I'm so used to this. 36 00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: We don't have a beach in Arkansas. It's a lay. 37 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: It's a very small way. Was a little bit of 38 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: an upgrade, Yes it is. It is. Um, Yeah, I'm 39 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: just so used to the beach now. But we were 40 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,639 Speaker 1: at the lake and his family was there, my family 41 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,079 Speaker 1: was there, and we it was kind of the first 42 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 1: time we had been around each other where we weren't 43 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: dating other people, and so, um, I just remember like 44 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: I just couldn't stop staring at him, and his little 45 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: brothers were like, oh my gosh, like this girl is 46 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: like obviously staring at you.

And then the next day, 49 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: like I thought maybe he'd get my number from my cousin, 50 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: and he didn't, so I got his number from my cousin, 51 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 1: and so I remember I texted him. I was like, 52 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: can you send me like a picture a video that 53 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: you took yesterday while we're on the lake, And oh wow, 54 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: I did it was I definitely like slid into it, 55 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 1: not as dams, but his texts um and so I 56 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: texted him that day and then literally every day since 57 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: then he just like texted me just kind of kept 58 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: it going. Um. But then I got into college and 59 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: I told him I didn't want a boyfriend. I kind 60 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: of wanted to explore all avenues. I hate saying that, 61 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: but I was like, I don't want to. I just 62 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 1: got out of a long term relationship. So I was like, I'm, 63 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: you know, not looking for a boyfriend. But he snatched 64 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: me up and we got engaged like three years later 65 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: and then now we're we've been married for a two 66 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: and a half so that's good. So he ended up 67 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: going to the same college as you though. Yeah, so 68 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,639 Speaker 1: we both went to Arkansas.

I wasn't really sure how it was 130 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 1: going to work. And I quickly found out that moving 131 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 1: out of state that here in California especially, they require 132 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: you to have two years of experience as a nurse 133 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 1: to be hired. Really yeah, but I was coming out 134 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: of nursing school and so I didn't have any experience 135 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: prior to getting a job. I had internships, but so 136 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: I was really difficult to get a job. I finally 137 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: got one though, in November of that year, and so 138 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 1: I had a couple months to like settle in and 139 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: enjoy exploring California and all that exactly. Oh my gosh, 140 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: I'm sure Like when I first moved to California, I 141 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: was like, I kind of don't want to start working 142 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: right away because I want to like treat it as 143 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: a vacation and then kind of ease into the work life. 144 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: Because but then I was like so many months in 145 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: and I was like, Okay, if I don't get a 146 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: job now, I don't know if I'll ever work because 147 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: I'm just like living the California life, you know, the 148 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: California dream. Like Hunter, you married a beat, Like I apologize. 149 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: I have this nursing degree and I don't know what 150 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: to do and I don't want to use it. Yep, 151 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 1: I know, but it's crazy because so many people think that, 152 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: and I fell significant others don't have jobs or like 153 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: they make so much money. Why would you ever go 154 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: and get a job? So obviously, I mean, you're such 155 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: a hard worker, and like you have a nursing job 156 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: and you now have a side hustle arbon and like 157 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: I've seen how hard you're working, so elaborate a little 158 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: bit on that. It's like why, I mean, I know 159 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: why you have a job, but kind of elaborate on that. Yeah, 160 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: So I mean, I I think we also just kind 161 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: of like live in a culture where we were raised, 162 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: where you get a nine to five and you go 163 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: to work, you get your college education, and you get 164 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: a job and you just work, you know, until you're 165 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: six to five and you retire. And I think for me, 166 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: I've always been super independent and I've always wanted It's 167 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: just a pride thing for me. I think I've always 168 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,119 Speaker 1: wanted people to know like I can get a job 169 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: because of myself and my hard work, not because the 170 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: hunter's name and I know you feel the same about 171 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 1: Isaac's name, and so I think for me, it's just 172 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 1: always being felt like I needed to just prove in 173 