Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's time for the good news with Bobby.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Nobody wants to be at the emergency vet, especially on Christmas.
It's stressful, but it's also very expensive. The emergency vet
haven't been a bunch of times, is very expensive. One
anonymous man knew this because he had done it and
had to go and had to pay the big bill
for it. And so on Christmas morning, he walked in.
He didn't have a pet with an issue. He told
the staff he was going to stick around for a few hours,
(00:27):
and he had a stack of plain white envelopes and
every envelope was money, and he would pass it out
to the people there because he knew one they didn't
plan to be there, so they probably didn't plan to
spend that money. And it's a Christmas and so he
just handed out people with their pets in the emergency
pet place money.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
That is so cool.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
That's someone who's been through it.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Yeah, who knows, because you wouldn't know do that unless
you've been through it like that, the hospital staff said.
The lobby turned into a scene of pure emotion. There
were tears, hugs. Some people were so moved they tried
to hand the money to the person sitting next to
them to keep the chain in a kindness going it's
not Starbucks, just take the money. By the time the
man had left, he covered the bills for ten different families.
(01:08):
That's stories from MSN. We had to go with Stanley
my bulldog once because he got a chew toy stuck
in his digestive system. I heard him open his mouth
once and it went coming out of his mouth whoa,
And so I had to load him up and I
was at the vet overnight for like seven or eight hours,
(01:29):
and then they said we can't get to them right now.
We'll keep them because they had to go and surgically
remove the chew toy from his intestines and turns out
he ended up passing it.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Oh god, that's good way he was alive. He just
ended up. It went through the old system.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
And they had to take images of it every hour
to make sure that it wasn't like stopping it where
he would die. But the emergency, it's terrible. You didn't
plan to go there, you didn't plan to spend that money,
and it costs a ton.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
And so there's that.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
I'd mentioned that Stalley my bulldog, he has this thing
where he sees poop and he runs and dives into it,
and we hate it.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
We've tried to get him to stop.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
So I got a shot callar and now I'm not
I'm not shot collar guy, but I'm also not. You
shouldn't do that. And there's a we don't use the shock.
We use the it's just like vibration. It scares the
crap out of him. He doesn't do it anymore. He
runs at it the first few and I vibrate.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
It's like whoa, and he just stops.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Wow. It has helped dramatically, so for anybody out there
going through it with their dog, we don't shock. And
then listen, you shock, you got a relationship with your dog.
It's like spanking.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I got spanked, but I don't think because I got it,
it's right. I don't really have a relationship with it
yet because we don't have a kid yet. It is
a fine line. I think it's a fine line here,
So I'm not gonna judge you if you have it.
We don't shock.
Speaker 6 (02:59):
Yeah, no, I will say just here. I got one
of those for my dog and it was a game changer.
And now we don't. I don't even have to vibrate
it or do the noise. There's also a noise too.
I don't even have to do that. I just show
the remote and she is like, okay, all good.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Here, I'm gonna sit down.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
You know, I have a water gun, but like, we
also do that. Just sees the gun.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
She's like, okay, yeah we did that, not for this.
We had water. We would spray like out of a
b but then everything was wet. Yeah, everything was wet
all the time. So we just kind of got annoyed
with everything being wet.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Yeah, that didn't work.
Speaker 6 (03:32):
But the remote legit wait till Stanley really like what
was Yeah, you just go like you and now I
don't even need the exact remote. I just need anything
that looks like the remote. And she lays down.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
I guess that's like a parent holding up a belt.
It didn't matter which belt anyway. Good story about that guy,
that's what it's all about.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
That was telling me something good. It's time for the
good news.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
Well, this is school.
Speaker 6 (04:02):
Glinda Aiken is eighty four years old and she was
just recognized by Guinness World Record for having the longest
career as a female teacher at the same school.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
And it's at a Tennessee high school.
Speaker 6 (04:14):
She has been there sixty one years as a classroom
teacher and a librarian.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
If she was how old is she? She's eighty four, Okay,
so I just say you're eight.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
You can't be eighteen to be a teacher. So you
can say you're twenty two. You go to college, your teacher.
And how long has she been there?
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Sixty one years?
