WEBVTT - #308 - Bobby and His Groomsmen Pre-Wedding Talk....An Hour Before He Got Married!

0:00:02.480 --> 0:00:07.600
<v Speaker 1>All right, So right now, we are an hour away

0:00:07.600 --> 0:00:10.520
<v Speaker 1>from my actual wedding ceremony, and we did not plan

0:00:10.600 --> 0:00:13.040
<v Speaker 1>to do a podcast, but we have an hour to

0:00:13.119 --> 0:00:15.640
<v Speaker 1>just sit and we're actually in the area where the

0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:18.040
<v Speaker 1>podcast is. We're all dressed very nicely. I do add

0:00:19.079 --> 0:00:21.080
<v Speaker 1>it's the best we've ever looked in the podcast as

0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:22.680
<v Speaker 1>a group. And here it was in here. It's the

0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:26.720
<v Speaker 1>entire group of Grosman, Mike, d Eddie Arkansas, keith A,

0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:31.520
<v Speaker 1>mod Andy and Courtney Um all obviously friends from all

0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:35.000
<v Speaker 1>different years and and you know parts of my life.

0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:37.720
<v Speaker 1>Eddie is my best man. So here we are our out, Like,

0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:40.360
<v Speaker 1>what what's happening in your mind right now? Before I

0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:42.720
<v Speaker 1>tell you what's happening to mine? Um, I just see

0:00:42.720 --> 0:00:44.960
<v Speaker 1>a lot of scrambling, a lot of scrambling outside, people

0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:48.640
<v Speaker 1>moving around in different directions. Uh, you were writing your vows.

0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:51.120
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't writing them. Well, I have known them. I

0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:54.960
<v Speaker 1>shut your mouth. I have memorized mine. But here's the problem.

0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Last night at our rehearsal, as I was just saying

0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:00.240
<v Speaker 1>thank you to people, I got choked out up. I

0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:02.600
<v Speaker 1>wasn't even anything emotional. I was just going, hey, thank you,

0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:04.880
<v Speaker 1>and I went there and I was like, oh my god,

0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:07.240
<v Speaker 1>I need to have these written down because if I

0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:10.319
<v Speaker 1>get emotional, I won't be able to remember what I

0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:15.200
<v Speaker 1>have planned to say. And so I believe in and

0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:17.320
<v Speaker 1>I think probably and he can speak to this about sports,

0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:19.000
<v Speaker 1>but I believe and putting myself in the environment of

0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:20.520
<v Speaker 1>where I'm about to perform. So I used to walk

0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:22.240
<v Speaker 1>in the backyard and go stand at the tree and

0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:23.560
<v Speaker 1>be like, all right, this is what I'm gonna see.

0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:24.800
<v Speaker 1>When she wasn't here, you did this like in the

0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:26.600
<v Speaker 1>last last month, the last couple of weeks. I would

0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:29.039
<v Speaker 1>go stand where we're going to have the ceremony, trying

0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:32.120
<v Speaker 1>to envision myself at happening so I could be in control.

0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:36.120
<v Speaker 1>And it's not gonna happen. And so I sat in

0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:40.280
<v Speaker 1>here and I typed them out right, and so that's

0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:42.000
<v Speaker 1>what I did. It took me like fifteen minutes to

0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:43.880
<v Speaker 1>type them all out. And I do think that's unfair

0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:46.600
<v Speaker 1>of you. So you're now and then and welcome to

0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:49.280
<v Speaker 1>the best man. And then then you came back and

0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:53.040
<v Speaker 1>then you said, uh, hey, is it shorter of than

0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:58.280
<v Speaker 1>ten minutes? Longer tally long, really long? But yes, I

0:01:58.280 --> 0:01:59.800
<v Speaker 1>was gonna say by the way, we're talking about like

0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Kayla was trying to get like. He's like, how on

0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:06.400
<v Speaker 1>your vows? She's like one minute, two minutes, and I

0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:08.600
<v Speaker 1>didn't want to interject, but I'm like, I don't know

0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:12.200
<v Speaker 1>how long they are, but Vegas has the over. I'm

0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:14.639
<v Speaker 1>just telling you that right now. We were driving back

0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:16.920
<v Speaker 1>from the rehearsal and Caitlin was like, okay, but at

0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:19.200
<v Speaker 1>least tell me. Are they like I promise you? Or

0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:20.919
<v Speaker 1>is it like a story? And I'm like, why don't

0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:22.200
<v Speaker 1>you just let me do the vowels and we'll just

0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:24.040
<v Speaker 1>see you up there? Okay, you don't have to tell anything?

