Speaker 1 (00:01):
Get your hit us together and we're going to stop.
And Patty, I'm ready to party.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
The Elvis Duran after party.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
I'm in the mood for a number. And come on,
Dandy Kane, come on Dan. Oh god, sorry?
Speaker 3 (00:22):
And again high school flashbacks when I was called greasy piglesi.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
By the way, you don't know this. We still call
you yeah in.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
The group chat.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Never go ahead, Andy, What do you got?
Speaker 5 (00:35):
So?
Speaker 3 (00:35):
I thought this would be a good one for sibling appreciation.
All of us have siblings, So what is one thing
that you kind of appreciate about your sibling? And also
maybe a second question, when did you actually start liking
your sibling? Because I hated my sister up until I
was about sixteen.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Really, oh yeah, we did not love her. Now she's awesome.
We actually use you to get to her CHUSTI I
know all my friends do.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
It's great, but yeah, I mean Jackie and I when
she went off to college, that's when I really was like, oh, okay,
you're kind of cool. I like you, and she's felt
the same about me. We go on record as both
saying like it took her going to college and me
kind of going to high school.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
For us to actually bond.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
But I love and this is sibling appreciation that Jackie
is always kind of the extrovert when I'm more introverted.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
You can bring her anywhere.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
She's like, can just lighten up a room with conversation,
and she just I feel brings that the best in
me in social station.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Yeah, man, I don't even know where to start, like
everything about my sister. So to answer second, she's my
favorite person in the whole world your second question, there
was never a time that I didn't love her. Really, Yeah,
I was obsessed with her my whole life. I don't
think it was feelings mutual when I was younger, because
she always talks about what a pain in the ass
I am. But I just always remember being like, oh, sissy.
(01:56):
But I would say my favorite thing about her is
that there's so many She is my safety net, like
in everything, and because I have that safety net, it
has made me so bold and taking chances and reaching
for opportunity and doing things that are riskier because I
know there's somebody that's gonna catch me no matter what.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
It's really nice, it's great.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Yeah, she's the best.
Speaker 6 (02:21):
I have two brothers and are older than me, believe
it or not. There are people in my family older
than me, and you know what.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
They live in Dallas. I live in New York.
Speaker 6 (02:30):
We only talk to each other every once in a while,
but you know, it's always a meaningful, loving conversation. I
appreciate them because they keep me grounded to my past,
and they really are the only things that do they.
You know, every time there's a birthday with mom or
dad that goes by in heaven, or they go to
the cemetery to put flowers at their tombstone or whatever,
they always include me in the ritual and in the photos,
(02:53):
and it really keeps me connected to a life I'm
so far away from now, and I'm very grateful for
them for that all. So, when my mom and dad
got very sick and I could not go home as
much as I wanted to, they were there taking care
of my mom.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
And dad, and I'll always be very appreciative of that.
So I do appreciate them very much.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
See, for me, my sister and I are eleven years different,
so she's eleven years younger than I am. So she
was always like the little kid and I always loved her,
and I always, you know, felt like I had to
take care of her and you know, make sure she
was protected and watch out for her. But she's one
of my best friends in the entire world. And she
and I are like the same with so many things,
and she is probably one of the nicest people I've
(03:34):
ever met in my entire life. My sister would do
anything for anybody. She's the best mom. You can rely
on her for anything, and it's awesome. And then my brother,
he's only two years younger than me, but we I mean,
growing up, he would beat the crap out of me
because that's just what we did. And I would have
(03:54):
to call friends over to come and sit on him
so that I could beat him back.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
But anyway, he's uh, you know. But over the years
we grew a lot closer, and I see he's an
incredible dad, and he's just he's just a nice My
brother is a nice person. He's like there's not a
bad bone in his body. He wouldn't be mean to anybody.
He loves to make people happy, which I love about him.
And I learn also more and more about the relationship
he had with my dad. Like we all have this
(04:25):
great relationship with my father obviously, but my brother and
my dad had a really amazing relationship. And I think
when my dad passed, he was affected more than any
of us. And I still see him go through it,
and my sister in law will still tell me he
goes through it, and I, you know, he but he's
just such a such a sweet soul. And I start
and I'm starting to see more of my dad in him,
(04:46):
which is my sister in lave will say is probably
not a great thing, but I think it's a great thing.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
It's like a really.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Nice thing to see because my dad was just such
a loving person, you know. So and as the years
go by, it's nice. Like you said, you know, sometimes
it takes loss to bring people closer, and I think
that might have been what happened with my brother as well.
Speaker 7 (05:04):
You know, yeah, my you know, I have a brother
and a sister. My brother is seven years apart. He's
seven years younger than me, and we used to beat
the hell out of him if we used to exile
him from all from the bedroom and stuff. And man,
I couldn't be more our relationship currently, it couldn't be
more opposite, because he became the ultimate family man, you know,
(05:25):
you know, and he's the best dad ever to his kids,
and I feel like I'm a little bit more closer
to him these days. So for my brother, there is that.
But then my sister has taken over the role as
the matriarch of the family. My sister, it carries on
in connection with what Elvis was saying earlier. She's she's
the one who's the connection to the past. She brings
(05:47):
all the recipes from our you know, my great grandparents
and my grandparents. She's still bringing all the old pictures together,
and she's the one to reminisce. And I love that
about my sister. So I feel like my sister is
the that binds my entire family for that. So, you know,
so for that reason, I could say that I appreciate
her for that as well, So I could appreciate I
(06:08):
appreciate them both on different levels.
Speaker 6 (06:10):
Hey, don't you feel like we're sitting in one of
those structures where there's a fire in the middle and
it's all dark.
Speaker 7 (06:16):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Yes, what are those called the Yeah, we're in the yurt.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
I think more like a feeling circle, like past the baton.
Speaker 7 (06:25):
Yeah, it's a nice group therapy, these dandies that you've
been giving us. The last few days have been very heartfelt.
These aren't your usual dandies.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Yeah, you know, I can't always be like, where was
the most awkward place you farted?
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Sorry?
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yeah, where's your answer?
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (06:43):
So yeah, what is that expression? Imitation is the sincerest
form of flattery, Like throughout my whole life, I've just
realized I've imitated my brothers, who imitated my dad. And
I think that's the greatest thing, the fact that, you know,
the reason I drive a lady truck because my brother
I'm a lady truck.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Truck runs in the family.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
I love it.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
I find myself constantly asking them for recommendations on certain things,
and you know it. I don't know, maybe it's different
in my family, like we're not as close as we
were when we were younger, because obviously, I mean I
shared a bedroom with them until I was sixteen seventeen
years old, and uh, you know, of course we needed
our space when we got older. But I know my
(07:26):
brothers would do anything for me. So it's such a
great feeling to know that you have that. No matter
what else you have in life, you always have that
to fall back on. So uh, yeah, I gotta say
they're they're more like me than I want to admit,
and I'm more like them than I want to admit,
(07:47):
which I guess is a compliment in and of itself.
So uh yeah, I don't know what I'd do without them.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Oh, do we go to Scott.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Scot speaking of parts, gather his thoughts?
Speaker 4 (08:01):
No, not at all.
Speaker 8 (08:01):
It's just my brother and I were not very close
growing up. I mean, we were at odds on everything.
We fought a lot, I mean, I mean, and the
turning point there was probably the one time when I
was in day camp and he fought he beat some
kid up because the kids stole my Fred Flintstone coin
purse and he got it back for me. So I
had a whole new, you know, love for him at
(08:22):
that point. But we still we did not become close
really until we were much older, Like I was in
my probably late teens and had already moved out of
the house, and you know, we became closer as we
got older. And it makes me kind of sad because
I feel like I missed a lot of years with him.
Just like my girls now, they are they just head
(08:43):
to head all the time. They fight nonsense. It's not
even like every once in a while they don't get along.
They don't get along at all, and it makes me
sad to see that that they're missing out in all
these good years when they should be really close. And
I'm doing my best to try to, you know, get
them to like each other a little bit. But I
feel like they'll also see it as they get older,
because they know that they're going to need each other.
(09:03):
And yeah, you know, it's it's it's tough right now,
but yeah, I mean as people grow up in age,
you know, they they realize it, and uh, you know,
I think that's when you become closer with your siblings.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
I have an idea for you to get your daughters closer. Yes,
buy them a Fred Flintstone coin.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
That was in the Fruity Pebble's box. They don't do
that anymore. Maybe they have. It is so weird you
are close ALUs
Speaker 2 (09:30):
The Elvisterland after party
Get your hit us together and we're going to stop.
And Patty, I'm ready to party.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
The Elvis Duran after party.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
I'm in the mood for a number. And come on,
Dandy Kane, come on Dan. Oh god, sorry?
Speaker 3 (00:22):
And again high school flashbacks when I was called greasy piglesi.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
By the way, you don't know this. We still call
you yeah in.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
The group chat.

