Melissa Shere Beek:This is a special treat for our viewers, our special guest appearance by MASON. This is the blondie's husband. He loves to get a shout out on the SISTER episode. So much so that I gave him choices on ideas that are coming on, and he decided instead of anything else, he wanted to be a part of SISTER Sessions too. I love it.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:He crashed our party
Melissa Shere Beek:He crushed our party, but I think he's here to be validated because I think he wants people to see that the experiences that he says he has, know, daily. They're like the real deal. No. That they're absolutely true.
Melissa Shere Beek:Oh, yeah. He's out there telling people.
Mason Sharpe:I also wanna point out my side.
Melissa Shere Beek:Oh. Oh, that's
Jessica Shere Coggins:gonna be good too.
Melissa Shere Beek:Defense. Okay. So he's here to confirm stories and get the inside scoop and to defend
Mason Sharpe:Yes.
Melissa Shere Beek:Himself. But first, I wanted to start about really the reality of you marrying into a very matriarchal family. Because so Doug had an older sister, which I thank God for every single day. And and he he met Sam and Jess when they were, like, 13 and 16. And so he and he wasn't fazed by them.
Melissa Shere Beek:He wasn't fazed by what his sister did. He wasn't fazed by our daughters or anything like that. And even when Stella when Doug would fall asleep, you know, and Stella would do a full face of makeup on him, and he would wake up and go into whatever city we were going into, like, totally made over. Nothing fazed him. Yeah.
Melissa Shere Beek:But you you had a brother. You did not you did not come did not come from a world of women like this. So we wanna know since you didn't come from, like, a long line of loud mouth, strong opinion, unedited unedited, unfiltered women. I can't wait. All of us, we we have some questions.
Jessica Shere Coggins:You didn't prep. Are you ready?
Mason Sharpe:Yeah. Go for it.
Jessica Shere Coggins:No. He got no prepping everyone. Do you
Melissa Shere Beek:have anything you wanna say before we start?
Samantha Shere Sharpe:How much you love me?
Jessica Shere Coggins:How great of a family we are.
Mason Sharpe:This just feels like normal.
Jessica Shere Coggins:And I'm your favorite sister-in-law.
Melissa Shere Beek:This is normal.
Mason Sharpe:I used to this. This is like starting off when I first got into the family, obviously, it's a little different.
Melissa Shere Beek:Right.
Mason Sharpe:You know, because you guys don't come usually like one at a time. You do as a group.
Melissa Shere Beek:A package deal. And
Mason Sharpe:then like, depending on what you say, this one sister and the other sister's aware and they'll report you like, do you believe that Mason said this? And then and then they come back and they question you. It's
Melissa Shere Beek:It's a lot.
Mason Sharpe:So this year, I only got three of you. So this is this is Yeah.
Melissa Shere Beek:So this is much calmer Yeah. Situation. Yeah. So I was gonna ask you, what was your initial thought about all of us when you first met Sam?
Mason Sharpe:I was trying to think, like, when is the first time I met all of you together? I don't really remember, but I'm just trying to think in pieces. I really didn't have a problem. I know that we went to, like, a lot of family events where, like, it's not just you guys or your immediate family, but you also have your little aunties and stuff like that and their family and their kids too. So
Melissa Shere Beek:It was aunts, cousins, grandmothers, grandmothers, grandmothers, auntie Joe, auntie Yeah. Oh, yeah. The Tantas . Yeah. Extended family.
Mason Sharpe:Yeah. And we had for some reason, we always had these events and we I would see all of them and all you know, like 12 of them, all huddled up and they interview you
Samantha Shere Sharpe:Yeah.
Mason Sharpe:Until you get certain answers out of you and stuff like that. So I was bombarded. But I mean, the toughest one is your mother.
Melissa Shere Beek:Absolutely. Like
Mason Sharpe:what happened after we got married, but I can say that for later on.
Melissa Shere Beek:Okay. Yeah. Please do. We want the dirt on that too. The first time I remember all of us being all in your business is when you had an accident
Mason Sharpe:Oh, yeah.
Melissa Shere Beek:With the elbow to the head. And I called a friend of mine to
Samantha Shere Sharpe:What what oh. Can't say his name. I forgot his name the other night.
Mason Sharpe:Yeah. I couldn't remember.
Melissa Shere Beek:Cassel. Cassel. Yes. He was wonderful. John Cassel.
Melissa Shere Beek:Amazing. Love him. Right. So he came to, like, do plastic surgery on your face. And I just remember you were in the hospital bed and
Jessica Shere Coggins:I don't think I was around.
Melissa Shere Beek:Showed up. You weren't there? Oh, it was me and Sam and mom and, like, cousins and aunts and grandparents and your parents and everything like that. And I remember you were laughing because I think all of us were talking at the same time over your head, over your face, looking at your eyebrows.
Mason Sharpe:Yeah. Couldn't really move around. And I just had everyone, like, behind me and on the side talking about giving different opinions. And it's, oh my god. Look how bad
Melissa Shere Beek:it is. Well, your head was dented in.
Mason Sharpe:Well, that's what happened. It was at University of Miami. Yeah. And I I was playing basketball and someone with a sharp elbow hit me right in the forehead. And I had I called Samantha.
Melissa Shere Beek:And I said, Samantha,
Mason Sharpe:I got a dent in my head. And she's like, stop playing around with me. Like, seriously, like I'm
Melissa Shere Beek:like Was it bad? It was so bad. My friend was a dentist. Surgeon. He just sat in his face.
Mason Sharpe:Fractured my front door.
Melissa Shere Beek:That's the way you are. Okay? So, you
Mason Sharpe:know, it makes sense.
Melissa Shere Beek:I'm just kidding. I adore you.
Mason Sharpe:I'm kidding. So I actually it was at Um's, like, health center. Yeah. And I was over at the front desk.
Melissa Shere Beek:I had

Samantha Shere Sharpe:married at the time? No. We nobody got engaged right after because he was afraid he was gonna be we'll tell them the story.
Melissa Shere Beek:Oh, thought you're gonna be deformed? Yeah. Didn't know what to expect.
Mason Sharpe:Is that
Melissa Shere Beek:why you proposed to her? No. She stuck around. No.
Mason Sharpe:Because you do this operation and then afterwards, you don't
Melissa Shere Beek:know what you're gonna do obligated because I brought a plastic surgeon and she got a surgical team.

