I wasn't expecting that I was speaking more than one.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
Here's Dan yell and here we go, no podcast with
penguins love.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
Yes, that's good, Yes, yes, yeah, one of.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
The best penguin movies you've ever seen.

Speaker 4 (00:55):
I only watched the penguin movie in the dark in
my basement.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
Oh about They're all was good smiling.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
Oh my god.

Speaker 5 (01:03):
I saw the Feeding of the Penguins this weekend at
the Jenkinson's Aquarium.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
It was not a movie, not a movie, but it was.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
It's penguin related, it is, it's penguin adjacent. So how
are you t what brings you into our studio today?

Speaker 3 (01:15):
I have a question? Yes, okay for real? So did
you guys see the ending of ted Lasso?

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Yes? No, no, no, no, I.

Speaker 6 (01:22):
Didn't see it yet. And you can't mention it because
you'll ruin it.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Don't ruin it, don't get it. I won't ruin it.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
Then don't talk about it, but I want to.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
But something happened to me after I watched the movie.
I'm allowed to watch the series.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
I cried, you do you did it? That's okay, I
supposed to.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
But I've been feeling lately that I've been crying more
than usual.

Speaker 6 (01:46):
Your girls are getting older.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Something's happening. Yeah, I don't know what's happening to me more.
You're more emotional, You're in touch with your emotions.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
I feel like, you know, we've known you for years,
You've you cry a lot, but this is there's a
lot more going on now. I think I'm still clever
of doing this because you know what happened the other day,
I needed a friend.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
I don't know who to call.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
I really didn't because I needed to talk to someone
that could like relate with what I was going on and.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
Not married, not have kids, no good. Yeah, and Scary
has kind of a cold heart. Well right, he is exactly.
He has no patience for little kids and family talk.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
But like, I feel like when a man you know
gets to a certain age and then they start to
feel like they're manipulated getting older, you start to feel
like this weakness.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
But I don't want to be weak, and I want
to be strong.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
And this is a very good point, ye an older gentleman. Yes,
I think it's the opposite. I think being able to
show your emotions is a strength to being able to
show vulnerability is his strength totally. And you know what,
your younger years were spent trying to cover those things
up right and hide them.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
You can be you.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
You don't have You don't have to bow down to
anyone else's expectations of how you should react or act
or is on to anything that happens to you in life.
You just go with what you naturally feel. It sometimes
maybe a sign that maybe you do have some issues
you want to work on, right, right, right, that's okay, yes, okay,
at least you see the sign. When you're younger, you're
not allowed to see those signs because you're not allowing
yourself to show vulnerability.

Speaker 3 (03:15):
I got to tell you almost I think that you're
absolute correct, because I started thinking about it, like has
has my lifestyle of living, you know, wild and crazy
and fun, Like all of a sudden that was that
was being silly. Now everything's like this mature thing came
on and now I'm like Wow, I'm a man and
now I'm getting older, and now it all came back
to me and I'm thinking, Wow, like life just got

(03:36):
serious and it got scary, and now I'm frightened. Life
is still playful.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
Yeah, but I.

Speaker 6 (03:42):
Understand what you're coming from because your kids are around
the age of my rket and they're going to be
taking their next steps. Yeah, they're going to start leaving
and they're dating and their rights and it's a lot,
and emotionally it means so many things, and it's it's
very it's tough. You're excited about it and it's awesome,
but at the same time you're a mess.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
So question from Gandhi and Nate and scary Yeah, to
Gray Teas Yes, and Danielle and kids, yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
What will life be when you are totally empty nesting?
Have you thought that through or is it something you
should actually plan for or just let it have.

Speaker 6 (04:25):
I think I'm just gonna let it happen. Because Sheldon
keeps saying this to me, Hey, honey, look at this,
and he points to himself. I go, what, this is
what you're gonna be left with when they all leave
the house?

Speaker 1 (04:36):
All when I laugh, that's but we always talk about.

Speaker 6 (04:39):
Like other things we want to do and traveling and
you know, you.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
Know, a lot of things.

