We are so glad that we can dothis together and the music's
over so you may now speak,andrew.
Oh man.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
That's good.
It's an exercise in patience,or?
Speaker 1 (00:59):
something Everyone's anticipating.
They're waiting.
They're like ugh, cannot waitfor Building.
The tension it was.
It was spectacular.
So we just have to hang out onsunday of labor day and if you
haven't yet seen the slappingvideo, you should go to our
(01:19):
facebook page and watch thetortilla slaps and then our kids
tortilla slapping.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
It's all pretty funny , it's, it's pretty it's, it's
pretty good and, as you saidthat out loud, I'm like a lot of
our friendship is based onslaps in the face it's a droop,
it's true.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Actually, as we were doing, I thought, oh, we've done
this before.
It's a much more painfully thana tortilla.
Yeah, a tortilla is a funnysoft sort of like, but also like
it does a good sound.
Some of the kids they got it.
It does a great sound, but noone's crying.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
No one's crying.
Yeah, nobody's eyes arewatering.
Afterwards no handprints on theface.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
If you don't know what we're talking about I think
we've talked about this before.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Oh, yes, as far as the other kinds of slaps.
Scott and I have an agreement,yes, where at any wedding where
both Scott and I are present, wehave one free slap in the face
Yep and the other person can'tget, mad, can't get mad.
It's just, it's agreed upon, soit just happens.
(02:25):
We know that at some point inthat evening I'm going to get
slapped in the face.
He's going to get slapped inthe face.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
That's just the way it goes, and I guess, to our
friend's credit, our friendshave still stayed married and so
we haven't had any secondmarriages to go to.
Our kids are not yet of themarrying age, so we don't have
those.
But there's coming a day andit's not close, but it's not as
far as it was.
Yeah, where like a.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Katie Conrad just married somebody, and we're
definitely both invited to that.
We've got a couple years.
Before our kiddos are there,I've started my new wave of
weddings.
Oh yeah, like you know, whenyou're kind of in your twenties,
you start going like there wasone summer I think I went to
five or six, or maybe I was infive or six weddings.
There's just so many and it'sjust like everybody we knew was
(03:17):
getting married.
Um, and then you kind of gothrough the period where, yeah,
there's less of that right, sonow I've got.
I've got some older nieces andnephews, and some of them have
been getting married, so doesMary sisters are older.
She's number four or five, four, yeah, so she has older sisters
, but we don't have thecrossover, Not yet, but maybe
(03:41):
maybe we should see if.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Do you have one coming up?
Do you have any nieces ornephews that are engaged?
Speaker 2 (03:48):
I don't, but I was probably thinking the same thing
you're thinking If you getinvited, let me be your plus one
instead.
Of.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Emily, I'll just add or the same on the other side,
although it would be awkward ifyour kids and me and you and
Mary is like that's my niece.
Sorry, you're not allowed tocome to this wedding.
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
You're out?
Yeah, can I Do I get a plus two?
Mary, can I slap you at thewedding?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
No, yeah, yeah, megan wasn't able to make it, so we
brought Scott instead.
He does have to sit at thekids' table, yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Yeah, he has to sit at the kids' table.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
But he's in and the slap.
I I do want to say and I, asI've been watching those videos
I don't know how many timesyou've watched them, I've
watched them a couple becausethey're fun um, I, I think that
this falls into the you are, bydefault, better at that stuff
than I am like mode of the like.
I feel like I I'm putting it inthe like, acting like keeping
(04:46):
it together Like you were onyour game man, like you are not
breaking.
You did the hat turnaround, youdid the like like you were I.
I got none of that.
I, that skillset is Well thatthat became apparent.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
If you watch the video closely, you'll see that
we kind of do the.
There's a cut and all of thesudden it cuts and my shirt is
soaked, and it's because not 15seconds in, scott is just
staring me straight in the facefrom a foot away and just
(05:21):
unleashes his entire mouth fullof water.
Way, and just unleashes hisentire mouth full of water like
we just out of the blue, justall of the sudden, just in your
face, old faithful geyser uponmy face and chest, and I'm like
I now have scott's mouth waterall over my face, and which is
kind of how I thought this wouldend in general, like but
(05:43):
there's a lot, because there's alot of like dribbling that
usually happens in the tortilla.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
So the idea, if you haven't seen it, is you fill
your mouth with water to likechipmunk style.
So not just a little bit ofwater, but like full as much as
comfortable, yeah right and thenyou slap each other across the
face of the tortilla and whoeverlets go of the water first
loses.
And Andrew's just like.
You're in your zone, man, youcan just lock in, and I'm like I
(06:10):
should have known that goinginto this.
I'm entering your wheelhouse, Ididn't realize that was a
wheelhouse of mine.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
I think it is.
I just found a real dark placein my mind.
And I was like I'm not going tolaugh or even smile or even
come remotely close to havingany joy.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
I'm here to win.
