<v Speaker 1>This episode of Get Real Podcast with Caroline Brian is

0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:44.599
<v Speaker 1>so much fun. I love Caroline. I recently discovered her

0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:47.839
<v Speaker 1>Instagram page early last year and I've been hooked. She

0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:50.479
<v Speaker 1>is so stundenly beautiful. But more than that, she's a

0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:53.840
<v Speaker 1>prankster and she pranks her entire family. She does the

0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:57.320
<v Speaker 1>wildest things, from stuffing herself in a life size Teddy bear,

0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:01.520
<v Speaker 1>putting snakes and refrigerators, jumping on hucks Is, putting Figurenai

0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:03.920
<v Speaker 1>polish on a bar of soap and watching Luke lather

0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:06.399
<v Speaker 1>up on with it and wondering what's going on. She

0:01:06.480 --> 0:01:10.440
<v Speaker 1>puts it all on Instagram and hysterical. Also, Luke's mom, Leclaire,

0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:14.000
<v Speaker 1>is a huge character in all of caroline stories. Leclaire

0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:17.200
<v Speaker 1>straight out of a movie. She is so hysterical, her

0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:20.720
<v Speaker 1>dance moves, just her whole personality. You have to follow

0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:23.400
<v Speaker 1>along because it's sheer joy. We also talk all about

0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:26.480
<v Speaker 1>Caroline and Luke's love story. It's so sweet. Luke was

0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:29.640
<v Speaker 1>the second guy Caroline's ever kissed, and hearing their journey

0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:32.680
<v Speaker 1>is incredible. And beyond that, we talked about how Caroline

0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:35.080
<v Speaker 1>and Luke have dealt with some serious tragedy. Both of

0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Luke's siblings passed away. Caroline and Luke stepped in and

0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:41.240
<v Speaker 1>are helping to raise and support his sister's children who

0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:43.920
<v Speaker 1>are in high school and college, as well as raising

0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:47.720
<v Speaker 1>their own two young boys. Caroline's brother also lost his

0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:50.480
<v Speaker 1>daughter at a really young age. Her name was Brett,

0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:53.160
<v Speaker 1>and in honor of Brett, Caroline had promised her a

0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:55.840
<v Speaker 1>pony when she was one years old. So Caroline and

0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:59.040
<v Speaker 1>her family started Brett's Barn, which is a barn that

0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:02.080
<v Speaker 1>has all sorts of animals where kids with disabilities and

0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:05.320
<v Speaker 1>sickness can come and pet the animals and feel happiness

0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:08.919
<v Speaker 1>and joy. And it's also so Brett's legacy and memory

0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:11.400
<v Speaker 1>will never die and it will live on forever. The

0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:14.520
<v Speaker 1>way that Caroline and Luke have navigated their life and

0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:18.040
<v Speaker 1>gone through such hard times and still found joy and

0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:22.720
<v Speaker 1>love and humor and fun, it's just nothing short of inspiring.

0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:26.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling you, Caroline's faith in God is so inspiring.

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:31.160
<v Speaker 1>This episode touched my heart so much it maybe laugh.

0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:34.760
<v Speaker 1>It made me feel everything. And I'm just so happy

0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:36.960

<v Speaker 1>that's all right. How you doing awesome? You're coming fresh

0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:54.880
<v Speaker 1>off a tennis match? Yes, yes, it was good. So sorry,

0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:57.320
<v Speaker 1>I was a little like, you look great to become

0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:00.399
<v Speaker 1>You got your like cute spank shiny pants on. Oh

0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:02.679
<v Speaker 1>well I did. I brushed my hair in the car

0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:05.760
<v Speaker 1>and I put on some gloves. But I suppose as

0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:09.079
<v Speaker 1>good as it kids these days. Sorry, it's looking good.

0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:11.800
<v Speaker 1>Look like I've been a street fight and I got

0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:15.000
<v Speaker 1>my ask kicks. Sorry, but you actually were the champion

0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:17.560
<v Speaker 1>of the tennis match. We did win? Yes, was it

0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:20.680
<v Speaker 1>a close match or like? It was? So that's why

0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:22.799
<v Speaker 1>it took a lot long time. But it was good.

0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:25.160
<v Speaker 1>It was fun. It's my outlet, so I get to

0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:27.840
<v Speaker 1>hit a ball instead of hitting instead of hitting a

0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:31.200
<v Speaker 1>child or luke. I like when I walk in, you

0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:33.920
<v Speaker 1>asked you where are the kids? And he's like half

0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:36.440
<v Speaker 1>of them are on the snowpile, and where's the other half.

0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:43.360
<v Speaker 1>The other half upstairs, I don't know snowpile. Okay, so

0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:47.920
<v Speaker 1>this is I'm not lying. So my children are obsessed

0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:52.040
<v Speaker 1>with snow because we loved to ski and which I

0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:54.200
<v Speaker 1>saw you had a trip up there for day we did.

0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:56.360
<v Speaker 1>We had it was the best trip I think we've

0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:58.960
<v Speaker 1>ever had as a family because the kids are finally

0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:03.200
<v Speaker 1>our kids are well, our kids and our nieces so

0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:09.000
<v Speaker 1>everybody is seventeen, ten and eight. So I feel like

0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:13.320
<v Speaker 1>we've made it through the really hard part, which is

0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:16.120
<v Speaker 1>having a baby and infant and all that stuff. So

0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:18.680
<v Speaker 1>now they're like they can kind of function, so I

0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:21.160
<v Speaker 1>can tell them to go put their ski clothes on,

0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:23.920
<v Speaker 1>because if you ever put ski clothes on a baby

0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:28.120
<v Speaker 1>or a child? Did you attempt skiing with babies? So

0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:30.000
<v Speaker 1>we did it? Did you like strapping? What do you

0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:33.760
<v Speaker 1>and go skiing? Loose people? Luke put a halter on

0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:36.520
<v Speaker 1>him and went down the mountain. See that's how they

0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:38.880
<v Speaker 1>learned how to skip. But what if he would have fallen.

0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:40.919
<v Speaker 1>He's not going to fall. He's a great scare. He

0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:42.520
<v Speaker 1>just knows he's not gonna fall. So I would just

0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:44.880
<v Speaker 1>stay behind Luke and I would just panic the whole

0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:47.720
<v Speaker 1>time because thinking they're gonna fall, but we go do

0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:51.279
<v Speaker 1>like blacks and stuff. What's not not when he was

0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:54.760
<v Speaker 1>teaching them. But now my eight year old can do

0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:57.400
<v Speaker 1>blacks and my ten year old can do black. So

0:04:57.440 --> 0:04:59.719
<v Speaker 1>I do blacks with my ten year old. See, to me,

0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:02.440
<v Speaker 1>I never really seed growing up. So I've ski maybe

0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:03.960
<v Speaker 1>like four or five times, and I can do like

0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:07.120
<v Speaker 1>blues in a constant snowplow. But every time I'm doing it,

0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:10.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, this is a suicide mission, Like this is

0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:14.720
<v Speaker 1>how people? How is this something that the world raises?

0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:17.320
<v Speaker 1>Because this, to me is so you just have to go.

0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:20.160
<v Speaker 1>I just tell them to go side to side, just go,

0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:23.120
<v Speaker 1>just go side to side. But they can fly because

0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:25.760
<v Speaker 1>they're so they're small. So if you have you seen

0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:28.240
<v Speaker 1>the kids who do it and they're so tiny and

0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:31.000
<v Speaker 1>they can just fly because they're so small, they can

0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:35.200
<v Speaker 1>handle it. But we're not working. Hey, what's up? So

0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:38.760
<v Speaker 1>here's my come here's siventeen it year old? Till did

0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:42.080
<v Speaker 1>you go skiing? Also? Can you say, hey, come tell?

0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:45.279
<v Speaker 1>How are you one of those uh skiers that goes

0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:50.080
<v Speaker 1>like he's ridiculous? Yes, yeah, yeah, you know he can

0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:57.599
<v Speaker 1>say hi on this, Till doesn't so well till Till's here. Now,

0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:01.080
<v Speaker 1>till Till does jumps, and so I'll just stand there

0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:05.520
<v Speaker 1>and I'll just be nervous as hell. But he does jumps,

0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:07.560
<v Speaker 1>and you're never worried that you're going to fall and

0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:12.800
<v Speaker 1>hurt yourself. Well, you're young. You have to start when

0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:14.200
<v Speaker 1>you're young, because if you don't start with you're young,

0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:16.120
<v Speaker 1>if you start like me when you're old, it just

0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:18.400
<v Speaker 1>feels like every single time I'm on the slope and

0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:22.400
<v Speaker 1>how this is crazy that people do this, and they

0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:25.520
<v Speaker 1>do it and he's great, but Till's also people don't

0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:28.920
<v Speaker 1>know till seventeen and six four. So if he falls,

0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:31.839
<v Speaker 1>it's a long way to fall, a long way. Taitan

0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:35.320
<v Speaker 1>bow were a little bit smaller. But Till he'll just

0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:38.520
<v Speaker 1>fly and it's it's scary, but he's a great skier.

0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:43.120
<v Speaker 1>So have you always ski too? No? I never skied, okay, bye, tail,

0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:48.920
<v Speaker 1>I never skied. I never skid, Oh my gosh, until

0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:52.400
<v Speaker 1>I was good. Lord, I guess I've been skiing for

0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:55.720
<v Speaker 1>about we go every year, and that's y'all saying, I

0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:59.560
<v Speaker 1>guess it's been like but ten years now. I guess

0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:03.160
<v Speaker 1>maybe eight ten years and Tait and both start to

0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:06.600
<v Speaker 1>skiing when they were both about three and they just

0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:10.640
<v Speaker 1>they love it. So we just we go here every year.

0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:13.480
<v Speaker 1>So why was this the best family trip ever? Because

0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:16.000
<v Speaker 1>they're finally at the age where I don't have to

0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:19.360
<v Speaker 1>dress them. So to all the moms out out there,

0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:22.360
<v Speaker 1>when if you have small children, if it's your first

0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:27.440
<v Speaker 1>skate trip, do not put ski clothes on. Okay, before

0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:30.920
<v Speaker 1>you dress your child. You will die. You don't put

0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:33.400
<v Speaker 1>your own skis. Don't It's like being an asana, because

0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:35.200
<v Speaker 1>then you will not work out ahead of time. You

0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:38.520
<v Speaker 1>will die. I learned that the hard way. And so

0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:41.560
<v Speaker 1>but once everybody, and then once you're trying to teach

0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:43.920
<v Speaker 1>your children how to ski, you kind of have to

0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:45.720
<v Speaker 1>stand there and pick them up as they fall down.

0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:47.520
<v Speaker 1>You gotta pick them up and they fall down, so

0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:50.760
<v Speaker 1>you can't really ski. But now my kids are great skiers.

