1
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: Hey, folks. In this episode, it finally happened. After years

2
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:12,559
Speaker 1: of dating, I finally took Robock home to Mama. Yes.

3
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: Over the Memorial Day weekend, Rose made her first ever

4
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: trip to my hometown of West Memphis. So how did

5
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: it go, you may ask? In short, there were a

6
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 1: lot of ribs, a lot of ducks, a lot of music,

7
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: a lot of shootings, a lot of love, a lot

8
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: of inclement weather, a lot of mimosas, a lot of

9
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: unexpected tears, a lot of quality in law time, and

10
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: a whole lot of Elvis. There was also lots of poignant,

11
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: perfect words from perfect strangers that we look for to

12
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,639
Speaker 1: sharing with you. And with that, welcome to this episode

13
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: of Amy and TJ. Roobes off the top first time

14
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 1: going to my hometown. What was your impression?

15
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 2: I loved it. It was warm, but not just the weather.

16
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 2: It was inviting. I love the people in Memphis. I

17
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 2: loved the smell of Memphis. Everywhere you go, you just

18
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 2: smell barbecue. And I'm not kidding, like it was everywhere,

19
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 2: and I was hungry and we brought our appetites, but

20
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 2: it was just you know, what was especially fun for

21
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: me was to see you feel at home, to feel

22
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 2: that warm embrace from the place that brought you up,

23
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 2: and to see everyone else also be excited to see

24
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 2: a hometown boy come home. I just the whole thing

25
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 2: was beautiful for me to witness, and I felt like

26
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 2: I got to know you even more. I feel like

27
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 2: I know you really, really well. But when you go

28
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 2: back to someone's hometown and you see where they're from,

29
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 2: you understand them. And it's not even that I could

30
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 2: put it into words. I just it was YA got you. Yeah,

31
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 2: I just it was It's a part of you. And

32
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 2: it just felt cool to witness it and see it,

33
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 2: and I felt a little closer to you. We I

34
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 2: think we got even closer.

35
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: Anything you understand better after going now, I think, well,

36
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: so I didn't mean to ask that. I didn't mean

37
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: to put you on the spot there, But look.

38
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 2: You tend to be somebody who you're a warm, loving

39
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 2: kind person, but you have your guard up all the time,

40
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 2: and you're always your head is on a swivel, and

41
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 2: you are always looking around at your environment. And I

42
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 2: don't want to say you're distrustful of other people, but

43
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 2: you do have a healthy skepticism and walking the streets

44
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 2: of Memphis and seeing how you came up and seeing

45
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 2: how people live and work under a little bit of

46
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 2: a threat of violence that did. I think it made

47
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 2: a little bit more sense to me about why you

48
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: are the way you are.

49
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: And we should say I sat off the top. Is

50
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: the first time taking you home to Mama. Obviously you

51
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: have been around and hung out with my folks plenty,

52
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: but this was the first time you actually got to

53
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: go to my hometown and actually set foot in the

54
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: home where I grew up. So I don't go home

55
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: a lot. I think everybody knows me knows that. And

56
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 1: when I do go home and people hear me talk

57
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: about it, I go to Fayetteville, which is on the

58
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: other side of the state from where I'm from, because

59
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: that's where I went to school. But there's a reason

60
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: we decided to go home this time. Sorry, folks. It

61
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: wasn't necessarily because of y'all, but we had We looked

62
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: at the calendar a while back. I've been having some

63
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: foot injuries. We were trying to find a race to

64
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: kind of ease ourselves back into running.

65
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 2: Yes, so we found a ten k the Great American

66
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 2: River Run, and it was in early spring March right

67
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 2: where we decided to sign up. And I haven't run

68
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 2: a ten k in twenty plus years, and I thought

69
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 2: this will be a fun, nice, easier race for us

70
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,839
Speaker 2: to get back into racing. I needed a recovery race, yes, sure,

71
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 2: and honestly I did too. I've been struggling with my

72
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 2: nausea while running, and I've actually been questioning whether or

73
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 2: not I'm still a long distance runner because it's been

74
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 2: so miserable. So I thought this will be perfect for

75
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 2: both of us. We'll do a six point two mile

76
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 2: run and we'll get back into it.

77
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: Along the river. We were really really excited about this,

78
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: and we had done a certain amount of training to

79
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: get prepared for it, and I'd done a lot of

80
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: work on my achilles and on my foot sprain to

81
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: try to get it worked out. So we're excited for

82
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 1: the race. I think it's a manageable distance for us.

83
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: But the weather. As soon as we got there, we

84
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: had to keep a close eye. They weren't just talking

85
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: about rain coming robes. They were talking about for days

86
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: a severe weather situation that was coming through that area.

87
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: And it's the mid South, they get it all the time,

88
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: but man, the timing was one hundred percent perfectly awful

89
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 1: for us.

90
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 2: Right. So the rest of the day, by the way,

91
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 2: was gorgeous and sunny and beautiful. But at six eighteen

92
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 2: am and we were getting ready, we were up, we

93
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 2: were getting dressed, we were excited. Were like, you know,

94
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 2: we've run in the rain. Both of us have run

95
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 2: in the rain. Brooklyn half I had like a sideways

96
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 2: rain pounding me for thirteen point one miles, so we

97
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 2: brought rain gear. We were ready to go. But at

98
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 2: six eighteen am the alert came that they had well,

99
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 2: they said that they transitioned to the race to a

100
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 2: virtual one, so.

101
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: We couldn't get our money back.

102
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 2: Aka, they canceled it, but they didn't want to say

103
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 2: they canceled it.

104
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: It was canceled.

105
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was canceled.

