Q and DA time.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
We're Morgan in a show member answer almost all your questions.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Welcome to the Listener Q and A Time. Eddie is
here with me. Eddie, have you been on since I've
been doing like shout outs at the beginning?
Speaker 3 (00:17):
I think I remember some shout outs. Okay, the shoutouts
are cool. I like those.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Yeah, they make you feel good.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
Yeah, you know, because a lot of things are rough lately,
so shout out. Start out with some good things. Christine
from Virginia said, no question. Just wanted to say Eddie
has the best attitude.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Oh that's so sweet. I try my best, Christine, you do.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Try your best.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
I try my best.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Apparently he's a little weird too. Eddie is my favorite.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Go listen to part one if you want to know
that reference. Eddie is my favorite.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
On the show.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Stephanie from Ohio, Thanks Stephanie, you're my favorite listener.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
You don't even know her?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Yes, I do.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
What colors are heir?
Speaker 3 (00:49):
I do tell a lot of listeners that too. She's
got darker hair.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Okay, she probably does. I mean you had a shot
there actually.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Like like, dang it all or opposite. All right, let's
get into some listener questions. We're gonna talk kids.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Yes, are there.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Any sports you hope your kids never show interest in?
Kaylee and Kentucky?
Speaker 5 (01:10):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Never. I mean I wouldn't hate it. I wouldn't hate
it if they didn't like football.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Really, yeah, why because it just the most injuries just.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Because of the dangers of playing football.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Like the head injury, d bad injury.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Yeah, I mean really kind of just any injuries. Like
there's there's a lot of older football players that you
see now that can't even walk just because their hips
are bad, their knees are bad.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Like you just think that's like pro NFL players though, No,
but even like just you know, collegiate players and not
like you know, people that played for Alabama, people that
played for like ball State, any college.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Yeah, and even like high school if you play like
high level high school football, bad injury because like ainger
for the rest of your life. So I would say,
just because of injuries, I wouldn't hate it if they
if any of them were just like I don't want
to play football, Okay, but I have two that really
want to play football and that are playing football. I
have one that's already playing football and he's not huge.
(02:16):
He's not big. He's really good, but he's not big,
and I worry every single time, like he's going to
break something.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Do you feel like he's gonna want to play in college.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
If he's able to. Yeah, if he's like, if he
makes it to college, one hundred percent, he will play
all the way through college. I don't play in the NFL,
like if he's ever ever that good. He loves it
that much. And I thought that as soon as he
would play it, start playing it and get one big
hit or like get hit somewhere or some hit that
knocks him out, like he would quit. Nope, he loved it.
(02:47):
He got it, he got nailed.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Oh he got like an adrenaline rush.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
He got nailed, and he was like that was awesome.
Then he loves hitting like he just loves it all
it's it's crazy.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Oh that's funny, you got like adrenaline.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
I have two of those, and I have one that's
like he doesn't like he wants to play football and
he's not scared of getting hit, but he doesn't really
love the game that much. So I don't know if
he'll ever play and it's not because he's scared of
being hit. I just don't think he'll ever play football
because he's much better at basketball. He loves basketball a
(03:20):
lot more.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Well, that's fair.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
At least you like basketball, then I do love basketball.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
In your basketball coach for a while, yeah, same when
you basketball coached.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
No another one. However, I might be going I haven't
told no one this. I might be going back in
an exclusive. Yeah, I might be going back in Because
what happens in parent world is if you want to
if you want to create a team where like we've
played so much, we're at the point now where we've
played so much basketball that we can go anywhere in
(03:48):
the city and we recognize five or six players that
we know that either we've played with they've been on
our team, or they've we played against them, or they
know my kids just because they played against them. And
so it's the community of we know a bunch of
people that play basketball in town, and we live in
a big city. And so if we want to create
a team, like you have to be the coach. And
(04:11):
so I have seen about six players that I would
love to have on one team that are just all
really good at different things a big kid, a shooter,
a defensive player, and I've seen these and like, we're
thinking it's best for our kid too to be on
a winning team. Yeah, so if we want that to happen,
I might need to step out and be a coach again.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
You know this is so true.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
I'm looking back and I've never asked my mom why,
but I would imagine it's something of the similar.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Reason. She started a competitive cheer.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Team when we were young, young, young, young, and we
had competed on extreme athletics, which was pretty well known
in like the Witchhaw area as a competitive cheer squad.
And because we were going to compete, this wasn't the
cheersquad at high school. Like basketball, the game a little
bit different, the competitive you're going to competitions and you.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Have a dull routine. Is that the one that goes
to Disney World?
Speaker 4 (05:03):
That one can there's different ones. I don't think we
did on that on that level.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
I can't remember. I was so young, like I, but
there are.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
How young were you, Eddie?
Speaker 4 (05:12):
I couldn't have been more than five years old. I
was a baby doing stunts in the air. There are
photos of the Wichita State University cheer team. The guys
putting me up in the air and they'd throw me
in baskets, you know where they tossed you in the
air and I was just little, And there's videos and
photos of all of that.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
That's cool, But something I don't know what happened.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
If my mom was just like, I want like this
to be something, because we really wanted to pursue it.
We loved competitive cheerleading and tumbling gymnastics, and so my
mom started her own thing. We had a competitive called
Ice Competitive cheer squad for years and my mom.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Even like passed it down to somebody at some point.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
It was wild and it started with some of the
Witchitawk State University people.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
That's cool.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
It was crazy.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
So your mom she was a cheerleader, No, I don't
think so.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
She just loved to choose a great coach, great leader.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
And probably and it really is a thing too. If
you want what's best for your kid, you've got to
you've got to be the leader, Like you've got to
start the team. You've got to do all the work.
You've got to recruit, you've got to get different people
that are gonna make your kids look better, you know,
and Whenever my kids have good players on their team,
they look better.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Yeah, you know, and it sets them up for success
in different ways.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Because for years we were always just like, hey, you
got room in your team, You got room in your team.
