• 1:37
  Speaker 2: how you know you have a great dealer. And I'm
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: talking about a car dealer right here. Not just a dealer.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Car dealer. So my niece has to get a new car.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: And so I... Hers has 170,000 miles on it. Oh, nice.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: And it's not cooperating. And so what did I do?
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: Called.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: No, I didn't call. Just shoot a text. Shot a
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: text to my boy Pope over there. Copied Jordan and
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: her husband Carter on it and said, here's the deal.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: This is a young married couple. They are on a
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: tight budget. They need a reliable used car. What you got?
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: And they are in the process right now. Awesome. Taking
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: care of some stuff.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Great.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Great. Anyway. It's all about that simplicity. Well, it's the
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: simplicity and it's the fact that I know that I
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: trust them and that I know that they are not
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: going to get taken advantage of.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: They will get a fair, honest deal. Hopefully it will
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: work out. You never know. But I just know that
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: if nothing else, they will have an option with Gateway
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: and they don't have to worry that they're getting... Taking
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: advantage of it. So thanks to Gateway.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: That is what you did also for Kelly.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: And then he bought the truck from Pope, and we
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: bought it on Halloween. So we're coming up on a year.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: How about that?
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: I remember, because we were rushing back in time, trying
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: to quickly buy a truck to get home in time
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: for trick-or-treating.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Trick-or-treating. Okay. Well, we're enjoying, once again, Coppola Shimmer, our favorite.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Because especially in the warm weather, but it's going to
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: start getting cold. We're going to have to start breaking
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: that red out behind you, some of that. I hope
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: we do have some in-between. No, we need to look
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: into that. Like get a little, are you talking about
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: like a rosé or like a Pinot Noir? No, the
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: weather in between. Oh, way more concerned about the wine. Okay.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: But I love a good in-between wine as well.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Okay. Because I thought you were talking about like not
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: so heavy as a cab, but maybe we need like
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: a rosé or a Pinot Noir.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Well, that's actually my wine of choice.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Okay. Rosé? For that reason. Okay. Because it's kind of
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: in between. I love a dry rosé, really dry rosé. Okay. Okay.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Good to know. Yes. I don't like sweet rosé. I
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: don't either. But anyway, whatever it is.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: We should look into that.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: We should look into it.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Because I do hope that we can have some in-between
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: wine that coincides with in-between weather.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: I don't want it to get super cold all of
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: a sudden.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: I know. I don't think it's going to, but I
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: do think it's going to rain balls. A lot.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: I don't wait.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Really? So excited. I just wish they weren't already like, flood, watch.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: I don't want a flood.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: I know. We need in-between flooding.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: We need in-between. We need in-between weather.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: We need in-between drought. Wine.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Um no drought drought flood how about.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: For sure some also a friendly reminder that in to
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: enjoy coppola you must be 21 or older and you
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: must drink responsibly cheers cheers i need this today.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: Okay why do you need it today we say this
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: every show but today i'm putting it out there before
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: you do usually it's me I really need it today.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Mostly just because I really miss doing my hair.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: I know. And it looks really pretty. And look at
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: your nails. I did get my nails done. My public
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: shaming of your nails.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: It worked.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: It worked. Okay. I mean, they were so bad. Like,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: because I had half gel.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: And, well, I guess after you public shamed me, I
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: was like, well, at least I'll try to paint over it.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: But that looked really bad, too.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You did a regular paint job over half gel? Yes. Oh,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: God bless you, Julie.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: It was like similar color. So I just thought like
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: at least from afar, maybe it looked like.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: It was so bad.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: But I finally made it in Sunday. And the lady.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: So I'm close. I have one week from Thursday.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Okay. With this.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: Um, and so it's getting better. And so I was
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: able to like do this and she was really gentle
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: with my hand. Uh, but I did dazzle dry, so
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Know how long it's going to last. I don't even
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: know what that means.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: Um, well, I don't want to always do gel cause
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: it makes your nails really thin.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I always do it on my toes, but not
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: on my fingers.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Toes. It's like constant. I don't ever do just regular
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: polish on my toes.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Oh, see, I do regular and it stays a long time.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Really? Yeah. Maybe I should try. Yeah.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: I don't need to do gel on my toes.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: But this lasts, I mean like my, it will last
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: like A month. Your gel? Yes. So does my regular.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Does it? On my toes.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: My feet aren't doing much.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Okay. I don't know. Even when they are, they're protected
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: in little socks and shoes. Well, sandals and stuff. I
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: don't know. I'm rough. I'm clumsy and rough, and I
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: bump into stuff, and I don't know.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: It's just much better than your hands. Your hands are
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: always doing stuff.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Hands, regular polish lasts like 36 hours.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so just that and then just kids stuff. Like,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: they're fine, but I'm just trying to figure out their lives. Yeah,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: we have a ketchup sesh coming. Yeah, we have a
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: ketchup sesh. I will talk about it at the proper time.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Our home-based ketchup brought to us by our friends at
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: American Home Shield.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: You know what nobody warns you about as an adult?
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: How frustrating it is when your AC stops working.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Or when your refrigerator stops being cold or when your
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: pipes start leaking.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Exactly, which is why American Home Shield makes a lot
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: of sense for homeowners.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: An AHS home warranty can help protect your wallet from
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: pricey breakdowns on even your oldest appliances and systems, like
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: your AC and plumbing. If they can't repair the covered part,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: they will replace it.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: And honestly, before this, I didn't really understand the difference
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: between homeowners insurance and a home warranty. Homeowners insurance covers
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: what might happen, like storm damage. A home warranty covers
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: what will happen, like normal wear and tear.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Same, Julie. Totally different things.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: One thing I really like is that you can get
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: real-time repair help over a live video call to troubleshoot
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: home issues at no extra cost. It's a benefit to
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: select AHS plans.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Which would have saved me from approximately 95 unnecessary panic attacks.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: And that's on a good day for you, Emily. Help
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: protect your wallet from pricey breakdowns.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Check out American Home Shield and get 20% off any
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: home warranty plan at ahs.com slash themomgame. And you can
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: see promo details there as well. See ahs.com slash contracts
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: for coverage details, including service fees, limitations, and exclusions. Okay,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: so what are you trying to figure out about your
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: home-based catch-up? Because it's stuff going on at home. Okay,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: tell me. They're good. Fifth grade is kind of hard.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: And the teachers in fifth grade, which we've been warned about,
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: are so different from the teachers in the younger grades
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: at our school. They're trying to get them ready for
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: middle school in real life. And it's pretty cushy leading
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: up to it. Fourth grade got hard. I mean, it
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: does gradually get harder, but.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. I feel like, yeah. Elementary school for
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: my kids was like, I mean, the most nurturing environment ever,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: which was fantastic. Oh yeah. So ours is more sixth grade.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: I feel like it's more that transition. Okay.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: Our, our school used to go through six, but as
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: of three or so years ago, it's fifth is now
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: the oldest.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: And so they just don't, It's more on the kids
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: to like get their work done. If you're missing something,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: you have to go ask the teacher what you're missing
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: and figure out how to turn it in. And they
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: don't really want the parents like always bugging them.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Which is good. It is good.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: But the hard part is a parent is not knowing
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: what's going on. And so like you see the grades
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: and like Ryder, for example, had three zeros. And I
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: asked him what these are for. And he's like, I
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: turned them in. She just hasn't recorded the grade yet
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: for like two weeks. That's what he was saying. So
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: I'm like, something's got to give here. Do I bug
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: the teacher? Do I ask him to keep bugging her?
