Speaker 1 (00:09):
About with the flat point? What dj Envy and Gee
are here New York Times best selling authors? You know
you're New York Times best selling authors.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
I'm not.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
You're not.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
We're national best sellers. We didn't make the list. They
didn't give us us a list.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
Yeah, we're national.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
You know that list is crazy.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
I know it's difficult.

Speaker 4 (00:27):
It's not only difficult, it's crazy because it be somebody
who will sell twenty thousand books first week and not
beyond it, and then somebody sell four thousand books and
beyond it.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
It's not about the numbers.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
It's not about the numbers.

Speaker 4 (00:39):
And then they don't really share how or why.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
There's a secret sauce in how they decide who was
in charge and what love to know, we.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
Actually outsold the person that was on the list a
couple of times in last year when we did Real Life,
Real Love, I think a couple of years ago, and
we way out sold them. But you know, did you
don't do it for that though?

Speaker 4 (00:56):
Did you piss somebody off on the breakfast club and
say something about the New York Times one day?

Speaker 1 (01:01):
And now you know what could have been baby? Could
it could have been your husband?

Speaker 3 (01:08):
No, it was successful. It was still a national bestseller,
so Amazing did exactly what I wanted it to do well.

Speaker 4 (01:13):
This is the second one, second go around. The first
one was more focused and getting on your marriage and
your relationship. And this is about the family, yes, and
raising childrens and being children's.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
In them and being parents.

Speaker 4 (01:27):
And you guys make it look like a book like
your Instagram page with these children in the magic outfits
all the time.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
It's really a beautiful family.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Thank you.

Speaker 4 (01:36):
It's a full time job for you to keep them
dressed the way you keep them dressed when they especially.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
When they were tiny.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
Yes, yes it is. But you know, people always ask
me why I do that, even with my big ones,
even with my twenty three year old, even with my
twenty one year old. I love the idea of looking
like a unit, you know, when we go out and
we all are color coordinated. It makes me feel a
sense of pride that this is my family, it's my squad. Yeah,

(02:02):
this is It's really.

Speaker 4 (02:03):
Cute too, and it really gets cute on Instagram. But
I always wonder, I'm like, because you know my Nico
and we're all.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
The same age.

Speaker 4 (02:08):
Yes, yes, I'm like, do I get Nico at twenty
one to wear he would look at me crazy.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
I don't know what I did wrong.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
That he would. You know what logan is. It is
one of those things. He was like, Ma, what you buy?
All right? My aware, fine, and.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
Just put what I have to wear on the bed.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
I think he probably knows he can't win that fight.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
No, it's not even a conversation. He's been conditioned since
a very young age.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
She knows herself all right. So what is the main
goal of this book? What is the main thing that
you hope people take away from this book?

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Well, similar to the first book, Real Life, Real Love,
there's so many things that we deal with with having
kids that people never discuss.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
Right.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
Yeah, I always say when babies come out, there's no
instruction manual. It's not like they give you the baby
instructure MANU what to do. So here is what we
do to make it work. We have six kids. We've
been married twenty four years, been together thirty one years.
Hour this is twenty three. Our youngest is three. So
we talk about everything from the sex talk to add ADHD,
to potty training, to just making and creating confident good

(03:01):
kids in the world. Get a breaking down better of
how do they.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Feel about you sharing all that information?

Speaker 3 (03:06):
You know, believe it or not. They never asked, what
do you mean? They never asked. I think that they
just inherently trust us to do what's right and to
keep them in mind. And we've had conversations just within
our house that because we share, we share a lot
in real life love. We shared everything, you know, things
that maybe we shouldn't.

Speaker 4 (03:25):
Have, but we I always wonder that when you shared
about the ten years of the faking the orgasms, I'm like,
that must haunt you because because it was a moment
for you to share that, but then it'll people don't
ever forget it the interview and by interviewing you poor Envy,
you're probably like, let it go.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
But even more so, they took it out of context.
I wasn't the long suffering wife that didn't have an
orgasm for ten years. I had an orgasm. We were
just talking about penetration through intercourse, and that's something that
most women experience. Game was good money, so I was
having and I was having regular orgasms, but most women

(04:05):
like my during intercourse, during intercourse, that would be something
that would come up for years, Like we haven't experienced
an orgasm with our husband or our boyfriend through intercourse.
So we thought that through a sense of community, through
a sense of sharing, and through a sense of just
being real and honest and transparent, this is something that
we can share because so many people will relate to it,

(04:26):
and then it becomes a headline, and then it becomes
a headline, and then the entire context isn't shared, so
it's like, oh, gie, it is this a poor thing?