Melissa Shere Beek:He knows each of us.
Mason Sharpe:He does
Melissa Shere Beek:too. Okay. So what do you think about the sisters? Like, what have you learned from us?
Samantha Shere Sharpe:Oh, god.
Melissa Shere Beek:He takes it deep.
Jessica Shere Coggins:He's not sure.
Melissa Shere Beek:He's I
Mason Sharpe:don't know where to go. Like, I don't know what like, what like, you and obviously, like, all three of you are so different.
Melissa Shere Beek:And How?
Mason Sharpe:You don't well No.
Melissa Shere Beek:You don't know? She's just quitting But
Mason Sharpe:like, Melissa, you're you're the one that's like more level headed, calm. Like, you've never see I've never seen you shout before.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:Yeah. I don't yell.
Mason Sharpe:You're right. Whereas Jessica, a little bit.
Melissa Shere Beek:But your wife She's your wife is the screamer.
Jessica Shere Coggins:Nobody's talking about us too as sister.
Melissa Shere Beek:Oh, okay. Sorry. Go ahead. Sister in laws. Why don't you work from us?
Samantha Shere Sharpe:Out laws.
Jessica Shere Coggins:Keep going.
Mason Sharpe:No. There's a lot there's a lot of drama and stuff like that. And there's always something to talk about. Like, you guys never had, like, a family meeting and it's just quiet. It just doesn't happen.
Mason Sharpe:Right?
Jessica Shere Coggins:So it won't work that way.
Mason Sharpe:One of you always has to have some issue that you need your sister's advice. And you and you and you always have different opinions, each of you though. So it's always good. So you get like both sides. So like when Samantha has an issue, you speak to you, to your mom, to Jessica.
Melissa Shere Beek:Can't speak to mom.
Mason Sharpe:All three of you have different issues.
Melissa Shere Beek:Matthew just calls us for for issues dissolving.
Mason Sharpe:Yeah.
Melissa Shere Beek:Oh, god. That's so funny.
Mason Sharpe:But Jessica's, like, changed, like, dramatically, you know. Like, because, like, when I met her, it was, like, when you were She still in was
Melissa Shere Beek:a baby.
Jessica Shere Coggins:Right. Yeah. Was young.
Mason Sharpe:Yeah. No kids and stuff like that. And so, like, it's amazing to see how, like, your transformation and stuff like that.
Jessica Shere Coggins:You. I take it it's a good one. No. It's a great It's very nice.
Melissa Shere Beek:Okay. So then different from what the sisters taught you, we know Aiden exists, but having daughters, what have People don't know that Aiden exists, though. No. They don't. They don't.
Melissa Shere Beek:I'm talking about women, and I don't wanna leave out the boys. But, like, what have your daughters taught you? Oh, god.
Mason Sharpe:Oh, man.
Jessica Shere Coggins:And they're both so different. Oh, yeah.
Mason Sharpe:Yeah. It's really tough to to describe it, like, It's right off the just they're unique. They're unique. They both started off, like, you know, loving drama. They were in Miami Children's Theater.
Melissa Shere Beek:Right.
Mason Sharpe:And one feeded off the other one. Stella started it, and then Bria followed her in her footsteps.
Melissa Shere Beek:Right. Usually what the little sister does.
Mason Sharpe:Yeah. And then, I think I don't know if it was when Stella turned 13 or it was before. Stella went into early retirement. She no longer she just said, I'm no longer in drama anymore.
Melissa Shere Beek:Right.
Mason Sharpe:And she went off and just relaxed and did her own thing and stuff like that. And then Bria found sports, which I was okay with. Because like with drama, it's I love them being in there, but I don't have like a real connection and stuff
Melissa Shere Beek:like that.
Mason Sharpe:That's why had to like take pictures to stay awake.
Melissa Shere Beek:Right. Oh, the truth comes out. I love that. That's how you got into photography.
Mason Sharpe:Focus on on the shows
Melissa Shere Beek:is the fact The shows were pretty bad. Sorry. Oh, not the girls.
Mason Sharpe:They're crazy. When you're
Jessica Shere Coggins:watching I loved watching the girls.
Melissa Shere Beek:Don't get me wrong.
Mason Sharpe:And the funny ones are really good. Yeah. But then you get some that are very it's like watching Cats, like
Melissa Shere Beek:Yes.
Mason Sharpe:Samantha tried getting me to watch Cats. It it was one of the worst things I've ever seen.
Melissa Shere Beek:She didn't make you watch that role in one two.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:I went to it myself.
Mason Sharpe:She went and went No.
Melissa Shere Beek:Not Cats. This is another one.
Jessica Shere Coggins:It's the sorry. She called me before she goes
Melissa Shere Beek:No. No. No. No.
Mason Sharpe:So but it's hard because each daughter wants you to feel like they're the most important. So there's always times where I'll have, like, Stella telling
Samantha Shere Sharpe:me There was a time where Stella got ahold of his Instagram page Yeah. And basically went through them all. Brea, Brea, Brea, Brea, Brea, Brea, Brea, Brea, Where's me? Brea, Brea, Brea. Like, his in and and she was right.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:Oh, course. Instagram post was Brea.
Melissa Shere Beek:Yes.
Mason Sharpe:And she
Samantha Shere Sharpe:was like
Melissa Shere Beek:Is that because you're at the sports game?
Samantha Shere Sharpe:Yes. And taking pictures to stay at. Which we tried to explain to her and we say to her
Mason Sharpe:There's also another reason.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:We say, Stella, it's not always about you. In fact, she wore that shirt for her 20 birthday.
Jessica Shere Coggins:I loved it. She rocked it. She got it that day and wore it, and I loved it.
Mason Sharpe:Yeah. I But but the reason why I had all these pictures of Brie and then of Stella Alright.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:There is
Melissa Shere Beek:a is question. Yeah.
Mason Sharpe:Because I would take pictures of Stella, and every time I'd post it, she'd call me up right dad, take that down.
Melissa Shere Beek:Yeah. That's true
Jessica Shere Coggins:too. That's It
Mason Sharpe:is like restrictions. It's impossible to post photos of Stella. Bria was like, yeah, post whatever you want.
Melissa Shere Beek:No. She's a little picky too.
Mason Sharpe:But a lot
Jessica Shere Coggins:of
Melissa Shere Beek:people Not like Stella though.
Mason Sharpe:So Stella basically put a ban on photos and then she complains, why don't you take pictures of me? Because she wants to be famous.
Melissa Shere Beek:What have you learned from these two girls?
Samantha Shere Sharpe:Oh, we're still learning.
Mason Sharpe:Yeah. I don't think anything
Melissa Shere Beek:That's a good answer.
Mason Sharpe:Oh, wow. I think I learned also is, like, for Stella. Like, my brother, we used to get in fights all the time.
Melissa Shere Beek:Uh-huh.
Mason Sharpe:But we became best friends when I went away to college because I didn't see him as much.
Melissa Shere Beek:Right. No. You have Shane. Is the relationship more?
Mason Sharpe:But Stella, it was butting heads with her when she was living in a house in high school and stuff like that. Didn't get a lot of things with her.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:They became best
Jessica Shere Coggins:friends with someone.
Mason Sharpe:But when she left for college, it was, you know, she changed.
Melissa Shere Beek:Well, the dynamic and everything. And she matured. Yeah. She did.
Mason Sharpe:And Shere was, like, unbelievably, like, so amazing.
Melissa Shere Beek:Oh, that's nice.
Mason Sharpe:Samantha went away with Bria and I was just there with Stella. And I'm thinking, okay, maybe I'll just let her do her thing. I'll be up in my room. I'll watch TV or whatever. She's like, oh, dad, come let's watch a show.
Mason Sharpe:And every day, we watch it was just
Melissa Shere Beek:Oh, that's nice.
Mason Sharpe:Really impressive.
Melissa Shere Beek:It's cool when they get older. Yeah. It's it's good to hang.
Mason Sharpe:Times where they say they're like, when you when you don't see someone on a daily basis and stuff like that, then you get along better or Yeah.
Melissa Shere Beek:Because you appreciate what you have.
Jessica Shere Coggins:Absent May summer. Yeah.
Melissa Shere Beek:That's what I'm
Mason Sharpe:looking for. See? I know your stuff. Glad So you're
Melissa Shere Beek:I'm very I'm very smart. When we talk to each other and when we when we talk, there is no filter between all of us. Like, we say things as they are. Is there were you ever embarrassed about our candidness? Did you ever, like, come into our conversations and be like, holy shit.
Melissa Shere Beek:I cannot believe that they are talking about that.
Jessica Shere Coggins:Oh, I probably say
Mason Sharpe:a lot. I don't know. I have to I don't remember right now. I don't I'm trying to think Do you remember the Do you remember anything, Sam?
Melissa Shere Beek:Yes. Do you remember the time we were at your house and the guys were watching a game? Because it was the old house. So we were all around the kitchen island, and the guys were sort of off to the side watching a game. And it was a soccer game, and one of the guy's things fell out of his pants.
Melissa Shere Beek:So we were watching it
Jessica Shere Coggins:One of his things fell out of his pants?
Samantha Shere Sharpe:His penis? That's the only thing I
Melissa Shere Beek:took from all that. His penis fell out of his pants. Oh, it was? Right. Yeah.
Melissa Shere Beek:So we were watching it on repeat, laughing. And, like, all of us do you remember this?
Samantha Shere Sharpe:I remember, but I don't know what house that was in there.
Melissa Shere Beek:That was your old house. We the one that was closer to me. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Melissa Shere Beek:I remember that happening. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There you go.
Melissa Shere Beek:Do you remember that? No. No. He's just not even on the yeah. Yeah.
Melissa Shere Beek:Yeah. Oh, yeah. No. So anyway, I just remember laughing, and we're talking about like, and we talk about things. We talk about penises.
Melissa Shere Beek:We talk about, like, other body parts. We talk about, like, like, everything out there. And I and sometimes you guys would, like, walk through the room, and then just, like, I would see your eyeballs roll back and then you just, like, keep walking through or you'd go back to where the guys were hanging out. And I wondered if our candid disc just, like, threw you for a loop or you're so, like
Mason Sharpe:I think the one thing that still amazes me is your shopping math skills, especially Samantha Okay.
Melissa Shere Beek:I have that down here.