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: a way that you know, I'm hard working and I've 174 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,079 Speaker 1: can you know, get a job and so. But also 175 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: on the flip side of that, I'm super type A. 176 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: I have to have something to do. I would go 177 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 1: crazy if I didn't work, Like I have to be 178 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: constantly like on the going busy. So that's one of 179 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,559 Speaker 1: the reasons why I have to be working. Yeah, and 180 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,199 Speaker 1: we briefly touched on this like over DMS, but you're 181 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,559 Speaker 1: an Ineagram type three, which is like an achiever. Achiever 182 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: that's Isaac, And so I know, like Isaac will get 183 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 1: home from football and be working on his side business 184 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 1: and then he'll be like dming people about nonprofits and 185 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 1: I'm like, are you not tired? Yeah, just take a 186 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 1: mental break. That's what Hunter always tells me. I'm like, 187 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: I can't, Like my brain is just always going. Like 188 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: We'll be sitting on the couch watching TV and I'll 189 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: like step out to our balcony and just start sweeping it, 190 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 1: or I'll do something random just because I can't like 191 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: sit still, like I'm surprised I'm still sitting here right now. Honestly, 192 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: You're like, can we just be moving around while we 193 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: do this podcast? That's so crazy. But I mean it's 194 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 1: surprising though, because so many people think that just dating 195 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,959 Speaker 1: or being with an NFL player, like you just get 196 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 1: to quit your job and move wherever. And I know 197 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: some people have it a lot more difficult where their 198 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,439 Speaker 1: husband or significant other is moving from team to team, 199 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: So like, totally understand that, but I just don't know 200 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 1: what I would do all day. I know, I know 201 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: it definitely. It definitely makes the time go buy quicker 202 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: when you're busy and have something to do. And I 203 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 1: think a big thing for us is, you know, when 204 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: Hunter and I got married, I was like, I'm gonna 205 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 1: have my nursing job and that's gonna be great. And 206 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: I love Hunter so much and I just want to 207 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,839 Speaker 1: watch him chase his dreams and you know, reach all 208 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 1: the goals that he's ever wanted to. And when I 209 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 1: moved out here, I kind of realized I had pushed 210 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: like my dreams and my goals kind of the side 211 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: because I just love him so much. You want to succeed, 212 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,839 Speaker 1: You want to see your significant others succeed and then 213 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 1: I realized, like we, you know, we both have dreams 214 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: and goals, and like why not both pursue him, you know, 215 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: and so um, like with Urban That's why I've loved 216 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: getting to work for that health and well in this 217 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: company because I've kind of gotten to because I'm so 218 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: goal oriented, you know, just kind of do that alongside 219 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 1: my nursing job. Yeah. So jumping into you and I have, well, 220 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: so have you lived here four years? No, I've lived 221 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: here two and a half, okay, because yeah, just while 222 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,719 Speaker 1: we've been married. But Hunter was so right at the 223 00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,559 Speaker 1: same time that I moved to California, I've been we 224 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,679 Speaker 1: haven't let they were in County the whole time. But yeah, 225 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: I think we moved here literally the same amount of time. Oh, 226 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: that's crazy. So, and Isaac was drafted a year before Hunter, 227 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: but Hunter signed a franchise tag this year. Yeah, so 228 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,199 Speaker 1: that means he is staying here for the rest of 229 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 1: the season and then Isaac and Hunter will both be 230 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 1: up for new contracts next year, which is very I 231 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: feel like it's a little bit like, I don't know, 232 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: uncharted territory. Is that what it's called. Yes, for sure, 233 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: and so what do you do? I know you when 234 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,559 Speaker 1: you guys were I mean over the summer, you guys 235 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: were discussing like buying a house and then you guys 236 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: were like, I don't know, I think we're gonna wait, 237 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: So why do you so what's your plan for? Or 238 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:44,319 Speaker 1: I guess the January February super Bowl. The thing is 239 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,319 Speaker 1: like people, I feel like people are always like, okay, 240 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: like what's your next step? And as you'll come to 241 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 1: find out, when you get married, people are like when 242 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: are you gonna have babies? And when you have babies, 243 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: it's like when are you gonna have another? You know, 244 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: it's just like what's the next thing. And with you know, 245 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 1: a contract that's coming to the end, you don't know 246 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 1: the next thing. And that's like I was saying about 247 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: me being a type a person. I'm always planning ahead. 