I think that we're going tohave a detour, but I lost,
that's the thing when you win,you lose.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I know, because technically you lost by spitting
it out, but I'm the guy coveredin mouth water so great and I
imagined it was going to be aspray like a mist, but it felt
like a bucket of water wasthrown at me.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
I'm like you had a lot of water in there, there's a
lot of water in there.
I went full chipmunk style.
You did.
Maybe that was the problem.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
I think maybe I could have had room for more water.
Oh, maybe Now that I'm justbeing totally forthcoming with
this information.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
I tried to do as much as I can and the thing that I
was wondering if the kids weredoing was, like you could
swallow a little bit.
You know which I didn't, butI'm like, oh, you could just
like you could get a lot downwithout really being caught
probably, but that's not as fun.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Yeah, I think I saw my youngest at one point when
she spit it out like hardlyanything came out.
I'm like oh, you drank thatInteresting.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Yeah, oh, I was thirsty.
Yeah, yeah, no, it's a good Iwas okay, so I was thinking next
time.
Okay, chubby Bunny, because Iknow Chubby Bunny is not allowed
for youth groups, but it couldbe allowed for because
supposedly someone died once.
Chubby Bunying, yeah.
But like it's still allowed forfriend groups, so I was like we
(07:53):
do chubby bunny and the kids dochubby bunny.
That's a great game.
You remember chubby bunny?
Oh, of course I do.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
I'm just like, do?
Yeah, you're looking at me.
I'm like, do I want my childrento fill their mouths with
marshmallows?
And of course you do as a like,these are the games that are
supposed to take place away fromyour parents, because if a
parent is able and as a parentsending your kid to youth group,
you know this stuff ishappening, but at least you're
not there to know.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
You hope it's happening.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
So you're just like it's going to happen.
But if I'm there present withmy kids I'm like do I actually
want them to put eightmarshmallows in their mouth?
Of course you do.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
What would be the downside?
Choking and dying.
But they're not gonna choke.
That's what I mean.
They're not gonna choke and die.
If we're we.
How many times we played thatwith people?
No one's choked and died.
It hasn't happened.
You know who was the best?
Who was the best at this game,do you remember?
eric marth ah, he was likefreakishly good and that's like
(08:46):
22 marshmallows.
I'm like incredibly high amount, gosh.
That was just the other thingthat we should do and this
should be a detour is I've seenthis before, but I I just know
I'm gonna lose, so I don't knowwhy I'm even suggesting it.
But, um, you tell each otherlike dad jokes or dad jokes, and
whoever laughs first, then theygo.
(09:07):
But this is not even acompetition.
It's going to be so quicklythat I'm going to lose this
competition, so I'm not evensure why I'm suggesting it.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
I do love those videos, dad jokes out there?
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Yeah, yeah, true, true, true.
Like do you want to hear a timetelling joke?
Yeah, oh, nevermind jokes outthere.
Yeah, yeah, true, true, true.
Like do you want to hear a timetelling?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
joke.
Yeah, oh, never mind, youdidn't like it.
I think I've heard that onebefore I like that one.
It's a solid one and it's justa good one yeah, okay, where are
we in the world?
Oh, we're in florida.
That's right, I started a swamp.
We are in muddy, god's waitingFlorida, as I like to refer to
it.
I love it Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
The land before time and Janet and Judy are there.
Oh man we had lamb last night,mint jelly.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
We are just riding on the tails of luxury.
We are In the gated communityof Estero, Florida, so today is
day 58.
It's a Wednesday.
It's November 24th 2004.
Nice, let's, do we go.
Today was a treat.
One of the perks of livingwhere they do is the use of the
(10:18):
private beach club on the Gulf,just a short drive away.
We ate some lunch whileoverlooking the gulf, then
walked out on the white sand toour chairs that had been set out
for us.
Scott Judy and I played somesmash ball for a bit and then we
swam in the gulf and it's notcorrect to call it the ocean,
(10:41):
it's the gulf.
It's late November, the air is80 degrees and the water is 70
degrees.
We hung out for a few hours andjust enjoyed a wonderful day.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Perfect, perfect, smashball.
That's a terrible.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Smashball.
No, it's Smashball.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Well done.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
I haven't played that probably since then.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
These.
I was reading back and readingahead and I was like, oh my gosh
, these people live on vacation.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Yeah, that's what people think about us too,
though, but it's fair, althoughthe chairs being out, everything
I mean right, because theproblem with the beach is
getting all prepared, everythingright.
Chair towel there, you justwalk, it's all there.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Here's your chair, here's your towel yeah, and I
don't know if they had a.
Do they have a golf cart, or dowe just?
Speaker 1 (11:34):
hop in their car.
It feels like there was a golfcart involved which is perfect
Golf cart vibes right Like right.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Imagine just living in a place where you're like oh,
let's go down to the beach club, I'll call them up.
Hey, we're coming down, oh surething Mr.
