1
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,708
(upbeat music)

2
01:00:05,375 --> 01:00:06,500
Yeah, I think it was

3
01:00:06,500 --> 01:00:08,000
Robin Williams that said,

4
01:00:08,500 --> 01:00:09,083
and you may have quoted

5
01:00:09,083 --> 01:00:10,000
this on Morning Serial,

6
01:00:10,250 --> 01:00:11,666
but it's, "Every person

7
01:00:11,666 --> 01:00:12,708
you meet is fighting a battle

8
01:00:12,708 --> 01:00:13,750
"that you know nothing about."

9
01:00:14,333 --> 01:00:15,333
So treat them with kindness.

10
01:00:15,625 --> 01:00:16,500
It's one of my favorite

11
01:00:16,500 --> 01:00:17,416
quotes out of Morning Serial.

12
01:00:17,916 --> 01:00:18,916
Do you remember?

13
01:00:19,375 --> 01:00:20,125
Yeah, it was his birthday.

14
01:00:20,916 --> 01:00:21,791
It was his birthday?

15
01:00:24,583 --> 01:00:24,750
Seriously?

16
01:00:26,291 --> 01:00:27,166
I've got a terrible memory.

17
01:00:27,625 --> 01:00:28,583
(laughing)

18
01:00:28,708 --> 01:00:30,750
I don't remember that, but--

19
01:00:30,875 --> 01:00:31,666
Meg's noticed she has

20
01:00:31,666 --> 01:00:32,875
to catalog everything

21
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:34,666
that happens in my life for me.

22
01:00:34,666 --> 01:00:35,583
So she's running two

23
01:00:35,583 --> 01:00:36,500
memories out of that.

24
01:00:37,375 --> 01:00:38,500
Incredible brain of hers.

25
01:00:39,333 --> 01:00:39,916
Escalator?

26
01:00:40,500 --> 01:00:41,000
Escalator?

27
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:41,625
All the way down.

28
01:00:42,125 --> 01:00:42,333
Really?

29
01:00:43,291 --> 01:00:45,083
And I promised myself from that moment,

30
01:00:45,458 --> 01:00:47,291
I mean, I do remember that.

31
01:00:47,958 --> 01:00:49,708
I will pick my family

32
01:00:49,708 --> 01:00:52,208
first, always, from now on.

33
01:00:52,250 --> 01:00:52,666
Yeah, right?

34
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:54,750
I think it's a bit of that fake it

35
01:00:54,750 --> 01:00:55,875
till you make it sometimes.

36
01:00:56,375 --> 01:00:56,541
Yeah.

37
01:00:57,208 --> 01:00:58,500
In some of the hardest moments,

38
01:00:59,083 --> 01:01:01,041
I have to at least pretend to be strong.

39
01:01:01,541 --> 01:01:02,916
It's like a Taylor Swift song.

40
01:01:03,625 --> 01:01:04,208
Which one?

41
01:01:05,458 --> 01:01:05,500
(laughing)

42
01:01:05,708 --> 01:01:06,750
It's like all of them, honey.

43
01:01:07,791 --> 01:01:07,833
(laughing)

44
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:10,166
I love me some Tay Tay.

45
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:11,208
Hot.

46
01:01:13,583 --> 01:01:14,250
Nice, it will look kinda

47
01:01:14,250 --> 01:01:16,041
spicy hot, temperature hot.

48
01:01:16,041 --> 01:01:16,958
It was temperature hot.

49
01:01:17,166 --> 01:01:17,625
Sexy hot.

50
01:01:17,875 --> 01:01:18,708
Don't put it safe while

51
01:01:18,708 --> 01:01:21,166
we're out off the ship.

52
01:01:21,208 --> 01:01:21,916
Talking about underpants.

53
01:01:23,541 --> 01:01:23,708
Huh?

54
01:01:24,541 --> 01:01:25,083
(laughing)

55
01:01:25,833 --> 01:01:26,833
Welcome to the Mr. and

56
01:01:26,833 --> 01:01:27,875
Mrs. English podcast.

57
01:01:28,208 --> 01:01:28,583
I'm Megan.

58
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:29,541
And I'm Sean.

59
01:01:29,833 --> 01:01:30,875
We're here to talk about

60
01:01:30,875 --> 01:01:32,500
the wild ride of raising kids,

61
01:01:32,708 --> 01:01:34,791
growing careers, keeping life together

62
01:01:34,791 --> 01:01:36,041
in the middle of all the chaos.

63
01:01:36,750 --> 01:01:37,583
So buckle up,

64
01:01:38,125 --> 01:01:38,875
because we're all in

65
01:01:38,875 --> 01:01:40,125
this crazy journey together.

66
01:01:41,750 --> 01:01:42,500
Thank you, Marina.

67
01:01:42,708 --> 01:01:46,458
This is M&M, six, six,

68
01:01:46,916 --> 01:01:47,458
what was I saying?

69
01:01:47,666 --> 01:01:49,166
Yeah, that's, I think the date.

70
01:01:49,333 --> 01:01:50,000
I think that's Friday.

71
01:01:50,375 --> 01:01:51,250
Yeah, I think you're right.

72
01:01:51,250 --> 01:01:54,500
All right, this is M&M, six, six, so 21.

73
01:01:55,416 --> 01:01:59,666
Land, la-la, land, tater tots.

74
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:00,541
Ooh.

75
01:02:00,666 --> 01:02:01,791
Get yours in there as well.

76
01:02:02,458 --> 01:02:03,583
Tater tots.

77
01:02:03,958 --> 01:02:05,291
Yep, well, welcome.

78
01:02:05,666 --> 01:02:07,375
It's welcome, everybody.

79
01:02:07,666 --> 01:02:09,375
It's not a weekend for us.

80
01:02:09,375 --> 01:02:10,916
We usually try to do this on the weekend.

81
01:02:10,916 --> 01:02:11,250
We do.

82
01:02:11,875 --> 01:02:14,000
Nor is it really late at night

83
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:15,125
or really early in the morning.

84
01:02:15,541 --> 01:02:16,958
It is like a nice, hey, we

85
01:02:16,958 --> 01:02:18,166
just finished work for the day.

86
01:02:19,041 --> 01:02:20,041
So we're still fresh.

87
01:02:20,666 --> 01:02:21,041
Kind of.

88
01:02:21,500 --> 01:02:23,333
Kind of, you know,

89
01:02:23,500 --> 01:02:24,375
but we're not just waking

90
01:02:24,375 --> 01:02:25,958
up, drinking our coffee.

91
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:26,208
Yeah, that's right.

92
01:02:26,208 --> 01:02:28,250
Or are we sipping alcohol,

93
01:02:28,500 --> 01:02:29,125
because it's, you know.

94
01:02:29,375 --> 01:02:30,541
Yeah, we've been nice and lube,

95
01:02:30,541 --> 01:02:32,208
because we've been working all day long.

96
01:02:32,291 --> 01:02:32,625
Yeah.

97
01:02:32,708 --> 01:02:34,291
Yeah, we're not inebriated,

98
01:02:34,291 --> 01:02:36,333
because we're drinking water today,

99
01:02:36,333 --> 01:02:37,625
because we got soccer tonight.

100
01:02:37,875 --> 01:02:38,208
Yeah.

101
01:02:38,208 --> 01:02:39,333
And a couple other activities.

102
01:02:39,750 --> 01:02:40,041
Yeah.

103
01:02:40,333 --> 01:02:41,333
So I don't know if

104
01:02:41,333 --> 01:02:42,083
it's at our best, though.

105
01:02:42,083 --> 01:02:42,958
I mean, I've been staring

106
01:02:42,958 --> 01:02:44,333
at a computer screen all day.

107
01:02:44,333 --> 01:02:44,875
You know when you,

108
01:02:45,708 --> 01:02:46,666
maybe you don't do it as much,

109
01:02:46,666 --> 01:02:47,625
because you're in meetings so much,

110
01:02:47,625 --> 01:02:48,916
but you are staring at people.

111
01:02:48,916 --> 01:02:49,250
Oh, yeah.

112
01:02:50,291 --> 01:02:51,583
But it's like when you have

113
01:02:51,583 --> 01:02:53,000
like a flash bang in your eyes

114
01:02:53,125 --> 01:02:54,458
and you can see,

115
01:02:54,666 --> 01:02:55,791
you know, like the sun,

116
01:02:56,250 --> 01:02:57,000
like after you look at

117
01:02:57,000 --> 01:02:58,250
the sun, accidentally.

118
01:02:58,625 --> 01:03:00,208
Not that I stare at the sun often.

119
01:03:00,708 --> 01:03:02,625
Yeah, I hear that's actually bad for you.

120
01:03:03,125 --> 01:03:03,500
(laughs)

121
01:03:03,625 --> 01:03:05,500
Ironically, it causes retina damage.

122
01:03:05,500 --> 01:03:07,208
I can confirm it is bad for you.

123
01:03:07,541 --> 01:03:08,625
Not through personal experience.

124
01:03:09,125 --> 01:03:10,708
But I feel like I've got that,

125
01:03:10,708 --> 01:03:11,166
because I've been staring

126
01:03:11,166 --> 01:03:12,208
at this computer all day.

127
01:03:12,208 --> 01:03:12,833
I've been doing,

128
01:03:13,416 --> 01:03:14,375
I've been in Excel,

129
01:03:14,708 --> 01:03:16,416
I've been doing accounting stuff, so.

130
01:03:16,500 --> 01:03:17,208
Oh, your favorite.

131
01:03:17,625 --> 01:03:18,333
I've been catching up on

132
01:03:18,333 --> 01:03:20,500
books for the companies.

133
01:03:21,291 --> 01:03:23,416
So I am just a little bit like,

134
01:03:24,500 --> 01:03:26,041
I gotta pull out of that.

135
01:03:26,458 --> 01:03:26,875
You know what I mean?

136
01:03:27,291 --> 01:03:29,166
Because you're just so into the numbers

137
01:03:29,625 --> 01:03:32,166
and you know, debits and credits.

138
01:03:32,541 --> 01:03:34,083
And now I'm back into, okay.

139
01:03:35,541 --> 01:03:36,500
Personality again.

140
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:37,291
I know.

141
01:03:37,833 --> 01:03:39,083
Tea accounts and personality.

142
01:03:39,375 --> 01:03:41,083
They're kind of at odds with each other.

143
01:03:41,208 --> 01:03:42,000
Yeah, yeah.

144
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:43,541
No offense to any of the

145
01:03:43,541 --> 01:03:44,666
accountants that are listening.

146
01:03:45,041 --> 01:03:45,958
Oh, no, no.

147
01:03:46,291 --> 01:03:46,500
Yeah.

148
01:03:47,166 --> 01:03:48,875
Being a CPA is a great skill.

149
01:03:49,458 --> 01:03:50,500
It is, it is.

150
01:03:51,416 --> 01:03:52,333
Everybody, I mean,

151
01:03:53,416 --> 01:03:54,583
I don't even know what to say about that.

152
01:03:54,583 --> 01:03:55,708
I know a lot of great accountants.

153
01:03:55,708 --> 01:03:56,541
You work with a bunch

154
01:03:56,541 --> 01:03:56,958
of great accountants.

155
01:03:56,958 --> 01:03:58,291
Oh, I work with a ton of accountants.

156
01:03:58,291 --> 01:03:58,500
Yeah.

157
01:03:59,125 --> 01:04:00,416
And it's funny,

158
01:04:00,416 --> 01:04:01,541
because even they will be like,

159
01:04:01,541 --> 01:04:02,250
yeah, but I'm not a

160
01:04:02,250 --> 01:04:03,125
traditional accountant.

161
01:04:03,500 --> 01:04:04,625
I'm more of a.

162
01:04:04,666 --> 01:04:06,083
It's kind of an inside joke with

163
01:04:06,083 --> 01:04:07,125
accountants though, right?

164
01:04:07,416 --> 01:04:08,416
It's like, there's certain

165
01:04:08,416 --> 01:04:09,583
professions that you're like,

166
01:04:09,583 --> 01:04:12,083
oh, your personality type fits perfect

167
01:04:12,083 --> 01:04:13,000
for that profession.

168
01:04:13,083 --> 01:04:14,041
Yes, yes.

169
01:04:14,041 --> 01:04:14,625
Right? Yeah.

170
01:04:14,625 --> 01:04:15,500
And accountants are one of those

171
01:04:15,500 --> 01:04:16,625
that kind of fit into that.

172
01:04:16,666 --> 01:04:16,916
Yeah.

173
01:04:16,958 --> 01:04:18,291
Which to your point,

174
01:04:18,291 --> 01:04:18,958
you work with some

175
01:04:18,958 --> 01:04:19,666
accountants that are like,

176
01:04:19,791 --> 01:04:20,750
but I'm not the typical accountant.

177
01:04:21,166 --> 01:04:22,833
I'm not that kind of accountant.

178
01:04:25,291 --> 01:04:25,916
In fact, they're all

179
01:04:25,916 --> 01:04:27,083
pretty quick to say that.

180
01:04:27,416 --> 01:04:28,083
That's funny.

181
01:04:28,083 --> 01:04:28,875
Oh, so maybe we are

182
01:04:28,875 --> 01:04:30,000
offending in the accountants then.

183
01:04:30,791 --> 01:04:31,750
It's funny because they

184
01:04:31,750 --> 01:04:34,416
identify as like a finance person.

185
01:04:34,708 --> 01:04:35,708
Just they happen to

186
01:04:35,708 --> 01:04:36,916
have their CPA license.

187
01:04:37,291 --> 01:04:38,083
Yeah, yeah.

188
01:04:39,083 --> 01:04:40,541
Isn't that funny how we all

189
01:04:40,541 --> 01:04:42,208
kind of just identify ourselves

190
01:04:42,875 --> 01:04:46,375
so much with what we do for a living?

191
01:04:46,416 --> 01:04:46,625
Yeah.

192
01:04:47,041 --> 01:04:47,250
Right?

193
01:04:47,500 --> 01:04:49,000
I mean, some of these books,

194
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:49,875
and I didn't plan on

195
01:04:49,875 --> 01:04:50,833
bringing this up at all,

196
01:04:50,833 --> 01:04:51,875
but some of these books

197
01:04:51,875 --> 01:04:52,750
that I've been reading

198
01:04:52,750 --> 01:04:53,333
and doing the book

199
01:04:53,333 --> 01:04:54,500
review on morning cereal

200
01:04:54,500 --> 01:04:55,500
and just other things,

201
01:04:55,500 --> 01:04:57,333
I mean, it just talks about

202
01:04:57,333 --> 01:04:59,166
just how much people put into

203
01:04:59,916 --> 01:05:01,875
their self-worth of what they do.

204
01:05:01,958 --> 01:05:02,208
Yeah.

205
01:05:02,250 --> 01:05:04,416
And maybe even men more so at times,

206
01:05:04,416 --> 01:05:05,750
because that's, you know,

207
01:05:06,291 --> 01:05:07,958
that's like, you know, going out,

208
01:05:07,958 --> 01:05:08,916
bringing home the bacon,

209
01:05:08,916 --> 01:05:10,458
literally like the caveman in us.

210
01:05:10,500 --> 01:05:11,041
Yeah, yeah.

211
01:05:11,625 --> 01:05:12,958
I think women do it too though.

212
01:05:13,458 --> 01:05:13,666
Yeah.

213
01:05:13,708 --> 01:05:15,958
You know, there's a certain, like,

214
01:05:16,666 --> 01:05:20,208
I identify as a RN, a doctor,

215
01:05:22,125 --> 01:05:24,958
a CPA, like whatever that is.

216
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:26,125
But not that kind of CPA.

217
01:05:26,166 --> 01:05:27,208
But not that kind of CPA.

218
01:05:29,083 --> 01:05:29,333
(both laughing)

219
01:05:30,208 --> 01:05:31,166
I'm finance and through,

220
01:05:31,458 --> 01:05:33,500
like I can talk to the

221
01:05:33,500 --> 01:05:34,500
accountants I work with,

222
01:05:34,500 --> 01:05:35,208
they will tell you I

223
01:05:35,208 --> 01:05:36,500
often, I'm like, I'm not a CPA.

