- 0:05Speaker 1: media accounts? Well, let's ask our American mamas.
- 0:20Speaker 2: And joining us now.
- 0:21Speaker 1: Our American mama is Terry Neediville and Kimberly Burlison. Okay,
- 0:24Speaker 1: y'all both have social media. I don't think Kevin does.
- 0:30Speaker 2: I don't think. I don't think I've seen Mike does
- 0:32Speaker 2: he have social media?
- 0:33Speaker 3: He does, but he's mostly a gamer on his phone games.
- 0:37Speaker 2: All right, so he's not really involved.
- 0:39Speaker 3: No, no, all right.
- 0:40Speaker 1: So do they have access to your social medicause both
- 0:44Speaker 1: of y'all are very active on social media?
- 0:46Speaker 3: They he could. I don't care. He knows my passwords, okay,
- 0:49Speaker 3: you know, and sometimes he's gotten in my phone because
- 0:51Speaker 3: he's looking for something and it doesn't bother me. I'm
- 0:54Speaker 3: sure you probably do feel the same way.
- 0:55Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't mind at all. I'm just thinking I
- 0:57Speaker 4: don't remember my password. I had to change it a
- 0:59Speaker 4: couple of time. So if i'm out, if I get
- 1:01Speaker 4: out of Facebook somehow, I don't remember.
- 1:03Speaker 3: You're excited if he can get into it, Yeah, if.
- 1:05Speaker 4: He can figure it out, figure it out, but he'll
- 1:08Speaker 4: say I'll show him like, you know, look at this
- 1:11Speaker 4: with this. There's a time here that I was like,
- 1:12Speaker 4: just get a just get your I'm telling you you'll
- 1:15Speaker 4: have fun.
- 1:15Speaker 2: You'lleah.
- 1:16Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
- 1:16Speaker 4: He's like, that's I'm not interested at all. If I
- 1:19Speaker 4: need to know something, I'll ask you. And so, yeah,
- 1:22Speaker 4: I would have zero problem with him looking at my Facebook.
- 1:25Speaker 3: Have y'all seen that TikToker? So this guy he walks
- 1:28Speaker 3: in malls or he's at like State Bears or whatever,
- 1:31Speaker 3: and he stops couples and he asks that they're a couple,
- 1:33Speaker 3: and then he says, how long have you been together? Yes,
- 1:36Speaker 3: he's seen it, and so I've seen it where they've
- 1:38Speaker 3: been together for two years but also married couples like
- 1:40Speaker 3: twenty five years. And he'll say, do y'all trust each other?
- 1:43Speaker 3: And they'll like, oh yeah, absolutely absolutely. He goes, would
- 1:45Speaker 3: you give me your phone so I can see do
- 1:47Speaker 3: that test? And you always in the ones he shows,
- 1:50Speaker 3: there's one that just has that look on their face
- 1:53Speaker 3: like oh gosh, so and always there's one like oh yeah,
- 1:56Speaker 3: here you go. So he looks at their phones and
- 1:59Speaker 3: he starts whatever he does. He starts scrolling through things
- 2:01Speaker 3: like the apps, like apps, He'll go through apps and
- 2:04Speaker 3: he'll say who is Travis and he'll and the husband
- 2:08Speaker 3: will say what. So you see where things fall apart
- 2:12Speaker 3: right in front of your eyes on these little tiktoks.
- 2:15Speaker 3: And I have been shocked at the number of people
- 2:17Speaker 3: that are not doing the right thing, that are talking
- 2:20Speaker 3: to other people behind their person's back.
- 2:22Speaker 2: That's wow.
- 2:23Speaker 4: And or they'll be on that on a dating app
- 2:26Speaker 4: that's for cheaters, and that is devastating to the person
- 2:31Speaker 4: that's like, you know, in fact, some of them have
- 2:33Speaker 4: broken up at that at that moment.
- 2:35Speaker 2: Moment the spot. I would think if you had a
- 2:38Speaker 2: dating app che your phone, yeah, that would be it. Yeah,
- 2:41Speaker 2: you know what.
- 2:41Speaker 3: I think one of the signs and people have talked
- 2:44Speaker 3: about this if you have your cell phone and your
- 2:46Speaker 3: spouse and you go to look at their phone and
- 2:48Speaker 3: they like act weird, like what are you looking? What
- 2:50Speaker 3: do you want? Why do you want my phone? That's
- 2:52Speaker 3: a red flag.
- 2:53Speaker 4: You know.
- 2:53Speaker 3: If if my husband wanted to look at my phone,
- 2:56Speaker 3: he can look at it anytime. There's my phone, open it.
