1
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:04,875
[MUSIC]

2
01:00:07,708 --> 01:00:08,416
Gotta go.

3
01:00:09,791 --> 01:00:12,625
[LAUGH] Yeah, my mom had a really big bell.

4
01:00:13,041 --> 01:00:15,166
Good Monday, no time Tuesday, no time.

5
01:00:15,541 --> 01:00:16,958
That's the way the world works.

6
01:00:16,958 --> 01:00:17,875
Right, right, yeah.

7
01:00:18,083 --> 01:00:19,916
No more, I can't not

8
01:00:19,916 --> 01:00:21,625
have my water run downhill.

9
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:22,750
In fact, I think there's a

10
01:00:22,750 --> 01:00:24,791
famous saying about that, like,

11
01:00:25,208 --> 01:00:27,541
all something runs downhill, like.

12
01:00:27,875 --> 01:00:28,291
No, no, no.

13
01:00:29,208 --> 01:00:30,833
My initials are on it, that's fine.

14
01:00:31,333 --> 01:00:32,541
You're like, get down.

15
01:00:33,125 --> 01:00:34,833
So I'm like, get down.

16
01:00:35,458 --> 01:00:37,125
Like, we're about to be in a shootout.

17
01:00:37,708 --> 01:00:38,875
Hey, Robert, how are you?

18
01:00:38,875 --> 01:00:40,375
And he'd be like, good.

19
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:43,125
Cuz we ain't never home.

20
01:00:43,916 --> 01:00:45,375
Did I just say ain't?

21
01:00:45,375 --> 01:00:45,541
No.

22
01:00:45,708 --> 01:00:48,541
Quote, Taylor Swift, never wield such

23
01:00:48,541 --> 01:00:50,250
power you forget to be polite.

24
01:00:51,083 --> 01:00:53,291
I'm gonna quote Justin

25
01:00:53,291 --> 01:00:54,708
Bieber and say, go love yourself.

26
01:00:56,333 --> 01:00:57,500
A cheers and a high five.

27
01:00:57,500 --> 01:00:57,750
High five.

28
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:01,708
Welcome to the Mr. And

29
01:01:01,708 --> 01:01:02,625
Mrs. English podcast.

30
01:01:03,125 --> 01:01:03,500
I'm Megan.

31
01:01:03,958 --> 01:01:04,416
And I'm Sean.

32
01:01:04,750 --> 01:01:06,708
We're here to talk about the wild ride of

33
01:01:06,708 --> 01:01:08,416
raising kids and growing careers,

34
01:01:08,708 --> 01:01:09,833
keeping life together in

35
01:01:09,833 --> 01:01:10,958
the middle of all the chaos.

36
01:01:11,750 --> 01:01:13,958
So buckle up because we're all in this

37
01:01:13,958 --> 01:01:15,500
crazy journey together.

38
01:01:16,625 --> 01:01:21,333
Tots, la la land, bippity boppity boop.

39
01:01:22,416 --> 01:01:24,333
Is that a new one?

40
01:01:24,333 --> 01:01:24,958
Bippity boppity boop.

41
01:01:24,958 --> 01:01:25,791
That is a new one.

42
01:01:25,791 --> 01:01:27,041
I just made that up right now.

43
01:01:27,041 --> 01:01:27,500
I love that.

44
01:01:27,500 --> 01:01:29,583
I love the Cinderella reference.

45
01:01:29,916 --> 01:01:30,833
Bippity boppity boop.

46
01:01:32,083 --> 01:01:33,500
Yeah, although she's not a boop.

47
01:01:33,500 --> 01:01:35,208
She just goes boop.

48
01:01:35,208 --> 01:01:36,500
And the actual song.

49
01:01:36,708 --> 01:01:37,333
The fairy godmother.

50
01:01:37,833 --> 01:01:39,458
Yeah, just I'm looking at our thing.

51
01:01:39,458 --> 01:01:40,125
Are we centered?

52
01:01:41,166 --> 01:01:41,625
I don't know.

53
01:01:41,625 --> 01:01:42,083
I feel like you're more

54
01:01:42,083 --> 01:01:43,041
to the right than I am.

55
01:01:43,583 --> 01:01:45,500
I feel like I'm closer to you because I

56
01:01:45,500 --> 01:01:47,125
look huge compared to you.

57
01:01:47,125 --> 01:01:48,000
Using a different lens.

58
01:01:48,541 --> 01:01:48,958
Here you go.

59
01:01:48,958 --> 01:01:49,125
Cheers.

60
01:01:49,458 --> 01:01:53,875
Cheers to a rare Wednesday night.

61
01:01:54,250 --> 01:01:54,916
And we're gonna stop.

62
01:01:54,916 --> 01:01:55,583
We're gonna call it out.

63
01:01:55,583 --> 01:01:56,000
It's Wednesday night.

64
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:57,500
Highlights go out tomorrow.

65
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:01,875
We got it in just in the nick of time.

66
01:02:01,875 --> 01:02:02,208
It's busy.

67
01:02:02,208 --> 01:02:02,916
It's actually do it Monday.

68
01:02:03,250 --> 01:02:03,791
No time.

69
01:02:03,791 --> 01:02:04,000
Tuesday.

70
01:02:04,291 --> 01:02:04,666
No time.

71
01:02:05,083 --> 01:02:05,500
Wednesday.

72
01:02:05,500 --> 01:02:06,166
We have some time.

73
01:02:06,166 --> 01:02:07,416
Maybe we can squeeze it in.

74
01:02:07,916 --> 01:02:08,125
Yeah.

75
01:02:08,583 --> 01:02:11,000
And turns out that it was easy to squeeze

76
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:12,583
in because we had a

77
01:02:12,583 --> 01:02:13,708
few cancellations because

78
01:02:13,708 --> 01:02:14,958
we had the rare rainstorm.

79
01:02:15,500 --> 01:02:16,291
Yeah, that was awesome.

80
01:02:16,291 --> 01:02:17,083
Do we get rain here?

81
01:02:17,083 --> 01:02:17,916
I wasn't at the house today.

82
01:02:17,916 --> 01:02:19,041
I was at a different location.

83
01:02:19,375 --> 01:02:19,541
Yeah.

84
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:20,333
We did.

85
01:02:20,750 --> 01:02:21,166
We did.

86
01:02:21,583 --> 01:02:22,000
We did.

87
01:02:22,333 --> 01:02:23,708
So I'm hopeful that we don't have to

88
01:02:23,708 --> 01:02:25,041
water the flowers today.

89
01:02:26,291 --> 01:02:27,250
I know the kids will

90
01:02:27,250 --> 01:02:28,250
be happy about that too.

91
01:02:28,666 --> 01:02:29,666
That is such...

92
01:02:30,791 --> 01:02:33,041
It's a to-do obviously.

93
01:02:33,666 --> 01:02:34,166
Cheers.

94
01:02:34,166 --> 01:02:35,125
I didn't even take a sip.

95
01:02:35,291 --> 01:02:36,458
But I'll sip it when

96
01:02:36,458 --> 01:02:37,291
you're talking, I guess.

97
01:02:38,291 --> 01:02:40,916
It's such a to-do during the summer.

98
01:02:41,166 --> 01:02:42,333
I love having the flowers.

99
01:02:42,333 --> 01:02:43,708
It's really nice to have the flowers in

100
01:02:43,708 --> 01:02:44,625
the front and the back.

101
01:02:44,958 --> 01:02:47,166
But I mean, I don't remember how many

102
01:02:47,166 --> 01:02:48,500
flower pots we have.

103
01:02:49,833 --> 01:02:51,208
But there's a few of them.

104
01:02:51,583 --> 01:02:53,041
Enough that it's not just

105
01:02:53,041 --> 01:02:55,000
a quick dink, dink, dink.

106
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:55,500
We're done.

107
01:02:56,416 --> 01:02:56,666
It takes...

108
01:02:57,166 --> 01:02:58,916
When I do it, it's 30 minutes watering.

109
01:02:59,541 --> 01:03:01,583
The whole front takes me 10, 15 minutes

110
01:03:01,583 --> 01:03:02,500
to get it done right.

111
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:03,791
Then you go to the back.

112
01:03:03,791 --> 01:03:04,708
It's another 10, 15 minutes.

113
01:03:05,500 --> 01:03:07,250
And the kids spend how much time on it?

114
01:03:07,500 --> 01:03:09,333
Oh gosh, five in the back.

115
01:03:09,625 --> 01:03:10,791
Well, they do split it up

116
01:03:10,791 --> 01:03:11,750
among the three of them.

117
01:03:12,041 --> 01:03:13,958
But no, it is a legit 10 minutes.

118
01:03:14,625 --> 01:03:15,708
Although I think I've gotten pretty

119
01:03:15,708 --> 01:03:17,791
efficient on like how I do it.

120
01:03:18,083 --> 01:03:19,833
So I can get it down to 10 minutes.

121
01:03:20,041 --> 01:03:20,583
You've got it down.

122
01:03:20,916 --> 01:03:21,125
Yeah.

123
01:03:21,208 --> 01:03:21,875
It just needs...

124
01:03:21,875 --> 01:03:23,541
It's so high here.

125
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:25,416
If we don't get them watered.

126
01:03:26,333 --> 01:03:28,791
Well, I feel like it's almost like abuse.

127
01:03:29,416 --> 01:03:29,625
Yeah.

128
01:03:29,666 --> 01:03:31,041
Well, and I should mention, most...

129
01:03:31,208 --> 01:03:32,541
A lot of the big pots

130
01:03:32,541 --> 01:03:34,500
are automatically watered.

131
01:03:34,500 --> 01:03:34,750
Yeah.

132
01:03:34,750 --> 01:03:35,500
Oh gosh.

133
01:03:35,500 --> 01:03:36,708
If we had to water those...

134
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:37,375
Yeah.

135
01:03:37,375 --> 01:03:39,541
And then I installed one that was

136
01:03:39,541 --> 01:03:40,791
supposed to work and didn't work.

137
01:03:40,791 --> 01:03:41,500
And I haven't been able to...

138
01:03:41,791 --> 01:03:42,583
I haven't taken the

139
01:03:42,583 --> 01:03:43,791
time to revisit that one.

140
01:03:44,166 --> 01:03:44,916
Because it should water

141
01:03:44,916 --> 01:03:46,208
those new ones in the new pots.

142
01:03:46,791 --> 01:03:48,083
I didn't know that it didn't work.

143
01:03:48,083 --> 01:03:48,625
I just thought it

144
01:03:48,625 --> 01:03:49,791
wasn't fully set up yet.

145
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:52,000
No, it's not working.

146
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:53,041
It's literally...

147
01:03:53,541 --> 01:03:54,375
It's like Amazon.

148
01:03:54,625 --> 01:03:56,583
It's like the last mile of it.

149
01:03:57,416 --> 01:03:58,666
Water comes to the black

150
01:03:58,666 --> 01:04:01,125
tube from back in here.

151
01:04:01,125 --> 01:04:02,416
So if I undo that black

152
01:04:02,416 --> 01:04:04,708
tube, water will squirt out.

153
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:07,291
It's that black tube to the little tubes

154
01:04:07,291 --> 01:04:09,375
that then go up into the pots

155
01:04:09,375 --> 01:04:11,000
underneath, from underneath,

156
01:04:11,500 --> 01:04:12,791
that it's not making it up.

157
01:04:13,291 --> 01:04:13,791
Got it.

158
01:04:14,916 --> 01:04:17,708
So I just don't know if I did something

159
01:04:17,708 --> 01:04:18,916
wrong there and I have not.

160
01:04:19,083 --> 01:04:20,208
It's been four months.

161
01:04:20,208 --> 01:04:21,000
I haven't revisited.

162
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:24,416
So 2026, that will be running so

163
01:04:24,416 --> 01:04:25,500
smoothly, you won't even

164
01:04:25,500 --> 01:04:27,125
know what to do with yourself.

165
01:04:27,458 --> 01:04:27,500
Yeah.

166
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:28,666
That's awesome.

167
01:04:29,125 --> 01:04:30,416
Put that on your New Year's resolution.

168
01:04:30,833 --> 01:04:32,500
I also bought more of

169
01:04:32,500 --> 01:04:33,916
that irrigation equipment.

170
01:04:34,166 --> 01:04:36,208
So the two front trees, I

171
01:04:36,208 --> 01:04:38,083
could water those on their own.

172
01:04:39,458 --> 01:04:39,625
Yeah.

173
01:04:39,625 --> 01:04:41,125
And I have all the stuff to run it

174
01:04:41,125 --> 01:04:42,500
straight to them and I

175
01:04:42,500 --> 01:04:43,083
haven't done that either.

176
01:04:43,583 --> 01:04:43,875
I mean...

177
01:04:43,875 --> 01:04:44,625
I mean, what have you

178
01:04:44,625 --> 01:04:46,041
been doing with your time?

179
01:04:46,375 --> 01:04:48,791
I mean, gosh, I feel like, you

180
01:04:48,791 --> 01:04:50,000
know, you have so much extra.

181
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:51,166
But doesn't everybody have that?

182
01:04:51,166 --> 01:04:52,166
I mean, I go to Home

183
01:04:52,166 --> 01:04:53,791
Depot and buy all this stuff.

184
01:04:53,791 --> 01:04:54,541
Like, I got to do this, I got

185
01:04:54,541 --> 01:04:55,583
to do this, I got to do that.

186
01:04:56,166 --> 01:04:57,458
And I go to Home Depot to get all this

187
01:04:57,458 --> 01:04:59,916
stuff to do it because I'm a DIYer.

188
01:05:00,125 --> 01:05:00,625
You are.

189
01:05:00,625 --> 01:05:01,958
But I think I'm a good DIYer.

190
01:05:02,208 --> 01:05:03,666
You're an excellent DIYer.

191
01:05:04,625 --> 01:05:05,958
And I'll go into that more here and just

192
01:05:05,958 --> 01:05:08,625
say why I say that versus a bad DIYer.

193
01:05:09,500 --> 01:05:12,625
But then I just don't... sometimes I

194
01:05:12,625 --> 01:05:14,000
don't get to it because

195
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:14,958
I need two or three hours

196
01:05:14,958 --> 01:05:16,083
to do something or even

197
01:05:16,083 --> 01:05:17,416
an hour to do something.

198
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:19,708
And to make sure I do it

199
01:05:19,708 --> 01:05:23,000
right, you know, it just sits there.

200
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:25,500
So I've got all these great projects in

201
01:05:25,500 --> 01:05:26,791
the garage ready to go.

202
01:05:27,083 --> 01:05:27,750
Ready to go.

203
01:05:28,041 --> 01:05:28,583
Mm-hmm.

204
01:05:28,583 --> 01:05:32,041
But you're so good at it and you're so

205
01:05:32,041 --> 01:05:33,041
thorough that I think it

206
01:05:33,041 --> 01:05:34,166
takes you longer than the

207
01:05:34,166 --> 01:05:36,125
average... maybe the average person

208
01:05:36,125 --> 01:05:37,250
because they don't...

209
01:05:37,250 --> 01:05:38,541
they're maybe not as meticulous

210
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:40,583
or... I mean, if you're going to do

211
01:05:40,583 --> 01:05:41,958
something, you're going to do it right.

212
01:05:42,666 --> 01:05:43,750
If I can't do it like a

213
01:05:43,750 --> 01:05:45,291
professional, I'm not going to do it.

214
01:05:45,291 --> 01:05:46,000
You won't do it.

215
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:46,500
I'm just not going to do it.

216
01:05:46,500 --> 01:05:47,750
You'll literally hire a professional.

217
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:49,458
I will hire the professionals to do it,

218
01:05:49,458 --> 01:05:51,500
but I am very handy.

219
01:05:51,750 --> 01:05:53,208
Yes. And this is not a pat me on the back

220
01:05:53,208 --> 01:05:54,166
thing, but I'm very handy

221
01:05:54,166 --> 01:05:56,166
and it saved us a lot of

222
01:05:56,166 --> 01:05:56,833
money over there.

223
01:05:57,000 --> 01:05:58,500
Plus, I enjoy it.

224
01:05:58,500 --> 01:05:58,708
Yeah.

225
01:05:59,125 --> 01:06:00,875
I think I've mentioned to you, not on

226
01:06:00,875 --> 01:06:02,416
this show, but when I

227
01:06:02,416 --> 01:06:03,500
put that sump pump in over

228
01:06:03,500 --> 01:06:03,833
here...

229
01:06:03,833 --> 01:06:04,041
Yeah.

230
01:06:04,291 --> 01:06:06,708
And I had to dig down like six feet in.

231
01:06:07,375 --> 01:06:08,500
This whole thing with the hot tub, I

232
01:06:08,500 --> 01:06:08,958
don't know if I've

233
01:06:08,958 --> 01:06:10,125
mentioned it on this show, just

234
01:06:10,125 --> 01:06:13,375
this back and forth and just... just

235
01:06:13,375 --> 01:06:14,833
flooded this hot tub

236
01:06:14,833 --> 01:06:16,000
multiple times because I think

237
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:17,250
we've mentioned it.

238
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:19,500
The builder didn't do it right.

239
01:06:19,875 --> 01:06:20,083
Yeah.

240
01:06:22,166 --> 01:06:25,166
Anyways, plus the irrigation here.

