22
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: want to make sure that I hold up to the

23
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,759

00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 1: of guy that's gonna put the work in I think

28
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: to to really just be on our on our level. So, guys,

29
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: I have to admit something to you right now. I

30
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: blew my knee out two days ago, and so I'm

31
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: currently in at frustrated state in my life because I

32
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: think it's finally hit me that basketball and I may

33
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: need to be retired, which which really hurts my feelings.

34
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: You could be the prototypical guy that just sits on

35
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: the outside of the three point line, and just like

36
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: I'm open, I'm open, baby, You're like Bill Murray from

37
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: Space Jam. That's what your future with a knee brace

38
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: and elbow pads and a headband. That's my dream, um

39
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 1: and probably a helmet and justin case you never in

40
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: case the uh, I was playing basketball. I went to

41
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: a gathering of of people in business and pastors in

42
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: San Diego, and Uh, in the afternoon, they were like,

43
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: let's play some basketball. So I got down there. They

44
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: were playing a little more intense than I thought, so

45
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: I had to pick up the level of intensity myself.

46
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: Grabbed a rebound. It just like makes me sweat telling this.

47
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: Actually grabbed a rebound, dribble down the floor the court

48
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 1: and a guy step in front of me. So I

49
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: went with the I was dripping with my left tand

50
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: went with the left handed pushed to the side, so

51
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 1: I cut hard on the right, kind of like a

52
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,679
Speaker 1: nice euro step in the middle of the court, and uh,

53
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: the knee just popped and it dislocated to the side.

54
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: It was hanging and so now you know, I already

55
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: had tore my a c l and I've never got

56
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: it fixed. So I tore something else in there. I

57
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: don't know what it is. But when I stand up

58
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: and I just let it hang it, I can feel

59
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: it separate. Good Lord, Yeah, that's pretty good stuff. So

60
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: how do we make this full circle? Ben, We'll be

61
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: on the couch for the foreseeable future having his knee up.

62
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: Make sure he's resting. And speaking of couches, were represent

70
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: Would you say that's like a modern style? I I

71
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: wasn't ready for us to shift away from this Ben's

72
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: knee conversation. I gotta go back to this for a second.

73
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: So Ben, why are you not recording from like the

74
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: inside of an m r I machine at the moment?

75
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: Like why are you at home? Why are you not

76
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: in surgery on your knee? What's going on? A few

77
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: things going through my head, Dean, thanks for asking. Um.

78
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 1: One is i have my golf club championship this weekend,

79
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: so I'm trying everyone, So I'm trying to pit. I

80
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 1: get it. I can to wrap it tight, put a

81
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: brace on it, and go tiger this thing to the end.

82
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: The second thing is I'm really concerned boys and girls

83
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: for a November wedding. Um, And if I went in

84
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: to get a m. I even though I don't have

85
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: to schedule my surgery, I'm assuming they're going to push

86
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: for that, and I just don't know when now in

87
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: my life i'll be able to do that, which means

88
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: ski season is done, which means I'm laid up for

89
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: a few months. And so I'm mostly today in a

90
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: in a in a time of contemplation. I already kind

91
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: of was in a mental fragility state. I had moved

92
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: past that. I'm getting a lot of clarity in life.

93
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: So now I'm just kind of bummed today. Um, it's

94
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: kind of sad. I don't you know how it is Dean,

95
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: you had a big injury, kind of change his life

96
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: a lot, and I'm just sad. Well, I'm no medical expert,

97
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: but I am pretty sure that if your knee is

98
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: separating when you stand up straight, um, you probably need

99
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: to have some sort of medical like professional medical attention

100
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 1: on that knee. Um. But yeah, yeah, I mean I

101
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: it's I don't end your situation, man, that stinks. Yeah,

102
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: the wedding, you'll definitely be walking by then. If you

103
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: get your surgery, and like the next that's gonna ask

104
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: you potentially not be able to walk down the aisle

105
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: if you have surgery soon, I mean like after the

106
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 1: golf championship obviously. Yeah, there's always a cane, which I

107
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: think is a solid move. Like I think that I

108
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: don't hate that idea at all. Walking down the aisle

109
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: with a cane would be pretty awesome. Ben. This really

110
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 1: like ties into the fact that you still want to

111
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 1: be the host of the older person's Bacheler. Guys know

112
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: that I'm really throwing my name out there in a

113
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: very like non quiet way, like, Hey, I'm here, and

114
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 1: I I would love I feel like a cane can

115
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: only help your chances there exactly. All right, Well, you guys,

116
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: we are here to talk about home stuff. We have

117
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: Ari lion Dyke coming on to not only talk home

118
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: stuff because he is a realtor, but also talk about

119
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: his two newborn twins and how Lauren's doing. She was

120
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: just recently in the hospital. And then we have some

121
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: HDTV favorites, Chris Lambton and his wife Peyton Lambton, who

122
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: have a weird bachelor story. They are a bachelor couple,

123
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: but a lot of people don't know about it. Um, Okay,

124
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: so let's go around the circle here and like talk

125
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 1: about like what you're currently like, what your current living

126
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: situation is. I think, uh, I can start here just

127
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 1: to kick us off, and then Dan can goes. So. UM,

128
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 1: I bought a house that Dean's been to, I know,

129
00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: in downtown Denver, like uh eight years ago and so

130
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: it's a small little house. And so Jessica and I

131
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: when she moved out here, decided, Hey, we're gonna start

132
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 1: planning for a future and we're just looking at homes.

133
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: Found the home that we love in Golden Colorado. Um

134
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: and so so where I'm currently sitting right now. But

135
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: the house was pretty much redone. However, we had like

136
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: a few small projects that we want to work on.

137
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: One was a back deck, uh that we soon found

138
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: out was going to be astronomically expensive during this time

139
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: of COVID because lumber is expensive. So we kind of

140
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: paused that, but we did this side that we uh,

141
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna do our master bathroom and uh. And if

142
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: you fall along with Jessica's Instagram or mine at times,

143
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: you can see this journey unfold. We started in February.

144
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: We have great people working on the house. UM. I

145
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: hope they listen to this podcast. They are insanely slow.

146
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: Um it is. Uh. We're like seven months in and

147
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: I had demoed the whole thing myself, and so I

148
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: kind of cleaned it out for him, got everything out

149
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: of there, got the plumbing all capped off, and then thought, Okay,

150
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: they're gonna come in. And they told us a month

151
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: long project to do the tile and paint and put

152
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: the flooring down. This is why I don't want to

153
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: buy an older house and remodel. We're at months seven

154
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: and uh, and we're still going. Now it's getting closer.

155
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: There's a tub in, now, there's a shower, and we'll

156
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: do the big reveal here soon because I know everybody

157
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: really cares about that. Um, it's really pretty. I like it.

158
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: Jessica has been then, uh decorating this house uh with uh,

159
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: with a couple of interior designers. UH. And it's coming together.

