Speaker 1: This is Suckers.
Speaker 2: I'm Keeling Bell, I'm Dean Bell, and I'm Jared Han
Speaker 2: at iHeartRadio podcast. Hey, welcome to an old new episode
Speaker 2: of Suckers with Jared. I forget what Dean said he
Speaker 2: was going to call this podcast. I don't know Suckers daddy,
Speaker 2: I don't really know. Probably words, it shouldn't be the
Speaker 2: same sentence. Once again, my name is Jared.
Speaker 1: That's me.
Speaker 2: It's me myself, and I hope you guys are doing well.
Speaker 2: It's interesting working in the restaurant industry. If anybody out
Speaker 2: there is listening right now and works in the hospitality,
Speaker 2: you know that, Like, weekends are just not a thing.
Speaker 2: And honestly, it boils my blood when somebody who works
Speaker 2: in a restaurant posts like, oh thank god it's Friday,
Speaker 2: and they only post it because they want to be
Speaker 2: basic when actuality, they're like working Friday night, working Saturday.
Speaker 2: If they're lucky they have Sundays off. We all know
Speaker 2: if we work in restaurants how that works. You know
Speaker 2: you gotta work your way up to get Sundays off.
Speaker 2: I me the biggest Patriots fan, the biggest Tom Brady
Speaker 2: fan you'll ever meet in your retire life. Had to
Speaker 2: watch the first half of Super Bowl forty nine, which
Speaker 2: was the Seattle Seahawks versus the New England Patriots at
Speaker 2: the Providence Oyster Bar because I was working and nobody
Speaker 2: would work it for me, because I work Sundays because
Speaker 2: I'm a team player and at the end of the day,
Speaker 2: like I prioritize work over my own personal enjoyment. I
Speaker 2: had working Sundays, but whatever, you gotta do, what you
Speaker 2: gotta do. But it was the Super Bowl and the
Speaker 2: other manager who I asked to cover for me, who
Speaker 2: didn't like football, didn't watch football, was like, oh, we're
Speaker 2: already like going to this Super Bowl party, and I
Speaker 2: said i'd go and we have plans, so I can't
Speaker 2: cover for you.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: Oh I could have killed him, could have could have
Speaker 2: ran them over. God, I was so mad. So anyway,
Speaker 2: my dad was very nice. He was recording the game,
Speaker 2: so I said, Dad, listen, we close it at nine.
Speaker 2: I'm going to make sure i'm out of there by
Speaker 2: nine oh one. The game starts six point thirty. As
Speaker 2: soon as halftime comes up, you pause that game. So
Speaker 2: I have to watch the first half at the Oyster Bar,
Speaker 2: which of course, I had the TV is on blasting,
Speaker 2: and anybody who complained can go to hell.
Speaker 1: It's the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: He paused the game, so I ran rate to my
Speaker 2: parents because there's only about twenty minutes there, closer to
Speaker 2: there to than my house. And I didn't miss anything
Speaker 2: because he paused during halftime, got there, started the game,
Speaker 2: fast forward to the commercials, and then of course we
Speaker 2: caught up Blake late in the third quarter, early in
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter, and then I watched one of the
Speaker 2: greatest moments of my life happened, which is when Malcolm
Speaker 2: Butler intercepted the ball at the one yard line. I
Speaker 2: don't know if you guys know what I'm talking about,
Speaker 2: but I had to just put that in there. Also,
Speaker 2: big news, it's a boy. We announced the gender of
Speaker 2: our newest edition to the family, coming in July, Ashley's
Speaker 2: two days July twenty ninth, and it is another boy.
Speaker 1: And I'm nervous.
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, like, fuh, it's great.
Speaker 1: Like of course, the most.
Speaker 2: Important thing, obviously is the health of the baby. As
Speaker 2: long as we have a healthy child, that's honestly all
Speaker 2: I care about. Everything else, like if I'm complaining or talking,
Speaker 2: it's it's it truly doesn't matter. It's just me spewing words.
Speaker 2: And even though I feel that way, I know it's
Speaker 2: not important. So I hope that comes across. But you know,
Speaker 2: it's a podcast, so I gotta talk. I can't be like,
Speaker 2: you know, hey, as long as everything's you know, healthy,
Speaker 2: it's all I care about. And it's like, of course
Speaker 2: that's what I care about. But like, you know, let's
Speaker 2: talk about a little bit more here. And one of
Speaker 2: the things I want to talk about more is how
Speaker 2: I wanted a girl because I just see my friends
Speaker 2: and you know, I see the difference between boys and girls,
Speaker 2: where boys are obviously just so close to their mother.
