like huge house that we saw, like Dolly lived there.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
Oh that's funny.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
And we told lunchboxes parents that that's where Dolly lived.
Actually I told Lunchbox, and I think Lunchbox told his
parents that's where up spirally and they had they went
and took a picture in front of it. And I
have no idea whose house that is.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
Okay, So, one time when my family first was visiting here,
one year when I had first moved here. This was
when the show Nashville was still popular. Speaking of houses,
we got lost on a hike. And when I tell
you lost, I had no idea. I wasn't familiar with
the area in town. In town it was at Yeah,
it was a really cool hike. That's about twenty minutes

(01:54):
out of town. Okay, so near town but not we
are like totally the Oh so you're not in town, No, okay,
we're in this like hike We're lost. I have no
idea where we're at. I can't help I'm already bad
at directions. I don't know this area. Anyways, we're sembling around.
My sister falls in a ditch on our little thing.
It was this whole thing, right. We stumble to find
a road and we're kind of looking around and we

(02:16):
see a really big house and so we like walk up,
trying to like, okay, let's just follow the road and
try and get somewhere. We walk up to the house
they were filming the TV show Nashville is the Nashville House.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
The crew was there and everything everything.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
They're security at the front gates, and we were like what,
We're not trying to go in, but like what's happening here?

Speaker 3 (02:36):
They really thought we were trying to like break into
the set, but we were just lost because you all.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Look like probably just regular fans, and we.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
Were We watched the show, so we liked the show.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
It was Raina's house. Yeah, wow, cool? And I want
to ask you where that.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Is because like, well, I think they've sold it. Now,
where is it? Percy Warner Park.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
Oh, that's not that's in town.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Yeah, it's like outskirts of Nashville.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Okay, okay, yeah, okay.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Jersey Warner is huge. The park itself is huge.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
That's huge. Yeah. And we so that's hard because there's
a lot of horse trails, lots of trails. What's cool
about that park, though, is you can hike it and
feel like you're in.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
The middle of nowhere exactly.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
You really just like ten minutes from town, which is nice.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
That's the cool experience. But yeah, we and we stumbled
upon it and.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Wow, and they were shooting and everything. That's really cool.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
It was a cool experience.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yeah. See, I don't know where that is. I don't
know where anyone lives. Like really, I've been to been
to like maybe four like country singers, like big, big
country singers homes.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Uh And I couldn't tell you how to get there now,
Like it was just like, you know, put in the
GPS and like follow follow the directions, but I don't
think I can get to them.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
Well, and there's so many nice areas now that have
really big houses. Yeah, and we have a lot of
old wealth in Tennessee, yes we do. So you could
see a really big house I mean, like, that's definitely
a famous person because if you know Nashville.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
But it's not like a doctor.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
Or someone that like invented a screw that only like
works for surgery.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
Or like a random rocker yea, we have we just
have random here, yeah, or athlete.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Or Stephen Tyler lived here. I don't know if he
still lives here.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
But it's my favorite thing to see big houses and
predict what they do.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
You should knock on the door, Oh, do.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
Like be like that guy like, hey, what do you
do for your house?

Speaker 2 (04:26):
That guy that would be trustrating.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
You can just knock on the door. They don't have
to answer, right.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
That's true, But I feel like that's kind of a
I knock on one and it's Keith Urban and he's.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
Like, Morgan my house.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
But you don't play that game with big houses.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
I mean I think I did, but now I'm just like,
I don't know. I never I'm never gonna know. So
why I asked that.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
Question, So did you take him to fake houses and pretend?

Speaker 1 (04:53):
I started to like be just kind of make stuff up,
and then I'm like, all, I'm gonna be honest, I
don't know where anyone lives, Like I don't know, dude,
I don't know. Let me just take you downtown. I'll
show you brought away and you.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
Guys end up running into anybody, because sometimes that happens.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
We drove, we didn't get out. We went to So
he wanted to see where Jack White's record store was. Okay,
which is downtown.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
Where's his record store? What's it called?

Speaker 1 (05:16):
It's called third Man, third Man Record.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
Oh, I didn't realize that was his.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
Yeah, that's his. Which is so funny you say that
because my son I took my seventeen year old with
us and he's in the store and he like is
just kind of looking around, and then he comes to
me and goes, wow, there's some major Jack White glazing
going on to the store, Clay Yeah, which means like
you know when you.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
Like when they're super hyped up or yeah, when you
hype some something up.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
Yeah, Oh that's a new one.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
Jack White glazing big time. And I'm like, what are
you talking about. He's like, look at this, Like, whoever
owns this store is like a huge fan of Jack White.
He's everywhere and I'm like, idiot, this is his store,
he owns it. And he goes oh, that would make sense.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
So a lot of glaziers going on there, a lot
of glazing.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
Yeah, dude, it is his store. I would glaze.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
That's funny.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
So we did that and then he wanted so we
just drove through Broadway.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
You didn't actually take him and get out on Broadway.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
No, because my mom was there and like your moment
on Broadway, I know, but you know, we didn't want
to park and do anything. And it was literally on
the way to the airport to drop them off, like
we're gonna go because you did that.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
You did that intentionally, I know you did.

Speaker 3 (06:22):
He said, I'm going to tell you this, but it's
not going to be so we're not saying yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
I mean really didn't want to get out of the car.
So we just kind of did the tour. I took
him to Hattie be'es. We did get out of the
car and we ate Hattiv's on Broadway, a different one,
a different one. We didn't want to go Broadway because
there'd be a lot of people.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
Yeah, you did it.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
Let me ask let me ask you what you think
about this. Let me ask you what you think about this,
because it was kind of a discussion. So, uh, we
go to hattie Bee's and he goes to order and
he and it was his idea. He's like, I want
to go to hatty Bee's, like I want to. I
want to try hot chicken. And it was that or
princess or whatever I said, did Hattiv's is better? Let's
go to hetty Be's. I know long debate.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
You're a liar for that, but yeah I'm not.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
But so anyway, Hey, I'm the chicken guy.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
Okay, fair, I haven't even either.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
Yeah, exactly what are you talking about?

Speaker 2 (07:08):
I just experienced with people visiting so hot chicken.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
What is hot chicken?

Speaker 2 (07:14):
To me?

Speaker 3 (07:14):
It's spicy chicken, okay, kind of chicken, like chicken tinders
or chicken sandwiches.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
It feel like it could be anything.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
Okay, all right, well that was kind of the discussion.
So we go and we order. To me, hot chicken,
is you order like chicken on a bone, like.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
Like a wing?