0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:53.760
<v Speaker 1>So we just go and we just ski all day

0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:57.880
<v Speaker 1>and the kids fall maybe once and that's it. And

0:07:57.880 --> 0:07:59.320
<v Speaker 1>then we go get in a hot tub and have

0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:01.200
<v Speaker 1>a drink, and then kids hopping the pool. And I

0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:02.920
<v Speaker 1>saw you having some drinks on the way up to

0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:08.120
<v Speaker 1>the ski slopes. We did we did. We did. I

0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:10.720
<v Speaker 1>actually think it's smart because it keeps a little bit

0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:15.120
<v Speaker 1>loose loosen. Yeah, and so but what I Okay, so

0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:18.200
<v Speaker 1>I was telling Caroline this earlier. I the best thing

0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:20.800
<v Speaker 1>that's ever happened to me is discovering your Instagram page.

0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Because I always like, would see you at award shows

0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:26.680
<v Speaker 1>and see you on red carpets and a You're just

0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:29.280
<v Speaker 1>a bombshell and you are like a knockout, and so

0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:31.600
<v Speaker 1>you're kind of like so beautiful that you're intimidating because

0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:36.680
<v Speaker 1>you're so beautiful and you're just like a perfect looking person.

0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:41.760
<v Speaker 1>But then I discovered your Instagram and I was like,

0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:46.120
<v Speaker 1>oh m G, you're the funniest person that I have

0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:49.160
<v Speaker 1>ever seen. You're twelve days of pranks, Like you have

0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:51.439
<v Speaker 1>to talk to the people about how you started this.

0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:54.439
<v Speaker 1>I found these and like I showed them to all

0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:57.400
<v Speaker 1>my band family. One night, Michael and I drank like

0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:00.480
<v Speaker 1>two bottles of wine and watched the Instagram age and

0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:03.440
<v Speaker 1>the pranks and cried laughing because it was so funny.

0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:07.559
<v Speaker 1>I've never seen someone who pranks so hard. Well, okay, well,

0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:13.040
<v Speaker 1>so here's the honest truth. So my family, we we've

0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:19.360
<v Speaker 1>always done we've always done. Your dad, I did it.

0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:21.800
<v Speaker 1>I would have called. He had no clue, he didn't

0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:24.000
<v Speaker 1>know where it came from. I think you thought it

0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:26.280
<v Speaker 1>was my brother's son who did it, because that's who

0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:29.080
<v Speaker 1>he was holding. He was holding my brother and my

0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:31.400
<v Speaker 1>sister in law's child, who was at the time was

0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:35.480
<v Speaker 1>three months. But okay, so my family, like we we've

0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:40.480
<v Speaker 1>if if people could see the footage I have it

0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:43.800
<v Speaker 1>is there's Oh my god, I could sell it for

0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:47.920
<v Speaker 1>there's there's no telling. So y'all grow up pranking and

0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:52.199
<v Speaker 1>we've always done that. I've always done it um our

0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:55.320
<v Speaker 1>family here like we just do the craziest stuff. But

0:09:55.360 --> 0:10:00.600
<v Speaker 1>it's not anyway. So my niece, who's the oldest Jordan's

0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:03.280
<v Speaker 1>she told me a while back, because I'm still new

0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:06.880
<v Speaker 1>to like social media, I'm still new, and I just

0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:09.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't post a lot because I just don't. I

0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:11.720
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I got the one with Luke with the

0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:17.360
<v Speaker 1>soap because it won't lather. So they stand in the

0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:20.400
<v Speaker 1>shower and they're trying to get it to ladder won't

0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:25.199
<v Speaker 1>so with clear fear not all you have to do.

0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:28.080
<v Speaker 1>And then Luke's over there the shower going o don't

0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:31.480
<v Speaker 1>I think this is maybe what's wrong? Does it smell funny?

0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:33.120
<v Speaker 1>And then he came out, he goes, are you joking

0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:34.840
<v Speaker 1>on me? And I had to cut the camera because

0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:37.440
<v Speaker 1>I knew he was about to walk out, which a

0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:39.760
<v Speaker 1>lot of girls have asked me for footage of that

0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:43.560
<v Speaker 1>and I cannot give them that. But my niece goes

0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:48.200
<v Speaker 1>and Caroline, your instagram is lame. No, damn, Jordan, I'm sorry.

0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:51.320
<v Speaker 1>She goes, just just be you. Put put more out

0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:55.320
<v Speaker 1>there because I started. I took the Instagram public because

0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:58.680
<v Speaker 1>to bring awareness to our charity. So that's why I

0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:01.720
<v Speaker 1>did so, that's why I at it. But so she

0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:04.440
<v Speaker 1>told me, she goes, just be you, who cares about

0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:08.200
<v Speaker 1>what anybody thinks? And so I was like, okay. So

0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:12.600
<v Speaker 1>I was home on a Friday. Luke was in the

0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:16.440
<v Speaker 1>bar where we're sitting there, Literally I have seen an airhorn.

0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:18.959
<v Speaker 1>I was like, he was here on the phone. Yeah,

0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:21.920
<v Speaker 1>he got he thought it was a kid that did it.

0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:26.600
<v Speaker 1>What is that? Whatever the hell? He said, I don't

0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:28.800
<v Speaker 1>know it. So that's where it started. But then I

0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:30.720
<v Speaker 1>was like, okay, well I'll just do so then you

0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:32.800
<v Speaker 1>did like a whole series of air horns and you

0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:35.440
<v Speaker 1>did you air horns everyone in your family and and

0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:39.080
<v Speaker 1>friends and their reactions were insane. Know they hated me.

0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:41.920
<v Speaker 1>Another favorite character I have in y'all's family is Luke's

0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:47.520
<v Speaker 1>mom Leclair. Yes, how is like? How about that name?

0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:51.040
<v Speaker 1>To be true? She is? Does she know how funny

0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:54.480
<v Speaker 1>she is? She does, and she owns it. So do

0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:58.360
<v Speaker 1>you remember the um she might be? The I started

0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:00.440
<v Speaker 1>following her, She's a mess. What she do like a

0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:03.640
<v Speaker 1>weekly video, like to give us a weekly dose of her,

0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:07.280
<v Speaker 1>and she typically makes us do something because she's around.

0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:10.000
<v Speaker 1>She's like, I don't know how to post, like, yes

0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:12.839
<v Speaker 1>you do, but like she's like me, she just didn't

0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:16.120
<v Speaker 1>think about it a lot. But she knows she's funny.

0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:19.120
<v Speaker 1>But do you remember the character for them from the

0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:23.920
<v Speaker 1>Palmark card? Maxine? She was the old lady sitting on

0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:27.640
<v Speaker 1>smoking a cigarette, drinking her coffee. I call her Maxine.

0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:34.000
<v Speaker 1>She's Maccine because she's just she says, there is no filter, none,

0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:39.720
<v Speaker 1>there is no filter. She says whatever she thinks. Dancing.

0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:42.080
<v Speaker 1>I feel like she's got a good cocktail in her

0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:45.360
<v Speaker 1>hand a lot of times. I mean maybe not just beer,

0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:48.280
<v Speaker 1>just beer. I saw one post and she had like,

0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:50.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I've stopped he page so hard because it

0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:53.320
<v Speaker 1>made me laugh. So she was just so in that post,

0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:56.160
<v Speaker 1>she's like four cases of and your son in the car.

0:12:56.440 --> 0:13:01.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh god, yes, no bud light which if hey if

0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:04.480
<v Speaker 1>but almost a sponsor her, she'll take it. Leclaire is

0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:07.320
<v Speaker 1>open for business. She'll be the happiest person ever. But

0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:12.040
<v Speaker 1>so she just so she drinks only but like so

0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:16.040
<v Speaker 1>she was joking with Luke, okay, trying to make him

0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:18.920
<v Speaker 1>think she was drunk, and so she so it was

0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:21.200
<v Speaker 1>a joke, but so she had on like a somebro

0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:25.839
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, and he goes, what are you doing? And

0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:28.160
<v Speaker 1>that's when she went and just trying to have fun

0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:30.720
<v Speaker 1>and he bought it, which I'm like, you should know

0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:33.840
<v Speaker 1>your mom better than that, because but he seriously thought

0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:35.880
<v Speaker 1>his mom was drunk. So do y'all team up together

0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:37.720
<v Speaker 1>like you and Leclair and go after people or is it?

0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:42.480
<v Speaker 1>I feel like it could be just deadly in this

0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:45.599
<v Speaker 1>house with the humor. Who's who's the one that's instigated

0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:50.720
<v Speaker 1>than most? Is it you? Yes? Unfortunately, like one of

0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:54.080
<v Speaker 1>your pranks, you got in a huge teddy bear that

0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:56.720
<v Speaker 1>was me and then people would walk by and you

0:13:56.720 --> 0:13:58.560
<v Speaker 1>would jump out and scare him, like, how do you

0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:01.080
<v Speaker 1>even think of this stuff? Don't know. I guess I've

0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:06.280
<v Speaker 1>just we've always done crazy stuff. And I don't know.

0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:09.280
<v Speaker 1>I think I was. I think I was scrolling through

0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:13.760
<v Speaker 1>Amazon one not and I saw this life size Teddy Bear.

0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:16.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, this would be I'm going to buy that

0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:19.080
<v Speaker 1>and I'm going to jump out of it. I don't know.

0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:23.960
<v Speaker 1>It's probably after three glasses of wine, so a little

0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:27.240
<v Speaker 1>bit weird, But I don't know. I mean, I just

0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:29.400
<v Speaker 1>have to say that I appreciate it, and I know

0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:34.360
<v Speaker 1>everyone else that's too because it is so hysterical. And

0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:36.400
<v Speaker 1>the snake one another one where you put snakes in

0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:40.600
<v Speaker 1>the fridge, Yes, and that back that that backfired on me.

0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:45.600
<v Speaker 1>I am petrified of snakes, like petrified of snakes. I

0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:47.680
<v Speaker 1>don't want to see a dead one. I don't I

0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:49.920
<v Speaker 1>don't want to see one that's a rubber. I don't

0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:53.320
<v Speaker 1>want to see it. And Luke he pranked me once

0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:55.280
<v Speaker 1>he bought a snake in the house and I think

0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:59.800
<v Speaker 1>I put it on Instagram and I it was a

0:14:59.840 --> 0:15:05.360
<v Speaker 1>lot I have snake and I just yes, oh my gosh, yes,

0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:07.280
<v Speaker 1>it was like a king snake or something. But I

0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:09.400
<v Speaker 1>don't care what it is. I don't want it around me.

0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:11.600
<v Speaker 1>And he he bought it in the house. He was

0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:15.720
<v Speaker 1>holding it, so I guess that was your seeing quickly.

0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:20.320
<v Speaker 1>He did that first. This was last spring, so he

0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:22.880
<v Speaker 1>did it first. So that's when you know, I got

0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:24.920
<v Speaker 1>a paying back. So is this house just like a

0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:26.760
<v Speaker 1>fun house all the time? Are there just tons of

0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:29.760
<v Speaker 1>people in here constantly? Yes, there are always people in

0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:32.120
<v Speaker 1>here with Um we have three boys in the house,

0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:35.200
<v Speaker 1>so they always have friends over you till your nephew

0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:37.560
<v Speaker 1>who just walked in. He's a seventeen year old, sevente

0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:42.000
<v Speaker 1>he's a junior high school. He is on the dating scene,

0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:45.720
<v Speaker 1>he is. How's that going? It's good, I mean, because

0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:49.360
<v Speaker 1>he's so cute steels, so he's I mean, my god,

0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:55.440
<v Speaker 1>he's seventeen six four, he's so cute. Um, it's good.

