Jen (00:00)
Let's do this. Let's do it. You are now in the presence of a YouTube star. my god, I am a YouTube star. I'm a micro creator. I love it. I love it. Micro is the wait, I forgot my drink.

key word. love it. I love it. I love I've loved watching your views. I haven't seen any the last two days because I've been busy with Tobin, but like I definitely love your vibe. Well I know your little ladies up in all these little You look so pretty. I have my no makeup on and disgusting. It still look pretty so

I wanted to read you a comment that I got this last night. please do. It was on my live video because I always talk about our podcast. I'm just so proud of you. Thank you. I'm I'm trying really hard. I'm working on the See people, this is what friendship is. Yeah. We we praise each other. Yeah, we we build each other up. here it is. I did ask her if she was done with me because she's a YouTube star now. Absolutely not. you have to have fun you have to have play as well as work. I mean we all do. We all have

So one of my viewers and it didn't print her name but she said ⁓ s ⁓ I found the podcast from another of your old lady YouTube videos. I have a semi retired coworker friend named ⁓ Sandy from New Orleans who I've started calling crazy granny Sandy.

I talked about the Niv Zon. Yep, I talked about her and Grandma Kitty. I was like, yeah, her grandma kitty and her grand crazy granny Sandy. And so that is so funny. Yeah, I knew you would love it because that was just yesterday. I guess that was probably on the live I did last night. So I'm building a little community. There's like several. There's several ladies that show up like every time. One of them's in Canada. We have a new Canada connection. What'd you do that? That's what they do all the time,

Like they they do they say A at the end of all their line. Instead of like right. Okay. Or you know, like that's how the that's you haven't ever seen that's the whole funny thing about Canadians and the way they talk. I guess I've never noticed that. yeah. Okay. I need to send you a But maybe because I've not landed on Canadian TikTok yet. You haven't because you're more into Boston TikTok and stuff like that. And so you probably Yeah, Scotland and Boston. So y maybe now you'll land on

Now that you've spoken it in or spoken it into existence. Yes. Spoken into existence. Okay. Tell me what's been going down because we have not really seen each other at all. I mean there's a lot that's been going down. I mean not really a lot, but a lot. I will say this.

And again, Jen is always gonna be the butterfly and rainbows, and I'm always gonna be the one that's gonna kind of ruffle feathers. And when I say this, this is not anything against anybody because listen, I am the biggest urban cowboy fan. yeah. I have looked for love in all the wrong places, okay? But about three weeks ago, I went to an event. My nephew Brett is the next kid. It's just a dog. He looks like a classic George Strait.

You know, like you would think of just super talented. Like and I knew from an early age that he was gonna be an entertainer. I remember Jacob also saying that. but he's just phenomenal. Brett Boatman, he is just

Good. Where does he play right now? Tell them. Different venues. I mean, he just plays, you know, at different events, different venues, but you can find him locally. Yeah, you can find him on Facebook and TikTok and all those fun, you know, young people. So if you're local around and you're looking for something to do. So this is the deal. I was at one of his events a couple of weeks ago. Yes. Yeah, you should have come because you would have died. ⁓ So it was at a local bar, which I love the bar. Like it has nothing to do with the bar. Okay, by the way. And I'm all about

Like support local, you always I am I'm always about support local and I love a good urban cowboy feel. Yeah, you do. Pam all the way. I know You're Team Pam, I'm Team Pam. It's nothing against Sissy. I think she's great. I just was always obsessed with. I love how elegant she was. However, I think what the issue with me is, is I'm a brat. And I realize that now. Uh-huh. But I

Guess when I was younger before marriage, before kids, anybody who knew me knew I was a terrible human being who made terrible choices and sowed all the wild oats when I was young. Okay. Okay. I I realized that. Nobody has to come on here and say, we knew her when she was in high school and she was so bad.

⁓ She acts like she's just somebody. Already got that on the table. No, I'm fully aware of my all my choices and my mistakes and I own up to them. We've all made the mistakes. Well I feel like it's made me the person I am today. So I'm not saying there's anything against it. I'm just saying. But however, so I was sitting there and it was Brett was playing late. So it was like he normally, you know, starts a little bit earlier, but it was a nine to eleven thirty show. Yeah.

So in terms Boy, that's la that you are really putting it out. So for that. Tobin was with my sister that weekend and it was me, my in law, my mother in law, Victoria and Ethan. Jan was there, and of course, Brett's parents. And so we just there's usually the same crew is there. Yeah, y'all have a crew that goes. Yeah. But it was always a good time. It's always a good time. That's what I'm gonna say. Yeah, I wanna go. We always have so much fun. Yeah. However, this night I

You know, I the girls had come, but they always ditch me. Like they leave before the party's over. Yes. Which is fine. Yeah. I'm okay with that. Right. But I was like trying like this is the I was very observant this night for some reason. You love a people watching sessions. I have a people watching sessions. And so I was sitting there and I was just watching people. And in my head, I was really thinking.

