Speaker 1 (00:00):
Pauline. I was talking about this off the air. There's
a bit of an issue going on in the UH,
in the Paulina household, and it has to do with
sports teams. And no matter where you're listening to us,
you know, people listen all across the country. You know,
we have a lot of different rivalries that we that
we deal with, you know, in the room and outside
the room. You've got, of course, you got Bears, Packers,
that's a big one. You got Duke UNC, you got

(00:23):
in my case, Southern Methodist and Texas Christian SMU t CU.
You got Michigan Michigan State, Kalin's and Michigan State. Girl Jason.
I mean, I know you have a very difficult time,
you know, because you're the sports guy.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
Yeah, what would you say is one of the hardest
rivalries for you to deal with?

Speaker 3 (00:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (00:39):
You know, like the Bears versus the Hornets. That's a
really rough one. The Bears in the Hornets. So the
Bears football team and the Hornets basketball team. Yeah, it's
a rivalry that people are not often talking about. Integue,
it's in really go through it when they play each other, Okay, yeah,
when they play each other. Wow, yeah, that would be
something to such. You didn't have a problem with all

(01:00):
those teams in Rhode Island. You know, there's a lot
of teams out there. Which one do you choose? Honestly? No, right,
and it's not your problem. And in your household it's
Cubs Socks, Cubs versus Now, if you're not familiar somehow
with the Cubs Socks rivalry, there is no middle. You

(01:21):
pick one or the other. That just so happens. Like
I grew up a Cubs fan because I grew up
in Arizona spring training. We didn't have baseball. My great
grandmother was a fan. We didn't have baseball growing up.
We did eventually get baseball, but I was just a
Cubs fan. But coming here, it was you choose one
or the other. If you don't have an allegiance, you
pick one. Like our boss thinks he can wear each

(01:43):
he thinks he can wear the hat of each of them.
He's dead ass wrong like that. That is that is
a take that I have a serious problem with. Oh wow,
that's me. No, but you can't, and you grew up
in Chicago. You can't. You can't just vacillate. You have
to pick one so you're a Sox fan. I am
Tho fan, and Hobby is a Cubs fan, Huge cup

(02:05):
And how did this come up?

Speaker 4 (02:06):
Well, we have a we share a baby, fifty to fifty,
you know, my DNA, her DNA, his DNA, and I
got some nice birthday gifts from you guys, and Rufio
got me like these onesies white Sox.

Speaker 5 (02:17):
I was like so excited to put him on her.

Speaker 4 (02:19):
And he went upstairs first deliberately to put on a
Cubs shirt a onesie because he knew I was gonna
do that. And he comes downstairs and he brings the
baby and I'm in her ear like we're white Sox fans,
Chicago white socks, and he got so offended, like she
knew what I was saying.

Speaker 5 (02:35):
But like he also just got offending. Right, doesn't know
where noses.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
But he's like telling me, I'm trying to bond with
her when it comes to sports, like it's really important
to me, which you guys have all seen my basement,
you wouldn't know. This man loves sports, right, love that
for him, and I love the White Sox, you know,
But I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 5 (02:51):
I don't keep up with stats like I'm not this big.

Speaker 4 (02:53):
Baseball girl, but I like what I like, huge White
Sox girl.

Speaker 5 (02:56):
But his family and him are like so hardcore clubs.

Speaker 4 (03:00):
And he was so offended that I even said the
word of White Sox to my baby's ear because I
just want her to like, you know, pick pick hers
when she can.

Speaker 5 (03:08):
But this man is like, no, like this is how
we're gonna bond.

Speaker 4 (03:10):
Love that he has this idea of bonding because you know,
he did get He expressed to me that when we
had a girl we found out was a girl, he
was scared he wasn't gonna be able to bond with her.

Speaker 5 (03:18):
Like he was afraid of that.

Speaker 4 (03:19):
Okay, but he's killing it at the girl dad thing
I think he is. He's so like just in tune
with her. I love it, and I want them to
bond over sports. But they can go to a White
Sox game. We can call up Michael Gomez and everybody
else of the White Sox and just go and and
go to you know, check it out.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
See, because like it really upsets me that my niece
is like you know that, I've grown to really love
my brother in law. But he's an Oklahoma guy. He's
an ou guy. He's a Cowboys guy. And I actually, honestly,
on my list of teams I can't stand are the
Cowboys and the Sooners, and I think that my nieces
will be fans of both. I think they have to be.

(03:57):
And it's very upsetting to me, Like I don't want
to see Little Polly and Little May wearing that death star.
I mean, it's just it's just terrible and honestly it's
so ugly. Oh my gosh, it's just a star. No,
it's their star. So I'm just wondering quickly eight five
five five one three five if you grew up like

(04:17):
either you grew up or us parents had children and
there was a rivalry, you know, maybe somebody came from
you know, I don't know. Maybe somebody went to do
somebody went to UNC, somebody went to somebody was from Wisconsin,
and somebody's from Illinois or whatever. It could be college,
it could be pro How did you settle that? Like,
do you just do you have both? Do they wear
both stuff until at some point they're old enough to

(04:40):
pick one? Or do you say no, sorry, like you're
gonna be like this, this is who you're cheering for.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
It just is, well, if your hobby's daughter, you probably
will have to, you know, stick with the cab because
I just know he's this is a hill he'll die on.
Like there's not many, but this is one of them.
And I noticed that yesterday. I don't think it's that serious,
but to this man it is. And I guess does
a dad to Rufio, it's important for me.