0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:26.040
<v Speaker 1>But how long are they? She's like, what would you say? Though?

0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:30.960
<v Speaker 1>You like? Best estimate? Um, Keith, here we are, You're here,

0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:37.840
<v Speaker 1>you're you're you're you know, dressed up looking good, fancy suit. Um,

0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:40.440
<v Speaker 1>how are you feeling an hour out about me finally

0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:42.160
<v Speaker 1>getting married? Did you ever think you'd see it happened?

0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:49.400
<v Speaker 1>I did not? And why not? Too much work and

0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:53.000
<v Speaker 1>too much play and not enough Bobby serious time? But

0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:55.919
<v Speaker 1>I was wrong? How about that? And what do you

0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:59.240
<v Speaker 1>think about Kitlin? Caitlin's wonderful, she's great. You couldn't do

0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:02.440
<v Speaker 1>better man saying you know, she's as sweetie. Last night

0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:05.840
<v Speaker 1>when people were giving speeches, Amad got up and I

0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:07.200
<v Speaker 1>had had a couple of notes, and then he kind

0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:10.000
<v Speaker 1>of threw the notes away, and then you just decided

0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:13.839
<v Speaker 1>to go from from your heart? Um, like, how much?

0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:15.800
<v Speaker 1>Like what did you want to say? I'm always curious

0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:17.800
<v Speaker 1>about people want to say, like what was your intention

0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:19.840
<v Speaker 1>when you got up to talk? Because I had asked you,

0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:21.200
<v Speaker 1>I said, hey, would you mind saying a few things,

0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:23.239
<v Speaker 1>because we didn't want everybody feeling they had to stand

0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:24.919
<v Speaker 1>up and say something that's always awkward. Who were looking

0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:26.720
<v Speaker 1>around going all right, do I stand up? So we

0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:29.040
<v Speaker 1>had asked you people specifically, and you and I have

0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:32.600
<v Speaker 1>been friends as long as almost anybody in this room.

0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:35.000
<v Speaker 1>What was your intention with what you had to say? Well?

0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:37.560
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to kind of tell the story about how

0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:39.800
<v Speaker 1>me and Caitlin spent some time and how I got

0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:41.680
<v Speaker 1>to know where and how great she was. And then

0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:45.760
<v Speaker 1>I also wanted to illuminate that you were just ready

0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:50.200
<v Speaker 1>to be giving so much love to somebody, And I

0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:52.960
<v Speaker 1>wanted to kind of tied all up in a biblical

0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:56.400
<v Speaker 1>sense as well. So I think I kind of got

0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:58.080
<v Speaker 1>nervous a little bit, but like you said, I threw

0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:00.080
<v Speaker 1>the way of the notes and so from the I

0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:02.040
<v Speaker 1>just went from the heart. Everybody said it was cool.

0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:04.240
<v Speaker 1>I saw you out there laughing a couple of times.

0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:08.000
<v Speaker 1>That made me comfortable. Kitlyn came up, she was like,

0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:10.360
<v Speaker 1>that's so sweet. I was like, I mean that's the truth.

0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:12.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's where we went through. That's what that's

0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:14.840
<v Speaker 1>what I learned from or not learned from you, but

0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:16.560
<v Speaker 1>that's what I saw from you when I first met you.

0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:19.640
<v Speaker 1>And that was it. And I really had to come

0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:22.000
<v Speaker 1>through that speech last night because he missed rehearsal completely

0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:26.200
<v Speaker 1>the wedding. I called him. We were all drewary to

0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:28.320
<v Speaker 1>go go through. What do the actual rehearsal of the wedding?

0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:30.320
<v Speaker 1>This goes here? And when I call him, Eddie called

0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:32.600
<v Speaker 1>him me that n answer. I called him an answer.

0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:34.600
<v Speaker 1>I call him again, he goes yo yo, that was up.

