Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's time for the good news.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Something good.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
Tell me something good from the weekend, Amy.
Speaker 4 (00:08):
The kids grandparents came in town, and I'm just glad
they have the relationship with them that they do. It's
my ex husband's parents, so my ex in laws, because
both of my parents have passed away, and I'm just
so thankful that they're around and healthy and that they
can have a grandma and a grave hall to be
there and ones that are still able to travel and
(00:30):
can come be at the important things with them. And
they're just here to like kick off summer and their
dad had to go out of town and normally we'd
arrange it to where we'll just work out the schedule
where the kids would come be with.
Speaker 5 (00:41):
Me that week. And they were like, no, no, no, no,
we want to come. We'll be with the kids during
your week.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
And they stopped by yesterday and I was giving them
like a schedule and a printeal and I mean, there's
some busy stuff going on this week with both of
the kids, and they're like, okay, okay, we got this.
Speaker 5 (00:56):
But they're like, okay, I think we can take.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
A nap here.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
I felt for them, but also I just have a
lot of gratitude, and I'm just so happy that they're
here and they're able to do this.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
Sort of thing.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Will you hang out with them?
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Yeah? We went to dinner on Saturday night, and then
I saw they stopped by yesterday, and then I'm sure
i'll see them at some point this week before they go.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
You went to dinner with just them?
Speaker 5 (01:18):
No, with uh?
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Them?
Speaker 5 (01:21):
Been his girlfriend and the kids and me.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Were you right in Soldo?
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Yeah, yeah, so it is you your ex husband his
new girl.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
Well they've been together a year.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
I mean to you, yes, it's not you, so his right.
And then the parents, uh huh.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
And when I got there, Ben and the kids were
arriving separately. And I got there and Ben's dad had
texted me, and I could tell he was texting me
kind of nervous, like hey, we're in the you know,
bottom left side of the restaurant when you go down
the stairs. I'm like okay, And then he's like, has
been and the kids aren't here yet, and I'm like,
(01:59):
I know, okay, cool. And when I get there, I
hug them, and then I to Ben's girlfriend, I say hi,
and then go over and hug her, and then his
dad goes have y'all Have y'all met, And I.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
Was like, yes, of course we met.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
This would be really weird if we hadn't, Like what
a weird way for Venda set that up of like, oh,
let's do a family dinner and also I'm going to
get there late, so y'all have to be there all
awkwardly together.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Did you consider like a hire a hunk or you
bring like a hot dude with you.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
So I have a date? Yeah, No, that would be
confusing to the kids.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Probably that's a good point. Yeah, how to go.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
The vibe was it was good, weird at all, No,
just kind of across from I sat on the same
roses parents and then the kid daughter son. Yeah, kind
of like a horseshoe and so and it was tough. Yeah,
I loved it, Like what And afterwards we went and
got ice cream.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Probably makes the kids feel comfortable too that their mom
and their dad's girlfriend aren't weird.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
And if I had still had a boyfriend and he
would have gone, everybody would have everything would have been fine,
even with Ben's parents there with my boyfriend. If I
still had them, who pays well at dinner? I didn't
know how we were going to do that glad as.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Well.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
I kind of thought I'm the odd one here.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Because you don't but I would think you don't pay.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Right, I kind of thought, well, So then Ben's dad
asked for the bill, and I was like, okay, that
makes sense, clutch easy, nothing's awkward.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
I don't have to. If Ben were to, I woud
feel like I'd be like.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Hey, you can just send me my bill, you know,
because I don't know. So then his dad got it,
and then afterwards we went to get ice cream, and
again at the ice cream shop, I'm sort of the
odd man out and and she walk up to the register.
So then and it was kind of weird, like everybody's
ordering that.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
I was like, what do I do?
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Should I let them all order and then they pay,
and then all place my order and then I pay,
And then I saw Ben. He was with Stevenson, and
I saw him walking up pulling his credit card out
of his wallet, and I don't know, something in me
was like, I went and then I put my credit
card down first for everybody.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
That's good, and.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
Then it was really it was fine.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
And then even his girlfriend came back afterwards, she was like,
did you did you pay for this?
Speaker 5 (04:21):
And I was like yeah, and she was like, thank
you so much and I was like, you're welcome.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Nice.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
So then that's how that That's how that went. Why
is it tough?
Speaker 4 (04:31):
I feel like I will agree it's it's awkward, but
it's only as awkward as you want to make it.
Like I just had to step into the situation and
own it.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Yeah, and it can be awkward, but you don't want
it to seem awkward to the kids or they feel
that awkwardness.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Right.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
I don't think it was awkward awkwardness that they would
pick up on or feel. I think it's just it's
awkward also because it's unfamiliar. We haven't done this situation
a lot, but I imagine over the years, if it continues,
it'd be more normal and then nothing's awkward.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Yeah, it's not about you. It's just generally a socially
awkward situation at this stage.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
Yes, yeah, I agree, good for you facing new things.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
But overall, the big tell me something good for me
is just that the gratitude I have for that his
parents are alive and well that's good and both healthy
and they take care of themselves and they you know,
there's a little you have to yell when you talk.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
But you act like they're mister McGoo, okay, get runs
into stuff.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
Well in their seventies, like it's it's no, they're not.
They're very no. They're driving all around town the trust me.
I saw their schedule today, like they've got some places
to go.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Stevenson's very active this week for some track stuff.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
He has cross.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Most still run after stage, he's still running.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
So his cross country team for high school has started
meeting this week, and then he's doing a club program
this summer for track.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Good for him, no break, yeah, no break.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
And then he's got some summer school stuff that he's doing.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
And then there's a lot of running because even at
the University of Arkansas, like we traditionally have the best
track program in college, right we went all the national championships.
But yeah, there's indoor, there's outdoor. There's just so many
versions of running that I don't even keep up with it.
And so like he finishes that, I mean, that's not indoor,
that's outdoor, but that's not cross country. He was running
(06:21):
on a track right.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Well, this week he's mixed.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Like his cross country is what's meeting now, so he'll
be doing long distance in the morning with them, and
then his club thing is at night and they're on
a track, so he'll be doing good for him two
a days.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
I guess the fact that he enjoys running is crazy.
Like I watched Mike d run this weekend, not with
my own eyes. He posts his Instagram story of him
and do you do twenty miles?
Speaker 6 (06:47):
Twenty one?
Speaker 7 (06:48):
Fine?
Speaker 8 (06:49):
Dang dude, it's one and he likes it for fun.
He likes it if you're easy.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Clears my head feels good. There is nothing I like
less like. I mean, I got a IV this weekend
like that, that's nice? About equal to running? No, like
the needle going in not even IV like that. That's crazy.
Uh So, in my quest to fully repair my ankle,
which I think I'm prett getting pretty close, I'm just
(07:16):
slowly turning up the one mile at a time running.
Speaking of running reminds me I'm aout like seven thirty
a mile now. So when I'm running, which is I'm
not gonna.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
Go, it's not bad.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Okay, that's a better tone.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
Who is my tone? Well, you're acting like no, I
was saying, that's not bad. Like, that's actually really good.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Okay, see now we're changing. Now we like how we're changing.
