self-deprecating life I live. 140 01:03:33,833 --> 01:03:35,416 You can be self-deprecating. 141 01:03:35,416 --> 01:03:35,791 All the time. 142 01:03:35,791 --> 01:03:36,500 I know it's episode 143 01:03:36,500 --> 01:03:37,916 three, but for whatever reason, 144 01:03:38,333 --> 01:03:39,750 I decided to throw in 145 01:03:39,750 --> 01:03:41,583 there, is it episode three? 146 01:03:41,916 --> 01:03:42,583 I don't even know. 147 01:03:42,833 --> 01:03:44,000 Like I'm an idiot, I'm sorry. 148 01:03:44,791 --> 01:03:46,791 So here's how I think about 149 01:03:46,791 --> 01:03:47,750 that, because I do that too. 150 01:03:48,416 --> 01:03:49,000 More in a work 151 01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:50,250 setting, but a lot of times, 152 01:03:50,375 --> 01:03:52,375 it's more to give people 153 01:03:52,375 --> 01:03:56,125 that sense of approach-- 154 01:03:56,500 --> 01:04:00,250 you can be approachable by instead 155 01:04:00,250 --> 01:04:01,708 of being so sure of 156 01:04:01,708 --> 01:04:02,750 yourself all the time. 157 01:04:03,333 --> 01:04:04,458 Sometimes inserting that 158 01:04:04,458 --> 01:04:07,125 little bit of self-deprecation, 159 01:04:07,666 --> 01:04:08,375 if that's a word. 160 01:04:09,041 --> 01:04:10,750 I must be the world's most 161 01:04:10,750 --> 01:04:12,041 approachable person then. 162 01:04:12,500 --> 01:04:13,541 [LAUGHTER] 163 01:04:14,583 --> 01:04:15,708 There's t-shirts for that. 164 01:04:15,708 --> 01:04:17,416 I feel like I constantly 165 01:04:17,416 --> 01:04:20,333 am just undercutting myself 166 01:04:20,333 --> 01:04:21,250 just to be an idiot. 167 01:04:22,958 --> 01:04:25,291 For instance, I remember when I used 168 01:04:25,291 --> 01:04:26,625 to work at Wells Fargo down in Chicago. 169 01:04:27,666 --> 01:04:28,708 And it was one of my 170 01:04:28,708 --> 01:04:29,583 early on in my career. 171 01:04:29,833 --> 01:04:31,791 So I was still younger, in my 20s. 172 01:04:32,041 --> 01:04:33,791 Maybe early 30s, I can't remember now. 173 01:04:34,333 --> 01:04:35,750 But still early on, I wasn't-- 174 01:04:36,958 --> 01:04:38,166 the long and the short of it is I feel 175 01:04:38,166 --> 01:04:38,750 like I never matured 176 01:04:38,750 --> 01:04:39,916 until I was 25, 27. 177 01:04:40,125 --> 01:04:41,375 I feel like I came into my own. 178 01:04:41,708 --> 01:04:44,208 But even at 30, my first professional job 179 01:04:44,500 --> 01:04:45,416 in the Towers, downtown 180 01:04:45,416 --> 01:04:46,708 Chicago financial district, 181 01:04:47,125 --> 01:04:48,416 I still felt like I was a 182 01:04:48,416 --> 01:04:50,000 little bit of the Joker. 183 01:04:50,750 --> 01:04:52,125 Even though I did 184 01:04:52,125 --> 01:04:54,000 underwriting of $200 million 185 01:04:54,000 --> 01:04:54,875 deals and all this kind of 186 01:04:54,875 --> 01:04:56,041 stuff, I had the work side. 187 01:04:56,875 --> 01:04:57,416 But I still felt like I 188 01:04:57,416 --> 01:04:58,250 was a little bit of a Joker. 189 01:04:58,250 --> 01:04:58,666 And there was times 190 01:04:58,666 --> 01:05:00,791 when I know I left Wells 191 01:05:00,791 --> 01:05:03,000 and I went to the next bank after that, 192 01:05:03,500 --> 01:05:04,500 I remember telling you, I 193 01:05:04,500 --> 01:05:05,500 want to reinvent myself. 194 01:05:05,500 --> 01:05:06,541 I don't want to be the Joker. 195 01:05:07,125 --> 01:05:07,416 Yes. 196 01:05:08,083 --> 01:05:09,541 Yeah, we talked a lot about that. 197 01:05:09,541 --> 01:05:11,000 And I think a lot of times, especially 198 01:05:11,208 --> 01:05:12,958 early in your career, you're trying-- 199 01:05:13,833 --> 01:05:15,958 that imposter syndrome is part of it. 200 01:05:16,375 --> 01:05:17,541 And you're like, oh, I have 201 01:05:17,541 --> 01:05:20,000 this big job and this big title. 202 01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:22,416 But I still feel like I'm 20 years old. 203 01:05:22,833 --> 01:05:23,166 I don't know. 204 01:05:23,166 --> 01:05:24,666 Maybe other people don't feel that way. 205 01:05:24,666 --> 01:05:26,166 That's how I feel or I felt. 206 01:05:26,791 --> 01:05:28,125 So I think that may have been part of it. 207 01:05:28,375 --> 01:05:29,458 I sometimes still feel that way. 208 01:05:30,208 --> 01:05:31,041 Yeah, I think it's natural 209 01:05:31,041 --> 01:05:32,125 for people to feel that way. 210 01:05:32,375 --> 01:05:34,000 Because even when I was researching, 211 01:05:34,666 --> 01:05:37,000 doing podcasts and whatnot, I mean, 212 01:05:38,083 --> 01:05:39,416 luckily, as far as I know, 213 01:05:39,458 --> 01:05:41,166 there's only like 50 or 214 01:05:41,166 --> 01:05:42,416 so of us doing podcasts. 215 01:05:43,208 --> 01:05:45,000 Oh, that's probably on the high side. 216 01:05:46,708 --> 01:05:47,458 Legitimately, there's 217 01:05:47,458 --> 01:05:48,500 probably like 3 million people 218 01:05:48,500 --> 01:05:49,416 that have a podcast. 219 01:05:49,416 --> 01:05:50,416 And we're 3 million in one. 220 01:05:51,083 --> 01:05:52,583 But they talk about a 221 01:05:52,583 --> 01:05:54,041 lot in there that, well, 222 01:05:54,041 --> 01:05:55,250 why am I going to do a podcast? 223 01:05:55,708 --> 01:05:57,458 They're trying to convince people, 224 01:05:57,458 --> 01:05:58,791 you have your own angle. 225 01:05:58,791 --> 01:06:00,250 You have your own experiences. 226 01:06:00,833 --> 01:06:02,125 And because of that, you have something 227 01:06:02,125 --> 01:06:04,500 to provide to the world. 228 01:06:04,958 --> 01:06:07,500 So people buy stuff, I'm sure. 229 01:06:07,875 --> 01:06:08,833 There's all kinds of stuff you 230 01:06:08,833 --> 01:06:11,000 have to do to be on platforms 231 01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:12,458 and get the podcast up and going. 232 01:06:12,625 --> 01:06:14,500 So it's all economic. 233 01:06:15,291 --> 01:06:17,000 But they talk a lot about 234 01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:18,250 imposter syndrome and that. 235 01:06:18,541 --> 01:06:20,541 Well, why would anybody listen to 236 01:06:20,541 --> 01:06:21,458 anything I have to say? 237 01:06:21,791 --> 01:06:22,625 And it's the same thing. 238 01:06:24,166 --> 01:06:25,458 So I think you're right, where it comes 239 01:06:25,458 --> 01:06:27,375 across through life, 240 01:06:27,375 --> 01:06:28,416 not just in this, but even 241 01:06:28,416 --> 01:06:31,208 this is 25 years later almost. 242 01:06:31,875 --> 01:06:32,208 Oh, yeah. 243 01:06:34,791 --> 01:06:36,916 People who I work with as 244 01:06:36,916 --> 01:06:38,333 mentor-mentee relationships 245 01:06:38,500 --> 01:06:39,583 actually talk a lot 246 01:06:39,583 --> 01:06:40,833 about imposter syndrome. 247 01:06:40,833 --> 01:06:42,500 I think it's still a very real thing. 248 01:06:42,666 --> 01:06:46,166 I think sometimes, even myself, we 249 01:06:46,166 --> 01:06:47,750 get kind of overwhelmed by the roles 250 01:06:47,750 --> 01:06:49,291 that we hold, whether that's at work or 251 01:06:49,291 --> 01:06:50,208 whether that's at home. 252 01:06:51,166 --> 01:06:52,666 And maybe inside, it's 253 01:06:52,666 --> 01:06:53,583 that insecurity of like, 254 01:06:53,583 --> 01:06:54,791 I don't know that I'm good enough. 255 01:06:54,791 --> 01:06:55,375 I don't know that I'm good 256 01:06:55,375 --> 01:06:56,708 enough to be a great mom. 257 01:06:56,708 --> 01:06:58,500 I've never raised a teen or 258 01:06:58,500 --> 01:06:59,708 I've never even had a child. 259 01:06:59,708 --> 01:07:00,583 So I don't know how to do this. 260 01:07:01,125 --> 01:07:02,208 I don't know how to be a good wife. 261 01:07:02,916 --> 01:07:03,791 I don't know how to be a 262 01:07:03,791 --> 01:07:05,875 good accountant or a doctor, 263 01:07:05,875 --> 01:07:07,500 you know, fill in the blank. 264 01:07:08,291 --> 01:07:10,125 But I think that might be pretty common. 265 01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:13,583 Yeah, it's got to be to some degree. 266 01:07:13,875 --> 01:07:16,083 It's a little bit of that fake it till 267 01:07:16,083 --> 01:07:17,041 you make it type stuff. 268 01:07:17,625 --> 01:07:19,416 I mean, we've talked about 269 01:07:19,416 --> 01:07:22,000 that a lot in our lives where-- 270 01:07:23,375 --> 01:07:25,666 and maybe it is that 271 01:07:25,666 --> 01:07:27,625 confidence as you're growing up 272 01:07:27,625 --> 01:07:29,125 in your career to some degree and you're 273 01:07:29,125 --> 01:07:30,958 looking at other people that you view as 274 01:07:30,958 --> 01:07:32,083 just so much smarter 275 01:07:32,291 --> 01:07:33,541 than you or they've just 276 01:07:33,541 --> 01:07:34,916 been around longer than you. 277 01:07:35,208 --> 01:07:37,750 Or, you know, in over time, 278 01:07:38,333 --> 01:07:40,333 as I matured into the role, 279 01:07:40,333 --> 01:07:42,000 I found out that there are 280 01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:42,833 people that are incredibly 281 01:07:42,958 --> 01:07:44,541 smart that do know everything. 282 01:07:44,833 --> 01:07:45,458 Oh, yes, yes. 283 01:07:45,708 --> 01:07:46,416 And that's not me. 284 01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:47,541 Nor I. 285 01:07:47,625 --> 01:07:50,125 But I would say, in my experience, 286 01:07:50,125 --> 01:07:52,166 there are few and far in between, right? 287 01:07:52,166 --> 01:07:52,916 A lot of the other people, 288 01:07:52,916 --> 01:07:54,166 although very smart and very 289 01:07:54,250 --> 01:07:55,291 intelligent and hard 290 01:07:55,291 --> 01:07:56,541 work ethics and all that, 291 01:07:56,541 --> 01:07:58,166 they've made it there for a reason. 292 01:07:59,500 --> 01:08:01,625 But I think a lot of them-- 293 01:08:02,458 --> 01:08:04,416 and myself, not excluded here either. 294 01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:07,250 I think you do kind of fake it till you 295 01:08:07,250 --> 01:08:08,291 make it at some point. 296 01:08:08,583 --> 01:08:09,958 I mean, I remember a time where it was 297 01:08:09,958 --> 01:08:10,750 like, well, I don't know. 298 01:08:10,750 --> 01:08:11,541 I'm just going to talk till 299 01:08:11,541 --> 01:08:12,916 the answer comes to my mind. 300 01:08:13,833 --> 01:08:15,541 And then later in my career, it was like, 301 01:08:16,208 --> 01:08:17,458 I think I know this answer. 