaching back then and and I needed you to be in free with speaker-4: Yeah. No. Teaching or la like speaker-5: I'm a scorn. speaker-2: Wasn't right. speaker-3: We speaker-4: No, it was. speaker-5: He was right. speaker-2: Luke, how about you? Embarrassing thing yaw yaw has done in front of your friends. speaker-4: I can't really think of as anything crazy embarrassing to be honest. Really? This isn't really a embarrassing, it kinda I can get it, but there's been times during like football games or basketball games where both her and Poppy are giving the refs the earful and my parents have came up to me after the game and they're like, Did you hear y Yaga and Poppy at your game? I'm like, No what? And they're like, That's a good thing. They just speaker-3: Yeah, I remember telling the ref Even a grandma could see that. speaker-2: Hayden, how about you? What what embarrassing thing has Jamie done in front of your friends? speaker-5: I mean, it's not really embarrassing, but like her and my mom are always the loudest ones at my old high school games. Like no matter where I was, on the football field, baseball, basketball, track, I could always hear them too. Cody speaker-2: Yeah, but speaker-4: Yeah, that's kind of the same thing for me. Jamie's met a lot of my college friends now, or at least my roommates, and sh I think she knows like not that she doesn't hold back, but she just which at this point in our we don't get embarrassed really anymore, but I think she tries not to. speaker-3: you just issued her a challenge. speaker-2: I have to say something to Mason. Mason, at least I didn't do to y'all what my dad did to us when we'd go to a movie. It was an outdoor thing. We'd have to get in the trunk so that we wouldn't he wouldn't have to pay for us. speaker-4: So speaker-2: Hey. It's gotten a little better. speaker-4: Just speaker-5: It's called doing smart. That's what that's how I wrote. speaker-4: as speaker-3: on a long brown haired wig and went into Noah's college meeting. speaker-2: Football team. speaker-3: my Remember when Noah was growing his hair out? Yes. And speaker-2: Legger. speaker-3: who are you? You're not supposed to be in here. He said, I'm Noah's Paul. Me had the long haired wig speaker-2: Yeah. He was at Sam Houston, I think. Yeah. Or was he in a speaker-3: th that was at Sam. Mm. speaker-2: Papal is definitely the GOAT of embarrassing his children, grandchildren, and sometimes great grandchildren. So if Ya Yah and Jamie had a dating profile, what would their headline be? Luke, let's start with you. speaker-4: Sure. No. A dating prof dating headline. So is that just like just like one word? speaker-3: What is name? speaker-5: Like a caption? speaker-2: Can honestly say I've never been on a dating speaker-3: So I would not even know what that is. speaker-2: Assuming that it's like something to catch your attention. speaker-3: Well I would think if it was now it would start with Cheater. Ooh, for ya for Jamie Cheater. speaker-2: Yeah. speaker-4: I do have one. speaker-5: I got one. I might have speaker-2: Okay. Hayden, what's your headline for Jamie's dating profile? speaker-5: I don't know, something to do with pickleball or moving around, going places, you know, something like that. speaker-2: Hey, you can move around.

Hot tickle ball guys. speaker-5: Come on. speaker-4: You better not still mine. speaker-2: Well, Cody. speaker-3: You got the call, I got. speaker-4: Pickle Mason. I think it would just be Boomer Sooner. That speaker-5: That would be it. speaker-2: The all low room. speaker-4: Mine's mine's actually really cringy but funny. Hers Jamie's would be come for pickle, stay for the tickle. speaker-5: Just speaker-2: Yeah. speaker-5: I don't know why that one came to speaker-4: Yeah. speaker-2: You are the writer, Cody.