That's super Yes, the best I've ever heard.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
I thought that was the vibe I was giving first.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
That's the first first of us, like you were like
just going, yeah, it's not bad. You'll get their kid.
So and my ankle's not that sore after I finish
running it at that pace, so I'll probably speed it up,
probably get to like like a six forty five and
then I'm I'm mouth, I'm done. I'm done with this
little experiment. But macha's probably eighty five to ninety percent good.
So that's it. And then we didn't win, but we
(08:06):
played in the College World Series, the Women's College World Series. Man,
we played a game at almost midnight and yeah, I'm
on the team against Nebraska and it was an awesome game,
went to extra endings, ended up losing at the very
very end, but man, what a game. Lost second game.
I knew there was no way they were going to
win the second game. They played till midnight, had to
get up and play the.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Next day UCLA. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Yeah, So it was super cool because Arkansas has never
been to the Women's College World series in Oklahoma City.
So just shout out to them that it was really cool.
I was able to after that night one game go, man,
what a game. Sucks we lost, but what a game.
So that's why I tell me something goods Eddie.
Speaker 8 (08:42):
So we're talking about how pools are open out because
it's officially summer. Well, the YMCA has a pool and
they have a rule that if you're under the age
of like I don't know, it's like twelve or something
or eleven, you have to take a swim test to
get a wristband. That way your parents don't have to
supervise you while you're swimming. So my little one seven
year old is like, he's a good swimmer. I mean
(09:02):
I was a lifeguard, so obviously I taught him how
to swim. But he is nervous every single time.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Every year.
Speaker 8 (09:08):
It's like a he took the test one time and
he failed it. He's like, and I don't he doesn't
want to do it again. Well, we took him to the
pool on Saturday and he was like, Dad, I'm going
to try it. It's a new year. And he swam
it and he passed the test. And now so for
the rest of the year or the rest of the summer.
He can swim without anyone watching him. It's a huge success. Hey,
not bad, that's fine. Bad, that's not that's cool. What's
(09:32):
the test for a seven year old? It's the whole
length of the pool without any kind of aid, and
he can't doggy paddle, so it's kind of.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Got to be a real You can't doggy paddle.
Speaker 8 (09:41):
Once you kind of do a doggy paddle that makes
it look like you're kind of grasping for air, and
then they'll just pull that little floaty out and then
you fail the test.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
How did you work with him to teach him how
to swim?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Oh, three years ago?
Speaker 8 (09:52):
Like I taught him how to swim in that pool. Yes,
some at that pool, some at other pools. Yeah, But
I mean I just kind of, like, you know, just
showed him. He's always been comfortable about water around water,
so I just kind of showed him like the techniques
of swimming, Like you can do it. You can hold
your breath for a very long time and by the
time you pull your head up you're always already halfway
(10:12):
through the lap or whatever. But I think for him
it was just kind of like the stress of the
lifeguard looking at him the whole time, and the fact
that he couldn't doggy paddle.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
You'd just stress out and fail.
Speaker 8 (10:23):
That's cool, and I'll confess this, but like the past years,
I've taken old wristbands because I know he can swim.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Yeah, probably shouldn't say that.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Yeah, well, so he's been swimming with that.
Speaker 9 (10:36):
Something goes wrong, dude, and the stress of like, oh
my gosh, the tape's gonna like get wet and it's
gonna come off, and the lifeguard is gonna find a
floating wristband that it's obviously cut and like glued together.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
That's how I feel when I sit at a seat
at a concert that no one's sitting in or I'm
just like, oh god, I can't really enjoy this because
even though I cheated, I don't do that anymore. Right,
That's that feeling, Morgan.
Speaker 7 (10:59):
So this weekend we celebrated my fiance's stroke aversary and
we went to Popstroke.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
Stroke.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Yeah, a stroke when he was thirteen.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
We didn't know that in the world.
Speaker 7 (11:09):
Yeah, so every year we kind of celebrate that and
just you know, it's like a I'm so happy you're
still alive and you're doing great.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
And stroke that's the mini golf.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
Yeah, Tiger Woods.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Oh stroke like golf?
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Yeah? Is that place fun? It was so much fun.
Are there so many people there? Though?
Speaker 7 (11:27):
There was a lot of people there, but you can
spread out quite a bit. There's a course, there's an
eighteen whole course outside. There's two eighteen whole courses inside,
and then there's a bunch of games where you could
sit at the restaurant. There's like an ice cream parlor
in there. It's a whole cool place.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Can you play in order?
Speaker 6 (11:42):
Yeah, you can play.
Speaker 7 (11:43):
In your order of your things. Like it started raining
when we were outside. We did nine holes and it
started raining, so we went inside and we did another course,
and then we went back outside and finished the rest
of our other course outside.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
So it's like people jumping in and playing holes.
Speaker 7 (11:56):
No, I mean you can as long as like you're
not interrupting somebody else's there's a little bit weight. We
were waiting on some families ahead of us, But it
just depends.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
When you go. Is that the Tiger Woods place?
Speaker 10 (12:06):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (12:06):
And you know it's really cool. They have a leaderboard,
so like you put your scores on your app, and
if you can, like when your first place and you
see in the whole plays that you're first, it's pretty awesome.
And if you get a hole in one, you make
the JumboTron. Your shot makes the deumbotron.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
How do people not cheat just to get their name
on the screen.
Speaker 11 (12:24):
They could because there's no tracking, Like the golf ball
doesn't have like a censor, so you could just write
to to every hole.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
And you'd be on the leaderboard.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
That's how you want to be.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
I feel like that's how most people want to be.
Pretty cool, yeah, lunchbox.
Speaker 6 (12:38):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 11 (12:39):
Saturday night, the San Antonio Spurs went to Oklahoma City
for Game seven of the Western Conference Finals.
Speaker 6 (12:44):
And they beat the defending champs. They won. They're headed
the NBA Finals. That was amazing.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
That was awesome.
Speaker 6 (12:50):
It was great. So that made my whole weekend.
Speaker 11 (12:52):
It's just very exciting and it's really cool to have
the Spurs be back.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Was that worth not being at the Chase? Rice?
Speaker 6 (12:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 11 (12:59):
Oh yeah, yeah for sure, Like I mean the Chase, right, Yeah,
I've given up on that. I've moved on. I'm more
concentrated on the Spurs. And just that night and it
was a good game. It was exciting and so it
wasn't like a blowout so that it was intense the
whole game.
Speaker 6 (13:13):
And ah, yeah, a lot of fun.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
RAYMONDO. Do you have anything?
Speaker 12 (13:20):
Yeah, my niece, it's always exciting when they still want
to hang out with you. She's sixteen and she chilled
us the whole weekend and she wanted to. She actually asked,
can I come hang out with you? So I was
actually cool. We got to see what she's interested in,
played games, went to the mall. Uh. She loves to bake,
which isn't a good thing. I mean, we got cookies.
