But you didn't know by now, 0:00:18.800 --> 0:00:22.239 my name is Chad In every single week I'm joined 0:00:22.239 --> 0:00:24.000 here by the host of the show. She's the one 0:00:24.040 --> 0:00:25.880 you came to see. I might as well just leave. Look, 0:00:25.880 --> 0:00:27.760 I'm gonna take myself out of the cook I'm done. 0:00:27.800 --> 0:00:29.280 I can talk to them. I talk to myself all 0:00:29.320 --> 0:00:33.080 the time. It's fine. It's the Queen of extreme freancy. Hello, Hello, 0:00:33.360 --> 0:00:36.279 how are you today, my friend? Well, I'm doing okay. Now, 0:00:36.440 --> 0:00:39.080 getting to talk to you as a definite good break 0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:41.479 for the day. But you know, a lot of stuff 0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:44.879 going on, and it's pretty crazy, pretty hectic. All right, 0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:47.480 I'm gonna I'm gonna pretend i'm your therapist. You're laying 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:51.919 on the couch right now. Okay, Okay, what is going on? 0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:55.160 What do you need to get off your chest? I 0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:58.319 think I may have bit off a little more than 0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:03.040 I can chew this week. Okay, okay, So I'm feeling 0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:05.640 like you have big plans this weekend and you're not 0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:09.520 prepared for them. I am not. It all starts and 0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:13.400 stops with the fact that I committed to be the 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:18.920 head softball coach of two one two teams T ball 0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:24.160 and ten and under. Okay, the week of our Disney trip, 0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:27.640 which technically I'm on as we speak. I'm in Epcot 0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:33.160 as we speak on Monday, but like, holy crap, when 0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:37.120 you talk about preparation, you're sitting there meticulously getting stuff on, 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:39.959 packing two weeks in advance. I'm like, oh, she's crazy 0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:44.319 doing that. I got nothing. Okay, let me stop you. 0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:48.680 I packed the day before and the morning off, and 0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:51.840 we had to catch a plane. We weren't driving. At 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:55.680 least you're driving, and if you're running late, it's okay 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:58.440 because you're driving. If I was running late, I gat 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:02.960 my flight. Yeah, think about that. I will. That's yes, 0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:05.440 that's terrible. But now I have this time frame. I 0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:08.880 want to get everything done because what I realize is 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:12.320 I'm traveling on my anniversary, which is very nice, our 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:16.800 wedding anniversary, and because of the softball games on Saturday, 0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:21.600 had to switch my plans up completely. Was originally driving 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:24.280 to my uncle's house shout out if he's listening to 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:28.280 this on his way to Epcott in Tallahassee and then 0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:31.839 drive across to Orlando, just like we did the last time. Well, 0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:35.680 these two softball games have completely took over my life 0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:39.840 and our right smack at the beginning and the end 0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:43.240 of the softball schedule for Saturday. So it's going to 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:46.240 be a rat freaking race from sun up to sundown 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:49.600 Saturday and then leaving at least seven o'clock on Sunday 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:52.720 to get to Jacksonville, Florida by like five o'clock. So 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:55.079 do you have, like you have the first game which 0:02:55.080 --> 0:03:00.000 starts at what time? The first game is at ten o'clock. 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:02.240 I gotta be there at nine thirty. Okay, so nine 0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:05.440 thirty you're there. Then you have a break, right because 0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:08.280 you're the last wall break small brand. What time do 0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:11.560 you wait there? Well, it's I guess we would have. Well, 0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:14.040 we'll probably maybe get lunch, right, because that's the only 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:15.720 thing you can do in between. Then the second game 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:18.520 starts at two and you have to be there at 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:21.280 one thirty, So I really only have about a two 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:24.280 hour window between the two that I guess maybe we 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:27.080 could run to Walmart grab some snacks, grab some stuff 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:29.520 for the road, crap like that. But I won't be 0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:34.280 done then until like fourish, when we get home and 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:36.720 the kids, you know, have dinner and we settle down, 0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:38.960 and maybe we're looking in the sixth even so I'm 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:41.040 gonna what am I pulling it all night? Or I 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:43.480 still got other shit I gotta do? Okay, So for today, 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:47.400 Now people know we tape on a Friday, obviously, do 0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:50.320 you have time later in the day to start throwing 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:55.440 stuff in a bag? Tonight Friday night, I have on 0:03:55.480 --> 0:04:01.280 the schedule podcasting of editing, putting stuff together, getting stuff up, 0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:05.760 getting things ready, which is, well, she'll do that too, 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:07.000 but I gotta you know, I gotta do my part. 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:08.880 I'm not gonna let her do the whole thing. I'm 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:10.400 gonna do. We gotta do it as a team. I 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:12.080 gotta get the bags. I had to get it my crap. 0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:14.320 I gotta get all the coolers. I did all that stuff. 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:18.719 But well, I'm just talking about from the me perspective. 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:22.960 I have I regular work, I have the real work. 0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:26.560 I have all the podcasts. I gotta get posted something. 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:31.120 Now what you knew this was gonna happen? You knew 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:33.719 your schedule. You knew what you had to do. Why 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:37.359 did you procrastinate this way? Are you better under pressure? 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:40.320 Once a fire is lit under your ass? Are you 0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:42.479 gonna just run around and get it all done within 0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:45.400 an hour? That's a good question, and I don't know 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:49.080 if I have that answered. But okay, I I like 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:51.640 to Uh. I like to perform under the gun.