Do these people really think they are gonna meet the love of their life?

Not these days. Not in not up in a bar. But what was cracking me up? ⁓ but you can though, 'cause not even Justin crossed paths. Okay, but hang on.

That's what I'm saying. You know I love me an urban cowboy. I am not a Cinderella, ⁓ Snow White fairy tale kind of princess. I am an urban cowboy kind of girl. I I believe that that's the fairy tale, okay? I believe that you have to roll around in the mud to find love, okay? I'm not saying that there's anything against finding love there. That is not what I'm saying. But

think because I'm older and I'm so so night 'cause I was at a bar and I was like, these are this is the choice sitting at the bar right now. So I think because I've

I've kind of turned against love because it's done me so wrong. And there's nothing against Jake. If you were still here, I would love you just as much. But unfortunately, so now I have a black heart. Okay. ⁓ I had a semi-gray one before. But it's black now. Okay. And so anyway, I was just sitting there and I'm watching these girls. And they're not they're

beautiful. Yeah. Okay. Beautiful women. Yeah. Okay. There is there there's obviously I mean there's a lot of categories. There's all kinds. But there are beautiful, there are definitely a lot of Pams. Yeah. There are some beautiful girls. Okay. Okay. And so I'm just watching and I'm actually getting concerned. Yeah. Like I'm like, they've had a little too much drink. I think I need to like step in, maybe step in maybe and try to just be a good friend. That's right. Yeah. And but the whole time I was thinking

I just wonder, do they really have the expectation that these men are going to be the ones. Be the ones. And then it made me think, am I just cynical in love? So like I just don't feel like I there's always a chance you can run the love anywhere, but I feel like Because watch, I can tell you exactly what's gonna happen to me. Uh-huh. In a few years, uh-huh guess we're all meet someone. Well at the bar. At the bar with Brett Show, and I'll have to come on here and be like, I eat my work. Here's the thing, you're gonna have to come to Neon Name with me on a Wednesday night.

Because I'm supposed to go there or not. Because they have karaoke and it's all old people and y it is your vibe. It is all old. It is your vibe. Listen, I only go Slow moving, easy going. I I am my days of that are over in the sense of like that's not my vibe anymore. But I'm going to support. Yes. Brett and I

And we have such a great time. And you would have fun. It's not something I want to do everyone. I love being with everyone. I don't care where I'm. Every time we're all together, that's It's so fun. It's so fun. And Jamie and Amy were there too. So it was a good fun vibe. That's funny. But I just was looking at this these these beautiful girls and I'm just like

is just it. So I mean but here you gotta go back and you're like, yeah, but they're not looking for it. They're just looking for fun. That and that that's good. That's fun. I mean I'm just gonna think that in my head that they know. But this is the issue. There was a they learned there was a lady there and I didn't know her. She wasn't a local, I don't think, because I didn't recognize her at all. Uhhuh. And she had she was acting a little she was not and she was acting a little kind of

Tipsy. ⁓ okay. And the whole time I was looking at her, 'cause she just thought she just was God's g she was Cindy Crawford. That's what she thought. I all I can hear is the song Tipsy in my head now. But I'm just saying Everybody in the Glug is She thought she was Cindy Crawford. Yeah. Okay. And the whole time I was looking at her 'cause she was beautiful. What age? Like around that. I don't know. Because you know, everybody fools you now. I know. It's catfishing. It is. It's so I I mean there's too much bo botox and skin stuff and I mean

I'm wondering if she thought she was for a faucet or She looked beautiful. I'll say that. But the next day, I literally woke up and I was like, I just wonder what that girl did. Like in my head, because I'm so nosy. She wanted to know

Was sh what was her aim and did she succeed? Because listen, there wasn't a single man in that bar that didn't want to dance with her. Yeah. And she And she had her choice. She had her choice. And so the whole time I was thinking Maybe that's just her game.

Good for her. Kudos to her. I I pray if she wants to love If that's how you want to live, great, grand, wonderful. Yeah. And I don't care. But it was so funny because again, I'm not judging. I love looking for love in all the wrong places. And I'm a Urban Cowboy. I I I we have we have people who believe in fairy tales in Disney style. I believe in fairy tales in Urban Cowboy style and Shaq. Okay. Those are my two shows. So that's just the way it is. I like Princess Bride. Princess Bride. I love Princess Bride too. my god. I love that movie.

