<v Speaker 2>parents weekend at TCU. Now we are home.

0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:25.680
<v Speaker 3>So when he says we have our house in our

0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:28.600
<v Speaker 3>life back, we really like.

0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:33.400
<v Speaker 2>We paid a neighborhood kid to clear all of the

0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:37.280
<v Speaker 2>cardboard boxes out of our garage because of all of

0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:39.600
<v Speaker 2>the stuff we had ordered for all these different things.

0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:42.600
<v Speaker 3>I've we yeah, I don't know.

0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:44.720
<v Speaker 1>We were gone at Dad's weekend at TCU. We had

0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:47.840
<v Speaker 1>to pay pay a neighborhood kid to come in, gave

0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:50.320
<v Speaker 1>him a couple hundred bucks to just take everything out

0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:53.040
<v Speaker 1>of our garage because things have just piled up. Like

0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:57.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, a normal week probably for many people around

0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:00.040
<v Speaker 1>the country, you just get a thousand Amazon box. This

0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:04.360
<v Speaker 1>is multiply that by a thousand, and that was our

0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:06.640
<v Speaker 1>garage and our life and things that just piled up

0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:07.080
<v Speaker 1>beyond me.

0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:08.920
<v Speaker 2>And I don't mean it to sound like we're venting.

0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:11.320
<v Speaker 2>These have all been wonderful things. People keep asking me

0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:14.359
<v Speaker 2>friends and people on Instagram, like, oh my.

0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:15.800
<v Speaker 3>Gosh, are you exhausted? Are you tired?

0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:19.320
<v Speaker 2>Yes, But there's nothing I would rather be tired about.

0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:21.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm so happy, We're so lucky.

0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:23.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking forward to a little downtime. Although we're heading

0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:26.280
<v Speaker 1>into the holidays, Yeah, but I'm looking forward to.

0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:29.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, you're right, sometimes we push ourselves to the point

0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:33.680
<v Speaker 2>of exhaustion. But the thing is, I mean, I remember,

0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:35.600
<v Speaker 2>I think I mentioned this on the podcast before. Caitlin

0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:39.280
<v Speaker 2>Bristow was like, you guys, didn't have anyone come help

0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:41.440
<v Speaker 2>you clean up after the Bachelor people came near house

0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:42.200
<v Speaker 2>on Friday.

0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:43.679
<v Speaker 3>Night, and I said no.

0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:47.920
<v Speaker 2>And the thing is, we like to do stuff ourselves

0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:50.120
<v Speaker 2>because I think it means so much more.

0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:52.720
<v Speaker 1>I find the cleaning cathartic. I know you always because

0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:55.880
<v Speaker 1>I do all the cooking here in this co hosting relationship,

0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:59.960
<v Speaker 1>but I also end up cleaning mostly in the kitchen.

0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:02.880
<v Speaker 1>But I'll be honest, it's because I find it cathartic.

0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:05.640
<v Speaker 1>I like it. I end up talking to you usually

0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:08.000
<v Speaker 1>sit at the table and we talk. And I like

0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:10.360
<v Speaker 1>to put things where they're supposed to be in my kitchen.

0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:15.560
<v Speaker 1>I definitely am am dominant and territorial in my kitchen.

0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:17.680
<v Speaker 1>I like things a certain way, and so I don't mind.

0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:20.480
<v Speaker 1>It didn't bother me at all to clean up everybody's glasses,

0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:22.440
<v Speaker 1>put them up in the bar, and get everything back

0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:24.360
<v Speaker 1>the way I like it to look.

0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:26.679
<v Speaker 2>Here's a question I have for everyone because you and

0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:28.359
<v Speaker 2>I differ on this, and I think this is part

0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:31.200
<v Speaker 2>of why you end up cleaning up. I am okay

0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:34.840
<v Speaker 2>with leaving a sink full of dirty dishes until the

0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:38.160
<v Speaker 2>next morning. I'm not a disgusting person. I love a

0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:41.680
<v Speaker 2>clean and organized home. But Chris can't go to bed

0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:45.160
<v Speaker 2>unless the kitchen is clean. Please tell us where do

0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:47.600
<v Speaker 2>you follow everyone? And Babe, why do you think that

0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:51.080
<v Speaker 2>is like psychologically? Why can't you just let the dishes

0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:52.280
<v Speaker 2>wait until the next morning?

0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:55.440
<v Speaker 1>I can, but no you can. But here's you're here.

0:03:56.240 --> 0:04:00.120
<v Speaker 1>Here's the thing. I've allowed this to happen once. Or

0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:02.000
<v Speaker 1>you're like, I got it, Babe. You go to bed

0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:04.520
<v Speaker 1>or whatever, and I get up in the morning and

0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:09.520
<v Speaker 1>it's just been moved around. So here's how this goes.

0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:13.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm the first person up, so whether I do it

0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:16.159
<v Speaker 1>at night before I go to bed, I'm the first

0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:18.880
<v Speaker 1>up in the morning, so either way, I'm facing it.

0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:21.440
<v Speaker 1>So I would rather face it at night and know

0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:23.400
<v Speaker 1>when I wake up, I'm the first to walk in

0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:25.000
<v Speaker 1>the kitchen and everything spot.

0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:28.480
<v Speaker 2>No, you're not addressing what is a psychological thing. I

0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:30.600
<v Speaker 2>would clean it up when I wake up in the morning.

0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:33.640
<v Speaker 3>It is about why can't you wait a little bit.

0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:35.720
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, like I would wake up at nine

0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:37.360
<v Speaker 3>am and clean it up or whenever.

0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:40.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, because I know I can't wake up and

0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:41.960
<v Speaker 1>just walk out and go to the gym and leave

0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:42.600
<v Speaker 1>the kitchen line.

0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:43.080
<v Speaker 3>Why is that?

0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:46.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I don't know what that is. Yeah,

0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:47.760
<v Speaker 1>and we need go I don't know, But I just

0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:50.160
<v Speaker 1>I like everything tidy when I when I wake up,

0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:53.480
<v Speaker 1>I like waking up to everything clean. I love when

0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:56.400
<v Speaker 1>our house is. And by the way, you are really

0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:59.280
<v Speaker 1>good at this. You organize after I go to bed,

0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:02.039
<v Speaker 1>because you always up later than I do. You'll organize.