You know, we'll do that one 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:05.800 later on. Okay, are you feeling stressed for me a 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:08.920 little bit? But I think you're gonna get it done. 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:13.000 I do. I think you're gonna get it done. I 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:15.960 didn't even shave. Look, I didn't shave. You're looking a 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:19.680 bit scruffy. I usually like I like to etch it 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:21.679 out and make it nice and clean when we're recording. 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:26.120 I didn't have time for any of that. Yeah, I 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:29.000 he knows something I forgot to ask you. On a 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:32.359 good note, this won't stress you out at all.

Uh long, long story short, 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:17.120 two weeks worth of phone calls and complaints back and forth. 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:20.560 I just got a text message from a district manager 0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:24.080 that my deck set, that I bought my outdoor set 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:28.680 from my deck the whole thing was refunded. So my 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:31.200 deck is brought to you buy Big Lots. So you 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:33.760 got it for free, got the whole deck set for free. 0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:36.840 So why did you complain in the first place? Oh, 0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:41.400 they were brutal, brutal, brutal brutals. So the deck set, 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:43.680 right or outdoors? I keep saying deck set. It's an 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:48.640 outdoor set. Yeah, purchased it online with the intent of 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:51.720 it being delivered to my home.

So I called the store. Hey, 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:13.760 how you doing talk to Paul? He said this, who's Paul? 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:17.199 I go the district manager. Oh, we don't have a 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:21.520 district manager named Paul. I know what, well, I go 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:26.040 That call I got was pretty specific, so you know 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:27.520 we're gonna have to do something.

So we went from one pall to 0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:45.520 know Paul to two Paul's. But Paul just went out 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:49.520 on disability, which Paul I don't know.

Is 0:20:21.000 --> 0:20:25.520 your brother whom or is he working? He's off today, 0:20:25.640 --> 0:20:30.920 so he's home.

