Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live across the world right now.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
This is the John Jay and Rich radio program.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
Already complaining me, welcome to the podcast.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
Oh yeah, do your do your things?

Speaker 1 (00:25):
You mean?

Speaker 3 (00:26):
Oh hold on, sorry, I was on Instagram.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
Huh, let's see.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
It's interesting.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
So Kyle shines like the morning sun. Her voice so smooth,
it's second to none. Scott's a jumper, loud and proud,
but they laugh and love above the crowd.

Speaker 3 (00:50):
Kyle's on air with the sweetest tone.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Scott's in the kitchen noise.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
A lee in his own love.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
The symphony of.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Highs and quirks together. It's magic how it all works.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 4 (01:07):
Okay, Okay, I think any of the podcasts, I think
we needed to preface that with what the hell are
people listening to?

Speaker 1 (01:14):
Happy upbeat jingle about beautiful Kyle who's a radio host
and her husband Scott, who chews loudly?

Speaker 4 (01:20):
He does chew loudly and chewing right now? So I
would say this is the John Jay and Rich couple's
therapy Kyle and Phish version or would you prefer Fish
and Kyle version? Doesn't matter, Ham and wham, that's more accurate. Okay,
And so Scott for a living is like a voice guy,
and so I thought, hey, what if we do something

(01:43):
different than all the other couples did. And we had
our own, our own jingle, and so you put it
through your little machine.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
Oh, Kyle shines like the morning sun. Her voice so smooth,
it second to none, Scot, it's a chomper.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
Loud and proud.

Speaker 4 (02:05):
Why a chomper? I feel like we need to change
the lyrics. The prompt needs work. It's making me sound
too innocent in all of this.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 4 (02:17):
So maybe we'll maybe we'll do a Maybe we'll do
a jingle next time, because it's not really now, try
one more, try a different prompt.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
HM expired, expire expired.

Speaker 4 (02:31):
I was like, we've got ads on our podcast. Wow,
we're really moving up in the world.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
I just think of that when the when the jingle
says Kyle's voice is beautiful.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
It's not though it's by it expired.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
How come you don't do Claudia anymore?

Speaker 3 (02:48):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (02:48):
I feel like most of my voices just were offensive
to people.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
So stopped doing is that?

Speaker 1 (02:53):
I mean you do them non stop at home?

Speaker 4 (02:56):
Well, they don't offend you do so well, I mean
stop with the crunching. Oh, no, do they offend you?

Speaker 3 (03:07):
I don't. Do they annoy you?

Speaker 4 (03:08):
Probably? I don't think they offend you. And sometimes I
do feel like sometimes it's kind of fun to annoy you.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
A little bit. Yes, you're very good at that.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
Thank you.

Speaker 4 (03:20):
Okay, do we want to answer some questions that we've
been asked?

Speaker 1 (03:24):
No, I think this is pretty good right here. Thanks everybody,
wrap it up.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
Thanks for joining us for our couple's therapy podcast.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
It's been riveting therapy podcast.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
Therapy. Oh remember when we used therapy.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Yeah, that was for one of the kids.

Speaker 4 (03:40):
One of our children was wetting the bed and we
didn't know what to do. And if you're listening and
your kid wets the bed, I highly recommend. It's literally
called therapy pee. And it worked wonders like it literally illuminated.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
The problem is that the thing that electrocuted your kids
if they if it.

Speaker 4 (04:01):
Got west, I couldn't we like it did have like
it had an alarm, but it wasn't like Jesus the alarm.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
It wasn't torture, no no.

Speaker 4 (04:10):
And it worked so and I think at that point
we were both at our wits end.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
With that situation.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
She went through months, years without that issue and then
it just switched.

Speaker 4 (04:21):
Well, it switched when we moved, and that, like everything
I was reading was that bed wedding can be a
problem when a big life change happens in kids.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
And so there, I mean, there we go.

Speaker 4 (04:30):
I did not mean to get into therapy on this podcast,
but I'm going to dive into some of these questions.
And the first one comes from an Instagram user by
the name of at Unfug and she's wondering why does
her husband never respond to the funny reels she sends him, Well,

(04:58):
could you maybe chew first and then the mouth noises?

Speaker 2 (05:01):
Babe?

Speaker 1 (05:02):
You send just a lot of them, and I think
you've sent so many, and most of them are about
conspiracy theories and those aren't funny.

