I a with a member of the show.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
What's up Everybody? Happy Weekends?
Speaker 3 (00:10):
But Steve's joining me. We were just sitting in here
talking about vertigo. I probably should just turn the mics.
Speaker 4 (00:15):
It's okay, though you'll never get to hear it and
we're not going to repeat it, so sorry.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
No, you know, it's good to have personal and yeah, yeah,
it's great. The mic is professional. That was our personal
moments help at each other with medical problem.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Exactly as we age, we fall apart.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
That is the truth of a Jane.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
You get your privileged to age, but Mahn doesn't kind
of suck tall story age.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Yeah, because even this morning, I woke up and I've
been sleeping for the longest time where one of my
most comfortable positions is where I will sleep on my
right side, but I put my right arm up underneath
the pillow, and so I have like this like thing
where it's arm pillow and then into my head and
it creates like this like nice little thing around my
neck that feels good.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
But when I wake up in the morning, I have this.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Like sharp shooting pain right in like that I call
my angel wings where it's like, uh, well, I don't
know what the real name for it is.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
I know what you're talking about, those muscles that like
where an angel wing.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Would be exactly. Yeah, And I feel like there's like
some there's like a bone there or something. When you're
moving in and somewhere in there, it's like someone's taking
a knife and just shoving in there and they're just
twisting it and turning it and they're lighting it on fire,
and it hurts so bad.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Right now, I do realize you're sleeping in that position
for like seven hours.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
I know it's yeah, exactly, but I do toss and
turn a little bit more, but then I'll go back
into that position. But I never had that problem when
I was like seventeen or nineteen or twenty five.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Yeah, you can sleep with your head cranked and you'd
wake up be like that's fine.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Exactly, ye grab me a beer.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
The things that have been are much different. I've been
sleeping with a pregnancy pillow late.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Late Oh really okay, I no, gosh.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
No, it's where the vertigo and idstand, so you have
to like kind of sleep sitting up. And I couldn't
find anything to be comfortable because I'm a stomach or
side sleeper and I've been having to sleep on my back.
Really yeah, and this pregnancy pillow, man, it shouldn't just
be for pregnant people.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
This thing is amazing.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
That's the one that goes between your legs, right, so it's.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
A U shape and you can move it in between
your legs, but okay, surround your whole body.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Yes, yeah, we have one of those when my wife
was pregnant the first time. Yeah, they're amazing.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Oh my gosh. Why don't more people sleep with these?
They should not be a pregnancy thing.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
This is just.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Like I get that it's for that, but oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Yeah, but anyone can use it, especially because it does
put you in a nice position to where if you
like to sleep sort of like I guess unconventional because
you're supposed to sleep like flat, like you're in like
almost like a vessel. That's the best to your exactly, confide,
it's best for your spine and for your alignment and everything.
Which I try to sleep that way, but then it's
just not as comfortable as on your side.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Or on your mind.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Is comfortable about back sleeping? No?
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Nothing?
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Yeah, but you have to, so we try and then
we fail. But those pillows make it easier and make
it feel more comfortable when you're sleeping, and the weird ways.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
We do exactly, and then you can be in weird
positions and not have a cranked thing.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
You're forty five years.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Old, exactly old I was. I was hot for anything.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
I know you're not.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
You're still in your thirties doing okay. You know your
body's acting like your forty five.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Years yeah, yah, not sixty five.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Oh my god. Well see then I made you young.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Oh yeah, exactly, So thank you sort.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Of your wife. I do want to know how Valentine's
Day went. What did you guys do for Valentine's Day?
Speaker 1 (03:12):
