  Speaker 3: Coming home from California.
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: You've been traveling all over the place.
• 0:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah.

  Speaker 3: And then, you know, having, you know, take caring of
• 0:25
  my mom for surgery.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: So it's been a... Busy five days.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: You have been very busy. I'm about to be really busy.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: You're leaving the country again.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: I'm going to Italy. It's going to be fun.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: You're going to miss it. You're going to wish I
• 0:39
  was there for shopping.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: And this will have already aired. Well, this will already
• 0:43
  have happened when this airs. But I get to go
• 0:46
  to the final game of the World Cup.
• 0:48
  Speaker 5: What?
• 0:49
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: We got invited. And so I'm going.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: That's amazing. I wish you knew the rules of soccer.
• 0:54
  That would make you feel better.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: That would help, wouldn't it? You know, I'm a big
• 0:59
  sports person, as you know.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: You are.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: I'm huge. You are.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: I can call you up for any game and you're
• 1:03
  up for it.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: That's right. Like, that's my thing. And I was the
• 1:06
  team mom of my son's baseball team. And I was
• 1:09
  totally into that.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: And so, yeah. I mean, I know soccer well enough.
• 1:15
  I mean, I know that they got to kick the
• 1:17
  ball into the net to score, right? So that's all
• 1:20
  you need to.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: Know, right? We go to the games.
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: We do.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: We've been to the baseball. All the things.
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: I am a big sports fan with my sons, like,
• 1:31
  as a parent.
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: I did all his baseball and all that. But what
• 1:35
  sport did I play when I was younger? Do you
• 1:38
  know what sport I played?
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: Oh, good Lord. I should know this because you're a
• 1:45
  really good friend of mine, but I was going to
• 1:46
  say it. Did you play the flute or something? That's
• 1:49
  not a sport. I played golf. Oh, my gosh.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: That is right.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: And I played golf because my.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: Well, that's embarrassing for today.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: And I mean. I was actually, if I may say
• 2:04
  so myself, I was pretty good. OK. And well, I
• 2:08
  played golf up to a point. Let me just clarify that.
• 2:11
  My high school coach, the high school coach really wanted
• 2:14
  me on the golf team. But I had it. But
• 2:17
  I had a parent and I love him. To death.
• 2:22
  Bless his heart. Bless his soul. Yeah. He was one
• 2:25
  of these stage parents. I guess an equivalent of that
• 2:32
  in sports.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: So when I was a kid, I could play golf
• 2:37
  really well. He would have me trot me out at
• 2:41
  like bridge club picnics that the family had and say, Monica...
• 2:45
  come bring your seven iron and show everybody how far
• 2:48
  you can hit the ball. And I was like, that's
• 2:50
  a lot of pressure on a kid. And then we
• 2:52
  would go play and he would go with me and
• 2:55
  he was trying to teach me and help me. But
• 2:58
  he told me, I'll never forget this for as long
• 3:01
  as I live. He would tell me, you're swinging like
• 3:04
  a gorilla. Now I knew I was not swinging like
• 3:07
  a gorilla. That's like super exaggeration. And there was one
• 3:11
  time where my ball went into the rough And he
• 3:16
  had to come look for it with me. I mean,
• 3:18
  I guess I could have taken a mulligan and forgotten
• 3:20
  the whole thing. But I wanted to find that ball.
• 3:22
  And then he got mad and he threw his club
• 3:24
  right into the fairway because I was messing up his.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Was that the end of your golf?
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Well, that's kind of what ended it for me. But
• 3:31
  you know what? Who knows what I could have done
• 3:33
  if I just kept going.
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: This is so true.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: And so, you know, but it's a great sport. My
• 3:39
  kids love it. I love it.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: You can play it.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: I could watch it for hours.
• 3:46
  Speaker 7: I became fully involved in the Netflix series last year,
• 3:49
  Full Swing. And I have a new appreciation for what
• 3:55
  people in this sport go through.
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: It's intense.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: It's a hard sport.
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: Very difficult.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Because you know what? A lot of people... do swing
• 4:03
  like gorillas because they think you have to, to hit
• 4:06
  that little ball. But actually it's counterintuitive because that's not true.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: So true.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: But let's, let's hear from an expert on the whole
• 4:12
  subject because we are thrilled to have with us today.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Perfect.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: A proud seventh generation Texan. She has worked as an
• 4:20
  on-air reporter and host for Fox sports, NBC and the
• 4:24
  golf channel. She had her own show on Sirius XM radio.
• 4:29
  She is married to professional golfer Sergio Garcia, and together
• 4:33
  they have the Sergio and Angela Garcia Foundation, which supports
• 4:37
  various organizations that help children and families grow in the
• 4:40
  game of golf, which is amazing, as we say here
• 4:44
  on the show. She's the founder of UGLI Foundation, which
• 4:47
  is determined to end bullying and create a brighter future.
• 4:50
  We're excited to hear about that.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: She and Sergio are the parents of a son and
• 4:54
  a daughter. Please welcome Angela Garcia. Welcome to the Moms Club.
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: Hey, ladies, thank you so much for having me. I
• 5:02
  am so excited to be here. And I hope I
• 5:05
  see you at the World Cup final on Sunday.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, you're going to be there too? Okay, let's check in.
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: Sergio, being a Spaniard, we have to be there.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, you do have to be there. Absolutely.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: I did see you go to the game in LA.
• 5:19
  So yeah. Yeah, yeah.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Well, we're excited about it. I mean, I'm I don't know.
• 5:24
  By the time, like I said, by the time people
• 5:26
  see this, it'll already have happened. But yeah, you know,
• 5:29
  I'm kind of excited. Like I'm, I was pulling a
• 5:32
  little bit for England to end up in the final
• 5:34
  just because it's, that's really a story.
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: I mean, they haven't, that hasn't happened in a long time, but.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: I do believe I'm gonna make your prediction right here.
• 5:42
  I do think Spain will win no matter what. So
• 5:44
  you should have a happy, you should be very happy
• 5:47
  today as this airs. I believe I, that barring something unforeseen,
• 5:50
  I really think that's what's going to happen, but. It's
• 5:52
  going to be fun. I'm looking forward to it.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Angela, you feel the same?
