This story might be TMI, so viewer

discretion advised here.

Weird, weird night.

I got it on the one else.

I think there's a movie about that.

I don't want to implicate too many

people, but I was in a plane crash.

It's frolicking in a fountain.

I like that.

Is how it was described to me.

I'm around upon corporate getaways.

All college guys smell the same.

I'm over it.

It's not sexy anymore.

We're dedicated, but not that dedicated.

I'm sorry, you're right.

You're right, I'm wrong.

You don't hear it.

Smash that like button.

Do you regret that decision?

So, yeah, I--

Okay, great segment.

Well, moving on.

Next question.

Welcome to the Mr. and

Mrs. English Podcast.

I'm Megan.

And I'm Shum.

We're here to talk about the wild ride of

raising kids, growing careers,

keeping life together in

the middle of all the chaos.

So buckle up, because we're all in this

crazy journey together.

T-T.

Ta-ta.

T-t-ter-tat.

Oh, that's a good one.

Maybe that's one I used.

Yeah.

T-t-ter-tat.

That's probably a really good one.

Nicely done.

I'm not gonna remember it next week.

All right, welcome, everybody.

Welcome.

It is middle of May,

and this is episode 19.

Yeah.

And when did we get to the middle of May?

I mean, obviously 15 days ago, but--

Slowly, but surely, yeah.

Within the last two or three days.

I mean, okay, so that's

the mathematical answer.

That's kind of the way

I look at it, I guess.

But doesn't it feel

like it was just March?

Yeah.

I was at the dentist

this morning, as you know.

And one of the things we talked about--

I don't remember if I told you this,

because you just got back.

You literally just flew back into town.

Right.

And we gotta go pick up the kids right

after we get done doing this.

So it's like, this is the chaos train.

I mean, like, it's totally true.

This is just a little--

If you peel back everybody's--

What's the term?

If you open everybody's book or you pull

back everybody's curtain a little bit,

this is what you see, right?

This is what you see, yeah.

We had 40 minutes before we

gotta go get the kids at school.

Yeah.

We gotta go to soccer.

All that stuff.

At the dentist this morning, though,

which is something else we fit in.

I fit in.

I was telling her, I was like, just

another one of those signs of the time

that you're getting old.

Because not only as you get older, time

seems to go fast, right?

It's like, gosh, just like you just said.

When do we get to May?

Time is flying by.

Right.

Well, our kids are starting to say that.

Like, our oldest is

like, this year just flew by.

Yeah.

And it's not until

you get to a certain age

that the years actually

seem to start going quickly.

Yeah.

And so that is a sign that

not only are we getting older,

but our kids are getting older, too.

It's sands of time, man.

I know.

It's a little sad, but, you know.

Yeah.

I am grateful to be on this side, right?

Like, I'm still upright, still going,

but it's still just a little bit sad to

be like, why does it keep going faster?

Yeah.

Now, did you hear the

theory that they've--

multiple kids have shared

it with me in our house?

Yeah.

Like, maybe we just don't do enough

exciting things that slow it down,

that help punctuate that time.

Well, I touched base on that just a

little bit last week,

not even, obviously, totally separately,

but, I mean,

everything was new then, right?

So you're experiencing a lot of new

things that you never knew.

Yeah.

Right?

So the older you get, I think it's the

harder to find new experiences, right?

Yeah.

That's why we search out, you know, going

on vacations to Europe.

Yeah. Why we try to, you know, go find new

places to be that we haven't been,

you know, the Grand Canyon.

Right.

Because those are new

experiences, you know,

going back to the same

place or the same spot.

That's not as great as that is at times.

Right.

It's not a new

experience, which, I don't know.

There's just something

about being somewhere new.

Yeah.

I don't know.

It is exciting.

Or just a new smell or a new song, you

know, all those new things.

Yeah.

But, I don't know.

I mean, I don't know.

There's some psychology to how that those

experiences or big experiences

help punctuate time and make

it slow down in your own mind.

Yeah.

Which is really cool.

Yeah, it is.

Why any more big experiences?

Apparently we do.

It's fine.

We know.

It's fine.

Well, welcome back, honey.

You just landed an

hour, maybe, and a half ago.

Yeah.

So just busy, busy.

Yeah.

You know?

How does it feel to be

important in business?

It's an inside joke.

A total inside joke.

Oh, if only I actually was.

Yeah.

No.

But it feels so good to be home.

Like you walk in the door and it's just

like, oh, I am so glad to be home.

Yeah.

It's tough to travel for work.

And I think.

It would be, it would,

well, so many thoughts there.

Yeah.

It's tough having you gone, right?

Because through our marriage, I've been

the one that's traveled.

Yes.

And luckily I don't travel a lot.

I've been.

Not so much anymore.

Yeah.

Once a week or once every other week.

Yeah.

Because I was in charge of my own

schedule for the most part.

So, you know, I could work around things.

But yeah, it is, it's different than not

having a mom at the house.

You know, I mean, dad, the kids are

always surprised when dad

knows how to use the dishwasher

and do stuff like that.

You know, you wash dishes too.

You know, like the

pancakes we've talked about.

I mean, like they're really surprised at

how capable fathers are.

Oh yeah.

When mom's not here.

I mean, I think I did

take care of myself.

Like you're 28 when we met.

Yeah.

That's right.

I adulted.

That's right.

On my own.

That's right.

Eight to 10 years before.

Fed myself, clothed

myself, all that stuff.

All that stuff.

All my own.

