<v Speaker 1>This is Suckers. I'm Kilin Bell, I'm Dean Bell, and

0:00:04.680 --> 0:00:09.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm Jared Haven at iHeartRadio podcast. Hey, welcome to an

0:00:09.800 --> 0:00:13.160
<v Speaker 1>all new episode of Suckers with Jared Haven. I don't

0:00:13.160 --> 0:00:14.960
<v Speaker 1>know if that's the official title or not, but that's

0:00:15.000 --> 0:00:17.520
<v Speaker 1>what we're going with right now. Thank you so much

0:00:17.560 --> 0:00:20.560
<v Speaker 1>for tuning in once again into another week of me,

0:00:20.840 --> 0:00:24.560
<v Speaker 1>myself and I. You know, this podcast has been I

0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:26.600
<v Speaker 1>don't know how many episodes. This says four or five,

0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:28.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I'm starting to lose track of just

0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:31.120
<v Speaker 1>everything in my life. That's what happens when you have kids.

0:00:31.280 --> 0:00:36.480
<v Speaker 1>You just everything becomes one big blur, which is a

0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:41.800
<v Speaker 1>good and a bad thing. Means you're busy. I'm very busy.

0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:45.120
<v Speaker 1>Things are going well. Valentine's Day just passed. Ashley and

0:00:45.159 --> 0:00:48.800
<v Speaker 1>I didn't go on a date yet. We're planning on

0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:51.440
<v Speaker 1>doing that this weekend. It's so much different when you

0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:55.440
<v Speaker 1>have kids, and plus Audrey's I was working on Valentine's Day.

0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:57.480
<v Speaker 1>We did this Valentine's Day a little cute dinner. We

0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:00.400
<v Speaker 1>had about ten to twelve vers of eight, and we

0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:02.280
<v Speaker 1>had some walk ins too, that's at the bar, and

0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:05.080
<v Speaker 1>had some drinks and it was nice. We kind of

0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:06.679
<v Speaker 1>turned it into a little bit of a restaurant for

0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:10.440
<v Speaker 1>a minute and did some table service and candle like dinner,

0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:12.280
<v Speaker 1>and I was cooking in the back and I made

0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:14.560
<v Speaker 1>a salmon dish, a chicken dish, and a and a

0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:18.800
<v Speaker 1>baked pasta dish. Was quite delicious if you ask me,

0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:21.520
<v Speaker 1>which nobody's asking me. I'm just telling you because I'm

0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:23.880
<v Speaker 1>talking to myself here. But it was really nice. So

0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:27.040
<v Speaker 1>Ashley and I have not had a Valentine's Day date yet.

0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:28.600
<v Speaker 1>We haven't gone on a day in a while though,

0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:31.200
<v Speaker 1>which is not good. It's something we really need to

0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:34.920
<v Speaker 1>start doing more of. It's it's just, you know, time

0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:37.679
<v Speaker 1>goes by just so fast. You don't have time to

0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:40.200
<v Speaker 1>schedule dates like before you know it. It's like, wait,

0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:44.480
<v Speaker 1>what's the lostiming on a date four months? Four months? Also,

0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:48.800
<v Speaker 1>Ashley being pregnant doesn't help, you know, she's not feeling well, lethargic.

0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:51.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm working a lot, so whenever we have time, we

0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:54.720
<v Speaker 1>just kind of want to just not do anything. And

0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:56.960
<v Speaker 1>that's what we do, you know, come home, watch TV,

0:01:57.160 --> 0:02:01.320
<v Speaker 1>chill out, hang with Dawson. So there's never like a

0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:04.080
<v Speaker 1>moment where like, Okay, we need to you know, have

0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:06.280
<v Speaker 1>a night. We're gonna get a babysitter, we're gonna go

0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:08.880
<v Speaker 1>out to dinner, but we really need to do that

0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:12.960
<v Speaker 1>because we just, you know, full transparency, it's like, we

0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:16.600
<v Speaker 1>don't even feel like a couple. Well we feel like

0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:18.800
<v Speaker 1>a married couple obviously, but we don't feel like a

0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:23.120
<v Speaker 1>romantic couple. And there's a lot of factors, having Dawson

