Speaker 3:That song is so aggressive? Oh no, he means in the song. We weren't saying it.
Speaker 5:He means like in the song yeah, yeah, yeah, welcome to the podcast, thanks. So hey, this week the kids went back to school.
Speaker 2:Yes, right, it's a little early it's early but our kids went back later than the other kids in our community area.
Speaker 5:So we're from central indiana and some kids went back. What the first of august, 31st July?
Speaker 2:31st.
Speaker 5:Yeah, wow, which is way too early. I can remember being a kid I went back to school after Labor Day, because you're old as fuck. Yeah, but I attract the young women.
Speaker 3:Yeah, tell them, honey. Some people call that a bit of fun.
Speaker 2:I remember that because I like it used to be a big deal. State Fair is always, you know, starting. State Fair is starting, like now, yep, and it always used to be.
Speaker 5:Why do you think they do the State Fair when Kids are back in school.
Speaker 2:When kids go back to school Because they didn't used to be. That was what I that was the point I was getting ready to make. I remember, like you, used to be able to go to state fair not a big deal but then they started moving it earlier and earlier and towards, like my last year in 4-h, I had to miss school to go down and run at the state fair because you I mean you you qualified to run at state fair like you don't. You don't get to just go down to state fair and be in the classes. It's something that you've earned and that you've worked for.
Speaker 5:really so I think they've opened it. Why do you think they haven't adjusted the schedule to a state fair?
Speaker 2:because 4-h fair I mean like huntington county's 4-h fair is always the week after my birthday, so it's the third week of july. You can't have it. I mean. So that was it. You had to qualify at county fair to go down and be in state fair.
Speaker 3:Well, none of us used to be in school, right?
Speaker 2:But they can't adjust it and move it earlier because, county fair is not there and they can't move county fairs earlier because kids can't start practicing all the things that they need to do until school's out.
Speaker 5:Got it.
Speaker 2:So you're going to get colder sooner.
Speaker 5:I don't think that it gets colder. Is it sooner?
Speaker 7:Why? Because the kids went back to school.
Speaker 5:No, no, no, no no no, no, no, I'm asking.
Speaker 4:Kids are in school.
Speaker 3:It's going to get fucking cold.
Speaker 4:You want me to lay into you again.
Speaker 5:Say you're sorry, sorry.
Speaker 4:Hello, hello, big country, thank you for joining the podcast. Is it gonna like how it got? We didn't see much snow when, like when it started to become spring. Is that gonna smack us in our mouth? Is it gonna be like so, 40 degrees in october.
Speaker 5:I have heard that this season is supposed to be bad and you remember, last year it snowed on halloween but then it didn't snow all season. That's what I'm saying. Like, is it gonna be like 30 degrees in the first of?
Speaker 2:october I don't know on Halloween, but then it didn't snow all season and then we never got any snow.
Speaker 4:That's what I'm saying. Like, is it going to be like 30 degrees in the first of October?
Speaker 2:I don't know. The seasons are definitely changing and weird because we haven't seen a big snowfall in two years, three years.
Speaker 4:Yeah, and it went from blistering cold to cut off shirt and shorts weather like that Denny, when we went to.
Speaker 5:Kentucky.
Speaker 2:No, the UP. Oh yeah, we went to the UP in, okay. I was going to argue with you, but you're right, it is that way it was. When did we go October?
Speaker 5:To the UP. Yeah, no, we went last.
Speaker 2:August. Okay, it was August and they had just gotten like eight inches of snow.
Speaker 3:Yeah, jeez.
Speaker 2:The week before we went up there.
Speaker 3:Yeah, there was still snow on the roadside, and then you got there and you got eight inches Of what.
Speaker 4:Imagination Did you cheat?
Speaker 3:on Denny.
Speaker 5:Wow, coughing into the microphone. All right, that's enough of that.
Speaker 3:I guarantee that All right, that's enough of that. I guarantee that's eight inches.
Speaker 5:That's enough. So yeah, the weather.
Speaker 7:I will tell you this yeah, go back to the seasons.
Speaker 2:The weather does change Like we started coaching football and Braden and I and Because I'm not a coach nor team mom In case anybody's wondering, oh my God.
Speaker 5:And because I'm not a coach nor team mom, to case anybody's wondering oh my god, to my knowledge like not even to my knowledge, just my experience it is football season now. Then you're going to blink and it's going to be Halloween, and then Halloween leads right into Thanksgiving and what's happy in Christmas, and then we're at next summer. No, I think in between Christmas and summer is the longest time. It's not as long as it used to be when I was a kid, but it's definitely there's some space in there.
Speaker 5:That's the slowest time of the year.
Speaker 4:It is so slow. January to March is the slowest. Really, Christmas to March is the slowest.
Speaker 5:It feels like time moves at half the speed After the Super Bowl especially.
Speaker 4:Once the.
Speaker 5:Super Bowl time stops. There's nothing to look forward to. Is anybody monitoring comments?
Speaker 4:There's nothing to look forward to One two it's that everything is just shitty, like after the Super Bowl. It's like everything dies down and then it's New Year's. But New Year's now is not anything special. Like it used to be cool. It used to be fun. Now it's like holy shit.
Speaker 5:The older you get, the less New Year's matters.
Speaker 4:Well, and not that it doesn't matter Like I enjoy coming here for a festive cheese bowl.
Speaker 2:Stay up till midnight is miserable.
Speaker 4:I'm not saying that. What I'm saying is like even really after New Year's there's nothing. There's nothing until New Year's, to Jet's birthday. I have nothing to look forward to. And I'm not saying I always need something to look forward to.
Speaker 2:I'll let Isabel know you don't look forward to her birthday. When no, you don't look forward to her birthday.
Speaker 4:When's Isabelle's birthday?
Speaker 2:January 14th, so fucking rude.
Speaker 5:So what is something that? Stop having kids. I'll keep track better.
Speaker 2:You can trust me. Jm's birthday is in February.
Speaker 5:Somebody tell me you did. I don't know. If you guys aren't busy, we could go ahead and have a podcast.
Speaker 6:Go ahead.
Speaker 5:Or we can figure out birthdays.
Speaker 3:Hey, I don't know if you know this, but what you do on a fucking podcast is you talk, you talk, you discuss things, and that's kind of what we were doing.
Speaker 4:Somebody tell you I've lost my train of thought.
Speaker 5:It's probably on your screen. No, it's not on my screen. Oh, I do have a question, Amanda tell me something that tells you summer's ending.
Speaker 7:It used to be.
Speaker 5:I didn't realize it would be this way.
Speaker 2:I have my answer Shut it off. Oh, she's ready. It used to be the kids going back to school, but this year, like it's killing me.