Speaker 2: Well do you got daddy's little girl? But I guess my, oh,
Speaker 2: mama's boy. So obviously Dawson is very much a mama's boy,
Speaker 2: which makes sense. You know a lot of my friends
Speaker 2: who have boys, they're mama's boys. A lot of my
Speaker 2: friends who have girls, they are daddy's little girl. So
Speaker 2: the girl is so attached to the father. And also,
Speaker 2: let's be honest, we're just going to keep it real.
Speaker 2: From my experience, girls are much easier at a younger
Speaker 2: age than boys are. Now Granted, I have no idea
Speaker 2: what the future looks like. I could easily see girls
Speaker 2: being much more difficult in the future than boys, because
Speaker 2: boys probably just go with the program, or a girl
Speaker 2: is like asking questions and you're like, listen, we're doing
Speaker 2: this because I said so, we're a boy's just feel.
Speaker 1: Like you sure, whatever, cool, let's go. When did we
Speaker 1: get ice cream?
Speaker 2: But uh, but yeah, it's just Dawson was hard. I
Speaker 2: love Dawson so much. He's the best, and he has
Speaker 2: such a beautiful personality and he brings so much happiness
Speaker 2: to this world, to me, to Ashley, to our family.
Speaker 2: I love him so much. I wouldn't change anything. I
Speaker 2: really wouldn't. But it was hard. You know, he doesn't stop.
Speaker 2: He hasn't stopped. He's better now, he's so much better now.
Speaker 2: I can really kind of talk to him a little bit,
Speaker 2: and I think he's understanding when he can or cannot
Speaker 2: do certain things.
Speaker 1: He's learning, he's learning. He's two years old, you know.
Speaker 1: But man, he was just such.
Speaker 2: A fussy baby, such a fussy baby, did not stop crying.
Speaker 2: I'm nervous Number two's gonna be like that, because if
Speaker 2: we have another really fussy kid like we had with Dawson,
Speaker 2: who isn't sleeping that much through the first year eighteen
Speaker 2: months and also just cries a lot.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: Plus Dawson, you know, plus we'll have a toddler in
Speaker 2: the house. Know, man, I don't know as what I
Speaker 2: was nervous about, but I mean, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 2: You know, we want a family for want Dawson to
Speaker 2: have a sibling. Then it will be all fun. It's
Speaker 2: gonna be all fun.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: It's just one of those things that we just got
Speaker 2: to get through. I think Ashley and I really need
Speaker 2: to like focus in, you know. I think that's a
Speaker 2: big part of it as well, is that, you know,
Speaker 2: we just really need to It's hard because I try
Speaker 2: to talk to Ashley about these things where it's like
Speaker 2: we need to really kind of check in and like
Speaker 2: of course checking on each other.
Speaker 1: But what I mean is like.
Speaker 2: Schedule things out and like have things planned, and you know,
Speaker 2: our weeks are months, they are planned, you know, because
Speaker 2: we have to keep our sanity. I want to keep
Speaker 2: my sanity. I work all the time at Audrey's, you know,
Speaker 2: I come home. I know Ashley's tired. I'm tired too.
Speaker 2: It's just hard. Her parent goes to the exact same thing.
Speaker 2: So I'm not telling you anything new, but I think
Speaker 2: for me what I would like to try, and I
Speaker 2: try to talk to Ashley about it, and she has
Speaker 2: a more difficult time doing this than I. It's really
Speaker 2: just trying to say, Okay, like Monday, we're gonna do
Speaker 2: like we have this and this and that. I know,
Speaker 2: it's like, hypothetically, in my dream world, say we had
Speaker 2: a night nurse, be like, okay, let's plan.
Speaker 1: Let's let's get a night nurse on you know.
Speaker 2: Two days of the week, so like two days of
Speaker 2: the week we get full night's rest, you know. So
Speaker 2: it's like, okay, Monday night we get the night nurse,
Speaker 2: and then Friday night I don't really know, but and
Speaker 2: then it's like, okay, then we have you know, Dawson
Speaker 2: being taken care of by the nanny on these three days.
Speaker 1: And then you know, the new kid.
Speaker 2: You know, we'll try it, like, you know, I'll try
Speaker 2: to get my parents be like I need you at
Speaker 2: least once a week.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: It's h sucks that her parents are so involved with
Speaker 2: the down of Virginia. My parents are great.
Speaker 1: I love them.