0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:28.320
<v Speaker 1>and her being pregnant, and Audrey's it just being so

0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:31.360
<v Speaker 1>cold outside, so there's a lot of factors as to

0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:33.680
<v Speaker 1>why it's just like, let's just not do anything. We'll

0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:35.720
<v Speaker 1>stay in and I'm sure there's a lot of couples

0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:38.320
<v Speaker 1>going through that right now. It's just a horrible time

0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:40.520
<v Speaker 1>of the year. To February. God, what a piece of

0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:44.400
<v Speaker 1>crap time of year, especially in the Northeast. Listen, obviously,

0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:46.360
<v Speaker 1>if you're down south listening to this, here you have

0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:49.560
<v Speaker 1>pretty nice weather, but up here, which majority of the

0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:53.840
<v Speaker 1>country has to go through, you know, you're just waiting

0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:57.560
<v Speaker 1>for the weather to turn. And it's not too much longer,

0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:01.959
<v Speaker 1>but it's just like grinding through January, grinding through February

0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:06.359
<v Speaker 1>and even March. I'm sorry, March socks, there's nothing look

0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:10.320
<v Speaker 1>forward to it in March, like I guess sometimes the

0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:13.040
<v Speaker 1>weather starts breaking a little bit, but I don't know.

0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:15.200
<v Speaker 1>I just feel like March the past couple of years

0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:19.000
<v Speaker 1>has still been kind of cold and just rainy, and

0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:23.160
<v Speaker 1>so it's just like it's just it's I don't know,

0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:25.720
<v Speaker 1>it's not my favorite. Hopefully I'm wrong, and hopefully like

0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:31.000
<v Speaker 1>March is like fifty degrees outside and sunny and good times,

0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:35.440
<v Speaker 1>good times. We'll see. Anyway, you guys didn't tune into

0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:37.200
<v Speaker 1>this podcast to listen to the weather, or maybe you

0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:40.040

0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:42.680

0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:08.040
<v Speaker 1>podcasts listening to Kalin's pop culture, which I'm sure She's

0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:11.080
<v Speaker 1>talked a decent amount about Bachelor because that's been dominating

0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:13.600
<v Speaker 1>the news. The ratings are doing really well, which is incredible.

0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:16.919
<v Speaker 1>Everybody seems to really enjoy Joey as the Bachelor's the

0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:22.039
<v Speaker 1>first time. I feel like people have liked The Bachelor.

0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:25.960
<v Speaker 1>No offense to Clayton and Zach. I'm very likable gentlemen,

0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:29.760
<v Speaker 1>but just you know, sometimes it's just, you know, not

0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:33.360
<v Speaker 1>that captivating, and it feels like Joey season's captivating. Everybody's behind.

0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:36.560
<v Speaker 1>Ratings are doing well, there's more engagement on social media.

0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:39.560
<v Speaker 1>Feels good, feels good, so that's great. They just announced

0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:42.520
<v Speaker 1>they're going to do another season The Golden Bachelorette. Very exciting.

0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:45.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm curious who's going to be the Golden Bachelorette. Odds

0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:49.160
<v Speaker 1>on favorite is Leslie. I'd be stunned. We're talking about

0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:51.719
<v Speaker 1>this on The Sucker's podcast. If they don't choose someone

0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:55.120
<v Speaker 1>from the Golden Bachelor cast, if they do go from

0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:57.360
<v Speaker 1>the outside and pick a random like they did with

0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:03.080
<v Speaker 1>you know Gary and yeah Gary for the Golden Bachelor.

0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:06.320
<v Speaker 1>Because the Golden Bachelor was such a success that the

0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:10.840
<v Speaker 1>ratings did so well that you feel like they would

0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:13.480
<v Speaker 1>want to try to catapult off that and grab someone

0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:18.080
<v Speaker 1>from that season who is a rootable character and make

0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:22.360
<v Speaker 1>her the Golden Bachelorette and then give her brand new guys.

0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:25.000
<v Speaker 1>But we'll see. I'm glad they're doing it. I hope

0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:27.839
<v Speaker 1>it does really well because the first season did so well.

