WEBVTT - T.J. Finally Takes Robach Home

0:00:02.880 --> 0:00:07.920
<v Speaker 1>Hey, folks. In this episode, it finally happened. After years

0:00:08.080 --> 0:00:12.559
<v Speaker 1>of dating, I finally took Robock home to Mama. Yes.

0:00:12.680 --> 0:00:15.200
<v Speaker 1>Over the Memorial Day weekend, Rose made her first ever

0:00:15.280 --> 0:00:19.040
<v Speaker 1>trip to my hometown of West Memphis. So how did

0:00:19.120 --> 0:00:22.480
<v Speaker 1>it go, you may ask? In short, there were a

0:00:22.520 --> 0:00:24.600
<v Speaker 1>lot of ribs, a lot of ducks, a lot of music,

0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:27.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot of shootings, a lot of love, a lot

0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:29.720
<v Speaker 1>of inclement weather, a lot of mimosas, a lot of

0:00:29.800 --> 0:00:32.400
<v Speaker 1>unexpected tears, a lot of quality in law time, and

0:00:32.479 --> 0:00:35.440
<v Speaker 1>a whole lot of Elvis. There was also lots of poignant,

0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:39.519
<v Speaker 1>perfect words from perfect strangers that we look for to

0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:41.639
<v Speaker 1>sharing with you. And with that, welcome to this episode

0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:44.760
<v Speaker 1>of Amy and TJ. Roobes off the top first time

0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:48.199
<v Speaker 1>going to my hometown. What was your impression?

0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:53.320
<v Speaker 2>I loved it. It was warm, but not just the weather.

0:00:53.560 --> 0:00:57.760
<v Speaker 2>It was inviting. I love the people in Memphis. I

0:00:57.800 --> 0:01:01.400
<v Speaker 2>loved the smell of Memphis. Everywhere you go, you just

0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:05.399
<v Speaker 2>smell barbecue. And I'm not kidding, like it was everywhere,

0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:08.800
<v Speaker 2>and I was hungry and we brought our appetites, but

0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:11.840
<v Speaker 2>it was just you know, what was especially fun for

0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:16.720
<v Speaker 2>me was to see you feel at home, to feel

0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:20.000
<v Speaker 2>that warm embrace from the place that brought you up,

0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:23.840
<v Speaker 2>and to see everyone else also be excited to see

0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:26.000
<v Speaker 2>a hometown boy come home. I just the whole thing

0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:28.280
<v Speaker 2>was beautiful for me to witness, and I felt like

0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:30.200
<v Speaker 2>I got to know you even more. I feel like

0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:32.280
<v Speaker 2>I know you really, really well. But when you go

0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:34.640
<v Speaker 2>back to someone's hometown and you see where they're from,

0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:37.880
<v Speaker 2>you understand them. And it's not even that I could

0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:41.760
<v Speaker 2>put it into words. I just it was YA got you. Yeah,

0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:44.360
<v Speaker 2>I just it was It's a part of you. And

0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:46.560
<v Speaker 2>it just felt cool to witness it and see it,

0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:49.120
<v Speaker 2>and I felt a little closer to you. We I

0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:50.480
<v Speaker 2>think we got even closer.

0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:54.920
<v Speaker 1>Anything you understand better after going now, I think, well,

0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:56.240
<v Speaker 1>so I didn't mean to ask that. I didn't mean

0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:58.080
<v Speaker 1>to put you on the spot there, But look.

0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:01.480
<v Speaker 2>You tend to be somebody who you're a warm, loving

0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:04.240
<v Speaker 2>kind person, but you have your guard up all the time,

0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:07.240
<v Speaker 2>and you're always your head is on a swivel, and

0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:10.480
<v Speaker 2>you are always looking around at your environment. And I

0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:12.760
<v Speaker 2>don't want to say you're distrustful of other people, but

0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:16.040
<v Speaker 2>you do have a healthy skepticism and walking the streets

0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:18.440
<v Speaker 2>of Memphis and seeing how you came up and seeing

0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:21.240
<v Speaker 2>how people live and work under a little bit of

0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:24.680
<v Speaker 2>a threat of violence that did. I think it made

0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:26.600
<v Speaker 2>a little bit more sense to me about why you

0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:27.440
<v Speaker 2>are the way you are.

0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:29.200
<v Speaker 1>And we should say I sat off the top. Is

0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:31.320
<v Speaker 1>the first time taking you home to Mama. Obviously you

0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:33.440
<v Speaker 1>have been around and hung out with my folks plenty,

0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:35.080
<v Speaker 1>but this was the first time you actually got to

0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:37.680
<v Speaker 1>go to my hometown and actually set foot in the

0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:41.200
<v Speaker 1>home where I grew up. So I don't go home

0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:44.880
<v Speaker 1>a lot. I think everybody knows me knows that. And

0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:46.359
<v Speaker 1>when I do go home and people hear me talk

0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:48.080
<v Speaker 1>about it, I go to Fayetteville, which is on the

0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:51.800
<v Speaker 1>other side of the state from where I'm from, because

0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:56.080
<v Speaker 1>that's where I went to school. But there's a reason

0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:58.800
<v Speaker 1>we decided to go home this time. Sorry, folks. It

0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:01.560
<v Speaker 1>wasn't necessarily because of y'all, but we had We looked

0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:03.320
<v Speaker 1>at the calendar a while back. I've been having some

0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:05.120
<v Speaker 1>foot injuries. We were trying to find a race to

0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:07.640
<v Speaker 1>kind of ease ourselves back into running.

0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:11.720
<v Speaker 2>Yes, so we found a ten k the Great American

0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:15.280
<v Speaker 2>River Run, and it was in early spring March right

0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:18.600
<v Speaker 2>where we decided to sign up. And I haven't run

0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:21.800
<v Speaker 2>a ten k in twenty plus years, and I thought

0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:25.360
<v Speaker 2>this will be a fun, nice, easier race for us

0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:28.839
<v Speaker 2>to get back into racing. I needed a recovery race, yes, sure,

0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:31.720
<v Speaker 2>and honestly I did too. I've been struggling with my

0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:35.120
<v Speaker 2>nausea while running, and I've actually been questioning whether or

0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:37.360
<v Speaker 2>not I'm still a long distance runner because it's been

0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:39.840
<v Speaker 2>so miserable. So I thought this will be perfect for

0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:41.720
<v Speaker 2>both of us. We'll do a six point two mile

0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:43.520
<v Speaker 2>run and we'll get back into it.

0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:45.680
<v Speaker 1>Along the river. We were really really excited about this,

0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:48.840
<v Speaker 1>and we had done a certain amount of training to

0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:50.920
<v Speaker 1>get prepared for it, and I'd done a lot of

0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:54.680
<v Speaker 1>work on my achilles and on my foot sprain to

0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:57.320
<v Speaker 1>try to get it worked out. So we're excited for

0:03:57.400 --> 0:04:00.080
<v Speaker 1>the race. I think it's a manageable distance for us.

0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:03.520
<v Speaker 1>But the weather. As soon as we got there, we

0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:05.240
<v Speaker 1>had to keep a close eye. They weren't just talking

0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:08.240
<v Speaker 1>about rain coming robes. They were talking about for days

0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:11.320
<v Speaker 1>a severe weather situation that was coming through that area.

0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:13.400
<v Speaker 1>And it's the mid South, they get it all the time,

0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:17.080
<v Speaker 1>but man, the timing was one hundred percent perfectly awful

0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:17.599
<v Speaker 1>for us.

0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:19.640
<v Speaker 2>Right. So the rest of the day, by the way,

0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:23.080
<v Speaker 2>was gorgeous and sunny and beautiful. But at six eighteen

0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:26.000
<v Speaker 2>am and we were getting ready, we were up, we

0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:28.839
<v Speaker 2>were getting dressed, we were excited. Were like, you know,

0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:30.520
<v Speaker 2>we've run in the rain. Both of us have run

0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:33.720
<v Speaker 2>in the rain. Brooklyn half I had like a sideways

0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:37.120
<v Speaker 2>rain pounding me for thirteen point one miles, so we

0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:39.560
<v Speaker 2>brought rain gear. We were ready to go. But at

0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:43.400
<v Speaker 2>six eighteen am the alert came that they had well,

0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:46.320
<v Speaker 2>they said that they transitioned to the race to a

0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:47.400
<v Speaker 2>virtual one, so.

0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:48.360
<v Speaker 1>We couldn't get our money back.

0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:50.760
<v Speaker 2>Aka, they canceled it, but they didn't want to say

0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:51.520
<v Speaker 2>they canceled it.

0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:52.080
<v Speaker 1>It was canceled.

0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:53.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was canceled.

0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:56.279
<v Speaker 1>And the crabby part we've been we've traveled going to

0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:59.960
<v Speaker 1>races before. This was the absolute best location we've ever had. Literally,

0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:02.960
<v Speaker 1>we looked out of our hotel window and the start

0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:03.640
<v Speaker 1>line was right.

0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:05.880
<v Speaker 2>There, the start and the finish LINEA all looked around,

0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:10.880
<v Speaker 2>so it was we were feet away from the start line.

0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:13.479
<v Speaker 2>So we thought, this is so convenient, this is so awesome.

0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:17.120
<v Speaker 2>Love running in the rain and seven point thirty was

0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:19.200
<v Speaker 2>our racetime and it came and went, and yes, there

0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:21.960
<v Speaker 2>we could hear the thunder, we could see the lightning.

0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:26.279
<v Speaker 2>It was an absolute threat that I understand why they

0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:28.160
<v Speaker 2>had to they had to cancel.

0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:29.560
<v Speaker 1>Those lightning in the area, and we get that. It

0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:32.520
<v Speaker 1>was disappointing, but we got over it pretty quickly. They're

0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:34.320
<v Speaker 1>just some things in life you can't do anything about.