0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:04.560
<v Speaker 1>I'll come in and things are always you know, spotless,

0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:07.320
<v Speaker 1>you've cleaned, and you've organized, You've done laundry. I like

0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:11.400
<v Speaker 1>waking up to that. Okay, I like the organization and

0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:13.520
<v Speaker 1>I and this is why I don't like airbnbs.

0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:18.480
<v Speaker 2>I think sometimes you have to welcome those moments of

0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:21.600
<v Speaker 2>like planning your wedding stuff together and or your or

0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:24.880
<v Speaker 2>your parties and doing the cleanup and the breakdown together,

0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:29.159
<v Speaker 2>because sometimes those moments, like you just said, are the

0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:32.960
<v Speaker 2>best memories. I always say, the debrief after is sometimes

0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:35.480
<v Speaker 2>just as fun as the event itself. Like I will

0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:39.279
<v Speaker 2>always remember putting together gift bags for both my sister's

0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:42.400
<v Speaker 2>wedding and our wedding in my garage with my little

0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:45.039
<v Speaker 2>sister and my brother's girlfriend, Casey, and my mom. Like,

0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:47.280
<v Speaker 2>we laughed and we had a great time doing all

0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:50.720
<v Speaker 2>that stuff. Yes, my mother completely annihilated and destroyed our

0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:54.760
<v Speaker 2>kitchen because she wanted to bake everything for our brunch.

0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:57.080
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't have done that. I would have outsourced the food.

0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:59.000
<v Speaker 2>But sometimes you gotta let your mom do what she

0:05:59.040 --> 0:05:59.480
<v Speaker 2>wants to do.

0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:01.640
<v Speaker 1>And so this weekend, this last weekend, we went up

0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:05.640
<v Speaker 1>to TCU up at Fort Worth, Texas for Dad's technically

0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:08.760
<v Speaker 1>it was Dad's weekend with Taylor with our daughter.

0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:11.040
<v Speaker 3>Thank you for letting me crash Dad's weekend.

0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:14.000
<v Speaker 1>You crash Dad's weekend. So Taylor is a theta in

0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:18.599
<v Speaker 1>the sorority. So is Lauren from Miszoo, and so Lauren

0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:21.359
<v Speaker 1>came up kind of crashed Dad's weekend in a good way.

0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:24.320
<v Speaker 2>Can I say we kind of had this idea of

0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:27.400
<v Speaker 2>because some of our best friends also have kids at TCU.

0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:29.520
<v Speaker 2>It was a big game. I can't believe I know this,

0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:32.640
<v Speaker 2>and I'm saying this. It was the ut game, and

0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:35.200
<v Speaker 2>so we sort of made it a couple's weekend. So

0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:37.240
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't the only no no. There was a woman

0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:38.240
<v Speaker 2>crashing dad's weekend.

0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:40.239
<v Speaker 1>There were other moms there and it was a blast.

0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:43.800
<v Speaker 1>We so step one, this is something and I'm not

0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:46.919
<v Speaker 1>going to completely bag on a company. And if you

0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:52.000
<v Speaker 1>love this, good for you. We got an airbnb. Three couples,

0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:56.760
<v Speaker 1>we got an Airbnb. My best friend Chip, mother, Buddy Church,

0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:00.760
<v Speaker 1>and their wives. So three couples piled up into an Airbnb.

0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:05.279
<v Speaker 1>Now I think problem number one my buddy Chip is.

0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:07.960
<v Speaker 2>He's the same guy who was in his underwear locked

0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:09.960
<v Speaker 2>out of his hotel room in Napa. Ship is becoming

0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:11.040
<v Speaker 2>a real character on this spot.

0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:13.400
<v Speaker 1>So that is the baseline. Uh, this is the same

0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:15.960
<v Speaker 1>guy in the Apple Pie or Pumpkin Pie was He

0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:19.680
<v Speaker 1>was funking pie underwear at my weddings, trapped out of

0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:24.480
<v Speaker 1>his room. He booked an Airbnb. Now Airbnb's I'm not

0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:27.520
<v Speaker 1>a huge fan. I'm a maybe I'm old school, but

0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:28.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm a hotel.

0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:28.880
<v Speaker 3>You're a diva.

0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:31.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna say, Chris Harrison is not a diva on

0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:34.200
<v Speaker 2>many things. You're a diva on this one thing. I

0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:37.960
<v Speaker 2>think it's from years of travel with the show decade decades.

0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:42.280
<v Speaker 2>He is a diva with travel and accommodations. He doesn't

0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:44.400
<v Speaker 2>like to spend more time than he has to in airports.

0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:46.680
<v Speaker 2>He wants to be comfortable in hotel rooms.

0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:49.680
<v Speaker 1>My brother, my brother, and I know this about myself.

0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:52.560
<v Speaker 1>I you know, there's the videos with ill. Yeah, you

0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:54.440
<v Speaker 1>know the TikTok with the memes, and you got the

0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:58.559
<v Speaker 1>music from the hardware commercial. That's uh, you know guys

0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:00.720
<v Speaker 1>going through an airport. I get that. I was with

0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:02.640
<v Speaker 1>my brother at the World Series a few weeks ago

0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:05.640
<v Speaker 1>in Arizona, and I haven't traveled with my brother in

0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:07.800
<v Speaker 1>quite some time. He came to Austin, then we flew

0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:11.160
<v Speaker 1>out to Arizona together and I get off the plane.

0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:13.680
<v Speaker 1>I ordered the Uber. I know where the uber is

0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:16.400
<v Speaker 1>because I've been to Phoenix before. I am walking at

0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:18.480
<v Speaker 1>a good clip, you know, a good you know, say

0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:22.160
<v Speaker 1>ten miles an hour, and I am weaving, dodging, weaving,

0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:23.120
<v Speaker 1>go straight.

0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:23.760
<v Speaker 3>You are an Olympian.

0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:27.240
<v Speaker 1>My brother is like, I got to go to the

0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:29.720
<v Speaker 1>bathroom before we got I'm like, oh man, that just

0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:31.520
<v Speaker 1>that really just put the.

0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:35.920
<v Speaker 3>Can off you had to use the restaurants. Like just basically, the.