106
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 1: And the crabby part we've been we've traveled going to

107
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: races before. This was the absolute best location we've ever had. Literally,

108
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: we looked out of our hotel window and the start

109
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: line was right.

110
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 2: There, the start and the finish LINEA all looked around,

111
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 2: so it was we were feet away from the start line.

112
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 2: So we thought, this is so convenient, this is so awesome.

113
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 2: Love running in the rain and seven point thirty was

114
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 2: our racetime and it came and went, and yes, there

115
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 2: we could hear the thunder, we could see the lightning.

116
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 2: It was an absolute threat that I understand why they

117
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 2: had to they had to cancel.

118
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: Those lightning in the area, and we get that. It

119
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: was disappointing, but we got over it pretty quickly. They're

120
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: just some things in life you can't do anything about.

121
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: And you know, that was a great exercise in us

122
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: and we should be absolutely we should be proud of

123
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 1: the fact that we handled that situation. This is something

124
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: we've been planning for months and it didn't happen. Oh well,

125
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: is all you can say. And just surrender to the moment.

126
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: This is what is going to be. So let's turn

127
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: this day into something else. And we did. We ended

128
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 1: up cutting up on Saturday in a major way. We'll

129
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: get into that in the second. But rhobes is something

130
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 1: I look, I grew up around it, and many people

131
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: there are under the constant threat of it. But I

132
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: told you, and almost warned you to a certain degree,

133
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 1: that this is a dangerous and can be a dangerous place,

134
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: and can be a dangerous city and a violent city.

135
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: And it didn't take long before somebody backed me up.

136
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: I should say, we didn't even get to the hotel.

137
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 2: No, we got into the uber. And when he was

138
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 2: dropping us off at our lovely, amazing hotel, the Peabody,

139
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 2: which I will say so many wonderful things about. But

140
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 2: as he was dropping us off, the uber driver said,

141
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 2: y'all be careful out there. It's dangerous. And I looked

142
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 2: at you and I thought, wow, that's crazy. We're coming

143
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 2: from New York City, right, And we get to Memphis,

144
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 2: this sweet southern town that's just filled with good vibes

145
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 2: and good smells and great music, by the way, blues

146
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 2: playing in the streets as soon as you get out

147
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 2: of the uber, and I'm being told be careful.

148
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: Look, I told you, I guess. Leading up to I said,

149
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 1: we didn't turn on a teeve. I told anticipate, Hey,

150
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: say hey, when we get that, just turn on the news,

151
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 1: every local news, and every top story. I'm telling you

152
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 1: it is going to be about somebody getting shot.

153
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 2: So we turn on the local news. We love watching

154
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 2: local news, by the way, every time we travel it's

155
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 2: the first thing we do. We actually spend a lot

156
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 2: of time watching local news. And you were not kidding, babe.

157
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 2: Every single morning, it wasn't one shooting, it wasn't two shootings,

158
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 2: and it was all breaking news, and it was just

159
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 2: shooting after shooting after shooting. It was fairly jaw dropping.

160
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: We can tell you now. There was a young mother

161
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: of three who was shot and killed over the weekend

162
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: in Memphis. We know that because we watched that top story.

163
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: There was another shooting at a hotel. We remember that

164
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: one as well. It was, like it's said, and I

165
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: didn't know this robes until I looked into it. But

166
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: a week and a half before we went to Memphis,

167
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: FBI director said Memphis is the murder capital of the US,

168
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: have more murders per capita than anywhere else in the country.

169
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that that sounds about right. We've heard

170
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: things over the years, but it's as much charm and yes,

171
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: people some people just go to Bill Street and get

172
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: out of there. But when you get out of downtown,

173
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: get town away from something. I mean, downtown can be dangerous.

174
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: But it's just sad that a place that I grew

175
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: up in love and has this much charm that you

176
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: are obviously in love with, that you get a warning

177
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: as soon as you get out of there.

178
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 2: It is God, it is sad because there is so

179
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 2: much beauty, from the people, to the buildings, to the music,

180
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 2: to the food. It just seems like such a shame

181
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 2: that now you have to live under that. And you

182
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 2: mentioned Beal Street, and if anyone's been to Memphis, you

183
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 2: know that is the street where everyone goes. We're all

184
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 2: the music and the food and the shopping and it's amazing.

185
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 2: But we went there during the day. One time, we

186
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 2: went by the night time and it actually seemed a

187
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 2: little scary to walk down there as well.

188
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: Look, I am always I know the town fairly well.

189
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: I know where to go and where not to go,

190
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: and I can tell when suffer doesn't feel right in

191
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 1: an environment, we need to get out of it. And

192
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: that was Yes, there was one night we said, no,

193
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: we don't want to be here, be out here where

194
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: there are metal detectors, just to go have a good time.

195
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: It just felt ominous to a certain degree, and we avoid.

196
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 1: Well, we got plenty of good time. Look, we're going on

197
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: about the violence and how that went, but we had

198
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: a great, great, great great time in Memphis, in particular

199
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 1: on Bill Street, of course, is where we spent most

200
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: of our time. But get this, folks, Robes never been

201
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: to Memphis before. Ella, Right, she has traveled all around

202
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:21,719
Speaker 1: the world. She has stayed at and also eaten at

203
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: some of the best places and some of the best

204
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: meals you could ever imagine. And do you know that, Roeboch,

205
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: first there were a trip to Memphis. The second place

206
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: she ate in Memphis, These words came out of her mouth.

207
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: This is the best thing I've ever eaten in my life.

208
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 2: I am a bit dramatic sometimes, I will give you that.

209
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: It was much.