We got cookies and brownies, we got homemade ice cream.
(13:40):
We got homemade ice cream with cookies in it. Other
than that though, just actually chilling my knees for the
whole week and was awesome. I know, Scoop Steve had
a pretty good week. He's been on vacation, an awesome week, man. Yeah,
tired you tired from vacation because nah, all, yes you are.
Speaker 10 (13:58):
No, No, I'm not. I'm tired.
Speaker 13 (13:59):
I'm more when I work a festival because I'm up
like twenty hours like our art festival, country festival, this
one was full of like just so much fun and
so much love, and I was with my family.
Speaker 10 (14:10):
I don't get to see much, so it was really cool.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
So it does it exhaust you because you went to Orlando?
Speaker 10 (14:13):
Orlando, yeah, and did Disney for two days.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
That's not I just heard it's exhausting, Because why I
assume you come back exhausted?
Speaker 13 (14:18):
Yeah, I do we do it right. We don't do
it exhausting. We do it to where it's relaxing and
fun and we enjoy it.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
So how do you do it right? Then?
Speaker 13 (14:24):
So the there's a lot of different factors into it,
but the biggest factor is we split the day into two.
So we go there in the morning at like eight,
and we leave around two or three to go back
to the hotel, shower, eat like fresh fruit, and you know,
just relax and watch some TV and change our clothes
and then go back again around six and then stay
there till the evening.
Speaker 10 (14:43):
So we split the day where most.
Speaker 13 (14:44):
People will be there from sun up to sundown and
the kids are crying, everyone's screaming, everyone's sweaty and hot
and having terrible time and they're freaking out and they're
eating crappy food.
Speaker 10 (14:52):
We split it.
Speaker 13 (14:53):
So that's the biggest factor for us to have a
enjoyable time at Disney.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Do you guys nap?
Speaker 13 (14:58):
Oh yeah, well nap like the kids will be asleep
either on their way out of the park going back
to the hotel, or nap at the hotel. I'll take
a power nap. So for me, it's it's an enjoyable experience.
Any meltdowns, we had a meltdown on like the first
day at the park on Tuesday week. Well, actually the
biggest meltdown with my daughter because she was so pissed
because she was one inch short and couldn't ride this
(15:19):
ride called Tron and and she's only five, and she's
riding like Space Mountain and always like thrill rides, and
my oldest son isn't really into that. And so we're
about to go ride on Tron and she got to
measure up and she was so excited for it all
day long, and you have to be I think forty
two inches and she's we get up there and it's
like one inch short, and she starts crying and she's
freaking out, and I was like, well, I'm gonna ride
(15:40):
it with your with your knees and she's like, well.
Speaker 10 (15:42):
If I can't ride it, nobody can ride it. Kills
And I was like, I'm sorry, be boob, I'm going
on this ride. I don't care what you say.
Speaker 13 (15:52):
And so she's crying and freaking out, and I was like, oh, yell,
your name really allowed to me?
Speaker 10 (15:55):
Stand right here? You can see me as I go bye.
Speaker 7 (15:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Did you ride it?
Speaker 6 (15:58):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (15:59):
Yeah, I wrote it. Yeah, it was it fun. Yeah,
it was awesome. It was so much fun.
Speaker 8 (16:02):
Do that ride is cool? It's like a motorcycle. Yeah,
it's really the only one I've ever ridden that's like
a motorcycle and it straps you on, but you're on
it like like a motorcycle, and.
Speaker 13 (16:09):
It shoots you off from like zero to sixty or
whatever it is when you first launch off. The only
thing I would say is the track's a little too short.
It could be longer, but in general, just it's it's
so much fun.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
How much time do you think you wait in line
versus riding rides?
Speaker 6 (16:21):
So we do.
Speaker 13 (16:22):
We do the fast pass thing, which at one point
in time it used to be free, but now they
charge you, which I get it.
Speaker 10 (16:27):
It makes sense.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
It was free.
Speaker 10 (16:29):
Oh yeah, fast pass. Oh yeah, fast passed.
Speaker 13 (16:31):
Back in the day, it was like a whole like
exploration of you would get your fast pass and once
you got that fast pass, you have this hour window
to ride the ride, and then once you ride it,
then you now can go find your next ride. So
I was always deemed as the guy that would go
get the next fast pass because they were paper tickets.
You'd have to go to the actual ride to get
the fast pass. But now it's all in the app.
(16:52):
And so now at Disney you can go through and
select your times and it'select windows, but they charge you
for it because the convenience and everything. So for us,
I mean the longest thing we waited for was maybe
ten fifteen minutes.
Speaker 10 (17:02):
Because of that, it's pretty good.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
So why would people ever wait in line if the
fast pass was free? I thought that was something you
paid for. Well, so no, so back when it was free,
most people won.
Speaker 13 (17:12):
If you're a tourist, you may not be you know,
may not understand or know, and so they just didn't know.
They waited in line and they find out later like
I could have gotten a ticket, they get to me
in a shorter line. And then when you do it,
it's also limited. So let's say you pick a ride
like Tron that's so popular and they'll they'll go out quick.
So they distribute fast passes and some of those could
be gone in the first hour of the park being opened,
(17:34):
so you may not get a fast pass.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
So there are only so many trilling fast passes for
the day.
Speaker 13 (17:39):
Yes, yeah, even with the paid ones now and now
that's paid, they only have a certain amount. So they
have one hour windows throughout the day starting at eight
or nine am whenever they open until eleven when they close,
and so what was like ten eleven windows and they
only have certain amount of people in those windows, and
once it sells out, it's gone. So like something like Tron,
you could check in at eight am and by eight
(17:59):
thirty the whold day is sold out. M and some
rides that that aren't as popular that they have fast
passed all day long, like Pirates of Caribbean.
Speaker 10 (18:07):
You can pick a fast pass whenever you want.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
What did I get because I was working for Disney,
meaning you got a vip okay, so that's not fast passing.
Speaker 10 (18:15):
No, that's front of the line. Hey sir, what they
take you back?
Speaker 5 (18:17):
Escort?
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (18:18):
Yeah, yeah, escort you have the guy with a hat
like somebody with.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
A hat as a woman sexist.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Yeah, well.
Speaker 10 (18:25):
Yeah those are legit.
Speaker 13 (18:26):
Like when I was at Universal, we had VIP and
they just cut us around all the way to the
front of the line and we could ride as many
time as we wanted.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
And you would think I'd feel guilty from that. I
did not know. But that's not a fast pass.
Speaker 10 (18:38):
Now that's a VIP pass.
Speaker 13 (18:39):
That one you could still do as like a like
a gem pop, but it costs like thousands of dollars
to do that.
Speaker 10 (18:45):
But you got hooked up because you're you.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
No, not because I'm me. Because I was working for ABC,
which is owned by Disney, which is you, and I
was in California for extra day because we had a
rarely was there a day we would shoot idol, have
a day off, and shoot Idol again. But it was
one of those days and some of so you know,
you can go to it Disney and your day off,
And I was like, they're like, and you can go
and you can do everything. What do you mean, like
(19:09):
you just cut every line. Okay, that's the way to
do it. Then we're looking forward to going to Disney.