And then they're like, yeah, sure, bring them in, and
they never really played even though they're so good. Whoever
if they're because usually each team has about three coaches
and they're all dads, and so those three kids, no
matter how good they are, are going to play most
most of the game because the dads and you kind
(06:43):
of respect that because they're the ones taking all the
personal time into the team. They're doing the practices, they're
they're doing the rosters, they're communicating with the parents, all
that stuff, and it takes a lot of time. So
you understand, I get it. You're doing all the work,
So why not your kid get all the playing time. Yeah,
but it's not good for the team because if they suck,
they suck.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
It just is what it is.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
I mean, we're dealing with that. Now. We have a
coach where like he and this this is a good
basketball team, but his son, like is not the best
player on the team, and he starts and he probably
turns the ball over twenty times and they can't win games,
and it's like every parent is like, bro, like can
you not see this? And he may not. He may
(07:24):
not see it because as a parent you don't see that.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Or he just wants him to keep getting better, so
he's like, you have to play more.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Well yeah, but dude, there's also all these other kids
that are trying to get better too, Like let's teach
all these kids. So yeah, it's frustrating, but it's so.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Funny how that works. That's the thing that continues sports, yep,
forever and ever.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
Okay, on the flip side of that, what is a
favorite skill of yours that you hope you pass on
to your kids. We kind of touched on this a
little bit. We're talking part one of weird traits you passed.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Say, yeah, but we're not talking about that now.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
The things you would like to pass on to them
From Chris in Massachusetts.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Chris, this is funny because my wife and I were
just talking about this. We were at the dinner table
and like anytime I'm like, hey, we're gonna have steaks
steaks tonight. The boys like, yes, We're having Dad's steak
and my wife is like, hey, boys, you should acknowledge this,
like this is cool. Like your dad like is a
(08:15):
good cook and you should learn from him how to
cook these things so that you can be a good cook.
And then my wife loves because I mean we have
four boys. Yeah, and my wife's her angle in conversation
all the time is like your girlfriends or your wives.
It's always like, don't do that, Like, don't do that?
Do you really want your girlfriend or wives to see
(08:35):
you do? Shout out? And one of the big ones
like learn to cook. Learn to cook. Your wife will
appreciate that.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Have any of them started learning to cook you?
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Our sixteen year old is really weirdly involved in cooking,
where like he's he got a cookbook for Christmas. I
guess it's like a viral TikTok oh there's so many
kids or something or a YouTube guy his name is
like Nick Joe Giovanni, I don't know anyway, and so
he watches him all the time. He got a cookbook.
He bought it, and so once a week he goes
(09:07):
to the grocery store and make something off the cookbook.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Like for the whole family or just for himself.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Well, he tries to do the whole family, but that's
too much. So sometimes he'll just do like everyone can
try it.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Got it, you know, it's like a happetizer.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
It's like noki, right, and like everyone can have like
five pieces of noki or something like that. And so
he loves it. He loves doing it, and I'll help
him with it, and mostly I'm just kind of there, like, bro,
speed it up, like we'll be here for two hours
if you don't hurry up, because he like he starts
cutting the potatoes nice and slow and evenly I'm like, nah,
let's go fast.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
He's got to watch some of those cooking competitions, just like, yes,
this is fast.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
You got five minutes because he's very slow and just
delicate and precise. Yeah, and it's like, man, you gotta
and even like just flipping like a burger. He like
don't want to get the oil on me or whatever.
It's like they're just get in there, like get the
spatula in there and whip it. Let's go.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
That's so funny.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
So yeah, I would say cooking and because my dad
passed that on to me. Yeah, he was an awesome person.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
That is a great trait to have.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
It's not one that is easily come by either. It's
you kind of have to really teach yourself that skill.
So great one to pass down.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
And like my wife said, your girlfriend's gonna love it.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
But yeah, they're all going to be a catch because
they know how to cook. You know how many times
I meet it, God and I'll be like, you don't
know how to cook. I'm like, I'm not making new
sandwiches for the rest of your life.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Yeah, your boyfriend not to cook?
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Yeah, in uh, vegetables and heat grills and stuff too.
So yeah, he does have that side. He's learning a
lot from my vegetarianism.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
It's an adjustment, yes.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Which I'm super lucky is his mom, I guess is
actually vegan, so that helps.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
He's kind of used to eating vegetarian. So when I
do weird things, it's like, no, this tastes great. I'll
eat anything that's awesome. Yeah. But and then yeah, good
at dishes too.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
That's another time my kids. I do the dishes.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Every time I see him do the dish on Yes,
he does it often. Yes.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Wendy from Richmond wants to know who helps your wife
when you're at home when you are gone and GE's
at home.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Oh, Wendy, that's a good question. No one, no one.
It's it's hard. It's hard. Like you know, other parents
will help with pick up, like will you pick so
and so up and drop them off? And they'll do
that kind of thing usually, like when there's games to
go to, which I hate missing their games. But if
there are games and we're on the road, somebody just
(11:31):
has to miss a game. The kids, one of the
kids has to miss a game.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Do they get mad about it?
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Like?
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Do the kids know?
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Usually it's the little one, the five year old. Okay,
he plays baseball. Usually his is the one that has
to get canceled. Yeah, but he doesn't know, like literally,
if you tell him there's no game this weekend, he'd
be like cool, Okay, no game.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
He's not at the point where he's remembering yet. No,
you're lucky.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Maybe two more years of.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
That, yeah maybe, and then there's gonna be a fight.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
Yeah, Okay, all right, gonna take a quick break. And
I got more questions for you. Kelly and Patty both
asked how your wife's art selling is going.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
She sold a piece? Did she sold a piece. Yeah,
I mean it's kind of So she's been working on
this for about year and a half, close to year
and a half.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
When you say working on it meaning putting together her
business or painting the different eyes.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Just painting. What she wanted to do was just paint
first and she'd finish a painting, put it aside, do
another painting, put it aside, and then once she had
ten which I guess an artist world, you have a collection. Okay,
I think I don't know. That's what she says. I
know nothing about that.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
I trust you both because I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Rather than that looks cool. That's my expertise in art.
That looks cool. Other than that, I don't know anything.
And so apparently she wanted to have a collection, and
so once that collection was done, then you can put
it up for sale and then go from there. But
what she didn't realize is that there's kind of a
price that goes along with it, and it's you know,
(13:03):
you set it like a dollar a square foot or whatever,
like seventy cents of square foot whatever. But all of
the pieces that she made were humongous. They're huge, they're
they're on the size of the kitchen table, like they're
so big, and so everything immediately is like three thousand dollars.