As you wish. I would give anything to have to say after I was so in love with him and the the I am ending Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die. I have a shark that says that. Listen, we just found a common ground movie that we both love and we both sing.

my God. I think this is it. Okay. We can breach peak friendship. We have. Okay, we're gonna have to have maybe we could have a ⁓ you know what would be fun. Okay, let's plan right now next Halloween that we watch Princess Bright on the outdoor screen. I love it. And like have all of our people here. What I will say though, where I was going with that was that I was at the bar watching them, watching people's and someone came up to me. I told you about this. Someone came up to me and they were like

Some man came up to you. Okay. Mind you, Emma and Aubrey tried to dress me and I went back in and put on a cardigan. I literally, he came up to me and he goes, Do y'all always record your podcast in bed? And I was like, Excuse me, sir? And he was like, Do you always record your podcast in your bed? And I was like, ⁓ yes. In fact, we do. And I was like.

Except that one time in the airport. I was like, nice to meet you. Yeah. So he's seen you in bed. It was like I'm embarrassed to say that I watch all sometimes. We welcome you. It was hilarious. We welcome you in with open arms. I love because I have a few male watchers on my YouTubes too. I and I love our male listener too. Actually, you the the guy that wants. I like they like give us the best advice. Yeah. Well, and I gave a pattern away on on one of my shows. It was a man that won it.

Well like by one male watcher. And again, I love a good venue where I can have fun. There's nothing again. And we're not we're not afraid to get on the dance floor and have a good time. Yeah. Now I do there I will say this. I love to dance. I love to two step. Yeah. Jake was not a dancer. Yeah, just he would not he would dance. Maybe every now and then. And I have to admit that I have

My feelings are a few times and nobody's asked me to dance yet. Yeah, where are you men? I mean, I mean I know it's because you're intimidating. You give off an aura of don't you dare. So that doesn't really that doesn't really open you up for invitation. What you have to do is what I did one time at the club. Which was I did the fishing pole and reeled him in. If I did something like that, I dated that guy. Okay, just so everybody is clear.

Victoria Jan, listen to me when I say this. She is coming with us next time Brett plays at the canteen or anywhere that there is dancing. She's coming and she's gonna try that maneuver. I went now because I'm married. No you have to mean it when you do that. I know, but you have to mean it when you're doing it. I was and he was fine too. Like

Fine. I'm married. But he was fine. Well, that guy was fine. Not taking that away from him. He did win the best chess contest at the country 2000, whenever it was such a good time. I I loved it, but because I don't get out very often. Yeah. So it was so much fun to go. With your people too. It's like you're just with one or two. I love supporting Brett. I love supporting my nephew. I just always like being with the group. Like and he sings obviously all the country songs that I love. And I love to sing and my favorite though, y'all, I'm gonna say this. I

I am such a sucker for love after 60. Like when I see all of the people that are 60 and above two stepping, it literally brings joy to my heart. Like I I think that it is the cutest, most sincere. But you never see yourself doing that. Not me. Yeah, I know. You don't see yourself in the I don't see myself, but I think that's because I did. But I also think that's Brady ever came around. Who's Brady?

You know who Brady is. His party.

⁓ from coral and stuff. El Charles, Brady? So you always joke with me. If if you're Yeah, he w he doesn't seem like a dancer. yeah, he is. He's a baby, he probably doesn't even know how to two step. Sorry, Brady. She just threw you underneath the bus. Anyways. Listen, so I I just love a good time and obviously I'm promoting Britt. Yeah. But and there again, nothing against looking for love in all the wrong places.

But you can't stop thinking about it. I am I can only wait to see your face. good. Because I think this is the most genius idea that any man has come up with. okay. Are you ready for this? Yes. Okay. Okay. And I will I actually will send it to you right after so that you can post it. Okay. Okay. shoot. no, no. Okay. Well I bet on the box. Okay. You're gonna watch a Kelly Clocks in a little bit. Well the voice. Okay. the voice, yeah. So this guy posted on TikTok.

Rent a boyfriend Thanksgiving packages. my god. And this is not AI, guys. This is real. ⁓ So for seventy so s you could get the silver option. Uh-huh. Seventy five dollars plus a plate, which I guess a food. A food. Yeah. That is two hours at dinner, matching outfits, tells a few jokes. You wouldn't even make money. You'd have to buy matching outfit and sh Well also too, I wouldn't

I wouldn't want to match. No, I wouldn't want to match That would be an ick for me. That would be that was an ick for me one time. I mean, I I like in pictures I like coordinating. Coordinating on matching. Okay. The gold package is $150 plus a plate. Three hours at dinner. Cute backstory on how we met. Details about what I do for a living. Call you. Call your dad Pops. I was like, why are you calling me dad? Okay.