160
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 1: Here's the problem, and I'll stop here and everybody. I

161
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: think people out there can relate. So our bathroom. You know,

162
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: they're cutting tile, they're moving tile. I have random people

163
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:42,839
Speaker 1: in and out out of this house at all times

164
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: of the day. It's where I'm working from now and uh,

165
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: and there's dust everywhere, and you just can't keep up

166
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: with it, Like it's just everywhere, and so we haven't

167
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: like hung pictures or anything because everything here is getting dusty.

168
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 1: So the walls are still pretty barren. But we're in it,

169
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: like we are full on making a home for ourselves,

170
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: so uh that we're prepped and ready to go. That's

171
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: where we're at. So we're kind of in this whole

172
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: remodeling stage and we need furniture. We need um all

173
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 1: the stuff that you'd have in a house. And it's

174
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 1: a lot bigger. It's like four times as big as

175
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: my house in Denver. So like I think I filled

176
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: one room here with like furniture. Hey Ben, fun fun fact,

177
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: your guys, interior decorator is the same one as mine Kalin's.

178
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: Aren't they awesome? The interior decorator has been incredible. So

179
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: I haven't really worked very much with them. That's kind

180
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: of been like Kalen's thing, um, but yeah, I mean

181
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: they seem pretty good. I think it's funny because Calin

182
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 1: always wants to have control over everything that that we're

183
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 1: putting into our house. So like the interior decorator will

184
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,839
Speaker 1: come with like three really good ideas and she'll like

185
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: use those ideas to like put her like make her

186
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: own thing out of it. You know, she just like

187
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,839
Speaker 1: kind of needs like a launching pad. But now she's

188
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: been great. And it's funny too, because, um, I'm sure

189
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: our houses will look very similar decorated at least just

190
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: because we have the same interior decorator. But um, is

191
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: it I've got a really awkward question to ask you.

192
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: Can I ask it? Yeah, definitely too late. You have

193
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: to ask it now. Curiosity will be the best of us.

194
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 1: So I know you're in this house now in Golden

195
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: But before you got that house, was it weird living

196
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: in the house with Jess and Denver she never lived there. Oh,

197
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: she didn't live there. It was weird. That's a good question.

198
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,959
Speaker 1: That's a fair question. Uh. I knew like pretty quickly,

199
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: like because there's like you know, Lauren lived there. Um

200
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 1: there was random stuff like that was like I like

201
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: I had not even noticed that was not mine that

202
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 1: was sitting around or like even old pictures that had

203
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: been thrown in like one of the like um shelvy

204
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 1: like in in like storage that like I just had

205
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: no clue of um and so, and it like had

206
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: a lot of memories and I know Jessica Like it

207
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 1: was just like it was very clear to me and her, like, hey,

208
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: we needed something new because this has too much history

209
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: in it and has too many stories. There's a show

210
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: filmed from it like there, we needed something new. So

211
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,839
Speaker 1: it wasn't even a hard decision, uh for us to

212
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: to to move out the sad thing because I hope

213
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: Jessica doesn't mind me sharing this. UM is up here.

214
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: I moved a lot of stuff up here. And the

215
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: other day she she's so sweet. I mean, I just

216
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: love that girl. And she was sitting at the kitchen table.

217
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: She goes, can I ask you a question? I said yeah,

218
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: And she pulls out some like old pictures and uh

219
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: and says that was like from like it was like

220
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: from a show that we did, Um was it Happily

221
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: ever after? A question Mark? UM? But there's like pictures,

222
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: like promo pictures of it. And she's like, were you

223
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 1: holding onto these like for a reason? Because I just

224
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: want to know why. And I was like, oh my gosh,

225
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: I had no clue, Like where did you find these?

226
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: She was like, they're in the TV stand. I was

227
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: looking for the chord for the TV. I saw him

228
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: and she was just like I could just see in

229
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 1: her face like were you holding on these was like

230
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: I'm not at all, Like please just like do what

231
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 1: you need with these things. And so you know, this

232
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: just feels like a new spot for us. And there's

233
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: still those things. So yes, we in short, we moved

234
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: out because it would have been weird. Did you guys

235
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,079
Speaker 1: throw out those pictures? Yes? Yes, but I did, Uh

236
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: I did. Uh. They were in nice picture frames, so

237
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: we kept the picture frames through money, that's valuable. But

238
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: the picture you needed to save you got a budget. Yeah,

239
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,839
Speaker 1: they're they're not here any longer. Um, we we got

240
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: rid of those. Also, just to elaverybody who know that's listening,

241
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: Kate Susanna and her husband Michael are the two doing

242
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: Dina and I's house. Is if you're ever interested in

243
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: a in a decorator, how do you have the same

244
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: decorator in different states? Virtual? It's all virtual. Virtual. I

245
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 1: think I think Klin saw Jess's like in spowboard or

246
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 1: something like that, and she was curious as she reached

247
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: out to Jess right and Jess got him in touch

248
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: or something like that, and it's it's crazy. I mean,

249
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure everyone here can attest, like I'm probably the

250
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: one that can test the least, honestly, Like how much

251
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: uh like nuance and like little design pieces just go

252
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: into a house before it really starts to feel more

253
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: comfortable and like a home. Right, Like as a guy

254
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 1: growing up, I would always just throw a couple of

255
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: posters on the wall, make sure there's a big TV

256
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 1: in the living room, and be done with it. But

257
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 1: like the way that Calin has been able to decorate

258
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 1: the house that we live in now, and like the

259
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: you know, the house that we share in Los Angeles

260
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: in her apartment before that, they really like the little

261
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 1: things make such a big difference and stuff that I

262
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: would never even consider. Have you had many decisions like

263
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: or is it do you think it's Is it mostly

264
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: Kalin who's decorating this house? Or are you putting your

265
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 1: input in? Dan Um? I mean I put my input

266
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: in definitely. I Like I'll pick up little trinkets on

267
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: my travels, Like in Mexico I found like a sweet

268
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: obsidian horse head uh, And I was like, I don't know,

269
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: I spent way too much money on It's like this

270
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 1: would be really cool, like a good centerpiece I got

271
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: like this big chunk of wood. Um, like the backyard design,

272
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: I've got a big part in. I'm sure Kalin's thrilled.

273
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 1: The only thing Dean brings to the table. Hey, I

274
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 1: got you a horsehead and a piece of wood. Dude,

275
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 1: the horse that is sweet. I'll send you guys a

276
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 1: picture of the horsehead. But I really like any she's

277
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 1: She says she really likes it too, so I guess

278
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 1: I don't. And it matches her aesthetic really well, So

279
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: I'm keeping all that in mind. But but no, she's

280
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: like read on the closets and everything on her own

281
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: accord um, and she's mostly doing everything else. But I'll

282
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: time and when I can. Her big thing is like, well,

283
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: I guess my big thing is like I'd rather build

284
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: something than like spend five x the amount of money

285
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: on like a pre fab preconstructed like bedframe or something

286
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: like that. So there's like issues where I'll start a

287
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: project to get like the way done with it and

288
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: then like not touch it for a while. So there's

289
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: like a bit of a mess in the house in places.