Two thousand dollars is maybe the cheapest, and so like
that's not easy to sell, and so I so what
(13:26):
she didn't realize was like, oh, man, like once I
start selling these, like I should have made smaller ones
so people can buy or prints. And I guess in
the art world again, like you can make prints of
your art and sell those for much much cheaper because
it's not the original art.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Got it.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
However, See this is all the stuff that I never knew.
And she tried, she tried to explain this to me.
But if you do that, you have to let the
owner of the original art and know that you were
going to do prints before you sell it. Because people
like original art. It's almost like collecting, almost like in
Bobby's world of memorabilia.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
You want to be the only one that has it.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
If you have the Tom Brady signed helmet, the one
of one that's worth so much, and like you love
having that because it's one of one. But if there
was two hundred fake ones just like that that they sold,
that now makes your one of one kind of like
not that special. Because it's been printed out a lot. Yeah,
(14:26):
so there's kind of that that she's kind of struggling with.
She's like, I don't know, should I do prints of
mine or I don't know? So she finally sold one.
She was so excited that she sold one. But now
she's like, I've got to make smaller ones so that
more people can afford these.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Well, maybe that's the trade off instead of doing prints,
she just makes some smaller ones are more affordable for
other people.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
But also she's put.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
In a lot of time and effort on those pieces,
and that's also a reason why art is so expensive, right,
And the ones that I don't understand where they wrote
like stop in black paint and it goes for fifty
million dollars.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
No I'm missing I know, but there are some people
in the world that are like, oh, I need that.
I need that in my living room. Like how many
times do I say stop? It means so much? It
means and this, it means so much to me. I
need it so cool. And she's also doing requests like
I guess it's called oh, there's a word for it,
(15:24):
I don't know, commission commission work. So like you can
message her and say I have a room that's kind
of like greenish and I want something with like green shades.
Then she can personally make something for for you. And
she's doing that right now for somebody, for somebody.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
So she sold a piece of her work and she's
working on a commission work.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Correct amazing, And she's also working on smaller ones that'll
probably be up for sale, I would say in the
next few weeks. Yeah, and two of them like are awesome.
I love it.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Have you been on any of them? Like, Hey, no,
we're keeping that. Let's staying here.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
There's one that she wants to keep, and she like,
I really really want to keep it because there's kind
of like there's kind of a hidden thing in it
where like she did it and she's like, this is cool,
Like I hid.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
This a little Easter egg in there.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Yeah, there are like Easter eggs in the painting. And
she's like, I kind of want to keep it for
that reason because it means this to me. But I
don't know, I don't know if she's gonna end up
keeping it out at.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
The right price. You know, she's part with it.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Yeah, but I'm so proud of her. She's she's doing
great and like it's it's a huge deal for me too,
because she's really been working on art for so long
since I met her. She's always done art, but she
never has been able to do art in this way
because if we have four kids, like but she also
is like, if I'm going to do this, I'm going
to make the time I have that those hours while
(16:43):
they're in school to do this, I'm going to do it.
So I'm proud of her for doing that.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
I'm so happy for her. She deserves that. Your wife's amazing.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Are you and your wife still working with the foster
care system from Susan in North Dakota.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
So we're not doing anything in particular. We do some
kind of like we have like some friends that that
are foster parents that have gone into fostering and so
we kind of help them a little bit. But no,
we're not doing anything big. I still want to speak
on fostering. It's kind of been something that I've been
wanting to do for a long time.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
You had that one event, did you not do any other?
Speaker 3 (17:17):
I had like three, I've had like three events.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
I just knew about the one because there was a
picture in the outfit that was the one that I.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Remember maybe four events. I mean, I'm racking up the events,
which is cool because my stories, my story is unique
in the way of like I didn't want to be
a foster parent, Like I this is the last thing
in the world that I thought I would ever ever be,
but I got into it, and the story of how
I got into it and why I decided to give
it a shot is really cool. And then just the
(17:44):
end of the story is cool because like, my life
has changed completely for the for the for the better. Yeah,
And whenever we're at church and I think may I
think now is is Foster Awareness Month? And so every
time they mentioned that kind of it's kind of like, yeah,
I did that, That's what I did.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
You got your boy Scout bats.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Yeah, it's like a badge of just like, yeah, I've
been part of that community. I know what that's like.
So when you hear people talking about fostering or opening
up their home to being a foster home, a lot
of people like, I don't know what that is. I
don't know what you're talking about. So I kind of
zone out, but not me anymore, Like, yeah, that was us, Yeah,
and those were my boys. Those were my boys, which
(18:23):
is crazy to even think that that's the situation they
were in because their life is so perfect right now
that it's hard to imagine that they were in that
situation at one point in their life.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
It's so true.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Well I love that. I hope you can speak some more,
but I.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Do want to speak more. And yeah, yeah, we should
get involved with some organizations a little more.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Well, you guys also have done a lot and now
you're on a different side of it, so it comes
in ebbs and flows what it looks like. All right,
we're going to take a quick break in just a
few more. Already, this is kind of an advice situation.
Hailey from Maine is getting married in eighteen days and
wants to know if you have any advice for her
going into this stage of.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Life a marriage.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Woo, that's a big one, I know.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
And don't you can't do the cheesy one where it's like,
what's going to be angry because like we all know
those at this point.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Yeah, you'll get a bit angry. It'll happen. Everything that
they say like don't do, it's gonna happen. Yeah, Like
I remember, I remember them telling us like don't say
words like always you always do this, I guarantee you,
Like last week I probably said that you always do this,
Like I just it just happens, you know. Marriage, Oh,
(19:42):
marriage is probably the hardest thing that you'll ever do
in your life. And I mean that in a good way,
because when you do last or get over some really
hard hard times in your marriage, it feels like you
just won the biggest fight of your life. Like you
just you're the champion of the world, the heavyweight champion
of the world. Because it's Morgan. Imagine it. You're sharing
(20:05):
everything that you have in your life with one person. Everything. Yeah, everything.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
That's a huge feet in my eyes.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Where you're used to just doing whatever you want. Like
my brother he's single. I think he'll be single for
the rest of his life because in his mind, he
wants to do whatever he wants. He's like, if I'm hungry,
I'm going to go eat. If I'm tired, I'm going
to sleep. If I want to go to a bar,
I'm going to go to a bar. Like that's how
he lives his life. When you get married, you can't
(20:32):
do that. It's just not like that I'm hungry, are
you hungry. Where do you want to go eat? Should
we go eat? Now? No, let's wait, Like it's just
it's just hard money. Money is such a weird thing.