Then we have the platinum, uh-huh, which is $350, plus a plate, plus a to-go plate. Uh-huh. You get him all day. Uh-huh. Tell you I love you in front of your whole family. Kiss your mom on the cheek and help clean up after dinner. That would cost $750 if we were. But this is my thing. This is actually a cheap. He can only sell one, though.

So he's not really he's not really I it depends on what's the Well and not everybody celebrates Thanksgiving on Thanksgiving Day. He can maybe get a couple out of it, but I don't think he's I don't think he's thinking this through. I think that's a lot of commitment for a little bit of money. Your time is worth a lot. Seventy five dollars for two hours and you have the matching outfits. But two hours is not long, Jen. But he has to buy a matching outfit with that person. I mean I definitely

That his prices could be increased. Yeah, and I don't know. So, the comments. We had to go to the comments. Because I know you love a good comment. I love a comment. Someone said, I'd I'd rent to really confuse my family because I'm a lesbian. Okay, perfect. Do you offer a discount for senior citizens? ⁓ How much to argue and break up in front of my family? my God. He's already gonna be the bad guy because they're gonna break up. Someone said.

I can't even afford a fake boyfriend. I'm about to book for my sister. ⁓ my God. Do you take after pay? I bet. You can get a card. My wife wants to know if there is a morning walk of shame package. Well, that would require some action and that that sounds against the law.

We all have to make money somehow. I think it's great. I don't see dessert. he's staying all day and he's taking a take-home plate. So that's my thing. Like it's actually not a terrible idea. I mean, this is my thing. You would have to do it in somewhere like a big city. You could never do that like locally. Well in okay, looking at the guy's picture, he gives off a vibe of the cringiest YouTube video I've watched of TikTok, guys.

That do those smoky eyes and like like the g like the silver foxes that'll look at the camera and lip sync a song real sexy and it's so cringy that I'm like, how could you ever be excited for a guy like that? Yellow like a a ⁓ a flag thing above our talking microphone. Do you see that error?

I just wanna make sure yeah, I do. Because I swear it's when you're all that urban cowboy bull crap. No, but what happened last night was mine kept doing that, my connection looked unstable, but it was still recording and stuff. And it still stayed live. So that's This is why we can't have a podcast, guys. I know it is. And we gotta Okay, unstable connection. Try switching networks. Recording quality is safe.

I wouldn't stop it. I mean, if you think it's okay. I mean, it did fine last night, so we'll just chance it. It is uploading. It says 99% uploading. Okay, we'll just try it. And if not, I guess you'll see us next week. Well, you'll see part of it this week. But We gotta get back to our two episodes too, eventually. My people are clamoring for us, especially when we're we know keep building up. My whole thing is I'm like, I get where you I think if it was a

'Cause obvious one of my favorite movies I do love is The Wedding Date. With Deborah Messinger Mess Messing and ⁓ McDermott whatever his name is, where he she rents him for her sister's wedding 'cause they live overseas. Right. And I think you can get away with that if it was something like that. Like my family would have way too many questions. Yeah. Where did you come from? Yeah. Who are you? Yeah. Yeah, exactly. That's my thing. I mean, mine wouldn't but

Most what I feel like like your family, yeah, you could never get away with that with your family. For one, I wouldn't even I'm more afraid to bring a man to my families than I am anywhere. Exactly. Yeah, so why would you want to introduce someone why what's the what's the point? Well, I think because people just get tired of people asking if you're

single. Like I mean I don't have that issue. I know. I guess I'd be like, yeah. I could see now I feel like, you know, now you gotta keep a little bit it's hard to remember. I don't know. It'd be kind of fun to p role play that though. Like just to pretend. Yeah, I guess so because then you don't have to go and live with I'm surprised you don't like this idea because you're all about a like a theatrical. I mean I do love that, but I've seen too many movies I I like his entrepreneurship. Yeah, I mean I like that he's

Yeah, he's and he's thinking ahead. He's got like different packages. He's being creative. It's just I can't get that cringy Silver Fox video out of my head. And any guy that will sit there and lip sync to Maybe he's not even a silver fox or lip sync. But I feel like he is one of those guys that does that 'cause the way he was posing with his like arm up and stuff, you know. Like I was like, Mm-hmm. I see him. I see you.