224
01:05:38,083 --> 01:05:39,833
But yeah, you do, you spend

225
01:05:39,833 --> 01:05:43,041
so much time there doing that.

226
01:05:43,041 --> 01:05:43,333
Mm-hmm.

227
01:05:44,291 --> 01:05:46,458
And then that it takes

228
01:05:46,458 --> 01:05:47,708
just so much investment

229
01:05:47,708 --> 01:05:49,750
in order to get there and

230
01:05:49,750 --> 01:05:51,750
feel like you're producing

231
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:52,750
and contributing.

232
01:05:53,250 --> 01:05:53,500
Yeah.

233
01:05:54,500 --> 01:05:55,166
I think it would almost be

234
01:05:55,166 --> 01:05:56,750
hard not to take some type

235
01:05:56,750 --> 01:05:58,083
of self-worth out of it.

236
01:05:58,916 --> 01:06:03,208
Yeah, because if you rewind the tape,

237
01:06:03,916 --> 01:06:08,500
or the VHS tape, no, you can do that too.

238
01:06:09,541 --> 01:06:09,666
(mumbles)

239
01:06:11,208 --> 01:06:12,125
(laughs)

240
01:06:12,458 --> 01:06:13,000
It's really good.

241
01:06:15,166 --> 01:06:15,208
(both laughing)

242
01:06:15,208 --> 01:06:17,541
But if you rewind your

243
01:06:17,541 --> 01:06:19,916
career, and I always go back,

244
01:06:19,916 --> 01:06:20,583
I don't think we talked

245
01:06:20,583 --> 01:06:22,125
about it on the podcast yet,

246
01:06:22,125 --> 01:06:23,750
but there was a point in your time

247
01:06:23,833 --> 01:06:24,833
before you were with your

248
01:06:24,833 --> 01:06:27,000
current company in Chicago

249
01:06:27,250 --> 01:06:28,500
where you're actually placing people.

250
01:06:29,708 --> 01:06:32,125
And you saw, you had

251
01:06:32,125 --> 01:06:32,833
some pretty good stories,

252
01:06:33,208 --> 01:06:34,375
resumes and stuff.

253
01:06:34,375 --> 01:06:35,375
Oh, yeah, yeah.

254
01:06:35,666 --> 01:06:37,625
Right, but tell, just for

255
01:06:37,625 --> 01:06:38,958
a fun fact of the resume

256
01:06:39,125 --> 01:06:40,375
about the silverware.

257
01:06:40,958 --> 01:06:42,333
Oh my gosh, yeah, it had

258
01:06:42,333 --> 01:06:44,583
what their duties included

259
01:06:44,583 --> 01:06:46,000
or what they did well, and it was

260
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:47,875
organizing silverware.

261
01:06:48,125 --> 01:06:49,291
This was on somebody's resume.

262
01:06:49,333 --> 01:06:50,000
This was on someone's

263
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:51,208
resume, and I was like,

264
01:06:51,875 --> 01:06:54,250
I'm hiring you for a finance position.

265
01:06:54,458 --> 01:06:55,708
Were you at least counting the forks?

266
01:06:56,541 --> 01:06:58,708
No, you were just organizing the forks.

267
01:06:59,291 --> 01:07:00,416
Yet this isn't gonna work.

268
01:07:00,458 --> 01:07:01,458
Wasn't bean counter

269
01:07:01,458 --> 01:07:02,291
or anything like that.

270
01:07:02,291 --> 01:07:02,833
It wasn't.

271
01:07:02,833 --> 01:07:03,583
Work count, yeah.

272
01:07:04,458 --> 01:07:04,500
(laughs)

273
01:07:04,666 --> 01:07:06,250
I also had someone who

274
01:07:06,250 --> 01:07:09,375
his aspiration was to work

275
01:07:09,541 --> 01:07:10,583
in a tall building where

276
01:07:10,583 --> 01:07:12,041
he could use the elevator

277
01:07:12,875 --> 01:07:15,291
to go up to his office.

278
01:07:15,541 --> 01:07:16,500
Did he tell you that or

279
01:07:16,500 --> 01:07:17,375
was that on his, yeah,

280
01:07:17,541 --> 01:07:18,791
that was in the spoken interview.

281
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:20,541
Somehow this guy made

282
01:07:20,541 --> 01:07:23,500
it past just the resume,

283
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:26,083
and I ended up talking to this guy,

284
01:07:26,083 --> 01:07:28,291
and I was like, and we're done.

285
01:07:29,208 --> 01:07:30,875
But I'm glad you brought that one up,

286
01:07:30,875 --> 01:07:31,333
because that's the

287
01:07:31,333 --> 01:07:32,541
one I was gonna bring up

288
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:33,750
was that one in

289
01:07:33,750 --> 01:07:35,291
particular, because if you rewind,

290
01:07:35,666 --> 01:07:38,125
and I know what that guy's talking about,

291
01:07:38,291 --> 01:07:39,041
everybody's got this

292
01:07:39,041 --> 01:07:40,583
fantasy of what you're gonna do

293
01:07:40,583 --> 01:07:41,125
when you grow up.

294
01:07:41,416 --> 01:07:42,416
And some people wanna wear a

295
01:07:42,416 --> 01:07:43,916
suit and a tie and go to work,

296
01:07:44,541 --> 01:07:45,458
and those people wanna

297
01:07:45,458 --> 01:07:47,166
go up into a skyscraper

298
01:07:47,166 --> 01:07:48,208
and take an elevator

299
01:07:48,208 --> 01:07:49,208
up, you know what I mean?

300
01:07:49,625 --> 01:07:51,208
It's kind of the sexy,

301
01:07:53,125 --> 01:07:56,250
that's just the dream scenario is.

302
01:07:56,916 --> 01:07:59,000
And I remember that,

303
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:01,083
because before I was

304
01:08:01,083 --> 01:08:03,250
in a white-collar job,

305
01:08:04,708 --> 01:08:06,708
during college, I worked blue-collar jobs

306
01:08:07,875 --> 01:08:08,625
for the most part.

307
01:08:08,875 --> 01:08:10,000
I mean, I did some

308
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:11,041
other white-collar ones,

309
01:08:11,041 --> 01:08:12,291
but I did both, I guess.

310
01:08:12,291 --> 01:08:12,875
You did both, right.

311
01:08:12,875 --> 01:08:14,166
But never a professional job

312
01:08:14,166 --> 01:08:15,916
after I finished college, right?

313
01:08:15,916 --> 01:08:17,333
And then I started working for the bank.

314
01:08:18,083 --> 01:08:19,333
And that was a big

315
01:08:19,333 --> 01:08:21,750
deal for me to finally,

316
01:08:22,208 --> 01:08:23,583
when I was a salaried

317
01:08:23,583 --> 01:08:25,125
employee for the first time,

318
01:08:25,125 --> 01:08:26,666
I mean, again, I thought I

319
01:08:26,666 --> 01:08:29,416
made it at that point in time.

320
01:08:29,875 --> 01:08:31,041
And I did, I rode a

321
01:08:31,041 --> 01:08:33,875
train from the suburbs down,

322
01:08:34,333 --> 01:08:35,875
or I rode the L at the time, right?

323
01:08:35,875 --> 01:08:36,541
Yeah, it was the L, yeah.

324
01:08:36,708 --> 01:08:38,208
I rode the L downtown to

325
01:08:38,208 --> 01:08:39,500
the financial district.

326
01:08:40,125 --> 01:08:41,791
I wore, I did have to

327
01:08:41,791 --> 01:08:42,916
dress up and wore suits

328
01:08:42,916 --> 01:08:43,750
and all that kind of stuff,

329
01:08:43,750 --> 01:08:44,958
and went up to the 27th

330
01:08:44,958 --> 01:08:45,958
floor, I think it was.

331
01:08:46,750 --> 01:08:49,000
So that, to me, that was kind of a,

332
01:08:49,958 --> 01:08:52,958
wow, I had arrived at my young age,

333
01:08:52,958 --> 01:08:54,291
I felt like I had arrived.

334
01:08:54,291 --> 01:08:55,500
Yeah, for sure.

335
01:08:55,833 --> 01:08:57,041
But you had that early on,

336
01:08:57,041 --> 01:08:57,625
almost straight out

337
01:08:57,625 --> 01:08:58,708
of college, didn't you?

338
01:08:58,708 --> 01:09:00,208
I did, yeah, yeah.

339
01:09:00,208 --> 01:09:00,750
In Minnesota.

340
01:09:01,416 --> 01:09:03,791
Yeah, which, so for me, I

341
01:09:03,791 --> 01:09:05,208
got used to it kind of young,

342
01:09:05,500 --> 01:09:09,208
but I mean, although

343
01:09:09,208 --> 01:09:11,583
when I was first working at,

344
01:09:12,041 --> 01:09:14,000
so I started at Marshall Fields,

345
01:09:14,333 --> 01:09:16,041
which was purchased by Macy's,

346
01:09:16,041 --> 01:09:18,125
but that was owned by Target at the time.

347
01:09:18,125 --> 01:09:18,958
Hey, by the way, shout

348
01:09:18,958 --> 01:09:20,125
out to Marshall Fields.

349
01:09:20,500 --> 01:09:22,166
Oh yeah, if anybody, yeah.

350
01:09:22,166 --> 01:09:22,708
Everybody knows, if

351
01:09:22,708 --> 01:09:24,333
you know Marshall Fields,

352
01:09:24,333 --> 01:09:26,166
you're a Gen Xer, you've been around,

353
01:09:26,166 --> 01:09:29,291
you're a Midwesterner, and what were the,

354
01:09:29,291 --> 01:09:30,750
what were those little chocolates called?

355
01:09:31,250 --> 01:09:32,125
Oh, the Franco Mints.

356
01:09:32,125 --> 01:09:33,000
The Franco Mints.

357
01:09:33,166 --> 01:09:35,833
I think Macy's still sells Franco Mints.

358
01:09:35,833 --> 01:09:36,708
Do they, the same ones?

359
01:09:36,875 --> 01:09:37,458
I would think so,

360
01:09:37,458 --> 01:09:38,541
because that was always like a hallmark.

361
01:09:38,875 --> 01:09:40,958
All right, well, DMS, I wanna know

362
01:09:40,958 --> 01:09:41,750
if you put your Franco

363
01:09:41,750 --> 01:09:43,291
Mints in the freezer,

364
01:09:44,333 --> 01:09:45,500
or if you just left them out.

365
01:09:45,958 --> 01:09:46,958
We always left them out.

366
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:48,166
We were a freezer family.

367
01:09:48,416 --> 01:09:48,833
You were.

368
01:09:49,166 --> 01:09:50,291
Not by my choice, but

369
01:09:50,291 --> 01:09:52,250
that's just, anyways.

370
01:09:52,583 --> 01:09:54,375
Yeah, those were really good.

371
01:09:54,833 --> 01:09:55,375
You were with Marshall

372
01:09:55,375 --> 01:09:56,541
Fields up in Minnesota.

373
01:09:56,875 --> 01:09:58,000
Yeah, but our

374
01:09:58,000 --> 01:09:59,333
headquarters, so it was part of Target,

375
01:09:59,500 --> 01:10:01,208
so it was still part of the corporation,

376
01:10:02,166 --> 01:10:03,750
but the corporate

377
01:10:03,750 --> 01:10:05,583
offices were actually above

378
01:10:06,166 --> 01:10:07,083
the department store,

379
01:10:07,416 --> 01:10:08,166
downtown Minneapolis,

380
01:10:09,041 --> 01:10:09,916
so, and they didn't want

381
01:10:09,916 --> 01:10:10,958
us using the escalators,

382
01:10:10,958 --> 01:10:12,291
it was a huge department store,

383
01:10:12,291 --> 01:10:13,750
I think it's like eight levels, right?

384
01:10:13,750 --> 01:10:15,083
So I mean, it's pretty

385
01:10:15,083 --> 01:10:17,000
big for a department store.

386
01:10:17,958 --> 01:10:18,500
And so we would have

387
01:10:18,500 --> 01:10:19,541
to take the escalators,

388
01:10:20,416 --> 01:10:22,041
and I worked on the seventh floor,

389
01:10:22,625 --> 01:10:23,625
so like it was like

390
01:10:23,625 --> 01:10:26,375
escalator, escalator, escalator.

391
01:10:26,375 --> 01:10:26,916
Oh, really?

392
01:10:26,916 --> 01:10:27,833
Anytime we had to go like,

393
01:10:28,125 --> 01:10:29,166
hey, I'm gonna go grab some lunch.

394
01:10:30,041 --> 01:10:30,500
Escalator?

395
01:10:30,958 --> 01:10:31,416
Escalator.

396
01:10:32,666 --> 01:10:32,875
Really?

397
01:10:33,375 --> 01:10:33,541
Yeah.

398
01:10:34,375 --> 01:10:35,041
That's so funny.

399
01:10:35,375 --> 01:10:37,666
Yeah, so I didn't have an

400
01:10:37,666 --> 01:10:39,250
elevator in my first job,

401
01:10:39,250 --> 01:10:41,125
I had an escalator.

402
01:10:41,166 --> 01:10:41,916
Yeah, wow.

403
01:10:42,166 --> 01:10:42,541
Yeah.

404
01:10:42,541 --> 01:10:43,416
I never knew that story.

405
01:10:43,416 --> 01:10:43,791
Into the corporate offices.

406
01:10:43,833 --> 01:10:44,291
That's hilarious.

407
01:10:45,333 --> 01:10:46,541
Yeah, and then I did

408
01:10:46,541 --> 01:10:47,583
switch over to Target,

409
01:10:48,541 --> 01:10:49,708
and there we used the elevators.

410
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:50,875
Yeah, yeah.

411
01:10:51,500 --> 01:10:52,333
Well, part of the

412
01:10:52,333 --> 01:10:53,083
reason I brought that up

413
01:10:53,083 --> 01:10:54,958
is because just everybody

414
01:10:54,958 --> 01:10:56,500
identifies with what they do,

415
01:10:56,500 --> 01:10:57,666
you know, like I'm a sales guy,

416
01:10:58,000 --> 01:10:59,791
or like for me, for the longest time,

417
01:10:59,958 --> 01:11:01,541
it was like I'm a banker,

418
01:11:02,041 --> 01:11:03,041
but not that kind of banker.

419
01:11:03,375 --> 01:11:03,541
Yeah.

420
01:11:04,041 --> 01:11:04,541
You know what I mean?

421
01:11:04,541 --> 01:11:05,625
I will say that too, yeah.

422
01:11:05,666 --> 01:11:06,500
Yeah, because a lot of people,

423
01:11:06,500 --> 01:11:07,291
when you say you're a banker,

424
01:11:07,291 --> 01:11:08,666
like, oh, you're a teller.

425
01:11:08,958 --> 01:11:09,166
Right.

426
01:11:09,208 --> 01:11:09,708
That's fine, there's

427
01:11:09,708 --> 01:11:10,958
nothing wrong with being a teller.

428
01:11:10,958 --> 01:11:11,416
Not at all.

429
01:11:11,708 --> 01:11:12,833
But that's not what I did.

430
01:11:13,083 --> 01:11:14,250
So I was like trying to

431
01:11:14,250 --> 01:11:15,500
be, you know, I'm a banker,

432
01:11:15,708 --> 01:11:16,958
but like a lot of people

433
01:11:16,958 --> 01:11:17,958
thought I worked in mortgage

434
01:11:18,208 --> 01:11:18,625
or something like that.

435
01:11:18,625 --> 01:11:19,000
Right.

436
01:11:19,041 --> 01:11:20,833
Like, no, no, no, no, I'm in finance,

437
01:11:21,166 --> 01:11:22,500
I underwrite large deals.