It was great, I'm trying to think so.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Normally our tradition has been and mostly when we used
to live back in the West Coast because were around
her family a lot, we started tradition of always doing
Valentine's Day as like a good community thing a lot
because most of her aunts or titas their husbands have
passed or whatever, and so we would all get together
because we all live in the same block in California
up the state. It was Antioch, California, not the Antioch here,
(03:35):
but Antioch. Yeah, Pittsburgh, Antioch out of the East Bay.
People know, people know, people know where that is right
there down the four of the freeway.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Lots of traffic.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Okay, lunchbox, we don't need all the details of work, Antiochet,
give me back to the Valentine Okay.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Yeah, So we would always do like a communal Valentine's
Day where we would go to like Costco and get
like lobster tails and we really good cuts of steak,
and like they would all the tea does would make
some sort of Filipino food, like they'd make like or
they make oh koy, or they'd make some sort of
or some really good food and it would pair well
with what my wife and I are making, which is
more like an American side dish, a little surf and
turf and whatever. Maybe some pasta I always like makes fish.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
All those sound cool?
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Yeah, oh man, it's really good. I think, well, do
you You don't eat seafood?
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Right?
Speaker 4 (04:17):
No, dang, we couldn't eat oakoi because it has like
little piece of shrimp in it, but it's really good.
You can probably make a vegetarian version where it's got
everything else where like the bean sprouts and like the
potato that they make out of it, and it's like
fried and.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
There's a I loveto I don't have to say anymore
potato exactly.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Bean sprouts. You need bean sprouts. So it's got all
that in there. It's really really good. And you did
the best thing about Filipino food is the the sabal
with the sauce or things, right, I know, and everything
tastes really good too, and then the sauces you dip
it in really big on taking.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
You could do this for any like fish in general.
You don't eat fish.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Sing it, but try it with something vinegar, if you know,
whatever goes well with vinegar, so vinegar, pepper, garlic, and
I think a little bit of lemon, and that's like
one of their dipping sauces that will just make fresh
and it's just it pairs well.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
But we'll make that. They'll make this.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
We hang out, we do that kind of Valentine's Day
and then we haven't done that obviously a while because
I don't live in San Francisco anymore.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
So if you kind of recreated it with your family
and all the kids, like you're having a community Valentine's Day.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Yeah, that's kind of what it is now.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
So now it's the same thing but in a smaller scale,
but now it's with yes, the kids and my wife
and myself. On Valentine's Day, we'll do some sort of
like cooking together and eating together and like the whole
kind of thing. We always exchange cards, not big on
the gift thing because usually we put all of our
money every year into a big vacation and so we're like,
so our focus is always, like I on the prize,
every bit of cash that we have. Don't buy anything
(05:37):
a little or stupid or whatever. Focus on not saying
valteze is stupid, but focus on the big prize, which
is our vacation in the summer. So we're saving up
for Hawaii, so like, all right, all the money goes
to that. Cards are great because we always like to
show appreciation for each other and find a car.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
That matches us.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
A little bit of chocolates because I know your wife
loves some sweets because we've bonded over that.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Yeah, I didn't get chocolates, but we did when we
got at Costco that day we went to so we
had a great day to get it together. That day,
we had breakfast together. I wasn't here on Friday through
the day off, by the way, so we had breakfast
together and then we went to Costco. When we go,
we had to bring the whole pack.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Yep, whole crew.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
And when you got a kid at seven, four and
two in Costco, it's fun, it's fine, but man, it's
like it's a lot because one wants to go here,
one wants to go there, and one wants to be
in the car. One doesn't want me in the car once.
One wants to eat the blueberries we just got. And
then they give the blueberries. We're like, all right, find
they're hungry. I can't deprive my kids of food if
they're hungry. And then by the time we get the
end of Costco, we're almost down with the blueberries are
gone and it's like, oh my gosh. So her and
(06:36):
I got to go and we got to enjoy it,
spend a solid hour getting what we want, loading the
cart up, no one pulling on us, know this, that
and the other. It was awesome. And then we came
home and got the kids and then we did at
the whole dinner thing and we got chocolate cover strawberries