290
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: But um, that's like probably our biggest current issue. Welcome

00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: feel to be a bachelor couple? And honestly, like you've

307
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: met in the two thousands, tens and yet I don't

308
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: know that people consider you a bachelor couple because you've

309
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: met in a very unconventional way, and give us a

310
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: little bit of background how you met, because honestly, I

311
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: didn't know that you guys were from the Bachelor franchise. Yes,

312
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: So we met in North Carolina at Jimmy V golf tournament.

313
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: Jesse Beck, who was on my season of The Bachelor

314
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: Pad was on Christmas season of Bachelorette, And it was

315
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: one of those things like Jesse and I became friends

316
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: and he's like, Yo, you gotta meet my friend Chris.

317
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: We'll all be friends. And then he and I met

318
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: and we got engaged and got married. So its history.

319
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,680

333
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 1: They're like, we should have this guy in. And then

334
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,280

00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 1: with both you guys together. You know, it worked out

339
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: well for me because I'm like, all right, I can

340
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: dig a hole, I can plan something, I can't make

341
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: anything beautiful, you know. That's what she comes in with,

342
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 1: like the pills, the rugs, making everything like tie together.

343
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: So it was it was perfect. And so I'm curious

344
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: what you guys think about um working together. Now. I

345
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: know you guys are married, you have kids together, you

346
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: work together, Ashley is pregnant. You know, a lot of

347
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: the things that we do in terms of work, we

348
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: do together. So how do you balance that? How do

349
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: you balance your life between family, work, spending quality time together?

350
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: Because I know there's a big difference between spending time

351
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,640
Speaker 1: with one another and spending quality time together, So how

352
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: do you balance that? Well, First, congratulations to you guys,

353
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: this is really exciting time I'm over the moon for

354
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: you to experience this next phase of life. Well, thank you,

355
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: that's why the growth right now. No, you look amazing, UM,

356
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 1: so balanced, Like, yeah, you know you're together all the time. Um,

357
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 1: I think working together, Chris and I learned very quickly

358
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: to stay in our lanes. Um. You know, he does

359
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 1: what he does very well. I do what I do

360
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 1: very well. And uh we try not to cross over

361
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: that line um and offer unsolicited advice. Um. But then,

362
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: but now, like when you throw kids in the next

363
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 1: and like Joe, that's a great questions because we're together

364
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: a lot with the kids a lot. But then you

365
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: still have to, like now especially you have to like

366
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: make time for like a date night or to get

367
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: out together because you need that alone time to you know,

368
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: connect and be be with each other and not talk

369
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: about work or your kids. Yeah. I guess that's one thing.

370
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: I'm your whole life is about working kids. Well, I

371
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: guess that's what fair point. That's one thing I'm nervous

372
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: about because there's other things that I want to still

373
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: be able to do as well. I want to hang

374
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 1: out with my friends or go golfing. But you know,

375
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: with with having a child, that's really going to change

376
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 1: our lives. And you know, we're gonna put so much

377
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 1: of our effort into our our family and our work

378
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 1: and then and also our relationship. I I you know,

379
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: Ashley and I spent so much time together, but a

380
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: lot of it, as she said, is talking about work.

381
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 1: And I know once a kid comes, it will be

382
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 1: talking about the kid and not so much us anymore.

383
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: So that's why I was asking you too, how do

384
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,479
Speaker 1: you how do you balance that? Because I guess in

385
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: my mind, you know, when we spend so much time together,

386
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: a lot of it isn't quality time. And I think

387
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 1: she gets frustrated with me because whenever I get a

388
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: free moment, I'm like, Okay, I'm gonna go golf with

389
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: my friends, and she's like, yeah, but we haven't gone

390
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: on a date. And I'm like, well, we spent the

391
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: past three days straight together and she's like, yeah, but

392
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: that's not quality time. That was you know, we were

393
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: doing work things, and and so I no, I wanted

394
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: to get your piece of advice and tell me what

395
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 1: to do. But I think even when we work together,

396
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: it's it's quality time together. Because a lot of couples

397
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: don't get to work together, you know, like some couples, like,

398
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 1: you know, I might work nine to five and then

399
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: she might work nights, and then you know, you would

400
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: just be like two ships crossing the night. That's what

401
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 1: my parents were like growing up because my mom worked nights,

402
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: my dad worked days, so they barely saw each other.

403
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 1: So I think, even you know, today we're working together

404
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: setting stuff up. It was work, but it was almost

405
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: like quality time because we were away from the kids.

406
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 1: We have to hang out. We had like a lunch

407
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: on the go together. So even though it's not like

408
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: what a typical date night, quality time together is, I

409
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: still cherish it because it's even we're getting the chance

410
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 1: to work together that a lot of couples don't get

411
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: that chance, and you know, we're we're fortunate to be

412
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: able to do that. I feel yeah, And I mean

413
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: it's just like you're entering this different pace of life

414
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,439
Speaker 1: and I think you just have to embrace it and

415
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: accept it that, yeah, things are gonna be different, and

416
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: your relationship is going to be different, your relationship your

417
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: kids is gonna be like this whole new experience that

418
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: you don't know what's to come. But I think that

419
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: if you guys, can always make sure that you are

420
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 1: connecting with one another because those for a few months

421
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 1: with a newborn, like you know you're gonna be sleep deprived.

422
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: Just just make sure you're like still seeing each other. Well,

423
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: one thing too, that all four of these hosts have

424
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 1: in common is we're all in a fairly large transition

425
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 1: phases in our life. We're starting to become adults and

426
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 1: act serious about life. And we've don't do it. No, no,

427
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: we're you know, just just my best not to being

428
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: doing the best job right now. And I'm proud of

429
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: him for it. But we uh, we're moving into new homes. Uh,

430
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: we're starting to set up homes. I don't know if

431
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:47,959
Speaker 1: COVID had a little bit to do that with that.

432
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: We're like, hey, let's just like start to settle down,

433
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: put roofs of our heads, build a home for our families.

434
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: But uh, during the pandemic, we saw some problem I mean,

435
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 1: I'm assuming we saw some themes change in terms of

436
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: decorating and outdoor spaces for all of us. If you

437
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: give us some advice or some like trends as we

438
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: start to develop our homes, what kind of trends are

439
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: you are you seeing Um, Yeah, I mean I think

440
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 1: that you have to look at your outdoor space is

441
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 1: another room of your house. And through the pandemic, a

442
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 1: lot of people realize that you have to extend beyond

443
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: the inside of your house. Um to make more livable space.

444
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,679
Speaker 1: A lot of people don't have big houses, but you

445
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: may have a yard, you may have a deck, You

446
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: have somewhere to go outside, So use it and use

447
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: it how you want to. You know, it's like you

448
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 1: can see trends and you can see pinterest in HDTV

449
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 1: and what all these people are doing. But if that's

450
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: not what you want to do, and that's not what

451
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,919
Speaker 1: your life encompasses, then you know, just sit back and

452
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,919
Speaker 1: and figure out how you want to use that space.