And Mrs Gare, your chairs, willbe enjoy white sand in november
.
November 24th swim in the golfwhy are golf carts better?
Speaker 1 (11:59):
because, like, our neighbor across the street has a
golf cart and and it's justbetter to like drive to the
beach, go to the beach.
I don't know why it's better.
He's like you still have to getin the car, you still have to
drive.
It's still kind of parking spotand was like do you have to
park in the same way?
I'm like, no, you do, but forsome reason it's just.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
It's just got such vacation vibes.
Wait, you can drive a golf carton the street.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Yeah, they're street legal.
He has plates and lights andeverything.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
I mean it's a lot of people around here drive.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
I mean that makes sense when you're buying a piece
.
Yeah, like to be like I'm goingto run out and grab breakfast
and just hop in the golf.
It just feels so casual, itfeels better, it feels so
different, right, I don't knowwhy.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
You're like in a car, you're like it's not that much
different, but just, they have aseat belt.
Yeah, yeah, they have a seatbelt.
One time the batteries weren'tcharged enough and we made it
like almost all the way home andthen it was just like going so
slow, and so then I'm like I'mgonna get off and push because I
weigh the most right.
So I start pushing, we pushing,we have Emily, isaac and Hope,
(13:01):
and then push, push, push andthen, like we got to a downhill,
jump in, go on the downhill,let it go Get the uphill, pretty
cool.
And at the end Isaac and Hopeall were pushing and me and
Emily's just steering because weneeded something.
Oh my gosh that's funny.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Yeah, I don't, I don't know.
Like anytime I go camping,there's always people with the
golf cart.
I'm like, wow, that's, that'scommitment.
But yeah, I don't know.
I've never considered.
You know what, where I live, Idon't think would be a great
golf cart area, but where youlive for sure, everywhere.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Yeah, there's so many golf carts I don't agree.
Yeah, they're fun, so, yeah,interesting, I was.
Just I can't quite figure outit, I can't really figure out
why, but it is true it is better, right, like it's better just
jumping into a golf cart going.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, so vacationmode.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Oh boy, so that was a good, that was a good time.
So after dinner, janet, judyscott and I played some intense
games of euchre.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Judy gets vicious yes , yes, and you were her partner
and she, oh my gosh, she doesnot let you pull like you those.
I think those are still thingsthat you probably need to work
through in therapy, because youmake a mistake and judy is on
you like white on rice and thenjust like, why would you do that
?
And you were pretty experiencedfuture player because you just
(14:22):
come up a lot in this podcast,but she has years of experience,
years and years of playing well, I'm thinking that the first
time I ever played was probablyback in Michigan with her, so
she probably taught me how toplay.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
And then we've played it a lot in Atlantic City and
other places.
By this time, time-wise notvery experienced, but at this
point I knew the game prettywell.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Lots of games, lots of reps, lots of reps, so I knew
what I was doing.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
But man if you made a mistake, you wouldn't know
about it.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Or you didn't call it quick enough, or yeah, all of
those things, yeah exactly.
Crazy, exactly.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
That is the end of that day.
Just bliss, relaxation, warmth.
Should we go on to the next day?
The next day is Thanksgiving.
Oh, oh.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Wow, what does?
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Thanksgiving.
Look like on the road trip inEstero, florida vacation land.
Well, friends, let's find out.
It's day 59, thursday,thanksgiving, 11-25-04.
I woke up this morning and, ofcourse course, began watching
the Macy's parade.
Yeah, is that a tradition inyour household?
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Yeah, was it yours yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Uh, growing up?
Yes, uh, we.
We watch it a little sometimeshere and there nowadays, but not
always.
Have you been, um, still fun?
Have I been to the Rose paradenowadays, but not always.
Have you been still fun?
Those parade have I been to therose parade?
I have, yes, once as a kid, andthen I've also gone after the
rose parade, which I think isthe better to see strategy
(16:07):
floats they park all the floats,yeah, in this one high school,
I think and then you can go andlike walk and get real close to
them and see all the details ofhow they make these floats with
all the flowers.
It's spectacular, smellswonderful too.
Because you know roses, Irecommend it.
So after watching the Macy'sparade not the Rose Parade we
(16:32):
watched some football and theLions got their butts kicked.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
That's unusual, it's just typical, typical, typical.
But this year, guys, I'm pumped.
I know you're not a ball sportsperson, but, man, it's going to
be a great year.
It's going to be a great Lionsfootball year.
So Isaac is slowly getting intoit.
It's good.
It's all becoming more and morethe dream of sitting and
(16:56):
watching the football with thesun and cheering high-fiving.
Yeah, it's coming, man, it'scoming.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Good for you.
Good for you.
What would you do if he decidedhe liked a different team?
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Well, I just disown him like you do.
That's what the whole point offamily is, I see.
Put him out to pasture.
Although that is my certainchildren's personalities.