Speaker 5 (04:31):
That's got it. So she pretty much, Oh you tell me, no.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
One, no, I was just kind of guessing the age
and when she started that's crazy.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
And the school honored her lasting impact, and she describes
her school community as part of her extended family. And
I mean, yeah, long enough.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
We had a teacher named mister Tollison at Mountain Pine
who was there Arkansas. Keith HadAM as a teacher.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Oh and then you had him.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
Yeah, that's crazy. He was there fifty years probably.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
And he was really old by the time that I
had him, but he was still pretty good teacher. But
once I saw him in a Walmart in Galveston, Texas,
that's random, most random moment.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
In my life, vacationing at the beach.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
I don't know, I didn't tell I was just like
he looked at me.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
I random.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
I was a kid, but again, I'm from Mountain Pine, Arkansas,
Central Arkansas.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
The one time i'd been to Galveston, Galveston, Texas. I'm
in a Walmart and I see my geography teacher, mister Tallison.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Name.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
Something more random has ever happened to you? Exactly?
Speaker 3 (05:33):
I can't think of it.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
There's nothing moment, but yeah, that's free.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
I should be in Guinness for the most random moment
ever running into your geography teacher at Walmart and Galveston.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
I mean it's already shocking enough when you see him outside.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
Of school anywhere in normal clothes.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Yeah, but then in another state. Crazy?
Speaker 2 (05:47):
What about because what we did not have were teachers
on social media because we didn't have social media when
we were young, like seventh grade.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
What about kids now?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
They get to see their teachers probably in a different
light than we ever got to because they have the
ability to follow or see them on social media.
Speaker 6 (06:01):
Uh yeah, I think that often because sometimes teacher accounts
will pop up.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
I don't I don't follow him.
Speaker 6 (06:06):
If there's this one guy, his video went viral because
Chloe Kardashian commented on it and he's yeah, he's like
an attractive, good looking teacher, but he's like makes these
videos in his classroom where there's like, you know, single,
I can cook like and then Chloe, you know klok
Kardashian like made some comment and it went totally viral
and I'm like wait, So I start watching all of
(06:27):
his videos and I was like, Wow, his students really
see a different side of him, and yeah, human or
like the teacher that's going so viral right now for
cheese and her sweet potatoes.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
That I told you all about this one?
Speaker 6 (06:40):
You haven't I told you about it in December. I
was like, wow, I feel like I was ahead of
it because now I just keep seeing it everywhere. Maybe
it's just my algorithm, but like People Magazine covered it.
She films these videos of herself eating during her break
so like breakfast before school, then lunch break, and then
after school snack. But she talks to the camera and
she eats like so weird. She's kind of like silly.
(07:02):
But I'm like, are her students like watching her videos?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
And also you have to think teachers can be anywhere
from the young end twenty three to even forty eight
and do social media fifty two and do something like
want to have a social media presence.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Yeah, and even clear, like she seems really sweet and cool.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
But it's just like if that was my teacher, Like,
would it be weird that I'm like watching her eat?
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Probably way more normal than we think because it's all
they've been exposed to. I mean kids, they're teachers have
had social media. Are their rules where teachers have to
be private?
Speaker 3 (07:33):
No, I mean some of our kids teachers, they're not private.
My wife follows them and it's kind.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
Of cool to see she follows them, but they're not private.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
They're not private.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Well, I don't know, it's easy because you can follow
somebody I they're private, they can.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Yeah, yeah, I'm not really sure about that. But it
is cool to see what they're like outside of the classroom, like,
oh cool, that's a she's a Cowboys fan. Awesome, you know,
like they do they have a personality outside of their classroom.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
They shouldn't.
Speaker 6 (07:59):
I know.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
It's like, I don't we need our teacher to be robots.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Back in the good old days, our teachers of our
robots and if they did anything they did in the
smoking room, Yeah, they were in there. Secretly smoking it up.
All right, that's a good story. That is what it's
all about.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
That was telling me something good. Show.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
All right, here's a voice melod that should make somebody
on the show feel good.
Speaker 7 (08:20):
I think Eddie's falsa bit is funny every time. I
think it's a better bit that he keeps says it
and can't stop, or supposedly can't stop then just saying
it once and it being funny called before I'm gonna
call it again when we ask my boy Eddie your heart.
Speaker 6 (08:36):
Oh that's my dude, I think it's your oldest sonmiliar
because it's not a bit like that's how I say salsa.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
I've never said salsa or however you say just salsa. Salsa.
Never said that in my life.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
There was an extra effect on it, as all we
were saying while we were singing the song.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Oh the Twelve Days of Christmas.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Yeah, I also think there's something to his point out
if you keep doing it, it stays funny if you
just beat it to death. But there it's like getting
a haircut, you know, and then growing your hair out.
There's an awkward stage always from when it's normal and
then when it gets good. Again, and you're in that
awkward stage where it's not funny to us right now.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
You don't think it's funny that I say it'sidside one time?