453
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 1: Do you want to eat outside, do you want to

454
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: entertain outside, do you want to play games outside? It's

455
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: kind of you have to tailor it to what your

456
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 1: interests are. And I've seen during the pandemic is that

457
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: you know, patios, fire pits, outdoor kitchens. I mean, people

458
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 1: can't get enough them in their backyard. People entertained be

459
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 1: outside so they can still have friends come over, you know,

460
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: social distance or whatever you need to do in the backyard,

461
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: but it's a lot easier. And then people who have

462
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: kids like we do, like if other people the kids

463
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 1: come over, the last thing I want is a lot

464
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: of kids running around my house destroying stuff. So everyone

465
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: to the back, get them off your lawn. Yeah yeah,

466
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 1: in the backyard the lawn, ye know. Yeah. So we

467
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 1: have we have a big patio with like we have

468
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 1: like an oversized like dining room tables. We can sit

469
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: outside enjoy it out there. Um a lot of raised

470
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 1: planters and vegetable gardens because now people like to have

471
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 1: their own place to grow their own flowers and veggies

472
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 1: in the backyard. So you've seen a lot that people

473
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,400
Speaker 1: have turned their backyards into kind of like an oasis

474
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 1: where they can sit out there entertaining, have dinner, and

475
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 1: then after we'd sit by a fire pit, have a

476
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: glass of wine. I've got a question kind of for

477
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 1: everyone when it comes to uh more so like budgeting.

478
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:03,879
Speaker 1: So like Caitlin and I we bought our house, but

479
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 1: what I didn't realize was that was the first of

480
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 1: many big expenses that we're still to come with the house. Like,

481
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: how do you guys all feel about uh, Like, let's

482
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: say there's a certain upgrade you want to get and

483
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,919
Speaker 1: it's like fifty grand, but you could do like a

484
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: smaller version of it for like thirty grand, but you'd

485
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: be less happy with it. Caitlin and I are constantly

486
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 1: having the conversation of should we get what we want

487
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: and just pay the extra money for it, or should

488
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: we be a little bit more frugal and still be

489
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: happy with like a smaller version of that finished product.

490
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: How do you guys all stand with that kind of

491
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 1: like conversation. I feel like, do what you really want

492
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: the first time around, because you're going to end up

493
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 1: doing it again. You spend thirty dollars on something that

494
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 1: you're like me, then you're gonna want to replace it

495
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 1: and you're gonna end up spending more than the original

496
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 1: fifty grand. So like, even if you have to space

497
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: these things out, like, don't pull the trigger on something

498
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: unless you're all in. We can I answer that we have,

499
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 1: Like just can I because we were consider instantly getting uh,

500
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: like we we just didn't see things the same way.

501
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 1: Jessica is a lot more frugal than I am, and

502
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 1: I'm pretty frugal, but she like sees the number and

503
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 1: says us just not do it like, that's kind of

504
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: her first punse I'm like, well, that's not fully fair.

505
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 1: We we have to do something. So what we've done

506
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: is we've designed are like dream home idea for the

507
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: home that we're currently in, and we might not do

508
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: it all at once, but we take steps to get there.

509
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: So like if we're like, hey, one day we want

510
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: to have a backyard with a waterfall and climbing Jim, okay, well,

511
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 1: how do we start that process and not do it

512
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: all at once so that it spreads out over time

513
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 1: and so it's less money up front. But we're not

514
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: like changing anything as we go, We're just stepping towards

515
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: it slowly. Yeah, that makes sense. My My biggest thing

516
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 1: was I really so we just had like a big

517
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,199
Speaker 1: empty dirt lot in our backyard and I was like

518
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: to to Kayla, and I told her I wanted a

519
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: putting green with a chipping green, the lazy river like

520
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: surrounding it, like floating around it. It sounds like I thought,

521
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 1: it sounds like we we got a quote for it

522
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 1: and it was like double what we had wanted to

523
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: pay for our backyard renovation. Um. Anyways, long story short,

524
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: I think what we kind of did, was like we

525
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 1: settled for like a small putting green to the side

526
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 1: and then like a pool over in there, so like

527
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 1: we kind of compromise. But I guess to whatever everyone's

528
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 1: point is, Like, I hope that we're not going to

529
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: come back in four years and I'm gonna be dreaming

530
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: of a of a chipping green with a lazy river

531
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 1: around it, you know, But I don't know. I guess

532
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: time will tell. In that case, I got an answer

533
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: for you that Peyton and Chris can probably help you with.

534
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: What you need to do is get on a television

535
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,679
Speaker 1: show and you need to get the support of a

536
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: show to help you. Yes, you still have to pay

537
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 1: for it, but there's just you know, there's some benefits there.

538
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 1: So Dean, I feel like that's kind of the cell

539
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: and in the strategy that we need to start taking here. Hey,

540
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: if there's any TV host, Chris Peyton, you guys more

541
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: than welcome to come and renovate our backyard for us. Uh,

542
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: We're definitely came to that idea. It's just a matter

543
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 1: of putting ourselves in that position. You can title the

544
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 1: episode Happily ever After with a lazy river. Um, but

545
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 1: I wanted a dean who's more frugal. You're Kalin. Oh,

546
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: I'm way more frugal than she is. A question. Oh,

547
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 1: he wants to put a lazy river with like a

548
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: mini golf course in his backyard. But if it weren't

549
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 1: for Calin, he would live out the van permanently. Yeah. No,

550
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 1: And Calin is frugal, but she she likes nice things

551
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: and she's not willing to skimp when it comes to

552
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 1: those nice things. She's got like her, she's got her

553
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: standards too. Like when we first moved into the house,

554
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,679
Speaker 1: are master closet. It's like this big walking closet and

555
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: it was just like bare bones, basic, and she like

556
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: first thing, she's like, we're renovating this, and she just

557
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: spent a bunch of money to renovate it, and saying

558
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 1: with the two Ben's uh master bathroom redesigned to She's like,

559
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: we have to redesign the master bathroom, which is like

560
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: a no. It's just so crazy how quickly it adds up.

561
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: So if it weren't for me, kind of like reining

562
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: her back in, I think that she would already have

563
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: a lot of that stuff done. And I'm sure eventually

564
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,199
Speaker 1: it will all get on because she'll get her way

565
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: no matter what. But I'm trying to, like, you know,

566
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 1: rand her back in a little bit with a lot

567
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 1: of that stuff. I mean, when you renovate a bathroom,

568
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: that comes back like threefold. So that's that's a really

569
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:12,959
Speaker 1: good question. And the same of the closet. Like if

570
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 1: someone's gonna buy a high end home, they want to

571
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: trick out walking closets. So that's that's good as well.

