Ever caught yourself cracking up at your own jokes in a car full of kids? Same here. This episode kicks off with our brilliant idea to listen to Jerking Around on a family road trip, leading to nonstop laughs and our daughters seriously questioning us. From there, we dive into the Paige and Craig breakup saga, adding our own relationship mishaps for good measure.
Things get even juicier when we dish on the It Ends With Us movie drama—lawsuits, intimacy coordinators, and plenty of WTF moments. We throw in stories from our wild Palm Springs trip (where our gambling skills earned us both cheers and side-eyes) and sprinkle in some airline anxiety and a fiery debate on tongue kissing.
To wrap it up, we get real about co-parenting, work-life balance, and the unexpected magic of letting your partner take the reins at home—complete with plenty of laughs and a few heartfelt moments. Buckle up, this ride is equal parts chaos and comedy!

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Tisha finally listened to Jerking Around.
I know we were on a long drivehome and she listened.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
And she wanted to put it on and I was like, don't put
it on, I didn't want to listenat all.
And then I was like, no, don'tput it on.
And then she's like no, I'mputting it on, yeah, and we were
crying, laughing.
I was laughing so hard atourselves.
I know I was like I'm funny.
You know, like I knew I wasfunny.
I sound so conceited, it's not?
I swear, I tell her all thetime.
Let other people compliment yeahso can you tell me how funny I
(01:19):
am?
No, no, she was, I was, I waslike I am.
Did we listen to Stabler?
Speaker 1 (01:23):
yeah, yeah, my cousin um wrote back.
She's like when they say toomuch, like it is a thing.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Yeah, in the bedroom sometimes talk is cheap, yeah
you're thinking well, it's funnybecause we were listening to
the podcast and we had ourdaughters in the car and it's
like I'm, I'm on there and I'mtalking, oh, my daughter, she's
never gonna listen to this andshe's in the back seat.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
I was like, oh, so I played it because I am trying to
listen, to edit, and I don'talways have a lot of time to do
that, so when I drive far Ialways try to put them on, and
my daughter was in the car withme.
My 13 year old who's and wetalk about her all the time on
here.
14, 14, 14 15.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Did she just turn 15?
15.
Yeah, in November, yeah, 13.
That's awful.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
That's Hudson's 13.
Yeah, yeah.
So she was in the car and it isnaughty, but sometimes how
naughty we think it is in ourheads or on the clips, it's
really not that naughty.
So we were listening and shewas dying, laughing, loved it.
So then it got to Stabler and Iturned it off and she's like
why'd you turn it off?
I want to listen more.
So we put another episode on,but it was good that she liked
(02:31):
it.
So so many things to talk aboutfrom this week.
I want to touch on a little bitof the celebrity news that
Tisha doesn't care about.
But I really am invested Now.
I am so invested in Paige andCraig, which, if you don't know
who they are by now, you knowwho they are from the podcast.
Yeah, so Paige is from SummerHouse, winter House, craig is
from Southern Charm andsometimes Summer House and
(02:51):
Winter House they broke up.
We've talked about it a lot.
I was team Craig.
This week Austin from SouthernCharm was on Watch what Happens
Live and he said that Craig isreally hurt by the breakup and
the alleged cheating that wetalked about.
So Paige came out today andactually spoke against it, said
they've been broken up sinceNovember.
She never cheated emotionally,oh really, or physically, yeah,
(03:13):
but I'm like, but I know youdidn't cheat, but did you talk
to a guy that was engaged?
Yeah, like, I believe her thatshe didn't cheat, but she was
like I just think it was a quickmove on, well, and the girl
said that that did happen, yeah,but she didn't like address
that.
She said I didn't cheatemotionally or physically on
Craig, but that's not what thegirl was saying.
The girl was saying that youwere emotionally cheating.
He was emotionally cheating,right.
(03:35):
So I feel like it's true, but Ifeel like we left some things
out.
It was totally true and shewanted Craig to speak against
the cheating and he wouldn't.
So I'm like, eh, something'sweird, but is there too soon to
move on?
Because then I was thinkingabout it and I'm like I met Kyle
a month after my year and ahalf relationship and it was
cause she's talking and she'slike it's been two months.
I'm like that's not that long.
(03:56):
But then I'm like I met Kyle amonth later, right, and we were
engaged five months later.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Well, I don't think you break up the moment.
You know it's not right.
It kind of drags on.
That's what she's saying.
So by the time you break up, Ithink you're kind of already
partly moved on.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
That's what she's saying.
And she's saying everyone saysthat it was sudden out of
nowhere.
She's like only we know itwasn't.
So I think there was somebuildup Right, and I think she
was before that.
And we also said to counteractus that no girl breaks up out of
nowhere, but you do build thebreakup Right.
So I do think she was buildingthe breakup.
Then she left.
Then, by the time you break up.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
You're sure she was sure you're like I'm not.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
I'm done, so I do take it back.
I think it's just all of usseeing them move on so fast.
That was hard for me.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
What are you doing?
I feel like Ben broke up withsomeone and we started getting.
You feel like or that happened,that did happen.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Yeah, I feel like, or this is fact.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
I feel like this happened and it did how soon.
I don't know.
Have you told some months?
I no no, we're not telling somemonths no, we're not.
I do feel like it was very soon.
I don't know the exact, but itwas quick.
Yeah, yeah, so yeah, and yousparked yeah, so I don't know.
I think it's fine, if it's notright, it's not right, and then
you can meet the right person amonth later.
(05:08):
Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
So so, paige, I, if you ever do listen to our
podcast, I apologize.
But Justin Baldoni and BlakeLively, I can't get enough of
this story.
Yeah, I cannot get enough.
You don't care that much,clearly, but Candace Owens is
weighing in Some heavy hittersare weighing in.
Speaker 2 (05:25):

Speaker 1 (05:26):
Yeah, megan Fox is like no, no, megan Kelly.
Yeah, megan Kelly, megan Foxdoesn't care, I know.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
Speaking of this weekend and Tisha judging me we
went on a cheer trip Shocking.
We went to Palm Springs withour girls for a cheer trip and
there happened to be a casinowithin five minutes.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Five minutes walking from the competition.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
If you've been listening to us for a long time,
you know that Tisha makes funof my gambling all the time.
Right, you know that I'm agambler.
I love it.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
I love it so much and I do not love gambling.
I feel like it's the biggestwaste of money and I'm always
she gets so like focus in whereit's hard to pull her away when
she's winning and I'm like wegot to go, let's go.
She's called me a loser.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
She's like one more, two more.
She's called me a loser.
She's told me I had a gamblingproblem.
She's told my kids that I havea gambling problem.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
I didn't say you are a loser.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
I said it's loser, Yep.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
And she told Kyle, I have a gambling problem.
Let's just review some of thethings you've said to me.
And then now our kids werestanding in the freezing cold
and we were still spinning thatwheel.
I wasn't even gambling, I wassupporting you, yeah, so first
of all, if the people that havegirls and all-star cheer, you
drop your daughters and thenthere's like a two-hour gap,
that's not what I'm talkingabout oh, the first time.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Well, I almost missed them competing first, you're
right.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
I first almost missed them competing because I was on
a.
I was on a.
What is a heater?
Speaker 1 (11:24):
that's what Ben and Kyle call it heater, the machine
was hot.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
People were around me tell me what happened.
Okay, so we dropped the girls.
There's a two-hour gap beforewe have to be back to watch them
compete.
So, crystal, I'm like, okay, wecan go to the casino.
So I get a hundred dollars out,and like I'm only is that all
you got out?
Yes, I'm like I'm only getting$100.
So I try a couple machines.
Blah, I'm losing it.
I think I was down to $36.
That's it.
(11:47):
Yes, oh, it's so depressing.
You're like it's almost over.
Oh, it's almost over.
So I go to this machine andit's a Wheel of Fortune, but
it's Vanna.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Yes, it the live.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Vanna, yeah, and Vanna's looking great.
I'm like, how old is Vanna?
She looks better than I do, butlike she was an adult when I
was a kid.
So I'm like, what's Vanna doing?
And I want to.
She's a virtual Vanna, all thatshe's having.
She's so tiny and skinny andlike no wrinkles.
I'm like what is going on?
So, anyway, so I'm, I'mgambling and so I'm playing the
minimum and I start winning and,if you know me, I never play
(12:22):
like higher than the minimumbecause it goes so fast.
When you're playing threedollars a bet, it does.
So I always gamble the minimum.
Crystal always gambles high andI'm like, no, I start low,
gamble high.
Same thing.
That happened, yeah, but I waslike how do you gamble high?
Like that is so stressful to me.
So I'm gambling and I'm hittingthe low and I start winning and
I'm like this is crazy.
So like the machine is goingcrazy, it's every other spin is
(12:44):
winning.
Even it little amounts, fromlike two, two to three dollars
up to like twelve dollars.
Every other spin.
People are starting to likecongregate around me.
There was this one guy likePhoebe the lurker, like on
friends.
There was a lurker.
Yeah, I don't think he even hadany money, but he was watching
me, yeah yeah, he, yeah, he wasthere later too and I kept
looking at him and I was like,and Crystal does this thing too,
(13:04):
where she's talking to everyoneat the casino, and I'm like
weird.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
These people are weird.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
And then I was doing it with the weird people I'm not
judging them, wait, you weretalking to them like this face,
like you know when, again, likeI was trying to be modest, but
like it was like a humble brag.
When, again, like it's not me,it's the machine.
But I was like you know, andhe's like, and so I'm like.
(13:31):
So then I was like wait aminute.
So I'm getting so many spinsand it's only one prong.
So then I look and if you bethigher, get four prongs, which
means you win four times.
So I was like, okay, I'm goingto do it.
So now I've escalated, I'mbetting $3 a spin, which is like
an obscene amount of money, andI'm just winning, winning,
(13:51):
winning.
I'm looking around like where'smy friends?
She's gone.
And I'm like I've got to him.
You know, I'm sharing with therandoms that are congregating
and like the people that arethere midday.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
What did you say about Vanna?
Speaker 2 (14:03):
And Vanna, oh yeah.
So then every time I win, Vannacomes on the screen.
She's like keep going.
She like encourages youpersonally.
So you feel like it's like I'mdoing this, you and Vanna.
Yeah, and I'm like I'm doingthis.
It's not the machine, it's my.
I'm pushing the button.
She's like great job, like I amdoing a great job, vanna, thank
(14:24):
you, and I am a winner, vanna.
And then and so now it'sescalating where I'm like
winning so much.
I've now gone from $36 up to$460.
The highest you've ever done,the highest I've ever won.
And I am like on cloud nine.
Now I look at my phone and it'stime for us to go.
I'm like, oh, so I call Crystal.
I'm like, hey, five more months.
She's like, yeah, okay.
(14:44):
I'm like, okay, bye.
So I hang up, so I'm justwaiting.
I'm just waiting Vanna's onthere, and Vanna's like, yeah,
big winner.
And I'm looking at the guy yeah, you know, yeah, van is mine,
(15:07):