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Yeah, a wing, a thigh, a leg of a breast.
Those are all like pieces. That's how you eat. This
is hard for me to talk to you about this
because you're not you don't eat this stuff.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
No, But I know what all these things are.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Okay, So like I guess you can eat it different ways.
I get it. But to me, eating hot fried, natural
hot chicken is like fried chicken, like you would get
a Kentucky fried chicken. It's on the bone.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
Oh okay, we're connecting to CAFC.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
Yeah, right, and so and so he it was idea
to get hot chicken. He wanted to try hot chicken.
And he gets a chicken sandwich. Yeah, and my mom
is like, now what are you doing? Like you're getting
hot chicken, get the hot chicken. And he was like, nah,
I I just want a sandwich. And I was like, dude,
get the hot chicken. Like, if you're gonna get the
hot chicken, like we brought you to get hot chicken,

(08:18):
you want to experience it, like the way to do it.
And it's just like I'm gonna get a sandwich. We're like, okay,
we just left it. But to me, I'm like, why
would you?

Speaker 3 (08:27):
I think every single person that I've had visiting always
gets a hot chicken sandwich.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Really, guys, you're doing it all wrong, but you're still
eating the same thing.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
Not really you are.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
Really it's a chicken tinder that's fried and put on
a sandwich.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
See I don't even want to have this conversation with anymore.
You are not you don't know what you're talking about.
You're not a chicken eater.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
Well, I think it's hold on.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
If we were talking about tofu, I would be like,
you know what I stand correct.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
Dude, Morgan be mad at me because I'm a vegetarian.
There's chicken tinders that you don't eat as a sandwich.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
And that's not hot chicken.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
But hot chicken is all of it. I under sandwiches.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
I understand that the flavor is hot chicken flavored, that's
what it is. But to me, the hot chicken is
chicken on the bone.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
But here's the thing that you're missing, because if you
go anywhere.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
Else, don't point your finger at me.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
By the way, sorry, I wasn't trying to point at you.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
I was trying to give like a presentation because if
you go to enough different cities, it's funny because they
put Nashville hot Chicken on their menus and they're always sandwiches.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
Where just different cities where.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
Like when I've traveled Yea, not Nashville, Iowa, Chicago not
Nashville where it's from, they'll put Nashville Hot Chicken. So
people connect the dots that Nashville Hot Chicken is a
hot chicken sandwich.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
They're stupid because it's like when you people from New
York City and they're like and they go to Iowa
and there's like New York style pizza and they're like,
that's not New York style pizza. I know New York
style pizza. We're from Nashville. I know. You know that
we've lived here since they invented Nashville Hot Chicken. We
were here when they invented Nashville Hot Chicken. There was

(10:03):
no Nashville Hot Chicken before we got here.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
Really, who invented it? Fact check me, I am, because
I'm a little concerned that that did not just start
in the last ten years.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
I think it did.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
When did wait, when did you move here?

Speaker 1 (10:14):
Twelve years ago? It'll be thirteen in February. Let's see,
it was shoot nineteen.

Speaker 3 (10:22):
And it's actually, you know who invented it? Hattie Prince's Chicken.
National Hot Chicken was invented in the nineteen thirties with
the origin no okay, with the origin story widely traced
back to Thornton Prince's kitchen.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
I get that.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
Legend says that Prince's scorn girlfriend doused his fried chicken
with cayenne pepper to punish him for being unfaithful, but
he ended up loving the spicy dish. He then started
selling to add his restaurant p Sourbon Chicken Shack Sourbon legend,
which helped the dish become a Nashville staple.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
Okay, Well, it wasn't really a big thing until we
moved here.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
Fact, eggs are hard.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
Okay, fine, I stand corrected.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
It could have not been as popular or fame it wasn't,
or like dragged to other cities.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
It wasn't. That is probably more your We saw the growth,
eyewitnessed to the growth of it, Okay. And it wasn't
a chicken tender, and it wasn't a chicken sandwich.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
But Princess Hot Chicken sells chicken sandwiches and they're the
origin story.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
Sure, so Princess is the original. So I guess I
have to like Prince.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
I'm not a fan of Princess really. Maybe just tried
the wrong things. Maybe you haven't tried the.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
Chicken, you know what, Maybe that's it. Maybe I need
to go back and try the tender and the chicken sandwich.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
Who knew hot chicken was going to be the debate
of your family, huh?

Speaker 1 (11:34):
I know.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
My mom was like, I'm on the guy side.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
My mom was offended. She's like, you're not getting the chicken.
Like She's like, I am, I'm getting the chicken sandwich,
Like that's not And I was on my mom's side.
I'm like, you're absolutely right.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
Well, this is justice for your brother in law. I'm
on your brother in law side.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
Okay. What's amazing too, is that they put two pickles,
you know, like little pickle slices on the chicken. That
changes everything. Like, even if it's like the chickens so
hot burns your mouth, put a little bit of pickle
in there and it's great.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
Calms it down, a little bit, palms it down. That's
like when they put pickle spears with sandwiches. If I
go somewhere and they don't and I get a sandwich
and they don't give me a pickle spear, I'm so mad.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
I deserve a pickle spear.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
You do, Every sandwich should come with a pickle spear.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
Yeah, if you say no, that's fine, But I never
say no, give me my pickle.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
Spear pickle jars? Do you put your hands? Do you
grab the pickle with your hands or do you get
a fork?

Speaker 2 (12:23):
Oh? With my hands?

Speaker 1 (12:24):
Yeah, I'm a fork person, mostly because, like I want
to teach that because we have four kids wear nasty hands,
and if I didn't teach them that, they would all
put their hands in there, it'd be disgusting.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
That's fun, get it?

Speaker 1 (12:37):
You live alone? Oh, well, you have a boyfriend, but I.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
Mean, yeah, we don't have a bunch of kids hands
going down there.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
I get it.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
But also just you know, hot take it's one of
those things where the pickle slice with the sandwich or
getting it from a rustaurant is always better.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
Than me getting an avid dar at home.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
Agreed.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
I don't know why.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
I don't know why either they chased the exact same
but something's different psychological, I'm sure my head.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
It's like a hot dog, like you don't want, well,
you don't need hot dogs. It's like you don't want
to know where it came from. Oh yeah, and then
the jar, It's like, is this kind of like sitting
in vinegar and with a bunch of other pickles, and.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
Like, well you pickles been up to.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
It's like you know what it's like During Thanksgiving when
I was cooking the turkey, I was taking all the
stuff out, like the the whatever.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
Organs, the stuff inside grow yeah, livers.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
And stuff whatever, and one of my boys was like, Dad,
what is that? And I was like, well, that's the heart,
that's the liver, and he was like that we're going
to eat that, and like, yeah, it's going to go
in the gravy. I'm not touching gravy, and he didn't.
He didn't touch gravy, and I think I probably ruined
gravy for the rest of his life.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
You might have roomined me. Also, that's how mine started.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
Oh no, he ate a bunch of turkey for now.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
I'm telling you. It sticks in your head. Easy enough
of that, and you're like, what do you mean?