438
01:11:23,125 --> 01:11:24,000
And so there was always like

439
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:26,291
that kind of like ebb and flow

440
01:11:26,291 --> 01:11:27,750
or that struggle to be like,

441
01:11:28,333 --> 01:11:29,625
how much of my elevator

442
01:11:29,625 --> 01:11:30,958
speech do I give these people

443
01:11:30,958 --> 01:11:32,791
so that they are not a teller,

444
01:11:33,208 --> 01:11:34,000
but I also don't think I'm

445
01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:34,666
the most important person

446
01:11:34,666 --> 01:11:35,125
in the world.

447
01:11:35,625 --> 01:11:37,833
Right, right, there's, in any industry,

448
01:11:38,250 --> 01:11:39,375
if you're not from that industry,

449
01:11:39,375 --> 01:11:40,208
you're not gonna understand.

450
01:11:40,750 --> 01:11:41,625
Like, anyone probably

451
01:11:41,625 --> 01:11:42,291
in the medical field

452
01:11:42,291 --> 01:11:44,250
or like academia, you could talk about

453
01:11:44,250 --> 01:11:44,666
what you did in

454
01:11:44,666 --> 01:11:45,708
academia, and I would be like,

455
01:11:46,166 --> 01:11:47,875
I don't know, so you're like a professor?

456
01:11:48,291 --> 01:11:50,000
You know, I'd be like, I don't know.

457
01:11:50,416 --> 01:11:51,541
Yeah, we dumb it down.

458
01:11:51,666 --> 01:11:52,291
Yeah, yeah.

459
01:11:52,333 --> 01:11:53,041
So you're a teacher.

460
01:11:53,333 --> 01:11:53,583
Yeah.

461
01:11:54,916 --> 01:11:55,791
Because I don't know.

462
01:11:55,791 --> 01:11:56,625
At the college, yeah.

463
01:11:56,916 --> 01:11:57,666
I know there's difference

464
01:11:57,666 --> 01:11:58,541
between tenure and professors

465
01:11:58,541 --> 01:12:01,000
and all that kind of stuff, but yeah.

466
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:03,041
I mean, I kind of do, but not really.

467
01:12:03,625 --> 01:12:04,583
You're right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

468
01:12:04,583 --> 01:12:05,625
We pretend we do, but

469
01:12:05,625 --> 01:12:06,458
yeah, you're a teacher.

470
01:12:07,833 --> 01:12:09,250
That, you know, I don't know.

471
01:12:09,250 --> 01:12:11,625
I guess the point there was just that,

472
01:12:12,291 --> 01:12:14,833
you know, everybody identifies,

473
01:12:14,833 --> 01:12:15,416
and it's just such a

474
01:12:15,416 --> 01:12:16,333
big part of our lives.

475
01:12:16,375 --> 01:12:16,583
Yeah.

476
01:12:17,041 --> 01:12:18,041
Of like, what do you do?

477
01:12:18,041 --> 01:12:18,875
And like, some of

478
01:12:18,875 --> 01:12:19,750
these books I'm reading on,

479
01:12:19,750 --> 01:12:21,291
it's like, well, you

480
01:12:21,291 --> 01:12:23,083
shouldn't define yourself by like,

481
01:12:23,416 --> 01:12:24,708
I'm a finance guy.

482
01:12:24,750 --> 01:12:24,875
Yeah.

483
01:12:24,916 --> 01:12:25,458
I'm in finance.

484
01:12:27,375 --> 01:12:27,541
Yeah.

485
01:12:27,875 --> 01:12:29,958
Because I did a sales aspect to that too,

486
01:12:29,958 --> 01:12:30,875
and I am not a salesman.

487
01:12:31,250 --> 01:12:32,833
There's a sales aspect to what I did

488
01:12:32,833 --> 01:12:33,416
with the portfolio

489
01:12:33,416 --> 01:12:34,500
management and going out.

490
01:12:34,958 --> 01:12:37,083
But I'm like the world's worst salesman.

491
01:12:37,083 --> 01:12:38,166
I'm not the world's worst salesman.

492
01:12:38,208 --> 01:12:38,791
Yeah, no, you're not.

493
01:12:38,833 --> 01:12:40,125
I'm not the typical salesman.

494
01:12:40,375 --> 01:12:40,541
Right.

495
01:12:40,583 --> 01:12:41,375
Right, I had my own

496
01:12:41,375 --> 01:12:43,291
strengths and weaknesses, right?

497
01:12:43,500 --> 01:12:43,708
Right.

498
01:12:43,916 --> 01:12:45,250
I found out what worked for me.

499
01:12:45,916 --> 01:12:46,708
But, you know,

500
01:12:46,708 --> 01:12:47,666
everybody puts these things

501
01:12:47,666 --> 01:12:49,166
on their social media now.

502
01:12:49,166 --> 01:12:50,708
It's like, I got my LinkedIn.

503
01:12:51,041 --> 01:12:51,375
Yeah.

504
01:12:51,375 --> 01:12:54,333
You know, I think I said something like,

505
01:12:55,500 --> 01:12:56,291
at some point it said

506
01:12:56,291 --> 01:12:58,041
something like finance expert,

507
01:12:58,500 --> 01:13:01,333
but Gen X dad or Gen X,

508
01:13:01,333 --> 01:13:03,333
or husband and Gen X dad,

509
01:13:03,333 --> 01:13:04,291
so all these like little

510
01:13:04,291 --> 01:13:06,416
words that we're all trying

511
01:13:06,583 --> 01:13:08,750
to use to define like who

512
01:13:08,750 --> 01:13:11,708
we are over 50 years of life.

513
01:13:11,708 --> 01:13:12,000
Yeah.

514
01:13:12,416 --> 01:13:13,583
I don't know where I'm going with that.

515
01:13:13,583 --> 01:13:15,750
It's kind of out there right now,

516
01:13:15,750 --> 01:13:16,916
but you know, everybody

517
01:13:16,916 --> 01:13:19,125
gets that midlife crisis.

518
01:13:19,458 --> 01:13:20,833
Like what the heck am I,

519
01:13:20,833 --> 01:13:22,000
and what have I been doing?

520
01:13:22,291 --> 01:13:22,833
Yeah, yeah.

521
01:13:22,833 --> 01:13:23,791
So I'm almost done.

522
01:13:25,791 --> 01:13:28,166
I'm getting to the end of doing.

523
01:13:30,375 --> 01:13:30,625
(laughing)

524
01:13:30,625 --> 01:13:32,083
I don't know how that

525
01:13:32,083 --> 01:13:34,333
works, but I'm gonna go with it.

526
01:13:34,583 --> 01:13:34,750
Yeah.

527
01:13:34,750 --> 01:13:35,041
You know?

528
01:13:35,333 --> 01:13:35,708
Yeah.

529
01:13:36,208 --> 01:13:37,791
But, and I think it changes too.

530
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:40,333
So like, I talked to

531
01:13:40,333 --> 01:13:41,333
someone just this weekend.

532
01:13:41,333 --> 01:13:43,083
She's like, she's telling me, she's like,

533
01:13:43,083 --> 01:13:44,416
I've had nine careers.

534
01:13:44,416 --> 01:13:46,250
And I was like, wow, you know,

535
01:13:46,625 --> 01:13:47,166
I've always kind of

536
01:13:47,166 --> 01:13:48,083
stayed in the same one.

537
01:13:48,500 --> 01:13:50,125
You've had a couple different, you know,

538
01:13:50,125 --> 01:13:51,125
where it was like

539
01:13:51,125 --> 01:13:53,000
entrepreneur, banker, you know,

540
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:55,000
like maybe you could say

541
01:13:55,000 --> 01:13:57,166
you've had two, but it's like.

542
01:13:57,250 --> 01:13:58,208
I have one primary.

543
01:13:58,458 --> 01:13:59,291
I've been in finance.

544
01:13:59,333 --> 01:14:00,000
One primary, yeah.

545
01:14:00,250 --> 01:14:01,458
But I, it overlapped

546
01:14:01,458 --> 01:14:02,541
with my always trying

547
01:14:02,541 --> 01:14:03,333
to be entrepreneurial.

548
01:14:03,458 --> 01:14:03,875
Exactly.

549
01:14:04,875 --> 01:14:05,166
And so.

550
01:14:05,416 --> 01:14:06,583
Fails and successes of that.

551
01:14:06,916 --> 01:14:07,083
Yeah.

552
01:14:08,166 --> 01:14:09,666
Fails and successes of anything

553
01:14:09,666 --> 01:14:11,750
in what people do for a living, right?

554
01:14:12,500 --> 01:14:14,458
It was just, yeah, it was so interesting.

555
01:14:14,458 --> 01:14:16,541
Cause I was like, it was,

556
01:14:16,750 --> 01:14:18,208
as I was listening to her,

557
01:14:18,208 --> 01:14:19,541
I was like, huh, I wonder

558
01:14:19,541 --> 01:14:20,791
what she defines herself as.

559
01:14:20,791 --> 01:14:22,541
Like I didn't have a whole lot of time

560
01:14:22,666 --> 01:14:24,625
to really get to know this person.

561
01:14:24,916 --> 01:14:25,166
Yeah.

562
01:14:25,416 --> 01:14:25,791
You know?

563
01:14:26,250 --> 01:14:26,458
Yeah.

564
01:14:27,291 --> 01:14:27,875
All I know is that she

565
01:14:27,875 --> 01:14:28,791
loves what she's doing now.

566
01:14:28,791 --> 01:14:30,625
She's a life coach, but it's like,

567
01:14:30,625 --> 01:14:31,708
does she identify herself

568
01:14:31,708 --> 01:14:33,291
as a mom or a grandmother

569
01:14:33,500 --> 01:14:34,875
or you know, whatever, I don't.

570
01:14:35,083 --> 01:14:35,375
Right.

571
01:14:35,583 --> 01:14:37,666
Or life coach, not sure.

572
01:14:38,166 --> 01:14:39,000
Right, right.

573
01:14:39,500 --> 01:14:40,166
I think you just wonder

574
01:14:40,166 --> 01:14:40,625
if some of those people

575
01:14:40,625 --> 01:14:41,125
that are kind of

576
01:14:41,125 --> 01:14:42,875
workaholics that would be labeled

577
01:14:42,875 --> 01:14:44,833
a workaholic, you know, they'd be,

578
01:14:45,250 --> 01:14:46,750
they would first say

579
01:14:46,750 --> 01:14:48,083
that they're a banker

580
01:14:48,083 --> 01:14:48,916
or whatever it might be.

581
01:14:49,041 --> 01:14:49,291
Right.

582
01:14:49,333 --> 01:14:49,666
Right.

583
01:14:50,125 --> 01:14:50,333
Yeah.

584
01:14:51,791 --> 01:14:51,916
And then, literally, it

585
01:14:51,916 --> 01:14:53,250
might pop into their head to say,

586
01:14:53,625 --> 01:14:54,625
oh, but I'm also married

587
01:14:54,625 --> 01:14:56,000
and I've got three kids.

588
01:14:56,000 --> 01:14:56,208
Yeah.

589
01:14:56,500 --> 01:14:56,708
Yeah.

590
01:14:56,958 --> 01:14:57,500
You know what I mean?

591
01:14:58,000 --> 01:14:59,208
Whereas for me, I mean, I

592
01:14:59,208 --> 01:15:00,416
always remember struggling

593
01:15:00,583 --> 01:15:03,833
early in my career when we had kids,

594
01:15:04,125 --> 01:15:05,291
when we started to have children,

595
01:15:06,416 --> 01:15:07,916
I asked someone that I

596
01:15:07,916 --> 01:15:09,000
looked up to and I said,

597
01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:10,583
hey, do I go to this bank event

598
01:15:11,166 --> 01:15:14,750
or do I go to my son's first of this?

599
01:15:14,750 --> 01:15:15,833
I don't even remember what it was.

600
01:15:15,833 --> 01:15:17,125
It was probably something at daycare.

601
01:15:17,125 --> 01:15:17,875
Do you remember?

602
01:15:18,416 --> 01:15:19,166
Yeah, it was his birthday.

603
01:15:19,875 --> 01:15:20,708
It was his birthday?

604
01:15:21,833 --> 01:15:22,000
Yeah.

605
01:15:23,541 --> 01:15:23,833
Seriously?

606
01:15:24,416 --> 01:15:24,625
Yeah.

607
01:15:25,041 --> 01:15:27,000
We had his birthday party already,

608
01:15:27,291 --> 01:15:28,041
but it was his actual--

609
01:15:28,041 --> 01:15:29,083
It was his actual birthday?

610
01:15:29,083 --> 01:15:30,083
It was his actual birthday.

611
01:15:30,125 --> 01:15:30,958
It was like on a Tuesday

612
01:15:30,958 --> 01:15:31,875
or something like that.

613
01:15:32,791 --> 01:15:33,791
And so I was gonna be

614
01:15:33,791 --> 01:15:35,250
gone at a bank event.

615
01:15:35,708 --> 01:15:36,416
For the whole day, was I

616
01:15:36,416 --> 01:15:37,166
gone for the whole day?

617
01:15:37,166 --> 01:15:38,000
I can't remember that part.

618
01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:39,125
See, this is everybody,

619
01:15:39,500 --> 01:15:40,500
I've got a terrible memory.

620
01:15:40,958 --> 01:15:41,166
So.

621
01:15:42,916 --> 01:15:44,000
I don't remember that, but--

622
01:15:44,250 --> 01:15:44,958
Meg's noticed she has

623
01:15:44,958 --> 01:15:46,083
to catalog everything

624
01:15:46,333 --> 01:15:47,958
that happens in my life for me.

625
01:15:47,958 --> 01:15:49,833
So she's running two memories out of that

626
01:15:50,666 --> 01:15:51,750
incredible brain of hers.

627
01:15:52,375 --> 01:15:53,250
It's really small head.

628
01:15:53,333 --> 01:15:54,208
So that's what it was.

629
01:15:54,208 --> 01:15:55,208
Good to remember that it was his

630
01:15:55,208 --> 01:15:57,500
birthday, but I asked.

631
01:15:57,500 --> 01:15:59,333
I was like, should I be home

632
01:15:59,333 --> 01:16:00,500
for my son's first birthday?

633
01:16:00,791 --> 01:16:02,041
I've already had the birthday party,

634
01:16:02,291 --> 01:16:03,208
or should I go to the thing?

635
01:16:03,208 --> 01:16:04,583
And I was still young in my career.

636
01:16:04,625 --> 01:16:04,833
Yeah.

637
01:16:06,250 --> 01:16:08,083
And that banker said,

638
01:16:08,083 --> 01:16:09,625
you should probably go to the bank thing.

639
01:16:10,041 --> 01:16:10,958
Because he chose the

640
01:16:10,958 --> 01:16:12,333
career aspect of that first.

641
01:16:12,750 --> 01:16:13,500
And I did, I listened

642
01:16:13,500 --> 01:16:14,500
to him, and I went to it,

643
01:16:14,500 --> 01:16:15,083
and I missed it.

644
01:16:15,375 --> 01:16:16,250
And the whole time I was

645
01:16:16,250 --> 01:16:17,750
there, I was so mad at myself.

646
01:16:18,125 --> 01:16:19,750
And I promised myself from that moment,

647
01:16:20,750 --> 01:16:21,958
I do remember that.

648
01:16:22,583 --> 01:16:24,000
That was the moment I said,

649
01:16:24,958 --> 01:16:26,708
I will pick my family

650
01:16:26,708 --> 01:16:29,166
first, always, from now on.

651
01:16:29,583 --> 01:16:30,500
And I don't think I've

652
01:16:30,500 --> 01:16:31,916
ever not done that since.

653
01:16:31,916 --> 01:16:32,625
No, no.

654
01:16:33,250 --> 01:16:35,208
But my point to that, again, was just,

655
01:16:36,208 --> 01:16:37,833
I would much rather say

656
01:16:37,833 --> 01:16:38,958
I'm a husband and a dad

657
01:16:38,958 --> 01:16:39,708
before I would say I

658
01:16:39,708 --> 01:16:41,875
was a banker in finance.

659
01:16:41,875 --> 01:16:42,583
Yeah, yeah.