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: Well, I feel very confidently in Spain. I mean, the
• 6:01
  way they just played against France, they were incredible. They
• 6:04
  played such a solid game, and Spain's defense is so good.
• 6:08
  I think no matter what, it's going to be a
• 6:12
  close game. And I can tell you that England just scored.
• 6:15
  So it's 1-0. Oh, I was going.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: To say, yeah.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: Sorry for our timing. It's terrible.
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: No, no, no.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: No, thank you.
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: I mean, I'm a sports, you probably know I'm also
• 6:25
  a sports nut. So, you know, I feel like I've
• 6:28
  come to the right place.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Well, tell me your story. So you played golf in college,
• 6:34
  but Your father was actually the quarterback of the UT
• 6:39
  football team. So you had a parent who could appreciate sport.
• 6:44
  What was that like for you? Because I, you know,
• 6:47
  I love my dad, but when it came to golf,
• 6:49
  he just tried to micromanage me to the point you
• 6:51
  can't be micromanaged in golf. It's the worst thing that
• 6:54
  can happen to get in your head that way. What
• 6:56
  was it like for you growing up and what led
• 6:59
  you to ultimately become a college golfer?
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: Well, I mean, my dad, was so supportive of me
• 7:07
  being a professional athlete. He actually went on and played
• 7:11
  in the NFL and he was one of four all
• 7:14
  American quarterbacks, or he is one of four all American
• 7:17
  quarterbacks to have ever played at the university of Texas. So,
• 7:20
  you know, he had a really, really impressive career.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: Um, but it was.
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: Tough having, you know, someone like that who was so
• 7:28
  successful at athletics when you're a kid, you know, just
• 7:32
  trying to kind of fill those shoes that you know
• 7:36
  the things they want you to accomplish. And I mean,
• 7:40
  from a very young age, I felt like, okay, I'm
• 7:44
  probably going to play a sport in college. But it
• 7:47
  was a lot of pressure. And I actually, you know,
• 7:50
  I loved basketball and I loved track. I ended up
• 7:54
  tearing my ACL my senior year of high school, but
• 7:56
  I was going to play basketball in high school. And
• 7:59
  luckily I had, you know, always held on to golf
• 8:02
  and been really successful, played in the state championship. I've
• 8:06
  won four district championships. I won every year that I
• 8:10
  played in high school. And it was actually kind of
• 8:12
  like a fallback for me. And it ended up working
• 8:15
  out so well because that's how I met my husband.
• 8:18
  That was, you know, kind of when my career started.
• 8:21
  was propelled and all thanks to the sport of golf.
• 8:24
  And I remember when I signed my college letter of intent,
• 8:28
  literally that afternoon, my dad told me, he said, I've
• 8:32
  been so hard on you and I've put a lot
• 8:35
  of pressure on you and you've done everything I've asked
• 8:38
  you to do. And he said, he was so thankful
• 8:41
  and appreciative and basically told me like, I don't have
• 8:44
  to worry about it anymore. But I look back and
• 8:47
  I don't regret it at all. The hours that my
• 8:50
  dad and I spent together on the basketball court, on
• 8:53
  the golf course, he would coach me in everything, track, soccer, softball.
• 8:59
  I really appreciate the kind of person that he helped
• 9:03
  me become and the competitor and the leader that it
• 9:05
  turned me into. Wow. That's great.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Now, you and Sergio have two children. They're pretty young,
• 9:12
  but Are they playing golf? Are they playing sports? Are
• 9:16
  they going to the soccer match with you? What are
• 9:18
  they into? And having both parents with that background, what
• 9:24
  are you all doing with your children? Or do you
• 9:26
  plan on doing if they're not really involved yet?
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: Well, it's such a great question. And I think that
• 9:33
  that has been very, very difficult for me. For Sergio,
• 9:36
  not quite so difficult. But I... Because of the world
• 9:40
  that I grew up in, my grandfather was at one
• 9:43
  point the winningest Texas high school football coach ever. My
• 9:46
  cousin is a Super Bowl MVP winning quarterback. My dad
• 9:51
  was the player that I told you about. And it
• 9:53
  was always like academics first and then sports. You will
• 9:56
  be successful at sports. You will do that no matter what.
• 10:00
  For Sergio's family, it was always a little more laid back.
• 10:03
  And Sergio has, you know, been playing golf since he was,
• 10:06
  I think, three years old and has been born with
• 10:09
  this natural ability to just be one of the greatest
• 10:12
  golfers that has ever played. Of course, he's put in
• 10:16
  thousands and thousands of hours of work, but it was
• 10:18
  always just a more kind of laid back attitude about it.
• 10:22
  So for me, it's been a really hard adjustment as
• 10:25
  a mom to sit back and watch. And I don't
• 10:29
  want to put that pressure on my kiddos. I want
• 10:32
  them to play sports. Like I said before, it just
• 10:35
  teaches you about teamwork and dedication and perseverance and just
• 10:40
  so many different things that are so important. But the
• 10:43
  ironic thing is our daughter is is opposite. She, as me,
• 10:47
  she's not competitive at all. She's like, her head is
• 10:50
  in the clouds, you know, she's very like artistic and
• 10:53
  creative and I'm doing everything I can to, to nurture
• 10:56
  that because it is literally the most beautiful thing. She's
• 10:59
  just so full of joy. She's singing all the time. Um,
• 11:03
  and so that has been a big adjustment. And then
• 11:05
  our son is identical to me, this little competitive guy
• 11:08
  who's got a soccer ball, at his feet 24 seven. Um,
• 11:11
  we just put a net outside of our like windows
• 11:14
  right outside of the living room yesterday because he keeps
• 11:17
  playing soccer in the living room and things are getting
• 11:20
  broken and he's getting good. I told Sergio, okay, we're
• 11:24
  going to have to move this outside. Um, and we
• 11:26
  put it right outside of the windows so he can
• 11:29
  just play all he wants right there. And I can
• 11:31
  see him no matter what I'm doing in the kitchen. But, um,
• 11:35
  That's been a struggle for me to kind of be
• 11:38
  more like Sergio and his family and take the more
• 11:40
  laid back approach, at least for now. And then maybe
• 11:43
  if they both decide whether it's a sport or whether
• 11:47
  it's music or something that they really want to focus
• 11:51
  on and be competitive at, then maybe I could shift
• 11:53
  into that more competitive gear a little bit.