The classic story about Graceis the Lions have not been good
forever until recently and theyhad a national game and I was so
(17:28):
excited and I said, oh, grace,grace is like five, grace, the
Lions are playing on TV tonight.
They're actually on TV andshe's like, oh, who are they
playing against?
I'm like, oh, the DallasCowboys.
And she looks me right in theeyes oh, no, go Cowboys.
I'm like, wow, this explains alot about the next 50 years of
my life.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Why can't she let you have nice things?
I?
Speaker 1 (17:51):
don't know why she's a child, wow.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
That Because she's a child.
Wow, I have to sit her down andsay you know what?
Grace?
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Isaac, he has a lion's hat he's in.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
You're indoctrinating him, get him young, get him
young, yeah Well aside from thelion sucking, as usual we ate
some chips and dips that Janetand Judy prepared Again.
Let's go back to two days agonow, where we are just being.
(18:24):
We are just being pampered byWhoever can prove that they're
the most hospitable.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
I don't know if we were like playing them against
each other or they were justdoing it on their own.
But they're ready.
They're ready for that.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
They're ready.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Yeah, own, but they're ready, they're ready for
that.
They're ready.
Yeah, I said it was a very lazy, chauvinistic sort of morning,
like just two dudes ahead of thetime, just just two dudes
sitting on a couch watchingfootball while these ladies
brought us chips and dip.
Oh, oh, we didn't know how goodwe had it yeah send your, send
your mail to uh F Hawkins atthat's not the way it is now.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
in my household, there's not a lot of chip
dipping, while women bring mecold beverages.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Question for you.
Yes, what is the greatest dipin your mind?
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Oh, wow, okay, this is a good question, I really.
So I immediately went guacamolebecause it's it's good.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
I thought so I have, I have something in my, I have
the right answer and I also havewhat I thought you were going
to say which could also arguablybe the right answer let me hear
it I thought you were going tosay spinach, artichoke dip.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
I love that so much too.
That's so good yeah I know andI, I, as you said that I felt
overwhelmed because all of theoptions came to my mind and I'm
like, yes, yes, yes, yes, likethere's not a dip that I looked
at and I'm like that with a chip, isn't that?
Speaker 2 (19:53):
I feel like there is one that is like the cheat code
of dip of dips, though you'regonna say seven layer dip,
aren't you.
I am going to say seven layerdip.
Yeah, I thought it hasguacamole, it has beans, it has
cheese, it has sour cream, ithas other layers yeah, yeah, I'm
gonna say that I knew that thatwas where you go and it's, it's
so solid.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
But, like you know, they just, uh, my mother-in-law
just bought, like this, uh,hatch chili dip from Costco
Great, I'm thinking.
A buffalo chicken dip, like atthe crock pot at parties Yep,
great, they're like ranch dip.
Ranch dip for vegetables.
Block of cottage cheese withsome random jam, whatever that
(20:32):
is, pour it over, sure, oh.
I'm so dippable.
Like dips are so good.
Are you know what?
Yeah, it's hard to pick likedips.
I'm starting to think why, likemaybe at our next thing when we
get together, we only have dips.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
No, main course ah, just like a smorgasbord of dips.
Just a smorgasbord of dips,yeah just a smorgasbord of dips.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Who's upset about that?
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Nobody.
Well, that's the problem.
Fondue falls into the dipcategory in my brain too, and
that's hot dip.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
That's hot, and there's chocolate dip.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Ugh, Dessert dip, Dessert dip.
That's some stuff right there.
You know um this weekend whenwe were down at Allison's house
we brought these like thinpretzel chip thing.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Oh yeah those are you know what I'm talking about?
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Yes, and they had a spinach artichoke dip.
Yeah, that combination.
I could have polished that offall by myself.
Salty pretzel.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Oh man, that was good .
Okay, so it's only dips thistime.
And like creative dips, oh dude, I like dips.
Are you guys free this weekend?
I know I want to get out rightnow.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
I'm just going to have a private dip party, maybe
Just seven dips.
Just leave me alone everybody.
I'm going into this room withseven different dips.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Oh, this is an interesting game.
You mean like putting tobaccoin your lip?
Speaker 1 (22:01):
No, no, no no, no, but I don't know why I keep
having, like Maryland crab dip.
I don't ever had that.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
but I was just thinking along those lines.
Is ceviche considered a?
Speaker 1 (22:10):
dip A hundred percent .
Anything you do with a chip,anything that chip is the.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
If there's a dip, yeah, you know what Also I love
this is you eat this with pitachips, hummus.
Hummus is not what I was goingto talk about, but great, I love
hummus, but the tzatziki it'slike the oh yeah Cucumber dip
Sounds weird.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Great it is, but that's lower on my list because
I want to put that on like aPETA, like I want to put that on
like a Euro.
Sure, do it Okay.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Recommend that.
Oh, dips, trader Joe's has gooddips.

So let's get back to it.
For Thanksgiving dinner we wentover to the home of Rita and
her daughter, holly.