And I know because we've been there and thirty seems like it's ancient, but for some of you it's closer than the others. And where do you see yourself, Cody? speaker-4: My goal is to be a reporter for a professional team in the Dallas Fort Worth area. So that's where I hope to be at thirty. I know it takes a lot to get here. speaker-2: Hey. Mason, how about you? Where do you see yourself at thirty? I would speaker-4: Saying speaker-5: Hopefully being maybe a young speaker-4: head coach at a high school in the maybe central Texas area, high school football. Maybe not, maybe like a offensive coordinator, but one of those two I think is where I'd see myself. speaker-2: Okay. speaker-4: Yeah. At thirty, probably l working as an accountant at either P W C which is where my internship is for next summer in Houston, or trying to like work somewhere in like administrations or something like that here At Baylor. Still gotta work on that to figure out, but we'll see. speaker-2: Caden? speaker-5: And when I'm thirty I like to see myself coaching football. Maybe maybe not just football, you know, football, tennis, but maybe coach with Mason, you know. We'll see where that goes. speaker-2: That's cool. speaker-4: And if you were to ask our mom this question, she would have like thirty grandkids by us being speaker-3: I was surprised not one married with a kid. speaker-4: Yeah. speaker-2: Time for rapid response questions. Cody, Mason, and Hayden, do not take your grandmother's tendency to explain. It's a single question, it's a single answer. And this is out of the four of y'all, who is most likely, okay? and for not talking on top of each other, let's just go Cody, Mason, Luke, Hayden, okay? Okay. Who is most likely to become a millionaire? Me. speaker-5: No way. speaker-4: Luke sorry, Luke, because he's gonna be an accountant. Well I think Cody already has his job. He's got two jobs. speaker-2: So Luke, you think Cody? speaker-4: Yeah. speaker-2: Okay, and Hayden? speaker-5: Cody or Luke, one of them two. speaker-2: Okay. Who is most likely to get married first? speaker-4: Luke. I think he's got a girlfriend. Luke. He's got a girlfriend, right? Yeah. Yeah. speaker-5: Yeah, well. speaker-2: Today he does. Once this comes out, who knows? speaker-4: shoot, it's over for me. speaker-3: Yeah, because you know Bertie he didn't say anything speaker-2: Yeah. speaker-3: about being married. speaker-2: Who's most likely to become famous? There speaker-5: Yeah, me. speaker-2: you go. Most wins in the high school level, right? speaker-5: Yeah. Yep. speaker-4: And I'm talking about it on the TV so I'd say Cody. I mean, I could see it through the journalism route. Yeah. speaker-5: I'd say I said Cody. speaker-2: Hate him. speaker-4: Aiden. speaker-3: Okay. speaker-5: What should you do? speaker-3: He's gonna be living with Mason because he's gonna be coaching with Mason. And speaker-5: I think it's gonna be Mason for sure. speaker-2: Who's most likely to have the most kids? Cody. speaker-4: That's why I think that too, just 'cause I got my parents. If Cody thinks it I I'll vote Cody as well. speaker-5: Yeah, sure. speaker-4: You can have it. speaker-2: Yeah. speaker-5: Yes. speaker-3: But he'll speaker-4: Yeah. speaker-2: His wife might be an accountant. That's true. What about become the family politician? speaker-4: Cody Cody. Luke. I feel like Cody makes sense for that one. speaker-5: The channel. speaker-2: Yep. And who is most likely to be the crazy grandfather someday? speaker-4: Based off me in college, I'm gonna say mean. I feel like I got Papal opinion. speaker-2: I think y'all all could be crazy grandpa's all of you. speaker-3: Yeah we power. speaker-4: Well we got we got animal as our influence. speaker-2: having to step away real quick to get to class and we respect that. But hop on and watch the podcast so you can see what Jamie has to say about how she feels about you and the others are gonna just stay and let us wrap things up. But Mason, you take off and and get to class. Just speaker-4: Man, thank you all for having me. speaker-2: It was fine. speaker-3: Thanks for coming. Of course. speaker-5: Okay. speaker-2: Bye. Bye. Okay. Last couple of questions, guys, and then I want to hear from the grandmothers. What is one thing your grandmother has given you that money can't buy? Luke? speaker-4: definitely go the the faith route. She's always given us words and encouragement and has always been a positive influence to us t to continue to build our relationship with God and has definitely spread that to me and my brothers and has sent us scripture and that's definitely been something that