You know, like there it's so funny people's icks and stuff because like I guess I've been seeing a lot of that because I've been such a negative Nancy lately with like men. Yeah. But like I was laughing the other day because and I know there are people that we love that this they are okay with this. But when I walk in a restaurant and I see people, couples sitting on the same side of the booth, I literally want to like Together, yeah. I mean

I guess because Jake and I wanted to see each other when we were talking. I wanted to look out. I don't want to have to look over I wanted you to talk. I don't want your elbow touching me trying to eat. Like we're there to eat. We're not there to romanticize. No, you do that after you eat. Which brings me to another thing. God. Why?

every movie I've been watching okay I've been watching this girl who roasts Hallmark movies okay so please send me her okay I hate Hallmark Okay you'll love her because she does the funny stuff that I like okay I cannot say Hallmark the only Hallmark movies I like and I I can't even believe I'm gonna admit this. The I mean I like the Jeanette Oaks, every Jeanette Oaks and I love Win Calls a Heart. I do love that.

So I've never been into Hallmark stuff. I mean, I like the Christmas stuff just playing in the background, but it's so predictable. Of course, everything's the same every time. The poor girl has to work. She falls in love with the She comes from a big city. Blah, blah, blah. Or she comes from a big city, falls in love with the woodsman. Maybe they should put my life on at Hallmark, maybe, and see what kind of scores they get. They need to they need to switch it up. But this girl. Mine is a lifetime. Yes, yours is more lifetime. This girl

⁓ roast Hallmark movies and please post her on this. Yeah. She is so funny because I don't remember where I was going with that. So you were talking about people sitting beside each other and she roast Hallmark videos and it reminded you of ⁓ I don't know. I don't know. It reminded me of her though. She's been roasting all these Hallmark movies and it's just been playing in the background and stuff and I just ran into her and it is really funny because she does she calls every every girl in every show she calls

Our girl. This is our girl. She didn't even know the names of the kids. She doesn't find the names of the characters. But it's just funny to watch the different the different Hallmark movies and how bad they are. People are actually like people like these. Like no, people love them. Not like them, Jen. People love them. And they're so predictable. And

Do you think it's because we live in such a society where everything is so negative that it just brings a little bit of bliss? Yeah. I mean, like maybe that's what it is. Like their worst problem is like, they saw a letter that said something and they got upset about it and now they're going their separate ways, but then they come back together and fall them up. I mean, maybe that's what it is. I mean There's always a good conclusion. Like a Well, it's predictable. Yeah, a satisfying, happy ending is what they give you. Which is not reality. It is not reality. And it's a This is why my son stays on the ID channel. That and that I know. And that's why I always watch a comedy card.

Crap. Like I like the comedy like Christmas stuff and stuff like that. Like national lampoons and all that kind of stuff. Well yeah, I'm a classic girl. Like I mean, if it's a good classic. I want to watch unrealistic. I don't know. I like a little of everything. It's so cringy. I just don't like I cannot stand any c I'm in my hate era right now. I literally cannot stand cringy anything right now. I yeah. Well that's why I'm just

I'm in my own little world right now, so I'm not even really watching a lot of except for stuff like that. Like people I like reacting to stuff or people doing crafts, people quilting. No, not even talking about shows. Like I'm just done with cringy in general. Like in life. Yeah. Yeah. Like I'm not gonna tolerate it. We're not gonna tolerate cringy. I don't want a penny loafer life. No. And not like cute sixteen candle penny loafers. I'm talking about the ones that like

Panzer Like people wear with like slacks. Slacks. With no socks.

But you know that not unless you're talking about the the new what are they? I guess they'd be young millennials wearing all in skinny skinny slacks with the nose. They don't know what love is or realistic stuff. They're all about icks. Yeah. They're all about an ick. They love an ick. They they all they're all about. ⁓

I wish that I wasn't in my ick which I I don't think I've ever even gotten out of ick phase. I think I've just lived an ick life. I mean I I you just I do I'm skeptical. I do praise realistically good things. Yes. I'm never gonna be your hype girl. Let me just say that. Like ⁓ no. I'm just not true 'cause you're a supporter. I'm a huge hype girl for you. Supporting.

Supporting, I'm gonna hop you, I'm gonna share you. Yeah, I am going to be your biggest supporter in things. I am not your hop girl in any kind of romantic relationship. No. That's true. That's true. ⁓ Just so true. Just not. Well, and I will love you and support you through it, but I'm never gonna be that girl that's gonna be like

cute and look at how he is Yeah. I mean Justin would sometimes I feel like he'd rather sit at another booth than me. That is Jay. And we're okay with that. I guess it's when you're we are together a lot though. We're together a lot. We work together and everything else.