0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:36.800
<v Speaker 1>And you know, that was a great exercise in us

0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:39.320
<v Speaker 1>and we should be absolutely we should be proud of

0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:41.280
<v Speaker 1>the fact that we handled that situation. This is something

0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:45.120
<v Speaker 1>we've been planning for months and it didn't happen. Oh well,

0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:48.080
<v Speaker 1>is all you can say. And just surrender to the moment.

0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:49.520
<v Speaker 1>This is what is going to be. So let's turn

0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:53.480
<v Speaker 1>this day into something else. And we did. We ended

0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:56.160
<v Speaker 1>up cutting up on Saturday in a major way. We'll

0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:58.040
<v Speaker 1>get into that in the second. But rhobes is something

0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:01.480
<v Speaker 1>I look, I grew up around it, and many people

0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:04.000
<v Speaker 1>there are under the constant threat of it. But I

0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:06.640
<v Speaker 1>told you, and almost warned you to a certain degree,

0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:09.839
<v Speaker 1>that this is a dangerous and can be a dangerous place,

0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:12.120
<v Speaker 1>and can be a dangerous city and a violent city.

0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:15.920
<v Speaker 1>And it didn't take long before somebody backed me up.

0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:17.560
<v Speaker 1>I should say, we didn't even get to the hotel.

0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:20.600
<v Speaker 2>No, we got into the uber. And when he was

0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:24.440
<v Speaker 2>dropping us off at our lovely, amazing hotel, the Peabody,

0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:28.320
<v Speaker 2>which I will say so many wonderful things about. But

0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:30.800
<v Speaker 2>as he was dropping us off, the uber driver said,

0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:34.120
<v Speaker 2>y'all be careful out there. It's dangerous. And I looked

0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:36.160
<v Speaker 2>at you and I thought, wow, that's crazy. We're coming

0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:40.000
<v Speaker 2>from New York City, right, And we get to Memphis,

0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:44.279
<v Speaker 2>this sweet southern town that's just filled with good vibes

0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:47.120
<v Speaker 2>and good smells and great music, by the way, blues

0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:49.040
<v Speaker 2>playing in the streets as soon as you get out

0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:51.960
<v Speaker 2>of the uber, and I'm being told be careful.

0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:56.240
<v Speaker 1>Look, I told you, I guess. Leading up to I said,

0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:58.600
<v Speaker 1>we didn't turn on a teeve. I told anticipate, Hey,

0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:02.000
<v Speaker 1>say hey, when we get that, just turn on the news,

0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:05.160
<v Speaker 1>every local news, and every top story. I'm telling you

0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:06.839
<v Speaker 1>it is going to be about somebody getting shot.

0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:09.479
<v Speaker 2>So we turn on the local news. We love watching

0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:12.320
<v Speaker 2>local news, by the way, every time we travel it's

0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:13.760
<v Speaker 2>the first thing we do. We actually spend a lot

0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:17.640
<v Speaker 2>of time watching local news. And you were not kidding, babe.

0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Every single morning, it wasn't one shooting, it wasn't two shootings,

0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:24.240
<v Speaker 2>and it was all breaking news, and it was just

0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:27.920
<v Speaker 2>shooting after shooting after shooting. It was fairly jaw dropping.

0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:30.000
<v Speaker 1>We can tell you now. There was a young mother

0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:32.240
<v Speaker 1>of three who was shot and killed over the weekend

0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:35.080
<v Speaker 1>in Memphis. We know that because we watched that top story.

0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:37.360
<v Speaker 1>There was another shooting at a hotel. We remember that

0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:40.560
<v Speaker 1>one as well. It was, like it's said, and I

0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:42.560
<v Speaker 1>didn't know this robes until I looked into it. But

0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:45.040
<v Speaker 1>a week and a half before we went to Memphis,

0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:50.000
<v Speaker 1>FBI director said Memphis is the murder capital of the US,

0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:54.360
<v Speaker 1>have more murders per capita than anywhere else in the country.

0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:57.320
<v Speaker 1>I didn't realize that that sounds about right. We've heard

0:07:57.360 --> 0:08:01.080
<v Speaker 1>things over the years, but it's as much charm and yes,

0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:03.040
<v Speaker 1>people some people just go to Bill Street and get

0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:05.000
<v Speaker 1>out of there. But when you get out of downtown,

0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:07.520
<v Speaker 1>get town away from something. I mean, downtown can be dangerous.

0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:09.520
<v Speaker 1>But it's just sad that a place that I grew

0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:11.320
<v Speaker 1>up in love and has this much charm that you

0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:14.400
<v Speaker 1>are obviously in love with, that you get a warning

0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:15.360
<v Speaker 1>as soon as you get out of there.

0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:17.640
<v Speaker 2>It is God, it is sad because there is so

0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:21.200
<v Speaker 2>much beauty, from the people, to the buildings, to the music,

0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:23.280
<v Speaker 2>to the food. It just seems like such a shame

0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:24.680
<v Speaker 2>that now you have to live under that. And you

0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:27.240
<v Speaker 2>mentioned Beal Street, and if anyone's been to Memphis, you

0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:31.040
<v Speaker 2>know that is the street where everyone goes. We're all

0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:33.800
<v Speaker 2>the music and the food and the shopping and it's amazing.

0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:36.000
<v Speaker 2>But we went there during the day. One time, we

0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.360
<v Speaker 2>went by the night time and it actually seemed a

0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:39.959
<v Speaker 2>little scary to walk down there as well.

0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:44.160
<v Speaker 1>Look, I am always I know the town fairly well.

0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:45.560
<v Speaker 1>I know where to go and where not to go,

0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:47.640
<v Speaker 1>and I can tell when suffer doesn't feel right in

0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:49.440
<v Speaker 1>an environment, we need to get out of it. And

0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:51.640
<v Speaker 1>that was Yes, there was one night we said, no,

0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:54.400
<v Speaker 1>we don't want to be here, be out here where

0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:57.720
<v Speaker 1>there are metal detectors, just to go have a good time.

0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:01.080
<v Speaker 1>It just felt ominous to a certain degree, and we avoid.

0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Well, we got plenty of good time. Look, we're going on

0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:04.840
<v Speaker 1>about the violence and how that went, but we had

0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:07.800
<v Speaker 1>a great, great, great great time in Memphis, in particular

0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:10.680
<v Speaker 1>on Bill Street, of course, is where we spent most

0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:12.600
<v Speaker 1>of our time. But get this, folks, Robes never been

0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:16.640
<v Speaker 1>to Memphis before. Ella, Right, she has traveled all around

0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:21.719
<v Speaker 1>the world. She has stayed at and also eaten at

0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:23.720
<v Speaker 1>some of the best places and some of the best

0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:26.720
<v Speaker 1>meals you could ever imagine. And do you know that, Roeboch,

0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:29.960
<v Speaker 1>first there were a trip to Memphis. The second place

0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:32.640
<v Speaker 1>she ate in Memphis, These words came out of her mouth.

0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:35.480
<v Speaker 1>This is the best thing I've ever eaten in my life.

0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:38.559
<v Speaker 2>I am a bit dramatic sometimes, I will give you that.

0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:39.320
<v Speaker 1>It was much.

0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:43.200
<v Speaker 2>I like my superlatives just as much as maybe the

0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:46.760
<v Speaker 2>President does. But yeah, we were in BB King's and

0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:48.839
<v Speaker 2>that was not the first, the second, or the third

0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:51.400
<v Speaker 2>time we were there. But yeah, you know, I didn't

0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:56.560
<v Speaker 2>grow up eating ribs. It's I've learned from you and

0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:59.520
<v Speaker 2>now from your father. It is a long and very

0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:02.280
<v Speaker 2>special process that I don't think anyone in my family

0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:04.079
<v Speaker 2>has the patience to deal with.

0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:05.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't either. I grew up around it, and I'm

0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:08.319
<v Speaker 1>not a good rib maker, so let's say that.

0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:12.120
<v Speaker 2>But I could not believe how good these baby back

0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:15.120
<v Speaker 2>ribs were, from baby back, baby back from BB King

0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:17.400
<v Speaker 2>and you even were like, these aren't even the best,

0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:19.600
<v Speaker 2>like they might be a little dry. The next day

0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:22.319
<v Speaker 2>you said they were better, but I couldn't believe how

0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:27.080
<v Speaker 2>they just melted in my mouth. They were amazing. And

0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:30.200
<v Speaker 2>we're not putting barbecue sauce on things because we haven't

0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:32.480
<v Speaker 2>told people were Probably we're being annoying, I guess, but

0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:35.800
<v Speaker 2>we're doing a six week reset on keto, so no sugar,

0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:38.439
<v Speaker 2>no carbs, none of that. So we couldn't even put

0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:41.280
<v Speaker 2>barbecue sauce on the ribs. And that just speaks to

0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:43.800
<v Speaker 2>how well seasoned they were, with the dry rub and

0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:46.000
<v Speaker 2>the flavor and the juices. It didn't even need. You know,

0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:48.240
<v Speaker 2>sometimes you gotta smother these things and barbecue sauce to

0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:50.440
<v Speaker 2>make them taste the way you want them to. Didn't

0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:52.880
<v Speaker 2>even need a drop of barbecues.

0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:55.400
<v Speaker 1>That was hilarious to see you go crazy with those

0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:58.160
<v Speaker 1>ribs that day. Look, folk, I do not robes know

0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:02.440
<v Speaker 1>if I can remember eating that much. Like we ate

0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:06.920
<v Speaker 1>four five plus meals a day because everywhere we went

0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:09.240
<v Speaker 1>something smelled good. Let's just get one.

0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:11.200
<v Speaker 2>Bite, get a little bit, let's just get in. We

0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:12.960
<v Speaker 2>kept calling them like little appetizers.

0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:14.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, slabber rips.