• 11:57
  Speaker 7: I think the beauty of it, Angela, is that the
• 11:59
  kids are watching you and Sergio. I mean, I'm sure
• 12:02
  you guys you know, are playing all kinds of sports,
• 12:05
  but definitely golf together. And if they want to join, then,
• 12:08
  you know, it's a family thing and, you know, maybe
• 12:11
  not so, they're so young, not competitive yet, but having
• 12:16
  older kids, I think, and that competed in sports that
• 12:20
  if we could all look back and be like, okay,
• 12:22
  we needed to lighten up a little bit, you know,
• 12:25
  and let them discover themselves, which is really hard to do.
• 12:28
  And especially in your situation where you have this you know,
• 12:32
  dynamic family that was, you know, performing. So, um, my
• 12:37
  question to you would be like, um, how competitive are
• 12:41
  you with your husband when it comes to golf?
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, good question. Yeah. I used to, I used to
• 12:45
  have dates where we, I would compete on the golf course.
• 12:48
  So I'm just, that didn't work out very well though.
• 12:49
  This man did not like that. So how does that, yeah.
• 12:52
  How does that work for you all?
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: Well, being that I'm so competitive, that's probably not where
• 12:56
  I want to go spend a date because I feel
• 12:58
  like I'm, you know, obviously I have no chance of winning.
• 13:01
  It's funny when I'm out watching Sergio in a tournament
• 13:04
  every once in a while, someone will recognize me. They'll
• 13:07
  know my background that I played golf at the University
• 13:09
  of Texas and they'll ask me, can you beat Sergio?
• 13:12
  And I always say very politely, you know, if I
• 13:15
  could beat Sergio, I would be inside the ropes. I
• 13:18
  would not be out here. I think I've, One time,
• 13:22
  Sergio and I, we've played many times, but one time
• 13:24
  we played nine holes of match play and I beat him.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: That's my claim to fame. He was probably playing blindfolded
• 13:35
  or something.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: I've tried to block out every time we play out
• 13:40
  of my memory because he just crushes me. But he's
• 13:42
  so great. I mean, it's so fun to watch and
• 13:45
  I am so competitive still. I can beat him in basketball.
• 13:49
  I've got that. I can probably beat him in like
• 13:53
  a few random things, but he's very athletic and he's
• 13:58
  great at tennis, great at soccer, great at everything pretty much,
• 14:02
  which I find very annoying, but it keeps me on
• 14:05
  my toes.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I hear you.
• 14:09
  Speaker 7: So you have a lot of other things going on
• 14:12
  in your life as well, but we would love to hear.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: What is it like to go to the Masters? I mean,
• 14:19
  what's the vibe?
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: And I actually hear that the wives party is a
• 14:22
  lot more fun than anything else. Don't ask me where
• 14:26
  I heard that. But yeah, that's, you know, that's the
• 14:30
  word on the street. But what's the day like?
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: The few days?
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: Well, I mean, we're very blessed. We get a pretty
• 14:37
  incredible experience. We get to ride bikes. right down Magnolia
• 14:41
  lane in one of the champion, uh, you know, vehicles
• 14:45
  that we get, we get to park in the champions
• 14:47
  parking lot, which is literally right in front of the clubhouse.
• 14:50
  Anybody who's a non champion, they have a big parking
• 14:53
  garage now where, where they park. Um, and you know, it's,
• 14:58
  it's like a second home to us. It's it, every
• 15:01
  time we go there, you know, you kind of have
• 15:03
  a pinch me moment.
• 15:05
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: Every Tuesday night, the men, the, the past champions, they
• 15:09
  have their champions dinner. And at the same time, we
• 15:12
  have a ladies dinner that Julie Crenshaw hosts with one
• 15:17
  of the members and his wife. And it's pretty fun.
• 15:21
  We look forward to it all year. And the text
• 15:25
  messages start going around about a month before and and
• 15:30
  the excitement builds up and it's really cool for me
• 15:32
  because I, you know, I have people like, um, Annie
• 15:35
  Spieth who will come and I don't get to see
• 15:37
  her very often, but I see her there and, and,
• 15:40
  you know, I just adore her. And, um, you know, I,
• 15:43
  Erica McElroy this year was her first time joining and I,
• 15:46
  I hadn't seen Erica in a really long time. Um,
• 15:49
  Charles Schwartzel's wife, Rosalind Schwartzel, one of my dearest friends,
• 15:53
  I get to see her, Nicole Willett, Danny Willett's wife.
• 15:55
  I mean, just, just a lot of the wives that, um, So.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: It's a lot of laughter, a great reunion. And it's
• 16:02
  so fun.
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: I will tell you though, we're going back to the
• 16:07
  kids and thinking about the masters. This year was the
• 16:09
  first year that at the par three contest, the kids
• 16:12
  and I, you know, we caddy, we caddy every year.
• 16:14
  It was the first year where the kids really kind
• 16:17
  of understood what was going on. And Enzo, our son
• 16:21
  just drained like a 25, 30 foot putt on, I
• 16:24
  think it was the fourth green and the crowd went
• 16:26
  nuts and, And we, Sergio has it as his phone,
• 16:30
  like screensaver. Enzo's doing this like, come on pose, you know,
• 16:33
  and it's caught on camera.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: So that's kind of the fire.
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: Under him for golf. And then Azalea was on like
• 16:40
  the live ESPN broadcast and made like a five or
• 16:43
  six foot putt. And so they both just, I don't know,
• 16:46
  it was so cool for them to kind of experience
• 16:48
  Sergio experiences every day. And it was funny because Scott
• 16:52
  Van Pelt on ESPN, I watched it back later, When
• 16:55
  Azalea made the putt, he was like, well, when your
• 16:57
  name is Azalea, it is easier to putt at Augusta.