302 01:08:17,458 --> 01:08:18,583 I'm just going to go straight to it. 303 01:08:19,125 --> 01:08:20,333 And that's why you're 304 01:08:20,333 --> 01:08:21,500 just better at your job 305 01:08:21,500 --> 01:08:22,000 when you're older. 306 01:08:22,541 --> 01:08:23,583 I think that's true. 307 01:08:23,583 --> 01:08:24,791 I think you have a little more just 308 01:08:24,791 --> 01:08:26,000 natural self-confidence. 309 01:08:26,875 --> 01:08:31,666 But I think, to some degree, we all still 310 01:08:31,666 --> 01:08:33,875 feel so much younger than we are, right? 311 01:08:34,291 --> 01:08:35,416 We've seen our whole journey. 312 01:08:35,833 --> 01:08:37,333 At least, maybe this is just me. 313 01:08:37,333 --> 01:08:39,416 I still feel like I'm 25, and it's 314 01:08:39,416 --> 01:08:41,125 the mirror that checks me every time, 315 01:08:41,708 --> 01:08:43,375 and not necessarily my own 316 01:08:43,375 --> 01:08:45,083 brain going, yeah, you're not 25 317 01:08:45,291 --> 01:08:45,625 anymore. 318 01:08:47,166 --> 01:08:49,291 But I'm kind of stuck there. 319 01:08:49,916 --> 01:08:51,166 And 25-year-old me, 320 01:08:51,666 --> 01:08:53,500 15-year-old me, pick a time. 321 01:08:53,500 --> 01:08:55,333 I was never super self-confident. 322 01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:56,625 But yet, sometimes we 323 01:08:56,625 --> 01:08:58,125 have to pretend that we are. 324 01:08:58,666 --> 01:09:00,708 My phrase-- so when I 325 01:09:00,708 --> 01:09:02,000 know I have something 326 01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:03,000 that I'm not looking forward 327 01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:04,583 to or I'm intimidated by it, 328 01:09:05,083 --> 01:09:06,291 I have a phrase in my head. 329 01:09:06,541 --> 01:09:08,041 And this is cheesy as heck. 330 01:09:08,041 --> 01:09:10,041 But it's always, I'm 331 01:09:10,041 --> 01:09:10,916 going to lace up the boots. 332 01:09:11,875 --> 01:09:13,583 And I'm going to go into battle. 333 01:09:13,583 --> 01:09:14,875 For whatever that 334 01:09:14,875 --> 01:09:16,208 battle is in that moment, 335 01:09:16,791 --> 01:09:19,333 I literally tell myself, I'm 336 01:09:19,333 --> 01:09:20,500 going to lace up the boots. 337 01:09:20,500 --> 01:09:20,791 Really? 338 01:09:21,208 --> 01:09:21,458 Yeah. 339 01:09:21,833 --> 01:09:22,875 I've never heard that before. 340 01:09:23,125 --> 01:09:23,750 I mean, I've never heard 341 01:09:23,750 --> 01:09:25,000 you tell me that story before. 342 01:09:26,125 --> 01:09:26,875 So that's how you get 343 01:09:26,875 --> 01:09:27,791 yourself through those. 344 01:09:28,500 --> 01:09:30,125 Because for those of you that don't know, 345 01:09:30,666 --> 01:09:33,041 at Megan's job, a lot of the time, 346 01:09:33,291 --> 01:09:34,833 she's up in front of hundreds of people, 347 01:09:35,791 --> 01:09:37,083 one of five people on the 348 01:09:37,083 --> 01:09:39,041 stage or one of less than that 349 01:09:39,041 --> 01:09:40,458 on a stage, talking 350 01:09:40,458 --> 01:09:41,791 directly to hundreds of people. 351 01:09:42,458 --> 01:09:43,375 And it's not something-- 352 01:09:43,875 --> 01:09:45,041 I mean, obviously, you kind of graduate 353 01:09:45,041 --> 01:09:46,083 into that over time. 354 01:09:46,083 --> 01:09:47,375 You just didn't get to run into that. 355 01:09:48,500 --> 01:09:50,541 But even-- I mean, I 356 01:09:50,541 --> 01:09:51,416 can't imagine doing that. 357 01:09:51,583 --> 01:09:53,000 I have never had to do that. 358 01:09:53,500 --> 01:09:55,375 I probably could to some degree maybe. 359 01:09:55,833 --> 01:09:58,291 But I can see where you'd 360 01:09:58,291 --> 01:09:59,125 have to have something-- 361 01:10:00,250 --> 01:10:02,333 some safe spot to find. 362 01:10:03,291 --> 01:10:04,541 And that's my phrase. 363 01:10:04,958 --> 01:10:06,708 And I think a lot of people probably 364 01:10:06,708 --> 01:10:07,916 have something like that 365 01:10:07,916 --> 01:10:09,083 that gets them mentally ready 366 01:10:09,208 --> 01:10:12,750 for a moment that, in reality, feels too 367 01:10:12,750 --> 01:10:14,791 big for me, at least. 368 01:10:15,291 --> 01:10:15,500 Yeah. 369 01:10:16,916 --> 01:10:17,708 I don't have that. 370 01:10:17,708 --> 01:10:18,083 I'm trying to think. 371 01:10:18,083 --> 01:10:18,833 Maybe that's why-- 372 01:10:19,541 --> 01:10:20,416 [LAUGHS] 373 01:10:22,458 --> 01:10:23,916 As an introvert-- people 374 01:10:23,916 --> 01:10:25,083 are picking up on themes here. 375 01:10:25,083 --> 01:10:27,416 But as an introvert, I do remember 376 01:10:27,416 --> 01:10:28,541 being young in my career at Wells. 377 01:10:28,541 --> 01:10:29,791 And even now, there's 378 01:10:29,791 --> 01:10:31,583 times-- and it's not nearly as bad. 379 01:10:32,125 --> 01:10:34,458 But when people are going around the room 380 01:10:34,458 --> 01:10:35,666 and introducing themselves-- 381 01:10:36,458 --> 01:10:37,750 and you have a really 382 01:10:37,750 --> 01:10:39,666 good, I think, strategy here-- 383 01:10:39,666 --> 01:10:43,875 I figured out later in life by myself. 384 01:10:43,875 --> 01:10:45,083 But I remember just 385 01:10:45,083 --> 01:10:47,083 watching one by one by one. 386 01:10:47,125 --> 01:10:48,625 People would go, and I 387 01:10:48,625 --> 01:10:50,333 would just be shaking. 388 01:10:52,416 --> 01:10:54,375 My palms would be dripping sweat. 389 01:10:54,375 --> 01:10:57,083 And I'd be just sweaty, just shaky. 390 01:10:57,375 --> 01:10:58,416 And all I really had to do sometimes 391 01:10:58,416 --> 01:10:59,458 was give my name and where 392 01:10:59,458 --> 01:11:00,500 I'm from and my position. 393 01:11:00,791 --> 01:11:01,000 Whatever. 394 01:11:02,791 --> 01:11:04,000 It wasn't even like I was giving an 395 01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:04,958 actual presentation. 396 01:11:05,458 --> 01:11:06,000 Sometimes you have 397 01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:07,708 standing up and put on the spot 398 01:11:07,708 --> 01:11:08,666 and coming up with things. 399 01:11:10,250 --> 01:11:11,458 And I didn't have anything like that. 400 01:11:12,041 --> 01:11:13,083 Even now, I get nervous 401 01:11:13,083 --> 01:11:14,083 in those things sometimes 402 01:11:14,083 --> 01:11:16,166 when I know it's coming to me. 403 01:11:16,208 --> 01:11:17,541 But I stole your 404 01:11:17,541 --> 01:11:18,666 thunder there a little bit. 405 01:11:18,666 --> 01:11:19,666 Your strategy is to go first. 406 01:11:20,125 --> 01:11:21,291 I think that's right on. 407 01:11:21,916 --> 01:11:22,250 Oh, yeah. 408 01:11:22,250 --> 01:11:24,000 Because the second I don't go first, 409 01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:25,416 then I'm judging myself, 410 01:11:25,416 --> 01:11:27,000 comparing myself to someone 411 01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:27,291 else. 412 01:11:27,500 --> 01:11:28,833 Oh, gosh, they said that really well. 413 01:11:28,833 --> 01:11:29,416 Or, oh, they picked a 414 01:11:29,416 --> 01:11:30,166 really big word there, 415 01:11:30,166 --> 01:11:31,500 and I don't know a big word. 416 01:11:32,458 --> 01:11:33,125 All of that. 417 01:11:33,666 --> 01:11:36,166 I get nervous if I don't. 418 01:11:36,458 --> 01:11:37,750 And so I try to take control. 419 01:11:38,166 --> 01:11:38,375 Yeah. 420 01:11:40,208 --> 01:11:41,208 Maybe I'm a control freak. 421 01:11:42,291 --> 01:11:43,500 I mean, that's probably-- 422 01:11:43,833 --> 01:11:44,458 You're a little bit of 423 01:11:44,458 --> 01:11:45,291 a self-described one, 424 01:11:46,333 --> 01:11:48,041 living with you for 20 years. 425 01:11:48,416 --> 01:11:50,000 I think I'm much more of a 426 01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:51,083 control freak than you are. 427 01:11:51,500 --> 01:11:51,875 Yeah. 428 01:11:52,125 --> 01:11:53,666 We're both type A. Weren't we 429 01:11:53,666 --> 01:11:54,833 having this conversation just 430 01:11:55,041 --> 01:11:56,625 this week with a friend of ours? 431 01:11:57,416 --> 01:12:00,666 We're both type A. But I'm an A minus. 432 01:12:01,625 --> 01:12:02,375 And what are you? 433 01:12:02,375 --> 01:12:03,583 She was her blood type, right? 434 01:12:04,625 --> 01:12:05,750 I'm my blood type. 435 01:12:05,750 --> 01:12:06,875 And you guys are both A minuses, right? 436 01:12:06,875 --> 01:12:07,625 We're both A minuses. 437 01:12:08,375 --> 01:12:09,958 And you're your blood type, which is? 438 01:12:09,958 --> 01:12:11,083 I think I'm A positive, right? 439 01:12:11,666 --> 01:12:12,875 Yeah, you are A plus. 440 01:12:13,250 --> 01:12:13,291 So you're an A plus. 441 01:12:14,375 --> 01:12:15,541 I don't wear that proudly. 442 01:12:15,833 --> 01:12:16,750 That comes, I guess, 443 01:12:16,750 --> 01:12:18,125 naturally in my jeans. 444 01:12:18,625 --> 01:12:20,166 But I'm well and tight sometimes. 445 01:12:20,166 --> 01:12:21,333 There's no doubt about it. 446 01:12:21,958 --> 01:12:22,958 Hey, and so you are. 447 01:12:23,250 --> 01:12:23,875 Embrace it. 448 01:12:23,875 --> 01:12:26,333 So one of us has to be a little bit of 449 01:12:26,333 --> 01:12:27,375 the person who gives. 450 01:12:27,583 --> 01:12:29,958 But you know very well after 451 01:12:29,958 --> 01:12:31,708 being with me for 20 years, 452 01:12:31,708 --> 01:12:32,291 there are certain 453 01:12:32,291 --> 01:12:34,041 things that you're like, 454 01:12:34,041 --> 01:12:35,166 I'm just not going to do that. 455 01:12:35,166 --> 01:12:35,791 Meghan's just going to 456 01:12:35,791 --> 01:12:36,583 go and do it because she 457 01:12:36,583 --> 01:12:38,083 has control of that one. 458 01:12:38,375 --> 01:12:39,166 I do think it's interesting 459 01:12:39,166 --> 01:12:40,333 that you've got that term, 460 01:12:40,333 --> 01:12:40,750 that phrase. 461 01:12:40,958 --> 01:12:42,291 And I'm just turning over in my head 462 01:12:42,333 --> 01:12:44,458 I don't really have that. 463 01:12:44,958 --> 01:12:46,458 In my mind, it's kind 464 01:12:46,458 --> 01:12:47,666 of like game time, right? 