Speaker 5:I can also remember going back to school and it being 240 degrees in the room, uh-huh, because the heat was on. Yes, it was so miserable, mm. Yes, it was so miserable, it was so miserable. So, kids going back to school? Now, no cop out for you, young man. Tell me something that tells you that summer is over.
Speaker 4:My birthday.
Speaker 5:In.
Speaker 4:October, usually it's still decently warm outside, and once my birthday to me, you asked me. This is me, though. You asked me what tells me, not what tells Jams, not what tells the old man.
Speaker 6:I just want to let you know that sometimes you gotta shut the fuck up.
Speaker 7:This current time is just one of those times you gotta shut the fuck up.
Speaker 1:I don't think you're a bad person. I just don't want to hear you talking anymore.
Speaker 4:You gotta shut the fuck up Boy that got everybody engaged. All right, Finish your thought.
Speaker 3:Whenever you think summer's over is when I think, no, I see what you're saying. No, you don't, because the face that you made when I said it.
Speaker 4:you were like is something wrong with you? That was close, you're welcome. My birthday to me signifies that summer is officially done. Now, even with the random super hot day, still summer's gone.
Speaker 5:I don't know. I think summer goes like on a calendar summer ends what? September 20th?
Speaker 2:I have given up because those days are so jacked up now.
Speaker 4:I think so too we can ask my ex.
Speaker 5:She follows the summer solstice.
Speaker 2:I don't know what that means.
Speaker 7:Why didn't you call her up?
Speaker 3:It's not me. You're not an ex yet.
Speaker 5:That's definitely not her. What do you?
Speaker 7:mean, how's your relationship with her?
Speaker 5:Jams, tell me something. Tell me something that signifies to you that summer is over.
Speaker 2:September 22nd.
Speaker 5:I'm so smucking fart.
Speaker 3:You're so smucking dumb. And it's the autumn equinox that it ends. Oh, duck and dumb, duck and dumb.
Speaker 4:Is autumn, after summer.
Speaker 2:Autumn is fall.
Speaker 4:Why would you say I just want?
Speaker 1:to let you know that sometimes you got to shut the fuck up, shut the fuck up, and this current time is just one of those times you got to shut the fuck up. I don't think you're a bad person.
Speaker 4:I just don't want to hear you talking anymore. Let me just ask a question If the season is fall, why would you look at me and say autumn is fall? The season is autumn, but people call it fall as a common language.
Speaker 5:Oh Term.
Speaker 7:Okay, alright.
Speaker 4:I hate everybody here.
Speaker 5:People are so sensitive in this, and the Every Joke has a Little Truth studio.
Speaker 4:All I did was I am the only one that is not sensitive Is autumn. After summer it's fall. All I know is fall.
Speaker 5:It's the angry podcast.
Speaker 2:I should have.
Speaker 4:Winter, spring, summer fall.
Speaker 2:No, Brayden, that's the fifth season.
Speaker 4:I would have said you know, I'll be damned. I thought there was four. You guys could have laughed amongst yourselves.
Speaker 5:Don't worry, we will Okay.
Speaker 3:Jams summer's over. How do you know? Oh goodness.
Speaker 5:Somebody liked us and took it away. Somebody liked us and took it away. Somebody followed us and took it away.
Speaker 2:It said no, you're not funny.
Speaker 5:I saw someone like it and immediately the like or the follow left.
Speaker 2:They said, shit, I didn't mean to click that.
Speaker 5:Please like and follow, for the love of God just give us a like and follow.
Speaker 3:It used to be the kids going back to school probably dumbest answer I've ever heard in my life but, probably the dumbest answer. This next one is the second dumbest answer I've ever heard in my life it hasn't felt like that in probably like three years, because I feel like every year it just keeps getting earlier, earlier and earlier, right, so I would probably say I like it to be the end of September.
Speaker 4:So basically what I said Okay, got it.
Speaker 5:How do you know? It's the end of summer, though, like what signifies to you.
Speaker 3:Oh, like you know, the pools are closing.
Speaker 4:Oh, that's a good one.
Speaker 2:Labor Day is always a good, but I think Pools are staying open later.
Speaker 5:No, no, no Labor. Day Pools like campgrounds and stuff it's.
Speaker 2:Memorial Day to Labor Day.
Speaker 5:When was the last time you went to a pool in a city that you had to, that you had to pay to get into?
Speaker 3:Oh God, it's been years, but that closes.
Speaker 5:Yeah Well, brayden, when was the last time you paid to go to a pool or went to a city community pool? Um?
Speaker 4:I haven't really in a long time.
Speaker 5:Amanda, I've never been personally because of the incident in the pool when you were younger. No, no, because I don't like people what happened then. I can't remember if she pooped in the pool or if there was sex in the pool. It was one of the two things.
Speaker 2:Yes, when I was younger, it was definitely sex in the pool.
Speaker 4:Oh, okay, you partied in the pool. No, okay, so you had sex in the pool no.
Speaker 3:That wasn't a good and it worked and you fell for it, hook line and sinker Like a dummy. So nothing happened when you were in a pool. No, okay, just making sure.
Speaker 5:Jams doesn't want to miss the juicy gossip, if there is any. Anyway, yeah, I miss. When I was a kid my mom would take me swimming to like ponds and watering holes, but occasionally she would take me to to like ponds and watering holes, but occasionally she would take me to a city pool. I hated them that.
Speaker 4:Kokomo Beach. Is that what you?
Speaker 5:mean. Well, it was called the seashore when. I was a kid which we affectionately called the peashore, because people peed in it, obviously, but I didn't like going to those pools. I was a chubby kid, I didn't like going in them, and it's always so overcrowded.
Speaker 4:So full, it's full and the people in there are of.
Speaker 2:Very, very people-y. I guess the last time would have been like Busch Gardens I guess, if you count that Did we go to a pool.
Speaker 3:Huh.
Speaker 4:We went to the water park. We got married on the beach.
Speaker 3:We didn't get married on the fucking beach. I have a picture to prove it. No, we didn't. No, no, those were just. Why do we do this?
Speaker 7:Those were just family pictures.
Speaker 4:We got married in the courthouse.
Speaker 3:We didn't get married.
Speaker 4:You sure it wasn't the reception on the beach. I'm pretty sure we got married.
Speaker 3:It was a day later that we took pictures.
Speaker 4:With your hot friend.
Speaker 3:Yes.
Speaker 5:So if you go to OdysseyOnlinecom, when do they say summer?
Speaker 4:ends. When do you think summer ends?
Speaker 5:That's a good question oh, I think summer. To me, summer is over when summer ends. In my opinion, when school goes back I know that's what Amanda said, but it's not immediately, but about the middle of football season I start thinking, my God, summer's over Of our football or NFL, no high school football. Kids football.
Speaker 3:Would you rather go to a football game and have to wear a hoodie, hoodie.