660
01:16:43,166 --> 01:16:45,000
I actually did a, someone, I

661
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:45,875
had to do like an about you

662
01:16:45,875 --> 01:16:46,958
or something like that at work.

663
01:16:47,541 --> 01:16:49,958
And what I did was I

664
01:16:49,958 --> 01:16:51,375
put together a whole,

665
01:16:52,250 --> 01:16:53,166
like the whole first part

666
01:16:53,166 --> 01:16:54,958
of it was all of the titles

667
01:16:54,958 --> 01:16:56,500
that I hold, not

668
01:16:56,500 --> 01:16:57,708
actually my title at work.

669
01:16:57,750 --> 01:16:58,625
Yeah, yeah.

670
01:16:58,708 --> 01:17:00,500
And it was like my chief laundry officer,

671
01:17:00,791 --> 01:17:03,041
and chauffeur, and head chef,

672
01:17:03,666 --> 01:17:05,500
and all the things I

673
01:17:05,500 --> 01:17:07,208
was like, cheerleader.

674
01:17:07,791 --> 01:17:09,708
It was all the things that I do

675
01:17:09,958 --> 01:17:14,291
that take up a lot more of my brain power

676
01:17:14,583 --> 01:17:20,083
and my time than what I

677
01:17:20,083 --> 01:17:21,000
actually get paid for.

678
01:17:21,291 --> 01:17:22,291
Yeah, yeah.

679
01:17:22,833 --> 01:17:24,083
It was actually really cool.

680
01:17:24,083 --> 01:17:26,958
I was on a call just earlier this week

681
01:17:26,958 --> 01:17:29,416
with someone holds a

682
01:17:29,416 --> 01:17:31,666
significantly higher title than me.

683
01:17:31,666 --> 01:17:32,208
And he was like, hey

684
01:17:32,208 --> 01:17:33,458
guys, I need to leave early

685
01:17:33,458 --> 01:17:37,291
because I have to go do my dad job now.

686
01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:39,125
And it was, it was the middle of the day.

687
01:17:39,125 --> 01:17:40,500
I don't know what he had,

688
01:17:40,500 --> 01:17:41,333
but it was just such a

689
01:17:41,333 --> 01:17:42,958
perfect example of like,

690
01:17:43,583 --> 01:17:44,375
yeah, I think he's got

691
01:17:44,375 --> 01:17:45,291
his priorities right.

692
01:17:45,750 --> 01:17:46,541
How old is he?

693
01:17:48,416 --> 01:17:49,625
I don't know, but I was--

694
01:17:49,625 --> 01:17:50,333
He's just a guess.

695
01:17:50,625 --> 01:17:52,000
Our age, a little older. No, I think he's

696
01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:52,875
probably a little older.

697
01:17:52,875 --> 01:17:54,458
Yeah, I bet he's in his 50s.

698
01:17:55,041 --> 01:17:56,166
Yeah, because kids are in college.

699
01:17:56,375 --> 01:17:57,291
I assumed it was kind

700
01:17:57,291 --> 01:17:58,083
of a graduation thing,

701
01:17:58,291 --> 01:17:59,791
but it was just so cool because I'm like,

702
01:17:59,833 --> 01:18:01,375
that's someone who's

703
01:18:01,375 --> 01:18:02,625
done really, really well

704
01:18:02,625 --> 01:18:03,708
in their career, highly

705
01:18:03,708 --> 01:18:05,583
thought of in the workforce.

706
01:18:06,916 --> 01:18:08,375
But you would never question,

707
01:18:09,416 --> 01:18:10,166
you wouldn't question his

708
01:18:10,166 --> 01:18:11,291
commitment to the company either.

709
01:18:12,541 --> 01:18:13,500
But you never question

710
01:18:13,500 --> 01:18:14,583
where his priority is.

711
01:18:14,625 --> 01:18:14,875
Yeah.

712
01:18:15,250 --> 01:18:15,875
It was really cool.

713
01:18:17,083 --> 01:18:19,541
I respect that greatly just because,

714
01:18:19,791 --> 01:18:20,541
I mean, similar to the

715
01:18:20,541 --> 01:18:21,833
example I gave earlier,

716
01:18:22,250 --> 01:18:24,125
you know, who you're choosing business,

717
01:18:24,375 --> 01:18:26,333
or you're choosing, you know, life,

718
01:18:26,333 --> 01:18:27,375
your family and whatnot.

719
01:18:28,166 --> 01:18:29,875
And I'll just never forget,

720
01:18:29,875 --> 01:18:30,791
I actually mentioned it

721
01:18:30,791 --> 01:18:33,291
on morning cereal this week

722
01:18:33,666 --> 01:18:34,958
or previous week when

723
01:18:34,958 --> 01:18:36,000
people watched this,

724
01:18:36,666 --> 01:18:38,916
but it was leave work early day.

725
01:18:39,541 --> 01:18:41,958
And I think it was the day I messed up

726
01:18:42,041 --> 01:18:43,916
on the, I uploaded the

727
01:18:43,916 --> 01:18:44,833
wrong morning cereal.

728
01:18:44,833 --> 01:18:45,416
So if you listen to morning

729
01:18:45,416 --> 01:18:46,708
cereal, I know last Tuesday,

730
01:18:47,166 --> 01:18:48,416
I uploaded the wrong one.

731
01:18:48,416 --> 01:18:49,916
It took an hour for it to change.

732
01:18:50,250 --> 01:18:52,125
So the full real version's out there

733
01:18:52,125 --> 01:18:53,041
if you guys want to go back.

734
01:18:53,500 --> 01:18:54,375
But that was the day I

735
01:18:54,375 --> 01:18:55,958
literally said when I was younger,

736
01:18:56,541 --> 01:18:57,708
it was frowned upon to

737
01:18:57,708 --> 01:18:58,708
have work-life balance.

738
01:18:58,708 --> 01:18:59,416
Yeah, yeah.

739
01:18:59,583 --> 01:18:59,833
Right?

740
01:18:59,833 --> 01:19:02,041
It was like, you had to beat the boss in,

741
01:19:02,041 --> 01:19:03,750
you had to stay as late as the boss did.

742
01:19:03,875 --> 01:19:04,125
Yeah.

743
01:19:04,750 --> 01:19:08,166
And I just remember that

744
01:19:08,166 --> 01:19:09,416
killed me because I remember,

745
01:19:09,500 --> 01:19:12,125
you know, we had to get on the train,

746
01:19:12,750 --> 01:19:13,583
which was an hour.

747
01:19:13,625 --> 01:19:14,083
Was an hour.

748
01:19:14,375 --> 01:19:15,916
From downtown Chicago, all

749
01:19:15,916 --> 01:19:16,666
the way out to the suburbs.

750
01:19:17,166 --> 01:19:17,541
And then it was

751
01:19:17,541 --> 01:19:18,833
another 30 minute ride home

752
01:19:19,208 --> 01:19:20,500
from the train station.

753
01:19:20,500 --> 01:19:21,083
Yes, it was.

754
01:19:21,291 --> 01:19:23,958
And so, you know, I got

755
01:19:23,958 --> 01:19:26,625
in at 7.15 in the morning

756
01:19:27,125 --> 01:19:28,166
on the first train.

757
01:19:28,166 --> 01:19:29,500
We literally the first train out.

758
01:19:29,500 --> 01:19:29,958
Yeah, we were.

759
01:19:30,458 --> 01:19:32,833
And then getting back on a late train.

760
01:19:32,833 --> 01:19:33,250
I mean, you're not

761
01:19:33,250 --> 01:19:34,250
getting home till eight o'clock.

762
01:19:34,541 --> 01:19:36,166
And if we had a family at that time,

763
01:19:36,250 --> 01:19:38,916
which we did, a young family at least,

764
01:19:40,166 --> 01:19:41,375
I couldn't live that

765
01:19:41,375 --> 01:19:43,958
life and be that removed

766
01:19:44,166 --> 01:19:45,375
from family for that long.

767
01:19:45,375 --> 01:19:47,166
But that was the expectation at the time.

768
01:19:47,916 --> 01:19:49,041
I liked the fact that now

769
01:19:49,041 --> 01:19:50,041
people are getting that,

770
01:19:50,041 --> 01:19:50,333
you know, that

771
01:19:50,333 --> 01:19:52,125
work-life in most industries.

772
01:19:52,541 --> 01:19:53,125
I think there are still,

773
01:19:53,958 --> 01:19:57,083
banking is an old boy's industry.

774
01:19:57,125 --> 01:19:57,375
Yeah.

775
01:19:57,375 --> 01:19:57,583
Right?

776
01:19:57,708 --> 01:19:58,625
Like things don't

777
01:19:58,625 --> 01:19:59,916
change there as quickly.

778
01:19:59,916 --> 01:20:02,458
I mean, they are very, I

779
01:20:02,458 --> 01:20:03,375
don't know how to say it.

780
01:20:03,625 --> 01:20:04,250
You know, I got a lot

781
01:20:04,250 --> 01:20:05,250
of friends and colleagues

782
01:20:05,416 --> 01:20:06,916
that are still in there and they know.

783
01:20:07,541 --> 01:20:09,500
It's much more of the traditional--

784
01:20:09,708 --> 01:20:10,666
Traditional old boys.

785
01:20:11,541 --> 01:20:14,500
50s view of how you treat your career.

786
01:20:14,916 --> 01:20:16,208
Exactly, exactly.

787
01:20:16,541 --> 01:20:17,416
It's a little bit slower

788
01:20:17,416 --> 01:20:19,208
to evolve compared to yours.

789
01:20:19,208 --> 01:20:20,208
There's a little more forward.

790
01:20:20,250 --> 01:20:21,791
Right, it absolutely is.

791
01:20:22,125 --> 01:20:23,625
And how they view some of that.

792
01:20:23,833 --> 01:20:25,791
But my whole point there too was,

793
01:20:26,166 --> 01:20:27,958
if you are a true

794
01:20:27,958 --> 01:20:29,583
professional, you're good at your job.

795
01:20:30,416 --> 01:20:31,416
You should be able to have

796
01:20:31,416 --> 01:20:32,250
a little bit of flexibility

797
01:20:32,541 --> 01:20:33,375
in there because I don't

798
01:20:33,375 --> 01:20:34,541
know how in today's world

799
01:20:35,375 --> 01:20:37,083
you can do it without that flexibility.

800
01:20:37,416 --> 01:20:37,916
I don't know.

801
01:20:38,166 --> 01:20:39,291
I really don't.

802
01:20:39,958 --> 01:20:41,500
I don't think I could.

803
01:20:41,875 --> 01:20:43,541
And I fell into that trap

804
01:20:43,541 --> 01:20:45,000
early in my career of the,

805
01:20:45,250 --> 01:20:47,250
I mean, I worked all the time

806
01:20:47,250 --> 01:20:49,000
when I was younger in my career.

807
01:20:49,125 --> 01:20:49,333
Yeah.

808
01:20:49,833 --> 01:20:50,500
All the time.

809
01:20:50,625 --> 01:20:51,833
You're a very hard worker.

810
01:20:51,833 --> 01:20:52,458
In fact, we have

811
01:20:52,458 --> 01:20:53,625
conversations every now and again

812
01:20:53,625 --> 01:20:54,583
where there's just like,

813
01:20:54,958 --> 01:20:57,000
hey, let's touch base here a little bit.

814
01:20:58,000 --> 01:20:59,041
Like, let's have a

815
01:20:59,041 --> 01:21:01,083
refocus moment, you know?

816
01:21:01,083 --> 01:21:01,958
Like you're doing incredible,

817
01:21:02,416 --> 01:21:04,708
but you're starting to

818
01:21:04,708 --> 01:21:06,291
lose orbit around the family.

819
01:21:06,541 --> 01:21:07,833
Yeah, yeah, for sure.

820
01:21:08,500 --> 01:21:09,458
I need to be brought back.

821
01:21:09,916 --> 01:21:11,541
I remember when we first started dating,

822
01:21:12,791 --> 01:21:14,166
I may have said this on the podcast,

823
01:21:15,791 --> 01:21:16,750
but I would take you

824
01:21:16,750 --> 01:21:19,166
downtown, my office is downtown.

825
01:21:19,500 --> 01:21:19,958
On a leash.

826
01:21:21,500 --> 01:21:22,500
It sounded like I would

827
01:21:22,500 --> 01:21:23,541
take you out for a walk.

828
01:21:24,125 --> 01:21:25,250
Go ahead, you would take me downtown.

829
01:21:26,458 --> 01:21:27,458
You'd take me by the hand.

830
01:21:27,500 --> 01:21:28,375
I'd take you by the hand.

831
01:21:28,916 --> 01:21:30,500
I would drop you off at the bars

832
01:21:30,875 --> 01:21:32,250
and then I'd go into the office.

833
01:21:32,291 --> 01:21:32,666
The bars?

834
01:21:33,125 --> 01:21:34,166
Yeah, because you'd go out

835
01:21:34,166 --> 01:21:35,500
with some of your colleagues.

836
01:21:35,500 --> 01:21:36,041
This is Minneapolis?

837
01:21:36,333 --> 01:21:36,666
This is Minneapolis.

838
01:21:37,250 --> 01:21:37,875
Yes, yes, yes, yes.

839
01:21:37,875 --> 01:21:38,708
Yeah, and I would drop

840
01:21:38,708 --> 01:21:40,625
you off with friends.

841
01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:41,750
We weren't married yet.

842
01:21:41,750 --> 01:21:42,291
We were not.

843
01:21:42,791 --> 01:21:43,875
And I would go into the office,

844
01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:46,416
get some work done on a Saturday night,

845
01:21:46,416 --> 01:21:47,291
and then you'd call me

846
01:21:47,291 --> 01:21:48,125
and be like, hey, I'm ready.

847
01:21:48,375 --> 01:21:49,333
You can come, you know,

848
01:21:49,333 --> 01:21:50,125
get me and be like, okay.

849
01:21:50,791 --> 01:21:51,666
And all your friends were like,

850
01:21:51,666 --> 01:21:53,125
she's totally cheating on you.

851
01:21:54,375 --> 01:21:55,208
You're like, no, she's not.

852
01:21:55,208 --> 01:21:56,625
She really is probably working.

853
01:21:56,625 --> 01:21:57,500
I know her well enough.

854
01:21:58,375 --> 01:21:58,833
And I was.

855
01:21:59,500 --> 01:22:01,041
I was sitting alone in

856
01:22:01,041 --> 01:22:03,375
a cubicle, typing away.

857
01:22:04,583 --> 01:22:05,958
Yeah, I mean, you've always had that.

858
01:22:05,958 --> 01:22:06,833
You have that today.

859
01:22:07,458 --> 01:22:11,291
I mean, you are a great worker.

860
01:22:12,166 --> 01:22:14,833
Anybody that has you as an employee

861
01:22:14,958 --> 01:22:16,458
is blessed to have you as an employee

862
01:22:16,458 --> 01:22:18,041
because you dedicate,

863
01:22:19,125 --> 01:22:21,458
you're just all in on it

864
01:22:21,458 --> 01:22:22,958
as much as you possibly can.

865
01:22:22,958 --> 01:22:23,916
As much as I can.

866
01:22:23,958 --> 01:22:25,583
While also being all in our family

867
01:22:25,583 --> 01:22:26,250
because I don't think

868
01:22:26,250 --> 01:22:27,458
other than a few conversations

869
01:22:27,458 --> 01:22:29,083
that we've had throughout our marriage,

870
01:22:29,208 --> 01:22:30,916
where it's like, hey, bring the orbit

871
01:22:30,916 --> 01:22:32,375
a little bit closer back to home.

872
01:22:33,583 --> 01:22:35,708
And likewise, you've said that to me too,

873
01:22:35,708 --> 01:22:37,458
because I don't do as

874
01:22:37,458 --> 01:22:38,875
much, yours is more of an orbit

875
01:22:38,875 --> 01:22:39,583
where you just start getting

876
01:22:39,583 --> 01:22:40,791
a little bit bigger and wider.