0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:19.239
<v Speaker 2>That's all going from appetizer to appetizer to appetizer.

0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:21.959
<v Speaker 1>We ate so well, But I'm so glad you love

0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:23.960
<v Speaker 1>BB King's the way you did. It's been there obviously

0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:26.680
<v Speaker 1>a long time. It's at that prime corner on Bill

0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:29.720
<v Speaker 1>Street if anybody's ever been there, but music is constantly playing,

0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:31.840
<v Speaker 1>like all day. Even when you think it's quiet in

0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:34.600
<v Speaker 1>there and nobody's really not much of a crowd, live

0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:37.920
<v Speaker 1>music is played. I what would you guess, I know

0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:40.360
<v Speaker 1>at least twice that day. How many stops do we

0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:42.760
<v Speaker 1>make in that place over the Memorial Day weekend?

0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:44.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean, all I can say is multiple.

0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:47.439
<v Speaker 1>It might have been up to five. We saw a

0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:47.960
<v Speaker 1>lot of music.

0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:50.640
<v Speaker 2>It was kind of embarrassed because the people were like, yeah, hey,

0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:54.559
<v Speaker 2>we're back. Yeah, we were coming back again. I mean

0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:57.040
<v Speaker 2>hopefully they took it as a compliment. I was actually

0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:57.920
<v Speaker 2>a little embarrassed.

0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:01.199
<v Speaker 1>Don't be embarrassed. The place is great. Nobody was even

0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:03.960
<v Speaker 1>noticed we were there, probably but one lady that did notice.

0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:06.440
<v Speaker 1>And this was the first day there, and this is look,

0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:08.480
<v Speaker 1>this was I just walked you down there on the

0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:11.080
<v Speaker 1>first day. We got in late on Thursdays, just walked

0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:13.000
<v Speaker 1>down to the end of the street. Hey, take a look.

0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:17.040
<v Speaker 1>We're just standing at the beginning of Beal Street and

0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:19.600
<v Speaker 1>a woman runs out of BB King's. We thought she

0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:23.600
<v Speaker 1>worked there because she was recruiting us to come. She

0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:27.760
<v Speaker 1>was the sweetest, kindest, just complimentary. Love you guys, Come

0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:29.920
<v Speaker 1>on in, let me get you a drink. I actually asked,

0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:31.480
<v Speaker 1>do you work there? She said no, I'm a teacher

0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:34.760
<v Speaker 1>over fifth grade teacher. She was just sweet as pie.

0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:37.000
<v Speaker 1>And we did. Look. People come to us in public

0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:38.959
<v Speaker 1>all the time, but folks come up to us in

0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:42.000
<v Speaker 1>a way there. That's just nobody would say, hey, let

0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:44.000
<v Speaker 1>me get a picture. They want to hug, maybe buy

0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:46.360
<v Speaker 1>your drink, come have a bite with us. Good to

0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:48.720
<v Speaker 1>see you, proud of you, all these things, and it's

0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:52.120
<v Speaker 1>something about that that, yes, Robes does feel different and

0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:53.240
<v Speaker 1>does make me love home.

0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:04.880
<v Speaker 2>You know what was really cool. I don't think anybody

0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:07.960
<v Speaker 2>this is unusual. And I don't mean to say anything.

0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:09.440
<v Speaker 2>If you want to get a picture, we love it.

0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:11.679
<v Speaker 2>If you ask, that's wonderful. We don't love it when

0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:14.600
<v Speaker 2>you take it without asking. But people weren't even asking

0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:17.280
<v Speaker 2>for that. People weren't asking anything from us or of us.

0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:21.120
<v Speaker 2>They were just wanting to give us something like literally,

0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:23.960
<v Speaker 2>that woman offered to give us food to please let me,

0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:26.440
<v Speaker 2>and then other people just coming by and just saying,

0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:28.680
<v Speaker 2>I love that y'all are still together. I love that

0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:31.280
<v Speaker 2>y'all are here. And it was just sweet and kind

0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:36.400
<v Speaker 2>and we both appreciated and it was noted another person.

0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:38.080
<v Speaker 1>Of know, there were several people we ran into that

0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:40.680
<v Speaker 1>made such an impression on us, but this was the first.

0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:42.760
<v Speaker 1>I said at the top. We ran too perfect strangers

0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:46.440
<v Speaker 1>who gave us perfect and poignant words. And one of

0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:48.880
<v Speaker 1>them was a lady, black lady who was working the

0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:52.559
<v Speaker 1>alcohol stand their own Bill Street, and I remember she

0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:53.400
<v Speaker 1>had blonde.

0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:56.920
<v Speaker 2>Hair, a yeah, Dolly Parton kind of a way.

0:13:57.360 --> 0:13:58.760
<v Speaker 1>It was awesome, It was great.

0:13:58.800 --> 0:13:59.400
<v Speaker 2>She stood out.

0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:03.920
<v Speaker 1>She was sweet. They're all, you know women in Memphis

0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:07.280
<v Speaker 1>and New Orleans, the ones that called everybody sugar and

0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:09.840
<v Speaker 1>baby and that those this is what it felt like.

0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:13.080
<v Speaker 1>But she was sweetest pie. But you did something and

0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:14.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what it was, but she had a

0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:18.200
<v Speaker 1>great comeback. When I just joked with you. See, I

0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:20.480
<v Speaker 1>looked at her, I said, hey, can't take her anywhere.

0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:21.960
<v Speaker 1>It was just a joke. We were just having a

0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:25.720
<v Speaker 1>good time. Yeah, it was nothing to it. And then

0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:27.880
<v Speaker 1>she said something that made me stop in my tracks.

0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:30.960
<v Speaker 1>I say to her, look at her talking about you.

0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:34.320
<v Speaker 1>I said, ah, you know, robes here, can't take her anywhere.

0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:37.920
<v Speaker 2>And then she said to you, you should take her everywhere.

0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:38.720
<v Speaker 1>Boom.

0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:40.880
<v Speaker 2>How amazing was that?

0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:41.440
<v Speaker 1>Boom?

0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:42.960
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to go give her a hug.

0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:44.400
<v Speaker 1>At that part, I just thought it was sweet. That

0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:46.600
<v Speaker 1>was just a sweet thing.

0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:50.800
<v Speaker 2>It was quick witted too. There's I mean, sharp and poignant,

0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:52.960
<v Speaker 2>like you said. I thought it was just a nice

0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:55.280
<v Speaker 2>little reminder. Yeah, we can joke a lot, but you

0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:56.520
<v Speaker 2>should take her everywhere.

0:14:56.720 --> 0:14:59.000
<v Speaker 1>I love it, and I wish I got her name.

0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:00.160
<v Speaker 1>I think we knew it for a second and I

0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:02.040
<v Speaker 1>didn't remember it. And if I go down there, I

0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:05.320
<v Speaker 1>will seek her out. If you all know the blonde

0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:10.120
<v Speaker 1>lady that works the alcohol stand on Bill Street, it's

0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:13.800
<v Speaker 1>a little diagonal from Phoebe King's across the street there.

0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:17.080
<v Speaker 1>If you know her, please tell her we appreciated her.

0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:19.760
<v Speaker 1>And it actually meant something to us that she said that.

0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:22.840
<v Speaker 1>The other highlight has to be just if we went

0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:25.280
<v Speaker 1>and stayed at the Peabody Hotel. Yes, by the way,

0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:27.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't stay at home. When I go home, I

0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:30.720
<v Speaker 1>stay at a hotel. But the hotel in Memphis it's

0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:33.120
<v Speaker 1>my to this day. Been all over the world. My

0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:36.520
<v Speaker 1>one hundred percent favorite hotel on planet Earth is the

0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:40.240
<v Speaker 1>Peabody Hotel in downtown Memphis. And Robes, you've heard about

0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:42.680
<v Speaker 1>it for years. You could probably see now why I

0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:43.280
<v Speaker 1>love this place.

0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:45.480
<v Speaker 2>Yet you've been talking about this hotel for a very

0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:49.760
<v Speaker 2>long time, and a very special something they do twice

0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:52.840
<v Speaker 2>a day, every single day, and I never understood it

0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:55.840
<v Speaker 2>when you were explaining it to me. You said, to me, Robes,

0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:58.960
<v Speaker 2>They've got these ducks and they live in a penthouse

0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:02.240
<v Speaker 2>suite on top of the Peabody Hotel, and every day

0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:05.240
<v Speaker 2>they march them down and their train to come down

0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:08.040
<v Speaker 2>the elevator, walk in a direct line down a red

0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:11.120
<v Speaker 2>carpet into the fountain that's in the middle of the lobby,

0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:14.680
<v Speaker 2>and everyone watches and cheers on these ducks. I said,

0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:16.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry, what did you just say?

0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:20.160
<v Speaker 1>All of that is accurate, it's ULTI So if you

0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:22.000
<v Speaker 1>go into that hotel any point during the day, the

0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:24.120
<v Speaker 1>ducks will be in this big fountain in the middle,

0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:27.000
<v Speaker 1>five of them swimming around. They will hop out for

0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:29.520
<v Speaker 1>a second. But they won't ever try to fly anywhere.

0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:31.800
<v Speaker 1>They won't ever try to escape, They won't ever get

0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:34.520
<v Speaker 1>off the fountain. They will stay there all day and

0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:36.600
<v Speaker 1>they march back and forth. It's a tradition, they go.

0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:38.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna explain the whole thing, but it's a

0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:40.240
<v Speaker 1>long standing tradition there that has to do with some

0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:44.280
<v Speaker 1>dunk hunters and some Jack Daniel's alcohol. But the tradition continues,

0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:47.440
<v Speaker 1>and they have a duck master, a guy dressed up

0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:51.320
<v Speaker 1>who has a duck cane who guides them in and out. Now,

0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:54.240
<v Speaker 1>what was your when You've heard about it forever, but

0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:57.840
<v Speaker 1>you got to get a peek of it on that

0:16:57.920 --> 0:16:59.800
<v Speaker 1>first full day we were there. We didn't sit down

0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:01.920
<v Speaker 1>it all in, but you looked and you were able

0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:04.040
<v Speaker 1>to at least see and see the crowd gathered. What

0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:05.360
<v Speaker 1>was your impression once you saw it?