Speaker 4 (05:12):
Well, you need to get on board. You need to
get on board with the chim trails. But okay, the
Earth is not flat. I send you chemtrail videos, I
don't send you flat earth theories.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
That's where you're headed, kim trails gateway to flat earther.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
Okay, so that's why.

Speaker 4 (05:32):
But I send you a lot of really funny golf
ones that I thought you would respond to and it's
it's my way of connecting with you, and you're just
not picking up what I put.

Speaker 3 (05:41):
You also do the same, So I never checked my message.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
Yeah, and that's not a question that was sent, is
why don't you answer my You're.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
Right, that was not question that was sent.

Speaker 4 (05:55):
Okay, So then I will say this is a good
one for you.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
Fish. How fish they.

Speaker 4 (06:03):
Feel about about fetish with Kyle or dive or died
in writing.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
It's interesting interesting and and bod odd and that's a
real real thing. I guess, I guess that's that's just
really just really weird.

Speaker 3 (06:17):
It's how did how do you feel about it? They
just feel like I feel like.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
It's weird, it's strange, strange. But here's here's how here's
how I mostly feel is that you're the cow and
the cow away.

Speaker 4 (06:29):
We learned today and today say that only that is
offensive term to cows two women.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
I didn't insinuate that women are cows.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
No, I know.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
It was a whole it was a whole break on
the air today.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
The woman had.

Speaker 4 (06:44):
Texted it and said that that phrase is offensive because
it insinuates that the man owns the woman. But now
that we're acknowledging that we can use the modern version
of that phrase, which I have changed to what did
I say, why by the bus pass when you get
the ride for free?

Speaker 3 (07:05):
Thanks?

Speaker 4 (07:06):
So you because you've wanted me to monetize the foot
pictures with John Jay, Yes.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
And I I mean, you don't have to get all
weird and freaky and strange. But I think you are
missing an opportunity.

Speaker 4 (07:25):
And I just feel like that's a barrier in my
own head. And for whatever reason, I just feel like
when you monetize it, it makes it something different than.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
What it is right now. It's just fun.

Speaker 4 (07:37):
Haha, we're taking foot picks, no big whoop, and then
it turns into well so and so it's requesting this
for X amount of dollars, and it's like, I don't want.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
To be put in the position to say no.

Speaker 4 (07:47):
You say no, I know, I don't want. I don't
want that. Like I'm fine with what it is now.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
I don't want to monetize Queen PG.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
This is feet. I know, clean feet.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
I know since my husband telling me that I should
be making.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
Money, I think.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
That you already have blown through that this is something different,
even by just allowing pictures of your feet to be taken.

Speaker 3 (08:11):
No, I mean in my head.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
No, what do you think about this?

Speaker 2 (08:24):
Kyle's got a glow the sun cann outshine her, laughs
like a bell, sweet, like vintage one. She walks in
the world, does spin. Her husband stands there like the
forgotten twin.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
AI is really amazing, but sometimes it just why is AI?

Speaker 2 (08:47):
Like?

Speaker 3 (08:50):
What was the prompt on that one?

Speaker 4 (08:52):
I feel like AI is pretty amazing, but I also
feel like AI is all about the prompt, like whatever
you put in the prompt it or be very pointed.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
Yeah, AI is a very useful tool, but AI is
nothing without human beings.

Speaker 3 (09:08):
Yet, until you know, the robots take over.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
And send me something to my answer.

Speaker 4 (09:13):
They come here, they come here, watch out. Okay, question
number two while you're working on the next one. Because
that that that is not that's not an acceptable jingle
for us.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
Do you agree?

Speaker 2 (09:26):
Right?

Speaker 1 (09:26):
Yeah? Okay, we haven't hit one yet.

Speaker 4 (09:27):
Fish does Kyle's frugalness bother you?

Speaker 1 (09:32):
What does frugal mean? Again?

Speaker 2 (09:34):
How?

Speaker 3 (09:34):
I like a good deal?

Speaker 2 (09:36):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (09:36):
I like to I don't like to pay full price
for things if I don't have to.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
Yes, no, it doesn't bother me. But I think what
is interesting about it is your good dealness turns into
like the girl math thing. So recently, recently, I noticed
that you noticed that you stared a nine dollars at
the dollars dollar Store. So so here's here's where's your waller

(10:03):
store dollar Store? Thinking I'm saving money, you're saving money here,
and then one hundred and then a hundredaid dollars later,
You're not saving We're not spent one hundred. You spent
one hundred and ninety dollars at the dollar Store. Now,
I know, to be fair, you did gift cards and stuff.

