Like 33 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: you know, a normal week probably for many people around 34 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,040 Speaker 1: the country, you just get a thousand Amazon box. This 35 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: is multiply that by a thousand, and that was our 36 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: garage and our life and things that just piled up 37 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: beyond me. 38 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 2: And I don't mean it to sound like we're venting. 39 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 2: These have all been wonderful things. People keep asking me 40 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,359 Speaker 2: friends and people on Instagram, like, oh my. 41 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 3: Gosh, are you exhausted? Are you tired? 42 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 2: Yes, But there's nothing I would rather be tired about. 43 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 2: I'm so happy, We're so lucky. 44 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to a little downtime. Although we're heading 45 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: into the holidays, Yeah, but I'm looking forward to. 46 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 2: Well, you're right, sometimes we push ourselves to the point 47 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 2: of exhaustion. But the thing is, I mean, I remember, 48 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 2: I think I mentioned this on the podcast before. Caitlin 49 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 2: Bristow was like, you guys, didn't have anyone come help 50 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 2: you clean up after the Bachelor people came near house 51 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 2: on Friday. 52 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,679 Speaker 3: Night, and I said no. 53 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 2: And the thing is, we like to do stuff ourselves 54 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 2: because I think it means so much more. 55 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: I find the cleaning cathartic. I know you always because 56 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: I do all the cooking here in this co hosting relationship, 57 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 1: but I also end up cleaning mostly in the kitchen. 58 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: But I'll be honest, it's because I find it cathartic. 59 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 1: I like it. I end up talking to you usually 60 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: sit at the table and we talk. And I like 61 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 1: to put things where they're supposed to be in my kitchen. 62 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: I definitely am am dominant and territorial in my kitchen. 63 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: I like things a certain way, and so I don't mind. 64 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: It didn't bother me at all to clean up everybody's glasses, 65 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: put them up in the bar, and get everything back 66 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: the way I like it to look. 67 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,679 Speaker 2: Here's a question I have for everyone because you and 68 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,359 Speaker 2: I differ on this, and I think this is part 69 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 2: of why you end up cleaning up. I am okay 70 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 2: with leaving a sink full of dirty dishes until the 71 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 2: next morning. I'm not a disgusting person. I love a 72 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 2: clean and organized home. But Chris can't go to bed 73 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 2: unless the kitchen is clean. Please tell us where do 74 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 2: you follow everyone? And Babe, why do you think that 75 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 2: is like psychologically? Why can't you just let the dishes 76 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 2: wait until the next morning? 77 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: I can, but no you can. But here's you're here. 78 00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 1: Here's the thing. I've allowed this to happen once. Or 79 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: you're like, I got it, Babe. You go to bed 80 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: or whatever, and I get up in the morning and 81 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: it's just been moved around. So here's how this goes. 82 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: I'm the first person up, so whether I do it 83 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 1: at night before I go to bed, I'm the first 84 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: up in the morning, so either way, I'm facing it. 85 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: So I would rather face it at night and know 86 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: when I wake up, I'm the first to walk in 87 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: the kitchen and everything spot. 88 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 2: No, you're not addressing what is a psychological thing. I 89 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 2: would clean it up when I wake up in the morning. 90 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 3: It is about why can't you wait a little bit. 91 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 3: I don't know, like I would wake up at nine 92 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 3: am and clean it up or whenever. 