Yeah.

So glad to hear that.

Yeah.

And I haven't lost.

I haven't lost touch with that either.

That's good.

Although you, you have probably sharpened

my skills at some of

those things after seeing

just how good you are at doing.

Yeah.

Well, maybe that's why I do them is

because I am superior

apparently at doing laundry

or the dishes.

Yeah.

Which is why that's all yours.

It's actually not you like you actually

asked to do laundry

because I said I am happy to

do my laundry.

If it takes that off your schedule.

This was decades ago when we were still

kind of figuring out

like, yeah, wants to do what,

you know, trying to split.

Yeah.

And you said you didn't want to do it.

Yeah.

I mean, you were fine doing it.

You didn't want to give it up.

Right.

Because there's a certain way you like to

fold the clothes or

certain way you like to

hang the clothes, all that kind of stuff.

It comes down to the

fact that I am type A.

Do you regret that decision?

So not usually.

What's a bigger thought

than I thought I might get?

No, because I mean, I like doing, I don't

say I like doing it,

but I like it being done

my way.

So that is good.

So I get some satisfaction.

But sometimes it is a hindrance because

it's one of those things

that I mean, you are dirty

in clothes as you wash them.

Like you're wearing clothes, getting them

dirty by just existing in clothes.

And so the fact that it is a never

ending, just perpetual

cycle sometimes feels annoying.

Yeah.

I 100% understand that.

And this goes back to I may have heard

this and this might be

this story might be TMI.

So viewer discretion advised here.

But I know exactly what we hit on.

I lived on my own for a long time and you

know this story, but I am type A as well.

But I am also a little, I'm a little OCD

when it comes to things

somewhere on that spectrum.

But when it came to cleaning my house or

my condo that I had, it

was a three bedroom condo

that I owned.

First real estate that I

own three bedroom condo.

I cleaned it every weekend because I

like, you know, I'm

just a clean freak too.

You know that.

But I would also make sure all my clothes

were cleaned at the same time.

So there was a one moment in time that

everything was cleaned in my

house except for one thing.

And that was the pair of boxers that I

wore because all the

clothes went into your point.

Like all the clothes went in because like

the clothes you're

wearing are getting dirty.

They're getting dirty.

So I got I got it down to just

one pair, one pair of boxers.

And that was the only thing that was

dirty in the whole house.

It's amazing.

Yeah.

Um, yeah, I didn't get it.

I can't do that.

Life hasn't life doesn't allow for that

to get to that level of efficiency.

Yeah.

No, it really doesn't.

It doesn't.

I don't know what that is.

It's something though.

It's something.

I knew someone she would

wear an old prom dress.

So something that she

would never actually wear.

And that's what she wore

while she was doing laundry.

Yeah.

Because she's like, I don't, I'm never

actually gonna wear this

and I'm only wearing it when

I'm doing laundry.

Yeah.

And she actually wouldn't wear

undergarments underneath.

And so she was like,

yeah, so she in theory got.

Fancy.

100%.

Yeah.

Her laundry and her old prom dress.

Yeah.

Which is probably dry clean only.

So she couldn't do it anyways.

Exactly.

Interesting.

Um, I have not reached your

level or hers for that matter.

Um, I do the laundry fully closed.

Yeah.

All right, people.

We're back.

I had a frog in my throat.

Sorry about that.

But I was gone so long trying to get rid

of that frog, which is not gone.

That Megan has lost her thought.

Yes.

Which is a rarity.

It must have been a

long time and distracting.

I was trying to be like, gosh, you

usually don't get, you

don't get verklempt like that

very often.

Like you don't get,

that's the wrong word for it.

But it's been a long week, people.

Um, but you don't get

like that very often.

And I was like, gosh, are you okay?

You're really like coughing on this.

Yeah.

Make sure you're all right.

Yeah.

Well, I think I'll survive another day.

Did you catch the COVID while I was gone?

The COVID.

I don't think so.

Uh, perhaps the measles.

I think those are back down here in

Texas, but I'm vaccinated for that.

So don't worry about it.

Luckily we believe in vaccine spectrum.

Plus I was at the dentist this morning

and they gave me fluoride

and they are too talkative

with me.

Unfortunately about soccer because their

kids play soccer too.

And it's a, it's a

whole, it's a whole thing.

If your kids play soccer at this age.

In fact, I spent way more time talking

about soccer than my teeth.

I mean, like 20 to one time.

Yeah.

Which is probably pretty rare for you

because you usually have to have pretty

in depth discussions

about your teeth.

But anyway.

Yeah.

And that's genetic.

I good oral hygiene.

We've talked about that before.

Yeah.

We'll harken back to our first episode.

We both floss.

Oh my gosh.

That's funny.

Anyways, I didn't get

a chance to ask them.

Excuse me again.

I didn't get a chance to ask them about

fluoride, which is

apparently, you know, going to be

banned from our water now because it

causes brain damage and stuff like that.

That's a political road

that we won't go down.

But they got, they put it on my teeth.

So I wanted to ask you,

you're traveling for work.

I think you go so many places with that.

I know.

We're going to get out the political

thing because there's

just too, again, there's too

much I have to say

about that kind of stuff.

We'll keep it nice.

We'll keep everybody friendly here.

But what, any good stories from this, you

know, what 48 hours of travel you're on?

Because sometimes people that don't

travel a lot, that when

they get to travel, they

let loose a little bit,

maybe more than they should.

Yeah, I don't have any, I don't have any

real stories like that.