And so I'm just like it got socrazy.
So then now the girls are goingon in 10 minutes.
I'm like we gotta go.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
I know I'm like where is she?
Speaker 2 (15:15):
I'm waiting outside.
At one point I was betting fivedollars a spin, which is like
absurd.
So then I give like 200 of itback but I'm still up.
So then we cash out and we haveto run.
So I didn't even have time tolike cash out my ticket and get
cash.
So then we had to come back atthe end of the night and our
daughters are waiting outside inthe cold outside the convention
center.
We go go get the car because itwas parked at the casino.
(15:37):
So I told weird.
Oh.
So back to when we had to runto the competition Crystal's
already outside waiting for me,which I it's shocking.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
I'm usually the one doing that for you.
I was out of money and she'slike where are you?
Speaker 2 (15:49):
I'm like I'm waiting.
It's crazy.
Oh, I'm crying but I feel likeI happens, but I'm admitting it.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
So we go back to get the car at 9 o'clock To cash in
my ticket.
Okay, yeah, to get the car andto cash in her ticket.
It's 7 o'clock at night.
We have a four-hour drive.
I did encourage it.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
I said let's go see Vanna.
Well, I was telling her whatwas happening.
Yeah, vanna, I she, her armsare so buff.
I'm like Vanna's been doingthis on the side, you know, and
I'm gonna be doing that, vannaand I don't know.
So we go back and then I go I'mlike, oh, my machine is open my
same machine.
I'm like what's the chance it'sgonna happen again.
(16:29):
Yeah, we put it in.
It happens again.
Yeah, tell them who was there.
And the lurker was like thereand like, but why didn't he jump
on the machine?
I don't think he had any money,I think he's just a lurker, but
like I was fine with it, it waslike I had a friend.
So then you won more.
So then I won more.
Yeah, the girls are calling usand crystal was realizing what I
was talking about.
She's like you keep winning.
I'm like I know this is crazy.
Oh so the girls are calling usand there's no service in palm

Oh, I feel like Maddie doesthat.
She's like made a whole plan inher head and it happens and no
one's doing the plan.
But then it happens, it doeshappen.
I have that.
So.
I was like I was.
Yeah, so we were.
I was like tonight I'm goingout and I'm gonna kiss this guy,
and yeah.
And so I was like I'm gonna,I'm done with that ex-boyfriend
(19:57):
and I'm gonna go go kiss thisnew guy.
You don't get over someoneuntil you get under someone else
.
Yeah, and so I was doing that,which isn't true.
So I was like waiting aroundfor me to call me and this isn't
like the best story.
I'm not sounding like a greatchoice maker in this story.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
We weren't good choice makers.
That's what's great, yeah, so Iwas like 21.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
So I was waiting for the new guy to call me, but I
had already planned that he wasgoing to call me in my head and
we're going to go and we'regoing to do this and I'm going
to make the other guy jealous.
And so I was you're going tokiss, yeah.
And so it was like the night ofThanksgiving, so you know, like
that night you're done withyour family and you're bored.
So he called me and I was likeI knew he was going to call me.
And so he calls and he'm likedoing my mask down, I'm like, oh
(20:37):
, nothing, you know, I'm likejust laying around watching tv,
and I was like getting ready,you know, and.
And so it was just like I wastelling you it's not even that
funny.

you were telling me the storyand you're like he's gonna call
yeah, I was getting ready andthen he called yeah, he's like
what do you do?
Speaker 2 (20:58):

I think we did.
Yeah, did it work?
Did he get jealous?
I don't remember.
Do you think that happens?
Speaker 2 (21:14):
I think it's a toxic way of living.
Yeah, you're right, it doesn't.
It didn't get me anywhere.
Good, didn't end up with eitherof them, for good reason,
though.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Thank God, yeah, so anyways.
No, that was a dumb story, butit was just funny.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Oh, it was so funny.
I love when you tell stories,but you know when you're trying
to pretend like you're not doingsomething and they're like what
?
Speaker 2 (21:35):
are you doing oh?
Speaker 1 (21:36):
nothing.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Do you do that?
Well, I wax them Still.
Yeah, amy doesn't.
Oh, really, I love Amy, yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Yeah, yeah, it doesn't hurt.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
No, it's great, it's weird.
I think it's going to.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Okay, moving on, we had another story we were going
to tell that casino.
One got me really off track.
Oh, it was so funny.
Oh, I wanted to.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Well, with good reason.
What's been going on lately?
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Every other day there's a plane you were scared
to fly for the last 20 years andnow all of a sudden, for good
reason, because there was oneplane crash.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
There was three, two and then the fire plane.
Three plane incidents in oneweek.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Anyways, when we fly, it's really annoying.
She's looking out the windowlike a crazy person.
Tyler, I'll send a videobecause we need to show the
video.
Yeah, Like a crazy person, Likeshe thinks she's going to see
something and be able to savesomeone.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
I'd like to see what's going on.
If the ground's getting closer,I want to see it.
Yeah, you know it's reallyawkward, but anyways, the plane
crashing's a little creepy, oh,this morning.
So Ben went on a plane todayand so, oh gosh, I didn't even
think about that.
Yeah, so this morning.
That's why you asked, it's sorude.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
That is why.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Well, because the way my brain works, I am a worst
case scenario person.
Yeah, real positive.
I know I like to prepare myselffor worst case, so I'm not
shocked by the devastation.
So this morning Ben is going toAustin for work for a couple
days, so he's flying there, sohe's getting ready.
I'm like, hey, do you?
Didn't you get a new lifeinsurance policy recently?
(23:02):
I feel like you did, cause hetold me he did and I was like
why do you get a new one?
You told him to up it again.
Yeah, because I want so muchmoney that I'm like it's like so
whack.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
No, I want to be.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
I don't want to worry about money when I'm getting
over my husband.
So you made it's not like 20million, you know, I don't think
they would just do that.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
No.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Yeah, so anyways, a few million dollars is a lot.
Totally, kyle has 500,000.
Yeah, no I want so much thatI'm not worrying about working.
You know it's getting weird.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
If something happens to Ben you saw it here first I'm
all eat up the rat poison.
No, I'm just kidding, I lovethat I would never do that.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
He gets pneumonia.
Yeah, exactly the diddy youknow.
So, yeah, he got diddied.
No, so I'm like hey, I know yougot that new life insurance
policy.
I need you to send me thenumber because, again, ben takes
care of all the financesbecause that's his job, so I
don't know anything.
If something happened to him, Iwould be in the fetal position.
I wouldn't know how to doanything.
So I made him send me before,like, a list of all of our like
(24:03):
accounts and insurance policiesso that, like, when he's gone, I
can know what to do.
You're telling a story, so weird, so this morning I say, hey,
send me that new life insurancepolicy so if you die on the
plane today, like I know, I canget the money.
And he's like so upset I don'tknow why.
Yeah, I said it just like that.
Yeah, it's horrible.
And he looks at me and he goesgeez and it's like I'm like are
(24:25):