So you said you have an interesting 0:20:37.920 --> 0:20:43.679 story that you want to share with us, Well, I 0:20:43.760 --> 0:20:47.359 just thought I would basically tell you about my life 0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:50.320 and then when we could go from there, or if 0:20:50.320 --> 0:20:54.200 you guys want to answer me, ask me question. Oh, 0:20:54.400 --> 0:20:57.720 it's you you No matter the answer, we want to 0:20:57.760 --> 0:21:03.840 hear the story. Wow. Oh, let's see. Well. But I 0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:09.040 told Francine the Other nine or Chad, I was born 0:21:09.240 --> 0:21:13.199 on June the twentieth of sixty eight. But but the 0:21:13.280 --> 0:21:17.320 doctors told my parents that that they could barely hit 0:21:17.400 --> 0:21:22.880 my heart be okay. My mom's umbilical cord was tightly 0:21:22.920 --> 0:21:28.080 wrapped around my neck like three times, twisted tightly, and 0:21:28.080 --> 0:21:31.640 and when the doctors decided to finally take me at 0:21:31.680 --> 0:21:35.480 four point thirty in the morning, I told my parents 0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:38.399 it was now or never, because when they decided to 0:21:38.520 --> 0:21:43.439 do it, I could barely hear my hearty peeze, I 0:21:43.440 --> 0:21:46.720 couldn't even imagine. So you you were you were telling 0:21:46.760 --> 0:21:50.199 me like as a child, you were able to walk 0:21:50.560 --> 0:21:56.520 with a walker. Uh yeah, finally with the walker embraces yes, 0:21:56.920 --> 0:22:01.200 the walker. Okay, we was on the front and then 0:22:01.880 --> 0:22:05.280 rubber tips on the back and you would just stand 0:22:05.359 --> 0:22:09.119 behind him pushing in, you know, because do one foot 0:22:09.200 --> 0:22:17.000 one foot and so forth. That's right. Now, I basically 0:22:17.040 --> 0:22:22.480 can't do nothing, Kandi. My brother's help basically for almost everything. 0:22:22.880 --> 0:22:25.560 Like I can feed myself and so forth. I can 0:22:25.600 --> 0:22:29.920 bunch my teeth and do little stuff, but as far 0:22:29.960 --> 0:22:32.960 as getting out of bed, that's still that's the one 0:22:33.040 --> 0:22:36.199 thing I missed. I used to be able to, like 0:22:36.280 --> 0:22:38.560 if I had to go to the bathroom or if 0:22:38.560 --> 0:22:40.960 I wanted to get up, and I used to go 0:22:41.080 --> 0:22:44.120 to sick guy to the police and a police garage 0:22:44.200 --> 0:22:47.719 in Pennsylvania while living in Pennsylvania, and he would make 0:22:47.840 --> 0:22:51.560 modifications on my world here, whether if I need it 0:22:51.680 --> 0:22:55.399 or just what if I wanted done becoming. He was 0:22:55.480 --> 0:22:58.159 very smart and he can do it all. So I 0:22:58.200 --> 0:23:00.959 would get up early in the morning and jump in 0:23:00.960 --> 0:23:03.400 my chair and we go out there and wouldn't even 0:23:03.440 --> 0:23:06.600 bother my mom. Way up, I would laid out of 0:23:06.640 --> 0:23:11.000 my garage bedroom and I would just wheel there. But 0:23:11.000 --> 0:23:13.040 but now I can't get out of bed at all. 0:23:13.920 --> 0:23:16.760 The guy to get in on my brother or whoever. 0:23:17.280 --> 0:23:22.800 The kaid roller can't do nothing. So when you were 0:23:22.800 --> 0:23:24.560 a kid, I'm going back to when you were little 0:23:25.359 --> 0:23:28.400 and you were able to use like a walker and 0:23:28.440 --> 0:23:31.199 you had the braces. Is it just because like with 0:23:31.359 --> 0:23:38.760 time passing, you just like your your muscles just got weaker. Yeah, yes, exactly, 0:23:38.960 --> 0:23:41.960 that's where it was. And like you know, speaking of 0:23:42.040 --> 0:23:46.560 my weak muscles, like one morning before I knew like 0:23:46.640 --> 0:23:50.280 what was going on, right kile covering myself from the bed, 0:23:50.720 --> 0:23:53.400 and I got my and I got myself to see 0:23:53.480 --> 0:23:57.000