Speaker 2:Hoodie All day long, all day. One million percent Other than you're walking and sweating.
Speaker 4:Hoodie weather is the best weather.
Speaker 5:And it's not very long that it's really comfortable outside.
Speaker 4:It's nice out tonight, it is. That's why you take it and you hang on to it and you just hold it as long as you can.
Speaker 5:I came home and Amanda looked like Nanook from the North. I got home she was wearing sweatpants that would make her mother proud.
Speaker 3:You're ready to get back into it, aren't you? And?
Speaker 5:my hoodie sweatshirt and she looked so comfortable.
Speaker 2:I was very comfy.
Speaker 4:That is exactly what Alexis did after dinner. She put on my sweats and one of her sweatshirts, put it up and then she laid down.
Speaker 3:Wait, your sweats, pants or top my sweat pants.
Speaker 5:The dinner that I wasn't allowed to be at.
Speaker 3:We weren't invited to Were they capris on her, are they?
Speaker 5:bigger Shots.
Speaker 3:Even if they're bigger you've got little tiny legs. Likewise we heard you.
Speaker 5:Hey, if you're on TikTok. Live give us a like and a follow.
Speaker 7:Jesus, she's gorgeous.
Speaker 5:Will you let people know that we exist? Odysseyonlinecom. The first thing that they say is a will let you know that summer's over. Sorry, I got a lot going through my head. Is swimming attire goes on sale.
Speaker 3:No, that went on sale like two weeks after summer. Now, not true anymore, because they put it out so early, Although I will tell you.
Speaker 2:I was so mad. You cannot find a fucking jacket anywhere. How does that feel? I have tried to buy a jacket.
Speaker 4:I want, like a nice, just to say something and then just to be immediately your face mushed into the ground. That's just not true and you're wrong and you're dumb for saying it. No, the website stuff, not him.
Speaker 5:Those weren't his own thoughts, although I agree.
Speaker 2:Although you did ask what autumn was.
Speaker 5:No, yeah, I do agree that once the swimsuits.
Speaker 2:I think, you.
Speaker 5:Yes, because it's like anything else as you get towards the end, they have to start liquidating, so they sell To me that says hey, but they do that like mid-summer.
Speaker 2:They've stopped doing that. Predictably, if you don't buy swimsuits early, you're already out of luck. Everything's gone. We're going to sell those. Beginning of summer they put them on sale.
Speaker 3:Or like mid-summer, you'll see the bathing suits. They'll start getting a smaller section and then more school clothes will start coming out, but the bathing suits will be cheaper.
Speaker 2:Because, like everything, they bring it all out way earlier.
Speaker 5:When was the last time you bought a bathing suit this spring, this spring? How about you? Um?
Speaker 3:like one for me or like in general you know what?
Speaker 2:audrey I bought one like I answered for the girls, so it doesn't matter yeah, like uh, probably beginning of summer okay.
Speaker 3:So this year, yeah, okay so audrey needs one every year because she grows so much when do you buy?
Speaker 5:do you buy a swimsuit in you know march, or do you buy it in June?
Speaker 2:I'll tell you March. You have to buy it in March or you're not going to get one or? You're picking through the ugly ones.
Speaker 5:Or spring break? Is that where that really happens?
Speaker 2:Yeah, and they go on. I think that's probably a good point.
Speaker 3:They go on sale after spring break, on sale after spring break A little bit, they start to try and clear them out and shrink the sections.
Speaker 5:Really you think that, huh?
Speaker 2:Yes, you should have to go shopping more often is what it sounds like to me.
Speaker 5:I'm not going shopping for those. Have you ever tried on a bathing suit?
Speaker 4:Nope, hope it fits. Yes, the drawstring. I'll just tighten that sumbitch down if it's a little loose.
Speaker 5:So you've Drawstring, I'll just tighten that sumbitch down if it's a little loose and if it's tight, so you've tied one on.
Speaker 4:you haven't.
Speaker 5:No, I don't tie one you don't want things touching your parts.
Speaker 2:I don't. I leave my panties on.
Speaker 3:Oh well, I mean, I guess I've never, I just always hope they fit.
Speaker 5:Get it home if it doesn't fit.
Speaker 3:I take it back.
Speaker 2:I just own it forever.
Speaker 3:That's the same thing as trying it on. I don't take them back. She can't take that kind of stuff back once you buy it. Yes, she can.
Speaker 5:I'm going to. From now on, you know what, the number two thing from odysseyonlinecom is. It's an odd first bullet point.
Speaker 3:I thought once you took the little stretchy thingy, out Once you take the liner out.
Speaker 2:But if you're just trying it on, why would you take that out?
Speaker 4:I'm sorry.
Speaker 7:What.
Speaker 3:That's why, because Welcome to Return Podcast.
Speaker 2:The clothing show with Jams and Amanda this one actually the number two bullet point on this one.
Speaker 5:actually, once I read it I was like oh shit, yeah, that's it, and Jam said it. The number two sign that summer's out school supplies come back. That's really, I mean to me, if I were to think about it, that's number one. I see that and I'm like fuck it's over.
Speaker 2:It reminds me that shit, I've got to reenlist all these kids in school.
Speaker 3:It reminds me that shit, I've got to re-enlist all these kids in school.
Speaker 2:It reminds me shit, I'm about to spend so much fucking money. Except I did buy Braxton's school supplies like end of June. Yeah, that's when they brought them out that early. No, they were out earlier than that. Well, that's when I was at the grocery store and I'm like, well they didn't bring out yes, they did.
Speaker 3:People were starting June 30th. They brought July 30th, they brought school supplies out like mid July.
Speaker 5:That's much different, june.
Speaker 3:July Sorry.
Speaker 5:I hate this podcast.
Speaker 3:July.
Speaker 2:I said June, Meaning June. In June I bought Braxton school supplies. Oh, If you're watching this right now give us a comment and say when you believe school supplies are out, when you saw, not believe. When you saw them, yeah, when did?
Speaker 5:you start seeing them.
Speaker 2:Number three, because Daddy apparently hasn't been to a store in three years.
Speaker 3:Well, no, I've been to stores, I just I mean they don't do the big aisle things until.
Speaker 5:July, and why do you have to buy so much at back-to-school stuff?
Speaker 4:I went back-to-school shopping for the first time this year by myself, with both boys. It was like I was heading into the Coliseum with nothing but a shield and a sword. When I walked into Walmart I was like boys, get on the cart and don't get off of it, because we're going to have to make some moves.
Speaker 3:How did that work for?
Speaker 4:you. It was so cool. It was so cool. The boys picked out everything they wanted. We went down the list that the school gave us. He was like, oh, I want this color of that and I want this backpack. It was so fun.