Speaker 4 (04:35):
And somebody wants to snap on him in the comments section. Yeah,
and that has nothing to do with that, but we
laugh at it.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
We laugh at it because like, this is my baby,
this is the person that I've been with for thirty
one years. So nothing that anyone says on the outside
world can ever infiltrate. It can never breed insecurity or
make me feel some type of way or make him
feel some type of way. We know what it is,
and we shared that because we were trying to write
something of value and something that people can relate to

(05:04):
it connect with.

Speaker 4 (05:05):
I'm sure you got a lot of feedback from that book, right,
A lot of couples and.

Speaker 3 (05:09):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, I can't tell you how many
emails dms people that literally come up to me on
the street that say that that book helped to save
their marriage or their relationship, and they give testaments to
all the things that they related to and things that
they might have felt, but they didn't know how to
put into words, They didn't know how to piece together

(05:31):
in their mind. They didn't make the connections. But sometimes
when you read something, or when someone explained something to
you or put something to a certain way, everything comes
together and you have that epiphany, that aha moment, like wow,
now I get it. I felt all these feelings and
you know, I kind of knew, but now I get
it because someone put it in perspective for me. And

(05:51):
that's what we wanted to do with this book as well.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Do you feel like writing that book makes you closer?

Speaker 2 (05:55):
It did, absolutely.

Speaker 4 (05:56):
I would imagine it's like when you do therapy, right,
were forced to talk about your stuff, so then all
of a sudden you're closer, or you go through a
hard time and now you're closer because you went through something.
So writing a book and putting all that out it's
got to make you feel like.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Yes, yes, and then having to read it, because after
you know, write the book, then you have to go
and read it together and you have to relive everything,
the good and bad, all over again. So it absolutely
positively makes us closes.

Speaker 4 (06:18):
Good for you and me not being scared of that
because sometimes guys, oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Oh yeah, I wasn't scared. You know. You know what
helped me out a lot. The jokes was cool, but
what helped me out a lot with so many men
hit me and was like, yo, bro, I'm dealing with
the same thing, or women hit me like me and
my husband are dealing with the same thing. So of
course you got the jokes, and it is what it is.
I take jokes all day long. But when it comes
to that and we're actually helping people and people are
reading it saying, yo, you guys helped us, that's everything.

(06:42):
Same thing with this book when people are talking about yo,
I had the same issue with my son. I had
the same issue with my daughter. Oh we had the
same issue. And this is how I can try it
and it helps people, and that's what we want to
do at the end of the day.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
I love that.

Speaker 4 (06:54):
We were just talking yesterday we were on the air
live and we were talking about how you sometimes have
to in when envy gets tangled in.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
Not an entanglement, but you know what I mean.

Speaker 4 (07:06):
An entanglement with the breakfast club when something happens or
it gets spicy, because sometimes things get spicy and then
you're in the news and you're in shade room. Yeah,
and then you probably know it's coming before it's coming,
right like you probably, yeah.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
Because there's two different perspectives. When you're on the inside,
it looks and feels one way, and when you're on
the outside, it looks and feels a different way. So
a lot of times I have an outsider's perspective because
I wasn't in the room, and I can say, this
is what it looks like, this is what it feels like.
This is probably going to be the public takeaway, and
then we talk through that and it helps.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
Do you ever get mad at him for something he
says in the breakfast club?

Speaker 2 (07:39):
No?

Speaker 3 (07:40):
Never mad, No, never mad?

Speaker 1 (07:41):
Never shared you shared too much? Never that?

Speaker 3 (07:44):
No, no, no. I'm a sharer and I'm not a
very private person. And I believe that truth and value
is in honesty. You know, when you're honest, they're in transparent.
There's value there because you know we all share this
one life experience. And we all are from have ups
and downs. And when everything looks so shiny and perfect

(08:04):
and beautiful and well packaged, you know, it's very difficult
to relate to. It's very difficult to feel as though
you're a part of something greater that hurts the way
you heard, or that is sad the way that you said,
or that you're sad, or that feels the way that
you feel. So I like to touch and experience and
consume things that feel real, that feel authentic, that feel truthful.