- 2:58Speaker 4: Do whatever. Kevin and my kids use my phone all
- 3:01Speaker 4: the time. They'll grab it to get photos and stuff
- 3:03Speaker 4: all the time. It's like the family phone, you know.
- 3:06Speaker 1: Actually, just the other night, Wendy picked up my phone
- 3:09Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, a Group met text comes
- 3:11Speaker 1: in and she goes, wait, you're on Group me, and
- 3:13Speaker 1: I go, actually, it's the Alter Ministry group up at church.
- 3:17Speaker 1: They're asking for prayers for people, and so I have that.
- 3:21Speaker 1: I don't like Group me, but I'm on that because
- 3:23Speaker 1: of that, And sure enough comes the next thing comes in,
- 3:26Speaker 1: Would you.
- 3:26Speaker 2: Pray for this guy? He's got that? And she's like, oh, no,
- 3:28Speaker 2: that's fine. But I was like, that's like an app
- 3:31Speaker 2: she didn't know I had, but she had my phone.
- 3:34Speaker 2: I don't care.
- 3:34Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, all right, So let me ask another question,
- 3:37Speaker 1: because Wendy and I about the time that she saw
- 3:39Speaker 1: the group Met thing come up, we had this other
- 3:41Speaker 1: conversation about bank accounts, about having separate bank accounts. Do
- 3:47Speaker 1: you think couples should have separate bank account I mean,
- 3:50Speaker 1: if they should be able to have access to everything
- 3:52Speaker 1: on their phone, does that include the bank account.
- 3:54Speaker 3: We always had a separate bank account for many years
- 3:58Speaker 3: while I worked, and then when I stopped working, we
- 4:01Speaker 3: had a joint checking account. We deal with money very differently,
- 4:05Speaker 3: and it is not easy. I'm freer with money, huh,
- 4:09Speaker 3: you know, with sending it to the kids if they
- 4:10Speaker 3: need something, and he is tight. Yeah, and so this
- 4:14Speaker 3: is interesting. This just happened this week. So Shane was
- 4:17Speaker 3: texting me Mom, I need some money. Can you send
- 4:19Speaker 3: me some money? And she's like, I'm scared. I don't
- 4:21Speaker 3: want to ask dad. I don't want dad, you know.
- 4:23Speaker 3: So I'm texting her, Yes, I'm just gonna send you
- 4:25Speaker 3: some money. Just don't say anything. The only time in
- 4:28Speaker 3: my entire marriage that Mike has wanted to she had
- 4:31Speaker 3: sent me pictures and said, oh, Shane sent me the
- 4:33Speaker 3: cutest pictures. He goes, let me see.
- 4:35Speaker 2: I was like, oh gosh.
- 4:36Speaker 3: So I handed my phone and he goes, can I
- 4:39Speaker 3: read the messages? And I went sure, here we go,
- 4:41Speaker 3: Here we go, and he reads the messages and he goes,
- 4:44Speaker 3: are you kidding me? How much did you send her?
- 4:46Speaker 4: Oh? My god?
- 4:48Speaker 3: The one time?
- 4:49Speaker 4: The one time. Yeah, that is hilariously.
- 4:53Speaker 2: So if that had happened in them all with the guy, yeah.
- 4:56Speaker 4: That's what you'd be worried about. Just don't show them.
- 4:58Speaker 2: The one with my kids.
- 5:00Speaker 4: Yeah, we're her husband's so freaking tight. I don't know,
- 5:04Speaker 4: you know, because we've we've had a joint ever since.
- 5:06Speaker 4: But I mean, you might as well just sit it's
- 5:08Speaker 4: Kevin's because I'd say, Hey, I'm gonna I would like
- 5:11Speaker 4: to buy a new rug? Is that okay with you?
- 5:12Speaker 1: You know, that's how it is, you know, for Wendy Night,
- 5:16Speaker 1: it's always We've always had a checking account. When we
- 5:18Speaker 1: were first married, she was the one who managed all
- 5:20Speaker 1: the money, and then, uh, now I'm the one who
- 5:23Speaker 1: manages all the money. And I don't remember why that
- 5:25Speaker 1: switched or when that switched, but it definitely switched. But
- 5:28Speaker 1: we've always had a joint checking account. But we've always
- 5:31Speaker 1: discussed big purchases together. Yeah, so we've always had the
- 5:36Speaker 1: same mindset about money. So that's been a little bit
- 5:38Speaker 1: easier for us. But we've had several friends who had
- 5:40Speaker 1: separate checking accounts and they ended up with separate last names.
- 5:44Speaker 2: Oh god, wow, Well are are we ended in one?
- 5:48Speaker 2: Go ahead real quick?
- 5:49Speaker 4: I was just gonna I don't even know what I
- 5:50Speaker 4: was gonna say.
