All right, girl, we have been Our last podcast was
with the Captain, which we are so so great made
for him spending some time with us, especially right before

he took time out and couldn't have been more generous
and sweet.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
We let him. Hope you guys got a chance to
listen to that.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
If not, please do give advice on parenting and his
experience and you know, the league for as long as
he had and so much. By the way, I'm so
disappointed I didn't get his walk up song. Like of
course I knew that, I just couldn't think of it.
In the moment I got the.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Clip was so funny.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
By the way, he's adorable, all right, sister, So we
had a lot of milestones for you and the babes.
We'll start with that mom first, Max first Christmas.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
And Max first Christmas.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Had tell everybody where you just came from.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
I just came from. I'm trying.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I'm looking at this text chain with me, you, Greg
and Kevin because the boys just wrote on it, and
I don't understand what they're writing about anyways. Okay, so
five six, seven eight, I just came from our house.
We had our first swimming lesson with Mac and our
little family friend Teddy Purcell and his wife Alex and
their baby Theo. Theo is like three weeks older than Mac.
(02:42):
So we had a swim in structure come to our house.
Daddy heated the pool really really warm, like bathwater, because
that was a big deal for cheapy pants and cheap back.
Now this is a great question we're just talking. I said,
are you going to turn off the heat in the pool?
And he goes, well, I don't know, because like do
I like if I but then if I turn it off,
(03:02):
then I got a heat it back up.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Next week for the next swimming lesson.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
So you know in your house, how like we shut
our air off. You and I like to we yell
the boys we shut the air off, But they say
a comfortable temp is seventy five. So you don't turn
it all the way off and then have to recool
the house off.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
What's a good tempt for the pool?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
So you don't shut it off, it gets cold and
you have to heat it all up again.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
I don't know, but your house is seventy five. That
feels very No.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
It's not seventy five if you leave and go out
of town, Like, I don't just shut my air off.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
I turn it on seventy five. Oh not me.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
I'm shutting everything off I have because I'm also I'm
not a hypochondcontract when it comes to health stuff. I'm
OCD when it comes to anything in my house, Like
I will turn all the Christmas lights off.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
I will shut down like all these lights like whatever.
It's probably why I got robbed off.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Yeah, because I'm afraid that there's gonna be some crier
spark that goes off. I even the other day had
lit a candle and there was like this box next
to it. I thought, I wonder if like an aert flame,
like a little spark jumps out and then it's gonna
like the whole I just I get freaked out about
like electrical things. Never you, guys, never ever ever leave
your dryer on when you leave the house. Ever, Like
(04:08):
those are those things that like you hear about. Now
back to the pool temp. I don't know, girl, I
have not heated that pool up and I don't know ever, yeah,
like it's so expensive, so I don't heat it up.
And then I lost my you know what on Steve
the other day because I saw heat rising out of
the hot tub and we'd been gone for hours. I
was like, did you like the hot tab on? And
he's like, uh no, it's just because the air's cold
(04:30):
out there. He's like, you psycho.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
But I don't want to be paying for things that
we don't need, so I'm cheap.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Mack said, bath water, So you have to do it
for those young babies so they'll stick in there.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Anyways, he did really good.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
She even like blew on his face so he would
close his mouth because Max is a bit of a
mouth for there, he's always like.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
So closed his mouth, dunked him under he was fine.
He got up and he was like looter around and
we're like whoo yeah, yeah, ye yeah, and then it
was like the five seconds later.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
But then it's embarrassing because like, our friend's baby didn't
cry and Max crying.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
And it's like, what come on, buddy. I wonder about
what Nick Saban say about that. Wait, it's actually a.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Really interesting thing because I was telling you earlier when
we were catching up because we hadn't which normally we
don't do before a podcast.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
But whatever.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
I went to meet up with a couple of my
girlfriends and they both have two year olds that are
like a right around this well obviously around the same age. Jesus,
I'm gonna blame the cough medicine for that explanation, do it.
They were born around the same time whatever, a couple
of weeks apart, and I was thinking to myself, I
didn't tell them this, but like, what like if one's
more advanced than the other one, or one's crying and
one's not, like I would be very competitive with that.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Well I know, and you know how they say, like
each baby is different, but it's.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Hard not to be like Mac get it together, crying
what's wrong with you?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Like Nick Saban will never come for a home visit
if you're crying.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
My gosh, Nick Saban was crying yesterday.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Poor guy Alabama losing the playoff round so they can't
advance the National Championship Game semi finals.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
For those of you available for comment and concern, that
was quite a game. I got to say.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
It was like everything you want it to be right,
like where it's like it comes down to the last drive,
the last second, like when they kept alternating and taking timeouts.
For those of you that don't know it's Michigan against Alabama,
you've got these powerhouse programs and like from the onset,
I thought that that game was going to be run
away by Michigan because they were getting after Alabama's quarter
like sack five sacks or whatever it was in the
first half. But it ended up being a great game.
(06:27):
Any who, And Washington that ended up being a great
game too, Washington Texans at time. Yeah, okay, so Mac
had a great first swim lesson q T cutes. I
also keep taking with you that this kid is like
fifteen years old already. Do you think he's grown up?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Like?
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Has it gone by fast?
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Well, it's kind of coincided with my football season. And
you know, my husband said yesterday, he goes, the season's
gone fast. I'm like, has it has it? It's like
some days it does, some days it doesn't. Now that
we're you know, we always said when we get to December,
it flies because the holidays, and then once you hit January,
it's like the playoffs, singer having a time and it
just flies. So I guess that would mean the six
(07:05):
months of my baby's life have gone fast, which is
kind of a bummer. And I will reintroduce myself to
him in February. Hi, I'm your mom.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
It's me.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Hi.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
That's what I want to talk to you about me. Oh, yes,
say go.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
So we I was having a bit to drink the
other night and wanted to call Chris and Steve and
FaceTime him and see what they were up to. And
I didn't make a big deal about it on the phone,
but I thought about it.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
We both said.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
We weren't going to watch it until we went to
the show. But when I called the christ and Steve, oh,
I thought I did, maybe it's a cough medicine, Because
I was like, am I going to go to this
movie and you go, no, oh my god, Ryan said
you said it?
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Ryan said it? You said it on here.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Okay, I don't recall that one hundred percent said it.
I would wait to watch it with Aaron. Well, I
became Aaron because I, by the way, I could one
hundred percent have went to that concert, and I know
the one that was out of town.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
So we're even. I don't remember saying that, but okay, regardless,
we're all fine. Thank you, Brian. Yes, I wanted to
see it off. Okay, you've never typed faster in that
little side conversation. Yeah, she said that. Help me out.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
So anyways, I FaceTime you guys, and you guys are
so cute with your glasses of wine and you're watching it.
So my sister we went and walked the dog and
Ken's like, do you want to watch it? I said
I do, So we went upstairs. Chris, it took us
three nights to watch it. We only watched an hour
every night.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
How could you put the remote down? I stayed up.