Mason Sharpe:Yeah. And your mother.
Melissa Shere Beek:Not mine, because I'm not a shopper.
Mason Sharpe:Because I remember
Melissa Shere Beek:Your wife.
Mason Sharpe:Well, no. It was Samantha and and Ruthie.
Melissa Shere Beek:Uh-huh.
Mason Sharpe:They were at it was, like, Bell Harbor or something like that, and they were gonna buy something, and they had the the person who's ringing them up said, oh, you have a gift certificate or you have a credit of x amount. Do you wanna use it? And for, like, me, like, okay, if you don't use it now, you're gonna forget it. Use it now. They're like, oh, no.
Mason Sharpe:No. It's better to save it for a special occasion or when you have something more expensive. Yes. Yes. See?
Mason Sharpe:I don't get it.
Melissa Shere Beek:I agree.
Mason Sharpe:I would use it.
Jessica Shere Coggins:But but like, maybe you want something bigger and you don't have the money at that point. So use it towards then, then you don't have to pay as much. Maybe they have more money at that point. No.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:It's because you wanna buy a more expensive item, but you don't want him
Melissa Shere Beek:to know how
Samantha Shere Sharpe:expensive it is. So you take the credit so he thinks that you really bought a
Jessica Shere Coggins:stuff. Coming from a true shopper.
Melissa Shere Beek:This I want you to see in my notes. It says, so Sam when Sam gets into something, she gets into 200%. And that Sam is a super shopper and, like, a big time shopper. And Mason had to explain to her that just because you return things doesn't mean that you have more money to spend in the store.
Mason Sharpe:Yeah. That actually happened over this weekend or on Monday when we were over in
Melissa Shere Beek:Okay. One time Sam called me and she was really upset. And she started crying because she said she thought that you thought that she was having an affair with the UPS man.
Mason Sharpe:Oh, yeah.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:Did you really? Yes.
Melissa Shere Beek:He did.
Mason Sharpe:That's right. But the thing is
Melissa Shere Beek:Because he delivered. I know. They stood every single day. Then she gave him a holiday gift. But she also gave a holiday gift to, like, the postal guy and, take She was sleeping with all of them.
Melissa Shere Beek:And then
Mason Sharpe:I remember too, back in the day in the falls, like, when you take your kids, like, for Halloween
Samantha Shere Sharpe:Oh, god. He still talks about this.
Mason Sharpe:Yeah. When you go into the Halloween, you have to go to each store. Oh, jeez. Every store you go into, oh, hi, Samantha. Like, when they they work there and they know you by your first name, it's not a
Melissa Shere Beek:good sign. That's a problem.
Mason Sharpe:You know?
Melissa Shere Beek:Yeah. That's a Mason problem. Because your wife is the shopper. Oh, no. He did something really good the other day.
Melissa Shere Beek:Why? What'd you do, May? What did you do?
Mason Sharpe:I don't know.
Jessica Shere Coggins:He found out that Samantha had returned.
Melissa Shere Beek:Oh. And so
Jessica Shere Coggins:he drove her to make sure not to make sure, but keep her company. He
Samantha Shere Sharpe:made sure.
Melissa Shere Beek:I thought that was very smart of him. Do you know why he did that? Because like I just said because she won't go return it. No. No.
Melissa Shere Beek:No. She'll have credit in the store spend and then spend more.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:No. It goes back to the card.
Mason Sharpe:Normally, she's embarrassed.
Melissa Shere Beek:It's not how she does it.
Mason Sharpe:She's embarrassed about doing returns.
Melissa Shere Beek:Are you killing it? No.
Mason Sharpe:Well, that's your excuse that you wanted me to go to
Melissa Shere Beek:the store. No. No. I want you to
Samantha Shere Sharpe:go to the store because I had an online and an in store purchase. So if you did the in store while I did the online, we would get it done faster.
Melissa Shere Beek:Yeah. Oh, that's what we're going with.
Mason Sharpe:That's where we're going.
Melissa Shere Beek:But she didn't mention
Mason Sharpe:which I don't mind returning because that way, at least I'm recouping some money. Right? But she thinks it's like an opportunity to start spending.
Melissa Shere Beek:Not think she knows.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:This is
Melissa Shere Beek:just the place in the store.
Jessica Shere Coggins:Yeah. I'm returning, but I also get.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:And I wanna look around.
Jessica Shere Coggins:Not me. I'm not a shopper.
Melissa Shere Beek:But Mason's point is because you return it doesn't mean you now have credit in the store to buy more and get more things. Return it and get the money back on the credit card.
Mason Sharpe:That's why I like returning it by myself because it get it it's temptation. She's like impulse buyer. So when she's around
Melissa Shere Beek:something Next question. Yeah. Okay.
Jessica Shere Coggins:You that's like your one thing though.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:What? Shopping? Yeah. But
Melissa Shere Beek:That's okay.
Mason Sharpe:Other things too. But shopping is okay.
Melissa Shere Beek:We'll get to that later. Okay. Something you still don't get about the three of us that still confuses you?
Mason Sharpe:I'm not prepared for this. I don't but I don't get
Melissa Shere Beek:It makes you think.
Mason Sharpe:I'll have to get back to you
Melissa Shere Beek:on that. Okay. Give me the
Mason Sharpe:next question. I'm trying
Melissa Shere Beek:to Something think that shows that our maiden name is showing up, like there's oh, that's definitely Shere sisters. That's like that's them.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:But last night at back to school night, I used the Shere. Like, I'm one of the Shere girls.
Melissa Shere Beek:Who'd you say that to? No. But when we're together and we behave a certain way that he definitely says, oh, that's them.
Mason Sharpe:No. Because you guys are so much different than like, when I think of this year, it would be like your mother. Like,
Melissa Shere Beek:how much are
Mason Sharpe:you like your mother?
Melissa Shere Beek:Oh, god.
Mason Sharpe:And I don't see it.
Melissa Shere Beek:Yeah. Okay. We're all very different.
Mason Sharpe:That's why I don't really it's not like, wow, that that reminds
Melissa Shere Beek:me of us. Okay. Okay. So there's there's nothing that you just that you just don't get about us still?
Mason Sharpe:Don't think he has He
Samantha Shere Sharpe:has to get us. Like, that's it.
Melissa Shere Beek:He just goes with the flow now. I feel. I feel like you do go with the
Mason Sharpe:flow. Yeah. A lot. Like, I I was He
Jessica Shere Coggins:wants to prove his point.
Mason Sharpe:Because it's my anniversary or our anniversary is
Melissa Shere Beek:recently My anniversary is it's your anniversary, man.
Mason Sharpe:And it's also football season, so I have a nice little story that I had a connection about. And it's dealing with shopping.
Melissa Shere Beek:Okay. So I can blend it all in.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:He is really good with analogies, I'm not sure how where
Melissa Shere Beek:this one's gonna go. It's gonna be good.
Mason Sharpe:So shortly after we got married we got married, obviously, in September. Then, you know, a month later, it's football season.
Melissa Shere Beek:Mhmm.
Mason Sharpe:So I'm okay with that. They like, you know, on weekends Who's today?
Samantha Shere Sharpe:You. Me.
Mason Sharpe:Yeah. No. It was
Melissa Shere Beek:My mother.
Mason Sharpe:On the weekends, apparently, it's meant for shopping, according to her mom and Samantha. So on on weekends for me, Saturdays is college football and Sundays is pro football. So I would stay home. And then apparently, I don't know, out in your family, because your dad used to do it too, that if the women go shopping, the men have to join them.
Melissa Shere Beek:Yeah. I'm not a shopper.
Mason Sharpe:Didn't understand that. Doesn't happen. So Ruthie and Samantha explained to me, they said, no, when we shop, we need you to go. And I'm like, well, I got football. And she's like, no, I need you to go.
Mason Sharpe:So I'm forced, because I don't wanna be a bad person. So I go
Jessica Shere Coggins:I feel like shopping he forced into a lot of things.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:I think
Melissa Shere Beek:so too.
Mason Sharpe:And then I decided, okay, what I'm gonna be is, is gonna be the biggest pain, shopping, and complaining the whole time. And then at the end of
Melissa Shere Beek:I'll the trip it this way, they don't want you anymore.
Mason Sharpe:Yeah. And Ruthie's like, you are the horrible shopper. I do not want you with us anymore. You're only the kids. So for because before she was telling me, she's like, the weekends are my shopping.
Mason Sharpe:It is not fair for you to take up a Saturday and a Sunday for football.
Melissa Shere Beek:She said this shit.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:Yeah. She was like against
Melissa Shere Beek:She would've never pulled this shit with
Samantha Shere Sharpe:my husband. To pick one or the other.
Mason Sharpe:Yeah. Either you're a college fan or a pool fan. You can't both. You can't be Saturday or Sunday. You need to it's one or the other.
Melissa Shere Beek:That's so funny.
Mason Sharpe:So I had to ruin her shopping experience, and then I got to stay home on the weekends.
Melissa Shere Beek:Goal and see. Not footballing. Yeah.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:Goal and see. Walks out before he goes to work explaining,
Melissa Shere Beek:I got football on tonight. I'm like, really? It's so exciting for them.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:My god. It's every
Melissa Shere Beek:single day. Yeah. They look forward to it.
Mason Sharpe:They are spreading it out.
Melissa Shere Beek:My next question was gonna be how do you handle your favorite mother-in-law? Oh, jeez. But that was a prime example.
Mason Sharpe:Yeah. No.
Melissa Shere Beek:That was an old example. Okay. Is there a new example?
Mason Sharpe:It's changed over time and stuff like that. I guess, before, we used to go to a lot more family events and stuff like that. So we're always around and
Melissa Shere Beek:Right.
Mason Sharpe:And and more issues. But now with our kids gone Yeah. And only, you know, one kid remaining,
Melissa Shere Beek:it's Yeah. The vibe changed a little. Yeah. Yeah. Think I mean, there's less of us getting together.
Melissa Shere Beek:No. But between him and mom, regarding your question. Okay. Think Mason now, like,
