[MUSIC]

A volcanic eruption of laughter.

It's, let's not say I did.

Shane, I've been Cheyenne,

I've been Shazin, I've been-

Like, just Jack with the Jess hand.

There you go.

And here we are.

She's-

Well, it's the one thing you can't do.

[MUSIC] The whole click on that one.

Is that something people say?

It's the one thing I can't do.

I'm getting better quick.

[MUSIC]

Oh, awesome, awesome.

I get it, buddy.

M.I.P.'s, right?

Most important person.

What else makes us mad?

This is great.

Grr.

Yeah.

It's just real nice.

But my part, if this gets dead.

And someone just slapped you in the face.

Free health care for the

rest of the year for us.

Yeah, that's why I stopped

eating potato chips on this show.

[MUSIC]

I am strong, I am capable,

and I can do those hard things.

Except hearing people chew.

I can't do that.

It's dew-opping your way.

Exploring as a kid and-

I think Colorado's magical,

just because, I mean, I grew up-

You know, water from heaven that cooled

the flames of our fight.

My mommy's the only one

that's cut my hair, so.

Speaking of cuts,

that whole segment's cut.

Trust me, people, we just saved you 10

minutes of your life.

You're welcome, listeners.

That's right.

Well, because we like the

last- I'll try that again.

That there is an RV.

What is that personality that you get

addicted, an addictive personality?

See how I walk myself into that?

Yeah.

It's madness, baby.

Oh.

[MUSIC]

I actually heard Dickie

V last week on a game.

I'll shave my head if

you make the finals.

I've got the worst shaped head.

Fate cannot allow me to lose my hair.

Somehow I fell out of

the crib onto my head.

Looks like someone cut a cantaloupe in

half and stuck it to the side of my head.

Or the full- better out than in.

Yeah.

It's always fun when you're winning.

It really is true.

We always finish each other's-

Sandcastles.

Yeah.

It's not good.

It's so bad.

Good. It is good.

And it only gets better.

It is intense and it gets better.

It's- yeah, it's super good.

Welcome to the Mr. and

Mrs. English Podcast.

I'm Megan.

And I'm Sean.

We're here to talk about the wild ride of

raising kids and growing careers,

keeping life together in

the middle of all the chaos.

So buckle up because we're all in this

crazy journey together.

[MUSIC]

Who's Bop?

Ooh.

Bop.

Yep.

Well, you know, I always want to go to

Hanson, but really, I mean,

I think there were quite a few songs in

the 50s that had Bop in them, like-

Oh, I'm sure there were.

Like, Bop feels like a 50s word to me.

It does.

Like a doo-wop kind of sounds like Bop.

It does, yeah.

I get that.

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

All right.

Well-

We're doo-wop-ing into the cold open.

The cold open with a doo-wop.

Yeah.

It's good.

We're gonna get better at

our opens and our closes.

Oh, yeah.

Although it is kind of a la- what's the

one with Will Arnett?

Smartless.

Smartless, right?

They do a cold open?

They do do a cold open.

Is it a little more

coordinated than ours, though?

It's coordinated.

There are also actors and

thespians and entertainers.

And I'd be stretched to

say either one of us are.

And I know you don't

take offense to that, right?

No, no.

I am a corporate person

kind of through and through.

Will Arnett can be pretty

funny on that, obviously.

And I don't know that I'm

going to compete with that.

You might, though, hon.

Give everybody your best

Will Arnett impression.

Let's not and say I did.

Or Jason Bateman.

Yeah, no, can't do that one either.

I could probably do a, you know, like,

just Jack with the Jess

hands, but I can't remember his.

Sean.

Sean Hayes.

Yeah, yeah.

Oh, gosh.

I can't remember the name Sean.

That's a tough one to remember.

But you're the only Sean

that matters in my life.

And he spells it

wrong, as everybody knows.

Exactly.

Everybody knows I spell it wrong.

Oh, no, you have the only right spelling

in the whole wide world.

Yeah, I know.

And one of the one of the point five

listeners of this is my mom,

obviously, not point five.

We actually have we actually have nice

numbers, which thank you,

everybody, for tuning into it.

I hope we continue to, you know, provide

one or two smiles for you or a laugh

here and there for entertainment.

But my mom is one of

them that listens to it.

And she probably knows

this story to some degree.

But my name spelled out.

If you don't know that,

then where have you been?

I was going to say, is it

even back there on the screen?

It's not.

It says no, I wouldn't do that because

nobody could pronounce it.

It's spelled S H A E N.

It spells Shane, right?

So my whole life had been Shane.

I've been Cheyenne.

I've been Shazin.

I've been the craziest

names, anything but Sean.

Yeah.

Right.

Because it's seen as a

and it's a WN and S H a U N.

Yeah.

There are some, you know, what is it?

Some variation.

There are some derivatives of Sean here.

Sure.

That a lot of people accept as how you're

supposed to spell Sean.

Yes.

But S H A E N is not one of them.

It is not.

And I've made it through 48 years without

meeting any other Sean

that spells it this way.

Yeah.

I mean, have you ever Googled yourself?

No, I don't want to do that.

Yeah.

Let me just finish this story.

And that's what we can talk about.

We can googling ourselves or

other people Googling people.

But well, I'm sure people always ask me,

oh, what's the what's

behind the spelling of that?

Because they think clearly there's been a

lot of thought put into

how, you know, it was spelled.