0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:38.360
<v Speaker 1>Car was here, the car was pulling up. The timing

0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:41.600
<v Speaker 1>was perfect. So I go on outside, so I say,

0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:43.360
<v Speaker 1>go to the bathroom. I'm going to go meet the car.

0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:46.520
<v Speaker 1>So the car doesn't leave. It was I don't know,

0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:48.240
<v Speaker 1>twenty yards from the bathroom.

0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:49.920
<v Speaker 3>Sorry, your brother had to go to the bathroom.

0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:52.280
<v Speaker 1>No, I didn't have a problem with that. But my

0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:54.160
<v Speaker 1>brother comes out of the bathroom and he calls me

0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:55.720
<v Speaker 1>and he's like, where are you? And I said, I

0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:59.160
<v Speaker 1>came outside to the ride share curb to meet our car.

0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:03.160
<v Speaker 1>It's here, come on out. He's like, well, where is it?

0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:06.480
<v Speaker 1>Is it crazy to look for signs? Like there's a

0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:09.560
<v Speaker 1>sign right there that says ride share. Just I said,

0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:12.440
<v Speaker 1>just walk straight out. You're going the right direction. I

0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:15.520
<v Speaker 1>can see you. Just So he gets outside and we

0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:17.959
<v Speaker 1>put a luggage and he goes, man, you don't waste

0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:20.640
<v Speaker 1>any time now, And I said, you know, it's just

0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:24.800
<v Speaker 1>been years of survival, of trying to get home, of

0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:28.600
<v Speaker 1>trying to get through airports and Third world countries, planes, trains,

0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:31.520
<v Speaker 1>and automobiles. It is a survival thing. So I know

0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:32.680
<v Speaker 1>this about myself.

0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:36.280
<v Speaker 2>A diva about travel and accommodation. Yes, and I would

0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:39.640
<v Speaker 2>love to hear from everybody. By the way, do you

0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:43.640
<v Speaker 2>prefer hotels or airbnbs? Where do you fall? Because I

0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:46.200
<v Speaker 2>don't know. So your buddy Chip had picked this, And

0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:48.480
<v Speaker 2>here's I think the mistake Chip made. Yeah, I think

0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:52.360
<v Speaker 2>he glanced at the listing and the listing said three bathrooms.

0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:57.000
<v Speaker 2>There's three couples. We get there. Every couple does not

0:09:57.040 --> 0:10:01.120
<v Speaker 2>have a bathroom. We are sharing bathrooms. And Chris Harris,

0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:03.640
<v Speaker 2>I think the listing was really for like a half

0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:07.400
<v Speaker 2>powder bath and Chris Harrison, even with his best friends,

0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:08.760
<v Speaker 2>does not want to share a bathroom.

0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:11.160
<v Speaker 3>But again, everybody please weigh in. I don't know.

0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:12.920
<v Speaker 2>I might be I think it might be an age

0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:15.960
<v Speaker 2>thing because my mom will tell me, like me and

0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:18.200
<v Speaker 2>my girlfriends when we go on trips, we still share

0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:20.160
<v Speaker 2>bathrooms and we're fine. And maybe that's just because it's

0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:23.400
<v Speaker 2>only women. But my mom she's like, oh, and my

0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:25.880
<v Speaker 2>friends and I go on trips, we do not share bathrooms.

0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:28.679
<v Speaker 2>So maybe it's as you get older, you need your own.

0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:29.800
<v Speaker 3>The house oilet space.

0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:33.400
<v Speaker 1>The house is a great location. The house had enough bedrooms. Thankfully,

0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:35.480
<v Speaker 1>no one slept on the couch but it was a

0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:36.160
<v Speaker 1>bit of a dump.

0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:38.959
<v Speaker 2>I'll give him that. There was cardboard on the wind,

0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:42.400
<v Speaker 2>there was cardboard in the bathroom. There were cardboard covering

0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:45.560
<v Speaker 2>the windows, so there was a nasty shower curtain. It

0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:48.120
<v Speaker 2>felt like on a college weekend. It felt like we

0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:49.040
<v Speaker 2>weren't a frat house.

0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:51.800
<v Speaker 1>The bonus I will say about airbnbs were all together,

0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:54.640
<v Speaker 1>so three couples living together for the weekend. It was

0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:57.680
<v Speaker 1>a bit of a fraternity sorority house. And that part

0:10:57.720 --> 0:10:59.760
<v Speaker 1>was fine. We all have children at TCU.

0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:05.680
<v Speaker 2>How kai youp salon something was our our for the

0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:18.920
<v Speaker 2>TCU parents, we need to come up with the Greek letters.

0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:26.600
<v Speaker 1>So Dad's weekend, any parent's weekend, is very interesting. We

0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:31.360
<v Speaker 1>all come in as parents and you basically live the

0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:35.400
<v Speaker 1>life of a college student for about three days. And

0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:38.559
<v Speaker 1>that's one to two days too many for most parents.

0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:42.520
<v Speaker 1>We will tell the story of the dad who was

0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:46.480
<v Speaker 1>doubled over throwing up in the parking lot. I'm there

0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:47.040
<v Speaker 1>was that day.

0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:48.280
<v Speaker 3>We've never been that parent.

0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:52.200
<v Speaker 1>No, but but for three days, you are going into

0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:55.320
<v Speaker 1>the sleep habits of a college kid, the eating habits

0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:57.080
<v Speaker 1>of a college kid. What I mean by that is

0:11:57.320 --> 0:11:59.040
<v Speaker 1>maybe you'll go to the one of the kid's houses.

0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:01.800
<v Speaker 1>All of our kids live either dorms or houses, and

0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:05.080
<v Speaker 1>so we went to a friend's daughter's house. We're playing

0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:09.360
<v Speaker 1>this game called rage Cage, ordering fried pickles and pizza

0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:13.200
<v Speaker 1>at twelve thirty at night. It is you know how

0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:17.319
<v Speaker 1>we all like our sleeping habits and our routines.

0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:19.920
<v Speaker 2>You don't have that, no, right, I didn't think about

0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:21.960
<v Speaker 2>it this way. We were all wondering why we're so exhausted.

0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:24.840
<v Speaker 2>That's exactly why. Because the beautiful thing about it is

0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:27.440
<v Speaker 2>the kids want to show you the life they're living.