Samantha Shere Sharpe:Dad's knows to play a not here, so it's like, you know, it's different.
Mason Sharpe:The one thing I do know that I remember that is a problem for me that I had to get used to
Samantha Shere Sharpe:Is it early dinners?
Mason Sharpe:No. It's the leaving the dinners part.
Jessica Shere Coggins:Oh, takes forever. Perfect.
Melissa Shere Beek:That's your wife.
Mason Sharpe:Yeah. She specializes in that.
Jessica Shere Coggins:She talks to everyone.
Melissa Shere Beek:Yeah. Jessica says, I'm out. They she walks right through the front door. I'm out. She doesn't say anything.
Melissa Shere Beek:And you don't even know she's left until thirty minutes later.
Mason Sharpe:Yeah. No. I have to give her a twenty minute head start to start seeing her gossip.
Melissa Shere Beek:Probably, like,
Jessica Shere Coggins:a half an hour.
Melissa Shere Beek:I was gonna say a
Samantha Shere Sharpe:little longer.
Jessica Shere Coggins:And if you're at a public event, forget it. You gotta give her, like, an hour warning.
Melissa Shere Beek:You should've just taken a separate card.
Jessica Shere Coggins:You were?
Mason Sharpe:I walked out.
Melissa Shere Beek:Did? Yeah. I'm so proud of you.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:Was that good? Last night when we left back to school night, I I walked right I really did not
Melissa Shere Beek:stop. Yeah.
Mason Sharpe:Was that accidental or unperfect?
Melissa Shere Beek:No. I was just
Samantha Shere Sharpe:getting out of there.
Jessica Shere Coggins:Was good. She's like, bitch, I'm gone. Okay.
Melissa Shere Beek:So what she pulled a Jessica. Yeah. So we're talking about, like, what's normal and not normal. I have something we're gonna do in a minute. But my last question to you specifically is, like, what what is normal in your house that you never thought would be if you heard somebody else say it?
Melissa Shere Beek:Oh, there must be a lot. Sorry.
Mason Sharpe:Oh. Sandy, anything? I'm trying to think of
Melissa Shere Beek:Why you always refer to her to
Mason Sharpe:I'm to remember, like, what
Melissa Shere Beek:because he knows I'm in charge of the house.
Mason Sharpe:But still, they all love watching the reality TV shows and
Melissa Shere Beek:Okay.
Mason Sharpe:I just don't get it. Like, there's a couple. Fine.
Melissa Shere Beek:But But I thought you liked the reality shows too.
Mason Sharpe:Some. But they're they're extremes, especially, like, Stella with her
Samantha Shere Sharpe:Love Island.
Mason Sharpe:Love Island.
Melissa Shere Beek:Oh, that shit's ridiculous. Right.
Jessica Shere Coggins:Yeah. My guy doesn't like reality shows either. I'll watch them. He's the
Melissa Shere Beek:same way. Like, he just
Jessica Shere Coggins:doesn't understand the point of it.
Melissa Shere Beek:I'm not a reality show person either. I watch Survivor and I watch
Jessica Shere Coggins:That's reality. Someone's
Melissa Shere Beek:leg got chopped off. I the in the other one, then in not the American one. But Oh. But no. That Love Island shit and stuff like that
Jessica Shere Coggins:I love
Melissa Shere Beek:it. Talking like the psychological aspects of things. I like Dancing With The Stars though too. So those are two realities. Yeah.
Melissa Shere Beek:But I'm And the Great British Bake Off. Those are the only three realities.
Mason Sharpe:But maybe I should take it back. The reality shows are better because before that, she used to watch the ones about like the how the women kill their husbands with knives and
Melissa Shere Beek:stuff those are the best.
Mason Sharpe:Snap. Right? So this is probably safer.
Jessica Shere Coggins:Oh, Snap was good, but the episodes weren't long enough.
Melissa Shere Beek:Oh, my god. I don't I've never even heard of that.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:Oh, yeah. Those are women who kill.
Jessica Shere Coggins:It's woman it's like their boyfriend
Melissa Shere Beek:and partner. What's going on in your house? No. Why is she a much Milo or Mason?
Mason Sharpe:It's a reality show or better.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:Wait. What was the question? I forgot what the question was.
Melissa Shere Beek:Like, what's normal in your house that you would never think if you heard somebody say, like, that shit goes on? Like
Jessica Shere Coggins:Oh my god. I'm sure it's probably so many I throughout the
Melissa Shere Beek:don't think. Okay. So we have a little game we're gonna play with you. It's about, like, what's normal and what's not normal in your house. I
Samantha Shere Sharpe:have mine here.
Melissa Shere Beek:You have yours. Okay. So the first question is Wait.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:Is this this?
Melissa Shere Beek:Yeah. Yeah. Is this this? Is this this?
Mason Sharpe:I thought we're all having conversation. I didn't know it was all team up, but
Jessica Shere Coggins:you guys seem No.
Melissa Shere Beek:We're not teaming up against you, but we're answering these questions with you and you can answer them too. But we're gonna vote.
Mason Sharpe:Okay.
Melissa Shere Beek:Well, I'm gonna say something and you're we're gonna say if it's a Sammy situation, like something your wife would do or if it's a Mason move or something you would do. Bubba, you can keep talking. Oh, okay. Wait. Did it erase?
Jessica Shere Coggins:Yeah. Of course, it did.
Melissa Shere Beek:I know. Go for they're not professionally done by Samantha.
Mason Sharpe:Who made these?
Melissa Shere Beek:I made these because your wife didn't answer the phone for the last month about it. So
Mason Sharpe:You only gave her a month to do this?
Jessica Shere Coggins:I only gave her month to
Melissa Shere Beek:come up with a paddle.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:I think I was, like, in denial. You were actually coming on this.
Melissa Shere Beek:I think she was hoping that you weren't showing, so she didn't have to make the paddles. So you got the dry erase board version. You got the you That's okay.
Jessica Shere Coggins:These are cute.
Melissa Shere Beek:They're okay. I figured we could use these in a in another time. I just wait. Okay. Yeah.
Melissa Shere Beek:Having a 100 candles stashed hidden all around the house.
Jessica Shere Coggins:That's Sammy.
Mason Sharpe:Oh, yeah. 100 That's me. You don't even need my answer. Like, that's Autumn. That I don't get either because we we
Samantha Shere Sharpe:Oh, she has some to
Melissa Shere Beek:pick up around the corner.
Mason Sharpe:But when we moved
Melissa Shere Beek:to the new house, Do you really? Yes. Yes. Oh, my god. Shit, Sam.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:I ordered them before the summer. That's what she was calling soy delicious.
Mason Sharpe:But you know Oh,
Melissa Shere Beek:I thought you were doing it for, like, some event you were having. I didn't know you needed more
Samantha Shere Sharpe:for yourself. Big sale and I ordered
Mason Sharpe:it and I didn't
Melissa Shere Beek:get shipping.
Mason Sharpe:This guy
Melissa Shere Beek:was a
Jessica Shere Coggins:sale. You
Samantha Shere Sharpe:I saved you on shipping. I said I would pick it up, but I can't pick it up.
Melissa Shere Beek:This is like six months later.
Mason Sharpe:When we moved into the new house, one of things we got was Aroma three sixty. So we have the scent throughout the whole house.
Melissa Shere Beek:I know. I know.
Mason Sharpe:You don't need a candle because you have the scent. I'm paying for that.
Melissa Shere Beek:She needs the candles. It's still Yeah.
Jessica Shere Coggins:But it's not on. I was in
Melissa Shere Beek:the other day. It wasn't on. By only
Mason Sharpe:a certain time.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:Picked it up yesterday.
Melissa Shere Beek:It's now. Yeah.
Mason Sharpe:But, yeah, she stores it's just like like China. Like, you buy it just to store it.
Jessica Shere Coggins:That's like what mommy used to do.
Melissa Shere Beek:She used to buy or get
Jessica Shere Coggins:things and then give them back.
Mason Sharpe:And then when she lights it, she likes to light it and leave it on forever.
Melissa Shere Beek:And when she leaves the house, it's still on.
Mason Sharpe:It stays stays on.
Melissa Shere Beek:Yeah. That's so dangerous.
Mason Sharpe:And if I blow it out Oh my god. How can
Melissa Shere Beek:you When blow it you had cats But did you blow it out? I would smell smoke in your house because there were cats would go by and they would burn their tails.
Mason Sharpe:Yeah. That's why they call it cat smoky.
Melissa Shere Beek:Yeah. Speaking of China, I'm giggling my ass off because when you went and and I guess you must have been forced to go when you guys were engaged for Oh, god. My god. Remember
Samantha Shere Sharpe:didn't complain.
Melissa Shere Beek:Maybe now I understand why you complained. Because Samantha came home and was so upset that the Versace plates that she wanted, you would not allow because it had
Samantha Shere Sharpe:Anna. Bed bugs.
Melissa Shere Beek:It had a butterfly on it, and you didn't wanna eat on a plate that had bugs on it. I said to you you're not gonna see that. I said to you, you're never gonna see the butterfly on the Versace plate because there'll be food on the plate. But now I understand the reason you were doing those plates? She still has them.
Melissa Shere Beek:But now, I'm thinking, like, maybe you did this so that you could get out of shopping for the rest of your life.
Mason Sharpe:No. I wanna I just wanna correct you. Oh. It's not about that the bugs that don't worry about it because there'll be food on the plate. No.
Mason Sharpe:Those plates are stayed in the in the container. Yeah.
Jessica Shere Coggins:That's what happens when you use them.
Melissa Shere Beek:You were against them from day one.
Mason Sharpe:Though, what's the point? But the thing is now I wanna tell people, when you pick out China, do not base it on what the plates look like. Base it on what the boxes look like, because that's all you're gonna see.
Melissa Shere Beek:I know. That's true though. That's very true. You're supposed to use it. You should
Jessica Shere Coggins:use it. When? And you should use it every day. Otherwise, it just sits there.
Mason Sharpe:I'll try even using a regular, like, ceramic ones.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:She does
Mason Sharpe:And she said, no. No. We wanna
Melissa Shere Beek:use Yeah. But you gotta use
Samantha Shere Sharpe:them up. Otherwise, they sit like that. If I don't like to put things in the dishwasher.
Melissa Shere Beek:Oh, god. Love paper. Plastic cups and paper. No. I have gorgeous plates I use every day.
Melissa Shere Beek:I love There's too many transactions in my house.
Jessica Shere Coggins:Like, I need it easy.