Speaker 1 (13:50):
That's how it started. You saw like what did you
see where You're like, I don't like that? Or was
it just a thought that that's a that's an animal.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
Mine was a thought and then I started seeing it
like my dad was a hunter at one point.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
When I was young.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
That's crazy.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
Oh yeah, they're still boar's head. And it was until
like I became a vegetarian. My mom was like, okay,
we're you need no more dead animals in the house,
and uh yeah, So I often saw things and I
even like, we go fishing, and I just I didn't like.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
No, I never I've never had fish.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
Never, So so you turn before you even try to fish. Yeah,
you've decided you're not going to eat that.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
Yeah, it grossed me out, Like I'm not getting seen
all of that. I was eight when I decided.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
You never had a fish before year eight.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
I've never had fish. I've never had a steak.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
I bet you have.

Speaker 3 (14:34):
The only things I've had were chicken tinners or like
chicken nuggets.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
And a burger nuggets from McDonald's yeah.

Speaker 3 (14:40):
Or Wendy's. I love Wendy's nuggets. Yeah, mostly because they're
honey mustard.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
But so you still remember loving that nugget.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
But because of the honey mustard. They have really bomb
honey mustards us.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
But you'll never have it again. No, I can't do that.

Speaker 2 (14:54):
But yeah, never fish. Never Like turkey. I don't think
I've ever had turkey.

Speaker 1 (14:59):
You're good with that turkey, or ham, you're good without ham.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
It was really like chicken is different I don't know
that I've ever had bacon.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
May oh you had to have you eight years old.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
On things and I just never knew it.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
But I never had eggs and bacon, not.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
That I'm aware of. So yeah, weird life.

Speaker 3 (15:17):

the newborn. I'm Likeran had a baby already.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
I'm like, guys, really, you didn't say anything about it.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
What do you mean you didn't say like my nephew.

Speaker 3 (16:45):
My niece, niece, I talked about her having the baby
on this show.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
I understand, but like you know, you look at a
picture immediately and it's like Morgan with a baby.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
What the Yeah, the only people though to think about
all the things, I guess.

Speaker 3 (16:58):
But so it was the first time. He did really
well handling my whole family.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
Yeah, it's a lot, staying and uh mom, dad, sister,
brother in law, baby.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
And then parents. Yeah, and then three dogs.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
They bought three dogs. That's a lot.

Speaker 2 (17:13):
So it was a full house. We only have three bedrooms.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
Do the dogs mess with the baby at all?

Speaker 2 (17:17):
No, all of them did really well, even mine.

Speaker 3 (17:19):
It took it took my dog Roomy about twenty four
hours to adjust to the baby noises and me holding
a baby.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
Yeah, even like crawling, like they let her crawl.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
She's not crawling yet, she's only eleven weeks.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
But they let her lay on the floor.

Speaker 3 (17:31):
Yeah, right, Well this is also funny. So I'll get
to that. Remy threw up on her mat. Ohmy, Well,
my dad had given Remy ham.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
Of course, and Remy was like, let's go.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
Yeah, and Remy loved it. Remy stomach did not love it.
So we spend the whole next day picking up.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
Throw up everywhere. Poor girl, you do not give your
animals ham dead. Felt like it's fine, we would have
no but she threw up on the play mat that
the baby was doing some me time on the scene.
But so he did really well. He handled everything really well.
And but then we bring him.

Speaker 1 (18:06):
Yeah, okay, so I saw the video explain, like, so
I want to know kind of like the like did
you set the camera up?

Speaker 2 (18:14):
Okay, so this was what was the set up? The
whole backstory. Yeah, So, first of all was a my idea.
It was my sister's.

Speaker 3 (18:19):
She texted me the night before and she's like, I
sent you a TikTok video. We need to do this
Tom Branden and I was like, okay, let me watch
hide laughing. He's like next to me too, and I'm like, shoot,
this is gonna be funny.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
Text your bag.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
So I'm like, you have to tell mom and dad
because I I don't. I'm not gonna be able to
keep that from him.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
So and everyone was on board.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
Every oh yeah. My mom was like this is horrible.
We shouldn't do that to him. I was like, he's fine,
he doesn't care.

Speaker 3 (18:43):
And so it's her daughter's first Thanksgiving, so I literally
like put the camera and she's like, I was like, Taylor,
you want to record like the first grade.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
So it's like a memory. So he did it as
a like muse that it's grace for her daughters.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
That's a great setup.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
And he thought nothing to that.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
I mean, that's who would think like, yeah, perfect cute memory. Yeah,
why not.

Speaker 3 (19:05):
So we get sant Grace and everybody stands up and
starts doing the Pledge of Allegiance and he just is
like what is going on? And my brother in law
was the one who actually gave it away because he
was dying laughing.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
I'm like, my parents were rock solids.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
So did everyone put their hand over the her?

Speaker 2 (19:22):
We were all doing it and he stood up, but
he did it with that.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
He did it. Of course, He's like, okay, this is tradition,
I guess.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
But after like we all could have stop laughing.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
So you guys were sitting down for grace, right, yeah?
And then who said up first?

Speaker 2 (19:36):
Oh? We all just my sister just you kind of
hear her really slightly be like okay, time for the pledge. Okay,
And that's when he was so confusing. He's like, we
just said down?

Speaker 1 (19:46):
Did you did you tell him like hey might get up?

Speaker 2 (19:49):
I looked away from him because I was lying. I
couldn't look at him in this straight face and I
would have given it a way. You can literally see
in the video he looks at me and I'm looking
down like laughing on the others.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
I got to rewatch that video. Did you did you
go all the way through it?

Speaker 2 (20:03):
Oh? We made it through. You could tell it.

Speaker 3 (20:05):
So we laugh at the beginning and then we get to, uh,
do we just stand.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
One and we like to take the rest of it,
like pretty proudly.

Speaker 3 (20:12):
But at this point he's just red in the face
and all of us are still laughing. But you know,
to hit credit, he went along with it unaware of.

Speaker 1 (20:21):
What was your mom? Your mom needs to light up.
That's a funny joke, Like, that's not hurtful, it's funny.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
Well, and I don't she I don't think she knew
how he was going to take it. I know I
wouldn't have agreed to him. I was like, this will
be really uncomfortable for him, but we bring each other
all the time, so I was like, this is perfect.
And then we mess with him because he'd never played
spoons before. Have you played spoons the card game?