0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:29.680
<v Speaker 2>They want you, they want you to meet their friends

0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:32.320
<v Speaker 2>and see, this is where I get lunch, and this

0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:34.160
<v Speaker 2>is where we go out and come out to the bars,

0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:36.880
<v Speaker 2>and it's They think it's so cool that their parents

0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:37.760
<v Speaker 2>are there, and it is.

0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:39.640
<v Speaker 3>But then we're.

0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:42.319
<v Speaker 2>Staying up till two in the morning and I haven't

0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:46.120
<v Speaker 2>worked out in three days, and yeah, I've drank a

0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:49.800
<v Speaker 2>white claw. I never drink a white claw unless I'm

0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:53.160
<v Speaker 2>at a TCU weekend. I don't even know the flavors.

0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:55.280
<v Speaker 2>I said, oh wow, they have peach. Because when we're

0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:58.280
<v Speaker 2>at the fraternity tailgate, the best option pulled out of

0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:00.640
<v Speaker 2>the cooler is the white claw not going to drink

0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:03.400
<v Speaker 2>the jungle juice as they call it that the frat

0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:05.760
<v Speaker 2>boys are brewing in an igloo.

0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:08.400
<v Speaker 1>No, the so we get there, you know, we got

0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:11.240
<v Speaker 1>there Thursday and we had, you know, a nice dinner

0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:13.880
<v Speaker 1>and some cocktails. But then Friday. So Friday it all

0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:17.439
<v Speaker 1>kind of begins. And the Thedas, by the way, Thetas

0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:20.800
<v Speaker 1>are amazing, love them all. They had the itinerary, they

0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:25.280
<v Speaker 1>had activities, they had it nailed down. So we went

0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:33.360
<v Speaker 1>to lunch and then we went mini golfing and go karting.

0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:34.760
<v Speaker 3>Perfect activity for the dads.

0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Reactivity for the dads.

0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:38.280
<v Speaker 3>Some of them brought their own putters to mini golf.

0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:39.959
<v Speaker 1>It was fun. And then we all went to a

0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:42.720
<v Speaker 1>dinner after where we had some cocktails. Then we decided

0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:45.040
<v Speaker 1>that was just the prelude to the entire night. Then

0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:47.880
<v Speaker 1>we go out to this great bar in Fourth called

0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:48.480
<v Speaker 1>the poop Deck.

0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:51.200
<v Speaker 3>What a name, I think.

0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:55.800
<v Speaker 2>Imagine confidently naming your business the poop Deck.

0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:58.280
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of a pirate theme. It's a boat.

0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:00.360
<v Speaker 3>They serve food there. They do, they do, They have

0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:01.800
<v Speaker 3>a many They start scallops.

0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Not they should have rethought the poop deck serving food,

0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:08.240
<v Speaker 1>but anyway, it's also just a great karaoke bar, that's

0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:11.360
<v Speaker 1>what it is. And yes, I did get on stage

0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:14.400
<v Speaker 1>with with my daughter Taylor. We did karaoke. Yes, my

0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:17.800
<v Speaker 1>song is Friends in Low Places by Garth Brooks. Because

0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:20.200
<v Speaker 1>it's short, it's sweet, and everybody can just yell it,

0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:23.640
<v Speaker 1>so we crushed it. Lauren did get up. She also karaoke.

0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:26.880
<v Speaker 1>You did Mister Brightside, which is a crowd pleaser. So

0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:29.600
<v Speaker 1>that that was Saturday. But we're not done.

0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:33.920
<v Speaker 2>Quick note on karaoke song selection is so important. You've

0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:37.880
<v Speaker 2>taught me that every karaoke bar should have an abbreviated

0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:40.280
<v Speaker 2>version of every song. A full song is too long

0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:43.080
<v Speaker 2>to sing like one. A karaoke song should be a minute.

0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:43.560
<v Speaker 3>That's it.

0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:46.400
<v Speaker 2>And I will also say Chris Harrison actually has a

0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:47.240
<v Speaker 2>pretty good voice.

0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:48.920
<v Speaker 3>Pretty good voice.

0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:49.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:49.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:52.760
<v Speaker 1>So we're leaving the poop Deck, you know, and I'm

0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:54.800
<v Speaker 1>a big fan of leaving on a high. You know,

0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:58.280
<v Speaker 1>my son's there, his girlfriend and Taylor and our friends

0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:00.560
<v Speaker 1>are there. We had a great time, had a few cocktails.

0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Then we leave. We're like, okay, let's get out of here.

0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:05.760
<v Speaker 1>We walk out in the parking lot and here is

0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:09.960
<v Speaker 1>the scene, because this happens every parent's weekend all across

0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:13.720
<v Speaker 1>the country. There's that mom, there's that dad. So daughter

0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:17.080
<v Speaker 1>is standing beside him, embarrassed as can be. Mom is

0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:21.320
<v Speaker 1>rubbing dad's back. Dad is doubled over throwing up ten

0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:23.720
<v Speaker 1>feet from the door of the poop deck, and we

0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:26.440
<v Speaker 1>all just walk by, and I'm like, just your goal

0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:31.200
<v Speaker 1>is always don't be that parent. I know, because flash

0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:34.040
<v Speaker 1>forward to the next day. So that's just Friday, well,

0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:35.160
<v Speaker 1>Saturday's game day.

0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:39.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's the thing is you've nailed it in that

0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:42.200
<v Speaker 2>you're living the college life. But it's what thirty years

0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:44.960
<v Speaker 2>after you should be, right, So some of the parents,

0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:47.480
<v Speaker 2>obviously none of us. You can't drink on the same

0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:50.120
<v Speaker 2>level as these kids. You can't go on this little sleep,

0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:53.080
<v Speaker 2>you can't eat this food they're eating. And it is

0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:55.160
<v Speaker 2>a marathon, not a sprint, because when you come in

0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:58.880
<v Speaker 2>for these parents' weekends, they've planned one million adorably, they've

0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:01.200
<v Speaker 2>planned a million activities for you to do, and like

0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:04.600
<v Speaker 2>you said, there's still the football game coming. Plus i

0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:07.120
<v Speaker 2>mean we went to poop deck, We're like, okay, let's

0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:08.240
<v Speaker 2>be home by one am.

0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:13.480
<v Speaker 3>The kids don't even go out until ten thirty.

0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:15.480
<v Speaker 1>No, our kids drop us off at one and then

0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:16.440
<v Speaker 1>they go out.