• 17:00
  It was pretty cool.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: That's made for movie, a TV sort of thing. That's
• 17:06
  like magical.
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: Exactly.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: Do you travel everywhere with him when he's playing? Because
• 17:15
  with children, how do you make that work?
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: Well, we don't travel every week. It would just be
• 17:22
  too much. But we try to travel as much as
• 17:25
  we can. I mean, this summer already, we've been to Spain.
• 17:29
  We went to Morocco. We've been over to California and,
• 17:34
  you know, done a lot of things together. But Sergio
• 17:36
  just went to Germany to play. We didn't go there.
• 17:39
  He's leaving in a few days to go to the UK.
• 17:41
  We won't go there. It's just, you know, the Live
• 17:45
  Golf Tour is a global tour. And while it's incredible,
• 17:48
  they're bringing golf to so many places that where they
• 17:51
  don't get to see the best players in the world.
• 17:54
  It just it's a little bit tough to get everywhere
• 17:56
  with the kiddos. They are great travelers. We kind of
• 17:59
  have it down to a science. But man, just waking up,
• 18:04
  you know, at 2 a.m. and you've got a child
• 18:06
  that's like, I can't sleep. I'm wide awake. It just
• 18:09
  it's tough. You can only do that so many times
• 18:12
  in a year.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. Trust me. We took our son to lunch.
• 18:17
  The first trip I took my five-year-old to the UK,
• 18:20
  we were in first class. And the whole way, he
• 18:24
  kept repeating, I hate this. I hate this. I hate this.
• 18:29
  And of course, so did all the other passengers in
• 18:33
  that cabin. Why are you bringing this kid on this plane? Yeah,
• 18:37
  it's hard to travel with little kids. Well, tell us
• 18:40
  about the Sergio and Angela Garcia Foundation and what inspired
• 18:46
  that and what is it and what's the goal there?
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: Thank you very much for asking about the foundation. We're
• 18:54
  super proud of it. So We started the Sergio and
• 18:57
  Angela Garcia foundation in 2016, but before that Sergio had, uh,
• 19:02
  the Sergio Garcia foundation in Europe, and that was founded
• 19:06
  in 2000. And he started out with some really cool initiatives, um,
• 19:12
  that mainly focused around teaching the game of golf to, um,
• 19:17
  people with, with, uh, any sort of disability and teaching
• 19:20
  people to teach. um, to, to the game of golf, to, to,
• 19:25
  to someone with a disability. And, you know, it's one
• 19:27
  of those things that becomes really therapeutic for, for a
• 19:30
  lot of people just being outside, um, being in nature and,
• 19:34
  and kind of doing something that is repetitive and, um,
• 19:37
  you know, just having a really great teacher with you.
• 19:40
  And then when we moved it over to the United States,
• 19:43
  we were doing our AJGA, the American Junior Golf Association,
• 19:47
  tournament here in the state of Texas. And it quickly
• 19:50
  became one of the premier junior golf tournaments in actually
• 19:56
  the entire world. And actually, I don't know if you
• 19:58
  ladies are familiar with Joaquin Neiman. He's one of the
• 20:00
  best golfers in the world now. He's a Chilean golfer.
• 20:04
  He actually won our junior tournament twice.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: And now you see him winning championships. I think he's
• 20:10
  won maybe six or seven times on, on live and
• 20:13
  he's won, he won multiple times on the PGA tour
• 20:15
  before he joined live. So that is really neat to see,
• 20:18
  you know, these kids win at our junior tournament and
• 20:21
  then go on to have success as professionals. And then
• 20:24
  this will be our fifth year, but, but five years ago,
• 20:26
  we started four kids ATX, which is our big foundation
• 20:30
  event and gala, which benefits the Sergio and Angela Garcia foundation.
• 20:35
  We have our partners, Chris Harrison and Lauren Zima now and,
• 20:38
  You know, Chris Harrison as the former host of The Bachelor,
• 20:42
  Lauren Zemo's on Entertainment Tonight. And with our event, we
• 20:48
  support Dell Children's Medical Center here in Austin. We support
• 20:52
  the Center for Child Protection and we support Experience Camps,
• 20:56
  which is a camp where anyone who has suffered the
• 20:59
  loss of a family member can go for free and,
• 21:04
  you know, just spend time with other people who have
• 21:06
  experienced that and just have the ability to laugh and
• 21:09
  smile again and, you know, have counseling, whatever they need.
• 21:13
  And then the last foundation that we support is the
• 21:16
  Ugly Foundation, the anti-bullying foundation that I founded. And we're
• 21:20
  super proud of that. In just four short years, we've
• 21:23
  raised close to $ 10 million, which is really cool. And
• 21:28
  we've been able to help a lot of people in
• 21:33
  Texas and particularly in central Texas. And, you know, that's
• 21:36
  just our focus. It's our focus is on kids and
• 21:39
  on our community.
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: That's a really important effort.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: It's the ugly foundation.
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: Is that right?
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: UGLI.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: So how did that come about?
• 21:50
  Speaker 7: Because I think this is a really important issue that,
• 21:53
  you know, is brought up because it happens all the
• 21:55
  time now, especially with social media and, And sadly, we
• 21:58
  read about stories that.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: End up being, you know, permanent.
• 22:03
  Speaker 7: Solutions in some children's lives and because of bullying. And
• 22:09
  I'd love to hear, like, you know, why did you
• 22:11
  pick that and how you came about that?
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: Well, you know, being a sports reporter, I started seeing
• 22:20
  a lot of a reoccurring theme where, where kids were
• 22:24
  having all this pressure put on them to perform, whether
• 22:27
  they were a high school or a college athlete. And,
• 22:30
  you know, you'd have a, let's say you'd have a
• 22:32
  high school freshman who, or excuse me, a college freshman
• 22:35
  who misses the game winning three pointer for, for, you know,
• 22:38
  his university to move on in the NCAA tournament or something.