Speaker 1 (20:45):
I mean probably probably.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
I don't like pig people. Do peg put their finger on.

Speaker 1 (20:48):
Their nose or yes.

Speaker 3 (20:51):
Which we couldn't figure out why we used to put
spoons on our No, I thought you just grabbed it.

Speaker 2 (20:56):
We had that like did we remember this the wrong way?

Speaker 1 (20:59):
I think you put on your note.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
Yeah, But then I was like, you hide it because
you don't anybody know you wear I don't know. We
couldn't figure it out either.

Speaker 3 (21:06):
But we played Smoom because he had never played, and
poor guy, I mean he lost tragically every game.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
He got spoo pretty quickly. Oh yeah, and then it.

Speaker 3 (21:16):
Was then then he started to figure it out and
found his groove, so he had to quite the moments
of embarrassment.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
That's so much fun. Did you do you guys drink? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (21:27):
During I didn't drink a whole lot, just because I
still haven't really been.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
I'll have like a few SIPs here, and I know.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
We talked about that on the show that I was wondering, like, yeah.

Speaker 3 (21:35):
No, I've stayed away from it. Still, I feel a
lot better not doing it. I bet you do, and
like now it's just not even worth it.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
Yeah, where other than the Sam Adams one.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
Two forty dollars beer, I can't have.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
Had that, dude. I know you really were wanting it though,
because you took like a pigs you took a big
chug out of it.

Speaker 2 (21:51):
You told me to chug it. I guess I noted
that it's only told you to chug your cut.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
Yeah, yeah, of course.

Speaker 3 (21:56):
So yeah, I would try cocktails and stuff, and then
he'd finish most of my tres for me because I
never wanted to finish him. So he was him and
my brother in law bff. They text each other every day.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
That's awesome.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
So they were making bets all the time together.

Speaker 1 (22:09):
Are they about the same age?

Speaker 2 (22:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (22:11):
Yeah, I think my brother in law is a year
younger than him. That's so cool, right about there. And
they went golfing together.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
They did over the break.

Speaker 2 (22:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
Was the weather one.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
Day that it was decent? Oh yeah, at the very beginning.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
It was before Thanksgiving, yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
Yeah, and they were actually Thanksgiving was nice. Yeah, it
was just still a little chilly, but not a loit horrible.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
I remember being outside and being like, this is actually
really nice for Thanksgiving.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
And I want to tell you about because you have babies.

Speaker 1 (22:37):
I have babies. A lot of folks I got babies.

Speaker 3 (22:39):
And after spending a whole week with an eleven week
old baby, I have learned a lot about newborns in
that timeframe. Go ahead and so and his motherhood in general.
But babies, they don't care about your plans. They just
want to eat and sleep whenever they want to. It's
like a dog, oh, very much so, but worse.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
Yeah, because it's a human.

Speaker 3 (22:57):
There's not a schedule. And you have to Like we'd
be out somewhere and she'd start crying. Myself is like
I have to feed, and I'm like, okay, what do
we do? What happens here? Or we'd have to accommodate
the schedule to change to when the baby needs to eat,
us go to sleep, which is new for all of us.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
Was that hard for you to adjust too? Because like her,
it's natural, like she knows that she needs to like
stop and feed or change or whatever. You don't have
a baby, so it's like, do you ever feel did
you ever feel like, well, why is this affecting us?
Like it's not my baby?

Speaker 2 (23:29):
No, I mean I love her so much already.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
Great that you that you acted, that you were understand
you were understand about the whole thing.

Speaker 3 (23:36):
Well, it took me about two days to adjust to it,
not like in a bad way. It was just more
I don't know how this works yet, so what is
your timing? And like what do you need from me
to make So we had to figure out the communication
to get to a point of Then by the end
it was smooth. We knew the way it was working
and how it was going.

Speaker 1 (23:53):
Because you're not spending a lot of time with her really, like, yeah,
you know, how often do you see her?

Speaker 3 (23:57):
Not very often, like the holidaysing Christmas, and then they'll
come once a year. I'll get to go home sometimes
once a year besides the holidays.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
It's going to be crazy, is you seeing them in person?
Seeing the baby that the person. Next time, you'll be like,
oh my gosh, she's grown so much.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
She already grew from the time that I went to
the hospital and sell her like, she's already communicating a
little face moving and giggling.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
Oh wait till they start talking.

Speaker 2 (24:18):
Baby poop doesn't actually smell bad?

Speaker 1 (24:20):
Uh, I disagree, but yeah, it was.

Speaker 3 (24:23):
There are some but like I really thought it was
going to be horrible, And I have about fifty percent
of my smellback, so I feel like.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
Oh fifty percent, though you don't have the one hundred
so you don't really know.

Speaker 3 (24:33):
But I confirm with my boyfriend and he also said
the same. He's like, I actually didn't and maybe it's
just because she's still on milk.

Speaker 1 (24:38):
I think it depends, like once they start changing their
diet a little bit different there, Yeah, their poop smells.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
Differently, so newborn poop is not bad.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
I guess not because it's all like it's milk, breast milk, right.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
Yeah, so learned that. I thought that was gonna be
much worse changing diapers. I mean still was bad.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
Did you change her?

Speaker 2 (24:53):
No, I got out of all of those.

Speaker 1 (24:54):
Okay, you didn't want to.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
I didn't.

Speaker 3 (24:56):
I would have done it, but the parents were just
always around, so I was like, your responsibility. They love
mirrors and vinyl records.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
Oh because it moves, and they just kind of like, I.

Speaker 2 (25:08):
Was watching things spin.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
So we sat next to a viol she was crying,
and Morgan got really good at stopping her from crying.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
Aunt Morgan, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
And I would get I turn on the vinyl and
we just sit there and watch it spin. So that
was your distraction from crying and mirrors.

Speaker 3 (25:22):
She loved watching herself in the mirror. I have the
cutest video ever of her giggling in the mirror.

Speaker 1 (25:26):
I love that.

Speaker 3 (25:26):
And then also, I can do this a lot, and
literally I would do it and she'd start crying again
when I stopped, so I had to keep doing it.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
Boy, You're like, what did I start? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (25:37):
She was like my sisters like, ant, Morgan, don't stop
at me. That I was like, I can't breathe. So uh.
I was like, Taylor will record a.

Speaker 4 (25:43):
Little uh over and over.

Speaker 3 (25:47):
Yeah, so she loved that. I found a lot of
ways to entertain her. Parents do not get good sleep whatsoever,
Like actually don't get sleep no.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
New born parents, na, man, Like it's terrible.