And I said, well, no, I said, this is

what I always say,

literally almost verbatim.

I say, well, if you met my mom, you would

know it's probably just spelled wrong.

Sorry, mom.

But that's what I go with.

And then I tell them,

I said, well, my mom.

You know, she probably told the doctor, I

think the way the story goes is he said,

that's not how you spell Sean.

And she said, well,

that's how I spell it.

There you go.

And and here we are.

She's a woman who knows what she wants.

Yeah, that's right.

Yeah.

Strong from the get go.

Yes, absolutely.

Yeah.

And now you're unique.

I am.

I mean, I constantly

with our last name, too.

That's hard.

Are the whole things hard?

And there are people out there that have

some weird just talking

about that at one of the

soccer games of people that have that we

work with that have

some of the worst names.

Most of them are foreign.

They are.

And so we're probably

pronouncing them wrong.

Like if we put like Americanizing them,

we're Americanizing these names.

And and then it just did not work.

Some of them we honestly

can't even put on the air.

We can't.

We have to keep our G ratings.

Right.

We can't say any of them probably.

No, we can't.

But you know, if you if you know, you

know, and if you want

to know, just text us.

Hit us up.

We'll share them.

Just not not online.

Yeah.

Anyways, our whole name's hard because

it's Shane Ingalls English.

Anyways, other people

have tough times with that.

But they they do.

I've never Googled myself.

Have you Googled yourself?

Yes.

And the irony is that

so there is a Megan.

I think it was my maiden name.

I don't know if I've done it.

I don't think there's any other I have

done it since we've been married.

I don't think there's many others or any

others with my name.

English is not a popular last name.

It's not.

But with my maiden name, I was like there

was a seventh grade

spelling bee champion or something.

And if you know me,

I'm a terrible speller.

So I thought that was kind of ironic.

Which surprises me that you're a terrible

speller because you remember everything.

And like that just seems like a picture.

Once you've seen that word, I feel like

you should know that word.

Do you dismiss spell

words that you haven't seen?

That's how it is for me.

If I've seen I'll mispronounce words that

I clearly don't know how to spell because

I don't know the spelling of them.

So then I'm just

throwing in random letters.

Right.

Because you don't know how to say it.

I think because I'm an auditory learner,

if I hear a word, I can say the word.

But I don't maybe know how to spell it,

especially if it has

something phonetically.

Unique about it.

Because that's so weird that I mean,

literally you remember everything, but

you're a bad speller.

That just doesn't add up.

Yeah.

Well, it's the one thing you can't do.

Maybe that was the topic.

Foot in mouth.

Oh, that was so funny.

You can start.

You can tell that story.

I will double click on

that one a little bit.

So double click on that one.

Is that something people say?

I don't know.

It's kind of a work phrase.

Maybe I shouldn't have done that.

It's like double click.

Let's.

No, I understand the premise of it.

I just didn't know there

was something people said.

I don't know.

It could be a very.

I can unpack that one.

Let's jump into that one.

But no, we were double clicking it.

We're going to double click it.

Yeah.

I don't know.

We're going to go with it.

So I was asking some help from our

daughter this weekend with laundry.

I needed her to carry a laundry basket to

where I was going to fold the clothes.

And as I was asking her, I was like, it's

the one thing I can't do.

Well, she decides to tell this story last

night at dinner and the entire

table erupts of all the things I can't

do, because clearly there's

more than one thing I can't do.

It was a volcano, a

volcanic eruption of laughter.

It's at the table because we're like the

one thing you can't do.

And this is people we've all, you know,

it takes a village

and it takes a family to

help somebody with a knee issue.

Yes, it does.

You know, I have to carry

your coffee every morning.

You know, I don't have to make it anymore

because Isla makes it now.

But no, I make it or you do make it now.

Yeah.

I do all by myself.

You're getting better.

But three days ago, you didn't probably

point being for what, five minutes,

everybody will for at

least a good two minutes.

Everybody's like, no,

it was probably five.

Everybody kept throwing in.

The kids started just listing all the

things that you can't do.

You can't empty a dishwasher.

You can't close the door.

You can't.

You can't close the door.

You can't drive.

You can't do it.

They started doing all kinds.

You can't dunk a basketball.

You can't jump out of your believe.

Yeah.

So they started going

through all these things.

And I joined in obviously too, because it

was just hilarious because the

overstatement of the century, it's the

one thing I can't do.

And you almost just did it again.

I know.

Yeah.

Well, there's a lot of things I can't do.

That's hilarious.

There's a lot of things I can't do, but

you're an amazing one.

You can do a million great things, but

that was just funny

at this point in time.

Yes.

My favorite was you can't parallel park,

which I think made the list before you

can't drive.

Yeah.

Which was fantastic.

Yeah.

Because I can't do either right now.

You can't operate a motorized vehicle.

There was a lot of things, but it was

like an avalanche of you can't do that.

I just released and slid

down the hill faster and faster.

It was great.

It was cathartic.

I think for everyone to be like, Oh, I'm

getting back at her for all the things

she can't do for the last

three months, two months.

Yeah.

Well, the kids have to,

we've talked about it.

They've had to do a lot

more things around the house.

They've had to pick it up a little bit.

Yeah.

I have to, but yeah, absolutely.

Yeah.

Although is it a testament to just how

much I did before I hurt myself?

Yeah.

We're all exhausted.

Yeah.

We need you to get better quick.

I'm getting better quick.

