Speaker 3: I think I remember some shout outs. Okay, the shoutouts
Speaker 3: are cool. I like those.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they make you feel good.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, because a lot of things are rough lately,
Speaker 4: so shout out. Start out with some good things. Christine
Speaker 4: from Virginia said, no question. Just wanted to say Eddie
Speaker 4: has the best attitude.
Speaker 3: Oh that's so sweet. I try my best, Christine, you do.

Speaker 1: Apparently he's a little weird too. Eddie is my favorite.
Speaker 4: Go listen to part one if you want to know
Speaker 4: that reference. Eddie is my favorite.
Speaker 1: On the show.
Speaker 3: Stephanie from Ohio, Thanks Stephanie, you're my favorite listener.
Speaker 1: You don't even know her?
Speaker 3: Yes, I do.
Speaker 1: What colors are heir?
Speaker 3: I do tell a lot of listeners that too. She's
Speaker 3: got darker hair.
Speaker 1: Okay, she probably does. I mean you had a shot
Speaker 1: there actually.
Speaker 4: Like like, dang it all or opposite. All right, let's
Speaker 4: get into some listener questions. We're gonna talk kids.
Speaker 3: Yes, are there.
Speaker 1: Any sports you hope your kids never show interest in?
Speaker 1: Kaylee and Kentucky?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 3: Never. I mean I wouldn't hate it. I wouldn't hate
Speaker 3: it if they didn't like football.
Speaker 1: Really, yeah, why because it just the most injuries just.
Speaker 3: Because of the dangers of playing football.
Speaker 1: Like the head injury, d bad injury.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean really kind of just any injuries. Like
Speaker 3: there's there's a lot of older football players that you
Speaker 3: see now that can't even walk just because their hips
Speaker 3: are bad, their knees are bad.
Speaker 5: Like you just think that's like pro NFL players though, No,
Speaker 5: but even like just you know, collegiate players and not
Speaker 5: like you know, people that played for Alabama, people that
Speaker 5: played for like ball State, any college.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and even like high school if you play like
Speaker 3: high level high school football, bad injury because like ainger
Speaker 3: for the rest of your life. So I would say,
Speaker 3: just because of injuries, I wouldn't hate it if they
Speaker 3: if any of them were just like I don't want
Speaker 3: to play football, Okay, but I have two that really
Speaker 3: want to play football and that are playing football. I
Speaker 3: have one that's already playing football and he's not huge.
Speaker 3: He's not big. He's really good, but he's not big,
Speaker 3: and I worry every single time, like he's going to
Speaker 3: break something.
Speaker 1: Do you feel like he's gonna want to play in college.
Speaker 3: If he's able to. Yeah, if he's like, if he
Speaker 3: makes it to college, one hundred percent, he will play
Speaker 3: all the way through college. I don't play in the NFL,
Speaker 3: like if he's ever ever that good. He loves it
Speaker 3: that much. And I thought that as soon as he
Speaker 3: would play it, start playing it and get one big
Speaker 3: hit or like get hit somewhere or some hit that
Speaker 3: knocks him out, like he would quit. Nope, he loved it.
Speaker 3: He got it, he got nailed.
Speaker 1: Oh he got like an adrenaline rush.
Speaker 3: He got nailed, and he was like that was awesome.
Speaker 3: Then he loves hitting like he just loves it all
Speaker 3: it's it's crazy.
Speaker 4: Oh that's funny, you got like adrenaline.
Speaker 3: I have two of those, and I have one that's
Speaker 3: like he doesn't like he wants to play football and
Speaker 3: he's not scared of getting hit, but he doesn't really
Speaker 3: love the game that much. So I don't know if
Speaker 3: he'll ever play and it's not because he's scared of
Speaker 3: being hit. I just don't think he'll ever play football
Speaker 3: because he's much better at basketball. He loves basketball a
Speaker 3: lot more.
Speaker 1: Well, that's fair.
Speaker 3: At least you like basketball, then I do love basketball.
Speaker 4: In your basketball coach for a while, yeah, same when
Speaker 4: you basketball coached.