The question of or how you were raised like I
always did this, I was raised this way. You were
(20:53):
raised differently? How do we make that? How do we
do that together? You know, just there's so many you
don't realize how different you are than someone until you
get married, Like you just even though we're the same,
like you can like you're dating your boyfriend now and
you're like, oh my gosh, we have so much in common.
We have this in common. We love movies, we love
these sports, we love blah blah whatever. But there is
(21:14):
something that you have not talked about yet that when
you get married, you're like, oh.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Crap, this this is what we did talk about.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
We didn't talk about this, and this is where we
think completely different about this. How are we going to
get through this? Or even how you deal with problems,
like there are so many things that you're gonna like
just go through, but when you get through them, it's
the coolest thing in the world. And to know that
you have someone on your side at all times, it's
(21:44):
pretty badass.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Oh that's great advice.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
It's really cool to feel like you've got someone on
your side.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
I think that's such great advice.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Yeah, thank you at.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Least for her to look forward to this.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
You're gonna love it. You're gonna love it.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
Oh, congratulations by the way, Hayley, I don't know who
what your husband's name is, but congratch relations to you
too or partner, whoever they may be.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Congratulations.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
And last one advice from for someone going into college
s B from Mississippi.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
S B.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Yeah, I don't know, it just says SB.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Man. This is a tough one because of like do
a parent, do I talk as a parent? Do I
talk as a and I'll.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Talk as somebody who went into college? Okay, does that work?
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Yes? As a parent? Take it seriously, Like I don't
know if you're supporting your way through college or if
your parents are paying through college, paying for college, or
if you got a scholarship. I don't know what that
situation is. But if your parents are paying for college,
it's a sacrifice. It is such a sacrifice for them
(22:46):
to get you to college, to get you to go
to college, for you to have this college experience. So
don't waste their money, like, take it seriously, go to class, learn,
stay busy, don't drink too much, don't party too much.
You can still have fun, but be responsible and enjoy
(23:09):
it because college is going to be the best time
of your life. College is going to be awesome.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
See I was, I was on the other end. I
agree with Eddie that you should work really hard.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
But you should work hard and you should play harder,
play harder.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Yes, you know, because.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
You don't get that time back in your life where
you are an adult.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
You are able to kind of make your own money
and spend your time how you want. You're learning what.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
Being an adult looks like. You don't really have massive responsibilities.
You have the responsibility of attending class, passing your classes,
and yeah, please stay uves. But like you don't when
you get out of college, you have so many responsibilities.
You have to pay for things that you never even
realized maybe depending on what your.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Life, depending on what that's circumstances.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Yeah, but this is the one time in your life
where you get to let lose and live life and
really enjoy what life has to offer. You get to
meet new people You're never going to meet people in
the way you're going to meet people in college.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
It's not like that anywhere else.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Everyone's in the same boat, like they're wanting to meet people.
You're wanting to meet people exactly in the real world.
Some people have people, some people want to meet people.
Some people don't want to meet people.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
No, No, there's no time in your life that is like
the time period of college. Not just college itself, but
time period of college. So experience everything. Say yes to
nearly everything. Nearly whoa nearly?
Speaker 3 (24:33):
WHOA easy on the drugs?
Speaker 1 (24:35):
I said nearly nearly for reason. Nearly everything.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
If somebody wants to you're going to take a weekend
trip somewhere close by, go do it.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
If somebody wants to go to dinner and try somewhere
or go do it.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
What about football games?
Speaker 4 (24:49):
Go to the games, go to every game, Go experience sports.
I didn't like sports, you know what, I was at
all the basketball games. I went to football games.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
I did a sorority. I never would have thought I'd
been in a sorority. I did it.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
And I'm so glad that I just said yes to
so many things, because now in my adult life, when
I ended that and I even ended college early in
three years. In doing that, I still am like I
had the best time. I lived it up and I
really got to enjoy that time period of my life.
Versus coming out of it, I'm like, dang, I regret
I didn't do that. I didn't only get two hours
(25:20):
of sleep that night, you know what I mean. Like,
you're not gonna look back and be like I slept
really good.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
You're really not.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
You're gonna look back and be like, dang, I was
hungover in that class and that was rough, but I
made it to class.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
But going to that party, yeah, you did both. That's
why I say you work hard and you party harder
or play harder.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Yeah your version. That was hard for me because like
I played hard, really hard and didn't work that hard,
And it was because it was hard for me to
balance the two. Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
It's a delicate balance.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
When you play hard, you want to play harder, and
then you play harder, you're like, you want to play
harder than that, and then after a while you're like,
oh crap, I haven't worked at all.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
It's so true. You have to balance and made a
little schedule.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
If you don't work hard, you will not be able
to do that next year. That's why I tell my
kids too, like, hey, you're gonna come home. You're gonna
you're gonna just you're gonna be sent home next year,
and it's all gonna be over. Like, so make sure
you continue to work hard.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
Your priority should always be passing your classes.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
But right under that passing your classes.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
A freaking adult and living your best life in college
it is one.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Time in your life this is ever gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
It is cool too to learn things in college, like
like even just like learning how to cook, you know,
learning how to do your own laundry, learning how to
like decorate your apartment or your you know, your dorm whatever,
just like all the cool things that adults did, like
you're wonder Like, oh my mom she always had this
like little ornament on the coffee table, Like ah, now
(26:44):
you can dress up your room however you want and
go Like.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
I was in a co ed dorm. Never would have
thought I'd live with in a co ed dorm. I
did it because I was like, this is a cool experience.