0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:32.040
<v Speaker 1>I really hope this one does well also because I'm

0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:35.960
<v Speaker 1>just ruined for the franchise. Speaking of Bachelor, though, I'd

0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:40.520
<v Speaker 1>be remiss to not at least speak on Sidney, who

0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:44.719
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people just do not like, and I

0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:48.920
<v Speaker 1>feel bad. Sidney is a friend. I haven't seen everything.

0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:52.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna give full disclosure on that. I've seen a

0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:54.680
<v Speaker 1>decent amount of the drama that Sidney has been involved

0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:57.360
<v Speaker 1>in with her and Maria. I don't know Maria. I'm

0:05:57.360 --> 0:06:03.440
<v Speaker 1>sure Maria is very nice as well. I think what sucks.

0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:06.240
<v Speaker 1>And this is how I felt as soon as Sidney

0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:11.159
<v Speaker 1>came back, because because she's a friend, you know, we

0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:14.160
<v Speaker 1>talked about, like, all right, what happened, and she give

0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:16.640
<v Speaker 1>us the lowdown of what happened that was involving her

0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:19.719
<v Speaker 1>and the drama with her Maria, And when I first

0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:25.320
<v Speaker 1>heard it, I felt nervous for her because it sounded

0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:30.040
<v Speaker 1>like she could be the person who was constantly going

0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:34.600
<v Speaker 1>to the Bachelor complaining about another woman, and nobody wants

0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:36.520
<v Speaker 1>to be that person. Nobody wants to see that person,

0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:40.359
<v Speaker 1>and that person is not enjoyable to watch. And so

0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:42.880
<v Speaker 1>I was very nervous for her at that point, but

0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:48.279
<v Speaker 1>she felt very confident that a lot of the girls

0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:54.039
<v Speaker 1>in the season did not like Maria, and Maria was

0:06:54.160 --> 0:07:01.240
<v Speaker 1>the core problem. And Sidney might be right because after

0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:04.360
<v Speaker 1>Sydney left, it feels like there is more drama involving Maria,

0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:06.880
<v Speaker 1>and for some reason, there's a lot of girls that

0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:14.920
<v Speaker 1>have issues with Maria. And let's be honest, it's problemen,

0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:17.880
<v Speaker 1>not a coincidence. There's probably a reason why multiple girls

0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:23.080
<v Speaker 1>are having problems with Maria. Uh. I don't know why,

0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:27.240
<v Speaker 1>but there's something there. Where there's smoke, there's fire. But

0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:33.600
<v Speaker 1>also I can criticize sid and I never like I

0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:38.480
<v Speaker 1>just you know, what I tell people is just focus

0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:44.720
<v Speaker 1>on yourself, you know, and trying definitely don't be the

0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:47.800
<v Speaker 1>person that goes to the Bachelor complaining about another person,

0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:50.200
<v Speaker 1>because it's just never gonna end well for you. It's

0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:55.160
<v Speaker 1>kind of like you know, rule one O one, But

0:07:56.600 --> 0:08:00.160
<v Speaker 1>so I didn't like that obviously, But I do you

0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:02.800
<v Speaker 1>feel bad for sid because she's just gets so much hate.

0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:07.840
<v Speaker 1>And what I can speak upon about sid because obviously

0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:10.400
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't there, so I don't know the full context

0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:12.559
<v Speaker 1>of what happened between her and Maria and why Sidney

0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:16.320
<v Speaker 1>kept on insisting to go to Joey telling him that

0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:24.280
<v Speaker 1>Maria is the real problem, which I did not like.

0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:28.800
<v Speaker 1>Didn't like it at all. I wish I could go

0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:30.840
<v Speaker 1>there and be like sid just focused on herself and

0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:36.200
<v Speaker 1>don't go to Joey about another girl. Nobody wants that.

0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:40.280
<v Speaker 1>But what I can speak upon on Sydney is her character.

0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:43.959
<v Speaker 1>I worked with Sydney, she did social media for Audrey's.