Speaker 3 (25:57):
It's a trick to make you think that, Like after
they adjust to sleeping in the baby sleeps, you get asleep.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
That's not how it works, and it really doesn't. And
then you think they're going to sleep, and then they don't,
and then you can't sleep with them because you can
roll over them. Yep, So you have to kind of
either put them in another room and then have a
baby monitor, or you put the crib by your bed
and yeah, dude, it's terrible. That's kind of how I
started playing video games really, yeah, because I wouldn't sleep anyway,

(26:23):
so I would just stay up on nine play video games.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
So you would just exhaust yourself in general.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
Yeah, and then I would, you know, if the baby
was crying or whatever, I would get him out of
the crib and hold them while I play video games.
Then he'd fall asleep and then maybe like okay, fall asleep,
I can put him down. Then you put him down.
As soon as they roll over, they start crying again, brutal.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
So how long do you feel like that lasts for
that phase because there's still I mean, eleven weeks is
the baby's been here for a while, but it's still happening.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
It just depends, It depends. Like my first son, he
slept in her bed forever. Like once it was like
safe for him to sleep in our bed, and he
was like, oh enough, he wouldn't go to sleep without
like sleeping with my wife like holding him, and so
he would sleep in our bed. And then finally, like
I think he was probably three years old, four years old,

(27:11):
and we're like I said, like enough's enough, like no
more done, And we put in his crib and like
he was crying, and we went to our room and
I locked the door and he stayed outside our door
all night.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
He got out of it, and.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
Yeah, well he was like already three or four, and
so like he just he fell asleep, eventually cried himself
out and fell asleep, and he like slept right outside
our door. But that was the moment. I'll never forget it.
After that moment, he never slept in our bed again.

Speaker 2 (27:37):
And you that was the moment that you all started
getting sleep again.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
Yeah, because I don't know about you, but like I
can't sleep with like someone all over me in the
middle of the night, like and even like now, like
our our six year old, he'll make his way to
our bed still in the middle of the night and sleep. So, no,
we haven't slept right. He sleeps right in between us.
And he's a violent sleeper. He like swings his arms,

(28:00):
so I'll wake up to a punch in the face
and it's just him like rolling over swinging his arms,
you know, and I'm like, what the was that? Like,
what is happening?

Speaker 2 (28:09):
Has he ever said is he having bad dreams?

Speaker 1 (28:11):
He just twitches all the time. It's just about how
he sleeps.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
That's funny. He does a sleepwalk, though, does he?

Speaker 1 (28:17):
I don't know if he remembers coming to our room.
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
I feel like that's something you're gonna have to start
ligging into. Yeah, if he's a violent mover, he's a
violent sleepwalker.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
Next thing you know, he gets out of the house
kills someone, maybe not.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
That dramatically, not but like punches somebody. Yeah, Yeah, that's crazy.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
It's not like he looks at my face and punches it.
He just kind of rolls over and like snacks yea,
swings his arms around and boom pop round the face.
But no, I mean I but like even my twelve
year old, like he can't he has problems sleeping and
he comes up in the middle of and I was like, guys, guys,
I can't sleep. I'm like, why is that my problem?

Speaker 2 (28:52):
You know, like he's still working on the self soothing stuff.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
I'm kind of go to work in three hours, dude, Like,
what are you doing? You gotta go to school.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
They also don't need as much sleep as we do,
though either, So.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
I don't know they get more sleep than I do.

Speaker 3 (29:05):
They do, but I don't know if you've ever seen
those studies, adults need just as much sleep as kids do.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
It's not more.

Speaker 2 (29:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (29:11):
Well, I mean, like our kids go to bed at
eight thirty nine, nine nine, they start going to best
like bedtime routines eight thirty, go to bed at nine,
and then they wake up like at six thirty.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
Yeah, I mean that's a lot of sleep, But you're
not going to sleep when they go to.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
No, No, I don't know, no chance I don't go
to bed at eight eight thirty. No, it'd be awesome,
though there have been nights where I'm like, I can
go to bed at eight thirty. But I don't know more.
I don't know about you, but like the more sleep
I get, the worse I feel.

Speaker 3 (29:37):
Yeah, I'm the same way if I get too much. Yeah,
there's definitely a fine line. I need a lot, but
if I go right over that edge, I might as
well to stay in bed.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
Yeah. Like if I go to bed at eight thirty
and like wake up at you know, like say Saturday morning,
and wake up at like eight thirty, you know, like
twelve hours, I'm like my whole day shot. I'm like,
my eyes are tired all day.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (29:58):
It's like when you're back in school and you're like talking,
somebody's talking. I found myself a few times that's happened
in the studio. I'm like, I'm not in class.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
You back to work? Yeah, you know what I mean,
when you were nodding off and something was happening.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
There was a kid that always rode the school bus
with us, and he I mean I'm talking every morning.
He would do that. Not every morning is like his
head would go down and they jerk.

Speaker 3 (30:18):
That's the worse too, because you know people are seeing
it and you're embarrassed by it.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
Yes, it was always the worst.

Speaker 3 (30:24):
Okay, what else do I have? We're gonna take a break.
We'll bear back. How about that, it's take a break. Yeah,
over the holidays, you had something to happen with the buffet.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
Is this true?

Speaker 1 (30:35):
No, it's just a question because like there's a buffet.
It's not worth the holidays. It's down it's downstairs.

Speaker 2 (30:40):
Oh okay.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
And so they there's a store downstairs and they have
like food and they have a hot buffet. Like it's
not really what do you call that?

Speaker 2 (30:49):
Yeah, it's a buffet okay.

Speaker 1 (30:51):
So like they have all the hot meals and you
get a plate and you like serve it up and
then you just you pay for it to check out.
There's a dish down there that I love, but it
has like it's like chicken and broccoli, okay, And I
love the chicken, don't like the broccoli. And so the
other day I went down there and I started picking

(31:12):
out the chicken.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
Are they like chicken breasts or it's.

Speaker 1 (31:14):
Like yeah, it's it's like Asian it's like, you know,
Asian chicken, maybe like maybe like a mandarin chicken, Mandarin
chicken with broccoli and a few other things in it,
and like I don't like all the other stuff, So
I just picked the chicken out. And I heard this
guy being like, oh, taking all the chicken, and I
was like, I want to turn around and be like,
so what, like why can I take all the chicken?

(31:35):
But I mean he obviously didn't think I heard him,
but I did hear him. Oh, I don't want to
fight with someone at the store over chicken, but I
wanted to ask you, like, what's the rule with like that?
You know, like like it's it's there. I know understand
that it's a dish. I understand that whatever they have
in one container is the dish, whether it's like you know,

(31:59):
chicken with and carrots and whatever. But if I don't
like all the other vegetables, can I just picked the
chicken out? Like what's the problem.