Speaker 6 (04:43):
So my mom says, there are different phases in life,
and you know, you start out single and having fun
or whatever, and then if you decide to get married
and have children, that's a totally different phase. And then
you're like this kind of like single living on your
own person again when the kids leave nest and she said,
it's that's totally different. So there's all these different stages,

(05:04):
and you know, I don't think you can plan for everything,
because life is what happens. When you make plans.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Well, with homean rent prices, I think the kids might
be with you longer.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
Yeah, I'm fine with that.

Speaker 6 (05:13):
If Spencer wants to come back home, yeah, you know
and live home for a while, I am absolutely fine
with that.

Speaker 7 (05:18):
I feel like my parents had a renaissance once we
got out of the house. They went everywhere, They did everything,
they lived their lives. They loved it, and they have
really not stopped. Yeah, my dad kind of has now,
But aside from that, they went, they did everything in
the world. So we were like, damn, you never took
us anywhere.

Speaker 5 (05:32):
What the hell Yeah, my parents have never been so
active in their lives after the three of us got
out of the house. Now now they travel everywhere. They're
always on vacation with their friends. They actually are living
their best lives now than they were, you know, fifteen
years ago.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
So Gregory, what's it going to be like when all
the girls are gone? I don't know. Marris in the
stately mansion suburban New Jersey.

Speaker 3 (05:53):
I think we just sell the house and downgrade and
just like go into like a condo and call it
a day.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
Why. Yeah, A lot of people do nothing wrong with that.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
Because I needed all these empty rooms and walk around
and with me like, I'll cry every time I see
these empty rooms. I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna think
back when everybody was when they were little and when the.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
House was alive, cry because you have no rooms.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
I can't believe this is this has happened to me,
Like how did life go by so damn fast?

Speaker 1 (06:19):
And now all of a sudden, it's like there you
I wanted to slow down. I want to go back
and get three more years. I need.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
I need like three years just to go back and
have like a moment again. It's unfair, dude, I don't.
I'm crying.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
You could join You could join me and your daughter's
at the bar. Drink.

Speaker 6 (06:44):
Everybody gets to.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
The bar, drink. Young girls are there too, there. I
just I just thank you.

Speaker 8 (06:59):
If he is buying Jada and all a drink at
the bar, it's really gonna be major problems.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
You're hanging up with Uncle scary. Oh my god, Uncle scary.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
No watching over them. It's just how come they haven't
invented a way to stop life from going so fast?

Speaker 1 (07:21):
They haven't? You know what, it's a good question, but
I mean it's not reality. It's not reality. You know what.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
As soon as you just buy into what's gonna happen anyway,
then you'll be much better off.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
I just always thought I was gonna do so. Okay,
I'm glad you said that you have. So how did you.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
Adjust to that? Like did you look yourself in the
mirror one day and be like it's okay? Like what
did you do? Tell me?

Speaker 2 (07:41):
Okay, what's the other choice? I mean, it's logical. I
have no choice. I can't stop the hands of time,
So I'm as well just kind of surf on it.
You know, this is the way it is. I'm loving it.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
I don't mind thinking about how I'm in the last
phase of my life basically, but like I'm approaching it anyway.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
We all had so many great time I'm so many
great moments, and like I'm not saying that we can't
still have those, but you I just missed them, and
I think, like I didn't stop and slow down for
a second, you know, And now it's like here it is,
and I don't want to.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
I don't I want to go back.

Speaker 4 (08:13):
But there's gonna be more great moment.

Speaker 7 (08:14):
Yeah, there's gonna be tons of cool stuff like watching
them graduate at their first job.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
Arguable a lived half lives.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
A hundred, right, Right, So look, you think back at
fifteen and went so fast, and now it's like, how
many more do you have? Really like, you can't go
back what you can enjoy every moment you have going
because you don't want to.

Speaker 6 (08:37):
What you're doing now is you're worried about everything I am.
So you're not enjoying anything I'm not. And then later
on in life you're gonna say, ship, why didn't I
enjoy it when I could have?