• 22:42
  And then you see this, this kid who's maybe 19
• 22:46
  years old getting literally death threats, you know, on social
• 22:49
  media and, and, You've got these people who are just
• 22:53
  so brave behind their keyboards. And in my opinion, they're
• 22:56
  just the biggest cowards on the planet. And like, what
• 23:00
  a waste of time. We can't find something better to
• 23:02
  do with our time than to tear down anybody, adults
• 23:06
  as well, but especially, you know, someone that's that young.
• 23:10
  And so I just, I started thinking, you know, this
• 23:12
  is happening everywhere. It's getting worse and worse. As you
• 23:15
  all mentioned, social media is exacerbating it. When we were kids,
• 23:18
  you might be bullied at school, maybe on the bus,
• 23:21
  but then when you went home, you got away from it.
• 23:23
  Now it's relentless. It never leaves you with all the
• 23:26
  different social media platforms. These kids are getting cell phones
• 23:30
  younger and younger. So I just wanted to do something.
• 23:33
  I couldn't just stand by and watch this happening. And
• 23:37
  the name, The Ugly Foundation, just came to me because
• 23:40
  I just wanted to take a word that you think
• 23:43
  is synonymous with bullying and ugly, I thought was one
• 23:47
  of the best words, you know, to use and change it,
• 23:49
  give it a positive meaning. And ultimately, my goal is
• 23:51
  for one day, you know, anywhere around, hopefully the world,
• 23:55
  somebody calls you ugly, it's a good thing. It means
• 23:57
  that you are gifted, loved and individual, which is the acronym,
• 24:02
  which is what it stands for. And yeah, I mean,
• 24:05
  we've we've come so, so far with the foundation. It's
• 24:07
  pretty incredible. We're in almost 60 schools in the state
• 24:11
  of Texas now with our ugly clubs. For those of
• 24:13
  you who don't know, it is the law in the
• 24:15
  state of Texas that every public school must have an
• 24:19
  organization that is a safe space that addresses bullying, a
• 24:23
  place where someone can go. And so our clubs are
• 24:27
  the official clubs that the person who actually got that
• 24:31
  legislation passed, that she is recommending to all of the schools.
• 24:36
  And we're working as partners and Actually, her son, his
• 24:40
  name was David Molak. He took his own life in
• 24:44
  2017 after relentless bullying. And his mom, Maureen, who is
• 24:48
  one of my dear friends and just such an inspiration,
• 24:52
  she started the David's Legacy Foundation for Official Partners. And
• 24:55
  she is just an absolute warrior trying to do everything
• 24:59
  she can. So this doesn't happen to someone else's child.
• 25:03
  And if we don't continue to make progress It's going
• 25:09
  to continue to get worse and worse. We've never had
• 25:11
  any federal legislation passed to regulate social media and to
• 25:14
  protect our children. And she's working really, really hard in
• 25:18
  Washington on that. And, you know, we can talk about
• 25:20
  that for hours, I'm sure. But but it's just as
• 25:23
  you said, it's a problem. And I know there are
• 25:26
  kind people out there and I know people, you know,
• 25:29
  want to help and work. want this to stop. We
• 25:32
  just all have to work together.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I think it's an everyday issue.
• 25:36
  Speaker 7: I mean, I have older children now and you have
• 25:38
  younger children. What, I mean, do you think in your head,
• 25:42
  like what kind of plan you have moving forward with
• 25:45
  your kids?
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: You know, because it's just going to get.
• 25:48
  Speaker 7: More and more with AI and, you know, the way
• 25:52
  that the kids learn these days. So I'm curious. And
• 25:56
  I know other moms are curious. What exactly is your plan? um,
• 26:01
  for your kids?
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: I mean, absolutely. It's something that I think about literally
• 26:05
  on a daily basis. And yes, I am lucky. My,
• 26:08
  my kids are only six and eight, you know, and
• 26:10
  right now the, the only thing they want to do
• 26:12
  on their, their iPad is like play a coloring game
• 26:15
  or play ABC mouse. You know, they're not allowed to
• 26:18
  watch YouTube. Um, they, you know, they have no apps
• 26:21
  on their, their iPads unless I downloaded it for them.
• 26:26
  I played the app first. I see what's in it. Um,
• 26:30
  But I, you know, number one, I'm raising my kids
• 26:33
  to be kind people who are productive members of society. Okay.
• 26:37
  I don't need my children to be, you know, people
• 26:40
  who are just going to feed off of others and
• 26:43
  use other people. And, you know, if somebody holds the
• 26:46
  door open for you, you say thank you.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: If you're walking through the door first, you hold that
• 26:51
  door open for that person. And if they don't say
• 26:53
  thank you to you, that's okay. You did the right thing.
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: Mm-hmm.
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: And that's the number one thing that Sergio and I
• 26:59
  are doing. And then I would say, as your kids
• 27:03
  get older and to the parents, you know, I see
• 27:05
  all the statistics. We have these seminars and we hold
• 27:09
  these conferences and things for the foundation. And the statistics
• 27:13
  are really, really frightening. But I can tell you that
• 27:15
  if you're talking to your child every single day, no
• 27:18
  matter how old they are, if you're picking them up
• 27:20
  from school or they're coming home and you say, how
• 27:23
  was your day? Who did you talk to? Who'd you
• 27:25
  sit by at lunch? You know, what did you learn?
• 27:27
  Just make conversation. Even if they don't answer you or
• 27:31
  you get a one word answer, they know you're there.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: They know that.
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: When that time comes and they need to talk to you,
• 27:38
  that you're willing and able to talk and you're ready
• 27:42
  to listen to them. And I always tell parents that
• 27:46
  that day that you don't ask might be the day
• 27:48
  that they really, really needed you. And then, you know,
• 27:52
  the thing that I hear so many of the experts
• 27:55
  say is it is a non-negotiable for when your kids
• 27:58
  get a cell phone or a tablet that has cellular
• 28:03
  capabilities and what goes on that cell phone or that tablet.
• 28:07
  Like I said before, you have to know exactly what
• 28:10
  apps they're putting on there, exactly who they're talking to.