877
01:22:41,916 --> 01:22:43,625
Mine is more of a feather in the cap,

878
01:22:44,250 --> 01:22:45,125
where it's like, I'm a

879
01:22:45,125 --> 01:22:46,875
rocket ship away from the family

880
01:22:47,333 --> 01:22:48,875
versus an orbit, right?

881
01:22:49,291 --> 01:22:50,750
Yeah, and it'll be like, okay.

882
01:22:51,083 --> 01:22:51,833
And you're like, steer

883
01:22:51,833 --> 01:22:53,208
the rocket ship back home.

884
01:22:53,875 --> 01:22:55,458
Because you'll just be so laser focused.

885
01:22:56,000 --> 01:22:56,250
Yeah.

886
01:22:57,375 --> 01:22:58,666
Yeah, we always say, I was like, yep,

887
01:22:58,708 --> 01:22:59,916
you have a bee in your bonnet.

888
01:23:00,166 --> 01:23:01,166
That's right, I'm like,

889
01:23:01,166 --> 01:23:02,000
yeah, bee in my bonnet.

890
01:23:02,000 --> 01:23:02,708
Bee in your bonnet.

891
01:23:02,708 --> 01:23:03,458
I'm like, yeah, you have a

892
01:23:03,458 --> 01:23:04,541
bee in your bonnet right now.

893
01:23:05,333 --> 01:23:06,750
Yeah, it's just, you gotta get it done.

894
01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:07,833
You gotta get it done,

895
01:23:07,833 --> 01:23:09,125
but I think that's also

896
01:23:09,125 --> 01:23:11,583
a true partnership that you and I have,

897
01:23:12,250 --> 01:23:15,000
is that you do check each other

898
01:23:15,125 --> 01:23:16,458
when you get a little too

899
01:23:16,458 --> 01:23:18,625
focused outside of the family.

900
01:23:18,625 --> 01:23:21,208
And it's like, hey, you gotta come back.

901
01:23:21,208 --> 01:23:21,458
Yeah.

902
01:23:21,750 --> 01:23:25,041
And it's just a good check and balance,

903
01:23:25,041 --> 01:23:26,083
good open communication.

904
01:23:27,041 --> 01:23:27,583
Because a lot of times you

905
01:23:27,583 --> 01:23:28,708
don't realize you're doing it

906
01:23:28,708 --> 01:23:30,416
and you certainly don't mean to do it.

907
01:23:30,458 --> 01:23:33,708
Yeah, I think switching

908
01:23:33,708 --> 01:23:35,458
gears a little bit on that point,

909
01:23:35,458 --> 01:23:37,083
and again, this is nothing we're gonna

910
01:23:37,083 --> 01:23:38,625
remotely go into today.

911
01:23:38,625 --> 01:23:40,000
Not that we had anything really prepared.

912
01:23:40,500 --> 01:23:40,916
This was one of the

913
01:23:40,916 --> 01:23:41,208
days where we were like,

914
01:23:41,208 --> 01:23:42,208
what are we gonna talk about?

915
01:23:42,458 --> 01:23:43,833
Clearly we actually had something.

916
01:23:43,875 --> 01:23:46,166
Let's sit down and talk, but, you know,

917
01:23:47,458 --> 01:23:48,583
being married, being

918
01:23:48,583 --> 01:23:50,333
together for 20 years,

919
01:23:50,333 --> 01:23:50,791
and there's people

920
01:23:50,791 --> 01:23:51,500
that have been together

921
01:23:51,500 --> 01:23:52,916
for 50 years listening to this,

922
01:23:52,916 --> 01:23:53,833
or people that have been

923
01:23:53,833 --> 01:23:55,791
together for one year, who knows?

924
01:23:55,916 --> 01:23:56,125
Yeah.

925
01:23:58,125 --> 01:24:01,125
Talking, openly talking with

926
01:24:01,125 --> 01:24:03,333
your spouse, your loved one,

927
01:24:03,583 --> 01:24:05,166
is just so key, and

928
01:24:05,166 --> 01:24:06,125
we're really good at that.

929
01:24:06,458 --> 01:24:07,291
But we talked about this

930
01:24:07,291 --> 01:24:08,500
weekend a little bit too is,

931
01:24:09,791 --> 01:24:10,958
you know, I don't know

932
01:24:10,958 --> 01:24:11,666
if you would rate that

933
01:24:11,666 --> 01:24:13,000
on a scale of one to 10 of like,

934
01:24:13,250 --> 01:24:15,583
you know, we are open about everything.

935
01:24:15,833 --> 01:24:17,125
There's not anything we

936
01:24:17,125 --> 01:24:18,125
don't know about each other.

937
01:24:18,500 --> 01:24:19,708
And that's very true of us.

938
01:24:19,708 --> 01:24:20,833
I mean, on most

939
01:24:20,833 --> 01:24:22,458
things that are, you know,

940
01:24:23,208 --> 01:24:24,750
not embarrassing or not

941
01:24:24,750 --> 01:24:26,458
super personal, you know?

942
01:24:26,958 --> 01:24:27,583
We're open with each

943
01:24:27,583 --> 01:24:28,375
other on those things.

944
01:24:28,708 --> 01:24:30,166
But there is some level, I think,

945
01:24:30,166 --> 01:24:31,291
that's still even with

946
01:24:31,291 --> 01:24:33,625
us, as close as we are,

947
01:24:34,416 --> 01:24:35,083
you know, like we just

948
01:24:35,083 --> 01:24:37,375
don't go there sometimes.

949
01:24:37,666 --> 01:24:38,625
And, you know, whether

950
01:24:38,625 --> 01:24:41,750
that's A, B, or C, you know,

951
01:24:41,750 --> 01:24:42,791
if that's insecurities

952
01:24:42,791 --> 01:24:43,833
or just embarrassment

953
01:24:44,125 --> 01:24:45,500
or whatever it might be,

954
01:24:46,500 --> 01:24:47,708
to me that's interesting

955
01:24:47,708 --> 01:24:49,250
that as close as we are,

956
01:24:49,833 --> 01:24:51,875
there are still some of those just dark,

957
01:24:52,958 --> 01:24:53,958
and they're not secrets,

958
01:24:54,375 --> 01:24:55,166
but they're just those,

959
01:24:56,375 --> 01:24:57,541
you know, how would you explain that?

960
01:24:57,583 --> 01:24:58,083
I would say they're

961
01:24:58,083 --> 01:24:59,416
more like insecurities

962
01:24:59,416 --> 01:25:01,000
that you don't necessarily voice.

963
01:25:01,583 --> 01:25:01,791
Like--

964
01:25:02,750 --> 01:25:05,000
Yeah, those dark corners of your brain.

965
01:25:05,333 --> 01:25:06,750
Yeah, that it's like,

966
01:25:07,875 --> 01:25:09,166
I don't like sharing

967
01:25:09,166 --> 01:25:10,875
that at all, you know?

968
01:25:10,875 --> 01:25:12,625
Like as raw as I can

969
01:25:12,625 --> 01:25:13,791
be, like there's just,

970
01:25:15,166 --> 01:25:16,208
it's just an insecurity.

971
01:25:16,500 --> 01:25:18,833
And what's probably ironic is that

972
01:25:19,333 --> 01:25:20,500
we know it about each other.

973
01:25:20,916 --> 01:25:23,166
Like you probably know it about me,

974
01:25:23,166 --> 01:25:24,666
she's super insecure about that,

975
01:25:24,666 --> 01:25:25,375
and she just doesn't

976
01:25:25,375 --> 01:25:26,375
talk about it, you know?

977
01:25:27,625 --> 01:25:27,833
Yeah.

978
01:25:28,375 --> 01:25:29,541
Don't you think we should though?

979
01:25:31,208 --> 01:25:33,125
Well, sometimes, it's not that we don't,

980
01:25:33,125 --> 01:25:34,416
and it's just sometimes it's,

981
01:25:35,041 --> 01:25:36,250
we don't share it all the time.

982
01:25:36,291 --> 01:25:37,458
I think that's a

983
01:25:37,458 --> 01:25:38,916
personality and a family thing.

984
01:25:38,916 --> 01:25:40,750
Oh, I think so, for sure.

985
01:25:41,291 --> 01:25:41,916
Just shook the whole

986
01:25:41,916 --> 01:25:43,166
table, I hit the microphone.

987
01:25:44,666 --> 01:25:45,416
I just gave everybody a

988
01:25:45,416 --> 01:25:46,458
little bit of motion sickness,

989
01:25:46,666 --> 01:25:47,375
they were sorry about that.

990
01:25:48,333 --> 01:25:51,166
(laughing) I talk with my hands too much.

991
01:25:52,000 --> 01:25:55,875
I'm a very handsy talker.

992
01:25:56,708 --> 01:25:58,041
A demonstrative talker.

993
01:25:58,041 --> 01:25:59,291
A demonstrative talker, yeah.

994
01:25:59,625 --> 01:26:00,791
Handsy can have a

995
01:26:00,791 --> 01:26:01,708
totally different meaning.

996
01:26:02,250 --> 01:26:04,083
That guy that's like, how are you?

997
01:26:04,625 --> 01:26:06,458
He has like the long touchdown, the arm.

998
01:26:07,833 --> 01:26:09,708
No, yeah, no, handsy has a

999
01:26:09,708 --> 01:26:11,000
very bad, you're not handsy.

1000
01:26:11,000 --> 01:26:11,541
Just for the record,

1001
01:26:11,541 --> 01:26:12,291
you're not supposed to go,

1002
01:26:12,291 --> 01:26:13,583
no, you're supposed to like hit him and

1003
01:26:13,583 --> 01:26:14,541
be like, get off me.

1004
01:26:15,708 --> 01:26:17,333
Tell those guys like that, those guys,

1005
01:26:17,333 --> 01:26:18,708
I can't stand creepy guys like that.

1006
01:26:19,125 --> 01:26:20,208
I haven't had a guy

1007
01:26:20,208 --> 01:26:23,166
like do that, I would, ugh.

1008
01:26:23,625 --> 01:26:23,833
Anyway.

1009
01:26:24,166 --> 01:26:24,666
What we were talking

1010
01:26:24,666 --> 01:26:26,000
about just, you know,

1011
01:26:26,625 --> 01:26:27,458
it's a family thing

1012
01:26:27,458 --> 01:26:28,500
and a personality thing.

1013
01:26:28,500 --> 01:26:29,916
I know it's a personality thing, I leave,

1014
01:26:30,125 --> 01:26:32,750
I wear my emotions on my sleeve and I,

1015
01:26:33,125 --> 01:26:34,666
it helps me to talk about

1016
01:26:34,666 --> 01:26:35,541
some of those tough things.

1017
01:26:36,041 --> 01:26:37,000
And you're opposite, you

1018
01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:39,166
don't wanna expose that,

1019
01:26:39,166 --> 01:26:40,250
you don't wanna talk about that.

1020
01:26:40,250 --> 01:26:41,666
I wanna solve it in my own head,

1021
01:26:42,333 --> 01:26:43,125
as opposed to getting it

1022
01:26:43,125 --> 01:26:44,166
out and talking about it.

1023
01:26:44,916 --> 01:26:46,500
It's, I don't know why

1024
01:26:46,500 --> 01:26:48,791
I've always been that way,

1025
01:26:48,833 --> 01:26:50,750
so whether it was a learned thing,

1026
01:26:50,750 --> 01:26:52,583
whether it was just who I

1027
01:26:52,583 --> 01:26:54,666
am as a person, you know?

1028
01:26:56,083 --> 01:26:58,000
In tough moments, I tend to

1029
01:26:58,000 --> 01:27:01,416
go inward to solve a problem

1030
01:27:01,416 --> 01:27:03,500
or to ruminate on it,

1031
01:27:03,500 --> 01:27:04,875
whereas you tend to go outward.

1032
01:27:05,458 --> 01:27:06,041
Yeah, well, I mean, I

1033
01:27:06,041 --> 01:27:07,708
know like, there's families,

1034
01:27:07,958 --> 01:27:09,250
your family is a little bit like that,

1035
01:27:09,541 --> 01:27:10,625
one side of my family is

1036
01:27:10,625 --> 01:27:11,250
a little bit like that,

1037
01:27:11,250 --> 01:27:11,708
it's like, hey,

1038
01:27:11,708 --> 01:27:12,708
everything's always perfect.

1039
01:27:13,208 --> 01:27:14,500
We don't talk about if

1040
01:27:14,500 --> 01:27:15,750
it's not perfect, like,

1041
01:27:16,166 --> 01:27:16,791
you know what I mean?

1042
01:27:18,000 --> 01:27:19,916
I'm not saying that from a perspective

1043
01:27:19,916 --> 01:27:20,875
that people are fake

1044
01:27:20,875 --> 01:27:22,000
or that they're not real

1045
01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:23,000
and they can't be real,

1046
01:27:23,458 --> 01:27:25,708
but it's just the way the family dynamics

1047
01:27:25,708 --> 01:27:27,250
have evolved over time, that it's like,

1048
01:27:27,250 --> 01:27:28,291
let's just, let's not

1049
01:27:28,291 --> 01:27:29,125
talk about the things

1050
01:27:29,125 --> 01:27:30,708
that are not perfect.

1051
01:27:31,000 --> 01:27:31,375
Yeah, yeah.

1052
01:27:31,791 --> 01:27:34,625
You know, and that, as you know, for me,

1053
01:27:36,666 --> 01:27:38,500
I wasn't brought up in a

1054
01:27:38,500 --> 01:27:39,750
family, I don't know how.

1055
01:27:40,541 --> 01:27:41,333
I think yours is just

1056
01:27:41,333 --> 01:27:42,708
more of a personality thing.

1057
01:27:42,708 --> 01:27:44,000
Is mine a personality thing?

1058
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:44,458
Oh, 100%.

1059
01:27:45,041 --> 01:27:46,375
Where it's like, I wanna talk about it.

1060
01:27:46,875 --> 01:27:49,500
I'd rather rip the band-aid

1061
01:27:49,500 --> 01:27:50,833
off and just get it out there,

1062
01:27:51,291 --> 01:27:52,666
because then I feel better about it,

1063
01:27:52,666 --> 01:27:53,958
but I guess it's hard

1064
01:27:53,958 --> 01:27:55,000
because I know it doesn't make

1065
01:27:55,000 --> 01:27:56,500
other people feel better all the time.

1066
01:27:56,500 --> 01:27:56,708
Right.

1067
01:27:57,000 --> 01:27:57,416
You know?

1068
01:27:57,833 --> 01:27:59,875
Yeah, yeah, and I don't

1069
01:27:59,875 --> 01:28:01,750
know that there's probably

1070
01:28:01,750 --> 01:28:02,625
a little bit of, there's

1071
01:28:02,625 --> 01:28:03,541
a healthy balance of both.

1072
01:28:03,875 --> 01:28:04,416
Yeah, because there's

1073
01:28:04,416 --> 01:28:05,708
times when I'll see you

1074
01:28:05,708 --> 01:28:06,875
struggling with something, I'm like,

1075
01:28:07,333 --> 01:28:08,041
man, I wish we could

1076
01:28:08,041 --> 01:28:09,125
just talk about that.

1077
01:28:09,791 --> 01:28:10,791
But I know that's not

1078
01:28:10,791 --> 01:28:12,416
something she's open to.

1079
01:28:12,458 --> 01:28:13,416
Yeah, it's just like--

1080
01:28:13,416 --> 01:28:15,041
You know, just that little,

1081
01:28:15,708 --> 01:28:16,666
and that's why I just

1082
01:28:16,666 --> 01:28:17,333
bring it up for people

1083
01:28:17,333 --> 01:28:18,375
that are watching, it's

1084
01:28:18,375 --> 01:28:19,708
just interesting that even in,

1085
01:28:21,500 --> 01:28:22,333
I would say you and I have

1086
01:28:22,333 --> 01:28:23,625
a really good relationship,

1087
01:28:23,625 --> 01:28:24,208
but even in our

1088
01:28:24,208 --> 01:28:26,083
relationship, there's just those things

1089
01:28:26,083 --> 01:28:28,125
that are just hard, it's

1090
01:28:28,125 --> 01:28:29,458
the back of the brain things,

1091
01:28:29,458 --> 01:28:30,333
those things that touch

1092
01:28:30,333 --> 01:28:33,333
too close to self-worth.