93 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, because I know I can't wake up and 94 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: just walk out and go to the gym and leave 95 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 1: the kitchen line. 96 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 3: Why is that? 97 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what that is. Yeah, 98 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: and we need go I don't know, But I just 99 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 1: I like everything tidy when I when I wake up, 100 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 1: I like waking up to everything clean. I love when 101 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: our house is. And by the way, you are really 102 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 1: good at this. You organize after I go to bed, 103 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 1: because you always up later than I do. You'll organize. 104 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: I'll come in and things are always you know, spotless, 105 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: you've cleaned, and you've organized, You've done laundry. I like 106 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: waking up to that. Okay, I like the organization and 107 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: I and this is why I don't like airbnbs. 108 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 2: I think sometimes you have to welcome those moments of 109 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 2: like planning your wedding stuff together and or your or 110 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 2: your parties and doing the cleanup and the breakdown together, 111 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 2: because sometimes those moments, like you just said, are the 112 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 2: best memories. I always say, the debrief after is sometimes 113 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 2: just as fun as the event itself. Like I will 114 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,279 Speaker 2: always remember putting together gift bags for both my sister's 115 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 2: wedding and our wedding in my garage with my little 116 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,039 Speaker 2: sister and my brother's girlfriend, Casey, and my mom. Like, 117 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 2: we laughed and we had a great time doing all 118 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 2: that stuff. Yes, my mother completely annihilated and destroyed our 119 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 2: kitchen because she wanted to bake everything for our brunch. 120 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 2: I wouldn't have done that. I would have outsourced the food. 121 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 2: But sometimes you gotta let your mom do what she 122 00:05:59,040 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 2: wants to do. 123 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: And so this weekend, this last weekend, we went up 124 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: to TCU up at Fort Worth, Texas for Dad's technically 125 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: it was Dad's weekend with Taylor with our daughter. 126 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 3: Thank you for letting me crash Dad's weekend. 127 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: You crash Dad's weekend. So Taylor is a theta in 128 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 1: the sorority. So is Lauren from Miszoo, and so Lauren 129 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,359 Speaker 1: came up kind of crashed Dad's weekend in a good way. 130 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 2: Can I say we kind of had this idea of 131 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 2: because some of our best friends also have kids at TCU. 132 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 2: It was a big game. I can't believe I know this, 133 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 2: and I'm saying this. It was the ut game, and 134 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 2: so we sort of made it a couple's weekend. So 135 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 2: I wasn't the only no no. There was a woman 136 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 2: crashing dad's weekend. 137 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,239 Speaker 1: There were other moms there and it was a blast. 138 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: We so step one, this is something and I'm not 139 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,919 Speaker 1: going to completely bag on a company. And if you 140 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: love this, good for you. We got an airbnb. Three couples, 141 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: we got an Airbnb. My best friend Chip, mother, Buddy Church, 142 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: and their wives. So three couples piled up into an Airbnb. 143 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 1: Now I think problem number one my buddy Chip is. 144 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 2: He's the same guy who was in his underwear locked 145 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 2: out of his hotel room in Napa. Ship is becoming 146 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 2: a real character on this spot. 147 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: So that is the baseline. Uh, this is the same 148 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: guy in the Apple Pie or Pumpkin Pie was He 149 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: was funking pie underwear at my weddings, trapped out of 150 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: his room. He booked an Airbnb. Now Airbnb's I'm not 151 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: a huge fan.

You're a diva on this one thing.

He doesn't 158 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 2: like to spend more time than he has to in airports. 159 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 2: He wants to be comfortable in hotel rooms. 160 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: My brother, my brother, and I know this about myself. 161 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: I you know, there's the videos with ill.