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: And then turns out, like, I don't, there's one thing
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: that's missing. Some of it was from when he was
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: out of school with the impetigo. And then one of
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: them was from when he came back and was still
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: a little bit lost, I guess, and didn't do it.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: So there's also something he keeps saying he has to
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: be at school 30 minutes early for keyboarding and it's
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: a grade.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, what are you talking about?
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: They can't require you to be there 30 minutes early
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: and not tell us, which I found out because one
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: of my other friends, she is a hands-on mom, my
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: friend from Spain, they do things different there. And she
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: just does not give an F if it's, if she's
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: not supposed to. She got herself a meeting with all
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: three of the fifth grade teachers and so I was
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: like mooching off of her information okay that's good and
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: so she told me about the keyboarding thing but I
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: think it's just like a it's a probably a common
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: theme with parents it's like how often do you get
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: involved yeah and bug the teachers you want them to
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: do their own thing you want them to learn But
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: you also kind of need to know what they're supposed
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: to do so you can make sure they're doing it.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: And I think that's where I'm, like, a little bit stuck.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: And then Anna is– I'm in the middle of trying
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: to figure out if she has dyslexia. And I'm pretty
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: sure she has ADHD, but I– admittedly like didn't have
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: the time energy to just do the whole thing that
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: I had already done with Ryder. So I was like
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: really hoping, I told Kelly this morning, I was like,
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: I don't think she's going to be cruise control like
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: we were hoping. I was really hoping she would be
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: cruise control and bless her heart. She's like doing great
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: in her, but math has been really hard for her.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: So I already got her a math tutor for this year. Um, and, and, uh, just,
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: I think she definitely has ADHD unless all kids just
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: are the slowest person ever to do anything ever. I
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: don't know, but like getting out the door to go
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: to school in the morning. And now that Ryder thinks
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: he has this fake keyboarding thing, 30 minutes early, like
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: every morning is just a, cause she doesn't, she's as
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: slow as molasses. Like, and she gets distracted by every
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: little thing she sees on the way out the door
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: and Ryder's freaking out. And then it just is like,
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: that's what we're currently trying to work through. Um, so
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: I do think I need to do all the testing
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: for her.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: I need to figure out if.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: She's dyslexic and ADHD, hopefully not both. Um, And she's
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: also GT, which is its own set of challenges.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: So I didn't even know they do GT anymore. Yes.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: I guess.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: And Ryder got in this year for that, too, which
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: has really been a blessing. It's really good, but it's
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: also like.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: They just think differently. And it's great. And they need
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: to be challenged. And when they're not, it's not. Good.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: So it's good and bad. It's not a braggy thing
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: at all.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: I'm just working that in because if she is GT
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: and dyslexic, that's a very interesting and hard combination. If
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: everything comes easy to you, but then you're dyslexic and
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: you're seeing things backwards, it is even more frustrating.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: You're like a perfectionist too. Yeah. GT is gifted and talented. Yeah.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: For those that don't know. I didn't even know they
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: called it that anymore. That was what we had when
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: I was growing up. Yeah. Same.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: I was never it, but that's what it is.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: You were. I was. I mean, it's plain view.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: But you still probably had to take the same test
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: as everyone.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: The pool's a lot smaller there. Yeah. I mean, I'm
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: not putting too much stock in that. Yeah. Yeah.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: It's like a weird test. It's not like, are you
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: really smart? It's like, do you think about things in
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: this out of the box way?
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Right. I'm sure. I don't know if my kids were
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: in it or are in it or. I feel like.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Now they're like national. They do like National Honor Society
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: or National Junior Honor Society and National Honor Society. And
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: so that's grades based. That's grades and community service, I
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: feel like. I don't know. That's good.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And I'm jealous that your kids, it seems like no,
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: or like, have you ever tested them for anything?
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Are they just clean slate? No, I haven't. I mean.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: I'm just jealous. I gave him a COVID test once. No,
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: I'm just kidding. No, we haven't. We haven't.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: Well, if they're fine, you don't really need to.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: No, I mean. I just, I feel like everyone in my,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: my generation. Fuck off. My generation. Jesus Christ, you're like
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: eight years younger than me. I can take it.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: Everyone in my generation is like overanalyzing our kids. And
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: maybe back when you were younger.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Back in the 1900s. Yeah, maybe y'all just didn't. Maybe
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: the tests hadn't come out yet. Yeah, he would come
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: home and struggle with his. math and I'd be like,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: just rub some dirt on it, kid. You're going to
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: be just fine. Yeah. Yeah. But they're fine. They're fine.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: They're fine. Okay. And this is probably not a great thing.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Our parenting philosophy, literally, I think from the moment they
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: were born is like, let's just ride this out. Let's just,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: if it's not broke, don't fix it. Let's just, we've
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: done that with, you know, a lot of people are like,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: are y'all going to go to private school? And we're like,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: we're great in public school. TA takeover. Who cares? Like it's,
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: everything's great. So I'm like, we're just like, we're just
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: going to ride this thing out until something smacks us
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: directly in the face. Yeah. And which it will, whether
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: it's having to do with school or learning or social
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: shit or other kids, whatever it's, it's gonna, we're going to,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: we're going to take one right between the eyes. I
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: have zero doubt, but so far they've been school wise.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: They've been, they've been fine. I mean, you know, Henry
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: had that point. where he went and saw a therapist
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: for a while for dealing with like some anxiety. And
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: he's still, you know, but now he knows he's so,
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: I'm so proud of him. Like he knows how to
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: talk his way through it. Basically. He'll be like, Oh,
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: I'm feeling anxious. And you know, he'll take some deep
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: breaths and like, you know, you're okay. And he's like,
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: I think he's just learned that like, this is part
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: of his personality, just having being God bless him somewhat
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: like his mom. that he's just going to have to
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: find ways to cope through it. So, so far, so good.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Like I said, I mean, it's like we're going to
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: take one right between the eyes at some point. Yeah.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Probably sooner rather than later. Well, and they're all going
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: to be fine. Yeah, they're all going to be fine.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: They're all going to be fine. And then here's the deal.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: This is what I was going to tell you with
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: fifth and third grade, right? Yeah. Like, you want to
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: stay on top of things. You want to do– obviously,
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: you want them to pass their grade, like advance. Yes.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Other than that, like I'm realizing it's just– let those,
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: let those grades ride. Like let those, this time ride
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: and figure things out. You know, now I'm kind of
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: on Henry because I'm like, now you're a freshman, like
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: shit really starts to matter. But like, even with Hattie,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: I've been like, I want her to take this like honors,
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: the most advanced math. And she was like, mom, I don't,
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: I'm not good at math. Like, why are you making
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: me do this? And then I'm like, why am I?
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: So you're right. No, you don't have to, if you,
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: you know what you're, you know what you, and they
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: kind of gauged to see where they would be. And
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: she would, it would have been a constant struggle for.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: And I want her to, I want to push her,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: but I'm like, is the seventh grade really the time
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: to be like, we're really going to dig in and
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: dive into these algorithms and numbers and whatever. It's just,
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I feel like maybe I'm seeing that
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: now the older, I wish I would have been a
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: little less concerned about The grades. Yes, you need to
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: learn about, you know. Like just the habits. How she's
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: learning and all that kind of stuff. But yeah, I mean,
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: give your kids and yourself some grace in elementary school.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Like it's going to be okay. I know. And that's
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: kind of what the teachers say. If they get C's
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: or B's or whatever. You're like, let them figure it
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: out now when it doesn't matter. Exactly. But at the
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: same time, like you got to learn how to. make
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: sure you don't have zeros. Absolutely. And turn in stuff
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: like those are the things that matter. Yeah. And so, yeah.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: But I mean, I, I, I just feel like I,
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: I probably put too much of an emphasis on that
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: early on. And now it's just like, I'm not really concerned,
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: but with Henry, I am, I'm like, you, you realize
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: like this stuff now it's all going toward your GPA.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Like you are in high school now, like all that
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: kind of stuff. It really matters. So now it, It
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: really does matter.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: But I feel you. I'm sorry. Oh, it's fine. Well,
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: I know. You know, you get through one, then there's
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: the next, and then the next. I know. I know. Well,
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: keep us posted on sweet Anna. I will. She's great.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: She's fine. But if she's struggling, I need to figure
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: out how to help her. Yeah, you just don't want
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: it to be like a constant struggle for her. She
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: told me she wanted to go to play therapy. So
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: now I'm like, okay. She want to go to what?