But if I get to cut every line. Yeah, all right,
so you're Disney's magic kind of guy.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 10 (19:22):
I love Disney.
Speaker 13 (19:22):
I grew up in Orlando and then when I lived
in LA we had annual passes, So I love I
love theme parks in general. But my two favorites Disney
at Universal. What's the best ride at Disney you rode
this week? That I rode this week? Guardians of the
Galaxy is one of my favorites that that's an Epcot
Now that one is another one of those shootout ones,
but this one is such a mind bending one because
it does all the things that all in one thing.
(19:44):
So not only does it do the where it goes
forward and stops and goes backwards, but it's also one
where your cart shifts and so you're riding sideways at
some points. It also has launch points and like the
graphics within it and all the esthetics of the ride beautiful.
Speaker 10 (19:59):
I love that one.
Speaker 13 (20:00):
But then I also like the old school rides like
Journey to Space, which is inside the Epcot ball, because
it's just so old and.
Speaker 10 (20:05):
Cheesy and it just is.
Speaker 13 (20:07):
That's a slow one, right, It's very slow, but it
talks about the history of of planet Earth and how
we started as you know, like you know, Caveman and
all the way to now And that was a fun
one as well.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
I have a friend that has a house at Disney.
Speaker 10 (20:19):
Yeah, they have like a.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Neighborhood there, Golden Oak. Yeah, not familiar with it, but
it was like, hey, come over to the house. So
went over to the house. And then like a few
houses down, one of the owners of the Pittsburgh Steelers
has a house and he was having a party and
we went into his house and he had the ride
of the elevator mansion ride in the house.
Speaker 10 (20:38):
The elevator.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
They built the ride in the house.
Speaker 10 (20:42):
Yeah, is this room actually.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Almost like a three story house. They you go and
they and then every room was built like Disney like
one of the themes of the Star Wars room. There
was a making I don't know, and.
Speaker 8 (20:57):
Every every room was connected in a way. There's like
a secret door where you can go from one room
to another.
Speaker 10 (21:03):
It was wild, that's legit.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Not only that they had two houses beside each other,
and this was the house that was all Disney with
the ride and they and they I say lived in
they didn't even live there full time because that's just
like what they want one o their and they had
the house right next to it for their normal living.
Speaker 13 (21:17):
That's and the HOA fees at that neighborhood, Golden Oak,
by the way, it's owned by four seasons. Their HOA
fees include like the top of the line annual pass
and at the clubhouse they have a private chef and everything.
Speaker 10 (21:27):
That neighborhood is so legit.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Yeah, I would imagine HOA fees and not even a
factor in considering if you're gonna move there, if you
can afford to live.
Speaker 10 (21:34):
Yeah, totally. Yeah, but it includes a lot of cool
things though.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Well, I'm glad to hear that forty grand a year
HOA fees damn.
Speaker 8 (21:41):
Okay, yeah wow, but you get a pass from that apparently,
get best passed.
Speaker 10 (21:47):
You get everything there.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Uh, you're not exhausted, No, not at all.
Speaker 13 (21:51):
I could do it again. I could have stayed longer.
Actually wasn't long enough, you.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Know what, Go back, all right, we've been working hard.
Speaker 10 (21:58):
Go back. I'm still working. Was doing emails and things
in the morning. It was nice.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
I did get his ooh on vacation.
Speaker 10 (22:05):
It was out of office, all right.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
I never messaged you, no.
Speaker 10 (22:10):
He didn't you left me alone?
Speaker 13 (22:11):
I messaged you a couple of times, and these guys
about some sales stuff and some little things in programming.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
I feel like that is precious time. I don't bother
you at all. But for me, it's also kind of like,
I don't.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
I don't.
Speaker 10 (22:21):
I don't want to say enjoy it.
Speaker 13 (22:22):
But I don't mind doing an hour each morning or
in the evening because then it makes my time coming
back Monday much less stressful because I don't have a
thousand emails I have to go through and figure.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Out, well, you didn't get crap from me, buddy, No.
Speaker 10 (22:32):
And I appreciate that. That was really kind of you.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
All Right, there you go. That's what it's all about.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
It's time for the good news.
Speaker 10 (22:42):
How much box.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Man.
Speaker 11 (22:47):
There's a senior living place in Boise, Idaho, and they've
been just you know, sitting by a gorgeous river, but
they could never enjoy it. They couldn't, you know, go outside. Well,
the director said, you know what, let's get some bikes
and bring the joy back. And now they're riding bikes
along the river.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
I like it seems dangerous. It seems dangerous. I like it.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
There might have been a reason they haven't done that yet.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
I like it in moderation.
Speaker 11 (23:16):
Guys, they're not actually on the trail. They really just
ride around the facility. They made a track inside so
they can see the river.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Okay, okay, all right.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
And not only that, I'm looking at pictures. So explain
the bikes.
Speaker 11 (23:26):
I mean, I think they're just a little like stationary
bike right now.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
So what happens is one of the younger members of
the team that works there pedals the bike and they're
mostly put in these little chairs.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Oh that's cue.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
They get pushed on the bike.
Speaker 8 (23:41):
Okay, that's cute. They're not they're going on bike rides.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
I'm up for it. I like this better because originally
I was like, you know, how many hips are gonna
get broken, They're going to fall in the river. Yeah,
I think about Yeah, I'm looking at it. I like
it now more.
Speaker 11 (23:56):
Okay, I thought they were getting to ride the bikes,
but they are just a passenger.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
That's You don't put ninety year olds on huffies.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
I do like the story. What's it from?
Speaker 11 (24:06):
It is from the Table Rock Senior Living in Boise, Idaho.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
No, the sort of article, so we don't get sued.
Speaker 11 (24:12):
Oh, KTVB my favorite news source.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Ye, so I'm watching the video now of it.
Speaker 9 (24:18):
All.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Right, there you go, that's what it's all about.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
It's time for the good news.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
Amy people dot com had the sweetest article about how
Seattle Children's Hospital hosted their first ever prom for their patients. There.
Kids range between fifteen and nineteen years old and obviously
all of their peers are having prom and graduations and
(24:43):
all kinds of things. Well, they brought in donated formal wear,
professional hair and makeup, food, drinks, a DJ photo booth,
a light up dance floor, and therapy animals including a
mini horse, so this prom was legit. They deliver invitations
to each the patients to attend prom through their uh
(25:04):
therapy dogs that work at the hospital, Scarlet and Nash,
which I think is a cute way to invite the
kids to prom. And they said the event was such
a success that they plan on hosting the prom annually.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
I love that for those kids who probably thought I
just don't get to do that, I know, like, that's it.
I don't get to do that.
Speaker 8 (25:22):
And with a horse, it sounds better than the original prom.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
I'm let you know, they've all had a unicorn thing
on the horse's head. It's awesome. Yeah, there you go,
There you go. That's what it's all about.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
That was tell me something good.