at Costco. That was a point of Costco.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Got it and then maybe gets a version of some treats.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Yeah exactly, Yeah, and it she loves those, trust me.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Like I said, we we bonded over every time we've
been out of evince together.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
We were always at the dessert table together.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Yes, like Chris Jansen's house, I remember Christiansen's house.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Did she ever come to CMA's I feel like she did, yeah,
because I.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Think we were bonding over the dessert table there also.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Yeah exactly.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
So all about the sweets or one of those like
the label shows where it's like, hey, come to the
ben M gym lounge before they always have like a
spread of all us.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
It was one of those because we were in the
lounge at bridge Stone and they had like a dessert spread. Okay, yes,
I don't know what the event was, but I do
remember her and I both being over there.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Chocolate, desserts, sweets put him in the mouth. Ye.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Yeah, she's all about it and I'm about it too.
So yeah, so we have to have some sort of
like sweets or chocolate whatever. But we did that little
low key But then the next day the fifteenth, we
got our sitter. She came over and watched the kids,
and her and I went to try out this new
place over here called Choi.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Yeah, it's next to market. It's really good.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Yeah, Oh my gosh, it's really really good. That's the
one where I was telling you I don't know what
a what where this goes. But remember at the end
of the other one with the questions and answers, where
I was like, oh, I like that for you.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
What is this air in place?
Speaker 2 (08:03):
This is first hear that.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Oh you'll hear that in part two, Part three, Part three,
So in part three this will all pay off towards
the end of that episode, if you even get a
chance to get that far into it. Because if you're
not already bored, I'm so sorry about my long ass
story about four.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Okay, but you should continue.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
You're probably bored though I'm not.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Okay, but I can't.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
I can't show a lot of facial expressions right now,
and they look like I either have botox or I'm uninterested,
but I promise I'm not.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
You are very still. You're very still, and you're not
moving a lot. I'm like, all right, okay.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
That's why I'm trying to yes, yeah, yeah, and then
I'm like, oh my.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
God, Steven, You're an idiot. She has vertigo. She can't
to her body.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
We just talked about this off air or off mic,
that she's trying her absolute best to be completely still.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
She's not gonna move.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Yeah, I have to be a pretty prince y.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Hold on, sorry, We're gonna take one quick break and
I want you to finish this. Okay, all right, okay,
finish your story.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
So we got a Choi really really good.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
I actually enjoyed it a lot because I don't know
if man Chohan still owns it, but she used to
own that whole block right there, Mockingbird. There's one next
to it where Choi is now, and it was kind
of like an infusion of Asian and Indian food.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
I know what you're talking about, but I don't. I
don't think it's there anymore.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
It's not because that's where Choy's at. Okay, so Choi
took its spot, so she had that one, and then
next to it is that straight up Indian restaurant.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
I think it's like called Chauna or Chiuana.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Oh chiwan Alehouse.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
Yes, So that's straight up Indian food and they have
butcher that name. That's fine, yeah, but people will figure
it out. It's that block. But she own for sure
Mockingbird in that one. Maybe she rebranded and now it's
Choi because it has an it kind of feels like
it could be hers or maybe she.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
I don't know, but it's really good.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
It's really good San Francisco based Chinese food, but on
like a higher level because everything is like elevated and
looks really pretty and like really good ingredients. And we
got I mean the food there, all of it's really
really good. We got the show Mai or shoe Mai,
which is really good and you couldn't eat that because
it's got meat in it.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
I just love all the names. Yeah, genuinely, I really
love all the names of You should go try.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
I mean literally, it's so close just one day, like
after work or something. I mean, I don't maybe that