• 28:13
  And so many of these apps are designed to predators
• 28:16
  to prey on young people. And the algorithms are not
• 28:19
  there to help kids, but only to hurt them. And
• 28:22
  all the statistics show that the use of social media
• 28:26
  and then the rise in bullying is creating a higher
• 28:30
  level of depression, anxiety, performance in school is going down,
• 28:34
  and all that can be you know, helped if, if
• 28:38
  we just do a better job of regulating what our
• 28:40
  kids are being exposed to, because they're just kids, they're
• 28:43
  going to grow up. They don't need to see all
• 28:45
  the things that they're seeing right now.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: Well, that's great advice. And I think the ugly foundation
• 28:50
  is absolutely a great legacy that you're going to leave.
• 28:53
  Cause I think that's really very important. And you raised,
• 28:56
  you mentioned it earlier about, you just even like, I
• 28:59
  thought last year when Arch Manning wasn't doing so well
• 29:02
  and I would read the comments and Thank goodness he
• 29:05
  has a good family around him. Anybody else? Those are
• 29:07
  like some of the most vicious things I've ever seen. So, yeah,
• 29:10
  I really think you're doing a great job. Well, we
• 29:14
  have with us some ladies who would like to also
• 29:16
  ask you some questions. And they are our Zoomer moms.
• 29:19
  So welcome, Zoomer moms. Welcome to the Moms Club. Ladies,
• 29:24
  I'm going to introduce each one of you. Tell us
• 29:27
  a little bit about yourself, where you're from, and do
• 29:29
  you have a question for Angela? Joy, welcome to the
• 29:32
  Moms Club.
• 29:33
  Speaker 8: Thank you so much for having me. I am Joy Sillman.
• 29:36
  I'm in Dallas, Texas. I am a recent empty nester
• 29:41
  of two boys, 19 and 23. And Angela, thank you
• 29:45
  so much for sharing your story with us. My question
• 29:50
  really is, How have the values your parents instilled in you,
• 29:55
  such as kindness, compassion, generosity, shaped your approach to motherhood, leadership,
• 30:00
  and giving back?
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: Well, Joy, thanks so much for being here and for
• 30:03
  your kind words. I mean, my parents were incredible parents,
• 30:09
  and I was so blessed. I am so blessed to
• 30:11
  have them. And they, as you just mentioned, they taught
• 30:15
  me to be kind to everyone. It didn't matter, you know,
• 30:18
  what that person was doing, if they were able to
• 30:21
  do something for me or if they weren't. You know,
• 30:23
  you would treat everyone with kindness and respect. And they
• 30:28
  taught me that, you know, nothing is given to you
• 30:31
  in life. You have to work hard for anything that
• 30:34
  you want. And as I, you know, grew up and
• 30:38
  I became a student athlete, a college athlete, and then became,
• 30:42
  you know, a professional journalist, and was working in front
• 30:46
  of a camera on television, speaking to millions of people,
• 30:49
  I used all of those skills that they taught me.
• 30:52
  And I realized that I'm not on camera and all
• 30:57
  these people can't see me if I don't have my
• 30:59
  field producer, my producer in the truck, my audio tech,
• 31:04
  all these different people. And I need to treat them
• 31:07
  with a lot of respect and just thank them for
• 31:11
  everything that they're doing for me. because it's a team
• 31:14
  effort to get this TV broadcast up. And I think
• 31:18
  no matter what you do, no matter what your career is,
• 31:20
  you need to remember that because you just don't know
• 31:23
  when that person who's maybe making your hamburger one day
• 31:27
  might be your boss the next. And they're going to
• 31:31
  remember the way that you treated them. And even again,
• 31:33
  if they're never somebody who can do something for you,
• 31:36
  you can still be kind to them because they're Everybody's
• 31:39
  going to remember a smile. And if somebody's having a
• 31:42
  bad day, I think that I always try to remember
• 31:45
  just giving someone a compliment, giving them a smile might
• 31:48
  completely change their day around. And when it comes to
• 31:51
  parenting the kiddos, I mean, that's exactly how I'm trying
• 31:53
  to raise them. Obviously, not everyone is going to wake
• 31:56
  up and be happy every day. We're all allowed to
• 31:58
  have an off day. But I just try to remind
• 32:01
  them that we're really blessed and that, you know, we
• 32:06
  can always do something for the people around us. And
• 32:10
  that's always going to be something that, you know, makes
• 32:12
  you feel good inside. And it's just the right thing
• 32:15
  to do. Yeah.
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: Beautiful.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: Rebecca, welcome to the Moms Club. Tell us a little
• 32:20
  bit about yourself. And do you have a question for Angela?
• 32:24
  Speaker 6: Perfect. Rebecca Cowan.
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: I'm from Chicago, Illinois, tech and media executive. I think
• 32:30
  that concept of leadership lessons coming from both motherhood and
• 32:34
  golf is kind of the center of whom I am.
• 32:37
  And so I love to hear how much sport and
• 32:41
  competition sits at the center of who you are and
• 32:44
  what you bring to the table.
• 32:45
  Speaker 6: So much of that is missed as the wife of
• 32:48
  a golf pro. I think you really stand on your own.
• 32:50
  It's quite impressive. It's lovely to hear.
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: Um, Not to mention, however, we're big Sergio fans. We'd
• 32:56
  love to see him win the Masters in 2017.
• 32:58
  Speaker 6: We were rooting for him. So congratulations on that big win.
• 33:03
  And a little PSA, because you're so into golf.
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: I was just introduced to LEGS, which is Ladies Executive
• 33:10
  Golf Society.
• 33:11
  Speaker 6: And I'm starting the Chicago chapter.
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: Here in the golf time period.
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: We're trying to really strengthen that community where women can
• 33:18
  thrive on and off the golf course.
• 33:19
  Speaker 6: So A little shout out to the Moscow.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely.
• 33:22
  Speaker 6: As well as Angela. If you're in Chicago, we'd love
• 33:25
  to have you at one of our events.
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: But for purpose of this conversation, I love celebrating women
• 33:30
  who show up with heart and purpose.
• 33:32
  Speaker 6: You certainly embody that.
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: My son played golf through high school, went to Catholic school,
• 33:37
  so was introduced to access service early.
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: So I'm grateful for that. But your family travels the world.
