had spinal fusion surgery, right, and he's on a gurney
and he listens to the show and he worked for
Parker and Son's and he's a real nice guy and
he's been in my house before.

I'd always said hi to him.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
And then my doctor says, here's his wife. Say hi
to his wife's and I was like, oh, hey, nice
to meet you. And then my doctor says, tell him
the story of your baby. To the woman, she was, oh,
our son, he's thirteen years old. She goes, Now, keep
in mind, now I'm getting anxiety because I know I
have to be somewhere by toll forty five and they're
(03:11):

she goes, thirteen years ago, fourteen years ago, we were
listening to you guys on the show. We listened every day,
and you guys were talking about your intern Brad. And
she's like, I'm pregnant, and we don't know what to
name our son. And Brad and intern Peyton, great guy.
And I called him Maverick. I said, he look, you
(03:31):

they were listening and they were like, that's it. We're
gonna name our son Maverick.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Because they tied it to Brad. They named the kid
because of Brad, they named thee.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
You said that I got all the all the fields, right.
I would have probably had to say what a great tribute,
and that would have probably I don't speak.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Like you, Rich, No, I know I would have never
had a million years with a great tribute. But that's
you know, if I'm gonna wait until see them again,
it's a great tribute.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
Want to avoid you now.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
They're like, this, dude's down.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
T This is like what John Jay reins on your parade.
You tell John J' something good, you don't tell you
why it's not so good?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Good stuff about it? I feel terrible And it keeps.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
You up at night?
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Are you waking up in the middle And I'm thinking
about that because that would keep me up a night. Well,
only have last night so that I'm having yesterday.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
No, there's not a lot to keep you up so
deep sleep deprivate today know them except my sleep opp
being mask last night was leaking air and my wife
started poking me at ten o'clock.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
That's annoying.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
That's fun to wake up too, that's pleasant.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
That's annoying for you.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Yes, she woke up because it was annoying to her.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
But how do we hear it?
Speaker 3 (05:41):
I got like, there's like it comes out of the
side that you.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Got your noise canceling hairphones on and your Dar's Vader
mask on.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
You're not hearing anything hairphones.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
You need to get your wife like a million Christmas
presents were just dealing with the year round.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
You basically need to do what Travis Kelsey did for
Taylor Swiss Bird Day.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
But for Christmas.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Speaking of shopping, tell us Kyle about the experience you
had with your kids shopping for the Angel Tree.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
It wasn't a great express It wasn't I thought it was.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
I think, no, well, it was a great experience because
I'm trying to, like, you know, you try to teach
your kids to be good people, right and like, for me,
part of being good person is giving back, you know,
and doing what you can do to help others around
you when you can.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
You do that all the time.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
And apparently I don't do a good enough job about
I realized because shopping with my kids for we picked
two hearts off of the Angel Tree. So we had
two kids, and I thought it would hit home to
my kids more if they were kids that were their ages.
So we got a ten year old girl and a
six year old boy and he was like, but I'm seven,
(06:46):
And I was like, who cares?
Speaker 2 (06:49):
This already is not going?
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Well, say who cares?
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Like that?
Speaker 3 (06:51):
We're in a great sweater.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
So we go we start shopping and it's like they
start off good because in the car I give them
this speech like listen, we're very blessed that, like, you
are going to have presents under the Christmas tree this year.
But these kids, these hearts, they don't even have parents.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
They're part of the foster care system.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
They don't have parents, they don't have presents that are
coming under the Christmas tree. So we want to spread
some joy and give them maybe a little Christmas joy, okay,
And they were like, that's really sad. So it kind
of hit them and so we started off the shopping experience.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
It was great. They were like.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
Picking out things that they thought these kids would like
that they kind of like. And then the more we're
in this in the store, the more our kids are like,
well can I have this? And I'm like nope. Remember
we're not shopping for ourselves today, we're shopping for other people.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Oh okay, well can I have this?
Speaker 5 (07:46):
Like, no, we're not shopping for ourselves today, we're shopping
for other people. Remember, other people that aren't.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Going to get gifts?
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Well, can you just take a picture of it so
that I can put it on my list later?
Speaker 3 (08:00):
But that's how it starts. Now you're teaching them now
they're still very very young, just the age. It's perfect.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
No, at the moment actually came about we're almost done.
We have a few more items left, and Easton starts
doing his thing where he he turns from a seven
year old into like a two year old and he
starts like his body gets all heavy.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Swamps down. I don't like shopping for other people. And
I'm like, that's why we need to do it more.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
I need to do it more.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
And you're just showing me a mirror and I'm doing.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