0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:09.520
<v Speaker 2>It was awesome, It was a spectacle. It was traditional,

0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:11.560
<v Speaker 2>and I saw you light up like I don't know

0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:13.159
<v Speaker 2>how old you were when you first saw it, like

0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:16.080
<v Speaker 2>a six year old boy. Maybe I saw you turn

0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:18.520
<v Speaker 2>back into that kid and looking at the magic of

0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:21.680
<v Speaker 2>it and watching the spectacle of it, and just it

0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:24.960
<v Speaker 2>was beautiful and sweet, and there aren't many things in

0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:27.840
<v Speaker 2>this world left, especially when we're talking about what perhaps

0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:30.120
<v Speaker 2>is going on in the outskirts of Memphis that isn't

0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:33.080
<v Speaker 2>so great. To see people coming in from all walks

0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:35.280
<v Speaker 2>of life. Some people seeing it for the first time,

0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:37.960
<v Speaker 2>some people bringing their kids back to a tradition they loved,

0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:40.000
<v Speaker 2>or exposing their kids to a new tradition. But this

0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:42.479
<v Speaker 2>is something where people came together. It didn't matter what

0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:44.920
<v Speaker 2>you look like or where you lived, and everybody got

0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:47.840
<v Speaker 2>to cheer on these ducks walking all in a row.

0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:50.760
<v Speaker 2>It's just it's sweet. There aren't many moments like this.

0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Alone run It's weird kind of it's fun, but it

0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:55.960
<v Speaker 1>has a cool story to it. And I'm telling the

0:17:56.160 --> 0:17:58.840
<v Speaker 1>lobby is packed every single time they walk them in

0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:01.320
<v Speaker 1>at eleven am. They walk in out at five and

0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:04.360
<v Speaker 1>the place is packed and they're cheering and kid, yes,

0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:07.080
<v Speaker 1>I went as a kid. I took sabine as a kid.

0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:10.480
<v Speaker 1>It's just I love it and gone countless times and

0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:13.679
<v Speaker 1>every time I light up, well, I guess to see it.

0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:16.560
<v Speaker 1>So we met the duck master Keenan. I didn't know him.

0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:18.800
<v Speaker 1>Apparently his brother saw us and he came over to

0:18:18.840 --> 0:18:22.480
<v Speaker 1>his said hello, and he has a whole presentation. He does,

0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:25.560
<v Speaker 1>but Keenan is the duck Master and love his brother.

0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:27.840
<v Speaker 1>He does it five days a week, he does, but

0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:29.680
<v Speaker 1>then he has somebody's substitute in for him for a

0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:31.879
<v Speaker 1>couple of days. But it's an on, folks, if you

0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:33.800
<v Speaker 1>ever go to Memphis, you have to take the time

0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:35.040
<v Speaker 1>to do this at.

0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:37.600
<v Speaker 2>Brody and to see the pride and joy he has

0:18:37.640 --> 0:18:40.520
<v Speaker 2>in doing his job and bringing other people into the

0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:43.200
<v Speaker 2>magic of the ducks was really cool. He took to you.

0:18:43.640 --> 0:18:46.000
<v Speaker 2>I have to say, I think it's the most excited

0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:48.000
<v Speaker 2>I've ever seen you. But any gain, no gift I've

0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:50.439
<v Speaker 2>given you, has ever brought you this much joy. But

0:18:50.520 --> 0:18:53.679
<v Speaker 2>he gave you your own official duck Master Kane, and he

0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:56.160
<v Speaker 2>signed it. And you actually left it with your parents

0:18:56.200 --> 0:18:58.160
<v Speaker 2>because you were afraid that you would get it taken

0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:01.200
<v Speaker 2>away at TSA. It does have a bill at the end.

0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Anybody signed it. He signed it to me two t

0:19:04.040 --> 0:19:07.199
<v Speaker 1>holmes from Keenan the duck Mass and loved it. Was

0:19:07.280 --> 0:19:09.679
<v Speaker 1>again I was a kid watching this and now I

0:19:09.760 --> 0:19:12.720
<v Speaker 1>come over there and the duck Master recognizes us and

0:19:12.760 --> 0:19:14.760
<v Speaker 1>wants to gift me this, I lost my mind. So

0:19:14.840 --> 0:19:17.560
<v Speaker 1>this was a very very big deal to me. Gerard,

0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:21.000
<v Speaker 1>another guy that works there in the lobby, did something

0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:23.880
<v Speaker 1>that was absolutely hilarious. Now I didn't I don't think

0:19:23.880 --> 0:19:27.040
<v Speaker 1>we had talked to him beforehand, but he spotted us

0:19:27.080 --> 0:19:30.240
<v Speaker 1>at some point doing something somewhere in the hotel, being

0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:32.960
<v Speaker 1>having drinks, being silly, having a good time. I'm down

0:19:33.000 --> 0:19:35.879
<v Speaker 1>there by myself at one point in the lobby. You

0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:37.800
<v Speaker 1>were up in the room. He comes over to me,

0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:40.200
<v Speaker 1>and he's not a big like an outgoing guy. He

0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:42.200
<v Speaker 1>almost like have to lean in. Is he going to

0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:45.240
<v Speaker 1>say something? Kind of quiet but sweet guy. And I

0:19:45.240 --> 0:19:47.800
<v Speaker 1>couldn't understand what he was saying. And he said, hey,

0:19:47.840 --> 0:19:49.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to you know, and I don't want

0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:51.800
<v Speaker 1>to be presumptuous here and you know, give anybody the

0:19:51.840 --> 0:19:54.000
<v Speaker 1>wrong impression. I didn't know what he was talking about.

0:19:54.119 --> 0:19:56.880
<v Speaker 1>And I look down at his hand and he's holding

0:19:56.960 --> 0:20:00.159
<v Speaker 1>two rubber ducks, one dressed as a bride and one

0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:03.320
<v Speaker 1>dressed there as a groom. And it was hilarious. I

0:20:03.520 --> 0:20:05.800
<v Speaker 1>fell out in the middle of the lobby. Couldn't wait

0:20:05.880 --> 0:20:06.359
<v Speaker 1>to show you.

0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:09.960
<v Speaker 2>It was adorable. And then we kept getting little ducks.

0:20:10.240 --> 0:20:13.760
<v Speaker 2>People drink Mimosa's around while they're watching the ducks come

0:20:13.800 --> 0:20:15.680
<v Speaker 2>in and the duck master do his show. So every

0:20:15.680 --> 0:20:17.360
<v Speaker 2>time you order a mimosa, they give you a little

0:20:17.440 --> 0:20:20.919
<v Speaker 2>rubber ducky. So you now have the bride in the

0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:24.600
<v Speaker 2>groom lined up in your bedroom with little rubber duckies

0:20:24.640 --> 0:20:28.000
<v Speaker 2>that we collected along the way. It's hilarious that is

0:20:28.000 --> 0:20:29.720
<v Speaker 2>now on display in your bedroom.

0:20:29.840 --> 0:20:32.960
<v Speaker 1>We should look, folks. We will post pictures from what happened,

0:20:32.960 --> 0:20:35.320
<v Speaker 1>because I know a lot of y'all like calling bullshit.

0:20:35.400 --> 0:20:37.640
<v Speaker 1>This stuff didn't happen. It actually happened. And there were

0:20:37.720 --> 0:20:40.840
<v Speaker 1>ducks robes. Saw you light up? There are ducks everywhere.

0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:44.199
<v Speaker 1>Duck merchandise, I should say, everything you can imagine that

0:20:44.240 --> 0:20:48.000
<v Speaker 1>has a duck on it is being made, including some

0:20:48.320 --> 0:20:51.880
<v Speaker 1>underwear that on the back was I say, butt quack, yes, yes,

0:20:51.920 --> 0:20:52.720
<v Speaker 1>And we bought.

0:20:52.480 --> 0:20:54.600
<v Speaker 2>Some of that any like you know, no ducking way,

0:20:54.720 --> 0:20:57.240
<v Speaker 2>thank you, so ducking much like anything you can do

0:20:57.320 --> 0:21:00.800
<v Speaker 2>with duck. It's there for purchase, and we were obsessed

0:21:00.880 --> 0:21:03.760
<v Speaker 2>with it and we wanted all of it. Glasses, water bottles.

0:21:03.800 --> 0:21:06.440
<v Speaker 2>I got a hoodie that I think Sabine is very envious.

0:21:06.520 --> 0:21:07.879
<v Speaker 2>Of Now you better keep an eye on at it

0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:10.760
<v Speaker 2>big duck in the front. If I'm missing it, I

0:21:10.800 --> 0:21:13.760
<v Speaker 2>know where it is. T shirts. I mean, if it

0:21:13.840 --> 0:21:15.560
<v Speaker 2>wasn't if it didn't have a duck on it, it had

0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:19.359
<v Speaker 2>something to do with Elvis between the two. That was everywhere.

0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:22.880
<v Speaker 2>And we went to town literally and you know.

0:21:22.840 --> 0:21:25.240
<v Speaker 1>What we were just before we started recording this episode.

0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:27.320
<v Speaker 1>Here we actually discussed, you know what, we forgot to

0:21:27.359 --> 0:21:31.520
<v Speaker 1>get those drinking glasses. We're gonna order some stuff now.

0:21:31.359 --> 0:21:34.480
<v Speaker 2>Dazzled duck fantasic drinking glasses. Can't put them in the dishwasher,

0:21:34.560 --> 0:21:35.439
<v Speaker 2>but man, they're gorgeous.