Speaker 4 (10:16):
There is an asterisk there because I did buy three
fifty dollars gift cards for gifts that we needed to
And I was like, I actually didn't realize the dollar
Store had gift cards, and I thought I had seen
them in there before and I had never bought them.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
And I specifically was going.

Speaker 4 (10:33):
To go to Walgreens on my way home after I
hit up the dollar Store and I was in the
Dollar Store, I'm like.

Speaker 3 (10:39):
Ao, we got we got gift cards in here?

Speaker 5 (10:41):
Now?

Speaker 3 (10:42):
Did what I was like?

Speaker 4 (10:43):
Ayo, Hey, Ruben.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
Ruben's my dollar store friend.

Speaker 4 (10:45):
He works there, and he tells me when they are
loading up all the new stuff. So I feel like
I have an inn, but I just don't feel so.
My point was, is I actually only really spent forty
dollars at the dollar Store. One hundred and fifty dollars
would have been spent at Walgreens on gift cards, right,
Is that the girl, matthe you're talking about kind of?

Speaker 1 (11:07):
I mean it just I'm so used to you spending
money at the dollar Store than one hundred and ninety dollars.
I thought that's what you did at the dollar store.

Speaker 4 (11:16):
But one hundred and ninety dollars at the dollar Store
is a lot of stuff. That was probably a record
purchase at the dollar Store for me, but that's because
of the gift cards.

Speaker 3 (11:25):
It was only three items.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
So yeah, well, I appreciate that you are a saver
in certain ways because I'm the spender. You know what
the relationship.

Speaker 4 (11:37):
I feel like, in the very beginning of our relationship,
you were very much the spender and I was very
much the saver. And I feel like over time you
have become more of a saver.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
Yeah, I'm better you are. They say, what you can
train a man?

Speaker 3 (11:56):
Have I trained you to be? A saver.

Speaker 4 (11:58):
I think we have a good balance of like spending
money and enjoying life within our limits, and also starting
to be smart and saving, you know, for like the
future and stuff that's important.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
I spend money easily on myself, and you spend money
easily on other people.

Speaker 3 (12:20):
I like to buy gifts.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
Yeah, you're receiving gifts, and I may buying gifts for myself.

Speaker 4 (12:29):
That's your love language, buying gifts for yourself.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
Why are they all like.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
Kyle's gotta stop? A little twist your mind. She's got
the lass that leave you in bind. Her beauty shines
like the morning sun, cracking jokes, leaving nobody on sprung
feed in fame, is it hot or the World's of canvas?
She plays her part snapshots taken a curious faith, Kyle's legend,

(13:09):
Shake Camp, She's got.

Speaker 4 (13:12):
Where are you?

Speaker 1 (13:13):
And I took myself out of it.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
No, you need to make a song about you.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
I asked AI to sing a song about you taking
pictures of your feet. Oh, and it kind of messed on.

Speaker 4 (13:25):
I feel like if you do another one, it needs
to be more about you and maybe more about like
maybe you could make it about like how this is
the John Jay and Rich Couples Therapy podcast, you know,
and then maybe you could add, like all the other
couples like John Jay and Blake Rich and Stacey Deem
and Peyton, even Nick and Caitlin Grant and Caitlyn, Kyle

(13:45):
and Fish, you know, everybody's involved in this great thing.
And then maybe some of the other couples want to
use our jingle. But right now, none of the jingles.
I'm surprised if anyone sat through.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
Any of those jingles, you know. Sorry, No, it's okay, No,
it's not you, it's Ai.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
It's AI's fault.

Speaker 3 (14:03):
Okay, I'm gonna ask another question.

Speaker 4 (14:05):
Okay, Kyle and Fish, name your favorite thing about each
other and your least favorite thing about each other.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
Seems dangerous.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
My favorite thing about you is that you're beautiful, and
you are super talented and super funny. Those are three things.

Speaker 3 (14:28):
It's nice.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
My least favorite thing about you is that you can
tell when I'm uncomfortable with something, and you like to
push the limits on things like.

Speaker 3 (14:41):
That I do. Do you have an example one time
that I did that made you uncomfortable?