0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:18.280
<v Speaker 2>Like that's all right, that's already a lot for us.

0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:23.680
<v Speaker 2>We're usually holed by eleven. They're going out at eleven.

0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:24.840
<v Speaker 1>And then you go back to the house and again

0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:27.360
<v Speaker 1>it's the fried pickles and the pizza and you're eating late,

0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:28.680
<v Speaker 1>and then.

0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:30.440
<v Speaker 3>It gives you new appreciation for your parents.

0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:33.800
<v Speaker 1>Then there's game day and we go to the pregame

0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:39.240
<v Speaker 1>tailgate party. This is at my son's fight cap little fraternity,

0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:42.400
<v Speaker 1>and we're all their daughter, everybody, all our friends are there.

0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:47.920
<v Speaker 1>They have a mechanical bowl. So again, don't don't be

0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:50.280
<v Speaker 1>that mom, don't be that dead. Don't get on the

0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:53.720
<v Speaker 1>mechanical bowl. As much as people will urge you, Oh,

0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:57.000
<v Speaker 1>mister Harrison, it'll get up there. It'll be awesome.

0:16:56.680 --> 0:16:59.160
<v Speaker 2>Until you've fallen, break a collar ball until no, just

0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:02.040
<v Speaker 2>until you're there, and then you're that person for life.

0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:05.280
<v Speaker 1>So you can't ever take those pictures and videos back.

0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:07.199
<v Speaker 2>That's the probab Well, first of all, everyone has a

0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:09.000
<v Speaker 2>cell phone. Yeah, I mean, that's the thing I've noticed

0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:11.239
<v Speaker 2>that's different with the kids in college. Like I was

0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:14.240
<v Speaker 2>talking to Taylor about how where I went Miszoo. I

0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:16.320
<v Speaker 2>forget how many, but there was this list of things

0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:18.480
<v Speaker 2>you're supposed to do before you graduate, and one of them,

0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:21.600
<v Speaker 2>which I never did, was streak the quad. Yeah, you

0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:24.160
<v Speaker 2>could never do that. Today everybody has a cell phone.

0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:26.200
<v Speaker 2>Everybody'd be pulling it out. That video would live forever,

0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:27.840
<v Speaker 2>so kids and parents be aware.

0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:30.720
<v Speaker 1>But I'm standing next to one of the dads. ACDC

0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:32.960
<v Speaker 1>is blaring and I look over and he has one

0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:36.040
<v Speaker 1>of those little mini shot you know bottles, the plastic

0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:40.080
<v Speaker 1>bottles of fireball, and his daughter puts one in her

0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:42.320
<v Speaker 1>mouth and without using hands, you lift it up and

0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:44.640
<v Speaker 1>you take the shot. You down the whole bottle of fireball.

0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:46.359
<v Speaker 1>Dad does it right next to her.

0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:48.879
<v Speaker 3>And I'm like, man, I was kind of impressed by that.

0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:51.200
<v Speaker 1>I was impressed, but I'm like, that's gonna come back

0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:51.560
<v Speaker 1>to hunt.

0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:53.280
<v Speaker 3>Well, you just got to watch yourself.

0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:56.280
<v Speaker 2>I mean, because here, from what I've seen at these weekends,

0:17:56.440 --> 0:17:59.760
<v Speaker 2>here are the two pitfalls. The dads tend to drink

0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:02.840
<v Speaker 2>too much and they either pass out too early or

0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:06.119
<v Speaker 2>we're saying the problem people, or they throw up in

0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:07.440
<v Speaker 2>a parking lot and that's bad.

0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:11.720
<v Speaker 3>The moms tend to get a little too.

0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:14.639
<v Speaker 2>If you're the mom, you shouldn't be being You do

0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:16.359
<v Speaker 2>get on the bowl, or you.

0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:18.560
<v Speaker 3>Think it's fun to dance up on a table, or

0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:19.120
<v Speaker 3>you get a.

0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:21.920
<v Speaker 2>Little too flirty, and so you just got to watch

0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:24.840
<v Speaker 2>those two. You don't want to fall into those two buckets.

0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:29.199
<v Speaker 1>Just remember you're not Chris. You always need to be

0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:30.040
<v Speaker 1>mister Harrison.

0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:31.560
<v Speaker 3>Oh that's a good game.

0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:35.479
<v Speaker 1>That is your lesson. Always be the mister of you

0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:38.560
<v Speaker 1>are the dad, you are the mom. Just remember that

0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:40.760
<v Speaker 1>you are at that next level and you need to

0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:43.600
<v Speaker 1>be now. I did, even though they want to bring

0:18:43.640 --> 0:18:43.960
<v Speaker 1>you down.

0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:44.280
<v Speaker 2>Well.

0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:45.800
<v Speaker 3>The thing is, though, you have to watch the line

0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:47.400
<v Speaker 3>because the kids also want you to have fun.

0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:48.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh we a bit.

0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:49.960
<v Speaker 3>I think it's so fun.

0:18:50.200 --> 0:18:52.560
<v Speaker 2>If you play rage Cage with them, if you do

0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:55.720
<v Speaker 2>karaoke with them again, And it warms my heart because

0:18:55.760 --> 0:18:58.560
<v Speaker 2>I love seeing that they're happy. Like there's nothing that

0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:01.080
<v Speaker 2>makes me happier more than to see the kids say

0:19:01.160 --> 0:19:03.879
<v Speaker 2>hi to friends they've made and to know that they're happy.

0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:06.000
<v Speaker 2>I would rather and they do call us, but I

0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:08.080
<v Speaker 2>would rather not hear from them and know they're having

0:19:08.119 --> 0:19:10.119
<v Speaker 2>a great time than obviously them call and want to

0:19:10.160 --> 0:19:12.439
<v Speaker 2>come home and they're in such a great place. But

0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:17.080
<v Speaker 2>I did as much as they want you to have fun,

0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:19.160
<v Speaker 2>and they like make sure you're included in things.

0:19:19.680 --> 0:19:21.800
<v Speaker 3>We did have to adjust the music at the tailgate

0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:24.520
<v Speaker 3>because there's literally a DJ.

0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:27.560
<v Speaker 2>At this tailgate and the kid is playing I mean

0:19:27.640 --> 0:19:30.440
<v Speaker 2>music that I'm a millennial that I hadn't even heard.