Speaker 3: No another one. However, I might be going I haven't
Speaker 3: told no one this. I might be going back in
Speaker 3: an exclusive. Yeah, I might be going back in Because
Speaker 3: what happens in parent world is if you want to
Speaker 3: if you want to create a team where like we've
Speaker 3: played so much, we're at the point now where we've
Speaker 3: played so much basketball that we can go anywhere in
Speaker 3: the city and we recognize five or six players that
Speaker 3: we know that either we've played with they've been on
Speaker 3: our team, or they've we played against them, or they
Speaker 3: know my kids just because they played against them. And
Speaker 3: so it's the community of we know a bunch of
Speaker 3: people that play basketball in town, and we live in
Speaker 3: a big city. And so if we want to create
Speaker 3: a team, like you have to be the coach. And
Speaker 3: so I have seen about six players that I would
Speaker 3: love to have on one team that are just all
Speaker 3: really good at different things a big kid, a shooter,
Speaker 3: a defensive player, and I've seen these and like, we're
Speaker 3: thinking it's best for our kid too to be on
Speaker 3: a winning team. Yeah, so if we want that to happen,
Speaker 3: I might need to step out and be a coach again.
Speaker 1: You know this is so true.
Speaker 4: I'm looking back and I've never asked my mom why,
Speaker 4: but I would imagine it's something of the similar.
Speaker 1: Reason. She started a competitive cheer.
Speaker 4: Team when we were young, young, young, young, and we
Speaker 4: had competed on extreme athletics, which was pretty well known
Speaker 4: in like the Witchhaw area as a competitive cheer squad.
Speaker 4: And because we were going to compete, this wasn't the
Speaker 4: cheersquad at high school. Like basketball, the game a little
Speaker 4: bit different, the competitive you're going to competitions and you.
Speaker 3: Have a dull routine. Is that the one that goes
Speaker 3: to Disney World?
Speaker 4: That one can there's different ones. I don't think we
Speaker 4: did on that on that level.
Speaker 1: I can't remember. I was so young, like I, but
Speaker 1: there are.
Speaker 3: How young were you, Eddie?
Speaker 4: I couldn't have been more than five years old. I
Speaker 4: was a baby doing stunts in the air. There are
Speaker 4: photos of the Wichita State University cheer team. The guys
Speaker 4: putting me up in the air and they'd throw me
Speaker 4: in baskets, you know where they tossed you in the
Speaker 4: air and I was just little, And there's videos and
Speaker 4: photos of all of that.
Speaker 1: That's cool, But something I don't know what happened.
Speaker 4: If my mom was just like, I want like this
Speaker 4: to be something, because we really wanted to pursue it.
Speaker 4: We loved competitive cheerleading and tumbling gymnastics, and so my
Speaker 4: mom started her own thing. We had a competitive called
Speaker 4: Ice Competitive cheer squad for years and my mom.
Speaker 1: Even like passed it down to somebody at some point.
Speaker 4: It was wild and it started with some of the
Speaker 4: Witchitawk State University people.
Speaker 3: That's cool.
Speaker 1: It was crazy.
Speaker 3: So your mom she was a cheerleader, No, I don't
Speaker 3: think so.
Speaker 1: She just loved to choose a great coach, great leader.
Speaker 3: And probably and it really is a thing too. If
Speaker 3: you want what's best for your kid, you've got to
Speaker 3: you've got to be the leader, Like you've got to
Speaker 3: start the team. You've got to do all the work.
Speaker 3: You've got to recruit, you've got to get different people
Speaker 3: that are gonna make your kids look better, you know,
Speaker 3: and Whenever my kids have good players on their team,
Speaker 3: they look better.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, and it sets them up for success
Speaker 4: in different ways.
Speaker 3: Because for years we were always just like, hey, you
Speaker 3: got room in your team, You got room in your team.
Speaker 3: And then they're like, yeah, sure, bring them in, and
Speaker 3: they never really played even though they're so good. Whoever
Speaker 3: if they're because usually each team has about three coaches
Speaker 3: and they're all dads, and so those three kids, no
Speaker 3: matter how good they are, are going to play most
Speaker 3: most of the game because the dads and you kind
Speaker 3: of respect that because they're the ones taking all the
Speaker 3: personal time into the team. They're doing the practices, they're
Speaker 3: they're doing the rosters, they're communicating with the parents, all
Speaker 3: that stuff, and it takes a lot of time. So
Speaker 3: you understand, I get it. You're doing all the work,
Speaker 3: So why not your kid get all the playing time. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but it's not good for the team because if they suck,
Speaker 3: they suck.
