She's 0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:51.839 got darker hair. 0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:54.360 Okay, she probably does. I mean you had a shot 0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:55.440 there actually. 0:00:55.080 --> 0:01:01.040 Like like, dang it all or opposite. All right, let's 0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:04.200 get into some listener questions. We're gonna talk kids. 0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:05.920 Yes, are there. 0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:08.800 Any sports you hope your kids never show interest in? 0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:09.920 Kaylee and Kentucky? 0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:10.679 Oh? 0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:15.160 Never. I mean I wouldn't hate it. I wouldn't hate 0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:16.200 it if they didn't like football. 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:21.000 Really, yeah, why because it just the most injuries just. 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:23.839 Because of the dangers of playing football. 0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:26.319 Like the head injury, d bad injury. 0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:29.679 Yeah, I mean really kind of just any injuries. Like 0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:33.240 there's there's a lot of older football players that you 0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:36.240 see now that can't even walk just because their hips 0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:38.360 are bad, their knees are bad. 0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:42.039 Like you just think that's like pro NFL players though, No, 0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:46.440 but even like just you know, collegiate players and not 0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:48.520 like you know, people that played for Alabama, people that 0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:52.800 played for like ball State, any college. 0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:55.640 Yeah, and even like high school if you play like 0:01:56.320 --> 0:02:00.360 high level high school football, bad injury because like ainger 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:02.400 for the rest of your life. So I would say, 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:05.800 just because of injuries, I wouldn't hate it if they 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:07.000 if any of them were just like I don't want 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:10.320 to play football, Okay, but I have two that really 0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:12.919 want to play football and that are playing football. I 0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:16.120 have one that's already playing football and he's not huge. 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:19.760 He's not big. He's really good, but he's not big, 0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:22.280 and I worry every single time, like he's going to 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:22.919 break something. 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:25.960 Do you feel like he's gonna want to play in college. 0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:29.080 If he's able to. Yeah, if he's like, if he 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:31.760 makes it to college, one hundred percent, he will play 0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:33.560 all the way through college. I don't play in the NFL, 0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:36.560 like if he's ever ever that good. He loves it 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:38.760 that much. And I thought that as soon as he 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:41.040 would play it, start playing it and get one big 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:44.160 hit or like get hit somewhere or some hit that 0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:47.560 knocks him out, like he would quit. Nope, he loved it. 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:48.880 He got it, he got nailed. 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:50.760 Oh he got like an adrenaline rush. 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:53.360 He got nailed, and he was like that was awesome. 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:56.240 Then he loves hitting like he just loves it all 0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:57.080 it's it's crazy. 0:02:57.280 --> 0:03:00.440 Oh that's funny, you got like adrenaline. 0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:03.400 I have two of those, and I have one that's 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:07.919 like he doesn't like he wants to play football and 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.480 he's not scared of getting hit, but he doesn't really 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:13.480 love the game that much. So I don't know if 0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:16.040 he'll ever play and it's not because he's scared of 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:18.160 being hit. I just don't think he'll ever play football 0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:20.880 because he's much better at basketball. He loves basketball a 0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:21.280 lot more. 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:22.000 Well, that's fair. 0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:24.280 At least you like basketball, then I do love basketball. 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:27.000 In your basketball coach for a while, yeah, same when 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:27.840 you basketball coached. 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:32.040 No another one. However, I might be going I haven't 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:33.680 told no one this. I might be going back in 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:37.440 an exclusive. Yeah, I might be going back in Because 0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:40.680 what happens in parent world is if you want to 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:44.119 if you want to create a team where like we've 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:46.000 played so much, we're at the point now where we've 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:48.600 played so much basketball that we can go anywhere in 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:51.240 the city and we recognize five or six players that 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:53.320 we know that either we've played with they've been on 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:56.080 our team, or they've we played against them, or they 0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:58.560 know my kids just because they played against them. And 0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:02.240 so it's the community of we know a bunch of 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:04.520 people that play basketball in town, and we live in 0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:07.400 a big city. And so if we want to create 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:10.920 a team, like you have to be the coach. And 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:14.040 so I have seen about six players that I would 0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:16.280 love to have on one team that are just all 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:19.440 really good at different things a big kid, a shooter, 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:23.160 a defensive player, and I've seen these and like, we're 0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:25.200 thinking it's best for our kid too to be on 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:27.680 a winning team. Yeah, so if we want that to happen, 0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:30.400 I might need to step out and be a coach again. 