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: Play therapy.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Oh, what's that?
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: It's therapy, but it's like they play. Ryder did it
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: for a few years and every once in a while
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: she would go with him just cause so they could
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: work on their sibling stuff.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: Um, and now she's saying she wants it. So I'm like, okay,
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: girlfriend's actually telling me to take her to therapy. So
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: I guess I need to, you know, so I know,
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: I know more stuff on my list.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: I know, I know, but we'll, we'll figure it all out. Um, okay.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: You want to do a little, do you have.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: Anything to catch up about?
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Not really. Well, I will, I'll have some news in
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: the next week or two. Um, Yeah. Some job news.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: Nothing will change with the mom game. But yeah, I
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: think I have another opportunity that I'm excited about. It's
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: not television related. It's not baseball related, but it is
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: insurance related, which is what I've been doing for the
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: last four years. So not quite ready. It's not official official,
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: but I am having to go through processes like uploading
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: your degree or your transcript. Oh, my gosh. Don't have
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: any idea where my degree is. I wouldn't either. I
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: think it's at my dad's– my dad's, like, in their barn,
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: which is probably ruined. So I had to order a transcript. Oh,
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: my gosh. From tech. And then, like, asking for just stuff.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I haven't done this in a really long time. Yeah.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: That's probably very interesting.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: It's very– it's different. It's different, but, um, I'm excited
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: about it. I will fill, fill you and everyone else in, uh,
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: in a week or two. Um, yeah, that's about it.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: We did have a, a couple of fun events. Oh yeah.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah. No, we can talk about them here. I'm going
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: to get my gift.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: So, um, it is breast cancer awareness month.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: No, it's not.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: It will be in October, which is coming very soon. Well,
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: by the time the show airs, it will be OK,
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: I knew we were close. So we had pause on that.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: We had us.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: We emceed an event last week for Susan G. Komen
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: out at Vaccaro Golf Club. It was really fun. It
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: was a beautiful event. And they raised 160,000 plus dollars. Um, and,
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: and so that was fun to be a part of. And, um,
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: there was another Susan G Komen event just this past
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: weekend out at the Kendra Scott store in.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: South Lake that, uh, we were happy to help.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: Kind of launch and be a part of as well
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: with our friend joy at Susan G Komen. And, um,
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: At Kendra Scott, you weren't able to make it.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: No.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: We were each able to pick out some jewelry from
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: the Kendra Scott color bar.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: So they said, do you want to just pick out Emily's?
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: You know what she would want, right?
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: And I was like, yeah. Oh, here we go. Here
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: we go.
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: So I got to make you some earrings from the
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: Kendra Scott color bar.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: They're so lovely there at Kendra Scott.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: Let's see.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: Oh, these are cute. They're the exact same ones that
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: I got. Oh, my gosh.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: I thought you needed a little bit of me in
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: your life.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, that is very sweet. They're these cute little hearts. Yeah.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: They're very sweet.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: They're simple, understated.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: But they're a heart.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: They are.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: I didn't know if you would ever pick a heart.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: It means you love me.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: It does mean I love you.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: I love them for Hattie. I knew it. I knew it.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: She is going to love these.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: I was like, Emily needs to wear some hearts around.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: It will only be good. I have one pair of
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: heart earrings that I will wear. And they're the ones
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: that Corey Green gave us. And you know why? Because
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: they're like, they're like different. They're like not traditional hearts. Right.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: They're different. But I do love these. Look, I'm wearing
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Kendra Scott today. You are.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: And it's kind of the same.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: It's the same premise. I just am not. I don't
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: have a heart. Just don't. Hearts and me don't get along.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: That's why I got you a heart. Because you think
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: I need two of them. I thought you needed a heart.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: That's very sweet, Julie.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: And I want you to wear them.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: It's very sweet. And think about me. I will wear them.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: And having a heart.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: When I see you, I will wear them. No. They
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: are very cute. We all know. I have a very
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: interesting style. Yeah, I'm trying to help you out. And
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: it's called Plane. But that is very sweet. And they
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: are lovely. They are lovely. That was very kind, Julie. Okay.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: It was very sweet. Well, I just thought you could
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: use a little bit of me. I know. And love.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: In your ears. And heart. Yeah. And Julie in my ears.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: I knew it. I knew it. Very sweet. I knew
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: you'd give me that. Very sweet. Okay. I mean, I
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: love Kimmy Scott. Like, look at me. You do love
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: Kimmy Scott. I'm wearing them like unprompted.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: Well, I was kind of like, just hoops. I know
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: she's got those. It was like maybe some black.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: But it was busy and the lady was kind of like,
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: so I was like, just make the same ones as me.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: And I thought maybe.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: You know, I know. I just, I have a very
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: unique plain style. I know.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: I'm wearing.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: But it always looks great.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Today I'm wearing a white top. I like that necklace. Okay.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: My mother-in-law gave this to me. I would have never
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: in a million years purchased this. Okay. And this bracelet. Yeah.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: So she, Nettie, my mother-in-law, is the best gift giver
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: because she will buy me stuff that I would never
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: buy for myself. Yeah. But that I feel like, okay,
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: if Nettie bought this, she's got really good style and I,
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: like I want to be. That's exactly what I just did. Yes.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: I'm not married to your son. Okay. Let's keep this straight.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: um so yeah so today I'm wearing a necklace and
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: a bracelet like this is a lot for me and
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: earrings I also battled with this like is this neckline
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: right for this necklace like these are the things I
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: think about I know when I put on jewelry like
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: it I don't know it's god bless it's hard it
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: is I got dressed and then as I left I
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: was like.
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: These fabrics don't go together like I was like green
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: and black that'll be fine it's fine but I think
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: you I think the.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: Fabrics matter I know. It's too much. It's too much.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: It's too much.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: I need to maybe just go to black and white.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Maybe it's easier. No, it's not. You look
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: pretty in colors. Well, thanks. Yeah, you do. Like hot pink.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: Can you imagine being hot pink? Yes, I think you'd
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: look great.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: I saw Jasmine in red the other day in something
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: she posted, and it looked so good.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: Really? Yes. Not that I'm surprised, Jasmine. Not that I'm surprised.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: But red, usually with her hair color, you would think
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: you wouldn't wear red. I know. But she looked awesome
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: in it. She looked hot. I need to see it. Okay,
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: we need to get you some sports. Are you ready?
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Sports courts brought to us by our friends at Texas Live.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: And speaking of Texas Live, you can catch every Dallas
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: football game at Texas Live with more than 140 screens,
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: 22 bars, eight dining experiences, mechanical bull riding, my favorite
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: at the PBR nightclub, plus live music. Every night you
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: can visit TexasLive.com. No, excuse me. It's Texas-Live.com. to reserve
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: a table, watch the game on their 100-foot screen right
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: next to the stadium. So basically, if you're looking for
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: a party spot, whether it's watching games, riding bulls, anything
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: that is going on day or night, no matter what
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: day of the week it is, there is always a
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: party going on at Texas Live. Okay, you want to
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: start with the Cowboys? Yeah. Bless. Bless. It was a
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: great game. It looked like they won. Did they not?