572
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:22,160
Speaker 1: You guys want to hear something crazy. Yeah, when we uh,

573
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 1: when we got this house. It's a great house in

574
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: a gray area in a great neighborhood, but it was

575
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: built and uh in the bathroom was the only thing

576
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 1: that the previous homeowner had not done yet because she

577
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: was knowing she wanted to sell, and she's like, I'll

578
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 1: just let the next people choose what they want. And

579
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: here it had carpet from thirty years ago throughout the

580
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 1: whole bathroom. And so when I tore it up, oh yeah,

581
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: not like and I'm not saying just at certain areas.

582
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: It was by the shower, by the toilet, and so

583
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: when I tore it up, there was pieces of previous

584
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 1: homeowners that I shared with them that I I don't

585
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,040
Speaker 1: want to do again. Um, all right, paying Chris, we

586
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: gotta let you go here. Last question for you, any advice,

587
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: um for current homeowners as they enter into this season

588
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: of life where uh things are getting redone, people are

589
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: spending more times in their home. And then also if

590
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: you don't mind closing that thought with where can people

591
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: continue to watch you find you, support you, um that

592
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: are fans of you and excited to hear you on

593
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:28,479
Speaker 1: this podcast. So for me, I think as soon as

594
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: you start, you want to invest in quality materials that

595
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: will last. I've seen a lot of homeowners uh buy

596
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: some cheap deca materials or put in cheap stones or

597
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: cheap lighting, and because they want to save money, but

598
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: the long run, they're gonna have to tear it out,

599
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: redo it, pay for it twice, you know. So save up,

600
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: do it right the first time, build off an area

601
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: and keep building into your backyard or in your home

602
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: the same way. UM. So don't don't skimp because it'll

603
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: it'll come back to bite you in the Yeah. And

604
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: I think always get multiple quotes, like always ask around

605
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: to get multiple quotes. You've got one quote that's super

606
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: high and another quote that's super low. There's something wrong there,

607
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: so you know, do your due diligence and find out

608
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: why why there's such a big difference. But and then

609
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:20,240

629
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: Last time I saw you, my friend, we were at

630
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: a movie theater. It was the the We're not going

631
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 1: to remember the name of that movie, but it was

632
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 1: with a j O app Kje Yes and dude. That

633
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: was the day that the NBA shut its doors because

634
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 1: of COVID and we were in like a movie theater

635
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: with three people, and I remember all of us were like,

636
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: is this gonna be a thing? Fast forward like two

637
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: years later? Crazy, unbelievable, but all right, how do you doing,

638
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 1: a buddy? I am good. It is uh, it is

639
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: chaos over here at our house. As you know, we

640
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 1: have the twins. They're nine weeks old, and um yeah,

641
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: we're surviving. But we've turned a corner. I feel like

642
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 1: we are getting the hang of it. Every day is

643
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: getting a little bit easier. So it is it's going good.

644
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: Like give us like a non sugarcoated version of what

645
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: a day in your life looks like right now, because

646
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: I'm like that it's just like so intimidating to me.

647
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: I thought of having two newborns and then a two

648
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 1: year old. Well, I mean, I have you know, when

649
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 1: we have a Lessie, she's too and she's two and

650
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: two and a half months old, so she's a bundle

651
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: of energy. And then the twins are just kind of

652
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: unpredictable there. We try to keep them on the same

653
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: schedule less sometimes one's like fussy and crying and then

654
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: the other one sleeping. Sometimes they're both crying. Like honestly,

655
00:32:55,440 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: the nights were just terrible for the first six to

656
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 1: seven weeks and now finally the last two nights they

657
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: slept through the night, both of them, and we feel

658
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: like new new parents completely, just because we have so

659
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: much more energy. And but yeah, how's Lauren doing. How's

660
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: she feeling. She's good, she's um, you know, getting back

661
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 1: to working out a little bit, and I think she's

662
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: making some time for herself lately. And um, yeah, luckily

663
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 1: we obviously both work from home, so that makes things

664
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 1: a little bit easier. But it is what I think

665
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 1: with twins more than anything, Uh, you need to both

666
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: be on the same page and dive in and make

667
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 1: it the priority. Otherwise it's just, yeah, it's just too difficult.

668
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 1: So thankfully we have like a good thing going. I

669
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: think we have a good balance as far as um

670
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: helping each other out. Like if one of us is

671
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: having a really tough day, the other one tends to

672
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 1: step in and and be a little bit more proactive,

673
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 1: um and vice versa. So we've been it's been really great.

674
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: I think I already know the answer this question. But

675
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,479
Speaker 1: judging by your answers already, do you think your life

676
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 1: you're in Lord's life changed more after having your first

677
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 1: child or after having the twins? Um, that's actually a

678
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 1: good question. I would say probably more after the first

679
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 1: because we're already parenting a lessie. It's harder. It's definitely harder,

680
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong. But um, you know when you

681
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,319
Speaker 1: go from not having kids and like traveling, well now

682
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: no one's traveling, but you know, I guess pre COVID

683
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 1: traveling and sort of being very spontaneous and you know,

684
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: being out and about all the time, to having kids,

685
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 1: it's just it's just a totally different lifestyle. Um. Now

686
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: we're used to that, but the twins add like another

687
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: layer on top of that, and our day is really structured,

688
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:52,439
Speaker 1: because if it's not structured, it just like doesn't run

689
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 1: smoothly at all. So we we are like if I

690
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 1: get to get out for like fifteen minutes twenty minutes,

691
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 1: or get to work out in like you of like

692
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: you're like so happy that you accomplished that in itself,

693
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 1: which is nuts, alright, question for you. Obviously we're here

694
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: today to talk about like homes and renovating homes and

695
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: exploring the real estate market. You're deep into this and

696
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: you have been for a while. In fact, even as

697
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 1: the Bachelery. I think you told me when we were

698
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 1: in Mexico together, you went right back to work pretty

699
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: quickly because you love your job. What kind of trends

700
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: are you seeing, especially in your area, which is a

701
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 1: hot market right now, like one of the hottest for

702
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 1: new homeowners of all levels, like luxury homes but also

703
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 1: just your you know, just your nice like first home

704
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: kind of buys. Yeah. I think right now the inventory

705
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:42,839
Speaker 1: um is picking up a little bit. I think we're

706
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 1: seeing a little bit I wouldn't say it slow down,

707
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: but more of a plateau in the market um. Whereas

708
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 1: a couple of months ago it was a frenzy. You know,

709
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 1: if you had a buyer, it was so hard to

710
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: find a house. Now, I think it's a little it's

711
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 1: leveled out a little bit. I wouldn't say it's slowing down,

712
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:00,760
Speaker 1: but at least we're kind of catching our breath. And

713
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 1: for us in the Phoenix market, we have a ton

714
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: of people moving here from California, UM, Oregon, Gosh, Texas,

715
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: kind of everywhere. We're the fifth largest city in the US,

716
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 1: so we're and we're growing really quickly. So for US

717
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: UM the market is still really hot, but I wouldn't

718
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 1: say it's as insane as a few months ago. Soon

719
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: because we feel like we don't have a lot of

720
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: space right now, should be like wait till next summer. Yeah, okay,

721
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 1: that's the kicker. So yeah, no one has a No

722
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:33,919
Speaker 1: one has a crystal ball, right, you know. I think

723
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 1: before the election, I told all my friends and I

724
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: sold a lot of property myself. I was like, we

725
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,839
Speaker 1: gotta get out because the market is going to slow

726
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:44,720
Speaker 1: down after the election. But now, interestingly enough, the government

727
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 1: has printed so much money that inflation is going to

728
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 1: start rising, and the only way to curb inflation is

729
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:54,839
Speaker 1: to have UH assets such as real estate. The real

730
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,800
Speaker 1: estate inflation will follow the inflation rate of the dollar,

731
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 1: so you're seeing a lot of wealthy people their money

732
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 1: into real estate right now. Um, because that's the only

733
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 1: way to protect your money. If your money is sitting

734
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,439
Speaker 1: in the bank account right now, it's becoming worth less

735
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: and less. So you're seeing a lot of people throw

736
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: their money into real estate. Um. And the interest rate

737
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: they're so good right now. So if I were you,

738
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 1: I would buy, like today, let's buy the property. Now.