It's time for the good news.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Something good.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
Tell me something good from the weekend, Amy.
Speaker 4 (00:08):
The kids grandparents came in town, and I'm just glad
they have the relationship with them that they do. It's
my ex husband's parents, so my ex in laws, because
both of my parents have passed away, and I'm just
so thankful that they're around and healthy and that they
can have a grandma and a grave hall to be
there and ones that are still able to travel and
(00:30):
can come be at the important things with them. And
they're just here to like kick off summer and their
dad had to go out of town and normally we'd
arrange it to where we'll just work out the schedule
where the kids would come be with.
Speaker 5 (00:41):
Me that week. And they were like, no, no, no, no,
we want to come. We'll be with the kids during
your week.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
And they stopped by yesterday and I was giving them
like a schedule and a printeal and I mean, there's
some busy stuff going on this week with both of
the kids, and they're like, okay, okay, we got this.
Speaker 5 (00:56):
But they're like, okay, I think we can take.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
A nap here.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
I felt for them, but also I just have a
lot of gratitude, and I'm just so happy that they're
here and they're able to do this.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
Sort of thing.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Will you hang out with them?
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Yeah? We went to dinner on Saturday night, and then
I saw they stopped by yesterday, and then I'm sure
i'll see them at some point this week before they go.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
You went to dinner with just them?
Speaker 5 (01:18):
No, with uh?
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Them?
Speaker 5 (01:21):
Been his girlfriend and the kids and me.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Were you right in Soldo?
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Yeah, yeah, so it is you your ex husband his
new girl.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
Well they've been together a year.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
I mean to you, yes, it's not you, so his right.
And then the parents, uh huh.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
And when I got there, Ben and the kids were
arriving separately. And I got there and Ben's dad had
texted me, and I could tell he was texting me
kind of nervous, like hey, we're in the you know,
bottom left side of the restaurant when you go down
the stairs. I'm like okay, And then he's like, has
been and the kids aren't here yet, and I'm like,
(01:59):
I know, okay, cool. And when I get there, I
hug them, and then I to Ben's girlfriend, I say hi,
and then go over and hug her, and then his
dad goes have y'all Have y'all met, And I.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
Was like, yes, of course we met.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
This would be really weird if we hadn't, Like what
a weird way for Venda set that up of like, oh,
let's do a family dinner and also I'm going to
get there late, so y'all have to be there all
awkwardly together.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Did you consider like a hire a hunk or you
bring like a hot dude with you.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
So I have a date? Yeah, No, that would be
confusing to the kids.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Probably that's a good point. Yeah, how to go.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
The vibe was it was good, weird at all, No,
just kind of across from I sat on the same
roses parents and then the kid daughter son. Yeah, kind
of like a horseshoe and so and it was tough. Yeah,
I loved it, Like what And afterwards we went and
got ice cream.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Probably makes the kids feel comfortable too that their mom
and their dad's girlfriend aren't weird.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
And if I had still had a boyfriend and he
would have gone, everybody would have everything would have been fine,
even with Ben's parents there with my boyfriend. If I
still had them, who pays well at dinner? I didn't
know how we were going to do that glad as.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Well.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
I kind of thought I'm the odd one here.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Because you don't but I would think you don't pay.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Right, I kind of thought, well, So then Ben's dad
asked for the bill, and I was like, okay, that
makes sense, clutch easy, nothing's awkward.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
I don't have to. If Ben were to, I woud
feel like I'd be like.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Hey, you can just send me my bill, you know,
because I don't know. So then his dad got it,
and then afterwards we went to get ice cream, and
again at the ice cream shop, I'm sort of the
odd man out and and she walk up to the register.
So then and it was kind of weird, like everybody's
ordering that.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
I was like, what do I do?
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Should I let them all order and then they pay,
and then all place my order and then I pay,
And then I saw Ben. He was with Stevenson, and
I saw him walking up pulling his credit card out
of his wallet, and I don't know, something in me
was like, I went and then I put my credit
card down first for everybody.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
That's good, and.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
Then it was really it was fine.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
And then even his girlfriend came back afterwards, she was like,
did you did you pay for this?
Speaker 5 (04:21):
And I was like yeah, and she was like, thank
you so much and I was like, you're welcome.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Nice.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
So then that's how that That's how that went. Why
is it tough?
Speaker 4 (04:31):
I feel like I will agree it's it's awkward, but
it's only as awkward as you want to make it.
Like I just had to step into the situation and
own it.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Yeah, and it can be awkward, but you don't want
it to seem awkward to the kids or they feel
that awkwardness.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Right.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
I don't think it was awkward awkwardness that they would
pick up on or feel. I think it's just it's
awkward also because it's unfamiliar. We haven't done this situation
a lot, but I imagine over the years, if it continues,
it'd be more normal and then nothing's awkward.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Yeah, it's not about you. It's just generally a socially
awkward situation at this stage.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
Yes, yeah, I agree, good for you facing new things.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
But overall, the big tell me something good for me
is just that the gratitude I have for that his
parents are alive and well that's good and both healthy
and they take care of themselves and they you know,
there's a little you have to yell when you talk.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
But you act like they're mister McGoo, okay, get runs
into stuff.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
Well in their seventies, like it's it's no, they're not.
They're very no. They're driving all around town the trust me.
I saw their schedule today, like they've got some places
to go.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Stevenson's very active this week for some track stuff.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
He has cross.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Most still run after stage, he's still running.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
So his cross country team for high school has started
meeting this week, and then he's doing a club program
this summer for track.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Good for him, no break, yeah, no break.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
And then he's got some summer school stuff that he's doing.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
And then there's a lot of running because even at
the University of Arkansas, like we traditionally have the best
track program in college, right we went all the national championships.
But yeah, there's indoor, there's outdoor. There's just so many
versions of running that I don't even keep up with it.
And so like he finishes that, I mean, that's not indoor,
that's outdoor, but that's not cross country. He was running
(06:21):
on a track right.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Well, this week he's mixed.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Like his cross country is what's meeting now, so he'll
be doing long distance in the morning with them, and
then his club thing is at night and they're on
a track, so he'll be doing good for him two
a days.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
I guess the fact that he enjoys running is crazy.
Like I watched Mike d run this weekend, not with
my own eyes. He posts his Instagram story of him
and do you do twenty miles?
Speaker 6 (06:47):
Twenty one?
Speaker 7 (06:48):
Fine?
Speaker 8 (06:49):
Dang dude, it's one and he likes it for fun.
He likes it if you're easy.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Clears my head feels good. There is nothing I like
less like. I mean, I got a IV this weekend
like that, that's nice? About equal to running? No, like
the needle going in not even IV like that. That's crazy.
Uh So, in my quest to fully repair my ankle,
which I think I'm prett getting pretty close, I'm just
(07:16):
slowly turning up the one mile at a time running.
Speaking of running reminds me I'm aout like seven thirty
a mile now. So when I'm running, which is I'm
not gonna.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
Go, it's not bad.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Okay, that's a better tone.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
Who is my tone? Well, you're acting like no, I
was saying, that's not bad. Like, that's actually really good.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Okay, see now we're changing. Now we like how we're changing.