Oh, do you remember Rita andHolly?
(23:06):
Nope, I remember thinking Hollywas an attractive woman.
Speaker 1 (23:10):

How old is Holly?
She's probably in her 50s.
Okay, yeah, great, I don't know.
Her mom is 84, so do the math.
I don't know Her mom is 84,.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
So do the math, I don't know.
I recently confessed to Marythat there's an actress that I'm
like.
I don't know why, but when Iwas a kid I thought she was
attractive, and when I was a kidshe was like old.
No, no, no, no, I gotta thinkof her name.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
I'm not gonna be able to do it.
Your celebrity crush's name no.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Yeah, I can able to do every crush's name.
No, I don't, this is so.
Yeah, I can't even yeah.
But she was like okay, I don'tknow, I just thought that's a,
that's a nice looking woman, shewas it, I love it.
I could appreciate.

She's.
She's quite a bit older than me, maybe older than my parents,
but hey, I can appreciate a nicelooking woman kind of like,
like Holly.

So, rita and her daughter Holly, they are friends of the.
(24:06):

Speaker 2 (24:23):
Right, and how apropos for Thanksgiving the
Rockettes a staple of the Macy'sparade, the Rockettes' famous
kickline Absolutely Right Fordinner we had turkey stuffing
sweet corn from Ohio.
I don't know why that is adistinction.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Maybe because they're probably from Ohio.
Someone's probably from Ohiobecause it's the west coast of
Florida.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
True true, true, cranberries, homemade and canned

Yeah, cranberries.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
This is interesting, right starts off well, but
doesn't continue well.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Well, that's a great question.
Yes, um, yeah, I think there'ssome good pondering.
Or is florida just that badthat even these great days, they
can't overwhelm the othercrappy parts of of the state?
Could?
Speaker 2 (26:40):
be who knows, yeah, who knows, indeed.
But man.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
So far, florida, you're showing up, but there is
a reason that there's sometrauma and it's coming up, so

Au revoir, au revoir.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
After a while.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
I keep it going, bye, bye.
Hello and welcome to Kings of the Road time.
You are in for a journeythrough the swamp of Florida,
humidity buds, covered pools.
You're with Scott Hawkins, me,andrew Garrett Thou, who does
not speak until the news againstthee, and we are in Florida.
(00:40):
If you have not yet Facebook,like Instagram, like subscribe,
let us know.
If you are going to want todefend your state, let us know.
We are so glad that we can dothis together and the music's
over so you may now speak,andrew.
Oh man.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
That's good.
It's an exercise in patience,or?
Speaker 1 (00:59):
something Everyone's anticipating.
They're waiting.
They're like ugh, cannot waitfor Building.
The tension it was.
It was spectacular.
So we just have to hang out onsunday of labor day and if you
haven't yet seen the slappingvideo, you should go to our
(01:19):
facebook page and watch thetortilla slaps and then our kids
tortilla slapping.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
It's all pretty funny , it's, it's pretty it's, it's
pretty good and, as you saidthat out loud, I'm like a lot of
our friendship is based onslaps in the face it's a droop,
it's true.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Actually, as we were doing, I thought, oh, we've done
this before.
It's a much more painfully thana tortilla.
Yeah, a tortilla is a funnysoft sort of like, but also like
it does a good sound.
Some of the kids they got it.
It does a great sound, but noone's crying.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
No one's crying.
Yeah, nobody's eyes arewatering.
Afterwards no handprints on theface.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
If you don't know what we're talking about I think
we've talked about this before.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Oh, yes, as far as the other kinds of slaps.
Scott and I have an agreement,yes, where at any wedding where
both Scott and I are present, wehave one free slap in the face
Yep and the other person can'tget, mad, can't get mad.
It's just, it's agreed upon, soit just happens.
(02:25):
We know that at some point inthat evening I'm going to get
slapped in the face.
He's going to get slapped inthe face.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
That's just the way it goes, and I guess, to our
friend's credit, our friendshave still stayed married and so
we haven't had any secondmarriages to go to.
Our kids are not yet of themarrying age, so we don't have
those.
But there's coming a day andit's not close, but it's not as
far as it was.
Yeah, where like a.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Katie Conrad just married somebody, and we're
definitely both invited to that.
We've got a couple years.
Before our kiddos are there,I've started my new wave of
weddings.
Oh yeah, like you know, whenyou're kind of in your twenties,
you start going like there wasone summer I think I went to
five or six, or maybe I was infive or six weddings.
There's just so many and it'sjust like everybody we knew was
(03:17):
getting married.
Um, and then you kind of gothrough the period where, yeah,
there's less of that right, sonow I've got.
I've got some older nieces andnephews, and some of them have
been getting married, so doesMary sisters are older.
She's number four or five, four, yeah, so she has older sisters
, but we don't have thecrossover, Not yet, but maybe
(03:41):
maybe we should see if.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Do you have one coming up?