don't Untilly four though, I can just go.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Sit at the bar and try, like do they have
do they have.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
They have fried rice? Yes?
Speaker 3 (10:10):
That's always my go to really like either Chinese Japanese
type restaurants because it's so good.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Oh yeah, and that's the.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
One thing I can typically eat.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
But I always like will sit at a bar in
those snares because I'm literally just ordering right.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Yeah, I'll just have fried rice please, in a lot
of alcohol, some vegetarian stuff. I don't have a menu
on me, but because I don't work there, But.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Here's your menu, and here's a rinking menu.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
But they have a lot of things that you could
eat there that are vegetarian based, or at least I
don't have a lot of meat, or you can remove
the meat, say I don't want steak in this.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Or I don't want whatever I want, just that without it.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Yeah, because man, we had some sort of skirts at
New York Strip Steak and some sort of bed of
like amazing onions and the sauce. The big thing is
the sabow the sauce with Asian food again.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Just makes the meal basically turn into a food podcast.
And I really look that for us.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Yes I do too.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Yeah, I am interested, even though I cannot.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
I love that for you. So this was a restaurant
which will pay in bar three at the end. So
we're sitting, we're having a good time, really great food,
and her and I were drinking. She like and she
loves gin, so when she's on a gin night, like
she's going down and whiskey.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
I love whiskey. So I had bourbon whiskey.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Rye that like family, and so I had They had
some sort of like their version in old fashioned really
really good, like super delicious, and then she had a
bunch of gin drinks. And so we're drinking only cocktails
and alcohol. Some guy rolls up and he's like, hey,
do you guys want some wine? Oh, I forget, forget
what she said some of the one lines. I'm like, no,
(11:38):
we're good, We're only we're drinking alcohol. And he's like, okay,
are you sure and then she's like yeah, we like
we don't and then he starts. He still keeps going
in what we're really trying to show that, you know,
Asian food really pairs well with wine, and he's like
doing this whole thing and we're just trying to enjoy it.
We don't go out very often. We go once a
month and it's also our Valentine's Day.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Leave us alone, yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Exactly, And our waiter was Our waiter was amazing at that.
I wish I remembered his name to recommend him when
you go there. But man, he was really good because
he was stealth. He knew when to come in and
ask for if we needed something, or when nass for orders.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
And he knew when to do great self awareness.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Yes, great self awareness.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
He knew when he was walking by, like oh they're
having a moment and don't really stop now they look fine.
No awareness. But he's also I'm sure he's I think
a somalia. So it's based on tips and percentage and
how he makes his money. So I understand he's got
the hustle. I get it. But there's like forty other tables.
So once you get the vibe, it ain't happening and
maybe it's probably just let's go to the next one
or maybe try later or something. But he wasn't getting
(12:34):
We were like deep into a conversation. I don't remember
about what, but it was. It was like a deep
conversation and he's like you guys as like, you guys
want some mine. We're like no, we're good, Uh sure,
you know what it's like, No, we don't want the wine.
And he starts still, he goes off about the pairing
of it and everything. My wife goes, oh, I just
love that for you. That's oh my god, that's so
awesome for you. And then he's then he starts cracking
(12:55):
up and walks off, and he's like, Okay.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
It's a great saying. I love that for you exactly.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
She says it more sarcastically than me most of the
time when I say, I do really mean it.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
But I could see how it could totally be used
as a sarcastic phrase.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Oh my, she's three gin drinks.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
She's three gin drinks, and and and she's like, mmm,
You're like, oh shit, he's here.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
It comes.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
She doesn't want to be bothered, and she said, no,
she gets the sales side she used to work out, Yeah, exactly,
And she gets the sales side things she used to
work in banking and sales and all that. She understands
what he's trying to do, and of course has something
to accomplish.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
But when you get the know, you get the no,
you move on.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
You know.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
This reminds me of an incident that recently happened, but
in a better way.
Speaker 2 (13:33):