0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:57.560
<v Speaker 1>But I mean, you know, he's he's never been like

0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:00.760
<v Speaker 1>he's he's never juggled like a bunch of girls at once.

0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:05.640
<v Speaker 1>He didn't do that. Um, he's just he's sweet. And

0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:08.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but usually it's more full of boys

0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:11.960
<v Speaker 1>than it is girls. So thank god, I'm not sure

0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:15.600
<v Speaker 1>how I would handle the other way around. There was

0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:18.480
<v Speaker 1>one time that I didn't handle it well. Some girls

0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:22.600

0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:46.000
<v Speaker 1>we're just hanging out. I was a freshman. I didn't

0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:50.000
<v Speaker 1>love at first sect Um for me, No, I was terrified.

0:18:50.359 --> 0:18:52.160
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know what the hell was happening. I mean,

0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:54.199
<v Speaker 1>I just it was like my first time in a

0:18:54.240 --> 0:18:57.119
<v Speaker 1>bar like I didn't. I was so sheltered growing up.

0:18:57.119 --> 0:19:01.000
<v Speaker 1>I grew up in a small town. Where'd you grow up? Sandersville, Georgia,

0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:03.639
<v Speaker 1>very small town. It's the Kaolan capital of the world,

0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:08.080
<v Speaker 1>the wet capital of Kaol and chalk chalk like so

0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:12.520
<v Speaker 1>everything's white, like just for chalkboards. Well, so it's like

0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:15.160
<v Speaker 1>a chalk mine. So it goes in everything like medicine,

0:19:15.880 --> 0:19:19.280
<v Speaker 1>in the air, chalk everywhere. It can be. Yeah, it's

0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:22.800
<v Speaker 1>not typically no, but it can be. But no, it's

0:19:22.600 --> 0:19:25.879
<v Speaker 1>it's not bad. But um, very small town. I went

0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:28.480
<v Speaker 1>to a small private school, had the same boyfriend. I

0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:31.439
<v Speaker 1>had the same the same buck guy. Yeah that you know.

0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:34.080
<v Speaker 1>He came from a great family and we still we're

0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:36.640
<v Speaker 1>still friends and he's married to the sweetest girl ever.

0:19:37.200 --> 0:19:40.359
<v Speaker 1>So um. So I go off to college and he

0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:42.280
<v Speaker 1>and I had datus since we were in the eighth grade.

0:19:42.359 --> 0:19:45.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god. So um we all decided to break out.

0:19:46.040 --> 0:19:48.720
<v Speaker 1>We agreed to go our separate ways and just see

0:19:48.760 --> 0:19:51.720
<v Speaker 1>what what was out there. That's terrifying and so yeah,

0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:53.520
<v Speaker 1>so I didn't know. Luke was the second guy I'd

0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:57.520
<v Speaker 1>ever kissed in my life. Ever, yeah. So I meet

0:19:57.600 --> 0:20:00.200
<v Speaker 1>Luke in a bar and he's like and he such

0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:02.520
<v Speaker 1>a big like personality. I was staring at him, like

0:20:02.600 --> 0:20:05.679
<v Speaker 1>is this guy for real? Because he acts, he is

0:20:05.720 --> 0:20:08.240
<v Speaker 1>how he is, like even back in the day, he's

0:20:08.520 --> 0:20:11.520
<v Speaker 1>he's never been different. Well, now that I know Leclair,

0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:14.800
<v Speaker 1>I do not doubt that's where he that's where he

0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:18.080
<v Speaker 1>gets his stuff. I'm like, Cam, it is not fake.

0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:21.200
<v Speaker 1>It is real. It is totally real. But he's um

0:20:21.200 --> 0:20:23.119
<v Speaker 1>so he but he was so sweet. So he and

0:20:23.160 --> 0:20:26.280
<v Speaker 1>I tried to be friends for a couple of weeks.

0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:30.120
<v Speaker 1>That didn't last. Song we you know, we kissed and

0:20:30.320 --> 0:20:34.480
<v Speaker 1>so did you start falling after the initial like I

0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:37.520
<v Speaker 1>did him and you know, just I knew liked him,

0:20:37.520 --> 0:20:40.040
<v Speaker 1>but we're like, let's just I was like, Okay, he

0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:42.440
<v Speaker 1>can be a guy friend because that's the last thing

0:20:42.480 --> 0:20:44.800
<v Speaker 1>I was trying to find was to date something that

0:20:44.920 --> 0:20:47.600
<v Speaker 1>just broke up with your boyfriend, Like it was weird,

0:20:47.760 --> 0:20:51.159
<v Speaker 1>and it was weird. So he not dated for like

0:20:51.880 --> 0:20:56.560
<v Speaker 1>a year and a half and then I get I

0:20:56.640 --> 0:20:59.560
<v Speaker 1>got freaked out because he was talking about marriage and

0:20:59.640 --> 0:21:02.119
<v Speaker 1>so he was ready. Yeah, and I was like, I

0:21:02.160 --> 0:21:06.400
<v Speaker 1>cannot go my entire life and not be single. I've

0:21:06.440 --> 0:21:10.280
<v Speaker 1>got to and so we we separated for over four years.

0:21:10.280 --> 0:21:15.680
<v Speaker 1>How is that it was us? Breaking up? Was horrible?

0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:19.639
<v Speaker 1>Hephomore when I was, I was a sophomore. It was

0:21:19.720 --> 0:21:24.879
<v Speaker 1>Christmas of my sophomore year, and no, he was he

0:21:25.400 --> 0:21:29.159
<v Speaker 1>was graduating, so he was leaving school. Okay, so he

0:21:29.280 --> 0:21:30.959
<v Speaker 1>was out of there and you were. So you finished

0:21:30.960 --> 0:21:34.320
<v Speaker 1>off college single? How were those single years? They were fine?

0:21:34.359 --> 0:21:37.399
<v Speaker 1>You know, I dated to to other guys, Like I

0:21:37.520 --> 0:21:40.760
<v Speaker 1>called two other boys a boyfriend, but I had tons

0:21:40.760 --> 0:21:43.280
<v Speaker 1>of like you know, dates and like first dates, but

0:21:43.520 --> 0:21:47.480
<v Speaker 1>nobody compared. No, I mean, he was always these I

0:21:47.520 --> 0:21:50.399
<v Speaker 1>always knew Luke was the sweetest and the best I

0:21:50.440 --> 0:21:54.439
<v Speaker 1>always hands down. I always knew it. But at the

0:21:54.520 --> 0:21:56.960
<v Speaker 1>time when we were a part, you know, I was,

0:21:58.480 --> 0:22:01.400
<v Speaker 1>I just wasn't ready for that. I just I wasn't

0:22:01.400 --> 0:22:04.080
<v Speaker 1>ready to be like in love yeah and forever. And

0:22:04.119 --> 0:22:08.119
<v Speaker 1>then we met spontaneously after college. He was playing at

0:22:08.119 --> 0:22:10.840
<v Speaker 1>a bar that I was at. Had no clue he

0:22:10.880 --> 0:22:12.880
<v Speaker 1>was playing there, So y'all weren't even planning on trying

0:22:12.880 --> 0:22:14.919
<v Speaker 1>to get back together. Like it was a break and

0:22:15.000 --> 0:22:17.760
<v Speaker 1>over and done and like everyone's moving on. You're not

0:22:17.800 --> 0:22:22.199
<v Speaker 1>really talking we talked a little bit through email or

0:22:22.240 --> 0:22:24.600
<v Speaker 1>if he would come play at college. We talked a

0:22:24.600 --> 0:22:27.480
<v Speaker 1>little bit, but he always take in touch with my brother,

0:22:28.359 --> 0:22:31.560
<v Speaker 1>so hit an inside. So I always knew like where

0:22:31.600 --> 0:22:33.879
<v Speaker 1>he was, what he was doing. And it was funny.

0:22:34.480 --> 0:22:37.080
<v Speaker 1>He had the nerve once in college to bring a

0:22:37.119 --> 0:22:39.320
<v Speaker 1>girl that he was dating to my house in college

0:22:39.480 --> 0:22:41.919
<v Speaker 1>for a pre party. So you were having a pre

0:22:42.000 --> 0:22:44.680
<v Speaker 1>party and he now was called pre game or something?

0:22:44.760 --> 0:22:48.600
<v Speaker 1>Is it called pre game? Yeah, I'm not I don't know, folks,

0:22:48.640 --> 0:22:51.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but we called it a pre party.

0:22:51.600 --> 0:22:55.240
<v Speaker 1>He walked in my house with a girl he was dating. Well, well,

0:22:55.280 --> 0:22:58.359
<v Speaker 1>well I got pissed and I left your own house

0:22:58.359 --> 0:23:01.360
<v Speaker 1>and party. I did. I love it at else I did.

0:23:01.440 --> 0:23:04.560
<v Speaker 1>I left. I was like the hell, I'm not even

0:23:04.600 --> 0:23:08.800
<v Speaker 1>sure what girl it was, but I guess the message

0:23:08.800 --> 0:23:11.560
<v Speaker 1>was sent. It means the feelings were still there. I guess.

0:23:11.640 --> 0:23:14.080
<v Speaker 1>See I left. I was like, I'm not gonna hang around.

0:23:14.160 --> 0:23:16.360
<v Speaker 1>Was like, I was like, I hope this bitch goes

0:23:16.840 --> 0:23:19.399
<v Speaker 1>in my room and sees pictures because I think I

0:23:19.400 --> 0:23:21.520
<v Speaker 1>saw a picture up at Luke. I don't even know,

0:23:22.000 --> 0:23:24.879
<v Speaker 1>but um, yeah, but after that, but yeah, but he

0:23:24.920 --> 0:23:26.720
<v Speaker 1>and I met he was playing at a bar that

0:23:26.800 --> 0:23:30.320
<v Speaker 1>I was because I was in town working and he

0:23:30.440 --> 0:23:33.400
<v Speaker 1>was playing the bar. And where are you living at

0:23:33.400 --> 0:23:35.879
<v Speaker 1>this point? I was living in Making, Georgia. Okay, so

0:23:35.960 --> 0:23:39.440
<v Speaker 1>that is not the same place with But I went

0:23:39.480 --> 0:23:42.760
<v Speaker 1>to Statesboro, which our college town, because I worked there.

0:23:42.840 --> 0:23:45.320
<v Speaker 1>I was a drugger up and my brother was still

0:23:45.359 --> 0:23:47.440
<v Speaker 1>in college, and so I was just gonna stay there

0:23:47.480 --> 0:23:49.960
<v Speaker 1>overnight because I had to get up early and worked there.

0:23:51.240 --> 0:23:54.320
<v Speaker 1>So um, and he goes, well, guess who's playing in town?

0:23:55.080 --> 0:23:57.800
<v Speaker 1>And I said, okay, well I'll go for like an hour.