Speaker 3 (32:06):
I don't think there's anything wrong with it, because there's
a few like stipulations here. If it's one of the
most coveted things and it's always sold out, then yeah,
you're being that.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
It's always sold out. It is, yes, And you know what,
the other day, this.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
Is fun This my answer, it's about to take this.

Speaker 1 (32:22):
Might answer my own question. But the other day I
went down there and it was all gone except broccoli.
So it wasn't just me. Yeah, it's not just me.
There's something that people don't like about the broccoli.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
And maybe, like I was saying, is because that's what
he does too.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
Maybe maybe, probably probably, but but I mean it's funny
because I went down there and it was all broccoli left,
and like.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
See, like I don't think it's bad. You're still eating
the food. You're the one paying for it.

Speaker 3 (32:46):
Correct, you should have what you want to have, but
maybe you should like ride a slip to the place.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
And don't they know, don't they know when they go
pick it up and it's only broccoli left.

Speaker 3 (32:54):
But if it's like the room, maybe they just think
people aren't getting it because like they get like the
chick and whatever's in the scoop is when they take
you're right one right slip to the place.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
And say, hey, I've never done that. By the way,
can we like maybe try one without broccoli?

Speaker 3 (33:09):
Because I feel like there's several of us who would
really love this about one.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
Do vegetables separately and the chicken separately?

Speaker 3 (33:15):
Yeah, give a recommendation two. I don't think there's actually
anything wrong with it. Again, you're paying for it as
a hot buffet. People could ask for them to put
more on because it is a buffet. They could go
and get more. Yeah, but there is a self awareness here.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
What is that Just to go it? Do it when
no one's around.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
That's what it is, when one's looking all of it,
if you're going to do it.

Speaker 1 (33:38):
I didn't take all of it.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
No, I'm just making sure for your future.

Speaker 1 (33:41):
Like, but see, somebody had to take all of it
because at one point, when all I went down and
all that broccoli was left, somebody at one point only
had three pieces of chicken left, and they took the chicken.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
Okay, but this is your stipulation. Don't be that guy.

Speaker 1 (33:53):
But I would be that guy because I don't want
all that broccoli.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
Okay, just take it all and then throw away the bccoli.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
Leader, I'm not going to buy food and throw it away.

Speaker 2 (34:02):
Well, they're still throwing it away anyway, they are.

Speaker 1 (34:04):
It's not my problem. Do you throw food away?

Speaker 3 (34:07):
No, I'm actually very I'm my friend like hates leftovers
after like a couple of days, and I'm like, but
that's food we're gonna waste.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
I don't want to waste it. I'll eat it. Are
you that way?

Speaker 1 (34:18):
Yes? I get so mad when like, and then my kids,
for some reason, they I don't know when they started
doing this, but they like to leave a couple things
left on their plate. They never like to clean the
entire the entire plate, and it makes me so mad.
I'm like, you have one chicken left, eat it like
one little piece.

Speaker 2 (34:38):
Is this where you become the garbage dispital and you
eat everything?

Speaker 1 (34:41):
No? I make them eat it. But sometimes I'm not
there and I just see that. I'll go in the
trash and I'll see like, oh, they freaking did it again?

Speaker 2 (34:48):
Is your wife is not making them?

Speaker 1 (34:49):
No? See, my wife doesn't care about stuff like that.

Speaker 3 (34:51):
Yeah, we also have to be careful because it creates
a food problem ensemble though I know.

Speaker 1 (34:56):
I know, I know it does.

Speaker 2 (34:58):
I know there's that, but also it's like one chick.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
See what I started doing though, was like, all right,
I'm not serving your food. Mom's not serving your food.
You're gonna serve your own food. And whatever you serve yourself,
you're gonna eat.

Speaker 2 (35:09):
Yeah, that's a good idea too, it because then.

Speaker 1 (35:10):
What they start doing now is just put one piece
of chicken on there. I'm like, they're giving this eat
more than that.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
See, this is where our.

Speaker 3 (35:18):
Dad became what we call them mikey and I don't know,
I don't know where that reference comes from, or like
our garbage disposal.

Speaker 2 (35:24):
He always ate whatever he didn't eat. Yeah, we go
out to restaurants and we'd have some luck.

Speaker 1 (35:28):
And he'd finished, probably because they didn't want to waste.

Speaker 3 (35:31):
That's exactly why. But the thing with restaurants, it's different
at home. At home you can control your portions. Restaurants, man,
sometimes those abortions are huge.

Speaker 1 (35:41):
I know, I know, but that's what the doggy bags for,
the to go boxes.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
I bring mind home too, but there's some things you
can't bring them. So there's that. But I'm with you.
I don't like wasting food. I'm very particular about that.

Speaker 1 (35:51):
Mexican restaurants, do you bring the chips home?

Speaker 2 (35:54):
No? Honestly, most of the time I eat them, but
if there's anything left, there's really never got it. They'll
come after me to go and I'll take them. But yeah, no,
there's never anything left that's always getting finished. All right,
Anything else do you want to add before we jump
out of here?

Speaker 1 (36:10):
Morgan?

Speaker 2 (36:11):
Oh, I did get to go vote for the first
time in person?

Speaker 1 (36:13):
You did? How did you vote before mail in?

Speaker 2 (36:17):
So I was at college when one of them happened,
so I had to mail that in, And then.

Speaker 3 (36:22):
I had my Kansas i D here for a long time,
and then I had to get at renewed in Kansas
because I lost my ID in Kansas.

Speaker 2 (36:28):
When I went back home one time, no one got strolen.

Speaker 3 (36:32):
It was not a fun experience, but thankfully I was
like there, so I was like, I'll just get a
new one here. So I always just had a Kansas
I D until this year where I finally have a
Tennessee I D and I got a vote in person.

Speaker 1 (36:41):
You get to vote?

Speaker 2 (36:43):
How was it weird experience? What?

Speaker 1 (36:46):
Well? This is a weird This is a weird election, well.

Speaker 3 (36:48):
Just in general, because I have a feeling this is
also where my election place is going to be. But
it was at an elementary school in the gymnasium, and
it was just like all.

Speaker 1 (36:56):
School in session. Yeah, were running around on like.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
The other side, I guess, but I would think they're everywhere.
I guess they just can't use their gymnasium. But it's
like a super old school and they had this like
old technology. Oh and you get like this huge.

Speaker 3 (37:10):
Sheet of paper and you put it in this giant machine. Yeah,
and I was just sitting there, like, we really haven't
figured out better ways for this.