Speaker 1: It just is what it is.
Speaker 3: I mean, we're dealing with that. Now. We have a
Speaker 3: coach where like he and this this is a good
Speaker 3: basketball team, but his son, like is not the best
Speaker 3: player on the team, and he starts and he probably
Speaker 3: turns the ball over twenty times and they can't win games,
Speaker 3: and it's like every parent is like, bro, like can
Speaker 3: you not see this? And he may not. He may
Speaker 3: not see it because as a parent you don't see that.
Speaker 1: Or he just wants him to keep getting better, so
Speaker 1: he's like, you have to play more.
Speaker 3: Well yeah, but dude, there's also all these other kids
Speaker 3: that are trying to get better too, Like let's teach
Speaker 3: all these kids. So yeah, it's frustrating, but it's so.
Speaker 1: Funny how that works. That's the thing that continues sports, yep,
Speaker 1: forever and ever.
Speaker 4: Okay, on the flip side of that, what is a
Speaker 4: favorite skill of yours that you hope you pass on
Speaker 4: to your kids. We kind of touched on this a
Speaker 4: little bit. We're talking part one of weird traits you passed.
Speaker 3: Say, yeah, but we're not talking about that now.
Speaker 4: The things you would like to pass on to them
Speaker 4: From Chris in Massachusetts.
Speaker 3: Chris, this is funny because my wife and I were
Speaker 3: just talking about this. We were at the dinner table
Speaker 3: and like anytime I'm like, hey, we're gonna have steaks
Speaker 3: steaks tonight. The boys like, yes, We're having Dad's steak
Speaker 3: and my wife is like, hey, boys, you should acknowledge this,
Speaker 3: like this is cool. Like your dad like is a
Speaker 3: good cook and you should learn from him how to
Speaker 3: cook these things so that you can be a good cook.
Speaker 3: And then my wife loves because I mean we have
Speaker 3: four boys. Yeah, and my wife's her angle in conversation
Speaker 3: all the time is like your girlfriends or your wives.
Speaker 3: It's always like, don't do that, Like, don't do that?
Speaker 3: Do you really want your girlfriend or wives to see
Speaker 3: you do? Shout out? And one of the big ones
Speaker 3: like learn to cook. Learn to cook. Your wife will
Speaker 3: appreciate that.
Speaker 1: Have any of them started learning to cook you?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 3: Our sixteen year old is really weirdly involved in cooking,
Speaker 3: where like he's he got a cookbook for Christmas. I
Speaker 3: guess it's like a viral TikTok oh there's so many
Speaker 3: kids or something or a YouTube guy his name is
Speaker 3: like Nick Joe Giovanni, I don't know anyway, and so
Speaker 3: he watches him all the time. He got a cookbook.
Speaker 3: He bought it, and so once a week he goes
Speaker 3: to the grocery store and make something off the cookbook.
Speaker 1: Like for the whole family or just for himself.
Speaker 3: Well, he tries to do the whole family, but that's
Speaker 3: too much. So sometimes he'll just do like everyone can
Speaker 3: try it.
Speaker 1: Got it, you know, it's like a happetizer.
Speaker 3: It's like noki, right, and like everyone can have like
Speaker 3: five pieces of noki or something like that. And so
Speaker 3: he loves it. He loves doing it, and I'll help
Speaker 3: him with it, and mostly I'm just kind of there, like, bro,
Speaker 3: speed it up, like we'll be here for two hours
Speaker 3: if you don't hurry up, because he like he starts
Speaker 3: cutting the potatoes nice and slow and evenly I'm like, nah,
Speaker 3: let's go fast.
Speaker 1: He's got to watch some of those cooking competitions, just like, yes,
Speaker 1: this is fast.
Speaker 3: You got five minutes because he's very slow and just
Speaker 3: delicate and precise. Yeah, and it's like, man, you gotta
Speaker 3: and even like just flipping like a burger. He like
Speaker 3: don't want to get the oil on me or whatever.
Speaker 3: It's like they're just get in there, like get the
Speaker 3: spatula in there and whip it. Let's go.
Speaker 1: That's so funny.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I would say cooking and because my dad
Speaker 3: passed that on to me. Yeah, he was an awesome person.