0:23:57.960 --> 0:24:02.520
<v Speaker 1>And then I saw him playing and something was different. Okay,

0:24:02.560 --> 0:24:04.199
<v Speaker 1>what was it? What was different? I don't know. I

0:24:04.240 --> 0:24:09.359
<v Speaker 1>think he and I had just we were older, you know,

0:24:09.440 --> 0:24:11.920
<v Speaker 1>I'd gotten you know, I don't know. It was just

0:24:12.000 --> 0:24:14.800
<v Speaker 1>something was different. And I think those breaks are crucial.

0:24:15.000 --> 0:24:17.679
<v Speaker 1>My husband and I took a two year break. Happened

0:24:17.840 --> 0:24:20.280
<v Speaker 1>like if we wouldn't have gotten, if we wouldn't have

0:24:20.320 --> 0:24:22.320
<v Speaker 1>broken up, we wouldn't be happily married. I know we

0:24:22.320 --> 0:24:25.720
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't just because we weren't grown up enough yet. We

0:24:25.760 --> 0:24:28.960
<v Speaker 1>hadn't lived enough. I hadn't found myself as something I'm

0:24:28.960 --> 0:24:31.520
<v Speaker 1>still obviously finding it that he hadn't either, and it's

0:24:31.560 --> 0:24:34.560
<v Speaker 1>like you got to know that you it's not that

0:24:34.600 --> 0:24:37.040
<v Speaker 1>you needed to like see what was out there, but

0:24:37.080 --> 0:24:38.960
<v Speaker 1>I just needed to find myself and to know that

0:24:39.000 --> 0:24:41.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm not just like rushing into something. That's a cool story.

0:24:41.280 --> 0:24:43.840
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know that about you all. That's awesome. Yeah,

0:24:44.040 --> 0:24:46.520
<v Speaker 1>it's like it's the four years, broke up two and

0:24:46.560 --> 0:24:50.320
<v Speaker 1>then eloped, you dated four years. Oh wow, I didn't

0:24:50.359 --> 0:24:52.680
<v Speaker 1>know that. And then we broke up for two years

0:24:52.760 --> 0:24:55.480
<v Speaker 1>and I moved away and like it was over, but

0:24:55.520 --> 0:24:57.720
<v Speaker 1>we still kind of kept in touch, and then one

0:24:57.920 --> 0:25:00.399
<v Speaker 1>kind of same thing, we just randomly ran into each

0:25:00.440 --> 0:25:03.680
<v Speaker 1>other again, and I was like, it's always, it's always

0:25:03.720 --> 0:25:06.560
<v Speaker 1>it's like that. Yeah, yeah, that's that's how he and

0:25:06.560 --> 0:25:09.240
<v Speaker 1>I were. Because so I saw him at this bar

0:25:09.680 --> 0:25:12.560
<v Speaker 1>and he was singing and we made eye contact and

0:25:12.560 --> 0:25:14.200
<v Speaker 1>now I was like and I was like so happy

0:25:14.320 --> 0:25:17.040
<v Speaker 1>work clothes and I'm like he he had no idea

0:25:17.080 --> 0:25:18.760
<v Speaker 1>you're there. No, I know he was gonna be there

0:25:18.840 --> 0:25:20.360
<v Speaker 1>until my brother told him. I was like, well, I'll

0:25:20.359 --> 0:25:22.639
<v Speaker 1>go for like an hour, but I'm in my work clothes,

0:25:22.640 --> 0:25:26.119
<v Speaker 1>which is not going out clothes like a grandma. You

0:25:26.119 --> 0:25:29.280
<v Speaker 1>could never look like a grandma like in college, but

0:25:29.840 --> 0:25:36.000
<v Speaker 1>we still college. Boat talks. It helps. I love is

0:25:36.040 --> 0:25:38.760

0:25:47.640 --> 0:25:52.320
<v Speaker 1>you have hair dye and talkin. Yeah, that does. So

0:25:53.000 --> 0:25:55.840

0:25:55.920 --> 0:25:59.600

0:25:59.600 --> 0:26:05.040
<v Speaker 1>locked eye. We we did. And then um, he he

0:26:05.119 --> 0:26:07.520
<v Speaker 1>took a break and I didn't see him for a while,

0:26:08.040 --> 0:26:10.959
<v Speaker 1>and I thought he was trying to avoid me. So

0:26:11.720 --> 0:26:13.680
<v Speaker 1>I left. I just went and I was like, I've

0:26:13.680 --> 0:26:16.040
<v Speaker 1>got to be up at like six am, So I left. Well,

0:26:16.040 --> 0:26:18.879
<v Speaker 1>he called me three am. He didn't call me, so

0:26:18.920 --> 0:26:20.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry. He called my brothers. I was because he

0:26:20.840 --> 0:26:23.760
<v Speaker 1>had my brother's brother is his inn? Yeah, and so

0:26:23.880 --> 0:26:27.480
<v Speaker 1>Bo helped him out. Um, that's my brother's name. So

0:26:27.560 --> 0:26:31.840
<v Speaker 1>he called my brother's house at three am, and for

0:26:31.880 --> 0:26:34.639
<v Speaker 1>some reason, I answered, I never answered a phone at

0:26:34.760 --> 0:26:38.879
<v Speaker 1>three am. Well back then I didn't. Now I'm concerned.

0:26:38.920 --> 0:26:43.119
<v Speaker 1>It's a it's want to tell sisters in college. But um,

0:26:43.160 --> 0:26:46.320
<v Speaker 1>and he was like, where did you go? I said,

0:26:46.440 --> 0:26:48.439
<v Speaker 1>I said, I'm sorry, I had to leave, you know,

0:26:48.640 --> 0:26:50.520
<v Speaker 1>I thought that you didn't want to see me and

0:26:50.600 --> 0:26:53.439
<v Speaker 1>I gotta be up at six. And anyway, after that,

0:26:53.520 --> 0:26:56.840
<v Speaker 1>he and I started texting and we saw each other

0:26:56.840 --> 0:27:01.320
<v Speaker 1>at Christmas and we've been together since stop. Oh yeah,

0:27:01.600 --> 0:27:06.439
<v Speaker 1>so it was good. It was that he and I

0:27:06.480 --> 0:27:09.080
<v Speaker 1>would have never, ever, ever lasted if we didn't have

0:27:09.119 --> 0:27:14.600
<v Speaker 1>a break. Yeah, same as she's too young because but yeah,

0:27:15.040 --> 0:27:17.840
<v Speaker 1>you're like, well, I've tried other ones and yeah, I

0:27:17.920 --> 0:27:19.919
<v Speaker 1>was like I tried all the flavors and I was like,

0:27:19.960 --> 0:27:25.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't like it. I'm glad allergic to the other one.

0:27:25.520 --> 0:27:27.480
<v Speaker 1>You gave me a rash, but not that kind of rash.

0:27:29.000 --> 0:27:32.400
<v Speaker 1>Not that kind of rash, thank god. Exactly. I don't

0:27:32.440 --> 0:27:36.800
<v Speaker 1>need cillin for that or for whatever. Does penicillin even

0:27:37.040 --> 0:27:40.040
<v Speaker 1>do people to take that anymore? I don't know. Yes,

0:27:40.160 --> 0:27:41.760
<v Speaker 1>well I'm glad I'll have to find out that kind

0:27:41.760 --> 0:27:44.639
<v Speaker 1>of rash. Let me clarify, like, yeah, you know, like

0:27:44.720 --> 0:27:51.679
<v Speaker 1>we didn't get an st T. Thanks, yes, oh my god. Okay,

0:27:51.680 --> 0:27:54.360
<v Speaker 1>So then marriage life was lu GARDI touring, Like, did

0:27:54.359 --> 0:27:56.679
<v Speaker 1>you go straight to road life? Like? Was that an adjustment?

0:27:56.720 --> 0:27:59.920
<v Speaker 1>How did that all flight happen? He had just gotten signed?

0:28:00.200 --> 0:28:02.520
<v Speaker 1>Were you ready for this life on the road? Well,

0:28:02.560 --> 0:28:04.520
<v Speaker 1>you know what, in college when he not dated, he

0:28:04.600 --> 0:28:07.280
<v Speaker 1>was always singing, So on a Friday and Saturday, he

0:28:07.320 --> 0:28:11.040
<v Speaker 1>would go to like other colleges and play, and so

0:28:11.080 --> 0:28:14.080
<v Speaker 1>I was used to him not being around on a

0:28:14.119 --> 0:28:18.040
<v Speaker 1>Friday and Saturday, and so or either I traveled to

0:28:18.080 --> 0:28:20.600
<v Speaker 1>go see where he was playing, and so I was

0:28:20.800 --> 0:28:23.399
<v Speaker 1>used to all that. So that's all I've kind of

0:28:23.440 --> 0:28:26.080
<v Speaker 1>ever known, you know, is that he he was a singer,

0:28:26.160 --> 0:28:29.520
<v Speaker 1>and I'd be dancing alone, you know, out you know,

0:28:29.680 --> 0:28:31.680
<v Speaker 1>out there, and he'd be on stage singing. So I

0:28:31.720 --> 0:28:34.840
<v Speaker 1>don't really know what it's like to listen to a

0:28:34.920 --> 0:28:39.280
<v Speaker 1>band and have him dance with me, because I just

0:28:39.640 --> 0:28:42.080
<v Speaker 1>we just never knew that. But so I'm so used

0:28:42.120 --> 0:28:44.480
<v Speaker 1>to it. It was never like a transitional thing. You're

0:28:44.520 --> 0:28:46.320
<v Speaker 1>just fine where they're ready to go. Did you get

0:28:46.360 --> 0:28:48.280
<v Speaker 1>on the tour bus right away or did just split time?

0:28:48.400 --> 0:28:50.120
<v Speaker 1>Or how did y'all see each other? Well? I worked

0:28:50.160 --> 0:28:53.000
<v Speaker 1>for because you know, he played. I mean, as you know,

0:28:53.200 --> 0:28:55.800
<v Speaker 1>when aurist starts out you play for for free all

0:28:55.880 --> 0:28:58.960
<v Speaker 1>time and they're always gone and you don't make any money.

0:28:59.240 --> 0:29:02.360
<v Speaker 1>So I had a great job, thank thank God. And

0:29:02.440 --> 0:29:05.200
<v Speaker 1>so that you know, for oh my god, I guess

0:29:05.840 --> 0:29:09.640
<v Speaker 1>four years or so, you know, my my income paid

0:29:09.640 --> 0:29:13.280
<v Speaker 1>our bills. But I would still, you know, make time

0:29:13.320 --> 0:29:15.640
<v Speaker 1>to go out and see him. And you know, when

0:29:15.640 --> 0:29:18.160
<v Speaker 1>Bo was born, he was a surprise. I got pregnant

0:29:18.200 --> 0:29:21.040
<v Speaker 1>when we were married for six months. I was not

0:29:21.160 --> 0:29:26.200
<v Speaker 1>expecting that at all, but um, and then we had

0:29:26.200 --> 0:29:28.800
<v Speaker 1>a miscarriage. And I love that you talked about that

0:29:28.840 --> 0:29:31.520
<v Speaker 1>because I also had one and I did a podcast

0:29:31.560 --> 0:29:33.640
<v Speaker 1>about it. And it's like a conversation that a lot

0:29:33.680 --> 0:29:36.160
<v Speaker 1>of people don't talk about, but a lot of women

0:29:36.280 --> 0:29:38.880
<v Speaker 1>go through it. Everybody I know has had one. So

0:29:39.000 --> 0:29:42.280
<v Speaker 1>every once I've said we had a miscarriage, like everybody

0:29:42.560 --> 0:29:46.040
<v Speaker 1>I know has had one. Why is it so not

0:29:46.080 --> 0:29:48.960
<v Speaker 1>talked about? I wonder. I don't know. I mean, I

0:29:49.000 --> 0:29:52.080
<v Speaker 1>guess girls don't want to, you know, I don't know,

0:29:52.160 --> 0:29:54.800
<v Speaker 1>because I knew that it wasn't my fault or something

0:29:54.840 --> 0:29:58.400
<v Speaker 1>that I did. I guess girls just don't. You know.

