1
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:01,500
(upbeat music)

2
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:02,958
There's a chance dry

3
01:00:02,958 --> 01:00:04,375
January might be slightly damp.

4
01:00:04,708 --> 01:00:05,666
Yeah. That's crazy.

5
01:00:06,041 --> 01:00:07,375
Drink by myself. Mikey Kay.

6
01:00:07,750 --> 01:00:09,208
I guess the moral of the story is don't

7
01:00:09,208 --> 01:00:10,250
leave us to ourselves

8
01:00:10,875 --> 01:00:12,583
because our worst vices surface.

9
01:00:13,083 --> 01:00:13,791
Pop out.

10
01:00:13,833 --> 01:00:15,458
Hey, life's tough.

11
01:00:15,875 --> 01:00:16,708
I'm the butt of every

12
01:00:16,708 --> 01:00:17,458
joke in this family.

13
01:00:17,958 --> 01:00:19,041
That's another episode.

14
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:22,666
So if anybody watches Dateline.

15
01:00:23,625 --> 01:00:24,833
However, so many wives

16
01:00:24,833 --> 01:00:25,875
poison their husbands.

17
01:00:26,500 --> 01:00:29,000
If one of us dies in the next month

18
01:00:29,541 --> 01:00:31,000
under mysterious circumstances.

19
01:00:31,416 --> 01:00:32,125
That's the connection.

20
01:00:32,666 --> 01:00:33,291
You're a weak cutter.

21
01:00:33,666 --> 01:00:34,208
Oh, that's a PK.

22
01:00:35,125 --> 01:00:36,875
We don't stand for it and uphold it.

23
01:00:36,875 --> 01:00:38,750
It's not self sustaining upon itself.

24
01:00:39,333 --> 01:00:40,041
We take it for

25
01:00:40,041 --> 01:00:41,625
granted because we've had it

26
01:00:41,708 --> 01:00:43,791
because people have stood up for it.

27
01:00:43,791 --> 01:00:45,083
Ooh, tough transition.

28
01:00:45,333 --> 01:00:46,041
That got deep.

29
01:00:46,416 --> 01:00:46,666
You won.

30
01:00:47,041 --> 01:00:47,750
You had it worse.

31
01:00:48,375 --> 01:00:48,416
(laughing)

32
01:00:48,416 --> 01:00:50,375
God, I love the smell of the gym.

33
01:00:50,625 --> 01:00:52,041
It really smells like sweat and feet.

34
01:00:52,458 --> 01:00:53,708
I know, legally what?

35
01:00:53,708 --> 01:00:55,666
You've got to stop telling people this.

36
01:00:56,375 --> 01:00:57,333
See you on the other side.

37
01:00:57,375 --> 01:00:58,291
On the other side.

38
01:00:58,666 --> 01:00:59,666
Welcome to the Mr. and

39
01:00:59,666 --> 01:01:00,583
Mrs. English podcast.

40
01:01:01,041 --> 01:01:01,416
I'm Megan.

41
01:01:01,833 --> 01:01:02,375
And I'm Sean.

42
01:01:02,625 --> 01:01:04,500
We're here to talk about the wild ride

43
01:01:04,500 --> 01:01:06,333
of raising kids and growing careers,

44
01:01:06,708 --> 01:01:07,791
keeping life together in

45
01:01:07,791 --> 01:01:08,875
the middle of all the chaos.

46
01:01:09,583 --> 01:01:11,541
So buckle up because we're all

47
01:01:11,541 --> 01:01:12,916
in this crazy journey together.

48
01:01:14,750 --> 01:01:15,750
Wow, that's crazy.

49
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:16,666
We just did a little

50
01:01:16,666 --> 01:01:19,041
kind of like audio intro.

51
01:01:19,541 --> 01:01:21,250
And this is episode 50.

52
01:01:21,291 --> 01:01:21,500
50.

53
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:23,416
Yeah, unbelievable.

54
01:01:24,291 --> 01:01:25,166
That's crazy.

55
01:01:25,750 --> 01:01:27,583
Yeah, 50 years we've been doing this.

56
01:01:28,083 --> 01:01:29,416
It's a bicentennial.

57
01:01:29,750 --> 01:01:30,875
We're bicentennial.

58
01:01:31,166 --> 01:01:32,000
For the listeners, it

59
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:33,750
may feel like 50 years.

60
01:01:33,750 --> 01:01:35,000
Feels like we should cheers to that.

61
01:01:35,083 --> 01:01:36,083
Cheers. Cheers.

62
01:01:36,791 --> 01:01:38,375
All right, well, we won't

63
01:01:38,375 --> 01:01:39,375
both drink at the same time.

64
01:01:39,375 --> 01:01:39,958
I'll let you take a

65
01:01:39,958 --> 01:01:41,041
sip first, ladies first,

66
01:01:41,916 --> 01:01:43,000
and alcoholics first.

67
01:01:43,875 --> 01:01:44,291
I'm just kidding.

68
01:01:45,250 --> 01:01:46,458
I'd be the one most likely,

69
01:01:46,458 --> 01:01:47,708
probably, to check that box.

70
01:01:48,166 --> 01:01:50,125
I don't think we're in that territory.

71
01:01:50,500 --> 01:01:51,125
I think we're okay.

72
01:01:51,541 --> 01:01:52,875
No, no, we're not in

73
01:01:52,875 --> 01:01:53,875
that territory, I hope.

74
01:01:54,583 --> 01:01:55,041
I hope I do.

75
01:01:55,458 --> 01:01:56,500
We might not know it by looking at some

76
01:01:56,500 --> 01:01:57,583
of our Instagram feeds.

77
01:01:57,583 --> 01:01:59,041
There's a lot of

78
01:01:59,041 --> 01:02:00,208
alcohol pouring on there.

79
01:02:00,458 --> 01:02:02,666
There is a lot of pouring.

80
01:02:02,666 --> 01:02:05,625
Well, I mean, once a week-ish, not even.

81
01:02:05,666 --> 01:02:07,333
It is, it's my one pour a week.

82
01:02:07,750 --> 01:02:09,000
And that's probably a

83
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:10,041
good place to start this,

84
01:02:11,125 --> 01:02:12,750
is blaming Mikey Kay.

85
01:02:13,208 --> 01:02:13,958
I mean, I'm strong

86
01:02:13,958 --> 01:02:15,000
enough, I'm my own man,

87
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:16,083
I can do whatever I want to.

88
01:02:17,791 --> 01:02:21,166
But I had kind of bullied you into like,

89
01:02:21,166 --> 01:02:22,416
let's just do a dry January.

90
01:02:23,291 --> 01:02:25,416
I felt like we were drinking,

91
01:02:26,208 --> 01:02:27,541
normally we drink just on the weekends.

92
01:02:28,500 --> 01:02:28,708
Right?

93
01:02:29,875 --> 01:02:31,208
Not heavily either.

94
01:02:31,458 --> 01:02:31,916
It'd be like--

95
01:02:31,958 --> 01:02:33,125
No, like on a Friday,

96
01:02:33,416 --> 01:02:34,583
Saturday, or Sunday night.

97
01:02:35,125 --> 01:02:36,500
Yeah, if not all three.

98
01:02:37,041 --> 01:02:38,000
But probably one would

99
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:38,833
be lighter than the other.

100
01:02:38,833 --> 01:02:39,541
Friday's usually the

101
01:02:39,541 --> 01:02:40,625
one that we're letting go.

102
01:02:40,833 --> 01:02:41,500
But even more so,

103
01:02:41,791 --> 01:02:43,250
more often than not now.

104
01:02:43,750 --> 01:02:44,666
You mean like we have a full,

105
01:02:44,666 --> 01:02:45,500
I have a full glass of

106
01:02:45,500 --> 01:02:46,375
wine instead of a half?

107
01:02:47,166 --> 01:02:47,416
Yeah.

108
01:02:47,666 --> 01:02:47,916
Yeah.

109
01:02:48,250 --> 01:02:49,500
Yeah, well, actually, I

110
01:02:49,500 --> 01:02:50,416
meant we're letting go

111
01:02:50,416 --> 01:02:51,541
of Fridays to some degree now,

112
01:02:51,666 --> 01:02:53,458
because more often than not, we have a

113
01:02:53,458 --> 01:02:54,208
game on Friday night.

114
01:02:54,208 --> 01:02:54,625
That's right.

115
01:02:55,125 --> 01:02:56,750
We're not drinking at the field.

116
01:02:57,375 --> 01:02:58,041
Just bomb.

117
01:02:59,333 --> 01:03:00,500
Letting go of like--

118
01:03:00,500 --> 01:03:01,000
Just bombing it.

119
01:03:01,458 --> 01:03:01,666
Control.

120
01:03:01,916 --> 01:03:02,833
No, we're not letting go of--

121
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:03,625
Yeah, yeah, anybody that

122
01:03:03,625 --> 01:03:04,541
knows this knows that's the case.

123
01:03:05,833 --> 01:03:07,083
But I had thought, you know,

124
01:03:07,083 --> 01:03:10,208
because it would maybe over the holidays,

125
01:03:10,958 --> 01:03:13,375
it's just so easy for it to

126
01:03:13,375 --> 01:03:14,833
leech into like a Tuesday,

127
01:03:15,833 --> 01:03:17,291
or if something was canceled,

128
01:03:17,291 --> 01:03:17,875
maybe a night, a

129
01:03:17,875 --> 01:03:19,083
Thursday, you know what I mean?

130
01:03:19,083 --> 01:03:19,583
Things like that.

131
01:03:20,250 --> 01:03:20,458
Exactly.

132
01:03:21,291 --> 01:03:23,041
And with all the excess anyways.

133
01:03:24,166 --> 01:03:25,916
All the excess eating, and yeah.

134
01:03:26,500 --> 01:03:30,333
And I mean, and for me, I enjoy,

135
01:03:30,791 --> 01:03:31,708
I think part of the

136
01:03:31,708 --> 01:03:33,041
enjoyment of a glass of wine

137
01:03:33,208 --> 01:03:34,250
is because I haven't had

138
01:03:34,250 --> 01:03:35,708
it in a week, you know?

139
01:03:35,708 --> 01:03:37,250
And so it's like, but when

140
01:03:37,250 --> 01:03:38,583
I have it more frequently,

141
01:03:38,583 --> 01:03:39,500
like over the holidays,

142
01:03:39,500 --> 01:03:40,916
it's like, eh, give or take.

143
01:03:41,208 --> 01:03:43,208
So it kind of is, you

144
01:03:43,208 --> 01:03:45,208
know, starting over.

145
01:03:45,583 --> 01:03:46,791
And so we were on board

146
01:03:46,791 --> 01:03:48,041
with this dry January.

147
01:03:49,125 --> 01:03:50,500
Yeah, no, I'm with that.

148
01:03:50,958 --> 01:03:51,750
And I want to come back

149
01:03:51,750 --> 01:03:52,500
to that to some degree,

150
01:03:52,500 --> 01:03:53,416
but yeah, we were on

151
01:03:53,416 --> 01:03:54,833
board for this dry January

152
01:03:55,125 --> 01:03:55,750
just to try it out,

153
01:03:55,750 --> 01:03:56,375
because we've never done it.

154
01:03:56,375 --> 01:03:57,166
I know people do it.

155
01:03:57,208 --> 01:03:57,458
Yeah.

156
01:03:57,500 --> 01:03:58,166
It wasn't really a big

157
01:03:58,166 --> 01:03:59,166
deal this year, I don't think.

158
01:03:59,166 --> 01:04:00,375
I didn't hear about anybody doing it.

159
01:04:00,375 --> 01:04:01,500
I didn't hear any, yeah.

160
01:04:02,625 --> 01:04:03,333
But I was like, I might

161
01:04:03,333 --> 01:04:04,166
as well try it, right?

162
01:04:04,166 --> 01:04:06,916
We'll see people, you read, you know,

163
01:04:06,916 --> 01:04:08,333
that it made you feel way better,

164
01:04:08,750 --> 01:04:10,125
detox you and all this

165
01:04:10,125 --> 01:04:10,666
kind of stuff, right?

166
01:04:10,708 --> 01:04:10,958
Right.

167
01:04:11,375 --> 01:04:12,583
All the health benefits for it,

168
01:04:12,583 --> 01:04:14,125
or just the benefits period of it.

169
01:04:14,500 --> 01:04:16,375
Well, dry January turned

170
01:04:16,375 --> 01:04:18,291
into, let's start the third,

171
01:04:18,541 --> 01:04:19,750
because there's a lot of good football

172
01:04:19,833 --> 01:04:22,041
on the first and second, right?

173
01:04:22,250 --> 01:04:24,041
So it's like, it's like,

174
01:04:24,041 --> 01:04:25,458
we're just gonna chop off,

175
01:04:25,458 --> 01:04:26,000
you know, it's just

176
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:27,125
gonna be a short January.

177
01:04:27,250 --> 01:04:28,333
I mean, we were still going through

178
01:04:28,333 --> 01:04:29,000
the New Year's holiday.

179
01:04:29,541 --> 01:04:31,416
Right, I mean, it was still time off,

180
01:04:31,416 --> 01:04:32,375
kids hadn't gotten back to school,

181
01:04:32,375 --> 01:04:33,416
so most of you would

182
01:04:33,416 --> 01:04:34,916
understand dry January,

183
01:04:35,291 --> 01:04:36,833
I think most people handle it that way.

184
01:04:36,833 --> 01:04:37,291
I think so.

185
01:04:37,291 --> 01:04:37,875
It doesn't start till

186
01:04:37,875 --> 01:04:38,583
you go back to work.

187
01:04:38,833 --> 01:04:39,375
Of course.

188
01:04:39,625 --> 01:04:41,750
Right, if you've been off for two weeks,

189
01:04:42,375 --> 01:04:44,125
it's not gonna start at the end of that.

190
01:04:44,333 --> 01:04:44,958
That's crazy.

191
01:04:45,250 --> 01:04:46,708
No, you're like, I'm going back to work

192
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:48,416
for like the longest stretch of time

193
01:04:48,541 --> 01:04:49,708
that I don't get a paid holiday.

194
01:04:49,833 --> 01:04:50,416
That's right, that's

195
01:04:50,416 --> 01:04:51,291
right, that would be insane.

196
01:04:51,625 --> 01:04:54,250
So as all normal human beings would do,

197
01:04:54,583 --> 01:04:54,916
Yes.

198
01:04:55,500 --> 01:04:56,291
We started on the

199
01:04:56,291 --> 01:04:57,125
third, or whatever it was.

200
01:04:57,625 --> 01:04:59,000
Anyways, so we had

201
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:01,333
totally planned on that,

202
01:05:01,333 --> 01:05:02,041
and then we did really

203
01:05:02,041 --> 01:05:04,333
good for about 10 days,

204
01:05:05,291 --> 01:05:06,166
till I had to travel.

205
01:05:06,750 --> 01:05:07,500
Yeah, I did.

206
01:05:07,500 --> 01:05:08,500
And, go ahead.

207
01:05:09,125 --> 01:05:11,000
By we being like,

208
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:12,333
yeah, we did really well.

209
01:05:13,500 --> 01:05:14,250
That's what I said by we.

210
01:05:14,500 --> 01:05:14,666
Yeah.

211
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:15,916
I said, you didn't

212
01:05:15,916 --> 01:05:16,791
change what I said at all.

213
01:05:16,875 --> 01:05:17,458
You're right, you're right.

214
01:05:18,750 --> 01:05:20,625
So I ended up traveling for soccer,

215
01:05:21,625 --> 01:05:22,500
and all the dads, I

216
01:05:22,500 --> 01:05:23,291
talked about it last week,

217
01:05:23,291 --> 01:05:23,875
we stayed up till two

218
01:05:23,875 --> 01:05:24,541
o'clock in the morning,

219
01:05:24,750 --> 01:05:26,208
and we definitely had some drinks.