place called Bradish. It's like I was in desperhenated of

at the cash register about both of us having our
head in the clouds and.

different and you're like, oh you have vertigo.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Oh you literally have oh okay, and she felt bad.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Yeah, And I really didn't mean it in a way
of like I literally when she was like, hey, I'll

Speaker 2 (14:51):
Like I'm fine as.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Kind of weird.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Right, You're like like, of course it's awesome, of course,

like it's cool.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
She's like, no, like this is on us.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
So we had had like a cool conversation, and I
was like, you know, on them customer service.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Oh yeah, that's one thing that you don't I see it,
but then you don't see it a lot. So when
you don't see it a lot, you feel like it's
just dead across the board. But when you've come across
like that, you're like, oh my god, some good old
school customer service. Like for some of that nineties customer
service where it's like, oh my god, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
I apologize. You're like no, and you're like it's not
only a big deal, I don't care.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
But they're still on that level of like, I don't
want to lose your business, and maybe because they are
burnt by those jerks that go and yelp and they'll
be like, oh, everything's just fine, and then they'll go
on there thirty minutes later and go I asked for
napkins and I only got two, and I wanted my really.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Great voice for whoever for those people are, yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
I only got two, and I asked for napkins. I
wanted more, but I didn't ask for more. But I'm
gonna come here and bitch and complain about that I
didn't get more even though I didn't ask for more.
I could have easily asked for more, but I didn't,
but I rather complain behind their back and ruin their
rating and take their four or whatever star thing and
you know, bringing down a notch and screw it.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Oh, And this is like, what, why even do that?
Speaker 4 (16:03):
So I understand why some people are like, no, no,
we need to give her a free bol no matter
what because you could be the person that would go
on there. But like, yeah, she made fun of me
and talked about me and said at Vertigo and really
really made me feel da da da and then sort
of whole campaign and get her fired and then the
company goes down and then they're tarnished and they're canceled.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
It's like horrible, Like I couldn't have her, I personally could.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Never you wouldn't. But people will do that kind of crap.
They do that stuff all the time.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Everybody should have to work a customer service job in
their life, yes, to understand in their life, to understand
what customer service is like, it doesn't matter what kind,
but just customer service.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
And if you have and you forgot, remember that time.
Remember the perspective of ass whole customers, all customers that
are that are cool, that you tripped up with, and
then the experience of like helping them out. And also,
I think it feels good when you're doing a customer
service based job and you are able to make someone's
day go from crap to better or something so little
and insignificant because you had some sort of little power
(16:57):
to give them whatever. I feel like that's it's it's
so insignificant to the actual cost of the business, but
it pays off in huge dividends because then you have
that one customer for.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Life and makes me laugh.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Sorry, I don't know why.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Really it's okay, it's okay, but you have a customer
for life.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
But then that also becomes a word of mouthing of
like y'all went to Radish this one time and I
was there, and you tell your story, but then she
gave me the bowl for you was so cool, and
oh my god, that's awesome. And then they think about
Radish as a positive experience, and then they may drive
by it or see it, or she's having on social
or they're hungry and like, let's go to Radish. It
just creates that what I consider the the in the
fabric of a DNA of someone for like a long
(17:37):
term win, which is a weird way to put it,
but I feel like that is a huge customer servicing
that is that is lost on most people because they're
just so stretched and busy and tired.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
It goes back to that when you were saying, like
the DNA of yourself, like you never forget how somebody
made you feel.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Yeah, ever.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Yeah, but and it goes both ways from customer service
to the client and vice versa.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Yeah, yeah, I do have.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
I have another story of like kind of customer service
type situation. We're going to take a quick break and
i'll come back. I'll tell you what happened. So while
I was at Trader Joe's you want to speak of
Valentine's Day, I was buying myself flowers to put.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Together like a little bouquet for Trader Joe.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
From Trader Joe's, Yeah, and the sweetest old man was
also in the bouquet section and I kind of looked
at him and I could tell he was trying to
make some decisions and I just looked at him and
I smiled, kind of like saying I was a friendly
face in case you needed something. And sure enough, like
that was all he needed. He goes, can you help me?
And I was like, yeah, Like, what's up? I don't
(18:33):
work here. He's like, no, I'm trying to pick out
fun bouquet for my wife to put together. Can you
tell me if these go together? And he was just
so stinking cute about it, and he like he had
picked a bunch and me and another girl that were
standing there were like, well, maybe like take away this one.
And then he was like okay, and he felt really
good about it. But then I could tell he was
(18:53):
still contemplating some more and I was like, you might
need to add a little bit more greenery to that,
and he's like, that's what I was thinking. It was
just this is such a cute stranger interaction. I'll never
see this man again in my life probably no. Yeah, yeah,
but it was such a cute moment where he was
trying to do something nice and it was strangers being
kind to each other, and it just gave me a
little bit of hope again. Oh yeah, yeah, people interacting
(19:15):
in person and being kind.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
To each other.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
Yeah, which is which is when it happens East happened
so much more often, but it's still pretty cool to see.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
And also that I think he probably looked at you
and was like, oh, it's like my daughter. My daughter's
really give a flowers. She reminds me my daughter. Karen. Oh, Karen,
I wish you're here right now.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
But there's a woman who looks just like Karen. I'll
ask I'll ask this woman over here, I mean, ma'am.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Yeah, And it was a great little good. It was
a cute moment.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
So I don't remember you for ever now too, Like
I remember that one Valentine's Day.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Yeah, it was like I could have been so I
could have been so mean and been like I'm single
on Valentine's staying together, this is stupid. But HI instead
was like, this guy is so cute and I'll want
to help him and we're all just buying flowers.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Oh yeah, plus by helping him, and also you know
that the effect that's going to have on his day
when he goes home. And then if he would have
done it, it could have been this absolute show he
could have had.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
She's like, you don't have the He's like, I don't know,
but because you guys are there.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
To help guide him, She's like, go, wow, you did
a really good job. And he may either a give
you credit or but you go, yeah, I know, I
sure did.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
I hope.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
I hope he took every bit of credit.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Which is awesome. He totally should though.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
He should because he was putting in the effort and work.
I was just a blip on the on the helping radar.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
You like, help this gut or maybe reaffirm something. He
was thinking like, I'm not sure if I should have this,
but then when you said it, he's like, oh yeah,
if she's saying and then it's got to be it.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Okay, cool.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
It was such awesome, so cool, little like faith in
humanity restored moments.