241
01:06:25,166 --> 01:06:29,208
I mean, the land... the land... what is

242
01:06:29,208 --> 01:06:30,375
it called when you get rid of the water?

243
01:06:31,708 --> 01:06:33,166
Oh, oh, like mitigation.

244
01:06:33,708 --> 01:06:34,166
Yeah, yeah.

245
01:06:34,166 --> 01:06:34,375
Yeah.

246
01:06:34,375 --> 01:06:34,958
Like water mitigation.

247
01:06:35,416 --> 01:06:36,875
But I mean, we're on a little bit of a...

248
01:06:37,916 --> 01:06:38,541
you know, our property

249
01:06:38,541 --> 01:06:39,875
is not level, so it runs

250
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:42,000
from, you know, east to west.

251
01:06:42,291 --> 01:06:42,583
Right.

252
01:06:42,583 --> 01:06:43,458
Much to the strength of

253
01:06:43,458 --> 01:06:44,250
our neighbors to the west.

254
01:06:44,250 --> 01:06:44,458
Yeah.

255
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:46,000
And then our water comes to them, but

256
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:46,875
it's like, that's the

257
01:06:46,875 --> 01:06:47,958
way the world works.

258
01:06:47,958 --> 01:06:48,458
Right, right.

259
01:06:48,875 --> 01:06:50,916
Don't know where else to... I can't not

260
01:06:50,916 --> 01:06:52,125
have my water run

261
01:06:52,125 --> 01:06:53,291
downhill to your property.

262
01:06:53,291 --> 01:06:54,416
In fact, I think there's a famous saying

263
01:06:54,416 --> 01:06:56,500
about that, like, "All

264
01:06:56,500 --> 01:06:58,250
something runs downhill."

265
01:06:58,250 --> 01:06:59,750
No, the links.

266
01:06:59,750 --> 01:06:59,791
Water.

267
01:06:59,791 --> 01:07:01,500
All water runs downhill.

268
01:07:01,750 --> 01:07:02,750
But I think the principle

269
01:07:02,750 --> 01:07:04,958
applies to a lot of things.

270
01:07:05,208 --> 01:07:05,416
Yeah.

271
01:07:05,875 --> 01:07:06,083
Yeah.

272
01:07:06,250 --> 01:07:08,916
Anyways, my point to all that was just,

273
01:07:09,625 --> 01:07:11,708
as much as I love doing,

274
01:07:11,708 --> 01:07:13,000
you know, home improvement

275
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:15,083
things, and I really do like, you know,

276
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:17,875
I'm getting tired of the

277
01:07:17,875 --> 01:07:19,500
more manual labor ones.

278
01:07:19,500 --> 01:07:22,625
Like, I'm not enjoying digging dirt.

279
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:24,583
I don't know.

280
01:07:24,583 --> 01:07:26,458
Digging, like, you know, trenches and

281
01:07:26,458 --> 01:07:27,625
digging six-foot holes.

282
01:07:28,500 --> 01:07:29,875
That is starting to wear on me.

283
01:07:30,583 --> 01:07:32,000
And you've had to do quite a bit of it.

284
01:07:32,375 --> 01:07:35,250
I mean, I will say, the engineering

285
01:07:35,250 --> 01:07:36,708
marvel that is the sump

286
01:07:36,708 --> 01:07:38,083
pump that you put in for

287
01:07:38,083 --> 01:07:40,083
this hot tub.

288
01:07:40,458 --> 01:07:41,458
With redundancies and

289
01:07:41,458 --> 01:07:42,000
other pump redundancies.

290
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:45,083
This is after I've already flooded it 18

291
01:07:45,083 --> 01:07:46,458
times, or four or five.

292
01:07:46,666 --> 01:07:48,833
Yeah, pretty sure it's now been the

293
01:07:48,833 --> 01:07:50,208
eighth wonder of the world.

294
01:07:50,958 --> 01:07:53,458
But I'm still not done with it.

295
01:07:53,458 --> 01:07:55,208
This is a prime example.

296
01:07:55,708 --> 01:07:58,166
I've got the PVC in the other garage,

297
01:07:58,916 --> 01:08:00,875
because right now, that sump pump is just

298
01:08:00,875 --> 01:08:01,750
going up out of a

299
01:08:01,750 --> 01:08:03,083
regular garden hose, basically.

300
01:08:03,333 --> 01:08:06,708
So I run that garden hose over to some

301
01:08:06,708 --> 01:08:09,000
other drains that then

302
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:10,708
go to our neighbor's yard.

303
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:12,333
Downhill.

304
01:08:12,708 --> 01:08:13,750
Sorry, there's no other way.

305
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:15,125
I can't put it the other way.

306
01:08:15,500 --> 01:08:16,000
It runs downhill.

307
01:08:16,583 --> 01:08:17,416
It would not go.

308
01:08:17,833 --> 01:08:18,041
Right.

309
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:19,166
Anyways.

310
01:08:19,458 --> 01:08:20,166
Guess what?

311
01:08:20,166 --> 01:08:21,416
We get their water.

312
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:22,416
Yeah, we do.

313
01:08:22,583 --> 01:08:24,291
And it infuriates me.

314
01:08:24,291 --> 01:08:26,625
I can't believe that their water would

315
01:08:26,625 --> 01:08:27,750
run into our yard, even

316
01:08:27,750 --> 01:08:29,000
though they have the higher ground.

317
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:30,500
Our poor neighbors, they did not like us

318
01:08:30,500 --> 01:08:31,333
building this house.

319
01:08:31,333 --> 01:08:32,750
They have a lot of issues with that.

320
01:08:32,750 --> 01:08:34,333
Yeah, the ones downhill from us.

321
01:08:34,541 --> 01:08:35,583
And the other ones left.

322
01:08:36,458 --> 01:08:36,875
They did.

323
01:08:37,166 --> 01:08:39,125
We offended both of our neighbors.

324
01:08:39,500 --> 01:08:40,000
That was a whole story.

325
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:41,916
Crazy neighbor stories.

326
01:08:41,916 --> 01:08:42,541
We can talk about that.

327
01:08:42,541 --> 01:08:43,958
We can talk about crazy neighbor stories.

328
01:08:43,958 --> 01:08:44,333
Oh my gosh.

329
01:08:44,333 --> 01:08:44,750
We don't have anything

330
01:08:44,750 --> 01:08:45,583
to talk about tonight.

331
01:08:45,958 --> 01:08:47,416
So we're just going to

332
01:08:47,416 --> 01:08:49,375
come, whatever comes to mind.

333
01:08:51,375 --> 01:08:52,583
I'm going to finish my story.

334
01:08:52,958 --> 01:08:55,750
I've got PVC to finish that sump pump,

335
01:08:55,750 --> 01:08:57,791
because I want that water to go straight

336
01:08:57,791 --> 01:09:01,458
into the drain and not up out of a hose

337
01:09:01,458 --> 01:09:02,375
that I have to move.

338
01:09:02,916 --> 01:09:04,041
And that the people that move are lawn

339
01:09:04,041 --> 01:09:06,000
move, put it right back there.

340
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:08,916
So if it rains, it's literally pumping

341
01:09:08,916 --> 01:09:10,958
straight back into itself.

342
01:09:12,291 --> 01:09:12,875
Like if you're going

343
01:09:12,875 --> 01:09:13,625
to move it, put it back.

344
01:09:13,916 --> 01:09:14,083
Okay.

345
01:09:14,375 --> 01:09:16,083
What's the definition of insanity, right?

346
01:09:16,791 --> 01:09:18,500
Like a sump pump draining into itself.

347
01:09:18,750 --> 01:09:18,958
Yes.

348
01:09:19,583 --> 01:09:20,875
I think that's the new

349
01:09:20,875 --> 01:09:22,166
definition of insanity.

350
01:09:23,541 --> 01:09:25,333
I love it.

351
01:09:26,041 --> 01:09:26,250
Oh goodness.

352
01:09:26,666 --> 01:09:29,000
So so I guess let's start with neighbors.

353
01:09:29,250 --> 01:09:30,250
That's kind of a cool thing.

354
01:09:30,541 --> 01:09:31,958
Everybody's got a neighbor, right?

355
01:09:31,958 --> 01:09:32,000
Everybody's got a good neighbors.

356
01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:33,416
Everybody wants.

357
01:09:35,708 --> 01:09:37,083
Let's go back to the 80s.

358
01:09:37,375 --> 01:09:37,583
Yeah.

359
01:09:38,500 --> 01:09:38,625
Right.

360
01:09:38,625 --> 01:09:40,500
Or the 70s or even the 50s.

361
01:09:40,500 --> 01:09:41,916
Wherever people go back that far.

362
01:09:41,916 --> 01:09:42,708
What's the life with some

363
01:09:42,708 --> 01:09:43,708
people that listen to this.

364
01:09:43,708 --> 01:09:43,916
Okay.

365
01:09:44,583 --> 01:09:49,291
And I mean, there was a time when there

366
01:09:49,291 --> 01:09:50,333
was the neighborhood,

367
01:09:50,916 --> 01:09:52,125
like everybody got a lot.

368
01:09:52,125 --> 01:09:53,166
I mean, maybe the people didn't get one.

369
01:09:53,166 --> 01:09:54,166
Maybe it was still

370
01:09:54,166 --> 01:09:55,875
neighborhood drama, stuff like that.

371
01:09:56,500 --> 01:09:58,083
But like there was a time when like

372
01:09:58,083 --> 01:10:00,000
Sesame Street was the normal, right?

373
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:02,083
Not Oscar the ground, not

374
01:10:02,083 --> 01:10:03,666
people living in trash cans, but.

375
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:06,083
But the whole neighborhood thing.

376
01:10:06,083 --> 01:10:06,291
Everybody was friends.

377
01:10:06,541 --> 01:10:06,750
Friendly.

378
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:07,166
Yeah.

379
01:10:07,541 --> 01:10:09,583
Well, and even in my lifetime, I grew up

380
01:10:09,583 --> 01:10:11,416
knowing my neighbors very well.

381
01:10:11,625 --> 01:10:13,041
I even know some of your neighbors

382
01:10:13,041 --> 01:10:14,250
because you know them so well.

383
01:10:14,250 --> 01:10:14,500
Yes.

384
01:10:14,666 --> 01:10:16,208
At the old, before your parents moved.

385
01:10:16,500 --> 01:10:16,708
Yeah.

386
01:10:17,041 --> 01:10:17,250
Yeah.

387
01:10:17,333 --> 01:10:17,666
Yeah.

388
01:10:17,666 --> 01:10:18,375
Oh, sure.

389
01:10:19,166 --> 01:10:21,083
I bet you know, actually most of them.

390
01:10:21,208 --> 01:10:21,500
Yeah.

391
01:10:21,500 --> 01:10:22,125
And they know you.

392
01:10:22,583 --> 01:10:22,875
Yeah.

393
01:10:22,875 --> 01:10:24,666
Because it's like, that's when you bring

394
01:10:24,666 --> 01:10:26,041
in, you know, oh, I

395
01:10:26,041 --> 01:10:28,000
remember being a kid and our

396
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:29,500
neighborhood, all these peas.

397
01:10:30,041 --> 01:10:30,916
Let's go ahead and do it.

398
01:10:30,916 --> 01:10:31,083
Okay.

399
01:10:31,333 --> 01:10:32,166
So here's your house.

400
01:10:32,375 --> 01:10:33,541
Who's on your, you're on a cultist.

401
01:10:33,541 --> 01:10:35,708
You grew up, you're the last house you

402
01:10:35,708 --> 01:10:36,583
lived in because you live

403
01:10:36,583 --> 01:10:37,916
in a couple, but the last

404
01:10:37,916 --> 01:10:39,041
one in Bloomington.

405
01:10:39,041 --> 01:10:39,458
Yeah.

406
01:10:39,458 --> 01:10:40,083
You want to call it a sack?

407
01:10:40,375 --> 01:10:40,666
Yeah.

408
01:10:40,666 --> 01:10:41,625
You know everybody there, right?

409
01:10:43,083 --> 01:10:43,250
Yeah.

410
01:10:43,250 --> 01:10:44,708
With the, well, with the exception of

411
01:10:44,708 --> 01:10:46,125
like two houses that

412
01:10:46,125 --> 01:10:48,625
kind of changed owners a few

413
01:10:49,000 --> 01:10:49,041
times.

414
01:10:49,041 --> 01:10:50,666
So I may not know.

415
01:10:50,666 --> 01:10:52,250
But when you grew up, when I grew up,

416
01:10:52,500 --> 01:10:53,625
yeah, for the most part, for sure.

417
01:10:54,083 --> 01:10:54,625
For sure.

418
01:10:55,375 --> 01:10:56,250
Like I babysat the

419
01:10:56,250 --> 01:10:57,291
people across the street.

420
01:10:58,625 --> 01:11:02,083
The people next door, the Amists.

421
01:11:02,666 --> 01:11:03,375
Oh my gosh.

422
01:11:03,375 --> 01:11:03,958
And they had a little

423
01:11:03,958 --> 01:11:05,041
girl who was hilarious.

424
01:11:05,833 --> 01:11:07,500
And like, I just remember I was in high

425
01:11:07,500 --> 01:11:08,500
school and she was pretty little.

426
01:11:09,041 --> 01:11:11,083
She was running around the front yard in

427
01:11:11,083 --> 01:11:11,958
the sprinklers in red

428
01:11:11,958 --> 01:11:13,041
cowboy boots and nothing

429
01:11:13,041 --> 01:11:13,291
else.

430
01:11:13,541 --> 01:11:15,291
It was, she's like three, by the way.

431
01:11:15,458 --> 01:11:18,500
Just, just like, it was so funny.

432
01:11:18,500 --> 01:11:18,916
And we're like, oh,

433
01:11:18,916 --> 01:11:20,958
there's Emily or Madeline.

434
01:11:20,958 --> 01:11:21,125
It was Madeline.

435
01:11:21,125 --> 01:11:22,500
That was a good data point.

436
01:11:23,583 --> 01:11:23,750
Yeah.

437
01:11:23,750 --> 01:11:24,208
She was three.

438
01:11:24,875 --> 01:11:25,458
She was troubled.

439
01:11:25,458 --> 01:11:25,958
She went to counseling.

440
01:11:26,166 --> 01:11:29,583
She was 19, but she was on drugs.

441
01:11:29,583 --> 01:11:30,208
It was always weird.

442
01:11:30,500 --> 01:11:33,458
She was just this like free spirit little

443
01:11:33,458 --> 01:11:36,375
toddler who loved red

444
01:11:36,375 --> 01:11:37,666
cowboy boots and not

445
01:11:37,666 --> 01:11:38,000
clothes.

446
01:11:38,666 --> 01:11:41,208
But yeah, one of my brother's best

447
01:11:41,208 --> 01:11:42,500
friends lived there.

448
01:11:42,500 --> 01:11:43,875
I mean, it was awesome.

449
01:11:44,916 --> 01:11:45,166
Yeah.

450
01:11:45,166 --> 01:11:46,250
So I mean, I can do that too.

451
01:11:46,458 --> 01:11:49,666
Like from Black Diamond where we grew up,

452
01:11:50,625 --> 01:11:52,458
one of my best friends, I

453
01:11:52,458 --> 01:11:53,166
think we can say people's

454
01:11:53,166 --> 01:11:53,875
names on here, right?

455
01:11:54,125 --> 01:11:55,458
Like the Starkey.

456
01:11:55,458 --> 01:11:56,833
So the Starkey's were right next door.

457
01:11:57,250 --> 01:11:57,458
Right.

458
01:11:57,750 --> 01:11:58,500
And so one of my best

459
01:11:58,500 --> 01:11:59,791
friends, sorry, my mic is so low.

460
01:11:59,791 --> 01:12:00,208
I don't know.

461
01:12:00,791 --> 01:12:01,041
I'm back.

462
01:12:01,250 --> 01:12:02,333
My mic, I had to fix my mic.

463
01:12:02,541 --> 01:12:03,666
Technical difficulties yet again.

464
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:06,333
We had to call in the group and the hand

465
01:12:06,333 --> 01:12:07,708
and the grip and all that kind of stuff.

466
01:12:07,708 --> 01:12:08,125
Oh, I know.

467
01:12:08,708 --> 01:12:09,833
They're the best in the business.

468
01:12:09,833 --> 01:12:10,708
The producer's not happy with

469
01:12:10,708 --> 01:12:13,041
me, but you know, it's best.

470
01:12:13,041 --> 01:12:14,125
Yeah, we had the best in the business.

471
01:12:14,416 --> 01:12:15,125
Best in the business.

472
01:12:16,583 --> 01:12:18,750
Anyways, to our right was the Starkey's.

473
01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:19,166
Right.

474
01:12:19,166 --> 01:12:20,000
And I remember the

475
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:21,250
Starkey's, that was my best friend.

476
01:12:21,583 --> 01:12:23,291
So I would go over there and

477
01:12:23,291 --> 01:12:24,666
elementary is my best friend.

478
01:12:25,041 --> 01:12:25,583
So I would spend the

479
01:12:25,583 --> 01:12:26,375
night over there all the time.

480
01:12:26,375 --> 01:12:27,666
They didn't have a finished basement.