210
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 2: I like my superlatives just as much as maybe the

211
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 2: President does. But yeah, we were in BB King's and

212
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 2: that was not the first, the second, or the third

213
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 2: time we were there. But yeah, you know, I didn't

214
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 2: grow up eating ribs. It's I've learned from you and

215
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 2: now from your father. It is a long and very

216
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 2: special process that I don't think anyone in my family

217
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 2: has the patience to deal with.

218
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: I don't either. I grew up around it, and I'm

219
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,319
Speaker 1: not a good rib maker, so let's say that.

220
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 2: But I could not believe how good these baby back

221
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 2: ribs were, from baby back, baby back from BB King

222
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 2: and you even were like, these aren't even the best,

223
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 2: like they might be a little dry. The next day

224
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 2: you said they were better, but I couldn't believe how

225
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 2: they just melted in my mouth. They were amazing. And

226
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 2: we're not putting barbecue sauce on things because we haven't

227
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 2: told people were Probably we're being annoying, I guess, but

228
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 2: we're doing a six week reset on keto, so no sugar,

229
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 2: no carbs, none of that. So we couldn't even put

230
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 2: barbecue sauce on the ribs. And that just speaks to

231
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 2: how well seasoned they were, with the dry rub and

232
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 2: the flavor and the juices. It didn't even need. You know,

233
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 2: sometimes you gotta smother these things and barbecue sauce to

234
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 2: make them taste the way you want them to. Didn't

235
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 2: even need a drop of barbecues.

236
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: That was hilarious to see you go crazy with those

237
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: ribs that day. Look, folk, I do not robes know

238
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 1: if I can remember eating that much. Like we ate

239
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: four five plus meals a day because everywhere we went

240
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: something smelled good. Let's just get one.

241
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 2: Bite, get a little bit, let's just get in. We

242
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 2: kept calling them like little appetizers.

243
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, slabber rips.

244
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,239
Speaker 2: That's all going from appetizer to appetizer to appetizer.

245
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,959
Speaker 1: We ate so well, But I'm so glad you love

246
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: BB King's the way you did. It's been there obviously

247
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: a long time. It's at that prime corner on Bill

248
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: Street if anybody's ever been there, but music is constantly playing,

249
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: like all day. Even when you think it's quiet in

250
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: there and nobody's really not much of a crowd, live

251
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: music is played. I what would you guess, I know

252
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: at least twice that day. How many stops do we

253
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: make in that place over the Memorial Day weekend?

254
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 2: I mean, all I can say is multiple.

255
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 1: It might have been up to five. We saw a

256
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: lot of music.

257
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 2: It was kind of embarrassed because the people were like, yeah, hey,

258
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,559
Speaker 2: we're back. Yeah, we were coming back again. I mean

259
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 2: hopefully they took it as a compliment. I was actually

260
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 2: a little embarrassed.

261
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 1: Don't be embarrassed. The place is great. Nobody was even

262
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: noticed we were there, probably but one lady that did notice.

263
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: And this was the first day there, and this is look,

264
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: this was I just walked you down there on the

265
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 1: first day. We got in late on Thursdays, just walked

266
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: down to the end of the street. Hey, take a look.

267
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: We're just standing at the beginning of Beal Street and

268
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: a woman runs out of BB King's. We thought she

269
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: worked there because she was recruiting us to come. She

270
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: was the sweetest, kindest, just complimentary. Love you guys, Come

271
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: on in, let me get you a drink. I actually asked,

272
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: do you work there? She said no, I'm a teacher

273
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: over fifth grade teacher. She was just sweet as pie.

274
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: And we did. Look. People come to us in public

275
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:38,959
Speaker 1: all the time, but folks come up to us in

276
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: a way there. That's just nobody would say, hey, let

277
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: me get a picture. They want to hug, maybe buy

278
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: your drink, come have a bite with us. Good to

279
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: see you, proud of you, all these things, and it's

280
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: something about that that, yes, Robes does feel different and

281
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: does make me love home.

282
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 2: You know what was really cool. I don't think anybody

283
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 2: this is unusual. And I don't mean to say anything.

284
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 2: If you want to get a picture, we love it.

285
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 2: If you ask, that's wonderful. We don't love it when

286
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 2: you take it without asking. But people weren't even asking

287
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 2: for that. People weren't asking anything from us or of us.

288
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 2: They were just wanting to give us something like literally,

289
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 2: that woman offered to give us food to please let me,

290
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 2: and then other people just coming by and just saying,

291
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 2: I love that y'all are still together. I love that

292
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 2: y'all are here. And it was just sweet and kind

293
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 2: and we both appreciated and it was noted another person.

294
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 1: Of know, there were several people we ran into that

295
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 1: made such an impression on us, but this was the first.

296
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: I said at the top. We ran too perfect strangers

297
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: who gave us perfect and poignant words. And one of

298
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: them was a lady, black lady who was working the

299
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 1: alcohol stand their own Bill Street, and I remember she

300
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: had blonde.

301
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 2: Hair, a yeah, Dolly Parton kind of a way.

302
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: It was awesome, It was great.

303
00:13:58,800 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 2: She stood out.

304
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: She was sweet. They're all, you know women in Memphis

305
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: and New Orleans, the ones that called everybody sugar and

306
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: baby and that those this is what it felt like.

307
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: But she was sweetest pie. But you did something and

308
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 1: I don't know what it was, but she had a

309
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: great comeback. When I just joked with you. See, I

310
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: looked at her, I said, hey, can't take her anywhere.

311
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: It was just a joke. We were just having a

312
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: good time. Yeah, it was nothing to it. And then

313
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: she said something that made me stop in my tracks.