220
01:05:26,541 --> 01:05:28,375
Which, you know, we had talked before,

221
01:05:28,708 --> 01:05:29,916
as husband and wife, had a

222
01:05:29,916 --> 01:05:31,000
very serious conversation.

223
01:05:31,416 --> 01:05:31,875
Very, yeah.

224
01:05:32,125 --> 01:05:33,708
I said, hey, just so you know,

225
01:05:34,833 --> 01:05:35,750
there's a chance dry

226
01:05:35,750 --> 01:05:37,125
January might be slightly damp.

227
01:05:37,416 --> 01:05:39,833
Yeah, and I was like, go for it.

228
01:05:40,291 --> 01:05:42,500
Knowing that I would be, you know,

229
01:05:42,500 --> 01:05:44,166
sitting at the bar with all the dads,

230
01:05:44,750 --> 01:05:46,166
watching football and basketball,

231
01:05:47,125 --> 01:05:48,000
soccer dads, yeah.

232
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:49,000
Fuck, well, exactly.

233
01:05:49,583 --> 01:05:50,500
And then Mikey Kay.

234
01:05:51,416 --> 01:05:51,916
Mikey Kay.

235
01:05:52,750 --> 01:05:55,708
As I endearingly refer to him.

236
01:05:56,833 --> 01:05:56,875
(laughing)

237
01:05:56,958 --> 01:05:58,041
Mikey Kay brings down, I

238
01:05:58,041 --> 01:05:58,916
talked about it last week,

239
01:05:59,250 --> 01:06:00,500
old fashions, and I

240
01:06:00,500 --> 01:06:01,208
definitely can't say no

241
01:06:01,208 --> 01:06:01,916
in an old passion,

242
01:06:02,333 --> 01:06:03,208
especially when Mikey Kay

243
01:06:03,208 --> 01:06:03,791
is bringing it down.

244
01:06:04,958 --> 01:06:08,041
Exactly, and I do think, I

245
01:06:08,041 --> 01:06:09,500
know this is lighthearted,

246
01:06:09,500 --> 01:06:11,958
but I do think that it's really important

247
01:06:11,958 --> 01:06:13,208
for you to have that time

248
01:06:13,208 --> 01:06:15,416
with other male friends.

249
01:06:15,666 --> 01:06:19,291
And so, while I did not turn in,

250
01:06:19,291 --> 01:06:21,291
it did not turn into damp January for me,

251
01:06:21,291 --> 01:06:23,125
who was alone with two kids,

252
01:06:23,500 --> 01:06:24,208
and I was like, well, I

253
01:06:24,208 --> 01:06:26,375
guess I would drink by myself,

254
01:06:26,375 --> 01:06:30,166
and for you, I was super supportive,

255
01:06:30,166 --> 01:06:30,791
because I was like,

256
01:06:30,791 --> 01:06:32,375
how often do you get time

257
01:06:32,500 --> 01:06:33,708
with male friends?

258
01:06:34,166 --> 01:06:35,166
Right, not that often.

259
01:06:35,166 --> 01:06:37,166
Not that often, so enjoy it.

260
01:06:37,250 --> 01:06:38,625
Especially when I'm willing to stay up,

261
01:06:38,958 --> 01:06:40,083
as we talked about last week.

262
01:06:40,833 --> 01:06:41,625
I've known you a long time.

263
01:06:42,125 --> 01:06:43,708
Anyway, so as you can tell, I mean,

264
01:06:44,416 --> 01:06:46,583
as we shoot this, it's the 26th,

265
01:06:46,750 --> 01:06:47,875
so it's just continuing

266
01:06:47,875 --> 01:06:49,583
to rain in January for us.

267
01:06:50,541 --> 01:06:50,583
(laughing)

268
01:06:50,916 --> 01:06:52,250
Well, and we broke

269
01:06:52,250 --> 01:06:54,791
because of the snowstorm

270
01:06:54,791 --> 01:06:55,875
this past weekend.

271
01:06:56,166 --> 01:06:56,875
Yeah, that's right.

272
01:06:56,916 --> 01:07:02,250
So, everything, schedule 100% cleared,

273
01:07:03,208 --> 01:07:05,125
we're now on day four of a

274
01:07:05,125 --> 01:07:07,166
completely cleared schedule.

275
01:07:07,875 --> 01:07:09,375
Yes, huge point.

276
01:07:09,750 --> 01:07:10,125
Completely.

277
01:07:10,500 --> 01:07:11,916
Because, I mean, people

278
01:07:11,916 --> 01:07:13,625
that are in our phase of life,

279
01:07:13,750 --> 01:07:15,375
we never get this, right?

280
01:07:15,541 --> 01:07:16,583
And so it's like, we're sitting at home

281
01:07:16,583 --> 01:07:18,750
for literally three, four nights in a row

282
01:07:19,125 --> 01:07:20,208
with nothing to do.

283
01:07:20,750 --> 01:07:22,750
Even during the day, it's insane.

284
01:07:22,958 --> 01:07:24,375
I mean, we did Legos,

285
01:07:24,375 --> 01:07:25,333
we're watching movies,

286
01:07:25,875 --> 01:07:27,166
you're getting to actual chores.

287
01:07:27,166 --> 01:07:27,875
I actually got to

288
01:07:27,875 --> 01:07:28,833
some chores at the house.

289
01:07:29,916 --> 01:07:31,833
What was I gonna say about that, though?

290
01:07:32,416 --> 01:07:34,333
And that was on the heels

291
01:07:34,333 --> 01:07:37,083
of the previous two weeks,

292
01:07:37,708 --> 01:07:39,458
which we did say that one game,

293
01:07:39,708 --> 01:07:40,958
that one, we had 12 or

294
01:07:40,958 --> 01:07:41,708
something like that in a weekend.

295
01:07:41,958 --> 01:07:42,166
12.

296
01:07:42,750 --> 01:07:44,000
And you've done the math on the two weeks

297
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:44,791
or whatever it was.

298
01:07:44,833 --> 01:07:47,875
For two weekends, we had 20

299
01:07:47,875 --> 01:07:50,833
games across the three kids.

300
01:07:51,125 --> 01:07:53,541
20 games in two weekends.

301
01:07:53,541 --> 01:07:57,125
That's not inclusive of weekday practices

302
01:07:57,500 --> 01:07:58,833
or what doesn't include

303
01:07:58,833 --> 01:08:00,291
all of the volunteer hours

304
01:08:00,291 --> 01:08:01,000
that two of our

305
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:02,541
children got over the weekends,

306
01:08:02,875 --> 01:08:03,666
nor does it include

307
01:08:03,666 --> 01:08:04,791
the birthday celebration

308
01:08:05,250 --> 01:08:06,250
that we snuck in there.

309
01:08:06,791 --> 01:08:09,708
So, it actually was pretty easy to be dry

310
01:08:09,708 --> 01:08:12,000
because we were too busy.

311
01:08:12,666 --> 01:08:14,083
To do anything.

312
01:08:14,833 --> 01:08:15,375
And I think if we had a

313
01:08:15,375 --> 01:08:16,500
regular weekend this weekend,

314
01:08:16,500 --> 01:08:17,166
which we were supposed

315
01:08:17,166 --> 01:08:18,750
to have a tournament again

316
01:08:18,750 --> 01:08:20,083
this weekend, then we

317
01:08:20,083 --> 01:08:21,166
probably would have been fine

318
01:08:21,166 --> 01:08:22,166
to be dry that whole time.

319
01:08:22,333 --> 01:08:22,541
Totally.

320
01:08:23,041 --> 01:08:23,833
I guess the moral of the

321
01:08:23,833 --> 01:08:24,875
story is don't leave us

322
01:08:24,875 --> 01:08:26,666
to ourselves because

323
01:08:26,666 --> 01:08:29,500
our worst vices surface.

324
01:08:31,375 --> 01:08:32,500
We were around the

325
01:08:32,500 --> 01:08:35,791
wine fridge and the bar,

326
01:08:36,333 --> 01:08:38,000
you know, in our home bar.

327
01:08:38,375 --> 01:08:39,416
Yeah, yeah.

328
01:08:40,083 --> 01:08:43,208
But it was so nice to

329
01:08:43,208 --> 01:08:45,708
not have to worry about,

330
01:08:46,708 --> 01:08:51,083
I mean, the daily logistic touch point

331
01:08:51,083 --> 01:08:52,000
that you and I have every

332
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:53,000
single day of you go here,

333
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:55,125
I go there and then we're gonna meet here

334
01:08:55,125 --> 01:08:56,458
so that we can then,

335
01:08:56,458 --> 01:08:57,833
you know, do four flips.

336
01:08:58,625 --> 01:09:00,958
It just didn't happen.

337
01:09:00,958 --> 01:09:01,916
It was amazing.

338
01:09:02,333 --> 01:09:03,125
Yeah, yeah.

339
01:09:03,375 --> 01:09:04,958
We had to celebrate that and we

340
01:09:04,958 --> 01:09:06,166
celebrated with a glass.

341
01:09:07,208 --> 01:09:08,958
We did, we did, that's right.

342
01:09:09,958 --> 01:09:11,000
So bringing that back

343
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:14,375
to the storm in Texas,

344
01:09:14,583 --> 01:09:15,500
obviously this is

345
01:09:15,500 --> 01:09:16,666
something that in Minnesota

346
01:09:16,666 --> 01:09:17,583
would be a non-event.

347
01:09:18,291 --> 01:09:18,583
Correct.

348
01:09:19,583 --> 01:09:20,416
And it's tough to

349
01:09:20,416 --> 01:09:22,125
mention Minnesota right now

350
01:09:22,125 --> 01:09:23,208
without bringing some

351
01:09:23,208 --> 01:09:24,083
thoughts to my head,

352
01:09:24,083 --> 01:09:24,708
but we're gonna set

353
01:09:24,708 --> 01:09:28,333
those aside and just say,

354
01:09:28,333 --> 01:09:29,833
how the heck did you live there?

355
01:09:30,541 --> 01:09:32,041
Because this is pretty

356
01:09:32,041 --> 01:09:33,500
normal for, you know,

357
01:09:33,958 --> 01:09:36,666
a good chunk of the sun, a winner, right?

358
01:09:37,166 --> 01:09:38,208
Oh my goodness, yeah.

359
01:09:38,541 --> 01:09:39,375
I mean, the temperatures

360
01:09:39,375 --> 01:09:40,750
that we've been having in Texas

361
01:09:41,041 --> 01:09:42,625
are nothing compared to the temperatures

362
01:09:42,791 --> 01:09:43,708
that they have all

363
01:09:43,708 --> 01:09:46,541
winter long in Minnesota.

364
01:09:46,958 --> 01:09:47,166
Right.

365
01:09:47,750 --> 01:09:50,208
And I don't know.

366
01:09:50,666 --> 01:09:51,750
But you don't like it either now.

367
01:09:51,750 --> 01:09:52,500
I mean, your blood's thin.

368
01:09:53,041 --> 01:09:54,583
I never liked it to begin with.

369
01:09:54,625 --> 01:09:55,666
Yeah, you just dealt with it.

370
01:09:55,666 --> 01:09:56,500
I dealt with it.

371
01:09:56,500 --> 01:09:56,791
Okay.

372
01:09:57,041 --> 01:09:59,291
And as a kid, I mean, it

373
01:09:59,291 --> 01:10:00,625
is fun to play in the snow.

374
01:10:00,875 --> 01:10:02,291
I was telling the kids this weekend,

375
01:10:02,291 --> 01:10:03,041
I was like, when it

376
01:10:03,041 --> 01:10:05,041
was 20 degrees and snowy,

377
01:10:05,500 --> 01:10:06,416
that really was fun.

378
01:10:06,458 --> 01:10:07,250
Growing up in Colorado,

379
01:10:07,458 --> 01:10:08,375
you have to appreciate

380
01:10:08,375 --> 01:10:12,500
that like 25 degree super snowy weather

381
01:10:12,500 --> 01:10:13,750
as a kid is amazing.

382
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:14,958
Oh yeah, oh yeah.

383
01:10:15,333 --> 01:10:17,125
I mean, here is five degrees in snowing.

384
01:10:17,250 --> 01:10:18,583
Coming in, you're soaked

385
01:10:18,958 --> 01:10:21,041
because your snow

386
01:10:21,041 --> 01:10:22,333
layers didn't do anything,

387
01:10:22,333 --> 01:10:24,875
but just soak it up, you know,

388
01:10:24,875 --> 01:10:25,666
and like just leaving

389
01:10:25,666 --> 01:10:27,000
it by the front door,

390
01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:29,375
just melting the best.

391
01:10:30,041 --> 01:10:31,333
I mean, everybody can smell.

392
01:10:31,333 --> 01:10:32,000
I mean, I do.

393
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:34,041
I remember the smell of like the gloves

394
01:10:34,791 --> 01:10:35,291
because they're like

395
01:10:35,291 --> 01:10:37,166
wet, sweaty, you know,

396
01:10:37,166 --> 01:10:38,375
I mean, just kids, just

397
01:10:38,375 --> 01:10:39,750
nasty kid smells, you know?

398
01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:41,166
Yeah, like absolutely.

399
01:10:41,208 --> 01:10:42,375
That was the best being numb.

400
01:10:43,375 --> 01:10:44,250
Our kids are doing it now.

401
01:10:44,625 --> 01:10:45,083
Oh yeah.

402
01:10:45,500 --> 01:10:46,250
Our youngest has been

403
01:10:46,250 --> 01:10:47,708
outside for like two hours today.

404
01:10:47,708 --> 01:10:48,666
It is a little warmer

405
01:10:48,666 --> 01:10:49,833
today than yesterday, but.

406
01:10:49,833 --> 01:10:50,791
Yeah, this morning was a low,

407
01:10:51,708 --> 01:10:52,208
but at least they're

408
01:10:52,208 --> 01:10:53,875
getting to know the fact

409
01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:55,583
that there's different kinds of snow.

410
01:10:56,041 --> 01:10:57,416
Go up in Texas, they didn't.

411
01:10:57,416 --> 01:10:58,500
I remember there was

412
01:10:58,500 --> 01:10:59,666
somebody at one point in time

413
01:10:59,666 --> 01:11:02,666
that annoyed me and I think we've since

414
01:11:02,666 --> 01:11:03,708
come to terms on it,

415
01:11:03,750 --> 01:11:05,125
but they tried to make fun of our kids.

416
01:11:05,125 --> 01:11:06,083
They didn't know how to make snowballs.

417
01:11:06,083 --> 01:11:06,625
And it's like, our kids

418
01:11:06,625 --> 01:11:07,583
have never been around snow.

419
01:11:08,333 --> 01:11:08,541
Right.

420
01:11:08,583 --> 01:11:09,791
I mean, I get it.

421
01:11:09,791 --> 01:11:10,750
Making snowballs is

422
01:11:10,750 --> 01:11:13,333
somewhat maybe self-explanatory

423
01:11:13,333 --> 01:11:14,041
to some degree.

424
01:11:14,458 --> 01:11:15,416
If you've been in snow.

425
01:11:15,583 --> 01:11:16,625
But if you've never been in snow,

426
01:11:17,375 --> 01:11:19,458
yeah, maybe you've seen

427
01:11:19,458 --> 01:11:21,166
somebody model it for you first

428
01:11:21,166 --> 01:11:21,958
and then you do it.

429
01:11:21,958 --> 01:11:22,375
You know what I mean?

430
01:11:23,125 --> 01:11:23,916
It doesn't take an

431
01:11:23,916 --> 01:11:25,291
extensive amount of training,

432
01:11:25,291 --> 01:11:27,208
but like it does like, oh, oh,

433
01:11:27,208 --> 01:11:27,875
that's how you do it snowball.

434
01:11:27,875 --> 01:11:28,333
But there's been

435
01:11:28,333 --> 01:11:29,833
enough snow now is my point

436
01:11:29,833 --> 01:11:30,958
is they're getting to know like,

437
01:11:31,333 --> 01:11:33,208
this is not the fun snow you

438
01:11:33,208 --> 01:11:34,708
can run and jump off the deck

439
01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:38,166
and just, you know, lay back in.