0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:38.320
<v Speaker 1>They are absolutely gorgeous. So the duck ceremony were talking

0:21:38.359 --> 0:21:40.879
<v Speaker 1>about here, you just got a glimpse of it. But

0:21:41.080 --> 0:21:44.080
<v Speaker 1>on Saturday, after we knew our race wasn't happening, we

0:21:44.200 --> 0:21:46.240
<v Speaker 1>just go we just lose our minds.

0:21:45.960 --> 0:21:47.919
<v Speaker 2>In a weird way. You know, we were a little bit,

0:21:48.440 --> 0:21:50.480
<v Speaker 2>we were a little bit we're definitely disappointed that the

0:21:50.560 --> 0:21:53.680
<v Speaker 2>race wasn't happening. But we went downstairs. We thought, wait,

0:21:54.119 --> 0:21:58.240
<v Speaker 2>now we have time to secure a perfect seat for

0:21:58.520 --> 0:22:00.879
<v Speaker 2>the duck ceremony. And we hadn't figured out what we

0:22:00.880 --> 0:22:02.239
<v Speaker 2>were going to do with your parents, and so we

0:22:02.280 --> 0:22:04.800
<v Speaker 2>invited them to come join us. They only lived ten

0:22:04.840 --> 0:22:07.639
<v Speaker 2>minutes away, so we ended up having the best morning

0:22:07.720 --> 0:22:10.440
<v Speaker 2>with your parents watching the ducks. That wouldn't have happened

0:22:10.440 --> 0:22:11.439
<v Speaker 2>if the race had been canceled.

0:22:11.480 --> 0:22:14.239
<v Speaker 1>And please know, folks, the ceremony is at eleven, but

0:22:14.280 --> 0:22:16.760
<v Speaker 1>folks start showing up at nine trying to get a

0:22:16.800 --> 0:22:20.320
<v Speaker 1>good spot, So our race got canceled. We found a spot.

0:22:20.600 --> 0:22:23.600
<v Speaker 1>Bartender loves us. Give us some mimosas and the rubber

0:22:23.680 --> 0:22:26.600
<v Speaker 1>duckies and we're gonna be good. So we got a spot,

0:22:26.680 --> 0:22:31.639
<v Speaker 1>prime prime spot. Keenan, our duck master friend now hooked

0:22:31.720 --> 0:22:34.120
<v Speaker 1>us up during the ceremony and was calling us out

0:22:34.160 --> 0:22:36.159
<v Speaker 1>and it was a little embarrassing at times, but it

0:22:36.280 --> 0:22:39.160
<v Speaker 1>was fun. You still felt, Look, I'm this age, I've

0:22:39.160 --> 0:22:40.760
<v Speaker 1>been coming to this hotel my whole life, and now

0:22:41.080 --> 0:22:44.960
<v Speaker 1>the duck master recognizes us during a ceremony. That's a

0:22:44.960 --> 0:22:45.679
<v Speaker 1>big deal for me.

0:22:45.800 --> 0:22:46.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I get.

0:22:46.720 --> 0:22:51.240
<v Speaker 1>That, I've won Emmys. This was a bigger deal.

0:22:51.680 --> 0:22:55.880
<v Speaker 2>The duck master Kane and recognition at the duck ceremony. Yes,

0:22:55.960 --> 0:22:58.440
<v Speaker 2>that's everything. That's a full circle moment for you. And

0:22:59.480 --> 0:23:02.280
<v Speaker 2>you weren't just putting on. I was looking at you

0:23:02.359 --> 0:23:05.399
<v Speaker 2>and you could just see this sweet, pure joy. I

0:23:05.480 --> 0:23:07.480
<v Speaker 2>just there aren't many things in life where you can

0:23:08.119 --> 0:23:09.960
<v Speaker 2>have that, and it was just cool to see you

0:23:10.160 --> 0:23:12.399
<v Speaker 2>feel that, and I was felt really honored to be

0:23:12.480 --> 0:23:13.000
<v Speaker 2>a part of it.

0:23:13.119 --> 0:23:15.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, thank you for that. It was honored to have

0:23:15.040 --> 0:23:18.160
<v Speaker 1>you there to be a part of But the final look,

0:23:18.320 --> 0:23:20.119
<v Speaker 1>we hung out with my parents that day and then

0:23:20.119 --> 0:23:21.639
<v Speaker 1>we sent them home because we had a party in

0:23:21.680 --> 0:23:23.000
<v Speaker 1>the Dog on Saturday.

0:23:23.000 --> 0:23:24.200
<v Speaker 2>We had to go back to bb King.

0:23:24.400 --> 0:23:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Let's be honest, Okay, we had that to do, and well, yeah,

0:23:30.080 --> 0:23:31.520
<v Speaker 1>there was a big day. We're you nervous at all?

0:23:31.600 --> 0:23:34.960
<v Speaker 1>Going so again to explain a little geography to folks,

0:23:34.960 --> 0:23:38.720
<v Speaker 1>I am from West Memphis. Of course, people know Memphis now.

0:23:38.800 --> 0:23:40.600
<v Speaker 1>When I say where I'm from, I usually just say

0:23:40.600 --> 0:23:42.280
<v Speaker 1>West Memphis and leave it at that. People get it

0:23:42.280 --> 0:23:47.840
<v Speaker 1>good enough of an idea. But I am from West Memphis, Arkansas. Technically,

0:23:48.119 --> 0:23:50.280
<v Speaker 1>I am from a town that is in the state

0:23:50.320 --> 0:23:52.280
<v Speaker 1>of Arkansas. If you've ever been to Memphis, if you're

0:23:52.280 --> 0:23:55.640
<v Speaker 1>standing in Memphis looking at the Mississippi River on the

0:23:55.720 --> 0:23:59.000
<v Speaker 1>other side is Arkansas. That first time you come to

0:23:59.200 --> 0:24:01.960
<v Speaker 1>is West Memphis, so I grew up in the Memphis

0:24:02.000 --> 0:24:05.080
<v Speaker 1>culture and whatnot, but technically I'm an Arkansas boy, so

0:24:05.560 --> 0:24:08.520
<v Speaker 1>we had to get maneuver go across the bridge to

0:24:09.240 --> 0:24:11.920
<v Speaker 1>West Memphis. You're about to go to my parents' house,

0:24:11.960 --> 0:24:13.840
<v Speaker 1>the home I grew up in for the first time.

0:24:14.200 --> 0:24:15.200
<v Speaker 1>Were you nervous at all?

0:24:15.240 --> 0:24:17.320
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't nervous because I know your parents. This is

0:24:17.480 --> 0:24:19.880
<v Speaker 2>I've spent time with them, and we obviously had spent

0:24:19.920 --> 0:24:21.920
<v Speaker 2>time with them the day before. I love your parents.

0:24:21.960 --> 0:24:24.320
<v Speaker 2>I think they're so sweet. They're so proud of you,

0:24:25.440 --> 0:24:27.600
<v Speaker 2>and it was now I knew it was gonna be fun.

0:24:27.600 --> 0:24:30.480
<v Speaker 2>And your dad was so excited to cook. He has

0:24:30.760 --> 0:24:32.920
<v Speaker 2>seven grills, and I got to see them in person.

0:24:32.960 --> 0:24:35.199
<v Speaker 2>I'd seen pictures you had sent me of them, but

0:24:35.280 --> 0:24:38.959
<v Speaker 2>I actually came out, and it's impressive, Like, WHOA, I

0:24:39.040 --> 0:24:42.320
<v Speaker 2>cannot believe one person has this many grills. But I

0:24:42.359 --> 0:24:44.920
<v Speaker 2>loved going into your Not many people even have childhood

0:24:44.920 --> 0:24:47.480
<v Speaker 2>homes still I certainly don't, so it was really cool

0:24:47.520 --> 0:24:51.800
<v Speaker 2>to see the room you grew up in the backyard

0:24:51.800 --> 0:24:54.800
<v Speaker 2>that's been filled in, but the pool you once jumped

0:24:54.800 --> 0:24:57.320
<v Speaker 2>in just where it was just putting it all into

0:24:57.359 --> 0:25:01.160
<v Speaker 2>perspective to see it and see your parents in their

0:25:01.240 --> 0:25:04.840
<v Speaker 2>own home environment, you and your it was I again,

0:25:04.880 --> 0:25:06.840
<v Speaker 2>you just feel closer to somebody when you see where

0:25:06.840 --> 0:25:09.639
<v Speaker 2>they come from, and especially if you get the opportunity

0:25:09.640 --> 0:25:10.639
<v Speaker 2>to see where they grew up.

0:25:20.040 --> 0:25:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Anytime you go home, why is it parents have to

0:25:22.000 --> 0:25:24.000
<v Speaker 1>cook for you. It'll have to take you out to eat,

0:25:24.480 --> 0:25:26.640
<v Speaker 1>no matter what take care of you, level of success

0:25:26.720 --> 0:25:29.440
<v Speaker 1>you reach, it doesn't matter. They always had like it's

0:25:29.480 --> 0:25:32.560
<v Speaker 1>almost an obligation. You have to let them do that

0:25:32.600 --> 0:25:35.440
<v Speaker 1>for you, exactly. And they were dying, dying to take

0:25:35.520 --> 0:25:37.359
<v Speaker 1>us out for the several days we were there, but

0:25:37.359 --> 0:25:39.840
<v Speaker 1>they finally got to cook on Sunday, which was a

0:25:39.960 --> 0:25:43.240
<v Speaker 1>terrible weather day, like serious inclement weather that day, and

0:25:43.320 --> 0:25:45.159
<v Speaker 1>Pops fired up the grill like six am.