Do you have any nieces ornephews that are engaged?
Speaker 2 (03:48):
I don't, but I was probably thinking the same thing
you're thinking If you getinvited, let me be your plus one
instead.
Of.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Emily, I'll just add or the same on the other side,
although it would be awkward ifyour kids and me and you and
Mary is like that's my niece.
Sorry, you're not allowed tocome to this wedding.
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
You're out?
Yeah, can I Do I get a plus two?
Mary, can I slap you at thewedding?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
No, yeah, yeah, megan wasn't able to make it, so we
brought Scott instead.
He does have to sit at thekids' table, yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Yeah, he has to sit at the kids' table.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
But he's in and the slap.
I I do want to say and I, asI've been watching those videos
I don't know how many timesyou've watched them, I've
watched them a couple becausethey're fun um, I, I think that
this falls into the you are, bydefault, better at that stuff
than I am like mode of the like.
I feel like I I'm putting it inthe like, acting like keeping
(04:46):
it together Like you were onyour game man, like you are not
breaking.
You did the hat turnaround, youdid the like like you were I.
I got none of that.
I, that skillset is Well thatthat became apparent.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
If you watch the video closely, you'll see that
we kind of do the.
There's a cut and all of thesudden it cuts and my shirt is
soaked, and it's because not 15seconds in, scott is just
staring me straight in the facefrom a foot away and just
(05:21):
unleashes his entire mouth fullof water.
Way, and just unleashes hisentire mouth full of water like
we just out of the blue, justall of the sudden, just in your
face, old faithful geyser uponmy face and chest, and I'm like
I now have scott's mouth waterall over my face, and which is
kind of how I thought this wouldend in general, like but
(05:43):
there's a lot, because there's alot of like dribbling that
usually happens in the tortilla.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
So the idea, if you haven't seen it, is you fill
your mouth with water to likechipmunk style.
So not just a little bit ofwater, but like full as much as
comfortable, yeah right and thenyou slap each other across the
face of the tortilla and whoeverlets go of the water first
loses.
And Andrew's just like.
You're in your zone, man, youcan just lock in, and I'm like I
(06:10):
should have known that goinginto this.
I'm entering your wheelhouse, Ididn't realize that was a
wheelhouse of mine.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
I think it is.
I just found a real dark placein my mind.
And I was like I'm not going tolaugh or even smile or even
come remotely close to havingany joy.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
I'm here to win.
I think that we're going tohave a detour, but I lost,
that's the thing when you win,you lose.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I know, because technically you lost by spitting
it out, but I'm the guy coveredin mouth water so great and I
imagined it was going to be aspray like a mist, but it felt
like a bucket of water wasthrown at me.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
I'm like you had a lot of water in there, there's a
lot of water in there.
I went full chipmunk style.
You did.
Maybe that was the problem.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
I think maybe I could have had room for more water.
Oh, maybe Now that I'm justbeing totally forthcoming with
this information.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
I tried to do as much as I can and the thing that I
was wondering if the kids weredoing was, like you could
swallow a little bit.
You know which I didn't, butI'm like, oh, you could just
like you could get a lot downwithout really being caught
probably, but that's not as fun.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Yeah, I think I saw my youngest at one point when
she spit it out like hardlyanything came out.
I'm like oh, you drank thatInteresting.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Yeah, oh, I was thirsty.
Yeah, yeah, no, it's a good Iwas okay, so I was thinking next
time.
Okay, chubby Bunny, because Iknow Chubby Bunny is not allowed
for youth groups, but it couldbe allowed for because
supposedly someone died once.
Chubby Bunying, yeah.
But like it's still allowed forfriend groups, so I was like we
(07:53):
do chubby bunny and the kids dochubby bunny.
That's a great game.
You remember chubby bunny?
Oh, of course I do.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
I'm just like, do?
Yeah, you're looking at me.
I'm like, do I want my childrento fill their mouths with
marshmallows?
And of course you do as a like,these are the games that are
supposed to take place away fromyour parents, because if a
parent is able and as a parentsending your kid to youth group,
you know this stuff ishappening, but at least you're
not there to know.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
You hope it's happening.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
So you're just like it's going to happen.
But if I'm there present withmy kids I'm like do I actually
want them to put eightmarshmallows in their mouth?
Of course you do.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
What would be the downside?
Choking and dying.
But they're not gonna choke.
That's what I mean.
They're not gonna choke and die.
If we're we.
How many times we played thatwith people?
No one's choked and died.
It hasn't happened.
You know who was the best?
Who was the best at this game,do you remember?
eric marth ah, he was likefreakishly good and that's like
(08:46):
22 marshmallows.
I'm like incredibly high amount, gosh.
That was just the other thingthat we should do and this
should be a detour is I've seenthis before, but I I just know
I'm gonna lose, so I don't knowwhy I'm even suggesting it.
But, um, you tell each otherlike dad jokes or dad jokes, and
whoever laughs first, then theygo.