1093
01:28:33,416 --> 01:28:35,166
Yeah, for sure.

1094
01:28:35,916 --> 01:28:39,458
I think for me, it's a

1095
01:28:39,458 --> 01:28:40,875
lot about timing too.

1096
01:28:41,916 --> 01:28:43,916
Like, I usually do tell

1097
01:28:43,916 --> 01:28:46,416
you, and it's not that I hide,

1098
01:28:46,666 --> 01:28:47,833
I don't actually hide

1099
01:28:47,833 --> 01:28:49,166
anything, if you were to ask me,

1100
01:28:49,166 --> 01:28:50,291
what's really bothering you?

1101
01:28:50,291 --> 01:28:50,958
You know, I would tell

1102
01:28:50,958 --> 01:28:52,583
you, and it's just like,

1103
01:28:52,583 --> 01:28:53,250
if it's something

1104
01:28:53,250 --> 01:28:55,000
that I'm struggling with,

1105
01:28:55,458 --> 01:28:56,375
I'm insecure about

1106
01:28:56,375 --> 01:28:57,958
something, a lot of times,

1107
01:28:57,958 --> 01:28:58,916
I need to work it

1108
01:28:58,916 --> 01:29:00,625
through in my own brain enough

1109
01:29:00,958 --> 01:29:02,208
to then be able to share it.

1110
01:29:03,291 --> 01:29:04,083
I think that's true.

1111
01:29:04,583 --> 01:29:05,541
I think that's true.

1112
01:29:06,708 --> 01:29:07,458
Just, yeah.

1113
01:29:09,791 --> 01:29:10,958
I've kinda always been that way.

1114
01:29:11,416 --> 01:29:12,458
Yeah, that's probably

1115
01:29:12,458 --> 01:29:13,333
true of everybody too.

1116
01:29:13,333 --> 01:29:14,958
There's times when I'm like, not ready,

1117
01:29:15,250 --> 01:29:17,125
like I'm still way too raw.

1118
01:29:17,166 --> 01:29:18,541
This is still way too raw,

1119
01:29:18,791 --> 01:29:20,916
like give it a half minute.

1120
01:29:21,250 --> 01:29:21,916
I've been getting better

1121
01:29:21,916 --> 01:29:23,416
about telling people that too,

1122
01:29:23,416 --> 01:29:25,208
like, nope, nope, nope, it's not yet.

1123
01:29:25,500 --> 01:29:26,250
Yeah, yeah.

1124
01:29:27,166 --> 01:29:28,666
You know, so, I don't know,

1125
01:29:28,666 --> 01:29:30,000
humans are just interesting.

1126
01:29:30,583 --> 01:29:31,583
We were talking about,

1127
01:29:31,583 --> 01:29:33,500
you've got a minor in psychology.

1128
01:29:35,416 --> 01:29:37,000
My undergrad is in psychology.

1129
01:29:38,500 --> 01:29:40,125
Which is why I went back for my MBA.

1130
01:29:41,083 --> 01:29:43,375
But, you know, I think

1131
01:29:43,375 --> 01:29:45,333
not that we're psychologists

1132
01:29:45,333 --> 01:29:47,333
or psychiatrists, but

1133
01:29:47,333 --> 01:29:49,916
it's fascinating humans

1134
01:29:50,625 --> 01:29:51,750
and then the way that they,

1135
01:29:53,208 --> 01:29:54,708
it's just the way that people are.

1136
01:29:55,000 --> 01:29:55,458
You know what I mean?

1137
01:29:55,458 --> 01:29:56,458
It is fascinating to

1138
01:29:56,458 --> 01:29:58,625
see how different people

1139
01:29:58,833 --> 01:30:01,250
react to different situations, you know,

1140
01:30:01,250 --> 01:30:04,250
all these different, you know.

1141
01:30:05,458 --> 01:30:06,500
I think what I'm trying

1142
01:30:06,500 --> 01:30:07,541
to get at is that just,

1143
01:30:07,583 --> 01:30:08,833
it gives us this extra

1144
01:30:08,833 --> 01:30:12,500
lens through which we look

1145
01:30:12,500 --> 01:30:14,166
at our lives, through which we look at

1146
01:30:14,166 --> 01:30:15,625
our children's lives.

1147
01:30:15,625 --> 01:30:16,791
You know, from this

1148
01:30:16,791 --> 01:30:19,166
psychology kind of perspective

1149
01:30:19,333 --> 01:30:21,083
that we had a little bit of schooling in.

1150
01:30:21,833 --> 01:30:24,666
And it's just, I don't know, I find it,

1151
01:30:25,291 --> 01:30:26,041
just because I've grown

1152
01:30:26,041 --> 01:30:27,666
up in tough situations,

1153
01:30:27,666 --> 01:30:29,125
I've dealt with my own situations.

1154
01:30:29,500 --> 01:30:30,250
I've been depressed

1155
01:30:30,250 --> 01:30:31,333
before when I was younger.

1156
01:30:32,375 --> 01:30:35,541
I think people are frail.

1157
01:30:36,291 --> 01:30:36,750
Oh yeah.

1158
01:30:37,416 --> 01:30:38,541
And we all pretend to

1159
01:30:38,541 --> 01:30:39,750
be strong, not pretend,

1160
01:30:40,291 --> 01:30:41,208
like we talked about.

1161
01:30:41,500 --> 01:30:43,250
No, I think we do pretend to be strong.

1162
01:30:43,250 --> 01:30:43,541
Heaven flows.

1163
01:30:43,916 --> 01:30:44,125
Right?

1164
01:30:44,416 --> 01:30:45,583
I think it's a bit of

1165
01:30:45,583 --> 01:30:46,958
that fake it till you make it

1166
01:30:46,958 --> 01:30:47,416
sometimes.

1167
01:30:47,833 --> 01:30:48,041
Yeah.

1168
01:30:48,541 --> 01:30:50,500
In some of the hardest moments, right?

1169
01:30:51,083 --> 01:30:55,583
Like, I think there is some degree of,

1170
01:30:57,000 --> 01:30:59,000
I have to at least pretend to be strong.

1171
01:30:59,291 --> 01:31:00,791
It's like that Taylor Swift song.

1172
01:31:01,541 --> 01:31:02,083
Which one?

1173
01:31:03,625 --> 01:31:04,708
It's like all of them, honey.

1174
01:31:05,666 --> 01:31:08,250
(laughing) I love me some Tay Tay.

1175
01:31:08,250 --> 01:31:08,916
There is one in

1176
01:31:08,916 --> 01:31:10,166
particular, I've heard the,

1177
01:31:11,000 --> 01:31:12,208
some of her songs are better than I

1178
01:31:12,208 --> 01:31:12,833
thought they would be.

1179
01:31:12,833 --> 01:31:14,041
Actually, she's not bad.

1180
01:31:14,041 --> 01:31:15,750
Oh my gosh, she's totally grown on me.

1181
01:31:15,791 --> 01:31:17,208
Yeah, she's grown on me a little bit too.

1182
01:31:17,208 --> 01:31:18,666
But there's the one where she's like,

1183
01:31:20,458 --> 01:31:21,625
she's crying or something like that,

1184
01:31:21,625 --> 01:31:23,416
and she goes out and she does a concert.

1185
01:31:24,041 --> 01:31:24,666
But it's like fake it

1186
01:31:24,666 --> 01:31:25,791
till you make it basically.

1187
01:31:27,208 --> 01:31:28,041
I can't remember the name of it.

1188
01:31:28,083 --> 01:31:29,416
Anyways, it fits what

1189
01:31:29,416 --> 01:31:30,500
we're talking about right now

1190
01:31:30,500 --> 01:31:31,125
and what you're saying.

1191
01:31:31,375 --> 01:31:32,083
Yeah, yeah.

1192
01:31:32,500 --> 01:31:34,666
I think there's something to that.

1193
01:31:34,750 --> 01:31:36,000
Tay Tay's got it all down.

1194
01:31:36,958 --> 01:31:38,625
But it's those people, yeah,

1195
01:31:38,625 --> 01:31:39,750
Tay Tay's got it all put together.

1196
01:31:39,791 --> 01:31:40,416
She really does.

1197
01:31:40,625 --> 01:31:41,416
Yeah, until her and

1198
01:31:41,416 --> 01:31:43,166
Kelsey find it, you know.

1199
01:31:43,583 --> 01:31:44,250
Hopefully it's just a

1200
01:31:44,250 --> 01:31:45,250
happy ending with those two.

1201
01:31:45,291 --> 01:31:46,541
I really, you know what?

1202
01:31:47,083 --> 01:31:48,375
Everyone deserves a happy ending.

1203
01:31:48,791 --> 01:31:49,041
That's right.

1204
01:31:49,083 --> 01:31:50,041
Yes, yes.

1205
01:31:51,291 --> 01:31:52,708
But maybe to sum this whole thing up,

1206
01:31:52,708 --> 01:31:57,208
we got less deep topics here,

1207
01:31:57,208 --> 01:31:59,208
but when you find yourself

1208
01:31:59,208 --> 01:32:00,708
opening up to people about that,

1209
01:32:01,375 --> 01:32:03,083
that's what brings you close, right?

1210
01:32:03,416 --> 01:32:04,500
And that's why we

1211
01:32:04,500 --> 01:32:05,250
were able to get so close

1212
01:32:05,250 --> 01:32:05,958
because we have opened

1213
01:32:05,958 --> 01:32:07,041
up so much, you know.

1214
01:32:07,041 --> 01:32:07,500
That's why you're so

1215
01:32:07,500 --> 01:32:08,083
close with your children

1216
01:32:08,083 --> 01:32:09,166
because you've shared

1217
01:32:09,166 --> 01:32:11,041
everything with them from an age.

1218
01:32:12,000 --> 01:32:13,291
And your friends are like

1219
01:32:13,291 --> 01:32:14,666
that too, you know what I mean?

1220
01:32:14,666 --> 01:32:15,875
And best friends are like that

1221
01:32:15,875 --> 01:32:17,041
where you've just shared so much

1222
01:32:17,041 --> 01:32:18,541
and they know so much about you.

1223
01:32:19,291 --> 01:32:22,333
Those relationships are so great to have.

1224
01:32:22,958 --> 01:32:24,625
And they're hard to come by.

1225
01:32:25,166 --> 01:32:25,375
Yeah.

1226
01:32:25,958 --> 01:32:27,833
I think it was Robin Williams that said,

1227
01:32:28,291 --> 01:32:28,916
and you may have quoted

1228
01:32:28,916 --> 01:32:29,791
this on Morning Serial,

1229
01:32:30,083 --> 01:32:31,500
but it's, "Every person

1230
01:32:31,500 --> 01:32:32,500
you meet is fighting a battle

1231
01:32:32,583 --> 01:32:33,583
that you know nothing about."

1232
01:32:33,916 --> 01:32:34,125
Yeah.

1233
01:32:34,166 --> 01:32:35,250
So treat them with kindness.

1234
01:32:35,500 --> 01:32:36,291
It's one of my favorite

1235
01:32:36,291 --> 01:32:37,375
quotes out of Morning Serial,

1236
01:32:37,375 --> 01:32:38,125
out of all of them.

1237
01:32:38,166 --> 01:32:39,458
It really is because

1238
01:32:39,458 --> 01:32:42,000
everybody has baggage.

1239
01:32:42,000 --> 01:32:44,958
Everybody has dark corners of their mind,

1240
01:32:44,958 --> 01:32:47,958
whether they share them really openly,

1241
01:32:47,958 --> 01:32:49,208
whether they share them with a small,

1242
01:32:49,291 --> 01:32:50,250
select group of people,

1243
01:32:50,250 --> 01:32:52,458
or whether they choose to hold that close

1244
01:32:52,458 --> 01:32:53,791
and only share it when they're ready.

1245
01:32:54,000 --> 01:32:54,208
Yeah.

1246
01:32:54,916 --> 01:32:56,083
Everybody has it and

1247
01:32:56,083 --> 01:32:57,416
everyone's carrying something.

1248
01:32:57,416 --> 01:32:58,291
Because at nine out of

1249
01:32:58,291 --> 01:32:59,541
10, you're gonna go through,

1250
01:32:59,541 --> 01:33:00,583
if you go down the line

1251
01:33:00,583 --> 01:33:01,500
of people on the sidelines

1252
01:33:01,875 --> 01:33:03,083
or your friends at a party,

1253
01:33:03,708 --> 01:33:06,750
and you could snap your fingers

1254
01:33:06,750 --> 01:33:08,291
and they had to be real with you.

1255
01:33:08,333 --> 01:33:08,541
Yeah.

1256
01:33:08,791 --> 01:33:10,666
Like, how are things going in your life?

1257
01:33:10,666 --> 01:33:13,833
What's, is anything causing you trouble?

1258
01:33:14,250 --> 01:33:15,708
Or is anything causing you pain?

1259
01:33:16,291 --> 01:33:17,500
Nine out of 10 of them would be like,

1260
01:33:17,791 --> 01:33:19,708
"Oh my God, I am struggling with this."

1261
01:33:19,750 --> 01:33:21,500
Or, "This is killing us right now."

1262
01:33:21,500 --> 01:33:21,708
Yeah.

1263
01:33:21,958 --> 01:33:23,250
But we all go to the sideline

1264
01:33:23,250 --> 01:33:24,125
and we pretend everything's

1265
01:33:24,125 --> 01:33:25,375
great and everything's good.

1266
01:33:26,416 --> 01:33:29,041
That's the way humans have evolved.

1267
01:33:29,250 --> 01:33:30,208
Hey, it is--

1268
01:33:30,208 --> 01:33:30,750
Sappy stuff.

1269
01:33:31,291 --> 01:33:32,500
But it's all life, right?

1270
01:33:33,500 --> 01:33:34,500
It's part of the struggles

1271
01:33:34,500 --> 01:33:36,291
because then how do you show up

1272
01:33:36,291 --> 01:33:38,250
in the midst of that really tough thing?

1273
01:33:38,875 --> 01:33:41,333
Still be a great parent, a great spouse,

1274
01:33:42,125 --> 01:33:45,041
a great, if you work, a great worker.

1275
01:33:46,458 --> 01:33:50,291
And sometimes that gets to be a lot.

1276
01:33:50,875 --> 01:33:51,166
Yeah.

1277
01:33:51,333 --> 01:33:52,583
To then carry it and you're like,

1278
01:33:52,583 --> 01:33:54,875
"Plus I have this whole other monster

1279
01:33:54,875 --> 01:33:55,958
that I'm dealing with."

1280
01:33:56,041 --> 01:33:57,500
Yeah, you gotta get it out.

1281
01:33:57,500 --> 01:34:00,791
We tell our kids that even good emotions

1282
01:34:01,000 --> 01:34:02,458
and bad emotions, if you

1283
01:34:02,458 --> 01:34:03,958
don't let your emotions out,

1284
01:34:04,333 --> 01:34:06,333
they can start to poison you, whether

1285
01:34:06,333 --> 01:34:06,916
they're good or bad.

1286
01:34:06,916 --> 01:34:08,583
It's like, I remember when I was,

1287
01:34:08,583 --> 01:34:10,166
I told my oldest this all the time,

1288
01:34:10,166 --> 01:34:11,166
I remember being younger

1289
01:34:11,166 --> 01:34:13,375
when I was still living

1290
01:34:13,375 --> 01:34:14,208
in my parents' house

1291
01:34:14,208 --> 01:34:16,000
and I didn't wanna smile.

1292
01:34:16,291 --> 01:34:20,083
I didn't want people to share or to know

1293
01:34:20,791 --> 01:34:22,166
that I had a happy

1294
01:34:22,166 --> 01:34:23,375
emotion at some point in time,

1295
01:34:23,375 --> 01:34:24,458
like riding a roller coaster.