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: You compete at the highest of levels. And you're deeply
• 33:47
  involved in service and advocacy. So how do you help
• 33:50
  your kids stay grounded while growing up in such a
• 33:53
  public and unique environment? And then how do you encourage
• 33:57
  those acts of service at a young age to ensure
• 34:00
  we're kind of infusing that into the next generation?
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: Great question.
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's such a great question. And I love Chicago,
• 34:07
  so I definitely want to come check that out the
• 34:09
  next time I'm there. Just to hit on something that
• 34:13
  you said originally earlier, There's a reason why I support
• 34:17
  junior golf and, and I mean, Sergio as well, but
• 34:19
  I'll speak for myself because of the things that junior
• 34:22
  golf teaches kids. It teaches you honesty, integrity. And, and
• 34:27
  as I said before, you know, it teaches you just
• 34:29
  a lot of life skills, hard work, you know, in
• 34:31
  golf teamwork is maybe not the biggest lesson that you're
• 34:35
  going to learn, but, but I think just being around
• 34:38
  others is always a good lesson. And then the kids
• 34:41
  that we see that are our junior golfers that we
• 34:44
  support through our, you know, foundation and our different endeavors.
• 34:48
  These are kids who they look you in the eye
• 34:50
  when they talk to you, they write you handwritten thank
• 34:52
  you notes, you know, to say thanks for the things
• 34:55
  we're doing for them. They take their hats off when
• 34:57
  they go inside, just, just, you know, I feel like
• 35:00
  life skills that are being lost today that I think
• 35:03
  would just make the world a bit of a better
• 35:04
  place if, if more and more people would do things
• 35:07
  like that. And then to answer your question about the
• 35:10
  acts of service, I mean, It's so important. It's so important.
• 35:15
  Our kiddos, they have been to events that we host.
• 35:19
  They know that we have the foundation. I'm fully planning
• 35:24
  on having them at, for the first time ever, the
• 35:27
  whole night at our foundation event because it goes really
• 35:30
  late in the night. And that's going to be funny
• 35:33
  to see our son, you know, dancing on the dance
• 35:36
  floor at midnight, but he'll be there.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: And, and, you know, during the, the holiday season, you know,
• 35:43
  we're always doing, doing the things that we can, um,
• 35:47
  you know, getting presents for others. You know, you can
• 35:49
  do the, the adopt a family, the salvation army, angel tree,
• 35:53
  things like that. I make sure that they, um, you know,
• 35:56
  we'll go and pick an angel and then we'll take
• 35:58
  them to the store and we'll, um, you know, buy
• 36:01
  the gifts for, for whomever it is that we're shopping for. Um,
• 36:04
  at Thanksgiving, we, you know, we've taken food and, and
• 36:07
  donated it. Um, just little things like that. I think that,
• 36:11
  that kids can see, you know, helping others. Um, but
• 36:15
  it doesn't even have to be that big. I mean,
• 36:18
  my kids on so many different occasions, they'll, we'll walk
• 36:21
  away from a situation and they'll say, wow, mommy, you
• 36:24
  were really kind to that person and you didn't even
• 36:27
  know them. You know, mommy, you asked that person if
• 36:30
  they needed help and, and, you know, You don't know that,
• 36:33
  you know, just little things like that where they see
• 36:36
  you setting the right example. And one of my biggest
• 36:40
  things and, you know, we're all guilty of this, but
• 36:43
  you have to watch what you say and what you
• 36:45
  do in front of your kids. And that means all
• 36:48
  the time. You can't be sitting there, you know, saying, oh.
• 36:52
  Sally's dress was hideous today. And gosh, what was she
• 36:56
  thinking with her haircut? And I might be talking to
• 36:59
  my husband and my kids are sitting over in the
• 37:01
  living room. They're hearing.
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: They can hear you. Yes.
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: That I'm saying. And then they go to school and
• 37:07
  you get a call from the principal that, you know,
• 37:09
  your daughter said somebody looked, you know, whatever today.
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: Not nice.
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: And you're like, oh my gosh, how could you do that? Well,
• 37:16
  what a hypocrite you are.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: Or you're watching a sporting event and you're yelling at
• 37:20
  the referee, you suck, whatever. And then you go to
• 37:23
  a sporting event and your kid yells at the referee,
• 37:25
  you suck and you're terribly embarrassed. Well, it's your fault
• 37:28
  because you yelled that, you know, the last time you
• 37:31
  were watching a sporting event. So just be careful, you know,
• 37:33
  be cognizant of what you're saying and what you're doing
• 37:36
  in front of your kids and set a good example.
• 37:39
  And I'm sorry, I know some parents are going to say, oh,
• 37:41
  that's so hard and that takes a lot of effort. Well,
• 37:43
  you're a parent. And that's what you need to do.
• 37:46
  That's what it takes. Just do the right thing.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: That's very good. That is very good parenting advice.
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: It's very good advice.
• 37:53
  Speaker 7: And I'll tell you when we're done with this, a
• 37:55
  very unpopular rule I did with my kid.
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: But we'll wait for the questions to be done.
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: Oh, I can't wait to hear.
• 38:02
  Speaker 7: Oh, wow.
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't wait to hear that either. I will
• 38:05
  say from my experience as a baseball mom, some of
• 38:07
  the worst places to set an example for your children
• 38:11
  is a baseball field as a parent. Yelling at the
• 38:14
  umpire that he's blind, that he's this, that he's that.
• 38:17
  And then expect and your kids in the dugout playing
• 38:20
  and you're out there hollering horrible things.
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: You've lost your mind.
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: It's not good. You got to parents out there. Get
• 38:27
  it together. Sharon, welcome to the Moms Club. Tell us
• 38:30
  a little bit about yourself. And do you have a
• 38:32
  question for Angela?
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: Angela, thanks for having me on the show today. I
• 38:36
  appreciate it. My son also played golf in high school.
• 38:43
  He didn't go into college, but he played against Jordan
• 38:45
  Speed in a regional tournament.
• 38:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it was pretty cool.
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: That's awesome.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: So I was one of those moms that liked to
• 38:50
  yell and scream. So golf kind of, you know, made
• 38:54
  me calm down because you can't.