Speaker 1 (37:19):
I don't think it's that. I think it's more of
that things can get hacked.

Speaker 2 (37:24):
I guess that's true.

Speaker 1 (37:25):
To do it electronically, you know, or like all through internet,
like then people can mess with that. I honestly think
that there is that technology too, and then some precincts
don't have it too. Yeah, because I know that there's
like electronic voting, and I know that there is hand counting,
like where they have to count by hand.

Speaker 3 (37:46):
I guess it's different because it's like by county and
by city and.

Speaker 2 (37:49):
All of them.

Speaker 1 (37:50):
I don't know anything about all that stuff, but I'm
assuming if your place still has it, they just maybe
can't afford the good equipment or a hacking thing. I
don't know.

Speaker 2 (37:58):
Yeah, all the above, Yeah, and it.

Speaker 1 (38:00):
Is it is old school. That old school is crazy huh.

Speaker 3 (38:03):
Oh, it was wild and turned the little knob. I
didn't turn a knob. I hit something on a screen.
But it was like one of the big you know,
like back in the day when you got your first
computer and this giant some of these things looked like
and it was this huge machine and you put this
little like large like.

Speaker 2 (38:17):
What used to be like a scan trunk.

Speaker 1 (38:19):
Yeah, and that's where Italian.

Speaker 2 (38:20):
And it like prints it and then you have to
put it somewhere else.

Speaker 1 (38:23):
I know, it's so old school, but.

Speaker 3 (38:24):
And there was all these elderly people working who I think,
we're retired and that's.

Speaker 2 (38:28):
What they do on their off time. It was just
such a and I had fun doing it.

Speaker 1 (38:32):
It was like, did you go through all the people
that are trying to tell you who to vote for?

Speaker 2 (38:37):
What do you mean?

Speaker 1 (38:37):
You know, like the people that are working.

Speaker 2 (38:38):
Like there's nobody else in the mind.

Speaker 1 (38:40):
No one was standing with signs. Oh there's yeah, they're
probably this is probably like a real small place that
no one goes to.

Speaker 2 (38:48):
I don't, man, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (38:49):
All I know is I was like you, I kept
getting things in nails that you have to I was like,
I didn't even know there.

Speaker 1 (38:53):
Was a voting I know, right, like what, like, what's
what is there to vote on?

Speaker 2 (38:57):
Now it's a representative chair, but it's from our district.

Speaker 1 (39:01):
Did you know anyone on the ballot?

Speaker 2 (39:03):
I knew two of them from what signs each from three? Yeah,
I guess, And I'm like, these commercials are always mean.

Speaker 1 (39:10):
No, but that's why. That's why those commercials are effective,
because like if you don't know anyone, you're like, oh,
I remember that last name, yeah, Huelsman, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I remember that last name. Cool, I vote for heels.

Speaker 3 (39:20):
I will say though, I was smart. I went into
research on all of them. Okay, I like I looked
into them. I wasn't just gonna go blindly I vote
because based on those commercials, none of them are offtion
I know, I'm being honest. And then like they have
a bunch of independence and I was like, I don't
know who any of those people were, so I had
to do read up on everybody. Yeah, but it was
just a cool experience to actually finally get a vote
in person. Yeah, it's not the same when you mail

(39:42):
in votes. No, no person or mail.

Speaker 1 (39:45):
I've always done in person and the experience is cool. Yeah,
I mean you feel like you matter.

Speaker 2 (39:51):
Well, I finally got to have a sticker. I've never
had a sticker, but I voted sticker.

Speaker 1 (39:54):
Yeah, that was so fun. You like that.

Speaker 2 (39:58):
It was just like cool. One that I have never
exercised my right to vote.

Speaker 1 (40:02):
The process is cool.

Speaker 4 (40:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (40:03):
Yeah, And it's gonna be two minutes. I was in
and out.

Speaker 1 (40:05):
I know.

Speaker 2 (40:06):
Crazy.

Speaker 1 (40:07):
It's there's never really a huge weight, like especially when
you go to those small little elementary schools or public libraries.
No one's ever there.

Speaker 2 (40:13):
I know. That's the best sport.

Speaker 1 (40:14):
Yea.

Speaker 3 (40:14):
So there was that, Okay, And last thing I want
to I want to ask you about. So with the
holidays coming up, you and I both.

Speaker 1 (40:20):
Love food, love food.

Speaker 3 (40:22):
What is the one recipe that you associate with Christmas?

Speaker 1 (40:27):
My mom's cookie. It's like she calls them sand tarts,
but I don't know.

Speaker 2 (40:34):
What sand tarts. I love that And.

Speaker 1 (40:36):
It's like, uh, it's like dough with like pecans in them, okay,
And it's powdered sugar on the outside. And she does
it like in balls like moon shaped ones, star shaped ones,
and like I've never seen anyone ever make these before.
She's the only one I've ever seen do do that?
So like automatically, that to me is like Christmas Christmas.

(40:57):
But I've never seen anyone make that.

Speaker 2 (40:59):
Ive never I've heard of almond.

Speaker 3 (41:01):
Actually, I had an almond cookie at our holiday party
this week, and it sounds similar almond cookie because there
was almond on it. It's a soft cookie and it's
in powdered sugar.

Speaker 1 (41:09):
White, powdered sugar.

Speaker 3 (41:10):
Yeah, and it's like a really light kind of almost
looks like a sugar cookie.

Speaker 2 (41:13):
Small, but it's like in a.

Speaker 1 (41:15):
Ball, the same idea.

Speaker 2 (41:17):
It sounds similar but different because different nuts.

Speaker 1 (41:20):
Do you ever watch like cookie Christmas Cookie bake Off
or like those TV shows? No, Like there's a bunch
on Hulu right now.

Speaker 2 (41:28):
Because you're watching.

Speaker 1 (41:29):
I watched a couple and like I saw something like it,
but they didn't call it a sand tart. I forgot
what they call it.

Speaker 2 (41:36):
I don't think your mom came up with that name.

Speaker 1 (41:38):
Maybe because it's just it's like sandy with a powder.

Speaker 2 (41:40):
It's a tart, like a lemon tart.

Speaker 1 (41:42):
But it's not it's not tart at all.

Speaker 2 (41:45):
It's just tastes like do you think it passed down
in your family?

Speaker 1 (41:48):
Yeah? For sure, for sure, And I don't know whose
recipe it is.

Speaker 3 (41:51):
Okay, well this was my idea and I feel like
we you and I just do it too. But I
was like, it would be fine because you see people
doing recipe swaps all the time. It would be fun
either to like swap recipes of our favorite Christmas thing
and have the other person make it, or you just
have to bring in your favorite recipe like maybe fun
and then everybody gets to try it.