465 01:12:47,666 --> 01:12:48,125 You got to go. 466 01:12:48,583 --> 01:12:49,125 It's game time. 467 01:12:49,458 --> 01:12:50,041 You got to do it. 468 01:12:50,208 --> 01:12:51,500 But for me, it's almost like 469 01:12:51,500 --> 01:12:53,958 closing my eyes and diving in 470 01:12:53,958 --> 01:12:54,833 because I just have to. 471 01:12:54,833 --> 01:12:56,166 It's like pointing the skis downhill. 472 01:12:56,750 --> 01:12:57,833 You just got to go 473 01:12:57,833 --> 01:12:59,333 and then you black out. 474 01:12:59,333 --> 01:13:00,666 And then when you get 475 01:13:00,666 --> 01:13:01,458 to the bottom of the hill 476 01:13:01,458 --> 01:13:03,875 and it's done, you take all these classes 477 01:13:03,875 --> 01:13:06,291 when you're in a certain profession 478 01:13:06,541 --> 01:13:08,291 and they teach you how to make speeches 479 01:13:08,291 --> 01:13:09,375 and how to get presentations 480 01:13:09,375 --> 01:13:10,541 and all this kind of stuff. 481 01:13:11,250 --> 01:13:11,916 That's always hard 482 01:13:11,916 --> 01:13:13,125 because that's not real life. 483 01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:14,875 Oh, you need to-- don't 484 01:13:14,875 --> 01:13:15,791 point with the pointer. 485 01:13:16,458 --> 01:13:16,833 You're trying to 486 01:13:16,833 --> 01:13:17,500 remember all these things 487 01:13:17,500 --> 01:13:18,833 and talk about what's on there. 488 01:13:19,625 --> 01:13:20,208 And it's ridiculous. 489 01:13:20,500 --> 01:13:21,375 But I remember the one 490 01:13:21,375 --> 01:13:22,916 thing I've consistently 491 01:13:22,916 --> 01:13:24,833 got feedback on is 492 01:13:24,833 --> 01:13:25,833 that they said, oh, you 493 01:13:25,833 --> 01:13:27,125 seem so confident when you speak. 494 01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:29,916 And that always blows me away because to 495 01:13:29,916 --> 01:13:30,958 me, I'm always like, 496 01:13:30,958 --> 01:13:32,333 oh, is my voice shaking? 497 01:13:32,625 --> 01:13:33,500 I'm so nervous. 498 01:13:33,666 --> 01:13:36,833 I feel like I'm searching for words. 499 01:13:37,583 --> 01:13:38,416 That kind of thing. 500 01:13:38,416 --> 01:13:39,458 But apparently, at 501 01:13:39,458 --> 01:13:40,583 times-- and I'm sure I've 502 01:13:40,750 --> 01:13:41,750 bombed plenty of times. 503 01:13:42,083 --> 01:13:44,083 But more often than not, especially 504 01:13:44,083 --> 01:13:44,750 in a professional 505 01:13:44,750 --> 01:13:46,416 situation when I'm locked in, 506 01:13:47,208 --> 01:13:49,500 I can really get through it. 507 01:13:50,041 --> 01:13:50,583 Oh, for sure. 508 01:13:51,291 --> 01:13:52,000 But for sure. 509 01:13:52,750 --> 01:13:53,375 One of the things that 510 01:13:53,375 --> 01:13:55,708 helped me was that one class 511 01:13:55,708 --> 01:13:57,208 that I had to take on presentations. 512 01:13:57,875 --> 01:14:00,166 And we were on video all day. 513 01:14:00,500 --> 01:14:00,833 So maybe-- 514 01:14:01,291 --> 01:14:01,916 Done that one. 515 01:14:01,916 --> 01:14:03,958 And that is so intimidating. 516 01:14:04,333 --> 01:14:04,958 But when you actually 517 01:14:04,958 --> 01:14:05,875 watch yourself back, 518 01:14:06,083 --> 01:14:08,625 because your mind is racing, but if you 519 01:14:08,625 --> 01:14:09,583 watch yourself back, 520 01:14:09,750 --> 01:14:11,500 that pause actually 521 01:14:11,500 --> 01:14:12,791 felt relatively natural, 522 01:14:12,791 --> 01:14:14,041 even though I know in my own head 523 01:14:14,041 --> 01:14:15,041 I was searching for the word. 524 01:14:15,625 --> 01:14:15,833 Yeah. 525 01:14:15,916 --> 01:14:18,500 They always tell you the best speakers 526 01:14:18,500 --> 01:14:19,291 are able to be 527 01:14:19,291 --> 01:14:20,500 comfortable in that silence. 528 01:14:20,500 --> 01:14:22,166 In that silence, 529 01:14:22,750 --> 01:14:23,791 although it may be brief, 530 01:14:24,458 --> 01:14:25,708 it feels like an eternity. 531 01:14:26,458 --> 01:14:26,666 Eternity. 532 01:14:27,583 --> 01:14:27,791 Yeah. 533 01:14:28,416 --> 01:14:28,625 Yeah. 534 01:14:29,208 --> 01:14:30,416 One of the things I love, though-- 535 01:14:30,541 --> 01:14:32,583 our kids come home and talk to us 536 01:14:32,583 --> 01:14:33,875 about what they did in their day. 537 01:14:34,541 --> 01:14:35,875 And our kids are up in front 538 01:14:35,875 --> 01:14:37,666 of their class quite a bit, 539 01:14:37,750 --> 01:14:38,333 whether it's group 540 01:14:38,333 --> 01:14:39,500 presentations or whatever. 541 01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:42,291 And they're fifth grade, 542 01:14:42,291 --> 01:14:43,666 seventh grade, and ninth grade. 543 01:14:44,125 --> 01:14:45,833 So I gave my first 544 01:14:45,833 --> 01:14:47,083 presentation seventh grade. 545 01:14:47,083 --> 01:14:48,500 It was my very first one. 546 01:14:48,500 --> 01:14:49,250 But even in fifth 547 01:14:49,250 --> 01:14:50,000 grade, they're getting up 548 01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:52,000 in front of the class and talking, 549 01:14:52,000 --> 01:14:52,916 or getting up in front of the class 550 01:14:52,916 --> 01:14:53,708 and singing for 551 01:14:53,708 --> 01:14:54,541 different parts and things 552 01:14:54,541 --> 01:14:55,291 like that in music. 553 01:14:55,750 --> 01:14:57,583 I think that's a great way 554 01:14:57,583 --> 01:15:00,583 to start getting into that, 555 01:15:00,583 --> 01:15:01,791 because you will have to 556 01:15:01,791 --> 01:15:03,708 push yourself later in life. 557 01:15:03,708 --> 01:15:03,916 Yeah. 558 01:15:04,208 --> 01:15:05,375 I do like that they throw 559 01:15:05,375 --> 01:15:07,083 them into that fire a little bit. 560 01:15:07,208 --> 01:15:08,375 I would have hated that. 561 01:15:08,833 --> 01:15:10,041 But I'm glad they do it now. 562 01:15:10,333 --> 01:15:11,875 I don't remember doing speeches. 563 01:15:11,875 --> 01:15:12,833 I'm sure I had to do group 564 01:15:12,833 --> 01:15:14,125 presentations and whatnot. 565 01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:16,125 I think it's very well 566 01:15:16,125 --> 01:15:17,666 documented within our relationship 567 01:15:17,666 --> 01:15:20,916 that my education was lacking. 568 01:15:22,041 --> 01:15:23,750 District 11 didn't 569 01:15:23,750 --> 01:15:24,791 quite have the standards 570 01:15:24,791 --> 01:15:25,958 that maybe you grew up with. 571 01:15:26,583 --> 01:15:27,333 Yeah, I am always 572 01:15:27,333 --> 01:15:29,291 surprised at classic literature 573 01:15:29,291 --> 01:15:30,666 that you didn't read in school. 574 01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:32,708 I may have been assigned 575 01:15:32,708 --> 01:15:33,583 it, but I didn't read it. 576 01:15:33,833 --> 01:15:34,916 And I wasn't a bad student. 577 01:15:34,916 --> 01:15:35,458 Don't get me wrong. 578 01:15:35,875 --> 01:15:37,458 You are National Honor Society. 579 01:15:37,708 --> 01:15:39,125 Well, again, we've talked about that too. 580 01:15:39,541 --> 01:15:40,500 And that was only one or two 581 01:15:40,500 --> 01:15:41,916 years out of the four years 582 01:15:41,916 --> 01:15:43,083 or so that you're measured on it. 583 01:15:43,083 --> 01:15:44,375 So I don't want to be 584 01:15:44,375 --> 01:15:46,000 myself as a straight A student. 585 01:15:46,500 --> 01:15:47,166 I wasn't, but I did get 586 01:15:47,166 --> 01:15:48,125 an academic scholarship 587 01:15:48,125 --> 01:15:48,833 along with an athletic 588 01:15:48,833 --> 01:15:50,875 scholarship going to college. 589 01:15:51,458 --> 01:15:52,583 My hubby's wicked's not. 590 01:15:53,541 --> 01:15:54,041 That's not true. 591 01:15:54,250 --> 01:15:55,000 No, we have different 592 01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:56,000 kind of smarts though, right? 593 01:15:56,833 --> 01:15:57,250 Oh, yeah. 594 01:15:58,708 --> 01:16:02,500 You definitely have not only the IQ. 595 01:16:03,000 --> 01:16:04,333 You're very smart. 596 01:16:05,791 --> 01:16:06,166 I know. 597 01:16:06,166 --> 01:16:07,125 Yeah, there's that counter of 598 01:16:07,125 --> 01:16:08,250 how much we gush on each other. 599 01:16:08,625 --> 01:16:08,833 Yes. 600 01:16:09,208 --> 01:16:11,916 But you're also very savvy 601 01:16:11,916 --> 01:16:15,208 socially and common sense wise. 602 01:16:16,458 --> 01:16:16,625 Yeah. 603 01:16:17,083 --> 01:16:17,916 And I sometimes don't 604 01:16:17,916 --> 01:16:18,666 have the common sense. 605 01:16:18,666 --> 01:16:19,291 And I think you're 606 01:16:19,291 --> 01:16:20,000 just a little more heavy 607 01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:22,250 on the intellectual savviness. 608 01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:24,958 And that common sense side for you is 609 01:16:24,958 --> 01:16:27,375 there's just not enough room. 610 01:16:27,375 --> 01:16:28,708 Your brain's so big for 611 01:16:28,708 --> 01:16:29,833 just some of those easy things. 612 01:16:30,458 --> 01:16:33,208 Honestly, you overthink the easy things. 613 01:16:33,500 --> 01:16:34,166 You overthink it. 614 01:16:34,375 --> 01:16:35,166 Very much so. 615 01:16:35,166 --> 01:16:36,500 And I'm dumb enough that I'm 616 01:16:36,500 --> 01:16:37,791 like, well, let's just do that. 617 01:16:38,833 --> 01:16:39,375 You know what I mean? 618 01:16:39,666 --> 01:16:41,166 It's like the stupid thing makes sense. 619 01:16:41,166 --> 01:16:43,000 It's the kiss philosophy. 620 01:16:43,500 --> 01:16:44,125 Right, right. 621 01:16:44,625 --> 01:16:45,333 Keep it stupid simple. 622 01:16:46,458 --> 01:16:47,500 No, keep it simple, stupid. 623 01:16:47,833 --> 01:16:48,041 Yeah. 624 01:16:48,416 --> 01:16:49,291 Or keep it stupid simple. 625 01:16:50,291 --> 01:16:51,208 I think either works. 626 01:16:51,791 --> 01:16:52,666 But they are kiss. 627 01:16:53,500 --> 01:16:54,541 Either one is kiss. 628 01:16:55,500 --> 01:16:55,708 Yeah. 629 01:16:56,625 --> 01:16:57,625 Now, you definitely 630 01:16:57,625 --> 01:16:59,125 have more common sense. 