Who knows what's going to happen? Ye do things that
are outside of your comfort zone in a way that
is going to benefit you.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
That's how I say, don't do drugs.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
I like it.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Do things that are beneficial, like go eat in the
in the thing. If you think the food's gross, go
eat it. Who cares? Go experience life, So one time
in your life where you are not going to have
major responsibilities.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
College was awesome.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
It was so awesome.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
I would go back right now, we too.
Speaker 4 (27:16):

Yeah, they make you feel good.

Stephanie from Ohio, Thanks Stephanie, you're my favorite listener.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
You don't even know her?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Yes, I do.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
What colors are heir?
Speaker 3 (00:49):
I do tell a lot of listeners that too. She's
got darker hair.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Okay, she probably does. I mean you had a shot
there actually.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Like like, dang it all or opposite. All right, let's
get into some listener questions. We're gonna talk kids.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Yes, are there.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Any sports you hope your kids never show interest in?
Kaylee and Kentucky?
Speaker 5 (01:10):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Never. I mean I wouldn't hate it. I wouldn't hate
it if they didn't like football.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Really, yeah, why because it just the most injuries just.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Because of the dangers of playing football.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Like the head injury, d bad injury.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Yeah, I mean really kind of just any injuries. Like
there's there's a lot of older football players that you
see now that can't even walk just because their hips
are bad, their knees are bad.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Like you just think that's like pro NFL players though, No,
but even like just you know, collegiate players and not
like you know, people that played for Alabama, people that
played for like ball State, any college.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Yeah, and even like high school if you play like
high level high school football, bad injury because like ainger
for the rest of your life. So I would say,
just because of injuries, I wouldn't hate it if they
if any of them were just like I don't want
to play football, Okay, but I have two that really
want to play football and that are playing football. I
have one that's already playing football and he's not huge.
(02:16):
He's not big. He's really good, but he's not big,
and I worry every single time, like he's going to
break something.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Do you feel like he's gonna want to play in college.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
If he's able to. Yeah, if he's like, if he
makes it to college, one hundred percent, he will play
all the way through college. I don't play in the NFL,
like if he's ever ever that good. He loves it
that much. And I thought that as soon as he
would play it, start playing it and get one big
hit or like get hit somewhere or some hit that
knocks him out, like he would quit. Nope, he loved it.
(02:47):
He got it, he got nailed.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Oh he got like an adrenaline rush.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
He got nailed, and he was like that was awesome.
Then he loves hitting like he just loves it all
it's it's crazy.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Oh that's funny, you got like adrenaline.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
I have two of those, and I have one that's
like he doesn't like he wants to play football and
he's not scared of getting hit, but he doesn't really
love the game that much. So I don't know if
he'll ever play and it's not because he's scared of
being hit. I just don't think he'll ever play football
because he's much better at basketball. He loves basketball a
(03:20):
lot more.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Well, that's fair.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
At least you like basketball, then I do love basketball.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
In your basketball coach for a while, yeah, same when
you basketball coached.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
No another one. However, I might be going I haven't
told no one this. I might be going back in
an exclusive. Yeah, I might be going back in Because
what happens in parent world is if you want to
if you want to create a team where like we've
played so much, we're at the point now where we've
played so much basketball that we can go anywhere in
(03:48):
the city and we recognize five or six players that
we know that either we've played with they've been on
our team, or they've we played against them, or they
know my kids just because they played against them. And
so it's the community of we know a bunch of
people that play basketball in town, and we live in
a big city. And so if we want to create
a team, like you have to be the coach. And
(04:11):
so I have seen about six players that I would
love to have on one team that are just all
really good at different things a big kid, a shooter,
a defensive player, and I've seen these and like, we're
thinking it's best for our kid too to be on
a winning team. Yeah, so if we want that to happen,
I might need to step out and be a coach again.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
You know this is so true.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
I'm looking back and I've never asked my mom why,
but I would imagine it's something of the similar.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Reason. She started a competitive cheer.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Team when we were young, young, young, young, and we
had competed on extreme athletics, which was pretty well known
in like the Witchhaw area as a competitive cheer squad.
And because we were going to compete, this wasn't the
cheersquad at high school. Like basketball, the game a little
bit different, the competitive you're going to competitions and you.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Have a dull routine. Is that the one that goes
to Disney World?
Speaker 4 (05:03):
That one can there's different ones. I don't think we
did on that on that level.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
I can't remember. I was so young, like I, but
there are.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
How young were you, Eddie?
Speaker 4 (05:12):
I couldn't have been more than five years old. I
was a baby doing stunts in the air. There are
photos of the Wichita State University cheer team. The guys
putting me up in the air and they'd throw me
in baskets, you know where they tossed you in the
air and I was just little, And there's videos and
photos of all of that.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
That's cool, But something I don't know what happened.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
If my mom was just like, I want like this
to be something, because we really wanted to pursue it.
We loved competitive cheerleading and tumbling gymnastics, and so my
mom started her own thing. We had a competitive called
Ice Competitive cheer squad for years and my mom.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Even like passed it down to somebody at some point.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
It was wild and it started with some of the
Witchitawk State University people.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
That's cool.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
It was crazy.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
So your mom she was a cheerleader, No, I don't
think so.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
She just loved to choose a great coach, great leader.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
And probably and it really is a thing too. If
you want what's best for your kid, you've got to
you've got to be the leader, Like you've got to
start the team. You've got to do all the work.
You've got to recruit, you've got to get different people
that are gonna make your kids look better, you know,
and Whenever my kids have good players on their team,
they look better.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Yeah, you know, and it sets them up for success
in different ways.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Because for years we were always just like, hey, you
got room in your team, You got room in your team.