Speaker 3:Let me try this one. I feel like the print gets smaller and it gets longer, that's because there's more on it.
Speaker 4:Not like that.
Speaker 5:I wasn't a big fan of that one I don't know what that was. It was called Thriller.
Speaker 3:Wait, that wasn't very thrilling. You wanted us to practice a sound effect? No, I just wanted you to try shutting the fuck up while I tried one.
Speaker 5:If we didn't mind, that would have been a good start.
Speaker 3:You guys aren't taking any of my cues today. I shut the fuck up.
Speaker 5:No, you don't.
Speaker 3:No, I did shut the fuck up when that played?
Speaker 4:No, you didn't. Oh Was that number three school supplies.
Speaker 5:Nope, that was two. Number three the sun sets earlier and earlier. What's the time right now?
Speaker 2:I do notice that 10.48.
Speaker 5:No, no, no.
Speaker 3:It hasn't been.
Speaker 5:Not at this exact same time.
Speaker 4:That's what he said Late 8.
Speaker 5:Like 8.45 and later than that I got a watch that tells me the time, like that, the sun sets.
Speaker 7:That's usually what watches do, and when I first got it three weeks ago, it was 9.18 pm.
Speaker 5:Now I walk past the window at 918. It's dark.
Speaker 3:It's black yeah Outside.
Speaker 2:I hate that I feel like that's been earlier. I am liking it because now I don't have to fight with the two heathens. The sun's still awake. I don't give a shit. It's an hour past your bedtime.
Speaker 4:Nine o'clock.
Speaker 5:I want it to be dark Really oh yeah, I love the shit out of nine o'clock being light.
Speaker 2:I like having the extended time when you get off of work and you come home and like not feeling like it's immediately dark and time to go to bed. But it also makes it harder when you are trying to put those little knee-ins to bed. You're like but mommy, the sun's still awake. I don't care, your bedtime is eight o'clock. The sun's going to be up for another hour and a half.
Speaker 4:Yeah, your bedtime is 8 o'clock. The sun's going to be up for another hour and a half. Yeah, sorry, I'm a night owl. I love it when it's dark at 9.
Speaker 5:Number four I don't understand this one. I think it's backwards it says you don't want to leave the air conditioning. That's how you can tell that summer is ending. Feels backwards.
Speaker 2:No, because I think August is by far the worst.
Speaker 5:What is the hottest month?
Speaker 2:August, august. Most places it's August Is the worst and that's that it like. It hits that peak suffocating hotness and then it cools off.
Speaker 5:Peak suffocating hotness.
Speaker 3:Yeah, Florida is the worst in August.
Speaker 4:Also horrible Lord Farquaad On his way.
Speaker 5:I don't understand that one. Lord Farquaad, when do you shut your air conditioning off? Brayden?
Speaker 3:Oh, only when it's. Oh sorry.
Speaker 5:God damn, I don't Gotta be.
Speaker 4:October or something. Dude, I keep my house 68 at least until after my birthday. Yeah, I don't change. And even if I do change it, 69. And I keep it there. Yeah, we don't change ours much, jams.
Speaker 3:No, I have to have air on. I can't wait till I can open my windows. But I can't open my windows until it's like Finished 50.
Speaker 5:Below 50 until it's like finished 50 below 50. Yeah, I hate you so much that wouldn't fit amanda when can we turn the air conditioning off?
Speaker 2:act like we don't fucking run the air in january or december if there's too many people breathing too hard in our living room here's a better question when?
Speaker 4:When are you guys going to call Brayden to come get all of the air conditioners out of the windows? That's the way you should ask it.
Speaker 2:To be fair, there's only three.
Speaker 7:To be fair, I don't live here.
Speaker 5:Now for those of you watching we are not hillbillies that have just air conditioning units hanging out everywhere. Oh, no, absolutely. We live in an old house. We live in a house that requires one of our airs, and we do take it out November, holy hell, really.
Speaker 2:We wait until there's usually snow coming, can you?
Speaker 5:say Indian summer anymore.
Speaker 4:Huh, I don't know what that is. Can you say Indian summer? What's an Indian summer?
Speaker 2:Like the summer that comes back. Like it cools off and it, it says here comes fall, and then it comes back and says fuck you.
Speaker 3:I would assume you can't say that.
Speaker 5:You're going to have to bleep this out, indian giver.
Speaker 3:We can't bleep it out.
Speaker 5:We're live, you stupid idiot.
Speaker 4:We have a baseball team called that Indianapolis Indians. I think we can still say it.
Speaker 5:Yeah, but it's not Gifford, you weirdo. I think we can still say it Fucking quit with that shit.
Speaker 2:I feel like I should be wearing a crown.
Speaker 5:That is my new favorite sound effect. I hate it so much. This one also is another big one. Number five Halloween decorations hit the stores.
Speaker 2:There are Halloween decorations out right now. I was just saying there's a house that hasn't taken their Halloween decorations down from last year.
Speaker 4:I don't know if that could be a thing that summer's over Halloween decorations will be out next week.
Speaker 2:Lowe's has those out.
Speaker 4:I don't think you can they're out now. Just like Thanksgiving's right around the corner. They'll be Thanksgiving things out in October 3rd.
Speaker 5:Yeah, but they're starting to push those. They're making them look much longer. I hate it.
Speaker 2:Like everything is, I don't enjoy Because they're trying to expand upon like the buying season.
Speaker 4:I hate when they're playing Christmas music before Thanksgiving. That is my one of my biggest pet peeves.
Speaker 5:But I think it should be all summer, all the time, Memorial Day to Labor Day. When are you supposed to stop wearing white pants, Braden?
Speaker 4:Didn't you know you're not supposed to wear white after Labor Day. That's correct. After Labor Day, dukes of Hazzard? Baby, that's Burt Reynolds. He says it in the jail.
Speaker 5:I'm going to give you a chance to figure it out.
Speaker 4:I think he fucked that up Dukes of Hazzard, burt, reynolds. Burt Reynolds was never in Dukes of Hazzard and the new one in the movie with Sean William Scott and Johnny Knoxville Don't ever say anything so blasphemous again. I'll give you a second chance.
Speaker 5:I don't need it.
Speaker 4:All right.
Speaker 5:What do you have to say about it, James?
Speaker 4:I don't know. Why aren't you supposed to?
Speaker 2:um because that's so it's supposed to be that you are losing your summer tan, and so you're whiter and more washed out can you? I don't think you can say that either like like you know, when you lose your tan, you're paler just you're more pale.
Speaker 5:You know? Another indication that summer's over? I don't know. Tell us school buses those motherfuckers getting in the way oh god, I got stuck behind one going home tonight isn't that frustrating when you're driving behind a school bus and it stops every third house? Yes, can't those little bastards meet at a corner and get on one fucking time?
