  Speaker 1: different determination.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: It's not.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: What is not possible, It's not possible. It's not possible.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: Well, it depends on if it's family or if it's friends. Okay,
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: let's just say it like that. Like I remember, and
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: this is probably why when we were growing up, if
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: we were allowed to spend the night with somebody, they
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: would take us at five the night Friday night and
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: they would pick us up by ten Saturday morning.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: Amy, that was it.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: That was it, okay.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: And I always like, oh, we were you know, we
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: were just getting started and nope, that's the deal. Well
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: then you become a parent and you're like, what a
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: gift that was, you know, because usually if a kid
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: stays it will be all day and then they might
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: stay that night another night on the weekends. I had
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: this happen all the time. But I also remember we
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: were when we lived in Missippi. I was in seventh grade,
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: you were in the eighth grade. Raleigh Walker and his
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: family came and stayed with us. They were coming in
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: and they were going on to Florida for the beach. Well,
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: they got there the night before. Mom put on a
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: big meal. We had a great time. We had fun
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: with the kids, and then we all had big pilot
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: palettes on the floor in the living room. The next
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: morning we woke up, they were gone, and I was like,
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: oh wait, we're Scott Matt and where's everybody. My dad said,
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: that's the way to do it.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: That's the way to do it.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: So that's what we did if we needed a landover.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: You know, it's like you don't want them to feel
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: like they have to get up and make big breakfast
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: and they can say, oh, we wish I would have
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: stayed there the guests. But inside it's like when when
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: Kimberly and I went to New York just for a visit,
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: we stayed with our cousin Rachel, and how many days,
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: like three or four, I don't know, and we were
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: never there. We we we had a mission first of all,
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: so we were there on a mission. But we saw
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: every single site everything we wanted to see. And Rachel's
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: husband was like, they're the best guests we have ever had.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: We weren't there.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: We took them, woke up. Yeah, then we were. We
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: were went to bed that we are not there. They're
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: working too.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we're trying to stay out of the way. And
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: we were enjoying ourselves too. So that was a free
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: you know, free board for the time that we were there.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: So we didn't want to and we didn't want to
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: interfere in their time. But I just think that if
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: you leave, like Kimberly said, it's kind of like at
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: a party, if you leave the party at a place
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: where people.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Are like, oh man, I wish that.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: I wish they didn't have to leave so early. That
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: was so fun. We got to have them back rather
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: than be the person where they're flicking the light on
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: and off like everybody, Hey, we got to go to bed.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: You know, there's just you have to be.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: Aware of you remember me sharing that friend I used
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: to have that I dropped like a sandbag. Remember that
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: one worst guess I ever had. So when we lived
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: in Utah, you would not believe the number of people
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: that want to come to your home because they want
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: to ski. Sure, so I'm talking weeks at a time,
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: We're having constant guests. We were not wealthy, we were
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: just in our twenties. You know, just fly today. So
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: that's a lot. That's very costly to have people come
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: to your home for a week at a time, all
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: the time in the winter. And to me, I thought
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: if people would come just for a long weekend. But
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: then say, I know, you got.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: A job to do.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: You got work to do, You do your thing. We
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: just needed a place to stay all day every day.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: I can do that. But could they want you to
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: entertain them?
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: No, no, only certain certain people. But that one friend
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: I dropped like a sandbag. Were complained to me. You
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: fit into people's lifestyle if they wake up there, if
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: you wake up early, fit into their lifestyle.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Right. No, I get that, absolu, and I try and
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: do that when I when I travel somewhere new, I
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: want to fit into the culture that's that's there. And
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: households have their own cultures. So yeah, you do want
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: to try and fit in, and if you don't like
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: their culture, don't stay there next.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: Time exactly for five days exactly. So when you and
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Wendy come to my house.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Weekend, tops, I'm delightful. People want me stay way past
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: everyone everyone else going. They're like that guy. Okay, well