Like it's so dumb, like Ididn't mean, like I want you to
die.
I mean like this soundshorrible.
Yeah, it's all bad.
No, I mean like if somethinghappens to you because you're
going on a scary plane and I'mscared, I want to be able to
have this.
It.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
It wasn't showing him you're that scared.
It was like, hey, if you kickthe bucket today, I want to make
sure I'm paid out.
Yeah, that's how it sounds.
Well, that's what I meant.
Oh my gosh, this is horrible.
But like, obviously, I'd bedevastated.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
But I need to be logical.
And so he's like you could belike oh, I'm going to miss you.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Did you give him a tongue kiss on his way out?
Speaker 2 (25:03):
No, what A tongue on his way out.
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
You gotta step up the tongue kissing a little.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
I mean, do people like?
Speaker 1 (25:12):
tongue kissing.
Yeah, I don't.
Who wouldn't?
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Me, I don't know, it seems like a waste of time.
Let's get to it, you know, Iknow, but you don't like tongue
anything.
What do you mean?
Tongue anything?
Oh yeah, I'm just not like,let's get it going, you know.
Well, then it's over.
Yeah, I'm just not like, let'sget it going, you know.
Well, then it's over.
I know I'm fine with that.
No Dragging it out, you know Isound like a horrible person.
(25:39):
We got to move on.
No, okay, let's move on.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
People are going to hate me.
Speaking of tongues, what theheck happened with Kanye West
and his wife on the red carpet?
It's sad.
There was like three of themthat were naked Rihanna and her.
It wasn't good.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
The whole Grammys.
I saw this thing that someonesaid Grammys like 20 years ago
and they were all in like nicedresses, and then Grammys today
and the guy had a castle on hisface.
He did Will Smith's son.
Oh it's weird.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Well, what's happened to him is sad, yeah, like why
are we dressing like this?
Speaker 2 (26:09):
And then it's an award show.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Why don't you just dress nice, it's just weird.
Just weird.
I didn't watch it, Did you?
No?
I don't think anybody watchesit, do you?
No?
I just see like I'm scrollingon Instagram.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
It's sad, though.
She has a great body though.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
It's like the best body.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
The best body ever places, but I've seen her naked
now.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Like it's on Instagram that she's naked.
They didn't even blur it outfor a long time and you don't
feel good as a girl.
No, I felt so bad for her.
Yeah, I know it's sad.
I felt really bad.
Our family was sending it onthe group chat this morning Not
my immediate family, my olderfamily yeah, like sister and
brother-in-laws.
It was bad.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
It's sad though for her I know it's so Instagram.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
I don't want her seeing a naked girl.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
I mean, I think there's a lot of naked people on
Instagram in general.
I've never seen that naked.
Yeah, have you.
I've seen some weird things onInstagram.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Nipples Like full nipples.
What's your feed like?
I know.
Now I'm like why am I seeingthese naked women on?
Speaker 2 (27:02):
my algorithm, I don't see anybody naked.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Yeah, that is a little weird.
Let that be passed.
Yeah, all right, moving on withnaked people.
That is another thing thathappened.
That was awful.
The Grammys are awful, but yousaid, you didn't even think that
was.
Kanye, I don't think it's.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Kanye yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Well, I saw a clip that said if I'm acting
different, no, it's not me.
And it was when he was in hisJesus era, because he went from
Jesus era to this.
And it's Wes posted that samenight pictures of their parents
together.
Oh sad, it was so sad.
Speaking of you didn't watchchurch this week, I take it it
was about divorce.
(27:37):
It was actually so interesting,oh my gosh.
And he talked about Ashley, ourpastor at CCV.
He talked about how, when hisparents got divorced, his
parents got divorced right afterhe got married.
So he was very old and he grewup in a really religious family.
Mm-hmm so he was very old and hegrew up in a really religious
family and he talked about itwas the hardest thing still he's
ever been through and howpainful divorce is.
Yeah, because God created us tobe one bond.
(27:57):
It was like so good, you wouldlike it because it's very like
Bible, like the two men becomeone flesh.
Yeah, and like why you're one.
And then he had this depictionof this construction paper that
was like you know the glue youlike, you like paint on.
Remember the old school Used tosniff it?
Yeah, did you?
No, I didn't.
I love that song.
No, anyways, the adhesive likeyou glue two pieces of like
(28:19):
cardboard or construction papertogether and he used that as the
two people becoming one.
And then he on in his sermon hepulled it apart and he's like,
even though these two areseparating, it was they were
mangled.
Yeah, because they were one andhe pulled them apart and they
weren't meant to be pulled apart, right?
So he's like this is divorce.
He's like it's brutal.
You're not the same peopleanymore.
(28:39):
It tears you apart, right, it'stwo pieces that are left worse
than when they started, like ifyou took the two pieces that
were full.
Yeah, he's saying that I don't.
Divorce isn't of me because itruins something that I united.
It's not supposed to be broken,right.
So when it is broken, it's sopainful, right.
To the two people that havebeen divorced, to the kids, it's
(29:01):
so painful, yeah.
And he did talk about there'sextenuating circumstances where
a divorce is the only option,and he talked to actually men
that are hearing this and helike looked him in the eye and
he's like if you're abusing yourwife, I'm not talking to you.
He's like you're disgustingbecause you're trying to
manipulate her to stay, you know, using this sermon.
It was really good and he saidlike you know, adultery, those
things, if the other personisn't willing to change and
(29:23):
isn't willing to unify, he'slike you can't stay right.
But if you're both willing tolike, work together after
adultery and forgive, then itstill can create that bond,
because you're going back to Godand God will make that bond
pure again.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Which we both know, people that have done that and
are better off for stayingthrough it, but they were both
willing to really be sorry andforgive and not make it again.
It's not like over and over.
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
And like I know of people that they didn't weren't
even that sorry, it's like howcan you say, yeah, you know.
So it was just like so good.
And he talked about people thatare going through it or
thinking, or on their way out,and how you know it's better to
go back to God, go back tofundamentals, and then God can
change your marriage, not likeyou pointing faults at each
other.
Right, it was really good.
(30:07):
Yeah, it was was really good.
Yeah, it was interesting towatch it.
We watched it last night in bedand then we watched night agent
.
Yeah, so good, I'm watchingyounger.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Have you ever watched younger?
No, oh, it's so good.
It's darren star.
Yeah, who's like nine or two?
No, no sex in the city.
Yeah, aaron spelling was nineor two, yeah, yeah sex in the
city and emily in paris.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
oh yeah, I loved aaron star and something else
that I really love.
It's so cute, cute, they're30-minute episodes.
Yeah, she's trying to be 22.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Well, ben's gone for the next few nights, so I'm
going to watch like a show thatwe don't watch together.
Yeah, it's really cute.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
I've been watching that.
It's good.
Yeah, yeah, that's happening.
What else in life, what else doyou want to talk about?
You're down below.
No, no, you know.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Yeah, no, the down below there's none.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
You said you were going in and no For the landing
strip.
No.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Because for the pilots, no, the pilots, yeah,
maybe don't keep the planes inthe air.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
you know, I don't know.
It's scary, though the pilotsAnything weird and we have to
fly.
I'm not fine, but what's hegoing to do?
I don't think you're thatconcerned.
You're more concerned about youflying to Dallas than you are,
ben, on the flight today.
True.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Because I don't want to experience the falling.
Yeah, I agree, I'm more scaredof that feeling If we blew up in
the air and I died.
I'm not scared of dying as muchas that feeling.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
That's the only feeling I don't want.
Oh, I remembered what I wantedto talk was quitting.
I was really quitting that time.
I'm not quitting again Now.
We're back in it, going fullfledged, and so I went through
the period of being very present, which I loved.
It was really healing for mewith my dad.
But, um, that that period is ischanged a little bit.
We're back to busy and I.
(31:43):
It's weird how when I wasn'tthat busy, I had peace, I could
sleep through the night like itwas crazy, and now I don't have
that peace.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Are you back to not sleeping?
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Yeah, I'm not sleeping, great Like I can't
wait to go to bed for the mentalbreak you know?
Speaker 2 (31:57):
But I think of things I need to do in the middle of
the night.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
So now that I'm going back, into this busy season of,
like my mind, being preoccupied, my phone ringing all the time.
It's weird to know how can youmanage that and still have peace
.
I don't know if you know how.
I don't know if listeners knowhow.
I don't know if this is abattle for anyone else, because
I find that I'm way shorter withpeople that I do care about
(32:21):
because of the juggling in myhead and, like you, never
listened to me.
When I'm talking to you andyou're thinking of something
else, right, you're not there.
So I think, like you said, youget annoyed at your kids
sometimes when you're on thecomputer, right, and you're
raging and yelling, but maybeit's something you wouldn't have
been mad at if you wouldn'thave been stressed, right?
Speaker 2 (32:37):
well, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
I don't know how to balance it, I'm struggling, so
yeah, I have been doing my walksforever, since 75 hard, yeah,
and I haven't been doing that asmuch because the day's starting
so crazy, right.
So I do think that's the thingthat you get grounded first and
you get your priorities in orderand like more I'm taking
control of my day than my day'shappening to me Feels like it's
twisting, like my day'shappening to me again and I'm
(32:59):
not in control of it.
I'm kind of like putting outfires all day.
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Well, I feel like in our line of work it's hard to
have okay, I'm gonna work thesehours to these hours.
It's a very like 24-7.
Things come up job and peopleneed you 24-7.
So that's where I struggle withmaybe having a boundary, yeah,
and then if I'm okay, I'm notgonna work right now, but I see
(33:24):
something come up.
Not dealing with it wouldstress me out more because I'd
be thinking of it the whole time.
So it's almost better to justdeal with it.
But then I do feel like whenthe kids get, I'm still working
and I'd love to be able to givethem To be done by them.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Yes, that's actually not a bad goal.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Do you?
Speaker 1 (33:39):
know what I mean.
Yeah, I think, because it's notan eight to five, it's hard.
I think being commission basedis hard as well, so you have to
like, you have to go when itcomes because it might not come
again.
But then I think sometimes Ineed to be more trusting that it
will come again and it will beconsistent, right?
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Because I think I don't know, it's just hard All
of a sudden you'll get fiveleads or calls I don't even like
the word lead of people thatneed help and I can't like yeah,
it's not even about thecommission, it's about if I
don't help someone right now,they're going to feel like I
don't want to like not get backto someone, because then they
feel like I'm not representingthem and helping them.
(34:15):
It's just like a lot.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
I'm not very motivated by money either but I
it's weird because sometimes Ithink it's always so tempting to
see um, the rise right, if Iwork so much, I can get here.
If I work hard at work, I canget this promotion.
If I do this, I can get that.
And I was talking to a friendof mine who is a jerky and she
was listening to the podcastabout me being more present and
how I did have that and I stilldo sorry about the chair moving,
(34:42):
but I still do have peace in alot more areas than I did before
.
I took that mental break of likenot being busy and not really
working or taking clients andshe said it was really relatable
because she has three youngkids and one older daughter
that's a sophomore in highschool and she's like, as I'm
looking at, her time ending andI have three more opportunities
to be more present than I waswith my first.
I'm kind of reevaluating that,but it's so crazy.
(35:02):
In the same time she just got ajob offer that's like a triple
to her income.
Double, an easy double.
And it's a lot of money, and soshe's like it's weird that God's
taking me in the divide of bothseasons.
I've never wanted to stay homemore and I've never gotten an
opportunity for a higher payingjob.
Right, that's so hard to.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
So, hard.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
But I'm like, isn't that ironic If you look from the
outside, god's pulling you tostay home and the devil's coming
at you.
The best way possible Withmoney?
Yeah, with, look at it, I meanthe job is like $300,000.
That's a huge opportunity.
But I always told, I told heryou have to give to get, I'm all
well, I'll take her job.
No, I'm just kidding, you areprobably thinking that no, but I
(35:41):
think for you, money issecurity of something you didn't
have when you were younger.
So like you crave that and Ithink maybe there's that for a
lot of people.
But I always think when yougive and you get, so you might
be able to be given thisopportunity, like you might be
getting this opportunity, butyou're going to give up a lot to
get there Right.
And I think that's sometimessomething we forget.
When we take on more and I'mthe queen of it I take on a lot
(36:03):
of things, you know, likedifferent hats, different
opportunities, and I forget thatwhen I take on something, I'm
also giving away something elseGiving away being nice to Kyle
when he gets home.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Yeah, saying yes to that is saying no to your family
, yes.
Well, it's weird because whenthe kids were younger, I stayed
home and I was Joe present mom,like never stressed about money,
whatever, or never stressedabout work.
I was just present mom 24-7.
And I loved that.
And now I work, and I lovedthat, and now I work and I'm
(36:34):
super busy and I feel like I Ifelt like I did it.
I stayed at home cause theywere little and now they're in
school and they're busy and theyhave their own things going on
and I'm feeling like, okay, nowI can work.
But as I'm finding out, I'mthinking these are maybe the
moments I need to be.
I should have stayed home now,yeah, and I should have worked
(36:56):
then, because now I feel likethey need me in a different way.
They do and it's crazy, it'sjust hard, because I I always
think I'm.
I'm like am I working too much?
It's just such a hard thing forme too.
I always told parents and Inever understood when you were
stressed about that.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
You know, gosh, all these things are coming around
to bite me in the butt.
Crystal does this thing wherewhen it happens to her she
doesn't care or whatever.
No, it's just normal.
Everybody does that.
We always judge until ithappens to us, and then we're
like oh, now I know what itfeels like, but when I was a
teacher, encourage them.
No, now is when they need youthe most.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
But it doesn't feel like they need you because,
because they're gone all day.
And you're not doing the littlethings that are needed.
It's a need.
I got a play date.
It's like an emotional need,yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
Like when they're available to talk to me in the
five minutes I get.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
I need to be okay with not getting back to the the
work people right away.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
Maybe we're having an epiphany.
Maybe we try to button upeverything by five o'clock yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
Literally.
And then let the fires or likethree, 30, and then I can come
back when they're practice yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
Yeah, yeah, that's true, I think in.
I think the car rides are myfavorite and those are going to
go away soon because they'll bedriving, but there's only so
much time they'll really talk tome.
Yesterday I had such a crazyday that when I got home and
they all got home it was one ofthose nights that everyone was
home, and I hate when everyone'sin their rooms or on their
phone that I was like I don'tcare, I want to be in the bath
(38:30):
and I want to see Kyle because Ihaven't seen him.
And I always battle that Like Idon't see my kids and Kyle.
When we're out of town with oneof our kids and I get home I
feel like they all needattention.
But then I've been trying to goto my husband first, because I
feel like you got to pour at thetop and then it'll trickle down
Well.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
at the end of the day , that will make them happier
than you being there for them.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
Yeah, we had the funniest thing though Kyle.
Kyle's the strict one, myhusband, and he's the no guy.
He says no to everything.
That was what I said I wantedfrom him.
Um, in our marriage churchthing, but it's still getting no
.
But, um, maybe rewatch that one, maybe I try that I'm going to
be against the window.
Yeah, exactly yeah, but he tookthe kids and he had the best
(39:11):
weekend and so it was awesome.
Because sometimes when we'retogether and he's not being dad
and I think some moms, some momscan be controlling where they
don't relinquish control whenthe dad's there, or dads can be
controlling and they don'trelinquish control, we think we
need to micromanage the otherpartner and I think, like we've
been gone so much that I'm likeI don't know what goes on when
I'm not there for the weekend.
And he's just did such a goodjob.
(39:33):
Yeah, like he did take Maddieto In-N-Out after, pick her up,
took all the girls teepeeinglike things.
If I was home he would beyelling at me, right, but
because it's just him, he's likebeing such a more present,
happy dad.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
Well, he's like me, I like to in things.
If I'm not included, I'm likethat's stupid.
So I think sometimes you'retrying to help by handling it
all.
Yeah, and you're, you'relooking from him, you're like,
oh, I'll handle this, I don'twant to bother him.
But he's actually happier whenhe is bothered, yeah, and
involved, because then he's waymore, he knows what's going on,
(40:06):
he's in the loop and he likes tobe fun too you know, yeah, he's
so fun, and he isn't always,but when he's not in the loop,
he just sees you running raggedand he's like what are you doing
?
we're not going deep in right.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
I said no, there's toilet paper all over our garage
.
Yeah, I'm like how much did youbuy?
Like I would have been in somuch trouble?
Speaker 2 (40:20):
oh, totally but that's why I think that's where
you need to kind of get him in.
You know you gotta include himmore maybe I know, but if I
include me, just says no.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
No, well, he didn't this weekend, I know, because it
was just him.
I think I need to leave more.
Yeah, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
Or just say I can't do this.
I need you to do this, even ifyou can.
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
Yeah, yeah, all the things, yeah, and tongue kiss.
Why don't you work on tonguekissing?
I'll work on including Jesus.
Stop it, alright, let's sum uphere so gross.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
It's not Not gross, but like the tongue out right
now, it's just a lot for I'mpicturing it.
I'm picturing it.
Speaker 1 (40:57):