0:29:58.480 --> 0:30:00.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, that's odd because I guess it's not

0:30:00.960 --> 0:30:04.040
<v Speaker 1>like a good topic to go, Hey, guess what, I

0:30:04.080 --> 0:30:06.800
<v Speaker 1>had a miscarriage, because I think there's almost like it's

0:30:06.800 --> 0:30:10.080
<v Speaker 1>not shame around it or something, but it's like I

0:30:10.120 --> 0:30:12.360
<v Speaker 1>wanted to like say something about it because like, when

0:30:12.360 --> 0:30:14.240
<v Speaker 1>I was going through it, I felt so sad and

0:30:14.280 --> 0:30:16.640
<v Speaker 1>then I felt so like, I don't know, I just

0:30:16.680 --> 0:30:18.600
<v Speaker 1>like I needed to say it out loud, you know,

0:30:18.640 --> 0:30:21.080
<v Speaker 1>And I wanted to like say I've had this, because

0:30:21.200 --> 0:30:23.680
<v Speaker 1>it is such a when you're in it, you're looking

0:30:23.720 --> 0:30:26.720
<v Speaker 1>for support too, you know. And what's sad is that,

0:30:26.800 --> 0:30:30.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, girls who have had one, girls take your

0:30:30.280 --> 0:30:32.600
<v Speaker 1>harder than a guy does because it's not really as real.

0:30:32.800 --> 0:30:37.280
<v Speaker 1>They didn't know really how to comfort me because you know,

0:30:38.160 --> 0:30:40.520
<v Speaker 1>he just he didn't get it. But as girls, when

0:30:40.600 --> 0:30:43.200
<v Speaker 1>you go through it and you lose it, you just

0:30:43.360 --> 0:30:46.200
<v Speaker 1>there there is a loss. There is a loss, and

0:30:46.240 --> 0:30:49.400
<v Speaker 1>it sucks and it hurts and you're physically hurt and

0:30:49.400 --> 0:30:52.920
<v Speaker 1>you're in oh, well it's it's awful physically, um, but

0:30:54.080 --> 0:30:56.320
<v Speaker 1>it does hurt and it is a loss. But gods,

0:30:56.360 --> 0:31:00.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't think they know because they didn't, like they

0:31:00.600 --> 0:31:04.320
<v Speaker 1>haven't felt it or seen it. Every day of course

0:31:04.320 --> 0:31:06.880
<v Speaker 1>you're checking in on it, but like it's just different. Yeah, yeah,

0:31:07.360 --> 0:31:10.959
<v Speaker 1>and you and you feel like you know, I don't know,

0:31:11.040 --> 0:31:14.720
<v Speaker 1>it's just but for girls it's a true laws and guys,

0:31:14.720 --> 0:31:18.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it's a true laws. But but

0:31:18.200 --> 0:31:20.960
<v Speaker 1>almost every girl I know has had one. I can't

0:31:21.000 --> 0:31:23.440
<v Speaker 1>even tell you the same thing. Like every everyone I

0:31:23.480 --> 0:31:26.000
<v Speaker 1>talked to has one or has been has a friend

0:31:26.080 --> 0:31:28.880
<v Speaker 1>or family member super affected by it. So were you

0:31:28.920 --> 0:31:32.920
<v Speaker 1>scared to try to get pregnant again? Um? No? And

0:31:32.960 --> 0:31:36.120
<v Speaker 1>what's funny is I didn't try to get pregnant the

0:31:36.160 --> 0:31:39.240
<v Speaker 1>second time. It just happened. That's the way to do it.

0:31:39.400 --> 0:31:42.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, are you kidding me? Like, like when

0:31:42.560 --> 0:31:46.160
<v Speaker 1>I tell people like sometimes I'm kidding, but I'll tell

0:31:46.200 --> 0:31:48.960
<v Speaker 1>people like he and I that's the one easy part

0:31:49.040 --> 0:31:51.400
<v Speaker 1>of our life if we want to get pregnant. I

0:31:51.440 --> 0:31:55.600
<v Speaker 1>got pregnant instantly, And I'm like, I'm we're so fertile.

0:31:55.680 --> 0:31:58.920
<v Speaker 1>I'll wash her under a separately. But I don't. But

0:31:59.000 --> 0:32:00.800
<v Speaker 1>that's just what I tell us, Like, no, I gotta

0:32:00.840 --> 0:32:04.400
<v Speaker 1>wash my own separately. We're I'll get pregnant, but um,

0:32:04.440 --> 0:32:07.000
<v Speaker 1>but no, say he and I get pregnant very easily.

0:32:07.840 --> 0:32:12.720
<v Speaker 1>But and I've I've only lost one, but it it does.

0:32:12.760 --> 0:32:15.080
<v Speaker 1>It just sucks because you just it just hurts, as

0:32:15.120 --> 0:32:17.200
<v Speaker 1>as as as a as a lady. It just hurts.

0:32:17.840 --> 0:32:21.240
<v Speaker 1>But so here it comes now. But Bo was first,

0:32:21.600 --> 0:32:24.080
<v Speaker 1>Bow was first. And now how did it happen to

0:32:24.160 --> 0:32:28.000
<v Speaker 1>baby rock your world? Oh my god? Yeah, because you

0:32:28.080 --> 0:32:32.640
<v Speaker 1>think you go from you think you're tired when you're alone,

0:32:32.880 --> 0:32:35.440
<v Speaker 1>and then when you have a baby. And then Luke

0:32:35.520 --> 0:32:39.880
<v Speaker 1>was touring and I remember so well, oh my god,

0:32:39.880 --> 0:32:42.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, how did I do this? So Luke was

0:32:42.560 --> 0:32:46.120
<v Speaker 1>touring and I was off work for like four months.

0:32:46.840 --> 0:32:49.640
<v Speaker 1>Well we decided to go on the road with Luke.

0:32:50.600 --> 0:32:53.920
<v Speaker 1>Well yeah, so for the first year. And I'm not

0:32:54.080 --> 0:32:58.320
<v Speaker 1>making this up, I swear to god. So when this

0:32:58.400 --> 0:33:00.760
<v Speaker 1>was when Luke was still brand new and and the

0:33:00.800 --> 0:33:04.360
<v Speaker 1>whole band and Luke was sharing a tour bus, well

0:33:04.760 --> 0:33:07.600
<v Speaker 1>there was no room you know for Caroline and a baby.

0:33:07.680 --> 0:33:10.120
<v Speaker 1>Because when it was just me, I just I would

0:33:10.120 --> 0:33:12.160
<v Speaker 1>sleep in the bunk with Luke, which is not easy

0:33:12.280 --> 0:33:14.440
<v Speaker 1>as you know, double bunkey, especially with a big, tall guy.

0:33:14.480 --> 0:33:17.800
<v Speaker 1>Because Michael, I'm like, oh my god, so you just

0:33:18.200 --> 0:33:23.200
<v Speaker 1>well we all three oh god. Note, so I knew

0:33:23.240 --> 0:33:26.120
<v Speaker 1>that Luke would need which which you know. This is

0:33:26.120 --> 0:33:29.560
<v Speaker 1>where I think I'm a very sweet person. I was like,

0:33:29.600 --> 0:33:32.200
<v Speaker 1>I was like, Okay, Luke has to sleep more because

0:33:32.200 --> 0:33:35.080
<v Speaker 1>he has to sink. If he has to sink, if

0:33:35.080 --> 0:33:39.040
<v Speaker 1>he gets sick, we're screwed. I would make a bed

0:33:39.040 --> 0:33:42.120
<v Speaker 1>in the back of the bus, off of suitcases. Stop

0:33:42.840 --> 0:33:45.000
<v Speaker 1>we I would make a bed in the back of

0:33:45.040 --> 0:33:48.480
<v Speaker 1>the bus off of all the all the band guys suitcases,

0:33:48.760 --> 0:33:52.880
<v Speaker 1>and hours with and I would sleep with bo and

0:33:52.920 --> 0:33:55.440
<v Speaker 1>get up, oh my gout twelve times a night. And

0:33:55.480 --> 0:33:57.719
<v Speaker 1>the poor band they were so awesome because I know

0:33:57.800 --> 0:33:59.520
<v Speaker 1>that they heard a baby cry and half the night,

0:33:59.560 --> 0:34:02.920
<v Speaker 1>but they never complained. They never said a word. They

0:34:02.960 --> 0:34:06.160
<v Speaker 1>were just But yeah, we slept on suitcases, so we

0:34:06.200 --> 0:34:10.560
<v Speaker 1>can both sleep anywhere. Now, any noise any place, he's

0:34:10.600 --> 0:34:16.399
<v Speaker 1>probably just he's fine. Oh my gosh, Caroline. We made

0:34:16.440 --> 0:34:19.040
<v Speaker 1>a palette on suitcases, so we'd pile like all the

0:34:19.080 --> 0:34:22.400
<v Speaker 1>suitcases up. And there's no telling how how old his

0:34:22.480 --> 0:34:25.440
<v Speaker 1>first tour bust was. It wasn't probably got it was old.

0:34:25.920 --> 0:34:28.440
<v Speaker 1>But we made a palette office suitcases and put like

0:34:28.880 --> 0:34:31.920
<v Speaker 1>blankets down and stuff and pillows, and that's how we

0:34:31.960 --> 0:34:34.520
<v Speaker 1>slept could you ever do that again? Oh my god,

0:34:34.560 --> 0:34:37.640
<v Speaker 1>I would die. I'd want those days. You can't go back. Now.