0:25:45.320 --> 0:25:46.800
<v Speaker 2>And of course, so he fires up the grill at

0:25:46.840 --> 0:25:48.800
<v Speaker 2>six am because we just mentioned ribs take so long

0:25:48.840 --> 0:25:50.920
<v Speaker 2>to cook. But my goodness, right when we got there,

0:25:51.000 --> 0:25:54.600
<v Speaker 2>I think within five ten minutes, the skies opened up

0:25:54.960 --> 0:25:58.879
<v Speaker 2>thunder lightning. I mean the skies were black, and and

0:25:58.920 --> 0:26:00.800
<v Speaker 2>it rolled in right at the time when your dad,

0:26:00.840 --> 0:26:02.600
<v Speaker 2>like the critical time when you're trying to take the

0:26:02.680 --> 0:26:05.440
<v Speaker 2>meat off the grill, and so y'all had the umbrella

0:26:05.960 --> 0:26:08.840
<v Speaker 2>running back in and by the way, they were amazing.

0:26:08.880 --> 0:26:10.439
<v Speaker 2>Your dad kept saying, oh, they're not as good. I

0:26:10.440 --> 0:26:12.720
<v Speaker 2>had to do this. The rain cooled down the grill,

0:26:12.800 --> 0:26:15.760
<v Speaker 2>which totally makes sense, but I thought they were amazing.

0:26:15.840 --> 0:26:17.760
<v Speaker 1>Say and let us. I know you've seen pictures in

0:26:17.800 --> 0:26:19.800
<v Speaker 1>the past. I've gone home and I'm cooking with my

0:26:19.880 --> 0:26:22.959
<v Speaker 1>family and we go to town. You've seen it before,

0:26:23.080 --> 0:26:25.040
<v Speaker 1>and I think you've like, what the hell, who's coming

0:26:25.040 --> 0:26:29.200
<v Speaker 1>and what's happening? So this event, we had four people, right,

0:26:29.320 --> 0:26:30.880
<v Speaker 1>me and you, Mom and dad.

0:26:31.240 --> 0:26:33.320
<v Speaker 2>It was so funny because you were like, Dad, who

0:26:33.320 --> 0:26:35.080
<v Speaker 2>else is coming? Why did you cook so much food?

0:26:35.320 --> 0:26:38.120
<v Speaker 2>Which made me laugh because that's exactly what I say

0:26:38.160 --> 0:26:40.600
<v Speaker 2>to you every time we prepare a meal. I'm like,

0:26:40.840 --> 0:26:44.520
<v Speaker 2>is anyone coming? Why do we have ten plates filled

0:26:44.560 --> 0:26:45.440
<v Speaker 2>with meat right now?

0:26:45.480 --> 0:26:50.399
<v Speaker 1>Okay? So four people, eight slabs of ribs and seven

0:26:50.600 --> 0:26:51.520
<v Speaker 1>filet mignon.

0:26:51.600 --> 0:26:53.560
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and that's not a joke. Plus he was going

0:26:53.600 --> 0:26:56.680
<v Speaker 2>to put on sausages, but we were like, maybe maybe

0:26:56.720 --> 0:26:59.120
<v Speaker 2>we don't need to make those as well. Plus your

0:26:59.119 --> 0:27:01.000
<v Speaker 2>mom a cake for you.

0:27:01.760 --> 0:27:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, Mama couldn't eat because.

0:27:03.840 --> 0:27:06.600
<v Speaker 2>We had to explain that we're not eating sugar right now.

0:27:06.640 --> 0:27:09.480
<v Speaker 2>That's terrible, is it? I still feel bad about that.

0:27:09.560 --> 0:27:11.400
<v Speaker 1>Boundaries you have have to have boundaries.

0:27:11.520 --> 0:27:13.240
<v Speaker 2>It looked like a beautiful bunt cake and it was

0:27:13.240 --> 0:27:15.119
<v Speaker 2>your favorite, your.

0:27:14.880 --> 0:27:17.280
<v Speaker 1>Favorite cake, and I couldn't eat it. Eat it? What

0:27:17.320 --> 0:27:17.800
<v Speaker 1>do you want for me?

0:27:19.080 --> 0:27:22.760
<v Speaker 2>But we had asparagus and cauliflower. It was very sweet.

0:27:22.840 --> 0:27:26.960
<v Speaker 2>They elt Brussels sprouts. They went and found all the

0:27:27.040 --> 0:27:29.000
<v Speaker 2>vegetables that we do eat and could eat. It was

0:27:29.200 --> 0:27:30.520
<v Speaker 2>very very sweet of that.

0:27:30.720 --> 0:27:32.640
<v Speaker 1>But all that food they made us eat on little

0:27:32.680 --> 0:27:36.760
<v Speaker 1>plastic football plates. What was that about the paper? Even

0:27:36.800 --> 0:27:37.160
<v Speaker 1>you know.

0:27:37.280 --> 0:27:40.160
<v Speaker 2>They had them. It was efficient. Wanted to use them.

0:27:40.200 --> 0:27:42.760
<v Speaker 2>You're like, what are these from? But it you know,

0:27:43.119 --> 0:27:43.600
<v Speaker 2>it worked.

0:27:43.720 --> 0:27:45.320
<v Speaker 1>I gave them a hard time about it, but it's

0:27:45.320 --> 0:27:47.440
<v Speaker 1>it always is good to go back and I'm glad

0:27:47.440 --> 0:27:49.679
<v Speaker 1>you got to see it. And yes, that's my that's it.

0:27:49.720 --> 0:27:53.080
<v Speaker 1>That's where little Tea Junior, not TJ. I was never

0:27:53.160 --> 0:27:54.040
<v Speaker 1>called TJ.

0:27:53.800 --> 0:27:56.439
<v Speaker 2>In that house, junior, And that's what they still call

0:27:56.480 --> 0:27:57.200
<v Speaker 2>you all.

0:27:57.080 --> 0:28:00.520
<v Speaker 1>I have ever been called. So that was a fun day.

0:28:00.560 --> 0:28:04.520
<v Speaker 1>On Sunday? Did we go was it that day? Yeah?

0:28:04.520 --> 0:28:05.800
<v Speaker 1>We went shopping again. We went back.

0:28:05.840 --> 0:28:08.359
<v Speaker 2>We went shopping almost every day. Yes, yes, but we

0:28:08.440 --> 0:28:11.240
<v Speaker 2>then we went shopping and then we realized, ooh, maybe

0:28:11.240 --> 0:28:12.880
<v Speaker 2>I should just go back and get one more thing.

0:28:12.960 --> 0:28:16.280
<v Speaker 2>And you were a little envious of a sweatshirt I got.

0:28:16.359 --> 0:28:20.359
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I was pissed. Envious is tough. I prefer to

0:28:20.400 --> 0:28:23.119
<v Speaker 1>be jealous, okay, because when I'm jealous of something, it

0:28:23.160 --> 0:28:27.000
<v Speaker 1>means I also want what you have. When I'm envious,

0:28:27.040 --> 0:28:29.280
<v Speaker 1>it feels like I also don't want you to have it,

0:28:29.440 --> 0:28:30.200
<v Speaker 1>like I'm mad.

0:28:30.520 --> 0:28:32.639
<v Speaker 2>Okay, okay, So well, you were a little envious.

0:28:32.680 --> 0:28:33.160
<v Speaker 1>I was mad.

0:28:33.359 --> 0:28:35.919
<v Speaker 2>You're a little mad that I got a sweatshirt that

0:28:35.960 --> 0:28:37.200
<v Speaker 2>I loved so much.

0:28:37.480 --> 0:28:39.600
<v Speaker 1>But when you crossed the line to envious, I know

0:28:39.920 --> 0:28:42.480
<v Speaker 1>this is not good because I was. I was upset

0:28:42.760 --> 0:28:45.400
<v Speaker 1>how happy you were. I was happy.

0:28:45.440 --> 0:28:47.480
<v Speaker 2>I was happy because the rain had cooled things off

0:28:47.480 --> 0:28:50.440
<v Speaker 2>so much, and I had more like warmer weather clothing.

0:28:50.520 --> 0:28:52.960
<v Speaker 2>So the fact that I had bought this Bulle Street

0:28:53.080 --> 0:28:56.120
<v Speaker 2>Memphis oversized sweatshirt meant the next day, when it was

0:28:56.120 --> 0:28:58.040
<v Speaker 2>a little cooler, I could just put on some leggings

0:28:58.040 --> 0:29:00.000
<v Speaker 2>in my oversized sweatshirt, and I did feel cool.

0:29:00.280 --> 0:29:02.760
<v Speaker 1>You looked good, You really looked cute in that thing,

0:29:02.760 --> 0:29:06.040
<v Speaker 1>and it's a great, great sweater. But we go back

0:29:06.080 --> 0:29:09.000
<v Speaker 1>to that same spot. She had bought the sweater a

0:29:09.440 --> 0:29:11.360
<v Speaker 1>day or two ahead of time, but we went back

0:29:11.400 --> 0:29:14.040
<v Speaker 1>to that same spot to check maybe there's something there

0:29:14.040 --> 0:29:15.880
<v Speaker 1>for me, since you found something that was so great.

0:29:16.200 --> 0:29:18.120
<v Speaker 1>But I ended up getting something great out of there

0:29:18.200 --> 0:29:20.720
<v Speaker 1>that was not a piece of merchandise. I cannot remember

0:29:20.720 --> 0:29:23.520
<v Speaker 1>her name either, white lady that was working that shop.

0:29:25.920 --> 0:29:29.560
<v Speaker 1>This one was good. I mean, I couldn't believe because so.