739
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 1: We're laughing at each other because that was probably the

740
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 1: best advice we've gotten from anyone. Yeah, I'm not talking.

741
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,359
Speaker 1: That was the best advice literally, Ashley and I when

742
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 1: you when you were speaking actually and I looked at

743
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 1: internal like, uh, we've we've been We need to really

744
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: change our thought process. Yeah, Hey, why did I think

745
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 1: you guys already owned a house because we put a

746
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 1: reservation on land. Yeah, because we do want to build

747
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 1: one day and we think it's the perfect lot, but

748
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:48,720
Speaker 1: it maybe like five years in the future, just because

749
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 1: like everything right now, like we have so much going on.

750
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 1: We seem to people that would like own a house,

751
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:57,399
Speaker 1: you know, married kids, like they obviously owned something. Nope,

752
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 1: not yet saying it's time to buy like three houses, Yeah,

753
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 1: ere we go or a lot of vans. You know,

754
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. Are you in your van right now?

755
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 1: That's that's where I am. The The thing about the

756
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: van is, uh, while it is technically probably still a

757
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: depreciating asset, I don't get any land with it. So

758
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 1: it's kind of like a lose lose in that sense.

759
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 1: But that is what it is. All the land, when

760
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:24,800
Speaker 1: you drive around, all the all the blm land belongs

761
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: to me whenever. I'm honest. That's pretty nice, I suppose,

762
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I don't know if it was

763
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 1: the best investment. Well it was, it was, but not

764
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 1: for not for inflationary reasons, I guess. Well, is that

765
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 1: one of the reasons that you guys bought your house

766
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 1: in Hawaii? And how often do you expect to be

767
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 1: able to get out there? So I think we'll probably

768
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 1: head there for the summers. So when Lorda and I

769
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: got together, she's like, I'm gonna move to Arizona for you,

770
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:51,280
Speaker 1: but just know that eventually down the line, I'm gonna

771
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 1: need something near the water. She's like, I grew up

772
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,800
Speaker 1: in Virginia Beach and I like to be by the ocean.

773
00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 1: So that was sort of a uh like one of

774
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 1: the boxes I had to check. You know. So we

775
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 1: fell in love with this house in Hawaii because we

776
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 1: got married on Maui. Um. And I actually have an

777
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 1: investment friend who leases it eight months a year, so

778
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 1: it cash you know, it cash flows itself. UM. So

779
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: first and foremost, I think it was a good investment.

780
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: And then the bonus is obviously using it during the

781
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 1: summer months to get out of the heat for Arizona.

782
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 1: Very smart. All right, well, let's dig in a little

783
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:33,800
Speaker 1: bit back to uh to the family questions, um, because

784
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,359
Speaker 1: obviously Jared nationally are entering into that season of life

785
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:41,240
Speaker 1: behave ari um that as people look for their homes,

786
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: do you believe it's healthy for kids to have their

787
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 1: own rooms if possible? I mean, every family is different.

788
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 1: You know, our twins share a room and I'm sure

789
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 1: they will share room for a really long time, or

790
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:54,800
Speaker 1: maybe a lessie in Senta will share room the girls,

791
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 1: and I think that's Um. It all depends on your situation.

792
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 1: And before you go, I do want to ask you, Uh.

793
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 1: First of all, I want to congratulate you on your

794
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 1: beautiful wife and your beauty family. Uh. It's exciting times

795
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 1: for you guys. And I want to ask you something

796
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 1: that definitely nobody else has ever asked you before in

797
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 1: the history of your relationship with Lauren your family. Are

798
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 1: you gonna guys? Are you guys gonna have more kids?

799
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 1: I know you've never gotten this question before, but I figured, Hey,

800
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 1: if you know, somebody's got to ask it. Yeah, I

801
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:28,760
Speaker 1: would say right now, it's a no, you know, because

802
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 1: we're in just in the thick of it. We're in

803
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 1: that newborn fog. It's tough. Every day is hard. And

804
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 1: I always threatened Lauren with a vassect to me, like

805
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 1: every day it's a weird threat. Mari, Like, that's a

806
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:45,240
Speaker 1: really odd You're really losing on that end of the threat.

807
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: You're like, I'm gonna cut out, I'm gonna cut it open.

808
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go through pain for this. It's it's an

809
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 1: interesting tactic. It's almost a threat to yourself. Feels hurtful.

810
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:58,800
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I can't. Even My buddy Troy did it.

811
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 1: He documented the whole thing on well, didn't really like

812
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 1: to show everything, but he like went through the whole

813
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 1: I don't even know um, but he was very open

814
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:07,919
Speaker 1: about it. He said it wasn't a big of a deal.

815
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:10,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think whenever you have a baby,

816
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 1: you have to wait like at least six to eight

817
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 1: months after that baby is born to be able to

818
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 1: decide because I feel like you have amnesia when it

819
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:24,840
Speaker 1: comes to, uh, you know, having kids in the newborn phase,

820
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:26,839
Speaker 1: and then once you're out of that phase, like, oh

821
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 1: that wasn't so bad. Um, So once we're out of

822
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 1: the newborn phase, I will will make a decision as

823
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 1: a family. And right now, as of now, I think

824
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 1: we're good with three. Well, final question for you or

825
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:43,400
Speaker 1: just final thing. We got word that you're joining forces

826
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 1: with tarik el Musa. What's going on there? Are It

827
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 1: seems like a big deal. Yeah. So a lot of

828
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 1: you guys probably know Tark from the show Flip or Flop. Um.

829
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: I actually met his ex Christina and we got in

830
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 1: Tark and I got to talking and we're joining forces.

831
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:04,439
Speaker 1: We're starting a group at the XP Realty So I'm

832
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 1: moving brokerages from remaxed e XP. I'm really excited about it.

833
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 1: It's the fastest growing brokerage right now in the country. Uh.