And then they're like, yeah, sure, bring them in, and
they never really played even though they're so good. Whoever
if they're because usually each team has about three coaches
and they're all dads, and so those three kids, no
matter how good they are, are going to play most
most of the game because the dads and you kind
(06:43):
of respect that because they're the ones taking all the
personal time into the team. They're doing the practices, they're
they're doing the rosters, they're communicating with the parents, all
that stuff, and it takes a lot of time. So
you understand, I get it. You're doing all the work,
So why not your kid get all the playing time. Yeah,
but it's not good for the team because if they suck,
they suck.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
It just is what it is.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
I mean, we're dealing with that. Now. We have a
coach where like he and this this is a good
basketball team, but his son, like is not the best
player on the team, and he starts and he probably
turns the ball over twenty times and they can't win games,
and it's like every parent is like, bro, like can
you not see this? And he may not. He may
(07:24):
not see it because as a parent you don't see that.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Or he just wants him to keep getting better, so
he's like, you have to play more.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Well yeah, but dude, there's also all these other kids
that are trying to get better too, Like let's teach
all these kids. So yeah, it's frustrating, but it's so.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Funny how that works. That's the thing that continues sports, yep,
forever and ever.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
Okay, on the flip side of that, what is a
favorite skill of yours that you hope you pass on
to your kids. We kind of touched on this a
little bit. We're talking part one of weird traits you passed.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Say, yeah, but we're not talking about that now.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
The things you would like to pass on to them
From Chris in Massachusetts.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Chris, this is funny because my wife and I were
just talking about this. We were at the dinner table
and like anytime I'm like, hey, we're gonna have steaks
steaks tonight. The boys like, yes, We're having Dad's steak
and my wife is like, hey, boys, you should acknowledge this,
like this is cool. Like your dad like is a
(08:15):
good cook and you should learn from him how to
cook these things so that you can be a good cook.
And then my wife loves because I mean we have
four boys. Yeah, and my wife's her angle in conversation
all the time is like your girlfriends or your wives.
It's always like, don't do that, Like, don't do that?
Do you really want your girlfriend or wives to see
(08:35):
you do? Shout out? And one of the big ones
like learn to cook. Learn to cook. Your wife will
appreciate that.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Have any of them started learning to cook you?
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Our sixteen year old is really weirdly involved in cooking,
where like he's he got a cookbook for Christmas. I
guess it's like a viral TikTok oh there's so many
kids or something or a YouTube guy his name is
like Nick Joe Giovanni, I don't know anyway, and so
he watches him all the time. He got a cookbook.
He bought it, and so once a week he goes
(09:07):
to the grocery store and make something off the cookbook.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Like for the whole family or just for himself.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Well, he tries to do the whole family, but that's
too much. So sometimes he'll just do like everyone can
try it.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Got it, you know, it's like a happetizer.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
It's like noki, right, and like everyone can have like
five pieces of noki or something like that. And so
he loves it. He loves doing it, and I'll help
him with it, and mostly I'm just kind of there, like, bro,
speed it up, like we'll be here for two hours
if you don't hurry up, because he like he starts
cutting the potatoes nice and slow and evenly I'm like, nah,
let's go fast.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
He's got to watch some of those cooking competitions, just like, yes,
this is fast.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
You got five minutes because he's very slow and just
delicate and precise. Yeah, and it's like, man, you gotta
and even like just flipping like a burger. He like
don't want to get the oil on me or whatever.
It's like they're just get in there, like get the
spatula in there and whip it. Let's go.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
That's so funny.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
So yeah, I would say cooking and because my dad
passed that on to me. Yeah, he was an awesome person.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
That is a great trait to have.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
It's not one that is easily come by either. It's
you kind of have to really teach yourself that skill.
So great one to pass down.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
And like my wife said, your girlfriend's gonna love it.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
But yeah, they're all going to be a catch because
they know how to cook. You know how many times
I meet it, God and I'll be like, you don't
know how to cook. I'm like, I'm not making new
sandwiches for the rest of your life.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Yeah, your boyfriend not to cook?
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Yeah, in uh, vegetables and heat grills and stuff too.
So yeah, he does have that side. He's learning a
lot from my vegetarianism.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
It's an adjustment, yes.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Which I'm super lucky is his mom, I guess is
actually vegan, so that helps.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
He's kind of used to eating vegetarian. So when I
do weird things, it's like, no, this tastes great. I'll
eat anything that's awesome. Yeah. But and then yeah, good
at dishes too.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
That's another time my kids. I do the dishes.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Every time I see him do the dish on Yes,
he does it often. Yes.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Wendy from Richmond wants to know who helps your wife
when you're at home when you are gone and GE's
at home.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Oh, Wendy, that's a good question. No one, no one.
It's it's hard. It's hard. Like you know, other parents
will help with pick up, like will you pick so
and so up and drop them off? And they'll do
that kind of thing usually, like when there's games to
go to, which I hate missing their games. But if
there are games and we're on the road, somebody just
(11:31):
has to miss a game. The kids, one of the
kids has to miss a game.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Do they get mad about it?
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Like?
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Do the kids know?
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Usually it's the little one, the five year old. Okay,
he plays baseball. Usually his is the one that has
to get canceled. Yeah, but he doesn't know, like literally,
if you tell him there's no game this weekend, he'd
be like cool, Okay, no game.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
He's not at the point where he's remembering yet. No,
you're lucky.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Maybe two more years of.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
That, yeah maybe, and then there's gonna be a fight.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
Yeah, Okay, all right, gonna take a quick break. And
I got more questions for you. Kelly and Patty both
asked how your wife's art selling is going.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
She sold a piece? Did she sold a piece. Yeah,
I mean it's kind of So she's been working on
this for about year and a half, close to year
and a half.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
When you say working on it meaning putting together her
business or painting the different eyes.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Just painting. What she wanted to do was just paint
first and she'd finish a painting, put it aside, do
another painting, put it aside, and then once she had
ten which I guess an artist world, you have a collection. Okay,
I think I don't know. That's what she says. I
know nothing about that.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
I trust you both because I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Rather than that looks cool. That's my expertise in art.
That looks cool. Other than that, I don't know anything.
And so apparently she wanted to have a collection, and
so once that collection was done, then you can put
it up for sale and then go from there. But
what she didn't realize is that there's kind of a
price that goes along with it, and it's you know,
(13:03):
you set it like a dollar a square foot or whatever,
like seventy cents of square foot whatever. But all of
the pieces that she made were humongous. They're huge, they're
they're on the size of the kitchen table, like they're
so big, and so everything immediately is like three thousand dollars.