481
01:12:27,666 --> 01:12:28,625
I mean, like I can go all

482
01:12:28,625 --> 01:12:29,916
the houses that I grew up in.

483
01:12:29,916 --> 01:12:31,916
I was there since second grade, right?

484
01:12:32,875 --> 01:12:34,833
They didn't have a finished basement, but

485
01:12:34,833 --> 01:12:35,750
we would play down there

486
01:12:35,750 --> 01:12:40,250
like He-Man and Transformers

487
01:12:40,500 --> 01:12:40,875
and G.I.

488
01:12:41,041 --> 01:12:41,250
Joe.

489
01:12:41,666 --> 01:12:44,625
And I remember, if Mitch ever listens to

490
01:12:44,625 --> 01:12:45,291
this, he's my friend.

491
01:12:45,750 --> 01:12:46,916
It's funny because there was a couple of

492
01:12:46,916 --> 01:12:48,416
times he, and this

493
01:12:48,416 --> 01:12:49,291
might've started where I got

494
01:12:49,291 --> 01:12:51,375
really anal in life, but there was a

495
01:12:51,375 --> 01:12:52,875
couple of times I kept my

496
01:12:52,875 --> 01:12:55,375
toys as you would guess.

497
01:12:55,666 --> 01:12:56,500
Pristine, I'm sure.

498
01:12:56,875 --> 01:12:57,333
Pristine.

499
01:12:57,916 --> 01:12:59,458
Oh, if I could play with them in the

500
01:12:59,458 --> 01:13:00,333
package, I would have.

501
01:13:00,625 --> 01:13:01,041
Pause.

502
01:13:03,291 --> 01:13:05,375
You still have many of these

503
01:13:05,375 --> 01:13:06,875
toys in pristine condition.

504
01:13:06,875 --> 01:13:08,833
And some of them, you didn't want to

505
01:13:08,833 --> 01:13:10,125
allow our children to

506
01:13:10,125 --> 01:13:11,750
play with because you thought

507
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:12,916
our kids might wreck

508
01:13:12,916 --> 01:13:15,416
them, which they probably did.

509
01:13:15,833 --> 01:13:16,583
Well, I mean, they're

510
01:13:16,583 --> 01:13:17,916
historical items now.

511
01:13:18,291 --> 01:13:19,791
I don't know that we should let two year

512
01:13:19,791 --> 01:13:21,375
olds play with them as

513
01:13:21,375 --> 01:13:22,333
good of shape as they're

514
01:13:22,333 --> 01:13:22,541
in.

515
01:13:22,833 --> 01:13:25,833
Anyways, pristine condition.

516
01:13:26,083 --> 01:13:27,416
And I would bring some of my toys over

517
01:13:27,416 --> 01:13:29,000
there to play when we play sometimes.

518
01:13:29,625 --> 01:13:31,208
And because mine were so nice, there was

519
01:13:31,208 --> 01:13:31,916
a couple of times

520
01:13:31,916 --> 01:13:32,791
that I, and he was a year

521
01:13:32,791 --> 01:13:34,166
older than me, he

522
01:13:34,166 --> 01:13:36,750
switched out a couple of mine.

523
01:13:36,750 --> 01:13:37,541
He's like, that's mine.

524
01:13:37,541 --> 01:13:38,291
I'm like, no, it's not.

525
01:13:38,291 --> 01:13:38,625
That's mine.

526
01:13:39,250 --> 01:13:40,916
And I don't like confrontation, or at

527
01:13:40,916 --> 01:13:42,333
least at that point in my life, I didn't.

528
01:13:42,333 --> 01:13:42,958
I don't like it now

529
01:13:42,958 --> 01:13:44,625
either, but I'm fine with it.

530
01:13:44,833 --> 01:13:45,000
Right.

531
01:13:45,291 --> 01:13:46,416
As a child, different story.

532
01:13:47,583 --> 01:13:50,416
So that's when I started putting my

533
01:13:50,416 --> 01:13:52,041
initials on, like on the

534
01:13:52,041 --> 01:13:53,250
bottom of my GI Joe guys,

535
01:13:53,541 --> 01:13:55,250
I actually carved my

536
01:13:55,250 --> 01:13:56,750
initials into their feet.

537
01:13:57,083 --> 01:13:58,458
If anybody remembers GI Joe's, they have

538
01:13:58,458 --> 01:13:59,583
feet and they had those

539
01:13:59,583 --> 01:14:00,708
holes in them so they would

540
01:14:00,708 --> 01:14:01,375
stand up.

541
01:14:01,791 --> 01:14:02,000
Right.

542
01:14:02,708 --> 01:14:05,500
Well, in that little area, which is 10

543
01:14:05,500 --> 01:14:08,541
millimeters, maybe I use an

544
01:14:08,541 --> 01:14:10,333
exacto knife that I use for

545
01:14:10,333 --> 01:14:11,875
a lot of my model making and whatnot.

546
01:14:11,875 --> 01:14:14,750
And I etched my initials

547
01:14:14,750 --> 01:14:15,958
into the bottom of those.

548
01:14:16,375 --> 01:14:17,500
Some of the bigger ones I'd use like a

549
01:14:17,500 --> 01:14:18,166
marker or something like

550
01:14:18,166 --> 01:14:19,208
that, but clearly where

551
01:14:19,208 --> 01:14:20,041
you couldn't see it

552
01:14:20,041 --> 01:14:21,000
because I didn't want to ruin it.

553
01:14:21,416 --> 01:14:24,125
But then I knew like, no, no, no, my

554
01:14:24,125 --> 01:14:25,041
initials are on that.

555
01:14:25,041 --> 01:14:25,583
That's mine.

556
01:14:26,541 --> 01:14:29,083
Anyways, that was the Star Keys.

557
01:14:30,208 --> 01:14:32,208
Next to them, that one changed over.

558
01:14:32,208 --> 01:14:33,541
But the next to them, I used to babysit

559
01:14:33,541 --> 01:14:34,375
their kid for a while.

560
01:14:34,833 --> 01:14:35,458
Greatest thing ever.

561
01:14:35,458 --> 01:14:37,166
I would get $5 after school.

562
01:14:37,416 --> 01:14:37,916
I don't know, like

563
01:14:37,916 --> 01:14:38,916
fourth grade, fifth grade.

564
01:14:38,916 --> 01:14:40,541
I would babysit him for like two hours.

565
01:14:40,541 --> 01:14:42,541
I would get $5 and I

566
01:14:42,541 --> 01:14:43,541
would get as many pops.

567
01:14:43,833 --> 01:14:45,541
No, I think I got one root beer.

568
01:14:45,583 --> 01:14:46,166
I think we were allowed

569
01:14:46,166 --> 01:14:47,541
each to have one root beer.

570
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:50,291
Right?

571
01:14:51,083 --> 01:14:52,750
Across the street from us was the cooks.

572
01:14:53,416 --> 01:14:54,125
Matt Cook, he was another

573
01:14:54,125 --> 01:14:54,916
really good friend of mine.

574
01:14:55,583 --> 01:14:57,583
That's where I watched Thriller when the

575
01:14:57,583 --> 01:14:59,291
video Michael Jackson Thriller came out.

576
01:14:59,291 --> 01:14:59,666
Remember that?

577
01:14:59,666 --> 01:15:00,291
It was a huge deal.

578
01:15:00,583 --> 01:15:01,833
It was like 20 minute

579
01:15:01,833 --> 01:15:02,791
video or something like that.

580
01:15:03,041 --> 01:15:03,916
I don't remember what it was.

581
01:15:03,916 --> 01:15:04,458
It was long.

582
01:15:04,666 --> 01:15:06,041
But it was a big deal.

583
01:15:06,250 --> 01:15:06,958
That's where I watched

584
01:15:06,958 --> 01:15:08,000
Thriller, the Star Keys.

585
01:15:08,125 --> 01:15:09,208
In fact, we were good friends.

586
01:15:09,208 --> 01:15:10,583
I mean, the cooks, we were really good

587
01:15:10,583 --> 01:15:11,583
friends with them for a while.

588
01:15:11,916 --> 01:15:13,541
That was the people we

589
01:15:13,541 --> 01:15:14,625
would throw the football with.

590
01:15:15,791 --> 01:15:19,708
The dads, like Neil Starkey, Jim, and

591
01:15:19,708 --> 01:15:21,041
then I can't remember

592
01:15:21,041 --> 01:15:22,833
David Cook's dad's name.

593
01:15:24,375 --> 01:15:25,291
Matt Cook's dad's name.

594
01:15:25,291 --> 01:15:25,875
But we would actually.

595
01:15:25,875 --> 01:15:26,041
Do you actually have

596
01:15:26,041 --> 01:15:26,666
a singer next to you?

597
01:15:26,666 --> 01:15:28,875
That was like the Sesame Street moment.

598
01:15:29,291 --> 01:15:30,750
We had it for like two years.

599
01:15:31,666 --> 01:15:35,458
See, and we had pretty much in any of the

600
01:15:35,458 --> 01:15:36,041
neighborhoods that I

601
01:15:36,041 --> 01:15:36,666
grew up in, because I

602
01:15:36,666 --> 01:15:38,541
moved around quite a bit during those

603
01:15:38,541 --> 01:15:39,458
years where you make

604
01:15:39,458 --> 01:15:40,208
friends with your neighbors.

605
01:15:41,375 --> 01:15:43,583
We played Ghost in the Graveyard.

606
01:15:44,166 --> 01:15:44,375
Yeah.

607
01:15:44,750 --> 01:15:47,083
Because like in the house my parents just

608
01:15:47,083 --> 01:15:47,791
moved out of, we had

609
01:15:47,791 --> 01:15:48,833
the Olsens and they had

610
01:15:48,833 --> 01:15:51,166
like a kid every single one of our kids

611
01:15:51,166 --> 01:15:52,583
age for the most part.

612
01:15:52,583 --> 01:15:52,750
Yeah.

613
01:15:52,750 --> 01:15:53,041
Yeah.

614
01:15:53,500 --> 01:15:56,041
We played Ghost in the Graveyard and oh

615
01:15:56,041 --> 01:15:57,375
my gosh, we did it so

616
01:15:57,375 --> 01:15:59,958
when we lived in the Chicago

617
01:15:59,958 --> 01:16:01,708
suburbs, Wheaton, we had

618
01:16:01,708 --> 01:16:03,500
the Minachos right there.

619
01:16:04,541 --> 01:16:05,250
They had a kid every year.

620
01:16:05,250 --> 01:16:05,583
The Minachos.

621
01:16:05,875 --> 01:16:07,750
They had a kid every year of ours too.

622
01:16:08,125 --> 01:16:09,000
Actually, I did not be friends with

623
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:10,291
somebody named the Minachos.

624
01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:11,333
Exactly.

625
01:16:11,750 --> 01:16:13,041
They were super cool.

626
01:16:15,500 --> 01:16:17,625
We even went to college with the one who

627
01:16:17,625 --> 01:16:18,458
was my younger brother's

628
01:16:18,458 --> 01:16:19,500
age, he went to the University

629
01:16:19,500 --> 01:16:20,583
of Iowa with us.

630
01:16:20,833 --> 01:16:23,166
Like how, yeah.

631
01:16:23,791 --> 01:16:24,666
It was just awesome.

632
01:16:25,166 --> 01:16:25,375
Yeah.

633
01:16:25,791 --> 01:16:27,166
We played Ghost in the Graveyard too.

634
01:16:27,166 --> 01:16:28,250
That was such a fun game

635
01:16:28,250 --> 01:16:29,083
and we got to stay out.

636
01:16:29,750 --> 01:16:31,416
I don't know what it is, but there's

637
01:16:31,416 --> 01:16:32,375
somewhere out there, there's

638
01:16:32,375 --> 01:16:36,458
one of those reels or memes

639
01:16:36,458 --> 01:16:38,583
or whatever, but it talks about Gen X's.

640
01:16:38,916 --> 01:16:39,125
Right?

641
01:16:39,666 --> 01:16:41,666
There were Latteeds kids, we talked about

642
01:16:41,666 --> 01:16:42,291
it here before a little

643
01:16:42,291 --> 01:16:43,083
bit, but it was totally

644
01:16:43,083 --> 01:16:43,291
true.

645
01:16:43,541 --> 01:16:46,375
When the lights came on, we went home.

646
01:16:46,916 --> 01:16:48,500
In fact, for me, it

647
01:16:48,500 --> 01:16:50,208
was when Jim whistled.

648
01:16:50,750 --> 01:16:51,833
There was a whistle that went.

649
01:16:53,625 --> 01:16:54,875
[Whistling]

650
01:16:55,416 --> 01:16:58,125
Anybody listening knows that, that knows

651
01:16:58,125 --> 01:16:59,208
Jim would know that.

652
01:16:59,666 --> 01:17:00,833
But I could hear that.

653
01:17:01,500 --> 01:17:03,833
My really good friend, Jim O'Malley, who

654
01:17:03,833 --> 01:17:05,833
was like two streets

655
01:17:05,833 --> 01:17:08,500
away, I could hear it at

656
01:17:08,500 --> 01:17:09,208
his house.

657
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:12,583
I mean, it's got to be 300, 400 yards,

658
01:17:13,166 --> 01:17:14,041
because it's two streets.

659
01:17:14,041 --> 01:17:15,166
It's my street, another

660
01:17:15,166 --> 01:17:17,250
street, and then a cul-de-sac.

661
01:17:18,250 --> 01:17:20,500
I could hear it, I'm like, "Got to go."

662
01:17:21,708 --> 01:17:22,583
Yeah.

663
01:17:23,208 --> 01:17:24,833
My mom had a really big bell.

664
01:17:27,041 --> 01:17:27,333
Yeah.

665
01:17:27,916 --> 01:17:28,250
A really...

666
01:17:28,500 --> 01:17:29,250
Like she'd get like a

667
01:17:29,250 --> 01:17:30,250
cow bell type thing?

668
01:17:30,291 --> 01:17:31,791
Not like a cow bell, like a...

669
01:17:32,083 --> 01:17:32,333
Like a...

670
01:17:32,333 --> 01:17:33,125
Like a Liberty bell?

671
01:17:34,458 --> 01:17:35,625
Smaller Liberty bell.

672
01:17:35,625 --> 01:17:37,208
Like a small Liberty bell.

673
01:17:37,208 --> 01:17:40,583
It was like, I mean, the handle was long.

674
01:17:40,583 --> 01:17:41,375
The handle was like that.

675
01:17:41,583 --> 01:17:43,416
Give me some inches, like 12 by 12?

676
01:17:45,041 --> 01:17:45,458
I don't know.

677
01:17:45,458 --> 01:17:48,875
I bet the circumference of the bottom of

678
01:17:48,875 --> 01:17:52,000
the bell was 10 inches?

679
01:17:52,583 --> 01:17:52,833
Okay.

680
01:17:53,416 --> 01:17:53,583
So...

681
01:17:53,625 --> 01:17:54,500
So she would hold...

682
01:17:54,500 --> 01:17:55,458
This bell would have a handle?

683
01:17:55,666 --> 01:17:56,625
So it would just go ding, ding.

684
01:17:56,625 --> 01:17:57,916
Was it hung somewhere?

685
01:17:57,916 --> 01:17:59,333
No, it like sat up.

686
01:17:59,375 --> 01:18:00,416
It was actually, I

687
01:18:00,416 --> 01:18:02,291
think a hutch that they had.

688
01:18:02,291 --> 01:18:03,000
That's something people...

689
01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:03,375
So there's a

690
01:18:03,375 --> 01:18:06,375
freestanding bell that was...

691
01:18:06,375 --> 01:18:07,916
Maybe a six inches of circumference?

692
01:18:08,166 --> 01:18:08,583
I don't know.

693
01:18:08,583 --> 01:18:09,000
I can't remember.

694
01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:10,625
And she would just bang on that?

695
01:18:11,041 --> 01:18:12,125
No, she would like ring it.

696
01:18:12,333 --> 01:18:12,958
Like, you know, like a

697
01:18:12,958 --> 01:18:14,291
bell choir at church?

698
01:18:14,666 --> 01:18:15,625
I don't know if they have these anymore.

699
01:18:15,625 --> 01:18:17,125
And they did it to their chest?

700
01:18:17,416 --> 01:18:17,708
Yeah, yeah.

701
01:18:17,750 --> 01:18:19,166
So it was like, think of like the biggest

702
01:18:19,166 --> 01:18:20,666
bell that you would find in a bell choir.

703
01:18:20,666 --> 01:18:20,958
Yeah.

704
01:18:21,708 --> 01:18:22,916
That's what my mom had.

705
01:18:24,458 --> 01:18:25,625
And so when we were

706
01:18:25,625 --> 01:18:27,000
playing at Seven Gables Park...

707
01:18:27,500 --> 01:18:27,666
Yeah.

708
01:18:28,500 --> 01:18:29,541
Which was probably only

709
01:18:29,541 --> 01:18:31,000
like 100 yards away, right?

710
01:18:31,250 --> 01:18:32,041
You clearly...

711
01:18:32,708 --> 01:18:32,916
Yeah.

712
01:18:33,166 --> 01:18:33,833
You know, the whistle

713
01:18:33,833 --> 01:18:35,250
was louder than this bell.

