- 0:00Speaker 1: We got a question for American Mamas.
- 0:01Speaker 2: Dear Mamas, what is a characteristic of people that you
- 0:03Speaker 2: enjoy being around the most?
- 0:05Speaker 1: Well, let's ask our American Mamas.
- 0:19Speaker 2: And joining us now are American Mamas Taryn Ediville and
- 0:22Speaker 2: Kimberly Burleson.
- 0:23Speaker 1: So what's a characteristic of you guys? Because y'all love
- 0:27Speaker 1: being around each other. I bet we all have the
- 0:28Speaker 1: same kind of thing. What? Humor. Somebody that's funny, no
- 0:33Speaker 1: matter what they lean politically, no matter their upbringing or
- 0:39Speaker 1: how they feel about really anything. If they're funny... if
- 0:44Speaker 1: they are a nonjudgmental, humorous person who can see the
- 0:49Speaker 1: humor in life, because you have to be smart to
- 0:52Speaker 1: actually see. That's why I think comedians are the smartest
- 0:55Speaker 1: among us. But I love someone that has a good
- 0:58Speaker 1: sense of humor with a good heart that doesn't have
- 1:01Speaker 1: that place of judgment where they're mean about it. They
- 1:04Speaker 1: might judge you, but they can make it funny.
- 1:06Speaker 2: What's funny is funny people you just assume are like
- 1:09Speaker 2: that too. Because there's something about funny people. I think
- 1:11Speaker 2: funny people are the most intelligent. I think that you
- 1:15Speaker 2: have to be super intelligent to be able to read
- 1:17Speaker 2: a room, make everyone laugh on both sides that there's
- 1:20Speaker 2: an intelligence factor. But there's also, there's that pushing the
- 1:24Speaker 2: limits that I love. When I'm around people that are
- 1:27Speaker 2: like super, super sweet, it feels so syrupy and fake
- 1:29Speaker 2: to me. And it just, I am not like, you know,
- 1:32Speaker 2: I'm like, ew. But if you're like a super classy
- 1:36Speaker 2: person and you cuss a little, I freaking love you.
- 1:40Speaker 2: There is just, there's something about when somebody just like
- 1:43Speaker 2: lets something slip that I'm like instantly. I like, I
- 1:47Speaker 2: like her. Cause it reminds you of your sister.
- 1:49Speaker 1: But there's just something that irreverent.
- 1:53Speaker 2: Is that kind of silly? Or do you, I mean,
- 1:55Speaker 2: do you know what I'm saying?
- 1:56Speaker 1: No, I totally know what you're saying. I think that, um,
- 1:59Speaker 1: That's why I think Leanne Morgan is so popular. Okay.
- 2:02Speaker 1: She's funny in that way that she can say something
- 2:06Speaker 1: that's kind of irreverent and that we can all relate
- 2:08Speaker 1: to about her husband coming to a show and her thinking,
- 2:12Speaker 1: oh God, she's going to make me, he's going to want,
- 2:13Speaker 1: he's going to expect things tonight. I didn't know he
- 2:15Speaker 1: was going to be here. Yeah.
- 2:16Speaker 2: And then you were all laughing.
- 2:17Speaker 1: But I love it when you have somebody that's kind
- 2:20Speaker 1: of like a Pollyanna and you're all talking and then
- 2:23Speaker 1: they come out with something that's a little irreverent because
- 2:25Speaker 1: I do love that humor. My grandmother, the preacher's wife,
- 2:28Speaker 1: had that humor. Ah. And it is my favorite.
- 2:31Speaker 2: 10 o'clock at night, Terry is.
- 2:33Speaker 1: It's bad. It's bad. Yeah, I need to put the
- 2:36Speaker 1: phones away, the kids away. But I'm the same way.
- 2:42Speaker 1: I love when you don't expect it and they come
- 2:44Speaker 1: out with something and everyone's like, what? I know.
- 2:46Speaker 2: I love that. Speaking of cussing, do you remember your
- 2:49Speaker 2: first cuss word?
- 2:50Speaker 1: Yes, I do. Okay, y'all.
- 2:52Speaker 2: Terry and I, we're in high school. I'm a senior.
- 2:55Speaker 1: She's a junior.
- 2:56Speaker 2: We're driving through a neighborhood.