Two thousand dollars is maybe the cheapest, and so like
that's not easy to sell, and so I so what
(13:26):
she didn't realize was like, oh, man, like once I
start selling these, like I should have made smaller ones
so people can buy or prints. And I guess in
the art world again, like you can make prints of
your art and sell those for much much cheaper because
it's not the original art.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Got it.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
However, See this is all the stuff that I never knew.
And she tried, she tried to explain this to me.
But if you do that, you have to let the
owner of the original art and know that you were
going to do prints before you sell it. Because people
like original art. It's almost like collecting, almost like in
Bobby's world of memorabilia.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
You want to be the only one that has it.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
If you have the Tom Brady signed helmet, the one
of one that's worth so much, and like you love
having that because it's one of one. But if there
was two hundred fake ones just like that that they sold,
that now makes your one of one kind of like
not that special. Because it's been printed out a lot. Yeah,
(14:26):
so there's kind of that that she's kind of struggling with.
She's like, I don't know, should I do prints of
mine or I don't know? So she finally sold one.
She was so excited that she sold one. But now
she's like, I've got to make smaller ones so that
more people can afford these.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Well, maybe that's the trade off instead of doing prints,
she just makes some smaller ones are more affordable for
other people.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
But also she's put.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
In a lot of time and effort on those pieces,
and that's also a reason why art is so expensive, right,
And the ones that I don't understand where they wrote
like stop in black paint and it goes for fifty
million dollars.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
No I'm missing I know, but there are some people
in the world that are like, oh, I need that.
I need that in my living room. Like how many
times do I say stop? It means so much? It
means and this, it means so much to me. I
need it so cool. And she's also doing requests like
I guess it's called oh, there's a word for it,
(15:24):
I don't know, commission commission work. So like you can
message her and say I have a room that's kind
of like greenish and I want something with like green shades.
Then she can personally make something for for you. And
she's doing that right now for somebody, for somebody.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
So she sold a piece of her work and she's
working on a commission work.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Correct amazing, And she's also working on smaller ones that'll
probably be up for sale, I would say in the
next few weeks. Yeah, and two of them like are awesome.
I love it.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Have you been on any of them? Like, Hey, no,
we're keeping that. Let's staying here.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
There's one that she wants to keep, and she like,
I really really want to keep it because there's kind
of like there's kind of a hidden thing in it
where like she did it and she's like, this is cool,
Like I hid.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
This a little Easter egg in there.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Yeah, there are like Easter eggs in the painting. And
she's like, I kind of want to keep it for
that reason because it means this to me. But I
don't know, I don't know if she's gonna end up
keeping it out at.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
The right price. You know, she's part with it.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Yeah, but I'm so proud of her. She's she's doing
great and like it's it's a huge deal for me too,
because she's really been working on art for so long
since I met her. She's always done art, but she
never has been able to do art in this way
because if we have four kids, like but she also
is like, if I'm going to do this, I'm going
to make the time I have that those hours while
(16:43):
they're in school to do this, I'm going to do it.
So I'm proud of her for doing that.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
I'm so happy for her. She deserves that. Your wife's amazing.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Are you and your wife still working with the foster
care system from Susan in North Dakota.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
So we're not doing anything in particular. We do some
kind of like we have like some friends that that
are foster parents that have gone into fostering and so
we kind of help them a little bit. But no,
we're not doing anything big. I still want to speak
on fostering. It's kind of been something that I've been
wanting to do for a long time.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
You had that one event, did you not do any other?
Speaker 3 (17:17):
I had like three, I've had like three events.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
I just knew about the one because there was a
picture in the outfit that was the one that I.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Remember maybe four events. I mean, I'm racking up the events,
which is cool because my stories, my story is unique
in the way of like I didn't want to be
a foster parent, Like I this is the last thing
in the world that I thought I would ever ever be,
but I got into it, and the story of how
I got into it and why I decided to give
it a shot is really cool. And then just the
(17:44):
end of the story is cool because like, my life
has changed completely for the for the for the better. Yeah,
And whenever we're at church and I think may I
think now is is Foster Awareness Month? And so every
time they mentioned that kind of it's kind of like, yeah,
I did that, That's what I did.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
You got your boy Scout bats.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Yeah, it's like a badge of just like, yeah, I've
been part of that community. I know what that's like.
So when you hear people talking about fostering or opening
up their home to being a foster home, a lot
of people like, I don't know what that is. I
don't know what you're talking about. So I kind of
zone out, but not me anymore, Like, yeah, that was us, Yeah,
and those were my boys. Those were my boys, which
(18:23):
is crazy to even think that that's the situation they
were in because their life is so perfect right now
that it's hard to imagine that they were in that
situation at one point in their life.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
It's so true.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Well I love that. I hope you can speak some more,
but I.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Do want to speak more. And yeah, yeah, we should
get involved with some organizations a little more.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Well, you guys also have done a lot and now
you're on a different side of it, so it comes
in ebbs and flows what it looks like. All right,
we're going to take a quick break in just a
few more. Already, this is kind of an advice situation.
Hailey from Maine is getting married in eighteen days and
wants to know if you have any advice for her
going into this stage of.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Life a marriage.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Woo, that's a big one, I know.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
And don't you can't do the cheesy one where it's like,
what's going to be angry because like we all know
those at this point.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Yeah, you'll get a bit angry. It'll happen. Everything that
they say like don't do, it's gonna happen. Yeah, Like
I remember, I remember them telling us like don't say
words like always you always do this, I guarantee you,
Like last week I probably said that you always do this,
Like I just it just happens, you know. Marriage, Oh,
(19:42):
marriage is probably the hardest thing that you'll ever do
in your life. And I mean that in a good way,
because when you do last or get over some really
hard hard times in your marriage, it feels like you
just won the biggest fight of your life. Like you
just you're the champion of the world, the heavyweight champion
of the world. Because it's Morgan. Imagine it. You're sharing
(20:05):
everything that you have in your life with one person. Everything. Yeah, everything.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
That's a huge feet in my eyes.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Where you're used to just doing whatever you want. Like
my brother he's single. I think he'll be single for
the rest of his life because in his mind, he
wants to do whatever he wants. He's like, if I'm hungry,
I'm going to go eat. If I'm tired, I'm going
to sleep. If I want to go to a bar,
I'm going to go to a bar. Like that's how
he lives his life. When you get married, you can't
(20:32):
do that. It's just not like that I'm hungry, are
you hungry. Where do you want to go eat? Should
we go eat? Now? No, let's wait, Like it's just
it's just hard money. Money is such a weird thing.