Speaker 3:That drives me so fucking crazy. It's so bad, I love my kids Like in town.
Speaker 5:There's no reason that they can't walk four houses down and all get in one spot.
Speaker 2:To be fair, our kids are probably the only ones that go to Western that have a bus stop.
Speaker 4:Everyone in this town, in Rusheville, should meet at the park, every single kid, that addition over there, that one over there, by the baseball park.
Speaker 2:On this side of 26, you got this side of 20, you actually divide it into four quadrants, that side of 26, 750, over you know four quadrants. That's what you get, but to be fair you'd have like seven buses show up.
Speaker 4:I don't care, you can schedule out your morning that they're getting there.
Speaker 3:How are there two buses just in the town of Rocheville?
Speaker 4:Why there's not there, absolutely is there, absolutely are. There's more than that, oh oh. You said that as if there's only one. Like the housing addition right next to us does not use the same bus as we do. They've got one.
Speaker 2:Across 26 is a different bus.
Speaker 5:This is exciting to our listeners that don't live here. Another thing it's a very important conversation School buses we talked about right A whole bunch.
Speaker 4:Matter of fact, you shut that off.
Speaker 5:Tailgates start coming back for football school events you ever been to a high school tailgate no.
Speaker 4:You haven't been. I've been to a college tailgate too.
Speaker 5:College tailgates. I've been to Purdue, it was fun.
Speaker 4:Those are better than NFL, I think.
Speaker 5:What do you mean why?
Speaker 4:I think it's a better atmosphere At, I think what do you mean?
Speaker 5:Why? Just it's a. I think it's a better atmosphere Atmosphere, atmosphere.
Speaker 4:Atmosphere.
Speaker 3:That's an atmosphere. Do people tailgate at NFL games? Yeah, they do, it's just it's, it's like, that's where.
Speaker 4:Indianapolis doesn't.
Speaker 5:Oh, okay, we haven't had a, because they tailgate everybody.
Speaker 4:The Bills fan base. They break tables like they will be in a parking lot and they're stacked like three tables and they'll jump through all of them, but college. I think there's so much more passion to their team.
Speaker 3:Once they lose, they can't go to the like.
Speaker 4:I think tailgating is the shit.
Speaker 3:Right? How many times can a college team lose before they can't go to the like? I think tailgating is the shit. Right? How many times can a college team lose before they can't go to the whatever bowl?
Speaker 5:Well, it depends on the season, but usually it's just one or two. I mean, if everybody's having a killer season, you better not lose once. Okay, jams, yeah, you know summer's over when the tan lines start going away.
Speaker 2:Shit I think. That's why you're not supposed to wear white.
Speaker 5:I'm a fan of tan lines.
Speaker 3:I'm going to go on record Didn't last like the weekend before Audrey went back to school. We got one day in the sun, that was it, and I got burnt so bad, so I didn't really get to get out in the sun at all. I didn't get to go to Susie's pool once Summer.
Speaker 5:I don't think that's true.
Speaker 3:No, it is.
Speaker 5:I don't think it is.
Speaker 3:Oh, I did go once. No, no, no, no At the beginning of summer.
Speaker 7:Yeah, we all went once.
Speaker 5:No, it was 100% last year.
Speaker 7:No, it was last year, yeah.
Speaker 3:I haven't your old man brain is struggling.
Speaker 2:I really didn't go this year, but I feel like that's because summer has been so much shorter, like there wasn't, there wasn't time.
Speaker 3:Well then, when I got a minute, it was always raining.
Speaker 5:That's called awkward Great, by the way.
Speaker 3:Sure Glad you found those.
Speaker 5:This one is the most. I don't know, I guess it's not the most anything. This one says number nine the house becomes quiet. You know summer's over. The house becomes quiet. You know summer's over. When the house becomes quiet Is your house ever quiet.
Speaker 4:I feel like houses are quieter in the summer because nobody's in them.
Speaker 2:Not true, those kids, you got to force them outside now, but I think like even when you're inside, you can hear them screaming and fighting outside. Oh yeah.
Speaker 7:I love hearing that.
Speaker 2:I do too. That's why I'm not like when they come home and they're not at practice or whatever. Go outside and play, go get your friends, go, come over, let's even though it's still school let's play.
Speaker 5:I can still remember getting home from school and my friends coming over.
Speaker 4:you know we would talk about what we were going to do while we were at school and then, when we got home, we talk about what we were going to do while we were at school and then, when we got home, just come over right when you get off the bus.
Speaker 5:I'll see you when you get there. That's exactly right. That's exactly right. Now we walked home.
Speaker 3:Did you do that with people around here?
Speaker 5:Oh yeah, I showed them boobs on the computer. Yeah, he was selling them. Boob views on our computer.
Speaker 4:And then went through the window because they weren't allowed in the house. Then when I got a couple viruses, nobody was allowed anymore. So I said I got a window right there and I'll just bring the monitor right to you. Look at him, Do you like me?
Speaker 5:yet Am I the coolest kid in the neighborhood? Yeah. And then his grandmother showed him where we kept the guns and he pointed them at his brother. Yeah.
Speaker 3:He's like.
Speaker 5:You want to be my friend, I can show you some boobs. Hey, we got a new follower, do you like?
Speaker 4:boobs.
Speaker 5:Let's hope that this one doesn't take it away. Okay, I'm just saying why are you being awkward?
Speaker 4:Put a comment on the video while you followed us, if you really are a fan.
Speaker 5:No, don't do that, don't do that because you'll probably say something mean.
Speaker 2:It'll hurt our feelings Jams.
Speaker 5:How do you feel about seasonal Starbucks?
Speaker 2:Don't give a fuck, oh that should have been my answer. Summer's over, when pumpkin spice comes back.
Speaker 5:Pumpkin spice is nothing Isn't pumpkin spice overplayed.
Speaker 2:Yes, yes, yes, but it's still it's.
Speaker 4:Is hazelnut a fall flavor.
Speaker 2:No, you can get that all the time. It is very like fall-y it's very similar.
Speaker 3:I'm actually excited to see what Seven Brews flavors are going to be Also the leaves changing.
Speaker 5:Well, that's definitely the end. Yeah, because, but when you see, like we already have. We already have leaves coming down.
Speaker 4:That's what I'm saying, though, when you see, like that used to even in the movies like a Hallmark movie, when the first leaf falls off the tree. That's how you know summer's over.
Speaker 3:That's the end. Something's coming, or the first leaf turns like yellow.
Speaker 4:I love the sound of crunchy leaves when you walk on them.
Speaker 2:When you have to rake them out of our giant yard, when Braxton Marie has to rake them.