0:29:29.520 --> 0:29:32.200
<v Speaker 2>Quick these women were, and I appreciated what they had

0:29:32.240 --> 0:29:35.200
<v Speaker 2>to say. So TJ is looking around, and this woman's

0:29:35.240 --> 0:29:36.719
<v Speaker 2>laughing at us, because I think we were going back

0:29:36.760 --> 0:29:38.880
<v Speaker 2>and forth with each other. And so to explain what

0:29:38.920 --> 0:29:41.280
<v Speaker 2>we were talking about, TJ said to the woman, I'm

0:29:41.280 --> 0:29:43.120
<v Speaker 2>trying to find something I love as much as she

0:29:43.320 --> 0:29:47.920
<v Speaker 2>loves that sweatshirt. And the woman said to TJ, you

0:29:48.040 --> 0:29:48.960
<v Speaker 2>already have her.

0:29:49.560 --> 0:29:52.680
<v Speaker 1>Didn't miss a beat. We immediately didn't miss a beat.

0:29:53.080 --> 0:29:54.400
<v Speaker 2>You already have her.

0:29:54.600 --> 0:29:58.040
<v Speaker 1>And as she that was a mic drop, no response.

0:29:58.280 --> 0:29:59.960
<v Speaker 1>I just want to hug that lady. I want to

0:30:00.080 --> 0:30:02.560
<v Speaker 1>to cry. I want that was so sweet and a nice,

0:30:02.720 --> 0:30:07.800
<v Speaker 1>little simple reminder of little things and life, you know

0:30:07.920 --> 0:30:10.280
<v Speaker 1>that weekends where I have never had a weekend like

0:30:10.360 --> 0:30:13.520
<v Speaker 1>that at home because I have a perspective now about

0:30:13.520 --> 0:30:16.640
<v Speaker 1>my life that I can now view through my home

0:30:16.920 --> 0:30:21.320
<v Speaker 1>town experiences that is different. And that woman said that

0:30:21.360 --> 0:30:23.640
<v Speaker 1>to me, and I just I was We were giddy,

0:30:23.680 --> 0:30:26.040
<v Speaker 1>we were tickled. I was just so touched, you know.

0:30:26.040 --> 0:30:28.000
<v Speaker 2>It was said to me, can you please write that

0:30:28.040 --> 0:30:30.640
<v Speaker 2>down right now so we won't forget, because sometimes we

0:30:30.720 --> 0:30:33.360
<v Speaker 2>forget exactly how things are worded. But it's just so cool.

0:30:33.600 --> 0:30:35.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to find something I love as much as

0:30:35.960 --> 0:30:40.200
<v Speaker 2>she loves that sweatshirt. You already have her. Oh love

0:30:40.240 --> 0:30:44.640
<v Speaker 2>that lady, and people can give you advice that lands

0:30:44.840 --> 0:30:48.760
<v Speaker 2>in the moments. It was silly, but it's just that

0:30:48.840 --> 0:30:51.680
<v Speaker 2>immediate perspective, like, wow, it's so true. As much as

0:30:51.680 --> 0:30:53.880
<v Speaker 2>we were having fun, it's not what you have, it's

0:30:53.920 --> 0:30:54.800
<v Speaker 2>who you have. You know.

0:30:54.880 --> 0:30:57.400
<v Speaker 1>In both of those instances, the black lady with the

0:30:57.400 --> 0:30:59.880
<v Speaker 1>blonde hair that we're describing and this one here, I

0:31:00.280 --> 0:31:02.480
<v Speaker 1>was just kind of a throwaway line, making a joke,

0:31:02.880 --> 0:31:05.640
<v Speaker 1>and they responded with something poignant. They were still they

0:31:05.680 --> 0:31:08.960
<v Speaker 1>matched my silliness to a certain degree, but they said

0:31:08.960 --> 0:31:10.960
<v Speaker 1>something poignant that made me stop in my tracks and

0:31:11.000 --> 0:31:13.080
<v Speaker 1>I just love, love, love both of those women who

0:31:13.120 --> 0:31:15.040
<v Speaker 1>have no idea the impression they made on us.

0:31:15.520 --> 0:31:19.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, and yeah, and we wrote them what we

0:31:19.520 --> 0:31:21.320
<v Speaker 2>wrote down what they had to say, so we did

0:31:21.360 --> 0:31:22.880
<v Speaker 2>not forget and we knew we wanted to put this

0:31:22.920 --> 0:31:24.560
<v Speaker 2>in the podcast because I think it's just one of

0:31:24.600 --> 0:31:27.600
<v Speaker 2>those cool takeaways. Listen. You know we talk a lot,

0:31:27.680 --> 0:31:30.840
<v Speaker 2>but sometimes if you listen, people have such smart things

0:31:30.880 --> 0:31:34.120
<v Speaker 2>to say, people who lived longer and learned a lot more.

0:31:34.480 --> 0:31:37.760
<v Speaker 2>And I was really blown away by ah By.

0:31:37.800 --> 0:31:40.880
<v Speaker 1>They're a wisdom and unlessen to everybody as well. You

0:31:40.960 --> 0:31:43.760
<v Speaker 1>never know, I mean, everybody tries to right. You don't

0:31:43.760 --> 0:31:45.800
<v Speaker 1>want to put some effort in sometimes, I say, because

0:31:45.840 --> 0:31:50.360
<v Speaker 1>you don't feel like you can change the world. But

0:31:50.440 --> 0:31:54.240
<v Speaker 1>what's the line. What you do can mean the world

0:31:54.280 --> 0:31:57.240
<v Speaker 1>to one person. They have no idea the impression they made,

0:31:57.240 --> 0:31:59.000
<v Speaker 1>so it just don't folks, Even if you don't see

0:31:59.000 --> 0:32:01.400
<v Speaker 1>the results and you don't get the credit, sometimes being

0:32:01.400 --> 0:32:03.320
<v Speaker 1>a good person and saying the right word in the

0:32:03.400 --> 0:32:06.040
<v Speaker 1>right moment can mean everything to somebody. So please don't

0:32:06.040 --> 0:32:07.080
<v Speaker 1>stop being a good person.

0:32:07.240 --> 0:32:12.080
<v Speaker 2>That's very cool. We had some we had some fun moments.

0:32:12.120 --> 0:32:15.440
<v Speaker 2>We were working while we were there, and we were

0:32:15.480 --> 0:32:17.040
<v Speaker 2>trying to figure out how did we get We got

0:32:17.120 --> 0:32:20.320
<v Speaker 2>on a Brian McKnight kick where we started listening to

0:32:20.640 --> 0:32:22.920
<v Speaker 2>every song but fell in love with One Last Cry.

0:32:23.040 --> 0:32:25.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh Why. It was a weird. We were working one Why.

0:32:25.720 --> 0:32:27.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know why what happened, and Brian McKnight

0:32:27.800 --> 0:32:29.120
<v Speaker 1>came up and we put it on as we were

0:32:29.160 --> 0:32:35.840
<v Speaker 1>working and six eight twelve, One Last Cry anytime? We

0:32:35.920 --> 0:32:38.280
<v Speaker 1>just started getting on a Brian after hit after hit.

0:32:38.440 --> 0:32:40.240
<v Speaker 2>We just went right back to Brian McKnight. And then

0:32:40.320 --> 0:32:42.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if this jarred me, but we were

0:32:42.520 --> 0:32:45.000
<v Speaker 2>just talking after listening to all this music. We were

0:32:45.040 --> 0:32:47.520
<v Speaker 2>out and about and I don't even know what it

0:32:47.600 --> 0:32:49.200
<v Speaker 2>was that you said you were I think you said

0:32:49.200 --> 0:32:54.800
<v Speaker 2>something kind of joking to me about just about us

0:32:54.880 --> 0:32:57.480
<v Speaker 2>liking each other, about us getting along so well, about

0:32:57.560 --> 0:32:59.520
<v Speaker 2>us being so compatible, and I just started crying, and

0:32:59.560 --> 0:33:01.200
<v Speaker 2>You're like, what is going on right now?

0:33:01.360 --> 0:33:02.040
<v Speaker 1>Are we in public?

0:33:02.400 --> 0:33:04.200
<v Speaker 2>Because I was on a street corner we were waiting

0:33:04.240 --> 0:33:07.160
<v Speaker 2>for that we were waiting for the street light to

0:33:07.320 --> 0:33:09.520
<v Speaker 2>allow us to cross the street, and I got embarrassed.

0:33:09.520 --> 0:33:10.760
<v Speaker 2>I had to turn around, like what are you doing.

0:33:10.760 --> 0:33:14.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, I'm crying. I just I felt so grateful.

0:33:15.200 --> 0:33:19.280
<v Speaker 2>It just hid me about how grateful I feel. Oh

0:33:19.320 --> 0:33:23.120
<v Speaker 2>my god, I'm gonna cry now. But after everything, just

0:33:23.160 --> 0:33:24.680
<v Speaker 2>to know that at the end of the day, if

0:33:24.720 --> 0:33:26.600
<v Speaker 2>you get to end up with your best friend and

0:33:26.920 --> 0:33:28.680
<v Speaker 2>all days aren't great and there are good times in

0:33:28.680 --> 0:33:31.040
<v Speaker 2>bad times, but I'm with my best friend and there's

0:33:31.120 --> 0:33:34.560
<v Speaker 2>no one I'd rather be on that street with then you,

0:33:34.800 --> 0:33:36.920
<v Speaker 2>And so I just started to cry. I was like, so,

0:33:36.960 --> 0:33:40.360
<v Speaker 2>I feel like the theme of the of the of the

0:33:40.360 --> 0:33:42.920
<v Speaker 2>weekend free was like became the Ryan at night night song,

0:33:43.080 --> 0:33:45.680
<v Speaker 2>but not for his one last cry was getting over somebody.

0:33:46.000 --> 0:33:48.800
<v Speaker 2>This was a good cry about recognizing how lucky I

0:33:48.840 --> 0:33:49.880
<v Speaker 2>am to be with somebody.

0:33:49.920 --> 0:33:51.240
<v Speaker 1>And I hope it was the last one as well.