Speaker 1: That is a great trait to have.
Speaker 4: It's not one that is easily come by either. It's
Speaker 4: you kind of have to really teach yourself that skill.
Speaker 4: So great one to pass down.
Speaker 3: And like my wife said, your girlfriend's gonna love it.
Speaker 4: But yeah, they're all going to be a catch because
Speaker 4: they know how to cook. You know how many times
Speaker 4: I meet it, God and I'll be like, you don't
Speaker 4: know how to cook. I'm like, I'm not making new
Speaker 4: sandwiches for the rest of your life.
Speaker 3: Yeah, your boyfriend not to cook?
Speaker 4: Yeah, in uh, vegetables and heat grills and stuff too.
Speaker 4: So yeah, he does have that side. He's learning a
Speaker 4: lot from my vegetarianism.
Speaker 3: It's an adjustment, yes.
Speaker 4: Which I'm super lucky is his mom, I guess is
Speaker 4: actually vegan, so that helps.
Speaker 1: He's kind of used to eating vegetarian. So when I
Speaker 1: do weird things, it's like, no, this tastes great. I'll
Speaker 1: eat anything that's awesome. Yeah. But and then yeah, good
Speaker 1: at dishes too.
Speaker 3: That's another time my kids. I do the dishes.
Speaker 1: Every time I see him do the dish on Yes,
Speaker 1: he does it often. Yes.
Speaker 4: Wendy from Richmond wants to know who helps your wife
Speaker 4: when you're at home when you are gone and GE's
Speaker 4: at home.
Speaker 3: Oh, Wendy, that's a good question. No one, no one.
Speaker 3: It's it's hard. It's hard. Like you know, other parents
Speaker 3: will help with pick up, like will you pick so
Speaker 3: and so up and drop them off? And they'll do
Speaker 3: that kind of thing usually, like when there's games to
Speaker 3: go to, which I hate missing their games. But if
Speaker 3: there are games and we're on the road, somebody just
Speaker 3: has to miss a game. The kids, one of the
Speaker 3: kids has to miss a game.
Speaker 1: Do they get mad about it?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 1: Do the kids know?
Speaker 3: Usually it's the little one, the five year old. Okay,
Speaker 3: he plays baseball. Usually his is the one that has
Speaker 3: to get canceled. Yeah, but he doesn't know, like literally,
Speaker 3: if you tell him there's no game this weekend, he'd
Speaker 3: be like cool, Okay, no game.
Speaker 1: He's not at the point where he's remembering yet. No,
Speaker 1: you're lucky.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Maybe two more years of.
Speaker 3: That, yeah maybe, and then there's gonna be a fight.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Okay, all right, gonna take a quick break. And
Speaker 4: I got more questions for you. Kelly and Patty both
Speaker 4: asked how your wife's art selling is going.
Speaker 3: She sold a piece? Did she sold a piece. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean it's kind of So she's been working on
Speaker 3: this for about year and a half, close to year
Speaker 3: and a half.
Speaker 4: When you say working on it meaning putting together her
Speaker 4: business or painting the different eyes.
Speaker 3: Just painting. What she wanted to do was just paint
Speaker 3: first and she'd finish a painting, put it aside, do
Speaker 3: another painting, put it aside, and then once she had
Speaker 3: ten which I guess an artist world, you have a collection. Okay,
Speaker 3: I think I don't know. That's what she says. I
Speaker 3: know nothing about that.
Speaker 1: I trust you both because I have no idea.
Speaker 3: Rather than that looks cool. That's my expertise in art.
Speaker 3: That looks cool. Other than that, I don't know anything.
Speaker 3: And so apparently she wanted to have a collection, and
Speaker 3: so once that collection was done, then you can put
Speaker 3: it up for sale and then go from there. But
Speaker 3: what she didn't realize is that there's kind of a
Speaker 3: price that goes along with it, and it's you know,
Speaker 3: you set it like a dollar a square foot or whatever,
Speaker 3: like seventy cents of square foot whatever. But all of
Speaker 3: the pieces that she made were humongous. They're huge, they're
Speaker 3: they're on the size of the kitchen table, like they're
Speaker 3: so big, and so everything immediately is like three thousand dollars.