- 2:57Speaker 1: I'm driving.
- 2:58Speaker 2: She's driving and.
- 2:59Speaker 1: It's a car.
- 3:00Speaker 2: No, I'm driving. I was driving. We called it the
- 3:03Speaker 2: turd because that's what it looked like. So I said,
- 3:05Speaker 2: because we were the best, like we did not cuss.
- 3:07Speaker 2: We did everything right.
- 3:08Speaker 1: Didn't drink, didn't smoke.
- 3:10Speaker 2: And I said, Terry, do you ever just want to cuss?
- 3:13Speaker 2: And she went, oh, yeah. I went, you do?
- 3:16Speaker 1: And she went, yeah.
- 3:18Speaker 2: And I said, if you could cuss, what would you say?
- 3:20Speaker 2: Terry came out with the most poetic string of cuss
- 3:23Speaker 2: words ever. I've ever heard in my entire... It was like...
- 3:27Speaker 2: It's beautiful.
- 3:28Speaker 1: You, mother... Just like that. And I....
- 3:33Speaker 2: Couldn't believe it. So I drove up accidentally up on
- 3:36Speaker 2: the sidewalk because it shook me.
- 3:37Speaker 1: Driving on the sidewalk.
- 3:40Speaker 2: I went up on the sidewalk. I had to pull
- 3:43Speaker 2: over because I was dying. I couldn't believe she could
- 3:47Speaker 2: do it. She's laughing so hard. So it wasn't that
- 3:50Speaker 2: long ago that I got a cross stitch made for
- 3:52Speaker 2: her with that whole string of crosswords. Now that's our thing.
- 3:56Speaker 1: We say it.
- 3:57Speaker 2: We say it all the time.
- 3:58Speaker 1: Do you know that when we told, when Kimberly told
- 4:01Speaker 1: our kids that story, I didn't know this until the
- 4:05Speaker 1: season was over, but summer senior year when they would
- 4:07Speaker 1: all huddle up, remember? On three, they would say, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da,
- 4:14Speaker 1: you know, because it flows so easily. If you text me,
- 4:17Speaker 1: I'll tell you what it is because it's like a beautiful,
- 4:19Speaker 1: like I had practiced it in my sleep. It's a
- 4:22Speaker 1: beautiful string of it. But they would say, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da, and
- 4:26Speaker 1: they go, you know, da. And I'm like, y'all said that?
- 4:30Speaker 1: Because it's such a funny thing, but it's one of
- 4:32Speaker 1: those things that when I was able to release this
- 4:35Speaker 1: phraseology of cuss words I was never allowed to say,
- 4:38Speaker 1: it felt amazing. It felt, like, amazing. And then she
- 4:42Speaker 1: died laughing, so that was, like, our thing. But I
- 4:45Speaker 1: have the cross stitch. And when did your parents find out?
- 4:49Speaker 2: Oh, we were grown.
- 4:50Speaker 1: They would have never, like, that was a... Yeah, they
- 4:52Speaker 1: were grown, but they thought it was hilarious. My favorite
- 4:54Speaker 1: thing was to shock my mom. Okay. Mom was the...
- 4:58Speaker 1: do good.
- 4:59Speaker 2: What was her worst word that she said?
- 5:02Speaker 1: Devil.
- 5:03Speaker 2: Devil, devil, devil.
- 5:04Speaker 1: Devil, that was her D word.
- 5:07Speaker 2: Growing up, my dad would say, you dumb bunny.
- 5:09Speaker 1: Yeah, that.
- 5:10Speaker 2: When he really wanted to cuss.
- 5:12Speaker 1: Right.
- 5:13Speaker 2: And the kids were around. He would go, you dumb bunny.
- 5:17Speaker 1: That's actually cute. My cuss word on the tennis court
- 5:21Speaker 1: was always sugar instead of the other S-H. But I
- 5:25Speaker 1: loved shocking my mom. So I would say things as
- 5:28Speaker 1: an adult that to make her go, Terry Ann, Terry Ann,
- 5:34Speaker 1: you know, so we, we, we let her know about
- 5:37Speaker 1: a few things that we did in college. That's the
- 5:39Speaker 1: kind of people you like funny and they're irreverent, fluent
- 5:42Speaker 1: in cuss words. If you'd like to ask our American