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Tisha finally listened to Jerking Around.
I know we were on a long drivehome and she listened.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
And she wanted to put it on and I was like, don't put
it on, I didn't want to listenat all.
And then I was like, no, don'tput it on.
And then she's like no, I'mputting it on, yeah, and we were
crying, laughing.
I was laughing so hard atourselves.
I know I was like I'm funny.
You know, like I knew I wasfunny.
I sound so conceited, it's not?
I swear, I tell her all thetime.
Let other people compliment yeahso can you tell me how funny I
(01:19):
am?
No, no, she was, I was, I waslike I am.
Did we listen to Stabler?
Speaker 1 (01:23):
yeah, yeah, my cousin um wrote back.
She's like when they say toomuch, like it is a thing.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Yeah, in the bedroom sometimes talk is cheap, yeah
you're thinking well, it's funnybecause we were listening to
the podcast and we had ourdaughters in the car and it's
like I'm, I'm on there and I'mtalking, oh, my daughter, she's
never gonna listen to this andshe's in the back seat.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
I was like, oh, so I played it because I am trying to
listen, to edit, and I don'talways have a lot of time to do
that, so when I drive far Ialways try to put them on, and
my daughter was in the car withme.
My 13 year old who's and wetalk about her all the time on
here.
14, 14, 14 15.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Did she just turn 15?
15.
Yeah, in November, yeah, 13.
That's awful.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
That's Hudson's 13.
Yeah, yeah.
So she was in the car and it isnaughty, but sometimes how
naughty we think it is in ourheads or on the clips, it's
really not that naughty.
So we were listening and shewas dying, laughing, loved it.
So then it got to Stabler and Iturned it off and she's like
why'd you turn it off?
I want to listen more.
So we put another episode on,but it was good that she liked
(02:31):
it.
So so many things to talk aboutfrom this week.
I want to touch on a little bitof the celebrity news that
Tisha doesn't care about.
But I really am invested Now.
I am so invested in Paige andCraig, which, if you don't know
who they are by now, you knowwho they are from the podcast.
Yeah, so Paige is from SummerHouse, winter House, craig is
from Southern Charm andsometimes Summer House and
(02:51):
Winter House they broke up.
We've talked about it a lot.
I was team Craig.
This week Austin from SouthernCharm was on Watch what Happens
Live and he said that Craig isreally hurt by the breakup and
the alleged cheating that wetalked about.
So Paige came out today andactually spoke against it, said
they've been broken up sinceNovember.
She never cheated emotionally,oh really, or physically, yeah,
(03:13):
but I'm like, but I know youdidn't cheat, but did you talk
to a guy that was engaged?
Yeah, like, I believe her thatshe didn't cheat, but she was
like I just think it was a quickmove on, well, and the girl
said that that did happen, yeah,but she didn't like address
that.
She said I didn't cheatemotionally or physically on
Craig, but that's not what thegirl was saying.
The girl was saying that youwere emotionally cheating.
He was emotionally cheating,right.
(03:35):
So I feel like it's true, but Ifeel like we left some things
out.
It was totally true and shewanted Craig to speak against
the cheating and he wouldn't.
So I'm like, eh, something'sweird, but is there too soon to
move on?
Because then I was thinkingabout it and I'm like I met Kyle
a month after my year and ahalf relationship and it was
cause she's talking and she'slike it's been two months.
I'm like that's not that long.
(03:56):
But then I'm like I met Kyle amonth later, right, and we were
engaged five months later.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Well, I don't think you break up the moment.
You know it's not right.
It kind of drags on.
That's what she's saying.
So by the time you break up, Ithink you're kind of already
partly moved on.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
That's what she's saying.
And she's saying everyone saysthat it was sudden out of
nowhere.
She's like only we know itwasn't.
So I think there was somebuildup Right, and I think she
was before that.
And we also said to counteractus that no girl breaks up out of
nowhere, but you do build thebreakup Right.
So I do think she was buildingthe breakup.
Then she left.
Then, by the time you break up.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
You're sure she was sure you're like I'm not.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
I'm done, so I do take it back.
I think it's just all of usseeing them move on so fast.
That was hard for me.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
What are you doing?
I feel like Ben broke up withsomeone and we started getting.
You feel like or that happened,that did happen.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Yeah, I feel like, or this is fact.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
I feel like this happened and it did how soon.
I don't know.
Have you told some months?
I no no, we're not telling somemonths no, we're not.
I do feel like it was very soon.
I don't know the exact, but itwas quick.
Yeah, yeah, so yeah, and yousparked yeah, so I don't know.
I think it's fine, if it's notright, it's not right, and then
you can meet the right person amonth later.
(05:08):
Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
So so, paige, I, if you ever do listen to our
podcast, I apologize.
But Justin Baldoni and BlakeLively, I can't get enough of
this story.
Yeah, I cannot get enough.
You don't care that much,clearly, but Candace Owens is
weighing in Some heavy hittersare weighing in.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
People care.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Yeah, megan Fox is like no, no, megan Kelly.
Yeah, megan Kelly, megan Foxdoesn't care, I know.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
I think she's got her own things going on, you know.
Oh, megan Fox, I know.