0:33:51.400 --> 0:33:54.040
<v Speaker 1>I would really hope that was one last cry.

0:33:54.080 --> 0:33:57.520
<v Speaker 2>Sorry for publicly embarrassing.

0:33:58.440 --> 0:34:01.000
<v Speaker 1>I didn't realize it was muggy out. We just got

0:34:01.040 --> 0:34:03.400
<v Speaker 1>a beer over here, a shot over there. What were

0:34:03.400 --> 0:34:03.760
<v Speaker 1>we crying?

0:34:04.280 --> 0:34:06.360
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I had allergies or something.

0:34:06.560 --> 0:34:08.680
<v Speaker 1>It was funny, you were not sad in the moment,

0:34:08.719 --> 0:34:10.840
<v Speaker 1>but still it came. It was grateful out of nowhere.

0:34:11.800 --> 0:34:13.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to call it the highlight, but it

0:34:13.520 --> 0:34:16.360
<v Speaker 1>certainly was a good way to send us off. Yes,

0:34:16.480 --> 0:34:18.279
<v Speaker 1>when we were at the airport and we need you

0:34:18.400 --> 0:34:21.359
<v Speaker 1>all's help on this one. Okay, we were leaving. Look,

0:34:21.400 --> 0:34:23.400
<v Speaker 1>we get a lot of looks and people looking at

0:34:23.480 --> 0:34:25.719
<v Speaker 1>the sideways. We can know they recognize us, but then

0:34:25.760 --> 0:34:27.200
<v Speaker 1>they don't come over and all this stuff, so we

0:34:27.239 --> 0:34:28.759
<v Speaker 1>see it all the time. We sat at a bar

0:34:28.800 --> 0:34:33.280
<v Speaker 1>at the Memphis Airport a few spots from our gates,

0:34:33.280 --> 0:34:35.839
<v Speaker 1>will right to board, ready to go. The guy sitting

0:34:35.840 --> 0:34:37.960
<v Speaker 1>there never says anything, but then he gets ready to

0:34:38.000 --> 0:34:42.960
<v Speaker 1>go after about ten or fifteen minutes, and we could

0:34:43.400 --> 0:34:45.919
<v Speaker 1>we since that he was kind of looking our way.

0:34:46.040 --> 0:34:46.840
<v Speaker 1>But I didn't expect this.

0:34:47.080 --> 0:34:50.239
<v Speaker 2>No, people say all sorts of stuff to us, but

0:34:50.280 --> 0:34:52.520
<v Speaker 2>this was really fun and it was funny. So he

0:34:52.600 --> 0:34:54.759
<v Speaker 2>comes up finally has the courage, I guess, to come

0:34:54.840 --> 0:34:59.760
<v Speaker 2>up to TJ. And he says, I know who you are. Okay,

0:35:00.080 --> 0:35:01.640
<v Speaker 2>just look at him. We don't give him anything, and

0:35:01.680 --> 0:35:03.920
<v Speaker 2>then he says, you know what, You're too good of

0:35:03.960 --> 0:35:05.960
<v Speaker 2>an actor for me not to know.

0:35:06.440 --> 0:35:10.960
<v Speaker 1>Keep up the good work, thanks man, and let him walk,

0:35:11.480 --> 0:35:11.880
<v Speaker 1>And that was.

0:35:11.920 --> 0:35:15.680
<v Speaker 2>First into into laughter. He was so sure that he knew,

0:35:15.880 --> 0:35:18.319
<v Speaker 2>and in fact, you're so good at what you do.

0:35:18.680 --> 0:35:21.879
<v Speaker 2>How could I not know? You never said your name.

0:35:22.000 --> 0:35:24.040
<v Speaker 2>But man, you're a damn good actor.

0:35:24.239 --> 0:35:27.640
<v Speaker 1>And that's why it's no way you, sir, can walk

0:35:27.640 --> 0:35:29.960
<v Speaker 1>through this airport and not be recognized because you're so

0:35:30.000 --> 0:35:32.680
<v Speaker 1>good at acting, is what he's telling me. Like, you

0:35:33.120 --> 0:35:35.279
<v Speaker 1>think you could get through here and it's not recognize you?

0:35:35.320 --> 0:35:38.480
<v Speaker 1>Do you? Mister? Who the hell could he be confusing

0:35:38.520 --> 0:35:38.799
<v Speaker 1>me with?

0:35:39.160 --> 0:35:42.160
<v Speaker 2>We were trying to think what actor he could have

0:35:42.200 --> 0:35:42.839
<v Speaker 2>thought you were.

0:35:43.080 --> 0:35:44.160
<v Speaker 1>I cannot come up with one.

0:35:44.640 --> 0:35:47.799
<v Speaker 2>Not I always forget the hot guy from Bridgerton. I

0:35:47.840 --> 0:35:49.160
<v Speaker 2>always had a questions.

0:35:49.239 --> 0:35:52.040
<v Speaker 1>I'll never get mixed up with reggae John.

0:35:52.640 --> 0:35:54.240
<v Speaker 2>I know, I never can remember his name.

0:35:56.480 --> 0:36:01.000
<v Speaker 1>Light skinned brothers whatever. Fine, but he's had fifteen years

0:36:01.040 --> 0:36:03.080
<v Speaker 1>at least younger than me, maybe even twenty.

0:36:03.280 --> 0:36:05.960
<v Speaker 2>You look so young, big, But I do think that

0:36:06.000 --> 0:36:08.759
<v Speaker 2>people know they saw you on TV. He doesn't know.

0:36:08.880 --> 0:36:09.680
<v Speaker 1>That's probably what it is.

0:36:09.719 --> 0:36:12.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay, you probably spent those ten minutes trying to figure

0:36:12.200 --> 0:36:14.400
<v Speaker 2>out what show you were on. He's like, you know what,

0:36:14.440 --> 0:36:16.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't know it, but I'm just gonna acknowledge that

0:36:16.120 --> 0:36:18.839
<v Speaker 2>I know he's on TV. So he assumed you were

0:36:18.840 --> 0:36:19.280
<v Speaker 2>an actor?

0:36:19.560 --> 0:36:21.840
<v Speaker 1>You think so you don't think he's actually got me

0:36:21.880 --> 0:36:22.720
<v Speaker 1>mixed up with an actor?

0:36:23.040 --> 0:36:25.160
<v Speaker 2>It could be either or, but I'd love to hear

0:36:25.200 --> 0:36:26.880
<v Speaker 2>who people think, if y'all want to jump in on

0:36:26.880 --> 0:36:31.239
<v Speaker 2>our social media, who could possibly could be mixed on? Like?

0:36:31.360 --> 0:36:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Legitimately you walk down the street and go was that?

0:36:34.440 --> 0:36:38.680
<v Speaker 1>Who could I possibly be mixed up with? I can't imagine,

0:36:38.719 --> 0:36:41.080
<v Speaker 1>but that was funny. If you'll have any guesses, I

0:36:41.080 --> 0:36:43.479
<v Speaker 1>would love to and a legitimate one, not just something

0:36:43.680 --> 0:36:46.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm really curious and know way he could even think about.

0:36:46.600 --> 0:36:48.080
<v Speaker 1>But well, you know what he gets. I get actor

0:36:48.120 --> 0:36:52.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot. People say you're an actor, right, and I say, man,

0:36:52.080 --> 0:36:53.480
<v Speaker 1>must not be a very good one because you don't

0:36:53.480 --> 0:36:55.880
<v Speaker 1>know who I am. And I keep moving people laughing,

0:36:55.920 --> 0:36:59.600
<v Speaker 1>It keeps me walking. This one you got me?

0:36:59.800 --> 0:37:01.879
<v Speaker 2>So he thought he dropped the mic too. He thought

0:37:01.920 --> 0:37:03.919
<v Speaker 2>he had like a mic drop moment. Yeah, he said

0:37:03.920 --> 0:37:06.120
<v Speaker 2>it as he was walking away left way. Yeah, how

0:37:06.120 --> 0:37:06.600
<v Speaker 2>about that?

0:37:06.880 --> 0:37:10.960
<v Speaker 1>People love the good work? Yeah, look up for I

0:37:10.960 --> 0:37:11.399
<v Speaker 1>love people.

0:37:11.440 --> 0:37:14.040
<v Speaker 2>I love your work really okay, so much that you

0:37:14.080 --> 0:37:15.640
<v Speaker 2>don't know who I am or what I did?

0:37:15.760 --> 0:37:17.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I got a new one coming out with Paul Fieg.

0:37:17.480 --> 0:37:21.040

0:37:21.080 --> 0:37:23.920
<v Speaker 1>But really, thank you. It was a great, great trip.

0:37:24.239 --> 0:37:28.720
<v Speaker 1>It's amazing how well we are remembering this trip given

0:37:28.760 --> 0:37:31.640
<v Speaker 1>that the whole purpose of the trip got canceled. Yeah,

0:37:31.680 --> 0:37:34.800
<v Speaker 1>the reason we went there did not happen, but look

0:37:34.880 --> 0:37:36.320
<v Speaker 1>what we got out of it. It ain't that a

0:37:36.360 --> 0:37:39.440
<v Speaker 1>euphemism for life. This is not why I came here.

0:37:39.480 --> 0:37:41.480
<v Speaker 1>It didn't happen, but God, look what I got out

0:37:41.520 --> 0:37:43.759
<v Speaker 1>of it. That's amazing. So it was a wonderful trip.

0:37:43.800 --> 0:37:46.400

0:37:49.840 --> 0:37:52.239
<v Speaker 2>I just felt like it was. I can't imagine it

<v Speaker 2>having been a more perfect trip, even with the race

0:37:55.200 --> 0:37:58.640
<v Speaker 2>being canceled. I love that and thank you. Thank you

0:37:58.680 --> 0:38:00.279