440
01:11:39,125 --> 01:11:40,041
This would, if you did

441
01:11:40,041 --> 01:11:41,750
that today, you would run.

442
01:11:41,750 --> 01:11:42,041
It would be like

443
01:11:42,041 --> 01:11:43,750
landing on white asphalt.

444
01:11:44,375 --> 01:11:46,125
Except you just slide away.

445
01:11:46,375 --> 01:11:46,666
Exactly.

446
01:11:47,625 --> 01:11:47,958
It is.

447
01:11:48,541 --> 01:11:49,458
This is the strangest

448
01:11:49,458 --> 01:11:50,583
snow I've ever seen actually.

449
01:11:50,583 --> 01:11:51,333
Cause it looks like

450
01:11:51,333 --> 01:11:53,541
it's snow and it is snow.

451
01:11:53,541 --> 01:11:54,208
I mean, and there's,

452
01:11:54,208 --> 01:11:55,000
you know, a couple inches

453
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:56,458
and it covers grass and everything.

454
01:11:56,458 --> 01:11:57,166
And then there's drifts

455
01:11:57,166 --> 01:11:58,125
that are a couple feet.

456
01:11:58,916 --> 01:11:59,833
Cause it was really windy,

457
01:12:00,166 --> 01:12:01,875
but it is hard as a rock.

458
01:12:01,875 --> 01:12:02,916
So I've taken the dog

459
01:12:02,916 --> 01:12:04,666
out and keep in mind,

460
01:12:04,666 --> 01:12:07,041
she's a, Paris is a princess puppy.

461
01:12:07,625 --> 01:12:09,875
She gets carried to her potty spot.

462
01:12:11,375 --> 01:12:12,125
She doesn't like cold.

463
01:12:12,125 --> 01:12:12,708
She's eight pounds.

464
01:12:13,375 --> 01:12:14,875
Anyway, so I carry her out there.

465
01:12:15,166 --> 01:12:16,833
I don't know every three, four hours.

466
01:12:17,208 --> 01:12:18,583
I have yet to make a footprint.

467
01:12:19,541 --> 01:12:21,083
Like I am not even heavy

468
01:12:21,083 --> 01:12:22,208
enough to make a footprint

469
01:12:22,791 --> 01:12:24,375
on this snow ice

470
01:12:24,375 --> 01:12:25,708
combination that we have.

471
01:12:25,916 --> 01:12:26,833
So here's why I have

472
01:12:26,833 --> 01:12:28,083
failed as a husband on this one,

473
01:12:28,208 --> 01:12:29,750
for sure, because I

474
01:12:29,750 --> 01:12:31,166
pretty much got in my head

475
01:12:31,333 --> 01:12:32,083
when the whole city

476
01:12:32,083 --> 01:12:32,833
was going to shut down.

477
01:12:32,833 --> 01:12:33,625
We knew this was coming.

478
01:12:34,291 --> 01:12:34,791
I'm like, I'm not

479
01:12:34,791 --> 01:12:35,541
going to leave the house

480
01:12:35,541 --> 01:12:36,541
for like three days.

481
01:12:36,541 --> 01:12:37,250
Like literally, I'm

482
01:12:37,250 --> 01:12:38,166
not going outside for,

483
01:12:38,166 --> 01:12:38,791
I don't even need to

484
01:12:38,791 --> 01:12:39,750
go outside for anything.

485
01:12:40,375 --> 01:12:41,250
Now I did one time

486
01:12:41,250 --> 01:12:42,583
cause we had some wind blow

487
01:12:42,583 --> 01:12:44,250
some like chair covers and stuff off.

488
01:12:44,250 --> 01:12:45,541
So I've been outside, but

489
01:12:45,541 --> 01:12:47,416
my point where I failed you

490
01:12:47,416 --> 01:12:48,708
is when you last night, you're like, hey,

491
01:12:48,708 --> 01:12:49,208
will you just kind of

492
01:12:49,208 --> 01:12:50,458
monitor how long I'm outside?

493
01:12:50,750 --> 01:12:52,250
If I fall and I'm not back

494
01:12:52,250 --> 01:12:53,666
inside for 30 minutes or so,

495
01:12:53,666 --> 01:12:54,875
maybe come looking for me.

496
01:12:55,208 --> 01:12:55,708
It's true.

497
01:12:56,625 --> 01:12:58,000
Cause I was asking the kids like,

498
01:12:58,500 --> 01:12:59,208
you guys weren't going to know

499
01:12:59,208 --> 01:13:00,500
necessarily if I slip.

500
01:13:01,666 --> 01:13:02,708
I mean, it is, it's like

501
01:13:02,708 --> 01:13:04,291
you're skating the whole time.

502
01:13:04,291 --> 01:13:04,708
A hundred percent.

503
01:13:05,041 --> 01:13:06,958
So the responsible

504
01:13:06,958 --> 01:13:08,625
husband I am who's worried

505
01:13:08,625 --> 01:13:10,875
about your wellbeing, I

506
01:13:10,875 --> 01:13:12,458
pulled you up on the ring camera

507
01:13:12,625 --> 01:13:14,875
in the back and I watched you out there

508
01:13:14,875 --> 01:13:16,125
and I turned on the microphone.

509
01:13:16,125 --> 01:13:17,083
I told you, good job.

510
01:13:17,458 --> 01:13:18,458
You made it down the stairs.

511
01:13:18,791 --> 01:13:19,708
But as I'm looking at

512
01:13:19,708 --> 01:13:20,458
what you're talking about,

513
01:13:20,458 --> 01:13:23,500
the stairs are full of snow, frozen ice.

514
01:13:23,541 --> 01:13:24,291
And so they're basically

515
01:13:24,291 --> 01:13:27,041
like round lumps of slippery,

516
01:13:27,708 --> 01:13:30,625
slippy, sabotaged stairs.

517
01:13:31,291 --> 01:13:31,541
100%.

518
01:13:32,291 --> 01:13:36,583
So to be clear, the wind has blown this

519
01:13:36,583 --> 01:13:37,875
ice snow combination

520
01:13:38,250 --> 01:13:38,833
like up.

521
01:13:38,833 --> 01:13:39,458
And so it's hitting like

522
01:13:39,458 --> 01:13:40,583
the riser of the stair,

523
01:13:40,583 --> 01:13:41,541
the part that goes up.

524
01:13:41,541 --> 01:13:42,875
So you no longer have the nice

525
01:13:42,875 --> 01:13:44,291
perpendicular flat step.

526
01:13:44,875 --> 01:13:47,666
It is one sheet.

527
01:13:47,666 --> 01:13:49,916
It is one ramp all the way down.

528
01:13:49,916 --> 01:13:51,083
You don't even have steps.

529
01:13:51,083 --> 01:13:52,666
It's truly a ramp.

530
01:13:53,333 --> 01:13:55,041
Kind of, but yeah, it's mostly a ramp.

531
01:13:55,250 --> 01:13:56,541
It's mostly a ramp.

532
01:13:56,541 --> 01:13:57,250
You could make it to a

533
01:13:57,250 --> 01:13:58,916
ramp real easy is the point,

534
01:13:58,916 --> 01:13:59,958
is why you're nervous too.

535
01:14:00,291 --> 01:14:01,250
So my point where I failed

536
01:14:01,250 --> 01:14:02,625
you on this is I'm watching you

537
01:14:02,625 --> 01:14:03,375
from the ring camera

538
01:14:03,375 --> 01:14:04,833
last night going like,

539
01:14:05,958 --> 01:14:06,916
somebody probably should

540
01:14:06,916 --> 01:14:08,250
have shoveled those stairs

541
01:14:08,250 --> 01:14:09,583
or maybe even had the

542
01:14:09,583 --> 01:14:11,458
forethought to buy some salt.

543
01:14:11,458 --> 01:14:12,500
We could have iced a couple.

544
01:14:12,500 --> 01:14:13,250
We could have salted a

545
01:14:13,250 --> 01:14:14,333
couple of the pathways.

546
01:14:15,291 --> 01:14:17,291
Not one thought was given to it.

547
01:14:17,583 --> 01:14:18,291
Not even one.

548
01:14:19,916 --> 01:14:21,625
Again, this is the chaos train.

549
01:14:21,666 --> 01:14:23,750
And I told Megan, it's like,

550
01:14:23,750 --> 01:14:24,541
we don't want to get on here

551
01:14:24,541 --> 01:14:25,500
and just all day long

552
01:14:25,500 --> 01:14:26,833
compared to how busy we are.

553
01:14:27,250 --> 01:14:28,250
Last week was an extremely

554
01:14:28,250 --> 01:14:30,541
busy week away from the kids.

555
01:14:31,083 --> 01:14:32,208
Clearly we've talked about

556
01:14:32,208 --> 01:14:33,166
the kids having a busy week.

557
01:14:33,166 --> 01:14:35,750
We had a busy week from work

558
01:14:35,750 --> 01:14:36,500
and all that kind of stuff.

559
01:14:36,500 --> 01:14:37,125
I wasn't at the house.

560
01:14:37,125 --> 01:14:37,541
Some of the times

561
01:14:37,541 --> 01:14:38,333
finishing up some things.

562
01:14:38,958 --> 01:14:40,875
Long story short, I mean,

563
01:14:41,083 --> 01:14:42,625
just swinging and missing

564
01:14:42,625 --> 01:14:44,583
on that one, like no forethought.

565
01:14:44,833 --> 01:14:45,708
There's been times.

566
01:14:45,708 --> 01:14:46,958
I mean, I've had ice,

567
01:14:47,166 --> 01:14:47,791
I mean, I've had salt

568
01:14:47,791 --> 01:14:48,583
at this house before

569
01:14:48,583 --> 01:14:50,208
because I've had the forethought.

570
01:14:50,750 --> 01:14:52,000
I brought the shovel down.

571
01:14:52,000 --> 01:14:53,541
I've actually shoveled that back before.

572
01:14:53,541 --> 01:14:54,625
You have, yeah, yeah.

573
01:14:54,708 --> 01:14:55,458
Not this time.

574
01:14:56,416 --> 01:14:57,333
Didn't even cross my

575
01:14:57,333 --> 01:14:58,500
mind until last night.

576
01:14:58,500 --> 01:14:59,166
I'm watching you in the

577
01:14:59,166 --> 01:15:01,000
ring going, well done.

578
01:15:01,500 --> 01:15:02,208
Well, because you have to

579
01:15:02,208 --> 01:15:03,541
go down the stairs sideways.

580
01:15:03,791 --> 01:15:06,541
You actually can't go down facing down.

581
01:15:06,541 --> 01:15:08,208
Like if you have to

582
01:15:08,208 --> 01:15:09,625
sidestep it all the way down,

583
01:15:09,625 --> 01:15:10,333
it's that steep.

584
01:15:10,541 --> 01:15:12,833
It's how you would basically

585
01:15:12,833 --> 01:15:15,000
probably climb down Everest.

586
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:16,333
I'm guessing.

587
01:15:16,541 --> 01:15:17,250
Yeah, I mean, if I could

588
01:15:17,250 --> 01:15:18,083
just get some crampons.

589
01:15:18,083 --> 01:15:19,083
If you could get a rope.

590
01:15:19,541 --> 01:15:20,666
If you get a rope there.

591
01:15:20,666 --> 01:15:21,958
I know, I know.

592
01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:22,541
We don't have like

593
01:15:22,541 --> 01:15:23,583
handles on those stairs

594
01:15:23,583 --> 01:15:24,166
or anything like that.

595
01:15:24,166 --> 01:15:24,666
I thought about that before.

596
01:15:24,708 --> 01:15:25,666
We don't, we have no

597
01:15:25,666 --> 01:15:26,666
handles on these stairs.

598
01:15:27,041 --> 01:15:29,875
Like, yeah, so it really is a death trap.

599
01:15:29,875 --> 01:15:30,416
And it's like, huh.

600
01:15:30,416 --> 01:15:31,708
It is, it is.

601
01:15:31,958 --> 01:15:32,958
And I just threw you to

602
01:15:32,958 --> 01:15:34,500
the wolves, to the ice.

603
01:15:35,041 --> 01:15:36,916
Well, and then, okay,

604
01:15:36,916 --> 01:15:38,458
so on the ring camera,

605
01:15:38,458 --> 01:15:39,958
the microphone doesn't work very well.

606
01:15:40,500 --> 01:15:41,875
So actually, you scared

607
01:15:41,875 --> 01:15:43,833
the ass of crap out of me

608
01:15:43,833 --> 01:15:44,416
when all of a sudden

609
01:15:44,416 --> 01:15:45,208
I'm hearing this like,

610
01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:49,166
(imitates a crash) and so I like jerk.

611
01:15:49,791 --> 01:15:50,583
I'm like, ugh.

612
01:15:50,625 --> 01:15:51,791
I wondered about that.

613
01:15:51,791 --> 01:15:53,125
As I'm on ice, I--

614
01:15:53,750 --> 01:15:54,541
You're already down

615
01:15:54,541 --> 01:15:55,500
when I said it though.

616
01:15:55,833 --> 01:15:57,250
You're on the bottom level.

617
01:15:57,708 --> 01:15:58,166
I was on the bottom.

618
01:15:59,166 --> 01:16:01,000
But I was like, that

619
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:02,166
did not help my love.

620
01:16:02,750 --> 01:16:03,750
Well, you know, I

621
01:16:03,750 --> 01:16:06,291
mean, hey, life's tough.

622
01:16:06,750 --> 01:16:08,500
You know, if our backyard

623
01:16:08,500 --> 01:16:11,125
stairs turn into, you know,

624
01:16:11,625 --> 01:16:12,375
Mount Everest where

625
01:16:12,375 --> 01:16:13,625
they've got just, you know,

626
01:16:13,833 --> 01:16:14,833
dead people along the

627
01:16:14,833 --> 01:16:15,708
sideways of the path

628
01:16:15,916 --> 01:16:16,625
that you just have to

629
01:16:16,625 --> 01:16:18,000
cross because they're frozen

630
01:16:18,166 --> 01:16:19,875
and it's too hard to remove them

631
01:16:19,875 --> 01:16:22,958
and that ends up you, it's hot there.

632
01:16:24,333 --> 01:16:25,666
That's the funniest visual.

633
01:16:26,083 --> 01:16:26,750
I mean, it's a terrible

634
01:16:26,750 --> 01:16:27,708
visual, but it's hilarious.

635
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:32,625
So if anybody watches Dateline.

636
01:16:34,166 --> 01:16:35,208
That was the first one.

637
01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:36,833
So many Datelines.

638
01:16:37,125 --> 01:16:40,541
I mean, transition to Dateline.

639
01:16:41,291 --> 01:16:42,083
Guess what?

640
01:16:42,500 --> 01:16:44,958
I think we got a big clue right there.

641
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:46,500
So many husbands killed

642
01:16:46,500 --> 01:16:47,916
their wives, it's incredible.

643
01:16:48,875 --> 01:16:50,625
I know, if you do watch Dateline,

644
01:16:50,625 --> 01:16:52,291
I think you lose your faith in humanity.

645
01:16:52,875 --> 01:16:54,125
However, so many wives

646
01:16:54,125 --> 01:16:55,375
poison their husbands.

647
01:16:55,625 --> 01:16:56,333
I know. Killing them.

648
01:16:57,250 --> 01:16:57,458
Yeah.

649
01:16:57,833 --> 01:16:59,000
And I had an upset stomach

650
01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:00,208
this weekend out of nowhere

651
01:17:00,375 --> 01:17:01,416
from something I ate,

652
01:17:01,416 --> 01:17:02,958
everybody else seemed to be fine.

653
01:17:03,416 --> 01:17:03,916
I know.

654
01:17:04,208 --> 01:17:07,458
So if anybody's watching this, look back.