834
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 1: It is an insane platform. It's basically a profit sharing

835
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:19,840
Speaker 1: brokerage where instead of giving back to those brick and

836
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 1: mortar brokerages that you see. Typically you're you know your

837
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 1: coal bankers, your remax is uh, they profit share with

838
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 1: all their agents, so if you're a producing agent, you

839
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:33,839
Speaker 1: make all that commission split back and then some. UM.

840
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: So it's really interesting and we're gonna be doing a

841
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:38,320
Speaker 1: lot of webinars. We're gonna be a lot of coaching.

Speaker 1: but we let you go. I got one more question

850
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 1: for you, because this is this podcast is sponsored by

851
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 1: gap Home. Who does the decorating in your house and

852
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 1: what's the compromise situation there? Lauren does decorating. Um, she

853
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,319
Speaker 1: she has a really good eye for it. She did

854
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 1: all the decor for the twins room. Our rental houses

855
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 1: are flips. I think that is something that she brings

856
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 1: to the table and really elevates us as a as

857
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 1: a team together. So she definitely has the eye and

858
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 1: I'm more of the numbers guy and selling and buying

859
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:36,919
Speaker 1: side of things. Well, all right, thanks again for joining

864
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 1: did do this thing with four hosts, and just kudos

865
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:56,440
Speaker 1: to all of you for doing a great job. We

866
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 1: have some great guests in this podcast. But before we go,

867
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:01,399
Speaker 1: I know that all of us, as we've mentioned many

868
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 1: times throughout the last hour, are either redecorating our homes,

869
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:08,880
Speaker 1: buying new homes, starting to decorate homes, moving into these homes,

870
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:11,319
Speaker 1: and part of that is making sure that you have

871
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 1: like the essential products that will make this house feel

872
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 1: like a home. Doan, Let's start with you, Uh, all

873
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:21,320
Speaker 1: of us are fans of gap at home. You ordered

874
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 1: some products through them. Why did you order them? And

875
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 1: what did you order? Yeah? Well, Uh, there's one thing

876
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:29,839
Speaker 1: I've noticed in our house that you can never have

877
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:32,879
Speaker 1: too many of, and that is bath towels. I don't

878
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:36,399
Speaker 1: know why, but it whenever you need one the most,

879
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 1: it's always hard to find. And so I made sure

880
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 1: to order a bunch of extra bath towels for Kaitlin

881
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 1: and I for our house in Las Vegas. That way,

882
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: we're never in the predicament where you get out of

883
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 1: a you know, a nice hot shower and you you

884
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 1: don't know where the talent is. So we also got

885
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 1: some kitchen sets because I personally like to take my

886
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 1: time to run the dishwasher, and so you know, we

887
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 1: don't want to be running low on anything in the kitchen.

888
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 1: So we're set in the kitchen, in the bathroom, and

889
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 1: that was kind of like the most important thing for

890
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:04,880
Speaker 1: me to get squared away. How many times do you

891
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:07,360
Speaker 1: use a towel before you wash it? Because Ashley and

892
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:12,399
Speaker 1: I had this conversation last week, and I want to know.

893
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:14,839
Speaker 1: I am sure you guys think my number is clearly high.

894
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 1: I would probably use a towel um three to five

895
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 1: times before what no, two to two to four times

896
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:25,359
Speaker 1: before washing it. Maybe maybe I am wrong, never mind,

897
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 1: but I will I will say I so like I

898
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:33,799
Speaker 1: have my specific twe's Kalin has her towels, and I'll

899
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 1: probably like use my tawel twice, throw it in the hamper,

900
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:38,759
Speaker 1: and then use her towel twice, so she like might

901
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 1: we might be using that one like four times because

902
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:41,319
Speaker 1: I don't even know if she knows that I'm using

903
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:43,799
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. Um, but yeah, I would say

904
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 1: I would say no more than five guys just pause here,

905
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 1: time out. Am I crazy? But like, I don't know

906
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 1: if i'd be like down for Jessica to use my towel.

907
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:58,320
Speaker 1: I love that girl, and like, but like that towel

908
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 1: is my towel, Ashley, and or can you answer this

909
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 1: for us? If Ashley, if Jared used your towel, would

910
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:08,360
Speaker 1: you be a little bit like step off my hairy

911
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:11,359
Speaker 1: body all over it. I'm sure I've used this towel before.

912
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 1: It's like not a big deal. It's just usually he

913
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:16,759
Speaker 1: leaves it really wet, Like it'll be damn what you're

914
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 1: the one who leaves it wet. You get out literally,

915
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 1: I get out of the shower, and we have a

916
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 1: little math called like the mac gets what not the

917
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 1: towel howel does not soaked? It's like you took it

918
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 1: and okay, listen, He's referring to the fact that since

919
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 1: I've been pregnant, I've been keeping the shower door open,

920
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,320
Speaker 1: and because I like having a lot of air everywhere.

921
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 1: Has nothing to do with how wet I get the

922
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:46,440
Speaker 1: towel that I dry my body on. It's your even

923
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:49,919
Speaker 1: your mom. When I talked about this on Instagram, Mom

924
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 1: was like, good, No, your mom is like, that is true.

925
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:55,400
Speaker 1: He does keep his He gets it from his father.

926
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 1: Because I have no idea why friend's towels always so

927
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 1: so yes, it at it. Yeah, I'm sorry you talked

928
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 1: to my mom about my tollowing habits. She just responded,

929
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:08,759
Speaker 1: she fell passionately about this. You posted about this a

930
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,319
Speaker 1: couple of months ago. How did I see this? Help

931
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 1: me understand how this could? How could how could a

932
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 1: towel get more wet when it's like you're you're just

933
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:18,840
Speaker 1: drawing off a body, so get more wet than a

934
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 1: regular That's a good point, Dean Ashley. I don't know

935
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 1: what you do with your towel to make it so wet.

936
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:27,479
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe you overuse the same area so many times.

937
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 1: You need to like disperse the drawing through different parts.

938
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:32,839
Speaker 1: Another really funny thing Jared's has always been Oh my god,

939
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 1: this is so funny. When we first started living together,

940
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't know what the hell he's

941
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:40,480
Speaker 1: doing in the bathroom after a shower, because he would

942
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 1: dry his body off like as if we were as

943
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 1: if it were the car wash. Yer, okay, dry getting

944
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 1: out of the shower, and he liked with like huff

945
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 1: and puff. He'd like, well, let's were at to put

946
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 1: up the explicit warning on the podcast. What is he doing?