248 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 1: And so it's really taught me having Hunter being in 249 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 1: the NFL, it's really taught me that you just have 250 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: to kind of go with the flow because literally you 251 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: could get traded at any moment. You don't know what's 252 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 1: going to happen when your contracts up, Like knowing that 253 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: you could be saying or could be moving, Like if 254 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 1: you think about it for too long, it kind of 255 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: like freaks you out a little bit, especially when you've 256 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: made like good friendships on the team with other girls 257 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 1: like we have, and so I try not to think 258 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: about it too much. Yeah, because I love it here 259 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: and I want to say, and I want to buy 260 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: a house here. Yeah, I know. That's kind of been 261 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: the topic in our apartment lately, like okay, like we 262 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 1: want another dog and he's like, well, we can't get 263 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: another dog in our apartment. But I'm like, okay, well 264 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,319 Speaker 1: when are we going to move out? And he's like, well, 265 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 1: we'll probably buy a home, but I don't know if 266 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: we're going to buy one here or if we're going 267 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: to go to another team. And it's the same thing, 268 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 1: like I think I've grown so used to living in 269 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 1: California that it would bum me out to move obviously, 270 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: say like Isaai just wants to follow his dream as 271 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: long as he can, and so I, of course, like 272 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: in the future, would be his wife, which is crazy 273 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: for me to think about still, but it's I mean, 274 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: it's so crazy that you don't really get to choose 275 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: where you live and you don't know how long you're 276 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: going to live there, and you could buy a house 277 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: one day and then the next day they're like, actually 278 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: you're cut. Yeah, and you could even be like seven 279 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: years into the NFL and still get cut. And I don't. 280 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't know that going into the NFL. 281 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: I thought like, once you got drafted, you were there 282 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: for four years, and exactly, there's so much I've learned 283 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 1: and I'm still learning that. It's just like I didn't 284 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 1: know my brain had this much capacity to learn about 285 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 1: freaking NFL. Right, yeah, everything. And like last year, I 286 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,679 Speaker 1: because Isaac he got drafted and then he was on 287 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,319 Speaker 1: the fifty three man roster for the first game of 288 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 1: his NFL career and then he got put down to 289 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: practice squad, which boided his four year contract, and I'm like, okay, 290 00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: where are we going with this? And then they had 291 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: twenty four hours for another team to pick him up, 292 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 1: and I was like, okay, twenty four hours. Like it's 293 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 1: so much and I didn't know that there was that 294 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: much into it. Yes, absolutely, And I feel like y'all 295 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: story especially is really cool because I feel like in 296 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 1: his situation, especially, like it helps so much when you 297 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: have a family member or a significant other, like you 298 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: to be so supportive because that's a lot, Like for 299 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: twenty four hours, that's a lot to handle physically, emotionally, mentally, 300 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: like those guys go through a lot. And I mean 301 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: Isaac being an achiever, he not knowing if he was 302 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: going to be with the Chargers or even playing football 303 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: made him so nervous. Like the first year in the NFL, 304 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 1: he went and got an internship because he was so 305 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 1: stressed out and like needed to put his energy towards something. 306 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Isaac and I are going to have 307 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: to talk about it as being Inneagram threes because I'm 308 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: loving this. I know I'm an Inneagram two. So I'm 309 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 1: just like I just want love. That's what I care about. 310 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: But he is just like a go go go type 311 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: of person. And I know, like the first year in 312 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: the NFL, there's so many unexpected things, especially like the 313 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,359 Speaker 1: later you get drafted, it's a little bit more unexpected. 