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: They did not.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: I left for the last few minutes because I figured.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You got this under control. Yeah. It looked great. No,
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: they did not. But I will say it was. Actually,
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: I left for the last, what, 45 seconds? Or seven. Yeah.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Seven seconds.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: I left for the last seven seconds.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: You're telling me that something happened? It did. Yeah. I
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: will say, though, dude, that was a highly entertaining game. Yeah.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: Back and forth. You know. Yeah. Big plays, but it
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: sucks to be on the losing end of something like that.
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: Right, because you can do so much good.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: I know. It would have been such a different feeling.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: So many positives. Yeah.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: Big plays.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: Game of inches. Well, and what everybody's yapping about is
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: the fact that they had a chance to score a touchdown.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: They were like first and goal from the two after
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: a pass interference call. And then they can't punch it in.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: And on the third down play, Dak basically just threw
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: it away because he didn't see what he liked pre-snap.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: And it just was, it just like, go fucking try
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: to win the game.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: And so they basically settled for overtime. And then, you know,
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: you think that Baltimore's just going to run out the
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: clock and they're not. They, you know, Lamar Jackson just
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: blinged a pass right down the middle into soft ass
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: coverage and Their kicker nailed it. One big play. Yeah.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: And a big kick. And a huge kick. 56 yards. Yeah.
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: And so it comes down to like a shoddy, you know,
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: like not being gutsy and being scared and all that.
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: And then the debates like, well, Dak is he's been
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: around long enough. He should have overwrite whatever the head
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: coach says at that point.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Makes you kind of wonder like why.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Just say like, OK, that's cool. That's cool, coach. If
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: I'm going to do that. And then if you see like, OK, no,
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: George Pickens is going to the outside, not the inside. Right.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: The read was on the inside. Yeah.
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: You call the audible.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: You go. Yeah.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna hammer it in there and he can run
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: and get it.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: I know but running though does is scary because they
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: didn't i don't know if they i think that they
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: may not have had a time out so they could
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: have run out of time which that would have been
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: even worse because then you don't even have a chance
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: to tie the game right so it's almost like they
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: were in a they had to pass situation if i
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: remember correctly i don't know i didn't i didn't take
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: game notes um but anyway just super disappointing um you know,
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: a big difference between two and one and one and two.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: How can you imagine that?
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: Like, cause they were in Brazil, that flight home and
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: travel and everybody's all pissed off. Did you see the poster?
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: And did you hear Dak talking about the picture of him? They,
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: I guess they had a bit, the big, like the
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: people in Brazil, whoever made it, it was like caricatures
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: of Lamar Jackson and Dak, like up, it was this
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: big giant poster. And they asked him after the game,
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: or maybe it was the day after, after he'd cooled down, like,
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: what'd you think of that?
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: And he was like, it was terrible.
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: He was like, it didn't look like me at all.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: I did notice somebody had posted like that he was
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: laughing at it or something when he saw it.
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like it didn't. And he was like, it didn't
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: look like Lamar either. And I always like, I always
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: think about like, oh, there's some guy over in Brazil
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: that was like his one job.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: And he felt so good about this big moment.
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: And then Dak himself is like, it was horrible. And
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: he apologized. Dak was like, I'm sorry, but it was bad.
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: You know, and so you want him to be real
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: and all that.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: But I was like, oh. And then the field.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: Conditions and everything else, what everyone was bitching about.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: And I don't know.
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: Do we need to be going all the way to
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: Brazil to play a football game?
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know. During the regular season? During the regular season.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: Throw a preseason game over there.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: They don't care in Brazil if it's preseason or regular season. No,
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: they don't. And they don't care if Dak plays or
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: Lamar plays. Like, if you want to throw your scrubs
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: out there. Yeah. I don't know. There's got to be
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: a better way.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: It's a lot because the NFL schedule is so tight
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: anyways and so regimented.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: Right. You feel like if you're playing internationally, you should
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: almost get a bye week the next week. That should
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: be where you're by. I mean, any normal human would
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: need some time to recover.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: Without playing football. Right. For sure. So. So they're one
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: and two and then they play.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: Which is such a big difference.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: It just feels so different. I know. But the rest
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: of the division isn't exactly lighting the world on fire.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: They have a couple like easier games, I think. Um,
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: I'm forgetting who they play.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: Same. Um, are you looking it up? Yeah. Um, Oh, uh,
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: the Texans. Oh, that's right.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: They're in Houston.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: Um, at least I don't have to travel far, but still. Yeah.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: The Texans are Owen three.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: So we'll see.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah. It is a close game.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: Close game.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: In proximity. Yes. Okay, college football stuff. A couple of
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: big ones over the weekend. Yeah. Texas pulls it out
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: against Tennessee. I was hoping it wouldn't. A little bit. Well,
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: it's hard for me. You know how I feel. I know.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: But here's my deal. Like, they're obviously a very good
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: all-around football team. Very good. What are we doing with
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: these celebrations? Oh, I know. Like, the one guy, I mean,
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: five sacks. You're freaking lighting the world on fire. And
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: then you decide to pretend like you're pissing on the field.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: Which is obviously going to get like a call. And
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: then the fact that the ref was like 15-yard unsupportive
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: line contact for simulating going to the restroom or something.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: I know. Like, okay. Then did you see the other
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: guy who pretended like he wiped his balls and then
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: smelled it and passed out? What are we doing? Disgusting.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: It's awful. Like, hey. Guys, you're good. Like, you are good.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: You are the number one team in the country, and
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: you are legitimately good. Why are we doing... Why do
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: we have antics like this? Like, what are we doing?
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: I guess maybe that's because they are the number one
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: team in the country, and they think that they can
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: get away with stuff, and.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: They're feeling a little too cocky. I don't know.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: It's very odd. Like, I get dumb penalties or whatever, but, like,
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: these are premeditated. This... You... Somewhere, you sat... With your
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: friends or by yourself and thought, you know what I'm
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: going to do? I get five sacks. I'm going to
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: pretend like I'm whipping it out and taking a piss
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: on the field. Oh, yeah, you are. You know what
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: I'm going to do? I'm going to pretend like I
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: wipe my balls and smell it and pass out.
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: That's probably really what the conversation was. Like, I'll one-up you,
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: It's disgusting.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: I think Texas needs to start having like a clearance house. Like, okay,
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: everybody tell me your ideas. What are we doing this
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: week if we celebrate? I'm going to tell you if
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: it's a yes or a no. Who in their right
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: mind thinks this is going to be a good one?
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: I don't know. It's just going to be great for
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: my teammates. No one else is going to notice. This
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: is just going to be fun for us. Go do
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: it in the locker room or something. I know. It's
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: also really gross, and I think that's what guys do.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: Smell their balls and pass out? Maybe they don't pass out,
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: but I think that they probably do. Do you think they...
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: I disagree vehemently. You think guys are just taking a
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: swipe down there and sniffing it like Mary Catherine Gallagher? Yeah. Really?
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: This is fascinating. I think maybe. Sound off in the comments, everyone.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: No.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: I feel like. I think it's a gross guy thing.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: They can already.
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: I think it's always like sweaty and sticky down there.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: Right. They're always having to touch and shuffle around and. But, like, okay,
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: prime example. Like, let's just say, like, I... Chafing and
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: all this stuff. Yeah, you go to Six Flags, right?
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: It's in July. You're going to get swamp ass. Mm-hmm.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: There's no way I'm doing anything to try to see
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: what's going on down there. You think these guys are
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: just doing it? I think they're interested in what's going
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: on down there. I am... These are freaking gross. They are,
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: but are they that gross? Yes. Yes. Well, that's discouraging.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: I know. Okay. Well, let us know. Are you Team
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: Julie or Team Emily here?