Speaker 1 (14:46):
Well, I am kind of a Everything has a place,
and I do things in my own way, in my manner. Take,
for instance, one of my hot buttons is my car,
and I always I grew up where my dad would say,

(15:07):
please don't do that because if it breaks, then I
have to spend money to fix that. And so like
rolling a window up down, up down, updown, updown, I'll
get on our kids for doing that. I think I
did that just last night. You did well, Kyle will
take that info, process it, and she will roll the
windows uptown uptown, uptown, uptown, and then give me that

(15:31):
face and laugh at me while I'm having a little situation.

Speaker 4 (15:35):
Because you make this face that's like it's happening, and
you can like see you physically get stressed out. But
it's like this, it's like a silly thing. It's not
like a serious I swept the small.

Speaker 1 (15:51):
Stuff, like like windows going up and down and up
and down, because can you imagine how expensive that be
to replace the motor on your car's window. Unnecessary. It's
supposed to stay up or it's supposed to go down.
If you want to stop in the middle, fine, but
it stops in the middle. It doesn't find its way

(16:13):
to the middle. A bunch of times down uptown.

Speaker 3 (16:15):
That's just an example.

Speaker 4 (16:17):
But yes, sometimes it's fun because when you get riled
up and you give me the it's happening face, it's
really funny.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
Right, So I feel like you do that a lot.

Speaker 4 (16:29):
It turns out that's your least favorite thing about me, which.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
Now, which is you know, I'll bring up when.

Speaker 4 (16:34):
I'm doing that least favorite thing happening now rule up.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
But I think that also sheds light on sh I'm
a pretty lucky guy. If that's my least favorite thing
about you, it could be that that's nice. You know
you always go to old town and you never come
home on Friday nights.

Speaker 3 (16:52):
Yeah, no, old town days are done.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
I know.

Speaker 3 (16:55):
Done for this girl. I did plenty of that.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
You had your time, the good.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
Old days, so to speak.

Speaker 4 (17:03):
Okay, so my favorite thing about you, my very favorite
thing about you that I really admire about you, is
your work ethic and when you put your mind to something,
you just do it.

Speaker 3 (17:16):
You just do it.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
I get obsessed with it.

Speaker 4 (17:18):
You get obsessed with it, and you become like a
master in that crowd.

Speaker 1 (17:22):
That's what you hate about it.

Speaker 4 (17:24):
No, I mean sometimes I do get annoyed because, like
I want to spend time with you, and like, you
work from home, so it's hard to pull you away
from your work sometimes. I mean remember, like I don't
even know how long ago it was ten years ago
where I was like, I get it, you're working from
home now, but work is done at five, so you
have to come be with us, Like I want to
spend time with you because we used to work together,

(17:45):
so I used.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
To see you all the time, like at work and
then at home.

Speaker 4 (17:48):
And I thought, before we were even an item, I
thought that would be so annoying to me to see
my spouse that much.

Speaker 3 (17:57):
And it didn't. It didn't annoy me. Surprised me. It
surprised me that I didn't get annoyed.

Speaker 4 (18:04):
And that was one thing that was like my favorite
thing about you, that you were there all the time,
and I liked that.

Speaker 1 (18:10):
Flashback to when you wouldn't allow me in your sight
for two days of the.

Speaker 3 (18:15):
Week, Well that changed.

Speaker 4 (18:17):
That's while we were dating. He's saying this because while
we were dating, I.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
You invited me to spend a lot of time at
your house.

Speaker 4 (18:27):
Yeah, but I like needed regret time. I desperately needed
alone time, and like it was a boundary that had
to be set otherwise I was going to get the
ick and I was going to get so annoyed that
I knew we wouldn't be a thing anymore, and I
didn't want that to happen. But I had gotten to
a frustrated point to where you called me on the
ponet and asked me if you if I had plans,

(18:51):
if you could come over, and I was like, no,
I think I'm just going to chill at home alone tonight.
And You're like, well, do you have any filters that
need to be replaced? I was like, no, I don't.
Do you have any trash that needs to be taken out?
I can't remember. You asked me like something like five
different things, and.

Speaker 3 (19:07):
I was like, I don't want to come over to
do any of that, so I just want to be
by myself. And so it wasn't the best delivery.

Speaker 4 (19:14):
Thank you for your patience with that, but it was
a boundary that was necessary to get to the point
where I wanted you around all the time, and now
I don't have.