314 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: I mean, anything can still happen. But I mean he 315 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: didn't want me moving out here. He was like, I 316 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: don't know how long I'm going to be out here. 317 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: And so when I moved out here, I was like, Okay, 318 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: we're just gonna live in separate cities. We'll see each other, 319 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: we'll be less long distance but kind of still long distance, 320 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: and just kind of live our own lives but slowly 321 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: work towards one and look at y'all now, I know, 322 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: look at you now. And we actually just close on 323 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: a home excited, so we're gonna get the keys in October. 324 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: And we chose Arizona as a little home base so fun, 325 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 1: which is so random because I mean, my brother lives there, 326 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: but we just want a place, good weather, somewhere to 327 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 1: call home. I mean, it's still easy for us to 328 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: travel there, like offseason. We'll probably spend all of our 329 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: time there because rent is so expensive here, so we'll 330 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: wait out for another contract there. But what do you 331 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 1: guys think your plan is going to be once the 332 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: season's over. I think we'll probably just stay put until 333 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 1: I mean we're running month to month just because I mean, 334 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: we did look at houses at the beginning of this 335 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 1: year before I got his contract, but we were like, okay, 336 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: to buy a house, like we want to live here 337 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 1: along Like we were like, okay, we don't have family yet, 338 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 1: we'd love to buy a house here, but just with 339 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: one a one year deal. We were kind of hesitant, 340 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: and especially you know, when COVID happened, that all kind 341 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: of changed too. But so we're running month to month 342 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: and I think, I mean, I want to stay out 343 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: here in the off season. I'm like, unto, we have 344 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 1: to leave, Like you will have to drag me out 345 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: of California if we leave. Yeah, I was trying to convince. 346 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 1: I wasa like, it could just be an investment property 347 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 1: if we end up leaving. Yeah, trying to do an airbnb, 348 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 1: you know exactly. I mean, I don't know. I don't 349 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 1: think he's buying it yet though, so well, I mean 350 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 1: we'll have to see. But I don't want to leave 351 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: California either. It's just I know, it's too good to 352 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: be true. You wake up and you have palm trees 353 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: outside the ocean, it's too good. I mean going to 354 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 1: the beach to like celebrate camp being over, Like, yes, 355 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 1: you can only do the best things. Yeah, I mean 356 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 1: being from Michigan. So do you think you guys will 357 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,640 Speaker 1: buy a home in Arkansas, like for a long term 358 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,119 Speaker 1: home or do you guys see yourself living somewhere else? 359 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: Good question? And if my mom and my mom are 360 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 1: in law are listening to this. They would want me 361 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: to answer that we are going to buy a house 362 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,880 Speaker 1: in Arkansas long term, but I just don't know. It's 363 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: it's too hard to say. I think I think we'll 364 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: definitely end up back in the South and close to family, 365 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: because that, for us is really important and being out 366 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 1: here like that is one thing that we miss a 367 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 1: whole lot, our family all being back in Arkansas. So 368 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 1: I think we'll definitely move back to the South. Don't 369 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 1: know where, but yeah, maybe a little bit closer for 370 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 1: the grand maybe somewhere with no state tax. Yeah, you know, 371 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: that would always be a huge plus. I know, if 372 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: California could just get rid of the state tax. Yeah. 373 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 1: I mean, if anybody's listening that can help us make 374 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 1: that happen, please let us know. I remember first paycheck here. 375 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: I was like devastate. Where did it all go? Yeah? Yeah, 376 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: but so Corona. Yes, So obviously we as a world 377 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 1: have all been hit by this pandemic. And it's interesting 378 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: because you're a nurse. So you're working in a hospital, 379 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,639 Speaker 1: so you're a labor and delivery nurse. Correct, Yeah, so 380 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 1: you work in a hospital and you don't I swear 381 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 1: the taxes and the bugs out here, the big beatles, 382 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 1: I swear if that thing hits me. Okay, So being 383 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,399 Speaker 1: a nurse, you and Hunter obviously might have had a 384 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: little bit different of a quarantine than say, Isaac and 385 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: I did, because I had a few months off of 386 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,360 Speaker 1: work and you guys, I'm sure had a few months 387 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 1: that were a little bit stressful. Yeah. So it's weird 388 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:46,439 Speaker 1: because I feel like in most relationships and most people, 389 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: you say, you know, well have you been doing since 390 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 1: the pandemic, and they're like, well, either lost my job 391 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 1: or I moved home to work from home. And for 392 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: Hunter and I, everything just kind of stayed normal because 393 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 1: as obviously being in urse, I couldn't just you know, 394 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 1: work from home. I still had patience to take care of. 395 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: And so we honestly, let's see, in February, we went 396 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 1: to Israel and we literally like came back and like 397 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: on the news the next day it was like quarantine. 