Speaker 3: Two thousand dollars is maybe the cheapest, and so like
Speaker 3: that's not easy to sell, and so I so what
Speaker 3: she didn't realize was like, oh, man, like once I
Speaker 3: start selling these, like I should have made smaller ones
Speaker 3: so people can buy or prints. And I guess in
Speaker 3: the art world again, like you can make prints of
Speaker 3: your art and sell those for much much cheaper because
Speaker 3: it's not the original art.
Speaker 1: Got it.
Speaker 3: However, See this is all the stuff that I never knew.
Speaker 3: And she tried, she tried to explain this to me.
Speaker 3: But if you do that, you have to let the
Speaker 3: owner of the original art and know that you were
Speaker 3: going to do prints before you sell it. Because people
Speaker 3: like original art. It's almost like collecting, almost like in
Speaker 3: Bobby's world of memorabilia.
Speaker 1: You want to be the only one that has it.
Speaker 3: If you have the Tom Brady signed helmet, the one
Speaker 3: of one that's worth so much, and like you love
Speaker 3: having that because it's one of one. But if there
Speaker 3: was two hundred fake ones just like that that they sold,
Speaker 3: that now makes your one of one kind of like
Speaker 3: not that special. Because it's been printed out a lot. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so there's kind of that that she's kind of struggling with.
Speaker 3: She's like, I don't know, should I do prints of
Speaker 3: mine or I don't know? So she finally sold one.
Speaker 3: She was so excited that she sold one. But now
Speaker 3: she's like, I've got to make smaller ones so that
Speaker 3: more people can afford these.
Speaker 4: Well, maybe that's the trade off instead of doing prints,
Speaker 4: she just makes some smaller ones are more affordable for
Speaker 4: other people.
Speaker 1: But also she's put.
Speaker 4: In a lot of time and effort on those pieces,
Speaker 4: and that's also a reason why art is so expensive, right,
Speaker 4: And the ones that I don't understand where they wrote
Speaker 4: like stop in black paint and it goes for fifty
Speaker 4: million dollars.
Speaker 3: No I'm missing I know, but there are some people
Speaker 3: in the world that are like, oh, I need that.
Speaker 3: I need that in my living room. Like how many
Speaker 3: times do I say stop? It means so much? It
Speaker 3: means and this, it means so much to me. I
Speaker 3: need it so cool. And she's also doing requests like
Speaker 3: I guess it's called oh, there's a word for it,
Speaker 3: I don't know, commission commission work. So like you can
Speaker 3: message her and say I have a room that's kind
Speaker 3: of like greenish and I want something with like green shades.
Speaker 3: Then she can personally make something for for you. And
Speaker 3: she's doing that right now for somebody, for somebody.
Speaker 4: So she sold a piece of her work and she's
Speaker 4: working on a commission work.
Speaker 3: Correct amazing, And she's also working on smaller ones that'll
Speaker 3: probably be up for sale, I would say in the
Speaker 3: next few weeks. Yeah, and two of them like are awesome.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 1: Have you been on any of them? Like, Hey, no,
Speaker 1: we're keeping that. Let's staying here.
Speaker 3: There's one that she wants to keep, and she like,
Speaker 3: I really really want to keep it because there's kind
Speaker 3: of like there's kind of a hidden thing in it
Speaker 3: where like she did it and she's like, this is cool,
Speaker 3: Like I hid.
Speaker 1: This a little Easter egg in there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there are like Easter eggs in the painting. And
Speaker 3: she's like, I kind of want to keep it for
Speaker 3: that reason because it means this to me. But I
Speaker 3: don't know, I don't know if she's gonna end up
Speaker 3: keeping it out at.
Speaker 1: The right price. You know, she's part with it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'm so proud of her. She's she's doing
Speaker 3: great and like it's it's a huge deal for me too,
Speaker 3: because she's really been working on art for so long
Speaker 3: since I met her. She's always done art, but she
Speaker 3: never has been able to do art in this way
Speaker 3: because if we have four kids, like but she also
Speaker 3: is like, if I'm going to do this, I'm going
Speaker 3: to make the time I have that those hours while
Speaker 3: they're in school to do this, I'm going to do it.
Speaker 3: So I'm proud of her for doing that.
Speaker 1: I'm so happy for her. She deserves that. Your wife's amazing.
Speaker 4: Are you and your wife still working with the foster
Speaker 4: care system from Susan in North Dakota.