714
01:18:35,250 --> 01:18:36,666
But oh yeah, we'd be playing at the park

715
01:18:36,666 --> 01:18:37,416
and like we'd hear

716
01:18:37,416 --> 01:18:38,541
this bell and like, okay,

717
01:18:38,541 --> 01:18:39,333
it's time to come home.

718
01:18:39,583 --> 01:18:39,791
Yeah.

719
01:18:40,625 --> 01:18:40,708
Wow.

720
01:18:41,083 --> 01:18:41,291
Interesting.

721
01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:42,958
I never heard that story.

722
01:18:43,416 --> 01:18:43,625
Really?

723
01:18:43,958 --> 01:18:44,166
Yeah.

724
01:18:44,166 --> 01:18:45,625
So was that a low pitch?

725
01:18:45,875 --> 01:18:46,375
Bigger bells are

726
01:18:46,375 --> 01:18:47,375
usually lower pitch, right?

727
01:18:47,375 --> 01:18:47,750
It was a lower pitch bell.

728
01:18:48,250 --> 01:18:48,458
Yeah.

729
01:18:49,416 --> 01:18:50,208
But she'd only do it once

730
01:18:50,208 --> 01:18:52,000
or she'd like go crazy on it?

731
01:18:52,250 --> 01:18:53,583
I don't remember a couple times maybe.

732
01:18:53,916 --> 01:18:54,666
Like I bet, you know,

733
01:18:54,666 --> 01:18:55,291
she gave us two or three.

734
01:18:55,291 --> 01:18:55,916
You know, she's mad.

735
01:18:55,916 --> 01:18:56,375
Like, where are these...

736
01:18:58,250 --> 01:18:59,208
Dum, dum, dum, dum, dum.

737
01:18:59,666 --> 01:19:01,375
Gibbs kids are in trouble again.

738
01:19:03,208 --> 01:19:05,875
Honestly, I don't think she, she was

739
01:19:05,875 --> 01:19:06,416
probably just like

740
01:19:06,416 --> 01:19:08,375
dinner's ready and like she's a

741
01:19:08,375 --> 01:19:09,166
mom of five.

742
01:19:09,958 --> 01:19:11,083
She was probably like, they don't have to

743
01:19:11,083 --> 01:19:13,000
really rush home because I'm enjoying the

744
01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:13,416
quiet.

745
01:19:13,791 --> 01:19:14,000
Yeah.

746
01:19:14,333 --> 01:19:15,375
So last question, where

747
01:19:15,375 --> 01:19:16,708
was it located in a cabinet?

748
01:19:17,458 --> 01:19:17,708
Yeah.

749
01:19:18,041 --> 01:19:19,625
So like, you know, the glass hutch.

750
01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:20,250
Yeah.

751
01:19:20,500 --> 01:19:21,708
Oh, she takes it out of there though.

752
01:19:21,708 --> 01:19:22,708
She would take it out of there.

753
01:19:22,708 --> 01:19:23,500
Was it on a handle?

754
01:19:24,583 --> 01:19:27,000
It had a long, long straight handle.

755
01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:29,208
So it really was like a choir one.

756
01:19:29,208 --> 01:19:30,541
It was a total choir bell.

757
01:19:30,541 --> 01:19:30,958
She used to boom.

758
01:19:31,416 --> 01:19:31,666
Oh, okay.

759
01:19:32,083 --> 01:19:32,166
Yeah.

760
01:19:32,166 --> 01:19:33,000
Would she do it like that too?

761
01:19:33,416 --> 01:19:33,625
Probably.

762
01:19:34,083 --> 01:19:34,458
Okay.

763
01:19:34,458 --> 01:19:35,166
Like, cause I know that.

764
01:19:35,458 --> 01:19:38,500
Like, the church we went to, it would

765
01:19:38,500 --> 01:19:40,083
bring out all the

766
01:19:40,083 --> 01:19:41,833
bells for Christmas Eve.

767
01:19:42,083 --> 01:19:43,458
So I think that's what it was for because

768
01:19:43,458 --> 01:19:44,250
my mom was in the

769
01:19:44,250 --> 01:19:45,416
bell choir at one of the

770
01:19:45,666 --> 01:19:46,583
churches that we were in.

771
01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:47,541
And when we moved

772
01:19:47,541 --> 01:19:48,958
away, they gave her a bell.

773
01:19:49,208 --> 01:19:49,416
Seriously?

774
01:19:49,958 --> 01:19:50,708
I think so.

775
01:19:50,708 --> 01:19:51,291
That's fantastic.

776
01:19:51,958 --> 01:19:52,916
I did not know that.

777
01:19:53,291 --> 01:19:55,000
I apologize if I'm lying to all of our

778
01:19:55,000 --> 01:19:56,666
listeners, but I'm pretty

779
01:19:56,666 --> 01:19:57,875
sure that's why we have this

780
01:19:57,875 --> 01:19:58,083
bell.

781
01:19:58,583 --> 01:19:59,208
Cause I think it said

782
01:19:59,208 --> 01:20:01,125
like, you know, I had no idea.

783
01:20:01,458 --> 01:20:04,083
RG had was so talented to like Cox,

784
01:20:04,083 --> 01:20:05,208
Christie bell choir, and

785
01:20:05,208 --> 01:20:06,958
then like the years or whatever.

786
01:20:07,250 --> 01:20:08,500
I think they gave it to her

787
01:20:08,500 --> 01:20:09,916
as a, as a going away present.

788
01:20:09,916 --> 01:20:10,416
Okay.

789
01:20:11,500 --> 01:20:11,750
Yeah.

790
01:20:12,333 --> 01:20:13,583
And so she would ring it.

791
01:20:13,583 --> 01:20:14,708
It was in that hutch that was in the

792
01:20:14,708 --> 01:20:15,583
living room for a long time.

793
01:20:15,583 --> 01:20:16,625
Did you have any bad

794
01:20:16,625 --> 01:20:19,208
neighbors at that point in time?

795
01:20:20,458 --> 01:20:21,291
Cause I know for us,

796
01:20:21,291 --> 01:20:22,250
I'll just, oh, go ahead.

797
01:20:22,291 --> 01:20:23,666
You owe something came to your mind.

798
01:20:24,833 --> 01:20:25,250
We did.

799
01:20:25,833 --> 01:20:26,000
Uh-huh.

800
01:20:26,500 --> 01:20:28,250
And it's actually not super.

801
01:20:28,500 --> 01:20:30,250
It's not, it's not a funny story at all.

802
01:20:30,250 --> 01:20:33,250
Actually it's, um, so one of, one of the

803
01:20:33,250 --> 01:20:36,541
neighbors, uh, had a, had

804
01:20:36,541 --> 01:20:38,208
a kid that they had adopted

805
01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:40,458
any in this, this kid was

806
01:20:40,458 --> 01:20:41,500
definitely a troubled youth.

807
01:20:41,500 --> 01:20:42,125
Can I reach back?

808
01:20:42,125 --> 01:20:43,125
Your, your, your

809
01:20:43,125 --> 01:20:45,416
earring is like backwards.

810
01:20:46,541 --> 01:20:49,291
Anyway, so this was a troubled youth and

811
01:20:49,291 --> 01:20:50,291
he, he actually broke

812
01:20:50,291 --> 01:20:51,500
into our house and stole

813
01:20:51,541 --> 01:20:51,791
money.

814
01:20:53,041 --> 01:20:54,500
Well, I had the same kind of deal.

815
01:20:54,958 --> 01:20:56,000
He was another troubled youth.

816
01:20:56,375 --> 01:20:57,916
He was, he was, he had

817
01:20:57,916 --> 01:21:01,416
special problems of some sort.

818
01:21:01,416 --> 01:21:03,000
I don't know what he is, but, um, but he

819
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:04,250
would, he was from up the

820
01:21:04,250 --> 01:21:05,791
street and he would come

821
01:21:05,791 --> 01:21:07,333
down and like, if your garage was open,

822
01:21:07,333 --> 01:21:07,958
he would just wander

823
01:21:07,958 --> 01:21:09,208
into it and take stuff out

824
01:21:09,208 --> 01:21:09,416
of it.

825
01:21:09,416 --> 01:21:11,500
But he was, he was special at that time

826
01:21:11,500 --> 01:21:12,708
before people really kind

827
01:21:12,708 --> 01:21:13,666
of, you know, treated that

828
01:21:13,750 --> 01:21:14,083
differently.

829
01:21:14,500 --> 01:21:14,666
Yeah.

830
01:21:14,958 --> 01:21:15,125
Yeah.

831
01:21:15,625 --> 01:21:15,833
Yeah.

832
01:21:16,416 --> 01:21:17,000
And yours is a

833
01:21:17,000 --> 01:21:18,333
different kind of problems.

834
01:21:18,333 --> 01:21:18,541
I know.

835
01:21:18,750 --> 01:21:19,666
I remember you telling me.

836
01:21:20,750 --> 01:21:22,083
But other than that, like the parents

837
01:21:22,083 --> 01:21:23,500
though, I mean, they were

838
01:21:23,500 --> 01:21:25,041
actually friends with my

839
01:21:25,041 --> 01:21:28,625
parents and, you know, and honestly, this

840
01:21:28,625 --> 01:21:29,500
kid was a friend of my

841
01:21:29,500 --> 01:21:30,416
older brothers because

842
01:21:30,416 --> 01:21:31,208
he was in the neighborhood.

843
01:21:31,208 --> 01:21:32,083
He would play with them.

844
01:21:32,083 --> 01:21:33,541
And so we were really surprised.

845
01:21:34,125 --> 01:21:35,333
Frankly, we didn't even know that he had

846
01:21:35,333 --> 01:21:36,083
broken in and stolen

847
01:21:36,083 --> 01:21:38,541
anything until later the cops

848
01:21:38,541 --> 01:21:39,041
showed up.

849
01:21:39,875 --> 01:21:40,916
Um, but we did have a neighbor

850
01:21:40,916 --> 01:21:43,000
who was a, a, a top gun pilot.

851
01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:44,125
He was a top gun instructor.

852
01:21:44,833 --> 01:21:45,791
He would always wear his top gun.

853
01:21:45,791 --> 01:21:45,958
Yeah.

854
01:21:45,958 --> 01:21:46,875
He would wear his top gun hat.

855
01:21:47,458 --> 01:21:48,791
It was, it looked like the movie hats.

856
01:21:49,708 --> 01:21:50,000
100%.

857
01:21:50,708 --> 01:21:53,000
No, really dead serious.

858
01:21:53,000 --> 01:21:53,708
That's hilarious.

859
01:21:54,166 --> 01:21:55,125
Don't remember that.

860
01:21:55,125 --> 01:21:55,958
What was this call sign?

861
01:21:56,375 --> 01:21:57,208
I have no idea.

862
01:21:57,458 --> 01:21:59,208
Oh, I figured you wouldn't remember his

863
01:21:59,208 --> 01:22:00,291
name, but you had to

864
01:22:00,291 --> 01:22:01,375
remember his call sign.

865
01:22:01,708 --> 01:22:02,708
I don't think I asked

866
01:22:02,708 --> 01:22:04,125
him what his call sign was.

867
01:22:04,125 --> 01:22:05,041
It wasn't Maverick.

868
01:22:05,333 --> 01:22:06,625
It was not Maverick.

869
01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:07,291
Viper maybe.

870
01:22:08,291 --> 01:22:09,416
He was more of a Viper guy.

871
01:22:11,000 --> 01:22:11,375
That's awesome.

872
01:22:11,583 --> 01:22:12,041
That's awesome.

873
01:22:13,041 --> 01:22:15,125
So I'm trying to think, uh, there was a

874
01:22:15,125 --> 01:22:15,791
house across the street

875
01:22:15,791 --> 01:22:17,000
from us that was never out

876
01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:18,625
in social and they didn't do

877
01:22:18,625 --> 01:22:20,000
their yard, even back then.

878
01:22:20,625 --> 01:22:23,166
And the yard was growing in a nice

879
01:22:23,166 --> 01:22:24,541
suburban neighborhood

880
01:22:24,541 --> 01:22:25,583
in Colorado Springs.

881
01:22:26,583 --> 01:22:28,250
And that drove everybody crazy.

882
01:22:28,666 --> 01:22:30,875
That house constantly turned over.

883
01:22:31,750 --> 01:22:31,958
Yeah.

884
01:22:32,750 --> 01:22:33,250
Wow.

885
01:22:33,958 --> 01:22:34,208
Yeah.

886
01:22:34,791 --> 01:22:37,041
I don't think we had anyone like that on

887
01:22:37,041 --> 01:22:38,083
any of our, I mean, we

888
01:22:38,083 --> 01:22:39,000
had some people who weren't

889
01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:43,041
really social, but yeah, that was fine.

890
01:22:43,041 --> 01:22:44,416
Maybe they didn't have kids or I mean, I

891
01:22:44,416 --> 01:22:45,958
grew up around a lot of kids.

892
01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:47,916
So let's think then, then, so then you

893
01:22:47,916 --> 01:22:49,000
get, as you, as you

894
01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:50,041
progress with life, you start,

895
01:22:50,375 --> 01:22:53,000
then you go to like apartments, right?

896
01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:55,041
And you figure out, okay.

897
01:22:55,500 --> 01:22:57,083
Don't even get me started on some of the

898
01:22:57,083 --> 01:22:58,458
people I've lived next to from an

899
01:22:58,458 --> 01:22:59,166
apartment standpoint.

900
01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:02,125
Apartments are the worst that you

901
01:23:02,125 --> 01:23:03,541
couldn't, I would, I

902
01:23:03,541 --> 01:23:05,291
would, I would live in the woods

903
01:23:05,541 --> 01:23:06,791
before I'd go back to an apartment.

904
01:23:07,208 --> 01:23:08,708
Cause you got people on the side of you,

905
01:23:08,708 --> 01:23:11,416
on top of you, God forbid on top of you.

906
01:23:11,958 --> 01:23:14,333
Remember, remember our little duplex or

907
01:23:14,333 --> 01:23:16,625
whatever triplex in Chicago?

908
01:23:18,375 --> 01:23:19,375
Oh my gosh.

909
01:23:19,375 --> 01:23:19,708
Yes.

910
01:23:19,708 --> 01:23:21,083
And the guys above us, we had a bunch of

911
01:23:21,083 --> 01:23:22,125
college guys above us.

912
01:23:22,125 --> 01:23:22,375
Yes.

913
01:23:23,083 --> 01:23:24,750
And where we had, I mean, that was a

914
01:23:24,750 --> 01:23:25,875
super nice apartment.

915
01:23:26,166 --> 01:23:27,083
One is super nice, but one

916
01:23:27,083 --> 01:23:28,125
of them was Bigfoot, right?

917
01:23:28,833 --> 01:23:29,083
Yeah.

918
01:23:29,083 --> 01:23:32,500
The way he walked around everywhere.

919
01:23:33,416 --> 01:23:34,875
What was that?

920
01:23:35,125 --> 01:23:36,291
Oh my gosh.

921
01:23:36,750 --> 01:23:38,041
And where we had like a

922
01:23:38,041 --> 01:23:40,333
really nice living room set up.

923
01:23:40,375 --> 01:23:41,708
Mm-hmm.

924
01:23:41,708 --> 01:23:42,791
Cause I mean, it was a nice apartment.

925
01:23:43,125 --> 01:23:44,291
They had a beer pong table.

926
01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:45,625
How do you know that?

927
01:23:46,791 --> 01:23:47,458
Were you up there?

928
01:23:47,708 --> 01:23:47,916
No.

929
01:23:48,125 --> 01:23:49,708
Oh, no, I was never up

930
01:23:49,708 --> 01:23:50,583
there, but we could hear it.

931
01:23:50,583 --> 01:23:50,916
You could hear it.

932
01:23:50,916 --> 01:23:51,250
I'm just kidding.

933
01:23:51,250 --> 01:23:53,708
I was like, it was like, I was like, did

934
01:23:53,708 --> 01:23:54,708
we ever go up there?

935
01:23:54,708 --> 01:23:55,166
That was crazy.

936
01:23:55,166 --> 01:23:55,625
We didn't have, there

937
01:23:55,625 --> 01:23:56,791
was no elevator in that.

938
01:23:56,791 --> 01:23:58,125
I bet if they made that today, they put

939
01:23:58,125 --> 01:23:58,916
an elevator in there.

940
01:23:58,916 --> 01:24:00,375
Cause that was a lot of stairs.

941
01:24:00,375 --> 01:24:00,791
It was.

942
01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:01,875
Good thing we were young.

943
01:24:02,708 --> 01:24:02,916
Yeah.

944
01:24:03,291 --> 01:24:03,458
Yeah.

945
01:24:03,458 --> 01:24:05,041
But I mean, we carried our groceries up.

946
01:24:05,041 --> 01:24:05,416
I know.

947
01:24:05,416 --> 01:24:05,791
I was saying.

948
01:24:06,041 --> 01:24:06,458
Yeah.

949
01:24:06,458 --> 01:24:06,958
That was all, that's

950
01:24:06,958 --> 01:24:09,083
all, it was only you and I.

951
01:24:09,500 --> 01:24:10,541
One of my sisters lived

952
01:24:10,541 --> 01:24:12,416
with us for a little while.