Speaker 6 (05:02):
Like obviously, the funny thing is, Jess and I have
the same sports legions, Like we both like the Cubs,
you both like the Bulls. But for Jess, she just
craps on all my teams.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Like she it doesn't matter.

Speaker 6 (05:13):
She's like, oh, we're gonna watch the Bulls game why
they're gonna lose, or we're gonna watch why they're gonna lose.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
So it's just like whatever, I just I just at
least I get to enjoy good. So your son gets
to grow up knowing that his dad to lose her
I pick the wrong teams apparently whatever. I don't know.
I mean, but like, how do you again, like do
you just is it? Like, uh, I make it all

(05:40):
available to you and then at some point you just
grow up and you have to have a tough conversation
with one of your parents and say like it is
little baby Gabriella. At some point gonna have to come
to you and be like, mom, I have something to
tell you, and you'll be all scared and stuff, and
she'll be like, I'm a Cubs fan and then you'll
have to work through that. Like, I mean, how does
that work?

Speaker 4 (05:56):
I mean, I don't know, because I do want them
to have that bonding experience, but I also want to
do that with her too. I want to go to
the Socks games, like I said, and have a hot dog.
I have one hot dog a year. I want to
enjoy that with my daughter Kayla. It's it's one a year.

Speaker 6 (06:09):
Vice versa if she if she is a Cubs fan,
would you go to games with her and hovey to Wrigley.

Speaker 5 (06:16):
No, I'm gonna let them have that. That could be
their thing.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
You won't even go.

Speaker 5 (06:19):
I won't step.

Speaker 4 (06:19):
Foot over Roosevelt, Like I like, I stop at Stay
in Roosevelt. That's where I start. Well, our station goes
past Roosevelt. Oh, well, you know I mean Chicago. Yeah,
I'm like, you know, not my streets. Yeah, I don't
have a certain point. I just feel like that's gonna
be their thing. I don't go over there. I stay away.

Speaker 5 (06:36):
I get a headache when I even step into that shit.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
You're gonna let You're just gonna lose this one.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
I'm gonna lose this one. Oh, I'll set this one out.
But I do, like I said, I want to take
her to my side. I want to take her to
the socks park and all of that and experience at all.
But I know he will genuinely have a problem with that,
like it actually stings this man, which is wild, Like
this is the hill.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
I told you I growing up, my parents they saved money,
and like the gift that they wanted to give up
because their parents gave my mom's parents gave it to
her was to pay for college. And so growing up
it was hey, we're saving, we're saving, we're saving wherever
you can get in. We'll pay for four years and
then we're done with you, by the way, And I
had no idea at the time what an amazing gift

(07:15):
that was. But so it came down to Southern Methodist
where my mom went in Dallas, and TCU Texas Christian,
which is their rival in Fort Worth. So the same
sort of area, gotcha, and so we went to visit.
We came out of those two, went to visit both,
and then we went to dinner the same day, went
to dinner and we sat down to my mom and
my dad and I and she said, okay, well, what's

(07:37):
it going to be? And I said, Mom, I want
to go to TCUH And she said, okay, how are
you going to pay for that?

Speaker 3 (07:44):
It is?

Speaker 5 (07:45):
Yeah, I'm you're very smart.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
G man. What's up? G man? Long time time, hey man,
appreciate you. How do you deal with this rival? The
inter family rivalry?

Speaker 3 (08:01):
Okay, so you know, I'm a coach in Life Long Coast.
Then my wife's a Sox fan. M We decided, as
long as they like baseball, you can't force it on them.
It puts a strain on everybody. As long as they
like baseball, it gets fun. It becomes fun to like
pok at each other when when they play each other,

(08:23):
and some of my kids they're coats and someone gets
a sock fent and we're we're cool with it. It's
fun and it doesn't have to be as serious.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
So you just let them choose sort of organically. I
like it.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
Yeah, and they can wear it both stuff right now,
she's a baby, yeah, don't don't don't put that on
don't put that on her.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
Yeah yeah, I mean she's a baby right now.

Speaker 4 (08:45):
She can go back and forth, we can, but black
and white again.

Speaker 3 (08:48):
She can, she can't. You know what, you don't want
to you know, you don't want to be a strain
on your relationship because of sports. Like, yeah, it is important,
but it's not.

Speaker 1 (08:58):

Speaker 1 (09:18):
My brother in law is originally from.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
San Diego and he moved over here at like fourteen.
So he's a big Padres fan and Chargers fan, and
now they have two boys. So the rule was they
could be San Diego fans and the only Chicago support
they could root for is the Blackhawks.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
Oh wow, because there's no hockey. Wow.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
Yeah, well there's no hockey in San Diego that's why.