I was like, I got to finish this thing.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
I think I wanted to spread out the happiness. It's
like what I did was Shit's creek I still haven't
watched the finale of Shit's Creek because I just wanted
to be like it to continue. So I haven't even
seen the wedding yet. Let's stay on tas Okay, that's
(08:55):
our Tailor schorl concert.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Again.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
We have not gone to the show yet. That is
going to be part of the conversation. Which one are
we going to London?
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Yes, I see London and I see France. I see
Taylor in our pants. That sounds bad, that's crazy. Anyways,
go what did you think? I have so many observations.
Go okay, well, as evidenced by the seventy five videos
that Steve took of me.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
But I had the best time because she so My.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Affinity with Taylor dates back to I'll abbreviate the story,
so not everyone's yawning by the end of it. My niece,
she was sick. All she wanted to do was go
to the Taylor Swift concert. She gets out of the hospital,
we take her to the Taylor Swift concert. I mean
this is fifteen twenty years ago now, one of her
first concerts, and I just remember sobbing because Alyssa was
singing every word to the song and it made her
so happy, and I was like, I don't even know
(09:45):
who Taylor Swift is, but I just love her because
Alyssa loves her. And then after that we all know
that Aaron and I have a great admiration and love
for her because she's just joy And that's my word
for twenty twenty four. She's just joyful that And I
know not every day of her life is, but I'm
saying she exudes this sentiment of just happiness and I
like that, and she's a little ray of sunshine and
(10:06):
I'm into it. So when I was watching her concert,
I just was like, how can you not love this?
How can you not love her? And she's like and
then she picked up the guitar and then we're playing
the piano, and it's like to think about her writing
all of these songs, And then I was thinking about
Jake Gillenhan. I was thinking about the songs that she's
writing about him, and I'm thinking about John Mayer, and
I'm thinking about the guys that she wrote these songs
for some of them. And then I'm thinking about like
(10:28):
the drama of like we were never getting back together
or calmed down or all these different things, and I'm like,
I want to know the backstory. Sometimes she talks about
the backstory of these things, like yeah, the other but
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
She uses a lot of big words. I don't know.
Oh yeah, okay, like what you want to go over
some of them?
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Now, No, Klara's got a lot of words in it
that I'm just like, what, Like it's great though, like
I fink she's so smart.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Yes, she's just really joyful.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
And I couldn't stop, like I just had to get
up off of the sofa thing and just start dancing.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Was it that you were dancing too?
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (11:02):
What was that one? All of them? I was literally
dancing to almost all of them. Yeah, And then Kenna
and I were saying, but oh so sorry, go ahead god,
oh no, no, no, you're good.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
I was just there was some songs of like different
albums because obviously it's the Era's concert was some of them.
I didn't know those songs, so I did fast forward
like a little bit through them because I was like,
I'm gonna have to revisit this song when I know
what it's about.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
But that's all we felt that way about Folklore. Ken
and I kept saying it was so emotional. We were like,
how did we miss this album? And that the next
day Ken was listening to it in like our guest
room at the house, and like I was like, what
are you listening to? And she goes folklore, she goes,
I've never gotten to bed happier. The one with the
house that she was in, right, yes, yes.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
The other one? Uh oh yeah? What was this song
on the insta story? You did? Oh?
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Shake it off? But you know my motto is shake
it off and calm down. I mean there's never been
true a word spoken.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
But any who, but yeah, it's so weird that when
we go to her show, she's gonna let us come
on stage, and I know you need to come.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
That's so crazy. I can't wait. I can't wait.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
This is obviously not the truth of the she has manifesting.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
We're putting it out in the universe, right.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
So a couple of things I took away from it.
One was I've always loved her because of just not her.
I'm not the best dancer ever out of you talking
about I'm not.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Amazing you guys dancers.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Anyways, I loved it because she always like said, like,
you know, I don't even know if she said it.
I read in the Time magazine article that she said
she wanted to get better. She hired this woman, Mandy Moore,
who I actually know and used on Dancing with the
Starship padagraph my contemporary.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
No.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
I got to tell you, my sister and I were
watching it, and my sister is a professional dancer. She
was feeling herself like she was like so comfortable in
her body. I've never seen more strutting in my entire life.
When I was where the hell did I just do
a game? Where was this weekend Tampa? Were walking into
the meeting room and I was pretending I was in
glitterly like.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Pink boots, don't believe it with them, and she was strutting.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Also, the memory with all the songs, the memory with
the dance, I'm blown away.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
I am fascinated.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
And I need to know if somewhere she has a prompter,
because okay, that's what I want to know.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
And it's not that she wants This is another reason
when you write your own shit. She's like, uh, of
course I remember.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Llais, but after all the other things you're doing right, Also,
I need to know where.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
For what she might call it?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Oh, my god, Steve is freaking out, okay about contamination.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Okay, I love him.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Contamination of what for formula? So I love him so much.
She's worried about his best friend. This is what he's
setting me in the middle of this podcast. Sorry for
it interrupting.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Just wanted to make sure you are aware of the
six hundred and seventy five tho thirty bottles of baby
formula that were recalled. And I want to make sure
Mac isn't drinking. I love him so much. I love him,
so he was calling. That's why he just call his
best friend.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
It is his best friend. So okay.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Yeah, the memory. Also, there's no way in hell she
can sing every single note. I'm wondering, how do they
know to turn her mic on on the parts that
she is? How it is that all this worry shake
it off?
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Yeah, chick, I was out of breath for the one
song I was dancing and I wasn't even singing.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
I went to be like, hey, how's it going. It's me.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
I'm the problem. I can't breathe like you also are sick?
I mean no, but she had to think she was
sick some nice too. Also, what is the drill with
the costumes. I feel like she stands there and everybody
has a job and they're like, step into the boots.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Okay, we got you go, here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
And then fascinating and we will turn the page on
our Taylor Swift conversation only because there's a lot to
get to. But I mean I could do this all
day obviously. Yeah, I want to know what questions you
guys have. So here's what we should do. We should
make a really long list of questions and if entire
Travis the opportunity, we will at our dinner party that
we're inviting ourselves to that she will be at, we're
(15:06):
going to play a game. We're going to fold up
all the questions and we're gonna put them in a hat,
and we're gonna have her draw out the questions and
answer them for us. She doesn't know how much fun
she's gonna have with us yet, but this is going
to be at dinner part.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Oh my god, I.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Did you see this craze of craze let's take it
easy that the dollar bills are on the table and
you're blindfolded and there's mouse traps on the table. Did
you see this? Game that people are playing. Oh, okay,
so I have no life. I don't have a life either,
but this I spread out Taylor Swift's concerts, so I
have a light. Okay, fair enough, But I've been sick
for the last two days, so I've been consuming way
(15:40):
too much on my phone and video, which is another
thing I want to get to. It's part of my
outlist Instagram time enough, enough is enough.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
But this, I was happy about this game.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Let's say you have, like I don't know, ten people over,
doesn't even have to be ten blindfolds. The guests put
on the table a bunch of money and mouse traps,
and you've got to feel your way around. Oh I know,
but that's the funny part. It's really great. I think
I'm gonna do that. Somebody could really get hurt. Oh
my god, someone could also get really rich. So I'm
(16:12):
willing to take the risk. You start throwing a hundred
dollars bills on those tables in a non scantily clad outfit,
I'm jumping off.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Can I wear the pink glittery boots and saunter like
Taylor does? It's incredible?
