Speaker 2: And I know, I know your kids have different spring breaks.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, so we So it's like corey spring break
Speaker 1: is extra long, and then Carter's I don't know, actually
Speaker 1: both of theirs are pretty long, but they're just not

Speaker 1: a couple of days, so we have to take Carter
Speaker 1: out a few days early so that we can be together. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Nice, nice, nice.
Speaker 2: Of course, Grace's spring break is different from the twins,
Speaker 2: but we out here in these spring break streets, so
Speaker 2: like spring break is different from what it used to
Speaker 2: be in the past.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know, well, I mean I just think, Okay,
Speaker 1: so my spring break, I want to say, like, my
Speaker 1: most memorable one was when I was in college and
Speaker 1: we went to Miami. I think I was a junior
Speaker 1: in college. So it was my first that was like
Speaker 1: my first time ever to Miami.
Speaker 3: So did you fly?
Speaker 1: We flew?
Speaker 3: Who bought the ticket?
Speaker 1: Maybe my dad's credit card?
Speaker 2: Did he know that? He was saying, think so okay.
Speaker 1: I think so, all right, Yeah I don't I don't
Speaker 1: remember there being any like issues with the travel. Well, okay,
Speaker 1: take the back. I think like six of us stayed
Speaker 1: in a hotel room. Yes, yeah, that's easy. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Like one of them was a guy. He stayed in
Speaker 1: the closet.
Speaker 3: Like it was like I had to stand in closet.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, because yeah, Eric allows is crazy, but.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was in the closet and we were in
Speaker 1: a So in Miami it was like we didn't this
Speaker 1: is our first time, so we didn't really know like
Speaker 1: where we should stay. So we ended up staying like
Speaker 1: far up. Uh what's the Michelle Collins, Yeah, Colin, Yeah,
Speaker 1: like we were like way down in you know, like
Speaker 1: where like the older people are right so like you
Speaker 1: like in Coconut Grove, not that far, but like you know,
Speaker 1: we were, we were we were just further up, probably
Speaker 1: in like the eighties, I don't know, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. And but the good thing about that was
Speaker 1: that the hotel. The room was spacious, so that because
Speaker 1: there was like six of us in a room, it
Speaker 1: was it was enough room for us to just feel
Speaker 1: comfortable at that age. Right, I'm like, I can't believe
Speaker 1: I didn't want.
Speaker 2: To share room with one person now, right, and all
Speaker 2: six was in that bathroom.
Speaker 1: That's what?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 1: But that's how in college, like you you know, you
Speaker 1: live in us a suite with six people, so that
Speaker 1: was like normal.
Speaker 2: Right, Well, college, I remember I had to share bathroom
Speaker 2: with like the floor.
Speaker 1: Right or the floor, but you also had like multiple
Speaker 1: stalls and multiple all that things.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if I can't even imagine living like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I lived in a suite in college. There was
Speaker 1: six of us. We have three rooms. Actually, no, it
Speaker 1: must have been five. Oh no, no, no, it was four
Speaker 1: because there was a double and then two singles. I
Speaker 1: mean I've had multiple living situations and one bathroom.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I guess you know, spring break is like whatever, right,
Speaker 1: So we were like all the way down you know,
Speaker 1: that part of the town, and we had to always
Speaker 1: just kind of take a taxi to get into the
Speaker 1: like where it was popping and stuff. But it was
Speaker 1: like I just remember my head like spinning.
Speaker 2: Why because it was so cool, like going to Miami
Speaker 2: and going down Ocean Drive and you're just walking past
Speaker 2: all like the restaurants and the bars and the you know,
Speaker 2: the ladies dancing and the music blasting and people just
Speaker 2: like having a good time, and I can remember it's
Speaker 2: so weird.
Speaker 1: I don't even know how we got here somehow, Wan,
Speaker 1: you know why. I went to Maryland with us, but
Speaker 1: Wan didn't come on spring break with us, but one
Speaker 1: of his teammates was down there with us, and I
Speaker 1: just remember like walking down the street holding his teammate's hand,
Speaker 1: and like.
Speaker 3: Why I don't we were just like, were y'all dating? No?
Speaker 1: I was dating Wand but like I don't. I just
Speaker 1: think in college, like we just all had each other's back,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It was like the guys
Speaker 1: were gonna make sure the girls were straight. And I
Speaker 1: probably was drunk and it's probably like, come on, let's go,
Speaker 1: and I'm like walking down holding his teammate's hands, was like,
Speaker 1: what is happening?
Speaker 3: He thought y'all were on a date.
Speaker 2: We clear Okay, you might not have known, but y'all
Speaker 2: was on a date, right, We're not gonna tell wan,
Speaker 2: but it was.
Speaker 1: Just like, wow, that was like the time. We had
Speaker 1: such a good time. Yes, and then and then I
Speaker 1: just know, like your's you know, you go to Miami
Speaker 1: again and again you're like like, eh, it loses it's
Speaker 1: it's magic.
Speaker 2: Yes, but then you go as an adult and you
Speaker 2: know you do different things, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1: You do different things. You stay different places.
Speaker 2: Yes, you're not tend to a room yeah, right exactly.
Speaker 2: But there were people going to Miami with not a
Speaker 2: place to stay. Oh right, yeah, and you would see
Speaker 2: them at the club with their luggage.
Speaker 3: Right, You're like, what the hell do you have? What
Speaker 3: are you dragging behind you?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 3: Is that luggage?
Speaker 1: This is so funny.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And I just remember like being in Miami was so fun,
Speaker 1: having all these memories. And so one year it wasn't
Speaker 1: spring break, it was more like, uh, I was down
Speaker 1: there with the kids. We were playing in a basketball tournament.
Speaker 1: So it was like in the summertime. Yeah, and we
Speaker 1: went down to Ocean Drive. I was so excited to
Speaker 1: go down there with the kids and show them like
Speaker 1: how exciting it was, just like all the activity and
Speaker 1: they were like I'm ready to go, get me out
Speaker 1: of here. They were like, what is this?
Speaker 3: Literally, I'm gonna need you to remind Corey of that.
Speaker 2: When he's like, I want to go to Miami for springburk,
Speaker 2: right right, you'd be like the place that you hated,
Speaker 2: huh and that you wanted to like scurry to get
Speaker 2: out of there.
Speaker 1: They wanted no parts because it was just like it
Speaker 1: was just a lot of people and a lot going on,
Speaker 1: and they felt like, you know, anything could happen at
Speaker 1: any moment and people could start shooting, and you know
Speaker 1: it's guys walking around big snakes on their neck. They
Speaker 1: were like, get us out of here.
Speaker 2: I got about the snakes around the neck. Yes, Oh
Speaker 2: my gosh, that was back in the day.
Speaker 3: I mean they're still there.
Speaker 1: They're still there.
Speaker 3: The guy with the snakes are still there.
Speaker 1: They that crazy.
Speaker 2: I have these new snakes on these same snakes.
Speaker 3: It's twenty years ago.
Speaker 1: I think snakes live a long time.
Speaker 3: Do they do they? And what are they eating exactly?
Speaker 1: Oh, we don't want to talk about that nose anyway.
Speaker 3: I think that spring Wrek is needed.
Speaker 2: Like the kids get back to school and they're like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I need to study because that was I need to make.
Speaker 3: Something of myself. I need to get a good.
Speaker 1: Job exactly right. Yeah, I want to live a good life. Yes,
Speaker 1: I want to be able to like do this. So no,
Speaker 1: it's good to expose them to that. But woo hopefully. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So with my it's kind of funny because you know,
Speaker 2: all three girls of my all three girls next year,
Speaker 2: will we get three different schools? So I wonder if
Speaker 2: they had the same if they if they had the
Speaker 2: same spring break, would they go somewhere together? Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: they're gonna try to get me involved to have.
Speaker 3: Me paid already know. Oh yeah, no, I'm not getting involved.
Speaker 2: I asked Grace, yeah next year, because I know facilitated
Speaker 2: her spring break this year.
Speaker 3: Next year, who's paying for this? Because it's not me.
Speaker 2: She's like, I'm going to save all of my money.
Speaker 2: So I was like, okay, great, because I don't want
Speaker 2: no parts of this. Right, No one's paid for my
Speaker 2: spring break, nor I had to save.
Speaker 3: My little money. Are you sure? Like I am positive? Really?
Speaker 2: My dad was like kick rock sis really Well he
Speaker 2: didn't say that, but he just was like, yeah, no, okay,
Speaker 2: now yeah in your flight, Well I.
Speaker 3: Think probably a dude probably paid for it.
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I can't even really remember where
Speaker 2: I went, right, I mean, definitely Miami was on the
Speaker 2: on the list, Bahamas a couple of times.
Speaker 3: It just Freeport still exists.