Like it that's but you take that for granted though too because you do take it for granted. He wants you to go to pool. Today we were just talking about this because someone was talking about there's a girl that I work with that has been dating a guy for about a year now. They don't live together because they both have like she's divorced, he's divorced, and they have kids and they literally have their own separate things. They have their own separate houses. I love that about her. I think that it's very respectful of her children and his children.

but they are really cute, okay? And anyways, I support her. Like I don't like she's not mushy, icky kind of thing. Yes. Listen, tell me your mushy stuff. I if you know me and you love me and you know that I'm not that girl, then it's not offensive to you. Right. 'Cause I'm I'm just that offensive I'm just gonna turn my nose up when I think of like the icky love stuff. Yeah. You're not gonna be all romantic about it. No.

Jake was the romantic one. A hundred percent. And so we were talking about this today because, you know, there's this big controversy out there that's gonna give people an ick when I say this about me is baths baths versus showers. Because you know, people do not people think taking a bath is gross. I mean, I don't think it's gross. There are people out there who are like, that's disgusting, like you're not clean, da da da da da. You're basically sitting in your dirty water. I I

Okay. How dirty do you think I am? Dirty but not like rolling mud. Growing up, so like growing up, my crazy granny Sandy and my mom's house 'cause those were the two I shifted between and my gr and my grandma kitty's house, I think they did have a shower upstairs. But none of the houses I lived in had showers. Yeah. They only had bathtubs. Yeah.

Right. So you didn't have a choice. So we didn't have a choice growing up but to take a bath. Yeah. So I am not a shower girl. I take a shower if I need to do a all over shower. Right. Okay, which is, you know, all over. All over. No no need to go into details here on. Use your imagination. Whatever that man's name was that was at the bar.

But like if I like am mowing or outside all day, things like that, I'm gonna take a shower. Yes. Like if I'm hard to My daily routine is a bath. Yeah, because you go and soak. Because I want to relax. Yeah, you want to You're not washing your hair and doing all that kind of stuff because you're lucky to where you don't have to do that every day. Once a week. Exactly. That I mean and that's the way it's supposed to be.

Well, so today we were talking about that and someone was talking about how they love taking a bath and you know, just like they don't even take their phone in there with them. And I was like, you know, I said it's funny because like I love my baths every night. I do take my phone in there for music, but I light candles. I it's completely dark in there every night. That is my routine. I know it's weird, whatever. It's not really I mean, how long? Twenty minutes? I mean it's maybe.

Exactly. Not lately, because Tobin busted in there. You ain't getting no bad time with Tobin around. He's like, You want my colors? Because he has the crayons that you color in. He's like, You want my colors? You want my colors? No, Tobin, I want you to get out. No, if the girls are home, then they want to come in there and sit and tell me about their whole day, which I know to some people is foreign, but not to me. Yeah, no, that's so we were talking about it and I said, you know, that's one thing I took

A lot for granted. When Jacob knew I was super stressed and he beat me home, which is not rare. Yeah. But when he did, I would walk in and he would have a hot bath already ran with with candles and 90s country plant. That was his deal. And he because he knew that was acts of certain because Jacob was very much, he was

He was physical touch. He needed my like hugs. Like he needed physical touch. Yeah. And he knew I needed acts of service. Yes. So those were the things that he did that we took I took so much for granted. Yeah. And every day almost he brought me Twizzlers and a Diet Coke. I love it. Every day. And so like you said, you just know that they're constantly thinking of you. Well also too, it makes it makes you

For anybody out there listening who is in a marriage or isn't in a marriage or is young or is old or it what however, it makes you realize the importance of what is actually important to you. Like what things like don't settle. Yeah. Because there are and listen, Jake and I were not perfect. He was not perfect, neither was I. Yeah. But there was things that only he knew about me. Yeah. That like he knew

Brought joy to me. Yeah. Like Justin does you. Well, yeah, and the thing about Justin is he'll never say he wants something, but like I'll tell you because I haven't been able to make it out to his pool stuff. I've been wanting to, but you know, it's just something during the week and it's just sitting there. I'm a YouTube star now. I'm a YouTube star. So I really have been so focused on that. But last Wednesday night I like, you know what, I'm gonna go anyway. Like I'm just gonna go. And

I showed up and he didn't know I was coming and then I just sort of slid into the table behind where he didn't see me. And then when he turned he like looked and he was even like getting his drink and stuff and he looked up at me and he went he was like so is so surprised and then excited and so I mean he would have even as a matter of fact he wanted to sing a duet with me 'cause that was like our first date was we say live and breathe. Yeah. He w he wish I would have been there. You need to hear him sing El Paso. You would be outraged. I don't think I've ever heard Justin sing.