0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:47.360
<v Speaker 1>She's a friend, someone I've spent time with, someone that

0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:50.280
<v Speaker 1>has been over our house, has spent time with our son, Dawson,

0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:55.160
<v Speaker 1>who's been so good to him. You know, Sidney's a

0:08:55.200 --> 0:09:00.240
<v Speaker 1>good person. She's got a good heart, and she works hard,

0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:06.720
<v Speaker 1>and she treats people well. And obviously she went on

0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:09.520
<v Speaker 1>The Bachelor, got caught up in the drama. I'm sure

0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:12.200
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of things that she regrets. Having said that,

0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:16.080
<v Speaker 1>there's no need for people to say some of the

0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:20.800
<v Speaker 1>things that have been said towards Sydney because it just

0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:24.280
<v Speaker 1>goes too far. Now, of course, there's some lightheartedness that

0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:27.200
<v Speaker 1>I find funny that I think should all be good.

0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:31.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, Like there was a clip on TikTok or

0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:34.880
<v Speaker 1>something where people were in the parking lot of Folk.

0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:37.800
<v Speaker 1>It was like young kids celebrating Sidney got sent home.

0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:40.400
<v Speaker 1>All right, I find that funny, Like, I think that

0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:43.040
<v Speaker 1>that's funny. I think sid hopefully got a good laugh

0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:46.160
<v Speaker 1>at that because they were just partying because Sidney got

0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:49.880
<v Speaker 1>sent home. I think, you know, because that's kind of lighthearted.

0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:52.600
<v Speaker 1>It's all fun and games. There is a part of

0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:55.840
<v Speaker 1>you that is a character. Like we're part character on

0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:59.240
<v Speaker 1>this show. We're very real, we're real people. It's real stories,

0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:01.840
<v Speaker 1>it's real feeling. But it's also a TV show, and

0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:04.719
<v Speaker 1>there's characters that are created, and like Ashley and I

0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:07.640
<v Speaker 1>are character on this TV show, and so is Sydney,

0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:10.400
<v Speaker 1>and so I find it funny that people were celebrating,

0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:13.280
<v Speaker 1>like drinking in Sydney's parking a lot of her store

0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:16.559
<v Speaker 1>in Rhode Island, like celebrating the fact that I guess

0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:18.920
<v Speaker 1>she sent home. Because I think, like if Sydney she

0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:22.000
<v Speaker 1>wasn't at the store at the time, so she couldn't

0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:23.280
<v Speaker 1>have done this, But I thought it would be so

0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:25.640
<v Speaker 1>funny if she was actually at the store and she

0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:28.320
<v Speaker 1>went out and like partied with these people, because they

0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:30.720
<v Speaker 1>would have loved it, you know, and it was shown

0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:33.559
<v Speaker 1>self deprecating and it would have been funny and it

0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:35.560
<v Speaker 1>would have been great. And that's the type of stuff

0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:41.040
<v Speaker 1>that I think is funny and totally fair game. But

0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:42.959
<v Speaker 1>of course the things that I don't find fair game

0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:45.400
<v Speaker 1>are some of the messages that Sidney even posted on

0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:48.720
<v Speaker 1>her Instagram where people are just saying heinous stuff, and

0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:52.160
<v Speaker 1>it's like, guys, guys, you know, I'm not saying you

0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:55.760
<v Speaker 1>have to like Sydney, but like, would you ever, in

0:10:55.800 --> 0:11:00.439
<v Speaker 1>your everyday life say some of the things that you're

0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:06.040
<v Speaker 1>saying to someone's face? Of course not, of course you wouldn't.

0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:23.720
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, anyway, that's my thoughts on The Bachelor. We

0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:27.600
<v Speaker 1>also just had Super Bowl Sunday, which was fun. Man,

0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:31.320
<v Speaker 1>It's just turned into such a thing. The idea that

0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:33.720
<v Speaker 1>the Monday after the super Bowl is not a holiday

0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:40.400
<v Speaker 1>is just banana land, absolute craziness. Like, come on, America,

0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:44.000
<v Speaker 1>Come on, America. I love this country. I think it's

0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:47.200
<v Speaker 1>the greatest country in the world. But come on, you

0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:49.360
<v Speaker 1>need to make the Monday after the super Bowl a

0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:52.439
<v Speaker 1>national holiday and you don't need any excuse to do it.