0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:38.120
<v Speaker 1>I said, hey, where are you going? I'm chilling And

0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:41.120
<v Speaker 1>I was like, what do you mean you're chilling? It's

0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:43.279
<v Speaker 1>like I'm at the hotel of my underwear. I'm like,

0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:46.719
<v Speaker 1>we're going on all right, right, right? But to be fair,

0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:51.800
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't given any time that the rehearsal dinner was

0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:56.560
<v Speaker 1>the different my house like two hours prior to that

0:04:57.320 --> 0:05:00.400
<v Speaker 1>earlier in the day about the rehearsal dinner, pairing through

0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:05.360
<v Speaker 1>the rehearsal itself. Right. But the funny thing is that

0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:08.599
<v Speaker 1>when I was when I came here, after I was

0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:11.400
<v Speaker 1>here late, I get a text from you with a

0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:14.680
<v Speaker 1>card saying the rehearsal is at five, but I'm sitting

0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:18.680
<v Speaker 1>right by you. So then Caitlin told my wife, Oh,

0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:21.280
<v Speaker 1>don't worry about it, because a lot of people on

0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:23.920
<v Speaker 1>the Arkansas side didn't get the information that they need

0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:27.760
<v Speaker 1>to get. I think I'm making up stories last night.

0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:31.200
<v Speaker 1>We're driving back said uh. And Andy would not sit

0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:34.320
<v Speaker 1>in the front seat, even though he's six ft four

0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:36.640
<v Speaker 1>or five or eight whatever he is. He demanded to

0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:38.480
<v Speaker 1>sit in the back seat like Caitlyn sit up front.

0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:40.280
<v Speaker 1>And as he's back there, he goes, Hey, I just

0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:42.440
<v Speaker 1>want to be honest with you, guys. Um, I was

0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:45.600
<v Speaker 1>never worried about Bobby professionally. He's like, I don't don't

0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:47.880
<v Speaker 1>worry about that. He goes seriously like I was really

0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:51.640
<v Speaker 1>worried about him as a human and as funny as

0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:58.559
<v Speaker 1>that is like, I think that was an extremely um,

0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:02.919
<v Speaker 1>authentic way to describe how you have felt about me

0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:06.800
<v Speaker 1>and even inside of our friendship the last ten years. Yeah,

0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:08.840
<v Speaker 1>and we don't I don't know that we've ever had

0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:12.080
<v Speaker 1>the friendship where we need each other's attention all the

0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:16.400
<v Speaker 1>all the time. Um. And so honestly, like how far

0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:20.120
<v Speaker 1>you've you all have gotten and team effort largely in

0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:23.520
<v Speaker 1>this room with the people that that work with you. Um,

0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:26.600
<v Speaker 1>but that was there. How psychotic you are about you

0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:27.920
<v Speaker 1>have to do this and you have to do that,

0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:30.400
<v Speaker 1>and you don't you say yes before you think it through.

0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:34.680
<v Speaker 1>That was always gonna work on on some level. Um,

0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:38.560
<v Speaker 1>you're kind of the opposite when it comes to relationships.

0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:40.440
<v Speaker 1>You need a little bit of space, you need a

0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:43.600
<v Speaker 1>little time to think, You need U, X, Y and Z.

0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:46.400
<v Speaker 1>So for me, UM, that the happiest part about this

0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:49.800
<v Speaker 1>for me is you actually committing to like being a

0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:53.120
<v Speaker 1>whole person and not like just kind of driving traffic

0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:56.560
<v Speaker 1>through uh, the professional side of yourself and letting that

0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:59.600
<v Speaker 1>be your identity. I think having your identity outside of

0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:01.680
<v Speaker 1>that without of getting too deep is gonna be a

0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:03.960
<v Speaker 1>great thing for you When it makes me happy, kind

0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:06.280
<v Speaker 1>of looking in from the outside. I have a lot

0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:09.680
<v Speaker 1>less worry because of this. Well and two, I mean

0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:13.440
<v Speaker 1>I saw in your early stages, because right after you

0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:17.440
<v Speaker 1>and Brooke got married, you and I became friends, and

0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:20.560
<v Speaker 1>I saw you change into a family like that guy

0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:22.880
<v Speaker 1>that I didn't think I would ever see, you know,

0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:27.520
<v Speaker 1>and you know, to see you go hey like my kids,

0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:30.040
<v Speaker 1>that's the most important thing. That wasn't who you were

0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:33.400
<v Speaker 1>when you and I met at all. And you know,

0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:34.960
<v Speaker 1>I obviously look up to you in a lot of ways.

0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:37.520
<v Speaker 1>And you know, we talked about again, we don't need

0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:39.840
<v Speaker 1>each other's attention, so we don't say good morning and text.

0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:42.560
<v Speaker 1>But you know, for for you to say that last

0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:45.000
<v Speaker 1>night was hilarious but also the most true thing anyone

0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:47.720
<v Speaker 1>had said the entire night. And I give you too

0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:50.080
<v Speaker 1>much craps. So I actually had to qualify to Caitlin, Like, no,

0:07:50.160 --> 0:08:00.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm actually being serious right now, Like I was really worried. Well,

0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:05.040
<v Speaker 1>my like first week of college, I wore my high

0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:08.880
<v Speaker 1>school letterman jacket from playing football into a communications class

0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:10.320
<v Speaker 1>and it was cold. It's the only code I had.