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: And if you're a guy, you can tell us anonymously
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: if you do that.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: How are they going to tell us anonymously? We won't.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: Just vote in our poll. Okay. Oh, here's the poll
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: this week. Attention, gentlemen. Do you swipe your nuts and
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: smell them? I guess you don't have to pretend like
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: you're going to pass out. No.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: No.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: Just the first two steps. Swipe and smell. Do they swipe?
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: Do you swipe and smell? Do you swipe and smell? Okay.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: If not, do you just swipe? What are you doing
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: if you're just swiping?
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: Just like clearing things out.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: Ew, but with your bare hand? Yeah, guys are gross. Julie,
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know what's happening at your house. Nothing at
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: my house. I just think guys are gross, man. I
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: think they're gross, too. I think that this is a
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: total injustice to men that we're just putting this on
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: them because they're gross. Let us know in the comments. Okay.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: In our poll. In our poll. Okay, let's move on. Oh, wait.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: Any other college notes? Mizzou lost. Mizzou lost. Ole Miss
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: got shithoused by Florida. Tech won. They are not looking
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: all that solid.
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: A & M lost again. They're losing a lot.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: A & M got less Oklahoma.
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: Losing Oklahoma is like out.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: I know. Out of the picture.
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: I was real excited. And we had a really close
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: game against Mississippi State. I was watching that one and
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: watching the end of it. And our quarterback, Austin Simmons,
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: who I guess used to be the quarterback at Ole Miss.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: And now he's at Mizzou. He's really good. And he's
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: really smart.
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: Like he had like already graduated college with some crazy
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: GPA or something.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: And somehow he's our quarterback. I don't know. I don't
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: ask questions. I will accept. There we go.
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: I will accept your services.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: You're talking to the queen of don't ask questions at
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: their university. Just be cool. Come on in. Yeah, let's go.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: Just be cool. Yeah, just be cool.
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: And, uh, and he's really good. And I was texting
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: my Mizzou friends, like, I really like our quarterback. And
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: then this last drive of the game, we had to
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: go down and score basically. And he threw like almost
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: three interceptions. Like this went through people's hands.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: And I was like, damn it.
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: I think that particular, um, in that moment in a
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: big game, maybe that's what he's not prepared for. And
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: then our coach too, there was a lot of back
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: and forth with like our coach. Did he call the
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: right place? And we blew that game against Mississippi state
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: and we were ranked above them.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: In the SEC, and now we are not. I just looked.
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: We're at 25. We're still in the top 25.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: Who was the other quarterback you hitched your wagon to?
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: Oh, gosh.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: You're not the most trusted quarterback. No, I'm not. It
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: was really wishful thinking. No, it was the Cowboys.
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: Trey Lance.
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: It was Trey Lance. I wanted Trey Lance to happen.
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: Well, listen, it could still happen. Look at freaking Casey.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: I know. 38 years old. And I will be.
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: 50 years old somewhere, like, yes!
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: Yes. I was right. I was right. Trey Lance is it.
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: He's going to get the call someday from some desperate team.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: Maybe he will. Maybe he will.
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: But the Case Keenum thing was really cool.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: Super cool. Yeah.
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: He seems like just a great dude.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. Houston, or, well, Abilene, I think?
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: He's from Abilene.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: Abilene played at Houston. And, like, destroyed at Houston.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: They were really good. They were really good. When he
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: was there.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: And then gets the call and... There's so many injuries
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: right now to quarterbacks in the NFL. I think if
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: you're a quarterback on your couch, you've got to be excited.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, get ready. And had a great game and had
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: his family there, or his little girl. I know. My sister,
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: I talked to her on the way here today, and
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: she was like, did you see Case Keenum's daughter? Yeah.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: I was like, no. And she was so adorable. She was. Yeah.
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: And we could go into the other cute daughter story.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: Speaking of. Okay, and listen. Let me preface this by
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: saying I am not a huge JV fan. But Justin,
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: I don't care. If you are... if you appreciate baseball,
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: you appreciate the career of Justin Verlander. He has been amazing.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: You know, one of, if not the best pitcher of this,
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: of my generation, Julie, not even my generation, it's your generation, honestly,
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: because I think he's probably way closer in age to you.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: But anyway, he put together a brilliant career. He was
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: a thorn in the Rangers side with the Tigers and
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: with the Astros, you know, I don't really know him
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: at all. I don't know if I even spoke to him.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: He just was relatively unapproachable when he was playing, even
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: though Houston was here all the time when he was
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: with them. Anyway, his send-off in Detroit was really cool.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: He made it known that it was going to be
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: his last start in Detroit, and so it was the
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: Saturday before the regular season ended. So he pitches, and
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: then it's time for him to come out, and A.J.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: Hinch starts to go out there, and then... His daughter
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: just beelines for her dad. And once the thing that
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: got me and it also probably is the first time
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: I've ever looked at Justin Verlander is like a human
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: instead of a pitching robot. He looks at her, sees
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: that she's coming toward him and he is sobbing so visibly. Yeah.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: That his shoulders are shaking. He is sobbing. Yeah. And,
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: you know, she runs into his arms and it was just,
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: and he holds her for a good 30 seconds, just crying.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: crying she's probably what she's probably six seven seven yeah
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: okay six seven um have you done to that one
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: yet no scuba i it's like something stinks or.
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: Something i don't know when you say six seven no.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: It's different i just maybe thought of it it's my
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: new hand motion it's old but it's no now it's
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: old i don't even know if this is still a
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: thing anymore whatever Anyway, I think she may be like, yeah,
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: 7'8-ish or something like that. But, yeah, it was a really,
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: really cool moment. And then Max Scherzer had one on
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: the last day of the regular season, last start in Toronto.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: He's wishy-washy. You never know if he's coming back or not.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: But a cool moment with his family and his kids
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: helped him. He probably should just go to the tunnel. Whatever.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: But anyway, really cool moments. Those two guys are two
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: of the best pitchers of the last 20 years. But yeah,
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: that was a really cool moment.
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: It was. It was so it was so cute really
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: cute little kate upton.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: Um yeah i know and then they revisited their love
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: story and how it started by throwing her a ball
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: in the stands and all that kind of stuff um
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: so it's baby sports baby um and then the rangers
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: Womp womp. But really, did anybody think they were going
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: to do anything?
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: We thought they might just stumble in.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: I know. Stumble in and then fall down maybe? I
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: don't know. That whole situation... it was not good for
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: a while.
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: It was like we had to win and then Houston
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: had to lose on the last day of the regular season.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: And we, and then Houston had to win, had to
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: lose and the Rangers had to win. And neither one
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: of those things. Right.
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: It was like the reverse. It was, that's just like
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: a sign.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: I did think it would be so fitting if both
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: teams lost, they finished with the exact same below 500 record.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: And then Houston ended up, Being the one in the playoffs. Right.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: Because they had the tiebreaker. Yeah. And they would have
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: had an 80 and 82 record if they wouldn't have
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: won that last game. I know. But listen, I mean,
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: we all know how the Rangers snuck in in 2023. Granted,
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: it wasn't with a 500 record, but they did sneak
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: in in 23 and made a bunch of effing noise
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: and won the World Series. So good Lord, please don't
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: let that happen. That the Astros win the World Series.
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: They can't. Or even advance. Yeah. Let's go. Yeah. Put
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: them out of their misery.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: No kidding. White socks. So yeah. So baseball season's over.