You are today.

You've actually been

documenting my progress.

I am.

I'm going to put it on Instagram.

A little bit of, I'm thinking through

things to do with it, but just to show

people, you know, the

progress that you're making.

Yeah.

I mean, I can bear weight on my leg.

I'm hobbling around, hobbling.

I wouldn't say I'm sand scratches.

Yeah.

Without crutches.

Yeah.

I've gotten pretty good with the

crutches, but getting, I can hobble,

which is, is really exciting.

Yeah, it is.

It is.

And I, I won't make a lot of that because

just why it's been, I feel bad.

It, it, it obviously

isn't fun to go through.

It's a nightmare.

You know, I said last week at some point

in time that the last time you actually

normally walked was December 23rd.

22nd.

The 22nd of December.

Right.

Yeah.

As you're walking to put your ski boots

on, that was the last time you've

walked normal and now we're into March.

Yeah.

Coming on to spring.

And that was before Christmas.

I mean, it's just such a long time to be.

Inconvenience is the wrong word for it,

but I mean, just the frustrations,

all that come along with it.

Yeah.

I think, I mean, you have to be kind of,

I try to be really positive about it

because it's like, there's no use being

upset, but I'm trying to be positive.

And I think that's helped

move things along quickly.

Yeah.

Like I'm pretty committed when it comes

to PT and all of that, because I

just want to get back to normal, but you

know, you stay within the lines.

You, you row straight.

So yeah, they tell you what PT to do.

You've been doing it.

I've been doing it.

You've been, you want to be out.

You want to be back on

the ski slopes next year.

So yeah, I think you will.

No problem.

I think I will too.

It feels good.

I mean, so it just, it

highlights for me though.

And I mean, this isn't truly

inconvenience, right?

This is an inconvenience.

I know that I have a path to just totally

walking normal like I have for

the last 45 years of my life.

And it just highlights how strong people

are that don't have that ability to,

you know, walk normal or,

you know, it's just, yeah.

I mean, we talk about it cause we, I, I'm

going all to games and all of that,

like handicap parking, which we do have a

temporary handicap, you know,

sticker placard awesome.

Yeah.

I know the only benefit is when I'm in

the car, you get good parking.

Awesome.

Also, um, but it's not always convenient

and there are many people who park in

those spots with no placard and really no

business being there.

Yeah.

I never paid attention to it ever.

Ever.

Cause I, well, a let's

just stay for the record.

Clearly we've never parked in handicap

parking spots because those are for

handicap people, right?

Um, and yeah, it has opened my eyes to

just how many people park in those spots

that don't need them and don't have a

reason to be in them and don't aren't

legally allowed to even be in them.

Right.

And it, it is frustrating.

I mean, it's just another thing to get

frustrated at in this world sometimes,

but it is frustrating when there's only

four handicap parking spots.

You literally cannot fall your one slip

away from disaster and someone's just

parked there because

it's convenient for them.

Yep.

And it's like, and

it's still not that close.

Like it is, but I get those last soccer

games and they're like right there next

to that.

I get it.

It's cold.

It's rainy.

It's right in front of the field.

I get it, buddy.

M I P's right.

Most important person.

So you go ahead and take that because,

you know, who knows?

I mean, there's people that are

handicapped that do need it.

They do need it, but you don't care

because you're the M I P.

Yeah.

Anyway, sorry.

Yeah.

You kind of see this is cathartic.

Yeah.

Oh yeah.

It's frustrated.

Yeah.

Well, and we're seeing it.

That's something that you and I would

never consider doing is like, hmm, it's

really, I'm just going in and out.

Let me just quick park here.

Yeah.

No, someone needs that more than we do.

Yeah.

It's just kind of what else makes us mad.

This is great.

Yeah.

At some point this podcast would get to,

we're just airing grievances constantly.

I got a list.

So I mean, like when you're ready, if

it's not too much of a problem, Clark,

what a real surprise.

It's just real nice.

Real nice.

I like this hashtag.

If you know, you know, I've been, I've

been using that like

last week and a half.

Right.

If you don't know those, I mean, come on.

Oh yeah.

That one, that one

has to be one of those.

Vacation.

Come on.

Oded movies.

Of all time.

Yeah.

It has to be.

I still misquoted, but I'm close.

I'm close.

Very close.

You're close enough that everyone's going

to know, you know, when you're like,

but my part of this gets dead.

My part just ain't gonna look right.

My hair just not gonna look right.

See, I messed it up too much pressure.

Yeah.

Do you really think it matters?

I'd love that movie.

Anyway, see again, welcome to

Shawn and Megan's date night.

This is, this is often how these go.

It's date night, but

we've had to move date night.

We're late.

I don't know what's taking it up, but

we're into the work week.

Well, part of it, what we are in the work

week, which is crazy.

Sometimes we're like

ahead in the work week.

We're, we're on it and we get a free

night and we're like, Oh yeah, we're

going to be like a week and a half ahead.

I think the one hour of a daylight save,

like switching to spring forward.

Losing that hour really

did matter this weekend, but.

Did it?

Why do you say that?

I just feel like Sunday was so short.

Yeah.

We had a lot of soccer games.

We did.

We added a couple of things to the

schedule that just weren't there.

And we weren't planning on

this to be spring forward.

At least I completely missed it.

That's right.

Goodness.

We didn't mentally prepared for it.

Right.