Speaker 3: So we're not doing anything in particular. We do some
Speaker 3: kind of like we have like some friends that that
Speaker 3: are foster parents that have gone into fostering and so
Speaker 3: we kind of help them a little bit. But no,
Speaker 3: we're not doing anything big. I still want to speak
Speaker 3: on fostering. It's kind of been something that I've been
Speaker 3: wanting to do for a long time.
Speaker 1: You had that one event, did you not do any other?
Speaker 3: I had like three, I've had like three events.
Speaker 4: I just knew about the one because there was a
Speaker 4: picture in the outfit that was the one that I.
Speaker 3: Remember maybe four events. I mean, I'm racking up the events,
Speaker 3: which is cool because my stories, my story is unique
Speaker 3: in the way of like I didn't want to be
Speaker 3: a foster parent, Like I this is the last thing
Speaker 3: in the world that I thought I would ever ever be,
Speaker 3: but I got into it, and the story of how
Speaker 3: I got into it and why I decided to give
Speaker 3: it a shot is really cool. And then just the
Speaker 3: end of the story is cool because like, my life
Speaker 3: has changed completely for the for the for the better. Yeah,
Speaker 3: And whenever we're at church and I think may I
Speaker 3: think now is is Foster Awareness Month? And so every
Speaker 3: time they mentioned that kind of it's kind of like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I did that, That's what I did.
Speaker 1: You got your boy Scout bats.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like a badge of just like, yeah, I've
Speaker 3: been part of that community. I know what that's like.
Speaker 3: So when you hear people talking about fostering or opening
Speaker 3: up their home to being a foster home, a lot
Speaker 3: of people like, I don't know what that is. I
Speaker 3: don't know what you're talking about. So I kind of
Speaker 3: zone out, but not me anymore, Like, yeah, that was us, Yeah,
Speaker 3: and those were my boys. Those were my boys, which
Speaker 3: is crazy to even think that that's the situation they
Speaker 3: were in because their life is so perfect right now
Speaker 3: that it's hard to imagine that they were in that
Speaker 3: situation at one point in their life.
Speaker 1: It's so true.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 1: Well I love that. I hope you can speak some more,
Speaker 1: but I.
Speaker 3: Do want to speak more. And yeah, yeah, we should
Speaker 3: get involved with some organizations a little more.
Speaker 4: Well, you guys also have done a lot and now
Speaker 4: you're on a different side of it, so it comes
Speaker 4: in ebbs and flows what it looks like. All right,
Speaker 4: we're going to take a quick break in just a
Speaker 4: few more. Already, this is kind of an advice situation.
Speaker 4: Hailey from Maine is getting married in eighteen days and
Speaker 4: wants to know if you have any advice for her
Speaker 4: going into this stage of.
Speaker 1: Life a marriage.
Speaker 3: Woo, that's a big one, I know.
Speaker 4: And don't you can't do the cheesy one where it's like,
Speaker 4: what's going to be angry because like we all know
Speaker 4: those at this point.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you'll get a bit angry. It'll happen. Everything that
Speaker 3: they say like don't do, it's gonna happen. Yeah, Like
Speaker 3: I remember, I remember them telling us like don't say
Speaker 3: words like always you always do this, I guarantee you,
Speaker 3: Like last week I probably said that you always do this,
Speaker 3: Like I just it just happens, you know. Marriage, Oh,
Speaker 3: marriage is probably the hardest thing that you'll ever do
Speaker 3: in your life. And I mean that in a good way,
Speaker 3: because when you do last or get over some really
Speaker 3: hard hard times in your marriage, it feels like you
Speaker 3: just won the biggest fight of your life. Like you
Speaker 3: just you're the champion of the world, the heavyweight champion
Speaker 3: of the world. Because it's Morgan. Imagine it. You're sharing
Speaker 3: everything that you have in your life with one person. Everything. Yeah, everything.
Speaker 1: That's a huge feet in my eyes.