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: It's not right there. It's not right in Arlington, in
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: my opinion. And I'm obviously not around the team anymore.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: But from the outside, it appears- But it does appear
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: like this team doesn't really have an identity. They have,
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: for lack of a better word, like there's not a
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: lot of soul there, if that makes sense. I feel
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: like the disconnect between, and maybe it's because I'm not
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: in it. So full disclosure, I'm not bashing the team,
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: the organization, but it doesn't feel like there's a connection
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: between the fan base and the team. I feel like
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: it's very zero.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: I watched a lot. I still watch a lot. I
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: still root for them. I'm invested. My friends work there. Like,
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: I love it. I'm still technically an ambassador, like, for
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: goodness sake.
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: It's a me thing.
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: But when it's hard for me to find, I just. Yeah,
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: I know. And that's an issue. It's not just the
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: roster and the front office and the organization. It's the
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: fact that they're hard to find. Yeah. So anyway, they've
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: got some real soul searching to do, especially considering that
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: there could very, very well and very, very likely be
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: a lockout. And it's going to make things even messier
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: for a team like Texas that's in this kind of.
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: Good thing we have the Savannah Bananas.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: They were in town.
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: They were in town. Josh Hamilton made an appearance.
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: Everyone I know is trying to get those tickets, and
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: everyone's talking about them.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: It's crazy.
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: They went to go play the Texas Tailgaters.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so they played three games, I think. Josh Hamilton
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: was the surprise guest in game one, Rafael Palmeiro in
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: game two, and Prince Fielder, our dude, Prince Fielder in
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: game three. Yeah. Yeah.
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: So cool.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: But yeah, that's like. Packed. You can't get those tickets.
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: They were ridiculously expensive. And what does that say about. Well,
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: but also too, the MLB teams play 162. That's true.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: These guys are touring all around and they've got great bits.
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: I just hear more about them than like. I don't
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: disagree with you. And you know. And they have a
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: great product. And it's super entertaining. They have a really
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: great product. One of my friends that went was like,
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: it was so fun.
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: Like so fun.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: Everyone I know that went had a blast. Yeah. Yeah.
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: Once again, though, it was too hard to figure out.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: I just can't.
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: I have zero energy lately for stuff like that. Finding
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: tickets and dealing with crowds and parking and everything else.
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: But it was here, and apparently it was really fun.
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: Yes. Okay, let's get to a little feed stuff brought
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: to us by our friends at Baylor, Scott, and White. Yes.
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: If you are like me, whether you're like me or not,
• 43:36

• 43:39

• 43:43

  Speaker 3: grateful to Baylor Scott and White. They were my doctors

  Speaker 3: when I really needed them.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: And they can help with so many different things. And
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: they're all over the Metroplex. They are. They are. That's
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: where I had my babies. Yeah. Baylor Scott and White. Okay.
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: A couple of fun things to talk about. First, And
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: I wonder where you are on this because I think
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: we're too old lady for this. But Instagram apparently is
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: now letting you blur your boyfriend because apparently showing his
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: face is cringe. So you know the whole deal where
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: you soft launch something, someone, a relationship, and like you'll
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: take a picture of you or they're holding a glass
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: of wine and You take a picture of their arm
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: and one boob and the glass of wine. I saw,
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: I forget who, but like there was like a man's
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: shoe in the frame. Yes. And so it's like these little,
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: it's very Taylor Swift-ish. Very Easter egg-y. Yes. Very, yes.
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: To where it's like, oh, but we're not ready to
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: show his whole face yet. So now apparently you can
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: blur out someone's face.
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: Like is this necessary? It's like an Instagram like editing tool?
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: It's a feature now where you can blur something or someone.
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: out of a picture. What if he's super hot? Um,
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but it's.
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: All about, don't you want to show that off?
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know. It's all about this though, the everything.
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: So we're dealing with it with like, again, like I'm
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: not going to talk too much about my children and
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: their whatever, because they have told me there are certain
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: things I can and can't talk about. But, um, you know,
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: the whole homecoming thing, like I saw a mom venting
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: on Instagram the other day and she's like, So my
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: senior daughter just informed me that they're not going to
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: the homecoming dance. But she still needs a dress. She
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: still needs the flowers and the ribbon and all the
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: things because they're going to take pictures. And then they're
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: going to change out of said dresses and throw away
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: the flowers or whatever. And then they're just going to
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: go hang out. So they're just doing this. And I
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: guess you're doing it to capture the memories and all
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. But it's like, I feel like
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: so much of what we're doing is just geared toward,
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: and listen, I am not, I'm in the middle of it.
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: My kids are in the middle of it. I'm not saying,
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: I'm guilty as charged. Like, I'm not saying like, I'm
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: not doing that. But it's that, it's just like, that's
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: what we're doing. And I guess- I don't know. It's
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: just weird. And so it makes sense that Instagram's like, oh,
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: you want a soft launch? I'll show you how to
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: soft launch. This is how we do it. Right. But
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: then this is my question. Is AI or are there
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: people that are stealth enough out there that if you
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: blur out someone's face, they can figure out who it
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: is anyway? Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I just think
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: that it's just so– my only thing that I worry
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: about with my kids is like it just takes so
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: much energy to like– Right.
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: Well, I feel like the whole pretending like you're going
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: to homecoming and not going to homecoming is strange.
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: And I would probably say, well, then you can pay
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: for this stuff yourself. Because it's lots of money.
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like you can do some chores.
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: You've got to make the sign to ask to HoCo.
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: What's so bad about going to the dance?
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm pretty sure my Henry's going to
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: the dance.
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: Ours was like, I think the dance is like an
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: hour long. Or like an hour and a half.
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: But then there's always the after parties. Right.
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: And that's very much parent planned, at least in our world.
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: Like someone's lake house or all the things.
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I had a friend I
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: talked to yesterday that his daughter is a senior. She
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: invited 60 people, 60, and 350 showed up. Oh my gosh. Yeah.
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: Because word just starts spreading. Like, where's everyone going? Where's
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: everyone going? I mean, granted, they live like kind of
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: out and they have like a barn and you know,
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: they have the capability, but they were not expecting 350
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: kids to show up. That's insane. Yeah. So that's kind
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: of one thing that I'm getting into into high school
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: is like this whole, the after party thing. Right. Like where,
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: where's everyone going after? I mean, at least, I don't know.
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: It's crazy.
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: But then I think what we were doing, I was
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: in a F-ing barn in the middle of a field
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: at 100% with no cell phone, no way if I
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: could have ended up passed out in the middle of
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: two rows of cotton and no one would have found
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: me for three days.
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: Same.
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: Without the cotton.
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: Right. So I need to chill the fuck out and
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: be like, yeah. I know. You know, I'm chilling out.
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, really, I didn't need to. You just worked
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: through that. Well, I mean, but no, it's a great point. Like, okay, ooh,
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: I'm so scared. Okay, I am, but whatever. I'm sure.
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: Once again, it's so different when you're the mom. We're
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: all terrified. I know, I know. It's so different. But
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: I think about the stuff we were doing. Yeah, we
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: were doing.
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: We had, like, parties at people's ranches, and the parents
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: had no idea, and there would be, like, 200 people.
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: We'd hire musicians. We had Django Walker one time.
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: What? We had parties. I met Django Walker. Yes.
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: He went to my high school.
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: He did? He was so sweet. Yeah, you did. Yeah,
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: you told me that. Yeah. That green thing. Yes. But like,
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: not Cory Morrow. They're... I don't know.
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: They all float around Austin, these musicians. And we would
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: like pool money together.
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: Stop it.
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: The boys would all do it. It was like a
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: boy thing. They'd get a whole bunch of kegs. They
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: would go to someone's ranch. And the parents most of
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: the time didn't know that this was happening out at
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: their ranch. And we wouldn't tell our parents where we
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: were going. Somehow we got out for the night. We
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: would put up tents and we'd all spend the night.