Yeah, they met at the penthouse.
Speaker 1 (09:53):

So anyways, Justin Baldoni,we're still on your team.
Actually, Tisha really likes it.
What?
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Him.
No, I was like no, atlas issuper cute.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Speaking of this weekend and Tisha judging me we
went on a cheer trip Shocking.
We went to Palm Springs withour girls for a cheer trip and
there happened to be a casinowithin five minutes.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Five minutes walking from the competition.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
If you've been listening to us for a long time,
you know that Tisha makes funof my gambling all the time.
Right, you know that I'm agambler.
I love it.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
I love it so much and I do not love gambling.
I feel like it's the biggestwaste of money and I'm always
she gets so like focus in whereit's hard to pull her away when
she's winning and I'm like wegot to go, let's go.
She's called me a loser.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
She's like one more, two more.
She's called me a loser.
She's told me I had a gamblingproblem.
She's told my kids that I havea gambling problem.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
I didn't say you are a loser.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
I said it's loser, Yep.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
And she told Kyle, I have a gambling problem.
Let's just review some of thethings you've said to me.
And then now our kids werestanding in the freezing cold
and we were still spinning thatwheel.
I wasn't even gambling, I wassupporting you, yeah, so first
of all, if the people that havegirls and all-star cheer, you
drop your daughters and thenthere's like a two-hour gap,
that's not what I'm talkingabout oh, the first time.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Well, I almost missed them competing first, you're
right.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
I first almost missed them competing because I was on
a.
I was on a.
What is a heater?
Speaker 1 (11:24):
that's what Ben and Kyle call it heater, the machine
was hot.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
People were around me tell me what happened.
Okay, so we dropped the girls.
There's a two-hour gap beforewe have to be back to watch them
compete.
So, crystal, I'm like, okay, wecan go to the casino.
So I get a hundred dollars out,and like I'm only is that all
you got out?
Yes, I'm like I'm only getting$100.
So I try a couple machines.
Blah, I'm losing it.
I think I was down to $36.
That's it.
(11:47):
Yes, oh, it's so depressing.
You're like it's almost over.
Oh, it's almost over.
So I go to this machine andit's a Wheel of Fortune, but
it's Vanna.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Yes, it the live.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Vanna, yeah, and Vanna's looking great.
I'm like, how old is Vanna?
She looks better than I do, butlike she was an adult when I
was a kid.
So I'm like, what's Vanna doing?
And I want to.
She's a virtual Vanna, all thatshe's having.
She's so tiny and skinny andlike no wrinkles.
I'm like what is going on?
So, anyway, so I'm, I'mgambling and so I'm playing the
minimum and I start winning and,if you know me, I never play
(12:22):
like higher than the minimumbecause it goes so fast.
When you're playing threedollars a bet, it does.
So I always gamble the minimum.
Crystal always gambles high andI'm like, no, I start low,
gamble high.
Same thing.
That happened, yeah, but I waslike how do you gamble high?
Like that is so stressful to me.
So I'm gambling and I'm hittingthe low and I start winning and
I'm like this is crazy.
So like the machine is goingcrazy, it's every other spin is
(12:44):
winning.
Even it little amounts, fromlike two, two to three dollars
up to like twelve dollars.
Every other spin.
People are starting to likecongregate around me.
There was this one guy likePhoebe the lurker, like on
friends.
There was a lurker.
Yeah, I don't think he even hadany money, but he was watching
me, yeah yeah, he, yeah, he wasthere later too and I kept
looking at him and I was like,and Crystal does this thing too,
(13:04):
where she's talking to everyoneat the casino, and I'm like
weird.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
These people are weird.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
And then I was doing it with the weird people I'm not
judging them, wait, you weretalking to them like this face,
like you know when, again, likeI was trying to be modest, but
like it was like a humble brag.
When, again, like it's not me,it's the machine.
But I was like you know, andhe's like, and so I'm like.
(13:31):
So then I was like wait aminute.
So I'm getting so many spinsand it's only one prong.
So then I look and if you bethigher, get four prongs, which
means you win four times.
So I was like, okay, I'm goingto do it.
So now I've escalated, I'mbetting $3 a spin, which is like
an obscene amount of money, andI'm just winning, winning,
(13:51):
winning.
I'm looking around like where'smy friends?
She's gone.
And I'm like I've got to him.
You know, I'm sharing with therandoms that are congregating
and like the people that arethere midday.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
What did you say about Vanna?
Speaker 2 (14:03):
And Vanna, oh yeah.
So then every time I win, Vannacomes on the screen.
She's like keep going.
She like encourages youpersonally.
So you feel like it's like I'mdoing this, you and Vanna.
Yeah, and I'm like I'm doingthis.
It's not the machine, it's my.
I'm pushing the button.
She's like great job, like I amdoing a great job, vanna, thank
(14:24):
you, and I am a winner, vanna.
And then and so now it'sescalating where I'm like
winning so much.
I've now gone from $36 up to$460.
The highest you've ever done,the highest I've ever won.
And I am like on cloud nine.
Now I look at my phone and it'stime for us to go.
I'm like, oh, so I call Crystal.
I'm like, hey, five more months.
She's like, yeah, okay.
(14:44):
I'm like, okay, bye.
So I hang up, so I'm justwaiting.
I'm just waiting Vanna's onthere, and Vanna's like, yeah,
big winner.
And I'm looking at the guy yeah, you know, yeah, van is mine,
(15:07):
you know.
And so I'm just like it got socrazy.
So then now the girls are goingon in 10 minutes.
I'm like we gotta go.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
I know I'm like where is she?
Speaker 2 (15:15):
I'm waiting outside.
At one point I was betting fivedollars a spin, which is like
absurd.
So then I give like 200 of itback but I'm still up.
So then we cash out and we haveto run.
So I didn't even have time tolike cash out my ticket and get
cash.
So then we had to come back atthe end of the night and our
daughters are waiting outside inthe cold outside the convention
center.
We go go get the car because itwas parked at the casino.
(15:37):
So I told weird.
Oh.
So back to when we had to runto the competition Crystal's
already outside waiting for me,which I it's shocking.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
I'm usually the one doing that for you.
I was out of money and she'slike where are you?
Speaker 2 (15:49):
I'm like I'm waiting.
It's crazy.
Oh, I'm crying but I feel likeI happens, but I'm admitting it.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
So we go back to get the car at 9 o'clock To cash in
my ticket.
Okay, yeah, to get the car andto cash in her ticket.
It's 7 o'clock at night.
We have a four-hour drive.
I did encourage it.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
I said let's go see Vanna.
Well, I was telling her whatwas happening.
Yeah, vanna, I she, her armsare so buff.
I'm like Vanna's been doingthis on the side, you know, and
I'm gonna be doing that, vannaand I don't know.
So we go back and then I go I'mlike, oh, my machine is open my
same machine.
I'm like what's the chance it'sgonna happen again.
(16:29):
Yeah, we put it in.
It happens again.
Yeah, tell them who was there.
And the lurker was like thereand like, but why didn't he jump
on the machine?
I don't think he had any money,I think he's just a lurker, but
like I was fine with it, it waslike I had a friend.
So then you won more.
So then I won more.
Yeah, the girls are calling usand crystal was realizing what I
was talking about.
She's like you keep winning.
I'm like I know this is crazy.
Oh so the girls are calling usand there's no service in palm
(16:52):
springs, which why is there?
Speaker 1 (16:53):
yeah, there's no service in all palm springs.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
so I'm like, oh yeah.
And then they don't know what'shappening.
They're like are you safe?
I'm like, shut up, hit it again.
You know, I'm like God, thesekids are annoying.
You know I'm just gambling.
But I see, I now see, because Iused to harshly judge people
that like lose their lifesavings.
And now you get it.
I get it Because I get it, it'ssuch a high she goes.
(17:21):
I, oh, and I kept thinking I wasgoing to win the grand and I
was going to take Crystal and Ion a cruise, which that's like
lesbian, because why am I notlike paying something off?
Or like, are they thinking ofBen?
Or are they thinking of BenLike Ben and I are going to do?
I'm taking Mommy on a cruise.