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Incredible? Sure can't.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Okay, So my last thing is this about the joy?
Everyone in that crowd had pure joy on their face.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
It was so lovely. It was just lovely. I'm excited.
I'm excited about asking her all these questions. I'm excited
about coming up on the stage and being.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Like, you need to calm down.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Yes, I'm manifesting all of our trip to London to
go see her.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Yeah, we want to go to London and say, oh wow,
crack open a cold one, say a while.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
I wish I could have one. All right, it's sparkling water.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Oh okay, Now, ladies and gentlemen, we have a lot
to get to become the jurys of the jury sustained, overruled.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
I always have to think about that. I was like, okay, overall,
that's again.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
That's another one, like like that's part of our someone
she's like congressman.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Oh yeah. Like she's a good little theatric. She's cute.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
She is she's also like performing in a Broadway play.
I like that if I were a man. I never
realized how much I like that song.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
I'm into it. Okay, So Max, how about.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
The sexual one with all her dancers and their bombs

And by the way, don't tell forehead. Tell me to smile.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
I'm hungry, does it say yelp? And I asked for
a review. No, I don't need your commentary right now, sir.
I'm just here trying to get somebody to eat because
I've just been working all day.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
But thanks send me.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
And I was standing name drop with Baker Mayfield before
the game, talking because I hadn't seen him for the
past year, standing.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
There covering him.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
This guy was like, Aaron, come over here, I want
a picture. And I was just like, am I an animal?
And a zoo like tapped me on the shoulder. He's like,
have fun with that one like it? Just I want
a picture, you know what. I want a lot of things.
I mean I want a lot of screaming at you.
Oh my god, you need to smile more.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Be nas hey no.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Oh okay, well this leads perfectly into by the way,
we'll still get to Max first Christmas. Eventually, this leads
into I've been doing yoga. Not to brag, twenty years, okay,
twenty yogi. I've been doing yoga actually longer than that.
My first yoga class was at the beakerm Yoga Studio
in Kirkland, Washington, when I was seventeen years old, so
(20:26):
you do the math. Twenty four years. I've been doing yoga.
I know the etiquette. I know the standing series. We're
not having any water till we do the second break
after the first few poses. I know all the etiquette, okay,
But I'm not in a beakerm yoga class.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
I'm in a sculpt class, okay.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
And it's an hour and it's upbeat, and it's a
lot of music, and it's a hot class. But like
it's just different than like, you know, some of those
other ones that are very regiment and whatever. There's people
coming in late. Someone forgot to get a band. They're
getting up in the middle class getting the band, getting
you know, different ways.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
They didn't get the weights that were okay.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
One of the reasons I like this class is because
it is not so stricty mic stricterson. So I the
class starts at nine o'clock or eight o'clock whatever, it
was gonna be over at nine o'clock, I'm like, I
gotta leave because I need to get to the other
side of town. So I need five minutes more before
that rush comes out. Now we're all putting our weights
away at the same time. I just need to leave
the class five minutes.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Aaray, yeah, yep, everyone's on their mat.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
It's no mistay in time. And I get up and
the yoga instructor comes over to me and she goes,
you will not be allowed to leave the class again
at this time, And like the guy in the bar,
I went like this. I didn't do this, though. I
just walked right past her. And you know what I
wanted to say was, Hey, you're not my mother.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Lady.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Remember at the beginning of this class when you said
set your intentions and this is my practice. Well my
practice ended five minutes ago. Okay, so my ass is
leaving this class, and my ass will not be in
your class again because you do not make me feel
zen and peaceful. So I just left after fifty five
minutes of having what I thought was a great workout.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
And now I'm pissed.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Now I'm doing the opposite of what you wanted me
to do, which was go out into the world and
be light and loving and spread my light around. Well,
guess what, my light is dimmed because of you, lady.
You and I've got a problem with you. Why are
you judging me?
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Lady? It's rude.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
I think everyone should watch the Taylor Swift concert and
then their moods will change. Right.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Do you think that what I went when Taylor?
Speaker 1 (22:33):
When somebody at Taylor Swift concert had to go up
and go to the bathroom, did she go, hey, you
will not be allowed to go to the bathroom again
at that time.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
No, I swear to God, shake it. I should have
that's a question for you.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Pee when we go see her in London and she
has this on sta go to the bathroom, I'm not.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
I'm not worried about it. I am prone to you
tis to begin with. I will risk my kidneys for her.
I am not going to the bathroom. I will not
drink water for three before the concert. I will not
be drinking anything before the concert.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
No, I'm gonna drink and I am gonna sing, and
I am gonna flip my hair.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
I'm worried about what we're gonna wear to the show.
I'm worried about my neck with all the flippant on
the hair. I mean, my god, my lower love bar
will never be the same.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
I was thinking about the guy that was rude to
me at the airport and he was like, you should
smile war more.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
You know what I should have done.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
I should have turned around, walked to the other side
of the restaurant, and I should have just like sauntered.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
As a walk in the room. By the way, I
would have my pants. If you just trump your stuff,
this is.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Okay, that'd be the man. Yeah, to be the man.
I am not into all of these. Anyone that knows
me knows like I'm like always late to trends. I'm like, hey,
have you seen this new It's like, yeah, lady, we
saw that four years ago. But I this this trends
of in and out for New Year's I've been like,
(24:03):
I do New Year's resolutions, but I'm kind of over that.
So I am now gonna conform to this in and
out list. And I don't know if I'm actually doing
it the right way, but these are my ins and
my out. So number one is being positive.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Now, I bitch about a lot of things to you
most of the time, but I'm gonna lead with a
foot of positivity.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
So when next time I'm in that yoga.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Class, saunter and that woman, that woman says that I
am gonna do the same thing, I'm just gonna smile
and I'm gonna grab my mat and I'm gonna moon.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Walk out of that place.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Instead of being mad, I'm just gonna be like, she
must be I'm.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Freaking do that walk through life this year and see
where it gets me, because i gotta tell you, she
was the most successful person I've ever like loved.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
But that's that's what I mean.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
So why don't we start doing that instead of like
our immediate reaction is like to get pissed, Let's just
saunter and smile. I like the point, By the way,
I have a funny story. I've got to say this
going back to the positive thing. I heard somebody say
one time, like, hey, we need to talk about the
outfa you're wearing, and the woman goes, no name, We
(25:10):
need to talk about the outfit you're wearing. And that's
where I'm to start doing. I'm gonna just start flipping everything.