Samantha Shere Sharpe:That was me, for sure. But you tell that story.
Mason Sharpe:I just remember she she had this thing like, when she buys something, she thinks you you have to get a lot. Otherwise, it doesn't count. So she bought, what, like a box or two Oh my other brand apples on QVC. Uh-huh. I didn't even know QVC.
Mason Sharpe:No one goes to didn't know
Melissa Shere Beek:that either.
Mason Sharpe:But she finds a way.

Jessica Shere Coggins:The one she's having an affair with.
Mason Sharpe:And he brings out
Samantha Shere Sharpe:They made a mistake. QVC, for some
Mason Sharpe:reason Supposedly

Melissa Shere Beek:But I wanna
Samantha Shere Sharpe:say, everybody's up. Like, it's gonna be of a
Mason Sharpe:different Yeah.
Jessica Shere Coggins:Meyer's so excited.
Mason Sharpe:The hard part is also, so I can throw on everyone in our whole family, it's there's they're they all have differences and things. So it's just like for every family, I think, too. Like, when you have a large group of people and you wanna go eat somewhere, everyone in your family has requirements, you know?
Melissa Shere Beek:It's very true. Do you remember the lady in Berlin said, it's like herding cats. Yeah. I I can't be You
Mason Sharpe:know, one's a vegetarian, one can't eat traef, and then your mom always speaks up on behalf of everyone and says, oh, we don't eat seafood.
Jessica Shere Coggins:Oh, it's like when they come and say, do you have allergies?
Melissa Shere Beek:And she's like, yes. We don't eat seafood. Right. Okay. But you have to understand, like, when we were in Japan or we're oh, no.
Melissa Shere Beek:We were also in in Amsterdam. And we ordered from the vegetarian side of the menu.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:She wasn't with us. This was
Melissa Shere Beek:my god.
Mason Sharpe:There was photos showing you what it looked like too.
Melissa Shere Beek:She's and but it said vegetarian. And it said all the vegetarian stuff that was in it. And it came.
Mason Sharpe:Oh my god.
Melissa Shere Beek:It was crunchy stuff on top.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:It I I
Jessica Shere Coggins:What was it?
Samantha Shere Sharpe:It was shrimp.
Melissa Shere Beek:It was shrimp.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:Holly screamed Oh, is that
Jessica Shere Coggins:when she's like, free the lobsters?
Melissa Shere Beek:No. No. That
Jessica Shere Coggins:was prime
Melissa Shere Beek:one twelve. Oh, Oh, was Hawaii.
Mason Sharpe:Hawaii.

Melissa Shere Beek:Was in She screamed when twelve. It was just the four of us in Hawaii. She screamed murder.
Mason Sharpe:Murder. Yeah.
Melissa Shere Beek:In rhyme when twelve, she screamed lobster killer. But I'm a vegetarian too. It's very upsetting. It's so upsetting. And we said it, like, 10,000,000 times.
Melissa Shere Beek:So, like, I get it. Like, you have to be especially when you're traveling in foreign under that table. We left the luau. Exactly. We left the luau.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:The Amsterdam restaurant. Every time I get it was tablecloth.
Melissa Shere Beek:I don't blame her. Literally wanted to meet people. I didn't die.
Mason Sharpe:She wanted to sue them.
Melissa Shere Beek:Upsetting. We're
Mason Sharpe:like, we're in a foreign country.
Melissa Shere Beek:It was so but it was upsetting because we went over, like, 20 times.
Mason Sharpe:But but it it reminds so now you're refreshing my memory. So there's two things. So so one, it would be we'd go to like a country that they specialize in a certain type of seafood.
Jessica Shere Coggins:Oh, we couldn't have But
Mason Sharpe:I wanna eat it.
Melissa Shere Beek:Okay. No. But you're eating haggis in Ireland.
Mason Sharpe:Oh, shit.
Melissa Shere Beek:You're eating it's she's intestine. Nobody wants to eat that for you.
Mason Sharpe:But I felt You
Melissa Shere Beek:ate it.
Mason Sharpe:You and Aiden
Melissa Shere Beek:But why not? That's what you're there for. Fine. He can have it
Samantha Shere Sharpe:with the rest of us.
Mason Sharpe:He can't
Melissa Shere Beek:you know he's done.
Mason Sharpe:Say we can't
Melissa Shere Beek:eat that.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:Right. He's grown leaps and
Jessica Shere Coggins:bounds because it was before she would
Melissa Shere Beek:be like, we don't eat seafood. And then he'd be like, well and then he would put his hand down. And then, like, over the years, it's like, I do and then finally
Jessica Shere Coggins:Now he orders what he wants, finally.
Melissa Shere Beek:Yeah. And Aiden, we go to any restaurant no matter where we are, and you guys order what people eat seafood. It's nice.
Mason Sharpe:Until the other thing too, you've been sticking up for me, but I'm not gonna throw you under, is back in the day, a long time ago, you've changed since then.
Melissa Shere Beek:Shere. I'm scared.
Mason Sharpe:You would go to a restaurant and I would order something that has
Jessica Shere Coggins:something to And
Melissa Shere Beek:I would Nobody wanted to sit next to me. I would call it out. I would be like
Mason Sharpe:Yeah. I would be away from your mom, so she wouldn't see. I would be on
Melissa Shere Beek:so You're far ratted on it.
Mason Sharpe:And she would like Jessica.
Melissa Shere Beek:Jessica. That's such a third kid. That's What such a are you eating over there? My god. That's such a Mom, look.
Melissa Shere Beek:That is so bad. I'm so sorry. Don't care what the hell you ate, but it was usually so smelly stinky that I didn't wanna be next to you because my hair smell.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:But I hope cares. Orders, never eats it, and takes it home.
Melissa Shere Beek:Who? You. Oh, yeah. You return everything you've ever It doesn't
Jessica Shere Coggins:taste like how I want it to taste.
Melissa Shere Beek:Returned everything you've ever ordered.
Jessica Shere Coggins:I know. It doesn't taste good
Melissa Shere Beek:to And then you take it home, and four days later, it's still in the fridge until it's like Yeah. Yeah, rotted.
Mason Sharpe:Yeah. But that's better than Samantha because she brings it home, but she doesn't put it in the fridge. So it just leaves it
Melissa Shere Beek:out. I used to leave things out.
Mason Sharpe:Like, how
Jessica Shere Coggins:I used I had to train myself
Melissa Shere Beek:to put
Jessica Shere Coggins:it in. Because I'd be like, I'll eat it later tonight.
Melissa Shere Beek:Oh, no. Because I
Jessica Shere Coggins:have a problem.
Melissa Shere Beek:I'm eating it at like two in the morning. Dessert. I'm good about I'm eating dessert too. I come in I'm not sharing my dessert either. I in and
Samantha Shere Sharpe:I think I'm hoping he puts it away from me. He does. He sometimes he does.
Mason Sharpe:Yeah. And then if I don't
Melissa Shere Beek:Then he gets in trouble.
Mason Sharpe:Why don't you put it away?
Samantha Shere Sharpe:Yes. So I'm like
Melissa Shere Beek:Oh, well, that's your job, mate. Right. I I
Mason Sharpe:understand Even if we're actually, this weekend, we're we're we bought some stuff for the refrigerator and our refrigerator is fully loaded because obviously, she likes to buy a lot
Samantha Shere Sharpe:of expired.
Mason Sharpe:Yeah. So I told Samantha, I said, you gotta clear out the stuff before we put the news things in. So she's like she's she's I'm trying to help her. So she takes things. She goes, oh, hey, take the lemonade.
Mason Sharpe:So I take the lemonade. Oh. So obviously, I'm taking it to clear it out and I dump it. And then she goes, where'd put the lemonade? Was a little low.
Melissa Shere Beek:The whole point of this is it was
Mason Sharpe:to clear out
Melissa Shere Beek:the fridge.
Mason Sharpe:And she says, take the lemonade. And it was supposed
Melissa Shere Beek:to take it and
Mason Sharpe:then save it
Samantha Shere Sharpe:was for just telling him to take it out.
Melissa Shere Beek:You were just telling him to remove it.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:I was gonna make a cup full of myself, and then you could throw away the rest. But he I just hear, See, I'm like I