314
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: I say to her, look at her talking about you.

315
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: I said, ah, you know, robes here, can't take her anywhere.

316
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 2: And then she said to you, you should take her everywhere.

317
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: Boom.

318
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 2: How amazing was that?

319
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: Boom?

320
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 2: I wanted to go give her a hug.

321
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: At that part, I just thought it was sweet. That

322
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: was just a sweet thing.

323
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 2: It was quick witted too. There's I mean, sharp and poignant,

324
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 2: like you said. I thought it was just a nice

325
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 2: little reminder. Yeah, we can joke a lot, but you

326
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 2: should take her everywhere.

327
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: I love it, and I wish I got her name.

328
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: I think we knew it for a second and I

329
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: didn't remember it. And if I go down there, I

330
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: will seek her out. If you all know the blonde

331
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: lady that works the alcohol stand on Bill Street, it's

332
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: a little diagonal from Phoebe King's across the street there.

333
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: If you know her, please tell her we appreciated her.

334
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: And it actually meant something to us that she said that.

335
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: The other highlight has to be just if we went

336
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: and stayed at the Peabody Hotel. Yes, by the way,

337
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: I don't stay at home. When I go home, I

338
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: stay at a hotel. But the hotel in Memphis it's

339
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: my to this day. Been all over the world. My

340
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: one hundred percent favorite hotel on planet Earth is the

341
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: Peabody Hotel in downtown Memphis. And Robes, you've heard about

342
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: it for years. You could probably see now why I

343
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: love this place.

344
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 2: Yet you've been talking about this hotel for a very

345
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 2: long time, and a very special something they do twice

346
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 2: a day, every single day, and I never understood it

347
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 2: when you were explaining it to me. You said, to me, Robes,

348
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 2: They've got these ducks and they live in a penthouse

349
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 2: suite on top of the Peabody Hotel, and every day

350
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 2: they march them down and their train to come down

351
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 2: the elevator, walk in a direct line down a red

352
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 2: carpet into the fountain that's in the middle of the lobby,

353
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 2: and everyone watches and cheers on these ducks. I said,

354
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, what did you just say?

355
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: All of that is accurate, it's ULTI So if you

356
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: go into that hotel any point during the day, the

357
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: ducks will be in this big fountain in the middle,

358
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: five of them swimming around. They will hop out for

359
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: a second. But they won't ever try to fly anywhere.

360
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: They won't ever try to escape, They won't ever get

361
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: off the fountain. They will stay there all day and

362
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: they march back and forth. It's a tradition, they go.

363
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna explain the whole thing, but it's a

364
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: long standing tradition there that has to do with some

365
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: dunk hunters and some Jack Daniel's alcohol. But the tradition continues,

366
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: and they have a duck master, a guy dressed up

367
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: who has a duck cane who guides them in and out. Now,

368
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: what was your when You've heard about it forever, but

369
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: you got to get a peek of it on that

370
00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: first full day we were there. We didn't sit down

371
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: it all in, but you looked and you were able

372
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: to at least see and see the crowd gathered. What

373
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:05,360
Speaker 1: was your impression once you saw it?

374
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 2: It was awesome, It was a spectacle. It was traditional,

375
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 2: and I saw you light up like I don't know

376
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 2: how old you were when you first saw it, like

377
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 2: a six year old boy. Maybe I saw you turn

378
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 2: back into that kid and looking at the magic of

379
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 2: it and watching the spectacle of it, and just it

380
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 2: was beautiful and sweet, and there aren't many things in

381
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 2: this world left, especially when we're talking about what perhaps

382
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 2: is going on in the outskirts of Memphis that isn't

383
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 2: so great. To see people coming in from all walks

384
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 2: of life. Some people seeing it for the first time,

385
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 2: some people bringing their kids back to a tradition they loved,

386
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 2: or exposing their kids to a new tradition. But this

387
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,479
Speaker 2: is something where people came together. It didn't matter what

388
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 2: you look like or where you lived, and everybody got

389
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 2: to cheer on these ducks walking all in a row.

390
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 2: It's just it's sweet. There aren't many moments like this.

391
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: Alone run It's weird kind of it's fun, but it

392
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: has a cool story to it. And I'm telling the

393
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: lobby is packed every single time they walk them in

394
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: at eleven am. They walk in out at five and

395
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,360
Speaker 1: the place is packed and they're cheering and kid, yes,

396
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: I went as a kid. I took sabine as a kid.

397
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: It's just I love it and gone countless times and

398
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 1: every time I light up, well, I guess to see it.

399
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: So we met the duck master Keenan. I didn't know him.

400
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: Apparently his brother saw us and he came over to

401
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: his said hello, and he has a whole presentation. He does,

402
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: but Keenan is the duck Master and love his brother.

403
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: He does it five days a week, he does, but

404
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 1: then he has somebody's substitute in for him for a

405
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 1: couple of days. But it's an on, folks, if you

406
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: ever go to Memphis, you have to take the time

407
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: to do this at.

408
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 2: Brody and to see the pride and joy he has

409
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 2: in doing his job and bringing other people into the

410
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 2: magic of the ducks was really cool. He took to you.

411
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 2: I have to say, I think it's the most excited

412
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 2: I've ever seen you. But any gain, no gift I've

413
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,439
Speaker 2: given you, has ever brought you this much joy. But

414
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 2: he gave you your own official duck Master Kane, and he

415
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 2: signed it. And you actually left it with your parents

416
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 2: because you were afraid that you would get it taken

417
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 2: away at TSA. It does have a bill at the end.