655
01:17:09,166 --> 01:17:09,208
(laughing)

656
01:17:09,208 --> 01:17:11,916
If one of us dies in the next month

657
01:17:12,541 --> 01:17:13,375
under mysterious

658
01:17:13,375 --> 01:17:15,000
circumstances, investigate.

659
01:17:15,541 --> 01:17:16,083
Investigate.

660
01:17:16,083 --> 01:17:17,625
Oh wait, it's not gonna work though.

661
01:17:18,083 --> 01:17:19,000
We did not just

662
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:20,500
increase our life insurance.

663
01:17:21,666 --> 01:17:23,000
They always increase their life insurance

664
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:23,833
like the month before.

665
01:17:23,833 --> 01:17:24,958
Always, right before it happens.

666
01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:26,458
Yeah, it's a shocker.

667
01:17:26,458 --> 01:17:27,416
Yeah, it's amazing.

668
01:17:27,791 --> 01:17:28,416
By the way, I just

669
01:17:28,416 --> 01:17:29,125
upped your life insurance.

670
01:17:29,708 --> 01:17:30,375
(laughing)

671
01:17:31,208 --> 01:17:32,708
I had no notification of this.

672
01:17:33,041 --> 01:17:34,416
It's always some pathetic amount,

673
01:17:34,416 --> 01:17:35,416
I shouldn't say pathetic amount.

674
01:17:36,083 --> 01:17:37,166
Everybody has their own

675
01:17:37,166 --> 01:17:39,041
life, but it's always like,

676
01:17:39,791 --> 01:17:42,708
well they had $70,000 of life insurance.

677
01:17:42,708 --> 01:17:43,041
Like you're gonna

678
01:17:43,041 --> 01:17:44,333
kill someone for $70,000.

679
01:17:45,125 --> 01:17:45,541
Right, like.

680
01:17:45,541 --> 01:17:48,291
The person you once loved and married,

681
01:17:48,291 --> 01:17:48,750
for better or for

682
01:17:48,750 --> 01:17:50,208
worse, unless it's 70 grand.

683
01:17:51,125 --> 01:17:52,458
I mean, really, yeah.

684
01:17:52,791 --> 01:17:53,333
It's crazy.

685
01:17:54,291 --> 01:17:56,041
You really put the price

686
01:17:56,041 --> 01:17:57,500
of a human life at that.

687
01:17:57,708 --> 01:17:58,541
I mean, come on.

688
01:17:58,666 --> 01:17:59,125
I mean, some of them are

689
01:17:59,125 --> 01:18:00,458
gonna be like $200,000.

690
01:18:00,458 --> 01:18:02,583
I mean, granted, $200,000 is

691
01:18:02,583 --> 01:18:04,333
not a small amount of money,

692
01:18:04,750 --> 01:18:07,125
but I would hope you would think I was

693
01:18:07,125 --> 01:18:08,125
worth more than $200,000

694
01:18:08,291 --> 01:18:09,541
and your life is worth more than $2,000.

695
01:18:10,250 --> 01:18:10,500
Yes!

696
01:18:10,750 --> 01:18:10,958
Yeah.

697
01:18:12,041 --> 01:18:13,958
Well, that and you would

698
01:18:13,958 --> 01:18:14,708
actually have to get over

699
01:18:14,708 --> 01:18:16,083
the fact that you took a

700
01:18:16,083 --> 01:18:17,666
life, which I don't know how

701
01:18:17,666 --> 01:18:19,625
you would ever live with yourself again.

702
01:18:20,541 --> 01:18:22,500
We're all born animals, sinners.

703
01:18:23,250 --> 01:18:25,666
Yeah, the ego and the id.

704
01:18:26,333 --> 01:18:27,250
Is it the id that takes

705
01:18:27,250 --> 01:18:28,416
over, according to Freud?

706
01:18:29,125 --> 01:18:30,208
Yeah, yeah.

707
01:18:30,250 --> 01:18:31,083
The animal impulses?

708
01:18:32,125 --> 01:18:33,708
I don't know, I barely studied Freud.

709
01:18:34,791 --> 01:18:36,500
I have a degree in psychology.

710
01:18:37,000 --> 01:18:37,166
Yeah.

711
01:18:38,958 --> 01:18:40,041
So is that why you like Dateline?

712
01:18:41,250 --> 01:18:42,041
No, I don't know.

713
01:18:42,041 --> 01:18:42,458
I was just trying to

714
01:18:42,458 --> 01:18:43,333
think where to go with that.

715
01:18:45,125 --> 01:18:46,833
(laughing) I spent 25 years in banking.

716
01:18:47,541 --> 01:18:48,083
I know!

717
01:18:49,291 --> 01:18:49,958
And I can tell you there's

718
01:18:49,958 --> 01:18:52,500
a lot of egos in banking.

719
01:18:53,375 --> 01:18:54,500
That's what I gather from that.

720
01:18:55,625 --> 01:18:56,500
That's the connection.

721
01:18:57,583 --> 01:18:59,708
Their ids and egos are out of control.

722
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:03,166
They're like refs, you know?

723
01:19:03,166 --> 01:19:04,375
There's a lot of like--

724
01:19:04,583 --> 01:19:05,750
Oh my gosh, yes!

725
01:19:06,708 --> 01:19:07,208
Credit mostly.

726
01:19:07,500 --> 01:19:08,750
And anybody that watches this knows.

727
01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:09,791
I mean, the credit

728
01:19:09,791 --> 01:19:11,458
guys, they're like refs.

729
01:19:11,666 --> 01:19:14,208
They got mama issues, can't be wrong.

730
01:19:14,416 --> 01:19:15,333
They gotta be right.

731
01:19:15,333 --> 01:19:16,250
They love the power.

732
01:19:17,375 --> 01:19:18,000
They do.

733
01:19:18,291 --> 01:19:18,708
And I'm like, what are they--

734
01:19:18,875 --> 01:19:19,958
I don't miss it at all.

735
01:19:20,333 --> 01:19:21,750
I don't miss it at all.

736
01:19:22,666 --> 01:19:23,583
They at least, so

737
01:19:23,583 --> 01:19:25,083
bankers are at least doing it

738
01:19:25,083 --> 01:19:26,208
for a nice salary.

739
01:19:26,708 --> 01:19:27,791
Like, your refs aren't

740
01:19:27,791 --> 01:19:31,000
making enough money to be like--

741
01:19:31,083 --> 01:19:32,041
That's why they're even worse.

742
01:19:32,291 --> 01:19:33,083
Yeah, it's like even worse.

743
01:19:33,125 --> 01:19:33,875
Bankers are like, okay,

744
01:19:33,875 --> 01:19:34,625
we're all professionals,

745
01:19:34,916 --> 01:19:36,125
so I gotta keep it summer professional,

746
01:19:36,208 --> 01:19:37,166
but I'm gonna pound you

747
01:19:37,166 --> 01:19:38,666
and make you into a pulp

748
01:19:38,666 --> 01:19:40,000
as much as I possibly can.

749
01:19:40,416 --> 01:19:41,500
Because I'm smarter than you.

750
01:19:41,833 --> 01:19:43,041
Check the smartest guys in the room.

751
01:19:43,041 --> 01:19:43,333
If you haven't read

752
01:19:43,333 --> 01:19:44,083
the book, read the book.

753
01:19:44,083 --> 01:19:44,458
Great book.

754
01:19:44,916 --> 01:19:46,500
But it's exactly what I came from.

755
01:19:47,291 --> 01:19:49,166
Refs, that money's not there, right?

756
01:19:49,166 --> 01:19:50,708
The professionalism isn't there.

757
01:19:51,041 --> 01:19:53,041
So all they wanna do is win.

758
01:19:53,791 --> 01:19:55,000
They just want to

759
01:19:55,000 --> 01:19:56,708
beat the life out of you

760
01:19:57,000 --> 01:19:58,500
by bad call after bad

761
01:19:58,500 --> 01:19:59,375
call after bad call.

762
01:19:59,708 --> 01:20:00,500
That's what I know.

763
01:20:00,500 --> 01:20:01,375
I know our sideline.

764
01:20:01,833 --> 01:20:04,250
Our dads know that too, right?

765
01:20:04,250 --> 01:20:05,708
Like the second we start getting on them,

766
01:20:05,833 --> 01:20:07,708
that's why I never yell refs anymore.

767
01:20:07,708 --> 01:20:08,291
No, no.

768
01:20:08,291 --> 01:20:09,041
And that's just a safety

769
01:20:09,041 --> 01:20:10,750
issue I might a little bit more.

770
01:20:11,000 --> 01:20:12,375
But even then, now I

771
01:20:12,375 --> 01:20:15,041
don't because they're so bad

772
01:20:15,041 --> 01:20:16,458
that they'll throw a game

773
01:20:16,458 --> 01:20:17,458
because they don't like the parents.

774
01:20:17,708 --> 01:20:19,000
Oh, totally.

775
01:20:19,375 --> 01:20:19,541
100%.

776
01:20:19,916 --> 01:20:20,333
I know.

777
01:20:20,583 --> 01:20:21,333
Oh, that's a PK.

778
01:20:22,125 --> 01:20:22,833
That was at midfield.

779
01:20:23,500 --> 01:20:24,375
Right. No, PK.

780
01:20:25,125 --> 01:20:26,166
And I'm sorry, it was

781
01:20:26,166 --> 01:20:28,708
also in the 128th minute.

782
01:20:29,416 --> 01:20:30,500
Of a 90 minute game.

783
01:20:30,500 --> 01:20:31,500
Of a 90 minute game.

784
01:20:31,833 --> 01:20:32,583
Time's up, bud.

785
01:20:33,375 --> 01:20:34,625
No, not till they win.

786
01:20:34,875 --> 01:20:35,500
Not till they win.

787
01:20:36,291 --> 01:20:37,375
Get the other team to win.

788
01:20:38,041 --> 01:20:39,875
They are so, yeah.

789
01:20:39,916 --> 01:20:40,208
Anyways.

790
01:20:40,791 --> 01:20:41,250
I'm peeved.

791
01:20:42,375 --> 01:20:44,041
Oh yeah, I'm peeved.

792
01:20:44,041 --> 01:20:46,250
Yeah, let's go to our I'm peeved.

793
01:20:46,250 --> 01:20:46,791
Do you have an I'm

794
01:20:46,791 --> 01:20:47,750
peeved from this week segment?

795
01:20:49,375 --> 01:20:52,750
I need to think about that a little bit.

796
01:20:53,291 --> 01:20:54,250
Oh, I know, I'm peeved.

797
01:20:55,000 --> 01:20:56,208
We've been very peeved all week.

798
01:20:56,250 --> 01:20:57,000
We've been very peeved all week.

799
01:20:57,583 --> 01:20:59,208
About the rule of law.

800
01:20:59,625 --> 01:21:00,833
Like there's a reason.

801
01:21:00,833 --> 01:21:01,375
And I think it's fair

802
01:21:01,375 --> 01:21:02,291
for everybody on here.

803
01:21:02,291 --> 01:21:03,208
If you're listening to this

804
01:21:03,208 --> 01:21:04,583
and you don't believe in the rule of law.

805
01:21:05,750 --> 01:21:06,541
Then that's an issue.

806
01:21:06,916 --> 01:21:07,375
You know what I mean?

807
01:21:07,583 --> 01:21:10,166
I mean, even police, if they kill

808
01:21:10,166 --> 01:21:11,458
somebody on the job,

809
01:21:12,000 --> 01:21:13,166
they're taken off the job.

810
01:21:13,791 --> 01:21:15,333
Their firearms are turned in,

811
01:21:15,333 --> 01:21:17,958
pending a mandatory investigation

812
01:21:17,958 --> 01:21:19,750
to make sure it was, you know,

813
01:21:20,250 --> 01:21:20,458
Above board.

814
01:21:20,916 --> 01:21:21,791
Legal, above board.

815
01:21:22,125 --> 01:21:25,250
So yeah, my I'm peeved right now is,

816
01:21:25,875 --> 01:21:27,125
I could go, we could talk about,

817
01:21:27,125 --> 01:21:28,000
I could talk about this

818
01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:28,833
for the rest of the show

819
01:21:29,666 --> 01:21:30,666
and into next week.

820
01:21:31,250 --> 01:21:32,708
But we got to get back

821
01:21:32,708 --> 01:21:34,916
under control in this country.

822
01:21:35,291 --> 01:21:37,416
Because what's

823
01:21:37,416 --> 01:21:39,208
happening on the streets of

824
01:21:40,333 --> 01:21:42,750
the United States of America,

825
01:21:43,875 --> 01:21:45,583
is not the country that I grew up in.

826
01:21:45,583 --> 01:21:46,583
Is it the country you grew up in?

827
01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:48,166
You actually grew up in Minneapolis.

828
01:21:48,416 --> 01:21:49,250
I grew up in Minneapolis.

829
01:21:49,291 --> 01:21:51,291
The man shot was actually a couple blocks

830
01:21:51,291 --> 01:21:52,125
from where you lived.

831
01:21:52,166 --> 01:21:53,000
Yep, exactly.

832
01:21:53,041 --> 01:21:53,541
And you lived there.

833
01:21:53,791 --> 01:21:54,041
Exactly.

834
01:21:54,500 --> 01:21:56,333
And I can speak for the area

835
01:21:56,333 --> 01:21:58,166
and it's just, it's

836
01:21:58,166 --> 01:22:00,416
absolutely breaking my heart.

837
01:22:00,416 --> 01:22:01,083
I don't know if I'm

838
01:22:01,083 --> 01:22:02,666
more angry or more sad.

839
01:22:03,583 --> 01:22:05,916
I don't know, but I'm definitely scared.

840
01:22:06,375 --> 01:22:10,166
I'm scared for how and what world

841
01:22:10,166 --> 01:22:11,500
our children are growing up in.

842
01:22:11,583 --> 01:22:12,500
That was the next point of mine.

843
01:22:12,791 --> 01:22:13,333
Yeah, it's like what

844
01:22:13,333 --> 01:22:14,916
we're leaving to them.

845
01:22:14,958 --> 01:22:15,291
I'm, I'm--

846
01:22:15,333 --> 01:22:15,666
It's not normal.

847
01:22:16,000 --> 01:22:16,541
Yeah, it's not.

848
01:22:16,916 --> 01:22:17,541
This is not acceptable

849
01:22:17,541 --> 01:22:19,083
on the streets of America.

850
01:22:20,208 --> 01:22:21,416
And you're absolutely right.

851
01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:22,583
I'm peeved.

852
01:22:22,916 --> 01:22:24,416
It's actually a very

853
01:22:24,416 --> 01:22:26,250
euphemistic way to say it.

854
01:22:26,666 --> 01:22:28,083
Yeah, I mean, we have a constitution.

855
01:22:28,541 --> 01:22:30,000
We have rules and we have law.

856
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:31,250
We have governing law that

857
01:22:31,250 --> 01:22:32,583
is just being pushed aside.

858
01:22:32,625 --> 01:22:34,458
So that's what I'm

859
01:22:34,458 --> 01:22:35,708
peeved about this week.

860
01:22:36,083 --> 01:22:36,416
Yeah.

861
01:22:36,500 --> 01:22:36,750
Mostly.

862
01:22:37,458 --> 01:22:38,000
Yeah, it is.

863
01:22:38,041 --> 01:22:38,583
I've been peeved

864
01:22:38,583 --> 01:22:39,500
about it for a long time,

865
01:22:39,500 --> 01:22:40,458
but this week it's just

866
01:22:40,458 --> 01:22:42,208
again, again and again.

867
01:22:42,750 --> 01:22:46,666
How many times are we gonna just let

868
01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:50,500
this kind of stuff continue to happen

869
01:22:50,916 --> 01:22:54,083
and watch the erosion of democracy

870
01:22:54,333 --> 01:22:57,083
and the erosion of law?

871
01:22:57,125 --> 01:22:57,458
Of law.

872
01:22:58,000 --> 01:22:59,041
They've talked about it.

873
01:22:59,541 --> 01:23:01,166
Law is not self-sustaining.