Speaker 5:I was driving last fall and I think I text Amanda when this happened. I was driving last fall and there was a car in front of me and you know how you rake your leaves out to the curb, mm-hmm, this car in front of me was driving along and he was getting close over there. And this car in front of me was driving along and he was getting close over there and, just like my parents used to tell me, I watched a kid pop up out of those leaves and he was in the middle and I was sick and because I was like, oh my God, this kid has no idea how close he was to death, oh God.
Speaker 5:You're never supposed to drive through a pile of fucking leaves. You're not supposed to drive through leaves ever.
Speaker 3:That's the dumbest thing you can do.
Speaker 5:The last bullet point on how you know summer is about to end. You realize how poor you are.
Speaker 4:Summer's over. Last week, then Summer was over a month ago.
Speaker 5:I think that has to go back to the school surprise Summer's over every other Thursday.
Speaker 4:Summer was over. Shit summer was over in March, I don't know, dude, summer never hit.
Speaker 2:I think for you specifically February, Summer never started.
Speaker 7:When you went back, right yeah.
Speaker 2:It was February when you started making extra house payments.
Speaker 5:Is that really a bullet point? Our follower left. Oh okay, we had a follower and now they're gone Because I'm broke.
Speaker 3:I'm sorry. I looked at you weirdly because I said how does he know we got a new follower and it's just a person watching.
Speaker 5:Oh, that's a person watching. And then they left, and then they left, yeah.
Speaker 3:Oh, I see it now.
Speaker 5:Oh, we have another one Welcome.
Speaker 4:Hi Don't leave.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's why I was like they didn't necessarily follow us.
Speaker 5:Okay, I thought that was followers. Okay, I'm with you okay we've not gotten any new followers that's still at zero.
Speaker 5:No, we don't know if we had leanne, we would be getting new followers she'll be back next week, by the way, uh, but we're still releasing this on youtubecom forward slash at tgc sod, and you can listen to it anywhere that you listen to podcasts. That's kind of fun. All of the places, all of the places. So yeah, you realize you're poor because you've spent your money on vacations, school supplies, school supplies, school clothes. How much did we spend on school? No, don't answer.
Speaker 2:You don't want the answer. You know what.
Speaker 4:I think I do Because we spent $380.
Speaker 5:I really don't. We have four kids. You spent $1,000. I'll be sick. No, no, I said I don't want to know, and I mean it. I don't want to know.
Speaker 3:Amanda said no.
Speaker 2:I was good. Yeah, let's see if we can get out of this.
Speaker 5:Let's see if we can get out of this.
Speaker 2:It's the most wonderful time Of this goddamn podcast Yeehaw.
Speaker 3:Did you really think this was going to be a feel-good segment?
Speaker 2:Are you insane like me? Welcome to Relationship Advice with Ams and Jams. Well, you asked for our advice. We just hope you're ready for brutal honesty and brutal it shall be.
Speaker 5:Dear Amss and jams. My husband keeps hitting on young women just doing their jobs. Ew, he has this delusion that they're flirting with him when they are just being polite to not lose their jobs. Jenny does that too. He is not familiar or friendly with young men doing their jobs. Obviously, get Get it done, boy. After he hit on a waitress at our local diner in front of our kids, despite me telling him to leave her alone, I was fed up. We got into an argument in the car and I hate to argue in front of the kids. I told him that he is becoming the creepy old guy that young women make fun of. They don't want to be hit on by a man old enough to be their father. Ams or jams. How do I get him to see he's becoming creepy? Or is it me?
Speaker 2:I don't think that's your problem.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:You are watching your husband hit on younger women in front of you and your kids. I think that's what you should be more worried about, not whether or not it makes those women uncomfortable.
Speaker 5:I think one man's being friendly is another woman's being hit on, or a man's got confidence.
Speaker 2:It sounds like they've discussed this and he says, no, they're into me.
Speaker 5:Or she thinks, or she makes up stories like I do.
Speaker 2:I would say the same thing. I would say oh no, they're into me.
Speaker 5:Or she thinks, or she makes up stories like I do, I would say the same thing. I would say oh no she's totally into me.
Speaker 3:You joke, but you don't actually like. Hit on these women.
Speaker 2:You also understand that strippers don't actually like you.
Speaker 4:Oh, I bet this guy would go in a strip club. Call his friends Dude I made it this one loves me she loves me.
Speaker 3:He loves me.
Speaker 4:Ambrosia tells me I'm real handsome. She only dances for me it's only. She said she's only doing this until we can be, together.
Speaker 2:She even gives me a discount.
Speaker 4:She said she only clocks in when I get there.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so what do we think about this one? You need to leave his ass. Leave him.
Speaker 5:Yeah, they're married with children. So I think ass because leave him. Yeah, they're married with children.
Speaker 3:You think I think he just maybe he's a creepy old guy.
Speaker 2:Go find another or he's I think he's being disrespectful to his wife is what it sounds like now also the problem what is this gentleman saying to these ladies?
Speaker 3:exactly enough to make her uncomfortable to make who uncomfortable the wife maybe she's a bitch, maybe she's just.
Speaker 2:That means it's okay to be, that's okay for him to be flirty with the girls.
Speaker 4:How do you know he's being flirty? That's what I said. They disgusted and agreed. It sounds like.
Speaker 7:Because he didn't deny.
Speaker 2:He didn't and what she said. It doesn't ever sound like he's denied flirting with these girls. He just says, no, they were flirting with me. Hey, if you go to a restaurant and the server smiles at you, it's her job. Oh yeah, Alright, she doesn't want your number.
Speaker 4:I made a bunch of six-year-olds love me. Yeah, alright, I get it. I'm sorry what and when I was working at the bar six-year-old lady.
Speaker 7:I promised you it sounded like six, sorry, sorry, sorry, 60. I promise you it sounded like sex, sorry, sorry sorry, sorry.
Speaker 4:60 year olds said some pretty off-color shit to me.
Speaker 3:Then he was like, while I was working at the bar, what the fuck?
Speaker 5:Dear Ams and Jams, my husband and I have been together for 10 years, nearly 11. And we have two kids, or, I'm sorry, we have two kids, two and four years of age. We always had a good relationship, always communicating, being very loving towards each other, and he was always loyal, not even watching porn out of respect for me. Liar, you know what?
Speaker 4:Seems like you're gullible miss.
Speaker 2:He probably just listens to it like I do, like a respectable person.
Speaker 5:That's right. Except you're listening to ours. They don't put that shit in books Uncalled for. We shared each other's passcodes. He is just a great husband. However, my husband works a lot more since getting a new job and he has been stressed lately. I try to help him but there's not much I can do.
Speaker 5:I thought he would be okay, but a week ago he didn't come home on time. When he did, it was late and he went straight to bed. Oh yeah, he went straight to bed. That morning he was unusually quiet, unlike our usual chattiness every morning, because neither of us work mornings. So I thought he had a bad day and asked him what was wrong. Immediately he admitted to a one night stand. Oh, like it was quick. I was just surprised at first.