Speaker 3: Where you're used to just doing whatever you want. Like
Speaker 3: my brother he's single. I think he'll be single for
Speaker 3: the rest of his life because in his mind, he
Speaker 3: wants to do whatever he wants. He's like, if I'm hungry,
Speaker 3: I'm going to go eat. If I'm tired, I'm going
Speaker 3: to sleep. If I want to go to a bar,
Speaker 3: I'm going to go to a bar. Like that's how
Speaker 3: he lives his life. When you get married, you can't
Speaker 3: do that. It's just not like that I'm hungry, are
Speaker 3: you hungry. Where do you want to go eat? Should
Speaker 3: we go eat? Now? No, let's wait, Like it's just
Speaker 3: it's just hard money. Money is such a weird thing.
Speaker 3: The question of or how you were raised like I
Speaker 3: always did this, I was raised this way. You were
Speaker 3: raised differently? How do we make that? How do we
Speaker 3: do that together? You know, just there's so many you
Speaker 3: don't realize how different you are than someone until you
Speaker 3: get married, Like you just even though we're the same,
Speaker 3: like you can like you're dating your boyfriend now and
Speaker 3: you're like, oh my gosh, we have so much in common.
Speaker 3: We have this in common. We love movies, we love
Speaker 3: these sports, we love blah blah whatever. But there is
Speaker 3: something that you have not talked about yet that when
Speaker 3: you get married, you're like, oh.
Speaker 1: Crap, this this is what we did talk about.
Speaker 3: We didn't talk about this, and this is where we
Speaker 3: think completely different about this. How are we going to
Speaker 3: get through this? Or even how you deal with problems,
Speaker 3: like there are so many things that you're gonna like
Speaker 3: just go through, but when you get through them, it's
Speaker 3: the coolest thing in the world. And to know that
Speaker 3: you have someone on your side at all times, it's
Speaker 3: pretty badass.
Speaker 1: Oh that's great advice.
Speaker 3: It's really cool to feel like you've got someone on
Speaker 3: your side.
Speaker 1: I think that's such great advice.
Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you at.
Speaker 1: Least for her to look forward to this.
Speaker 3: You're gonna love it. You're gonna love it.
Speaker 4: Oh, congratulations by the way, Hayley, I don't know who
Speaker 4: what your husband's name is, but congratch relations to you
Speaker 4: too or partner, whoever they may be.
Speaker 1: Congratulations.
Speaker 4: And last one advice from for someone going into college
Speaker 4: s B from Mississippi.
Speaker 5: S B.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know, it just says SB.
Speaker 3: Man. This is a tough one because of like do
Speaker 3: a parent, do I talk as a parent? Do I
Speaker 3: talk as a and I'll.
Speaker 4: Talk as somebody who went into college? Okay, does that work?
Speaker 3: Yes? As a parent? Take it seriously, Like I don't
Speaker 3: know if you're supporting your way through college or if
Speaker 3: your parents are paying through college, paying for college, or
Speaker 3: if you got a scholarship. I don't know what that
Speaker 3: situation is. But if your parents are paying for college,
Speaker 3: it's a sacrifice. It is such a sacrifice for them
Speaker 3: to get you to college, to get you to go
Speaker 3: to college, for you to have this college experience. So
Speaker 3: don't waste their money, like, take it seriously, go to class, learn,
Speaker 3: stay busy, don't drink too much, don't party too much.
Speaker 3: You can still have fun, but be responsible and enjoy
Speaker 3: it because college is going to be the best time
Speaker 3: of your life. College is going to be awesome.
Speaker 1: See I was, I was on the other end. I
Speaker 1: agree with Eddie that you should work really hard.
Speaker 4: But you should work hard and you should play harder,
Speaker 4: play harder.
Speaker 1: Yes, you know, because.
Speaker 4: You don't get that time back in your life where
Speaker 4: you are an adult.
Speaker 1: You are able to kind of make your own money
Speaker 1: and spend your time how you want. You're learning what.
Speaker 4: Being an adult looks like. You don't really have massive responsibilities.
Speaker 4: You have the responsibility of attending class, passing your classes,
Speaker 4: and yeah, please stay uves. But like you don't when
Speaker 4: you get out of college, you have so many responsibilities.
Speaker 4: You have to pay for things that you never even
Speaker 4: realized maybe depending on what your.
Speaker 3: Life, depending on what that's circumstances.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but this is the one time in your life
Speaker 4: where you get to let lose and live life and
Speaker 4: really enjoy what life has to offer. You get to
Speaker 4: meet new people You're never going to meet people in
Speaker 4: the way you're going to meet people in college.
Speaker 1: It's not like that anywhere else.