Speaker 7 (08:47):
I'm yourself right now, when your future, worrying about trying
to stop, you know, stop everything that's happening and go
back to the past.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
Yeah, And I just I can't figure that out. And
I can't say to myself like, oh my god, what happened.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
You're not alone in thinking this way. A lot of
people are. But this life that you're living is in
your head. You need to get out of your head.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
I know.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
I don't know how to do it.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
You figure that out. Hold on, you got to figure
it out. You need to get out of your head
and into the world. I'm out there. And so if
you croak tomorrow, you can say, ah, well I'm about today.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
I had a great day to day. It was great.
You need just day by day you'll be fine.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
I don't know, man, I I know that you're supposed
to be fine. I know there's so many things to
look forward to.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
I get it.

Speaker 5 (09:30):
I just want to go back and take years back
to the text messages that you texted me, a series
of them. The day after we went to the Blink
show it you were like, oh my god, I so
needed that last night.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
It took me back. We did a B and C.
I thought about all those times and you had a
great night. I did. I did. Why you live in
the moment. But yes, I tell everybody I'm just forty.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
Why you need to own age? Because that your age
is how old you are. There's nothing you can fifty two.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
I was born in nineteen eighty two. Yes, I was seven,
younger than eight. No tell you, but Elvis, think about this.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
You knew me when I was like a little tiny nothing,
And think about where did the time go.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
I'm fifty. Does that ever hit you?

Speaker 8 (10:21):
Like?

Speaker 1 (10:21):
Greg T is fifty, I'm almost sixty. Oh, I can't
do I will be sixty very soon. Okay, Greg, you
want three years? What if I told you that you
were only living to sixty, right, but now you get
to live to sixty three. Enjoy the time in front
of you. Man, I know that's trying to say. I
guess he's the same.

Speaker 7 (10:40):
You could always have more babies.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
I just never No, I can't be no. I mean,
I mean, cut my num my nuts are. I just
never thought the great t would be getting old.

Speaker 6 (10:51):
That's the probbody gets old.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
I know you want to get old yourself.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
He's thinking about himself in the third place.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
From Scotty B Scotty, what are your observations with this
right now, because you're kind of in the same.

Speaker 4 (11:06):
I mean, I'm kind of with him. You know when
I see my kids as they're getting older, and you know,
my older one has two more years and then she's
going to college, and it's just the thing that gets
me the most is I should not look at Facebook
memories that pop up every morning because I see my
kids when they're like two, three, four, And I saw
one from Oh my God. They were practicing for a
dance recital and Taylor Swift's Never Grow Up was behind it,

(11:28):
and I was bawling on the toilets, not pouring out
of my nose, and I just, I don't know. I
agree with Greg t that, you know, life is just
blowing by and you do have to enjoy every moment
of it. But I mean, it just it makes me
really sad that it has gone by so fast, you know.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
But then you gotta like move on. Life is blowing by,
whether you like it or not. I was gonna come
up tomorrow and it's gonna go down tomorrow night. There's
nothing you can do to stop as so enjoy the day.

Speaker 7 (11:55):
I just look at it.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
I just look at my girls.

Speaker 4 (11:57):
Every time I look at them, I just start tearing.

Speaker 6 (12:00):
I know, but I think that's part of I think
that's all part of it. I mean, I think you
have times with your families that you're having a great
time and blah blah blah, and then you look at
pictures and you go, holy ship, remember when they were
that little? And then you boil your eyes out. It's
all part of the process.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
So maybe we should look at pictures. Is that?

Speaker 3 (12:16):
No, make me do something naked. I gotta like be
like a kid again.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
You don't want to see that anymore.

Speaker 3 (12:23):
I want to pick stuff up with my ass like
I want to eat something, throw up. I want to
be running into walls.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
Yes, yes, do it.

Speaker 6 (12:33):
At the time you were doing those things, you said,
I can't do this anymore.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
I know, But now I want to go back. I
want you to throw darts at me.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
Come on, you do not You have a great life
ahead of you.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
Yes, come on, make me come on. We made a
good skirt steak.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
By the way, what we're talking about, these are all
things he has done on show.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
But it's done.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
It's done, and as soon as you buy into that,
then you're free to go live your life.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
We got to get out of here. Good luck to you,
Thank you, good luck Scotty Be. I need this moment.
Thank you. You guys are doing great. You're doing better
than you think, giving yourself some credit. Thank you. By bye,