0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:31.480 You know this is so true. 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:34.719 I'm looking back and I've never asked my mom why, 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:38.159 but I would imagine it's something of the similar. 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:42.599 Reason. She started a competitive cheer. 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:45.680 Team when we were young, young, young, young, and we 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:49.240 had competed on extreme athletics, which was pretty well known 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:51.560 in like the Witchhaw area as a competitive cheer squad. 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:54.240 And because we were going to compete, this wasn't the 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:57.080 cheersquad at high school. Like basketball, the game a little 0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:59.839 bit different, the competitive you're going to competitions and you. 0:04:59.880 --> 0:05:02.400 Have a dull routine. Is that the one that goes 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:03.000 to Disney World? 0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:06.640 That one can there's different ones. I don't think we 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:08.119 did on that on that level. 0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:10.120 I can't remember. I was so young, like I, but 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:10.840 there are. 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:12.279 How young were you, Eddie? 0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:13.880 I couldn't have been more than five years old. I 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:16.719 was a baby doing stunts in the air. There are 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:21.200 photos of the Wichita State University cheer team. The guys 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:23.480 putting me up in the air and they'd throw me 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:26.120 in baskets, you know where they tossed you in the 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:29.159 air and I was just little, And there's videos and 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:30.000 photos of all of that. 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:33.680 That's cool, But something I don't know what happened. 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:35.280 If my mom was just like, I want like this 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:37.320 to be something, because we really wanted to pursue it. 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:41.479 We loved competitive cheerleading and tumbling gymnastics, and so my 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:44.360 mom started her own thing. We had a competitive called 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:47.520 Ice Competitive cheer squad for years and my mom. 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:49.520 Even like passed it down to somebody at some point. 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:52.240 It was wild and it started with some of the 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:54.120 Witchitawk State University people. 0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:54.800 That's cool. 0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:55.800 It was crazy. 0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:58.240 So your mom she was a cheerleader, No, I don't 0:05:58.240 --> 0:05:59.400 think so. 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:02.520 She just loved to choose a great coach, great leader. 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:04.520 And probably and it really is a thing too. If 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:07.120 you want what's best for your kid, you've got to 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:08.839 you've got to be the leader, Like you've got to 0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:10.640 start the team. You've got to do all the work. 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:12.920 You've got to recruit, you've got to get different people 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:15.800 that are gonna make your kids look better, you know, 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:18.040 and Whenever my kids have good players on their team, 0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:19.000 they look better. 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:22.320 Yeah, you know, and it sets them up for success 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:23.280 in different ways. 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:25.080 Because for years we were always just like, hey, you 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:27.000 got room in your team, You got room in your team. 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:28.800 And then they're like, yeah, sure, bring them in, and 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:33.160 they never really played even though they're so good. Whoever 0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:35.640 if they're because usually each team has about three coaches 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:38.720 and they're all dads, and so those three kids, no 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:41.520 matter how good they are, are going to play most 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:43.760 most of the game because the dads and you kind 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:46.200 of respect that because they're the ones taking all the 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:49.200 personal time into the team. They're doing the practices, they're 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:52.920 they're doing the rosters, they're communicating with the parents, all 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:54.560 that stuff, and it takes a lot of time. So 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:57.479 you understand, I get it. You're doing all the work, 0:06:57.520 --> 0:06:59.400 So why not your kid get all the playing time. Yeah, 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:01.360 but it's not good for the team because if they suck, 0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:01.800 they suck. 