418
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 1: Anybody signed it. He signed it to me two t

419
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,199
Speaker 1: holmes from Keenan the duck Mass and loved it. Was

420
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 1: again I was a kid watching this and now I

421
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: come over there and the duck Master recognizes us and

422
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: wants to gift me this, I lost my mind. So

423
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: this was a very very big deal to me. Gerard,

424
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: another guy that works there in the lobby, did something

425
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 1: that was absolutely hilarious. Now I didn't I don't think

426
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: we had talked to him beforehand, but he spotted us

427
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: at some point doing something somewhere in the hotel, being

428
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: having drinks, being silly, having a good time. I'm down

429
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 1: there by myself at one point in the lobby. You

430
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: were up in the room. He comes over to me,

431
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: and he's not a big like an outgoing guy. He

432
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 1: almost like have to lean in. Is he going to

433
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: say something? Kind of quiet but sweet guy. And I

434
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: couldn't understand what he was saying. And he said, hey,

435
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 1: I don't want to you know, and I don't want

436
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: to be presumptuous here and you know, give anybody the

437
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: wrong impression. I didn't know what he was talking about.

438
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,880
Speaker 1: And I look down at his hand and he's holding

439
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 1: two rubber ducks, one dressed as a bride and one

440
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: dressed there as a groom. And it was hilarious. I

441
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: fell out in the middle of the lobby. Couldn't wait

442
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 1: to show you.

443
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 2: It was adorable. And then we kept getting little ducks.

444
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 2: People drink Mimosa's around while they're watching the ducks come

445
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 2: in and the duck master do his show. So every

446
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,360
Speaker 2: time you order a mimosa, they give you a little

447
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,919
Speaker 2: rubber ducky. So you now have the bride in the

448
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 2: groom lined up in your bedroom with little rubber duckies

449
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 2: that we collected along the way. It's hilarious that is

450
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 2: now on display in your bedroom.

451
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: We should look, folks. We will post pictures from what happened,

452
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: because I know a lot of y'all like calling bullshit.

453
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 1: This stuff didn't happen. It actually happened. And there were

454
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: ducks robes. Saw you light up? There are ducks everywhere.

455
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,199
Speaker 1: Duck merchandise, I should say, everything you can imagine that

456
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: has a duck on it is being made, including some

457
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,880
Speaker 1: underwear that on the back was I say, butt quack, yes, yes,

458
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: And we bought.

459
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 2: Some of that any like you know, no ducking way,

460
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 2: thank you, so ducking much like anything you can do

461
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 2: with duck. It's there for purchase, and we were obsessed

462
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 2: with it and we wanted all of it. Glasses, water bottles.

463
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 2: I got a hoodie that I think Sabine is very envious.

464
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 2: Of Now you better keep an eye on at it

465
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 2: big duck in the front. If I'm missing it, I

466
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 2: know where it is. T shirts. I mean, if it

467
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 2: wasn't if it didn't have a duck on it, it had

468
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 2: something to do with Elvis between the two. That was everywhere.

469
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 2: And we went to town literally and you know.

470
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: What we were just before we started recording this episode.

471
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: Here we actually discussed, you know what, we forgot to

472
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: get those drinking glasses. We're gonna order some stuff now.

473
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 2: Dazzled duck fantasic drinking glasses. Can't put them in the dishwasher,

474
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:35,439
Speaker 2: but man, they're gorgeous.

475
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: They are absolutely gorgeous. So the duck ceremony were talking

476
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 1: about here, you just got a glimpse of it. But

477
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: on Saturday, after we knew our race wasn't happening, we

478
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: just go we just lose our minds.

479
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 2: In a weird way. You know, we were a little bit,

480
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 2: we were a little bit we're definitely disappointed that the

481
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 2: race wasn't happening. But we went downstairs. We thought, wait,

482
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 2: now we have time to secure a perfect seat for

483
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 2: the duck ceremony. And we hadn't figured out what we

484
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,239
Speaker 2: were going to do with your parents, and so we

485
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 2: invited them to come join us. They only lived ten

486
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 2: minutes away, so we ended up having the best morning

487
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 2: with your parents watching the ducks. That wouldn't have happened

488
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 2: if the race had been canceled.

489
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,239
Speaker 1: And please know, folks, the ceremony is at eleven, but

490
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: folks start showing up at nine trying to get a

491
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: good spot, So our race got canceled. We found a spot.

492
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: Bartender loves us. Give us some mimosas and the rubber

493
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: duckies and we're gonna be good. So we got a spot,

494
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 1: prime prime spot. Keenan, our duck master friend now hooked

495
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 1: us up during the ceremony and was calling us out

496
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 1: and it was a little embarrassing at times, but it

497
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 1: was fun. You still felt, Look, I'm this age, I've

498
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: been coming to this hotel my whole life, and now

499
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: the duck master recognizes us during a ceremony. That's a

500
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:45,679
Speaker 1: big deal for me.

501
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get.

502
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: That, I've won Emmys. This was a bigger deal.

503
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 2: The duck master Kane and recognition at the duck ceremony. Yes,

504
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 2: that's everything. That's a full circle moment for you. And

505
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 2: you weren't just putting on. I was looking at you

506
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 2: and you could just see this sweet, pure joy. I

507
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 2: just there aren't many things in life where you can

508
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 2: have that, and it was just cool to see you

509
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 2: feel that, and I was felt really honored to be

510
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 2: a part of it.

511
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: Well, thank you for that. It was honored to have

512
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 1: you there to be a part of But the final look,

513
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 1: we hung out with my parents that day and then

514
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 1: we sent them home because we had a party in

515
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: the Dog on Saturday.

516
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 2: We had to go back to bb King.