I am walking at 171 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: a good clip, you know, a good you know, say 172 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: ten miles an hour, and I am weaving, dodging, weaving, 173 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: go straight. 174 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 3: You are an Olympian. 175 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: My brother is like, I got to go to the 176 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: bathroom before we got I'm like, oh man, that just 177 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: that really just put the. 178 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 3: Can off you had to use the restaurants. Like just basically, the. 179 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: Car was here, the car was pulling up. The timing 180 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: was perfect. So I go on outside, so I say, 181 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: go to the bathroom. I'm going to go meet the car. 182 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: So the car doesn't leave. It was I don't know, 183 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: twenty yards from the bathroom. 184 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 3: Sorry, your brother had to go to the bathroom. 185 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: No, I didn't have a problem with that. But my 186 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: brother comes out of the bathroom and he calls me 187 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: and he's like, where are you? And I said, I 188 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: came outside to the ride share curb to meet our car. 189 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: It's here, come on out. He's like, well, where is it? 190 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: Is it crazy to look for signs? Like there's a 191 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 1: sign right there that says ride share. Just I said, 192 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: just walk straight out. You're going the right direction. I 193 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: can see you. Just So he gets outside and we 194 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,959 Speaker 1: put a luggage and he goes, man, you don't waste 195 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: any time now, And I said, you know, it's just 196 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 1: been years of survival, of trying to get home, of 197 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 1: trying to get through airports and Third world countries, planes, trains, 198 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: and automobiles. It is a survival thing. So I know 199 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 1: this about myself. 200 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 2: A diva about travel and accommodation. Yes, and I would 201 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 2: love to hear from everybody. By the way, do you 202 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 2: prefer hotels or airbnbs? Where do you fall? Because I 203 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 2: don't know. So your buddy Chip had picked this, And 204 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 2: here's I think the mistake Chip made. Yeah, I think 205 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 2: he glanced at the listing and the listing said three bathrooms. 206 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 2: There's three couples. We get there. Every couple does not 207 00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 2: have a bathroom. We are sharing bathrooms. And Chris Harris, 208 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 2: I think the listing was really for like a half 209 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 2: powder bath and Chris Harrison, even with his best friends, 210 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 2: does not want to share a bathroom. 211 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 3: But again, everybody please weigh in. I don't know. 212 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 2: I might be I think it might be an age 213 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 2: thing because my mom will tell me, like me and 214 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 2: my girlfriends when we go on trips, we still share 215 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 2: bathrooms and we're fine. And maybe that's just because it's 216 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 2: only women. But my mom she's like, oh, and my 217 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 2: friends and I go on trips, we do not share bathrooms. 218 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 2: So maybe it's as you get older, you need your own. 219 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 3: The house oilet space. 220 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: The house is a great location. The house had enough bedrooms. Thankfully, 221 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: no one slept on the couch but it was a 222 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: bit of a dump. 223 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,959 Speaker 2: I'll give him that. There was cardboard on the wind, 224 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 2: there was cardboard in the bathroom. There were cardboard covering 225 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 2: the windows, so there was a nasty shower curtain. It 226 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 2: felt like on a college weekend. It felt like we 227 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 2: weren't a frat house. 228 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: The bonus I will say about airbnbs were all together, 229 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: so three couples living together for the weekend. It was 230 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 1: a bit of a fraternity sorority house. And that part 231 00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: was fine. We all have children at TCU. 232 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 2: How kai youp salon something was our our for the 233 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 2: TCU parents, we need to come up with the Greek letters. 234 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: So Dad's weekend, any parent's weekend, is very interesting. We 235 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: all come in as parents and you basically live the 236 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: life of a college student for about three days. And 237 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,559 Speaker 1: that's one to two days too many for most parents. 238 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: We will tell the story of the dad who was 239 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: doubled over throwing up in the parking lot. I'm there 240 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: was that day. 241 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 3: We've never been that parent. 242 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 1: No, but but for three days, you are going into 243 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 1: the sleep habits of a college kid, the eating habits 244 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 1: of a college kid. What I mean by that is 245 00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: maybe you'll go to the one of the kid's houses. 246 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: All of our kids live either dorms or houses, and 247 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 1: so we went to a friend's daughter's house. We're playing 248 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: this game called rage Cage, ordering fried pickles and pizza 249 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: at twelve thirty at night. It is you know how 250 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:17,319 Speaker 1: we all like our sleeping habits and our routines. 