953
01:24:13,916 --> 01:24:14,000
Yeah.

954
01:24:14,833 --> 01:24:16,125
But yes, I do.

955
01:24:16,125 --> 01:24:17,333
Cause you could hear like the think,

956
01:24:17,333 --> 01:24:18,875
think, think of the beer pong.

957
01:24:18,875 --> 01:24:19,458
Oh, I remember.

958
01:24:19,708 --> 01:24:20,041
I remember.

959
01:24:21,166 --> 01:24:22,583
I was trying to remember if we had ever

960
01:24:22,583 --> 01:24:23,416
gone up there though.

961
01:24:23,625 --> 01:24:24,875
Everywhere we've gone though, in

962
01:24:24,875 --> 01:24:26,041
Yorkville, then so we

963
01:24:26,041 --> 01:24:26,916
lived, then we moved out to the

964
01:24:26,916 --> 01:24:27,583
suburbs and we have

965
01:24:27,583 --> 01:24:28,541
children in Yorkville.

966
01:24:28,541 --> 01:24:29,500
We had pretty good neighbors.

967
01:24:30,000 --> 01:24:30,291
Oh yeah.

968
01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:33,583
Except the people on the end.

969
01:24:34,375 --> 01:24:35,250
You're right.

970
01:24:35,250 --> 01:24:36,458
Did you forget about the people on the

971
01:24:36,458 --> 01:24:37,958
very end out of our back window?

972
01:24:38,500 --> 01:24:39,041
Gosh.

973
01:24:39,500 --> 01:24:39,708
Yeah.

974
01:24:40,000 --> 01:24:40,291
Okay.

975
01:24:40,666 --> 01:24:41,375
Set the stage.

976
01:24:41,583 --> 01:24:42,375
We had lived in that, we

977
01:24:42,375 --> 01:24:43,375
hadn't even fully moved in.

978
01:24:43,583 --> 01:24:43,833
We didn't.

979
01:24:43,833 --> 01:24:44,416
Brand new neighborhood.

980
01:24:44,791 --> 01:24:46,000
So we ground up build

981
01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:47,041
with whole day homes.

982
01:24:47,833 --> 01:24:49,291
So people, like there's lots of people

983
01:24:49,291 --> 01:24:50,666
are buying, people are

984
01:24:50,666 --> 01:24:51,583
just buying lots and building

985
01:24:51,791 --> 01:24:52,500
brand new homes.

986
01:24:52,500 --> 01:24:54,125
What do you forget about this?

987
01:24:54,125 --> 01:24:54,375
Yeah.

988
01:24:54,375 --> 01:24:55,333
We talked about that another day.

989
01:24:55,333 --> 01:24:56,250
That was like the most

990
01:24:56,250 --> 01:24:57,333
exciting thing we had done.

991
01:24:57,333 --> 01:24:58,500
Like we'd go out there on the weekends

992
01:24:58,500 --> 01:24:59,458
and just look at the,

993
01:24:59,916 --> 01:25:01,166
you know, what happened,

994
01:25:01,166 --> 01:25:02,583
the form and the basement

995
01:25:02,583 --> 01:25:03,750
when they, when they drill.

996
01:25:03,958 --> 01:25:04,416
Anyways, go ahead.

997
01:25:05,208 --> 01:25:07,083
So we didn't even have furniture.

998
01:25:08,125 --> 01:25:09,541
We maybe only had some furniture, but we

999
01:25:09,541 --> 01:25:10,333
had only been in there.

1000
01:25:10,333 --> 01:25:11,250
It was one of our

1001
01:25:11,250 --> 01:25:12,125
first nights in the house.

1002
01:25:13,208 --> 01:25:14,541
It was early on for sure.

1003
01:25:15,083 --> 01:25:15,583
Early on.

1004
01:25:15,958 --> 01:25:17,291
I know we didn't have drapery.

1005
01:25:17,791 --> 01:25:19,000
Like we had nothing to cover our windows.

1006
01:25:19,541 --> 01:25:20,666
So another thing we can talk about.

1007
01:25:20,666 --> 01:25:22,000
I sewed that drapery.

1008
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:22,833
You did.

1009
01:25:22,833 --> 01:25:24,041
You did such a good job.

1010
01:25:24,041 --> 01:25:25,083
Me. It's like 20 foot curtains.

1011
01:25:25,916 --> 01:25:25,958
Yeah.

1012
01:25:25,958 --> 01:25:26,833
We couldn't afford curtains.

1013
01:25:26,833 --> 01:25:27,583
So you sewed.

1014
01:25:27,583 --> 01:25:28,916
And I, because I had to put

1015
01:25:28,916 --> 01:25:30,791
blackouts on the back of them.

1016
01:25:30,791 --> 01:25:32,208
It was white and we picked

1017
01:25:32,208 --> 01:25:33,416
out a curtain and I sewed them.

1018
01:25:33,666 --> 01:25:34,250
Anyways, go ahead.

1019
01:25:34,833 --> 01:25:35,000
Yeah.

1020
01:25:35,916 --> 01:25:37,083
And now you're a seamstress.

1021
01:25:38,333 --> 01:25:41,000
I've been a seamstress for 25 years now.

1022
01:25:43,083 --> 01:25:43,875
It's what you moonlight doing.

1023
01:25:44,208 --> 01:25:46,000
Seeming financial packages together.

1024
01:25:47,083 --> 01:25:49,000
I like what you did there.

1025
01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:49,500
Anyways, go ahead.

1026
01:25:50,375 --> 01:25:53,416
Um, but all of a sudden, all

1027
01:25:53,416 --> 01:25:55,875
these cop cars come flying.

1028
01:25:57,083 --> 01:25:57,583
And we knew because we

1029
01:25:57,583 --> 01:25:58,416
didn't have curtains.

1030
01:25:58,416 --> 01:25:59,000
And we knew because we

1031
01:25:59,000 --> 01:26:00,708
used like two story windows.

1032
01:26:01,041 --> 01:26:01,416
It was great.

1033
01:26:01,875 --> 01:26:02,041
Yeah.

1034
01:26:02,416 --> 01:26:03,208
Almost floor to ceiling.

1035
01:26:03,750 --> 01:26:03,958
Yeah.

1036
01:26:04,666 --> 01:26:06,208
And like, what's going on?

1037
01:26:06,916 --> 01:26:08,750
Curbs drawn everything.

1038
01:26:08,750 --> 01:26:11,500
I mean, there's literally like a cop goes

1039
01:26:11,500 --> 01:26:14,166
like into our backyard on his belly.

1040
01:26:14,458 --> 01:26:14,916
Yes.

1041
01:26:15,166 --> 01:26:17,333
On his belly with a gun like with a

1042
01:26:17,333 --> 01:26:19,708
pistol pointed at our

1043
01:26:19,708 --> 01:26:21,125
neighbors, catty cornered in

1044
01:26:21,125 --> 01:26:21,833
our backyard.

1045
01:26:22,041 --> 01:26:24,250
Oh, nobody has fences in these bad guys.

1046
01:26:24,250 --> 01:26:24,916
Fences weren't allowed

1047
01:26:24,916 --> 01:26:25,500
in this neighborhood.

1048
01:26:25,500 --> 01:26:27,000
So it was just wide open.

1049
01:26:27,625 --> 01:26:28,916
You're like, get down.

1050
01:26:29,458 --> 01:26:31,166
So I'm like, get down.

1051
01:26:31,833 --> 01:26:33,583
Like we're about to be in a shootout.

1052
01:26:34,416 --> 01:26:35,500
At this time, we're

1053
01:26:35,500 --> 01:26:37,333
like, what have we done?

1054
01:26:38,000 --> 01:26:39,583
This is like a nice neighborhood.

1055
01:26:40,500 --> 01:26:40,666
Yeah.

1056
01:26:41,291 --> 01:26:42,000
And what was it?

1057
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:45,708
It was a, it was an alcoholic mother.

1058
01:26:46,541 --> 01:26:47,458
Parents I think it was

1059
01:26:47,458 --> 01:26:48,625
the son that had the issue.

1060
01:26:48,625 --> 01:26:49,708
Remember the son didn't live there.

1061
01:26:49,708 --> 01:26:50,500
They have like kicked out

1062
01:26:50,500 --> 01:26:52,375
their kind of adult son.

1063
01:26:52,875 --> 01:26:53,791
Son who had.

1064
01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:56,916
He came back in there and they were like

1065
01:26:56,916 --> 01:26:57,708
trying to get issues.

1066
01:26:58,000 --> 01:26:59,500
They always called the cops on him

1067
01:26:59,500 --> 01:27:01,416
because he had, he had like drug issues.

1068
01:27:01,625 --> 01:27:02,000
Yeah.

1069
01:27:02,583 --> 01:27:03,583
Even Michael now their

1070
01:27:03,583 --> 01:27:04,625
names are coming to me.

1071
01:27:04,833 --> 01:27:05,041
What?

1072
01:27:05,333 --> 01:27:05,583
Yeah.

1073
01:27:05,958 --> 01:27:07,166
I would believe it or not.

1074
01:27:07,166 --> 01:27:08,083
I remember their names.

1075
01:27:08,083 --> 01:27:08,541
That's insane.

1076
01:27:09,333 --> 01:27:10,875
Anyway, but yeah, it was their son who

1077
01:27:10,875 --> 01:27:11,625
came out who they had

1078
01:27:11,625 --> 01:27:13,500
kicked out and he had a weapon

1079
01:27:13,583 --> 01:27:16,583
and he was not, not well.

1080
01:27:17,750 --> 01:27:19,208
It happened multiple times.

1081
01:27:19,500 --> 01:27:19,833
Multiple times.

1082
01:27:20,250 --> 01:27:21,125
Multiple times.

1083
01:27:21,958 --> 01:27:23,583
That was actually scary from the

1084
01:27:23,583 --> 01:27:25,083
standpoint that if, if

1085
01:27:25,083 --> 01:27:27,041
bullets started flying, right?

1086
01:27:27,041 --> 01:27:28,125
There's nothing I can do.

1087
01:27:28,125 --> 01:27:30,750
I mean, I can't like, I can, I can like

1088
01:27:30,750 --> 01:27:32,166
blockade you and I'll

1089
01:27:32,166 --> 01:27:33,291
take a bullet for you.

1090
01:27:33,291 --> 01:27:35,208
But I mean like bullets, it's not like

1091
01:27:35,208 --> 01:27:35,875
you can just stand at

1092
01:27:35,875 --> 01:27:37,083
your glass window and watch

1093
01:27:37,083 --> 01:27:37,958
what's going down.

1094
01:27:37,958 --> 01:27:38,958
People start shooting bullets.

1095
01:27:39,125 --> 01:27:39,333
Right.

1096
01:27:39,791 --> 01:27:41,291
Like we were like laying on the floor.

1097
01:27:41,708 --> 01:27:42,000
I know.

1098
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:43,416
I was like, get down as far as you can.

1099
01:27:43,416 --> 01:27:43,666
Yeah.

1100
01:27:43,958 --> 01:27:45,583
And then you're like kind of peek up to

1101
01:27:45,583 --> 01:27:47,125
see like, are you still there?

1102
01:27:47,125 --> 01:27:47,333
Yep.

1103
01:27:47,333 --> 01:27:47,708
Still there.

1104
01:27:48,125 --> 01:27:49,333
Just a single shot to the head.

1105
01:27:49,708 --> 01:27:50,291
Oh my gosh.

1106
01:27:50,875 --> 01:27:52,000
Anyway, so yeah, I mean

1107
01:27:52,000 --> 01:27:53,416
everybody's got neighbor stories.

1108
01:27:53,416 --> 01:27:55,666
That's why, you know, it's fun to bring

1109
01:27:55,666 --> 01:27:56,208
up things that other

1110
01:27:56,208 --> 01:27:57,000
people can kind of think

1111
01:27:57,083 --> 01:27:58,541
through like, what are my neighbors and

1112
01:27:58,541 --> 01:28:00,125
the crazy people we lived with?

1113
01:28:00,541 --> 01:28:00,875
Right.

1114
01:28:01,083 --> 01:28:01,416
You know?

1115
01:28:01,750 --> 01:28:02,541
So that was that one.

1116
01:28:02,541 --> 01:28:03,500
Everybody else there was good.

1117
01:28:03,500 --> 01:28:04,458
In fact, some of the people that are

1118
01:28:04,458 --> 01:28:05,083
across the street, the

1119
01:28:05,083 --> 01:28:07,041
Wallace's other names, they're

1120
01:28:07,041 --> 01:28:08,166
up in Minnesota now.

1121
01:28:08,166 --> 01:28:09,333
They're super nice.

1122
01:28:09,750 --> 01:28:10,333
Super nice.

1123
01:28:11,000 --> 01:28:11,583
Wally would help me

1124
01:28:11,583 --> 01:28:12,916
because you were gone.

1125
01:28:12,916 --> 01:28:13,166
Yeah.

1126
01:28:13,833 --> 01:28:14,833
For a good portion of

1127
01:28:14,833 --> 01:28:16,083
like our first winter there.

1128
01:28:16,083 --> 01:28:16,833
Traveled a lot for the bank.

1129
01:28:17,125 --> 01:28:18,416
And so he would help me.

1130
01:28:19,041 --> 01:28:19,666
Oh, that's when I was

1131
01:28:19,666 --> 01:28:20,666
living in San Francisco.

1132
01:28:21,041 --> 01:28:21,375
We lived in San Francisco.

1133
01:28:21,375 --> 01:28:22,125
We moved into this.

1134
01:28:22,416 --> 01:28:23,208
So here's this.

1135
01:28:23,541 --> 01:28:24,500
This is insane.

1136
01:28:25,125 --> 01:28:25,375
Yes.

1137
01:28:25,375 --> 01:28:26,416
We moved into this house

1138
01:28:26,416 --> 01:28:28,916
like December, like 19th.

1139
01:28:28,916 --> 01:28:29,500
I don't know the actual

1140
01:28:29,500 --> 01:28:30,500
date, but close to that.

1141
01:28:31,333 --> 01:28:32,958
And then I was in a special

1142
01:28:32,958 --> 01:28:35,958
program at Wells Fargo, CMTP.

1143
01:28:36,666 --> 01:28:38,791
So it was a big deal at the time.

1144
01:28:38,791 --> 01:28:40,083
Now everybody goes through it, but it's a

1145
01:28:40,083 --> 01:28:40,791
big deal at the time

1146
01:28:40,791 --> 01:28:42,291
to get chosen for it.

1147
01:28:42,541 --> 01:28:45,833
And I, but it was five

1148
01:28:45,833 --> 01:28:48,000
months in San Francisco.

1149
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:51,333
They relocated you to San Francisco and I

1150
01:28:51,333 --> 01:28:53,500
had to be there like January 6th.

1151
01:28:54,166 --> 01:28:55,625
I think was like my report date or

1152
01:28:55,625 --> 01:28:56,541
something like that.

1153
01:28:56,541 --> 01:28:57,500
So we knew this was coming.

1154
01:28:57,833 --> 01:28:59,250
The house was supposed to be finished by

1155
01:28:59,250 --> 01:29:01,958
like December 16th and they finished it.

1156
01:29:01,958 --> 01:29:03,291
We got in it like December 19th or

1157
01:29:03,291 --> 01:29:03,708
something like that,

1158
01:29:03,708 --> 01:29:05,333
but it was all white.

1159
01:29:05,541 --> 01:29:07,250
So I wanted to get some things in.

1160
01:29:07,250 --> 01:29:08,541
I got a house settled so

1161
01:29:08,541 --> 01:29:10,333
Meg, so you could be there.

1162
01:29:11,000 --> 01:29:13,916
So you could live there by yourself.

1163
01:29:14,416 --> 01:29:16,625
I mean, like from someone also that

1164
01:29:16,625 --> 01:29:19,041
enjoys things new, right?

1165
01:29:19,500 --> 01:29:21,083
You have no, I mean, you do know, because

1166
01:29:21,083 --> 01:29:21,791
I think I said it to

1167
01:29:21,791 --> 01:29:23,166
you, but it was so hard

1168
01:29:23,291 --> 01:29:25,916
to be like, we have a brand new house

1169
01:29:25,916 --> 01:29:26,958
that we've been building

1170
01:29:26,958 --> 01:29:28,208
for nine months or whatever

1171
01:29:28,208 --> 01:29:28,625
it was.

1172
01:29:29,041 --> 01:29:29,625
So excited.

1173
01:29:29,958 --> 01:29:31,625
And I don't get to break it in.

1174
01:29:31,750 --> 01:29:32,500
I get there.

1175
01:29:32,500 --> 01:29:34,041
I was literally in the house for seven

1176
01:29:34,041 --> 01:29:35,958
days, whatever it was, it

1177
01:29:35,958 --> 01:29:36,875
ended up being like seven

1178
01:29:36,875 --> 01:29:37,333
days.

1179
01:29:37,625 --> 01:29:38,041
That's it.

1180
01:29:38,208 --> 01:29:41,375
And I painted the entire two, uh, story

1181
01:29:41,375 --> 01:29:45,041
for a family room at that point in time.

1182
01:29:45,041 --> 01:29:46,000
I don't remember what else I did.

1183
01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:48,291
I got a couple of things ready and then I

1184
01:29:48,291 --> 01:29:49,166
was gone for five months.