874
01:23:01,625 --> 01:23:02,000
Yes.

875
01:23:02,458 --> 01:23:03,791
Law is sustaining

876
01:23:03,791 --> 01:23:05,500
because people uphold it.

877
01:23:07,291 --> 01:23:08,208
Governments uphold it.

878
01:23:08,541 --> 01:23:09,541
Legislator uphold it.

879
01:23:10,291 --> 01:23:11,458
Judicial courts uphold it.

880
01:23:11,750 --> 01:23:13,750
If we don't stand for it and uphold it,

881
01:23:13,750 --> 01:23:15,666
it's not self-sustaining upon itself.

882
01:23:16,291 --> 01:23:17,416
We take it for granted

883
01:23:17,416 --> 01:23:18,583
because we've had it.

884
01:23:18,583 --> 01:23:18,791
Yeah.

885
01:23:20,041 --> 01:23:22,000
Because people have stood up for it.

886
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:22,333
That's exactly right.

887
01:23:22,375 --> 01:23:24,708
People have sacrificed for it.

888
01:23:24,708 --> 01:23:24,958
Yeah.

889
01:23:25,625 --> 01:23:27,000
Anyways, I could talk

890
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:27,666
about this for hours

891
01:23:27,666 --> 01:23:30,333
and we've decided on this podcast

892
01:23:30,333 --> 01:23:31,000
that we don't get

893
01:23:31,000 --> 01:23:31,708
into this kind of stuff,

894
01:23:31,791 --> 01:23:32,250
but that's what I'm

895
01:23:32,250 --> 01:23:33,000
people about this week.

896
01:23:33,416 --> 01:23:35,541
It's crossed the threshold.

897
01:23:36,500 --> 01:23:38,291
Of how I can, I can't stay silent.

898
01:23:38,333 --> 01:23:39,833
I can't stand by and stay silent.

899
01:23:40,333 --> 01:23:42,250
I can't stand by and stay silent.

900
01:23:42,500 --> 01:23:44,375
I can't.

901
01:23:44,375 --> 01:23:46,333
Because I don't see

902
01:23:46,333 --> 01:23:47,250
that this is correcting.

903
01:23:47,750 --> 01:23:49,000
I don't see it self-correcting.

904
01:23:49,000 --> 01:23:53,583
I don't see people upholding the law.

905
01:23:54,708 --> 01:23:56,000
And honestly, it breaks

906
01:23:56,000 --> 01:23:57,500
my heart to see a community

907
01:23:59,416 --> 01:24:01,708
completely ravaged by this.

908
01:24:02,083 --> 01:24:02,875
Children can't go to

909
01:24:02,875 --> 01:24:04,875
school because they're families

910
01:24:04,875 --> 01:24:06,083
and they are too afraid.

911
01:24:08,250 --> 01:24:09,500
Business is closing.

912
01:24:09,500 --> 01:24:13,291
I mean, because they don't have people,

913
01:24:13,333 --> 01:24:14,000
because people don't

914
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:14,875
wanna leave their homes.

915
01:24:16,000 --> 01:24:17,500
But one thing I have seen is the beauty

916
01:24:17,500 --> 01:24:18,541
of the people of Minneapolis.

917
01:24:19,083 --> 01:24:20,875
Well, you have family, we have family,

918
01:24:20,875 --> 01:24:22,041
that live in Minneapolis still.

919
01:24:22,458 --> 01:24:24,333
So there's a lot that we can

920
01:24:24,333 --> 01:24:25,458
know what's happening there

921
01:24:25,458 --> 01:24:26,958
that's not being covered also.

922
01:24:27,208 --> 01:24:28,625
Exactly, there's just too much happening

923
01:24:28,916 --> 01:24:31,791
for it to be covered, honestly.

924
01:24:32,791 --> 01:24:36,291
And I will say, in Minnesota, I grew up

925
01:24:36,291 --> 01:24:37,125
where your neighbor,

926
01:24:37,375 --> 01:24:38,875
I mean, truly, like if

927
01:24:38,875 --> 01:24:39,750
we look back at the Bible,

928
01:24:39,750 --> 01:24:40,833
love your neighbor as yourself.

929
01:24:41,666 --> 01:24:42,750
I grew up that way.

930
01:24:43,250 --> 01:24:45,750
I grew up always knowing my neighbors

931
01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:48,333
and doing May baskets and I mean,

932
01:24:49,541 --> 01:24:50,541
together in block

933
01:24:50,541 --> 01:24:52,125
parties and all of that.

934
01:24:52,750 --> 01:24:55,958
Like your neighborhood was a huge deal

935
01:24:56,250 --> 01:24:58,916
and it is still that way in Minnesota.

936
01:24:59,166 --> 01:24:59,416
Yeah.

937
01:25:00,166 --> 01:25:03,416
And I see people standing up

938
01:25:03,416 --> 01:25:05,666
to fight for their neighbor.

939
01:25:06,750 --> 01:25:08,375
I heard a story about a kid,

940
01:25:08,708 --> 01:25:09,958
he's a high school student.

941
01:25:11,875 --> 01:25:14,166
And he is actually,

942
01:25:14,833 --> 01:25:16,541
because some of his friends are,

943
01:25:17,208 --> 01:25:18,583
maybe they're biracial or

944
01:25:18,583 --> 01:25:21,041
they don't look the right way,

945
01:25:21,708 --> 01:25:22,666
he's going and he's like

946
01:25:22,666 --> 01:25:23,875
filling up their cars with gas

947
01:25:23,875 --> 01:25:24,791
because these people are too

948
01:25:24,791 --> 01:25:25,625
afraid to leave their homes

949
01:25:25,958 --> 01:25:27,166
to fill up their car with gas.

950
01:25:27,666 --> 01:25:29,416
This is a teenager who's taken a stand

951
01:25:30,208 --> 01:25:31,000
and done the right thing

952
01:25:31,000 --> 01:25:32,000
and helped someone out.

953
01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:33,041
So it's like, I see and I

954
01:25:33,041 --> 01:25:35,416
hear these stories happening,

955
01:25:35,416 --> 01:25:36,041
which are making,

956
01:25:36,625 --> 01:25:38,583
giving me hope, but yes,

957
01:25:39,541 --> 01:25:42,625
when it comes down to it, I am so peeved

958
01:25:43,500 --> 01:25:44,125
what is happening.

959
01:25:44,500 --> 01:25:47,375
And again, it's a euphemistic term, but.

960
01:25:47,916 --> 01:25:51,125
It is and I'll end it from my perspective

961
01:25:51,125 --> 01:25:51,958
from just saying,

962
01:25:53,833 --> 01:25:57,000
I just, I find it hard to

963
01:25:57,000 --> 01:25:59,541
believe that this is what people

964
01:25:59,625 --> 01:26:00,208
voted for.

965
01:26:00,416 --> 01:26:01,833
If you voted in that direction,

966
01:26:02,833 --> 01:26:04,083
is this what you voted for?

967
01:26:04,916 --> 01:26:05,125
Right.

968
01:26:06,208 --> 01:26:08,333
And think about where this country's

969
01:26:08,333 --> 01:26:09,375
going in the future.

970
01:26:09,750 --> 01:26:10,000
Yep.

971
01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:14,041
So, all right, well that aside.

972
01:26:14,041 --> 01:26:15,541
Ooh, tough transition.

973
01:26:15,541 --> 01:26:17,416
That got deep, that got real deep.

974
01:26:17,750 --> 01:26:20,125
Okay, hey, sometimes when you're peeved,

975
01:26:20,125 --> 01:26:21,041
you gotta let it out.

976
01:26:21,541 --> 01:26:23,291
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

977
01:26:24,000 --> 01:26:24,916
What was the new segment

978
01:26:24,916 --> 01:26:25,541
that we were gonna say?

979
01:26:25,916 --> 01:26:26,583
Do you remember them?

980
01:26:26,833 --> 01:26:28,958
"Benversus Now" and "Who Had It Worse?"

981
01:26:29,125 --> 01:26:29,916
"Who Had It Worse?"

982
01:26:29,916 --> 01:26:30,666
All right, so here's a

983
01:26:30,666 --> 01:26:31,750
new, here's a new segment

984
01:26:31,875 --> 01:26:32,375
we're gonna try to

985
01:26:32,375 --> 01:26:34,125
introduce and try to remember these.

986
01:26:34,125 --> 01:26:35,416
So we have more segments on here.

987
01:26:35,416 --> 01:26:36,708
So it's not just us

988
01:26:36,708 --> 01:26:37,625
rambling all the time,

989
01:26:37,625 --> 01:26:38,791
but so this new one

990
01:26:38,791 --> 01:26:40,541
is "Who Had It Worse?"

991
01:26:40,541 --> 01:26:42,833
So we're gonna, we're gonna, we're

992
01:26:42,833 --> 01:26:43,625
basically gonna talk

993
01:26:43,625 --> 01:26:44,500
about our last week

994
01:26:44,500 --> 01:26:45,541
and see who had it worse,

995
01:26:45,875 --> 01:26:48,791
you or me, or maybe you, right?

996
01:26:49,166 --> 01:26:49,875
You can tell like,

997
01:26:49,875 --> 01:26:51,291
hey, I beat both of you

998
01:26:51,291 --> 01:26:52,250
because of this.

999
01:26:53,166 --> 01:26:54,750
So I would say for

1000
01:26:54,750 --> 01:26:57,500
2025, the year as a whole,

1001
01:26:58,208 --> 01:26:59,750
you won, you had it worse.

1002
01:27:00,833 --> 01:27:01,416
(laughing)

1003
01:27:01,625 --> 01:27:03,833
New knee, you blew your

1004
01:27:03,833 --> 01:27:05,125
knee, you had a knee surgery,

1005
01:27:06,208 --> 01:27:06,833
you had the other

1006
01:27:06,833 --> 01:27:07,833
issue, which I don't know

1007
01:27:07,833 --> 01:27:09,208
if you brought it up on here or not.

1008
01:27:10,166 --> 01:27:10,583
So you had another

1009
01:27:10,583 --> 01:27:11,750
medical issue that you had,

1010
01:27:12,041 --> 01:27:14,125
it was scary and you had that fixed.

1011
01:27:15,541 --> 01:27:16,666
Moved past that, thank God.

1012
01:27:16,666 --> 01:27:18,000
So you won 2025, but

1013
01:27:18,000 --> 01:27:18,833
what about this week?

1014
01:27:19,583 --> 01:27:21,875
This week, I'm...

1015
01:27:25,458 --> 01:27:26,708
Tell me about what you're introducing.

1016
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:28,416
I think that's an important one to say,

1017
01:27:28,416 --> 01:27:29,125
what you're introducing.

1018
01:27:29,958 --> 01:27:31,541
So I had...

1019
01:27:32,958 --> 01:27:33,458
The honor.

1020
01:27:33,833 --> 01:27:35,541
I had the honor, I was,

1021
01:27:35,750 --> 01:27:36,958
and we won't say that,

1022
01:27:37,708 --> 01:27:40,000
I was chosen to lead a

1023
01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:42,291
return to office program

1024
01:27:43,291 --> 01:27:44,125
for my company.

1025
01:27:44,791 --> 01:27:46,583
So the company has been, background here.

1026
01:27:46,583 --> 01:27:47,375
For a portion of the company.

1027
01:27:48,291 --> 01:27:48,583
Yeah, but the

1028
01:27:48,583 --> 01:27:50,041
background here is the company.

1029
01:27:50,625 --> 01:27:51,166
The company.

1030
01:27:51,500 --> 01:27:52,416
On a whole is...

1031
01:27:53,041 --> 01:27:54,625
Largely is remote.

1032
01:27:55,583 --> 01:27:56,791
And it's a large

1033
01:27:56,791 --> 01:27:58,000
company, so different teams.

1034
01:27:58,166 --> 01:27:59,125
That's following COVID.

1035
01:27:59,500 --> 01:28:01,916
Right, and yeah, COVID, pre-COVID,

1036
01:28:01,916 --> 01:28:02,500
everybody was in the

1037
01:28:02,500 --> 01:28:03,666
office 100% of the time

1038
01:28:03,666 --> 01:28:04,583
and then post-COVID,

1039
01:28:05,583 --> 01:28:07,125
we were largely remote.

1040
01:28:07,125 --> 01:28:08,166
Now some areas have

1041
01:28:08,166 --> 01:28:10,500
been back on a limited,

1042
01:28:10,500 --> 01:28:12,916
more hybrid basis as the buzzword.

1043
01:28:13,875 --> 01:28:15,625
And over the last several months,

1044
01:28:15,791 --> 01:28:17,416
I've been working on something that,

1045
01:28:18,250 --> 01:28:21,958
how to roll out, returning to the office

1046
01:28:23,083 --> 01:28:23,833
a couple days a week.

1047
01:28:25,125 --> 01:28:25,750
I know you're trying to

1048
01:28:25,750 --> 01:28:27,208
be so careful just in case,

1049
01:28:27,208 --> 01:28:28,458
because you've been the face of this

1050
01:28:29,041 --> 01:28:30,666
for your division or the part of the

1051
01:28:30,666 --> 01:28:31,500
company that you're at.

1052
01:28:31,500 --> 01:28:32,500
You've been the face of it.

1053
01:28:32,500 --> 01:28:33,625
I've had to be the face of it.

1054
01:28:34,000 --> 01:28:34,958
And I've heard you

1055
01:28:34,958 --> 01:28:36,208
talking about it to some people,

1056
01:28:36,583 --> 01:28:38,250
and I think you've said that you've,

1057
01:28:39,000 --> 01:28:39,625
you're incredibly

1058
01:28:39,625 --> 01:28:42,375
democratic about it, right?

1059
01:28:42,750 --> 01:28:43,708
I mean, not democratic,

1060
01:28:43,708 --> 01:28:44,500
that's not the right word.

1061
01:28:44,500 --> 01:28:44,791
Diplomatic.

1062
01:28:45,791 --> 01:28:45,833
Maybe.

1063
01:28:47,500 --> 01:28:48,541
Where I heard you

1064
01:28:48,541 --> 01:28:49,791
today say to someone like,

1065
01:28:50,083 --> 01:28:53,000
"Look, they brought me in."

1066
01:28:53,416 --> 01:28:54,333
And they basically were saying,

1067
01:28:54,708 --> 01:28:55,916
you can cut this if you want to,

1068
01:28:55,916 --> 01:28:57,000
but they were basically saying like,

1069
01:28:57,000 --> 01:28:58,166
"Look, we want you to be

1070
01:28:58,166 --> 01:28:59,958
the face of this for reasons,

1071
01:29:00,333 --> 01:29:02,208
I think, that I totally get."

1072
01:29:02,625 --> 01:29:03,291
You're incredibly,

1073
01:29:03,958 --> 01:29:05,500
because of your likability,

1074
01:29:05,500 --> 01:29:07,000
your agreeableness, your ability to

1075
01:29:07,000 --> 01:29:08,333
deliver tough information

1076
01:29:08,333 --> 01:29:12,916
in a very easy, relatable way.

1077
01:29:12,916 --> 01:29:13,875
I mean, there's a million reasons.

1078
01:29:13,875 --> 01:29:14,958
I can't find the right words for it,

1079
01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:15,916
but they picked the

1080
01:29:15,916 --> 01:29:17,041
right person to do it.

1081
01:29:17,625 --> 01:29:18,625
And when they picked you, it

1082
01:29:18,625 --> 01:29:20,000
was also kind of a thing of,

1083
01:29:20,333 --> 01:29:22,500
"Hey, this is not about your input

1084
01:29:22,500 --> 01:29:24,041
on whether this is gonna happen or not,

1085
01:29:24,041 --> 01:29:25,458
this is how we're gonna

1086
01:29:25,458 --> 01:29:27,250
talk about how it's happening,

1087
01:29:27,250 --> 01:29:28,166
how it's rolling out."

1088
01:29:28,458 --> 01:29:29,125
Right. Right.