251 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 2: You don't have that, no, right, I didn't think about 252 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 2: it this way. We were all wondering why we're so exhausted. 253 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 2: That's exactly why. Because the beautiful thing about it is 254 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 2: the kids want to show you the life they're living. 255 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 2: They want you, they want you to meet their friends 256 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 2: and see, this is where I get lunch, and this 257 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 2: is where we go out and come out to the bars, 258 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 2: and it's They think it's so cool that their parents 259 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 2: are there, and it is. 260 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 3: But then we're. 261 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,319 Speaker 2: Staying up till two in the morning and I haven't 262 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 2: worked out in three days, and yeah, I've drank a 263 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 2: white claw. I never drink a white claw unless I'm 264 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 2: at a TCU weekend. I don't even know the flavors. 265 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 2: I said, oh wow, they have peach. Because when we're 266 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 2: at the fraternity tailgate, the best option pulled out of 267 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 2: the cooler is the white claw not going to drink 268 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 2: the jungle juice as they call it that the frat 269 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 2: boys are brewing in an igloo. 270 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: No, the so we get there, you know, we got 271 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: there Thursday and we had, you know, a nice dinner 272 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: and some cocktails. But then Friday. So Friday it all 273 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,439 Speaker 1: kind of begins. And the Thedas, by the way, Thetas 274 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: are amazing, love them all. They had the itinerary, they 275 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 1: had activities, they had it nailed down. So we went 276 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: to lunch and then we went mini golfing and go karting. 277 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 3: Perfect activity for the dads. 278 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: Reactivity for the dads. 279 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 3: Some of them brought their own putters to mini golf. 280 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:39,959 Speaker 1: It was fun. And then we all went to a 281 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 1: dinner after where we had some cocktails. Then we decided 282 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 1: that was just the prelude to the entire night. Then 283 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: we go out to this great bar in Fourth called 284 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 1: the poop Deck. 285 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 3: What a name, I think. 286 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 2: Imagine confidently naming your business the poop Deck. 287 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 1: It's kind of a pirate theme. It's a boat. 288 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 3: They serve food there. They do, they do, They have 289 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 3: a many They start scallops. 290 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: Not they should have rethought the poop deck serving food, 291 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: but anyway, it's also just a great karaoke bar, that's 292 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 1: what it is. And yes, I did get on stage 293 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 1: with with my daughter Taylor. We did karaoke. Yes, my 294 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 1: song is Friends in Low Places by Garth Brooks. Because 295 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: it's short, it's sweet, and everybody can just yell it, 296 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 1: so we crushed it. Lauren did get up. She also karaoke. 297 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: You did Mister Brightside, which is a crowd pleaser. So 298 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: that that was Saturday. But we're not done. 299 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 2: Quick note on karaoke song selection is so important. You've 300 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 2: taught me that every karaoke bar should have an abbreviated 301 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 2: version of every song. A full song is too long 302 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 2: to sing like one. A karaoke song should be a minute. 303 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 3: That's it. 304 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 2: And I will also say Chris Harrison actually has a 305 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 2: pretty good voice. 306 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 3: Pretty good voice. 307 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: Yeah. 308 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 3: Yeah. 309 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 1: So we're leaving the poop Deck, you know, and I'm 310 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: a big fan of leaving on a high. You know, 311 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: my son's there, his girlfriend and Taylor and our friends 312 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: are there. We had a great time, had a few cocktails. 313 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: Then we leave. We're like, okay, let's get out of here. 314 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: We walk out in the parking lot and here is 315 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 1: the scene, because this happens every parent's weekend all across 316 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: the country. There's that mom, there's that dad. So daughter 317 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 1: is standing beside him, embarrassed as can be. Mom is 318 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: rubbing dad's back. Dad is doubled over throwing up ten 319 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: feet from the door of the poop deck, and we 320 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: all just walk by, and I'm like, just your goal 321 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: is always don't be that parent. I know, because flash 322 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 1: forward to the next day. So that's just Friday, well, 323 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: Saturday's game day. 324 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the thing is you've nailed it in that 325 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 2: you're living the college life. But it's what thirty years 326 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 2: after you should be, right, So some of the parents, 327 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 2: obviously none of us. You can't drink on the same 328 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 2: level as these kids. You can't go on this little sleep, 329 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 2: you can't eat this food they're eating. And it is 330 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 2: a marathon, not a sprint, because when you come in 331 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 2: for these parents' weekends, they've planned one million adorably, they've 332 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 2: planned a million activities for you to do, and like 333 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 2: you said, there's still the football game coming. Plus i 334 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 2: mean we went to poop deck, We're like, okay, let's 335 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 2: be home by one am. 336 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 3: The kids don't even go out until ten thirty. 