Speaker 2: So much, but they're just not nearly as involved. It's
Speaker 2: just a fact. And it sucks because they only live
Speaker 2: like twenty five minutes away, half hour away, but.
Speaker 1: I mean a full Tran experience. They just don't help
Speaker 1: out that much.
Speaker 2: And her parents are so hands on, specifically her mom
Speaker 2: and her sister. They're just so helpful. So I understand
Speaker 2: why I actually wants someone to Virginia. But you know,
Speaker 2: that's a conversation for a different day. There's a regular
Speaker 2: that comes into Audrey's.
Speaker 3: She's the sweetest, so she's in her fifties maybe early sixties,
Speaker 3: but she's a new grandparent, and her daughter comes in
Speaker 3: and her grandson comes in as well, and she comes
Speaker 3: in on Saturday mornings with her grandson because she takes
Speaker 3: the grandson every Friday night.
Speaker 2: So every Friday night, the parents have a night off
Speaker 2: where they can sleep or they could just watch whatever
Speaker 2: they want to watch, and the grandparents take the kid
Speaker 2: for one night of the week Friday night and then
Speaker 2: Saturday morning. That must be just the best. It's not
Speaker 2: like I know alone my kids. I love spending so
Speaker 2: much time with my kids, but like it's so stupid
Speaker 2: that I feel guilty about saying yes, I would like
Speaker 2: some alone time.
Speaker 1: I mean for all of our lives.
Speaker 2: It's like as a parent, as I get older, I
Speaker 2: just respect my parents even more. But like the idea
Speaker 2: that we are raised and we like for thirty how
Speaker 2: old am I thirty five? For thirty two years of
Speaker 2: my life, I didn't have kids for thirty two and
Speaker 2: a half years of my life. The majority of my time,
Speaker 2: my effort was put towards me selfishly, obviously, but that's
Speaker 2: just what we do, that's what humans do. And so
Speaker 2: the idea that now I have a kid and I
Speaker 2: devote so much of my effort and time to my child.
Speaker 1: Which is what I want to do.
Speaker 2: But also, you know what I want to do is
Speaker 2: I want to donate a minuscule amount of time just
Speaker 2: for me to play sports, or to work out, or
Speaker 2: to just like.
Speaker 1: Go hang out with my friends. And I'm not asked
Speaker 1: for much.
Speaker 2: Like honestly, if I got to like get together with
Speaker 2: my friends to play sports twice a month, I would
Speaker 2: be a static. During the summer, I play softball on Sundays,
Speaker 2: which is just the absolute best. But it's tough. Ashley
Speaker 2: is very supportive. She's I'm not trying to like diss Ashley.
Speaker 2: She's the best, but she's come around on softball.
Speaker 1: It's crazy that.
Speaker 2: Ashley's already halfway through the pregnancy. July's gonna be here
Speaker 2: before we know. It's March. You want to know something amazing.
Speaker 2: I was thinking about yesterday because the sun was going
Speaker 2: down and it was five point forty and it was
Speaker 2: still light out, and I was like, guess what, Jared
Speaker 2: talking to myself. In a week and a half, it's
Speaker 2: gonna be six forty and it's still gonna be light
Speaker 2: up because we change the clocks March tenth.
Speaker 1: I cannot wait. Oh, you can't wait till we change
Speaker 1: the clocks.
Speaker 2: It's just so much life is better when the sun
Speaker 2: goes down later.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: I don't understand why we keep doing this to ourselves.
Speaker 2: We need to for all the restaurant people out there,
Speaker 2: we need eighty six daylight saving time.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's affecting anything anymore. I was trying
Speaker 2: to look it up. I know people say it's for farming.
Speaker 2: I think it might still be, but it's also for
Speaker 2: like other things. I think I should really look this
Speaker 2: up before I started recording, But I don't think it
Speaker 2: affects anything anymore. Okay, technology has gotten to a point
Speaker 2: where we do not need daylight saving time. Let's just
Speaker 2: keep the sun out later in the day because it
Speaker 2: makes everybody happier. And you know what, sometimes we just
Speaker 2: need to do something else as society to make us happier.
Speaker 1: And that's okay.
Speaker 2: There is nothing wrong with passing a law because it
Speaker 2: makes people happy. Now, we shouldn't do that all the time, obviously,
Speaker 2: but every once in a while, I'd say two things
Speaker 2: come to mind. One, make the day after the super
Speaker 2: Bowl a national holiday.
Speaker 1: I think I've talked about it on this podcast before.
Speaker 2: Make the day after the super Bowl a national holiday.