0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:13.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's no secret. I've only said it ten

0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:15.160
<v Speaker 1>million times, and I know that where this is going.

0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:17.680
<v Speaker 1>You know that It's not like I had a bunch

0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:19.400
<v Speaker 1>of coats. We didn't have a lot of money. And

0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:21.119
<v Speaker 1>so I wore my one coat that I had to school.

0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:23.800
<v Speaker 1>And this one, this this prepu looking kid who played

0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:26.680
<v Speaker 1>quarterback on the football team was like, hey, guy, well

0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:28.560
<v Speaker 1>we don't where a high school jack as to college.

0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:30.560
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, what he goes, you don't where

0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:32.280
<v Speaker 1>your high school jacket of college. People don't think you're

0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:33.520
<v Speaker 1>a lose their. I was like, it's the only code

0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:35.160
<v Speaker 1>I had. And so the next day I didn't wear

0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:36.400
<v Speaker 1>a coade at all, and I was really cold the

0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:39.000
<v Speaker 1>all day long because I didn't have another coat. Well

0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:42.760
<v Speaker 1>that got that got it was coordinay. And so that's

0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:46.640
<v Speaker 1>how Courtney and I met. And you know, Courtney, him

0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:49.800
<v Speaker 1>and I were stuck at the hip from freshman year

0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:52.480
<v Speaker 1>of college and until a couple of years after. And

0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:54.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, I saw Courtney meet his wife and get

0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:57.920
<v Speaker 1>married and have kids, and you know, um, for you

0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:00.679
<v Speaker 1>to be here today and heck, I'm forty one now,

0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:03.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's not it's not like the nineteen Hey

<v Speaker 1>we are, You're forty one with a couple of kids,

0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:09.360
<v Speaker 1>and like what what what do you tell me? At

0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:11.880
<v Speaker 1>this point, I'm about to do this today five minutes

0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:15.120
<v Speaker 1>from now, Like, what what do you tell me? There's

0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:17.440
<v Speaker 1>no way to get ready for this. There's there's nothing

0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:21.680
<v Speaker 1>that I can possibly say, I think, to completely prepare

0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:24.600
<v Speaker 1>you for what's about to happen. Um. It's kind of

0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:27.840
<v Speaker 1>funny you bring that up, though, because I've probably spent

0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:34.480
<v Speaker 1>the entire day reminiscing about me and you, and I'm

0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:37.160
<v Speaker 1>not trying to you too must about it, but oh

0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:43.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm happy before you man really to say, you know,

0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:46.959
<v Speaker 1>Keithan talking about whether or not would with this happen

0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:50.319
<v Speaker 1>for you? I didn't think so I really didn't know, Carrie.

0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:54.080
<v Speaker 1>I've been talking about today and all day and sorry

0:09:54.120 --> 0:10:00.720
<v Speaker 1>about that. Um actually wide a speech. I didn't know,

0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:02.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, if we're going through it or not, but

0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:14.280
<v Speaker 1>um I did, UM just thinking about um gonna get together. UM.

0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:16.760
<v Speaker 1>It's so weird because you know, you're not really aren't

0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:20.960
<v Speaker 1>this emotional? Right, Like we don't really show our emotions. Um,

0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:26.960
<v Speaker 1>we're gotting tough guys and things like this, these big

0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:31.679
<v Speaker 1>events right like this, it kind of um, it brings

0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:34.960
<v Speaker 1>it out at times, right, And I guess I'm just

0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:38.560
<v Speaker 1>having that this moment right now. But I thought about

0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:45.640
<v Speaker 1>probably three times in our lives that you've really shown

0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:51.360
<v Speaker 1>me emotion. And the first time I was thinking about

0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:54.360
<v Speaker 1>with this when uh, you got hired on at Kiss

0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:59.280
<v Speaker 1>that film and um, you were going to leave the

0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:02.640
<v Speaker 1>queue go to Austin and there was this huge ice

0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:04.640
<v Speaker 1>storm at that time. I don't know if if anyone

0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:08.080
<v Speaker 1>remembers it, even Austin saw ice. I think that year

0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:13.640
<v Speaker 1>and Bobby needed someone to help him move from Arkansas