The question of or how you were raised like I
always did this, I was raised this way. You were
(20:53):
raised differently? How do we make that? How do we
do that together? You know, just there's so many you
don't realize how different you are than someone until you
get married, Like you just even though we're the same,
like you can like you're dating your boyfriend now and
you're like, oh my gosh, we have so much in common.
We have this in common. We love movies, we love
these sports, we love blah blah whatever. But there is
(21:14):
something that you have not talked about yet that when
you get married, you're like, oh.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Crap, this this is what we did talk about.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
We didn't talk about this, and this is where we
think completely different about this. How are we going to
get through this? Or even how you deal with problems,
like there are so many things that you're gonna like
just go through, but when you get through them, it's
the coolest thing in the world. And to know that
you have someone on your side at all times, it's
(21:44):
pretty badass.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Oh that's great advice.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
It's really cool to feel like you've got someone on
your side.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
I think that's such great advice.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Yeah, thank you at.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Least for her to look forward to this.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
You're gonna love it. You're gonna love it.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
Oh, congratulations by the way, Hayley, I don't know who
what your husband's name is, but congratch relations to you
too or partner, whoever they may be.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Congratulations.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
And last one advice from for someone going into college
s B from Mississippi.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
S B.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Yeah, I don't know, it just says SB.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Man. This is a tough one because of like do
a parent, do I talk as a parent? Do I
talk as a and I'll.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Talk as somebody who went into college? Okay, does that work?
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Yes? As a parent? Take it seriously, Like I don't
know if you're supporting your way through college or if
your parents are paying through college, paying for college, or
if you got a scholarship. I don't know what that
situation is. But if your parents are paying for college,
it's a sacrifice. It is such a sacrifice for them
(22:46):
to get you to college, to get you to go
to college, for you to have this college experience. So
don't waste their money, like, take it seriously, go to class, learn,
stay busy, don't drink too much, don't party too much.
You can still have fun, but be responsible and enjoy
(23:09):
it because college is going to be the best time
of your life. College is going to be awesome.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
See I was, I was on the other end. I
agree with Eddie that you should work really hard.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
But you should work hard and you should play harder,
play harder.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Yes, you know, because.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
You don't get that time back in your life where
you are an adult.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
You are able to kind of make your own money
and spend your time how you want. You're learning what.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
Being an adult looks like. You don't really have massive responsibilities.
You have the responsibility of attending class, passing your classes,
and yeah, please stay uves. But like you don't when
you get out of college, you have so many responsibilities.
You have to pay for things that you never even
realized maybe depending on what your.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Life, depending on what that's circumstances.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Yeah, but this is the one time in your life
where you get to let lose and live life and
really enjoy what life has to offer. You get to
meet new people You're never going to meet people in
the way you're going to meet people in college.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
It's not like that anywhere else.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Everyone's in the same boat, like they're wanting to meet people.
You're wanting to meet people exactly in the real world.
Some people have people, some people want to meet people.
Some people don't want to meet people.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
No, No, there's no time in your life that is like
the time period of college. Not just college itself, but
time period of college. So experience everything. Say yes to
nearly everything. Nearly whoa nearly?
Speaker 3 (24:33):
WHOA easy on the drugs?
Speaker 1 (24:35):
I said nearly nearly for reason. Nearly everything.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
If somebody wants to you're going to take a weekend
trip somewhere close by, go do it.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
If somebody wants to go to dinner and try somewhere
or go do it.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
What about football games?
Speaker 4 (24:49):
Go to the games, go to every game, Go experience sports.
I didn't like sports, you know what, I was at
all the basketball games. I went to football games.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
I did a sorority. I never would have thought I'd
been in a sorority. I did it.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
And I'm so glad that I just said yes to
so many things, because now in my adult life, when
I ended that and I even ended college early in
three years. In doing that, I still am like I
had the best time. I lived it up and I
really got to enjoy that time period of my life.
Versus coming out of it, I'm like, dang, I regret
I didn't do that. I didn't only get two hours
(25:20):
of sleep that night, you know what I mean. Like,
you're not gonna look back and be like I slept
really good.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
You're really not.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
You're gonna look back and be like, dang, I was
hungover in that class and that was rough, but I
made it to class.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
But going to that party, yeah, you did both. That's
why I say you work hard and you party harder
or play harder.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Yeah your version. That was hard for me because like
I played hard, really hard and didn't work that hard,
And it was because it was hard for me to
balance the two. Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
It's a delicate balance.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
When you play hard, you want to play harder, and
then you play harder, you're like, you want to play
harder than that, and then after a while you're like,
oh crap, I haven't worked at all.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
It's so true. You have to balance and made a
little schedule.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
If you don't work hard, you will not be able
to do that next year. That's why I tell my
kids too, like, hey, you're gonna come home. You're gonna
you're gonna just you're gonna be sent home next year,
and it's all gonna be over. Like, so make sure
you continue to work hard.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
Your priority should always be passing your classes.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
But right under that passing your classes.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
A freaking adult and living your best life in college
it is one.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Time in your life this is ever gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
It is cool too to learn things in college, like
like even just like learning how to cook, you know,
learning how to do your own laundry, learning how to
like decorate your apartment or your you know, your dorm whatever,
just like all the cool things that adults did, like
you're wonder Like, oh my mom she always had this
like little ornament on the coffee table, Like ah, now
(26:44):
you can dress up your room however you want and
go Like.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
I was in a co ed dorm. Never would have
thought I'd live with in a co ed dorm. I
did it because I was like, this is a cool experience.
Who knows what's going to happen? Ye do things that
are outside of your comfort zone in a way that
is going to benefit you.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
That's how I say, don't do drugs.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
I like it.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Do things that are beneficial, like go eat in the
in the thing. If you think the food's gross, go
eat it. Who cares? Go experience life, So one time
in your life where you are not going to have
major responsibilities.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
College was awesome.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
It was so awesome.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
I would go back right now, we too.