0:34:37.680 --> 0:34:40.680
<v Speaker 1>I have a timper peta pillow. I just didn't a

0:34:40.680 --> 0:34:43.960
<v Speaker 1>timper bed. Oh my gosh. You'll have a timper pere

0:34:44.280 --> 0:34:47.359
<v Speaker 1>like I have. The one that can sit up like

0:34:49.280 --> 0:34:53.080
<v Speaker 1>ours is flat, but it is game the best. Yes,

0:34:53.239 --> 0:34:56.440
<v Speaker 1>I never knew. I never knew how great it was. No,

0:34:56.600 --> 0:34:59.280
<v Speaker 1>it's and now you cannot go back because it molds

0:34:59.320 --> 0:35:01.520
<v Speaker 1>to your body. You're in a hotel, you're in hell,

0:35:01.640 --> 0:35:07.440
<v Speaker 1>You're you're like, oh, yes, with a back ache. Pillow too,

0:35:08.080 --> 0:35:11.799
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, Yes, mine's curved. I take it everywhere,

0:35:11.920 --> 0:35:14.560
<v Speaker 1>like I can't sleep on anything else. No, see, you

0:35:14.640 --> 0:35:17.359
<v Speaker 1>got that out of your system early on. Yeah, so

0:35:17.360 --> 0:35:19.920
<v Speaker 1>so now I'm like, I did, I did it. We've

0:35:19.920 --> 0:35:23.040
<v Speaker 1>heard it. I've heard this pillow and I can't sleep

0:35:23.080 --> 0:35:25.080
<v Speaker 1>on anything else because I have a neck issue. Because

0:35:25.600 --> 0:35:28.000
<v Speaker 1>I went on a girl's trip this past August. And

0:35:28.440 --> 0:35:32.800
<v Speaker 1>you look too much working. I know, I'm horrible at working. Uh,

0:35:33.280 --> 0:35:38.680
<v Speaker 1>like I'm having a seizure. But we so some friends

0:35:38.680 --> 0:35:41.799
<v Speaker 1>and our so so a bunch of girls go on

0:35:41.800 --> 0:35:45.200
<v Speaker 1>on this trip and you know, if you well once

0:35:45.239 --> 0:35:47.920
<v Speaker 1>you have a child. If you get to get out

0:35:47.920 --> 0:35:51.480
<v Speaker 1>of the house, you get to really excited. You maybe

0:35:51.719 --> 0:35:53.759
<v Speaker 1>drink too much the first time. You gotta go hard,

0:35:54.320 --> 0:35:56.359
<v Speaker 1>and I did. I was so excited to be at

0:35:56.360 --> 0:35:58.880
<v Speaker 1>the house. When was this girl's trip? It was? Was

0:35:58.920 --> 0:36:02.840
<v Speaker 1>it step September August? It was? It was for the

0:36:02.920 --> 0:36:06.799
<v Speaker 1>US Open in New York. And I'm a big tennis fan,

0:36:07.160 --> 0:36:10.319
<v Speaker 1>big time, so I went with my tennis team. We

0:36:10.440 --> 0:36:12.759
<v Speaker 1>drank a lot because it was our first time out

0:36:12.760 --> 0:36:14.919
<v Speaker 1>of the house away from all of our kids. For

0:36:14.960 --> 0:36:18.160
<v Speaker 1>some reason, I'm wearing high heels. For some reason, I

0:36:18.200 --> 0:36:21.040
<v Speaker 1>decided to start doing I started. I think I can

0:36:21.040 --> 0:36:26.520
<v Speaker 1>tumble again. Granted I'm thirty nine, I'm not sixty. Well,

0:36:26.560 --> 0:36:28.880
<v Speaker 1>I took them all for a couple of movies, for

0:36:28.920 --> 0:36:33.000
<v Speaker 1>a couple of movies. The last one, no, no, no.

0:36:33.320 --> 0:36:37.480
<v Speaker 1>I took gymnastics for like two years, but I mean

0:36:37.520 --> 0:36:40.120
<v Speaker 1>I could do like backhand springs and stuff. So I

0:36:40.160 --> 0:36:43.960
<v Speaker 1>do a backflip on a bed. I landed, thinking okay,

0:36:44.000 --> 0:36:46.880
<v Speaker 1>I still got it. I go on the in the

0:36:46.920 --> 0:36:50.439
<v Speaker 1>hallway and start doing like you know, round dolphs and

0:36:50.480 --> 0:36:54.000
<v Speaker 1>what oh? I slipped on the last one, land on

0:36:54.160 --> 0:37:00.480
<v Speaker 1>my neck. It's still really messed up. Oh no, are

0:37:00.520 --> 0:37:03.359
<v Speaker 1>you like going to anyone like a chiropractor or anything. Yes,

0:37:03.440 --> 0:37:06.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm still in physical therapy, but Caroline, but so that's

0:37:06.880 --> 0:37:08.880
<v Speaker 1>why I have to have this certain pillow. I'm like, no,

0:37:08.960 --> 0:37:11.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to headaches all the time. No, I don't.

0:37:11.480 --> 0:37:16.560
<v Speaker 1>It's just like, can you only turn so far? Yeah? No,

0:37:16.840 --> 0:37:19.239
<v Speaker 1>I didn't ruin the rest of your trip. Oh hell no,

0:37:19.640 --> 0:37:22.360
<v Speaker 1>I just I just went with it. I took Adville

0:37:22.400 --> 0:37:26.360
<v Speaker 1>and I kept going, like, listen, I was going to

0:37:26.360 --> 0:37:29.239
<v Speaker 1>see Roger play. Damn it. I was not gonna, you know,

0:37:29.320 --> 0:37:31.719
<v Speaker 1>a spinal cord injury. I can barely walk up and

0:37:31.719 --> 0:37:33.120
<v Speaker 1>put it on a neck brace. But I'm gonna have

0:37:33.160 --> 0:37:36.240
<v Speaker 1>my I had a neck brace. I didn't. I swear.

0:37:36.320 --> 0:37:39.080
<v Speaker 1>It's the worst picture ever. Give my walker my shard, nay,

0:37:39.120 --> 0:37:41.880
<v Speaker 1>and I'm gonna be fine. I looked like mac Doe

0:37:42.400 --> 0:37:47.319
<v Speaker 1>walking around with this cheated jacket and a neck brace. Okay,

0:37:47.400 --> 0:37:48.920
<v Speaker 1>nobody slowed not you're a good time. But I had

0:37:48.960 --> 0:37:51.160
<v Speaker 1>a glass of wine, so I was okay. And Adville

0:37:51.239 --> 0:37:58.600
<v Speaker 1>so and then you're ready to rock, I guess it's true.

0:37:58.800 --> 0:38:03.799
<v Speaker 1>Oh well, okay, So then bo came first. Then second, TAKEO,

0:38:04.280 --> 0:38:07.640
<v Speaker 1>what great names Bow and Tate. I know, Bow's named

0:38:07.640 --> 0:38:11.040
<v Speaker 1>after my my so bow has always been a name

0:38:11.160 --> 0:38:14.000
<v Speaker 1>in my family. A boy Er is my maiden name,

0:38:14.120 --> 0:38:16.840
<v Speaker 1>and so bow has always been a name in my family.

0:38:17.280 --> 0:38:21.480
<v Speaker 1>And Tate is named after Luke's sister's best friend when

0:38:21.560 --> 0:38:27.680
<v Speaker 1>she was young. I love that. So that's so when

0:38:27.719 --> 0:38:31.120
<v Speaker 1>did then, when did the cousins come live with you guys?

0:38:31.800 --> 0:38:36.120
<v Speaker 1>So Um Luke's sister Unfortunately, I guess May will be

0:38:37.040 --> 0:38:42.040
<v Speaker 1>thirteen years his sister passed away unexpected. I mean just

0:38:42.160 --> 0:38:48.280
<v Speaker 1>it was like the worst day of my life, Um,

0:38:48.360 --> 0:38:51.279
<v Speaker 1>of of of all of our lives. She was healthy, beautiful,

0:38:52.120 --> 0:38:55.239
<v Speaker 1>the funny, she's like the best mom to ever walk

0:38:55.320 --> 0:39:00.560
<v Speaker 1>this earth. It's just the best thing ever. She's just

0:39:01.640 --> 0:39:05.480
<v Speaker 1>she was just taken from us with and there's and

0:39:05.520 --> 0:39:10.120
<v Speaker 1>we never found any reason, but she was just the

0:39:10.120 --> 0:39:14.799
<v Speaker 1>most awesome person ever. Um. And then I guess it's

0:39:14.840 --> 0:39:19.399
<v Speaker 1>been four and a half years. Their their dad a Lee,

0:39:19.520 --> 0:39:22.040
<v Speaker 1>who was one of my best friends. He had a

0:39:22.080 --> 0:39:26.480
<v Speaker 1>massive heart attack in front of me until um and

0:39:26.560 --> 0:39:31.080
<v Speaker 1>he was gone. So that day kind of that that

0:39:31.239 --> 0:39:36.320
<v Speaker 1>was the other equally worst day of our life. But um,

0:39:36.360 --> 0:39:39.480
<v Speaker 1>so after that, that's so Till he moved in with

0:39:39.600 --> 0:39:44.759
<v Speaker 1>us immediately. And the girls, um, the oldest, so the

0:39:44.760 --> 0:39:48.080
<v Speaker 1>oldest was in college in Athens, Georgia, and so she

0:39:48.080 --> 0:39:50.440
<v Speaker 1>she moved home to be with her sister who was

0:39:50.480 --> 0:39:53.360
<v Speaker 1>a junior in high school. And her sister wanted to

0:39:53.400 --> 0:39:55.799
<v Speaker 1>finish out high school with her friends totally, and we

0:39:55.880 --> 0:39:59.680
<v Speaker 1>understood that. So she lived with some um friends of

0:39:59.680 --> 0:40:03.319
<v Speaker 1>ours there. And so the girls, you know, they're back

0:40:03.320 --> 0:40:05.879
<v Speaker 1>and forth constantly because they're still in college, but they're

0:40:05.880 --> 0:40:08.000
<v Speaker 1>back and forth constantly. But Till has been with us

0:40:08.040 --> 0:40:13.000
<v Speaker 1>full time ever since him. Okay, yeah, well gosh, so

0:40:13.080 --> 0:40:15.319
<v Speaker 1>have y'all dealt with tragedies that? Do you think that's

0:40:15.320 --> 0:40:17.879
<v Speaker 1>why humor has a big part of your life Because

0:40:17.920 --> 0:40:20.080
<v Speaker 1>I feel like you have to, y'all when I look

0:40:20.120 --> 0:40:23.080
<v Speaker 1>at us failing, y'all brace it with so much love

0:40:23.280 --> 0:40:26.719
<v Speaker 1>in like living in the moment what you have to.

0:40:26.840 --> 0:40:30.360
<v Speaker 1>Because we've lost Luke's brother, who I never met because

0:40:30.400 --> 0:40:35.080
<v Speaker 1>he was killing a car crush and not ninety six. Um,

0:40:35.120 --> 0:40:38.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, Luke, he lost his brother, we lost his sister,

0:40:38.840 --> 0:40:42.520
<v Speaker 1>we lost our brother in law, and then we lost

0:40:43.080 --> 0:40:45.920
<v Speaker 1>our niece Brett, who was seven months and so who

0:40:46.000 --> 0:40:49.760
<v Speaker 1>did Brett belonged to? My brother and my sister in law? Okay,

0:40:49.800 --> 0:40:53.000
<v Speaker 1>so Bo your brother. Yeah, and that's where you started

0:40:53.000 --> 0:40:56.319
<v Speaker 1>Brett's bomb. Okay, now what how did what was her?

0:40:56.440 --> 0:41:01.160
<v Speaker 1>She had a rare illness? Um, well she didn't. It

0:41:01.680 --> 0:41:06.640
<v Speaker 1>wasn't rare. So my brother and Ellen, who's Brett's mom. Um,

0:41:06.680 --> 0:41:10.240
<v Speaker 1>she's the coolest person ever, like truly, like the coolest person.