337 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 1: No, our kids drop us off at one and then 338 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: they go out. 339 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 2: Like that's all right, that's already a lot for us. 340 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 2: We're usually holed by eleven. They're going out at eleven. 341 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: And then you go back to the house and again 342 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 1: it's the fried pickles and the pizza and you're eating late, 343 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: and then. 344 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 3: It gives you new appreciation for your parents. 345 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 1: Then there's game day and we go to the pregame 346 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: tailgate party. This is at my son's fight cap little fraternity, 347 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: and we're all their daughter, everybody, all our friends are there. 348 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: They have a mechanical bowl. So again, don't don't be 349 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 1: that mom, don't be that dead. Don't get on the 350 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: mechanical bowl. As much as people will urge you, Oh, 351 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: mister Harrison, it'll get up there. It'll be awesome. 352 00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 2: Until you've fallen, break a collar ball until no, just 353 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 2: until you're there, and then you're that person for life. 354 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: So you can't ever take those pictures and videos back. 355 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,199 Speaker 2: That's the probab Well, first of all, everyone has a 356 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 2: cell phone. Yeah, I mean, that's the thing I've noticed 357 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,239 Speaker 2: that's different with the kids in college. Like I was 358 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 2: talking to Taylor about how where I went Miszoo. I 359 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 2: forget how many, but there was this list of things 360 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 2: you're supposed to do before you graduate, and one of them, 361 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 2: which I never did, was streak the quad. Yeah, you 362 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 2: could never do that. Today everybody has a cell phone. 363 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 2: Everybody'd be pulling it out. That video would live forever, 364 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 2: so kids and parents be aware. 365 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 1: But I'm standing next to one of the dads. ACDC 366 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 1: is blaring and I look over and he has one 367 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: of those little mini shot you know bottles, the plastic 368 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: bottles of fireball, and his daughter puts one in her 369 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: mouth and without using hands, you lift it up and 370 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,640 Speaker 1: you take the shot. You down the whole bottle of fireball. 371 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 1: Dad does it right next to her. 372 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 3: And I'm like, man, I was kind of impressed by that. 373 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,200 Speaker 1: I was impressed, but I'm like, that's gonna come back 374 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: to hunt. 375 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 3: Well, you just got to watch yourself. 376 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 2: I mean, because here, from what I've seen at these weekends, 377 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 2: here are the two pitfalls. The dads tend to drink 378 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 2: too much and they either pass out too early or 379 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,119 Speaker 2: we're saying the problem people, or they throw up in 380 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 2: a parking lot and that's bad. 381 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 3: The moms tend to get a little too. 382 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,639 Speaker 2: If you're the mom, you shouldn't be being You do 383 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,359 Speaker 2: get on the bowl, or you. 384 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 3: Think it's fun to dance up on a table, or 385 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:19,120 Speaker 3: you get a. 386 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 2: Little too flirty, and so you just got to watch 387 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 2: those two. You don't want to fall into those two buckets. 388 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:29,199 Speaker 1: Just remember you're not Chris. You always need to be 389 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 1: mister Harrison. 390 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 3: Oh that's a good game. 391 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:35,479 Speaker 1: That is your lesson. Always be the mister of you 392 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: are the dad, you are the mom. Just remember that 393 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 1: you are at that next level and you need to 394 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 1: be now. I did, even though they want to bring 395 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 1: you down. 396 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 2: Well. 397 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 3: The thing is, though, you have to watch the line 398 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,400 Speaker 3: because the kids also want you to have fun. 399 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: Oh we a bit. 400 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 3: I think it's so fun. 401 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 2: If you play rage Cage with them, if you do 402 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 2: karaoke with them again, And it warms my heart because 403 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 2: I love seeing that they're happy. Like there's nothing that 404 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 2: makes me happier more than to see the kids say 405 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 2: hi to friends they've made and to know that they're happy. 