631 01:16:59,125 --> 01:17:00,125 And I do overthink it. 632 01:17:00,375 --> 01:17:01,208 I overthink a lot. 633 01:17:02,083 --> 01:17:02,583 Yeah. 634 01:17:02,916 --> 01:17:04,791 But then what's crazy, though, is that 635 01:17:04,791 --> 01:17:06,833 oftentimes I overthink 636 01:17:07,458 --> 01:17:09,375 in the dumb situations. 637 01:17:09,875 --> 01:17:11,083 But I turn my brain off 638 01:17:11,083 --> 01:17:12,291 a lot easier than you do. 639 01:17:13,666 --> 01:17:13,916 Yeah. 640 01:17:14,250 --> 01:17:16,625 So maybe our brain just rests at 641 01:17:16,625 --> 01:17:17,458 different intervals. 642 01:17:17,666 --> 01:17:18,041 I don't know. 643 01:17:18,541 --> 01:17:18,875 Yeah. 644 01:17:19,041 --> 01:17:19,666 There's definitely more 645 01:17:19,666 --> 01:17:20,791 than two types of humans. 646 01:17:21,708 --> 01:17:22,375 We are definitely our 647 01:17:22,375 --> 01:17:23,791 own types, for sure. 648 01:17:23,791 --> 01:17:24,625 We rest different ways. 649 01:17:24,625 --> 01:17:25,500 We think different ways. 650 01:17:26,125 --> 01:17:27,250 We do a lot of things different ways. 651 01:17:27,250 --> 01:17:28,583 But the good news is we do a lot of 652 01:17:28,583 --> 01:17:29,458 things the same way, too. 653 01:17:30,125 --> 01:17:31,458 That's what helps it work to 654 01:17:31,458 --> 01:17:32,958 some degree over the long run, 655 01:17:32,958 --> 01:17:33,291 I think. 656 01:17:33,791 --> 01:17:34,000 Yes. 657 01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:37,083 We have a lot of similarities. 658 01:17:37,708 --> 01:17:39,500 And over 20 years, we've 659 01:17:39,500 --> 01:17:41,166 really learned each other. 660 01:17:41,750 --> 01:17:43,333 And you know when I'm 661 01:17:43,333 --> 01:17:44,416 going to overthink something, 662 01:17:44,416 --> 01:17:45,833 because you often are watching me. 663 01:17:45,833 --> 01:17:46,500 And you're like, that should 664 01:17:46,500 --> 01:17:47,625 have been a simple response. 665 01:17:47,625 --> 01:17:49,083 She's clearly turning a lot 666 01:17:49,083 --> 01:17:50,083 of wheels over in her head 667 01:17:50,083 --> 01:17:51,083 right now. 668 01:17:51,083 --> 01:17:54,250 You kind of just expect it. 669 01:17:54,958 --> 01:17:55,166 Yeah. 670 01:17:55,916 --> 01:17:56,083 Yeah. 671 01:17:56,208 --> 01:17:58,458 No, I don't-- it's funny you 672 01:17:58,458 --> 01:17:59,375 say that, because it's like-- 673 01:17:59,916 --> 01:18:02,333 after so long together-- and I don't know 674 01:18:02,333 --> 01:18:02,916 if other people feel 675 01:18:02,916 --> 01:18:03,958 this way, too, or not-- 676 01:18:03,958 --> 01:18:05,166 but after so long together, 677 01:18:06,416 --> 01:18:09,666 I don't think of you as separate Megan. 678 01:18:10,125 --> 01:18:10,416 Yeah. 679 01:18:11,916 --> 01:18:12,875 I think of you as me. 680 01:18:13,416 --> 01:18:15,458 So it's like, if I'm on 681 01:18:15,458 --> 01:18:16,791 the run, and I'm moving, 682 01:18:16,791 --> 01:18:18,208 and I don't got time to talk to you, 683 01:18:19,416 --> 01:18:21,041 you should understand 684 01:18:21,041 --> 01:18:22,166 that, because you're me. 685 01:18:22,458 --> 01:18:22,875 You know what I mean? 686 01:18:22,875 --> 01:18:24,208 We're just the same thing. 687 01:18:24,500 --> 01:18:25,083 Yeah, we're just an 688 01:18:25,083 --> 01:18:26,000 extension of each other. 689 01:18:26,375 --> 01:18:28,583 I forget to stop and remember 690 01:18:28,583 --> 01:18:30,541 that you are living your own 691 01:18:30,583 --> 01:18:31,291 life, and you are 692 01:18:31,291 --> 01:18:32,416 having your own thoughts, 693 01:18:32,416 --> 01:18:33,000 and you have your own 694 01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:34,250 feelings, God forbid. 695 01:18:35,291 --> 01:18:36,291 And I need to take those 696 01:18:36,291 --> 01:18:37,250 into account more often. 697 01:18:37,916 --> 01:18:38,750 I think that's pretty 698 01:18:38,750 --> 01:18:41,000 normal, though, to do that, 699 01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:44,125 especially when we're, I think, 700 01:18:44,375 --> 01:18:45,250 exceptionally close. 701 01:18:45,750 --> 01:18:47,125 And we've been together-- 702 01:18:47,125 --> 01:18:47,541 I mean, there's been 703 01:18:47,541 --> 01:18:50,125 times in our relationship 704 01:18:50,458 --> 01:18:54,125 where we lived, I don't know, 15 hours 705 01:18:54,125 --> 01:18:55,166 from the closest friend 706 01:18:55,291 --> 01:18:57,333 or relative, we were self-employed. 707 01:18:57,666 --> 01:18:59,791 So we were really each 708 01:18:59,791 --> 01:19:01,708 other's only true coworker, 709 01:19:01,708 --> 01:19:03,625 other than the people who worked for us. 710 01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:06,583 I mean, we were all we had. 711 01:19:06,833 --> 01:19:09,458 And so I think through all of that, 712 01:19:09,458 --> 01:19:10,750 you do just become an 713 01:19:10,750 --> 01:19:12,250 extension of each other. 714 01:19:12,500 --> 01:19:14,500 And then you're like, well, why aren't 715 01:19:14,500 --> 01:19:16,125 you thinking of this? 716 01:19:16,125 --> 01:19:16,625 Because that's the 717 01:19:16,625 --> 01:19:17,958 way I'm thinking of it. 718 01:19:17,958 --> 01:19:19,875 And so you do, now and again, 719 01:19:19,875 --> 01:19:21,416 need to hit pause and be like, 720 01:19:22,166 --> 01:19:22,500 totally different 721 01:19:22,500 --> 01:19:24,083 person, different views, 722 01:19:24,083 --> 01:19:24,750 different background. 723 01:19:25,791 --> 01:19:26,625 But I do view that as 724 01:19:26,625 --> 01:19:27,916 we're just totally interwoven. 725 01:19:28,541 --> 01:19:29,833 Even though we're-- 726 01:19:30,625 --> 01:19:31,625 I wonder if anybody else 727 01:19:31,625 --> 01:19:33,458 thinks that way about that. 728 01:19:33,708 --> 01:19:34,333 You've got to be. 729 01:19:34,416 --> 01:19:35,208 I don't know how else you-- 730 01:19:36,458 --> 01:19:37,083 maybe people think of 731 01:19:37,083 --> 01:19:37,625 it totally different. 732 01:19:37,625 --> 01:19:38,166 But from my 733 01:19:38,166 --> 01:19:39,041 perspective, I just don't know 734 01:19:39,416 --> 01:19:40,833 how else you would think of it. 735 01:19:41,375 --> 01:19:41,791 And that's why 736 01:19:41,791 --> 01:19:43,333 sometimes it just gets so-- 737 01:19:44,125 --> 01:19:44,875 that's why when we talked 738 01:19:44,875 --> 01:19:46,041 two weeks ago or whatever 739 01:19:46,041 --> 01:19:47,541 about date night, and make sure we have 740 01:19:47,541 --> 01:19:48,666 those times that we can 741 01:19:48,666 --> 01:19:51,375 just not be just 742 01:19:51,375 --> 01:19:53,541 tunnel vision on the path 743 01:19:53,708 --> 01:19:54,458 that we're on. 744 01:19:54,458 --> 01:19:55,250 And it's like, come on. 745 01:19:55,250 --> 01:19:56,375 I know you're right next to me. 746 01:19:56,375 --> 01:19:58,375 We're both-- whatever it is, 747 01:19:59,041 --> 01:20:00,125 just flying down this tunnel 748 01:20:00,166 --> 01:20:02,708 vision path at Mach 7, and 749 01:20:02,708 --> 01:20:04,333 that's that pull out moment 750 01:20:04,333 --> 01:20:06,208 where it is like, well, how was your day? 751 01:20:06,666 --> 01:20:06,958 Yes. 752 01:20:07,625 --> 01:20:07,833 Yes. 753 01:20:09,125 --> 01:20:12,791 Just this morning, see, this is why we 754 01:20:12,791 --> 01:20:13,708 love morning cereal. 755 01:20:14,208 --> 01:20:15,208 So another shameless 756 01:20:15,208 --> 01:20:16,458 plug for morning cereal. 757 01:20:16,458 --> 01:20:17,000 But it's not. 758 01:20:17,000 --> 01:20:17,458 These aren't planned. 759 01:20:17,958 --> 01:20:18,833 These aren't planned. 760 01:20:18,833 --> 01:20:19,375 They're really not. 761 01:20:19,791 --> 01:20:20,250 Actually, we haven't 762 01:20:20,250 --> 01:20:21,500 even touched on the topics 763 01:20:21,625 --> 01:20:22,916 that we have in front of us. 764 01:20:24,625 --> 01:20:27,291 But Carnegie, Dale Carnegie was talking 765 01:20:27,291 --> 01:20:28,250 about-- the author of the book was 766 01:20:28,250 --> 01:20:29,875 talking about a stockbroker 767 01:20:30,125 --> 01:20:33,541 and how he decided to smile at his wife. 768 01:20:33,958 --> 01:20:34,958 So this morning, we 769 01:20:34,958 --> 01:20:36,666 actually took a moment 770 01:20:37,541 --> 01:20:38,333 to smile at each 771 01:20:38,333 --> 01:20:39,541 other, not in a cheesy way 772 01:20:39,541 --> 01:20:41,375 because it was still kind of early. 773 01:20:41,375 --> 01:20:42,833 We were doing the morning routine. 774 01:20:43,875 --> 01:20:44,916 But it was really nice 775 01:20:44,916 --> 01:20:46,125 just to smile and get 776 01:20:46,125 --> 01:20:47,291 a hug in the kitchen. 777 01:20:47,625 --> 01:20:47,875 Yeah. 778 01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:51,250 That made me think of two stories. 779 01:20:52,625 --> 01:20:53,583 And I don't know which one to tell. 780 01:20:53,625 --> 01:20:54,458 I'll stick with the sweet 781 01:20:54,458 --> 01:20:56,041 story first, where-- it's right. 782 01:20:56,416 --> 01:20:57,916 I actually-- you smiled 783 01:20:57,916 --> 01:20:59,208 at me, and I walked by you 784 01:20:59,208 --> 01:21:01,000 with maybe an eyeball 785 01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:02,375 raised because it was still 786 01:21:02,458 --> 01:21:03,500 7.20 in the morning. 787 01:21:03,875 --> 01:21:04,333 It was early. 788 01:21:04,583 --> 01:21:05,041 It was early. 789 01:21:05,541 --> 01:21:07,000 And I stopped literally 790 01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:09,375 mid-stride, backed up, 791 01:21:09,375 --> 01:21:10,500 and said, I'm going to 792 01:21:10,500 --> 01:21:12,000 give you a smile this morning. 793 01:21:12,000 --> 01:21:13,208 And I hugged you. 794 01:21:13,458 --> 01:21:13,666 Right? 795 01:21:13,875 --> 01:21:15,083 And it was because of that reading. 796 01:21:15,083 --> 01:21:17,083 So it's like implementing-- anyways, 797 01:21:17,625 --> 01:21:18,541 it's just implementing 798 01:21:18,541 --> 01:21:21,708 these real-world type skills 799 01:21:21,708 --> 01:21:23,291 and things you can put into practice 800 01:21:23,291 --> 01:21:25,875 that we talk about on morning cereal. 