0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:55.560
<v Speaker 1>People were like, why can't you just celebrate President's Day,

0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:57.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, and move it to the Monday after the

0:11:57.200 --> 0:12:00.160
<v Speaker 1>super Bowl. You don't even need to do that. A

0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:02.560
<v Speaker 1>lot of people that work hard in this country, that

0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:08.080
<v Speaker 1>work five days a week, and it's just like, you know,

0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:10.559
<v Speaker 1>you need good things in life. You need good things

0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:14.640
<v Speaker 1>in life, and the making the Monday a holiday after

0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:17.960
<v Speaker 1>the super Bowl is a good thing in life, and

0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:20.920
<v Speaker 1>we should just do it, because you know what, life

0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:23.480
<v Speaker 1>is too short. Let's take the day off of work

0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:25.840
<v Speaker 1>after the super Bowl because we're all up late, we're

0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:28.800
<v Speaker 1>all eating, we all feel like crap because I've had

0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:32.560
<v Speaker 1>seventy four wings with all different types of sauces that

0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:36.440
<v Speaker 1>are now mixed together in my stomach. I've had seven beers.

0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:41.120
<v Speaker 1>I haven't moved from the couch. It's late, and now

0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:44.080
<v Speaker 1>you tell me I got a wake up early. No no, no, no, no, no,

0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:48.520
<v Speaker 1>Let's just all have the day off. Let's all get together. Okay,

0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:53.120
<v Speaker 1>Republican Democrats doesn't matter and just say, hey, listen, if

0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:57.680
<v Speaker 1>there's one thing we're going to agree on, it's nobody's

0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:00.000
<v Speaker 1>going to work the Monday after the super Bowl. Because

0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:04.679
<v Speaker 1>this is a good thing. And that's my rant about that.

0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:07.800
<v Speaker 1>It was fun, got to watch it with Dawson. I

0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:14.160
<v Speaker 1>feel a little conflicted with doing things with Dawson right

0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:18.520
<v Speaker 1>now that are meant for adults as well. The reason

0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:20.840
<v Speaker 1>I say this is a super Bowl. You know, we

0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:22.720
<v Speaker 1>went to my friend's house for the Super Bowl. And

0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:25.000
<v Speaker 1>it's tough, right because you go, like, I want to

0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:27.320
<v Speaker 1>watch the game. I want to watch the game with Dawson.

0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:30.120
<v Speaker 1>I want to share this experience. But he could give

0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:33.680
<v Speaker 1>a rats ass about the game. He doesn't know what's

0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:35.600
<v Speaker 1>going on, Like he just wants to run around. So

0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:38.960
<v Speaker 1>I find myself running around with him, not paying attention

0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:41.839
<v Speaker 1>to the game, not bonding with him over the things

0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:44.160
<v Speaker 1>that I don't want to bond with him over, Like it's

0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:46.280
<v Speaker 1>just things that we do all the time, which is

0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:49.360
<v Speaker 1>like reading a book or just like throwing the ball

0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:53.520
<v Speaker 1>or just me chasing him, which is so much fun.

0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:56.360
<v Speaker 1>But it's also like, bro, it's a super Bowl, like

0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:59.400
<v Speaker 1>we you know, this is something like I want to

0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:02.720
<v Speaker 1>share with you and not do the things that we

0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:06.439
<v Speaker 1>do all the time. Anyway, A point is the reason

0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:08.040
<v Speaker 1>I was thinking about this is because I'm going to

0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:11.120
<v Speaker 1>a Bruins game, Boston Bruns game, which I'm excited about.