398 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 1: That's exactly what happened for us. We came back from 399 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 1: the NFLPA conference and on the plane that was when 400 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,119 Speaker 1: the NBA Games got canceled, and it went from like 401 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 1: we took off out of Miami and landed in California 402 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:33,679 Speaker 1: and people were like wearing masks, and I was like, 403 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: what is going on? It was like night and day difference. Yeah, 404 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 1: so you guys get back from Israel and then in 405 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,640 Speaker 1: complete panic. But but at that point, you know, it's 406 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 1: a boy's off season. I mean, if anything changed for Hunter, 407 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 1: it was that gyms were closed. So our garage turned 408 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:52,199 Speaker 1: into a very messy gym. I mean, I mean, I 409 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: was like, we gotta organize this somehow because there's just 410 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 1: random stuff everywhere, and I'm like, this is not functional, 411 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 1: you know. So yeah, so the NFL send them all equipment, 412 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: which is really, did you guys have it a gym 413 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 1: before Corona? Like a jump rope? So not really three 414 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 1: pound weight. Our apartment complex actually allows us to or 415 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 1: allows us to rent garages. So Isaac one day he 416 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:19,440 Speaker 1: was like, we got a garage and I bought a 417 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 1: sauna with Badge and we're gonna turn it into our 418 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: facility downstairs. I'm like, it sounds like the most Badge 419 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,159 Speaker 1: and Ike thing ever. The mirrors are taped up with 420 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 1: duct tape. I don't go down there. I would like 421 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 1: to see this. Yeah. So okay, so Hunter builds a 422 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: workout facility, yeah, garage. Yeah, and so then I mean 423 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: that's really all that changed for him, And then for me, 424 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 1: I was still I was still full time, so three 425 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,119 Speaker 1: days a week, four days off, and there were just 426 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: a lot of unknowns in the medical field obviously, Like 427 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,639 Speaker 1: it was just really unknown how it was going to 428 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 1: be treated, and the symptoms, you know, kept evolving because 429 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 1: the virus kept mutating, and so it was it was 430 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 1: really scary for a while. And you know, our like PPE, 431 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: the protective equipment that we wear at work, it was 432 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 1: just kind of going out of stock really fast, and 433 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,879 Speaker 1: so for a while I was really worried. But um, 434 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 1: I came into contact with a couple of positive patients, 435 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 1: got tested after every single one of them, and it 436 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: wasn't really until like the boys were returned to what 437 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,360 Speaker 1: was it OTAs that's why they have in April, yes 438 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 1: or Yeah, That's when I was kind of like, Okay, 439 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: I can't put myself in a situation where I could 440 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 1: pass this on to Hunter and then him pass it 441 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 1: on to someone else on the team. And so that's 442 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 1: when we kind of did some reevaluating and I went 443 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 1: to perdum at work, which has been awesome I've I've 444 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: wanted to go Perdyum for a while now, and so 445 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: it was just kind of good timing. So what is 446 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: that because I don't Okay, so full time is three 447 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,880 Speaker 1: days a week, perdum is at my hospital one day 448 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 1: a week, okay, and so um that's been really nice. 449 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:55,880 Speaker 1: But back in I think it was, oh, probably the beginning, 450 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 1: when was it July or August? I took care of 451 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,640 Speaker 1: a positive patient that I didn't know was positive. Oh, 452 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,440 Speaker 1: Isaac told me about that, And you had to get 453 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: right rapid right when the boys started going back to 454 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 1: football and having you're getting tested every day, and so 455 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just one of those situations that sucks. 