801 01:21:26,291 --> 01:21:28,250 But I was also laughing at 802 01:21:28,250 --> 01:21:30,625 it too when it was literally-- 803 01:21:31,250 --> 01:21:33,166 I want to be careful because I 804 01:21:33,166 --> 01:21:34,541 don't want to always just talk 805 01:21:34,541 --> 01:21:35,791 about my bad things 806 01:21:35,791 --> 01:21:36,541 on here because we all 807 01:21:36,541 --> 01:21:37,333 have our bad things. 808 01:21:37,333 --> 01:21:38,125 But those are some of the 809 01:21:38,125 --> 01:21:39,291 funny things to talk about. 810 01:21:39,583 --> 01:21:44,958 So take it with a grain of sand. 811 01:21:44,958 --> 01:21:45,166 Salt. 812 01:21:45,833 --> 01:21:46,250 Dammit. 813 01:21:47,666 --> 01:21:48,791 I was going to say salt too. 814 01:21:49,458 --> 01:21:50,625 Well, I might cut that one out. 815 01:21:50,625 --> 01:21:53,000 But take it with a grain of salt when 816 01:21:53,333 --> 01:21:53,958 I tell some of these 817 01:21:53,958 --> 01:21:55,583 stories that I'm not that bad. 818 01:21:55,833 --> 01:21:56,583 Oh, gosh, no. 819 01:21:57,083 --> 01:21:58,166 But I do remember telling 820 01:21:58,166 --> 01:22:01,583 you a few months ago that-- 821 01:22:01,916 --> 01:22:02,916 I know exactly where 822 01:22:02,916 --> 01:22:03,375 you're going with it. 823 01:22:03,375 --> 01:22:04,416 When we get up, we're up 824 01:22:04,416 --> 01:22:05,625 at like 5.30 in the morning. 825 01:22:06,291 --> 01:22:06,875 It's early. 826 01:22:06,875 --> 01:22:07,958 I'm not a morning person. 827 01:22:08,333 --> 01:22:09,375 I am a morning grump. 828 01:22:09,375 --> 01:22:10,375 I'm not a morning person. 829 01:22:10,666 --> 01:22:11,500 I'm not a grumpy. 830 01:22:11,500 --> 01:22:12,458 I'm just not morning person. 831 01:22:14,000 --> 01:22:17,416 And after-- you're just 832 01:22:17,416 --> 01:22:18,666 so thoughtful and so nice 833 01:22:18,666 --> 01:22:19,583 all the time. 834 01:22:19,583 --> 01:22:21,208 But there's two things I was like-- 835 01:22:21,208 --> 01:22:21,583 Gush meter. 836 01:22:21,791 --> 01:22:22,416 Yeah, there it is. 837 01:22:23,500 --> 01:22:27,333 I said, one, would you mind just dimming 838 01:22:27,333 --> 01:22:27,958 the lights in the 839 01:22:27,958 --> 01:22:29,166 bathroom a little bit when 840 01:22:29,166 --> 01:22:29,916 you're in the shower? 841 01:22:29,916 --> 01:22:30,916 Because when I come in 842 01:22:30,916 --> 01:22:32,250 from our dark bedroom 843 01:22:32,250 --> 01:22:33,625 and I open the doors into the bathroom, 844 01:22:34,458 --> 01:22:36,000 it's like I'm looking at 845 01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:37,416 the sun from 10 feet away. 846 01:22:37,666 --> 01:22:39,916 And I'm like, yeah, it blinds me. 847 01:22:41,500 --> 01:22:43,541 And it immediately almost 848 01:22:43,541 --> 01:22:46,875 is like a negative feeling. 849 01:22:47,083 --> 01:22:48,000 You know, like, god, now 850 01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:49,833 I got light in my eyes. 851 01:22:51,458 --> 01:22:53,041 Even though I'm walking with my eyes 852 01:22:53,041 --> 01:22:54,083 closed most of the time 853 01:22:54,083 --> 01:22:54,916 at that time in the morning. 854 01:22:55,583 --> 01:22:58,708 But then secondarily-- and I'm almost 855 01:22:58,708 --> 01:22:59,541 embarrassed to say-- 856 01:22:59,541 --> 01:23:00,208 I mean, I am 857 01:23:00,208 --> 01:23:01,375 embarrassed to say this out loud. 858 01:23:01,666 --> 01:23:04,166 But maybe in hindsight, it's funny. 859 01:23:04,708 --> 01:23:07,416 But the second thing I asked, in addition 860 01:23:07,416 --> 01:23:08,416 to dimming the lights, 861 01:23:08,500 --> 01:23:11,000 was could you please 862 01:23:11,000 --> 01:23:13,500 not smile so big at me 863 01:23:14,000 --> 01:23:15,541 and ask me if I slept OK? 864 01:23:16,458 --> 01:23:18,000 Because I literally just rolled out of 865 01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:19,500 bed, fell out of bed. 866 01:23:19,958 --> 01:23:21,166 I'm just mad that I-- 867 01:23:21,166 --> 01:23:22,583 because I want to go back to sleep. 868 01:23:24,083 --> 01:23:25,333 And all of a sudden, I'm 869 01:23:25,333 --> 01:23:28,291 blinded with this huge light. 870 01:23:28,875 --> 01:23:32,708 And then your beautiful smile is 100-- 871 01:23:34,416 --> 01:23:35,458 how do I want to say this? 872 01:23:36,041 --> 01:23:37,916 OK, so I'm going to 873 01:23:37,916 --> 01:23:38,708 defend you a little bit. 874 01:23:38,708 --> 01:23:40,291 So yes, we had this conversation. 875 01:23:41,208 --> 01:23:42,208 I like to think that I put 876 01:23:42,208 --> 01:23:43,250 all of these into practice 877 01:23:43,916 --> 01:23:45,500 because I now dim the light 878 01:23:45,500 --> 01:23:47,416 in the bathroom every day. 879 01:23:47,708 --> 01:23:48,125 Super culturable. 880 01:23:48,375 --> 01:23:50,041 But then I get what 881 01:23:50,041 --> 01:23:52,791 you're saying about, OK, 882 01:23:52,916 --> 01:23:54,583 don't overpower me in the 883 01:23:54,583 --> 01:23:56,083 morning with positivity. 884 01:23:56,541 --> 01:23:58,791 And it feels like energy. 885 01:23:58,791 --> 01:23:59,625 I'm also a little bit 886 01:23:59,625 --> 01:24:00,750 slow in the morning, too. 887 01:24:00,750 --> 01:24:01,958 So I get it. 888 01:24:01,958 --> 01:24:03,458 You're just waking up. 889 01:24:03,458 --> 01:24:05,375 And it's too much to be like-- 890 01:24:05,583 --> 01:24:05,791 It's a tsunami. 891 01:24:05,833 --> 01:24:06,708 It felt like a tsunami. 892 01:24:08,083 --> 01:24:09,000 And I think that's-- 893 01:24:09,083 --> 01:24:10,000 Blasting me away. 894 01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:10,375 That's fair. 895 01:24:10,583 --> 01:24:11,500 That's one of those things. 896 01:24:12,041 --> 01:24:13,416 I'm at least coachable. 897 01:24:13,416 --> 01:24:14,500 And you did get feedback. 898 01:24:14,750 --> 01:24:16,083 I know you're being so thoughtful. 899 01:24:16,083 --> 01:24:16,958 And that's why I was like, I feel 900 01:24:16,958 --> 01:24:18,166 horrible telling you this 901 01:24:18,166 --> 01:24:19,375 or asking you this. 902 01:24:19,750 --> 01:24:20,333 But would you just 903 01:24:20,333 --> 01:24:21,875 mind giving me 15 minutes 904 01:24:22,208 --> 01:24:24,791 to kind of wind myself up for that? 905 01:24:25,500 --> 01:24:26,833 So the smile and the hug this morning 906 01:24:26,833 --> 01:24:28,791 was after we had been up for a while. 907 01:24:28,791 --> 01:24:29,750 It felt appropriate. 908 01:24:30,000 --> 01:24:30,375 Yeah, we were up. 909 01:24:30,375 --> 01:24:30,958 We were just showered. 910 01:24:30,958 --> 01:24:31,625 We were going-- 911 01:24:31,625 --> 01:24:32,291 It was actually really natural. 912 01:24:33,000 --> 01:24:33,208 Yeah. 913 01:24:33,250 --> 01:24:34,041 Like, yeah. 914 01:24:34,708 --> 01:24:35,833 But maybe not-- 915 01:24:36,666 --> 01:24:38,416 yes, a smile in the morning is great. 916 01:24:38,875 --> 01:24:41,000 But maybe not the 100 watt smile. 917 01:24:41,208 --> 01:24:42,000 Like, it's amazing. 918 01:24:43,500 --> 01:24:45,500 It was fair. 919 01:24:45,875 --> 01:24:46,083 Yeah. 920 01:24:46,250 --> 01:24:47,125 I think I referred to that 921 01:24:47,125 --> 01:24:48,833 as the full 10 level smile 922 01:24:49,000 --> 01:24:49,916 on morning cereal. 923 01:24:50,416 --> 01:24:50,666 Yeah. 924 01:24:51,125 --> 01:24:51,666 Smiling robots. 925 01:24:52,166 --> 01:24:53,000 Yeah, the smiling robots. 926 01:24:53,458 --> 01:24:54,375 And I think that's good. 927 01:24:56,000 --> 01:24:56,875 I'm kind of like you. 928 01:24:56,875 --> 01:24:57,416 Most people are-- 929 01:24:58,791 --> 01:24:59,708 some people are like that. 930 01:24:59,708 --> 01:25:01,541 But I do think that a lot of people 931 01:25:01,541 --> 01:25:02,583 take some awhile to warm up. 932 01:25:02,916 --> 01:25:03,125 Yeah. 933 01:25:03,583 --> 01:25:04,291 You should test that one 934 01:25:04,291 --> 01:25:05,458 morning and get up before you 935 01:25:05,458 --> 01:25:06,333 and just hide in there 936 01:25:06,333 --> 01:25:07,416 and just blast the lights. 937 01:25:07,416 --> 01:25:07,833 And when you open 938 01:25:07,833 --> 01:25:10,375 those doors, just nail you 939 01:25:10,375 --> 01:25:11,500 with the biggest smile ever. 940 01:25:12,083 --> 01:25:12,791 How'd you sleep? 941 01:25:12,791 --> 01:25:13,375 Were you good? 942 01:25:13,375 --> 01:25:13,833 Did you sleep OK? 943 01:25:15,041 --> 01:25:16,625 You got a great day going, don't we? 944 01:25:19,125 --> 01:25:20,291 After 20 years, if you did 945 01:25:20,291 --> 01:25:23,000 that, I would be so shocked. 946 01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:23,708 If I just-- wow. 947 01:25:24,375 --> 01:25:24,750 Just straight punch 948 01:25:24,750 --> 01:25:25,541 to the face because you 949 01:25:25,541 --> 01:25:26,625 have no idea who it is. 950 01:25:26,625 --> 01:25:26,833 Yeah. 951 01:25:27,250 --> 01:25:28,666 I'm going to like Ferris 952 01:25:28,666 --> 01:25:29,625 Bueller kick you, you know? 953 01:25:29,791 --> 01:25:30,208 Like, yeah. 954 01:25:30,750 --> 01:25:31,541 That would mean I was up 955 01:25:31,541 --> 01:25:33,791 all night on illegal drugs. 956 01:25:34,416 --> 01:25:34,625 Right. 957 01:25:34,833 --> 01:25:35,875 So this isn't going to happen. 958 01:25:38,208 --> 01:25:39,791 Well, you mentioned it in there. 959 01:25:39,791 --> 01:25:40,791 And the first item on our 960 01:25:40,791 --> 01:25:42,041 list, you mentioned us being 961 01:25:42,041 --> 01:25:43,166 in Vegas working together. 962 01:25:44,166 --> 01:25:45,500 Which was funny because-- 963 01:25:46,125 --> 01:25:47,291 so we were in Vegas last 964 01:25:47,291 --> 01:25:48,708 weekend with the youngest 965 01:25:49,166 --> 01:25:50,000 in his soccer team. 966 01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:50,375 And I could tell you a 967 01:25:50,375 --> 01:25:51,083 little bit about that. 968 01:25:51,666 --> 01:25:53,708 But Meghan was talking about we-- 969 01:25:54,666 --> 01:25:56,000 you should tell the story of 970 01:25:56,000 --> 01:25:58,500 just how dumbfounded I was. 971 01:25:58,541 --> 01:26:00,791 And you quit your good corporate job 972 01:26:00,791 --> 01:26:02,791 to come work for ICS. 973 01:26:03,458 --> 01:26:04,166 See, this is-- 974 01:26:04,458 --> 01:26:05,750 I didn't really know that 975 01:26:05,750 --> 01:26:07,083 you were so dumbfounded. 