I think that's a little bit of my issue

with this family because, you know, I

always air my craziness on the show,

which I hate that I do that sometimes.

But, um, I just, because of my type a

personality, I like to be prepared for

what's coming and also because, uh, you

know, I'm an introvert, you know, I have

to, if something is coming, that's social

or something like that.

A lot of times I have to

work up my energy for that.

I have to, or I have to be mentally

prepared to have energy later for it.

Right.

So because of that, our whole family has

kind of figured out and I don't, it's

not like it happens all the time, but I

do like to know we've just kind of live

our lives that way that let's plan ahead.

Let's prepare.

We know what's happening.

But when we don't know, and I know some

of our kids are like that too, is like,

well, I didn't plan on it.

I had planned on, you know, relaxing.

Right.

Now I got to do this.

I didn't plan on that.

Right.

So I don't know if I don't know if that's

my bad seed that I planted in them.

Like, Oh, we can't be flexible.

There's no malleability, you know, there.

I think for our youngest, that is as

inherent to him as it is to you.

It is inherent.

We've seen that from the

moment he was a toddler, right?

That he needed to know.

I think our oldest has kind of

grown into that a little bit.

It's a good excuse for him.

I think more so than.

Yeah.

Whereas our daughter, Oh man, that girl

just flies by the seat of her pants all

the time, she doesn't necessarily need to

plan it, which is more like me.

Although I did really

want to know about daylight.

Like I, I mentally, I don't know.

It's that, Oh, I'm going

to lose an hour of sleep.

Like I look forward to fall back.

Well, that was the point, right?

We got, we got to like

three o'clock on Saturday.

And it was like eight at night.

Remember we were watching a show.

Yeah.

And I think it was the coach that texted

everyone and you're like, Oh my gosh,

guys, it is spring forward this weekend.

We had no idea.

I don't know how that stuck up on us.

It was literally like somebody, like you,

it's like you turned around.

And someone just slapped you in the face.

You know what I mean?

It's like, Oh, and then you react to it,

you know, with just being dumbfounded.

Yeah.

That kind of deck put us off.

That put us off a

little bit this weekend.

Maybe it did.

We probably would have planned a little

differently because I think we could

have snuck it in on Saturday, but we

weren't planning on it.

And so it was funny.

Cause then after you realized it, cause

you're the one that said it, it was

like a mad dash to kids

are like, I got a shower.

I'm going to lose sleep.

And I mean, sleep is king

when it comes to a teenager.

It is.

And we encourage that.

We do.

Yeah.

I don't know.

Sleep is still pretty

important to us too.

For sure.

I gotta have seven hours.

Yeah.

You know what I'm looking

forward to in three nights.

I don't have to sleep

with my big metal brace on.

Oh, wow.

That's three nights from now.

Uh, yeah.

Yeah.

That's awesome.

That'll be fantastic for you.

That'll be incredible for me.

Sleeping with a massive

metal brace on is no bueno.

Yeah.

I don't sleep very well.

I don't know how you could.

Can't move.

I lay there like I'm in a

coffin and I lay bad that way.

So inconvenient.

I mean, in hindsight, I just, you know,

you probably shouldn't just

blow your knee out.

Easier not to have done that.

I know it would have really been a lot

easier financially

would have been better.

I mean, geez, if we could

just, although, you know what?

We had our deductible

in January this year.

So free healthcare for

the rest of the year for us.

Healthcare.

It's like we're in Canada.

I know.

I think they have free healthcare or yes.

I'm in Europe.

Yeah.

Well, you know, Hey,

we're, we're silver lining.

We're trying to find the silver lining.

That's right.

That's good.

Also silver lining.

We officially booked our summer vacation.

We did.

I think I just smacked.

I hate when I smack.

I gotta be careful with that.

I gotta edit those out.

Nobody wants to hear

people's mouth smacks.

Now people are going to

hear it the rest of the time.

So don't listen for it.

Everybody's like swallowing or other

weird sounds that people make.

Yeah.

That's why I stopped eating

potato chips on this show.

Can you imagine?

It's like, it's like,

what's the guy's name from?

Oh, who, who, who's mastered the art of.

Moving so slowly while he's eating drags.

Drags of mastered the art.

Those chips.

So funny.

When I was telling you the other day, I

was like, I saw that thing on Facebook or

whatever, and it's like, I sometimes have

to remind myself that

I can do hard things.

I can, I have, I'm strong.

I am capable and I can do those hard

things except hearing people chew.

I can't do that.

Like that is pretty true.

Yeah.

It doesn't bother me unless I just, once

you hear it, you can't unhear it

sometimes if it's quiet.

Totally.

Yeah.

That's the only way to

bothers me then though.

How in the world did we get on this?

I don't know.

I got, I threw us off on that tangent.

Uh, but you were talking about the silver

lining of we booked a vacation finally.

Vacation.

Yes.

And I think we were going to talk about

it and I think we both agreed on what our

favorite vacation was, but we were going

to talk about last week of what's our

favorite vacation and maybe since we both

mentioned Bora Bora as our favorite.

Yep. What was your favorite?

What was your vacation growing up?

We didn't take a lot

of vacations growing up.

Yeah.

Um, we, uh, we made

our way to, uh, Michigan.

Yeah.

Uh, cause the family had a family home in

Michigan and then that got, and then, and

someone passed away.

Uh, it was right on Michigan lake.

You've been there in the most magical

place, Palisades park in Michigan on, on

the lake Michigan on lake Michigan.