Speaker 3: Oh my god? Yeah, why did y'all do that to me?

Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 3: Is that is that still there?
Speaker 1: It is still there?
Speaker 3: I think that.
Speaker 2: Alcohol in those things, I don't think so.
Speaker 1: It's like, what is that called grain alcohol?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 2: So in so wet Willies if y'all don't know, for
Speaker 2: our friends in Switzerland, Wet Willies is like a slurpy place.
Speaker 2: It's slushy, slushy with alcohol. Yeah, the different flavors, and
Speaker 2: it's like on a wall. It's like machines that keep running.
Speaker 2: And so do you go get it yourself or they
Speaker 2: give it to you?
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, they get they give to you. Yeah.
Speaker 3: And then you're just drunk.
Speaker 1: Yes, Oh wait a minute, and mimerca all day and
Speaker 1: you're drinking because especially like in Miami, it's hot drinking them,
Speaker 1: you know, at twelve o'clock noon, one, two three, and
Speaker 1: you're so you're hot. You're drinking all this alcohol. You're
Speaker 1: getting dehydrated.
Speaker 3: Sugar, sugar, it's gonna kill you.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. But that was like the experience you
Speaker 1: had to go down to Miami and go to Wet Willies.
Speaker 2: Yes, And now did you weren't when they serve yellow shots?
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 2: I think if I remember correctly, that's why I knew
Speaker 2: of a jello shot, right, And then I went home
Speaker 2: and try to recreate it. So I was like the
Speaker 2: yellow shot queen maker for a while until I think,
Speaker 2: I don't know, my friend stopped speaking to me because
Speaker 2: they were too drunk to something I don't know anyway,
Speaker 2: I used to make Jelo shots all the time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was fun, those fun times.