Speaker 3 (19:22):
You around it enough.

Speaker 4 (19:23):
So that is all part of my favorite thing about you,
my least favorite thing about you. Well, I have other
favorite things too, but you did three, so I'm going
to do a couple more so. My other favorite thing
about you is how how you have grown in your
faith recently. I love how close you are getting with God,

(19:47):
and I love how you're just becoming like a spiritual
leader in our relationship. And I think that's something that
I've always dreamed about, and don't you know, like on
the radio, we don't really talk about that kind of stuff.
It just doesn't ever really come up. And I really
love that and admire.

Speaker 3 (20:02):
That about you.

Speaker 4 (20:03):
That's, you know, a real favorite thing that's new new
were I mean, I always knew you had like really
strong faith, but you know, recently, like we've been going
to Sun Valley a lot and we love that church
and all the things. So that's that's another one of
my very favorite things about you.

Speaker 3 (20:17):
And you're just fun to be around.

Speaker 4 (20:19):
When when you're fun to be around, When you're not
fun to be around, that's my least favorite thing about you.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
And that can be it's not one reason that I'm
not fine. It could be a thousand reasons. And I
think everybody's kind of well, that's that's not true. No
one's seen your face is enough or heard you enough
when you get annoyed because you're a very happy person.
You're very bright. Yeah, you're you're looking at this all

(20:49):
wrong kind of person on the radio. But boy, you
flip a switch and your face changes, and you know,
and our kids are learning this quickly that you give
mommy space and you shape up, or mommy is gonna
unleash on you. And yeah, I.

Speaker 4 (21:08):
Mean, there's only so long you can hold it in
when you ask someone to do something a thousand times.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
It happened just a couple of nights ago. So I was,
I was on a golf trip with buddies. Recently got
home and you know, I was gone for what four
days or so, and you were holding down the house.
And you can tell that when I get home, I'm
exhausted and you're way more exhausted, and you're done. So

(21:36):
something happened, something silly happened with the kids, and you disappeared.
You pulled to me and you disappeared, and you went
out to the garage. And Easton comes to me and says, Daddy,
mommy's lying down in her car. Is everything okay, buddy, buddy,

(21:59):
she just needs a little time. Just give her a
little time. Yeah, bit she's in the crutch and she's
lying down. Yep, Mommy's gonna just need some time to
get away. Probably turn up some really loud music, listen
to some Enya, and.

Speaker 4 (22:12):
You literally can't go anywhere and be by myself in
this house. I just needed a moment alone, see just
one minute.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
But the visual is great. You know how sometimes car
seats you've got the lever and it'll go down fast.
Yours is like electronic, so you probably pressed the button.

Speaker 3 (22:29):
It was slow, and I.

Speaker 4 (22:32):
Wasn't even like, you know, feeling like when you're when
you're laying down in one of those chairs. It's like
do I sit up and then fully lay down once
it's down, or do I just lay down and let it.

Speaker 3 (22:42):
Slowly lower me. I just let it slowly lower me.

Speaker 4 (22:46):
And I thought that I was actually going to put
music on like you said, and I was like, I
just need to sit in silence right now because I'm
irrationally irritated and I don't want to blow up on everyone,
and I just need to be by my self.

Speaker 3 (23:01):
And I can't be by myself anywhere. No matter where
I would have gone in the house, they always find me.
They find me anywhere I am, but you're right.

Speaker 4 (23:13):
I do try to be positive, but sometimes parenting can
be frustrating, and I do get annoyed with you in
those moments where you get back from a trip where
you're like all refreshed and like, don't just jump in
and start doing things like I just need you to

(23:34):
read my mind sometimes, that's all.

Speaker 3 (23:35):
I just need you to read my mind sometimes. Is
that that difficult to do?

Speaker 1 (23:41):
You're an adventure and I love it.

Speaker 4 (23:44):
You don't love it. Oh, I'm an adventurer. I thought
you were saying I like adventures.

Speaker 1 (23:50):
Now you're living with you as an adventure.

Speaker 3 (23:52):
Okay, thanks, thanks?

Speaker 4 (23:54):
Next question, By the way, Scott doesn't like adventures? No, No,
I do like adventures, and I feel like that's a
good balance.

Speaker 3 (24:03):
I bring a little adventure out of you.