So instead of the yoga lady doing that, I'm gonna
saunter and be like, no, we need to talk about
you pacing your class better.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
I'll be the man and then.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Walk out nice like when you're dancwering and she's like nice.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Okay, so that's one of my inn Also being open minded.
I think that goes with positivity and also saying no
instead of feeling like I have to go to whatever
thing that I'm not supposed to or obligated to go to,
I'm to say no more. And also that's in and
dressing up on planes. Here's what here's on my outlets.
(25:49):
I don't want to see him. I don't want to
see the not dressing up, but not your pajamas. I
do not want to see these people get on in
plaid pajamas and like their slippers, and I'm like, come on,
like remember the good old days of like people actually
like got ready.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
You don't have to go so extreme.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
I just don't want you to like roll in your
pajamas and you haven't showered and I have to sit next.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
To you for five hours. It's just like gross. It's
just hygiene, because like the hygiene.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
I'm not wearing pajamas, but I will tell you my
outfit is a sweatshirt and leggings because this is what
I run into. I'm wearing compression pants underneath my pants. No,
that's fine, you can't wear those with jeans.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Or a slack, that's like presentable.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
I just meeting these people that like look like they
just rolled straight out of bed, like this is still
a public place, like or if like you're in the
grocery store and you're strolling around in your pajamas, Like
what are we doing?
Speaker 3 (26:39):
You need to smile more? You need to smile.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Okay, that's my inns. Do you have any things that
are going to be in for you this year? What
do you focus on?
Speaker 3 (26:50):
In for me?
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Is what I always say. I would like to start
watching my mouth a little bit. It's unattractive and gross.
I listened to it on the podcast I'm I'm discussing
about myself. The out is taking advice from people like
smiling more, literally I wrote that, and they are two
cents when guess what, I'm already my like toughest critics,
(27:12):
so I don't need it very much, and being nicer
to myself, taking a little bit more credit for things.
I'm very self deprecating, making jokes. My kid doesn't know me.
He doesn't, but you know it'll be exciting when he does.
But yeah, you just did it, You.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
Just did it.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Yeah, this has been a hard year with all that
stuff and not feeling insecure about all the things I
don't know. So listen, it's a journey. I'm gonna saunter.
I am going to find some boot like healed boots,
and I'm going to walk around and just pretend I'm
at her show.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
I love that Aron, And give yourself some grace, right
like she died thirty years ago. Just be patient with yourself.
Think about what happened to you this past year. I mean,
my god, you had a child like something that you
worked a decade to have. It's you're not gonna know everything,
And like, how long have we been in these jobs
(28:04):
twenty plus years and we still question what we're doing everything.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
All the time.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
So it's like, give yourself some grace and I'm with
you on that be And here's the other thing too,
And you think I would have learned this a long
time ago. And I'm pretty good about like not getting
consumed by negative stuff because we wouldn't last in this
position if we if we were. But also, like, I
don't even know you. Why do I care about your opinion?
I don't I care about the opinion of the people
(28:31):
that I love and respect and our whether their bosses
or mentors, or colleagues, like, I care about those people.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
So I'm gonna focus.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
So be real careful when you're throwing stones at people,
Just be really really careful.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Yeah, I'm just gonna oh, number one on my list
is fake nice. You know what I'm not doing. I'm
not doing the fake nice thing anymore. I'm not I'm
not like, oh, it's so good to see. Actually it's
not good. I'm not gonna say anything. I'm just gonna
say I'm gonna go back to the old adage. If
we got nothing nice to say, then I've said nothing
at all. And that, yeah, is the place that I'm
going to live in. And I'm going to just be
a little miss positive and not in a fake way,
(29:06):
but just positive about our own space, you.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Sure, all right, Well it's a new year. Same so
we still needs to calm the fuck down. Actually, oh
I shouldn't sear Let me try that again. And everyone
still needs to calm down and just remember think to
yourself when you're having.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
A bad day, what would Taylor do? Well, I'll tell
you what she wouldn't do. Before we close out the show.
Brian just closed up the show.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Brian three hour performance everybody close out the show.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Brian just reminded me on December nineteenth at ten something PM.
I have no idea where this came from, but it
was apparently he thought Jared was in trouble.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
That's not what it was about.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
It was something someone said to me in front of Jared,
and I said, oh my god, this is going to
be a great discussion, so much so I can't remember
what the heck it was right there in the thing
having a mature I said something like, hey, guys, remind
me to talk on the podcast about having a mature
(30:10):
recognition for the person in your house aka your wife.
Don't know who said that to me, don't even remember
what it was about, but man, I was online.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
I don't know, but it's so funny because I'm like,
that's not how you would talk a mature recognition.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
But what is that movie from something? Somebody said?
Speaker 1 (30:25):
I don't know, but anyone that watches Thursday Night Football
knows that I love a movie quote. What is the
line where it is blank blank blank? Is the soul's
recognition of its counterpart in another?
Speaker 3 (30:37):
Oh yeah, what is that that? Souls? Yeah? Oh? Shoot
say it again? Something is the soul's recognition. I never
understood what it meant of its.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Counterpart, soul's recognition of its counterpart in another.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Of a counterpart in another meaning wedding crashers.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Oh there we go. That's a movie I need to watch.
You know what true love is?
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Your soul recognition of its counterpart in another.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
So that's what does it mean? I don't know. I
never know what it means. It's Claire Cleary who said it.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
I love her in that Rachel mcchith, I'm so so Adora.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
She didn't give her a little bit more of a tan.
She was very fair skinned.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
That's what I look like right now. Maybe she also
was nursing a cold. She's adorable.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
She her voddo and that was fire in her little
like flowy pants. Her bomb bomb was so cute when
she had her little like not a full head wrap on.

All right, girl, we have been Our last podcast was
with the Captain, which we are so so great made
for him spending some time with us, especially right before
the holidays. Everyone's busy AND's got shit to do, but
he took time out and couldn't have been more generous
and sweet.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
We let him. Hope you guys got a chance to
listen to that.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
If not, please do give advice on parenting and his
experience and you know, the league for as long as
he had and so much. By the way, I'm so
disappointed I didn't get his walk up song. Like of
course I knew that, I just couldn't think of it.
In the moment I got the.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Clip was so funny.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
By the way, he's adorable, all right, sister, So we
had a lot of milestones for you and the babes.
We'll start with that mom first, Max first Christmas.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
And Max first Christmas.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Had tell everybody where you just came from.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
I just came from. I'm trying.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I'm looking at this text chain with me, you, Greg
and Kevin because the boys just wrote on it, and
I don't understand what they're writing about anyways. Okay, so
five six, seven eight, I just came from our house.