947
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, something vigorously. And see I knew as

948
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 1: soon as she said that everybody's going to have their

949
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:08,479
Speaker 1: heads in the gutter. Well because I'm self conscious about

950
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:10,520
Speaker 1: it and insecure about it. So now I take my

951
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 1: time drying myself, even though I like to get in

952
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 1: you know, once I'm out of the shower, like the

953
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:18,799
Speaker 1: door opens up, I started getting cold. I'm like, I'm

954
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 1: not comfortable anymore. Alright, long are your guys showers? Because Jared,

955
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 1: if he has it too, like, if he has the

956
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 1: time time to do it, he can be in there

957
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:31,239
Speaker 1: for an entire thirty minutes. That's a long time. I

958
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 1: would say ten to ten minutes. This is actually a

959
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:38,240
Speaker 1: a Dean lesson for me. Dean told me that I'm

960
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 1: into water conservation right now, especially if in Colorado. Dean

961
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:43,320
Speaker 1: had has told me a few things in my life,

962
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:45,239
Speaker 1: and I love friends who will grab me by the

963
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:48,000
Speaker 1: collar and tell me when I'm wrong. One was I

964
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:51,320
Speaker 1: was using a plastic water bottle at the airport. Dean said, hey, Ben,

965
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 1: as a friend, would you please switch to something usable?

966
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 1: And ever since then I have Uh. Dean's also told me,

967
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:00,880
Speaker 1: you know, we've talked about many times out to wear underwear.

968
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:03,200
Speaker 1: That was a big mistake on Dean's park because I

969
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 1: didn't work out very well for me. I'd no longer

970
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:09,399
Speaker 1: use dryer sheets because of Dean. I pulled away from that.

971
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 1: So I do listen to him. I don't know if

972
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 1: he listens to me. Ever, Hey, back to the back

973
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:16,320
Speaker 1: to the question though, um, because you do have to

974
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:19,279
Speaker 1: go Jared Nashley, what did you order from gap at Home?

975
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 1: We ordered a couple of different things. I really wanted

976
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:24,959
Speaker 1: this Gap Home sixteen piece round black stoneware dinner set.

977
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:27,920
Speaker 1: That's a mouthful, but I love I love mugs. I

978
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 1: don't know why, very odd so many mugs, I know,

979
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:32,279
Speaker 1: but that's why I always want to buy more. So

980
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:34,160
Speaker 1: I was really looking at that, but instead we got

981
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 1: the Gap Home washed, frayed edged, organic cotton quilt. And

982
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:40,399
Speaker 1: why do you think I got that? Because it's very

983
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:42,600
Speaker 1: beautiful and you love blankets, and it's white and it

984
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:46,839
Speaker 1: matches our color scheme. Yeah, and are duve right now?

985
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 1: It's two years old or whatnot. And like a month

986
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:52,640
Speaker 1: into having it, our dog ate a hole into it.

987
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,520
Speaker 1: Then we put a patch over it. It does not

988
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 1: the classic. It's like torn up because Lois has just

989
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 1: bites everything. And we also got the Gap Home. What

990
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:07,880
Speaker 1: is that towel set? Gray mill Millnage, Milage. Well, the

991
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 1: reason we had to get the towel set, even though

992
00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:12,480
Speaker 1: it was on our wedding registry and we got some

993
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:16,399
Speaker 1: really nice towels is because something on what I use

994
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 1: in my face totally ruined those towels towels. They look

995
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 1: like they're seventy four years old. But anyway, so we

996
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:27,280
Speaker 1: got a brand new set. They're gray, they're really cozy,

997
00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:31,359
Speaker 1: very cozy. As Dean says, you can never have enough towels. Well,

998
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:34,359
Speaker 1: team I uh, I did a couple of things. One

999
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:37,279
Speaker 1: is we're really making the basement of this home the

1000
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 1: place that we want to be um and uh, it's

1001
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 1: cool down there. It's nice, it's comfy. And so we

1002
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:44,759
Speaker 1: got a big old couch because the thing we splurged on.

1003
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 1: So I got some throw pillows for that couch. Um,

1004
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:51,839
Speaker 1: some nice blue throw pillows. Um, they're gonna be super comfy.

1005
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 1: I office. I also loaded up on some towels because

1006
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 1: the thing is, we have a we have a lot

1007
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:59,360
Speaker 1: of guests that come through Denver, a lot of people

1008
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:03,280
Speaker 1: moving through and um, in a lot of the towels.

1009
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:04,839
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. I don't know when

1010
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:07,520
Speaker 1: it's appropriate to throw away a towel quite honestly. I

1011
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:09,640
Speaker 1: have towels from when I was like five years old.

1012
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:13,239
Speaker 1: It has been Higgins on it or saw Shark swim team. Well,

1013
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 1: you can't throw that out. You can't throw it out.

1014
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:18,880
Speaker 1: I have beach towels from kindergarten, you know the Aladdin

1015
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 1: and yeah, so like there's just not a need to

1016
00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 1: throw them out. But you do want your guests to

1017
00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:25,719
Speaker 1: have nice, fluffy, comfortable towels. So I want with some

1018
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:28,759
Speaker 1: towels to They're really gonna add to the home. I'm

1019
00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:31,440
Speaker 1: pumped about it here. Okay, I have one thing that

1020
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:33,719
Speaker 1: I really want for this house, guys, and let's end

1021
00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:36,239
Speaker 1: this podcast was saying one thing that you really know

1022
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:38,359
Speaker 1: right now you need for your new home that you

1023
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:41,399
Speaker 1: don't currently have. I need this, and if somebody could

1024
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:42,799
Speaker 1: point me in the right direction, I need one of

1025
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:45,799
Speaker 1: those tub things that go across the tub so you

1026
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 1: can like sit a computer on it, or candles or like, um,

1027
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 1: a coffee cup. I can't find those anywhere, So somebody

1028
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 1: knows where on Amazon? Without that way, I don't. I've

1029
00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:59,120
Speaker 1: never bought anything on Amazon, quite honestly, so I'm about

00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 1: to I'm about to start one of those They're nice.

1031
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 1: You've never bought anything on Amazon, anything off Amazon? No,

1032

Speaker 1: I just I usually like to go to the store.

1033
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:09,799
Speaker 1: And so I'm I'm making a switch in my life.

1034
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:12,640

1037
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:18,360
Speaker 1: and take a bath at our house, you can definitely

1038
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:21,080
Speaker 1: borrow ours. Um. The one thing that I need for

1039
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 1: our house is so Kalin is responsible for decorating the house.

1040
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:29,880
Speaker 1: She gave me one room to decorate myself. It's essentially

1041
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:33,319
Speaker 1: like my my man cave more or less, you know, um,

1042
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:36,680
Speaker 1: and what I really just need in there is just

1043
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:39,600
Speaker 1: a like a decision because like I have all these

1044
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:41,040
Speaker 1: ideas and I know what it kind of like what

1045
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 1: I want to do here and there, but I don't

1046
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:44,800
Speaker 1: know if there's gonna be like flow, and I really

1047
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:47,960
Speaker 1: just need to decide. So like it's not really like

1048
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:49,799
Speaker 1: an actual product that I need. It's more of just

1049
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:52,040
Speaker 1: like a you know, make up your mind sort of thing.

1050
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:55,040
Speaker 1: But that's that's that's all I really need to think. Ashley,

1053
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:07,680
Speaker 1: to like that great nursery. I'm like, that's just very

1054
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:10,120
Speaker 1: stressful for me because we do not have a location

1055
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:13,320
Speaker 1: for first of all, that's not how everybody sounds. Secondly,