Yeah.

It's, it's just the most magical place.

It's, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a,

it is like you step back in time.

It's do whopping your way back into the

1940s a hundred percent.

There's a soda fountain shop.

There's boardwalks.

If I could afford it, I

would love to buy a place there.

It's just incredible.

It really is.

I have family now that lives 20 minutes

from there and I don't know how much they

make it out there,

but that was really fun.

Cause we'd go there, you know, we went

there two or three times probably maybe

four times and then one time I think our

grandparents paid for us to go to Disney

world, but I was 16 maybe at the time.

So I'd kind of outgrown Disney world.

Yeah.

That's interesting.

You.

Oh, you know, we, we were in Colorado

most summers and, and

we were in Estes Park.

Yeah.

Um, those were, were some

of my favorite vacations.

Um, there were a couple of times we went

just as our family, but a lot of times

we'd go with my, my aunt and uncle and my

cousins and you spend a lot of time

with cousins out there.

Absolutely.

I mean, I grew up where cousins are like

your, your siblings.

Yeah.

So it, it was just, I have

some of the best memories.

And in fact, we took a family vacation

where, you know, even as, as my nuclear

family grew and you know, we have my

siblings all are married and have kids.

We went with my aunt and uncle and all my

cousins who are also married and have

kids and we got two big houses and that

was fun just to kind of recreate some of

those memories, but those

were absolutely fantastic.

We stayed on a cabin right

next to the big Thompson.

It was just exploring as a kid.

And I think Colorado is magical just

because, I mean, I grew up there, but

I love the mountains.

I love camping.

I love cabining.

Maybe I like cabining more now than

camping, but the boys love, like

love to camp tent camp.

Yeah, they do.

Real camping.

Um, I always wonder if, if you grew up

like in, there's other places

that there's mountains, you know, that

are actually, cause Colorado is a

desert climate, so it's really dry there.

Now that I've made my way to the West

coast and the Northwest and whatnot,

even back East coast, some of those

mountains are gorgeous, more green.

Um, I'm just curious, you know, what it

would be like there.

We went to New York with your family that

one time in the finger lakes.

That was incredible.

Oh, that was incredible.

Yeah.

Worst fight of our marriage.

Yeah, that one, the biggest

rainstorm we've ever been in.

Oh my gosh.

Yes.

And the pictures that we have, like after

we got in the car, I think the

rainstorm ended the fight.

It did.

It broke it.

God, God saw fit to rain down what fire

and brim, but I can't think of it.

Yeah.

Well, rain down, it

wasn't fire and brimstone.

It was just rain down.

Yeah.

He, he poured down.

Hey, yeah.

Yeah.

It was, um, you know, water from heaven

that, that cooled the

flames of our fight.

Yeah.

Woo.

That was reaching.

Yeah.

That was not even floor.

No, I'm just kidding.

I honestly don't even remember what we

were fighting about that.

We really need to remember

not that we need to resurface.

I do.

And I was right, but aren't you usually,

no, I'm just kidding.

It wasn't about right or wrong.

Oddly enough, it was odd.

I mean, yeah, we don't

even need to go into it.

I remember what it was though.

Okay.

Yeah.

I know.

I know people who calls on this because

we sometimes leave hanging, hanging

stories like that and people are in some

people, people that know us will call us

and say, you got to finish that story.

Yeah.

What is that?

Yeah.

Oh, clearly it was reconciled quickly.

It was, but if I tell the story, it would

dig a different hole.

Oh yeah.

Don't tell outside of our family.

And I don't need to do that.

Yeah, don't need to, I

don't need to pick that.

Yeah.

No.

Yeah.

So anyways, um, we've

done a lot of cool things.

We've, we've been blessed to do some real

fun things with our kiddos, but this next

one is exciting because we're going over

to Europe and you've never been there.

So that'll be, that'll be incredible.

Yeah.

I'm so excited.

And we tasked the kids with doing some

research this weekend on, you know, cause

we were out and about.

So I was doing some things and, but I

think, um, our two oldest spent some time

on, on YouTube and found a couple of

things that they're like, we have to do

this and we have to do that.

So helped plan a little

bit, which is really cool.

Yeah.

I went to, uh, one of my, I ran.

Some errands this afternoon.

One of the things I went to do because

I'm a planner, I try to get things done.

I'm efficient, pride myself on that.

You know?

Yes.

So I went to the, I went to the bank, uh,

to get our passports.

Oh, good.

So I can do my global

intro to the security box.

Yeah.

Awesome.

And, uh, I forgot the key for the social

security box, so it didn't mean no good.

Okay.

Yeah.

Need two keys for those.

So note to self note to self.

Remember the key to the social security

bar, the security box.

When you go, there you go.

To the bank to open up the security box.

Anyways.

Yeah.

Some of those.

Failure.

Details.

It's all right.

It's all good.

But anyway, so we're excited about that.

Yeah.

We actually had a

really fun night last night.

Your mom came by.

It was so good to see her and she gave

you guys some haircuts.

Yeah.

It was fun.

Yeah.

We're lucky.

I think we've told this, I've told the

people that know us too.

My mom has been a

hairstylist for her entire life.

She, she retired from hairstyle from

being a hairstylist.

But she owned her own, she owned her own

company, her own salon for the

longest time she had masseuses there.

She had nail people there.

You know, she, she did a really good job.

I was proud of her

for what she did there.