We had our first swimming lesson with Mac and our
little family friend Teddy Purcell and his wife Alex and
their baby Theo. Theo is like three weeks older than Mac.
(02:42):
So we had a swim in structure come to our house.
Daddy heated the pool really really warm, like bathwater, because
that was a big deal for cheapy pants and cheap back.
Now this is a great question we're just talking. I said,
are you going to turn off the heat in the pool?
And he goes, well, I don't know, because like do
I like if I but then if I turn it off,
(03:02):
then I got a heat it back up.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Next week for the next swimming lesson.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
So you know in your house, how like we shut
our air off. You and I like to we yell
the boys we shut the air off, But they say
a comfortable temp is seventy five. So you don't turn
it all the way off and then have to recool
the house off.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
What's a good tempt for the pool?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
So you don't shut it off, it gets cold and
you have to heat it all up again.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
I don't know, but your house is seventy five. That
feels very No.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
It's not seventy five if you leave and go out
of town, Like, I don't just shut my air off.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
I turn it on seventy five. Oh not me.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
I'm shutting everything off I have because I'm also I'm
not a hypochondcontract when it comes to health stuff. I'm
OCD when it comes to anything in my house, Like
I will turn all the Christmas lights off.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
I will shut down like all these lights like whatever.
It's probably why I got robbed off.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Yeah, because I'm afraid that there's gonna be some crier
spark that goes off. I even the other day had
lit a candle and there was like this box next
to it. I thought, I wonder if like an aert flame,
like a little spark jumps out and then it's gonna
like the whole I just I get freaked out about
like electrical things. Never you, guys, never ever ever leave
your dryer on when you leave the house. Ever, Like
(04:08):
those are those things that like you hear about. Now
back to the pool temp. I don't know, girl, I
have not heated that pool up and I don't know ever, yeah,
like it's so expensive, so I don't heat it up.
And then I lost my you know what on Steve
the other day because I saw heat rising out of
the hot tub and we'd been gone for hours. I
was like, did you like the hot tab on? And
he's like, uh no, it's just because the air's cold
(04:30):
out there. He's like, you psycho.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
But I don't want to be paying for things that
we don't need, so I'm cheap.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Mack said, bath water, So you have to do it
for those young babies so they'll stick in there.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Anyways, he did really good.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
She even like blew on his face so he would
close his mouth because Max is a bit of a
mouth for there, he's always like.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
So closed his mouth, dunked him under he was fine.
He got up and he was like looter around and
we're like whoo yeah, yeah, ye yeah, and then it
was like the five seconds later.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
But then it's embarrassing because like, our friend's baby didn't
cry and Max crying.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
And it's like, what come on, buddy. I wonder about
what Nick Saban say about that. Wait, it's actually a.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Really interesting thing because I was telling you earlier when
we were catching up because we hadn't which normally we
don't do before a podcast.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
But whatever.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
I went to meet up with a couple of my
girlfriends and they both have two year olds that are
like a right around this well obviously around the same age. Jesus,
I'm gonna blame the cough medicine for that explanation, do it.
They were born around the same time whatever, a couple
of weeks apart, and I was thinking to myself, I
didn't tell them this, but like, what like if one's
more advanced than the other one, or one's crying and
one's not, like I would be very competitive with that.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Well I know, and you know how they say, like
each baby is different, but it's.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Hard not to be like Mac get it together, crying
what's wrong with you?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Like Nick Saban will never come for a home visit
if you're crying.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
My gosh, Nick Saban was crying yesterday.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Poor guy Alabama losing the playoff round so they can't
advance the National Championship Game semi finals.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
For those of you available for comment and concern, that
was quite a game. I got to say.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
It was like everything you want it to be right,
like where it's like it comes down to the last drive,
the last second, like when they kept alternating and taking timeouts.
For those of you that don't know it's Michigan against Alabama,
you've got these powerhouse programs and like from the onset,
I thought that that game was going to be run
away by Michigan because they were getting after Alabama's quarter
like sack five sacks or whatever it was in the
first half. But it ended up being a great game.
(06:27):
Any who, And Washington that ended up being a great
game too, Washington Texans at time. Yeah, okay, so Mac
had a great first swim lesson q T cutes. I
also keep taking with you that this kid is like
fifteen years old already. Do you think he's grown up?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Like?
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Has it gone by fast?
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Well, it's kind of coincided with my football season. And
you know, my husband said yesterday, he goes, the season's
gone fast. I'm like, has it has it? It's like
some days it does, some days it doesn't. Now that
we're you know, we always said when we get to December,
it flies because the holidays, and then once you hit January,
it's like the playoffs, singer having a time and it
just flies. So I guess that would mean the six
(07:05):
months of my baby's life have gone fast, which is
kind of a bummer. And I will reintroduce myself to
him in February. Hi, I'm your mom.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
It's me.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Hi.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
That's what I want to talk to you about me. Oh, yes,
say go.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
So we I was having a bit to drink the
other night and wanted to call Chris and Steve and
FaceTime him and see what they were up to. And
I didn't make a big deal about it on the phone,
but I thought about it.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
We both said.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
We weren't going to watch it until we went to
the show. But when I called the christ and Steve, oh,
I thought I did, maybe it's a cough medicine, Because
I was like, am I going to go to this
movie and you go, no, oh my god, Ryan said
you said it?
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Ryan said it? You said it on here.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Okay, I don't recall that one hundred percent said it.
I would wait to watch it with Aaron. Well, I
became Aaron because I, by the way, I could one
hundred percent have went to that concert, and I know
the one that was out of town.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
So we're even. I don't remember saying that, but okay, regardless,
we're all fine. Thank you, Brian. Yes, I wanted to
see it off. Okay, you've never typed faster in that
little side conversation. Yeah, she said that. Help me out.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
So anyways, I FaceTime you guys, and you guys are
so cute with your glasses of wine and you're watching it.
So my sister we went and walked the dog and
Ken's like, do you want to watch it? I said
I do, So we went upstairs. Chris, it took us
three nights to watch it. We only watched an hour
every night.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
How could you put the remote down? I stayed up.
I was like, I got to finish this thing.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
I think I wanted to spread out the happiness. It's
like what I did was Shit's creek I still haven't
watched the finale of Shit's Creek because I just wanted
to be like it to continue. So I haven't even
seen the wedding yet. Let's stay on tas Okay, that's
(08:55):
our Tailor schorl concert.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Again.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
We have not gone to the show yet. That is
going to be part of the conversation. Which one are
we going to London?
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Yes, I see London and I see France. I see
Taylor in our pants. That sounds bad, that's crazy. Anyways,
go what did you think? I have so many observations.