Okay. I love Marty Robbins. I Paso. But we also have our duet is More Than Words by Extreme. Uh-huh. The best version of More Than Words is when you you cannot download it anywhere. Like it's not downloaded, you can only watch it on YouTube. And it is the voice coaches about five years ago.

Did an acoustic and it's John Legend, Kelly Clarkson, Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani, and they did a acoustic version of More Than Words, and it is the best version of More Than Words that I've ever heard in my life. Well, that was one of the first songs that we sang together. I love that. And then also Just You and I by Crystal Gill and Eddie Rabbit. Just you and Justin. And that's gonna be our song because that's the vibe there. At n at Neil Moon, that's like the vibe. Baby, I Neil Moon used to be East Fork.

no exactly. I know you know those stuff and grounds. I know you know those. And I was like, listen, I I am preaching to the choir about you know that. But it was fun because the the fun part was that it's not the bar area. It's it's like the little stage. There was a birthday party three or four years ago that we went to that was there, I remember and I it was different.

And that's the thing I think about the age we're in, like for me personally, is I did all that while stupid. I did all that in my twenties. When I was younger. And so now, like when I go, I actually go just to enjoy myself. Not to like No. Do the things that you shouldn't be doing. No, no, no. it's fun to just be around the people. It's just fun to be around the people. ⁓ and get this. Okay. ⁓ I haven't even got to tell you this. Okay, so last Wednesday

So the guy's sitting there, okay, that is ⁓ Justin has sort of made friends with. Okay. And he's from Oregon. Okay. And he's got like a red beard. Like call gonna call him red beard. Okay. And he plays pretty good and Justin sort of just hit it off with him. He doesn't really know people or anything. Okay. And he was like, you know, I only work a couple of times a month and da da da and I was like. That's exactly what I was like. I like How old is he? He's like mid thirties. He's divorced. He's got

daughters or a daughter, I'm not really sure. But

He's a musician. Okay. He is a drummer. He plays gigs in like Vegas. Wait a second. Who is this? Because this might be my cousin. No, no. He no, he's not from around here. He just moved here from. Originally? No, ever. He just moved here from Oregon. Okay. And because he can go, he can he said the bands that he the bands that he his name's Kyle, I think. And the bands that he plays for and stuff, the gigs that he does, he gets hired on, they just fly him.

wherever they need to be. So he just lives this single life and I just started getting digging in, you know, like, so what do you what do you play? Okay. And he's like, I play drums. I'm like, my God. So then we of course hit it off. Like we're talking about drums. Okay. And and I think he did say his son. So he must 'cause I think he has a son that's a drummer that wants to be a drummer. Okay, yes, I this is coming back to me now.

And so he was nice, you know, 'cause he's sort of like a he's he's not too in your face or anything, but he's he's conversational. So I was just digging in deep, like, so what kind of gigs do you I know, what kind of music do you normally play? What you know, 'cause I was trying to think of is he with some like famous band? Because all I hear is single famous travel. I know, and but that all sa sounds so romantic, but like he's he said that what he used to do

Is he used to live in a hotel room for two weeks in Vegas, I guess sweet because the hotel would pin him up. Okay. And then his friend had a house that he would rent for two weeks and so two weeks on and off. Okay. And that's why he lived his life for several years. That's my question. ⁓ I didn't really get that far except for I didn't ask him why Texas, because he said he came from Oregon. Which is beautiful. Yes. And he and he grew up there.

And he said he was he's a murderer, Jen. I'm gonna keep my eye on him. But he was really fun and nice. I'm a drummer. Now come to my car so I can show you my drum set. See that's the thing though. Justin's there. Justin's there and Justin is like silent killer. So nobody messes with Justin. Justin

What about you? No, I didn't say Justin. I mean, but he's there, so no man's gonna get me out to their car. So she says Justin is already in the works. He's there, so I won't go to the car. When he's there. No. ⁓ no, but it was interesting because I just got to know this guy 'cause I s 'cause you're there for four hours. That would be miserable. I w it was

I'm so glad that you loved us drinking sour Bloody Marys. Bloody Marys at East Fork? I needed and I needed to have olives and stuff in them. I'm like, I'm gonna take my own. Can I bring a can of olives? But

I need it. And then if we sing, if we who knows, Justin. Justin won the tournament last week. Of course he didn't. I forgot to tell you that. Well, he

Technically had to split it because the two guys that were it he was in first and the other guy was left that won so they had to play to see he won. But it was gonna be another five games and it was midnight. Yeah, no. So they decided to split it and I was like, Thank you very much. I appreciate that. Absolutely not. I would say split it every time if that's the case because

Okay, let's end on this. Okay. If you tell me you have not seen this, then I am done with you. ⁓ no, I may not have. I've been recording all the time. I know Justin has, so I know you've seen this. Please tell me you've seen the Dell.