Speaker 4 (24:05):
Maybe, Okay, hold on, xed out where are the quest chens?
I thought this one was interesting because I didn't think
anybody really cared to hear about this or know about
this or or whatever. But also there's a definite reason
why the question is step parenting. How come it isn't
something you talk about? Why don't you ever talk about

(24:28):
Scott's kiddos slash Kyle's bonus kiddos.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
Because not all parties involved one. They're stuff on blast,
simple as that.

Speaker 3 (24:42):
I think.

Speaker 4 (24:42):
Yeah, I respect that was a request that was making
doesn't want very early on in our relationship, and out
of respect to that request, I've kept the chatter about
it to a minimum for a long time.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
You'd put little smiley faces over the pick sure the
kids pictures.

Speaker 4 (25:01):
I wasn't allowed to post them on Instagram, and so
you know, there were special moments that I still wanted
to post, but then then I'd have to put little
smiley faces over their faces or whatever.

Speaker 3 (25:11):
They're great kids. I love them. Step parenting is hard.

Speaker 4 (25:15):
I do feel like, you know, I could probably talk
more about it now than when it was in the
moment because the kids are now adults there, and I
don't talk about it a lot now because there isn't
a lot of step parenting involved at this point. Like so,
my bonus daughter is twenty four and my bonus son's
twenty one, so there's not a lot of step parenting

(25:39):
involvement at this point, which is why it never really
just comes up naturally, I think, and the stories of
going through the beginning.

Speaker 3 (25:47):
Parts of step parenting.

Speaker 4 (25:50):
Were held back because that wasn't something that Yeah, that
was fine.

Speaker 3 (25:55):
I was allowed to talk about it.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
That's fine. Tell everybody what you heard me over what
I said to your dad recently.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
Oh that really annoyed me.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
Yeah, but I think it was taken out of context.

Speaker 4 (26:07):
But I got it right right like I did overhear
what I overheard.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
I kind of have this, you said.

Speaker 4 (26:14):
I wait, I just want to finish the step parenting
thing and just say, like, bonus, kids are amazing, because
if I think how.

Speaker 3 (26:23):
Much they teach you.

Speaker 4 (26:24):
But if you want to know how I feel about
step parenting, I think it's a thousand million times harder
than actual parenting because of the boundaries of like, I
know that you have a loving mother that knows what
she's doing, and I don't want to overstep boundaries there
by trying to be your mom. But at the same time,

(26:45):
I need you to know that I'm an authority figure,
and at the same time, I also want you to
know I'm here and I want to have fun with
you and love you and be there for you.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
If you need to talk about anything, you.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
Just need to let her go in her car and
lie down.

Speaker 3 (26:57):
And sometimes I'm going to need to go be.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
By lie down.

Speaker 3 (27:00):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (27:02):
Yeah, So the thing that I overheard you say to
my dad that was ridiculous because Scott has already He's
in his second round, right, he's done. It's the second
round of you with young kids, our two kids, Addie
and Easton, and we were in the backyard. My dad
was staying with us for a week and we were

(27:23):
in the backyard, just got finished eating dinner. I'm playing
baseball with Easton and we're, you know, doing the whole thing.

Speaker 3 (27:30):
We're running around the bases, and.

Speaker 4 (27:33):
I overhear this fool say to my dad, I already
did this one, so I just let her do all
this type of stuff. I was like, excu yeah, hows
me Hillary Rudham Clinton like what.

Speaker 3 (27:49):
I didn't say anything.

Speaker 4 (27:50):
I just locked it in for a while, and then
I brought it up to you the other day and
I'm like, listen, I need you to be involved right now.

Speaker 3 (27:58):
I know you've already done this before and you're on
round two, but these kids need you to. So how
did I take that out of context?

Speaker 1 (28:07):
Your dad is a fun loving kind of guy, sure is,
and he's hilarious. Yeah, your dad's really fun to hang
out with too, And we probably had a horrible michelob
ultra together, and I was being jovial. Now I get
that in the moment, you may feel like that's accurate,

(28:28):
and there's a little bit of me that's like, yeah,
I kind of been through this, And my overall thing
is I know that everything's going to turn out okay.
And if I'm not at the same level highthness of
alarm that you are about certain circumstances, it doesn't look good.

(28:49):
But I've already been through this and I know things
turn out okay. It's gonna be all right. But that
comes across the wrong way sometimes, and I think what
you missed? After I said yeah, let her do all this,
you turned around feeming.