Go okay, well, as evidenced by the seventy five videos
that Steve took of me.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
But I had the best time because she so My.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Affinity with Taylor dates back to I'll abbreviate the story,
so not everyone's yawning by the end of it. My niece,
she was sick. All she wanted to do was go
to the Taylor Swift concert. She gets out of the hospital,
we take her to the Taylor Swift concert. I mean
this is fifteen twenty years ago now, one of her
first concerts, and I just remember sobbing because Alyssa was
singing every word to the song and it made her
so happy, and I was like, I don't even know
(09:45):
who Taylor Swift is, but I just love her because
Alyssa loves her. And then after that we all know
that Aaron and I have a great admiration and love
for her because she's just joy And that's my word
for twenty twenty four. She's just joyful that And I
know not every day of her life is, but I'm
saying she exudes this sentiment of just happiness and I
like that, and she's a little ray of sunshine and
(10:06):
I'm into it. So when I was watching her concert,
I just was like, how can you not love this?
How can you not love her? And she's like and
then she picked up the guitar and then we're playing
the piano, and it's like to think about her writing
all of these songs, And then I was thinking about
Jake Gillenhan. I was thinking about the songs that she's
writing about him, and I'm thinking about John Mayer, and
I'm thinking about the guys that she wrote these songs
for some of them. And then I'm thinking about like
(10:28):
the drama of like we were never getting back together
or calmed down or all these different things, and I'm like,
I want to know the backstory. Sometimes she talks about
the backstory of these things, like yeah, the other but
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
She uses a lot of big words. I don't know.
Oh yeah, okay, like what you want to go over
some of them?
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Now, No, Klara's got a lot of words in it
that I'm just like, what, Like it's great though, like
I fink she's so smart.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Yes, she's just really joyful.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
And I couldn't stop, like I just had to get
up off of the sofa thing and just start dancing.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Was it that you were dancing too?
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (11:02):
What was that one? All of them? I was literally
dancing to almost all of them. Yeah, And then Kenna
and I were saying, but oh so sorry, go ahead god,
oh no, no, no, you're good.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
I was just there was some songs of like different
albums because obviously it's the Era's concert was some of them.
I didn't know those songs, so I did fast forward
like a little bit through them because I was like,
I'm gonna have to revisit this song when I know
what it's about.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
But that's all we felt that way about Folklore. Ken
and I kept saying it was so emotional. We were like,
how did we miss this album? And that the next
day Ken was listening to it in like our guest
room at the house, and like I was like, what
are you listening to? And she goes folklore, she goes,
I've never gotten to bed happier. The one with the
house that she was in, right, yes, yes.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
The other one? Uh oh yeah? What was this song
on the insta story? You did? Oh?
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Shake it off? But you know my motto is shake
it off and calm down. I mean there's never been
true a word spoken.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
But any who, but yeah, it's so weird that when
we go to her show, she's gonna let us come
on stage, and I know you need to come.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
That's so crazy. I can't wait. I can't wait.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
This is obviously not the truth of the she has manifesting.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
We're putting it out in the universe, right.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
So a couple of things I took away from it.
One was I've always loved her because of just not her.
I'm not the best dancer ever out of you talking
about I'm not.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Amazing you guys dancers.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Anyways, I loved it because she always like said, like,
you know, I don't even know if she said it.
I read in the Time magazine article that she said
she wanted to get better. She hired this woman, Mandy Moore,
who I actually know and used on Dancing with the
Starship padagraph my contemporary.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
No.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
I got to tell you, my sister and I were
watching it, and my sister is a professional dancer. She
was feeling herself like she was like so comfortable in
her body. I've never seen more strutting in my entire life.
When I was where the hell did I just do
a game? Where was this weekend Tampa? Were walking into
the meeting room and I was pretending I was in
glitterly like.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Pink boots, don't believe it with them, and she was strutting.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Also, the memory with all the songs, the memory with
the dance, I'm blown away.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
I am fascinated.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
And I need to know if somewhere she has a prompter,
because okay, that's what I want to know.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
And it's not that she wants This is another reason
when you write your own shit. She's like, uh, of
course I remember.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Llais, but after all the other things you're doing right, Also,
I need to know where.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
For what she might call it?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Oh, my god, Steve is freaking out, okay about contamination.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Okay, I love him.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Contamination of what for formula? So I love him so much.
She's worried about his best friend. This is what he's
setting me in the middle of this podcast. Sorry for
it interrupting.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Just wanted to make sure you are aware of the
six hundred and seventy five tho thirty bottles of baby
formula that were recalled. And I want to make sure
Mac isn't drinking. I love him so much. I love him,
so he was calling. That's why he just call his
best friend.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
It is his best friend. So okay.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Yeah, the memory. Also, there's no way in hell she
can sing every single note. I'm wondering, how do they
know to turn her mic on on the parts that
she is? How it is that all this worry shake
it off?
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Yeah, chick, I was out of breath for the one
song I was dancing and I wasn't even singing.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
I went to be like, hey, how's it going. It's me.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
I'm the problem. I can't breathe like you also are sick?
I mean no, but she had to think she was
sick some nice too. Also, what is the drill with
the costumes. I feel like she stands there and everybody
has a job and they're like, step into the boots.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Okay, we got you go, here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
And then fascinating and we will turn the page on
our Taylor Swift conversation only because there's a lot to
get to. But I mean I could do this all
day obviously. Yeah, I want to know what questions you
guys have. So here's what we should do. We should
make a really long list of questions and if entire
Travis the opportunity, we will at our dinner party that
we're inviting ourselves to that she will be at, we're
(15:06):
going to play a game. We're going to fold up
all the questions and we're gonna put them in a hat,
and we're gonna have her draw out the questions and
answer them for us. She doesn't know how much fun
she's gonna have with us yet, but this is going
to be at dinner part.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Oh my god, I.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Did you see this craze of craze let's take it
easy that the dollar bills are on the table and
you're blindfolded and there's mouse traps on the table. Did
you see this? Game that people are playing. Oh, okay,
so I have no life. I don't have a life either,
but this I spread out Taylor Swift's concerts, so I
have a light. Okay, fair enough, But I've been sick
for the last two days, so I've been consuming way
(15:40):
too much on my phone and video, which is another
thing I want to get to. It's part of my
outlist Instagram time enough, enough is enough.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
But this, I was happy about this game.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Let's say you have, like I don't know, ten people over,
doesn't even have to be ten blindfolds. The guests put
on the table a bunch of money and mouse traps,
and you've got to feel your way around. Oh I know,
but that's the funny part. It's really great. I think
I'm gonna do that. Somebody could really get hurt. Oh
my god, someone could also get really rich. So I'm
(16:12):
willing to take the risk. You start throwing a hundred
dollars bills on those tables in a non scantily clad outfit,
I'm jumping off.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Can I wear the pink glittery boots and saunter like
Taylor does? It's incredible?
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Incredible? Sure can't.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Okay, So my last thing is this about the joy?