up as we're talking about it. But I liked him
when we first met him, were a member CMAS weird.

had already heard some of his songs. Okay, that was
my first interaction in person with him, but I loved him.

I was like, dude, I love your stuff. He's like, wait, really,
as a I listened to you.
Speaker 1 (21:33):

Speaker 4 (21:34):
He's still like genuine and so like Saals of the Earth,
like just a very normal dude from Tennessee. But I
had never heard of him. I had no idea who
he was. I knew nothing about him. It wasn't on
my radar until that CMA moment. I just saw name
and that I'm like, who's Red Farren? And I was like,
I don't know, I've never heard of it. I'm le's
see what happens. I was saying, maybe it's a group
or something.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
I was I just wasn't sure any number of things,
had no idea, and.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
I kind of love going into something not knowing what
it is or what's happening, or what's what it's going
to be, because then and there's no expectation, and I think,
no matter what, then it's gonna be fun. I think
it's gonna be so awesome. And he came in and
his energy was just like this really really really cool dude,
and I was like, Man, this guy's awesome. I want
him to win. I want him to succeed. I want
him to be like the next big thing because he's
just so freaking cool. And I think people will love
(22:16):
his music. The song I got it and I found it.
It's called just like Johnny Oh yeah good, yeah good,
And so it's like his homage to Johnny Cash, which
I guess he's a big fan of Johnny Cash and
that's one of his influences. And so it's like it
has more like a rock tone to it, but country
rock kind of vibe.

They had building bear stuff because my wife used to
work at Universal and they would have she worked for
the head that she worked for the president, like product development,
like toys for movies and TV shows. She'd always come
with these prototypes and stuff. And so we have to
build a bear prototypes one of forget who who it is,
but one's toothless from how to Train Your Dragon. So

the whole process or experience of doing it.