She was behind him. Her husband was here. Some guy was right here. And they were promoting something. I don't even know because I couldn't pay attention. And I am telling you.

It is brought back the woman on the plane who is like, that person is not real. no. How have you not seen this? my god. I love that woman. Well, get ready. my god.

Jen, how do you I'm gonna go down that rabbit hole immediately. I mean the comments. ⁓ my god. Why did she pass away? How did she get so close to him? I know it's Halloween, but dang!

I'm in a wheelchair and even I ran to the comments. Crip Keeper man. I'm telling you right now, and there's your woman. I'm telling you. There is a man is not real. Everybody's like, she's a lizard. She's the lizard people. And then people are like, ⁓ my God.

Because people are like, she is not real. That is not like the way her eyes how are your eyes like that? Yeah. And the way she was moving her head like this animatronic. Like like

Like, remember we go to Chuck E. Cheese and the ones on the stage that are like playing the instruments and stuff? The bear and mouse and that is bad. It how did she get there? What is she selling? Her soul. Her soul, Jen. That's what she's selling. What was she prom ⁓ I've gotta know exactly what we know me. I don't know anything political. I know, but I just wanna know why she was there. Who's she to who is she speaking to? The people. Us.

They were on TV speaking up. Yes, this was CNN. Just I don't watch CNN. I don't either, but that's CNN. It's gotta be on everything. I cannot wait to go down that YouTube rabbit hole. I am so surprised, Justin, who is I just I'm sure he's seen it. He just probably hasn't said anything to me. I assume Justin would be in here like your lizard people are on there. Here's what I'm watching is ⁓ I watched this video.

Okay, there's this girl that does the green screen reaction stuff and it's not the same one as another one that that I there's two that I love. And this girl goes to comments, so she always does the comments and it's hilarious because she finds the best ones. Well this girl was doing the fake the skydiving lessons, you know? And and it was like, ⁓ when you ⁓ it was I can't I'll have to

No, they were in one of those simulators where you are learning. Like you pretend. And so she had the coach in there. Well, she has a crush on the coach. Well, then she's like doing this like crab walking stuff, and then she goes up with her legs and just goes straight at his face. It's so damn funny.

comments killed me. The comments. The comments are like kills me anytime. Anytime I like we need to start doing some of that. I literally just cannot not go to the comments because it is so funny. We need to start doing some grease ring comments while I'm laughing. It's funny because it's like

You cannot make this stuff up. And the people who are commenting the comical stuff, I'm like, I want to be friends with you. I know because they're so witty, like they immediately go and know what to say. Like that immediately. I'm the one who was like, I'm in a wheelchair and I ran so fast to the comments. That is so witty.

⁓ I just love people are real. I just love that because And this is why we have a podcast. This is why we have a podcast. I wish we were that funny. We are that funny though. I mean we gotta I I wanna start doing a we needed the comment section. We do a comment section. But like I think what's so why we're so funny, I think the problem is is if a if we had a

If we didn't have real jobs and we just had a video camera or a our cell phone at all times videoing us, we would be funny. Because we are funny. Yeah. We're ⁓ We only have limited time to be funny.

mean than funny. You're more funny. No, but we're f our dynamic is funny together. Together we make the funny. It's like if you don't have one or the other, the yin and yang is thrown off. It's like when I FaceTime Jen at night well, like I FaceTimed her the other day to tell her something and she literally answers in the freaking shower. Well she wouldn't answer she acted like she may have been in an emergency and what if I didn't answer? I answered with my eyes in the camera.

She goes, Are you in the shower? I'm yes. She goes. Well, I was more worried about you getting electrocuted. well, I mean, it's a cell phone. Do you can you not get electrocuted with a cell phone in the phone? I'm not holding it in the water. I'm almost like holding it up here out of the water. Because I was I had the YouTube's on. I was I had it up in the top of my. Wait, you're watching your phone in the It was a tutorial and I have a ledge. So I put it up there because I listen either

Every day in the shower, I listen to a podcast usually off of podcast. But then I was like But then I was like, well I have that little let's right there I'll just put it on YouTube and I'm I'm watching the same thing I'm listening to. So I'm not Do realize that the phone is probably watching you too? Naked in the shower? No, I didn't really think about that. There's our clip.