Oh my God, you got to tell theeyelashes story.
Now that we're in story time, Ilove when Tisha tells stories.
I used to make her tell storiesevery day, just so I could
laugh every day, just so I couldlaugh and she'd start telling
the story wrong.
Yeah, and it bugs her.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Because it bugs me, and then I'd go.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
no, no, you're telling it wrong, just so she'd
do that.
Yeah, now I want to do more.

So, anyways, you were likehanging out with some new people
and you were maybe hooking upwith one of them, yes, and then

or something.
Yeah, because weren't theyfriends?
No, but he knew that I washanging out with someone else.
New group of friends yes, yeah,so then you were hoping to be.

Oh, I feel like Maddie doesthat.
She's like made a whole plan inher head and it happens and no

But then it happens, it doeshappen.
I have that.
So.
I was like I was.
Yeah, so we were.
I was like tonight I'm goingout and I'm gonna kiss this guy,
and yeah.
And so I was like I'm gonna,I'm done with that ex-boyfriend
(19:57):
and I'm gonna go go kiss thisnew guy.
You don't get over someoneuntil you get under someone else
.
Yeah, and so I was doing that,which isn't true.
So I was like waiting aroundfor me to call me and this isn't
like the best story.
I'm not sounding like a greatchoice maker in this story.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
We weren't good choice makers.
That's what's great, yeah, so Iwas like 21.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
So I was waiting for the new guy to call me, but I
had already planned that he wasgoing to call me in my head and
we're going to go and we'regoing to do this and I'm going
to make the other guy jealous.
And so I was you're going tokiss, yeah.
And so it was like the night ofThanksgiving, so you know, like
that night you're done withyour family and you're bored.
So he called me and I was likeI knew he was going to call me.
And so he calls and he'm likedoing my mask down, I'm like, oh
(20:37):
, nothing, you know, I'm likejust laying around watching tv,
and I was like getting ready,you know, and.
And so it was just like I wastelling you it's not even that