(08:25):
So when he's giving an honest perspective and an honest moment, no,
I'm never mad. I might have an opinion, but that's
all it is. And he comes home and we talk
about it, and then we learn from it, and then
we move on.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
You got the right woman, oh man.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
I mean you did good in life.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
Yes, thank god. When I was sixteen and she was
fifteen and she was running track and I seen her
run by and amazing, you did good. I did great.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
But you really had to build this.

Speaker 4 (08:50):
This doesn't just happen just because you guys like you
had to go through some ups and downs before.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
We definitely did, and I think that's what made it
so close. Like everything wasn't hunky dory. Everything was was
a struggle and now we talked about it in the
first book, how I had insecurities and the things that
I had to go through. But it made us closer
and it helped us with with our kids too, because
we we don't have anything from our kids. We tell
our kids everything.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
That's because you said something good that Belt likes. To God,
I love to say something.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
So we tell them everything so that so they know
what we experience and that they don't think everything was just.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
All good transparency in the household.

Speaker 4 (09:23):
Yeah, sure, oh yeah, it builds trust, yeah, just because
we would just We'll get back to the book in
a second. But talking about Breakfast Club, and we were
talking about the situation that that Jess and Lauren got
into that you called him and said, or you spoke
to him at home and said.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
That that you know, when he uh spoke to Jess
about it on air, I said, you know, you might
have come off a little harsh. And it reminds me
of the way that you talk to Madison when you
know you're parenting her, when you know you really want
to drive home a lesson or you want to teach
her something. You're passionate, you're fabic, and your your heart

(10:02):
really pours out. That's what I saw. I recognize that
when you were talking to Jess. So that tells me
that you really care about that girl, You really want
to see her succeed, you really want to see her
take it that way.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
No, I understand that after she did, after she did,
But at first she thought I was all she her
was corny, and she thought I was calling her corny,
but actually I was saying I felt that when her
going on live was corny. And what I just told
her was like, yo, we love you. What you do
is amazing, Like what Lauren does is amazing, y'all in

(10:35):
two different lanes. Don't let those people online trick you
out of something that you do well. And I think
it took that moment and she got it and we
spoke after and we're great now. But I just don't
I hate when people follow those comments sometimes and you
read something because it could be a thousand great comment,
but that one bad comment is fixed with you. And

(10:56):
we got to get out of that, you know what
I mean, We have to get out of it.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
The devil is in the comments.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
Oh my god, there's always the devil.

Speaker 4 (11:02):
Even in the best post of life and the best comes,
there's always going to be a devil in there.

Speaker 3 (11:06):
Consider the source that you have to consider the source.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
But it's easy.

Speaker 4 (11:11):
And also they're they're new in this space and haven't
navigated We've had to navigate how many waters? How many
times have we navigated challenging waters on air? So we
know that, But for them, I think it was new.
I had a whole different perspective on it. I thought
they were both amazing, and especially when they got on
the that first day after when they first were like
arguing about it, not arguing, but like discussing it on

(11:32):
the air, I thought, how incredible is that to watch
two women figuring this out on live radio where people
are just getting to know them in this space, and
it was like an opportunity for both of them to
show who they were, to state their case, to stand
right in front of somebody who disagrees at you, Like,

(11:53):
what a beautiful thing for us as listeners and viewers
to be able to watch how they handled that. Even
in the real time, I was like, yes, is good.
Everybody was like freaking out, like internally, like and I
was like no, this is good because now we're more invested.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
In there in them.

Speaker 4 (12:08):
Now we've seen them get to the other side of something,
and honestly, they're probably the same way you guys.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
Go through stuff in your relationship and then you were
better on the other side.

Speaker 4 (12:15):
They're probably better on your show as a whole is
going to be better on the other side because you've
made it through a little storm.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
So people thought it was fake, and I was telling
people like, no, this is not fake. I'm like, this
is real.