Mason Sharpe:I had a great time with your voice.
Jessica Shere Coggins:They they adore you. It's very funny.

Melissa Shere Beek:Oh, yeah.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:Come in. I feel like he's kinda gravitated into. Yeah.
Jessica Shere Coggins:This is a good one.
Mason Sharpe:I think also the other thing too is I was afraid at the beginning of giving my opinion.
Melissa Shere Beek:Uh-huh.
Mason Sharpe:Because then if it didn't work out, I was one to blame.
Jessica Shere Coggins:Oh, yeah. Yeah. But I
Mason Sharpe:there's so I used never
Melissa Shere Beek:answer the questions now.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:This story. Then finally goes, oh, I see it now. I see what you're saying. I see why you don't give full answers.
Jessica Shere Coggins:Because if he gives an answer
Melissa Shere Beek:They blame him. Then they yes. They blame him.
Jessica Shere Coggins:But you told me this.
Melissa Shere Beek:He
Samantha Shere Sharpe:yell at me, like, can you just give me an answer? Or can you just give mom an answer? And I'm like, listen, Jess. This is the reason why we don't give answers because it'll come back and be like
Melissa Shere Beek:Like you told me to do.
Mason Sharpe:The time it happened was your Uber at Tulane. Right? Yes. It's I
Samantha Shere Sharpe:was after
Mason Sharpe:Uber. Outside Remy's.
Melissa Shere Beek:Oh, for her reservation. Then a time we had
Mason Sharpe:to get Uber. And it's about whether you get an Uber or cab or Lyft or whatever.
Melissa Shere Beek:I hired a van from No. No. No. This was I
Samantha Shere Sharpe:remember this. This is the airport we were going to the rental. This is that No.
Mason Sharpe:It's from Remi's apartment outside of it.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:Oh, was it?
Mason Sharpe:And we had to go to the hotel or something.
Melissa Shere Beek:Oh, her house on Broadway.
Mason Sharpe:So she goes to me and she goes, so do I order Lyft? Or can I order Uber? Should I can you do Uber?
Melissa Shere Beek:I totally remember this.
Jessica Shere Coggins:And I'm like, Ruthie, like No.
Mason Sharpe:Ruthie, go to the app and go she's like, well, can can't you do it for me? Like, I'd rather
Melissa Shere Beek:not Well, technology is definitely not her thing.
Mason Sharpe:No. Do I do this or do I call someone? I'm like, just go on Uber. And then Jessica's like, Mason, she just wants you to do the Uber for you. Can't you do it for her?
Mason Sharpe:I'm like, I'd rather not.
Melissa Shere Beek:Because the
Mason Sharpe:reason why
Melissa Shere Beek:Jessica was mad.
Mason Sharpe:Yeah. Because I explained.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:She thought you were being rude. And we're like, listen, we've been down this road so many times that, like, we're not doing this anymore.
Melissa Shere Beek:Yeah. Because we I it. If I order it for her
Mason Sharpe:and it says five minutes
Melissa Shere Beek:We're gonna get
Mason Sharpe:and it and it arrives in Yeah. Eight minutes I'm at fault because I screwed up. Or if the driver goes to wrong location or if it's the driver she doesn't like, it's my fault. So if I just stay out of it, then
Samantha Shere Sharpe:That's what I'm saying.
Melissa Shere Beek:He's warned over the years. Like, he definitely has. Like, he knows when to stay away and he knows when to chime in to chime in.
Mason Sharpe:Yeah. That's why I like when there's, like, computer issues now. I have someone else in the family that will speak up and and volunteer to
Jessica Shere Coggins:offer Yes. Now you call the kids.
Melissa Shere Beek:No. Well, that's better. No. It's called somebody else. Yeah.

Mason Sharpe:be passed. Exactly.

Samantha Shere Sharpe:be I'm gonna put it I'm gonna do this in a twist. Okay. Oh. There's someone that hurt my child.
Melissa Shere Beek:Oh, that's not where I thought you were going.
Jessica Shere Coggins:I didn't think she was going there either. Oh. It's okay. Go.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:And I kind of was like it was more of like she was gonna handle it and I wanted her to handle it the way I would've handled it. Mhmm. And she said, no. I'm gonna handle it my way. And she did.

Melissa Shere Beek:Sorry. Yeah.
Mason Sharpe:No. It's we're I'm so proud of her
Melissa Shere Beek:Yeah.

Melissa Shere Beek:Oh, sure.
Mason Sharpe:And you and we're the adults, so we're supposed to have all the answers and tell the kids what they're supposed to do.