Speaker 2 (42:09):
That'd be cool because mine is poppy seed bread.

Speaker 1 (42:11):
Oh, poppy seed bread.

Speaker 2 (42:12):
So my mom has always made this poppy seed bread,
but it's different than typical poppy seed bread. She like
douses it with icing.

Speaker 3 (42:18):
There's there's a glaze that is actually made for it,
but she makes it into an icing. And everybody who
has this poppy seed bread loves it. They've never really
had a poppy sea bread that's like that, And so
that would for sure be mine. That's good and it's
it's a good I I think, I uh, I've brought
it to work I think before one one time because
I made like two big loaves.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
But it wouldn't that be fun?

Speaker 1 (42:40):
It would be awesome, But who would participate in that
you and me, Amy?

Speaker 2 (42:44):
Amy?

Speaker 1 (42:44):
Would I mean, that's about it.

Speaker 2 (42:46):
You think lunchbox would no chance?

Speaker 1 (42:48):
Probably no chance. Ray, maybe Ray's wife Maybe Ray definitely
wouldn't sco Scoopa wouldn't. Abby would Abby would? Okay?

Speaker 3 (42:58):
Well, whoever wants to Okay, I feel like going, And
you know what, we're the only one I get to
eat them? Yeah, because I feel like those are the
things I remind you of Christmas, and then to share them,
then you get to like remember that recipe with other people?

Speaker 1 (43:14):
Did you you said the salt, the sauce I gave
it was too hot, too spicy. Do you want me
to make you a more mild one? Because I was
thinking about because my mom came when my mom was
in town, like she loved it. It was like crack
to her. She just ate so much of it. And
I started thinking, like I should give that to for Christmas,
but like I don't. I feel like the way I

(43:38):
made yours was probably the least amount of heat I
can do. I can probably do half a pepper. Never
done half pepper before, but I can.

Speaker 2 (43:44):
I would love some.

Speaker 1 (43:45):
Do you want some that's less spicy? Yes?

Speaker 2 (43:47):
And I feel like I offended you with yourself some.

Speaker 1 (43:49):
You didn't offend me because I understand heat is a
is a thing for people like you know, like that's
why they sell mild, medium hot, and mother plucking hot.

Speaker 2 (43:59):
That's what from always kids. You get literally big one
that's like so spicy, and he'd be like, not spicy.
He loved your salsa. I loved it, like finished it
in one.

Speaker 1 (44:07):
Setting, and I would say that's medium heat.

Speaker 2 (44:09):
Yeah. He thought it was amazing. He was like, this
is like roasted but smoky.

Speaker 1 (44:13):
And he was like, oh he broke it apart.

Speaker 2 (44:15):
Oh yeah, he eats salta by the spoon. Okay, he
loves that's hardcore, like big fan. Yeah, and I tried.
I was like, oh my eyes are watering. Your watering eddie.
I'm person who used to put sugar in salsa.

Speaker 3 (44:29):
To make it sweet less okay and like less spicy,
less hot.

Speaker 1 (44:32):
You know they do like you can do like a
fruit you can put fruit in sauca.

Speaker 2 (44:36):
Oh yeah, mango salsa.

Speaker 1 (44:37):
Yeah, I love that.

Speaker 3 (44:39):
I've had a few different fruit saalsas, but this, yeah,
yours tasted amazing.

Speaker 2 (44:44):
But I was crying.

Speaker 1 (44:45):
Okay, all right, okay, all right, I'm gonna make you
one less mild then I'm just a baby.

Speaker 2 (44:49):
I've tried really hard to We went to a.

Speaker 3 (44:52):
Chocolate place one time, and there's a funny video that
he took of me because I was literally crying and
I was eating honey barbecue.

Speaker 1 (44:58):
And he was like, this is not sty barbie. You
They was not spicy at all.

Speaker 2 (45:02):
I'm telling you they put something in there that was
not honeybar but you and.

Speaker 1 (45:05):
I could have liked morgan.

Speaker 3 (45:07):
I could have liked it that you know when they
do like the sweet spicy thing, like I'm telling you,
this is one of them. But he couldn't place it
because it tasted perfectly normal to him.

Speaker 1 (45:15):
So he didn't. He felt like it didn't have any spicy.

Speaker 2 (45:17):
No, And I was literally crouded.

Speaker 3 (45:21):
I don't think so, because I've always I mean, I
used to put sugar in my sa so when I
was like five years old.

Speaker 2 (45:25):
Okay, it's spicy, is always.

Speaker 3 (45:27):
But I also ate very bland foods for a significant
portion of my life. Cheesecasadios, cheese pizza. There's not a
lot of spicy in that. So only until like my
later adulthood have I started to even add in spices.

Speaker 1 (45:38):
Yeah, same though, like same, I didn't like spice at
all until I probably, I don't know my twenties.

Speaker 2 (45:46):
Did your parents make spicy food though?

Speaker 1 (45:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (45:48):
Oh yeah, I mean all our food and you would
eat it?

Speaker 1 (45:50):
No, no, they would. I would purposely ask like is
this spicy. They'd be like, no, it's this one's not
and whatever. So like, yeah, I had to ask for
not spicy food, and then now I love spicy food.

Speaker 2 (46:00):
When did it change over for you?

Speaker 1 (46:02):
I would say, like late twenties, okay, yeah, it went
from like dipping a chip, like literally just dipping it,
not scooping, dipping it, getting it wet, and then even
like moving it up and down it gets whatever is
left off, and then I would eat it. That's what
That wouldn't have been hot at all, it was.

Speaker 2 (46:21):
My eyes were crying.

Speaker 1 (46:23):
That's so funny. Yeah, I got you. I got you,
and I made a little more milder. I love that heat,
but maybe no pepper. It's just tomatoes.

Speaker 2 (46:30):
But do you think you can make your mom's Santa charts?

Speaker 1 (46:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (46:33):
Okay, I feel like we should do a little recipue.
Whoever wants to participate. It's to all right, but that'd
be fun.

Speaker 1 (46:38):
We'll talk to Amy about it, Okay. On other box
that's lunch walks. You want to do it, though, there's
no chance.

Speaker 2 (46:43):
I don't think he even cooks normally.

Speaker 1 (46:45):
No, I don't think you think his wife does.

Speaker 2 (46:47):
His wife cooks talking about all the cooking she does,
and I was like, you do a lot of cooking.
She's like, yeah, I do. So it makes me think
he doesn't do a lot.

Speaker 1 (46:56):
Of That makes sense.

Speaker 2 (46:57):
I could be wrong, okay, but all right, Eddie, thanks
for heating.