It was all pretty tame.

Yeah, I.

Okay, great segment.

Well, moving on.

Next question.

Yeah.

It was a very, very like

chill event, I would say.

However, you definitely

have some crazy stories.

Oh, that crazy.

You might have to

remind me of crazy ones.

But one of the reasons why your company

is so tame now is

because there were some events,

maybe before your time, I'm hopeful.

Yes.

That weren't so tame.

Oh my gosh.

I, yeah, there was, yes, then they were

before my time and I was not there.

But the stories.

People losing clothing,

getting into fountains.

Yes.

Is this in Vegas?

I don't know where it was.

It wasn't there.

But yeah, there was

frolicking in a fountain.

I like that.

Is how it was described to me.

It's frowned upon at corporate getaways.

Believe it or not, yes.

Okay.

Yes.

Note to people.

Again, educational here.

We tend to call those

career limiting moves.

CLMs.

That's actually a term.

People know CLMs.

Yeah, I didn't.

Yeah.

So there was a

frolicking in the fountain.

There are some stories.

Again, I haven't been included in those.

We've learned that everybody needs to

have their own hotel room now.

We're not going to share a house together

and share bathrooms

with our colleagues, our

work colleagues.

Yeah.

A lot of bad decisions

going on 12, 15 years ago.

Yeah.

So I'm glad.

I am glad that I'm sitting in my wife

who's still very

attractive out amongst the people

and she's got her own hotel

room and all this kind of stuff.

Yes.

We're keeping things within the box.

Yes.

There's been a lot of changes over the

last 15 years that, but

yeah, I mean, people use,

they would tell stories

and it was like, holy moly.

Yeah.

Like that's crazy.

Yeah.

And, you know, I don't know.

Some people travel a ton.

I'm not in a job that I travel much, but

yeah, there are just,

you just hear stories.

You were a party I know to one of them at

yours and we talked about it, Robgate.

This is your story.

And you know, I know that one.

Yeah.

I know that one.

I got to be careful because I'm thinking

about things I want to say in this.

I mean, this isn't one that we planned on

talking about or anything, but I do.

I don't want to implicate too many people

that are still out

there in the world, living

their lives happily.

They don't need Sean scooping and some of

them are, but that

one's, I can probably talk

high level enough and people that know

that are in the know, know.

Yeah.

That's it.

Except for maybe the, except for maybe

one gentleman who maybe

his wife doesn't know.

So there's the one gentleman, I just

don't know if I should go into that one.

I mean, needless to say, there have been,

I have been privy to

seeing some people making

bad decisions in their marital bliss

whilst away from their home, the nest.

Yeah.

I don't know how to say that one.

That one is, that one's a little touchy.

That one is, that one is.

I have seen, I've seen a CFO of a billion

dollar company just

trashed out of his mind,

trying to give a speech.

They, they try to get them off the stage.

He gets back up on, takes the mic.

They, you know, it's like

that long cane that comes across.

I mean, like they're trying, they're

escorting this guy off.

Yeah.

I saw that one.

That was an interesting one.

I've never heard this story.

I probably told you, I probably told you

about it, but, but yeah,

that's one of the one where

everybody's just like looking at each

other, you know,

everybody's wide eyed, just looking

around there and going, like, can you

believe what's happening in front of us?

Oh my gosh.

There's the CFO.

I've seen, yeah, I've been privy to a lot

of just, I traveled

every other week for 20

years.

Yeah.

All over the country, but

never anywhere good either.

I was, cause I was in

food and ag funding.

Yeah.

I'd fly to a nice, generally a nice city

and then I'd drive

two hours away from it.

Yeah.

I mean, I think there's a

lot of differences though.

I feel like conferences are oftentimes

where some of the more

crazy stuff can happen.

That's probably true.

Yeah.

I've been through a lot of fun.

I remember New Orleans and yeah, Vegas.

Yeah.

The funny thing about that is just, and

as we got, maybe it

was when we were a little

bit younger, cause I think the older we

get, we probably do

mature, which is a good thing.

Yeah.

Right.

But I do remember talking to you, be

like, I'm just so

surprised at just how loosey goosey

everybody gets when they're out here.

And it's usually the people

that don't travel that much.

So for someone like me,

traveling is annoyance.

I'm over it.

It's not sexy anymore.

Right.

When you're in college, you're like, oh,

I'm going to get on a

plane and go travel for

work and stay in a hotel

and eat out every night.

It's overrated.

So overrated.

Yes.

Now for a banker like me, I'm just your

average poor banker, right?

But maybe there's people that are flying

first class everywhere.

They're staying at the Four Seasons.

They're having steak

dinners every single night.

That's a different travel than I did.

Yeah.

Oftentimes you'd find my receipts with

Dairy Queen on them.

Yes.

In fact, I broke my not having ate at

McDonald's in probably 12

years for the first time ever

in Greenwood, Mississippi, when my boss

was like, let's go to McDonald's.

I was like, do we know?

That's a seal I hadn't broken in so long.

Yeah.

Oh my gosh.

You're like, I don't

want to go to McDonald's.

But you get to see some cool things.

You go to some cool places.

You were at a cool place last night.

Yeah.

We were actually at the Luke Combs Bar.

I think it's called Category 10, which

was really, it's just cool.

I mean, so you do get

to see some cool things.

And I don't travel a whole lot, but every

now and again, you're

like, oh, how did your

knee get around at the Gaylord?