976 01:26:07,083 --> 01:26:08,708 I thought you were just excited about it. 977 01:26:09,000 --> 01:26:09,250 Yeah. 978 01:26:09,250 --> 01:26:09,958 Did we already cover that? 979 01:26:09,958 --> 01:26:10,833 I don't want to repeat things on that. 980 01:26:10,833 --> 01:26:11,291 I think we did. 981 01:26:11,291 --> 01:26:12,416 Like a little bit in the first place. 982 01:26:12,583 --> 01:26:13,583 Yeah, we may have. 983 01:26:13,583 --> 01:26:15,416 So ICS was a 984 01:26:15,416 --> 01:26:16,750 construction services company 985 01:26:17,333 --> 01:26:18,708 where we worked with 986 01:26:18,708 --> 01:26:20,291 like Pulte Home Builders. 987 01:26:20,291 --> 01:26:22,041 And we would provide cleaning services 988 01:26:22,041 --> 01:26:24,000 over the different phases of the build. 989 01:26:24,916 --> 01:26:25,875 Put our dumpsters out there. 990 01:26:25,875 --> 01:26:26,708 Our garbage trucks would 991 01:26:26,708 --> 01:26:28,166 come empty them and all this. 992 01:26:28,833 --> 01:26:29,750 Started it from scratch, 993 01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:33,666 which was a crazy experience. 994 01:26:34,083 --> 01:26:35,625 And honestly, that was 995 01:26:35,625 --> 01:26:37,291 a really good company. 996 01:26:38,541 --> 01:26:41,916 Unfortunately, I was not aware of 2008 997 01:26:42,125 --> 01:26:44,750 and all that would come with that, the 998 01:26:44,750 --> 01:26:45,500 crash of the housing 999 01:26:45,583 --> 01:26:46,208 market and the 1000 01:26:46,208 --> 01:26:47,583 financial markets to follow, 1001 01:26:48,666 --> 01:26:50,583 that would put a quick end to that. 1002 01:26:50,958 --> 01:26:52,000 It wasn't a mature enough 1003 01:26:52,000 --> 01:26:53,291 company to get us through that. 1004 01:26:54,250 --> 01:26:56,833 But point being, that was a 1005 01:26:56,833 --> 01:26:58,000 long tangent to get to the fact 1006 01:26:58,041 --> 01:26:59,833 that I went back by there in Vegas 1007 01:26:59,833 --> 01:27:00,958 because we started in 1008 01:27:00,958 --> 01:27:02,125 Colorado and we moved it to Vegas 1009 01:27:02,125 --> 01:27:03,166 because Vegas was booming. 1010 01:27:03,166 --> 01:27:04,791 And so I always tell everybody, I 1011 01:27:04,791 --> 01:27:05,833 feel like we built or 1012 01:27:05,833 --> 01:27:07,500 helped build half of Vegas 1013 01:27:08,041 --> 01:27:09,541 because we just put up track 1014 01:27:09,541 --> 01:27:12,166 homes of 500 homes, 200 homes, 1015 01:27:12,166 --> 01:27:15,541 400, just tons of homes because it was 1016 01:27:15,541 --> 01:27:16,833 growing like crazy there. 1017 01:27:16,833 --> 01:27:19,916 But I went back and I went and tried 1018 01:27:19,916 --> 01:27:20,708 to find some of the old 1019 01:27:20,708 --> 01:27:22,208 neighborhoods that we built. 1020 01:27:23,166 --> 01:27:24,958 And this just changed so much there. 1021 01:27:25,958 --> 01:27:27,375 Vegas has built up a ton. 1022 01:27:28,000 --> 01:27:28,708 No, but it was fun. 1023 01:27:28,708 --> 01:27:29,375 So we were out there 1024 01:27:29,375 --> 01:27:31,166 with the soccer team. 1025 01:27:32,583 --> 01:27:34,541 And generally, when we 1026 01:27:34,541 --> 01:27:35,333 went out there last year 1027 01:27:35,333 --> 01:27:36,458 for the same tournament, we 1028 01:27:36,458 --> 01:27:38,833 stayed on the proper Vegas. 1029 01:27:38,833 --> 01:27:39,750 We stayed in the Aria. 1030 01:27:40,458 --> 01:27:41,458 And what was the other hotel? 1031 01:27:41,458 --> 01:27:42,416 We stayed at the Trump Hotel. 1032 01:27:43,125 --> 01:27:43,916 Oh, that's right. 1033 01:27:44,208 --> 01:27:45,000 Because it was the 1034 01:27:45,000 --> 01:27:46,000 only hotel on the strip 1035 01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:47,291 that didn't have gambling in it. 1036 01:27:47,291 --> 01:27:47,833 Right, right. 1037 01:27:48,250 --> 01:27:48,500 Yeah. 1038 01:27:48,791 --> 01:27:49,458 There's an age. 1039 01:27:49,458 --> 01:27:50,583 There's a club rule 1040 01:27:50,583 --> 01:27:52,500 around gambling and young kids. 1041 01:27:52,500 --> 01:27:52,916 So you're not supposed 1042 01:27:52,916 --> 01:27:53,916 to have a casino on the-- 1043 01:27:53,916 --> 01:27:54,750 Yeah, so we stayed there. 1044 01:27:55,083 --> 01:27:56,041 And I think that's 1045 01:27:56,041 --> 01:27:57,250 changed because this year, we 1046 01:27:57,333 --> 01:27:58,666 stayed at the Golden Nugget. 1047 01:28:00,375 --> 01:28:02,625 And let me tell you, that was different. 1048 01:28:03,625 --> 01:28:04,833 Because we stayed at 1049 01:28:04,833 --> 01:28:06,333 the Bellagio after that. 1050 01:28:06,333 --> 01:28:07,583 And you and I, when we lived there, 1051 01:28:07,583 --> 01:28:08,916 we stayed in a lot of places because 1052 01:28:08,916 --> 01:28:10,333 locals get discounts. 1053 01:28:10,625 --> 01:28:10,833 Yeah. 1054 01:28:11,125 --> 01:28:12,000 It was always great. 1055 01:28:12,000 --> 01:28:14,000 We always got these really nice suites. 1056 01:28:15,583 --> 01:28:16,625 And because we lived 1057 01:28:16,625 --> 01:28:17,333 there, we were residents. 1058 01:28:17,333 --> 01:28:18,583 So we'd get this huge discount. 1059 01:28:18,958 --> 01:28:20,208 So we got to live it up a 1060 01:28:20,208 --> 01:28:21,166 little bit when we lived there. 1061 01:28:21,625 --> 01:28:22,583 But yeah, the Golden Nugget 1062 01:28:22,583 --> 01:28:24,500 is not quite the Bellagio. 1063 01:28:25,250 --> 01:28:26,000 Oh my gosh. 1064 01:28:26,166 --> 01:28:27,500 The parents were having a 1065 01:28:27,500 --> 01:28:28,458 good time talking about it 1066 01:28:28,458 --> 01:28:30,625 on the sideline saying, how do we end up 1067 01:28:30,625 --> 01:28:31,666 at the Golden Nugget? 1068 01:28:32,583 --> 01:28:34,000 And you walk out-- 1069 01:28:34,000 --> 01:28:35,583 I think it's Fremont Street, right? 1070 01:28:35,583 --> 01:28:36,041 That's covered. 1071 01:28:36,333 --> 01:28:36,500 Yeah. 1072 01:28:36,958 --> 01:28:40,000 So it's the closest place to go for food. 1073 01:28:40,250 --> 01:28:41,541 And of course, you kind of 1074 01:28:41,541 --> 01:28:43,000 want to show the youngest who's 1075 01:28:43,000 --> 01:28:43,916 been to Vegas, but the 1076 01:28:43,916 --> 01:28:46,291 main strip by the Bellagio 1077 01:28:46,291 --> 01:28:47,541 and all that, Paris and everything. 1078 01:28:48,333 --> 01:28:49,916 And so we walk out there. 1079 01:28:50,333 --> 01:28:53,666 And I haven't been there for 25 years. 1080 01:28:53,708 --> 01:28:54,666 I honestly don't even 1081 01:28:54,666 --> 01:28:55,291 know what to expect. 1082 01:28:56,000 --> 01:28:56,458 I wouldn't either. 1083 01:28:56,708 --> 01:28:58,625 I know that it could be a 1084 01:28:58,625 --> 01:29:00,500 slightly questionable, maybe 1085 01:29:00,875 --> 01:29:01,625 at some spots. 1086 01:29:01,625 --> 01:29:02,791 I'm just kind of be aware of that. 1087 01:29:03,208 --> 01:29:04,000 So we walk out. 1088 01:29:04,291 --> 01:29:06,000 And it honestly wasn't that bad. 1089 01:29:06,791 --> 01:29:07,583 But it was fun. 1090 01:29:07,583 --> 01:29:08,833 I mean, I think Liam just-- 1091 01:29:09,166 --> 01:29:10,708 the whole thing's got a dome on it. 1092 01:29:11,000 --> 01:29:11,541 There's people-- 1093 01:29:12,250 --> 01:29:13,333 I mean, the people 1094 01:29:13,333 --> 01:29:14,625 watching there is incredible. 1095 01:29:15,083 --> 01:29:15,333 Yes. 1096 01:29:15,958 --> 01:29:16,166 Yes. 1097 01:29:16,708 --> 01:29:19,458 And I did just the smallest of little 1098 01:29:19,458 --> 01:29:20,416 Instagram-type things 1099 01:29:20,416 --> 01:29:22,625 to show Liam and I's trip out there. 1100 01:29:23,333 --> 01:29:26,333 But Liam got to see all 1101 01:29:26,333 --> 01:29:27,583 these street performers, 1102 01:29:27,916 --> 01:29:29,833 this guy that was big and tall. 1103 01:29:29,833 --> 01:29:31,500 He fit himself into this little box. 1104 01:29:33,000 --> 01:29:34,500 Liam got hugged by 1105 01:29:34,500 --> 01:29:36,208 this huge 10-foot gorilla. 1106 01:29:36,916 --> 01:29:37,750 And we had this zip 1107 01:29:37,750 --> 01:29:38,708 line that we want to do. 1108 01:29:38,708 --> 01:29:40,125 We did a lot of really cool things 1109 01:29:40,125 --> 01:29:41,500 and saw some really neat things. 1110 01:29:42,583 --> 01:29:43,833 He never asked about the 1111 01:29:43,833 --> 01:29:45,333 Showgirls, which was good. 1112 01:29:45,333 --> 01:29:46,416 And he never asked about 1113 01:29:46,416 --> 01:29:48,583 the pasties, which was-- 1114 01:29:49,083 --> 01:29:50,083 Even better, I guess. 1115 01:29:50,083 --> 01:29:50,625 Probably his first 1116 01:29:50,625 --> 01:29:51,791 experience there, if you noticed. 1117 01:29:53,833 --> 01:29:56,041 But Vegas was fun. 1118 01:29:56,500 --> 01:29:58,750 The soccer team, unfortunately, one 1119 01:29:58,750 --> 01:30:00,375 of our good friends on the 1120 01:30:00,375 --> 01:30:02,875 team and part of the car pool 1121 01:30:02,875 --> 01:30:03,625 that we talked about 1122 01:30:03,625 --> 01:30:04,625 sometimes on this show, 1123 01:30:05,833 --> 01:30:07,791 his son had the flu, unfortunately. 1124 01:30:08,000 --> 01:30:10,458 So he missed the entire weekend. 1125 01:30:10,458 --> 01:30:12,125 So they literally flew to 1126 01:30:12,125 --> 01:30:15,125 Vegas to sit in the hotel room 1127 01:30:15,666 --> 01:30:16,125 with the flu. 1128 01:30:16,750 --> 01:30:17,375 Oh my gosh. 1129 01:30:18,125 --> 01:30:18,791 And at the Golden-- 1130 01:30:19,333 --> 01:30:20,416 The Golden Nugget. 1131 01:30:20,416 --> 01:30:21,541 Well, and one of the other things-- 1132 01:30:21,541 --> 01:30:22,916 first of all, I feel so 1133 01:30:22,916 --> 01:30:24,000 terrible for that family. 1134 01:30:24,000 --> 01:30:25,416 I did reach out to the mom to ask 1135 01:30:25,416 --> 01:30:28,333 how he was doing, the poor kid, poor dad. 1136 01:30:28,333 --> 01:30:30,125 I mean, who brought him? 1137 01:30:30,125 --> 01:30:33,333 Like, just wasn't not a great experience. 