Everyone in that crowd had pure joy on their face.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
It was so lovely. It was just lovely. I'm excited.
I'm excited about asking her all these questions. I'm excited
about coming up on the stage and being.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Like, you need to calm down.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Yes, I'm manifesting all of our trip to London to
go see her.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Yeah, we want to go to London and say, oh wow,
crack open a cold one, say a while.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
I wish I could have one. All right, it's sparkling water.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Oh okay, Now, ladies and gentlemen, we have a lot
to get to become the jurys of the jury sustained, overruled.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
I always have to think about that. I was like, okay, overall,
that's again.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
That's another one, like like that's part of our someone
she's like congressman.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Oh yeah. Like she's a good little theatric. She's cute.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
She is she's also like performing in a Broadway play.
I like that if I were a man. I never
realized how much I like that song.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
I'm into it. Okay, So Max, how about.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
The sexual one with all her dancers and their bombs
and like it was so good.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
I'm exacting so clearly. Aaron and I love Taylor Swift.
If you guys are still listening, that means you do too.
If you don't, then you've tuned down a long time ago.
And yeah, exactly. But I'm like trying to move on
to Max first Christmas, and Aaron's like, you remember that
that one song. Okay, we're moving on to Max first Christmas.
So you flew back that night from your game?
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Where was I? Miami Wow? Great game, Dallas, Miami Wow.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Thirty one and thirty one point five million, to be exact.
When I saw those numbers, I said, Mike Moulbihill, move over,
I'll do the counting here, Moulvy, beauty amazing, A great game.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
The content from.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
The Fort Lauderdale Airport on Christmas Eve, I texted you
and Ryan that and I said, the content that is
crazy crazy. I'm so tired. All I want is a
quick burger and a couple glasses a soft blog before
I get on the plane. And this guy is clearly overserved.
I don't know if his flight was delayed or he
was just over the holidays. We're all miserable the holidays.
(18:25):
We got ten minutes before the bar closes. Can I
get a quick burger? No cheese, pries? I don't care
what you have.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Can I have something I've been eaten since eight thirty
in the morning.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Get on this menu that's the Exactavorite line nine o'clock
at night. The girl's like, sure, what do you want
to drink? The bar's closing in nine minutes. Three savian blocks.
I'll have him in one glass with a straw. I'm
ready to go. The guy turned around to the bar
and he goes, I know who you are, and I
was like, cool, anyways, thank you so much. Here's a tip,
and he goes, you need to smile more, and I said,
(18:53):
I didn't ask. Then I went to go grab my bag.
Tip the girl Merry Christmas. Thank you so much for
helping me. I really appreciate it. I walked by him
and I went like this, no, and he was like,
he goes, you're not nice, and I go I said
a not nice word. I was like, this is what
I don't need in my life. You know what, if
I were a man.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Talk to me like that in the garage, No, they wouldn't.
And by the way, don't tell forehead. Tell me to smile.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
I'm hungry, does it say yelp? And I asked for
a review. No, I don't need your commentary right now, sir.
I'm just here trying to get somebody to eat because
I've just been working all day.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
But thanks send me.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
And I was standing name drop with Baker Mayfield before
the game, talking because I hadn't seen him for the
past year, standing.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
There covering him.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
This guy was like, Aaron, come over here, I want
a picture. And I was just like, am I an animal?
And a zoo like tapped me on the shoulder. He's like,
have fun with that one like it? Just I want
a picture, you know what. I want a lot of things.
I mean I want a lot of screaming at you.
Oh my god, you need to smile more.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Be nas hey no.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Oh okay, well this leads perfectly into by the way,
we'll still get to Max first Christmas. Eventually, this leads
into I've been doing yoga. Not to brag, twenty years, okay,
twenty yogi. I've been doing yoga actually longer than that.
My first yoga class was at the beakerm Yoga Studio
in Kirkland, Washington, when I was seventeen years old, so
(20:26):
you do the math. Twenty four years. I've been doing yoga.
I know the etiquette. I know the standing series. We're
not having any water till we do the second break
after the first few poses. I know all the etiquette, okay,
But I'm not in a beakerm yoga class.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
I'm in a sculpt class, okay.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
And it's an hour and it's upbeat, and it's a
lot of music, and it's a hot class. But like
it's just different than like, you know, some of those
other ones that are very regiment and whatever. There's people
coming in late. Someone forgot to get a band. They're
getting up in the middle class getting the band, getting
you know, different ways.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
They didn't get the weights that were okay.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
One of the reasons I like this class is because
it is not so stricty mic stricterson. So I the
class starts at nine o'clock or eight o'clock whatever, it
was gonna be over at nine o'clock, I'm like, I
gotta leave because I need to get to the other
side of town. So I need five minutes more before
that rush comes out. Now we're all putting our weights
away at the same time. I just need to leave
the class five minutes.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Aaray, yeah, yep, everyone's on their mat.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
It's no mistay in time. And I get up and
the yoga instructor comes over to me and she goes,
you will not be allowed to leave the class again
at this time, And like the guy in the bar,
I went like this. I didn't do this, though. I
just walked right past her. And you know what I
wanted to say was, Hey, you're not my mother.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Lady.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Remember at the beginning of this class when you said
set your intentions and this is my practice. Well my
practice ended five minutes ago. Okay, so my ass is
leaving this class, and my ass will not be in
your class again because you do not make me feel
zen and peaceful. So I just left after fifty five
minutes of having what I thought was a great workout.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
And now I'm pissed.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Now I'm doing the opposite of what you wanted me
to do, which was go out into the world and
be light and loving and spread my light around. Well,
guess what, my light is dimmed because of you, lady.
You and I've got a problem with you. Why are
you judging me?
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Lady? It's rude.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
I think everyone should watch the Taylor Swift concert and
then their moods will change. Right.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Do you think that what I went when Taylor?
Speaker 1 (22:33):
When somebody at Taylor Swift concert had to go up
and go to the bathroom, did she go, hey, you
will not be allowed to go to the bathroom again
at that time.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
No, I swear to God, shake it. I should have
that's a question for you.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Pee when we go see her in London and she
has this on sta go to the bathroom, I'm not.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
I'm not worried about it. I am prone to you
tis to begin with. I will risk my kidneys for her.
I am not going to the bathroom. I will not
drink water for three before the concert. I will not
be drinking anything before the concert.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
No, I'm gonna drink and I am gonna sing, and
I am gonna flip my hair.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
I'm worried about what we're gonna wear to the show.
I'm worried about my neck with all the flippant on
the hair. I mean, my god, my lower love bar
will never be the same.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
I was thinking about the guy that was rude to
me at the airport and he was like, you should
smile war more.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
You know what I should have done.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
I should have turned around, walked to the other side
of the restaurant, and I should have just like sauntered.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
As a walk in the room. By the way, I
would have my pants. If you just trump your stuff,
this is.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Okay, that'd be the man. Yeah, to be the man.
