Speaker 1: Were at the same place that you were at this
Speaker 1: weekend with their their kids.
Speaker 2: It is so good. It is so competitive but so fun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and there's a lot of people and a lot
Speaker 1: you were on a you had to take a shuttle to.
Speaker 3: The place, Like, yeah, you called me and I was
Speaker 3: on the shuttle.
Speaker 1: Had I had to call Shannon to ask her a
Speaker 1: question about the iHeartRadio Music Festival, and I go, why
Speaker 1: are you talking like that?
Speaker 4: She was like, Hey, how you doing? What's going on?
Speaker 4: I'm like, where are you right now?
Speaker 3: School bus?
Speaker 1: I thought she was in a toilet, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. But she's like, I'm on a bus getting
Speaker 1: shuttled to Smith's swim meet. I'm like, I would not
Speaker 1: go to my kids meet if I had to get
Speaker 1: shuttled like that gives me anxiety.
Speaker 3: There are a lot, I mean, there are thousands of people.
Speaker 2: Smith and lou by the way, both swam and both
Speaker 2: did absolutely phenomenal, So so proud of them.
Speaker 3: They all the kids like do these fake tactoos?
Speaker 5: As I saw just Smith looked like Jason Moole, you know.
Speaker 3: But it was really fine. But we.
Speaker 2: I had no idea. I still am like very clueless
Speaker 2: with all this. I have no idea like where I'm
Speaker 2: supposed to be half the time, and like where I'm
Speaker 2: supposed to sit. So I get there. I left the
Speaker 2: show a little bit early on Friday. I get there
Speaker 2: on Friday morning, and normally I just go and like
Speaker 2: find a spot to stand or like sit in a
Speaker 2: bleachers or something and try to watch this thing. But
Speaker 2: it's you know, you could have like reserved seats, there
Speaker 2: are certain areas for different people. I do not subscribe
Speaker 2: to any of that. And so I get there and
Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, I'm trying to figure out where to go.
Speaker 2: And I see some of my friends who are sitting
Speaker 2: in this really sweet VIP section and I'm like, oh dang,
Speaker 2: like they paid for really good seats and they're all
Speaker 2: waving me over, and I'm thinking, okay, like I'm clearly
Speaker 2: not a VIP here. And so I had to like
Speaker 2: give security a story.
Speaker 3: Of like, oh see, I'm trying to go over there to.
Speaker 2: Talk to them, because it was like buttoned down with security.
Speaker 2: So I did, and I went over and hung out
Speaker 2: with them, and they were insistent that I sit with
Speaker 2: them for Friday and Saturday, because this was like an
Speaker 2: all day thing Friday, all day thing Saturday.
Speaker 3: Which is so nice.
Speaker 2: Anytime I left that area, I had to borrow their credentials,
Speaker 2: like their lanyard and stuff to go to the bathroom
Speaker 2: if I wanted to get a drink, to walk down
Speaker 2: and take a picture of the kids. So literally I
Speaker 2: was a fake and Wes too West was there with me,
Speaker 2: a fake VIP all weekend and just had to fake
Speaker 2: it until I made it to get wherever I wanted
Speaker 2: to be because we were legitimate VIPs.
Speaker 1: Give us a description of that is, did you fake
Speaker 1: you make a lanyard at home or what did you do?
Speaker 2: No, So like there were if you paid to sit
Speaker 2: in that section, you were given a lanyard. So we
Speaker 2: were able to get ourselves in there at the start
Speaker 2: of the day like before things got crazy. But if
Speaker 2: we ever left, like when Smith he won first in
Speaker 2: a race, well I wanted to go down and take
Speaker 2: a picture of him on the podium. Like I knew,
Speaker 2: I wasn't going to be able to get back into
Speaker 2: this area, so I had to take somebody's lanyard and
Speaker 2: say you stay here, I'm going to take it, go
Speaker 2: down and take a photo, bring it back up and
Speaker 2: then we would switch and that's what I did all
Speaker 2: weekend long.
Speaker 1: So flich you'd flash the badge. Yeah, they don't look
Speaker 1: at it, yeah specifically.
Speaker 3: Yeah, which was so nice of our friends to let
Speaker 3: us do that.
Speaker 1: But I just felt like, was there room for you
Speaker 1: or what did like, did you guys have tight squeeze in?
Speaker 1: Because I would think it was yeah, because it's funny,
Speaker 1: you know what it reminds me of. It reminds me
Speaker 1: of when we do our jingle ball and people will
Speaker 1: want to come backstage and I'll be like, hey, can
Speaker 1: I borrow your you know, your pass I don't want
Speaker 1: to go out and get somebody, you know what I.
Speaker 3: Mean, like you or you bring somebody best way better
Speaker 3: than mine.