Speaker 4 (12:25):
Somebody's always gonna think that. But because it was good,
that's why they thought it was fake. Yes, because it
was good. They were like, wait a minute, this is good.
I'm interest I like this. Oh maybe they did it
on purpose, right, they're not that smart.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
Guys fighting and all that.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
But they were able to work it out, which I
was proud of because I'm not gonna lie might have
my hand next to that dumpt button and have my
hand next to that that might but just in case.
But they got it and they worked it out.

Speaker 4 (12:50):
It gets the people going, I think it was great
and it worked out. It's probably interesting for you to
like be home and then he comes home and.

Speaker 3 (12:56):
You're Oh yeah, absolutely absolutely, but I think not to
what you said. It reflects real life. So there's something
to be said with, you know, family business being kept private,
But then there's also something to be said about it
being brought in a public forum and them having to
work it out amongst each other for everyone to see,
because it kind of shows people how it can be done.

(13:18):
You see, That's what I'm talking about. There's a value there.
You know. I was on a podcast on Decisions Decisions
the other day, I podcast, and they asked me a question.
There was something that I said, and the one of
the hosts said, have you ever said that before? Is
that like a tagline? I was like, no, I just
said it now, and it's that I love to collect
bad experiences.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
That's good. Yeah, that's your next book.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
You know, maybe, But it's true because when bad things happen,
you gain the experience, you gain the wisdom, you gain,
the lessons learned, you gain the insight, and you become
a better person. For you become a better mother or a
better wife, a better person at work. And that might
have been a bad experience. That was bad in that moment,
but think about out all that they have to gain
a relationship that they might not have been able to

(14:03):
see coming in the future for the two of them,
and a friendship and the sistership, a girlship. You know,
it's there's a lot of value there for sure. Yeah,
parenting is so tricky too.

Speaker 4 (14:13):
Like I think I saw a clip actually from that
part where you said what was more challenging for you
being a wife or being a mother?

Speaker 3 (14:20):
Yes, And you said a wife absolutely?

Speaker 2 (14:24):
Why?

Speaker 3 (14:24):
Yes, because being a mother is something that comes naturally
to so many women, just it's inherent within most of us.
So you do it without thinking. Being a wife, there's
a lot more involved. There's a lot more twist, twist
since hens, there's a lot more compromises, compromises, there's a

(14:46):
lot more thought with your kids. You're the boss exactly.
I'm not the boss of this man, and he is
not the boss of me. There are times that we
that we accept each other's influence. You know, I might
understand in a certain situation that his opinion might hold
stronger ground than mine, and I might concede and say,
you know, we're going to go with how you feel

(15:07):
about this in this particular situation, and he might do
the same for me. But we're not each other's bosses.
We respect each other because we both hold each other
in such a high regard. So it's very easy for
me to fall back and be submissive when the time
is appropriate because I respect him and I love him.
I adore him so much, you know so, and he

(15:29):
gives me the same respects, so it's easy. There's a
synergy between us.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
Do you think being a husband is harder than being
a father? Father's different. Father's different, because.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
I would say for me, it's being a father.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
It's harder.

Speaker 2 (15:42):
It is being hard for he is very simple. He
is very easy. The kids are everything. Like I have
to be a dance dad. I have to know soccer,
I have to know football, basketball. I have to sit
there and speak to every kid and give every kid
their own energy. Different, and I'm not patient. Gi is patient.
Gil can sit there for three hours and talk about

(16:05):
a kid and how they play GTA right, and Gil
will sound enthused and be into it. After five secs.
I'm like, yo, bro, I like call you a bigger brother.
I'm not into it. But it's difficult, Like even you know,
the other day I had to teach Jackson, which I'm
a bad father. For just joking and the teaching at
ten how to ride a bike. He should have been known,
but they have, they have gold cards, they have little motorcycles.

(16:29):
When he asked me how to ride a bike, I'm like, bro,
you don't know how to ride a bike? He was
like no. I was like, but I didn't even know
how to teach about like a hopper one pedaling and whatever.
I get on after falling like six times, he got
it though, But you know, it was one of those things.
But being a dad is way more difficult, especially with
the jobs that we have, Like we're always on, we're
always working, we're always seeing what's next. We always got

(16:51):
these job interviews or jobs to do, I should say,
and sometimes just shutting that down and just focusing on
the kids. That's the most difficult thing.