I think we did.
Yeah, did it work?
Did he get jealous?
I don't remember.
Do you think that happens?
Speaker 2 (21:14):
I think it's a toxic way of living.
Yeah, you're right, it doesn't.
It didn't get me anywhere.
Good, didn't end up with eitherof them, for good reason,
though.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Thank God, yeah, so anyways.
No, that was a dumb story, butit was just funny.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Oh, it was so funny.
I love when you tell stories,but you know when you're trying
to pretend like you're not doingsomething and they're like what
?
Speaker 2 (21:35):
are you doing oh?
Speaker 1 (21:36):
nothing.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Do you do that?
Well, I wax them Still.
Yeah, amy doesn't.
Oh, really, I love Amy, yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Yeah, yeah, it doesn't hurt.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
No, it's great, it's weird.
I think it's going to.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Okay, moving on, we had another story we were going
to tell that casino.
One got me really off track.
Oh, it was so funny.
Oh, I wanted to.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Well, with good reason.
What's been going on lately?
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Every other day there's a plane you were scared
to fly for the last 20 years andnow all of a sudden, for good
reason, because there was oneplane crash.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
There was three, two and then the fire plane.
Three plane incidents in oneweek.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Anyways, when we fly, it's really annoying.
She's looking out the windowlike a crazy person.
Tyler, I'll send a videobecause we need to show the
video.
Yeah, Like a crazy person, Likeshe thinks she's going to see
something and be able to savesomeone.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
I'd like to see what's going on.
If the ground's getting closer,I want to see it.
Yeah, you know it's reallyawkward, but anyways, the plane
crashing's a little creepy, oh,this morning.
So Ben went on a plane todayand so, oh gosh, I didn't even
think about that.
Yeah, so this morning.
That's why you asked, it's sorude.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
That is why.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Well, because the way my brain works, I am a worst
case scenario person.
Yeah, real positive.
I know I like to prepare myselffor worst case, so I'm not
shocked by the devastation.
So this morning Ben is going toAustin for work for a couple
days, so he's flying there, sohe's getting ready.
I'm like, hey, do you?
Didn't you get a new lifeinsurance policy recently?
(23:02):
I feel like you did, cause hetold me he did and I was like
why do you get a new one?
You told him to up it again.
Yeah, because I want so muchmoney that I'm like it's like so
whack.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
No, I want to be.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
I don't want to worry about money when I'm getting
over my husband.
So you made it's not like 20million, you know, I don't think
they would just do that.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
No.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Yeah, so anyways, a few million dollars is a lot.
Totally, kyle has 500,000.
Yeah, no I want so much thatI'm not worrying about working.
You know it's getting weird.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
If something happens to Ben you saw it here first I'm
all eat up the rat poison.
No, I'm just kidding, I lovethat I would never do that.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
He gets pneumonia.
Yeah, exactly the diddy youknow.
So, yeah, he got diddied.
No, so I'm like hey, I know yougot that new life insurance
policy.
I need you to send me thenumber because, again, ben takes
care of all the financesbecause that's his job, so I
don't know anything.
If something happened to him, Iwould be in the fetal position.
I wouldn't know how to doanything.
So I made him send me before,like, a list of all of our like
(24:03):
accounts and insurance policiesso that, like, when he's gone, I
can know what to do.
You're telling a story, so weird, so this morning I say, hey,
send me that new life insurancepolicy so if you die on the
plane today, like I know, I canget the money.
And he's like so upset I don'tknow why.
Yeah, I said it just like that.
Yeah, it's horrible.
And he looks at me and he goesgeez and it's like I'm like are
(24:25):
you gonna cry?
Like it's so dumb, like Ididn't mean, like I want you to
die.
I mean like this soundshorrible.
Yeah, it's all bad.
No, I mean like if somethinghappens to you because you're
going on a scary plane and I'mscared, I want to be able to
have this.
It.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
It wasn't showing him you're that scared.
It was like, hey, if you kickthe bucket today, I want to make
sure I'm paid out.
Yeah, that's how it sounds.
Well, that's what I meant.
Oh my gosh, this is horrible.
But like, obviously, I'd bedevastated.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
But I need to be logical.
And so he's like you could belike oh, I'm going to miss you.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Did you give him a tongue kiss on his way out?
Speaker 2 (25:03):
No, what A tongue on his way out.
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
You gotta step up the tongue kissing a little.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
I mean, do people like?
Speaker 1 (25:12):
tongue kissing.
Yeah, I don't.
Who wouldn't?
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Me, I don't know, it seems like a waste of time.
Let's get to it, you know, Iknow, but you don't like tongue
anything.
What do you mean?
Tongue anything?
Oh yeah, I'm just not like,let's get it going, you know.
Well, then it's over.
Yeah, I'm just not like, let'sget it going, you know.
Well, then it's over.
I know I'm fine with that.
No Dragging it out, you know Isound like a horrible person.
(25:39):
We got to move on.
No, okay, let's move on.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
People are going to hate me.
Speaking of tongues, what theheck happened with Kanye West
and his wife on the red carpet?
It's sad.
There was like three of themthat were naked Rihanna and her.
It wasn't good.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
The whole Grammys.
I saw this thing that someonesaid Grammys like 20 years ago
and they were all in like nicedresses, and then Grammys today
and the guy had a castle on hisface.
He did Will Smith's son.
Oh it's weird.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Well, what's happened to him is sad, yeah, like why
are we dressing like this?
Speaker 2 (26:09):
And then it's an award show.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Why don't you just dress nice, it's just weird.
Just weird.
I didn't watch it, Did you?
No?
I don't think anybody watchesit, do you?
No?
I just see like I'm scrollingon Instagram.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
It's sad, though.
She has a great body though.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
It's like the best body.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
The best body ever places, but I've seen her naked
now.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Like it's on Instagram that she's naked.
They didn't even blur it outfor a long time and you don't
feel good as a girl.
No, I felt so bad for her.
Yeah, I know it's sad.
I felt really bad.
Our family was sending it onthe group chat this morning Not
my immediate family, my olderfamily yeah, like sister and
brother-in-laws.
It was bad.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
It's sad though for her I know it's so Instagram.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
I don't want her seeing a naked girl.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
I mean, I think there's a lot of naked people on
Instagram in general.
I've never seen that naked.
Yeah, have you.
I've seen some weird things onInstagram.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Nipples Like full nipples.
What's your feed like?
I know.
Now I'm like why am I seeingthese naked women on?
Speaker 2 (27:02):
my algorithm, I don't see anybody naked.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Yeah, that is a little weird.
Let that be passed.
Yeah, all right, moving on withnaked people.
That is another thing thathappened.
That was awful.
The Grammys are awful, but yousaid, you didn't even think that
was.
Kanye, I don't think it's.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Kanye yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Well, I saw a clip that said if I'm acting
different, no, it's not me.
And it was when he was in hisJesus era, because he went from
Jesus era to this.
And it's Wes posted that samenight pictures of their parents
together.
Oh sad, it was so sad.
Speaking of you didn't watchchurch this week, I take it it
was about divorce.
(27:37):
It was actually so interesting,oh my gosh.
And he talked about Ashley, ourpastor at CCV.
He talked about how, when hisparents got divorced, his
parents got divorced right afterhe got married.
So he was very old and he grewup in a really religious family.
Mm-hmm so he was very old and hegrew up in a really religious
family and he talked about itwas the hardest thing still he's
ever been through and howpainful divorce is.
Yeah, because God created us tobe one bond.
(27:57):
It was like so good, you wouldlike it because it's very like
Bible, like the two men becomeone flesh.
Yeah, and like why you're one.
And then he had this depictionof this construction paper that
was like you know the glue youlike, you like paint on.
Remember the old school Used tosniff it?
Yeah, did you?
No, I didn't.
I love that song.
No, anyways, the adhesive likeyou glue two pieces of like
(28:19):
cardboard or construction papertogether and he used that as the
two people becoming one.
And then he on in his sermon hepulled it apart and he's like,
even though these two areseparating, it was they were
mangled.
Yeah, because they were one andhe pulled them apart and they
weren't meant to be pulled apart, right?
So he's like this is divorce.
He's like it's brutal.
You're not the same peopleanymore.
(28:39):
It tears you apart, right, it'stwo pieces that are left worse
than when they started, like ifyou took the two pieces that
were full.
Yeah, he's saying that I don't.
Divorce isn't of me because itruins something that I united.
It's not supposed to be broken,right.
So when it is broken, it's sopainful, right.
To the two people that havebeen divorced, to the kids, it's
(29:01):
so painful, yeah.
And he did talk about there'sextenuating circumstances where
a divorce is the only option,and he talked to actually men
that are hearing this and helike looked him in the eye and
he's like if you're abusing yourwife, I'm not talking to you.
He's like you're disgustingbecause you're trying to
manipulate her to stay, you know, using this sermon.
It was really good and he saidlike you know, adultery, those
things, if the other personisn't willing to change and
(29:23):
isn't willing to unify, he'slike you can't stay right.
But if you're both willing tolike, work together after
adultery and forgive, then itstill can create that bond,
because you're going back to Godand God will make that bond
pure again.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Which we both know, people that have done that and
are better off for stayingthrough it, but they were both
willing to really be sorry andforgive and not make it again.
It's not like over and over.
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
And like I know of people that they didn't weren't
even that sorry, it's like howcan you say, yeah, you know.
So it was just like so good.
And he talked about people thatare going through it or
thinking, or on their way out,and how you know it's better to
go back to God, go back tofundamentals, and then God can
change your marriage, not likeyou pointing faults at each
other.
Right, it was really good.
(30:07):
Yeah, it was was really good.
Yeah, it was interesting towatch it.
We watched it last night in bedand then we watched night agent
.
Yeah, so good, I'm watchingyounger.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Have you ever watched younger?
No, oh, it's so good.
It's darren star.
Yeah, who's like nine or two?
No, no sex in the city.
Yeah, aaron spelling was nineor two, yeah, yeah sex in the
city and emily in paris.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
oh yeah, I loved aaron star and something else
that I really love.
It's so cute, cute, they're30-minute episodes.
Yeah, she's trying to be 22.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Well, ben's gone for the next few nights, so I'm
going to watch like a show thatwe don't watch together.
Yeah, it's really cute.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
I've been watching that.
It's good.
Yeah, yeah, that's happening.
What else in life, what else doyou want to talk about?