Um, but because of that, for the longest

time, a, I never paid for a haircut.

In B nobody ever cut my hair, but my mom

until I was in Chicago.

Oh yeah.

Yeah.

And she couldn't.

And I was 30 some years old.

And I remember sitting in that first

style, this chair being 30 something,

being a little embarrassed to say, you

know, my mommy's the only one that's

cut my hair, so, you know, it felt kind

of funny, but, uh, but now that we're

back here, uh, when we built the house,

we built a little salon kind of upstairs.

Uh, and either way, I haven't cut my hair

in a really long time.

I should, I'm probably do a

trim, but cut the whole thing.

We should.

Speaking of cuts that

whole segment's cut.

So hopefully we mentioned the haircut and

then like, Hey, let's talk about

haircuts cause your mom, we gave us

haircuts last night and then it's going

to cut straight to me saying, speaking of

cuts, we're going to

cut that whole section.

Trust me, people, we just saved you 10

minutes of your life.

It's a good thing.

You're welcome.

Listeners.

That's right.

Right.

So with my mom here, I was telling my mom

cause she was the one, remember

she used to come to our

house and watch Yellowstone.

Yeah.

And the longest time, I don't

know how long it's been out.

It's in the fifth

season, at least right now.

Is it?

Yeah.

I didn't even realize that.

Which by the way, is the best way to

watch like a Netflix series or HBO

series, wait till it's done and then

watch the whole thing.

And then just binge it.

Yeah.

Cause otherwise

you're just stuck waiting.

And I don't like that anymore.

We did that with game of thrones.

And that was like a nightmare because

sometimes it'd go two weeks or

God forbid there's a season ending and

there's eight months in between.

Yes.

Ted Lasso's like that.

Yes.

We had to do that.

Rexam is like that.

Yeah.

Man, we've watched some great series.

Um, but yeah, we started it and we binged

like that first one or two seasons.

Cause we had a little bit of extra time.

We did have a little extra time.

This weekend.

Yup.

Yeah.

You seem like you were questioning that.

We did.

And we started binging a new series.

Yeah.

And we haven't watched a series of

anything for five years.

I feel like.

What's the last big series watch?

We did watch Ted Lasso.

We watched Ted Lasso.

Um, but I feel like that

was over a couple of years.

Yeah.

And then, um, we never

even finished succession.

We never finished Ozark either.

We finished Ozark.

Yeah.

But these were ones where it

wasn't done when we watched it.

And so that long pause and then life got

busy and so we didn't.

Yeah.

So we've never seen the

final season of Ozark.

We haven't seen the

final season of succession.

We did watch all of Ted Lasso.

Yeah.

Well, I've seen quite a few of them when

I was traveling a lot for the bank.

I would watch some of

them on the flights.

Oh, yeah.

Right.

So I got through Boardwalk Empire.

Yeah.

HBO One.

Uh, the Wire.

HBO One.

Yeah.

So what I did was I just, I,

I Googled top series on HBO.

Yeah.

And I just kind of started going down

through them and they're so good.

Yeah.

I mean, some of these are

old, but they're so good.

And the funny thing about it is you see

some of these actors from this show

that you've seen later.

It's like, that's probably where they got

their start out of that show.

And then they ended up in other movies.

Yeah.

After that.

But like, what else did I watch?

I watched the one with

the movie star out in LA.

Entourage.

Mm hmm.

I watched the one

where they start a company.

Oh, Veep.

I watched Veep.

And then the one.

Silicon Valley.

So there's some super

good ones out there.

Yeah.

And there's so many more too, but this

Yellowstone one, I don't know if

anybody else has

watched Yellowstone, but.

It's so we just started watching it.

You're a little bit ahead.

Well, I started it over with you.

Started over with me.

That's really good.

It is good.

And it only gets better.

It is intense and it gets better.

It's yeah, it's super good.

So now I'm like hooked on a series and

yeah, feel kind of bad because I'm like,

should we stay up late

and watch another episode?

Yeah.

That's why I know I've got, what does

that personality that you get addicted,

an addictive personality?

See how you've walked myself into that?

Yeah.

Got that.

I've got an addictive personality.

What kind of personality?

I'm just trying to find that seat light

lit up, you know, in my head somewhere.

And it's like, I just

walked the aisle and I found it.

Yeah.

But because I'll start something like

that and I'll, I'll, I'll be like,

not sad, too strong of a word, but I'll

be, you know, disappointed.

Maybe it's a good enough word that I got

to not, I got to stop and go to sleep.

Yeah.

You know, I got to stop and go pick up

the kids or whatever it might be.

Right.

And I have to put it off because I want

to, I want to know what happened in the

next episode because I know the next

episode and the next

seasons are out there.

Yeah.

It's I I'm, I'm the same way though.

I mean, do you remember when we were

watching game of thrones?

It'd be like midnight.

We're like, let's watch

another like game of thrones again.

We always talk about that one.

That was so good.

It's so good.

Um, books are really good too.

Oh yeah.

The books are really good.

I'm actually waiting for Georgia R.

Martin to finish the

series, writing the series.

Yeah.

But I don't know if he will now that

season eight came out

before the book came out.

Yeah.

So HBO finished his forum, but the books

are just as good, if not better.

Yeah.

They're really good.

I don't know.

That's a book that I saw

the series before I read it.

And so generally I'm okay.