0:41:10.520 --> 0:41:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Like God couldn't have given me a better sister in law. Um,

0:41:13.960 --> 0:41:17.040
<v Speaker 1>they tried for years to get pregnant and they just

0:41:17.040 --> 0:41:20.799
<v Speaker 1>couldn't do it. And but we don't know why. Um,

0:41:20.880 --> 0:41:25.080
<v Speaker 1>they did I v F and got pregnant with Brett. Well,

0:41:25.080 --> 0:41:27.520
<v Speaker 1>they found out that Brett was gonna, you know, be

0:41:28.440 --> 0:41:31.600
<v Speaker 1>a Downs baby, and so we wrapped her head around that.

0:41:31.960 --> 0:41:35.439
<v Speaker 1>We didn't care. We just wanted her here. And then

0:41:35.480 --> 0:41:39.400
<v Speaker 1>we found out that Brett had a heart condition that

0:41:39.520 --> 0:41:44.560
<v Speaker 1>would require surgery. And so Brett, you know, we knew

0:41:44.600 --> 0:41:46.320
<v Speaker 1>that it was going to be surgery, but it was

0:41:46.320 --> 0:41:50.720
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be easily fixed. So Brett had surgery when

0:41:50.800 --> 0:41:53.640
<v Speaker 1>she was I guess, Oh my gosh, she was super young.

0:41:54.640 --> 0:41:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Well she I guess was Brett three months. I think

0:41:58.680 --> 0:42:01.040
<v Speaker 1>she was three months when you had her heart surgery.

0:42:01.480 --> 0:42:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Something about Brett's body, they just it just didn't take.

0:42:06.880 --> 0:42:09.719
<v Speaker 1>So she stayed in the hospital, Ellen and bow In

0:42:09.840 --> 0:42:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Hospital for over a hundred days, and I'd go up

0:42:13.040 --> 0:42:14.960
<v Speaker 1>there almost every day just to see them and just

0:42:15.080 --> 0:42:17.920
<v Speaker 1>hold Brett's hand and sing to her, which I have

0:42:17.960 --> 0:42:21.200
<v Speaker 1>a horrible singing voice, and she stared at me like, please,

0:42:21.640 --> 0:42:24.840
<v Speaker 1>for love of God, stop, just hold my hand. But

0:42:25.120 --> 0:42:30.680
<v Speaker 1>um a't seven months she was taken. M How did

0:42:30.719 --> 0:42:34.720
<v Speaker 1>you all, how did you guys decide to do the foundation? Well,

0:42:34.920 --> 0:42:38.480
<v Speaker 1>you know when um I did so. I never met

0:42:38.560 --> 0:42:41.319
<v Speaker 1>Luke's brother who was killed in a car accident, and

0:42:41.400 --> 0:42:46.040
<v Speaker 1>he was everybody tells me he's just like my brother Bo. Well,

0:42:46.160 --> 0:42:51.880
<v Speaker 1>when Kelly and Lee passed, we were so directly involved

0:42:51.920 --> 0:42:54.440
<v Speaker 1>with like with the kids and helping with the family,

0:42:54.520 --> 0:42:58.440
<v Speaker 1>that we didn't have time. I mean like, like you're

0:42:58.520 --> 0:43:02.120
<v Speaker 1>you're so involved with the is that that's your whole focus. Well,

0:43:02.200 --> 0:43:05.760
<v Speaker 1>when Brett passed away, all I was doing was watching

0:43:06.040 --> 0:43:08.160
<v Speaker 1>my my brother and my sister in law suffer and

0:43:08.200 --> 0:43:13.280
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't help, and so um the way of coping,

0:43:13.360 --> 0:43:15.480
<v Speaker 1>I was like, Okay, Well, I promised Brett when she

0:43:15.520 --> 0:43:17.520
<v Speaker 1>was about a month old. I promised her a white

0:43:17.560 --> 0:43:20.200
<v Speaker 1>pony because I was like, she was the first girl

0:43:20.239 --> 0:43:22.319
<v Speaker 1>in her family. I was like, I said, I won't

0:43:22.360 --> 0:43:25.040
<v Speaker 1>buy you what everyone, I won't buy you a white pony.

0:43:25.120 --> 0:43:27.200
<v Speaker 1>So I decided that I was gonna follow up with

0:43:27.239 --> 0:43:28.600
<v Speaker 1>that and I was gonna get her. I was like,

0:43:28.680 --> 0:43:31.920
<v Speaker 1>damn it, I'm buying her a white pony. So a

0:43:31.960 --> 0:43:38.080
<v Speaker 1>white pony which I adopted, which ironically, this white pony

0:43:38.239 --> 0:43:41.720
<v Speaker 1>comes from a rescue place in Jackson, Tennessee. Oh my gosh,

0:43:41.960 --> 0:43:45.400
<v Speaker 1>So I found this pony. I'm like, I mean, that's Jesus,

0:43:45.640 --> 0:43:50.319
<v Speaker 1>come on if that's so. One pony turned into about

0:43:50.320 --> 0:43:56.160
<v Speaker 1>twenty three animals, and so now we have Brett Sparntarn.

0:43:56.640 --> 0:43:59.399
<v Speaker 1>It's it's the most it's just awesome. So it's it's

0:43:59.440 --> 0:44:02.440
<v Speaker 1>full of small animals where you know kids with special

0:44:02.480 --> 0:44:06.759
<v Speaker 1>needs or Saint Jude or sick children, they come out

0:44:06.880 --> 0:44:09.239
<v Speaker 1>and they and they played play with them and they

0:44:09.239 --> 0:44:12.400
<v Speaker 1>get to come hang and so that's that's just re

0:44:12.600 --> 0:44:16.560
<v Speaker 1>enjoy animals being out there in nature with them. How

0:44:16.560 --> 0:44:19.040
<v Speaker 1>has that blessed your life? Like, what has that what

0:44:19.120 --> 0:44:21.919
<v Speaker 1>has that experience been like having Brett's barking. Oh my god.

0:44:22.000 --> 0:44:24.000
<v Speaker 1>I love it because, you know, I get to be

0:44:24.120 --> 0:44:27.319
<v Speaker 1>like here, like in the city. But then when I

0:44:27.320 --> 0:44:29.680
<v Speaker 1>go out to her barn, I'm in boots and I'm

0:44:29.680 --> 0:44:33.160
<v Speaker 1>in I'm throwing hay out and I'm feeding the animals

0:44:33.160 --> 0:44:36.360
<v Speaker 1>and I'm brushing them and I'm getting I'm getting literally

0:44:36.400 --> 0:44:41.640
<v Speaker 1>shipped all over me. But they animals, I think, have

0:44:41.760 --> 0:44:44.399
<v Speaker 1>done more for our family than we will ever do

0:44:44.480 --> 0:44:47.880
<v Speaker 1>for Housel. For them, well, I mean, they've just they've

0:44:47.880 --> 0:44:51.640
<v Speaker 1>helped to heal so many people. And they're so funny,

0:44:51.680 --> 0:44:55.000
<v Speaker 1>like each animal has their own personality and I know

0:44:55.200 --> 0:44:58.440
<v Speaker 1>each one like how they're different. But can you feel

0:44:58.480 --> 0:45:01.560
<v Speaker 1>the healing happening out there? Oh yeah yeah. And my

0:45:01.760 --> 0:45:04.359
<v Speaker 1>kids act like when they get out there, Oh, they

0:45:04.400 --> 0:45:06.960
<v Speaker 1>love it because the animals are so tame and sweet

0:45:07.320 --> 0:45:11.040
<v Speaker 1>and they love it. And and the favorite are Margot

0:45:11.080 --> 0:45:14.840
<v Speaker 1>and Todd are kangaroos. That's their favorite because they're like

0:45:14.880 --> 0:45:17.440
<v Speaker 1>because how many kids get to go pettit and feed

0:45:17.520 --> 0:45:22.120
<v Speaker 1>up a kangaroo? Truly, you know, And they're and they're awesome.

0:45:22.280 --> 0:45:25.960
<v Speaker 1>But and my ultimate goal is to someday build a

0:45:26.120 --> 0:45:28.879
<v Speaker 1>public breat Brett Sparren because it's it's on her farm,

0:45:28.920 --> 0:45:31.040
<v Speaker 1>so we do have to be careful about who comes

0:45:31.080 --> 0:45:35.279
<v Speaker 1>out here. But it's it's I don't know, I just

0:45:35.640 --> 0:45:38.760
<v Speaker 1>I love it. It's just everything about it is peaceful.

0:45:39.160 --> 0:45:41.600
<v Speaker 1>Has it helped your brother and sister in law. Yeah,

0:45:42.520 --> 0:45:45.279
<v Speaker 1>just being able to pour into something so special in

0:45:45.360 --> 0:45:47.560
<v Speaker 1>her memory, to help other people and to see her

0:45:48.080 --> 0:45:51.040
<v Speaker 1>name because we promised Brett that she would never be

0:45:52.120 --> 0:45:54.759
<v Speaker 1>forgotten and that we'd always talk about her and that

0:45:54.840 --> 0:45:57.640

<v Speaker 1>you know, just make the best of something that's horrible.

0:47:48.280 --> 0:47:51.760
<v Speaker 1>But that's that's that's our goal. And it's not perfect.

0:47:51.800 --> 0:47:54.520
<v Speaker 1>Trust me. He and I, me and Luke can fight

0:47:54.680 --> 0:47:58.000
<v Speaker 1>like you can't even believe that we always, but we

0:47:58.440 --> 0:48:04.239
<v Speaker 1>make up very well. We do. So everybody's human. So

0:48:04.400 --> 0:48:07.800
<v Speaker 1>you said something, you said, he's to a happy marriage something,

0:48:08.520 --> 0:48:12.839
<v Speaker 1>laugh a lot and selective hearing. Yes, god, well he's

0:48:12.840 --> 0:48:15.160
<v Speaker 1>got that. I'll laugh a lot, and he has selective hearing.

0:48:15.400 --> 0:48:17.000
<v Speaker 1>I feel like all men have selective and I'm like,

0:48:17.000 --> 0:48:19.200
<v Speaker 1>are you not listening? I'm like, how can I do

0:48:19.280 --> 0:48:21.840
<v Speaker 1>that to Michael? Like he completely blocks out things that

0:48:21.920 --> 0:48:25.239
<v Speaker 1>I say. I think it's also like an artist thing

0:48:25.600 --> 0:48:29.560
<v Speaker 1>in them too, or that's what they say. The artsy

0:48:29.640 --> 0:48:33.839
<v Speaker 1>ones are very like, oh, come on, your dude, come on,

0:48:33.960 --> 0:48:35.680
<v Speaker 1>you just don't want to hear me. You're just gonna

0:48:35.680 --> 0:48:37.520
<v Speaker 1>act you didn't hear it, and then you can play dubs.