0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:17.080
<v Speaker 1>at Austin and he asked me to do it. It's

0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:19.960
<v Speaker 1>and I'm just like, there's Bobby, it's impossible, there's no

0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:23.640
<v Speaker 1>way we're going to get this done right. But he

0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:26.599
<v Speaker 1>gives me this look. And it's really hard for me

0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:30.440
<v Speaker 1>to articulate the look that he gave me. But I guess,

0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:33.080
<v Speaker 1>if you know, having kids now, the way I would

0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:36.080
<v Speaker 1>say that look would would be someone that you know,

0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:39.040
<v Speaker 1>like your kid that first Christmas morning when Christmas is

0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:43.200
<v Speaker 1>real to him, you know, and it's just, you know,

0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:46.640
<v Speaker 1>there's there's nothing that they want more, right, And he

0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:51.319
<v Speaker 1>gave me that look and I couldn't tell him, no, Yeah,

0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:53.600
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know, how are we gonna get there, but

0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:58.320
<v Speaker 1>as dad, if we can borry his trailer. I told

0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:02.560
<v Speaker 1>him it was for and you know, he's like, all right, man,

0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:04.600
<v Speaker 1>you know I know how much of a friend he

0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:10.319
<v Speaker 1>is to you. That's what we're gonna do this And uh,

0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:13.400
<v Speaker 1>that drive is like a seven hour drive. It took

0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:16.640
<v Speaker 1>us twenty one hours to get there, and we didn't sleep.

0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:25.440
<v Speaker 1>And when um, the relevance of this story is when whenever, um,

0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:27.439
<v Speaker 1>you and Kaylen come to visit me and Okay, see

0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:31.800
<v Speaker 1>uh and you know I'm meeting him for the first time.

0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:37.480
<v Speaker 1>You had that look. Man, you had that look. And

0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:40.079
<v Speaker 1>and when y'all left, you know, immediately text you because

0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:45.319
<v Speaker 1>kind of like what Andy was saying, you know, I'm

0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:48.360
<v Speaker 1>our relationship. I know, I know professional you are, but

0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:50.960
<v Speaker 1>knowing relationships because your life has been tough, you know,

0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:55.679
<v Speaker 1>and I know that you would overthink it or maybe

0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:58.280
<v Speaker 1>even think that you don't deserve it, you know, And

0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:00.160
<v Speaker 1>so I wanted to I just text you as I

0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:03.720
<v Speaker 1>want you to know that you do deserve it, okay,

0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:06.400
<v Speaker 1>and I'll want you to know that you go as

0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:09.160
<v Speaker 1>I've support this and I think you deserve it, and

0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:16.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm happy for you. I'm sorry we've just uh friends

0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:21.600
<v Speaker 1>for over twenty years now, and I know we don't

0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:23.680
<v Speaker 1>talk as much, you know, because our lives, you know,

0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:26.439
<v Speaker 1>me having kids and I'm and I'm in Houston now,

0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:30.480
<v Speaker 1>and it's you know, things are different. It's not like

0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:34.360
<v Speaker 1>the same. But you know what, when we get together,

0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:42.240
<v Speaker 1>you're my friend or your brother, it's like, IM meanly

0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:48.600
<v Speaker 1>go back to that place with you. No, maybe because

0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:51.280
<v Speaker 1>these tears have already fallen, they won't fall later. That's

0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:54.040
<v Speaker 1>the goal, right, Maybe the seals already been broken. I

0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:56.160
<v Speaker 1>mean maybe, And I had no ideas just gonna happen.

0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:57.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, as soon as you come to me, you

0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:00.280
<v Speaker 1>and you brought those stories like it just it just

0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:03.280
<v Speaker 1>overwhelmed me, you know, and I wasn't expecting it. You know.

0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:05.080
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of like what you're talking about last night.

0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:10.200
<v Speaker 1>You're like, you know, probably every five years, right, and

0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:12.319
<v Speaker 1>and man, we've we've shared so much, you know, like

0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:17.520
<v Speaker 1>so many first first relationships, first breakups. I mean we've

0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:20.880
<v Speaker 1>had you know, there were so many times you know,

0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:25.200
<v Speaker 1>like I remember, it's just us you were just talking

0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:28.560
<v Speaker 1>about just sitting up just talking about hardships or goals

0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:32.320
<v Speaker 1>or whatever we want life, you know, and um, it

0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:34.880
<v Speaker 1>was always great having someone, you know, a friend like

0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:37.240
<v Speaker 1>you that we could talk about things like that, you