I know you're different, but I'm okay to

read a book in my brain being, you know,

I'm more, what is it?

Right brained.

Oh yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, I don't know.

Yeah.

Anyways, I have a creative

side of my brain as well.

Yeah.

And I can, you know, I can walk when I

read a movie, I can see it like a book.

I could, let me try that over again.

I'm going to try that one over again.

When I read a book, I can

see it like a movie in my head.

I have no problem just making up the

characters and the scenes in my head,

but you are different.

Oh, completely.

So it's helpful when you actually maybe

see the series first, because it paints

that picture for you and then

you go back and read the book.

I don't know.

In certain circumstances.

I mean, there's certain books where, no,

it didn't matter, but, but like Lord

of the Rings is one where that movie,

because it is so different and other

worldly, um, I have a hard

time putting that together.

So I reading or seeing the movie before I

read the book really helped Harry

Potter's one like that, because they're

just so out of this

world kind of a thing.

If it's more concrete, I don't have, I

didn't have a problem with it, but it's

funny because you, for me, you know, I

build the character in my head and then

when I see it on the screen, I'm like,

Oh, that was nothing.

Like I was picturing or it was similar,

whatever it might be.

But, um, yeah, with Game of Thrones, I

mean, because I'd already seen the series

reading the books after that, I think,

um, you know, you

just, you just put those,

you just substitute in the characters

that John Snow and the

actual actors for them.

Right.

So, to Nara Star Garian, like, yeah, you

just, it's pretty easy, but yeah, I am.

I am happy that we're

watching a series right now.

Yeah.

Cause it's, I don't know.

There's just something

interesting about it.

We don't watch a whole lot of TV.

So when we do, we have to make it count.

Well, it's mostly sports and we probably

won't watch much in the next two weeks

too, because we got the NCAA tournament.

March Madness, baby.

Oh, March Madness, baby.

We actually heard

Dickie V last week on a game.

Dickie V.

We were just telling

our kids about Dickie V.

Yeah.

Uh, he's sounding older, but I mean,

gosh, talk about just a guy that's

bringing sunshine into people's lives.

No, he really is such a positive person.

He's left such a, I mean,

he's such a positive light.

There's a couple famous people that are

like that and he falls in that.

For me anyway.

I don't know.

This, this year's

will be different for me.

I mean, my Jayhawks are not good.

They might struggle.

We're not good this year.

So we got the big 12 tournament starting

tomorrow, which already

have happened by the time this airs.

Yeah.

Um, actually when this airs, we'll be the

big 12 final that night and I'm

guessing we're not

being, we won't be in it.

I'll shave my head if we make the finals.

There's no way.

We're not bad.

I've seen you in a beanie, maybe not.

I've got the worst shaped head.

I, thank God I won't lose my, I mean, if

I get my grandfather's head of hair,

I'm not going to lose my hair.

You're golden.

Yeah.

Um, how do you know that?

Oh, because you could see it in a beanie.

I can see it in a beanie.

Yeah.

I mean, I don't know.

I like you with hair.

Yeah.

Well, when I shaved, when I, when I did

that too, before I went to college,

I had long hair and then I shaved it with

like a two razor, which is very short.

Eclippers.

Yeah.

And my coach, Damon recognized me when I

walked by him because I didn't have any

hair and even my mom just said yesterday,

she's like, she was making fun of just

like, I've got a badly shaped head.

So I cannot fate, cannot

allow me to lose my hair.

I'll just be a hat where I got his wear

hat every day, everywhere.

Yeah.

There you go.

To bed everywhere.

I wasn't blessed with a good shaped head,

which is weird, but.

I don't know of all the things that like.

Clearly I was dropped

and it explains a lot.

I actually did fall in my head as a baby.

So let's not make fun of me.

Then we have a picture of it.

Oh my gosh.

That was perfect.

Oh, there was a picture of Megan.

She was, you tell the story.

I, well, I was only six months old or so.

So I don't really, I have no recollection

of any of it, but there

were hardwood floors in my

bedroom and somehow I fell

out of the crib onto my head.

And it looks like, I mean, I'm only six

months old and my parents

put me in a green like dress.

I don't know why they

would have done this.

And I had this like, look like someone

cut a cantaloupe in half and stuck it to

the side of my head.

Or the full cantaloupe just stuck on the

side of your head green.

I mean, it was, it was awful

better out than in, I guess.

I always say, but you don't

have a big head to begin with.

So maybe it was a little off sized, but a

little perspective there,

but I've never seen, I've never

seen a bump like that.

No.

That's not like, it wasn't a bump.

It wasn't a bump.

It was like, I have a growth or, or I

have a half a head growing out of.

I was going to say it was like your twin

growing out at the side of your head.

It was, that was rough.

Luckily, your parasitic twin.

Yeah.

Luckily, luckily I think for the most

part shrunk back and you're

still able to live a normal life.

For the most part.

Yeah.

Like, man, I could, maybe it, maybe it's

dumped your head growth.

That's why your head is slightly small.

And by slightly small, I

think you mean really small.

I have a abnormally small head.

Now that's all people are going to see.

Sorry, everyone.

That is so funny.

I hope not.

You're a small person to begin with, but,

um, yeah, but I mean, Liam's

head's been as big as yours

for two years and

he's only in fifth grade.

Yeah.

And he doesn't have a big head.

Yeah.

It's going to start noticing now.

They are.

Yeah.

See, I think you've been shaped.

That's evolved.