0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:33.240
<v Speaker 2>I guess it's that new, but it was like unedited,

0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:37.760
<v Speaker 2>like someone's grandpa, Someone's Grandpa's there at Dad's weekend, and

0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:42.680
<v Speaker 2>the music is like swear words, swear word, inappropriate word,

0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:46.280
<v Speaker 2>like like all these things. And I pulled aside one

0:19:46.280 --> 0:19:49.280
<v Speaker 2>of the kids and I said, hey, this is Dad's weekend.

0:19:49.440 --> 0:19:51.840
<v Speaker 2>We got to crank the dad jams, get some eighties

0:19:51.920 --> 0:19:54.399
<v Speaker 2>music on for the dads. We need to adjust, we

0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:57.480
<v Speaker 2>need not so many expletives. And luckily one of them

0:19:57.520 --> 0:19:59.639
<v Speaker 2>went up there and threw on his eighties playlist and

0:19:59.680 --> 0:20:02.440
<v Speaker 2>before you know it, all the dads were rocking out

0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:04.240
<v Speaker 2>to Journey and it was so cute.

0:20:04.720 --> 0:20:06.520
<v Speaker 1>Then game day comes and we go to the game.

0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:09.560
<v Speaker 1>By the way, great game, so much fun. It was

0:20:09.600 --> 0:20:12.120
<v Speaker 1>packed a night game, as all college games should be.

0:20:12.280 --> 0:20:14.240
<v Speaker 3>The university let me stop.

0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:18.480
<v Speaker 1>The University of Texas finally beat TCU. Kudos to the

0:20:18.520 --> 0:20:21.439
<v Speaker 1>Longhorns for winning, but it did not dampen.

0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:24.000
<v Speaker 3>Did you just say the game was so much fun?

0:20:24.480 --> 0:20:27.560
<v Speaker 1>It was? I love you so okay, let's hash I

0:20:27.600 --> 0:20:32.120
<v Speaker 1>know you didn't love the full game, but you really

0:20:32.160 --> 0:20:34.720
<v Speaker 1>got into the spectacle. We got there like twenty minutes early.

0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:39.040
<v Speaker 1>We were walking down Frog Alley. It's packed, everybody's having

0:20:39.080 --> 0:20:42.239
<v Speaker 1>a cocktail. It's great, we're tailgating. Then you walked in

0:20:42.320 --> 0:20:45.359
<v Speaker 1>and they had the fireworks and the displays, and you

0:20:45.440 --> 0:20:46.760
<v Speaker 1>got into all the flyover.

0:20:46.840 --> 0:20:49.240
<v Speaker 2>All of that is fun. When it starts only being football,

0:20:49.240 --> 0:20:51.360
<v Speaker 2>it stops being fun. And the problem is that it's

0:20:51.400 --> 0:20:52.400
<v Speaker 2>four hours.

0:20:52.800 --> 0:20:53.640
<v Speaker 3>Let's hash this out.

0:20:53.720 --> 0:20:57.840
<v Speaker 2>I really think I think I might be done. I

0:20:57.880 --> 0:20:59.639
<v Speaker 2>don't want you to waste the money on the ticket

0:20:59.640 --> 0:21:02.159
<v Speaker 2>on me anymore. I'm going to come to the weekends

0:21:02.440 --> 0:21:05.560
<v Speaker 2>as or you have to be okay with me only

0:21:05.560 --> 0:21:05.960
<v Speaker 2>going to half.

0:21:06.200 --> 0:21:10.119
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know what, I realized, Taylor's the same, you

0:21:10.200 --> 0:21:13.240
<v Speaker 1>and Taylor, our daughter. She's the same. She does not

0:21:13.400 --> 0:21:15.359
<v Speaker 1>enjoy going to football games. She does not really go

0:21:15.400 --> 0:21:18.800
<v Speaker 1>to football games. She'll stay it for like half yeah,

0:21:18.840 --> 0:21:21.600
<v Speaker 1>no matter what, and just because her friends are there

0:21:22.080 --> 0:21:24.520
<v Speaker 1>and she knew I wanted to go so and all

0:21:24.520 --> 0:21:26.239
<v Speaker 1>the dads, so what the dads do? There was all

0:21:26.280 --> 0:21:29.919
<v Speaker 1>these day to dads. We all sat together. There's like

0:21:30.359 --> 0:21:32.520
<v Speaker 1>four or five of us and our kids, and we're

0:21:32.520 --> 0:21:34.560
<v Speaker 1>all together in the end zone. And it was a

0:21:34.600 --> 0:21:38.520
<v Speaker 1>perfect one of those perfect fall football nights. So that part,

0:21:38.560 --> 0:21:42.240
<v Speaker 1>to me, warms my heart. It was wonderful. I did

0:21:42.400 --> 0:21:46.200
<v Speaker 1>we did have one major issue. I don't want to

0:21:46.240 --> 0:21:48.000
<v Speaker 1>go too deep into this because it's been kind of

0:21:48.000 --> 0:21:50.680
<v Speaker 1>done before, but when I looked over and you had

0:21:50.680 --> 0:21:52.680
<v Speaker 1>a hot dog and you had ketchup on your hot dog,

0:21:52.760 --> 0:21:55.119
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, I'll just be honest. I don't understand it.

0:21:55.160 --> 0:21:55.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't get it.

0:21:55.800 --> 0:21:58.159
<v Speaker 3>This is so crazy. Why are you so fired up

0:21:58.160 --> 0:22:00.240
<v Speaker 3>about this? Are we going to get divorced? We've been

0:22:00.240 --> 0:22:00.639
<v Speaker 3>married a week.

0:22:00.680 --> 0:22:04.120
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna get on a hot dog? You know, someone

0:22:04.200 --> 0:22:08.200
<v Speaker 1>dm me and they go mayonnaise. I would have broken

0:22:08.280 --> 0:22:09.639
<v Speaker 1>up with you if I'd looked over and you were

0:22:09.680 --> 0:22:11.200
<v Speaker 1>like slashing on something.