Because you're staying at the Gaylord,

which if you've never

been at a Gaylord, they're

massive.

Everybody should know who the Gaylord is,

but they're just massive hotels that are,

they're like, think of a holodome.

Everybody knows what a holodome is.

A holodome on nuclear steroids.

Yeah.

I mean, they're so large.

And it's, you're kind of working on like,

you know, cobblestone,

because they look very...

They're little towns and

cities inside, kind of.

100%.

Yeah, it is.

It's like a biodome.

You know, you have lots of plants and

trees and walkways and fountains.

Yeah.

And it's like a mini Disneyland, kind of.

Kind of, all inside.

All inside.

And you just hope you don't get lost.

You know, for the first...

Actually, I was only there two days and I

used my map every day.

Anyway.

Your map of the hotel?

Yeah, because someone was like, oh, me...

You know, let's...

It's funny.

To get to the conference, because the

conference is ones you got

to really get down and around

and it's all the way in the back.

Well, and even to get to

my hotel room, I was like...

Yeah.

Okay.

After this, we should talk about...

That one multiple times

for multiple conferences.

I know that one well, so we'll have to...

Anyways, it is...

It is a maze to get around it, especially

the multiple conference rooms back around

different levels.

So crazy.

Yeah.

Anyway, well, my physical therapist, I

keep talking about how

my knee keeps getting hot.

Yeah.

Physically hot.

My other knee is

totally normal temperature.

And I asked, she's like, you know, as

long as it's not red and angry looking.

And I was like, okay, well,

it doesn't look red and angry.

I don't really know what that means, but

it doesn't look red and angry.

Last night, I looked at my knee.

I now know what red and angry looks like.

Oh, really?

It did not look good last night.

It looks fine today.

So I was like, okay, clearly the rest.

You know, like when I

was sleeping last night.

Yeah.

It's good.

Yeah.

It looks horrible today.

I was like, oh, that's angry looking.

That's...

It was so gross.

Oh, that's interesting.

Were you up a lot just walking?

I mean, it's obviously...

It could be a half mile.

Yeah.

I walked a lot the last couple days.

It's just...

It's multiple days.

It's just getting...

Multiple days.

Yeah.

And it was...

I had to do quite a few stairs yesterday.

Oh.

I'm not very good at stairs yet.

Yeah.

If you don't go the right way, they do

have escalators there,

but you have to be...

There are multiple ones.

I'm thinking it through, but...

Yeah.

Anyway, but it was like, stairs onto the

bus to go to the place

and stairs down the bus.

And then there were a lot of stairs.

Those stairs are hard too on your knee.

I'm sure those are big steps.

I know.

So someone actually

thought though that I had been...

They're like, oh my gosh, I

was wondering why it's so slow.

I was like, I just had knee surgery.

He was like, oh, I thought

maybe you had been over-served.

I was like, I haven't

had anything to drink.

Like...

I was like, I have knee surgery.

Maybe you should send out an email.

This is a follow up.

Hey, great to see everybody.

There was a mention that someone thought

I was over-served last

night after seeing me

board the bus.

It was getting...

Going home at 10 o'clock.

Actually, no, this was at like 6 o'clock.

So that's why I was like...

Oh really?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I don't think the rumor is going to start

that I was over-served.

Plus I was second to last seat and the

only people behind me I

had gone to dinner with

the previous night so

they knew all about it.

So like, I don't know.

It was only one person who didn't know

who made the comment.

Like, I thought maybe

you were over-served.

Yeah.

That's a rumor you want to squash though.

No.

That's pretty funny.

I'll do it a little bit.

That's pretty funny.

I think the best part of traveling for me

is just sitting at the

airport watching people

and just trying not to

be annoyed with them.

Because at the end, in the end when you

travel enough, it's just

all the frustrating people

that aren't familiar maybe with traveling

or people that are

MIPs, most important people

who just are doing their thing and they

don't care about anybody else.

That's the hardest part of

navigating traveling to me.

Yeah.

There are a lot of those.

Or you always get stuck by the worst

people on the plane too.

Oh my gosh.

I mean, I am not kidding.

I had to take a migraine pill in the

middle of this fight

because the guy next to me smelled

so bad.

Yeah.

I have not smelled that smell since

college and it is the college guy smell.

All college guys smell the same.

They all smell like stale beer and dirty

clothing and maybe

didn't shower for a day

or two.

So a little bit of

greasy hair smell in there.

Mm.

Paints a picture.

It paints a picture.

I'm telling you, all

college guys smell like this.

I didn't know you in college.

You may be different.

I don't drink beer, so I

didn't smell like beer.

Yeah, but it is.

It's that stale beer.

And I was just like, "Oh my

gosh, you've been on a bender.

You didn't change your clothes and you

certainly didn't

shower since last night."

And you're sitting next to me.

They always seek you out,

especially on the ones...

Go ahead.

And someone behind me

was eating Chinese food.

Yeah.

At least it wasn't

reheated salmon or something.

That is the only...

Only worst one.

That is the only thing worse than Chinese

food on an airplane.

Yeah.

Like, do people not know...

This is the IMP section.

Do they not know the etiquette?

There's only certain foods

that you can eat on an airplane.

I don't think etiquette exists anymore.

People don't care about

other people, for the most part.

Yeah.

I think the general rule is that now.

Where it didn't used to be that way.

Yeah.

We're the minority when it comes to that.

That's a soapbox comment on mine.

I won't go any further

down that road, but...

Yeah.

Yeah, there's a lot of...