0:48:37.600 --> 0:48:39.239
<v Speaker 1>So then it's all fine, and then I'll end up

0:48:39.280 --> 0:48:41.279
<v Speaker 1>doing whatever I need to talk about anyway, I'll just

0:48:41.320 --> 0:48:43.280
<v Speaker 1>take care of it. But if you throw a plate

0:48:43.280 --> 0:48:48.719
<v Speaker 1>at them, they'll they'll listen real quick. That's that because

0:48:48.719 --> 0:48:52.600
<v Speaker 1>they're digital. Sorry that Ron pan just slipped out of

0:48:52.600 --> 0:48:55.920
<v Speaker 1>my hand. I'm gonna try that, but you gotta be

0:48:55.960 --> 0:48:57.719
<v Speaker 1>subtle about it. A gu goes in accident, don't do

0:48:57.760 --> 0:49:01.839
<v Speaker 1>a cast iron because that really hurts. Kidding. I've never

0:49:01.880 --> 0:49:04.720
<v Speaker 1>thrown a cast iron at him, not yet. It's bound

0:49:04.760 --> 0:49:07.320
<v Speaker 1>to happen at some point. So what are your favorite

0:49:07.320 --> 0:49:10.919
<v Speaker 1>things to do? Like hobbies, tennis? I do love tennis, um,

0:49:10.960 --> 0:49:12.440
<v Speaker 1>but else the favorite thing to do as a family.

0:49:13.120 --> 0:49:16.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh, I was a family. Oh lord, we'll

0:49:16.040 --> 0:49:21.840
<v Speaker 1>go Lord, we watch movies, we play games. Um Like

0:49:21.880 --> 0:49:24.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm always loving costumes, like all things that could have

0:49:24.920 --> 0:49:29.360
<v Speaker 1>a costume. Holidays, y'all are in them. Yes, if it's Christmas,

0:49:29.360 --> 0:49:32.520
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna be in the most pimped out, degraded Onesie Halloween,

0:49:32.520 --> 0:49:34.720
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna be have like a blow up dinosaur costume.

0:49:35.000 --> 0:49:37.560
<v Speaker 1>Well this thing about Halloween, like I never did the

0:49:38.000 --> 0:49:40.879
<v Speaker 1>you know how some people are like Halloween. Let's let's

0:49:40.880 --> 0:49:44.400
<v Speaker 1>be slutty. Yeah, I want to look completely stupid. I

0:49:44.440 --> 0:49:46.400
<v Speaker 1>feel like, were you in like a giant cow thing

0:49:46.480 --> 0:49:48.200
<v Speaker 1>that like you almost can walk in the room because

0:49:48.200 --> 0:49:50.600
<v Speaker 1>it was so big. I've done all that and then

0:49:50.680 --> 0:49:53.439
<v Speaker 1>I actually had I did where as a joke once

0:49:53.480 --> 0:49:55.759
<v Speaker 1>and it's not on Instagram, it's not anywhere I do

0:49:55.800 --> 0:50:01.319
<v Speaker 1>have pictures, but I don't like an inflatable penis. It

0:50:01.400 --> 0:50:03.680
<v Speaker 1>was great because it was so funny, but I couldn't.

0:50:03.680 --> 0:50:06.359
<v Speaker 1>You know, there's certain things that you can't put out

0:50:06.400 --> 0:50:08.799
<v Speaker 1>there because you'll get a lot of flag back. Have

0:50:19.520 --> 0:50:24.000
<v Speaker 1>show up. Oh my god. Um, I don't care who

0:50:24.040 --> 0:50:26.839
<v Speaker 1>you are, You're gonna get somebody's gonna hate on you.

0:50:26.920 --> 0:50:30.040
<v Speaker 1>That's just how it is. Um, do you just let

<v Speaker 1>that ride off you or does it get It gets

0:50:34.480 --> 0:50:38.040
<v Speaker 1>to me because it sucks because when you know that

<v Speaker 1>you're trying to be nice and a good person or

0:50:40.960 --> 0:50:44.240
<v Speaker 1>just and somebody wants to say, like a girl wants.

0:50:48.200 --> 0:50:53.120
<v Speaker 1>don't address wants and somebody commented which and that's what sucks.

0:50:53.160 --> 0:50:55.560

<v Speaker 1>on I don't know. I have never once, ever, ever, ever,

0:52:21.719 --> 0:52:27.120
<v Speaker 1>ever ever posted anything just mean like, oh my god,

0:52:27.160 --> 0:52:31.000
<v Speaker 1>are you pregnant? No, well, it's look old. It's that

0:52:31.040 --> 0:52:32.919
<v Speaker 1>old thing I heard it in church, but it's true.

0:52:32.960 --> 0:52:35.440
<v Speaker 1>It's like hurt people hurt people. You know, we're not

0:52:35.440 --> 0:52:38.360
<v Speaker 1>all hurt people who are like suffering, and but you

0:52:38.400 --> 0:52:40.560
<v Speaker 1>don't have to be an assid or they want to

0:52:40.600 --> 0:52:44.319
<v Speaker 1>make other misery loves company. Yeah, well I don't want

0:52:44.320 --> 0:52:46.480
<v Speaker 1>to do it around here. So I love that. I

0:52:46.520 --> 0:52:48.960
<v Speaker 1>love that you're just bright and light and fun and

0:52:49.120 --> 0:52:53.680
<v Speaker 1>joy and laughs and all that. So were you? I? Well,

0:52:53.719 --> 0:52:57.280
<v Speaker 1>thank you. I get emotional. I'm like, I'm an emotional mess,

0:52:57.320 --> 0:53:00.680
<v Speaker 1>Like have you ever done the angiogram? Oh my god,

0:53:00.719 --> 0:53:02.920
<v Speaker 1>somebody told me about that last week. You've got to

0:53:02.960 --> 0:53:04.600
<v Speaker 1>say I've got it. It isn't like a hundred and

0:53:04.600 --> 0:53:06.880
<v Speaker 1>fifty questions or something, and it tells you and you

0:53:06.920 --> 0:53:08.920
<v Speaker 1>and Luke shuld but actually your whole family should take it,

0:53:09.120 --> 0:53:11.719
<v Speaker 1>and it tells you so much about your personality. Well,

0:53:11.719 --> 0:53:15.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm four, which is a romantic and so like I

0:53:15.120 --> 0:53:18.720
<v Speaker 1>love love and like I love a great story and passion.

0:53:19.040 --> 0:53:21.080
<v Speaker 1>But I can just fall to the bottom of a

0:53:21.120 --> 0:53:23.960
<v Speaker 1>whole emotional hole and just be caught up in my feelings.

0:53:24.080 --> 0:53:27.399
<v Speaker 1>And luckily, Michael, the seven and sevens are like what's

0:53:27.440 --> 0:53:30.919
<v Speaker 1>the seven happy? They always kind of avoid pain. They're

0:53:30.920 --> 0:53:33.080
<v Speaker 1>always finding the good time. That sounds like Luke, yeah,

0:53:33.440 --> 0:53:37.320
<v Speaker 1>probably always like having a good time, never let anything

0:53:37.320 --> 0:53:40.640
<v Speaker 1>get too sad, like always because Michael Doult wasn't tragedy

0:53:40.680 --> 0:53:42.520
<v Speaker 1>to his brother died of cancer and was really young,

0:53:42.560 --> 0:53:45.239
<v Speaker 1>and then his family ended up not surviving it, like

0:53:45.239 --> 0:53:47.560
<v Speaker 1>with a divorce and everything. So like he at a

0:53:47.640 --> 0:53:51.080
<v Speaker 1>young age learned how to cope with a lot of pain,

0:53:51.400 --> 0:53:53.840
<v Speaker 1>and is has always been like finding the joy. Finding

0:53:53.920 --> 0:53:56.440
<v Speaker 1>well that's a healthy outlet, because I mean it can

0:53:56.480 --> 0:53:59.000
<v Speaker 1>go the other way. And so that's why we try to,

0:53:59.560 --> 0:54:02.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, you try to find the fun and happiness

0:54:02.760 --> 0:54:05.279
<v Speaker 1>because it can go the other way really quickly, and

0:54:05.360 --> 0:54:08.040
<v Speaker 1>you got to realize, like you're here, life is happening,

0:54:08.080 --> 0:54:11.239
<v Speaker 1>and so in honor of your family or your loved

0:54:11.280 --> 0:54:13.799
<v Speaker 1>when it's like you don't want to live for them too,

0:54:13.960 --> 0:54:17.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, and you have to because life we know

0:54:17.800 --> 0:54:21.240
<v Speaker 1>ulto well, life does not stop. It doesn't matter what's happened.

0:54:21.239 --> 0:54:24.879
<v Speaker 1>Life doesn't stop. And you have to. You gotta pick

0:54:24.920 --> 0:54:28.719
<v Speaker 1>yourself up and no matter how horrible it is, you

0:54:28.760 --> 0:54:31.960
<v Speaker 1>have to keep going. And and that's what sucks, is like,

0:54:32.040 --> 0:54:35.480
<v Speaker 1>but it is also okay to have a bad day,

0:54:35.520 --> 0:54:37.360
<v Speaker 1>to feel it and to go, you know, I just

0:54:37.400 --> 0:54:40.120
<v Speaker 1>don't feel like dealing with this today, yes, and then

0:54:40.800 --> 0:54:42.960
<v Speaker 1>all the way down and that's okay. I have to

0:54:43.040 --> 0:54:45.640
<v Speaker 1>let myself do that, Like if I'm feeling something like

0:54:46.000 --> 0:54:48.920
<v Speaker 1>really emotional, like with the miscarriage and like actually randomly

0:54:48.920 --> 0:54:50.680
<v Speaker 1>my dad almost died this Christmas. He had a heart

0:54:50.719 --> 0:54:54.160
<v Speaker 1>attack and like we almost lost someone. Was very very traumatic,

0:54:54.360 --> 0:54:55.640
<v Speaker 1>but it came out of it. But it's like I

0:54:55.680 --> 0:54:58.080
<v Speaker 1>have to let myself break all the way down, like

0:54:58.160 --> 0:55:01.880
<v Speaker 1>I can't. I can't get back to myself until I

0:55:02.840 --> 0:55:05.920
<v Speaker 1>and that's and that's fine, I think that's healthy. I

0:55:05.960 --> 0:55:08.799
<v Speaker 1>think that's fine. I mean, like it's okay to hurt

0:55:08.800 --> 0:55:11.759
<v Speaker 1>because everybody everybody does. I don't care who you are.

0:55:12.360 --> 0:55:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Everybody has something and it's okay. What's your secret for

0:55:17.600 --> 0:55:19.880
<v Speaker 1>running a big household like this and keeping everybody in

0:55:19.920 --> 0:55:23.480
<v Speaker 1>line and keeping it all going? Oh God, I don't

0:55:23.520 --> 0:55:29.000
<v Speaker 1>have a secret. Prayer, Jesus and wine. That's about it.

0:55:29.120 --> 0:55:31.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I do have help, though, when I

0:55:31.160 --> 0:55:35.520
<v Speaker 1>have some of the most awesome help ever. But um,

0:55:36.640 --> 0:55:39.880
<v Speaker 1>there there is no secret. Every day is different. Because

0:55:40.160 --> 0:55:42.799
<v Speaker 1>every day is different. You don't know what you're gonna get,

0:55:43.280 --> 0:55:46.160
<v Speaker 1>especially when kids are involved. You just do it. You

0:55:46.200 --> 0:55:47.960
<v Speaker 1>just get up and do it. I love it. I