517
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: Let's be honest, Okay, we had that to do, and well, yeah,

518
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: there was a big day. We're you nervous at all?

519
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: Going so again to explain a little geography to folks,

520
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: I am from West Memphis. Of course, people know Memphis now.

521
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: When I say where I'm from, I usually just say

522
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: West Memphis and leave it at that. People get it

523
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: good enough of an idea. But I am from West Memphis, Arkansas. Technically,

524
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: I am from a town that is in the state

525
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: of Arkansas. If you've ever been to Memphis, if you're

526
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 1: standing in Memphis looking at the Mississippi River on the

527
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: other side is Arkansas. That first time you come to

528
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: is West Memphis, so I grew up in the Memphis

529
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: culture and whatnot, but technically I'm an Arkansas boy, so

530
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: we had to get maneuver go across the bridge to

531
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 1: West Memphis. You're about to go to my parents' house,

532
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: the home I grew up in for the first time.

533
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: Were you nervous at all?

534
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 2: I wasn't nervous because I know your parents. This is

535
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 2: I've spent time with them, and we obviously had spent

536
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 2: time with them the day before. I love your parents.

537
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 2: I think they're so sweet. They're so proud of you,

538
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 2: and it was now I knew it was gonna be fun.

539
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 2: And your dad was so excited to cook. He has

540
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 2: seven grills, and I got to see them in person.

541
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,199
Speaker 2: I'd seen pictures you had sent me of them, but

542
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,959
Speaker 2: I actually came out, and it's impressive, Like, WHOA, I

543
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 2: cannot believe one person has this many grills. But I

544
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 2: loved going into your Not many people even have childhood

545
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 2: homes still I certainly don't, so it was really cool

546
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 2: to see the room you grew up in the backyard

547
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 2: that's been filled in, but the pool you once jumped

548
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 2: in just where it was just putting it all into

549
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 2: perspective to see it and see your parents in their

550
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 2: own home environment, you and your it was I again,

551
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 2: you just feel closer to somebody when you see where

552
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 2: they come from, and especially if you get the opportunity

553
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 2: to see where they grew up.

554
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 1: Anytime you go home, why is it parents have to

555
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: cook for you. It'll have to take you out to eat,

556
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 1: no matter what take care of you, level of success

557
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: you reach, it doesn't matter. They always had like it's

558
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: almost an obligation. You have to let them do that

559
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 1: for you, exactly. And they were dying, dying to take

560
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: us out for the several days we were there, but

561
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: they finally got to cook on Sunday, which was a

562
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 1: terrible weather day, like serious inclement weather that day, and

563
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 1: Pops fired up the grill like six am.

564
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 2: And of course, so he fires up the grill at

565
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 2: six am because we just mentioned ribs take so long

566
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 2: to cook. But my goodness, right when we got there,

567
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 2: I think within five ten minutes, the skies opened up

568
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 2: thunder lightning. I mean the skies were black, and and

569
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 2: it rolled in right at the time when your dad,

570
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 2: like the critical time when you're trying to take the

571
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 2: meat off the grill, and so y'all had the umbrella

572
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 2: running back in and by the way, they were amazing.

573
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 2: Your dad kept saying, oh, they're not as good. I

574
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 2: had to do this. The rain cooled down the grill,

575
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 2: which totally makes sense, but I thought they were amazing.

576
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: Say and let us. I know you've seen pictures in

577
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: the past. I've gone home and I'm cooking with my

578
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,959
Speaker 1: family and we go to town. You've seen it before,

579
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: and I think you've like, what the hell, who's coming

580
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 1: and what's happening? So this event, we had four people, right,

581
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 1: me and you, Mom and dad.

582
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 2: It was so funny because you were like, Dad, who

583
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 2: else is coming? Why did you cook so much food?

584
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 2: Which made me laugh because that's exactly what I say

585
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 2: to you every time we prepare a meal. I'm like,

586
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 2: is anyone coming? Why do we have ten plates filled

587
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 2: with meat right now?

588
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 1: Okay? So four people, eight slabs of ribs and seven

589
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: filet mignon.

590
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 2: Yes, and that's not a joke. Plus he was going

591
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 2: to put on sausages, but we were like, maybe maybe

592
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,120
Speaker 2: we don't need to make those as well. Plus your

593
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 2: mom a cake for you.

594
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: Sorry, Mama couldn't eat because.

595
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 2: We had to explain that we're not eating sugar right now.

596
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 2: That's terrible, is it? I still feel bad about that.

597
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 1: Boundaries you have have to have boundaries.

598
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 2: It looked like a beautiful bunt cake and it was

599
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 2: your favorite, your.

600
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: Favorite cake, and I couldn't eat it. Eat it? What

601
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: do you want for me?

602
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 2: But we had asparagus and cauliflower. It was very sweet.

603
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 2: They elt Brussels sprouts. They went and found all the

604
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 2: vegetables that we do eat and could eat. It was

605
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 2: very very sweet of that.

606
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 1: But all that food they made us eat on little

607
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: plastic football plates. What was that about the paper? Even

608
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 1: you know.

609
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 2: They had them. It was efficient. Wanted to use them.

610
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 2: You're like, what are these from? But it you know,

611
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 2: it worked.

612
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: I gave them a hard time about it, but it's

613
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 1: it always is good to go back and I'm glad

614
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,679
Speaker 1: you got to see it. And yes, that's my that's it.

615
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: That's where little Tea Junior, not TJ. I was never

616
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: called TJ.

617
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,439
Speaker 2: In that house, junior, And that's what they still call

618
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 2: you all.

619
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 1: I have ever been called. So that was a fun day.