I get the worst.

And there was a talker behind me.

At least they weren't next to me.

A talker.

I was like, "Oh, I get the worst."

The talkers that can't take the hint.

They're talking to me with my...

I've got my headphones

on or my buds in my ear.

And they're talking to me.

And you're over exaggerated, right?

Like, "Oh, sorry.

Sorry.

Let me get this out of my ear because I'm

listening to something and not you."

Yes.

But you're talking to me.

Right.

About what now?

Yeah.

What did you say?

No, I don't live here, darling.

Nope.

I'm going home.

Yep.

And you always put the earbud in as

you're finishing the sentence?

Yeah.

I'm going...

Exactly right.

I'm going home.

And I'll just note here for you that

there is no follow-up question from me.

I am not volleying back to you.

So pop...

You literally put it in

while you finish the statement.

But I've had an old lady literally tap me

on the shoulder even after that.

You don't tap me on the shoulder like...

I'm like, "Oh, sorry.

I thought it made it obvious.

I am not a talker.

Introvert.

I'm tired.

I'm grumpy.

Yes.

And I'm listening to something.

I have a headphone in my ear.

Yes.

But yes, I do fly often.

Yes.

Yes, I fly often.

Once again.

You might note the shortness and maybe

the slight curtness of my answer.

I think if you have to...

You've asked me more than two questions.

Like, "Oh my gosh."

Yeah.

It gets worse.

Yeah.

By the third question, it's just a

one-word answer to get it over with.

Yeah.

You remember that fight that we were on

the one time where that

guy was getting in a fight

on the aisle right next to you?

Oh my gosh.

Yeah.

That was scary.

It was super scary.

I was sitting like...

There's a one time we've

ever not been in the same seats.

I was flying back

from my cousin's funeral.

You weren't there.

Oh, I wasn't there.

And the guy was drunk and belligerent and

he was cussing up a

storm and the guy sitting...

I was on the aisle.

No one was in the middle.

And then the guy on the window, he wasn't

paying any attention to this guy.

We're all trying to ignore him.

And he was picking fights with people

going down the aisle.

He also decided to pick a fight with the

guy sitting by the

window because he was wearing

a cowboy's jersey.

Yeah.

I mean, the man was just sitting there.

That's fair.

And I mean, see what you

will about the cowboys.

There's no reason to get on a plane and

start cussing up someone

and trying to pick a fight.

And the guy wouldn't bite.

And he's like, "Okay, man."

And he was escorted.

We were grounded until they called the

cops to escort him off the plane.

And he was standing right next to me.

Was I on the phone with you or you were

texting me or something?

I was texting you going, "I'm scared."

Because he was leaning over you.

Yeah, I'm scared.

He's right next to me and he is screaming

at the top of his lungs and cussing.

I was scared.

Right.

That's crazy.

That was terrible.

Ugh.

I mean, the one time I'm

not there, that just...

That also frustrates me a

little bit that I wasn't there.

To at least get knocked out in front of

you and then blast y'all.

You're my hero.

Someone help my husband.

Yeah.

Because I was literally...

I was the only thing between the...

I mean, he was out of his mind drunk.

Yeah. Well, you know, you always get...

Those are always the fun

Vegas flights back, right?

There was a time we

owned a company in Vegas.

Oh, yeah.

And so we would fly back

and forth a little bit.

And we got...

We kind of got used to...

Unfortunately, those early morning

flights, people stay

up all night drinking.

They get on the flight.

Yeah.

Oh my gosh.

Yeah.

And there's a few of those just

belligerent people yelling

from the back and talking about

smelling.

Oh.

Being up all night, sweating, having...

Running around the strip.

Yeah.

Throwing up in the back of the plane.

Those are bad ones.

They had bags on that one.

They were thrown up into a bag.

Oh, that's disgusting.

Yeah.

Oh my gosh.

Anyways, we took a turn here.

Let's take another turn somewhere else.

It's more fun.

Yeah.

Speaking of airplanes,

this is one of the...

Here's a fun fact for everybody.

You know that game?

It's like, give me

three facts about yourself.

Yeah.

That two truths and a lie.

Yeah.

Well, I've got quite a

few of these that are...

Could be lies, right?

Yeah.

But are truths.

And one of the ones I always put on here,

so now I can't use it with everybody, but

my grandfather, who flew a plane, he was

in the Navy, I believe.

He was very skilled pilot, but he had a

little kind of single

engine plane that we used to

get around on when I was young and even

when I was a little bit older.

I was in a plane crash.

He actually had an emergency landing.

So it wasn't a crash crash.

We did a nose dive into the

ground or anything like that.

And I don't remember

it because I was a baby.

But my mom told me about it.

And it's one of the ones I always use

that I was in a plane

crash because I was.

The landing gear didn't come out.

He had to fly by the tower to do a check.

He says, "Is my landing gear down?"

And they're like, "Negative.

No landing gear."

So he had to land on the belly, which

takes a little bit of

skill to do right and not

flip the plane and not catch on fire.

So we skidded off.

It was snowy too, so maybe

that helped or didn't help.

I don't know.

But yeah, landed on the

belly, skidded off the runway.

Everybody was good.

Yeah.

That's a super cool story.

Kind of.

Yeah.

I wish I knew more about it, but I wish I

was a little bit

older than I remembered it

too.

It was one of those fun

two lies and whatever.

I survived a plane crash.

That's how I say it.

Is that a crash?

That's a crash landing.

It's a crash landing.