You're down below.
No, no, you know.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Yeah, no, the down below there's none.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
You said you were going in and no For the landing
strip.
No.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Because for the pilots, no, the pilots, yeah,
maybe don't keep the planes inthe air.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
you know, I don't know.
It's scary, though the pilotsAnything weird and we have to
fly.
I'm not fine, but what's hegoing to do?
I don't think you're thatconcerned.
You're more concerned about youflying to Dallas than you are,
ben, on the flight today.
True.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Because I don't want to experience the falling.
Yeah, I agree, I'm more scaredof that feeling If we blew up in
the air and I died.
I'm not scared of dying as muchas that feeling.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
That's the only feeling I don't want.
Oh, I remembered what I wantedto talk was quitting.
I was really quitting that time.
I'm not quitting again Now.
We're back in it, going fullfledged, and so I went through
the period of being very present, which I loved.
It was really healing for mewith my dad.
But, um, that that period is ischanged a little bit.
We're back to busy and I.
(31:43):
It's weird how when I wasn'tthat busy, I had peace, I could
sleep through the night like itwas crazy, and now I don't have
that peace.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Are you back to not sleeping?
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Yeah, I'm not sleeping, great Like I can't
wait to go to bed for the mentalbreak you know?
Speaker 2 (31:57):
But I think of things I need to do in the middle of
the night.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
So now that I'm going back, into this busy season of,
like my mind, being preoccupied, my phone ringing all the time.
It's weird to know how can youmanage that and still have peace
.
I don't know if you know how.
I don't know if listeners knowhow.
I don't know if this is abattle for anyone else, because
I find that I'm way shorter withpeople that I do care about
(32:21):
because of the juggling in myhead and, like you, never
listened to me.
When I'm talking to you andyou're thinking of something
else, right, you're not there.
So I think, like you said, youget annoyed at your kids
sometimes when you're on thecomputer, right, and you're
raging and yelling, but maybeit's something you wouldn't have
been mad at if you wouldn'thave been stressed, right?
Speaker 2 (32:37):
well, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
I don't know how to balance it, I'm struggling, so
yeah, I have been doing my walksforever, since 75 hard, yeah,
and I haven't been doing that asmuch because the day's starting
so crazy, right.
So I do think that's the thingthat you get grounded first and
you get your priorities in orderand like more I'm taking
control of my day than my day'shappening to me Feels like it's
twisting, like my day'shappening to me again and I'm
(32:59):
not in control of it.
I'm kind of like putting outfires all day.
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Well, I feel like in our line of work it's hard to
have okay, I'm gonna work thesehours to these hours.
It's a very like 24-7.
Things come up job and peopleneed you 24-7.
So that's where I struggle withmaybe having a boundary, yeah,
and then if I'm okay, I'm notgonna work right now, but I see
(33:24):
something come up.
Not dealing with it wouldstress me out more because I'd
be thinking of it the whole time.
So it's almost better to justdeal with it.
But then I do feel like whenthe kids get, I'm still working
and I'd love to be able to givethem To be done by them.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Yes, that's actually not a bad goal.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Do you?
Speaker 1 (33:39):
know what I mean.
Yeah, I think, because it's notan eight to five, it's hard.
I think being commission basedis hard as well, so you have to
like, you have to go when itcomes because it might not come
again.
But then I think sometimes Ineed to be more trusting that it
will come again and it will beconsistent, right?
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Because I think I don't know, it's just hard All
of a sudden you'll get fiveleads or calls I don't even like
the word lead of people thatneed help and I can't like yeah,
it's not even about thecommission, it's about if I
don't help someone right now,they're going to feel like I
don't want to like not get backto someone, because then they
feel like I'm not representingthem and helping them.
(34:15):
It's just like a lot.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
I'm not very motivated by money either but I
it's weird because sometimes Ithink it's always so tempting to
see um, the rise right, if Iwork so much, I can get here.
If I work hard at work, I canget this promotion.
If I do this, I can get that.
And I was talking to a friendof mine who is a jerky and she
was listening to the podcastabout me being more present and
how I did have that and I stilldo sorry about the chair moving,
(34:42):
but I still do have peace in alot more areas than I did before
.
I took that mental break of likenot being busy and not really
working or taking clients andshe said it was really relatable
because she has three youngkids and one older daughter
that's a sophomore in highschool and she's like, as I'm
looking at, her time ending andI have three more opportunities
to be more present than I waswith my first.
I'm kind of reevaluating that,but it's so crazy.
(35:02):
In the same time she just got ajob offer that's like a triple
to her income.
Double, an easy double.
And it's a lot of money, and soshe's like it's weird that God's
taking me in the divide of bothseasons.
I've never wanted to stay homemore and I've never gotten an
opportunity for a higher payingjob.
Right, that's so hard to.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
So, hard.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
But I'm like, isn't that ironic If you look from the
outside, god's pulling you tostay home and the devil's coming
at you.
The best way possible Withmoney?
Yeah, with, look at it, I meanthe job is like $300,000.
That's a huge opportunity.
But I always told, I told heryou have to give to get, I'm all
well, I'll take her job.
No, I'm just kidding, you areprobably thinking that no, but I
(35:41):
think for you, money issecurity of something you didn't
have when you were younger.
So like you crave that and Ithink maybe there's that for a
lot of people.
But I always think when yougive and you get, so you might
be able to be given thisopportunity, like you might be
getting this opportunity, butyou're going to give up a lot to
get there Right.
And I think that's sometimessomething we forget.
When we take on more and I'mthe queen of it I take on a lot
(36:03):
of things, you know, likedifferent hats, different
opportunities, and I forget thatwhen I take on something, I'm
also giving away something elseGiving away being nice to Kyle
when he gets home.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Yeah, saying yes to that is saying no to your family
, yes.
Well, it's weird because whenthe kids were younger, I stayed
home and I was Joe present mom,like never stressed about money,
whatever, or never stressedabout work.
I was just present mom 24-7.
And I loved that.
And now I work, and I lovedthat, and now I work and I'm
(36:34):
super busy and I feel like I Ifelt like I did it.
I stayed at home cause theywere little and now they're in
school and they're busy and theyhave their own things going on
and I'm feeling like, okay, nowI can work.
But as I'm finding out, I'mthinking these are maybe the
moments I need to be.
I should have stayed home now,yeah, and I should have worked
(36:56):
then, because now I feel likethey need me in a different way.
They do and it's crazy, it'sjust hard, because I I always
think I'm.
I'm like am I working too much?
It's just such a hard thing forme too.
I always told parents and Inever understood when you were
stressed about that.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
You know, gosh, all these things are coming around
to bite me in the butt.
Crystal does this thing wherewhen it happens to her she
doesn't care or whatever.
No, it's just normal.
Everybody does that.
We always judge until ithappens to us, and then we're
like oh, now I know what itfeels like, but when I was a
teacher, encourage them.
No, now is when they need youthe most.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
But it doesn't feel like they need you because,
because they're gone all day.
And you're not doing the littlethings that are needed.
It's a need.
I got a play date.
It's like an emotional need,yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
Like when they're available to talk to me in the
five minutes I get.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
I need to be okay with not getting back to the the
work people right away.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
Maybe we're having an epiphany.
Maybe we try to button upeverything by five o'clock yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
Literally.
And then let the fires or likethree, 30, and then I can come
back when they're practice yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
Yeah, yeah, that's true, I think in.
I think the car rides are myfavorite and those are going to
go away soon because they'll bedriving, but there's only so
much time they'll really talk tome.
Yesterday I had such a crazyday that when I got home and
they all got home it was one ofthose nights that everyone was
home, and I hate when everyone'sin their rooms or on their
phone that I was like I don'tcare, I want to be in the bath
(38:30):
and I want to see Kyle because Ihaven't seen him.
And I always battle that Like Idon't see my kids and Kyle.
When we're out of town with oneof our kids and I get home I
feel like they all needattention.
But then I've been trying to goto my husband first, because I
feel like you got to pour at thetop and then it'll trickle down
Well.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
at the end of the day , that will make them happier
than you being there for them.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
Yeah, we had the funniest thing though Kyle.
Kyle's the strict one, myhusband, and he's the no guy.
He says no to everything.
That was what I said I wantedfrom him.
Um, in our marriage churchthing, but it's still getting no
.
But, um, maybe rewatch that one, maybe I try that I'm going to
be against the window.
Yeah, exactly yeah, but he tookthe kids and he had the best
(39:11):
weekend and so it was awesome.
Because sometimes when we'retogether and he's not being dad
and I think some moms, some momscan be controlling where they
don't relinquish control whenthe dad's there, or dads can be
controlling and they don'trelinquish control, we think we
need to micromanage the otherpartner and I think, like we've
been gone so much that I'm likeI don't know what goes on when
I'm not there for the weekend.
And he's just did such a goodjob.
(39:33):
Yeah, like he did take Maddieto In-N-Out after, pick her up,
took all the girls teepeeinglike things.
If I was home he would beyelling at me, right, but
because it's just him, he's likebeing such a more present,
happy dad.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
Well, he's like me, I like to in things.
If I'm not included, I'm likethat's stupid.
So I think sometimes you'retrying to help by handling it
all.
Yeah, and you're, you'relooking from him, you're like,
oh, I'll handle this, I don'twant to bother him.
But he's actually happier whenhe is bothered, yeah, and
involved, because then he's waymore, he knows what's going on,
(40:06):
he's in the loop and he likes tobe fun too you know, yeah, he's
so fun, and he isn't always,but when he's not in the loop,
he just sees you running raggedand he's like what are you doing
?
we're not going deep in right.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
I said no, there's toilet paper all over our garage
.
Yeah, I'm like how much did youbuy?
Like I would have been in somuch trouble?
Speaker 2 (40:20):
oh, totally but that's why I think that's where
you need to kind of get him in.
You know you gotta include himmore maybe I know, but if I
include me, just says no.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
No, well, he didn't this weekend, I know, because it
was just him.
I think I need to leave more.
Yeah, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
Or just say I can't do this.
I need you to do this, even ifyou can.
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
Yeah, yeah, all the things, yeah, and tongue kiss.
Why don't you work on tonguekissing?
I'll work on including Jesus.
Stop it, alright, let's sum uphere so gross.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
It's not Not gross, but like the tongue out right
now, it's just a lot for I'mpicturing it.
I'm picturing it.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