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: Okay. That does make me feel better. At least you
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: weren't driving.
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: We had full on like frat parties in college. I mean, sorry,
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: in high school.
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: That's insanity. Holiday co-down, toga.
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: One was a toga party.
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: I mean. Y'all were having legit frat parties. Yeah. We
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: didn't take it up a notch like that in Plainview.
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: It was basically just like, let's all hang around in
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: a barn and drink beer. We did that.
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: That'd just be like a, not the barn, but we'd
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: go to Fields. On like just a Friday night. But
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: like the big parties were twice a year.
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah. We hung out in Anthony's parking lot. I remember
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: you talking about Anthony's. Anthony's parking lot. Yeah. And the drag.
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: We would go from Anthony's to Mr. Burger through the
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: Spudnut Shop and just do the drag. And then every
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: once in a while you'd stop. Sometimes there'd be a fight. Oh, yeah.
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: Sometimes you'd just sit on people's tailgates. Back in the day.
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: That was for the day.
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: Varsity Blue style.
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: It was so Varsity Blue style.
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: We did the golf course a lot. It was a
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: fancy golf course.
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: How did you not get kicked off there? We did.
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: We'd wear our tennis shoes, and then when the cops came,
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: we would just run.
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: God, you were such a rule breaker, Julie. I know.
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: What happened to you? I don't know. I suck now.
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: It's not true. Okay. Well, anyway. Kids, aren't they great
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: growing up so fast?
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: I don't want to be on the other side of
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: all that.
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: I know. I know. But every stage, we've talked about this,
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: every stage has its absolute.
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: High points yeah and absolute scare the shit out of
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: you points yeah so yeah every stage has it.
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: What if you're like you can't tap out that's the
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: hard thing about no no i've tried you're like i
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: know i'm trying it doesn't work start taking your early
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: birds all day.
• 51:17
  Speaker 4: Long you can't you can't do it you gotta suck
• 51:21
  Speaker 4: it up you gotta suck it up um okay speaking
• 51:24
  Speaker 4: of young people on social media, apparently there's a new pose.
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: So this is another thing I've noticed in these homecoming pictures.
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: So glad you can keep us up to date. The pose,
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: they're leaning all the way back and it's like this.
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, are they showing off their boobs? No, no, no,
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: this is different. So that, and I'm like, this is,
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: so there'll be like grabbing onto each other and then
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: they both are going back and then head cut. Hattie
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: does it. It's absolutely a thing.
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: I think I've seen this, yeah.
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: Yes. I could show you a million pictures. What? Yeah.
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: I think I saw this when people were posting dance pictures.
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: So apparently there's a new one that celebrities like Kylie
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: Jenner and all these people are doing where this is it,
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: where you're resting, basically resting your hands on your boobs.
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: So this is the new, apparently the new pose, is
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: to put your hands- You should probably get those nails done.
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: It's your hands. So you put your hands on your boobs,
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: just barely- Touching them. Boob rest. So that's where. So
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: this is it. Should we take our photo like that
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: for this episode? Let's do one. Let's do one. Just
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: for fun.
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: So that's apparently a trend. So keep an eye on that.
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know which one I like less. What's the
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: point of this one? The neck crick thing. I guess
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: something to do with your hands. Poor girls. Seriously. These days. Seriously.
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: At least we didn't have to– we might have been
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: breaking all the rules, but at least we didn't have
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: to deal with social media.
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: This is very true. And then finally, one more quick
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: hit on socials. Speaking of breasts, moms are baking breast
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: milk into family foods to ward off the flu. In
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: or out. Does it work? I don't know. I mean,
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: they say breast milk. Is colostrum like– is there colostrum
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: in breast milk or is that just what comes out
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: in the very beginning? Whatever. I think breast milk is
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: like just like very good for you, period.
• 53:12
  Speaker 3: Period.
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: But I don't know. I mean, I feel like it's
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: designed for babies. But I don't know that I would
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: participate in breast milk.
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: If it really did ward off the flu, then maybe.
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: Dude, it sucks. If I got sick with the flu
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: and somebody said, take a shot of breast milk and
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: you will be cured, I'm definitely doing it. You've drank
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: breast milk before. Of course you're doing it. On the
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: radio for a stunt, not just because I'm weird. I
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: just have to clarify. Yeah.
• 53:40
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: Okay. Yeah, and she's worried about dudes smelling their nut sweat.
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: I think they do.
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: Okay. TMG News Desk brought to us by, this is

• 55:05
  Speaker 2: November 13th, Grapevine Golf Club, followed by a concert at
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: Texas 5. What's not to love? What is not to love? Okay,
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: this one hits real close to home, Julie. Rivals is
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: now charging high school athletes... $ 499 for evaluation and ranking consideration.
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: So do you remember, because were you doing sports early
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: in your career? You didn't ever do sports locally, did you?
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: Did you go straight? Like cover? Like cover sports. I
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: did some high school football games. Okay. TXA 21. Okay.
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: So when I was in Lubbock, so Lubbock, obviously, college town,
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: Texas Tech, we were following recruiting very, very hard. Mm-hmm.
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: And rivals, it's like, what is he ranked? And you
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: hear about this all the time. Oh, he's a five star.
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: He's a four star. Oh, he's only a three star.
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: And my whole question is, and I went on a
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: rant about this in Lubbock 800 years ago. I feel
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: this way about preseason football rankings or preseason rankings of
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: any kind in college. Right. How do you know? You
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: could have eight guys leave for the NFL, but then
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: you're basing it on last year's. You're just ranking these teams.
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: And where you rank them in the preseason absolutely affects
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: where they end up at the end of the season
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: because a team that's ranked number one, if they get
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: beat by an unranked team, they're going to go to
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: 15 or whatever. It's just like a guess. And it
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: doesn't make sense. Same way with these. Who is ranking
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: these high school players? You know what's happening? is these
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: services are getting on phones, or this is what used
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: to happen, used to. I don't know what's happening now
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: with AI and what they're doing. But they would get
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: on the phone with coaches. Tell me about, you know, so-and-so.
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: Tell me about so-and-so. And then, you know, they're like, okay,
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: then they give them these rankings. I mean, so you
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: mean to tell me like these guys at Rivals are
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: like pouring over hours of film and rating these guys
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: based on their performance in the all 22s that they're
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: pouring over every day? Like, I've always thought these rankings
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: were a huge crock of shit. Now, a lot of times,
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: are they right?
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: Because you know what? You know who is studying those things?
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: The college coaches that are recruiting them. So if, and
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: this is what would happen, you know, back in the day,
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: if Texas was on a recruit, you know, like, oh,
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: we really like this guy. Well, automatically, he's going to
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: probably get another star added to his profile because Texas
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: is looking at him. So if Texas is looking at him,
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: then like, He must be really good. Same way with
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: any prominent program at that time. And again, I'm not
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: close to the high school football scene anymore, but this
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: is the way it used to be. And I think
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: it's a complete effing racket. These ratings are ridiculous and
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: these stars and all this stuff. And I just don't
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: think there's any legitimate evaluation that it's based on.
• 57:53
  Speaker 3: How did they get to be the ones to do this?
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: It's a business, right? It's a business. It's a huge business.
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: And now they want to charge $ 499 for people, for
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: kids to get. evaluate.
• 58:07
  Speaker 3: Can we start a TMG ranking business? Sure. And you
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: and I can watch some film and use our platform
• 58:12
  Speaker 3: to advertise your kid and charge them $ 500.