So I don't think I'm

stretching anything there.

No.

Maybe semantics, but I

think it's totally fine.

It's a really cool one.

But it's one of yours.

For my two truths and a lie?

That I have actually pet

a full grown male lion.

Yeah, that's right.

You told me that one before.

Weird night.

I think there's a movie about that.

Weird night is how you sign that.

How you sum that up.

It was such a strange.

That was fantastic.

We go to, it was my roommate at the time.

This is after college.

She was like, yeah, my cousin who,

sometimes you have people

who are really good just

family friends and you call them cousins

or aunts and uncles or whatever.

So she was like, this person in her life

fell into that bucket.

So she called him her cousin.

She's like, he's

having a housewarming party.

Do you want to come with me?

I was like, sure.

I mean, it was a long ways

away and two hours, right?

But he had just built this house.

So he was having a housewarming party.

Invited the entire town.

Oh, wow.

And he had lions, two adult lions, three

Bengal tigers, hyenas.

Oh, she said bear lions, tigers.

And I wish I could.

But there actually were no bears.

There was a baby black panther.

And then like, you know, horses and there

was some snake, I think.

Anyway, yeah.

And they were all in

these chain link cages.

And I'm like, I've never seen this on a

residential property.

Most people probably haven't.

I assumed it was a small town and he

invited like the 38

people that lived there.

Yeah, it was near Menominee, Wisconsin.

So I mean, yes, small town.

But he's familiar with

Menominee, Wisconsin.

Yeah.

It's just north of Oshkosh.

You know, you know, right.

I mean, we're not talking DFW, but we're

also not talking like, you know, the town

my mom grew up in.

Right.

Somewhere in the middle.

Right.

Anyway, yeah.

Yeah.

And so this lion was like, you know,

rubbing his face on the

chain link fence and they're

like, oh, he wants you to pet him.

And I was like, so

what finger don't I need?

And I like stuck my pinky through the

chain link fence and I

like scratched his nose.

Did you really?

Yeah.

I don't remember that part of it.

He scratched his nose with your pinky.

I did because his face is right there.

And I was like, what

else am I going to do?

Which one?

What finger don't I need?

That's crazy close.

Yeah.

And then I got to feed

the baby Black Panther.

No, it was a baby.

It was a baby.

It was really cute.

It's cool.

But like all this totally illegal.

100%.

Yeah.

Like there is not okay.

And this was before Tiger King.

Just I was going to say, wouldn't it be

funny if that was the actual Tiger King?

But before he relocated to Oklahoma.

Louisiana.

I don't know.

We didn't really watch

much Tiger King anyway.

Yeah.

He and so this guy apparently was the

original Tiger King, but not, he didn't

get any of the glory

lions and tigers and hyenas.

Yeah.

I honestly, to this day, I'm

like, was that just a dream?

Yeah.

Because it was weird.

Well, that's good.

I love that.

Well, since we got so many viewers,

obviously comment below on some of yours.

Yes.

We'll get through them.

Yeah.

Lots of lots of lots of

smash that like button.

Yeah.

We'll get through the comments.

There's so many of them.

That's a huge um, sorry.

Dang.

I hate when I do um's.

It was a bad transition though, but I was

going to ask happy Mother's Day to

everybody.

That was this last Sunday.

Yeah.

So happy Mother's Day.

Hope everybody had a good one.

How was yours?

It was good.

Yeah, it was really good.

Um, I did have a chance while I was

traveling this week, um, to go out with

some moms.

We went out for dinner

on one of the nights.

Um, and all of us being moms and we all

talked about the timing of having to

leave the day after Mother's Day.

Kind of impeded Mother's Day.

Cause I think sometimes.

I hated traveling on Mondays because my

Sunday, it just, it, it bled into Sunday

thinking about my travel on Monday.

Yeah.

When I'm trying to prepare, cause I knew

how crazy it was for you and I knew what

your schedule was going

to be like without me.

So I'm like, let me try to make you some

dinner so you don't even have to think

about that.

Let me know.

There's just some extra activities this

week that makes it even crazier week down

apparent.

Yes.

Yeah.

Yes.

So anyway, but it was, it was good.

It was relaxing.

I still want to watch the

end of that James Bond movie.

We couldn't even

finish the James Bond movie.

Yeah.

I don't know how we didn't

see that in the first place.

Yeah.

Started watching him.

Like I haven't seen this.

Yeah.

I knew we hadn't.

Yeah.

Those are good.

Those are good movies.

Good flicks.

Yeah.

I think the kids are liking them.

Yeah.

Well, we had a soccer game on that day

and we made the comment too.

Like, I mean, obviously it's a, it's an

hour over there because we don't play

anywhere close to our house

every time we have a game.

You know, we skipped an 8am practice that

was scheduled like four days beforehand.

A Saturday, Sunday, 8am an hour away

practice practice for our youngest son's

team.

Like, come on.

Coach, love you.

But come on.

That's Mother's Day.

Yeah.

Like we're dedicated,

but not that dedicated.

That's just mean to all the moms.

So we skipped that one.

But that's why I was bringing this up

because we still are soccer moms, you

know, it's like the soccer world.

So we still had a game that day for our

oldest son, which is an hour away and

out, you have to be there an hour before

so they can warm up.

Yeah.

Then it's an hour and

a half of game time.

Yeah.

It's an hour back home.

So it's a lot of hours.

A lot of hours.

But the people we played

had to drive up from Austin.

When you said that I

actually felt bad for complaining.

