Speaker 1 (00:00):
Michigan's number one for new country B ninety three. It
is the B ninety three Morning Show. I'm Ali Mack.
You know, Mike, you said you were exhausted today for.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
The first time. Yeah, after like a weekend like this,
I am. I have hit my limit.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
This was like the first big sleepover, which we were
talking a bunch about that. Last week, your daughter, for
the first time ever had a friend come on a
camping trip with you guys to Canadian Lakes.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Yeah, it was mostly because I am nervous about the
whole sleepover thing with her going other places, so I
thought this would be a good way to kind of
teach her a little bit about how we're supposed to
behave and what's to be expected. What I didn't realize,
but I had no idea going into it. And we

(00:47):
had a blast. Don't get me wrong, we had a
lot of fun. Canadian Lakes is always fun. They treated
us very well. They always give the kids gifts when
we show up. Yeah, that part of it is incredible.
So there was lots to do. But that being said,
there was lots to do. I couldn't tell you if
I sat down one time, it could not tell you
if I sat down one time, my toenails are still

(01:09):
painted the Detroit Lions. That's the only way I could
justify it is Detroit Lions blue.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
Did we do like pedicures this weekend? Did they give
you a pedicure? How to walk me through that one?

Speaker 3 (01:19):
So they had nail polished.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
They wanted to do like a spot nothing last I
didn't know this either because all my kids are different
ages with each other, so I never really like, I
guess factor this in. Nothing lasts more than thirty minutes.
We're thirty minutes, we're doing it, and then we're on
to the next thing, right, and my daughter is very
much like, what are we doing next?

Speaker 3 (01:38):
How we do it? Let's go do this, Let's go
do this.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
And her friend is very chill and very laid back,
and so that balance was nice. But it started with
like a spot thing, so we're gonna do our nails.
And then I happened to walk around the corner and
they said, Dad, or you're gonna do your nails. And
I am trying to this whole weekend, Like I told you,
be the cool dad, be like this is what you
should expect every time you go stay at a friend's house.

(02:01):
The dad should be cool with whatever you're doing and
not be like distant and off doing his own thing.
He should be playing with you guys, right and very much.
So I was like, yeah, let's do our let's do
our nails. And I'm like, I'll get a fingernail done, right,
let me show you the picture. Well, no, all ten
toes and none of it is on my toenail. It's

(02:23):
all wrapped around the different parts of my toes. Then
after that, they're like, let's go to the pool and
I'm like.

Speaker 4 (02:30):
All right, just coming off in the chlorine.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Sure, yeah, oh no, no, I go sit in the
hot tub. The kids are playing, and then I'm chatting
with some people that are sitting in the hot tub
and I go to get out and my feet are
just covered in the nail pole of stoll. But it
looks so like chaotic that everybody in the hot tub
just stopped doing. What is going on here? What is
going on here? It stayed on my feet all weekend long.

(02:57):
It was a blast. It was a lot.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
So did ever everybody stay up at the campsite, because
that was another thing that we had talked about, like
we're not far away from home. So if anybody gets
a little bit nervous or homesick or upset, like it's
it's an hour drive, not a big eie.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Yeah, she must have done and I know both of
my my kids have done this as well. That she
must have stayed at her grandparents a lot, or stayed
with like like cousins or whatever that I don't know
that this was her first sleepover necessarily, but she did
very well. Okay, she was pretty good about it and
almost we almost kept her another night because she was
having like she was having so much fun. My daughter

(03:37):
was a pretty good host, like she was very much like, hey,
what do you want to do?

Speaker 3 (03:41):
Can we you know? What do you want to eat?

Speaker 2 (03:44):
Well? Yeah, to a point though, I had to be
like you have to kind of also do what you
want to do too, you can't always do whatever. But
that was like, like those are good lessons to have, right.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
Had this friend ever been to Canadian Lakes before?

Speaker 3 (03:55):
I don't think so.

Speaker 4 (03:55):
Okay, so sask could kind of show her the ropes?

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely fun. Yes, yeah, and
they had. There was never a moment where we're again,
I we packed, there's so many things to do there,
but we packed a lot into three days. Yeah, so
that it was never a moment where I'm like or
where they're like, I'm bored, I'm bored.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
Yeah, that's the dreaded as a you know, as someone
with three kids, or just like entertaining anyone at any
age is like you don't want you know, but.