0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:41.520

<v Speaker 1>twenty three years now, friendship. I mean, it's and I

0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:53.400
<v Speaker 1>know that, you know, if I was having some kind

0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:55.360
<v Speaker 1>of hardship tomorrow, I could call you about the blue

0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:58.280
<v Speaker 1>even if we hadn't sweeen each other in years, and

0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:01.200
<v Speaker 1>you would talk. You know, you don't no matter how

0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:03.440
<v Speaker 1>long you need, you know that we need to talk

0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:08.200
<v Speaker 1>to each other. You do it, you know. And dude,

0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:11.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you seem more I can say, you know,

0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:17.120
<v Speaker 1>no idea what's gonna happen, But I appreciate that. Man. Well,

0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:20.600
<v Speaker 1>Mike d who's producing it and who was probably with

0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:22.680
<v Speaker 1>me more than anybody else except for Caitlin right now,

0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:24.240
<v Speaker 1>who by the way, we're in this room. And I

0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:27.040
<v Speaker 1>said Mike, I said, hey, Mike had a girlfriend and

0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:30.160
<v Speaker 1>at the time, and I had a girlfriend at the time,

0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:33.200
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, I'm gonna beat you. I'm gonna

0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:35.760
<v Speaker 1>propose on Saturday or a week from Saturday. And he goes,

0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:38.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm proposing this Saturday and I was like, you son

0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:40.480
<v Speaker 1>of a gun. We did. It was right here we

0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:44.920
<v Speaker 1>talked about he jailed me by a week. Um, Mike,

0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:48.040
<v Speaker 1>you are the newest kind of member of this very

0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:52.360
<v Speaker 1>close brotherhood. You know that that that is all of us,

0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:55.400
<v Speaker 1>and you know the same. I guess the one common

0:15:55.400 --> 0:15:59.640
<v Speaker 1>theme is that I'm not the best at being that communicative.

0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:01.760
<v Speaker 1>But luckily for me, you don't talk much either. I

0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:04.520
<v Speaker 1>think that's why we get along so well. Um, but

0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:10.160
<v Speaker 1>I just appreciate you, know, your ability one to just

0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:12.800
<v Speaker 1>put up with me, but also to just to always

0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:16.120
<v Speaker 1>be there, like if there is one constant person that

0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:19.880
<v Speaker 1>is there all the time, regardless if it's a text

0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:23.280
<v Speaker 1>or phone or work or like, it's always you, and

0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:51.639
<v Speaker 1>wedding is where you leave in a car and you

0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:53.879
<v Speaker 1>drive away. Nobody wishes you could buy, and they're sparklers

0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:57.120
<v Speaker 1>and stuff. What I had pitched to Caitlin was that

0:17:57.160 --> 0:17:59.320
<v Speaker 1>we her and I have sparklers and everybody else leaves

0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:03.080
<v Speaker 1>and then we just stay. She would have been the

0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:07.240
<v Speaker 1>most on brand. She didn't accept. After that was my goal.

0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:10.160
<v Speaker 1>We said everybody else away, well even last night quickly

0:18:10.200 --> 0:18:13.080
<v Speaker 1>to last night, I mean truly Bobby fashion, Like it

0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:15.159
<v Speaker 1>was nine o'clock, like all right, you don't have to go,

0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:18.359
<v Speaker 1>but you can't stay. Honestly, God that we saw like

0:18:18.359 --> 0:18:20.119
<v Speaker 1>dirty minutes left in that place. But I was like,

0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:22.000
<v Speaker 1>we gotta go on the start getting charged more so

0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:24.879
<v Speaker 1>we got to get out of here. So I ran everybody, Okay,

0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:28.879
<v Speaker 1>I love you guys. I like to say real al right, right,

0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:33.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean you've been like a brother. No, but I

0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:36.280
<v Speaker 1>would like to say, real quick, let the emotions come tonight.

0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Don't try to not let them or block them. Let

0:18:39.880 --> 0:18:42.680
<v Speaker 1>them all come, feel them all, accept them all, and

0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:46.440
<v Speaker 1>show Caitlin how much you really feel and show yourself.

0:18:46.680 --> 0:18:49.360
<v Speaker 1>Let it all out, man, accept it be there. Not

0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:51.399
<v Speaker 1>as much as I did, because be hard to get

0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:54.560
<v Speaker 1>the words out. Okay. So and as always, this was

0:18:54.560 --> 0:18:59.760
<v Speaker 1>brought to you by Draft Kings. All right, there we go.