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:03.120 It just is what it is. 0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:04.520 I mean, we're dealing with that. Now. We have a 0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:07.640 coach where like he and this this is a good 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:10.600 basketball team, but his son, like is not the best 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:13.560 player on the team, and he starts and he probably 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:16.840 turns the ball over twenty times and they can't win games, 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:21.480 and it's like every parent is like, bro, like can 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:23.960 you not see this? And he may not. He may 0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:25.880 not see it because as a parent you don't see that. 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:27.640 Or he just wants him to keep getting better, so 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:28.520 he's like, you have to play more. 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:30.560 Well yeah, but dude, there's also all these other kids 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:32.559 that are trying to get better too, Like let's teach 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:34.920 all these kids. So yeah, it's frustrating, but it's so. 0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:39.160 Funny how that works. That's the thing that continues sports, yep, 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:39.880 forever and ever. 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:42.240 Okay, on the flip side of that, what is a 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:45.120 favorite skill of yours that you hope you pass on 0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:46.600 to your kids. We kind of touched on this a 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:49.320 little bit. We're talking part one of weird traits you passed. 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:50.880 Say, yeah, but we're not talking about that now. 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:53.360 The things you would like to pass on to them 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:54.840 From Chris in Massachusetts. 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:56.680 Chris, this is funny because my wife and I were 0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:58.840 just talking about this. We were at the dinner table 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:02.360 and like anytime I'm like, hey, we're gonna have steaks 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:06.440 steaks tonight. The boys like, yes, We're having Dad's steak 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:10.600 and my wife is like, hey, boys, you should acknowledge this, 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:15.000 like this is cool. Like your dad like is a 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:19.680 good cook and you should learn from him how to 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:22.240 cook these things so that you can be a good cook. 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:23.840 And then my wife loves because I mean we have 0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:27.680 four boys. Yeah, and my wife's her angle in conversation 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:30.480 all the time is like your girlfriends or your wives. 0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:33.520 It's always like, don't do that, Like, don't do that? 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:35.480 Do you really want your girlfriend or wives to see 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:39.560 you do?

Your wife will 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:43.040 appreciate that. 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:44.679 Have any of them started learning to cook you? 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:45.160 Yeah? 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:45.520 Okay. 0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:50.079 Our sixteen year old is really weirdly involved in cooking, 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:53.160 where like he's he got a cookbook for Christmas. I 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:57.160 guess it's like a viral TikTok oh there's so many 0:08:57.320 --> 0:08:59.800 kids or something or a YouTube guy his name is 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:03.000 like Nick Joe Giovanni, I don't know anyway, and so 0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:04.920 he watches him all the time. He got a cookbook. 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:07.280 He bought it, and so once a week he goes 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:11.200 to the grocery store and make something off the cookbook. 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:12.360 Like for the whole family or just for himself. 0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:14.400 Well, he tries to do the whole family, but that's 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:17.640 too much. So sometimes he'll just do like everyone can 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:18.160 try it. 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:19.880 Got it, you know, it's like a happetizer. 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:22.560 It's like noki, right, and like everyone can have like 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:25.720 five pieces of noki or something like that. And so 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:28.040 he loves it. He loves doing it, and I'll help 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:30.719 him with it, and mostly I'm just kind of there, like, bro, 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:34.040 speed it up, like we'll be here for two hours 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:36.000 if you don't hurry up, because he like he starts 0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:39.439 cutting the potatoes nice and slow and evenly I'm like, nah, 0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:41.520 let's go fast. 0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:45.120 He's got to watch some of those cooking competitions, just like, yes, 0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:45.840 this is fast. 0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:49.360 You got five minutes because he's very slow and just 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:52.520 delicate and precise. Yeah, and it's like, man, you gotta 0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:55.080 and even like just flipping like a burger. He like 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:57.200 don't want to get the oil on me or whatever. 0:09:57.320 --> 0:09:59.160 It's like they're just get in there, like get the 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:00.920 spatula in there and whip it. Let's go. 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:02.240 That's so funny. 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:04.880 So yeah, I would say cooking and because my dad 0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:08.119 passed that on to me. Yeah, he was an awesome person. 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:09.360 That is a great trait to have. 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:12.280 It's not one that is easily come by either. It's 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:15.079 you kind of have to really teach yourself that skill. 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:16.600 So great one to pass down. 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:19.800 And like my wife said, your girlfriend's gonna love it. 