That's super Yes, the best I've ever heard.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
I thought that was the vibe I was giving first.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
That's the first first of us, like you were like
just going, yeah, it's not bad. You'll get their kid.
So and my ankle's not that sore after I finish
running it at that pace, so I'll probably speed it up,
probably get to like like a six forty five and
then I'm I'm mouth, I'm done. I'm done with this
little experiment. But macha's probably eighty five to ninety percent good.
So that's it. And then we didn't win, but we
(08:06):
played in the College World Series, the Women's College World Series. Man,
we played a game at almost midnight and yeah, I'm
on the team against Nebraska and it was an awesome game,
went to extra endings, ended up losing at the very
very end, but man, what a game. Lost second game.
I knew there was no way they were going to
win the second game. They played till midnight, had to
get up and play the.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Next day UCLA. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Yeah, So it was super cool because Arkansas has never
been to the Women's College World series in Oklahoma City.
So just shout out to them that it was really cool.
I was able to after that night one game go, man,
what a game. Sucks we lost, but what a game.
So that's why I tell me something goods Eddie.
Speaker 8 (08:42):
So we're talking about how pools are open out because
it's officially summer. Well, the YMCA has a pool and
they have a rule that if you're under the age
of like I don't know, it's like twelve or something
or eleven, you have to take a swim test to
get a wristband. That way your parents don't have to
supervise you while you're swimming. So my little one seven
year old is like, he's a good swimmer. I mean
(09:02):
I was a lifeguard, so obviously I taught him how
to swim. But he is nervous every single time.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Every year.
Speaker 8 (09:08):
It's like a he took the test one time and
he failed it. He's like, and I don't he doesn't
want to do it again. Well, we took him to the
pool on Saturday and he was like, Dad, I'm going
to try it. It's a new year. And he swam
it and he passed the test. And now so for
the rest of the year or the rest of the summer.
He can swim without anyone watching him. It's a huge success. Hey,
not bad, that's fine. Bad, that's not that's cool. What's
(09:32):
the test for a seven year old? It's the whole
length of the pool without any kind of aid, and
he can't doggy paddle, so it's kind of.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Got to be a real You can't doggy paddle.
Speaker 8 (09:41):
Once you kind of do a doggy paddle that makes
it look like you're kind of grasping for air, and
then they'll just pull that little floaty out and then
you fail the test.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
How did you work with him to teach him how
to swim?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Oh, three years ago?
Speaker 8 (09:52):
Like I taught him how to swim in that pool. Yes,
some at that pool, some at other pools. Yeah, But
I mean I just kind of, like, you know, just
showed him. He's always been comfortable about water around water,
so I just kind of showed him like the techniques
of swimming, Like you can do it. You can hold
your breath for a very long time and by the
time you pull your head up you're always already halfway
(10:12):
through the lap or whatever. But I think for him
it was just kind of like the stress of the
lifeguard looking at him the whole time, and the fact
that he couldn't doggy paddle.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
You'd just stress out and fail.
Speaker 8 (10:23):
That's cool, and I'll confess this, but like the past years,
I've taken old wristbands because I know he can swim.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Yeah, probably shouldn't say that.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Yeah, well, so he's been swimming with that.
Speaker 9 (10:36):
Something goes wrong, dude, and the stress of like, oh
my gosh, the tape's gonna like get wet and it's
gonna come off, and the lifeguard is gonna find a
floating wristband that it's obviously cut and like glued together.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
That's how I feel when I sit at a seat
at a concert that no one's sitting in or I'm
just like, oh god, I can't really enjoy this because
even though I cheated, I don't do that anymore. Right,
That's that feeling, Morgan.
Speaker 7 (10:59):
So this weekend we celebrated my fiance's stroke aversary and
we went to Popstroke.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
Stroke.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Yeah, a stroke when he was thirteen.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
We didn't know that in the world.
Speaker 7 (11:09):
Yeah, so every year we kind of celebrate that and
just you know, it's like a I'm so happy you're
still alive and you're doing great.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
And stroke that's the mini golf.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
Yeah, Tiger Woods.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Oh stroke like golf?
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Yeah? Is that place fun? It was so much fun.
Are there so many people there? Though?
Speaker 7 (11:27):
There was a lot of people there, but you can
spread out quite a bit. There's a course, there's an
eighteen whole course outside. There's two eighteen whole courses inside,
and then there's a bunch of games where you could
sit at the restaurant. There's like an ice cream parlor
in there. It's a whole cool place.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Can you play in order?
Speaker 6 (11:42):
Yeah, you can play.
Speaker 7 (11:43):
In your order of your things. Like it started raining
when we were outside. We did nine holes and it
started raining, so we went inside and we did another course,
and then we went back outside and finished the rest
of our other course outside.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
So it's like people jumping in and playing holes.
Speaker 7 (11:56):
No, I mean you can as long as like you're
not interrupting somebody else's there's a little bit weight. We
were waiting on some families ahead of us, But it
just depends.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
When you go. Is that the Tiger Woods place?
Speaker 10 (12:06):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (12:06):
And you know it's really cool. They have a leaderboard,
so like you put your scores on your app, and
if you can, like when your first place and you
see in the whole plays that you're first, it's pretty awesome.
And if you get a hole in one, you make
the JumboTron. Your shot makes the deumbotron.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
How do people not cheat just to get their name
on the screen.
Speaker 11 (12:24):
They could because there's no tracking, Like the golf ball
doesn't have like a censor, so you could just write
to to every hole.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
And you'd be on the leaderboard.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
That's how you want to be.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
I feel like that's how most people want to be.
Pretty cool, yeah, lunchbox.
Speaker 6 (12:38):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 11 (12:39):
Saturday night, the San Antonio Spurs went to Oklahoma City
for Game seven of the Western Conference Finals.
Speaker 6 (12:44):
And they beat the defending champs. They won. They're headed
the NBA Finals. That was amazing.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
That was awesome.
Speaker 6 (12:50):
It was great. So that made my whole weekend.
Speaker 11 (12:52):
It's just very exciting and it's really cool to have
the Spurs be back.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Was that worth not being at the Chase? Rice?
Speaker 6 (12:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 11 (12:59):
Oh yeah, yeah for sure, Like I mean the Chase, right, Yeah,
I've given up on that. I've moved on. I'm more
concentrated on the Spurs. And just that night and it
was a good game. It was exciting and so it
wasn't like a blowout so that it was intense the
whole game.
Speaker 6 (13:13):
And ah, yeah, a lot of fun.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
RAYMONDO. Do you have anything?
Speaker 12 (13:20):
Yeah, my niece, it's always exciting when they still want
to hang out with you. She's sixteen and she chilled
us the whole weekend and she wanted to. She actually asked,
can I come hang out with you? So I was
actually cool. We got to see what she's interested in,
played games, went to the mall. Uh. She loves to bake,
which isn't a good thing. I mean, we got cookies.