(09:07):
But this is not even acompetition.
It's going to be so quicklythat I'm going to lose this
competition, so I'm not evensure why I'm suggesting it.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
I do love those videos, dad jokes out there?
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Yeah, yeah, true, true, true.
Like do you want to hear a timetelling joke?
Yeah, oh, nevermind jokes outthere.
Yeah, yeah, true, true, true.
Like do you want to hear a timetelling?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
joke.
Yeah, oh, never mind, youdidn't like it.
I think I've heard that onebefore I like that one.
It's a solid one and it's justa good one yeah, okay, where are
we in the world?
Oh, we're in florida.
That's right, I started a swamp.
We are in muddy, god's waitingFlorida, as I like to refer to
it.
I love it Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
The land before time and Janet and Judy are there.
Oh man we had lamb last night,mint jelly.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
We are just riding on the tails of luxury.
We are In the gated communityof Estero, Florida, so today is
day 58.
It's a Wednesday.
It's November 24th 2004.
Nice, let's, do we go.
Today was a treat.
One of the perks of livingwhere they do is the use of the
(10:18):
private beach club on the Gulf,just a short drive away.
We ate some lunch whileoverlooking the gulf, then
walked out on the white sand toour chairs that had been set out
for us.
Scott Judy and I played somesmash ball for a bit and then we
swam in the gulf and it's notcorrect to call it the ocean,
(10:41):
it's the gulf.
It's late November, the air is80 degrees and the water is 70
degrees.
We hung out for a few hours andjust enjoyed a wonderful day.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Perfect, perfect, smashball.
That's a terrible.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Smashball.
No, it's Smashball.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Well done.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
I haven't played that probably since then.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
These.
I was reading back and readingahead and I was like, oh my gosh
, these people live on vacation.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Yeah, that's what people think about us too,
though, but it's fair, althoughthe chairs being out, everything
I mean right, because theproblem with the beach is
getting all prepared, everythingright.
Chair towel there, you justwalk, it's all there.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Here's your chair, here's your towel yeah, and I
don't know if they had a.
Do they have a golf cart, or dowe just?
Speaker 1 (11:34):
hop in their car.
It feels like there was a golfcart involved which is perfect
Golf cart vibes right Like right.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Imagine just living in a place where you're like oh,
let's go down to the beach club, I'll call them up.
Hey, we're coming down, oh surething Mr.
And Mrs Gare, your chairs, willbe enjoy white sand in november
.
November 24th swim in the golfwhy are golf carts better?
Speaker 1 (11:59):
because, like, our neighbor across the street has a
golf cart and and it's justbetter to like drive to the
beach, go to the beach.
I don't know why it's better.
He's like you still have to getin the car, you still have to
drive.
It's still kind of parking spotand was like do you have to
park in the same way?
I'm like, no, you do, but forsome reason it's just.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
It's just got such vacation vibes.
Wait, you can drive a golf carton the street.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Yeah, they're street legal.
He has plates and lights andeverything.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
I mean it's a lot of people around here drive.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
I mean that makes sense when you're buying a piece
.
Yeah, like to be like I'm goingto run out and grab breakfast
and just hop in the golf.
It just feels so casual, itfeels better, it feels so
different, right, I don't knowwhy.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
You're like in a car, you're like it's not that much
different, but just, they have aseat belt.
Yeah, yeah, they have a seatbelt.
One time the batteries weren'tcharged enough and we made it
like almost all the way home andthen it was just like going so
slow, and so then I'm like I'mgonna get off and push because I
weigh the most right.
So I start pushing, we pushing,we have Emily, isaac and Hope,
(13:01):
and then push, push, push andthen, like we got to a downhill,
jump in, go on the downhill,let it go Get the uphill, pretty
cool.
And at the end Isaac and Hopeall were pushing and me and
Emily's just steering because weneeded something.
Oh my gosh that's funny.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Yeah, I don't, I don't know.
Like anytime I go camping,there's always people with the
golf cart.
I'm like, wow, that's, that'scommitment.
But yeah, I don't know.
I've never considered.
You know what, where I live, Idon't think would be a great
golf cart area, but where youlive for sure, everywhere.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Yeah, there's so many golf carts I don't agree.
Yeah, they're fun, so, yeah,interesting, I was.
Just I can't quite figure outit, I can't really figure out
why, but it is true it is better, right, like it's better just
jumping into a golf cart going.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, so vacationmode.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Oh boy, so that was a good, that was a good time.
So after dinner, janet, judyscott and I played some intense
games of euchre.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Judy gets vicious yes , yes, and you were her partner
and she, oh my gosh, she doesnot let you pull like you those.
I think those are still thingsthat you probably need to work
through in therapy, because youmake a mistake and judy is on
you like white on rice and thenjust like, why would you do that
?