Speaker 3: Everyone's in the same boat, like they're wanting to meet people.
Speaker 3: You're wanting to meet people exactly in the real world.
Speaker 3: Some people have people, some people want to meet people.
Speaker 3: Some people don't want to meet people.
Speaker 4: No, No, there's no time in your life that is like
Speaker 4: the time period of college. Not just college itself, but
Speaker 4: time period of college. So experience everything. Say yes to
Speaker 4: nearly everything. Nearly whoa nearly?
Speaker 3: WHOA easy on the drugs?
Speaker 1: I said nearly nearly for reason. Nearly everything.
Speaker 4: If somebody wants to you're going to take a weekend
Speaker 4: trip somewhere close by, go do it.
Speaker 1: If somebody wants to go to dinner and try somewhere
Speaker 1: or go do it.
Speaker 3: What about football games?
Speaker 4: Go to the games, go to every game, Go experience sports.
Speaker 4: I didn't like sports, you know what, I was at
Speaker 4: all the basketball games. I went to football games.
Speaker 1: I did a sorority. I never would have thought I'd
Speaker 1: been in a sorority. I did it.
Speaker 4: And I'm so glad that I just said yes to
Speaker 4: so many things, because now in my adult life, when
Speaker 4: I ended that and I even ended college early in
Speaker 4: three years. In doing that, I still am like I
Speaker 4: had the best time. I lived it up and I
Speaker 4: really got to enjoy that time period of my life.
Speaker 4: Versus coming out of it, I'm like, dang, I regret
Speaker 4: I didn't do that. I didn't only get two hours
Speaker 4: of sleep that night, you know what I mean. Like,
Speaker 4: you're not gonna look back and be like I slept
Speaker 4: really good.
Speaker 1: You're really not.
Speaker 4: You're gonna look back and be like, dang, I was
Speaker 4: hungover in that class and that was rough, but I
Speaker 4: made it to class.
Speaker 1: But going to that party, yeah, you did both. That's
Speaker 1: why I say you work hard and you party harder
Speaker 1: or play harder.
Speaker 3: Yeah your version. That was hard for me because like
Speaker 3: I played hard, really hard and didn't work that hard,
Speaker 3: And it was because it was hard for me to
Speaker 3: balance the two. Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: It's a delicate balance.
Speaker 3: When you play hard, you want to play harder, and
Speaker 3: then you play harder, you're like, you want to play
Speaker 3: harder than that, and then after a while you're like,
Speaker 3: oh crap, I haven't worked at all.
Speaker 1: It's so true. You have to balance and made a
Speaker 1: little schedule.
Speaker 3: If you don't work hard, you will not be able
Speaker 3: to do that next year. That's why I tell my
Speaker 3: kids too, like, hey, you're gonna come home. You're gonna
Speaker 3: you're gonna just you're gonna be sent home next year,
Speaker 3: and it's all gonna be over. Like, so make sure
Speaker 3: you continue to work hard.
Speaker 4: Your priority should always be passing your classes.
Speaker 1: But right under that passing your classes.
Speaker 4: A freaking adult and living your best life in college
Speaker 4: it is one.
Speaker 1: Time in your life this is ever gonna happen.
Speaker 3: It is cool too to learn things in college, like
Speaker 3: like even just like learning how to cook, you know,
Speaker 3: learning how to do your own laundry, learning how to
Speaker 3: like decorate your apartment or your you know, your dorm whatever,
Speaker 3: just like all the cool things that adults did, like
Speaker 3: you're wonder Like, oh my mom she always had this
Speaker 3: like little ornament on the coffee table, Like ah, now
Speaker 3: you can dress up your room however you want and
Speaker 3: go Like.
Speaker 4: I was in a co ed dorm. Never would have
Speaker 4: thought I'd live with in a co ed dorm. I
Speaker 4: did it because I was like, this is a cool experience.
Speaker 4: Who knows what's going to happen? Ye do things that
Speaker 4: are outside of your comfort zone in a way that
Speaker 4: is going to benefit you.
Speaker 1: That's how I say, don't do drugs.
Speaker 3: I like it.
Speaker 4: Do things that are beneficial, like go eat in the
Speaker 4: in the thing. If you think the food's gross, go
Speaker 4: eat it. Who cares? Go experience life, So one time