620
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: On Sunday? Did we go was it that day? Yeah?

621
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: We went shopping again. We went back.

622
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 2: We went shopping almost every day. Yes, yes, but we

623
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 2: then we went shopping and then we realized, ooh, maybe

624
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 2: I should just go back and get one more thing.

625
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 2: And you were a little envious of a sweatshirt I got.

626
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 1: Oh, I was pissed. Envious is tough. I prefer to

627
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 1: be jealous, okay, because when I'm jealous of something, it

628
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: means I also want what you have. When I'm envious,

629
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: it feels like I also don't want you to have it,

630
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 1: like I'm mad.

631
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, So well, you were a little envious.

632
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 1: I was mad.

633
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 2: You're a little mad that I got a sweatshirt that

634
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 2: I loved so much.

635
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: But when you crossed the line to envious, I know

636
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: this is not good because I was. I was upset

637
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: how happy you were. I was happy.

638
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 2: I was happy because the rain had cooled things off

639
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 2: so much, and I had more like warmer weather clothing.

640
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 2: So the fact that I had bought this Bulle Street

641
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 2: Memphis oversized sweatshirt meant the next day, when it was

642
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 2: a little cooler, I could just put on some leggings

643
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 2: in my oversized sweatshirt, and I did feel cool.

644
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: You looked good, You really looked cute in that thing,

645
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: and it's a great, great sweater. But we go back

646
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: to that same spot. She had bought the sweater a

647
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: day or two ahead of time, but we went back

648
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: to that same spot to check maybe there's something there

649
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: for me, since you found something that was so great.

650
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: But I ended up getting something great out of there

651
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 1: that was not a piece of merchandise. I cannot remember

652
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: her name either, white lady that was working that shop.

653
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: This one was good. I mean, I couldn't believe because so.

654
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 2: Quick these women were, and I appreciated what they had

655
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 2: to say. So TJ is looking around, and this woman's

656
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:36,719
Speaker 2: laughing at us, because I think we were going back

657
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 2: and forth with each other. And so to explain what

658
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 2: we were talking about, TJ said to the woman, I'm

659
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 2: trying to find something I love as much as she

660
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 2: loves that sweatshirt. And the woman said to TJ, you

661
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 2: already have her.

662
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: Didn't miss a beat. We immediately didn't miss a beat.

663
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 2: You already have her.

664
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 1: And as she that was a mic drop, no response.

665
00:29:58,280 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: I just want to hug that lady. I want to

666
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: to cry. I want that was so sweet and a nice,

667
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: little simple reminder of little things and life, you know

668
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 1: that weekends where I have never had a weekend like

669
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: that at home because I have a perspective now about

670
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: my life that I can now view through my home

671
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: town experiences that is different. And that woman said that

672
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: to me, and I just I was We were giddy,

673
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: we were tickled. I was just so touched, you know.

674
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 2: It was said to me, can you please write that

675
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 2: down right now so we won't forget, because sometimes we

676
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 2: forget exactly how things are worded. But it's just so cool.

677
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 2: I'm trying to find something I love as much as

678
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 2: she loves that sweatshirt. You already have her. Oh love

679
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 2: that lady, and people can give you advice that lands

680
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 2: in the moments. It was silly, but it's just that

681
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 2: immediate perspective, like, wow, it's so true. As much as

682
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 2: we were having fun, it's not what you have, it's

683
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 2: who you have. You know.

684
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: In both of those instances, the black lady with the

685
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: blonde hair that we're describing and this one here, I

686
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: was just kind of a throwaway line, making a joke,

687
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: and they responded with something poignant. They were still they

688
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: matched my silliness to a certain degree, but they said

689
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: something poignant that made me stop in my tracks and

690
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: I just love, love, love both of those women who

691
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: have no idea the impression they made on us.

692
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 2: Oh no, and yeah, and we wrote them what we

693
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 2: wrote down what they had to say, so we did

694
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 2: not forget and we knew we wanted to put this

695
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 2: in the podcast because I think it's just one of

696
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 2: those cool takeaways. Listen. You know we talk a lot,

697
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 2: but sometimes if you listen, people have such smart things

698
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 2: to say, people who lived longer and learned a lot more.

699
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 2: And I was really blown away by ah By.

700
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 1: They're a wisdom and unlessen to everybody as well. You

701
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: never know, I mean, everybody tries to right. You don't

702
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: want to put some effort in sometimes, I say, because

703
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 1: you don't feel like you can change the world. But

704
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: what's the line. What you do can mean the world

705
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: to one person. They have no idea the impression they made,

706
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: so it just don't folks, Even if you don't see

707
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: the results and you don't get the credit, sometimes being

708
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: a good person and saying the right word in the

709
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 1: right moment can mean everything to somebody. So please don't

710
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: stop being a good person.

711
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 2: That's very cool. We had some we had some fun moments.

712
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 2: We were working while we were there, and we were

713
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 2: trying to figure out how did we get We got

714
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 2: on a Brian McKnight kick where we started listening to

715
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 2: every song but fell in love with One Last Cry.

716
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: Oh Why. It was a weird. We were working one Why.

717
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: I don't even know why what happened, and Brian McKnight

718
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 1: came up and we put it on as we were

719
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: working and six eight twelve, One Last Cry anytime? We

720
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 1: just started getting on a Brian after hit after hit.

721
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 2: We just went right back to Brian McKnight. And then

722
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 2: I don't know if this jarred me, but we were

723
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 2: just talking after listening to all this music. We were

724
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 2: out and about and I don't even know what it

725
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 2: was that you said you were I think you said

726
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 2: something kind of joking to me about just about us

727
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 2: liking each other, about us getting along so well, about

728
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 2: us being so compatible, and I just started crying, and

729
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 2: You're like, what is going on right now?