0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:12.920
<v Speaker 1>I've actually never been to a Bruns game. It's my

0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:18.800
<v Speaker 1>first Brun's game ever, which is crazy. But I was

0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:22.040
<v Speaker 1>thinking do I bring you know, I was talking to

0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Ashley about it, and Ashley, it's not feeling too great

0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:28.480
<v Speaker 1>right now with pregnancy. She's not really a hockey fan,

0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:30.640
<v Speaker 1>you know. She was like, I'll go and it would

0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:33.160
<v Speaker 1>be fun. We can bring Dawson, and I was like, yeah,

0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:35.280
<v Speaker 1>do I want that? Though? And then I felt so

0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:38.520
<v Speaker 1>terrible because I was like, I want to go so

0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:43.320
<v Speaker 1>badly to sporting events with my son because that's such

0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:47.520
<v Speaker 1>an experience for both of us. But it am I

0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:49.920
<v Speaker 1>being selfish by saying I don't want to go with

0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:53.680
<v Speaker 1>him right now because he's just too young for those

0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:55.440
<v Speaker 1>type of environments. Like when we went to Disney. I

0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:57.440
<v Speaker 1>didn't feel like he was too young for Disney because

0:14:57.440 --> 0:15:02.880
<v Speaker 1>there's so much for him there should do you know,

0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:06.880
<v Speaker 1>at a game, the only thing to do is to

0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:09.440
<v Speaker 1>watch the game, and of course there's lights and you

0:15:09.480 --> 0:15:14.120
<v Speaker 1>can walk around, but like, I don't want you five

0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:16.960
<v Speaker 1>minutes in him to start freaking out and just want

0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:19.760
<v Speaker 1>to run around the stadium where it's like no, no, no,

0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:22.200
<v Speaker 1>we watched the game, buddy, you know, we're going to

0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:24.640
<v Speaker 1>watch the game together, and there's like so much happening,

0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:27.560
<v Speaker 1>but he doesn't care. You know, after ten minutes of

0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:31.280
<v Speaker 1>watching that, he's he's over it. He wants Aladdin, you know.

0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:35.560
<v Speaker 1>So I feel kind of selfish being like I don't

0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:37.600
<v Speaker 1>know if I want to take Dawson. In fact, I

0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:39.680
<v Speaker 1>know I don't want to take Dawson, not because I

0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:41.080
<v Speaker 1>don't want to be with my son. I want to

0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:42.720
<v Speaker 1>be with my son so badly. I want to bring

0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:44.360
<v Speaker 1>him to Red Sox games. I want to bring him

0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:47.160
<v Speaker 1>to Bruin's games and Patriots and like share that experience.

0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:48.800
<v Speaker 1>But I want him to know what's going on, so

0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:51.840
<v Speaker 1>I can, you know, talk to him about things like, dude,

0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:53.560
<v Speaker 1>you see that play, like this is what he did

0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:55.520
<v Speaker 1>on that? Isn't that crazy? You're like, oh, my god,

0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:58.720
<v Speaker 1>was on a crazy throw, you know, or my god,

0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:01.240
<v Speaker 1>what to pass? And like, oh the Bruins won, Like

0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:03.600
<v Speaker 1>he has no idea, he's probably gonna be scared. Honestly,

0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:05.400
<v Speaker 1>I was also thinking that, like with the loud noise

0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:07.240
<v Speaker 1>in the lights, he's probably gonna freaked the hell out.

0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:12.000
<v Speaker 1>So maybe it's not that selfish. I don't know anybody

0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:14.320
<v Speaker 1>else feel that way though, where you get this parent guilt.

0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:16.720
<v Speaker 1>You're like, oh, no, I want to do something without

0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:18.560
<v Speaker 1>my son, but something I do want to do with

0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:21.960
<v Speaker 1>my son down the line, So like, should I feel

0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:23.880
<v Speaker 1>terrible for not wanting to do it right now even

0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:27.640
<v Speaker 1>though I think it's probably the best that I do this,

0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:31.200
<v Speaker 1>And then he just stays home and just like you know,

0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:33.080
<v Speaker 1>chills in his room with his toys, which is what

0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:35.560
<v Speaker 1>he's going to want to do. Anyway. I don't know.

0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:37.000
<v Speaker 1>These are all things that pop in my head. I

0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:38.840
<v Speaker 1>kind of feel like a bad person. But at the

0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:40.800
<v Speaker 1>same time, should I not? Should I feel like a

0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:46.920
<v Speaker 1>bad person? I don't really know anyway. What else' those

0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:49.920
<v Speaker 1>are my thoughts about taking Dawson to the Bruins games.

0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:55.560
<v Speaker 1>I know, compelling stuff. Guys, tell me about it. If