Yeah.

So they, they threw in an extra four

hours of drive time on top of the drive

time that the two hours

that we have of drive time.

Right.

I, I was like, yeah, that's commitment.

I think that was two 30, right?

We finished that game ish.

Yeah.

So they're getting home, showered seven

o'clock, basically just getting

ready for the next day.

Yeah.

And it's like, and that's Mother's Day.

Happy Mother's Day.

Yeah.

But I mean, that is

part of being a parent.

I think I actually, because I so enjoy

watching the kids play practices are

different for me, but because I like to

watch them play soccer, like I don't

mind going to a game on Mother's Day.

It's just part of being a mother.

Yeah.

You know, it's part of that experience.

The only other one I would compare to

that, that soccer annoys me on, I, I,

there's always a tournament

on our three day weekends.

Always.

Every time.

So we never get three day weekends

because there's always a tournament.

They're like, what's a, what's a three

day weekend that what's a holiday

that we can put a tournament on.

It's just how the soccer world works.

Yeah.

But those are always the ones that your

kids go the farthest.

And so you have to play a million games

on, on to Monday night.

Right.

Yeah.

I mean, we love it, but I

mean, this is part of it.

Right.

But the one that annoys me the most is

Super Bowl Sunday because there's

generally not a tournament.

It's just regularly

scheduled league play.

And they'll have games at like five

o'clock PM on a Super Bowl Sunday.

And we're like, I mean, how do you,

that's a, that's a

holiday for the United States.

Right.

Maybe, maybe the last

ones at one o'clock.

Right.

Sure.

If it's a nine AM game on

Super Bowl Sunday, okay.

Sure.

We're up anyway.

It's fine.

Right.

But yeah, we did this year

and I think we, I don't know.

I think the two teams were playing

chicken to see which team was

going to cancel first.

But, um, yeah, it was like at five PM.

That's right.

Cause everybody was like, cause we have

to put, there was an app for it.

You have to actually click whether you're

going to be there or not.

Yes, no, or maybe he's.

And so I think we

played a little bit of chick.

We were playing chicken on that one too.

We didn't want to put no, but we didn't

want to put yes on that yet.

And so it was one of those things where

we, I think, you know, we weren't the

only parents that did it, but there was

enough question that parents didn't say,

yes, we're going to be there at this five

o'clock game that the coach didn't

want to be like, well, I might cancel it

cause I might not have enough kids.

I'm like, well, that's up to you coach.

If you want to cancel, we'll understand,

you know, but there was still enough

people that were saying yes that don't

care, I guess about, or they're all in,

you know, cause their kids going

professional next year.

They're, they're 11 year old next year.

11 year old straight to premier link.

That's right.

Well, I think they're going overseas.

Man, you are Barcelona.

Oh, it is.

You're right.

I tell you, I was thinking MLS when you

said that for whatever reason.

You're sorry.

You're right.

I'm wrong.

Anyways, we were

playing chicken with that.

He was too, because both, nobody wanted

to cancel, but I don't think anybody had

an intention of playing that game.

And so finally, I think the other team

did flinch first, didn't they?

Because literally it's a, if you, it was

a, it's an L for them, right?

Cause they conceded

the game to us basically.

Which is why you don't

want to be the one to cancel.

You don't want to be the one to cancel.

Yeah.

And you know, we are, I feel like we are

so dedicated to soccer or, or any

sport for that matter, I mean, track is

the same way we'll go to freezing track

meets or scalding hot track meets.

Yeah.

But every now and again, I feel like

there should be some

type of protected time.

Like there are certain things where it's

like, that's just a hard no.

And that should be okay.

That shouldn't be where your comm, you

know, the judgment of your commitment

should lie in those moments.

It's like, I don't know.

I think we built the

credibility on that though, right?

We, we attend 99% of everything.

So that the ones that we don't like,

like, like, like when

I texted the coach on

Saturday saying we're not

going to be there on Sunday.

Sorry.

It's good family plans.

It's Mother's Day.

It's kind of like an FYI

in case you didn't know.

Like, it's Mother's Day.

It's Mother's Day.

Yeah.

But, uh, but there is no problem.

You know what I mean?

Cause we do hit most, but I think if you

miss a lot, you would be judged.

There'll be an issue in this, in this

culture that we live in.

Yeah.

For sure.

So I, that's one of those things,

especially since I was

leaving the next day and I

wouldn't get to see the kids for really

two and a half days, you know, like I

really do want to spend

Mother's Day with them.

Yep.

And I can't wait to see

their little faces tonight.

Oh, you haven't seen them yet.

It's been a while.

I'm gonna go pick them

up here in just a few.

So with that in mind, what do we got?

We got, we got the closing here.

Got the closing.

We should mention,

uh, our middle daughter.

I always say middle daughter, middle

child who has a daughter, but she's

actually her only daughter, so yeah.

Yeah. So, uh, she had her first kind of track

meet now in club season.

We've been practicing since last August

with no track season other than a few

track meets at her school, which is just

probably a different competition level.

Although she did have some good

competition at one of the schools.

Really good.

Which was great.

So we'll probably head to head with her

with that girl and some of those girls on

that team for the next few years.

So that'll be fun.

But, uh, she ran in her first, this is,

this is the one minute of bragging on the

kids, right?

She ran in her first track meet, which

unfortunately you weren't there because

you had a soccer game, but she ran

against 14 or 13 and 14 year olds.

She's 13.

Yeah.