1089
01:29:29,125 --> 01:29:30,750
And so you've had to get on board with,

1090
01:29:30,750 --> 01:29:31,666
it's just not easy,

1091
01:29:32,083 --> 01:29:33,208
because I think everybody

1092
01:29:33,208 --> 01:29:34,041
would love to stay home.

1093
01:29:34,041 --> 01:29:34,916
We all get that.

1094
01:29:34,916 --> 01:29:35,500
Whether we're going back

1095
01:29:35,500 --> 01:29:37,083
to work or not, that's fine.

1096
01:29:37,083 --> 01:29:37,666
We've been there.

1097
01:29:37,666 --> 01:29:38,333
We all did it five

1098
01:29:38,333 --> 01:29:40,041
days a week, 12 years ago.

1099
01:29:40,041 --> 01:29:40,708
We did. Right?

1100
01:29:41,166 --> 01:29:42,291
So this is one of those things

1101
01:29:42,458 --> 01:29:43,458
where now you're having

1102
01:29:43,458 --> 01:29:44,541
to answer a little bit to,

1103
01:29:45,208 --> 01:29:47,833
"Oh, hey, Megan, so this is your gig.

1104
01:29:47,833 --> 01:29:49,750
You're making everybody go back to work."

1105
01:29:49,750 --> 01:29:50,541
And you're like, "No,

1106
01:29:50,541 --> 01:29:51,583
I'm not making people."

1107
01:29:52,041 --> 01:29:52,875
Right. Right.

1108
01:29:52,958 --> 01:29:56,208
And so, delivering that tough message.

1109
01:29:56,208 --> 01:29:57,583
I'm still supporting leadership.

1110
01:29:57,583 --> 01:29:58,791
You have to support leadership.

1111
01:29:59,000 --> 01:30:00,500
You have to, I mean, I

1112
01:30:00,500 --> 01:30:02,416
don't wanna cry over a decision

1113
01:30:02,416 --> 01:30:05,500
that I can't influence that,

1114
01:30:05,500 --> 01:30:07,166
but what I can influence is how it

1115
01:30:07,166 --> 01:30:09,041
happens and all of that.

1116
01:30:09,041 --> 01:30:12,166
And so, but I'm the face of it.

1117
01:30:12,291 --> 01:30:13,625
And I know that people will

1118
01:30:13,625 --> 01:30:15,458
have this visceral reaction.

1119
01:30:16,708 --> 01:30:21,125
And yet, I'm the one having largely

1120
01:30:21,541 --> 01:30:23,916
to maybe not deliver the initial message.

1121
01:30:23,916 --> 01:30:25,541
I did not deliver the initial message.

1122
01:30:25,541 --> 01:30:26,416
That did come from

1123
01:30:26,416 --> 01:30:28,875
people way higher than me,

1124
01:30:28,875 --> 01:30:30,208
but I am the one who had

1125
01:30:30,208 --> 01:30:32,500
to deliver a lot of the whys

1126
01:30:32,708 --> 01:30:36,208
and the substantiation of the decision.

1127
01:30:37,500 --> 01:30:38,833
And you're officially like,

1128
01:30:39,041 --> 01:30:39,791
here's why this is such

1129
01:30:39,791 --> 01:30:40,875
a great thing, everybody.

1130
01:30:42,666 --> 01:30:43,708
Here's why, you're the

1131
01:30:43,708 --> 01:30:44,708
cheerleader, unfortunately.

1132
01:30:45,791 --> 01:30:45,916
(sighs)

1133
01:30:46,041 --> 01:30:46,291
Yeah.

1134
01:30:46,791 --> 01:30:47,083
So, I--

1135
01:30:47,083 --> 01:30:48,500
That dilutes you so much.

1136
01:30:48,500 --> 01:30:48,833
You weren't the

1137
01:30:48,833 --> 01:30:50,750
cheerleader, but essentially,

1138
01:30:51,541 --> 01:30:53,500
that's a tough place to be put in.

1139
01:30:53,500 --> 01:30:55,625
I was the employee

1140
01:30:55,625 --> 01:30:58,500
relations person, and like--

1141
01:30:59,041 --> 01:30:59,708
And it's still going.

1142
01:30:59,708 --> 01:31:00,291
I heard you talking about

1143
01:31:00,291 --> 01:31:01,791
people with it today, even.

1144
01:31:01,791 --> 01:31:02,541
Yeah, yeah.

1145
01:31:02,791 --> 01:31:03,000
So--

1146
01:31:03,000 --> 01:31:04,000
Almost as though they're asking you,

1147
01:31:04,000 --> 01:31:04,958
like, "Was this your gig?"

1148
01:31:05,125 --> 01:31:06,000
Yeah, well, and part of

1149
01:31:06,000 --> 01:31:07,000
it is I want to under--

1150
01:31:07,458 --> 01:31:08,125
Is this your bag?

1151
01:31:08,416 --> 01:31:10,291
Yeah, and here's the thing.

1152
01:31:10,500 --> 01:31:12,375
I want to understand

1153
01:31:12,375 --> 01:31:15,041
people's concerns, right?

1154
01:31:15,041 --> 01:31:15,875
And maybe this is why

1155
01:31:15,875 --> 01:31:16,666
they partly picked me,

1156
01:31:16,666 --> 01:31:19,333
is because I truly do care about what

1157
01:31:19,333 --> 01:31:20,250
people are concerned

1158
01:31:20,333 --> 01:31:21,500
about and how do we make

1159
01:31:21,500 --> 01:31:22,791
it better and if we can

1160
01:31:22,875 --> 01:31:24,250
and all of that.

1161
01:31:24,500 --> 01:31:25,541
And I'm like, I have

1162
01:31:25,541 --> 01:31:27,291
some of the same concerns.

1163
01:31:27,750 --> 01:31:29,708
And it's like, we're gonna figure it out.

1164
01:31:30,750 --> 01:31:32,583
But I might say that I had the worst week

1165
01:31:32,583 --> 01:31:35,416
because, A, I had to roll out and get on,

1166
01:31:36,041 --> 01:31:38,458
present to a couple hundred people.

1167
01:31:39,875 --> 01:31:42,791
Explaining how this is gonna happen,

1168
01:31:44,000 --> 01:31:44,916
why it's gonna happen,

1169
01:31:45,125 --> 01:31:46,416
answer some tough questions.

1170
01:31:46,916 --> 01:31:50,000
So I did have to get in

1171
01:31:50,000 --> 01:31:51,083
front of a couple hundred people

1172
01:31:51,083 --> 01:31:54,791
and explain and give

1173
01:31:54,791 --> 01:31:57,500
answers to very pointed questions.

1174
01:31:58,208 --> 01:32:00,916
And I speak quite a bit in

1175
01:32:00,916 --> 01:32:01,750
front of large audiences.

1176
01:32:01,958 --> 01:32:02,916
I will tell you, this is one

1177
01:32:02,916 --> 01:32:04,625
that I was pretty nervous for.

1178
01:32:05,000 --> 01:32:05,291
Yeah.

1179
01:32:06,666 --> 01:32:08,583
Yeah, and this would be tough too,

1180
01:32:08,583 --> 01:32:10,458
because it's like, you

1181
01:32:10,458 --> 01:32:11,708
were for a very large,

1182
01:32:12,833 --> 01:32:15,416
big company, fortune, X company.

1183
01:32:16,458 --> 01:32:18,500
And not the whole company

1184
01:32:18,500 --> 01:32:19,708
is going back though either.

1185
01:32:19,708 --> 01:32:20,583
So it's like, oh, hey,

1186
01:32:21,000 --> 01:32:22,208
this is why we're special.

1187
01:32:22,500 --> 01:32:24,708
We got the golden ticket also.

1188
01:32:25,083 --> 01:32:25,291
Yep.

1189
01:32:25,708 --> 01:32:27,000
Yeah, because it's not easy.

1190
01:32:27,458 --> 01:32:27,833
It's not.

1191
01:32:28,541 --> 01:32:33,125
And so, that was not fun.

1192
01:32:33,875 --> 01:32:36,791
You know, knowing the reaction.

1193
01:32:36,791 --> 01:32:40,166
I mean, it is what it had to be.

1194
01:32:40,458 --> 01:32:43,000
And, but I will say I was nervous.

1195
01:32:44,708 --> 01:32:46,291
I don't usually get that nervous

1196
01:32:46,291 --> 01:32:47,375
in front of large audiences

1197
01:32:47,375 --> 01:32:48,833
anymore, but this one did.

1198
01:32:49,458 --> 01:32:50,791
Well, A, because you know,

1199
01:32:51,125 --> 01:32:52,208
usually know your

1200
01:32:52,208 --> 01:32:54,291
material back and forth.

1201
01:32:54,708 --> 01:32:56,041
And you believe in your

1202
01:32:56,041 --> 01:32:57,291
material back and forth.

1203
01:32:57,291 --> 01:32:58,666
It's not that you don't believe in this,

1204
01:32:58,875 --> 01:33:00,875
but it's, if everybody

1205
01:33:00,875 --> 01:33:02,041
have given the option,

1206
01:33:02,083 --> 01:33:03,250
would be like, oh, I'll stay at home.

1207
01:33:03,250 --> 01:33:04,083
I don't, you know, it's

1208
01:33:04,083 --> 01:33:06,125
two hours of more work I get

1209
01:33:06,208 --> 01:33:07,000
because I'm not on the

1210
01:33:07,000 --> 01:33:08,291
road and yada, yada, yada.

1211
01:33:08,333 --> 01:33:08,833
Absolutely.

1212
01:33:09,583 --> 01:33:09,833
Exactly.

1213
01:33:10,166 --> 01:33:12,000
And there's the

1214
01:33:12,000 --> 01:33:13,250
trade-offs and all of that.

1215
01:33:13,541 --> 01:33:16,000
And part of it was, I

1216
01:33:16,000 --> 01:33:16,875
didn't really have much time

1217
01:33:16,875 --> 01:33:17,375
to prepare.

1218
01:33:17,625 --> 01:33:20,333
So 24, 48 hours before

1219
01:33:20,333 --> 01:33:21,958
we had this large meeting,

1220
01:33:21,958 --> 01:33:23,291
I mean, people were asking questions.

1221
01:33:23,291 --> 01:33:24,458
And so I wanted to

1222
01:33:24,458 --> 01:33:26,041
capture the latest snapshot

1223
01:33:26,500 --> 01:33:28,041
of questions before I

1224
01:33:28,041 --> 01:33:29,083
even hopped on this.

1225
01:33:29,083 --> 01:33:31,500
And so it's like, there are things added

1226
01:33:31,666 --> 01:33:32,333
five minutes before

1227
01:33:32,333 --> 01:33:33,375
the call that I'm like,

1228
01:33:34,041 --> 01:33:34,666
I need to mentally

1229
01:33:34,666 --> 01:33:36,541
prepare to answer that question.

1230
01:33:36,833 --> 01:33:38,041
You know, it was just asked.

1231
01:33:38,500 --> 01:33:38,708
Yeah.

1232
01:33:40,041 --> 01:33:40,333
Yeah.

1233
01:33:40,333 --> 01:33:42,041
And it was a busy, it

1234
01:33:42,041 --> 01:33:43,208
was a busy week last week.

1235
01:33:43,208 --> 01:33:46,208
I mean, I'd say this past

1236
01:33:46,208 --> 01:33:47,583
week, maybe it was harder for me.

1237
01:33:48,041 --> 01:33:49,000
I think you won the

1238
01:33:49,000 --> 01:33:50,333
previous week when you were out

1239
01:33:50,500 --> 01:33:51,416
and working until 1

1240
01:33:51,416 --> 01:33:52,791
a.m. multiple nights and.

1241
01:33:53,916 --> 01:33:55,250
Yeah, but we didn't start it that week.

1242
01:33:55,541 --> 01:33:57,500
So this week, my hardest thing,

1243
01:33:58,166 --> 01:34:01,333
my hardest thing this week

1244
01:34:01,333 --> 01:34:04,166
was that you signed us up

1245
01:34:04,250 --> 01:34:08,916
for this, the girls basketball team.

1246
01:34:10,291 --> 01:34:12,583
The parents have like a rotational,

1247
01:34:13,416 --> 01:34:14,708
I'll buy all the dinners

1248
01:34:14,708 --> 01:34:16,083
or lunches for the girls.

1249
01:34:16,291 --> 01:34:17,250
It's a dinner carpool

1250
01:34:17,250 --> 01:34:19,208
before basketball games.

1251
01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:20,875
And of course the week

1252
01:34:20,875 --> 01:34:22,500
that you have to be in office

1253
01:34:22,666 --> 01:34:24,666
delivering this information was our week,

1254
01:34:25,125 --> 01:34:26,458
was your week that you

1255
01:34:26,458 --> 01:34:28,500
signed up for this carpool

1256
01:34:28,666 --> 01:34:30,291
for you and the other moms

1257
01:34:30,291 --> 01:34:33,375
that I ended up having to do.

1258
01:34:33,958 --> 01:34:34,916
Which wasn't bad, I mean,

1259
01:34:34,916 --> 01:34:35,916
this had to go Chick-fil-A.

1260
01:34:37,791 --> 01:34:39,666
But I actually had to, I

1261
01:34:39,666 --> 01:34:40,416
mean, I've been finishing up

1262
01:34:40,416 --> 01:34:42,416
a property, you know,

1263
01:34:42,708 --> 01:34:43,750
dot and T's crossing eyes.

1264
01:34:45,666 --> 01:34:46,583
Yeah, no.

1265
01:34:46,583 --> 01:34:47,250
That's all right.

1266
01:34:47,250 --> 01:34:47,916
I was just seeing if you

1267
01:34:47,916 --> 01:34:48,791
were gonna catch me on it.

1268
01:34:49,333 --> 01:34:50,375
Dot and eyes crossing T's.

1269
01:34:51,083 --> 01:34:52,458
Yeah, you know, kissing babies.

1270
01:34:53,208 --> 01:34:55,916
And I had to leave to go get Chick-fil-A

1271
01:34:55,916 --> 01:34:56,583
for all the girlies.

1272
01:34:56,958 --> 01:34:57,458
Yeah, you did.

1273
01:34:58,000 --> 01:34:58,208
Yep.

1274
01:34:59,583 --> 01:35:00,333
So that was tough.

1275
01:35:00,791 --> 01:35:01,500
It's really hard.

1276
01:35:01,791 --> 01:35:03,541
So I would say, I don't know what's up,

1277
01:35:03,541 --> 01:35:05,000
you gotta tell us who won that one.

1278
01:35:05,000 --> 01:35:06,625
I mean, it's pretty tough for me.

1279
01:35:09,500 --> 01:35:10,791
There's some weeks I definitely win,

1280
01:35:11,166 --> 01:35:12,416
and some weeks you definitely win.

1281
01:35:12,416 --> 01:35:13,333
I think I won this week.

1282
01:35:13,333 --> 01:35:14,041
I think you won this week.

1283
01:35:14,666 --> 01:35:15,875
I definitely think you won this week.

1284
01:35:15,875 --> 01:35:17,041
Well done, well done.

1285
01:35:17,041 --> 01:35:17,708
Way to hang in there.

1286
01:35:17,958 --> 01:35:19,250
You did it, you did it.

1287
01:35:19,458 --> 01:35:19,958
I did it.

1288
01:35:20,708 --> 01:35:22,750
And another reason why on

1289
01:35:22,750 --> 01:35:24,500
Friday evening I was like,

1290
01:35:25,041 --> 01:35:26,625
yeah, dry January is not sticking.

1291
01:35:28,083 --> 01:35:29,000
I might want a glass of

1292
01:35:29,000 --> 01:35:30,166
wine after the day I've had

1293
01:35:30,166 --> 01:35:31,125
or the week I've had.

1294
01:35:31,208 --> 01:35:33,458
Yeah, yep, I see that, I see that.