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:21.320 But yeah, they're all going to be a catch because 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:23.160 they know how to cook. You know how many times 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:24.360 I meet it, God and I'll be like, you don't 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:25.800 know how to cook. I'm like, I'm not making new 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:27.000 sandwiches for the rest of your life. 0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:28.560 Yeah, your boyfriend not to cook? 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:34.360 Yeah, in uh, vegetables and heat grills and stuff too. 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:36.920 So yeah, he does have that side. He's learning a 0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:38.880 lot from my vegetarianism. 0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:41.040 It's an adjustment, yes. 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:43.319 Which I'm super lucky is his mom, I guess is 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:45.120 actually vegan, so that helps. 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:48.600 He's kind of used to eating vegetarian. So when I 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:50.480 do weird things, it's like, no, this tastes great. I'll 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:53.679 eat anything that's awesome. Yeah. But and then yeah, good 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:54.360 at dishes too. 0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:58.760 That's another time my kids. I do the dishes. 0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:00.400 Every time I see him do the dish on Yes, 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:03.400 he does it often. Yes. 0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:06.959 Wendy from Richmond wants to know who helps your wife 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:09.120 when you're at home when you are gone and GE's 0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:09.480 at home. 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:12.720 Oh, Wendy, that's a good question. No one, no one. 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:16.319 It's it's hard. It's hard. Like you know, other parents 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:19.600 will help with pick up, like will you pick so 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:22.200 and so up and drop them off? And they'll do 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:25.160 that kind of thing usually, like when there's games to 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:27.720 go to, which I hate missing their games. But if 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:31.440 there are games and we're on the road, somebody just 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:34.520 has to miss a game. The kids, one of the 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:35.400 kids has to miss a game. 0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:36.280 Do they get mad about it? 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:36.400 Like? 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:37.160 Do the kids know? 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:41.480 Usually it's the little one, the five year old. Okay, 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:44.280 he plays baseball. Usually his is the one that has 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:47.400 to get canceled. Yeah, but he doesn't know, like literally, 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:49.520 if you tell him there's no game this weekend, he'd 0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:50.679 be like cool, Okay, no game. 0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:53.079 He's not at the point where he's remembering yet. No, 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:54.040 you're lucky. 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:54.760 Yeah. 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:55.959 Maybe two more years of. 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:58.080 That, yeah maybe, and then there's gonna be a fight. 0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:00.920 Yeah, Okay, all right, gonna take a quick break. And 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:06.040 I got more questions for you. Kelly and Patty both 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:08.559 asked how your wife's art selling is going. 0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:12.160 She sold a piece? Did she sold a piece. Yeah, 0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:15.480 I mean it's kind of So she's been working on 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:19.800 this for about year and a half, close to year 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:20.400 and a half. 0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:22.600 When you say working on it meaning putting together her 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:24.400 business or painting the different eyes. 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:26.920 Just painting. What she wanted to do was just paint 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:30.280 first and she'd finish a painting, put it aside, do 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:32.960 another painting, put it aside, and then once she had 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:36.640 ten which I guess an artist world, you have a collection. Okay, 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:38.839 I think I don't know. That's what she says. I 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:40.040 know nothing about that. 0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:42.000 I trust you both because I have no idea. 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:45.400 Rather than that looks cool. That's my expertise in art. 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:48.200 That looks cool. Other than that, I don't know anything. 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:50.960 And so apparently she wanted to have a collection, and 0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:53.520 so once that collection was done, then you can put 0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:56.520 it up for sale and then go from there. But 0:12:57.280 --> 0:13:00.960 what she didn't realize is that there's kind of a 0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:03.280 price that goes along with it, and it's you know, 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:05.520 you set it like a dollar a square foot or whatever, 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:08.679 like seventy cents of square foot whatever. But all of 0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:12.760 the pieces that she made were humongous. They're huge, they're 0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:15.280 they're on the size of the kitchen table, like they're 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:20.520 so big, and so everything immediately is like three thousand dollars. 