1296
01:34:25,041 --> 01:34:26,000
Because so much at that

1297
01:34:26,000 --> 01:34:27,041
point in time was so dark.

1298
01:34:27,666 --> 01:34:28,708
I almost didn't want people to know

1299
01:34:28,708 --> 01:34:29,500
that I could have a

1300
01:34:29,500 --> 01:34:30,791
moment that wasn't heavy.

1301
01:34:31,041 --> 01:34:32,000
Right, right.

1302
01:34:32,750 --> 01:34:33,625
And that probably

1303
01:34:33,625 --> 01:34:34,916
poisoned me a little bit,

1304
01:34:34,916 --> 01:34:36,250
not letting those

1305
01:34:36,250 --> 01:34:38,041
emotions out, good or bad.

1306
01:34:38,625 --> 01:34:39,625
I let plenty of bad ones

1307
01:34:39,625 --> 01:34:40,833
out probably, which is good.

1308
01:34:41,750 --> 01:34:45,625
But anywho, my last point to that is,

1309
01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:46,583
it's what makes us

1310
01:34:46,583 --> 01:34:47,708
all human and it's fun.

1311
01:34:48,166 --> 01:34:49,708
Because we went to that movie last night,

1312
01:34:49,708 --> 01:34:51,625
we saw "MI 7 689."

1313
01:34:52,166 --> 01:34:52,875
Final Reckoning?

1314
01:34:52,875 --> 01:34:53,333
Final Reckoning.

1315
01:34:54,166 --> 01:34:55,083
I'm gonna go with that one,

1316
01:34:55,083 --> 01:34:55,666
because I don't even know.

1317
01:34:55,708 --> 01:34:56,333
Final Reckoning.

1318
01:34:56,541 --> 01:34:57,375
And I'm sitting there

1319
01:34:57,375 --> 01:34:58,291
watching the end of it

1320
01:34:58,291 --> 01:34:59,000
and I'm like trying,

1321
01:34:59,375 --> 01:35:00,666
because our kids make fun of us

1322
01:35:00,958 --> 01:35:02,625
when we cry in some of these movies.

1323
01:35:02,833 --> 01:35:04,083
That are emotional, they just pull

1324
01:35:04,083 --> 01:35:05,125
emotions out of you.

1325
01:35:05,166 --> 01:35:06,833
Which is why you watch movies.

1326
01:35:07,041 --> 01:35:07,875
Yeah, human emotions.

1327
01:35:07,875 --> 01:35:09,250
I love that movies can do

1328
01:35:09,250 --> 01:35:10,333
that, the good ones can do that.

1329
01:35:10,333 --> 01:35:10,791
So I'm sitting there

1330
01:35:10,791 --> 01:35:13,666
trying to like, not cry.

1331
01:35:14,583 --> 01:35:16,000
I got made fun of because I cry

1332
01:35:16,000 --> 01:35:17,125
and you hit it better than I did.

1333
01:35:17,125 --> 01:35:18,958
The girl next to me is sobbing.

1334
01:35:20,458 --> 01:35:21,291
Who's not with our

1335
01:35:21,291 --> 01:35:22,166
family, with her family.

1336
01:35:22,208 --> 01:35:23,291
She's sobbing.

1337
01:35:24,000 --> 01:35:25,791
I love that because

1338
01:35:25,791 --> 01:35:26,833
that's what makes us all human.

1339
01:35:27,666 --> 01:35:28,500
But we don't wanna

1340
01:35:28,500 --> 01:35:29,375
look at the other person

1341
01:35:29,375 --> 01:35:29,875
because it's like, oh

1342
01:35:29,875 --> 01:35:30,875
my God, I'm so weak.

1343
01:35:31,875 --> 01:35:33,000
And in the end, we're not

1344
01:35:33,000 --> 01:35:34,958
weak, we're all, we're all,

1345
01:35:35,250 --> 01:35:35,791
just human.

1346
01:35:36,583 --> 01:35:37,125
All human.

1347
01:35:38,375 --> 01:35:39,500
And just doing the best

1348
01:35:39,500 --> 01:35:41,125
we can with what we've got.

1349
01:35:41,416 --> 01:35:42,458
That's right, that's right.

1350
01:35:42,708 --> 01:35:44,166
My grandma used to always say that,

1351
01:35:44,166 --> 01:35:46,416
she's like, everyone's just doing the

1352
01:35:46,416 --> 01:35:47,375
best they can, honey.

1353
01:35:48,750 --> 01:35:50,041
Wise words from a wise woman.

1354
01:35:50,583 --> 01:35:51,125
She didn't call me honey,

1355
01:35:51,125 --> 01:35:52,125
she called me dear, but yeah.

1356
01:35:52,583 --> 01:35:52,791
Dear.

1357
01:35:54,375 --> 01:35:54,958
If you know, you know.

1358
01:35:55,291 --> 01:35:57,083
If you know, you know on that one.

1359
01:35:57,291 --> 01:35:58,833
Yeah, so.

1360
01:35:59,416 --> 01:36:01,125
Well, that was a long tangent there for,

1361
01:36:01,416 --> 01:36:02,458
that was almost the whole show.

1362
01:36:03,083 --> 01:36:04,208
Wow. Yeah.

1363
01:36:04,625 --> 01:36:05,083
Super deep.

1364
01:36:05,500 --> 01:36:07,000
That was a deep one, that's right.

1365
01:36:07,000 --> 01:36:07,791
Sometimes you just.

1366
01:36:07,833 --> 01:36:09,000
Yeah, deep thoughts.

1367
01:36:09,500 --> 01:36:10,125
And I don't have

1368
01:36:10,125 --> 01:36:11,625
anything I need to get out,

1369
01:36:11,625 --> 01:36:12,625
it's just kind of turned there.

1370
01:36:12,875 --> 01:36:13,083
Yeah.

1371
01:36:14,166 --> 01:36:15,750
No, I feel like we've got

1372
01:36:15,750 --> 01:36:16,791
a little more off script

1373
01:36:16,791 --> 01:36:17,875
on the last few.

1374
01:36:18,125 --> 01:36:19,833
I have no idea, but we've

1375
01:36:19,833 --> 01:36:21,041
been able to fill the whole time

1376
01:36:21,041 --> 01:36:23,208
without having a whole lot of scripted.

1377
01:36:24,000 --> 01:36:24,750
Yeah, yeah.

1378
01:36:25,458 --> 01:36:27,541
I mean, I don't know,

1379
01:36:27,541 --> 01:36:28,708
lighting it up a little bit.

1380
01:36:29,333 --> 01:36:30,791
The gravy train keeps

1381
01:36:30,791 --> 01:36:32,000
coming to our house.

1382
01:36:32,583 --> 01:36:33,750
I guess maybe it hasn't

1383
01:36:33,750 --> 01:36:34,750
the last couple of days,

1384
01:36:34,750 --> 01:36:35,666
but I mean, we are

1385
01:36:35,666 --> 01:36:37,125
still getting packages from,

1386
01:36:38,375 --> 01:36:39,500
quote unquote, Sam Smith.

1387
01:36:39,958 --> 01:36:40,208
That's right.

1388
01:36:41,000 --> 01:36:42,541
We told some people, we've told some

1389
01:36:42,541 --> 01:36:43,375
people on the podcast,

1390
01:36:43,375 --> 01:36:43,666
we've told some

1391
01:36:43,666 --> 01:36:44,666
people at the soccer game,

1392
01:36:44,958 --> 01:36:45,708
we're actually getting people

1393
01:36:45,708 --> 01:36:46,500
that are raising their hands

1394
01:36:46,500 --> 01:36:47,708
for some of the items.

1395
01:36:48,041 --> 01:36:49,250
Which is fantastic.

1396
01:36:49,250 --> 01:36:49,458
Fantastic.

1397
01:36:50,083 --> 01:36:52,458
Happy to make

1398
01:36:52,458 --> 01:36:53,583
somebody else's life better.

1399
01:36:53,625 --> 01:36:54,125
Yes.

1400
01:36:54,166 --> 01:36:54,666
For something that

1401
01:36:54,666 --> 01:36:55,708
was just chance for us.

1402
01:36:56,083 --> 01:36:56,333
Yeah.

1403
01:36:56,541 --> 01:36:56,750
Yeah.

1404
01:36:57,041 --> 01:36:57,791
Cause it's not things

1405
01:36:57,791 --> 01:36:59,500
that were necessary.

1406
01:36:59,541 --> 01:37:00,500
We don't need it, yeah.

1407
01:37:00,500 --> 01:37:01,833
I'm happy to give it to someone else.

1408
01:37:01,833 --> 01:37:03,916
Even if I do need it, I didn't.

1409
01:37:04,041 --> 01:37:07,083
We didn't buy this or we didn't order it.

1410
01:37:07,083 --> 01:37:09,708
We weren't intending on any of this.

1411
01:37:10,041 --> 01:37:12,125
So if it makes someone's life better.

1412
01:37:12,125 --> 01:37:13,000
But it has been like two

1413
01:37:13,000 --> 01:37:14,125
days since we've got one.

1414
01:37:14,166 --> 01:37:14,625
I know.

1415
01:37:15,125 --> 01:37:16,000
I think the gravy

1416
01:37:16,000 --> 01:37:17,666
chain's gone off the track.

1417
01:37:18,000 --> 01:37:20,166
I know, after that second steering wheel.

1418
01:37:21,000 --> 01:37:22,625
That second steering wheel, yep.

1419
01:37:23,041 --> 01:37:23,250
Yeah.

1420
01:37:24,166 --> 01:37:26,083
It was fun while it

1421
01:37:26,083 --> 01:37:27,041
lasted though, wasn't it?

1422
01:37:27,541 --> 01:37:28,833
You actually asked today.

1423
01:37:29,125 --> 01:37:29,958
I know, I did.

1424
01:37:29,958 --> 01:37:30,958
You were excited to

1425
01:37:30,958 --> 01:37:31,916
see, well, what's in it?

1426
01:37:32,000 --> 01:37:32,541
What's in it?

1427
01:37:32,833 --> 01:37:34,000
Not because I know

1428
01:37:34,000 --> 01:37:35,125
it's anything that we want

1429
01:37:35,250 --> 01:37:37,166
or certainly need.

1430
01:37:37,750 --> 01:37:39,666
Because of the

1431
01:37:39,666 --> 01:37:42,500
randomness of the purchases.

1432
01:37:44,041 --> 01:37:46,250
I do wonder though, I

1433
01:37:46,250 --> 01:37:47,250
took kind of a step back

1434
01:37:47,291 --> 01:37:47,875
and I was like, I

1435
01:37:47,875 --> 01:37:48,791
wonder if someone looked

1436
01:37:48,791 --> 01:37:50,000
at our Amazon purchases.

1437
01:37:50,250 --> 01:37:50,791
Like if they were all

1438
01:37:50,791 --> 01:37:52,000
going to someone else's house,

1439
01:37:52,000 --> 01:37:54,250
like what they would say about us.

1440
01:37:55,500 --> 01:37:56,958
Oh, that's a really good thought, yeah.

1441
01:37:57,250 --> 01:38:00,375
Because I'm really curious.

1442
01:38:00,708 --> 01:38:02,500
Because this person's

1443
01:38:02,500 --> 01:38:04,166
Amazon packages or purchases

1444
01:38:04,791 --> 01:38:05,500
really leave me

1445
01:38:05,500 --> 01:38:10,208
scratching my head about his life.

1446
01:38:10,750 --> 01:38:11,500
Well, I think they

1447
01:38:11,500 --> 01:38:12,541
know we have a doc sound

1448
01:38:12,541 --> 01:38:13,625
because we order a lot of

1449
01:38:13,625 --> 01:38:14,791
stuff with that little dog.

1450
01:38:14,833 --> 01:38:15,250
We do.

1451
01:38:16,500 --> 01:38:18,250
We order toilet paper, so we're humans.

1452
01:38:18,708 --> 01:38:19,291
Yeah, yeah.

1453
01:38:19,875 --> 01:38:20,625
And we order--

1454
01:38:22,000 --> 01:38:22,208
Paper towels.

1455
01:38:22,750 --> 01:38:24,875
Paper towels, so we're messy humans.

1456
01:38:24,916 --> 01:38:25,666
We're messy humans.

1457
01:38:26,541 --> 01:38:28,750
Some of the main ones that we do.

1458
01:38:29,250 --> 01:38:30,458
Yeah, those are the ones that come on

1459
01:38:30,458 --> 01:38:31,375
in consistent basis.

1460
01:38:32,625 --> 01:38:33,708
I think the only thing I

1461
01:38:33,708 --> 01:38:34,958
buy on there is the dog stuff.

1462
01:38:35,666 --> 01:38:37,500
Yeah, I don't buy much on it anymore.

1463
01:38:37,875 --> 01:38:38,750
Yeah, occasionally.

1464
01:38:39,208 --> 01:38:39,458
I just go back.

1465
01:38:40,666 --> 01:38:42,916
Oh, oh, socks for our

1466
01:38:42,916 --> 01:38:44,625
children, our boys in particular.

1467
01:38:45,375 --> 01:38:46,500
One boy in particular.

1468
01:38:46,750 --> 01:38:47,916
One boy in particular.

1469
01:38:47,916 --> 01:38:48,875
He just goes through socks,

1470
01:38:49,833 --> 01:38:51,375
wears holes in them left and right.

1471
01:38:51,375 --> 01:38:51,875
It's because he doesn't

1472
01:38:51,875 --> 01:38:53,125
wear shoes with them outside.

1473
01:38:53,416 --> 01:38:53,583
Right.

1474
01:38:54,208 --> 01:38:57,916
He also wears socks all the time.

1475
01:38:58,541 --> 01:39:00,041
Yeah, so that's what it says about us.

1476
01:39:00,083 --> 01:39:00,500
Yeah.

1477
01:39:00,500 --> 01:39:02,166
That we're a regular all-American family.

1478
01:39:02,541 --> 01:39:04,166
Yeah, who really likes socks?

1479
01:39:04,583 --> 01:39:05,916
The dog and 2.5 kids.

1480
01:39:06,208 --> 01:39:06,416
Yep.

1481
01:39:06,958 --> 01:39:07,958
Yep, that's what we are.

1482
01:39:08,291 --> 01:39:11,375
It's what, are you, well, we have three,

1483
01:39:11,625 --> 01:39:12,541
but we probably shouldn't

1484
01:39:12,541 --> 01:39:13,625
say we have two and a half.

1485
01:39:13,625 --> 01:39:14,125
That's what we do.

1486
01:39:15,041 --> 01:39:15,500
Well, that's probably, I

1487
01:39:15,500 --> 01:39:16,333
was just doing the average.

1488
01:39:16,375 --> 01:39:16,708
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1489
01:39:16,708 --> 01:39:17,291
It's the average American.

1490
01:39:17,541 --> 01:39:17,916
Yeah.

1491
01:39:17,958 --> 01:39:19,375
Yeah, that's not me

1492
01:39:19,375 --> 01:39:20,291
putting down one of our children.

1493
01:39:21,166 --> 01:39:22,625
So which one is the half?

1494
01:39:22,625 --> 01:39:23,208
I think they know.

1495
01:39:26,791 --> 01:39:27,458
Depends on the day.

1496
01:39:28,500 --> 01:39:29,500
All right, well, we're getting closer

1497
01:39:29,500 --> 01:39:30,375
and closer to vacation,

1498
01:39:30,625 --> 01:39:32,208
so we're trying to get that figured out.

1499
01:39:32,291 --> 01:39:32,541
Yep.

1500
01:39:32,583 --> 01:39:34,666
We've got most of the time for the dog

1501
01:39:34,666 --> 01:39:35,416
sitting in the house,

1502
01:39:35,416 --> 01:39:36,333
sitting taken care of.

1503
01:39:36,416 --> 01:39:37,416
Yes, which is fantastic.