That devolved quickly.

Yeah.

Evolved quickly.

Don't shave it and keep your hair.

That's right.

Got to keep my hair.

Just keep your hair.

I'll be good.

Well, I'll do my best.

I mean, you know what?

You're 48.

It looks fantastic.

It's not thinning.

You're good.

Yeah.

I'm not thinking yet.

I don't think that would be weird.

I know there's a lot of guys that are my

age that have already

thinned or been thinning.

Some guys that are thinned by this time,

they started thinning in their 30s.

Yes.

So kind of used to it, whatnot.

And it might not.

I don't know if it hits them as hard

because they're, you know, they just,

like, I've got a good friend.

He was receding in his 20s.

Yeah.

You know, not badly,

but receding in his 20s.

You know, so, I mean, I wonder if they

don't think about it as much because

they're just used to it.

I think so.

You know, whereas me, I've had a full

head of hair and a lot of it.

I mean, I've got great 80s hair.

You do.

I mean, Patrick Swayze.

You know, you got the wave going.

Yeah, it's long.

So if I were to lose it in quick

succession or quick form, I would that

would probably be a little traumatic,

especially when it uncovered

that ghastly shape of my head.

See, now people are going to just be

looking at our heads

when they walk by us.

I know.

Just judging.

Judging.

It's all right.

Yeah.

I don't know.

Of all the things, of all the things

you're going to judge me for, if it's the

size of my head or the shape of my head,

you go for it.

I'll own it.

Yeah.

Somehow you'll still

sleep at night, right?

I will.

Yeah, I will.

And hopefully someone

else got a laugh out of it.

Well, we've got NCAA coming up.

Yep.

I, we haven't watched, we have not been

into it much this year.

We've just, this has been a crazy year.

We always say it's

been, it's just been busy.

It has.

Jayhawks have been terrible.

So we haven't been that much into it.

We've watched them.

The kids don't even watch them anymore.

Right.

They go up and do

whatever they want to do.

They don't even, nobody watches the

Jayhawks play because

it's not fun to watch.

Yeah.

It's always fun when you're winning.

And the Hawkeyes, I don't know anything

about what they're doing.

I don't either.

Generally not a basketball school, but as

of late, they've had a few good teams

here and there on the men's side.

Yeah.

Women's side we watched for two years.

Yeah, exactly.

So it was fun, but it was a great time

watching Caitlin Clark just dominate.

So that was always fun.

But you know, it's still fun to watch.

It's always just good basketball, right?

It's good sports.

It's, it's entertaining.

Yeah.

I think I said it last weekend when we

had some game on that we

didn't even care about.

Right.

But it was just on in the background.

I was like, and that's

why sports are so exciting.

Someone hit last minute

three to win the game.

Yeah.

I mean, it was just an overtime.

You can't, you cannot

fabricate that type of drama.

And the big dance always provides it too.

I mean, there's just constantly great

games, generally speaking.

And the blowouts are usually my team.

They just don't show up.

We'll see how they do this year.

Yeah, we will.

I'm not looking forward to it.

But anyway, so we got that coming up.

I don't know what else is coming up.

You know, spring break, staycation, but

it's a staycation for us.

So, um, you know, I think it'll probably

be a nice quiet week.

Kids will probably drive us

bananas, but that's all right.

Yeah.

Everyone will be ready to go back because

just on top of each other in the house,

but it'll be nice.

At least the weather's nice.

So and get out.

Yeah.

It's a little bit supposed to be the best

Christmas present possible.

Yeah.

Not gonna win.

Oh yeah.

Gosh, I just said that out loud.

Didn't I?

Yeah.

From an entertainment perspective, it

always provides entertainment,

getting some energy out entertainment.

Yeah.

Stay safe kids.

Yes.

Stay safe.

And they all like to play on it together.

It's, it's more fun when

they're together out there.

So yeah, it's always good.

They're like, Oh, but it's not fun

without our, not a lot of fighting

when they come in either, which is good.

So well, I gotta

start planning for spring.

So we got spring cleaning, you know,

everybody gets their yards in shape for

spring, so I gotta get

the sprinkler system on.

Yeah.

Got to fix all that.

I got a, there's a couple of

things we got to get ready.

We'll probably have a

soccer parties at our house.

Maybe again, if we, I think a couple of

people have mentioned

us hosting it again.

I'd be happy to be happy to.

Yeah.

So we built the house.

We got to get the backyard cleaned up and

all that kind of stuff.

One thing I can't do.

It's the one thing you can't do.

Yeah.

Welcome.

But anyway, I think we're, you know,

about, about at time, but we have some

fun things coming up, so we hope all of

our listeners have some fun over spring

break and that this

message friends you all well.

That's right.

Is that how we're going to end it?

Usually we try to get into our like

little, like, that's what the smart list

does smart list.

They always back into the worst.

Bye.

Right.

So they all go by, but they try to be

like, Oh, I'm going to go for a

bicycle ride tonight.

And that's it.

Right.

They just, they work

into the, and it's horrible.

Sometimes it's horrible.

What was the time it's horrible.

And that's what's funny about it.

Right.

And ours is pretty horrible too, but.

But it's fantastic.

I mean, like, I am a huge fan of it

because I mean, it really

is true.

We always finish each other's sandcast.

It's not grafted so bad.

I actually almost hate it, but I love it.

It's a strong word for you.

Love it.

Then we'll go.

All right.