I hope to continue to build my relationship with God and she has definitely helped a lot with that. speaker-2: Hayden, how about you? speaker-5: I'd say the the hard working mindset to just be able to be the best at what I'm doing at that time. Cody? speaker-4: Yeah. For me it's a two part one. She's always checking in on if if we're going to church or if we're, you know, make in our faith. She's always a asking if we have a girlfriend too. But so the faith us her being a big impact on our faith is one and then her just wanting to have a relationship with us has been big through I mean, since middle school really or I mean I on it before that, but from what I remember middle school and on, she's always been there and always checked in and s continues to today. speaker-2: Okay. And last question for you guys. What is one thing you want your grandmother to know about the man you're becoming? Cody, we're gonna go ahead and start with you. speaker-4: I guess the one thing and I mean, you know this, that o obviously I'm not perfect, but I am shaping into what I think that God wants me and is calling me to be. Luke. I'd say just like Cody said, I'm not perfect but I'm trying my best, working as hard as I can to get to be where God wants me to be and just gonna continue to work hard to get to that point. speaker-2: Hayden, why don't you wrap us up here? speaker-5: go with the same thing that they said, just not perfect when God wants me to be when I when I'm older. speaker-2: Susan, I I I just want you to wrap up with what Luke has meant to you coming on and and share what you want to well speaker-3: Luke is the third generation bear, and we're so proud of what he is doing there. He is making a way for himself. You know, I know that speaker-2: No speaker-3: he's going into accounting like his dad, but it looks way different than what his dad did. What I appreciate about Luke is that he loves the Lord, is speaker-2: His faith and speaker-3: continuing to grow. He loves his family. And it's very evident because he stays in touch with us and with his brothers. He's our first grandson, but he sets an amazing example for his brothers and the other cousins. And you know, you can't ask for anything better than that. He does things with excellence. He has an amazing work ethic and speaker-2: I'm gonna speaker-3: and with he loves his papy and ya ya well. We saw him at the game Saturday and he's busy because after the game he's just busy and that's his job. But he took the time to speaker-2: over speaker-3: and give us a hug picture and that just means the world to us. He kiss us in public. He's not afraid to hug us in public. Sit with us. And, you know, that just says a lot about his character. You know, just a young man of integrity and I speaker-2: I'm very proud of them. Cheryl, what about Cody, Mason, and Hayden? Well, they probably already know this, but they are the light of my life. I mean, whoo! I don't want to get emotional, but it was such a joy of being able to follow them in all their athletics and whatever they were in. It was so much fun. So much that we miss it so much. Another thing is whatever they're doing, they give it 100% whether it's their sports. their girlfriends, their education. And another thing I'm so proud of is that they're working and paying for their own school and that's hard. But they're gonna be better men for it on the other side. And it shows. And another thing is when I'm coming through San Marcus, they always if I call and say, Hey, will y'all come eat with me, they always try, you know, Cody rounds it the guys up. Let's go. Let's go. We're gonna go meet with Jamie. I don't know what he has to do. to bribe the guys, but they're always there if we wanna see And so it's just been a wonderful, wonderful feeling and they have set the bar high. So when Michaela has kids, it's gonna be a tough, tough beat these guys. Not that we rank grandkids or anything. They love their jammy, that's for sure. Well and Stacy's grandson JJ was not able to join us today, but Stacy tell us what JJ means to you. He speaker-3: He's the oldest grandson on our side and has gone through a lot as a kid, as a young man, and just continues to follow through and to go to school and to become what he's wanted to be and that's a leader in the refineries where he can lead a team. And that's what he's going to school for and you know, losing his dad in high school we know was very tough, but he's shining. He's in his moment. Well speaker-2: As y'all's great aunt, I want to take this opportunity to thank my amazing great nephews who took time out of their busy schedules today to join us.