406 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 2: I would rather and they do call us, but I 407 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 2: would rather not hear from them and know they're having 408 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,119 Speaker 2: a great time than obviously them call and want to 409 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,439 Speaker 2: come home and they're in such a great place. But 410 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 2: I did as much as they want you to have fun, 411 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,160 Speaker 2: and they like make sure you're included in things. 412 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 3: We did have to adjust the music at the tailgate 413 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 3: because there's literally a DJ. 414 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 2: At this tailgate and the kid is playing I mean 415 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,440 Speaker 2: music that I'm a millennial that I hadn't even heard. 416 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 2: I guess it's that new, but it was like unedited, 417 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 2: like someone's grandpa, Someone's Grandpa's there at Dad's weekend, and 418 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:42,680 Speaker 2: the music is like swear words, swear word, inappropriate word, 419 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 2: like like all these things. And I pulled aside one 420 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 2: of the kids and I said, hey, this is Dad's weekend. 421 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 2: We got to crank the dad jams, get some eighties 422 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 2: music on for the dads. We need to adjust, we 423 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 2: need not so many expletives. And luckily one of them 424 00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 2: went up there and threw on his eighties playlist and 425 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 2: before you know it, all the dads were rocking out 426 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 2: to Journey and it was so cute. 427 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: Then game day comes and we go to the game. 428 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 1: By the way, great game, so much fun. It was 429 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,120 Speaker 1: packed a night game, as all college games should be. 430 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 3: The university let me stop. 431 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 1: The University of Texas finally beat TCU. Kudos to the 432 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,439 Speaker 1: Longhorns for winning, but it did not dampen. 433 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 3: Did you just say the game was so much fun? 434 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: It was? I love you so okay, let's hash I 435 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:32,120 Speaker 1: know you didn't love the full game, but you really 436 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 1: got into the spectacle. We got there like twenty minutes early. 437 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 1: We were walking down Frog Alley. It's packed, everybody's having 438 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,239 Speaker 1: a cocktail. It's great, we're tailgating. Then you walked in 439 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 1: and they had the fireworks and the displays, and you 440 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: got into all the flyover. 441 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 2: All of that is fun. When it starts only being football, 442 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,360 Speaker 2: it stops being fun. And the problem is that it's 443 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:52,400 Speaker 2: four hours. 444 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:53,640 Speaker 3: Let's hash this out. 445 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 2: I really think I think I might be done. I 446 00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 2: don't want you to waste the money on the ticket 447 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 2: on me anymore. I'm going to come to the weekends 448 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 2: as or you have to be okay with me only 449 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 2: going to half. 450 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:10,119 Speaker 1: Well, you know what, I realized, Taylor's the same, you 451 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 1: and Taylor, our daughter. She's the same. She does not 452 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,359 Speaker 1: enjoy going to football games. She does not really go 453 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: to football games. She'll stay it for like half yeah, 454 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 1: no matter what, and just because her friends are there 455 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: and she knew I wanted to go so and all 456 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,239 Speaker 1: the dads, so what the dads do? There was all 457 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,919 Speaker 1: these day to dads. We all sat together. There's like 458 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 1: four or five of us and our kids, and we're 459 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: all together in the end zone. And it was a 460 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: perfect one of those perfect fall football nights. So that part, 461 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 1: to me, warms my heart. It was wonderful. I did 462 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 1: we did have one major issue. I don't want to 463 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 1: go too deep into this because it's been kind of 464 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,680 Speaker 1: done before, but when I looked over and you had 465 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 1: a hot dog and you had ketchup on your hot dog, 466 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 1: oh my god, I'll just be honest. I don't understand it. 467 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: I don't get it. 468 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,159 Speaker 3: This is so crazy. Why are you so fired up 469 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 3: about this? Are we going to get divorced? We've been 470 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 3: married a week. 471 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,120 Speaker 1: We're gonna get on a hot dog? You know, someone 472 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 1: dm me and they go mayonnaise. I would have broken 473 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 1: up with you if I'd looked over and you were 474 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 1: like slashing on something. 475 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 2: And manly, we've been together five years and this just 476 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 2: came up. I guess it's because I don't go to 477 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 2: sporting events and get a hot dog very often. But 478 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 2: obviously when I'm at a sporting event. All that I 479 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 2: have to do activity wise is eat and snacks and drink. 480 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 3: There's nothing else to do. 481 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,120 Speaker 2: So I got a hot dog and I come back 482 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 2: and I have I have only ketchup on the hot dog. 483 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 2: That's how I usually eat a hot dog. I just 484 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 2: throw some ketchup on there. Chris thinks it's offensive to 485 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,400 Speaker 2: have ketchup on the hot dog at all.