We got cookies and brownies, we got homemade ice cream.
(13:40):
We got homemade ice cream with cookies in it. Other
than that though, just actually chilling my knees for the
whole week and was awesome. I know, Scoop Steve had
a pretty good week. He's been on vacation, an awesome week, man. Yeah,
tired you tired from vacation because nah, all, yes you are.
Speaker 10 (13:58):
No, No, I'm not. I'm tired.
Speaker 13 (13:59):
I'm more when I work a festival because I'm up
like twenty hours like our art festival, country festival, this
one was full of like just so much fun and
so much love, and I was with my family.
Speaker 10 (14:10):
I don't get to see much, so it was really cool.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
So it does it exhaust you because you went to Orlando?
Speaker 10 (14:13):
Orlando, yeah, and did Disney for two days.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
That's not I just heard it's exhausting, Because why I
assume you come back exhausted?
Speaker 13 (14:18):
Yeah, I do we do it right. We don't do
it exhausting. We do it to where it's relaxing and
fun and we enjoy it.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
So how do you do it right? Then?
Speaker 13 (14:24):
So the there's a lot of different factors into it,
but the biggest factor is we split the day into two.
So we go there in the morning at like eight,
and we leave around two or three to go back
to the hotel, shower, eat like fresh fruit, and you know,
just relax and watch some TV and change our clothes
and then go back again around six and then stay
there till the evening.
Speaker 10 (14:43):
So we split the day where most.
Speaker 13 (14:44):
People will be there from sun up to sundown and
the kids are crying, everyone's screaming, everyone's sweaty and hot
and having terrible time and they're freaking out and they're
eating crappy food.
Speaker 10 (14:52):
We split it.
Speaker 13 (14:53):
So that's the biggest factor for us to have a
enjoyable time at Disney.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Do you guys nap?
Speaker 13 (14:58):
Oh yeah, well nap like the kids will be asleep
either on their way out of the park going back
to the hotel, or nap at the hotel. I'll take
a power nap. So for me, it's it's an enjoyable experience.
Any meltdowns, we had a meltdown on like the first
day at the park on Tuesday week. Well, actually the
biggest meltdown with my daughter because she was so pissed
because she was one inch short and couldn't ride this
(15:19):
ride called Tron and and she's only five, and she's
riding like Space Mountain and always like thrill rides, and
my oldest son isn't really into that. And so we're
about to go ride on Tron and she got to
measure up and she was so excited for it all
day long, and you have to be I think forty
two inches and she's we get up there and it's
like one inch short, and she starts crying and she's
freaking out, and I was like, well, I'm gonna ride
(15:40):
it with your with your knees and she's like, well.
Speaker 10 (15:42):
If I can't ride it, nobody can ride it. Kills
And I was like, I'm sorry, be boob, I'm going
on this ride. I don't care what you say.
Speaker 13 (15:52):
And so she's crying and freaking out, and I was like, oh, yell,
your name really allowed to me?
Speaker 10 (15:55):
Stand right here? You can see me as I go bye.
Speaker 7 (15:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Did you ride it?
Speaker 6 (15:58):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (15:59):
Yeah, I wrote it. Yeah, it was it fun. Yeah,
it was awesome. It was so much fun.
Speaker 8 (16:02):
Do that ride is cool? It's like a motorcycle. Yeah,
it's really the only one I've ever ridden that's like
a motorcycle and it straps you on, but you're on
it like like a motorcycle, and.
Speaker 13 (16:09):
It shoots you off from like zero to sixty or
whatever it is when you first launch off. The only
thing I would say is the track's a little too short.
It could be longer, but in general, just it's it's
so much fun.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
How much time do you think you wait in line
versus riding rides?
Speaker 6 (16:21):
So we do.
Speaker 13 (16:22):
We do the fast pass thing, which at one point
in time it used to be free, but now they
charge you, which I get it.
Speaker 10 (16:27):
It makes sense.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
It was free.
Speaker 10 (16:29):
Oh yeah, fast pass. Oh yeah, fast passed.
Speaker 13 (16:31):
Back in the day, it was like a whole like
exploration of you would get your fast pass and once
you got that fast pass, you have this hour window
to ride the ride, and then once you ride it,
then you now can go find your next ride. So
I was always deemed as the guy that would go
get the next fast pass because they were paper tickets.
You'd have to go to the actual ride to get
the fast pass. But now it's all in the app.
(16:52):
And so now at Disney you can go through and
select your times and it'select windows, but they charge you
for it because the convenience and everything. So for us,
I mean the longest thing we waited for was maybe
ten fifteen minutes.
Speaker 10 (17:02):
Because of that, it's pretty good.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
So why would people ever wait in line if the
fast pass was free? I thought that was something you
paid for. Well, so no, so back when it was free,
most people won.
Speaker 13 (17:12):
If you're a tourist, you may not be you know,
may not understand or know, and so they just didn't know.
They waited in line and they find out later like
I could have gotten a ticket, they get to me
in a shorter line. And then when you do it,
it's also limited. So let's say you pick a ride
like Tron that's so popular and they'll they'll go out quick.
So they distribute fast passes and some of those could
be gone in the first hour of the park being opened,
(17:34):
so you may not get a fast pass.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
So there are only so many trilling fast passes for
the day.
Speaker 13 (17:39):
Yes, yeah, even with the paid ones now and now
that's paid, they only have a certain amount. So they
have one hour windows throughout the day starting at eight
or nine am whenever they open until eleven when they close,
and so what was like ten eleven windows and they
only have certain amount of people in those windows, and
once it sells out, it's gone. So like something like Tron,
you could check in at eight am and by eight
(17:59):
thirty the whold day is sold out. M and some
rides that that aren't as popular that they have fast
passed all day long, like Pirates of Caribbean.
Speaker 10 (18:07):
You can pick a fast pass whenever you want.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
What did I get because I was working for Disney,
meaning you got a vip okay, so that's not fast passing.
Speaker 10 (18:15):
No, that's front of the line. Hey sir, what they
take you back?
Speaker 5 (18:17):
Escort?
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (18:18):
Yeah, yeah, escort you have the guy with a hat
like somebody with.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
A hat as a woman sexist.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Yeah, well.
Speaker 10 (18:25):
Yeah those are legit.
Speaker 13 (18:26):
Like when I was at Universal, we had VIP and
they just cut us around all the way to the
front of the line and we could ride as many
time as we wanted.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
And you would think I'd feel guilty from that. I
did not know. But that's not a fast pass.
Speaker 10 (18:38):
Now that's a VIP pass.
Speaker 13 (18:39):
That one you could still do as like a like
a gem pop, but it costs like thousands of dollars
to do that.
Speaker 10 (18:45):
But you got hooked up because you're you.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
No, not because I'm me. Because I was working for ABC,
which is owned by Disney, which is you, and I
was in California for extra day because we had a
rarely was there a day we would shoot idol, have
a day off, and shoot Idol again. But it was
one of those days and some of so you know,
you can go to it Disney and your day off,
And I was like, they're like, and you can go
and you can do everything. What do you mean, like
(19:09):
you just cut every line. Okay, that's the way to
do it. Then we're looking forward to going to Disney.