1185
01:29:50,583 --> 01:29:51,541
So that's why I'm glad.

1186
01:29:51,583 --> 01:29:53,291
I was super nice guy.

1187
01:29:53,291 --> 01:29:54,625
I'm there still nice every now and then

1188
01:29:54,625 --> 01:29:55,500
they'll like Facebook.

1189
01:29:55,500 --> 01:29:56,041
Yeah.

1190
01:29:56,333 --> 01:29:56,500
Yeah.

1191
01:29:56,500 --> 01:29:57,750
We're friends with them on Facebook and

1192
01:29:57,750 --> 01:29:59,375
like, um, the people

1193
01:29:59,375 --> 01:30:00,916
behind us, actually all the,

1194
01:30:00,916 --> 01:30:04,625
all the neighbors other than, Oh, it

1195
01:30:04,625 --> 01:30:05,500
wasn't Michael and Evelyn.

1196
01:30:05,500 --> 01:30:06,291
It was Frank and Evelyn

1197
01:30:06,291 --> 01:30:07,458
other than Frank and Evelyn.

1198
01:30:08,708 --> 01:30:10,666
Um, like, we're still

1199
01:30:10,666 --> 01:30:11,541
friends with on Facebook.

1200
01:30:12,083 --> 01:30:12,291
Yeah.

1201
01:30:12,666 --> 01:30:15,375
So yeah, Sherry Mahoney was, you know,

1202
01:30:15,375 --> 01:30:16,125
so, oh, the Mahoney.

1203
01:30:16,625 --> 01:30:16,833
Yes.

1204
01:30:17,041 --> 01:30:17,625
Behind us.

1205
01:30:17,958 --> 01:30:19,333
He was an electrician.

1206
01:30:19,333 --> 01:30:20,416
She was super nice.

1207
01:30:20,458 --> 01:30:22,250
They had young kids similar to our age.

1208
01:30:22,791 --> 01:30:22,958
Yeah. Yeah.

1209
01:30:22,958 --> 01:30:24,333
I think they did very well in life.

1210
01:30:24,333 --> 01:30:26,416
Kendra Jordan was next door, you know, so

1211
01:30:26,416 --> 01:30:27,916
it's like, we knew we

1212
01:30:27,916 --> 01:30:28,791
actually had some really

1213
01:30:28,791 --> 01:30:29,291
good neighbors.

1214
01:30:30,041 --> 01:30:31,208
Frank and Evelyn obviously

1215
01:30:31,208 --> 01:30:32,583
had a troubled life, but.

1216
01:30:32,583 --> 01:30:32,875
Sands.

1217
01:30:35,625 --> 01:30:36,708
And we didn't have anybody across the

1218
01:30:36,708 --> 01:30:37,500
street because it wasn't even built.

1219
01:30:37,666 --> 01:30:38,000
It wasn't built.

1220
01:30:38,291 --> 01:30:39,291
But those were kind of on that other

1221
01:30:39,291 --> 01:30:40,166
street that was already built.

1222
01:30:40,416 --> 01:30:40,625
Yeah.

1223
01:30:40,875 --> 01:30:41,916
So we were there for, I

1224
01:30:41,916 --> 01:30:42,625
don't know, eight years.

1225
01:30:42,625 --> 01:30:44,000
We were there for a long time, seven

1226
01:30:44,000 --> 01:30:47,583
years, six years, five years, whatever.

1227
01:30:48,041 --> 01:30:48,666
I could do an app.

1228
01:30:48,708 --> 01:30:49,958
So something like that.

1229
01:30:50,125 --> 01:30:50,791
I'm going to say eight

1230
01:30:50,791 --> 01:30:52,208
years, something like that.

1231
01:30:52,708 --> 01:30:56,250
And then we relocated to the bank,

1232
01:30:56,250 --> 01:30:58,541
relocated me to back out to Colorado.

1233
01:30:59,333 --> 01:31:00,666
That's when we were on Al Roost.

1234
01:31:01,541 --> 01:31:05,541
And those neighbors were, you just take

1235
01:31:05,541 --> 01:31:07,458
our age at the time, times two.

1236
01:31:08,541 --> 01:31:09,166
And that was our neighbors.

1237
01:31:09,791 --> 01:31:10,375
We didn't fit in.

1238
01:31:10,708 --> 01:31:12,500
But one of them, we

1239
01:31:12,500 --> 01:31:16,000
still get Gary and Lou.

1240
01:31:17,333 --> 01:31:19,166
We get their Christmas card every year.

1241
01:31:19,541 --> 01:31:20,291
And they're one of the

1242
01:31:20,291 --> 01:31:21,208
ones that type it out.

1243
01:31:21,416 --> 01:31:22,125
Here's what's happening.

1244
01:31:22,458 --> 01:31:22,666
Oh.

1245
01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:24,000
Nicest people.

1246
01:31:24,666 --> 01:31:25,875
So sweet.

1247
01:31:25,875 --> 01:31:26,791
And she writes a handwritten

1248
01:31:26,791 --> 01:31:28,958
note to us every single time.

1249
01:31:28,958 --> 01:31:31,208
Because I sent her, I sent them a

1250
01:31:31,208 --> 01:31:32,291
Christmas card as well.

1251
01:31:32,583 --> 01:31:32,791
Yeah.

1252
01:31:33,208 --> 01:31:34,125
And oh my gosh.

1253
01:31:34,125 --> 01:31:34,333
Yeah.

1254
01:31:35,000 --> 01:31:37,500
Lou and Gary Colhane are sweetest people.

1255
01:31:37,916 --> 01:31:38,458
But they were really

1256
01:31:38,458 --> 01:31:39,500
the only people we knew.

1257
01:31:39,791 --> 01:31:40,041
Yeah.

1258
01:31:40,541 --> 01:31:41,583
On that entire street.

1259
01:31:41,833 --> 01:31:41,958
Yeah.

1260
01:31:41,958 --> 01:31:42,958
And everybody was twice our age.

1261
01:31:43,791 --> 01:31:46,916
And it was a neighborhood that didn't

1262
01:31:46,916 --> 01:31:48,875
have anybody our age.

1263
01:31:49,333 --> 01:31:49,541
No.

1264
01:31:49,833 --> 01:31:51,541
Our kids would not have been playing in

1265
01:31:51,541 --> 01:31:52,083
the street because

1266
01:31:52,083 --> 01:31:52,958
there were no children.

1267
01:31:52,958 --> 01:31:53,166
No.

1268
01:31:53,500 --> 01:31:54,666
Even though there was a park

1269
01:31:54,666 --> 01:31:56,291
literally across the street.

1270
01:31:56,291 --> 01:31:56,708
It was fantastic.

1271
01:31:56,958 --> 01:31:57,791
I loved that house.

1272
01:31:57,791 --> 01:31:59,000
We finished the basement in it.

1273
01:31:59,291 --> 01:32:00,583
We finished that whole house.

1274
01:32:00,583 --> 01:32:01,541
People probably thought, yeah.

1275
01:32:01,625 --> 01:32:01,875
Yeah.

1276
01:32:01,875 --> 01:32:02,041
Oh yeah.

1277
01:32:02,041 --> 01:32:02,250
That's right.

1278
01:32:02,250 --> 01:32:03,166
We redid that whole house.

1279
01:32:03,166 --> 01:32:04,166
We redid the whole thing.

1280
01:32:04,166 --> 01:32:05,416
People had to think we were crazy though

1281
01:32:05,416 --> 01:32:06,041
because we had like a

1282
01:32:06,041 --> 01:32:07,083
three year old, a two year old

1283
01:32:07,083 --> 01:32:08,291
and then a newborn in that house.

1284
01:32:08,291 --> 01:32:08,500
A newborn.

1285
01:32:10,125 --> 01:32:10,333
We.

1286
01:32:10,500 --> 01:32:11,958
Our youngest was born in that house.

1287
01:32:13,125 --> 01:32:13,250
Yeah.

1288
01:32:13,791 --> 01:32:14,250
Our other two were

1289
01:32:14,250 --> 01:32:15,000
born in the other house.

1290
01:32:15,333 --> 01:32:15,500
Right.

1291
01:32:15,500 --> 01:32:15,708
The one that we were

1292
01:32:15,708 --> 01:32:16,375
just talking about in your.

1293
01:32:16,666 --> 01:32:16,875
Right.

1294
01:32:17,208 --> 01:32:19,500
We were just at that stage of life where

1295
01:32:19,500 --> 01:32:21,583
like, you know, as long

1296
01:32:21,583 --> 01:32:22,291
as we're having babies,

1297
01:32:22,500 --> 01:32:24,833
we may as well, you know, finish it up.

1298
01:32:25,291 --> 01:32:26,291
So anyways, I mean,

1299
01:32:26,291 --> 01:32:27,333
yeah, Al Roost was great.

1300
01:32:28,500 --> 01:32:29,791
We had a couple of neighbors there, a

1301
01:32:29,791 --> 01:32:30,375
couple that we just

1302
01:32:30,375 --> 01:32:31,916
didn't fit into and then down

1303
01:32:31,916 --> 01:32:32,500
here to Texas.

1304
01:32:32,791 --> 01:32:33,000
Yeah.

1305
01:32:33,500 --> 01:32:33,750
Right.

1306
01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:35,333
And we've been here for

1307
01:32:35,333 --> 01:32:38,875
literally almost, almost a decade.

1308
01:32:39,375 --> 01:32:39,916
Not almost.

1309
01:32:40,541 --> 01:32:41,000
Oh my gosh.

1310
01:32:41,541 --> 01:32:43,250
It's been over a decade.

1311
01:32:43,708 --> 01:32:44,166
Over a decade.

1312
01:32:44,458 --> 01:32:44,958
So we moved.

1313
01:32:44,958 --> 01:32:45,458
2015.

1314
01:32:45,875 --> 01:32:46,083
Yep.

1315
01:32:46,250 --> 01:32:49,166
We moved in February of, beginning of,

1316
01:32:49,541 --> 01:32:51,208
sorry, end of January 2015.

1317
01:32:51,541 --> 01:32:53,333
And we never thought, I mean, did you

1318
01:32:53,333 --> 01:32:54,291
ever think in a million

1319
01:32:54,291 --> 01:32:55,250
years you live in Texas?

1320
01:32:55,666 --> 01:32:55,875
No.

1321
01:32:57,625 --> 01:32:58,000
Me either.

1322
01:32:58,500 --> 01:32:59,041
Me either.

1323
01:32:59,708 --> 01:33:00,916
Like, of all the places.

1324
01:33:01,208 --> 01:33:01,458
Yeah.

1325
01:33:01,458 --> 01:33:03,250
In fact, we joked when we had our

1326
01:33:03,250 --> 01:33:04,625
daughter, because her name,

1327
01:33:04,625 --> 01:33:06,166
if you were to put a Southern

1328
01:33:06,166 --> 01:33:09,083
accent with her name, it's

1329
01:33:09,083 --> 01:33:10,416
very Southern Belle sounding.

1330
01:33:10,750 --> 01:33:11,708
And so we're like, well, we can never

1331
01:33:11,708 --> 01:33:12,291
live in the South

1332
01:33:12,291 --> 01:33:13,750
because, you know, that's, that's

1333
01:33:13,750 --> 01:33:15,083
not really the intent of her name.

1334
01:33:16,500 --> 01:33:17,166
Well, guess what?

1335
01:33:17,500 --> 01:33:18,375
The irony is.

1336
01:33:19,250 --> 01:33:19,458
Yeah.

1337
01:33:19,625 --> 01:33:20,083
Here we are.

1338
01:33:20,458 --> 01:33:21,958
Well, we almost did because my

1339
01:33:21,958 --> 01:33:24,125
grandmother's name is Ava Nell.

1340
01:33:25,041 --> 01:33:25,250
Right.

1341
01:33:25,541 --> 01:33:27,791
And we almost named our daughter Ava

1342
01:33:27,791 --> 01:33:30,458
Belle, but we didn't.

1343
01:33:30,458 --> 01:33:30,666
Yeah.

1344
01:33:31,500 --> 01:33:32,625
Then it really would have been.

1345
01:33:32,625 --> 01:33:34,333
Which would have been very Texan.

1346
01:33:34,875 --> 01:33:35,625
Very Southern.

1347
01:33:36,000 --> 01:33:37,916
A cute little name, but she's definitely,

1348
01:33:38,333 --> 01:33:39,958
her name is definitely what she is.

1349
01:33:40,416 --> 01:33:41,083
Yes.

1350
01:33:42,250 --> 01:33:42,458
So.

1351
01:33:42,708 --> 01:33:42,916
Yeah.

1352
01:33:44,208 --> 01:33:45,833
And I don't think people say usually, you

1353
01:33:45,833 --> 01:33:46,583
know, because that

1354
01:33:46,583 --> 01:33:47,750
was her first and middle

1355
01:33:47,958 --> 01:33:48,041
name.

1356
01:33:48,041 --> 01:33:49,833
So I don't think they usually call her by

1357
01:33:49,833 --> 01:33:50,708
her first and middle name.

1358
01:33:50,708 --> 01:33:51,666
Things are all backwards here.

1359
01:33:51,875 --> 01:33:52,208
It was weird.

1360
01:33:52,208 --> 01:33:52,833
I mean, we never

1361
01:33:52,833 --> 01:33:53,875
thought we'd live in Texas.

1362
01:33:53,875 --> 01:33:54,458
You never thought that?

1363
01:33:54,750 --> 01:33:54,958
No.

1364
01:33:55,333 --> 01:33:56,583
I was born in Dallas.

1365
01:33:57,208 --> 01:33:57,583
Yeah.

1366
01:33:57,583 --> 01:33:59,458
Which is, which was the weird oddity.

1367
01:33:59,458 --> 01:34:01,958
So it's almost like, people are like,

1368
01:34:01,958 --> 01:34:03,250
like when I'm here, I

1369
01:34:03,250 --> 01:34:04,458
hate the question now when

1370
01:34:04,625 --> 01:34:06,500
I, when I live in Texas, people are like,

1371
01:34:06,500 --> 01:34:07,125
where were you born?

1372
01:34:07,833 --> 01:34:09,875
I'm like, Dallas.

1373
01:34:11,791 --> 01:34:13,625
With a huge caveat here.

1374
01:34:14,291 --> 01:34:15,208
I grew up in Colorado.

1375
01:34:15,208 --> 01:34:17,291
I consider myself a Colorado boy because

1376
01:34:17,291 --> 01:34:18,541
I lived in Colorado for 30 years.

1377
01:34:19,000 --> 01:34:19,125
Yeah.

1378
01:34:19,125 --> 01:34:20,666
And we moved to Colorado and I was like,

1379
01:34:21,083 --> 01:34:22,500
before I was a year old.

1380
01:34:22,500 --> 01:34:22,750
Yeah.

1381
01:34:23,041 --> 01:34:23,250
Right.

1382
01:34:23,416 --> 01:34:25,833
So I am not, I'm a Colorado boy.

1383
01:34:26,791 --> 01:34:28,875
So we're, so we moved to the other house,

1384
01:34:28,875 --> 01:34:30,708
I guess over a decade ago.

1385
01:34:30,958 --> 01:34:31,125
Yeah.

1386
01:34:31,458 --> 01:34:33,916
And that was a, that was really a pretty

1387
01:34:33,916 --> 01:34:34,791
nice neighborhood too.

1388
01:34:34,791 --> 01:34:35,625
That was a little bit of a

1389
01:34:35,625 --> 01:34:36,625
Sesame Street neighborhood.

1390
01:34:37,125 --> 01:34:38,875
It was the kids.

1391
01:34:38,875 --> 01:34:42,000
I mean, the kids played outside and

1392
01:34:42,000 --> 01:34:43,000
everyone was in the streets.

1393
01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:44,250
We lived in a cul-de-sac.

1394
01:34:44,250 --> 01:34:45,500
So we had a cul-de-sac at the end there.

1395
01:34:45,500 --> 01:34:47,583
We had the Urnsons and the Deepen Chinsos

1396
01:34:47,583 --> 01:34:48,458
right across from us.

1397
01:34:48,458 --> 01:34:50,916
Both of them our age, maybe a little bit,

1398
01:34:50,916 --> 01:34:51,500
a couple of years

1399
01:34:51,500 --> 01:34:53,166
older, maybe, but around,

1400
01:34:53,166 --> 01:34:53,791
I mean, we were the same age.

1401
01:34:53,791 --> 01:34:56,083
But kids our age, same stage of life.

1402
01:34:56,083 --> 01:34:57,833
And that was another Sesame Street.

1403
01:34:57,833 --> 01:34:59,458
That was a fun time.

1404
01:34:59,458 --> 01:35:00,125
It was.

1405
01:35:00,375 --> 01:35:01,958
And our kids had a blast.

1406
01:35:02,208 --> 01:35:03,708
It was the type of neighborhood that we

1407
01:35:03,708 --> 01:35:05,375
would send our kids outside.

1408
01:35:06,250 --> 01:35:06,500
Yes.

1409
01:35:06,791 --> 01:35:10,000
Our youngest and apologize to, it was the

1410
01:35:10,000 --> 01:35:12,000
Grisers who ended up bringing Liam home.