Speaker 4 (04:25):
Sometimes it is just kind of nice to chill and
relax a little bit.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
Oh I bet, I bet it is?

Speaker 4 (04:31):
What is chill? What is relaxing?

Speaker 2 (04:33):
It ended up being a little more tougher for my
middle child or my my yeah, my middle child Milo,
who didn't have a friend there. So then dad has
to now try to be the cool dad with the
girls and make sure, which I wasn't.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
At some point it became Dad, we're gonna go off
on a bike. I was like, do you want me
to come with you?

Speaker 2 (04:48):
Well?

Speaker 3 (04:49):
No time?

Speaker 2 (04:50):
Oh yeah, okay whatever, yeah cool.

Speaker 4 (04:54):
Yeah I didn't want to come. I have stuff to do.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
They got plans to go golfing with Milo.

Speaker 4 (04:59):
Retire, do stuff with the camper.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
Did your dad ever like tinker with things? Oh?

Speaker 4 (05:06):
All the time?

Speaker 3 (05:06):
So I still does.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
That has never been a part of my life, Allie,
never until this week now now, probably recently, but a
lot this weekend. I noticed it. It's like when usually
I'm all playing with the kids and doing stuff, but like, yeah,
the kids are doing stuff, Milo wants to kind of
hang out. I'm tinkering with stuff and putting things together,
and I'm like, when does this happen?

Speaker 3 (05:28):
When did this happened?

Speaker 1 (05:30):
Ninety three Morning Show, you look you look okay despite
being exhausted.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
That's a very kind of thing for you, for you
to say, I'm very tired.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
This weekend was the big sleepover weekend. This was a
big camping weekend at Canadian Lakes.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
How to go well, I mean, Canadian Lakes is always fun.
There's always like they're always really really good to us
and they always find, you know, new and exciting things
to do. So we we branched out a little, we
found new trails. That part of it is a blast.
I we have three kids all under the age of eleven,
so I'm used to like, we'll go do some things,

(06:06):
but we also are gonna show because we got little
little ones with two girls that are the same age,
and I always want to go run off and do things.
We never stopped all weekend. It was wild in a
good way, in like a fun way. But I'm just
I'm very tired, and people who have four kids, or
have more than four kids, you are MVPs.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
I don't know how you do it. Everything was great.
I realized though, and I was just talking about that.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
We're on TikTok live at Ali Maack on air and
on air Mike, we're talking about this in the studio.
I realized they made a rookie move mistake. Before going camping,
we got a the girls were going to sleep in
a tent. That was the whole exciting part for them
is they were.

Speaker 4 (06:44):
Going to sleep so you guys were in the camper.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
They were going to have their own little space and
like a tent and do like the big sleepover weekend.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
Yeah, but we had I mean, there was plenty of
room for her to sleep in the camper. We just
that's what she wanted to do. It was like a fun,
exciting thing for her to do. Fine, So before we
went to like rings and got us our camper, we
had a my wife and I would sleep in this
like eleven person tent and it's like this big nice
yeah oh yeah yeah for yeah, yeah, it's just it
was just us and then we would have like the kids,

(07:12):
you know, we started having kids, and so then the
kids would go in there. And it was a nice
little setup because you could put a crib inside of it. It
was a whole thing or a pack and play. And
so we brought that tent.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
But what you're.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
Supposed to do, what you're supposed to do is you're
supposed to check everything before you go camping. Well, I
mean use that ten eight years. So I didn't even
think about it. I'm like, we must be good to go.
So we get out there, we set up everything, the
tent goes up perfect, We're like, cool, let's do this.
Didn't check the weather because again I go into camper everywhere,

(07:42):
so I don't even really think about the weather other
than activities. So we set it up and realize it's
about to rain. Oh no, we don't have a cover
for this thing. That cover is missing. So we scramble.
We run to all these different like ace hardware and
all these different places, grab tarbseet barely fit and I.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
Have a picture of It's ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
We have strapped now three different tarps over the top
of this eleven person tent. And are like, this is
still not gonna work, so we have to go buy
a brand new two person tent. And instead of taking
down now this big, huge, eleven person tent that we
just set up like a turn ducan we just throw
in the new tent.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
The Russian nusting dolls of tent. Yes, it was so ridiculousness.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
But it worked and everybody was safe and nobody got wet.
And my biggest fear was there was a box member
of the box fan I told you about. There was
a box fan inside of there, and I'm like, they're
gonna get rained on that box fan is gonna.