1295
01:35:33,708 --> 01:35:34,125
Well, that's what I

1296
01:35:34,125 --> 01:35:35,125
was gonna say too earlier

1297
01:35:35,125 --> 01:35:36,541
when I was like, we'll come back to this.

1298
01:35:36,791 --> 01:35:39,958
But I do feel like sometimes in this,

1299
01:35:39,958 --> 01:35:41,333
I don't wanna dive deeply into this

1300
01:35:41,500 --> 01:35:42,125
because you get real

1301
01:35:42,125 --> 01:35:43,375
deep into this, whatnot.

1302
01:35:43,375 --> 01:35:45,458
But it's like, I do feel like earlier,

1303
01:35:45,750 --> 01:35:46,666
and sometimes even now

1304
01:35:46,666 --> 01:35:47,458
it's like, you know what?

1305
01:35:49,500 --> 01:35:51,000
A drink just takes the edge off.

1306
01:35:51,916 --> 01:35:52,083
Yeah.

1307
01:35:52,500 --> 01:35:53,041
You know what I mean?

1308
01:35:53,041 --> 01:35:53,500
And it's like, I

1309
01:35:53,500 --> 01:35:54,500
don't wanna start drinking

1310
01:35:54,500 --> 01:35:55,625
just taking edge off.

1311
01:35:55,625 --> 01:35:56,500
You don't want to do that.

1312
01:35:56,500 --> 01:35:57,375
Right, I wanna take a

1313
01:35:57,375 --> 01:35:58,500
drink, like you said earlier,

1314
01:35:58,500 --> 01:35:59,750
to enjoy it, because I

1315
01:35:59,750 --> 01:36:00,625
haven't had it in a week.

1316
01:36:00,916 --> 01:36:01,083
Right.

1317
01:36:01,333 --> 01:36:02,833
I like the taste, I like the, you know,

1318
01:36:02,833 --> 01:36:03,708
whatever the taste of the

1319
01:36:03,708 --> 01:36:04,333
different kind of bourbon

1320
01:36:04,333 --> 01:36:05,166
or the different kind of

1321
01:36:05,166 --> 01:36:06,333
wine you're drinking is.

1322
01:36:06,333 --> 01:36:06,666
Yeah, yeah.

1323
01:36:06,791 --> 01:36:08,416
Not to take the edge off.

1324
01:36:08,458 --> 01:36:08,875
Yeah.

1325
01:36:09,458 --> 01:36:10,458
Right, and I think that's

1326
01:36:10,458 --> 01:36:11,333
where I gotta get back into

1327
01:36:11,333 --> 01:36:12,500
because this year, here's the other thing

1328
01:36:12,500 --> 01:36:13,291
I haven't gotten into.

1329
01:36:13,875 --> 01:36:15,291
I've not been back to

1330
01:36:15,291 --> 01:36:17,958
working out since when?

1331
01:36:19,625 --> 01:36:22,500
I mean, you did run last week or so, but.

1332
01:36:22,875 --> 01:36:24,250
I did, but I, there's something happened.

1333
01:36:24,500 --> 01:36:25,416
I either got sick or

1334
01:36:25,416 --> 01:36:27,000
something happened or I got hurt.

1335
01:36:27,000 --> 01:36:27,791
I don't remember what it was,

1336
01:36:27,791 --> 01:36:29,791
but I kinda didn't have time to work out,

1337
01:36:29,791 --> 01:36:30,333
and I haven't got back

1338
01:36:30,333 --> 01:36:31,208
to it for like two months.

1339
01:36:31,541 --> 01:36:32,708
As you've been working at the property,

1340
01:36:32,958 --> 01:36:33,875
like it's just been

1341
01:36:33,875 --> 01:36:36,208
back to the wall every day.

1342
01:36:36,583 --> 01:36:36,791
Yeah.

1343
01:36:37,208 --> 01:36:37,583
Every day.

1344
01:36:37,916 --> 01:36:38,083
Yeah.

1345
01:36:38,750 --> 01:36:40,875
So that's what usually takes

1346
01:36:40,875 --> 01:36:42,333
my edge off, is doing that.

1347
01:36:42,333 --> 01:36:43,166
So I think what I'm gonna do,

1348
01:36:43,208 --> 01:36:47,541
I think I'm gonna join a local gym here

1349
01:36:48,083 --> 01:36:48,458
because I know

1350
01:36:48,458 --> 01:36:49,583
there's some guys that play,

1351
01:36:49,583 --> 01:36:50,833
they play pickup games,

1352
01:36:51,500 --> 01:36:53,708
and maybe start playing basketball again.

1353
01:36:53,708 --> 01:36:55,000
I mean, I haven't played in 20 years.

1354
01:36:56,000 --> 01:36:56,750
It'll come back.

1355
01:36:56,750 --> 01:36:57,958
It's gotta be like riding a bike.

1356
01:36:58,375 --> 01:36:59,250
You know, here's the

1357
01:36:59,250 --> 01:37:00,541
thing I'm most nervous about

1358
01:37:01,166 --> 01:37:04,333
is my eyes have gotten worse.

1359
01:37:05,958 --> 01:37:07,125
These are those things getting old.

1360
01:37:07,125 --> 01:37:07,958
So there's two things.

1361
01:37:07,958 --> 01:37:08,708
One, I don't wanna get hurt

1362
01:37:08,708 --> 01:37:09,583
because I already know I've got a

1363
01:37:09,583 --> 01:37:10,625
slightly torn meniscus.

1364
01:37:10,625 --> 01:37:10,833
Yeah.

1365
01:37:11,750 --> 01:37:12,750
And I just don't want that

1366
01:37:12,750 --> 01:37:13,958
being a taking time bomb.

1367
01:37:13,958 --> 01:37:14,333
I don't wanna go

1368
01:37:14,333 --> 01:37:15,375
through what you went through,

1369
01:37:15,375 --> 01:37:16,750
but I also don't wanna not live life

1370
01:37:16,750 --> 01:37:17,625
because I'm worried about my neck.

1371
01:37:17,625 --> 01:37:18,541
I think that's the--

1372
01:37:19,083 --> 01:37:20,208
So that went aside.

1373
01:37:20,208 --> 01:37:21,000
I don't wanna get hurt.

1374
01:37:21,000 --> 01:37:22,500
Also, I don't wanna twist an ankle again.

1375
01:37:22,875 --> 01:37:24,166
Twisting ankles is the worst,

1376
01:37:24,458 --> 01:37:26,000
but maybe I'm not gonna be active enough.

1377
01:37:26,000 --> 01:37:26,375
Who knows?

1378
01:37:26,375 --> 01:37:27,208
I'm getting older.

1379
01:37:28,250 --> 01:37:30,666
But I'm getting older to the point where

1380
01:37:30,666 --> 01:37:31,708
my eyes aren't great.

1381
01:37:31,708 --> 01:37:32,875
I wear glasses most

1382
01:37:32,875 --> 01:37:34,041
of the time right now.

1383
01:37:34,041 --> 01:37:34,708
When I'm driving at

1384
01:37:34,708 --> 01:37:36,166
night, when I'm watching TV.

1385
01:37:36,958 --> 01:37:38,416
So most people, when they see me,

1386
01:37:38,416 --> 01:37:39,500
they don't see me like this.

1387
01:37:40,041 --> 01:37:41,416
They see me with glasses on.

1388
01:37:41,791 --> 01:37:42,916
And a hat for that matter.

1389
01:37:44,166 --> 01:37:45,625
(laughing) You do usually have a hat.

1390
01:37:45,625 --> 01:37:47,750
So I'm incognito everywhere,

1391
01:37:48,000 --> 01:37:48,791
mostly because of just

1392
01:37:48,791 --> 01:37:49,958
the throngs of people

1393
01:37:49,958 --> 01:37:51,125
who know me from morning cereal.

1394
01:37:52,000 --> 01:37:52,708
I've constantly

1395
01:37:52,708 --> 01:37:53,875
recognized from morning cereal.

1396
01:37:53,875 --> 01:37:54,541
I know, you can't go

1397
01:37:54,541 --> 01:37:55,541
out without somebody.

1398
01:37:55,875 --> 01:37:56,791
I almost can't go out anymore.

1399
01:37:56,791 --> 01:37:57,583
Stopping you, yeah.

1400
01:37:58,041 --> 01:37:59,416
But anyways,

1401
01:38:01,583 --> 01:38:04,875
the eyesight thing is an issue

1402
01:38:04,958 --> 01:38:07,125
because I did notice when

1403
01:38:07,125 --> 01:38:08,416
we were members of that gym

1404
01:38:09,208 --> 01:38:10,375
two years ago, maybe.

1405
01:38:10,666 --> 01:38:12,833
I went twice and shot around in the gym.

1406
01:38:13,500 --> 01:38:16,041
Just the feel and the smell of the gym.

1407
01:38:16,041 --> 01:38:16,458
I love it.

1408
01:38:16,458 --> 01:38:17,083
I love basketball.

1409
01:38:17,458 --> 01:38:18,375
Being in there with our

1410
01:38:18,375 --> 01:38:19,708
daughter has been incredible.

1411
01:38:20,000 --> 01:38:21,666
Just watching her A is incredible.

1412
01:38:22,041 --> 01:38:23,958
B, every time I go into a new gym,

1413
01:38:23,958 --> 01:38:25,666
I'm like, God, I love

1414
01:38:25,666 --> 01:38:26,833
the smell of the gym.

1415
01:38:27,583 --> 01:38:28,666
I can attest to this.

1416
01:38:28,666 --> 01:38:30,041
He does say this every time.

1417
01:38:30,041 --> 01:38:30,875
And I was like, it

1418
01:38:30,875 --> 01:38:32,250
smells like sweat and feet.

1419
01:38:32,375 --> 01:38:33,541
I lived in a gym.

1420
01:38:33,541 --> 01:38:35,916
I just lived in gyms when I was younger.

1421
01:38:35,916 --> 01:38:38,000
And it's nostalgic and very,

1422
01:38:38,416 --> 01:38:40,041
that was the best part of my child.

1423
01:38:40,125 --> 01:38:41,958
It was in gyms, we spent in gyms,

1424
01:38:41,958 --> 01:38:42,750
especially my adolescents.

1425
01:38:44,333 --> 01:38:46,541
So that's like such a

1426
01:38:46,541 --> 01:38:49,500
special smell to me.

1427
01:38:49,958 --> 01:38:50,750
Anyways, but the sound

1428
01:38:50,750 --> 01:38:52,916
of the ball and the nets.

1429
01:38:53,125 --> 01:38:54,250
And I just, I know it all.

1430
01:38:54,250 --> 01:38:56,125
I know it all by the back of my hand.

1431
01:38:56,750 --> 01:38:58,791
But my point is I

1432
01:38:58,791 --> 01:39:01,333
can't see the rim clearly.

1433
01:39:02,166 --> 01:39:04,500
So when I'm shooting, like from threes,

1434
01:39:05,375 --> 01:39:06,500
I can't see the rim clearly.

1435
01:39:07,041 --> 01:39:07,833
I see two rims.

1436
01:39:09,000 --> 01:39:11,250
Oh, you might have to get contacts.

1437
01:39:11,625 --> 01:39:12,916
Well, the last time I was at,

1438
01:39:13,125 --> 01:39:14,416
the last time I was there,

1439
01:39:14,791 --> 01:39:17,000
he suggested contacts for me

1440
01:39:17,000 --> 01:39:18,625
based on my prescription now.

1441
01:39:19,291 --> 01:39:20,083
And I was like, I am

1442
01:39:20,083 --> 01:39:21,500
not ready for contacts.

1443
01:39:23,000 --> 01:39:24,708
I am not ready to touch my eyes.

1444
01:39:24,708 --> 01:39:24,875
Your judgment for

1445
01:39:24,875 --> 01:39:26,125
people who have worn contacts

1446
01:39:26,291 --> 01:39:28,000
since they were in second grade.

1447
01:39:29,333 --> 01:39:30,875
Yeah, well, I'm not legally

1448
01:39:30,875 --> 01:39:32,041
blind, unlike other people.

1449
01:39:32,333 --> 01:39:33,500
I know legally blind.

1450
01:39:33,500 --> 01:39:35,458
You've got to stop telling people this.

1451
01:39:36,458 --> 01:39:37,916
You now have our children

1452
01:39:37,916 --> 01:39:40,583
parroting what you're saying.

1453
01:39:41,000 --> 01:39:42,083
Mom's legally blind.

1454
01:39:42,708 --> 01:39:43,250
I'm not.

1455
01:39:43,666 --> 01:39:44,708
I have terrible eyesight,

1456
01:39:44,708 --> 01:39:45,791
but I am not legally blind.

1457
01:39:45,791 --> 01:39:47,791
Our children don't repeat anything I say.

1458
01:39:49,041 --> 01:39:50,416
Especially that would be negatively

1459
01:39:52,666 --> 01:39:53,916
connotated towards you.

1460
01:39:55,875 --> 01:39:56,541
I am the butt of

1461
01:39:56,541 --> 01:39:57,583
every joke in this family.

1462
01:39:59,458 --> 01:40:01,000
Well, that's for another episode.

1463
01:40:01,041 --> 01:40:02,625
Maybe that's my next time peeved.

1464
01:40:02,750 --> 01:40:03,875
That's another episode.

1465
01:40:04,583 --> 01:40:05,750
That's an entire episode.

1466
01:40:06,250 --> 01:40:07,250
Anyways, that's my whole thing.

1467
01:40:07,500 --> 01:40:08,500
I want to go back.

1468
01:40:08,958 --> 01:40:10,500
I don't want to get hurt, but I might

1469
01:40:10,500 --> 01:40:11,166
have to get contacts

1470
01:40:11,166 --> 01:40:12,458
if I really want to play.

1471
01:40:12,458 --> 01:40:14,208
Because I mean, you know, I mean,

1472
01:40:15,250 --> 01:40:18,041
my game used to be quickness,

1473
01:40:18,041 --> 01:40:20,166
like driving left or right to the hole.

1474
01:40:20,458 --> 01:40:22,333
If not, I could shoot from anywhere.

1475
01:40:23,791 --> 01:40:27,083
But now I'm probably not as fast.

1476
01:40:27,541 --> 01:40:28,375
I don't, I got to

1477
01:40:28,375 --> 01:40:29,416
remember how to dribble again.

1478
01:40:30,375 --> 01:40:32,875
So that half of my game is probably gone.

1479
01:40:33,166 --> 01:40:33,958
(laughs)

1480
01:40:34,291 --> 01:40:36,083
So that leaves me with shooting.

1481
01:40:36,958 --> 01:40:37,875
And if I can't see the

1482
01:40:37,875 --> 01:40:40,000
rim, that's a problem.

1483
01:40:40,708 --> 01:40:42,583
I mean, there's some muscle memory there,

1484
01:40:43,625 --> 01:40:44,625
which gets me through.

1485
01:40:44,625 --> 01:40:47,166
I mean, I make a high

1486
01:40:47,166 --> 01:40:48,583
percentage of the shots I take.

1487
01:40:49,041 --> 01:40:49,958
But in the game when I

1488
01:40:49,958 --> 01:40:51,666
was winded, I did not.

1489
01:40:53,458 --> 01:40:54,250
When I was just shooting around,

1490
01:40:55,083 --> 01:40:56,625
I bet I make 95% of the shots I take

1491
01:40:56,625 --> 01:40:57,541
anywhere on the court.

1492
01:40:58,041 --> 01:41:02,041
But when in the game, after I got winded,

1493
01:41:02,375 --> 01:41:04,083
I mean, I couldn't see how

1494
01:41:04,083 --> 01:41:05,708
many fingers I had in my hand.

1495
01:41:06,458 --> 01:41:08,208
I was, hey. You were so winded.

1496
01:41:08,250 --> 01:41:09,000
I was tired.

1497
01:41:09,916 --> 01:41:11,625
And my eyes were just, they were going.

1498
01:41:12,250 --> 01:41:12,583
It was crazy.

1499
01:41:13,041 --> 01:41:14,416
You're gonna have to get contacts.