730
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 1: Are we in public?

731
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 2: Because I was on a street corner we were waiting

732
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 2: for that we were waiting for the street light to

733
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 2: allow us to cross the street, and I got embarrassed.

734
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 2: I had to turn around, like what are you doing.

735
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm crying. I just I felt so grateful.

736
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 2: It just hid me about how grateful I feel. Oh

737
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 2: my god, I'm gonna cry now. But after everything, just

738
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 2: to know that at the end of the day, if

739
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 2: you get to end up with your best friend and

740
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 2: all days aren't great and there are good times in

741
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 2: bad times, but I'm with my best friend and there's

742
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 2: no one I'd rather be on that street with then you,

743
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 2: And so I just started to cry. I was like, so,

744
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 2: I feel like the theme of the of the of the

745
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 2: weekend free was like became the Ryan at night night song,

746
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 2: but not for his one last cry was getting over somebody.

747
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 2: This was a good cry about recognizing how lucky I

748
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 2: am to be with somebody.

749
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 1: And I hope it was the last one as well.

750
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 1: I would really hope that was one last cry.

751
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 2: Sorry for publicly embarrassing.

752
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 1: I didn't realize it was muggy out. We just got

753
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: a beer over here, a shot over there. What were

754
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: we crying?

755
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 2: I feel like I had allergies or something.

756
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: It was funny, you were not sad in the moment,

757
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:10,840
Speaker 1: but still it came. It was grateful out of nowhere.

758
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 1: I don't want to call it the highlight, but it

759
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 1: certainly was a good way to send us off. Yes,

760
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 1: when we were at the airport and we need you

761
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 1: all's help on this one. Okay, we were leaving. Look,

762
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 1: we get a lot of looks and people looking at

763
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 1: the sideways. We can know they recognize us, but then

764
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 1: they don't come over and all this stuff, so we

765
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: see it all the time. We sat at a bar

766
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:33,280
Speaker 1: at the Memphis Airport a few spots from our gates,

767
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 1: will right to board, ready to go. The guy sitting

768
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: there never says anything, but then he gets ready to

769
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 1: go after about ten or fifteen minutes, and we could

770
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,919
Speaker 1: we since that he was kind of looking our way.

771
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 1: But I didn't expect this.

772
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 2: No, people say all sorts of stuff to us, but

773
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 2: this was really fun and it was funny. So he

774
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 2: comes up finally has the courage, I guess, to come

775
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:59,760
Speaker 2: up to TJ. And he says, I know who you are. Okay,

776
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 2: just look at him. We don't give him anything, and

777
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 2: then he says, you know what, You're too good of

778
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 2: an actor for me not to know.

779
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 1: Keep up the good work, thanks man, and let him walk,

780
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 1: And that was.

781
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 2: First into into laughter. He was so sure that he knew,

782
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 2: and in fact, you're so good at what you do.

783
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,879
Speaker 2: How could I not know? You never said your name.

784
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 2: But man, you're a damn good actor.

785
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 1: And that's why it's no way you, sir, can walk

786
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: through this airport and not be recognized because you're so

787
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: good at acting, is what he's telling me. Like, you

788
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 1: think you could get through here and it's not recognize you?

789
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: Do you? Mister? Who the hell could he be confusing

790
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 1: me with?

791
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 2: We were trying to think what actor he could have

792
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:42,839
Speaker 2: thought you were.

793
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 1: I cannot come up with one.

794
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 2: Not I always forget the hot guy from Bridgerton. I

795
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 2: always had a questions.

796
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: I'll never get mixed up with reggae John.

797
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:54,240
Speaker 2: I know, I never can remember his name.

798
00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: Light skinned brothers whatever. Fine, but he's had fifteen years

799
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 1: at least younger than me, maybe even twenty.

800
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 2: You look so young, big, But I do think that

801
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 2: people know they saw you on TV. He doesn't know.

802
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: That's probably what it is.

803
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 2: Okay, you probably spent those ten minutes trying to figure

804
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 2: out what show you were on. He's like, you know what,

805
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 2: I don't know it, but I'm just gonna acknowledge that

806
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 2: I know he's on TV. So he assumed you were

807
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:19,280
Speaker 2: an actor?

808
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:21,840
Speaker 1: You think so you don't think he's actually got me

809
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:22,720
Speaker 1: mixed up with an actor?

810
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 2: It could be either or, but I'd love to hear

811
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 2: who people think, if y'all want to jump in on

812
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 2: our social media, who could possibly could be mixed on? Like?

813
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: Legitimately you walk down the street and go was that?

814
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: Who could I possibly be mixed up with? I can't imagine,

815
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: but that was funny. If you'll have any guesses, I

816
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,479
Speaker 1: would love to and a legitimate one, not just something

817
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,479
Speaker 1: I'm really curious and know way he could even think about.

818
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: But well, you know what he gets. I get actor

819
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 1: a lot. People say you're an actor, right, and I say, man,

820
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: must not be a very good one because you don't

821
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 1: know who I am. And I keep moving people laughing,

822
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 1: It keeps me walking. This one you got me?

823
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:01,879
Speaker 2: So he thought he dropped the mic too. He thought

824
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:03,919
Speaker 2: he had like a mic drop moment. Yeah, he said

825
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 2: it as he was walking away left way. Yeah, how

826
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:06,600

835
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: that the whole purpose of the trip got canceled. Yeah,

836
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,800

Speaker 1: what we got out of it. It ain't that a

838
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 1: euphemism for life. This is not why I came here.