Speaker 4 (08:40):
Get of course, the box fan came.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
It goes everywhere.

Speaker 4 (08:46):
Why do you need a vacation from your vacation.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
I think you do it smart when you go on
vacation because you always do a like a Friday Monday,
and my guess is you come back in like a
Sunday and then you take that Monday.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
Yeah, it's smart. Always it's smart.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
I've been riding all summer long for the most part,
just coming in the next day and.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
I yes, yes it is.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
And I've done pretty well for half of the summer.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
But this weekend, man, holy cow.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
An extra kid who are isn't like five or six
and can easily chill and or whatever, who's like eleven,
who is always active and like she's got I didn't.
She was a good kid, great an absolutely amazing guest,
and my daughter was really good about making sure she
was having a good time or whatever. But there was
one point where like she ran off and I guess

(09:42):
she told everybody she was going to the bathroom. Okay,
but she ran off to like the bath house instead
of just using the camper.

Speaker 4 (09:49):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
So like we look around and we're like, where did
she go? Where she were chased? We're running through every
like every road we'd send ses out. My daughter has
a watch like a gizmoto or whatever those are called,
so I can find her or access her if she does,
you know, go for.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
A bike ride or something.

Speaker 4 (10:07):
But they didn't go together.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
They didn't go together. She just I guess she told
everybody and then just ran off. And so she told
my lawn, Sebastian, she told the trees. Yeah, so I was.
I'd say that to say that I've been moving this weekend.
I was moving this weekend, and I am tired.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
Holy cow, Mike needs a massage. Yes, why do you
need a vacation from your vacation? Six one six two
four to two ninety three ninety three, Sarah messaged from
a Skegon. She said, we went to visit family out
of state, which really just meant I did the same
chores but in someone else's kitchen. I now need a
vacation where no one asks me where the scissors are.

Speaker 3 (10:48):
Good.

Speaker 4 (10:49):
That's so good, just from cran rapids.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
She also messaged, She said, we did Disney double stroller
a meltdown every two hours, and my in laws walked
twenty two thousand steps a day and cried in a
bathroom at Epcot. I need a solo weekend in absolute silence.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
That's so real. That's what we need to do, is
we need to give away solo vacation. Yeah, get free vacation.

Speaker 4 (11:14):
Yeah, get in touch.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
Six one six two four to two ninety three ninety three.
Good morning, be ninety three? Who's this and where are
you from?

Speaker 2 (11:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (11:24):
That's all he wanted to say.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
My man must be on vacation, and then he hung up.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
Yeah he's on the vacation that he's gonna need a
vacation from.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
It is wild to think about vacations now, even if
if you don't have kids, usually surround or are surrounded
with like activities and things you want to do. Rarely
is it I'm just going to chill somewhere on a
beach or in a hotel room or anywhere and just
do nothing.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
And I mean, yeah, when you're a parent, I can
definitely see why the vacations don't seem so vacation y anymore.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
Even as like though, don't you don't you find yourself
like needing it, even if it's just the travel or
you're entertaining or you're doing something with friends. Y.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
I'm telling you, that's why I always take a buffer day,
because I'm like, I just need a day when I
come back to just be in my house. I usually
don't leave. I don't unpack right away. I just chill
and sort of get my head right for the work
week or whatever.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
Like we even got back at a decent time yesterday,
because Canadian Lace is only like an hour away, so
it's not like we got back like late. We got
back of a noonsh Yeah, but then you got to
unpack the camper. You gotta get the kids back to
their their own house, and I don't think we sat
down again until five four or five o'clock.

Speaker 3 (12:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
See, you guys are the type of people that like
unpack and undo everything that you needed to do for
the vacation as soon as you get home.

Speaker 4 (12:42):
I have to I am not.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
I wouldn't if it was just my suitcase, and if
it was just my wife's we would wait same all
week long. Yeah, but we now got to put the
kids stuff in the laundry and the camper. You can't
leave packed with things, and we're already thinking about going
camping again here, so you gotta get it ready again.

Speaker 4 (13:00):
Just left it packed.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
My suitcase from Denver is still packed, sitting in my
guest bedroom. I'm like, yeah, this is not a this
week project.