1411
01:35:12,500 --> 01:35:12,708
Sorry.

1412
01:35:12,708 --> 01:35:14,458
It was the Grisers who ended up bringing

1413
01:35:14,458 --> 01:35:17,500
our youngest home one time because he may

1414
01:35:17,500 --> 01:35:18,875
have gotten out, you

1415
01:35:18,875 --> 01:35:21,583
know, but without clothes.

1416
01:35:22,625 --> 01:35:25,833
Again, as a baby, as a 19 year old.

1417
01:35:26,416 --> 01:35:28,791
Anyway, you know, 19 now, it was just one

1418
01:35:28,791 --> 01:35:29,291
of those things

1419
01:35:29,291 --> 01:35:30,625
where, yeah, we would send

1420
01:35:30,625 --> 01:35:32,208
our kids out and they would play.

1421
01:35:32,500 --> 01:35:34,125
And it was the, those

1422
01:35:34,125 --> 01:35:35,458
were in and out all the time.

1423
01:35:35,541 --> 01:35:38,000
I almost look at those times like we were

1424
01:35:38,000 --> 01:35:40,750
young, like remember like Tony across the

1425
01:35:40,750 --> 01:35:41,083
way.

1426
01:35:41,375 --> 01:35:41,541
Yeah.

1427
01:35:41,958 --> 01:35:42,083
Right.

1428
01:35:42,083 --> 01:35:45,458
Like Tony, they moved too soon,

1429
01:35:45,458 --> 01:35:47,083
unfortunately, because they were great.

1430
01:35:47,500 --> 01:35:47,750
Yeah.

1431
01:35:47,750 --> 01:35:48,125
Tony and Kristen.

1432
01:35:49,916 --> 01:35:51,750
But I called him like my older brother.

1433
01:35:52,458 --> 01:35:52,666
Yeah.

1434
01:35:52,875 --> 01:35:53,583
Because like he played

1435
01:35:53,583 --> 01:35:55,916
basketball or Texas Tech.

1436
01:35:56,000 --> 01:35:56,500
Yeah.

1437
01:35:56,500 --> 01:35:57,958
He's a walk on, I think, there.

1438
01:35:57,958 --> 01:36:00,000
And then he took me a couple of times to

1439
01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:01,041
his gym and we'd

1440
01:36:01,041 --> 01:36:02,166
play, even though I hadn't

1441
01:36:02,166 --> 01:36:03,333
played a long time or whatnot.

1442
01:36:03,500 --> 01:36:05,500
He knew I was trying to play

1443
01:36:05,500 --> 01:36:06,708
as well as I could with them.

1444
01:36:07,291 --> 01:36:08,375
Like they were such fun people.

1445
01:36:08,750 --> 01:36:11,208
And then the Urnsons, like we went to a

1446
01:36:11,208 --> 01:36:13,000
ton of concerts with them.

1447
01:36:13,208 --> 01:36:15,000
We would do Halloween with them.

1448
01:36:15,000 --> 01:36:17,833
I mean, like, yeah, we really, you know,

1449
01:36:17,833 --> 01:36:19,083
had a nice little

1450
01:36:19,083 --> 01:36:21,791
couple of years of a nice

1451
01:36:21,791 --> 01:36:23,041
little Sesame Street situation.

1452
01:36:23,375 --> 01:36:24,083
We really did.

1453
01:36:24,333 --> 01:36:25,000
Yeah, we did.

1454
01:36:26,041 --> 01:36:27,166
And then we moved to this house.

1455
01:36:28,916 --> 01:36:29,458
Well, I'm just trying

1456
01:36:29,458 --> 01:36:30,250
to think, let's go back.

1457
01:36:30,250 --> 01:36:30,875
We're talking about neighbors.

1458
01:36:31,291 --> 01:36:32,541
I mean, not that we're dedicating this

1459
01:36:32,541 --> 01:36:33,541
whole show to basically

1460
01:36:33,541 --> 01:36:35,458
is dedicated to this to

1461
01:36:35,458 --> 01:36:36,208
neighbors at this

1462
01:36:36,208 --> 01:36:38,875
point, but so we knew them.

1463
01:36:39,458 --> 01:36:39,625
Yeah.

1464
01:36:41,000 --> 01:36:43,583
We had who was next to us?

1465
01:36:43,833 --> 01:36:44,041
Kara.

1466
01:36:44,250 --> 01:36:45,416
Oh, yeah, we had the care.

1467
01:36:45,416 --> 01:36:46,750
So we had the Helms and the Grisors.

1468
01:36:47,000 --> 01:36:48,291
Helms, the Helms and the Grisors.

1469
01:36:48,291 --> 01:36:48,500
Yeah.

1470
01:36:48,500 --> 01:36:49,791
The Grisors moved in a little bit later.

1471
01:36:49,791 --> 01:36:50,500
Super nice.

1472
01:36:50,666 --> 01:36:51,166
Oh, yeah.

1473
01:36:51,416 --> 01:36:51,625
People.

1474
01:36:52,041 --> 01:36:53,208
The Helms care.

1475
01:36:53,625 --> 01:36:54,375
Super nice.

1476
01:36:54,791 --> 01:36:55,416
Oh, my gosh.

1477
01:36:56,000 --> 01:36:56,583
So nice.

1478
01:36:56,583 --> 01:36:57,500
I know she was busy with

1479
01:36:57,500 --> 01:36:58,250
a whole bunch of stuff.

1480
01:36:58,250 --> 01:36:59,625
Her kids were a little bit older than us.

1481
01:37:00,041 --> 01:37:01,125
But how funny her

1482
01:37:01,125 --> 01:37:03,333
husband was like a ghost.

1483
01:37:04,708 --> 01:37:05,750
We never saw her.

1484
01:37:05,750 --> 01:37:08,000
I mean, like, I can't think of his name.

1485
01:37:08,000 --> 01:37:08,208
Robert.

1486
01:37:08,416 --> 01:37:08,666
Robert.

1487
01:37:09,083 --> 01:37:09,875
Gosh, it's terrible.

1488
01:37:10,708 --> 01:37:12,541
But we never saw Robert every now and

1489
01:37:12,541 --> 01:37:13,250
then I'd see Robert and

1490
01:37:13,250 --> 01:37:14,333
be like, Hey, Robert, how

1491
01:37:14,333 --> 01:37:14,708
are you?

1492
01:37:14,708 --> 01:37:16,250
And he'd be like, Good.

1493
01:37:18,666 --> 01:37:19,458
They'd go in.

1494
01:37:20,166 --> 01:37:20,375
Remember?

1495
01:37:20,791 --> 01:37:22,750
So Robert's father.

1496
01:37:23,625 --> 01:37:24,916
Oh, Bill Bob.

1497
01:37:25,291 --> 01:37:26,666
Bob lived in the house.

1498
01:37:26,666 --> 01:37:27,875
Bob was great for a while.

1499
01:37:28,166 --> 01:37:29,708
Bob all the time.

1500
01:37:29,708 --> 01:37:30,791
But he was chatty.

1501
01:37:30,791 --> 01:37:31,500
Oh, gosh.

1502
01:37:31,500 --> 01:37:32,291
Bob was amazing.

1503
01:37:32,291 --> 01:37:32,958
He was super nice.

1504
01:37:33,333 --> 01:37:33,541
Yeah.

1505
01:37:33,958 --> 01:37:34,625
So nice.

1506
01:37:35,333 --> 01:37:36,083
But we never saw Robert.

1507
01:37:36,375 --> 01:37:36,666
There was some.

1508
01:37:37,500 --> 01:37:38,625
Like, so we saw his dad.

1509
01:37:38,625 --> 01:37:38,833
Some.

1510
01:37:38,833 --> 01:37:39,875
I think he was just busy with career.

1511
01:37:40,250 --> 01:37:42,000
I think he was like an I think he was a

1512
01:37:42,000 --> 01:37:46,541
radio voice for real estate.

1513
01:37:46,916 --> 01:37:47,583
He did this thing.

1514
01:37:47,791 --> 01:37:49,416
Like he did this kind of stuff before

1515
01:37:49,416 --> 01:37:50,541
this money was like a

1516
01:37:50,541 --> 01:37:51,625
yeah, before it was a

1517
01:37:51,625 --> 01:37:51,916
thing.

1518
01:37:52,250 --> 01:37:53,875
Yeah, he wasn't he was a real estate.

1519
01:37:53,875 --> 01:37:54,541
I was in real estate.

1520
01:37:54,791 --> 01:37:55,000
Yeah.

1521
01:37:55,333 --> 01:37:55,541
Yeah.

1522
01:37:55,625 --> 01:37:56,166
Oh, my gosh.

1523
01:37:56,166 --> 01:37:56,666
Nice people.

1524
01:37:57,375 --> 01:37:58,000
Super nice.

1525
01:37:58,333 --> 01:37:58,541
Yeah.

1526
01:37:58,958 --> 01:37:59,875
So that was that was a fun.

1527
01:38:00,291 --> 01:38:01,416
But that was the reason.

1528
01:38:01,416 --> 01:38:02,958
But you talk about neighborhoods, though,

1529
01:38:03,750 --> 01:38:04,791
that neighborhood had

1530
01:38:04,791 --> 01:38:06,916
that was our first, I

1531
01:38:07,041 --> 01:38:08,083
think, HOA.

1532
01:38:08,750 --> 01:38:09,208
Yeah.

1533
01:38:10,125 --> 01:38:11,500
And the HOA.

1534
01:38:12,833 --> 01:38:14,416
That's no bueno.

1535
01:38:17,958 --> 01:38:19,291
Com Sean.

1536
01:38:23,875 --> 01:38:24,208
Yeah.

1537
01:38:24,958 --> 01:38:26,375
That was an issue.

1538
01:38:26,875 --> 01:38:27,500
That was an issue.

1539
01:38:27,833 --> 01:38:30,708
So at some point, we put a pool house in

1540
01:38:30,708 --> 01:38:31,625
our backyard and we

1541
01:38:31,625 --> 01:38:32,500
did some changes in the

1542
01:38:32,500 --> 01:38:35,000
backyard, all of which I went through the

1543
01:38:35,000 --> 01:38:36,416
proper channels and

1544
01:38:36,416 --> 01:38:37,458
since stuff to the HOA

1545
01:38:37,458 --> 01:38:38,958
and got it pre-approved everything.

1546
01:38:39,750 --> 01:38:41,291
But here's just a side

1547
01:38:41,291 --> 01:38:42,291
side note on that one.

1548
01:38:42,291 --> 01:38:43,375
So we built this pool house in the

1549
01:38:43,375 --> 01:38:44,458
backyard that matched

1550
01:38:44,458 --> 01:38:45,541
the architecture of our

1551
01:38:45,541 --> 01:38:47,166
house, which was a French Chateau type.

1552
01:38:47,166 --> 01:38:47,375
Yes.

1553
01:38:47,916 --> 01:38:51,583
But along the way, while we were just

1554
01:38:51,583 --> 01:38:54,250
building it, I made this

1555
01:38:54,250 --> 01:38:56,083
one because it had like a

1556
01:38:57,250 --> 01:38:58,041
what do you call that thing?

1557
01:38:58,041 --> 01:38:59,875
It was like a tower or a turret.

1558
01:39:00,125 --> 01:39:02,375
It had like a tower, but the tower is

1559
01:39:02,375 --> 01:39:03,791
going to have a cone on

1560
01:39:03,791 --> 01:39:04,750
it because it matched blah,

1561
01:39:04,750 --> 01:39:05,041
blah, blah.

1562
01:39:05,500 --> 01:39:08,750
But along the way to make it fun, I made

1563
01:39:08,750 --> 01:39:10,583
it into like a castle tower.

1564
01:39:10,583 --> 01:39:13,750
So for the kids, because I designed it so

1565
01:39:13,750 --> 01:39:14,583
you could get up there.

1566
01:39:14,791 --> 01:39:16,250
So it was like 20 feet high.

1567
01:39:16,250 --> 01:39:17,916
And that's I always think it's fun to

1568
01:39:17,916 --> 01:39:19,666
have you like a lookout tower type thing.

1569
01:39:19,666 --> 01:39:20,500
So I made it fun for

1570
01:39:20,500 --> 01:39:21,291
the kids to get up there.

1571
01:39:21,916 --> 01:39:24,875
Well, oh, God, the HOA saw

1572
01:39:24,875 --> 01:39:26,916
that we had a castle tower.

1573
01:39:27,291 --> 01:39:28,000
By the way, it's

1574
01:39:28,000 --> 01:39:32,083
clearly, clearly not finished.

1575
01:39:32,458 --> 01:39:32,750
Oh, yeah.

1576
01:39:32,750 --> 01:39:36,041
I mean, it was I had a hardy board right

1577
01:39:36,041 --> 01:39:37,166
on the outside of it.

1578
01:39:37,166 --> 01:39:37,375
Right.

1579
01:39:37,916 --> 01:39:40,583
And they knew the final finish was stone.

1580
01:39:41,250 --> 01:39:42,125
So I had hardy board.

1581
01:39:42,125 --> 01:39:43,666
Actually, it was flexible hardy board

1582
01:39:43,666 --> 01:39:44,916
because it was on a curve.

1583
01:39:47,750 --> 01:39:52,750
So I had we had the HOA like they brought

1584
01:39:52,750 --> 01:39:53,458
everybody in their

1585
01:39:53,458 --> 01:39:55,458
mom just knocking on our

1586
01:39:55,541 --> 01:39:57,500
door, walking through our house,

1587
01:39:57,791 --> 01:40:00,291
demanding to see the backyard.

1588
01:40:01,041 --> 01:40:01,666
Because he had a

1589
01:40:01,666 --> 01:40:02,958
fiduciary responsibility.

1590
01:40:03,708 --> 01:40:04,375
Oh, my God.

1591
01:40:05,541 --> 01:40:06,833
He sent me the email.

1592
01:40:07,083 --> 01:40:10,583
I have a fiduciary duty to this

1593
01:40:10,583 --> 01:40:11,958
neighborhood to

1594
01:40:11,958 --> 01:40:14,000
preserve the architectural.

1595
01:40:14,458 --> 01:40:17,041
You know, are you kidding me?

1596
01:40:17,958 --> 01:40:18,166
Oh, my gosh, it was.

1597
01:40:19,000 --> 01:40:19,166
Yeah.

1598
01:40:19,500 --> 01:40:21,000
Oh, my gosh.

1599
01:40:21,708 --> 01:40:23,125
We only like to talk about people.

1600
01:40:23,125 --> 01:40:24,125
Like if we're going to say something nice

1601
01:40:24,125 --> 01:40:25,166
about someone, we'll say their name.

1602
01:40:25,166 --> 01:40:27,416
Yeah, I want to talk smack about.

1603
01:40:27,666 --> 01:40:28,916
But oh, he was insane.

1604
01:40:29,166 --> 01:40:30,500
Yeah, I was like from that moment.

1605
01:40:30,500 --> 01:40:31,666
I'm like, I'm not going to live here long

1606
01:40:31,666 --> 01:40:33,375
term because that guy,

1607
01:40:33,375 --> 01:40:35,166
he was the classic HOA

1608
01:40:35,166 --> 01:40:36,666
president or whatever he was.

1609
01:40:37,208 --> 01:40:38,833
And like beside our

1610
01:40:38,833 --> 01:40:40,333
driveway and like tried it.

1611
01:40:40,333 --> 01:40:40,541
Oh, yeah.

1612
01:40:40,583 --> 01:40:42,208
We could see them from our we would look

1613
01:40:42,208 --> 01:40:43,083
out of our our

1614
01:40:43,083 --> 01:40:44,458
windows in the front of the

1615
01:40:44,458 --> 01:40:46,125
house. You could see him down the street

1616
01:40:46,125 --> 01:40:47,875
like trying to peek into our backyard,

1617
01:40:48,083 --> 01:40:49,875
trying to look over, trying to see what's

1618
01:40:49,875 --> 01:40:50,916
happening in our backyard.

1619
01:40:52,708 --> 01:40:56,041
And that was that was the seed.

1620
01:40:56,708 --> 01:40:57,958
Yeah, that was the seed that was like,

1621
01:40:57,958 --> 01:40:58,875
I'm not going to live here.

1622
01:40:59,291 --> 01:41:01,416
There is no way I'm not going to be

1623
01:41:01,416 --> 01:41:02,625
exposed to someone like

1624
01:41:02,625 --> 01:41:03,416
that who could tell me what

1625
01:41:03,416 --> 01:41:04,041
to do in my life.

1626
01:41:04,041 --> 01:41:04,916
I'm a grown man.

1627
01:41:05,333 --> 01:41:05,625
Right.

1628
01:41:05,833 --> 01:41:07,291
There's no way I'm going to let someone

1629
01:41:07,291 --> 01:41:08,625
like that tell me what I can do.

1630
01:41:09,625 --> 01:41:12,041
Especially within the

1631
01:41:12,041 --> 01:41:13,291
scopes of the rules.

1632
01:41:13,500 --> 01:41:15,541
I am a full roll rule follower.

1633
01:41:15,541 --> 01:41:16,583
That's exactly right.

1634
01:41:16,708 --> 01:41:17,791
That's exactly right.

1635
01:41:17,791 --> 01:41:18,750
You approved it already.