1138 01:30:33,916 --> 01:30:35,625 But I mean, you told me-- 1139 01:30:35,625 --> 01:30:37,458 I didn't hear about the Showgirls, 1140 01:30:37,458 --> 01:30:39,083 but you did tell me 1141 01:30:39,083 --> 01:30:40,375 about-- because you called me, 1142 01:30:40,375 --> 01:30:40,958 and you're like, can you 1143 01:30:40,958 --> 01:30:41,791 hear this in the background? 1144 01:30:42,250 --> 01:30:44,458 There was like a full-on rave going on. 1145 01:30:44,833 --> 01:30:46,000 And can you imagine if 1146 01:30:46,000 --> 01:30:47,500 this poor child with the flu 1147 01:30:47,583 --> 01:30:48,458 had to listen to the rave 1148 01:30:48,458 --> 01:30:49,500 all night long like you did? 1149 01:30:50,125 --> 01:30:50,333 Yeah. 1150 01:30:50,666 --> 01:30:51,416 No, I think-- 1151 01:30:52,041 --> 01:30:53,375 hopefully they were on the other side. 1152 01:30:53,375 --> 01:30:54,208 I'm guessing they were, 1153 01:30:54,208 --> 01:30:55,875 because there's two sides, I guess, 1154 01:30:57,041 --> 01:30:57,666 to the hotel. 1155 01:30:58,166 --> 01:30:59,833 And I know there's only one other dad 1156 01:30:59,833 --> 01:31:00,875 that I could confirm was 1157 01:31:00,875 --> 01:31:01,708 on the same side as us, 1158 01:31:01,708 --> 01:31:05,333 because he knew just how obscenely 1159 01:31:05,333 --> 01:31:09,208 riotous the rave music 1160 01:31:09,416 --> 01:31:10,750 was for seven hours straight. 1161 01:31:11,791 --> 01:31:13,875 Literally-- I called you 1162 01:31:13,875 --> 01:31:14,541 to see if you could tell it, 1163 01:31:14,541 --> 01:31:15,500 but I took a video of it. 1164 01:31:16,291 --> 01:31:17,583 It was shaking my wedding 1165 01:31:17,583 --> 01:31:19,791 ring on top of the heater. 1166 01:31:20,291 --> 01:31:21,541 It was so much bass. 1167 01:31:22,208 --> 01:31:23,333 And if you're on the other side-- 1168 01:31:23,708 --> 01:31:24,791 they gave you earplugs. 1169 01:31:24,791 --> 01:31:26,333 Like, that was to make up for it. 1170 01:31:26,333 --> 01:31:28,500 I mean, it's like I put extra 1171 01:31:28,500 --> 01:31:29,666 money into the vibrating bed 1172 01:31:29,666 --> 01:31:32,458 all night, because it was just so crazy. 1173 01:31:34,083 --> 01:31:35,125 But anyways, that was half 1174 01:31:35,125 --> 01:31:36,041 the reason why I didn't even 1175 01:31:36,041 --> 01:31:37,291 make it out to see 1176 01:31:37,291 --> 01:31:38,125 some of the dads at night, 1177 01:31:38,125 --> 01:31:39,041 because I know they went out and did a 1178 01:31:39,041 --> 01:31:39,750 little bit of gambling, 1179 01:31:39,750 --> 01:31:40,500 did a little bit of drinking. 1180 01:31:42,500 --> 01:31:43,958 And hopefully nobody's offended by that. 1181 01:31:43,958 --> 01:31:44,333 But I mean-- 1182 01:31:45,375 --> 01:31:45,916 Hey, be more-- 1183 01:31:45,958 --> 01:31:47,791 People are just having fun. 1184 01:31:47,791 --> 01:31:48,666 We're in Rome, right? 1185 01:31:48,875 --> 01:31:49,166 I mean-- 1186 01:31:49,166 --> 01:31:49,541 No judgment. 1187 01:31:49,958 --> 01:31:51,541 But I was on zero sleep 1188 01:31:51,541 --> 01:31:53,083 after two nights of that. 1189 01:31:53,083 --> 01:31:53,291 Oh. 1190 01:31:53,583 --> 01:31:54,291 And if you're on the other 1191 01:31:54,291 --> 01:31:55,083 side, you couldn't hear it. 1192 01:31:55,083 --> 01:31:56,041 You could hear it a little 1193 01:31:56,041 --> 01:31:57,833 bit, but it wasn't literally 1194 01:31:57,916 --> 01:31:59,458 shaking the room. 1195 01:31:59,750 --> 01:32:00,333 I mean, it was-- 1196 01:32:01,333 --> 01:32:02,083 I don't know how it's-- 1197 01:32:02,583 --> 01:32:03,333 I just don't know how it's 1198 01:32:03,333 --> 01:32:04,166 possible that you could have 1199 01:32:04,166 --> 01:32:05,416 a hotel and allow that. 1200 01:32:05,708 --> 01:32:05,916 Yeah. 1201 01:32:06,541 --> 01:32:07,708 See, and this is one of those things. 1202 01:32:08,666 --> 01:32:10,916 Sure, I said I still feel like I'm 25. 1203 01:32:11,666 --> 01:32:13,041 And I said that the mirror 1204 01:32:13,041 --> 01:32:14,291 was the only thing that told me 1205 01:32:14,291 --> 01:32:15,458 I wasn't 25. 1206 01:32:15,458 --> 01:32:16,083 Oh, no, no, no. 1207 01:32:16,083 --> 01:32:17,000 Experiences like that tell 1208 01:32:17,000 --> 01:32:18,583 me I'm not 25 anymore, too. 1209 01:32:18,583 --> 01:32:20,500 But I wasn't there to experience this. 1210 01:32:21,125 --> 01:32:21,333 Yeah. 1211 01:32:21,958 --> 01:32:22,250 Yeah. 1212 01:32:22,500 --> 01:32:23,500 No, I've always needed to sleep. 1213 01:32:23,833 --> 01:32:26,000 So that was not a great experience 1214 01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:27,041 as far as that was concerned. 1215 01:32:27,458 --> 01:32:29,000 But we had a good time there. 1216 01:32:29,500 --> 01:32:31,000 The youngest, we went back to Paris, 1217 01:32:31,000 --> 01:32:32,041 where he loves having 1218 01:32:32,041 --> 01:32:35,166 some Paris hotel, where 1219 01:32:35,166 --> 01:32:36,708 he loves the breakfast there. 1220 01:32:37,375 --> 01:32:38,583 So that was fun. 1221 01:32:39,541 --> 01:32:41,041 Messy was in town, which was 1222 01:32:41,041 --> 01:32:42,291 really cool, with Inter Miami. 1223 01:32:44,083 --> 01:32:45,083 So we were on the lookout. 1224 01:32:45,166 --> 01:32:45,666 You never know. 1225 01:32:45,666 --> 01:32:46,750 We might run into him. 1226 01:32:46,750 --> 01:32:46,958 Hey. 1227 01:32:47,416 --> 01:32:48,541 Probably not at the Golden Nugget. 1228 01:32:49,166 --> 01:32:50,541 But you never know. 1229 01:32:50,708 --> 01:32:51,333 You never know. 1230 01:32:51,666 --> 01:32:52,375 We went to the Luxor. 1231 01:32:52,375 --> 01:32:52,875 He could have been checking 1232 01:32:52,875 --> 01:32:53,875 out Carrot Top or something. 1233 01:32:54,208 --> 01:32:54,833 He could have. 1234

01:34:35,541 --> 01:34:36,708 I think our youngest had fun. 1307 01:34:37,166 --> 01:34:38,291 Well, it was cold too. 1308 01:34:38,500 --> 01:34:38,833 Oh, yeah. 1309 01:34:38,833 --> 01:34:39,333 A

01:34:45,000 I mean, numb toes at night. 1314 01:34:45,000 --> 01:34:46,291 It got down to 26 or 1315 01:34:46,291 --> 01:34:48,208 something like that at the night game. 1316 01:34:48,750 --> 01:34:49,791 And we had two of those. 1317 01:34:51,083 --> 01:34:53,000 So we had two teams out there. 1318 01:34:53,500 --> 01:34:55,416 And we went to watch one team. 1319 01:34:55,416 --> 01:34:56,541 And then we'd play our game. 1320 01:34:56,541 --> 01:34:57,750 So we were outside for 1321 01:34:57,750 --> 01:34:59,875 three, four, five hours straight 1322 01:34:59,875 --> 01:35:00,458 at times. 1323 01:35:00,791 --> 01:35:01,000 Wow. 1324 01:35:01,291 --> 01:35:02,000 Maybe not that long. 1325 01:35:02,000 --> 01:35:02,333 We're close. 1326 01:35:02,791 --> 01:35:04,583 Although was it as cold as the game 1327 01:35:04,583 --> 01:35:05,750 that you and I went to the 1328 01:35:05,750 --> 01:35:07,000 other night for our oldest son? 1329 01:35:07,875 --> 01:35:08,125 No. 1330 01:35:08,750 --> 01:35:08,958 No. 1331 01:35:09,500 --> 01:35:10,208 Holy bananas. 1332 01:35:12,375 --> 01:35:13,416 We sat out at a soccer 1333 01:35:13,416 --> 01:35:15,833 game on Tuesday night. 1334 01:35:15,833 --> 01:35:16,958 I don't even remember now. 1335 01:35:17,500 --> 01:35:18,708 My eyes were frozen. 1336 01:35:18,958 --> 01:35:19,625 I don't know. 1337 01:35:20,375 --> 01:35:21,791 That was, we say, the second 1338 01:35:21,791 --> 01:35:23,708 coldest game we've ever been on. 1339 01:35:23,708 --> 01:35:23,916 Yeah. 1340 01:35:25,000 --> 01:35:27,666 And then we were sat there wondering, 1341 01:35:28,916 --> 01:35:30,000 why did we pick our kids? 1342 01:35:30,291 --> 01:35:32,083 Why did our kids pick outdoor sports? 1343 01:35:32,791 --> 01:35:33,000 Yeah. 1344 01:35:33,583 --> 01:35:33,791 Yeah. 1345 01:35:34,041 --> 01:35:34,875 I remember thinking that. 1346 01:35:35,125 --> 01:35:37,916 I mean, I never talk about it. 1347 01:35:37,916 --> 01:35:38,625 But I played basketball. 1348 01:35:39,708 --> 01:35:40,541 That might be the 1349 01:35:40,541 --> 01:35:41,500 first time some people ever 1350 01:35:41,500 --> 01:35:43,083 knew that, listening to this, honestly. 1351 01:35:43,666 --> 01:35:46,875 But I was always happy 1352 01:35:46,875 --> 01:35:48,291 that that was an indoor sport. 1353 01:35:48,916 --> 01:35:49,125 Yeah. 1354 01:35:49,333 --> 01:35:50,583 And I remember my hands being cold. 1355 01:35:50,791 --> 01:35:52,708 I remember when a gym was cold. 1356 01:35:52,708 --> 01:35:54,291 I would warm up with those 1357 01:35:54,291 --> 01:35:55,333 little black stretchy gloves 1358 01:35:55,375 --> 01:35:55,791 sometimes. 1359 01:35:56,458 --> 01:35:57,250 So my hands would get cold. 1360 01:35:57,791 --> 01:35:58,750 And that was cold for me. 1361 01:35:58,750 --> 01:35:59,750 So now we're sitting out. 1362 01:36:00,125 --> 01:36:03,083 Last night was the second coldest. 1363 01:36:03,083 --> 01:36:04,125 And thank god there was no wind. 1364 01:36:04,541 --> 01:36:05,666 Because if there was wind, I mean, 1365 01:36:06,458 --> 01:36:08,333 it's honestly torture that they make 1366 01:36:08,333 --> 01:36:09,250 these kids play this. 1367 01:36:10,083 --> 01:36:12,916 Because soccer down here is year round. 1368 01:36:12,916 --> 01:36:13,208 Year round. 1369 01:36:13,875 --> 01:36:15,291 And so we played last night 1370 01:36:15,291 --> 01:36:18,375 when the real field temperature 1371 01:36:18,375 --> 01:36:19,125 was 17. 1372 01:36:20,333 --> 01:36:21,666 And the real temperature was 26. 1373 01:36:22,958 --> 01:36:23,583 Something like that. 1374 01:36:25,208 --> 01:36:26,875 And that's not the first time. 1375 01:36:26,875 --> 01:36:28,541 That's not like that's an outlier. 1376 01:36:29,375 --> 01:36:30,250 That happens all the time. 1377 01:36:30,250 --> 01:36:30,958 We play. 1378 01:36:30,958 --> 01:36:32,041 If we can play, we play. 1379 01:36:33,958 --> 01:36:35,916 And gosh, there's two ums in a row. 1380 01:36:36,125 --> 01:36:36,875 Sorry about that, everybody. 1381 01:36:37,958 --> 01:36:39,000 I've gotten good at not uming. 