Speaker 5:The story was that he was out with his male co-workers. He never really drank, but he did. But he did to relax due to his stress, and his co-workers encouraged him. He wasn't borderline drunk, but he told me he ended up having sex with a woman who joined their get together. He said it was a moment of weakness and he wasn't thinking of the consequences until afterwards. I don't think you can do that. Think about the consequences before he admitted he had no excuses. He said he felt guilty because he never thought he would do something like this. He said he had to tell me so he could fix what he did. No, he promised to get therapy and do whatever it took to make things right.
Speaker 5:Even letting me look through his phone, I tripped and our clothes fell off, I don't know. I quickly told him to leave and I didn't want to speak with him. I was heartbroken, disappointed and cried all night. I don't know. I quickly told him to leave and I didn't want to speak with him. I was heartbroken, disappointed and cried all night. I don't know what to do. I want to divorce because I have a zero tolerance policy for cheating, as you should.
Speaker 5:He knows this, but we've been together for almost 11 years, doesn't matter. He's never done anything like this before and I love him dearly. However, how could I ever let him even touch me again? I told my mom since I needed advice, but she says I'm wrong for wanting to split up my family over one mistake that he admitted. Oh, that's bullshit. She said it could have been an affair and he could have not said anything. But he did and I should try to forgive, she said if I did love him I wouldn't just leave him without trying Ams and jams. I just don't know he had sex with another woman.
Speaker 3:And he absolutely did. And let me tell you what really happened, because he started getting weird before. That is, they were having their little rendezvous, ok, and you didn't catch on to it. You did notice he was acting a little different. You didn't catch on to it. You did notice he was acting a little different. You didn't catch on to it. She broke up with him, and now it's a problem because he has guilt Leave him. You do not. No, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 5:Anything else.
Speaker 3:No.
Speaker 5:Anything else.
Speaker 3:Just like leave him, Because he let you look through his phone, because he deleted everything.
Speaker 4:If he has an iPhone, go to the storage. That's where the messages are.
Speaker 2:Here I. So he says it's not someone that he works with.
Speaker 3:Bullshit.
Speaker 2:So here's the thing you have to you have to self-evaluate. If you have a zero policy for cheating, you're never going to be able to forgive him and your marriage will never work. If you can't forgive him, you cannot move forward. Now, if you want to continue to work on things, you have to have complete restart and you can't keep going back to it and holding it over his head. But you also have to be able to trust that he's not going to do it again, which is where that kind of comes hard.
Speaker 4:So you've got to do some soul searching. She said gums hard. You are such a fucking child. That was the best thing that you've said on this podcast ever. A lot of good information there and he ruined it. He ruined it. That was the best thing you ever said.
Speaker 5:So what's your advice?
Speaker 2:It's like advice that I've given somebody else. If you can forgive and move forward, then you can do that. I disagree. But if you jams, can't, if you, if you, if you know in your heart you're never going to be able to move past it, then you can't fix it are we not giving him credit for coming right out and saying no, I no?
Speaker 2:we're not giving him credit. No, I do and I think it could be. I think there is a scenario where it could be a one mistake and his entire life is changing and falling apart and maybe it's a midlife crisis. But that doesn't mean that you guys can't grow and work on things moving forward. But I think it comes back to her on whether or not she will ever be able to move past it. Back to her on whether or not she will ever be able to move past it Brayden.
Speaker 5:How many cameras do you think there was Six?
Speaker 4:At least I didn't cop to it for two years and I was on a goddamn camera. I was on camera opening and shutting her front door.
Speaker 3:Like hours later.
Speaker 4:I was on camera two different times when I got there and when I left.
Speaker 3:Oh shit, I'm right. Just so you know.
Speaker 4:Okay, it's not end all be all with that. Amanda said something thought provoking. The dude admitted to it.
Speaker 5:He came right out. She didn't say did you cheat on me? She said, honey, what's wrong?
Speaker 4:He said I slept with another woman. Yeah, I bet he said just like that. She said leave.
Speaker 5:You say that with a straight face, big boy.
Speaker 4:Dear.
Speaker 5:Ams and Jams, I didn't give you the advice. I didn't. Dear Ams and Jams, my husband and I have been married for many years and he absolutely loves animals. This one is sad. He rescued a dog about three years ago and, while I admire his compassion, this situation has become really challenging. Does the dog lick the inside of his mouth? The dog is very old, deaf and requires an insane amount of attention.
Speaker 4:That's because he hates you.
Speaker 5:His name is Braden.
Speaker 4:He wants to get this dog Go ahead.
Speaker 5:Sorry. He needs to be by my husband's side constantly, to the point where he struggles to even go to work. This has been going on for a while and the dog's health has deteriorated significantly. He's on strong medication for pain, can barely walk and doesn't seem to be happy at all. Lately, my husband has confided in me that he's been having a really tough time. He misses hanging out with friends and he's having a tough time at work and generally feels overwhelmed. I genuinely believe that it might be better for both him and the dog if he were put to sleep. I think we're talking about the dog, not him. However, I'm terrified of bringing this up because I feel like it might lose him. I might lose him just for suggesting it. Should I tell him how I feel about the dog? Ams and jams, you seem to love animals. What would you do? Jamie hates dogs.
Speaker 4:She tried to kill mine. I don't hate dogs. That was the first strike to me hating her you said we can kill him for a discount.
Speaker 5:To be fair you had a plan worked out.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I did, you also tried to run chico over I did not try to run chico over, you tried to kill chico.
Speaker 2:No, brianna told me about all the times you guys were driving together and that you swerved at him and said, damn, I missed. I am living my life that is not true.
Speaker 5:Now let's put chico in the passenger seat and do it with her epitome epitome of honesty, she's going to try to kill this dog.
Speaker 2:No, you can't kill it, so listen as someone who has a background with animals and everybody loves their dogs. A dog living on pain meds and he can't see he does not have a good quality of life. It is time to put him down.
Speaker 5:It is better for him. But if this dog is like wandering up and like his happiness, is this owner?
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 5:Jamie's about to try to circle this back to coach.
Speaker 2:No, it's not going to work. He can't. He lives on pain meds.
Speaker 5:But he lives happily on pain meds Stoned If it will.
Speaker 3:I mean, I had a bum leg and couldn't jump on the fucking couch Every time.
Speaker 4:I put him on there.
Speaker 3:Every time he tried, he'd run fucking face into it, that's that's pretty small.
Speaker 2:He could sit anywhere else besides the couch. But this is a general quality of life. He's had a good run. You've made the last few years of his life really good. Give him some rest. Homeboy needs some rest.