1636
01:41:19,000 --> 01:41:20,500
I'm going to finish it the way I said I

1637
01:41:20,500 --> 01:41:21,291
was going to approve it.

1638
01:41:21,583 --> 01:41:23,250
I did something fun for the kids in the

1639
01:41:23,250 --> 01:41:24,708
meantime while we're building it.

1640
01:41:26,375 --> 01:41:28,958
And you guys had to have a issue.

1641
01:41:29,500 --> 01:41:31,250
Yeah, like I was crazy.

1642
01:41:31,625 --> 01:41:33,208
So we set the record with the highest

1643
01:41:33,208 --> 01:41:34,166
cell in that neighborhood.

1644
01:41:34,750 --> 01:41:35,750
And we built this house.

1645
01:41:37,333 --> 01:41:37,791
You're welcome.

1646
01:41:38,833 --> 01:41:39,083
Yeah.

1647
01:41:39,875 --> 01:41:40,791
And good riddance.

1648
01:41:42,000 --> 01:41:42,291
All right.

1649
01:41:43,958 --> 01:41:44,750
Clearly, I hold a lot.

1650
01:41:45,083 --> 01:41:47,583
That guy but but it just does it does bug

1651
01:41:47,583 --> 01:41:48,500
me when people

1652
01:41:48,500 --> 01:41:51,666
leverage the smallest amount

1653
01:41:51,666 --> 01:41:53,166
of influence that they have.

1654
01:41:53,166 --> 01:41:54,416
Yeah, in a negative way.

1655
01:41:54,666 --> 01:41:54,875
Yes.

1656
01:41:55,250 --> 01:41:57,125
And this was this was an HOA president.

1657
01:41:57,416 --> 01:41:58,208
Like give me a break.

1658
01:41:58,208 --> 01:41:58,541
I know.

1659
01:41:58,708 --> 01:42:00,125
Like there's a way to handle this.

1660
01:42:00,500 --> 01:42:01,541
But if you want to handle

1661
01:42:01,541 --> 01:42:03,416
it like you're, you know,

1662
01:42:05,291 --> 01:42:06,958
a mob boss, bringing

1663
01:42:06,958 --> 01:42:08,166
down the weight on me.

1664
01:42:08,666 --> 01:42:09,416
You know what I mean?

1665
01:42:09,416 --> 01:42:10,333
It's the craziest thing.

1666
01:42:10,333 --> 01:42:11,541
Oh my gosh.

1667
01:42:12,875 --> 01:42:13,791
Quote Taylor Swift.

1668
01:42:14,833 --> 01:42:16,166
Never wield such power.

1669
01:42:16,166 --> 01:42:17,375
You forget to be polite.

1670
01:42:18,458 --> 01:42:21,750
I'm gonna I'm gonna quote Justin Bieber

1671
01:42:21,750 --> 01:42:22,875
and say go love yourself.

1672
01:42:26,333 --> 01:42:26,833
All right.

1673
01:42:26,833 --> 01:42:27,458
That's it.

1674
01:42:27,458 --> 01:42:28,000
Where are we at?

1675
01:42:28,000 --> 01:42:28,708
Where are we at here?

1676
01:42:28,708 --> 01:42:30,250
We're getting now I'm getting long.

1677
01:42:30,250 --> 01:42:31,083
Well, we're back at school.

1678
01:42:31,541 --> 01:42:33,000
Yes, back into the regular.

1679
01:42:34,500 --> 01:42:35,458
I guess schedule.

1680
01:42:35,875 --> 01:42:36,333
We are.

1681
01:42:37,041 --> 01:42:37,875
How's it feel for you?

1682
01:42:38,125 --> 01:42:39,250
It's a weird being here.

1683
01:42:39,250 --> 01:42:39,833
I've been been

1684
01:42:39,833 --> 01:42:41,250
working away from the house.

1685
01:42:41,250 --> 01:42:41,500
Right.

1686
01:42:42,541 --> 01:42:43,541
For the last week and

1687
01:42:43,541 --> 01:42:44,500
a half or two weeks.

1688
01:42:44,833 --> 01:42:45,916
So you're here all alone

1689
01:42:45,916 --> 01:42:46,791
right now, which is odd.

1690
01:42:47,208 --> 01:42:49,666
I'm not I'm not the I'm not the other

1691
01:42:49,666 --> 01:42:51,208
person in the other office in the house.

1692
01:42:51,500 --> 01:42:51,708
I know.

1693
01:42:51,958 --> 01:42:52,166
I know.

1694
01:42:52,541 --> 01:42:54,166
If we have to email each other, it's

1695
01:42:54,166 --> 01:42:55,875
always like, I love you says

1696
01:42:55,875 --> 01:42:57,125
the person in the back of the,

1697
01:42:57,125 --> 01:42:57,708
you know, in the office

1698
01:42:57,708 --> 01:42:58,625
at the back of the house.

1699
01:42:58,875 --> 01:42:59,041
Yeah.

1700
01:42:59,541 --> 01:42:59,750
Um.

1701
01:42:59,750 --> 01:43:00,500
The office around the corner.

1702
01:43:00,875 --> 01:43:02,250
It's it's strange.

1703
01:43:02,250 --> 01:43:03,250
It's so quiet.

1704
01:43:03,625 --> 01:43:03,875
Yeah.

1705
01:43:04,583 --> 01:43:06,541
Um, I like it to some degree, but

1706
01:43:07,375 --> 01:43:09,125
there's some good things about it.

1707
01:43:09,125 --> 01:43:11,625
But at the same time, I miss I miss it.

1708
01:43:11,625 --> 01:43:13,708
Like having someone else there, it does

1709
01:43:13,708 --> 01:43:14,958
help that the dog does

1710
01:43:14,958 --> 01:43:16,166
not leave my side all day.

1711
01:43:17,875 --> 01:43:19,291
You know, but yeah, it's just

1712
01:43:19,291 --> 01:43:20,333
back to the regular routine.

1713
01:43:20,583 --> 01:43:23,541
It's, you know, he goes zero to 60 from

1714
01:43:23,541 --> 01:43:25,166
the moment you wake up.

1715
01:43:25,541 --> 01:43:27,166
545 to 11 p.m.

1716
01:43:27,166 --> 01:43:29,000
You just go.

1717
01:43:29,333 --> 01:43:30,666
We lost an hour of sleep because we have

1718
01:43:30,666 --> 01:43:32,333
to get up at 545, which is fine.

1719
01:43:32,333 --> 01:43:33,458
Because when we were in

1720
01:43:33,458 --> 01:43:34,333
Chicago, speaking of Chicago,

1721
01:43:34,583 --> 01:43:35,208
Oh, my gosh.

1722
01:43:35,250 --> 01:43:36,583
We had to train in town.

1723
01:43:37,041 --> 01:43:38,208
I mean, that was a four.

1724
01:43:39,625 --> 01:43:40,000
What time?

1725
01:43:40,500 --> 01:43:41,583
I think we got up at 455.

1726
01:43:42,291 --> 01:43:42,583
455.

1727
01:43:43,166 --> 01:43:43,375
Okay.

1728
01:43:44,083 --> 01:43:44,291
Yeah.

1729
01:43:45,458 --> 01:43:46,291
It's not a good thing when

1730
01:43:46,291 --> 01:43:48,875
your alarm has a four on it.

1731
01:43:48,875 --> 01:43:49,041
Yeah.

1732
01:43:49,166 --> 01:43:49,833
Regular work day.

1733
01:43:49,833 --> 01:43:50,791
For regular work day.

1734
01:43:50,791 --> 01:43:51,583
Gets the train in town.

1735
01:43:51,833 --> 01:43:54,708
So yeah, so 545 doesn't sound horrible,

1736
01:43:54,708 --> 01:43:55,750
but it's only, but it's

1737
01:43:55,750 --> 01:43:57,000
less than an hour later.

1738
01:43:57,625 --> 01:43:58,083
Right.

1739
01:43:58,875 --> 01:43:59,333
And we're definitely

1740
01:43:59,333 --> 01:44:00,291
not going to bed till 11.

1741
01:44:01,291 --> 01:44:02,375
Because we can't go to bed.

1742
01:44:02,375 --> 01:44:03,875
We don't even get home till 10 almost.

1743
01:44:04,250 --> 01:44:04,500
Right.

1744
01:44:05,166 --> 01:44:05,833
From soccer practice.

1745
01:44:06,125 --> 01:44:07,833
So it's just like, yeah, there is no

1746
01:44:07,833 --> 01:44:09,083
chance to go to bed earlier.

1747
01:44:09,416 --> 01:44:09,708
Yeah.

1748
01:44:09,708 --> 01:44:10,958
Which it was canceled tonight.

1749
01:44:11,583 --> 01:44:11,791
Hints.

1750
01:44:13,000 --> 01:44:14,208
We're midweek.

1751
01:44:16,250 --> 01:44:19,416
Stored you always use sipping and vibing.

1752
01:44:19,416 --> 01:44:20,250
And vibing.

1753
01:44:20,250 --> 01:44:21,875
We're midweek and vibing.

1754
01:44:22,125 --> 01:44:23,125
To with me can bib.

1755
01:44:25,333 --> 01:44:25,750
That doesn't work.

1756
01:44:26,250 --> 01:44:26,916
I don't think so.

1757
01:44:27,666 --> 01:44:28,291
I don't know.

1758
01:44:28,500 --> 01:44:30,041
I'm really confused by that one.

1759
01:44:30,916 --> 01:44:31,291
All right.

1760
01:44:31,291 --> 01:44:32,375
Well, what do we have coming up?

1761
01:44:32,375 --> 01:44:32,541
Anything?

1762
01:44:32,791 --> 01:44:33,000
Anything?

1763
01:44:35,041 --> 01:44:37,583
You know, I think this weekend is

1764
01:44:37,583 --> 01:44:38,916
actually quiet, but I mean,

1765
01:44:39,166 --> 01:44:41,083
starting next week, weekend,

1766
01:44:42,333 --> 01:44:42,750
we're going to be

1767
01:44:42,750 --> 01:44:44,416
traveling a ton over the fall.

1768
01:44:45,000 --> 01:44:45,208
Soccer.

1769
01:44:45,458 --> 01:44:45,791
For soccer.

1770
01:44:46,208 --> 01:44:46,416
Yeah.

1771
01:44:47,125 --> 01:44:49,333
So Austin, Colorado, I know.

1772
01:44:49,541 --> 01:44:51,208
Austin, Colorado, San Diego.

1773
01:44:52,666 --> 01:44:53,833
We got a San Diego too.

1774
01:44:58,416 --> 01:44:58,458
Houston.

1775
01:44:59,500 --> 01:45:00,791
I don't think Atlanta, I think

1776
01:45:00,791 --> 01:45:03,333
Indianapolis is in the spring.

1777
01:45:05,041 --> 01:45:06,166
Florida's more spring.

1778
01:45:06,541 --> 01:45:07,708
I mean, it's like insane.

1779
01:45:09,416 --> 01:45:09,541
Interesting.

1780
01:45:10,000 --> 01:45:10,791
Well, that just means

1781
01:45:10,791 --> 01:45:12,000
we'll have some on location.

1782
01:45:12,875 --> 01:45:13,416
Helping us.

1783
01:45:13,416 --> 01:45:13,791
Location.

1784
01:45:14,375 --> 01:45:15,958
The good thing is though, is that our

1785
01:45:15,958 --> 01:45:18,708
boys are usually playing

1786
01:45:18,708 --> 01:45:21,750
away at the same location.

1787
01:45:22,000 --> 01:45:24,000
So like both boys are playing in Austin

1788
01:45:24,000 --> 01:45:25,750
and both boys are playing in Colorado.

1789
01:45:26,125 --> 01:45:26,375
Yeah.

1790
01:45:27,208 --> 01:45:27,875
So that helps.

1791
01:45:28,333 --> 01:45:28,708
All right.

1792
01:45:28,708 --> 01:45:30,500
Well, I guess we're coming up on the time

1793
01:45:30,500 --> 01:45:32,125
that we do our word

1794
01:45:32,125 --> 01:45:33,916
of what this week was.

1795
01:45:34,416 --> 01:45:35,250
I got mine.

1796
01:45:35,500 --> 01:45:36,166
I've got mine.

1797
01:45:37,000 --> 01:45:37,166
Ready?

1798
01:45:38,583 --> 01:45:39,708
One, two, three.

1799
01:45:40,125 --> 01:45:40,625
Exhausting.

1800
01:45:41,333 --> 01:45:42,750
Oh, that's pretty close.

1801
01:45:43,333 --> 01:45:44,416
I don't want to open a cheer.

1802
01:45:44,791 --> 01:45:46,708
Cheers and, hold on, let's do this.

1803
01:45:46,708 --> 01:45:47,541
We're going to do a

1804
01:45:47,541 --> 01:45:48,833
cheers and a high five.

1805
01:45:50,208 --> 01:45:53,916
Oh, that's only

1806
01:45:53,916 --> 01:45:54,916
happening because we've been bit.

1807
01:45:55,625 --> 01:45:56,083
We've been bit.

1808
01:45:56,541 --> 01:45:57,791
Yeah, the exact same feeling.

1809
01:45:58,458 --> 01:45:59,500
We'll get caught up.

1810
01:45:59,500 --> 01:46:00,708
We'll get used to it again.

1811
01:46:01,291 --> 01:46:01,708
We will.

1812
01:46:02,000 --> 01:46:04,708
But it's very exhausting right now.

1813
01:46:04,708 --> 01:46:05,166
It's exhausting.

1814
01:46:05,666 --> 01:46:06,833
Your parents are supposed to come down at

1815
01:46:06,833 --> 01:46:07,583
some point too, right?

1816
01:46:07,583 --> 01:46:07,791
Yeah.

1817
01:46:08,333 --> 01:46:09,458
So we'll try to fit that in.

1818
01:46:09,458 --> 01:46:10,291
We'll try to fit that in.

1819
01:46:10,583 --> 01:46:11,041
That'll be great.

1820
01:46:11,583 --> 01:46:11,791
Yeah.

1821
01:46:12,000 --> 01:46:12,875
We love having people.

1822
01:46:13,375 --> 01:46:13,875
You do.

1823
01:46:14,041 --> 01:46:15,083
We just let them, just

1824
01:46:15,083 --> 01:46:16,083
bring them into the fold.

1825
01:46:16,666 --> 01:46:17,708
Anybody that visits us

1826
01:46:17,708 --> 01:46:19,166
knows like, "Hey, come on in.

1827
01:46:19,166 --> 01:46:20,500
You're going to be going to a soccer game

1828
01:46:20,500 --> 01:46:21,125
with us if you want

1829
01:46:21,125 --> 01:46:21,833
to spend time with us."

1830
01:46:21,833 --> 01:46:22,416
Heck yeah.

1831
01:46:22,416 --> 01:46:23,375
There's just no time.

1832
01:46:23,958 --> 01:46:25,166
Because we ain't never home.

1833
01:46:26,500 --> 01:46:27,291
Just get it there.

1834
01:46:28,458 --> 01:46:31,666
Did I just say ain't?

1835
01:46:32,000 --> 01:46:33,375
Nothing's ever been more

1836
01:46:33,375 --> 01:46:34,500
eloquent out of your mouth.

1837
01:46:34,833 --> 01:46:36,041
Yeah, that was odd.

1838
01:46:36,500 --> 01:46:37,125
It was not you.

1839
01:46:37,625 --> 01:46:38,041
It's not like you.

1840
01:46:39,375 --> 01:46:40,958
It's been a long time.

1841
01:46:41,541 --> 01:46:43,375
It's been a long Wednesday of the day.

1842
01:46:46,250 --> 01:46:47,875
All right.

1843
01:46:47,875 --> 01:46:48,583
Well, it's Friday,

1844
01:46:48,583 --> 01:46:49,458
even so it's good news.

1845
01:46:49,750 --> 01:46:50,625
Oh, good news.

1846
01:46:51,458 --> 01:46:52,000
I like that.

1847
01:46:53,250 --> 01:46:53,708
All right.

1848
01:46:53,708 --> 01:46:54,125
Look at that.

1849
01:46:54,125 --> 01:46:55,541
Well, let's, I guess

1850
01:46:55,541 --> 01:46:56,541
we'll sign off then, right?

1851
01:46:56,833 --> 01:46:57,416
We will.

1852
01:46:58,500 --> 01:46:58,833
Okay.

1853
01:46:59,333 --> 01:47:00,208
Should I do mine first?

1854
01:47:01,041 --> 01:47:01,875
What are you going to do?

1855
01:47:02,125 --> 01:47:03,125
My regular now.

1856
01:47:04,041 --> 01:47:06,958
First? Okay, you go first and I'll go after you.

1857
01:47:07,083 --> 01:47:07,458
All right.

1858
01:47:07,791 --> 01:47:08,791
My regular is just-

1859
01:47:08,791 --> 01:47:10,000
I thought we did it at the same time.

1860
01:47:10,083 --> 01:47:11,333
Okay, let's do it.

1861
01:47:11,750 --> 01:47:12,500
Okay, we're going to,

1862
01:47:12,500 --> 01:47:13,916
okay, with no countdown on us.

1863
01:47:13,916 --> 01:47:14,208