Jessica Shere Coggins:I it's not fair. I hit this thing a 100 times.
Mason Sharpe:Is there a time in your life that changed things that you mark as a before and after period, a pivotal moment? Obviously, the basic one would be when I got married or when I had kids.
Melissa Shere Beek:But besides
Mason Sharpe:Things that that changed.
Jessica Shere Coggins:You gotta go to something.
Melissa Shere Beek:She wants you to get to the meat of something. Are you thinking of something specific, Jess? No. No. Was one
Samantha Shere Sharpe:of your questions.
Jessica Shere Coggins:No. I just don't want him to say the kids being born and being married. I
Melissa Shere Beek:want That's like a a pretty big. No. But those are common.
Jessica Shere Coggins:Don't know if he has another one.
Melissa Shere Beek:Is there a more personal pivotal moment?
Mason Sharpe:Yeah. I wanna be able to give you guys answers. I don't I already gave you two, but they're not
Melissa Shere Beek:good at all. We a gong in here for him not answering. We needed a gong. I thought this is a good one before and after.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:About him is he's he we know him so well. There's nothing, like, that would surprise us, at least for me.
Mason Sharpe:Maybe it's, like, before and after, like, when the kids go to sleepaway camp and when they're not at sleepaway camp. Like, it's a different attitude.
Melissa Shere Beek:No. I'm talking like an impactful pivotal moment.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:Think maybe my when my father died.
Mason Sharpe:But I didn't wanna bring that up. Don't know
Melissa Shere Beek:if that's the right thing. Can up all time. Everything.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:All the time.
Melissa Shere Beek:Yeah. That was an impactful pivotal moment when our dad died.
Mason Sharpe:It's not just when he died, but also, like, when he got injured, you know, like Mhmm. Before that
Melissa Shere Beek:The first time. Yeah.
Mason Sharpe:I played tennis with him. Mhmm. You know, go to Home Depot. Mhmm. Just do stuff like that.
Mason Sharpe:And then, you know, there's a moment where, you know, it just stops and just changes and stuff Right. Like And I still remember all our family vacations, hanging out with him.
Melissa Shere Beek:Yeah.
Mason Sharpe:I remember, actually, there was a moment, like, we were somewhere over in Europe, walking the street, and there was something happening with it was an argument with Samantha and I, obviously. And then I
Melissa Shere Beek:was I think this was in Prague, because I remember the screaming on the street.
Mason Sharpe:Yeah. And then your mom was like shouting at me, defending Samantha, and then your dad was like, no, Mason's right. And your mom started yelling at your father, how could you do that? It's your daughter. He's like, yeah, but he's right.
Mason Sharpe:So like, he was always there to like Yeah. Your mom would say whatever.
Melissa Shere Beek:That's like how
Jessica Shere Coggins:I was growing up.
Melissa Shere Beek:But he always
Mason Sharpe:was like truthful and would, even if it hurt saying going up against her
Melissa Shere Beek:Right.
Mason Sharpe:He would say the truth and
Melissa Shere Beek:No. He always told the truth.
Mason Sharpe:Yeah. So that's what There's a
Melissa Shere Beek:big difference. It's amazing to me that his
Mason Sharpe:Sorry for upsetting both
Samantha Shere Sharpe:of It's amazing to
Jessica Shere Coggins:me that his memory, like, still continues.
Melissa Shere Beek:Oh, yeah.
Jessica Shere Coggins:But it's been a long time. Sometimes you
Melissa Shere Beek:don't, like, think about it. You know what I mean? But it's it's it keeps it continues.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:He says
Melissa Shere Beek:he still like, he remembers
Samantha Shere Sharpe:that he remembers that pivotal moment when he stopped being dad. Yeah. Like
Mason Sharpe:It ate me up when he, like, when he couldn't eat.
Melissa Shere Beek:Yeah.
Mason Sharpe:And we to celebrate his birthdays, we'd go to somewhere to eat.
Jessica Shere Coggins:I know. I know. And had cake.
Mason Sharpe:In front of him.
Melissa Shere Beek:But we used to We used to sneak a cake. I don't eat him. Yeah. Yeah.
Jessica Shere Coggins:Like the frosting.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:He knew
Mason Sharpe:his stomach. Knew then also, was like, I value his opinion for sure.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:Yeah. You did value his opinion.
Mason Sharpe:And when I go there for his advice, and he's he's given me an answer Yeah. But I can't understand what he says. It was so devastating. Like, try to try to guess what he's saying. I try because I didn't wanna leave him frustrated that he couldn't say something so
Samantha Shere Sharpe:that Remember when I got you guys Wally World matching shirts? Yeah. You and him and the Wally World matching shirts.
Mason Sharpe:Yeah. We used to do the Wally World stuff.

Melissa Shere Beek:Yeah. My dad.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:Not you. You don't bring her to tears.
Melissa Shere Beek:Well, you did. But you didn't.
Mason Sharpe:What do you wanna get better at? I guess just dealing with with the girls in the in the house and stuff like that, trying to understand them and having a better relationship with them and stuff like that. That's because there's sometimes you you think you you understand them, and then they come home and they say things where you're like, I I just
Melissa Shere Beek:You don't know what hit you?
Jessica Shere Coggins:Well, because and they also talk in these terms now.
Mason Sharpe:Yeah. Like But, like, even, like, outfits. Like, I didn't realize, like, if you're for homecoming, that you need to give at least 500 different outfits to choose. And if you find one that's still not good enough because your opinion may change, so you still gotta buy several 100 more
Jessica Shere Coggins:Oh, my god.
Mason Sharpe:To go over

Jessica Shere Coggins:Yeah. Some of it's just for magnificent.
Melissa Shere Beek:Such a spiritual experience. Like I just I just felt it was yeah. I like that. I agree with you on that one. I wouldn't move there though.

Samantha Shere Sharpe:I thought you would have said Kennebunkport or
Melissa Shere Beek:I kicked by accident with my shoe.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:Kennebunkport or Vail.
Mason Sharpe:Yeah. But that's just short term though.
Jessica Shere Coggins:But he doesn't ski anymore.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:No. He never skied.
Jessica Shere Coggins:Right. Next one.

Melissa Shere Beek:Yeah.

Melissa Shere Beek:the next year. So we're just We
Samantha Shere Sharpe:could get all the bunny slopes