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: But people, we've talked about this a gazillion times on
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: this show. Parents are, and kids are so anxious and
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: so hell bent on getting to the next level and
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: being the guy that it just, they just can't help themselves.
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: They'll just keep doing whatever it takes and paying what.
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: And so they know they're like, We have an audience,
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: a complete audience here. We have a complete market built
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: in of all these parents that are desperate for their
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: kids to move on. You think they're not going to
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: pay $ 4. 99?
• 58:46
  Speaker 3: And there's probably a waiting list.
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's insane. So they say, so Rivals acquired
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: On3 last year. So basically it says that they rolled
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: out a new platform that lets high school athletes pay
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: hundreds of dollars to be evaluated for ranking consideration. The
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: site offers athletes a chance to quote, get evaluated by
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: a rival scout for $ 4. 99, though there's currently a 20%
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: off promotion that makes the price just $ 3. 99. The site
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: promises a scouting report, an evaluation grade, and a ranking consideration.
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: So here's my deal. What were you doing beforehand? Like,
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: weren't you supposed to be ranking and evaluating all this time? Yeah.
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: So now you need 400, 500 bucks to do it.
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: It's just, it's, it's just.
• 59:29
  Speaker 3: So your kid can get noticed.
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: Right. It's just continuing to add to the, the, the
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: insanity that is youth, high school. It needs like a
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: total reset. Everything, college, everything.
• 59:41
  Speaker 3: I wish we could do it.
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: It's insane.
• 59:42
  Speaker 3: I wish that could happen that easily. It's like when
• 59:44
  Speaker 3: my kids are having bad, like the bad behavior that
• 59:46
  Speaker 3: just continues.
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: It's a hard reset.
• 59:47
  Speaker 3: I say like, this is going to be reset week.
• 59:49
  Speaker 3: Like we're not doing screens. We're not having playdates. Like
• 59:52
  Speaker 3: y'all get your stuff turned in. Like I wish you
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: could do that for youth sports. Right. Like we need
• 59:57
  Speaker 3: to start over.
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: Just reset. Cause it's just building. It just, it just
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: keeps getting piles on. Yeah. And then people keep finding
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: ways to capitalize on it. And it's just, it's never
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: going to end.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 3: And there's just like these little kids and guess what?
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 3: They all end up having major anxiety and major like
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 3: issues because their parents like oh mom and dad don't
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 3: care about when I do this or that or this
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 3: or that or when I ask for their attention to
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 3: do this but they're all in about my football career
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: and they're paying extra money you.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: Know insane it really is it's sad and it's crazy
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: and listen I'm not acting like I'm not contributing to
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: it with what we do on our with our family
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: or whatever but I'm damn sure not paying no I
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: damn sure not paying 400, 500 bucks for my kid
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: to get evaluated by a rival scout. Like, what are
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: we doing?
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, ask him like, what are you, how are
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: you evaluating? And I want to know what are their
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: qualifications to evaluate these players? Like, tell me what.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 3: Just some bro dudes probably.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: But is it even bro dudes? Is it, what's your
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: qualifications to evaluate a player? That's what I want to know.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: Tell me your, tell me your qualifications. Let's go to
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: bat with rivals.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 3: All these hard-hitting questions sure on behalf of sports parents
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 3: across america everywhere yeah.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: They're scared they'd be way too scared to come on
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: here well let's clip this off and send it to
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: them okay are you scared uh oh i'm not i'm
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: talking to the camera okay oh she put out a
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: threat rivals uh okay come sit right here one more
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: one more quick hit um before we go so i
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: i just i just copy and pasted the headline because
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: i really didn't need to get into the meat of
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: it but Mom slapped with babysitter's jaw-dropping fee after canceling
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: on her six hours prior. So this is actually a
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: really good topic of conversation. So I'm not in the
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: babysitter market anymore. My kids don't need them anymore. But
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: if you book a babysitter and then you cancel on
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: her six hours before she's supposed to or he is
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: supposed to babysit for you, do you feel obligated to
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: pay her or him something? And I will say this
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: while you think about it. So I'm thinking about this
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: from a– I have situations where people ask me to
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: host an event or whatever. And it's very far down
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: the line, say six months from now. And I will
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: make them pay a non-refundable deposit because I say– To
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: do what now? Like if I'm emceeing an event or
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: hosting an event or something like that. And it's in
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: June and it's right now October. And I'm like, yes,
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: because I'm going to hold that date for you. That
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: means I'm going to plan– everything around that. So it
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: is a, you have to pay half upfront non-refundable deposit.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: And then I'll get the other half after the event.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: And so I feel like it's a similar thing. Now, granted,
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: these are probably teenagers, you know, with babysitting gigs, but
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: I also get it. Like that babysitter could have been
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: asked a couple of other times, like, can you babysit
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: for us? Oh no, I can't. I'm already babysitting for Julie. Yeah.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? So I feel like there
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: should be like a, yeah, you've got to pay half if,
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, or you have a cancellation policy. Like, and
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: I know that seems ridiculous and people will probably be like,
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: you're so dumb, but I also understand where it's coming
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: from or where this babysitter's coming from. And now maybe
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: the full amount, like, That might be a little aggressive, right?
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: Like a little aggressive, the full amount. But also too,
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: I understand like she probably turned on other gigs and
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: then we're like, no. And then she was counting on
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: like I'm babysitting these three kids for six hours. It's
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: going to be 150, 60, 70 bucks for me. Like
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: that's good money. And now I'm missing out on that.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: Like there should be something I feel like.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, probably so.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 2: I don't know. It's different.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 3: It's like high school kids– Unless they're like career babysitters.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 3: I don't know. It's like, would you really be babysitting
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 3: or do you.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: Okay. Now let's turn the tables.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: What happens if the high school kid bails on you?
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: Which happens a lot. Yeah. So it needs to work
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: both ways. Right. So like if you're going to... Okay.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: So maybe here's the solution. If you're going to have
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: this policy in place, you also need to have a
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: policy in place as to what happens if you are
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: not able to baby... If you cancel on the day of.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: I am very much.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 3: to a fault too much of a, just like honor system.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 3: Like you do what you feel is right. They do
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 3: what they feel is right. Rather than making things weird
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 3: with rules.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 3: And I just kind of do that in life and
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 3: to a fault.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 3: I hear, you know, but like, like Anna has, she
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 3: does every once in a while, these private lessons for tumbling.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 3: Cause she's really trying to like move on. And we
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 3: had to cancel one time the day before and I
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 3: paid her the full thing. Cause I was just like,
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 3: that is, that is, she's, that's her job.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 3: And we canceled. And she doesn't have that set in place,
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 3: you know. But I think I'm probably too much.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 3: My house cleaner, for example, cancels on me like 25%
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 3: of the time. And I don't do anything about it.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 2: But I'm just like, okay. You know, I don't know.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: I just feel like sometimes, personally, it makes things too weird.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 3: Or like if I'm texting with a 15-year-old and then
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 3: I like set forth these rules.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: Right. Because then you really just have to go to
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: their mom.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: Like a lot of them, you still pay their mom. Yeah. So,
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, I, I get it. I get where the
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: babysitter's coming from, but also too, like if you're going
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: to have it that way, then you better, you better
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: not cancel. And if you do, you better have a
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: backup plan for me. Right. You know what I mean?
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: Like it's, you're kind of venturing into these waters where
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: I get it. I get where you're coming from, but
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: you better be careful what you wish for. Because if,
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: if you pull this on us, whoops, if you pull
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: this on us and then, you know, the reverse happens,
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: then how do you deal? Yeah. It's not a one-way street. Right.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 3: We're kind of like in the middle phase, too, where
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 3: so like I had one in a situation one time
• 1:05:40