So the age bracket was 13, 14 year olds.

Uh, and she got first place and she

killed it and, uh, she got a time that

qualifies.

So now she has two qualifying times for

the Nike outdoor

meet, which is in Oregon.

And we're learning about this.

So we thought, Oh, if

you qualify, you're in.

That's not it.

You got to qualify and then you got to be

accepted for it because obviously they

want to bring, you

know, good talent there.

Right.

It's so, and you can't

have a million people there.

So I don't know how that I still don't

even know how that

works to this date, but

she had accepted as long story short.

So super excited.

She's going to be, she's going to be

running the a hundred yard dash and the

200 yard dash at the Nike outdoors.

Later this summer.

Yeah, it was in Oregon, in Oregon.

I mean, couldn't be more proud of her

and, and just how strong she was on, on

Saturday when she had to go into that.

Point.

Like we actually entered the meet to be

like, Hey, let's get you used to that

track meet vibe, you know, so it's not a

new, really new experience for you.

You're going to have a

lot of meats coming up.

Let's just get used to it.

You may qualify, you may

not like, but you need a time.

And, but she had played two

soccer games that morning.

Got beat up in those soccer games.

I mean, she's yeah, two soccer games that

morning, two soccer, which we dropped

her off for at 6 45.

Yeah.

Right.

And, uh, yeah, she got, I did an

Instagram post on it

that probably didn't do it

justice, but she got beat up in those two

soccer games, hit to the ground.

She's got turf burns.

And then she had to turn around, get her

attitude right after they didn't lose

all season and they lost

in the championship game.

And I, I don't want to put a caveat

there, but five of our

club players, five of our

starters weren't there all

Saturday, let alone even in.

So they won the, they won the

semi-finals game without them.

Yeah.

But in the finals game, the other team,

from what I understand their club

players were there and they destroyed us.

I mean, it would have been a fun game to

watch if we had our team full team there.

Right.

And the girls that showed that were there

played their butts off.

They did.

They played their hearts out.

And that was a tough loss for them

because they hadn't lost all year.

So I would have loved to have

seen that game head to head.

I'll stop there.

Yeah.

Cause it was just frustrating to watch

the celebrations of their team, just

knowing like there's a

huge asterisk on there.

Like, whatever.

Then, so she had to pick herself off that

and go straight to this meet where she

needed a time she had to get, we're

trying to get a time and

there's other kids there

too, that were trying to get times for

their events that didn't get it.

So these aren't gimmes.

Like it's not just a, Oh,

you gotta, you gotta run.

You gotta just, you gotta hang your time

up and then you get in.

No, you have to qualify at a certain

level because they're

not just going to let

anybody in.

Right.

And so, and so she, and

she got it her first time.

That was her first time ever running an

individual 200 yard or 200 meter dash.

Yeah, she'd never done it.

Right.

So she's got it.

So now she's qualified in

the hundred and the 200.

She's awesome.

And I mean, it's just, it's so fun

watching and the way

she runs cause she, it's

running is much more technical than I

ever thought it was.

So the way that they've taught her to

run, I mean, these

young girls that know and

have been taught technically correct how,

including our daughter, I mean, they look

like Olympian athletes, the way they run.

It's, it's incredible.

Yeah.

They do it.

It's so cool.

Um, yeah, so I'm excited to give her a

hug now that we know she's officially

accepted into the Nike meet.

So, and officially a national honor

society, officially national honor

society, which we're

probably more proud of.

And it's just such a huge accomplishment.

Like very proud of all of our kids.

They're all doing really well.

So I know that's not

what people want this up.

What, what this to be about.

We could talk about her.

We could have a whole nother one.

Our kids are the greatest.

That'll be the name.

Our kids, your kids suck.

That's going to be the name of our,

that's how all parents feel, right?

About their kids.

So our next podcast will

just be your kids suck.

Our kids are better.

Yeah.

And we'll just talk about

our kids the whole time.

It should be called like nana abubu.

Nana abubu.

Yeah.

There we go.

I love it.

All right.

Well, we gotta go.

We're getting long.

We gotta go pick up the kids actually.

Yep.

Um, and I'm just kidding.

We don't think our kids are better.

We just love them and we're blessed.

Yeah.

We're proud of everybody's kids.

We'll put that out there.

We try to be, you

know, modest and have some.

Yeah.

And hope everyone listening takes time to

like really enjoy and

brag on their kids too.

Like, cause it's, please do, please do it

and brag to us about it.

Cause we love to hear

about other people's kids.

Right.

I mean, it's not just about us.

Cause I mean, you always want to be

surrounded by people who are doing really

cool, inspirational things.

And when you see other kids that are

doing those

inspirational things, like you

want your kid around them so that they

have that community of just.

We're just supporting their kid.

I mean, not everybody kid, not

everybody's kids are

getting blue ribbons.

There are kids that are getting ribbons

that are, I don't know.

I got all red blue ribbons.

So I don't know what

other ribbons colors come in.

Come in.

Yeah.

But there are other people that have that

and we want to support those kids too.

Right.

Because ultimately,

isn't it about, I love that.

Too funny.

Isn't it about your,

There's the alarm to

say go pick up the kids.

Okay.

But we are coming to close.

Yes.

And we're going to see our words.

Yes.

All right.

You ready?

Okay.

One, two, three summer.

Not bad.

Yeah.

Cause I was going to

go with anticipation.

Okay.

That's a good one.

And I'm like, you're relieved to be home.

I'm relieved.