Speaker 2: Why because it will make people happy and that's a
Speaker 2: good thing. And Secondly, make a law abolishing daylight saving time.
Speaker 1: You want to know why, Because it will just make
Speaker 1: people happier. Okay.
Speaker 2: I think we all understand that we are living in
Speaker 2: very angry and divisive times. So let's do something that
Speaker 2: we can all rally around and all just put a
Speaker 2: smile on our face. Be like, you know what, guys,
Speaker 2: this is for you, This is for everyone out there.
Speaker 2: Bye by daylight saving time. Sun's going down at seven
Speaker 2: year round love it. If I was running for president,
Speaker 2: I would run on that campaign, and you know what,
Speaker 2: I probably win. Obviously we'll talk about taxes and the
Speaker 2: economy and foreign affairs and the border. But you know what, guys,
Speaker 2: you know what Number one on my docket is getting
Speaker 2: rid of daylight savings time boom. President put me in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. Who my vice president would be? Hay
Speaker 2: Bon and Ben? Ben Haiggens is very presidential. I could
Speaker 2: see that. I'll be Ben's VP. You think he'd picked
Speaker 2: me Higgins and Habon h and h It's got a
Speaker 2: good ring to it. He was definitely the president. I'd
Speaker 2: be his VP. I think Kaitlin could be president just
Speaker 2: my popularity. She'd be a fascinating president. Ashley's birthday is
Speaker 2: coming up March sixth. Make sure you wish her a
Speaker 2: happy birthday.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the hell I'm gonna do. Try
Speaker 1: to get a babysitter, maybe go out to dinner.
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm just get out, Like I try to get
Speaker 2: her things to do for herself, you know, get her
Speaker 2: a massage, but she's always like I want you to come,
Speaker 2: and I'm like that's so sweet, But like I don't
Speaker 2: want to do it like I want you to enjoy.
Speaker 2: You know, every time for a Christmas or Birthday, I
Speaker 2: get things for her and her sister to do because
Speaker 2: she always wants to do things with her sister. But
Speaker 2: then just get annoyed because she's like, I want to
Speaker 2: do things with you. I'm like, we do so much together.
Speaker 2: It's so weird being married when you really think about it,
Speaker 2: this whole term of quality time, quality time, quality time. Oh,
Speaker 2: there's just so much time. I understand quality time.
Speaker 1: I get it. I get it.
Speaker 2: You need quality time, we need quality time. But we
Speaker 2: spend so much time together, you know. AnyWho just Grinding
Speaker 2: Grinding podcast. I got Audrey's. We had Caitlin there this
Speaker 2: past week.
Speaker 1: It was fun. She killed it. God, she was the best.
Speaker 2: She is the best, greatest bacheloret of all time. And
Speaker 2: my bias, yes, but it doesn't mean I'm wrong. She
Speaker 2: was awesome. She killed it. It was fun, so that
Speaker 2: was cool.
Speaker 1: And then.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm just gonna continue juggling. It's I'm an Yeah,
Speaker 2: she called myself the juggler.

Speaker 2: Anyway, Make sure you guys are obviously listening to the
Speaker 2: main podcast Suckers with Dean, myself and Kaitlin.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for all the wil wishes too
Speaker 1: when we.
Speaker 2: Announced the gender. Really do appreciate it. We really are excited.
Speaker 2: It'll be fun two boys. I mean, we're just building
Speaker 2: either a basketball team or a boy band, maybe both.
Speaker 1: We'll find out, but it will be fun.
Speaker 2: I'm very excited for when they're a little bit older,
Speaker 2: like five six, somewhere around that age where Dawson has
Speaker 2: games and it's like, all right, well, Dawson has a
Speaker 2: game over here at eight o'clock, and then the other
Speaker 2: one has it. I'm only calling the other one the
Speaker 2: other one because we truly don't have.
Speaker 1: A name yet.
Speaker 2: And then the other one has a game at nine o'clock,
Speaker 2: and then I got to bounce back to make sure.
Speaker 1: I pick up Dawson then go to this game. But
Speaker 1: I want to watch them both.
Speaker 2: But I'm coaching, because I obviously will be coaching my
Speaker 2: kids a little league, and it's gonna be a lot
Speaker 2: of fun.
Speaker 1: Very excited for those days.
Speaker 2: But until then, keep listening to the podcast, and I
Speaker 2: can't tell you how much I appreciate it. Once again,
Speaker 2: love you guys, Make sure you tune in next week.
Speaker 2: We're hopefully we suck just a little bit less