And you were pretty experiencedfuture player because you just
(14:22):
come up a lot in this podcast,but she has years of experience,
years and years of playing well, I'm thinking that the first
time I ever played was probablyback in Michigan with her, so
she probably taught me how toplay.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
And then we've played it a lot in Atlantic City and
other places.
By this time, time-wise notvery experienced, but at this
point I knew the game prettywell.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Lots of games, lots of reps, lots of reps, so I knew
what I was doing.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
But man if you made a mistake, you wouldn't know
about it.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Or you didn't call it quick enough, or yeah, all of
those things, yeah exactly.
Crazy, exactly.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
That is the end of that day.
Just bliss, relaxation, warmth.
Should we go on to the next day?
The next day is Thanksgiving.
Oh, oh.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Wow, what does?
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Thanksgiving.
Look like on the road trip inEstero, florida vacation land.
Well, friends, let's find out.
It's day 59, thursday,thanksgiving, 11-25-04.
I woke up this morning and, ofcourse course, began watching
the Macy's parade.
Yeah, is that a tradition inyour household?
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Yeah, was it yours yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Uh, growing up?
Yes, uh, we.
We watch it a little sometimeshere and there nowadays, but not
always.
Have you been, um, still fun?
Have I been to the Rose paradenowadays, but not always.
Have you been still fun?
Those parade have I been to therose parade?
I have, yes, once as a kid, andthen I've also gone after the
rose parade, which I think isthe better to see strategy
(16:07):
floats they park all the floats,yeah, in this one high school,
I think and then you can go andlike walk and get real close to
them and see all the details ofhow they make these floats with
all the flowers.
It's spectacular, smellswonderful too.
Because you know roses, Irecommend it.
So after watching the Macy'sparade not the Rose Parade we
(16:32):
watched some football and theLions got their butts kicked.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
That's unusual, it's just typical, typical, typical.
But this year, guys, I'm pumped.
I know you're not a ball sportsperson, but, man, it's going to
be a great year.
It's going to be a great Lionsfootball year.
So Isaac is slowly getting intoit.
It's good.
It's all becoming more and morethe dream of sitting and
(16:56):
watching the football with thesun and cheering high-fiving.
Yeah, it's coming, man, it'scoming.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Good for you.
Good for you.
What would you do if he decidedhe liked a different team?
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Well, I just disown him like you do.
That's what the whole point offamily is, I see.
Put him out to pasture.
Although that is my certainchildren's personalities.
The classic story about Graceis the Lions have not been good
forever until recently and theyhad a national game and I was so
(17:28):
excited and I said, oh, grace,grace is like five, grace, the
Lions are playing on TV tonight.
They're actually on TV andshe's like, oh, who are they
playing against?
I'm like, oh, the DallasCowboys.
And she looks me right in theeyes oh, no, go Cowboys.
I'm like, wow, this explains alot about the next 50 years of
my life.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Why can't she let you have nice things?
I?
Speaker 1 (17:51):
don't know why she's a child, wow.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
That Because she's a child.
Wow, I have to sit her down andsay you know what?
Grace?
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Isaac, he has a lion's hat he's in.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
You're indoctrinating him, get him young, get him
young, yeah Well aside from thelion sucking, as usual we ate
some chips and dips that Janetand Judy prepared Again.
Let's go back to two days agonow, where we are just being.
(18:24):
We are just being pampered byWhoever can prove that they're
the most hospitable.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
I don't know if we were like playing them against
each other or they were justdoing it on their own.
But they're ready.
They're ready for that.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
They're ready.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Yeah, own, but they're ready, they're ready for
that.
They're ready.
Yeah, I said it was a very lazy, chauvinistic sort of morning,

sitting on a couch watchingfootball while these ladies
brought us chips and dip.
Oh, oh, we didn't know how goodwe had it yeah send your, send
your mail to uh F Hawkins atthat's not the way it is now.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
in my household, there's not a lot of chip
dipping, while women bring mecold beverages.

I thought so I have, I have something in my, I have
the right answer and I also havewhat I thought you were going
to say which could also arguablybe the right answer let me hear
it I thought you were going tosay spinach, artichoke dip.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
I love that so much too.
That's so good yeah I know andI, I, as you said that I felt
overwhelmed because all of theoptions came to my mind and I'm
like, yes, yes, yes, yes, likethere's not a dip that I looked
at and I'm like that with a chip, isn't that?
Speaker 2 (19:53):
I feel like there is one that is like the cheat code
of dip of dips, though you'regonna say seven layer dip,
aren't you.
I am going to say seven layerdip.
Yeah, I thought it hasguacamole, it has beans, it has
cheese, it has sour cream, ithas other layers yeah, yeah, I'm
gonna say that I knew that thatwas where you go and it's, it's
so solid.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
But, like you know, they just, uh, my mother-in-law
just bought, like this, uh,hatch chili dip from Costco
Great, I'm thinking.

(20:32):
is, pour it over, sure, oh.
I'm so dippable.
Like dips are so good.