Speaker 4 (16:58):
So hard that just comes station recently on my podcast
is this with Lauren Ryding Girl. She was talking about
parenting and like, it's not your kids' jobs to pour
into you right, to fill your cup.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
It's our job to fill our kids cup.

Speaker 4 (17:11):
And you've got six cups to fill, yeah, but it's
not your kid's job to fill your cups. And how
heartbreaking that could be as a mother or as a parent,
because it's like letting.

Speaker 1 (17:21):
Go that has to happen. Did you have you experienced
you know what I mean, there's.

Speaker 3 (17:24):
Some like letting go. No, there's no letting go in
our house.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
I think so honest.

Speaker 3 (17:31):
My son, who's twenty one, he goes to the University
of Miami. He probably calls me about six or seven
times a day. I know, every aspect of every aspect
of his life.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
He facetimes three morning in the club. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (17:44):
He facetimes me from like look mom with fifty looks
like yeah club, Look I'm in a club.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
Take like look him in the club?

Speaker 4 (17:52):
A card?

Speaker 2 (17:53):
He said, what's up to?

Speaker 3 (17:53):
Like he'll plll me with his friends. He says pictures
like oh this and yet, oh Mom, I'm with so
and so. I'm gonna put you on FaceTime. I'm like, dude,
three in the morning, to not put Matthew on the phone.
I don't want to talk to anybody right now. Yeah,
but we're very, very close, So they're happy to not
be let go, you know, Like, and I'll give you

(18:16):
a little like even logan, like he wants desperately to
get a tattoo, Like he's wanted a tattoo for years,
and I told him, you're and this is this is me,
this is me. You guys might not agree, but I
don't want him to have a tattoo until he's a
little bit more grown, until he soul searches and he
knows what it is that he wants to permanently put

(18:38):
on his body that he has to look at for
the rest of his life. So I told him, like,
you're not going to get a tattoo until I say
it's okay.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
He was, oh, yeah, I got my tattoo eighteen. Didn't
even ask that.

Speaker 4 (18:49):
My kids, Niko been wanting him his whole life. So
I had to push, push, push till I got to eighteen.

Speaker 3 (18:55):
And I was like, all right, I told him, when
we decide on what it's going to be.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
Yeah, but that I went with Nico for the first
one we went together.

Speaker 3 (19:02):
Oh that's so nice.

Speaker 4 (19:03):
I got one from my accident. I got one here
and he got his. He got a small one here,
and I was like, great, it's perfect.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
It's small. That didn't lasten. Now he's got a wholesome.

Speaker 3 (19:12):
But I'm speaking from experience. So Sean has two tattoos
that he got when he was eighteen twenty two that
he had to cover because you're impulsive, you're not thinking
that far ahead, you're not thinking about the quality of
the tattoo artists. So no, I have to quarterback that
we got to make that decision together. And he listens
and he's amazed.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
The boss in the house.

Speaker 4 (19:32):
What is the number one best parenting advice in this book?

Speaker 3 (19:36):
Oh, there's a lot. Well, the first I would say,
the most valuable thing to me is to be genuinely
interested in your children and show that interest because that
translates to your children as love. You know, forget about
just children, man, women or child. You know, when you're

(19:58):
with someone and they're talking to you and you express
interest and you ask questions, your body language lets them
know that you're interested. The non verbal cues, the verbal cues,
actively listening, paying attention, putting your phone aside, and leaning
in and really absorbing what they're saying. That's how people
feel loved. That's how people know that you're there for them.

(20:19):
And that's what we do with our kids, well me
more so than him, him too, But I really am
very mindful of that because it's so easy to make
someone feel unimportant, and as though what they're saying doesn't matter,
or that their joke wasn't funny. You know, I don't
care if my kid's joke is trash, Like I'm gonna laugh,

(20:41):
you know what I mean, Because you could just see
a person light up from within when they feel paid
attention to. I think attention is the world's biggest drug.
It's the world's biggest drug. That's what everybody strives for,
attention from the people that they love. So it's very
important for me to give that to my kids.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
So beautiful, he said, she taught you how to be
a parent.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
Absolutely two different parenting styles. I'm more it's my way
or the highway. That's how I was raised. Like I
tell everybody, my dad's ex military and retired police officers,
so it's always do this, don't ask any questions. Gear
is always you know, well, mommy, why can't I go
to the mall? And usually it's because I said so.
But GI is like, well, you can't go to the

(21:22):
mall because it's a Friday night, and usually Friday night
the teens are there. When the teens are there, it
could get shot up, you could get into a fight.
So I want you to like. She explains everything I
don't like to explain. So I learned to start explaining
to the kids, start having those conversations, and they respected more,
they understand it more, and they trust you more when
you do. So that's one thing I would say I
learn from Gear.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
I mean, come on, he.