Mason Sharpe:Yeah. But as long as there's food, I'm okay.
Melissa Shere Beek:Yeah. Alright. I'm at the apres ski with the chocolate milk and the
Mason Sharpe:s'mores. Thoughts on AI.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:So before you answer, Brie and I jokingly say that he is having an affair with Claude. Is Claude your AI person?
Mason Sharpe:Oh. You're you're not too familiar with AI.
Melissa Shere Beek:He's Claude either.
Mason Sharpe:So Claude is have you ordered ChatGPT?
Melissa Shere Beek:UPS guy.
Mason Sharpe:Yeah. So ChatGPT is like like McDonald's and Burger King. So, like, ChatGPT is McDonald's and Claude is
Melissa Shere Beek:Burger King.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:It's just another His analogies are really good. His analogies are really good. He does check Wendy's Wendy's is Gemini. So, like, there's different
Melissa Shere Beek:It's another AI source. Oh,
Jessica Shere Coggins:I see. You're going down.
Mason Sharpe:But the thing is that there's lot of free ones.
Melissa Shere Beek:Taco Bell.
Mason Sharpe:You can use ChatGPT for free and Claude for free, and that's what I used to use. But then I changed and I and I have this Claude called co work, where it you could basically, like, take over your computer, it can, like, basically step in for you and do things on your behalf.
Melissa Shere Beek:That's so weird though, still.
Mason Sharpe:If I have a problem with the computer or if I have to go to my parents house to fix the computer, I just tell Claude, this is an issue here, and it just takes over the computer, does all these steps on its own.
Melissa Shere Beek:He used to come over
Jessica Shere Coggins:and fix mommy's computer all the time. I
Melissa Shere Beek:remember But
Samantha Shere Sharpe:what what are your thoughts on AI? You like it or
Melissa Shere Beek:you don't? I love it. Yeah. He would
Mason Sharpe:like it. But there's also extremes too, though.
Melissa Shere Beek:Okay. Steven and I were having this discussion right before you came in. Steven, turn around. You gotta chime in on this. We were talking about AI.
Melissa Shere Beek:And I said, I only like it for helping with health reasons, if it can come science wise to good things. Or what was the other thing I said, Steven? Health and
Mason Sharpe:I think those were the two.
Melissa Shere Beek:No. What was the second one? Health and oh, shit. What was it? I lost my mind.
Melissa Shere Beek:Something else. Health was one of them and also I forgot the other one. But I Educational? Or something? No.
Melissa Shere Beek:I didn't say that. Academia? No. Okay.
Mason Sharpe:But what I found with AI But Artist I don't wanna get too
Melissa Shere Beek:far Okay. Go ahead.
Mason Sharpe:Too far involved into this.
Melissa Shere Beek:Have Okay.
Mason Sharpe:But I I feel like it's you look like several years ago, like, with Facebook and and social media, how it's basically getting everyone to extremes.
Melissa Shere Beek:Right.
Mason Sharpe:So, like, where before social media, it didn't really matter if you're a Democrat, Republican, it's not that big of a deal. But on social media, all it feeds you is if you if you're a Democrat, all you're gonna keep seeing is Democrat stuff. And so you everyone eventually goes towards extremes. So, like, for AI, when you ask for an opinion Mhmm. And say, I'm having this issue here, what I want it it, You're basically, like, telling it what your side is.
Melissa Shere Beek:Yeah. That's how you phrase it and say it.
Mason Sharpe:Right. And so it wants to please you, so it gives you answers Yeah. To defend yours. So actually, there's one example of someone on social media, a famous, like, real estate agent who's selling, like, a really super expensive apartment, and then the buyer and seller, they're about to close on the deal, but they both, the buyer went on to AI and asked the question, am I selling it at a high or a low price? And then for the buyer, it says, You're overpaying, you shouldn't be doing this, and then the buyer contacted the broker, they wanted to back out.
Mason Sharpe:Then when the broker told the seller, the seller's like, actually, you're saying that I was on AI, and I asked it a question, it said, I'm selling it for too low of a price, I'm backing out too. Right. So both of them are extremes, and they're not they're missing out on a lot of things. And for business wise, I use it, but I'm also seeing, when I give leases to tenants, I'm seeing tenants put in using AI, and they're asking for crazy things and it's basically now that if we used to have like a small little issue to deal with, now sometimes if they use AI and I am, it's just extremes.
Melissa Shere Beek:I think it's extremely divisive. And I think we have no guardrails on it. And I'm afraid what it could do with warfare and other things. I just I think it can be I think there are positives to it, like I said, for research and health. But I am really scared that we have no parameters and it can be extremely dangerous in the wrong hands.
Melissa Shere Beek:As far as you the And that's fucking scary. I know.
Mason Sharpe:But For Aiden's graduation at Arizona, it had a like a speaker. Mhmm. And it was some guy from Google, Sam.
Jessica Shere Coggins:Mhmm.
Mason Sharpe:Right? There's a former former VP or whatever. Mhmm. And he would kept talking about how AI is gonna change everyone's lives. And every time he mentioned AI, all the students
Samantha Shere Sharpe:Would boo.
Mason Sharpe:Would boo because they're taking they they feel AI is taking their jobs away.
Melissa Shere Beek:It is. It is.
Mason Sharpe:It also It's adds jobs just it's different. Just like coming with computers. So it changes everyone's way of I'm handling
Melissa Shere Beek:boot to AI for a lot of reasons.
Jessica Shere Coggins:But I bet if you were younger, you would be more into
Mason Sharpe:it.
Melissa Shere Beek:No. I don't think I would be. Mm-mm. I think a lot of the younger generation is because I think that's what they're gonna have growing up. It isn't that pathetic.
Melissa Shere Beek:It's just the
Jessica Shere Coggins:way it's going.
Melissa Shere Beek:From, like, human connection.
Mason Sharpe:Yeah. But it's bad for, like, education for schools.
Melissa Shere Beek:It's horrible.
Mason Sharpe:Now, you do work and you're using AI to get the answer and you're
Melissa Shere Beek:not really using AI. Are you learning?
Jessica Shere Coggins:Do not let these kids come home and write essays or any of that.
Melissa Shere Beek:They have to do it in school. Teacher No. I picks it up
Jessica Shere Coggins:because everything is ruined from AI with that with that. I don't know.
Melissa Shere Beek:I'm I'm anti.
Jessica Shere Coggins:Okay. Next question.
Mason Sharpe:Can you, like, have, like, a camera view of how many they've gone through? I mean, this is
Jessica Shere Coggins:really Wait. I got a good one for you.
Melissa Shere Beek:I'll take a picture. This is a good one.
Mason Sharpe:Okay.
Melissa Shere Beek:I like that one.
Mason Sharpe:It's like a paper shredder here.
Melissa Shere Beek:Yeah. I know. I hope they're putting them back in the right places.
Mason Sharpe:Superpower you wish you had.
Melissa Shere Beek:I like that one. Mhmm.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:We've done that one.
Melissa Shere Beek:He's looking at both of us like help. But I He every single question he looks to Samantha to answer, help him answer. He's like, maybe he's scared he's gonna get in trouble. No. Superpower, I guess, is he read in my mind.
Mason Sharpe:Be able to find, like, a money tree or something. Have to be able to afford them because they it's not easy.
Jessica Shere Coggins:I like that answer. That was a great answer.
Melissa Shere Beek:You need a money tree.
Mason Sharpe:I love that.
Melissa Shere Beek:Alright. You wanna do one last one? Yeah. Okay. One last one.

Melissa Shere Beek:Cannot say Samantha.
Mason Sharpe:No. What?
Melissa Shere Beek:I didn't get that from this at all. Oh. I don't know what the answer what question is.
Mason Sharpe:What is your greatest greatest extravagance?
Melissa Shere Beek:She said her. Yeah. You can't say Sam.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:No. Give her give him a different one.
Melissa Shere Beek:Okay. Let's end on a good one. Okay. Okay. Unless there's anything else Unless there's a We didn't ask that you wanna share with
Mason Sharpe:us. Know. Guess Sam, greatest extravagant I got a new car.

Samantha Shere Sharpe:But So he do like
Melissa Shere Beek:it now? He loves it. It's gorgeous.
Mason Sharpe:But it's not practical.
Melissa Shere Beek:Like, it's Yeah. But you you don't need it.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:It wasn't impractical during the summer when we had three cars and five drivers.
Mason Sharpe:I mean, maybe the good thing is too is when we go shopping, she has to buy less stuff because they can't fit into
Samantha Shere Sharpe:the His bunk is coming.
Melissa Shere Beek:Don't worry. She'll take her own car and do that right after She'll have it shipped
Jessica Shere Coggins:to the
Mason Sharpe:house. But it's just it's frustrating.
Melissa Shere Beek:Don't have shipped to the house. None. Yeah. I like his car. Okay.
Melissa Shere Beek:What? Final one? Yeah. Let's pick the final one.
Mason Sharpe:Wasn't the last one the final
Melissa Shere Beek:one? No. No. It's okay. We like to use rules around.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:Yes. They change the rules
Melissa Shere Beek:every time.
Mason Sharpe:Speaking of which, one rule you live by?
Melissa Shere Beek:Yeah. Oh.
Jessica Shere Coggins:Not Samantha or the kids. You.
Melissa Shere Beek:Yeah. Don't look to your wife for answers.
Mason Sharpe:No. I don't know. I just think you just gotta be respectful for everyone.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:I like it.
Mason Sharpe:You know? Because you never know who you're gonna be around and you don't wanna burn your bridges. It's a lot easier to be nicer to someone than not.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:Oh, what's your rule? Give us your rule.
Melissa Shere Beek:You have
Samantha Shere Sharpe:to fold it back up. This is one thing I will tell you that Smith, this something all that is so Mason and I think my whole house is like, lived I by his don't know.
Melissa Shere Beek:I tried on LinkedIn 100.
Mason Sharpe:Oh, okay.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:This is something he is like engraved into our heads.
Mason Sharpe:I think I've said it a few times that my wife loves it. So she always tells
Melissa Shere Beek:Tell people in it our listeners.
Mason Sharpe:It's one of the few classes that I learned a lot
Melissa Shere Beek:Uh-huh.
Mason Sharpe:Over at BU. And it was a one ten, 100 rule where it's basically like for every one person that you make happy, they'll tell 10 other people. But for every one person you upset, they're gonna tell a 100. But that was back before social media. Now with social media, now it's like the one ten ten thousand rule
Melissa Shere Beek:or something
Mason Sharpe:like that. So you always wanna please people. Don't because you upset someone, that news that word's gonna spread a lot faster.
Melissa Shere Beek:I think it's So what do you do when you Yeah. Have thought about
Mason Sharpe:So so like a lot of times, if I go somewhere
Samantha Shere Sharpe:A restaurant.
Mason Sharpe:A restaurant or a hotel or a store or whatever, and someone that that's helping me does a really
Melissa Shere Beek:good I always think that. You always Right?
Mason Sharpe:I wanna speak to a manager.
Samantha Shere Sharpe:And they get all scared.
Melissa Shere Beek:But
Mason Sharpe:they yeah. Usually because I tell the manager, say, I know. Like, when you ask for a manager, the only time you ask is when there's a problem. But if someone does something good, no one ever asks for the manager.
Melissa Shere Beek:I always do.
Mason Sharpe:Right. But not you're one of the few people. Because most people, the only time you ask for a manager is to complain. No. So I like that if someone's doing a good job Yeah.
Mason Sharpe:Helping me, just it doesn't hurt. There's nothing there's no penalty in doing that. Just go and tell them.
Melissa Shere Beek:Catch everybody doing great things, and then I also say, you you should always be kind to everybody anyways, because you never know what anybody's going through. I yeah. That's a good one too. And I feel like your smile or your acknowledgement or your kindness
Samantha Shere Sharpe:a door for somebody. Hold it open. Yeah. I say thank you.