But if I get to cut every line. Yeah, all right,
so you're Disney's magic kind of guy.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 10 (19:22):
I love Disney.
Speaker 13 (19:22):
I grew up in Orlando and then when I lived
in LA we had annual passes, So I love I
love theme parks in general. But my two favorites Disney
at Universal. What's the best ride at Disney you rode
this week? That I rode this week? Guardians of the
Galaxy is one of my favorites that that's an Epcot
Now that one is another one of those shootout ones,
but this one is such a mind bending one because
it does all the things that all in one thing.
(19:44):
So not only does it do the where it goes
forward and stops and goes backwards, but it's also one
where your cart shifts and so you're riding sideways at
some points. It also has launch points and like the
graphics within it and all the esthetics of the ride beautiful.
Speaker 10 (19:59):
I love that one.
Speaker 13 (20:00):
But then I also like the old school rides like
Journey to Space, which is inside the Epcot ball, because
it's just so old and.
Speaker 10 (20:05):
Cheesy and it just is.
Speaker 13 (20:07):
That's a slow one, right, It's very slow, but it
talks about the history of of planet Earth and how
we started as you know, like you know, Caveman and
all the way to now And that was a fun
one as well.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
I have a friend that has a house at Disney.
Speaker 10 (20:19):
Yeah, they have like a.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Neighborhood there, Golden Oak. Yeah, not familiar with it, but
it was like, hey, come over to the house. So
went over to the house. And then like a few
houses down, one of the owners of the Pittsburgh Steelers
has a house and he was having a party and
we went into his house and he had the ride
of the elevator mansion ride in the house.
Speaker 10 (20:38):
The elevator.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
They built the ride in the house.
Speaker 10 (20:42):
Yeah, is this room actually.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Almost like a three story house. They you go and
they and then every room was built like Disney like
one of the themes of the Star Wars room. There
was a making I don't know, and.
Speaker 8 (20:57):
Every every room was connected in a way. There's like
a secret door where you can go from one room
to another.
Speaker 10 (21:03):
It was wild, that's legit.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Not only that they had two houses beside each other,
and this was the house that was all Disney with
the ride and they and they I say lived in
they didn't even live there full time because that's just
like what they want one o their and they had
the house right next to it for their normal living.
Speaker 13 (21:17):
That's and the HOA fees at that neighborhood, Golden Oak,
by the way, it's owned by four seasons. Their HOA
fees include like the top of the line annual pass
and at the clubhouse they have a private chef and everything.
Speaker 10 (21:27):
That neighborhood is so legit.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Yeah, I would imagine HOA fees and not even a
factor in considering if you're gonna move there, if you
can afford to live.
Speaker 10 (21:34):
Yeah, totally. Yeah, but it includes a lot of cool
things though.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Well, I'm glad to hear that forty grand a year
HOA fees damn.
Speaker 8 (21:41):
Okay, yeah wow, but you get a pass from that apparently,
get best passed.
Speaker 10 (21:47):
You get everything there.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Uh, you're not exhausted, No, not at all.
Speaker 13 (21:51):
I could do it again. I could have stayed longer.
Actually wasn't long enough, you.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Know what, Go back, all right, we've been working hard.
Speaker 10 (21:58):
Go back. I'm still working. Was doing emails and things
in the morning. It was nice.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
I did get his ooh on vacation.
Speaker 10 (22:05):
It was out of office, all right.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
I never messaged you, no.
Speaker 10 (22:10):
He didn't you left me alone?
Speaker 13 (22:11):
I messaged you a couple of times, and these guys
about some sales stuff and some little things in programming.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
I feel like that is precious time. I don't bother
you at all. But for me, it's also kind of like,
I don't.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
I don't.
Speaker 10 (22:21):
I don't want to say enjoy it.
Speaker 13 (22:22):
But I don't mind doing an hour each morning or
in the evening because then it makes my time coming
back Monday much less stressful because I don't have a
thousand emails I have to go through and figure.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Out, well, you didn't get crap from me, buddy, No.
Speaker 10 (22:32):
And I appreciate that. That was really kind of you.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
All Right, there you go. That's what it's all about.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
It's time for the good news.
Speaker 10 (22:42):
How much box.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Man.
Speaker 11 (22:47):
There's a senior living place in Boise, Idaho, and they've
been just you know, sitting by a gorgeous river, but
they could never enjoy it. They couldn't, you know, go outside. Well,
the director said, you know what, let's get some bikes
and bring the joy back. And now they're riding bikes
along the river.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
I like it seems dangerous. It seems dangerous. I like it.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
There might have been a reason they haven't done that yet.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
I like it in moderation.
Speaker 11 (23:16):
Guys, they're not actually on the trail. They really just
ride around the facility. They made a track inside so
they can see the river.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Okay, okay, all right.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
And not only that, I'm looking at pictures. So explain
the bikes.
Speaker 11 (23:26):
I mean, I think they're just a little like stationary
bike right now.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
So what happens is one of the younger members of
the team that works there pedals the bike and they're
mostly put in these little chairs.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Oh that's cue.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
They get pushed on the bike.
Speaker 8 (23:41):
Okay, that's cute. They're not they're going on bike rides.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
I'm up for it. I like this better because originally
I was like, you know, how many hips are gonna
get broken, They're going to fall in the river. Yeah,
I think about Yeah, I'm looking at it. I like
it now more.
Speaker 11 (23:56):
Okay, I thought they were getting to ride the bikes,
but they are just a passenger.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
That's You don't put ninety year olds on huffies.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
I do like the story. What's it from?
Speaker 11 (24:06):
It is from the Table Rock Senior Living in Boise, Idaho.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
No, the sort of article, so we don't get sued.
Speaker 11 (24:12):
Oh, KTVB my favorite news source.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Ye, so I'm watching the video now of it.
Speaker 9 (24:18):
All.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Right, there you go, that's what it's all about.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
It's time for the good news.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
Amy people dot com had the sweetest article about how
Seattle Children's Hospital hosted their first ever prom for their patients. There.
Kids range between fifteen and nineteen years old and obviously
all of their peers are having prom and graduations and
(24:43):
all kinds of things. Well, they brought in donated formal wear,
professional hair and makeup, food, drinks, a DJ photo booth,
a light up dance floor, and therapy animals including a
mini horse, so this prom was legit. They deliver invitations
to each the patients to attend prom through their uh
(25:04):
therapy dogs that work at the hospital, Scarlet and Nash,
which I think is a cute way to invite the
kids to prom. And they said the event was such
a success that they plan on hosting the prom annually.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
I love that for those kids who probably thought I
just don't get to do that, I know, like, that's it.
I don't get to do that.
Speaker 8 (25:22):
And with a horse, it sounds better than the original prom.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
I'm let you know, they've all had a unicorn thing
on the horse's head. It's awesome. Yeah, there you go,
There you go. That's what it's all about.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
That was tell me something good.