So should I listen to my boy and just keep
saying it?
Speaker 5 (09:20):
Your boy sounds fifteen.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
I mean, if it's how you say it, then that's
what you have to stick with.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
That's what I'm saying. This is how I say it.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
Guys, Yeah, be yourself. Hey, play this other one about Eddie.
Speaker 8 (09:31):
Eddie is what we would refer to as a snowplow parent,
where you go in front of your kids and just
move all the problems out of the way for them
so they never have to experience any struggles. All right,
have a great day.
Speaker 6 (09:43):
Fight.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
So there's a helicopter parent that hovers but it's always
hovering watching, but from a bit of a distance, there's
a velcrow parent which is right by the side attack
sticks to them. And then there's a snowplow parent.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Wow, So you just take all the problems away that
way they just have a normal No, that's not a
normal life.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Well, what do you mean if you remove all the
problems and a kid or a human never face it
faces adversity. When they finally do face it, they'll struggle extra.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Yeah, they're not going to know what to do.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Oh, but I mean you want to have a good life, right,
That's why you let them go through hard things early
so when they hit hard things later, hard things don't
completely reshape their path.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
Dang.
Speaker 7 (10:20):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Sometimes the hardest thing to do as a parent is
to do nothing.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
Dang, I can do that easily.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
No, that'sn't work. That doesn't seem like what you do.
I think you're a good parent, but I think you're
way in the mix.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
I wonder what made the what he shared that made
the caller do that, because I don't remember.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
I think years and years of just being on.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
The stories piled up data, a lot of data. Data.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
They compiled five years of data. Okay, thank you for
the voicemails. You can always call us and leave a
voicemail if you want. If you have to tell me
something good on a voicemail, let us know. We'd love
to hear those as well. Eight seven, seven seventy seven Bobby,
seven seventy seven Bobby. Harvard research reveals the couples who
(11:06):
spend money on services that save them time and effort
enjoy their relationships more. Those would be like house cleaning
or even ordering takeout, because what that does is it
saves one or both of them from having to cook
and do the dishes. I feel like do the dishes
isn't counted in there as much your thoughts.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
Yeah, I mean, I think if that's part of your
budget and you can swing that, that's yeah, that could
be great.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
According to a six week study, busy dual income couples
who may time saving purchases on a given day reported
being happier and more satisfied with their relationships. Even if
you can't afford to outsource bigger household chores. This behavioral
scientist says that even a little bit helps free up
time to connect.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
So they're saying, even if you can't afford it.
Speaker 6 (11:49):
Do it.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
What I feel like they're saying is if you can
find a way to afford it, gotcha, it's probably it
should probably.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
Be made a priority if it can be. If you're
having trouble.
Speaker 6 (12:00):
Connecting, Yeah, like maybe when you are budgeting, like, yes,
like you just said, make it a priority.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Put it at the top of the list so that
y'all can have more time to connect.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
I like it. Let me ask you a personal question. Yeah,
how many dinners a week do you eat with your boyfriend?
Speaker 4 (12:14):
It depends on the week, Uh, like on average one too?
You mean, like with the whole.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Family, if you're having dinner or supper, depending on where
you are. Yeah, how many of those a week do
you have with your boyfriend?
Speaker 6 (12:30):
I'll say one to two times a week. We try
to either he'll come over with all of his kids
or all go over with mine. It's rarely, or if
I am kidless that week because they're with their dad,
I'll pop over for dinner. Which is great because he
is he works full time and then he's got his
kids and so he does have someone.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Like that helps him with the kids and cooking. So
I go over there and I feel like I can.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
Yeah, it has every kinds of people running around.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
It's not like it's like I show up and like
dinner is made and I sit down and I eat
and then I'm like, okay, cool. So I should make
it over there a little bit more.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Yeah, I would.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
It's nice. Oh I do now, but yeah, that's probably Yeah?
Is that should I try to make it more?
Speaker 2 (13:18):
No?
Speaker 5 (13:18):
I just wondered I didn't know what you guys day
to day routine was like, yeah.
Speaker 6 (13:22):
No, it's hard sometimes and they have a lot of
sports and there's basketball games, so then they eat a
lot later. That's what it is, Bobby honestly is sometimes
he's like, Okay, we're probably gonna eat dinnerun seven seven
thirty and I'm like, ooh, you know.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
What, great point, that's a little late. We a lot
of times don't join friends or invites. If they say, hey,
let's go to dinner and we're like, great, what time?
