1 00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:06,000 Speaker 1: This is the most dramatic podcast ever and iHeartRadio podcast. 2 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 1: Chris Harrison coming to you from the friendly confines of Austin, Texas. 3 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,799 Speaker 1: Happy Labor Day to all of you. Glad you joined 4 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:18,480 Speaker 1: me on this Labor Day. I hope you've had an 5 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 1: amazing weekend. I hope you're enjoying this national holiday and 6 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,759 Speaker 1: this day off. It is a national holiday, but what 7 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 1: a weird one. I mean, of all the holidays we celebrate, 8 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 1: of all the national holidays, it's just Labor Day. It's 9 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 1: one of you know, Memorial Day, Labor Day, the two 10 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: big holidays we think of that, you know, ones in 11 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,240 Speaker 1: the spring and then the other ones in the fall. 12 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: Memorial Day obviously very understandable. I get meaningful for this country. 13 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 1: The fact that Labor Day is a holiday rooted in 14 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:54,279 Speaker 1: the late nineteenth century when labor activists pushed for a 15 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: federal holiday to recognize the many contributions workers have made 16 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: to America's strength, prosperity, and well being. That's Labor Day. 17 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 1: That's still a holiday where we shut everything down. Half 18 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: the country honestly is going dove hunting because usually September 19 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,400 Speaker 1: first is opening day of dove season and to all 20 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 1: those headed out, be safe and enjoy. It was a 21 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 1: big holiday or for me growing up in Dallas, Texas. 22 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,960 Speaker 1: But the fact that Labor Day is still still a 23 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: thing is really bizarre to me because it's just something 24 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: we do and it's something we say when I was 25 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 1: a kid, and I'm sure many of you are doing 26 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: this probably still today. On Monday. Labor Day is the 27 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: sports tournaments if you have kids, the big Labor Day Tournament. 28 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,119 Speaker 1: I was a soccer player growing up in Dallas and 29 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: we played in the big Plano Labor Day Tournament. I 30 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: think it was in Plano, Texas. I don't know if 31 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: that's still a thing, but I'm sure volleyball, basketball, baseball, soccer, 32 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: football is starting. It's all going on, and so I'm 33 00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: sure for many of you maybe you're on the road 34 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: and you're in it, and those for you know, I 35 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: remember fondly. Really holidays were the time when we would 36 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 1: be traveling. The Houston Thanksgiving soccer tournament, the Memorial Day Tournament, 37 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: the Labor Day tournament, even Easter, a sacred religious holiday. 38 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: Was the Dallas Cup, which is like the second largest 39 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 1: youth tournament in the world, and it's a huge, huge event. 40 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: To play in. It was a huge honor, but it 41 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 1: was all of Easter week. So it's funny. I kind 42 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: of marked my holidays as a kid as these tournaments 43 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 1: went by, but it was time with my family, and 44 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: it's you know, I remember, you know, those times of 45 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,119 Speaker 1: piling into a hotel room and running up and down 46 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: the halls, and you know, swimming in those indoor pools, 47 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: the bacteria domes that are just over chlorinated to death. 48 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: But those were great times in my memory. And I 49 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: had him with my own son when he was playing 50 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: lacrosse or whatever sport, when we would travel, and I 51 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: vividly remember his last lacrosse tournament when he was in 52 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: high school. We were out in Palm Springs, and we 53 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 1: always kind of made a tradition to swing by in 54 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: and Out Burger on the way out of town and 55 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: grab a burger and eat it on the way home. 56 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: And I kind of welled up with tears as I 57 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: looked in, you know, in the back seat, and I 58 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,839 Speaker 1: see this high school kid back there, this man now, 59 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 1: and I realize, this is the last time we're probably 60 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: piling in a hotel room together. It's the last time 61 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 1: we're going to be on the road where I just 62 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: sit for hours on end watching him play sports. And yeah, 63 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: I was sunny and hot and all those things, and 64 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: you're sometimes miserable. But at the same time I miss that. 65 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: I really relish those times, and I kind of I 66 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: am envious of friends that have younger kids and like you, 67 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: I'm like, what are you doing this weekend? Like, oh, 68 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: we're you know, Alexa has a volleyball tournament. We're going 69 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: to watch her play five hundred volleyball games. And I 70 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: envy that because I really enjoyed that time of watching 71 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: my kids compete and watching them win and lose and 72 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: how they took it, and the camaraderie and the friendships 73 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: and the pizza parties and you know, all the goofy 74 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: stuff as well. So if that's what you did this weekend, 75 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: I hope you enjoyed it. I hope you are recovering 76 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: from your sunburn and you have a chance to rehydrate. 77 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 1: For many of us, it was just a day off 78 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: for me, very different labor day now that there are 79 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: no sports. I had a house full of college kids. 80 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: Luckily the kids are only you know, two and a 81 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 1: half three hours away up there in Fort Worth at TCU, 82 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 1: so instead of staying home for their first home game, 83 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: TCU football and college football is on the air. It 84 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: started this weekend. If your alma mater was playing, I 85 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 1: hope it went well. We were rooting for the Frogs. 86 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: Of course, TCU played Colorado and all of the kids, 87 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 1: my son and his roommates, my daughter, her roommate, they 88 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 1: all came into town. So five kids piled in. It's 89 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: amazing how small the house can feel, how quickly, but 90 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: it's a good kind of noise, and it was awesome 91 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: to have them all here and to see your kids 92 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 1: growing in that way. It's a different time. You know, 93 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: they go off and do their own thing now and 94 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 1: they go out, but to hear their conversations, to hear 95 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 1: how they're doing and see how they're doing, it's a 96 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: sense of pride. It's fun. And every stage, you know, 97 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 1: I have friends who have young kids, and I have 98 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: friends who have older kids, and I'm of course in 99 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: that stage as an empty nester, as LZ and I 100 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: are with the kids in college. Every stage is phenomenal. 