0:22:11.200 --> 0:22:13.399
<v Speaker 2>And manly, we've been together five years and this just

0:22:13.440 --> 0:22:15.280
<v Speaker 2>came up. I guess it's because I don't go to

0:22:15.320 --> 0:22:17.640
<v Speaker 2>sporting events and get a hot dog very often. But

0:22:17.800 --> 0:22:20.520
<v Speaker 2>obviously when I'm at a sporting event. All that I

0:22:20.560 --> 0:22:23.760
<v Speaker 2>have to do activity wise is eat and snacks and drink.

0:22:23.800 --> 0:22:24.639
<v Speaker 3>There's nothing else to do.

0:22:24.720 --> 0:22:27.120
<v Speaker 2>So I got a hot dog and I come back

0:22:27.119 --> 0:22:29.320
<v Speaker 2>and I have I have only ketchup on the hot dog.

0:22:29.320 --> 0:22:30.760
<v Speaker 2>That's how I usually eat a hot dog. I just

0:22:30.760 --> 0:22:34.040
<v Speaker 2>throw some ketchup on there. Chris thinks it's offensive to

0:22:34.160 --> 0:22:37.400
<v Speaker 2>have ketchup on the hot dog at all. You say

0:22:37.400 --> 0:22:40.240
<v Speaker 2>it's only mustard and relish. I need you to realize

0:22:40.359 --> 0:22:43.200
<v Speaker 2>ketchup is an available condiment for people, so.

0:22:43.320 --> 0:22:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Obviously I think it's a test.

0:22:44.640 --> 0:22:45.119
<v Speaker 3>Ketchup on that.

0:22:45.359 --> 0:22:48.040
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a test. So someone actually texted me

0:22:48.080 --> 0:22:50.639
<v Speaker 1>and they said, like, how blessed is your life that

0:22:50.720 --> 0:22:52.600
<v Speaker 1>five and a half years into a relationship you're just

0:22:52.600 --> 0:22:55.240
<v Speaker 1>seeing your girlfriend eat a hot dog for the first time.

0:22:55.400 --> 0:22:57.360
<v Speaker 1>I got You're right, She's never eaten a hot dog

0:22:57.400 --> 0:22:58.800
<v Speaker 1>in front of me this entire time.

0:22:58.920 --> 0:23:02.040
<v Speaker 2>It's so exciting to keep learning new things about each other,

0:23:02.160 --> 0:23:03.159
<v Speaker 2>even now that we're married.

0:23:15.000 --> 0:23:17.679
<v Speaker 1>The next day, we got up and Taylor took us

0:23:17.720 --> 0:23:20.479
<v Speaker 1>on this beautiful walking tour of TCU because I've actually

0:23:20.520 --> 0:23:24.240
<v Speaker 1>never walked across the entire campus, and she showed us around.

0:23:24.240 --> 0:23:24.960
<v Speaker 1>That was really cool.

0:23:25.320 --> 0:23:26.120
<v Speaker 3>Alle treat to.

0:23:26.080 --> 0:23:29.120
<v Speaker 2>Have a son and a daughter both in college, because

0:23:29.119 --> 0:23:30.080
<v Speaker 2>you see the differences.

0:23:31.359 --> 0:23:32.240
<v Speaker 3>Josh is a senior.

0:23:32.359 --> 0:23:34.399
<v Speaker 2>Chris is saying, we've never had a walking tour because

0:23:34.680 --> 0:23:36.560
<v Speaker 2>I think boys just don't think this way. We go

0:23:36.600 --> 0:23:39.480
<v Speaker 2>to Josh's lacrosse games. Josh takes you out to bars.

0:23:39.480 --> 0:23:42.480
<v Speaker 2>It's super fun. Yeah, Josh never said.

0:23:42.480 --> 0:23:44.280
<v Speaker 3>You know what, let me give you, guys a tour

0:23:44.320 --> 0:23:46.560
<v Speaker 3>of campus. That's more a girl idea.

0:23:46.760 --> 0:23:48.480
<v Speaker 1>Let me send you pictures of what I'm doing.

0:23:48.600 --> 0:23:51.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh, we haven't gotten a photo from Josh in four years. Luckily,

0:23:51.680 --> 0:23:54.119
<v Speaker 2>Taylor and Josh are in school together because now through Taylor,

0:23:54.560 --> 0:23:56.280
<v Speaker 2>she sends us pictures of both of them.

0:23:56.440 --> 0:23:59.720
<v Speaker 1>But so for all the parents out there, your takeaway

0:23:59.760 --> 0:24:04.000
<v Speaker 1>from are amazing Dad's weekend slash parents Weekend is just,

0:24:04.119 --> 0:24:05.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, try and stay above the fray a little bit.

0:24:06.040 --> 0:24:08.720
<v Speaker 1>Enjoy it and be involved in the fray, but stay

0:24:08.720 --> 0:24:12.520
<v Speaker 1>above it just enough that you're not that dad puking

0:24:12.560 --> 0:24:14.480
<v Speaker 1>in the parking lot. You're not that mom on the

0:24:14.520 --> 0:24:16.320
<v Speaker 1>mechanical bawl or dancing on the table.

0:24:17.240 --> 0:24:19.280
<v Speaker 2>Can I ask you a question, because I actually had

0:24:19.280 --> 0:24:22.439
<v Speaker 2>a couple of people DM me about this. Do you

0:24:22.640 --> 0:24:26.600
<v Speaker 2>think you can hang? People were asking me because I

0:24:26.640 --> 0:24:30.080
<v Speaker 2>posted some dad's weekend stuff, how is Chris Harrison doing

0:24:30.080 --> 0:24:30.760
<v Speaker 2>on these weekends?

0:24:30.760 --> 0:24:32.760
<v Speaker 3>Can he hang? Can he? Like? How do you do?

0:24:35.320 --> 0:24:38.640
<v Speaker 1>I'll be honest, I'll give myself a B B plus,

0:24:39.359 --> 0:24:43.920
<v Speaker 1>like I'm pretty good at going late, I can stay

0:24:44.000 --> 0:24:49.240
<v Speaker 1>up whatever, But I'm not. I'm just it's the continuous

0:24:49.280 --> 0:24:53.560
<v Speaker 1>like Friday was a long, long day, long night. Then

0:24:53.680 --> 0:24:54.480
<v Speaker 1>it was the next day.

0:24:54.520 --> 0:24:56.879
<v Speaker 2>They also got no sleep because the house next to

0:24:56.920 --> 0:24:59.760
<v Speaker 2>our airbnb had a raging house party till four thirty

0:24:59.760 --> 0:25:00.000
<v Speaker 2>in the more.