Speaker 3 (21:43):
Thought you did good.

Speaker 4 (21:45):
Beyonce has a line of her song which she's like,
she's been raised. She raised that man, Raise that man, said, she.

Speaker 2 (21:51):
Raised that man.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
You probably feel a little bit of that too, raised
this man.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
She raised this man.

Speaker 1 (22:03):
You raised that man.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
You raised that man.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
Good job, raise your children, raise that man.

Speaker 3 (22:11):
I got a little bit of experience.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
I got a little bit of experience, all right. So
where can people get this book? What do they need
to know?

Speaker 2 (22:19):
The book? Amazon dot Com. Of course, you can go
to Bonds and Nobles. Of course, we have the audible,
which we actually read ourselves. Now you're looking at the
back of the book. The back of the book is
a mission mission statement.

Speaker 1 (22:29):
I love this.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
By the way, it sounds corny to have a mission statement.
We don't have it hanging in our house where you
got to point to and read it every time you
come in. But we just wanted to create something that
as a family we always abide by, you know, And
and that's it. It's pretty much. Remember I'm an only child,
so I didn't have to go through any of these rules.
But it's you want to read it your yet, it's.

Speaker 1 (22:47):
So good you read it here.

Speaker 4 (22:49):
It is here. It is in the back from all
right when you get the book. In the back of
the book, there is a mission statement. Correct, it is
the Casey Crewe mission statement.

Speaker 2 (22:57):
That's right now.

Speaker 1 (22:58):
Feel free to use this, yes, in your own family
right now.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
It sounds it might sound corny. We don't have the
mission statement on you know when you walk in on
a frame and a crib. It's not like that.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
Okay, we don't have it. Tattoo.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
Yeah, no tattoo. But it's something that we always discuss and.

Speaker 3 (23:11):
Oll we all wrote it together when the kids were younger.
We made the mission statement. But this is the remixed
mission statement because in this one we involve the children
in the making of it. So their two centsor in
there as well.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
We are a unit. It's statement number One's there's number one.
We are a unit. We ride together. We are the
k C Crew. We call ourselves the k C Crew
Number two. We respect each other no matter what anybody's
going through. No matter what, if we get into an argument,
you must respect that one another. It's cool to not agree,
but we got to have respect. We always have each
other's back, whether it's in the playground, whether it's real life,

(23:48):
whether it's on social media. We ride for each other.
We always uplift each other and point out the good
in one another. Yes, so, no matter what. When our
daughters go to a dance competition, if one didn't get
first plot or one didn't get second prize, we always
say you did a good job. We talk about the
good what that person does, and then we help them
to make sure that they get first prize next time.

(24:08):
We represent each other at all times. If our kids
at your house, they better when those parents better say
your kid was amazing, he was respectful, he was nice,
he said hello, he looked me in my eyes were also.
The purpose of the Casey Crew is rooted in family, fun,
in faith. Whoa right as a family. We like to

(24:31):
have fun. We play monopoly, we play kickball, we jump
in the pool. We like to have fun, and we're
very competitive. We're very competitive, and it's all about faith.
Every morning before I leave to go to the breakfast club,
I pray with Gear. Every night before we go to sleep,
I pray with the whole family, and it's, you know,
thanking God for the things that we have, thank God
for health and for all the things that we want

(24:52):
in life. And the last one, which is the most important.
We are each other's soft place to land. So no
matter what happens in this world, good or bad, come
to Mommy, you can come to Daddy, you can come
to your brothers that we will hold you down and
not not look at you any other way.

Speaker 3 (25:07):
The no judgment zone, no judgment zones. What you do,
how bad you mess up, nothing, nothing that is always
come to us.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
Wow, what else, husband and wife.

Speaker 2 (25:30):

raise some good kids in this universe. That's all good people,