1500
01:41:14,791 --> 01:41:15,083
I know.

1501
01:41:15,333 --> 01:41:16,958
But I just, in just in

1502
01:41:16,958 --> 01:41:18,250
the last four months or so,

1503
01:41:18,250 --> 01:41:19,208
six months of my life,

1504
01:41:19,541 --> 01:41:21,333
I've noticed that little,

1505
01:41:22,083 --> 01:41:22,875
wait a second, I gotta

1506
01:41:22,875 --> 01:41:24,083
move that back just slightly.

1507
01:41:24,083 --> 01:41:25,208
I can't see it that close.

1508
01:41:25,791 --> 01:41:26,166
Yeah.

1509
01:41:26,166 --> 01:41:27,458
And if I have my glasses on,

1510
01:41:28,708 --> 01:41:30,333
I definitely can't see things up close.

1511
01:41:30,333 --> 01:41:31,875
I have to actually take my glasses up

1512
01:41:32,041 --> 01:41:32,958
and then I can see.

1513
01:41:33,958 --> 01:41:35,041
So I'm like, wow.

1514
01:41:35,375 --> 01:41:37,083
I'm gonna start getting gray hair next?

1515
01:41:37,958 --> 01:41:38,583
Oh, honey.

1516
01:41:40,541 --> 01:41:41,416
The mirror should tell you

1517
01:41:41,416 --> 01:41:42,916
that you're already getting it feathered.

1518
01:41:42,916 --> 01:41:43,666
You have like the streak.

1519
01:41:44,333 --> 01:41:44,666
I'm kidding.

1520
01:41:45,000 --> 01:41:45,708
I'm totally kidding.

1521
01:41:46,208 --> 01:41:47,833
Although the kids will say,

1522
01:41:48,333 --> 01:41:49,083
dad, you have way

1523
01:41:49,083 --> 01:41:50,208
less gray hair than mom.

1524
01:41:50,958 --> 01:41:51,333
I know.

1525
01:41:52,083 --> 01:41:52,541
I know.

1526
01:41:53,000 --> 01:41:54,333
They gave you a hard time.

1527
01:41:54,625 --> 01:41:55,666
We'll talk about that next week.

1528
01:41:56,500 --> 01:41:57,833
But no, your gray hair

1529
01:41:57,833 --> 01:41:58,750
is very distinguished.

1530
01:41:59,958 --> 01:42:01,125
But I will start laughing

1531
01:42:01,291 --> 01:42:02,000
if you have a pair of

1532
01:42:02,000 --> 01:42:03,000
glasses up on your head

1533
01:42:03,000 --> 01:42:04,208
and a pair on your nose.

1534
01:42:04,791 --> 01:42:05,958
Oh my gosh.

1535
01:42:05,958 --> 01:42:06,958
No, I'm not ready for that.

1536
01:42:07,958 --> 01:42:08,791
Not ready for that.

1537
01:42:08,791 --> 01:42:09,333
Gotta get back into

1538
01:42:09,333 --> 01:42:11,583
the gym, into our gym.

1539
01:42:12,833 --> 01:42:13,041
Yup.

1540
01:42:13,916 --> 01:42:14,041
Yeah.

1541
01:42:14,333 --> 01:42:15,041
And start playing basketball.

1542
01:42:15,583 --> 01:42:15,916
I am.

1543
01:42:17,000 --> 01:42:18,375
So many calories that way.

1544
01:42:18,416 --> 01:42:18,583
Yeah.

1545
01:42:19,083 --> 01:42:20,083
I mean, knock on wood, as

1546
01:42:20,083 --> 01:42:20,708
long as I don't get hurt,

1547
01:42:20,708 --> 01:42:21,750
it'll be, it should be fun.

1548
01:42:21,750 --> 01:42:22,916
I mean, I love basketball.

1549
01:42:24,000 --> 01:42:24,958
I used to, I guess.

1550
01:42:25,375 --> 01:42:26,333
I used to is the point.

1551
01:42:26,333 --> 01:42:27,333
I think you still do.

1552
01:42:27,458 --> 01:42:28,791
See, 25 years later, I

1553
01:42:28,791 --> 01:42:29,833
don't watch basketball.

1554
01:42:29,833 --> 01:42:30,125
I mean, I guess I

1555
01:42:30,125 --> 01:42:31,125
watch the Jayhawks play.

1556
01:42:31,250 --> 01:42:34,083
I mean, NBA is terrible now.

1557
01:42:34,125 --> 01:42:35,250
It's not much fun, is it?

1558
01:42:35,250 --> 01:42:37,500
No, I do like a college basketball.

1559
01:42:38,333 --> 01:42:39,458
Even college is just, you

1560
01:42:39,458 --> 01:42:40,500
can't build teams anymore.

1561
01:42:40,750 --> 01:42:41,625
That's a whole other thing.

1562
01:42:41,666 --> 01:42:42,833
Oh yeah, that's a whole other segment.

1563
01:42:42,833 --> 01:42:43,708
That's another impeamed

1564
01:42:43,708 --> 01:42:45,166
segment of like, you know.

1565
01:42:45,250 --> 01:42:45,958
NIL money.

1566
01:42:48,625 --> 01:42:49,333
We'll talk about that next week.

1567
01:42:49,333 --> 01:42:51,250
We were gonna nix the NIL money

1568
01:42:51,250 --> 01:42:52,916
conversation in our house.

1569
01:42:53,458 --> 01:42:54,708
Oh, it was one of the dads.

1570
01:42:55,000 --> 01:42:55,500
It was the last

1571
01:42:55,500 --> 01:42:56,833
story, we'll close it down.

1572
01:42:57,083 --> 01:42:58,458
But when I was, I tell you

1573
01:42:58,458 --> 01:42:59,625
that, when we were out there,

1574
01:42:59,958 --> 01:43:01,958
I was telling people about the NIL story.

1575
01:43:02,166 --> 01:43:03,041
Did I tell that story on here?

1576
01:43:03,291 --> 01:43:03,750
I think I did.

1577
01:43:04,208 --> 01:43:05,041
Somebody next to us bought

1578
01:43:05,041 --> 01:43:06,625
the house with NIL money.

1579
01:43:07,083 --> 01:43:08,708
And he's like 23 years old, nice kid.

1580
01:43:09,708 --> 01:43:11,375
But it's like, hey, oh yeah, that must,

1581
01:43:11,833 --> 01:43:12,916
if someone gave me $5

1582
01:43:12,916 --> 01:43:14,250
million when I was 23,

1583
01:43:14,250 --> 01:43:15,291
just as a head start

1584
01:43:15,291 --> 01:43:18,500
in life after, you know,

1585
01:43:18,500 --> 01:43:22,000
I mean, I played college ball, you know,

1586
01:43:22,000 --> 01:43:24,416
and this kid's not in the NFL, you know,

1587
01:43:24,416 --> 01:43:25,625
so it's like, he wasn't

1588
01:43:25,625 --> 01:43:26,708
like an outstanding player,

1589
01:43:26,750 --> 01:43:27,166
potentially.

1590
01:43:27,958 --> 01:43:29,000
I don't wanna talk, I

1591
01:43:29,000 --> 01:43:29,875
don't wanna talk smack around.

1592
01:43:29,875 --> 01:43:31,458
I don't know enough about him.

1593
01:43:32,000 --> 01:43:32,958
Nice kid, nice dad.

1594
01:43:34,166 --> 01:43:34,875
I'm jealous, this is

1595
01:43:34,875 --> 01:43:35,500
what it comes down to.

1596
01:43:35,500 --> 01:43:36,583
I'm jealous that he got a

1597
01:43:36,583 --> 01:43:38,958
$5 million check from NIL

1598
01:43:38,958 --> 01:43:40,166
and he bought the house right next to us

1599
01:43:40,166 --> 01:43:40,916
and I was like, oh, I

1600
01:43:40,916 --> 01:43:43,833
worked 30 years to buy this lot.

1601
01:43:45,875 --> 01:43:46,666
More power to you.

1602
01:43:46,666 --> 01:43:47,250
More power to you.

1603
01:43:47,500 --> 01:43:48,250
More power to you.

1604
01:43:49,291 --> 01:43:51,875
All right, well, anything

1605
01:43:51,875 --> 01:43:53,208
you wanna finish up with?

1606
01:43:55,041 --> 01:43:55,750
You know what?

1607
01:43:56,916 --> 01:43:57,083
No.

1608
01:43:57,083 --> 01:43:57,958
I like our two new

1609
01:43:57,958 --> 01:43:59,541
segments, so I think I'm good.

1610
01:44:00,250 --> 01:44:03,458
Yeah, look at some segmentality on here.

1611
01:44:04,666 --> 01:44:05,625
Segmentation?

1612
01:44:07,250 --> 01:44:08,375
Segmentality?

1613
01:44:08,458 --> 01:44:09,541
Segmentality-isms.

1614
01:44:10,583 --> 01:44:11,041
There we go.

1615
01:44:12,333 --> 01:44:12,875
I like that.

1616
01:44:14,500 --> 01:44:16,375
All right, we can do it.

1617
01:44:17,291 --> 01:44:18,583
Well, hopefully we thought out,

1618
01:44:18,583 --> 01:44:19,166
hopefully everything's

1619
01:44:19,166 --> 01:44:21,041
okay for everybody out there

1620
01:44:21,041 --> 01:44:23,000
in the cold that was in the cold as well.

1621
01:44:23,916 --> 01:44:25,333
It's just cold, but Texas

1622
01:44:25,333 --> 01:44:26,333
isn't made for the cold.

1623
01:44:26,541 --> 01:44:27,208
No, it's not made.

1624
01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:31,416
It's creased, pipes burst, burst pipes.

1625
01:44:32,791 --> 01:44:33,375
Pipes burst.

1626
01:44:34,166 --> 01:44:35,000
Yeah, have another.

1627
01:44:37,625 --> 01:44:38,416
Homes here were built to

1628
01:44:38,416 --> 01:44:41,000
keep in the cool, right?

1629
01:44:41,375 --> 01:44:43,583
Not the heat, so we have

1630
01:44:43,583 --> 01:44:45,250
what, another 24 hours of this

1631
01:44:45,500 --> 01:44:46,500
before it gets, before

1632
01:44:46,500 --> 01:44:47,083
we thought out again?

1633
01:44:47,125 --> 01:44:49,208
We hit the low, but yeah, we get above,

1634
01:44:49,208 --> 01:44:50,375
tomorrow we get above free things.

1635
01:44:51,458 --> 01:44:52,041
Sweet.

1636
01:44:53,166 --> 01:44:53,833
We'll still fall

1637
01:44:53,833 --> 01:44:54,833
below freezing all the way

1638
01:44:54,833 --> 01:44:55,833
through next Tuesday, but

1639
01:44:55,833 --> 01:44:57,208
we're still above it, so.

1640
01:44:57,833 --> 01:44:58,583
Well, we might wanna put

1641
01:44:58,583 --> 01:44:59,916
some salt on those stairs.

1642
01:45:01,041 --> 01:45:02,416
I gotta go out tomorrow anyways.

1643
01:45:04,000 --> 01:45:05,250
Well, everybody, thanks

1644
01:45:05,250 --> 01:45:07,583
for tuning in, I guess.

1645
01:45:08,291 --> 01:45:09,541
Be kind to one another.

1646
01:45:10,708 --> 01:45:11,541
Appreciate the law,

1647
01:45:11,791 --> 01:45:13,375
appreciate this incredible country

1648
01:45:13,375 --> 01:45:14,291
that was founded

1649
01:45:14,291 --> 01:45:19,041
centuries ago under certain

1650
01:45:20,541 --> 01:45:22,166
inalienable rights.

1651
01:45:23,958 --> 01:45:24,125
Yep.

1652
01:45:24,875 --> 01:45:25,958
That we should just

1653
01:45:25,958 --> 01:45:27,625
cherish the Constitution

1654
01:45:27,833 --> 01:45:28,875
that was put in place,

1655
01:45:29,875 --> 01:45:32,041
and the rules, and the law,

1656
01:45:32,291 --> 01:45:33,291
and the government that the

1657
01:45:33,291 --> 01:45:35,291
way it was supposed to be.

1658
01:45:36,458 --> 01:45:36,500
Appelled.

1659
01:45:36,500 --> 01:45:37,750
It was meant to be upheld.

1660
01:45:39,750 --> 01:45:41,625
You know, we do, we

1661
01:45:41,625 --> 01:45:42,708
have an amazing country,

1662
01:45:42,708 --> 01:45:43,916
but let's not lose it,

1663
01:45:43,916 --> 01:45:45,083
so be kind to each other.

1664
01:45:46,166 --> 01:45:46,791
Support the people

1665
01:45:46,791 --> 01:45:48,166
that want it to carry on

1666
01:45:48,500 --> 01:45:50,208
the way it used to be great.

1667
01:45:50,958 --> 01:45:51,083
Yep.

1668
01:45:52,125 --> 01:45:53,125
And I'll leave it at that,

1669
01:45:53,125 --> 01:45:54,833
because it could be a whole podcast

1670

Exactly.

1672
01:45:58,416 --> 01:46:00,250
Other than that, stay

1673
01:46:00,250 --> 01:46:02,750
warm, and anything else?

1674
01:46:02,791 --> 01:46:03,791
We'll see you on the other side.

1675
01:46:03,833 --> 01:46:04,791
On the other side.

1676
01:46:05,916 --> 01:46:06,250
All right.

1677
01:46:06,291 --> 01:46:06,708
All right.

1678
01:46:07,041 --> 01:46:07,666
See ya. Time to go.

There's a chance dry

January might be slightly damp.

1682

Yeah.

02:00:08,583 --> 02:00:10,916
is don't leave us to ourselves because

1687
02:00:10,916 --> 02:00:12,500
our worst vices surface.

1688
02:00:13,083 --> 02:00:13,708
Pop out.

1689
02:00:13,708 --> 02:00:15,375
Hey, life's tough.

1690
02:00:15,791 --> 02:00:16,625
I'm the butt of every

1691
02:00:16,625 --> 02:00:17,416
joke in this family.

1692
02:00:17,875 --> 02:00:18,958
That's another episode.

1693
02:00:19,666 --> 02:00:22,625
So if anybody watches Dateline--

1694
02:00:23,416 --> 02:00:24,750
However, so many wives

1695
02:00:24,750 --> 02:00:25,791
poison their husbands.

1696
02:00:26,416 --> 02:00:28,916
If one of us dies in the next month

1697
02:00:29,500 --> 02:00:30,916
under mysterious circumstances--

1698
02:00:31,208 --> 02:00:32,041
That's the connection.

1699
02:00:32,416 --> 02:00:33,208
You're a weak cutter.

1700
02:00:33,500 --> 02:00:34,125
Oh, that's a PK.

1701
02:00:34,791 --> 02:00:36,750
If we don't stand for it and uphold it,

1702
02:00:36,750 --> 02:00:38,666
it's not self-sustaining upon itself.

1703
02:00:39,250 --> 02:00:40,375
We take it for granted

1704
02:00:40,375 --> 02:00:41,625
because we've had it,

1705
02:00:41,625 --> 02:00:43,708
because people have stood up for it.

1706
02:00:43,708 --> 02:00:45,000
Ooh, tough transition.

1707
02:00:45,208 --> 02:00:45,958
That got deep.

1708
02:00:46,208 --> 02:00:46,583
You won.

1709
02:00:46,916 --> 02:00:47,666
You had it worse.

1710
02:00:48,291 --> 02:00:50,500
God, I love the smell of the gym.

1711
02:00:50,500 --> 02:00:51,916
It really smells like sweat and feet.

1712
02:00:52,458 --> 02:00:53,583
I know, legally what?

1713
02:00:53,583 --> 02:00:55,583
You've got to stop telling people this.

1714
02:00:56,250 --> 02:00:57,125
We'll see you on the other side.

1715
02:00:57,375 --> 02:00:58,166
On the other side.