0:25:00.280 --> 0:25:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Someone was dropping the bass at a fraternity party right

0:25:03.160 --> 0:25:06.080
<v Speaker 1>outside our bedroom till four thirty in the morning.

0:25:06.119 --> 0:25:07.240
<v Speaker 3>Should we have called the cops?

0:25:07.440 --> 0:25:09.840
<v Speaker 1>You and I both had the same thought, was do

0:25:09.920 --> 0:25:13.560
<v Speaker 1>you are you the person that calls the cops? I'm not.

0:25:13.800 --> 0:25:15.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't ever want to be that person.

0:25:15.600 --> 0:25:17.080
<v Speaker 3>But I didn't want to run their fun. But I

0:25:17.119 --> 0:25:18.560
<v Speaker 3>don't want someone to go into the jail.

0:25:18.920 --> 0:25:21.800
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, that sucked. And then the next day got up,

0:25:22.040 --> 0:25:24.240
<v Speaker 1>did our thing, went to lunch with all the they

0:25:24.280 --> 0:25:25.000
<v Speaker 1>to day all right.

0:25:24.920 --> 0:25:26.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to give you an an well thanks.

0:25:27.000 --> 0:25:30.119
<v Speaker 2>I totally think you can hang babe, I look, we

0:25:30.160 --> 0:25:33.120
<v Speaker 2>did all the things. We went out, we did the karaoke,

0:25:33.280 --> 0:25:34.399
<v Speaker 2>we went to a couple of bars.

0:25:34.760 --> 0:25:36.880
<v Speaker 3>You also are so.

0:25:36.920 --> 0:25:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Amazing at and I meant you guys, everybody who comes

0:25:42.080 --> 0:25:44.280
<v Speaker 2>up to him for a photo he takes. I've said

0:25:44.280 --> 0:25:46.399
<v Speaker 2>this about him before, but he takes the time. You

0:25:46.440 --> 0:25:49.000
<v Speaker 2>have a nice conversation with everybody, So I know that

0:25:49.080 --> 0:25:52.920
<v Speaker 2>on weekends like that, you are leaving exhausted because you're

0:25:53.040 --> 0:25:55.480
<v Speaker 2>hanging with your kids, your friends, and even random Pea.

0:25:55.400 --> 0:25:58.679
<v Speaker 1>Even took pictures with some ut fans. Obviously I was

0:25:58.680 --> 0:26:01.320
<v Speaker 1>in purple. But but what happened.

0:26:01.160 --> 0:26:02.399
<v Speaker 3>Love, and it is.

0:26:03.760 --> 0:26:05.800
<v Speaker 2>One of the many reasons I fell in love with

0:26:05.880 --> 0:26:09.560
<v Speaker 2>you is watching how you are with the kids. You

0:26:09.640 --> 0:26:13.840
<v Speaker 2>just prioritize them at the highest degree and exhaust yourself

0:26:14.359 --> 0:26:18.000
<v Speaker 2>to the point of, like I mean, you want them

0:26:18.080 --> 0:26:19.800
<v Speaker 2>even on a weekend that's supposed to be about you

0:26:19.960 --> 0:26:22.159
<v Speaker 2>Dad's weekend. What you want is for them to have

0:26:22.160 --> 0:26:24.160
<v Speaker 2>a great time. And you're such an incredible.

0:26:23.720 --> 0:26:27.959
<v Speaker 1>Follow well, very proud of Taylor, our girl, like really

0:26:28.000 --> 0:26:29.960
<v Speaker 1>wanted to make it a special weekend. She did. She

0:26:30.040 --> 0:26:32.720
<v Speaker 1>planned it to the nth degree and made us feel loved.

0:26:33.080 --> 0:26:35.840
<v Speaker 1>And then I give you kudos because as if going

0:26:35.880 --> 0:26:38.280
<v Speaker 1>to a football game wasn't enough, on the way out

0:26:38.280 --> 0:26:42.800
<v Speaker 1>of town, Joshua, our son was having an alumni lacrosse game,

0:26:42.840 --> 0:26:44.760
<v Speaker 1>and we swung by that just for a little bit.

0:26:44.760 --> 0:26:46.600
<v Speaker 1>We didn't stay for the whole thing. Wanted to show

0:26:46.640 --> 0:26:48.600
<v Speaker 1>our presence and give them a hug and say goodbye.

0:26:49.240 --> 0:26:51.680
<v Speaker 1>And we saw all the la crossboys. So just one

0:26:51.720 --> 0:26:53.880
<v Speaker 1>more kick in the pants for Lauren on the way

0:26:53.880 --> 0:26:56.520
<v Speaker 1>out of town to stop buy a sporting event. But

0:26:56.920 --> 0:27:00.480
<v Speaker 1>so a great dad's weekend, parents' weekend. Good to have

0:27:00.600 --> 0:27:02.040
<v Speaker 1>it really was good to have you there, be there

0:27:02.040 --> 0:27:04.920
<v Speaker 1>with all our friends. Obviously see our kids. The best

0:27:04.920 --> 0:27:07.120
<v Speaker 1>thing about this, and I said this on social media,

0:27:07.359 --> 0:27:10.520
<v Speaker 1>it's going and seeing your kids on their path, the

0:27:10.560 --> 0:27:13.840
<v Speaker 1>path that they've created, the bonds that they have forged,

0:27:13.880 --> 0:27:16.679
<v Speaker 1>the friends. You just see them living their life and

0:27:16.720 --> 0:27:19.520
<v Speaker 1>making their life on a different level than junior high

0:27:19.600 --> 0:27:22.280
<v Speaker 1>high school in all that they are becoming adults and

0:27:22.320 --> 0:27:25.320
<v Speaker 1>they're really kind of expressing their independence and all that.

0:27:25.359 --> 0:27:27.960
<v Speaker 1>And when you can celebrate that, that's always a beautiful,

0:27:28.000 --> 0:27:30.440
<v Speaker 1>beautiful time, and you're doing it on their turf, which

0:27:30.480 --> 0:27:35.399
<v Speaker 1>is always important. So thank you to the beautiful kids,

0:27:35.880 --> 0:27:38.120

0:27:38.119 --> 0:27:40.840