101 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: When you see them start to walk, when you see 102 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,799 Speaker 1: them start to talk, when you see them start playing 103 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: sports or start theater, whatever stage that you are in, 104 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 1: it's fantastic and drink it in. And I am doing that. 105 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: I'm drinking it in as much as possible because I 106 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: also know, like every other window and every other stage, 107 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: it closes and they move on to the next. And 108 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: you know, this is senior year, so it is the 109 00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,799 Speaker 1: last labor day where my boy will come home from school. 110 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: He's done. My daughter still has a couple more years left. 111 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: But I really try to soak up these moments as 112 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: much as I possibly can. And this weekend was one 113 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,479 Speaker 1: of those where you know, five college kids eating me 114 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: out a house at home and you know, pool towels 115 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 1: and you name it, constantly washing everything and picking things 116 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 1: up when they break. But it's so good and it's 117 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,359 Speaker 1: so wonderful to have that, and I hope you have 118 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: had that as well and had a chance to barbecue 119 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 1: and cook out. This is you know, I go into 120 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: full dad mode, where go shopping before they ever get there, 121 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: over by over purchase barbecue and everything because I know 122 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: these kids, you know, are going to come in and 123 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: absolutely crush it. It's also, by the way, about that 124 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: time and you think this is over right when your 125 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 1: kids go to kindergarten, they're five years old, six years old, whatever, 126 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 1: first grade, kindergarten. It really goes all the way through 127 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 1: elementary school. You know, parents, I'm talking to you that 128 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 1: first week, you are a test tube. You are an incubator. 129 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: The kids have gotten sick. Everybody has gotten back to school. 130 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: There is a you know, herd mentality of getting sick. 131 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: You know, the first colds that pass around and it 132 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: goes from kid to kid to kids. So you got 133 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: the snotty nose kids that are coming home from school, 134 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: and of course they get over it in like two 135 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: or three days. You get it, you go down for 136 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 1: a week or two. It absolutely kicks your butt. That 137 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: definitely happens when the kids are going off to school 138 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: for the first time in elementary school, because let's be honest, 139 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: kids aren't that clean. We can use all the sanitizer 140 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: we want, but unless you're wrapping them up in Sarana wrap, 141 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: that's just kids being kids. So they all come home, 142 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: they've you know, given you their colds, you've been wearing 143 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: it out. Well, that doesn't change because now kids go 144 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: to college and the first couple of weeks, they don't sleep, 145 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: they're not eating right, all of a sudden, they're away 146 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: from you, and their nutrition goes to hell, and so 147 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: does everything else and their sleep patterns, and so you know, 148 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: they call it the dorm cough or the dorm cold. 149 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: You know, they blame it on you know, faulty or 150 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: bad ventilation, but let's be honest, we know where it 151 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: comes from. And so you think you outgrow it, but 152 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: you don't. So you know already both my kids have 153 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:24,119 Speaker 1: fallen prey to it. I'm hoping that you know it's over, 154 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: but no doubt, probably this week I'm expecting to come 155 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: down with it as well. So if your college kids 156 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: are home as well, I'm in the same boat. They 157 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 1: probably were just as sick as your kindergarteners were. And 158 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: if you have kindergarteners, just know that's coming. It doesn't change. 159 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: Kids grow up, but they're still kids. But it's a 160 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: beautiful thing. And I hope that they can stay kids 161 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: as long as possible, because Lord knows, the real world 162 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 1: is coming, and there is enough time to be an adult. 163 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: There's enough time for those life changing decisions and moments 164 00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: in your life that will rock you and shake you. 165 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,079 Speaker 1: So the longer you can keep them a child and 166 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:17,680 Speaker 1: a kid. We all try to do that. I hope 167 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 1: you had a great Labor Day. I certainly did. Elz 168 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: is on the road visiting family, so unfortunately she's not 169 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: here to regale us with her Labor day, but I 170 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 1: know it was a good one because she was with 171 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: the people that she loves very much and they love her, 172 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: and so I guess that goes to show too, you're 173 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: never too old on Labor Day to go back home 174 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,079 Speaker 1: and go visit mom.

You know. Only this woman found this 186 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: camp and it went from I'm going to go visit 187 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: for a day to I'm going to go be a 188 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 1: counselor and really dive in.

And all of the counselors. 191 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: It's not just Lauren. There were some magnificent counselors. And 192 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: we talked to another one, Jesse, who was on the show, 193 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,079 Speaker 1: and Lauren and her. I kind of just tried to 194 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 1: stay out of the way. I tried to ask a 195 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: few poignant questions, but I really wanted to listen to 196 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 1: them talk and share their experience at this camp because 197 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: it really changed them as much as it did the kids. 198 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: But it is so beautiful that stuff like this exists. 199 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 1: And Lord and I talked about charities and God bless 200 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 1: you if you are involved in one, and whatever cause 201 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,959 Speaker 1: it is, you know, it's tragic that there are causes 202 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: that are near and dear to our heart because it 203 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 1: means that you have probably been shaken like that, whether 204 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: it's cancer, youth mental health, which Laura and I are 205 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 1: very involved with, in youth's suicide, which is something that 206 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: is near and dear to our heart. And thank God, 207 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 1: there are people who have been shaken by things and 208 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: then take that and do something with it and try 209 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 1: to change the world and make things better. And Lauren 210 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: is one of those people, as are all these counselors 211 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: and the people that have been running these experience camps 212 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: for so long.