1382 01:36:39,208 --> 01:36:40,625 But I'm uming right now. 1383 01:36:42,333 --> 01:36:44,958 However, we also play in the summer. 1384 01:36:45,791 --> 01:36:46,625 And thank god now we 1385 01:36:46,625 --> 01:36:47,541 started getting July off. 1386 01:36:47,541 --> 01:36:48,041 But for the longest 1387 01:36:48,041 --> 01:36:49,166 time, we didn't get July off. 1388 01:36:49,750 --> 01:36:50,708 And the kids would play in 100. 1389 01:36:51,000 --> 01:36:52,750 And what's the highest we played in? 1390 01:36:52,750 --> 01:36:53,625 I think it was 112. 1391 01:36:54,208 --> 01:36:55,375 I was gonna say 112 as well. 1392 01:36:55,416 --> 01:36:55,625 Yeah. 1393 01:36:56,666 --> 01:36:57,541 Regularly 107. 1394 01:36:58,166 --> 01:36:58,375 Right. 1395 01:36:59,125 --> 01:37:00,291 And they gave the kids, 1396 01:37:00,291 --> 01:37:02,041 instead of just half time, 1397 01:37:02,041 --> 01:37:03,625 they would split it up and give them 1398 01:37:04,000 --> 01:37:06,000 like two water breaks per half or 1399 01:37:06,000 --> 01:37:06,666 something like that. 1400 01:37:06,708 --> 01:37:08,583 And you're like, that isn't enough. 1401 01:37:08,958 --> 01:37:11,041 We're literally just 1402 01:37:11,041 --> 01:37:12,583 bathing in our own sweat. 1403 01:37:13,500 --> 01:37:15,916 Our poor children were like, hustle, run. 1404 01:37:16,125 --> 01:37:17,458 And you're like, I can't. 1405 01:37:17,458 --> 01:37:18,916 And good conscience even say that. 1406 01:37:19,041 --> 01:37:19,583 That's here in Texas. 1407 01:37:19,833 --> 01:37:20,416 I mean, I grew up in 1408 01:37:20,416 --> 01:37:22,208 Colorado, which we played in cold. 1409 01:37:22,208 --> 01:37:23,000 We played in snow. 1410 01:37:23,708 --> 01:37:25,250 I don't know what you did in Minnesota. 1411 01:37:26,166 --> 01:37:28,083 I mean, I didn't play soccer. 1412 01:37:28,083 --> 01:37:29,625 But no, there were plenty of games 1413 01:37:29,625 --> 01:37:30,875 where it was freezing 1414 01:37:30,875 --> 01:37:32,000 because it's Minnesota. 1415 01:37:32,625 --> 01:37:33,250 But they didn't play 1416 01:37:33,250 --> 01:37:34,250 in the dead of winter. 1417 01:37:34,791 --> 01:37:35,000 Right. 1418 01:37:35,708 --> 01:37:36,916 Negative 30. 1419 01:37:37,208 --> 01:37:37,416 Right. 1420 01:37:37,791 --> 01:37:40,000 I mean, it's just common

01:43:31,000 --> 01:43:31,750 it was actually a quiet 1634 01:43:31,750 --> 01:43:34,083 weekend here at the house, 1635 01:43:34,083 --> 01:43:36,208 and then you got home a little early, 1636 01:43:36,916 --> 01:43:40,125 so we could have a full family day. 1637 01:43:40,583 --> 01:43:41,791 It was kind of a PJ day. 1638 01:43:42,875 --> 01:43:43,458 Got a couple things 1639 01:43:43,458 --> 01:43:44,416 done around the house. 1640 01:43:44,833 --> 01:43:46,666 Yeah, it's freezing outside, 1641 01:43:46,958 --> 01:43:48,625 so it's a great excuse 1642 01:43:48,625 --> 01:43:50,958 just to sit around the house, 1643 01:43:51,208 --> 01:43:54,291 and I think we're a big movie family. 1644 01:43:54,375 --> 01:43:54,708 Yeah. 1645 01:43:54,750 --> 01:43:55,416 And we haven't even done 1646 01:43:55,416 --> 01:43:56,500 as much as that lately, 1647 01:43:56,791 --> 01:43:58,000 this last six months. 1648 01:43:58,000 --> 01:43:58,208 Yeah. 1649 01:43:58,750 --> 01:44:00,666 There haven't been very many new movies 1650 01:44:00,666 --> 01:44:03,000 that have been put out that have made it 1651 01:44:03,000 --> 01:44:04,291 to your home yet. 1652 01:44:04,291 --> 01:44:05,666 We've gone to quite a few in the theater, 1653 01:44:06,208 --> 01:44:07,291 but I think that's probably why. 1654 01:44:07,583 --> 01:44:08,333 Yeah, streaming, we 1655 01:44:08,333 --> 01:44:09,458 don't have too many new ones 1656 01:44:09,458 --> 01:44:10,166 that we haven't seen. 1657 01:44:10,583 --> 01:44:11,708 So, generally, our idea of 1658 01:44:11,708 --> 01:44:13,625 having a good family in-day, 1659 01:44:13,625 --> 01:44:14,958 especially on a cold day like that, 1660 01:44:15,208 --> 01:44:16,875 with chocolate, sitting 1661 01:44:16,875 --> 01:44:18,000 by the fire or whatnot, 1662 01:44:18,333 --> 01:44:19,958 is either watching sports, depending on 1663 01:44:19,958 --> 01:44:20,875 what sports we're on, 1664 01:44:20,875 --> 01:44:22,583 but watching a movie and putting that on, 1665 01:44:23,083 --> 01:44:24,208 and putting a Lego together. 1666 01:44:24,291 --> 01:44:24,541 Yep. 1667 01:44:24,583 --> 01:44:25,833 We've got so many Legos out 1668 01:44:25,833 --> 01:44:27,083 in the movie room right now, 1669 01:44:28,166 --> 01:44:29,666 and we're missing a bag in one of them. 1670 01:44:30,125 --> 01:44:30,541 I know. 1671 01:44:30,958 --> 01:44:31,500 I don't-- 1672 01:44:31,750 --> 01:44:34,541 I literally spent an hour on Sunday 1673 01:44:35,500 --> 01:44:36,750 looking for bag 27. 1674 01:44:37,166 --> 01:44:38,666 We all did, and we 1675 01:44:38,666 --> 01:44:39,833 still can't find bag 27, 1676 01:44:40,125 --> 01:44:42,916 so we're gonna have to call Lego 1677 01:44:43,208 --> 01:44:44,375 and say you're missing a whole bag. 1678 01:44:44,666 --> 01:44:46,500 So the Eiffel Tower is being delayed. 1679 01:44:46,916 --> 01:44:48,041 Yes, which is really 1680 01:44:48,041 --> 01:44:48,916 gonna upset our youngest 1681 01:44:49,041 --> 01:44:50,000 because he wants to 1682 01:44:50,000 --> 01:44:50,916 build the Eiffel Tower, 1683 01:44:51,541 --> 01:44:52,708 and we can't go past 1684 01:44:52,708 --> 01:44:53,958 bag 27 at this point. 1685 01:44:54,166 --> 01:44:54,875 And it's my turn. 1686 01:44:55,250 --> 01:44:56,791 And it's your turn, yeah. 1687 01:44:57,000 --> 01:44:58,041 The big Legos, we do take 1688 01:44:58,041 --> 01:44:59,750 turns, and it is your turn. 1689 01:44:59,791 --> 01:45:00,625 Yeah, well, I called it, 1690 01:45:00,625 --> 01:45:01,875 and Bear started working on his big Lego 1691 01:45:01,875 --> 01:45:03,000 that Santa brought him. 1692 01:45:03,000 --> 01:45:03,333 Yep. 1693 01:45:03,375 --> 01:45:04,125 So that's fun. 1694 01:45:04,125 --> 01:45:05,083 So we have a lot of Legos. 1695 01:45:05,708 --> 01:45:05,791 Yep. 1696 01:45:05,791 --> 01:45:07,500 And I know, I can't blame it on the dog 1697 01:45:07,625 --> 01:45:09,000 because she can't eat a whole bag. 1698 01:45:09,583 --> 01:45:10,250 Honestly, the bag's 1699 01:45:10,250 --> 01:45:11,333 about the size of the dog, 1700 01:45:11,333 --> 01:45:15,041 so I don't think that's our culprit, but. 1701 01:45:15,041 --> 01:45:15,250 Yeah. 1702 01:45:15,708 --> 01:45:17,000 I know, so we're a little bit delayed, 1703 01:45:17,000 --> 01:45:18,041 but it was a really, 1704 01:45:18,041 --> 01:45:19,750 really nice family day, 1705 01:45:19,750 --> 01:45:22,500 a way to cap off what was a weekend 1706 01:45:22,500 --> 01:45:24,000 that was filled with some excitement, 1707 01:45:25,333 --> 01:45:26,166 but then get back to 1708 01:45:26,166 --> 01:45:28,375 just hanging out together. 1709 01:45:29,208 --> 01:45:29,833 I think another reason 1710 01:45:29,833 --> 01:45:30,541 why we haven't watched 1711 01:45:30,541 --> 01:45:32,791 as many movies lately is 1712 01:45:32,791 --> 01:45:34,083 our kids have really been 1713 01:45:34,500 --> 01:45:35,833 asking for more family dinners, 1714 01:45:36,708 --> 01:45:39,083 and they've been asking to 1715 01:45:39,083 --> 01:45:40,208 sit around the dinner table, 1716 01:45:40,291 --> 01:45:42,083 which warms my heart. 1717 01:45:42,791 --> 01:45:43,916 Yeah, and I didn't finish that, 1718 01:45:44,083 --> 01:45:45,833 or we'll do like a family game night. 1719 01:45:45,916 --> 01:45:46,208 Yes. 1720 01:45:46,208 --> 01:45:46,833 We'll do that a lot. 1721 01:45:46,833 --> 01:45:47,333 Yep. 1722 01:45:47,375 --> 01:45:48,500 In the game room there, so. 1723 01:45:49,500 --> 01:45:50,583 So yeah, just anytime 1724 01:45:50,583 --> 01:45:51,625 we get some family time, 1725 01:45:51,625 --> 01:45:52,666 and I do feel bad, 1726 01:45:52,666 --> 01:45:53,625 because there's a lot of times 1727 01:45:54,208 --> 01:45:55,625 when some of our sports families, 1728 01:45:56,208 --> 01:45:57,541 you know, will get a practice canceled 1729 01:45:57,916 --> 01:45:58,708 or something like that, 1730 01:45:58,708 --> 01:45:59,291 and somebody will 1731 01:45:59,291 --> 01:46:00,333 want to set something up 1732 01:46:00,500 --> 01:46:01,625 to replace that practice. 1733 01:46:02,000 --> 01:46:02,208 Yeah. 1734 01:46:02,875 --> 01:46:05,250 And, you know, I don't know if it's, 1735 01:46:05,541 --> 01:46:06,541 you know, maybe they have less kids, 1736 01:46:06,583 --> 01:46:07,291 maybe they have more kids, 1737 01:46:07,291 --> 01:46:07,583 maybe they're just 1738 01:46:07,583 --> 01:46:08,666 more dedicated than us, 1739 01:46:08,666 --> 01:46:09,750 but there's times where we're like, 1740 01:46:09,750 --> 01:46:11,666 if we're canceled, man, 1741 01:46:11,666 --> 01:46:12,541 we want to take advantage 1742 01:46:12,541 --> 01:46:13,708 of the family time. 1743 01:46:13,750 --> 01:46:14,000 Yeah. 1744 01:46:14,750 --> 01:46:15,708 And even if it's just 1745 01:46:15,708 --> 01:46:16,666 watching a movie together 1746 01:46:16,666 --> 01:46:18,291 or hanging out, whatever it might be, 1747 01:46:18,916 --> 01:46:20,458 being all together, all five of us, 1748 01:46:20,458 --> 01:46:20,916 it just doesn't 1749 01:46:20,916 --> 01:46:22,000 happen that often anymore. 1750 01:46:22,416 --> 01:46:22,791 Right. 1751 01:46:22,833 --> 01:46:24,250 And so, a lot of times, 1752 01:46:24,333 --> 01:46:26,208 we'll choose not to do that 1753 01:46:26,208 --> 01:46:28,333 extracurricular with the team 1754 01:46:28,583 --> 01:46:29,291 or with somebody else, 1755 01:46:29,458 --> 01:46:30,458 because we're trying to 1756 01:46:30,458 --> 01:46:31,333 take advantage of those times 1757 01:46:31,333 --> 01:46:32,958 that are fleeting, sadly. 1758 01:46:33,500 --> 01:46:35,875 They are, and not only are they fleeting, 1759 01:46:35,958 --> 01:46:36,916 they're just so

--> 01:46:42,500 and, you know, kind of any excuse. 1764 01:46:42,500 --> 01:46:43,083 Like tonight, we 1765 01:46:43,083 --> 01:46:44,583 actually had a free night, 1766 01:46:44,583 --> 01:46:45,166