• 38:55
  Speaker 5: Really do that on the golf course.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: You know, I noticed that you and Sergio launched a
• 39:05
  new podcast, Sergio Unscripted. And I did watch some of
• 39:10
  those and I thought it was pretty cool. I really
• 39:13
  liked the one where you showed your closet. Oh, my gosh.
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: I'm like, to have a closet like that is like
• 39:20
  a dream. How do you.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: feel about you know opening the curtain into your family.
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: Life like that and well what a great question, Sharon.
• 39:31
  First of all, you can come hang out with me
• 39:32
  in my closet anytime. Um, the only, the only thing
• 39:36
  I regret about that closet is that I didn't put
• 39:38
  a champagne bar inside of it. I don't know. I don't,
• 39:43
  but it's okay. We can get past that. We can
• 39:45
  always bring a bottle of champagne and some glasses in there. Um,
• 39:50
  I mean, so, so it's actually our, it's our new
• 39:53
  YouTube channel and it's super exciting. It's definitely also terrifying,
• 40:00
  you know, to, to put yourself out there. And especially
• 40:03
  when you're people like Sergio and me who, who are
• 40:06
  super private, we, we've been approached so many times to
• 40:10
  do so many different things. You know, whether it be
• 40:14
  just a magazine article that's going to be like a
• 40:17
  photo shoot spread that's, you know, in your home or wherever,
• 40:20
  or it's a television show. You know, we've been approached
• 40:24
  to do a couple of different television shows, and we
• 40:27
  just have never really wanted to open ourselves up to that.
• 40:32
  I think that, you know, we all know Sergio already
• 40:35
  is opened up to a lot of criticism and anybody
• 40:39
  that's a public figure puts themselves out there. But for
• 40:43
  for us, the YouTube channel is really something that is
• 40:46
  a lot of fun. Like we just were doing it
• 40:49
  for fun. You know, no matter what anybody out there
• 40:51
  is saying or thinks, oh, why would they do that?
• 40:54
  You know, blah, blah, blah. I mean, first of all, sorry, but,
• 40:58
  you know, we didn't do it. because of your opinion,
• 41:00
  but we did it because it gives us an opportunity
• 41:02
  and an excuse to spend more time together playing golf,
• 41:05
  which is something we love to do together. And then
• 41:09
  it also gives us the chance to have some of
• 41:11
  our closest friends who are near and dear to our
• 41:14
  hearts on the show to compete and for Sergio to
• 41:17
  hang out with them and just for people to kind
• 41:19
  of get a better insight to our lives when it
• 41:23
  comes to golf and then Sergio's golf game and I'm
• 41:26
  so blessed because I can have a lesson from Sergio
• 41:28
  Garcia anytime I want, but not many people can say that,
• 41:32
  you know, so you can go now on the, on
• 41:34
  the YouTube channel and you can get a lesson from
• 41:37
  Sergio anytime you want. And actually the first thing that
• 41:41
  we launched the Garcia unscripted and y'all are the first
• 41:43
  people to know this. So how exciting was kind of
• 41:45
  like a beta thing for us. And now Sergio is
• 41:48
  going to, going to be starting Sergio Garcia golf, which
• 41:51
  is just going to be like the long format, golf
• 41:55
  sort of challenges and competitions. And he's got a really
• 41:58
  cool one that he, he came up with himself that
• 42:01
  he's going to start doing and that's going to launch
• 42:04
  and you're going to see some cool guests on, on there.
• 42:06
  And we're really excited about that.
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: That's great.
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: I can't wait to see that. That is exciting.
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: I love that.
• 42:13
  Speaker 7: So I have to tell you that when we talked
• 42:18
  about phones and we talked about social media and, And then, Angela,
• 42:22
  you mentioned parenting. It's your job to parent and to
• 42:26
  step up to the plate. As I told my girls,
• 42:29
  I have friends.
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: I'm your mother.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 42:32
  Speaker 7: And now as they're older, we are closer to friendship,
• 42:37
  you know, every day. But I will tell you, when
• 42:40
  they were your children's ages, or not even your kids
• 42:43
  are too young, but when they started getting phones, I
• 42:46
  would not allow them to use their phone while I
• 42:48
  was driving them. And because it is a really good
• 42:52
  time to captivate their attention. You are not their Uber
• 42:56
  driver and it's time for you guys to, you know,
• 43:00
  even if they don't say anything or you're listening to
• 43:02
  a song, but like you said, if you just ask
• 43:04
  him those questions, they know that you're there. So thanks
• 43:08
  for pointing that out. And that made me think of,
• 43:10
  you know, how I tortured them with no phone on
• 43:13
  the way home from whatever, but, um, I would do
• 43:16
  it all over again because yeah, it's not, it's not
• 43:20
  the time to do that.
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: That is a good idea, actually, because.
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: I love that. I, you know, I love that because,
• 43:27
  you know, a lot of times, a lot of times
• 43:28
  what you use the car for too, as a mom
• 43:31
  is to hear what they're talking about, like, okay, what's
• 43:34
  going on in the school. So it's a, the car
• 43:36
  can actually be a good time. And if they're all
• 43:39
  sitting on their phone, you're right. That's, that's not, that's
• 43:41
  not good.
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: Sorry.
• 43:43
  Speaker 5: Would you input, would you like make their friends do
• 43:45
  that as well?
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: I did.
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: And, and it's, I was not popular.
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah. She's very unpopular.
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: How they're all hanging out at my house now.
• 43:54
  Speaker 7: But yeah, I wasn't really concerned with that, but you know,
• 43:58
  and of course it would absolutely, you know, they would
• 44:02
  be horrified that I would do that.
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: But, you know, I did it often and I think
• 44:08
  it worked for the most part. And if they didn't
• 44:10
  put their phone.
• 44:11
  Speaker 7: Away, I would pull over. Now talk about, I'd be like,
• 44:14
  I got all day.
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 44:16
  Speaker 7: So yeah, not the, listen, I'm not very nice.
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah. We're not, when she's driving me, it's the same thing.
• 44:25
  I have to put my phone away.
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: It's very strict about all of that.
• 44:28