Speaker 5 (13:41):
Seven? Oh oh, got something just came up? You know
what came up? We eat at five exactly.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
I'm like, could we do four thirty
It's time for the good news with Bobby.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Nobody wants to be at the emergency vet, especially on Christmas.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
The one time i'd been to Galveston, Galveston, Texas. I'm
in a Walmart and I see my geography teacher, mister Tallison.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Name.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
Something more random has ever happened to you? Exactly?
Speaker 3 (05:33):
I can't think of it.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
There's nothing moment, but yeah, that's free.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
I should be in Guinness for the most random moment
ever running into your geography teacher at Walmart and Galveston.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
I mean it's already shocking enough when you see him outside.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
Of school anywhere in normal clothes.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Yeah, but then in another state. Crazy?
Speaker 2 (05:47):
What about because what we did not have were teachers
on social media because we didn't have social media when
we were young, like seventh grade.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
What about kids now?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
They get to see their teachers probably in a different
light than we ever got to because they have the
ability to follow or see them on social media.
Speaker 6 (06:01):
Uh yeah, I think that often because sometimes teacher accounts
will pop up.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
I don't I don't follow him.
Speaker 6 (06:06):
If there's this one guy, his video went viral because
Chloe Kardashian commented on it and he's yeah, he's like
an attractive, good looking teacher, but he's like makes these
videos in his classroom where there's like, you know, single,
I can cook like and then Chloe, you know klok
Kardashian like made some comment and it went totally viral
and I'm like wait, So I start watching all of
(06:27):
his videos and I was like, Wow, his students really
see a different side of him, and yeah, human or
like the teacher that's going so viral right now for
cheese and her sweet potatoes.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
That I told you all about this one?
Speaker 6 (06:40):
You haven't I told you about it in December. I
was like, wow, I feel like I was ahead of
it because now I just keep seeing it everywhere. Maybe
it's just my algorithm, but like People Magazine covered it.
She films these videos of herself eating during her break
so like breakfast before school, then lunch break, and then
after school snack. But she talks to the camera and
she eats like so weird. She's kind of like silly.
(07:02):
But I'm like, are her students like watching her videos?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
And also you have to think teachers can be anywhere
from the young end twenty three to even forty eight
and do social media fifty two and do something like
want to have a social media presence.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Yeah, and even clear, like she seems really sweet and cool.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
But it's just like if that was my teacher, Like,
would it be weird that I'm like watching her eat?
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Probably way more normal than we think because it's all
they've been exposed to. I mean kids, they're teachers have
had social media. Are their rules where teachers have to
be private?
Speaker 3 (07:33):
No, I mean some of our kids teachers, they're not private.
My wife follows them and it's kind.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
Of cool to see she follows them, but they're not private.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
They're not private.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Well, I don't know, it's easy because you can follow
somebody I they're private, they can.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Yeah, yeah, I'm not really sure about that. But it
is cool to see what they're like outside of the classroom, like,
oh cool, that's a she's a Cowboys fan. Awesome, you know,
like they do they have a personality outside of their classroom.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
They shouldn't.
Speaker 6 (07:59):
I know.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
It's like, I don't we need our teacher to be robots.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Back in the good old days, our teachers of our
robots and if they did anything they did in the
smoking room, Yeah, they were in there. Secretly smoking it up.
All right, that's a good story. That is what it's
all about.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
That was telling me something good. Show.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
All right, here's a voice melod that should make somebody
on the show feel good.
Speaker 7 (08:20):
I think Eddie's falsa bit is funny every time. I
think it's a better bit that he keeps says it
and can't stop, or supposedly can't stop then just saying
it once and it being funny called before I'm gonna
call it again when we ask my boy Eddie your heart.
Speaker 6 (08:36):
Oh that's my dude, I think it's your oldest sonmiliar
because it's not a bit like that's how I say salsa.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
I've never said salsa or however you say just salsa. Salsa.
Never said that in my life.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
There was an extra effect on it, as all we
were saying while we were singing the song.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Oh the Twelve Days of Christmas.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Yeah, I also think there's something to his point out
if you keep doing it, it stays funny if you
just beat it to death. But there it's like getting
a haircut, you know, and then growing your hair out.
There's an awkward stage always from when it's normal and
then when it gets good. Again, and you're in that
awkward stage where it's not funny to us right now.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
You don't think it's funny that I say it'sidside one time?
So should I listen to my boy and just keep
saying it?