456 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: But so Hunter Staton Hotel that whole week until I 457 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: tested was negative. But I mean, it's just it's one 458 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: of those things where it sucks because it's a pandemic. Yes, 459 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 1: and you have to be smart and stay safe and healthy, 460 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 1: but it's also like you can't live your life. You 461 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 1: can't not live your life, you know, right, And so 462 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: through a lot of talking with Hunter and I, we 463 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,439 Speaker 1: just had to kind of put down some guidelines of 464 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: you know, how we're going to take care of ourselves 465 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: and with my work and stuff, and you know, if 466 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: he has to stay in a hotel, I don't want 467 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,880 Speaker 1: to give up nursing. I love it. Yeah, and so yeah, 468 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,120 Speaker 1: it's basically just taking care of ourselves the best we can. 469 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: And I mean, I know Isaac and I definitely had 470 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 1: the same I mean, our conversation was probably a little 471 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 1: bit more relaxing your conversation since you're in a hospital 472 00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: and I'm at clients homes. But Isaac and I had 473 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 1: that conversation like, Okay, should I take because I'm an 474 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 1: independent contractor, So he was like, should you take some 475 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,640 Speaker 1: like less contracts? Should you try and do a lot 476 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,359 Speaker 1: more from home? And so it was definitely a weird 477 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:17,360 Speaker 1: time because obviously you don't want him to get it 478 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: number one, and then two, you also don't want him 479 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,439 Speaker 1: spreading it to the entire team. And next thing you know, 480 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,680 Speaker 1: the Chargers are galling you up and they're like hey, 481 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 1: then you're on the headline though, you know, the Chargers 482 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:33,199 Speaker 1: out tea Corona and I'm like, damn it. But I 483 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 1: mean I wonder how like how many other couples, not 484 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: even in the NFL, but couples in general, had to 485 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,120 Speaker 1: have those conversations because I know, like watching the news 486 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: in the first few months of Corona, like nurses were 487 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaker 1: sleeping in the garages of their home and like turning 488 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,640 Speaker 1: it into a semi apartment just to not expose their family. Yeah, 489 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: and it's awful, and like, luckily it's just you two, 490 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: like there's no children involved. Cooper, He's okay, Cooper's okay. Luckily, 491 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: dog don't get it right, But I'm sure it was 492 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,640 Speaker 1: just like a few, like a couple of scary months, 493 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 1: especially because you're in such close proximity. Absolutely, absolutely, But 494 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing was too when all this 495 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,120 Speaker 1: kind of started, we had to realize we're very blessed 496 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: and the fact that you know, our guys do have 497 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,360 Speaker 1: a stable, unstable job, if you know what I mean, 498 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: when a lot of people did lose their jobs. And 499 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 1: so I'm very thankful that I did have nursing and 500 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 1: that Hunter does have football, because I can't imagine the 501 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 1: people that you know did go through losing their jobs 502 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 1: and to figure out the next option. And I think 503 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,159 Speaker 1: even more so like grateful that like you have a 504 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,679 Speaker 1: husband that wasn't like you need to quit because my 505 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 1: job is more important than your a job, whereas he 506 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 1: like kind of took one for the team. He's like, well, 507 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: I'll just stay at the hotel. Like, I mean, he's 508 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,160 Speaker 1: definitely bad. I thought run through his head a couple 509 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 1: of times, like this would all just be a lot 510 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 1: more simple if you, you know, right, push nursing to 511 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 1: the side. But now he supports me one. So yeah, 512 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 1: it's crazy because towards the end of the last podcast, 513 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,199 Speaker 1: I was about to get engaged. I'm not proposing this 514 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 1: time all. I promise, Dan, I thought I thought you were. 515 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 1: But I'm really happy that I had you on today's podcast, 516 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 1: and I'm really excited to continue having conversations like this 517 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: to make people more knowledgeable, I guess from our side 518 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 1: of the NFL, because certain shows online mate might portray 519 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 1: us a certain way wags. And it's nice to know 520 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 1: you as Parker Henry, not Hunter's wife Parker. So I'm 521 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:35,400 Speaker 1: so happy to have you on and thanks for being here. 522 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 1: Thank you so much. I enjoyed it. Yeah, and day 523 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 1: couldn't have been more beautiful, exactly. I hope. I think 524 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,159 Speaker 1: I might have a sun time. I think I had 525 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 1: got a lot of song on this side of my face. Yeah, 526 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,440 Speaker 1: we might have to switch hereafter, but thanks heaven, nice 527 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 1: having you, Thanks having you on, nice having you on. 528 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,880 Speaker 1: And I'll see you Sunday for Dame Day. Sounds good. 529 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 1: Can't wait.