I am not into all of these. Anyone that knows
me knows like I'm like always late to trends. I'm like, hey,
have you seen this new It's like, yeah, lady, we
saw that four years ago. But I this this trends
of in and out for New Year's I've been like,
(24:03):
I do New Year's resolutions, but I'm kind of over that.
So I am now gonna conform to this in and
out list. And I don't know if I'm actually doing
it the right way, but these are my ins and
my out. So number one is being positive.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Now, I bitch about a lot of things to you
most of the time, but I'm gonna lead with a
foot of positivity.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
So when next time I'm in that yoga.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Class, saunter and that woman, that woman says that I
am gonna do the same thing, I'm just gonna smile
and I'm gonna grab my mat and I'm gonna moon.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Walk out of that place.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Instead of being mad, I'm just gonna be like, she
must be I'm.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Freaking do that walk through life this year and see
where it gets me, because i gotta tell you, she
was the most successful person I've ever like loved.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
But that's that's what I mean.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
So why don't we start doing that instead of like
our immediate reaction is like to get pissed, Let's just
saunter and smile. I like the point, By the way,
I have a funny story. I've got to say this
going back to the positive thing. I heard somebody say
one time, like, hey, we need to talk about the
outfa you're wearing, and the woman goes, no name, We
(25:10):
need to talk about the outfit you're wearing. And that's
where I'm to start doing. I'm gonna just start flipping everything.
So instead of the yoga lady doing that, I'm gonna
saunter and be like, no, we need to talk about
you pacing your class better.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
I'll be the man and then.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Walk out nice like when you're dancwering and she's like nice.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Okay, so that's one of my inn Also being open minded.
I think that goes with positivity and also saying no
instead of feeling like I have to go to whatever
thing that I'm not supposed to or obligated to go to,
I'm to say no more. And also that's in and
dressing up on planes. Here's what here's on my outlets.
(25:49):
I don't want to see him. I don't want to
see the not dressing up, but not your pajamas. I
do not want to see these people get on in
plaid pajamas and like their slippers, and I'm like, come on,
like remember the good old days of like people actually
like got ready.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
You don't have to go so extreme.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
I just don't want you to like roll in your
pajamas and you haven't showered and I have to sit next.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
To you for five hours. It's just like gross. It's
just hygiene, because like the hygiene.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
I'm not wearing pajamas, but I will tell you my
outfit is a sweatshirt and leggings because this is what
I run into. I'm wearing compression pants underneath my pants. No,
that's fine, you can't wear those with jeans.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Or a slack, that's like presentable.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
I just meeting these people that like look like they
just rolled straight out of bed, like this is still
a public place, like or if like you're in the
grocery store and you're strolling around in your pajamas, Like
what are we doing?
Speaker 3 (26:39):
You need to smile more? You need to smile.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Okay, that's my inns. Do you have any things that
are going to be in for you this year? What
do you focus on?
Speaker 3 (26:50):
In for me?
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Is what I always say. I would like to start
watching my mouth a little bit. It's unattractive and gross.
I listened to it on the podcast I'm I'm discussing
about myself. The out is taking advice from people like
smiling more, literally I wrote that, and they are two
cents when guess what, I'm already my like toughest critics,
(27:12):
so I don't need it very much, and being nicer
to myself, taking a little bit more credit for things.
I'm very self deprecating, making jokes. My kid doesn't know me.
He doesn't, but you know it'll be exciting when he does.
But yeah, you just did it, You.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
Just did it.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Yeah, this has been a hard year with all that
stuff and not feeling insecure about all the things I
don't know. So listen, it's a journey. I'm gonna saunter.
I am going to find some boot like healed boots,
and I'm going to walk around and just pretend I'm
at her show.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
I love that Aron, And give yourself some grace, right
like she died thirty years ago. Just be patient with yourself.
Think about what happened to you this past year. I mean,
my god, you had a child like something that you
worked a decade to have. It's you're not gonna know everything,
And like, how long have we been in these jobs
(28:04):
twenty plus years and we still question what we're doing everything.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
All the time.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
So it's like, give yourself some grace and I'm with
you on that be And here's the other thing too,
And you think I would have learned this a long
time ago. And I'm pretty good about like not getting
consumed by negative stuff because we wouldn't last in this
position if we if we were. But also, like, I
don't even know you. Why do I care about your opinion?
I don't I care about the opinion of the people
(28:31):
that I love and respect and our whether their bosses
or mentors, or colleagues, like, I care about those people.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
So I'm gonna focus.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
So be real careful when you're throwing stones at people,
Just be really really careful.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Yeah, I'm just gonna oh, number one on my list
is fake nice. You know what I'm not doing. I'm
not doing the fake nice thing anymore. I'm not I'm
not like, oh, it's so good to see. Actually it's
not good. I'm not gonna say anything. I'm just gonna
say I'm gonna go back to the old adage. If
we got nothing nice to say, then I've said nothing
at all. And that, yeah, is the place that I'm
going to live in. And I'm going to just be
a little miss positive and not in a fake way,
(29:06):
but just positive about our own space, you.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Sure, all right, Well it's a new year. Same so
we still needs to calm the fuck down. Actually, oh
I shouldn't sear Let me try that again. And everyone
still needs to calm down and just remember think to
yourself when you're having.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
Brian just reminded me on December nineteenth at ten something PM.
I have no idea where this came from, but it
was apparently he thought Jared was in trouble.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
That's not what it was about.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
It was something someone said to me in front of Jared,
and I said, oh my god, this is going to
be a great discussion, so much so I can't remember
what the heck it was right there in the thing
having a mature I said something like, hey, guys, remind
me to talk on the podcast about having a mature
(30:10):
recognition for the person in your house aka your wife.
Don't know who said that to me, don't even remember
what it was about, but man, I was online.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
I don't know, but it's so funny because I'm like,
that's not how you would talk a mature recognition.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
But what is that movie from something? Somebody said?
Speaker 1 (30:25):
I don't know, but anyone that watches Thursday Night Football
knows that I love a movie quote. What is the
line where it is blank blank blank? Is the soul's
recognition of its counterpart in another?
Speaker 3 (30:37):
Oh yeah, what is that that? Souls? Yeah? Oh? Shoot
say it again? Something is the soul's recognition. I never
understood what it meant of its.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Counterpart, soul's recognition of its counterpart in another.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Of a counterpart in another meaning wedding crashers.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Oh there we go. That's a movie I need to watch.
You know what true love is?
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Your soul recognition of its counterpart in another.
Speaker 3 (31:02):

never know what it means. It's Claire Cleary who said it.

Speaker 2 (31:11):
She didn't give her a little bit more of a tan.
She was very fair skinned.
Speaker 3 (31:15):

was nursing a cold. She's adorable.
Speaker 2 (31:20):

like flowy pants. Her bomb bomb was so cute when