Speaker 5 (09:20):
Your boy sounds fifteen.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
I mean, if it's how you say it, then that's
what you have to stick with.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
That's what I'm saying. This is how I say it.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
Guys, Yeah, be yourself. Hey, play this other one about Eddie.
Speaker 8 (09:31):
Eddie is what we would refer to as a snowplow parent,
where you go in front of your kids and just
move all the problems out of the way for them
so they never have to experience any struggles. All right,
have a great day.
Speaker 6 (09:43):
Fight.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
So there's a helicopter parent that hovers but it's always
hovering watching, but from a bit of a distance, there's
a velcrow parent which is right by the side attack
sticks to them. And then there's a snowplow parent.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Wow, So you just take all the problems away that
way they just have a normal No, that's not a
normal life.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Well, what do you mean if you remove all the
problems and a kid or a human never face it
faces adversity. When they finally do face it, they'll struggle extra.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Yeah, they're not going to know what to do.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Oh, but I mean you want to have a good life, right,
That's why you let them go through hard things early
so when they hit hard things later, hard things don't
completely reshape their path.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
Dang.
Speaker 7 (10:20):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Sometimes the hardest thing to do as a parent is
to do nothing.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
Dang, I can do that easily.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
No, that'sn't work. That doesn't seem like what you do.
I think you're a good parent, but I think you're
way in the mix.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
I wonder what made the what he shared that made
the caller do that, because I don't remember.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
I think years and years of just being on.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
The stories piled up data, a lot of data. Data.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
They compiled five years of data. Okay, thank you for
the voicemails. You can always call us and leave a
voicemail if you want. If you have to tell me
something good on a voicemail, let us know. We'd love
to hear those as well. Eight seven, seven seventy seven Bobby,
seven seventy seven Bobby. Harvard research reveals the couples who
(11:06):
spend money on services that save them time and effort
enjoy their relationships more. Those would be like house cleaning
or even ordering takeout, because what that does is it
saves one or both of them from having to cook
and do the dishes. I feel like do the dishes
isn't counted in there as much your thoughts.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
Yeah, I mean, I think if that's part of your
budget and you can swing that, that's yeah, that could
be great.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
According to a six week study, busy dual income couples
who may time saving purchases on a given day reported
being happier and more satisfied with their relationships. Even if
you can't afford to outsource bigger household chores. This behavioral
scientist says that even a little bit helps free up
time to connect.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
So they're saying, even if you can't afford it.
Speaker 6 (11:49):
Do it.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
What I feel like they're saying is if you can
find a way to afford it, gotcha, it's probably it
should probably.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
Be made a priority if it can be. If you're
having trouble.
Speaker 6 (12:00):
Connecting, Yeah, like maybe when you are budgeting, like, yes,
like you just said, make it a priority.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Put it at the top of the list so that
y'all can have more time to connect.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
I like it. Let me ask you a personal question. Yeah,
how many dinners a week do you eat with your boyfriend?
Speaker 4 (12:14):
It depends on the week, Uh, like on average one too?
You mean, like with the whole.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Family, if you're having dinner or supper, depending on where
you are. Yeah, how many of those a week do
you have with your boyfriend?
Speaker 6 (12:30):
I'll say one to two times a week. We try
to either he'll come over with all of his kids
or all go over with mine. It's rarely, or if
I am kidless that week because they're with their dad,
I'll pop over for dinner. Which is great because he
is he works full time and then he's got his
kids and so he does have someone.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Like that helps him with the kids and cooking. So
I go over there and I feel like I can.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
Yeah, it has every kinds of people running around.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
It's not like it's like I show up and like
dinner is made and I sit down and I eat
and then I'm like, okay, cool. So I should make
it over there a little bit more.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Yeah, I would.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
It's nice. Oh I do now, but yeah, that's probably Yeah?
Is that should I try to make it more?
Speaker 2 (13:18):
No?
Speaker 5 (13:18):
I just wondered I didn't know what you guys day
to day routine was like, yeah.
Speaker 6 (13:22):
No, it's hard sometimes and they have a lot of
sports and there's basketball games, so then they eat a
lot later. That's what it is, Bobby honestly is sometimes
he's like, Okay, we're probably gonna eat dinnerun seven seven
thirty and I'm like, ooh, you know.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
What, great point, that's a little late. We a lot
of times don't join friends or invites. If they say, hey,
let's go to dinner and we're like, great, what time?
Speaker 5 (13:41):
Seven? Oh oh, got something just came up? You know
what came up? We eat at five exactly.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
I'm like, could we do four thirty