1504
01:39:37,833 --> 01:39:39,166
If you're in the area down here

1505
01:39:39,166 --> 01:39:40,083
and you know us fairly

1506
01:39:40,083 --> 01:39:41,083
well, raise your hand.

1507
01:39:41,083 --> 01:39:41,583
We have a couple of

1508
01:39:41,583 --> 01:39:42,291
days that we need someone

1509
01:39:42,291 --> 01:39:43,500
to come let the dogs hand out.

1510
01:39:43,500 --> 01:39:43,708
Yep.

1511
01:39:45,166 --> 01:39:46,708
Or if you know a really good dog sitter.

1512
01:39:46,750 --> 01:39:48,416
Or if you know a really good dog sitter.

1513
01:39:48,416 --> 01:39:50,291
Our dog sitter is getting married,

1514
01:39:50,291 --> 01:39:51,791
so congratulations to her.

1515
01:39:51,791 --> 01:39:53,958
We're super excited about that for her.

1516
01:39:54,625 --> 01:39:55,458
Which means my mom is

1517
01:39:55,458 --> 01:39:56,125
actually taking over

1518
01:39:56,125 --> 01:39:57,166
a little bit with the dog sitting.

1519
01:39:57,166 --> 01:39:57,916
She's happy to house

1520
01:39:57,916 --> 01:39:58,916
it, but the dog sits,

1521
01:39:58,916 --> 01:39:59,791
a thing for her.

1522
01:40:00,208 --> 01:40:01,500
My mom is not a dog lover.

1523
01:40:01,500 --> 01:40:02,416
She's not, no.

1524
01:40:02,500 --> 01:40:04,333
And to be fair, neither am I.

1525
01:40:04,333 --> 01:40:04,541
No.

1526
01:40:05,166 --> 01:40:07,000
I barely even like our dog.

1527
01:40:07,000 --> 01:40:07,250
Yeah.

1528
01:40:07,875 --> 01:40:10,291
But I do want her to be taken care of.

1529
01:40:10,333 --> 01:40:10,625
Yeah.

1530
01:40:10,666 --> 01:40:12,000
The dog, my mom too.

1531
01:40:12,500 --> 01:40:13,541
Well, absolutely.

1532
01:40:15,500 --> 01:40:16,916
But she has to work, so

1533
01:40:16,916 --> 01:40:17,833
there's a couple days in there

1534
01:40:17,833 --> 01:40:19,041
that she needs to be relieved.

1535
01:40:19,583 --> 01:40:19,791
Yeah.

1536
01:40:20,416 --> 01:40:21,333
As will the dog.

1537
01:40:22,166 --> 01:40:24,333
For that reason, specifically.

1538
01:40:25,375 --> 01:40:26,500
Yeah, and fed I suppose too.

1539
01:40:26,750 --> 01:40:27,625
And fed, yeah.

1540
01:40:27,625 --> 01:40:28,125
Oh, she'll let you

1541
01:40:28,125 --> 01:40:29,000
know if she needs food.

1542
01:40:29,291 --> 01:40:29,583
Yeah.

1543
01:40:30,041 --> 01:40:31,333
But she is a sweet puppy.

1544
01:40:32,833 --> 01:40:33,500
That's the fun part.

1545
01:40:33,500 --> 01:40:33,708
You know you're

1546
01:40:33,708 --> 01:40:34,500
getting close to vacation,

1547
01:40:34,500 --> 01:40:35,583
you're like, here's

1548
01:40:35,583 --> 01:40:36,375
the things we gotta get

1549
01:40:36,375 --> 01:40:37,625
to make sure we're ready to go.

1550
01:40:37,666 --> 01:40:37,875
Yeah.

1551
01:40:38,291 --> 01:40:39,333
We got all the passports and all that

1552
01:40:39,333 --> 01:40:39,958
kind of stuff ready.

1553
01:40:39,958 --> 01:40:40,250
Yeah.

1554
01:40:40,291 --> 01:40:41,500
But now we're talking about sunscreen,

1555
01:40:41,708 --> 01:40:42,791
we're talking about the fanny packs,

1556
01:40:42,833 --> 01:40:43,833
we're talking about how

1557
01:40:43,833 --> 01:40:45,583
to keep the passport safe

1558
01:40:45,750 --> 01:40:48,208
while we're out off the ship.

1559
01:40:48,458 --> 01:40:49,125
We're talking about underpants.

1560
01:40:50,791 --> 01:40:50,875
Huh?

1561
01:40:52,791 --> 01:40:53,000
(laughing)

1562
01:40:54,041 --> 01:40:56,208
Well, we're gone for a while,

1563
01:40:56,208 --> 01:40:57,458
and I was like, I don't think our boys

1564
01:40:57,458 --> 01:40:58,458
have enough underwear.

1565
01:40:59,291 --> 01:41:00,000
I know, yeah.

1566
01:41:00,500 --> 01:41:01,375
They need to go through it quickly.

1567
01:41:02,000 --> 01:41:02,291
Yeah.

1568
01:41:04,000 --> 01:41:04,833
The Amazon people will

1569
01:41:04,833 --> 01:41:06,000
know we need socks and undies.

1570
01:41:06,416 --> 01:41:06,625
Yes.

1571
01:41:07,791 --> 01:41:08,458
Because we are the

1572
01:41:08,458 --> 01:41:09,666
average American household.

1573
01:41:10,333 --> 01:41:11,500
So Sam Smith, if you're out there.

1574
01:41:11,916 --> 01:41:13,208
(laughing)

1575
01:41:13,916 --> 01:41:14,791
Mikey socks please.

1576
01:41:15,250 --> 01:41:17,250
We need vacation stuff now.

1577
01:41:17,541 --> 01:41:17,833
Yup.

1578
01:41:17,875 --> 01:41:18,708
Since I was doing Amazon.

1579
01:41:19,125 --> 01:41:19,833
So the bird feeder,

1580
01:41:19,833 --> 01:41:20,791
stop with the bird feeders

1581
01:41:20,791 --> 01:41:21,708
in the ear care.

1582
01:41:22,208 --> 01:41:23,666
Yes, bird feeders in ear care,

1583
01:41:23,666 --> 01:41:25,166
I think we are settled on.

1584
01:41:26,541 --> 01:41:28,500
If anybody wants bird

1585
01:41:28,500 --> 01:41:29,458
feeders in ear care,

1586
01:41:29,458 --> 01:41:30,166
well we actually have

1587
01:41:30,166 --> 01:41:30,375
the ear care solved.

1588
01:41:30,416 --> 01:41:32,833
Both of the ear care is spoken for.

1589
01:41:32,833 --> 01:41:33,625
It's spoken for.

1590
01:41:33,666 --> 01:41:33,916
Yeah.

1591
01:41:34,208 --> 01:41:35,416
We will be delivering that.

1592
01:41:35,625 --> 01:41:36,333
So I didn't realize that

1593
01:41:36,333 --> 01:41:37,250
was such a hot commodity,

1594
01:41:37,250 --> 01:41:37,958
but it is.

1595
01:41:37,958 --> 01:41:38,500
I didn't either.

1596
01:41:38,791 --> 01:41:40,125
A lot of hands were raised for those.

1597
01:41:40,750 --> 01:41:41,500
Not joking, I had

1598
01:41:41,500 --> 01:41:42,500
pictures of them on my phone,

1599
01:41:42,500 --> 01:41:44,000
and they're like, yes, that's a good one.

1600
01:41:44,000 --> 01:41:45,208
And I was like, it is yours.

1601
01:41:47,833 --> 01:41:48,458
That's so funny.

1602
01:41:49,250 --> 01:41:49,833
All right, well let's

1603
01:41:49,833 --> 01:41:50,916
sum up our last week

1604
01:41:52,583 --> 01:41:54,500
with our words of the week.

1605
01:41:54,875 --> 01:41:55,500
Words of the week.

1606
01:41:56,875 --> 01:41:58,500
Okay, so everybody think of your words.

1607
01:41:58,833 --> 01:42:00,458
We got our words for

1608
01:42:00,458 --> 01:42:01,750
sum up our last week.

1609
01:42:02,500 --> 01:42:02,833
Yes.

1610
01:42:02,833 --> 01:42:04,125
See if anybody gets the same one.

1611
01:42:04,125 --> 01:42:04,625
All right, here we go.

1612
01:42:05,291 --> 01:42:06,708
One, two, three.

1613
01:42:07,375 --> 01:42:07,916
Hot. Inertia.

1614
01:42:09,000 --> 01:42:09,166
Hot.

1615
01:42:11,291 --> 01:42:12,250
Nice, what kind of

1616
01:42:12,250 --> 01:42:14,000
spicy hot, temperature hot?

1617
01:42:14,000 --> 01:42:15,000
It was temperature hot.

1618
01:42:15,125 --> 01:42:17,041
Sexy hot, okay, temperature hot, it was.

1619
01:42:17,833 --> 01:42:18,541
Temperature hot.

1620
01:42:19,208 --> 01:42:20,500
I feel like that was pervasive.

1621
01:42:20,791 --> 01:42:22,291
Every time I went outside, I was like,

1622
01:42:22,833 --> 01:42:24,208
oh my gosh, are we ready for summer?

1623
01:42:24,208 --> 01:42:24,666
Because we had some

1624
01:42:24,666 --> 01:42:25,791
humidity down here too,

1625
01:42:25,791 --> 01:42:27,333
which I don't like humidity.

1626
01:42:28,416 --> 01:42:29,875
My word, yeah.

1627
01:42:31,291 --> 01:42:31,708
Good night.

1628
01:42:32,166 --> 01:42:32,875
Good night.

1629
01:42:33,791 --> 01:42:35,166
Yeah, it was hot.

1630
01:42:35,458 --> 01:42:35,625
Yeah.

1631
01:42:36,000 --> 01:42:36,958
It was hot, I don't know, that's the

1632
01:42:36,958 --> 01:42:37,625
beginning of summer.

1633
01:42:37,666 --> 01:42:38,458
Yeah, yeah.

1634
01:42:38,500 --> 01:42:39,416
Just the beginning too.

1635
01:42:39,750 --> 01:42:42,625
Yeah, I felt cooked after Saturday,

1636
01:42:42,625 --> 01:42:43,625
being outside all day.

1637
01:42:43,625 --> 01:42:44,250
Yeah, we didn't even

1638
01:42:44,250 --> 01:42:45,083
get into the track meet

1639
01:42:45,083 --> 01:42:46,416
and being out there all day long.

1640
01:42:46,625 --> 01:42:47,958
You were the only one at

1641
01:42:47,958 --> 01:42:50,000
the tent without a tent.

1642
01:42:50,041 --> 01:42:51,416
I was the tent without the tent, yeah.

1643
01:42:51,583 --> 01:42:52,208
Merchandise sales.

1644
01:42:52,541 --> 01:42:54,666
Yeah, and bronze did now.

1645
01:42:55,208 --> 01:42:55,500
Yeah.

1646
01:42:56,666 --> 01:42:57,500
Anyway, and yours,

1647
01:42:57,750 --> 01:42:59,083
maybe unpack that one a bit.

1648
01:43:00,125 --> 01:43:01,708
Mine was inertia, which I don't know

1649
01:43:01,708 --> 01:43:02,875
if I'm using it correctly, but I just--

1650
01:43:02,875 --> 01:43:03,458
I think that's a good one.

1651
01:43:03,458 --> 01:43:04,125
I feel like I'm just

1652
01:43:04,125 --> 01:43:05,541
being swept up in the inertia

1653
01:43:05,541 --> 01:43:06,208
of everything we've

1654
01:43:06,208 --> 01:43:07,083
gotta get done right now.

1655
01:43:07,583 --> 01:43:09,041
So true. With work and school

1656
01:43:09,500 --> 01:43:10,333
ending and getting

1657
01:43:10,333 --> 01:43:11,375
into the summer activities

1658
01:43:11,375 --> 01:43:12,083
and getting through the

1659
01:43:12,083 --> 01:43:13,500
vacations and all that kind of stuff.

1660
01:43:13,875 --> 01:43:15,708
That is just kind of

1661
01:43:15,708 --> 01:43:18,166
pushing, pulling at the same time.

1662
01:43:18,166 --> 01:43:19,041
It's the inertia of it.

1663
01:43:19,041 --> 01:43:19,250
Yeah.

1664
01:43:20,500 --> 01:43:21,666
June is gonna be like

1665
01:43:21,666 --> 01:43:23,166
that, just buckle up.

1666
01:43:23,958 --> 01:43:24,500
Buttercups.

1667
01:43:25,375 --> 01:43:25,833
Yeah.

1668
01:43:25,833 --> 01:43:27,375
Yep, yep, that's what it is.

1669
01:43:27,666 --> 01:43:28,416
All right, inertia.

1670
01:43:28,875 --> 01:43:30,208
I think that was way better than mine.

1671
01:43:30,291 --> 01:43:31,625
We're into June, so by

1672
01:43:31,625 --> 01:43:32,291
the time we get into this,

1673
01:43:32,291 --> 01:43:33,500
we'll be even more into June.

1674
01:43:34,000 --> 01:43:34,791
June's gonna go fast.

1675
01:43:35,416 --> 01:43:36,500
Half the people I know, I feel like,

1676
01:43:36,500 --> 01:43:37,500
are on vacation already.

1677
01:43:38,333 --> 01:43:40,666
So those are moving super quick.

1678
01:43:40,875 --> 01:43:41,666
Yeah. As well.

1679
01:43:42,875 --> 01:43:43,291
And these are the

1680
01:43:43,291 --> 01:43:44,500
months we wanna slow it down.

1681
01:43:44,500 --> 01:43:45,125
We didn't even get in

1682
01:43:45,125 --> 01:43:45,916
the pool last weekend.

1683
01:43:46,333 --> 01:43:49,833
No, but A, we didn't have time.

1684
01:43:50,875 --> 01:43:52,708
One of our kids is an ear infection, so.

1685
01:43:53,208 --> 01:43:53,375
Yeah.

1686
01:43:53,666 --> 01:43:54,666
We'll have plenty of time

1687
01:43:54,666 --> 01:43:56,291
over the next week or two.

1688
01:43:56,333 --> 01:43:56,958
You say that.

1689
01:43:57,500 --> 01:43:58,750
Knock on wood. Knock on wood.

1690
01:43:59,166 --> 01:44:00,375
Hope to be in it this weekend.

1691
01:44:00,750 --> 01:44:02,916
All right, well, I'll let

1692
01:44:02,916 --> 01:44:03,916
you sign us off this time.

1693
01:44:03,916 --> 01:44:04,625
I always do the sign offs this time.

1694
01:44:04,791 --> 01:44:06,583
Oh, you're a better sign-offer than I am.

1695
01:44:06,583 --> 01:44:07,333
I don't know that that's

1696
01:44:07,333 --> 01:44:08,791
been proven in the court of law.

1697
01:44:10,666 --> 01:44:11,666
You have a court of law for this?

1698
01:44:13,166 --> 01:44:13,791
Who knows anymore?

1699
01:44:14,791 --> 01:44:15,000
Honestly.

1700
01:44:16,500 --> 01:44:18,166
T.O.J.'s gonna get involved in this one.

1701
01:44:19,291 --> 01:44:22,083
Yeah, I, no comments.

1702
01:44:22,083 --> 01:44:22,708
I gotta stay off of

1703
01:44:22,708 --> 01:44:23,583
that one for the most part.

1704
01:44:24,500 --> 01:44:25,125
All right, well, hey,

1705
01:44:25,333 --> 01:44:26,208
thank you so much for joining.

1706
01:44:26,708 --> 01:44:28,000
Appreciate it, as we always do.

1707
01:44:28,875 --> 01:44:30,166
We will see you guys next week.

1708
01:44:30,166 --> 01:44:30,958
Have a great week.

1709
01:44:31,000 --> 01:44:31,875
Have a great week.

1710
01:44:31,916 --> 01:44:33,041
All right, see ya. See ya.

1711
01:44:34,833 --> 01:44:38,083