Speaker 4: Well. The problem.
Speaker 1: The problem though, sometimes is when you when you're sitting
Speaker 1: there without the pass on and somebody sees it and
Speaker 1: then they call you out. Because I will say this
Speaker 1: to you. As much fun as it is to going
Speaker 1: to VIP, it's that much less fun when they say, hey,
Speaker 1: you you the hard time.
Speaker 2: I'm thinking that because when we were sitting there, we
Speaker 2: didn't have any anything on us. Wes and I were
Speaker 2: like we stuck out like sore thumbs. Yeah, because we
Speaker 2: didn't have any of that stuff. Yes, I wish, I
Speaker 2: guess I could have somehow done it.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's wild though that it's wild when you
Speaker 1: do have that where your kids are in some kind
Speaker 1: of an event, like you know, it's like this high
Speaker 1: school graduation. I remember high school graduation at the boys' school,
Speaker 1: Notre Dame. Prop They had seating that was like right
Speaker 1: up close and nice, and then they had everybody else sitting,
Speaker 1: you know, on the bleachers. And I remember one year
Speaker 1: for one of the boys, we bought it an auction,
Speaker 1: a chance to sit like in the vip, so to speak.
Speaker 1: And then it wasn't available for what I think it
Speaker 1: might have been for Jacob or Joe or for Luke
Speaker 1: and h I remember saying to Chelsea, were with the
Speaker 1: common people, we're hanging out here.
Speaker 2: Well then I always joke, I'm like, I always sit
Speaker 2: in Gen Pop. I always sit in Gen Pop at
Speaker 2: the swim meet.
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, graduation, it's unbelievable.
Speaker 2: Fifth grade, I bought seats at an auction, like a
Speaker 2: donation to the school to sit in the row.
Speaker 6: If you've been on the opposite end of it where
Speaker 6: I had the tickets and like I showed up late
Speaker 6: to a concert and there were two people in my
Speaker 6: seats and I was like, wait, these aren't my seats,
Speaker 6: and they're like, oh, oh, we just we snuck down here,
Speaker 6: and there can we just scooch over and all stand
Speaker 6: in the same row.
Speaker 4: And honestly, don't you feel bad when you have to
Speaker 4: kick them out?
Speaker 6: Though?
Speaker 4: Or you are you good with it?
Speaker 6: I was too afraid to kick them out, but then
Speaker 6: none of us could sit down because we had ten
Speaker 6: people in.
Speaker 1: An ape person I've had I've had that at at games,
Speaker 1: at you know, Tigers games or Pistons games or Lions games,
Speaker 1: and you're there and you're like, please let an usher
Speaker 1: come over. Be the bad guy, because I don't want
Speaker 1: to be the guy kicking people. You just kick them out.
Speaker 5: I mean, if I got a group of ten people
Speaker 5: with me, there have been moments where if it's like
Speaker 5: a full row and they're in my seats, but a
Speaker 5: couple of seats next to me are open, and I'm
Speaker 5: like this.
Speaker 4: Just move down there.
Speaker 5: But I've had two situation too faked to make a
Speaker 5: situation when that went right and when that went wrong.
Speaker 4: When it went wrong. I went to a Pistons game.
Speaker 5: This is years ago, this back in Auburn Hills and
Speaker 5: I bought like a last minute seat.
Speaker 4: It was like high up ticket was cheapest.
Speaker 6: Hell.
Speaker 5: So I'm walking down and I'm drunk. I'm feeling I'm
Speaker 5: like I could do anything. So I walk all the
Speaker 5: way down. I get on the floor. The cheerleaders are
Speaker 5: in the back. I'm walking past the teerleaders.
Speaker 4: I'm waving.
Speaker 5: They all smiling, looking good. I'm thinking they like me.
Speaker 5: I see the course side right there. I'm like, oh,
Speaker 5: it's man. I'm about to go sit on the floor.
Speaker 4: I get my foot on the floor. I make it right.
Speaker 4: I don't know where this usher spawn from. Put his
Speaker 4: hand on my chest like hey, he's like, where's your ticket?
Speaker 4: I was like, yeah, my man's up there. Got He's like, nah, finger.

Speaker 1: is though I don't I would have had complete nervous
Speaker 1: stomach the entire weekend that we were sitting there, thinking

Speaker 1: other teams, do you guys chir.
Speaker 3: I mean the the.
Speaker 2: Kids mostly, do you know, It's not so much the parents,
Speaker 2: because I feel like a lot of the parents are
Speaker 2: friends outside of like the teams. But the kids get
Speaker 2: really competitive with it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because it's it's interesting. Like the buddies of
Speaker 1: mine whose kids do this swim stuff there, they keep.