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:23.240 Two thousand dollars is maybe the cheapest, and so like 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:26.719 that's not easy to sell, and so I so what 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:30.120 she didn't realize was like, oh, man, like once I 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:33.280 start selling these, like I should have made smaller ones 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:36.400 so people can buy or prints. And I guess in 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:39.760 the art world again, like you can make prints of 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:43.200 your art and sell those for much much cheaper because 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:44.200 it's not the original art. 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:44.920 Got it. 0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:47.600 However, See this is all the stuff that I never knew. 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:49.600 And she tried, she tried to explain this to me. 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:52.000 But if you do that, you have to let the 0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:54.600 owner of the original art and know that you were 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:58.240 going to do prints before you sell it. Because people 0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:01.679 like original art. It's almost like collecting, almost like in 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:03.319 Bobby's world of memorabilia. 0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:04.800 You want to be the only one that has it. 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:08.439 If you have the Tom Brady signed helmet, the one 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:12.560 of one that's worth so much, and like you love 0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:15.120 having that because it's one of one. But if there 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:19.840 was two hundred fake ones just like that that they sold, 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:21.920 that now makes your one of one kind of like 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:25.960 not that special. Because it's been printed out a lot. Yeah, 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:28.320 so there's kind of that that she's kind of struggling with. 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:30.160 She's like, I don't know, should I do prints of 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:34.600 mine or I don't know? So she finally sold one. 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:37.600 She was so excited that she sold one. But now 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:39.400 she's like, I've got to make smaller ones so that 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:41.160 more people can afford these. 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:43.200 Well, maybe that's the trade off instead of doing prints, 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:46.160 she just makes some smaller ones are more affordable for 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:46.760 other people. 0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:48.200 But also she's put. 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:49.680 In a lot of time and effort on those pieces, 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:52.160 and that's also a reason why art is so expensive, right, 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:53.960 And the ones that I don't understand where they wrote 0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:58.120 like stop in black paint and it goes for fifty 0:14:58.200 --> 0:14:58.840 million dollars. 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:02.560 No I'm missing I know, but there are some people 0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:04.320 in the world that are like, oh, I need that. 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:06.880 I need that in my living room. Like how many 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:09.640 times do I say stop? It means so much? It 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:13.240 means and this, it means so much to me. I 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:19.000 need it so cool. And she's also doing requests like 0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:23.920 I guess it's called oh, there's a word for it, 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:27.360 I don't know, commission commission work. So like you can 0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:30.840 message her and say I have a room that's kind 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:34.000 of like greenish and I want something with like green shades. 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:37.160 Then she can personally make something for for you. And 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:39.560 she's doing that right now for somebody, for somebody. 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:41.200 So she sold a piece of her work and she's 0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:42.480 working on a commission work. 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:45.560 Correct amazing, And she's also working on smaller ones that'll 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:47.840 probably be up for sale, I would say in the 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:51.640 next few weeks. Yeah, and two of them like are awesome. 0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:52.280 I love it. 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:54.160 Have you been on any of them? Like, Hey, no, 0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:55.720 we're keeping that. Let's staying here. 0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:58.840 There's one that she wants to keep, and she like, 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:01.560 I really really want to keep it because there's kind 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:04.560 of like there's kind of a hidden thing in it 0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:07.560 where like she did it and she's like, this is cool, 0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:08.880 Like I hid. 0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:10.880 This a little Easter egg in there. 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:13.840 Yeah, there are like Easter eggs in the painting. And 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:15.200 she's like, I kind of want to keep it for 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:17.560 that reason because it means this to me. But I 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:18.800 don't know, I don't know if she's gonna end up 0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:20.400 keeping it out at. 0:16:20.320 --> 0:16:22.880 The right price. You know, she's part with it. 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:24.880 Yeah, but I'm so proud of her. She's she's doing 0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:27.960 great and like it's it's a huge deal for me too, 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:30.360 because she's really been working on art for so long 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:32.360 since I met her. She's always done art, but she 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:35.880 never has been able to do art in this way 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:39.080 because if we have four kids, like but she also 0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:40.960 is like, if I'm going to do this, I'm going 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:43.640 to make the time I have that those hours while 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:45.800