Speaker 5:Let him die in your arms. Have you ever had a dog?
Speaker 2:die in your arms. You take him to the vet and they euthanize him and you can hold them as they do that.
Speaker 5:Stop it. It's miserable. I took mamas. It was miserable.
Speaker 2:I took mama's. It was horrible when you get them euthanized. You can stay in there with them.
Speaker 4:I did. I remember Coach after he got hit, though I couldn't go. When he was all. He had cords all in him and his arm was wrapped up and he was so doped up his eyes were going two different ways, but he recognized that we were all there and he tried to move. It's almost like it happened yesterday. He recognized all of our voices and our smells and he tried to get to us, but he didn't know where we were. And I remember Tracy was wearing glasses, like she was in a movie.
Speaker 7:She was crying yeah, but it was.
Speaker 5:How long has Coach been gone? Now you were 15, so we're talking 11 years.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 7:Probably more. It's got to be more than that yeah, because Andre's almost 10.
Speaker 3:It's got to be more than that.
Speaker 4:I'll be 27 in October.
Speaker 3:Oh my God, Andre's going to be 10.
Speaker 2:What's a great turn of events. What's our advice for this?
Speaker 4:I don't know what you do with this dog, dude.
Speaker 2:He needs to put down.
Speaker 4:You can't be selfish, but animals. All you can do is be selfish.
Speaker 2:It's not being selfish. It's not being selfish at all. I promise you that he.
Speaker 4:No, I'm saying keeping him alive.
Speaker 2:Keeping him alive is selfish yeah how you say it.
Speaker 4:But how you say it. But it doesn't feel selfish to this guy. He loves this dog.
Speaker 3:Okay, but is he going to start saying I don't want to go to?
Speaker 5:work. Is it possible that the dog really isn't as sick as this woman is portraying?
Speaker 2:it.
Speaker 4:Yeah, because Coach wasn't.
Speaker 2:Yeah, she just wants him gone, not if he's living on pain meds.
Speaker 3:He smells funny Every time you touched him, he bit you Every time you touched him, you broke up his happy home. You guys would try to get him off the bed. Brayden used to do this when he got him off the bed. That's not true.
Speaker 4:Coach, never bit me a day in my life. Bullshit. That's not true. Coach never even tried to bite me a day in his life.
Speaker 3:Not a day Now you have lost your pee-picking mind.
Speaker 4:I don't remember him trying to bite Brayden. You have lost your pee. I would look at Coach at bedtime and he would get his fat ass off that couch and he would hobble back. Don't do this. Don't do this.
Speaker 3:Okay, don't do this.
Speaker 4:You will not defile his memory. He was my goddamn pride and joy.
Speaker 3:Yes, he was.
Speaker 5:Oh, he was so old and decrepit. His white fur was yellow.
Speaker 4:He was like an old smoked in apartment he'd been smoking, he survived so there was one night I left him outside for hours when there was snow on the ground and I went and got him and he, he just laid there. He was like this is it? I'm'm going to at least look at the scenery. And I scooped him up and I had that little space heater and I picked him up, like I do Eddie, and I put his little paws up and I was just all right, buddy, let's just get warm, let's get.
Speaker 4:I put a towel around me and then a blanket and I put it around the heater and he was growling but he was like thank you, he was angry, but he never if there was any, he was angry that day, my friends, he was angry but he was the best boy.
Speaker 3:Best boy.
Speaker 4:Shut up.
Speaker 3:He was so good, he was such a good dog.
Speaker 5:She's patronizing you now you know what time it is.
Speaker 4:I hate Jamie and I love Coach. It's time to talk about one thing I love.
Speaker 5:Brayden, you're first. One thing you love, one thing you hate.
Speaker 4:I love when people unanimously love my girlfriend.
Speaker 5:That is good.
Speaker 4:And I hate my wife.
Speaker 5:Wait until you can get your ex to love your girlfriend.
Speaker 4:Never will it ever happen. That's not going to happen in your life. My mom still hates you. It's been three decades.
Speaker 3:Let it go, Fuck man.
Speaker 4:It's been three decades.
Speaker 5:She is a part of my life I hardly remember. Honey something you love and something you hate. Oh, you love very short podcasts.
Speaker 2:I do love short podcasts, that's my second love.
Speaker 5:I love little tiny ducks.
Speaker 4:Every duck. If you're going to say it, say it right.
Speaker 2:I love watching kids get back to being kids and I'm seeing it more and more now. I don't even think I told you this when I came to practice one day this week. There were two teams practicing here that we had to walk past and then they were by a baseball field and in the baseball field there was a fucking horde of kids, all ages, from older to really young, out there playing kickball, and they were siblings of all the kids that were playing football. But instead of just sitting there on phones and tablets and stuff, somebody said, hey, I've got a ball, let's go play a game. And they were playing in the dirt and running around being kids. And then Piper's stupid little self got one of those little tackling pads and wore it on her back like she was Jesus.
Speaker 3:Oh, my God.
Speaker 4:You could have just said it was a backpack.
Speaker 3:It couldn't have been a goddamn cape.
Speaker 5:It had to be Jesus. No, because the arms stick out. She was about to be crucified. She was nailed to the cross.
Speaker 2:I mean, golly, that's what it looked like. We could have found another comparison. And then she would yell one, two, three, tackle, and run and jump on it like a ridiculous little human. So I love kids getting back to playing.
Speaker 4:We won't be playing that anymore.
Speaker 5:Well, no, I didn't mean it that way. She was running and jumping on it.
Speaker 3:Hurt. What do you hate? What do I?
Speaker 2:hate A whole bunch of stuff. Mm-hmm, a whole bunch of stuff. Just one I hate that there is no adjustment to like your work schedule and everything else going on. Oh, it's football season, cool, you work till five, you have until five, 40 to get a 40 minute drive done, and then you have to be at practice.
Speaker 7:Yeah.
Speaker 5:And good luck, because, if anything, it's a little bit of your life, baby, right there. It's ruined, but you miss it when it's not there.
Speaker 2:Oh, I love it. I love. To me. That's what's important. The rest of the stuff is less important.
Speaker 4:You know who else loves it? Alexis, she loves football practice. Really it is. She showed up unannounced at the last one Unannounced. I had no idea she was coming. It made my day better. Oh, it was so cool. You know how much I would get bitched at for football practice? I do.
Speaker 5:We remember. We were told you weren't allowed to come.
Speaker 4:You didn't even ask me if you could.
Speaker 2:Oh bitch, I don't need to. Then she came and just screamed the entire time.
Speaker 5:Jam something you love and something you hate.
Speaker 3:I can't think of a love. I hate unwanted guests.
Speaker 4:Where at yes, like at a hotel.
Speaker 3:Yes, yeah Boy.