Speaker 3 (29:02):
Mad, and you didn't know I heard you.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
I hit your dad in his arm. It was like, right,
it was jovial. He's been through this kind of a
similar situation.

Speaker 3 (29:16):
Too, Yeah, yeah, similar, dish, similar, We.

Speaker 1 (29:20):
Relate, We relate, But I you know, I can always
learn from situations and I could be better. I'll be
better next time someone you are hurt me.

Speaker 4 (29:31):
You are You're such a good dad that I think,
like often I think I'm a little spoiled with you
because you're such a good dad. I expect more all
the time, no matter what. So like the moments that
I see you share with the kids, it's like they
adore you, they love you so much. And the moments

(29:55):
I see you after work when you're totally exhausted and
you just I know it's because you just want to decompress.
But you're on your phone looking at Instagram or scrolling
through whatever, and I really want to say, hey.

Speaker 3 (30:08):
Ahole, look up, we're the people in your life. I
get it. You just need to decompress.

Speaker 4 (30:14):
Like you have incredibly stressful jobs, businesses that you run,
and I understand it. But it's because of the moments
that you do so well with the kids that it's
like I want more of that, and I think they
do too, And so I'm like, come on, man, that's nice.

Speaker 3 (30:33):
It was a it was a nice end.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
Mean be present nice?

Speaker 3 (30:37):
Was this our new one?

Speaker 1 (30:38):
No? Well, hold on, hold on, sorry, I wanted to
take that back. Here we go. It's the Scott and
Kyle Podcast. iHeart review. Thanks for listening. Walking up the ramp, bam, can.

Speaker 6 (30:58):
I God is with his bear two hands like your
d Carrie dreams that he helped me.

Speaker 1 (31:08):
Clan said, Kyle.

Speaker 6 (31:12):
Taught me how to stand tall in the range infinite
love without the strain, without a strain cals.

Speaker 5 (31:26):
He's the heat, the quiet night, standing, steady, fading night.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
That's the closest one we've had so far.

Speaker 4 (31:39):
I feel like we need like a more upbeat, like
we need like a rap version or something like.

Speaker 3 (31:45):
It's a little too emo.

Speaker 1 (31:46):
You know, it's pretty emotional when you talk about my greatness.

Speaker 3 (31:53):
Stupid too, It's stupid, Okay. I feel like people have
had enough of us right now?

Speaker 2 (31:59):
Do you that?

Speaker 3 (32:00):
Can we get a rap version to close this out?

Speaker 1 (32:02):
But I really thought that there would be questions about
Adam Levine.

Speaker 4 (32:05):
None, No questions about Adam Levian. Do you want a
question about Adam Levine?

Speaker 1 (32:10):
How?

Speaker 3 (32:11):
What are from user.

Speaker 1 (32:15):
From us?

Speaker 4 (32:16):
Adam LEVI three four, Adam Levine lover fish. How do
you feel about the whole Adam Levine's situation?

Speaker 1 (32:24):
Well, um, I think we should end the podcast right.

Speaker 3 (32:29):
That's for next time when someone actually asked about it.
Nobody cares. Nobody asked about it.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
Nobody cares. Okay, that should be the name of our podcast.
Nobody's going to care about this stuff.

Speaker 4 (32:38):
Nobody cares, but then you're putting out negativity and then
nobody actually does care.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
Actually, I've got a lot to say about mister Levine, but.

Speaker 3 (32:45):
That's for the next that's for the next one.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
Yeah, for another day.

Speaker 3 (32:48):
You've got an appointment you have to get to.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
I do Okay, I'm going to stretch lab and I'm
being stretched at twelve fifteen.

Speaker 3 (32:58):
And that's all they do is just stretch you.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
That's fantastic. Love it.

Speaker 3 (33:01):
He's loving it. Well, well, thank you so much, Ham,
thanks swam well go that's the end?

Speaker 2 (33:10):
Is that it?

Speaker 3 (33:11):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (33:11):
And I think we do like a version on intro
where it's like, hey, give me some up beat like
uh oh.

Speaker 3 (33:18):
No background music or something?

Speaker 2 (33:20):
Can we not do that?

Speaker 3 (33:21):
I don't know what music you can play has to
be licensed. We got in big trouble for having music
on the podcast.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
That's stupid.

Speaker 3 (33:28):
So in this podcast of the John Jay and Ridge
Cobbles Therapy, you will hear Fish and Kyle.