Never go ahead, Andy, What do you got?
Speaker 5 (00:35):
So?
Speaker 3 (00:35):
I thought this would be a good one for sibling appreciation.
All of us have siblings, So what is one thing
that you kind of appreciate about your sibling? And also
maybe a second question, when did you actually start liking
your sibling? Because I hated my sister up until I

Speaker 1 (00:52):
Really, oh yeah, we did not love her. Now she's awesome.
We actually use you to get to her CHUSTI I

Speaker 3 (01:01):
It's great, but yeah, I mean Jackie and I when

For us to actually bond.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
But I love and this is sibling appreciation that Jackie
is always kind of the extrovert when I'm more introverted.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
You can bring her anywhere.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
She's like, can just lighten up a room with conversation,
and she just I feel brings that the best in

has made me so bold and taking chances and reaching

know there's somebody that's gonna catch me no matter what.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
It's really nice, it's great.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Yeah, she's the best.
Speaker 6 (02:21):
I have two brothers and are older than me, believe
it or not. There are people in my family older
than me, and you know what.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
They live in Dallas. I live in New York.
Speaker 6 (02:30):

them for that all. So, when my mom and dad
got very sick and I could not go home as
much as I wanted to, they were there taking care
of my mom.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
And dad, and I'll always be very appreciative of that.
So I do appreciate them very much.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
See, for me, my sister and I are eleven years different,
so she's eleven years younger than I am. So she
was always like the little kid and I always loved her,
and I always, you know, felt like I had to
take care of her and you know, make sure she

because that's just what we did. And I would have
(03:54):
to call friends over to come and sit on him
so that I could beat him back.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
But anyway, he's uh, you know. But over the years
we grew a lot closer, and I see he's an
incredible dad, and he's just he's just a nice My
brother is a nice person. He's like there's not a
bad bone in his body. He wouldn't be mean to anybody.
He loves to make people happy, which I love about him.
And I learn also more and more about the relationship
he had with my dad. Like we all have this
(04:25):

(04:46):
which is my sister in lave will say is probably
not a great thing, but I think it's a great thing.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
It's like a really.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Nice thing to see because my dad was just such
a loving person, you know. So and as the years
go by, it's nice. Like you said, you know, sometimes
it takes loss to bring people closer, and I think
that might have been what happened with my brother as well.
Speaker 7 (05:04):
You know, yeah, my you know, I have a brother
and a sister. My brother is seven years apart. He's
