Speaker 1 (00:00):
I want to start with Anna on this one. Here
Anna again. For some reason, Friday mornings is Anna's day
to like knew he was gonna say show no Friday.
You always look great, don't get me wrong, But Friday
mornings you always got like I'm like, oh my god,
she looks like she's like the executive vice president of something.
And then I think you looks so cute today. She's
(00:20):
always cute.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
It's cozy today, it's freezy.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
But if today we're Friday, would you have worn that
or would you be on coached?
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Want me to switch it up and dress up every day?
Speaker 1 (00:29):
And I have a I'm convinced, and I don't know
you very well. I'm gonna need to hire a private investigator.
I think you have a double life going on. I
think you're living a life where you have a different
occupation or something after the show on Friday, because you
kind of bolt out of here fairly quickly, and then
you bolt out of here dressed like your sales executive
(00:50):
or something. Are you do you have a job selling
those new residences over at the Hudson's Building.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
No, but Fridays are like then I finally have time
to think about things that aren't the radio, so like,
maybe I'll.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Go to brunch after.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Oh so you're y'all like hang out with my friends
during the week, I'm like asleep at eight pm.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Okay, so you're preparing yourself for post show hanging.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Out with friends activities.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Okay. By the way, is it bad that on Friday
sometimes I will find myself going out with friends still
wearing the outfit that I wore that morning. I don't
like to change. I don't like to change, Like I
think it's kind of weird. Like I uh, we went
out Friday night to Wilders for dinner and it was
a really really nice restaurant and Chelsea's like, are you
(01:36):
going to change? And I said to her, why do
I need to?
Speaker 2 (01:39):
I'm like, you kind of just sit here. I like
your exercise.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I mean, yeah, it's not like I were construction or
anything like that. And I got like dirt in my
fingernails or something like that. And she's like, but you're
wearing the same thing that you were earlier today.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
I'm like, that just means she didn't like what you
were wearing and she wanted you to change.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Probably did I changed. I ended up changing, but you know,
what's going on? So, and I heard that if the
job is coming in between you and your family right now, WHOA.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
I mean sort of.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
I'm having a little bit of guilt when it comes
to being present in my nephew's lives and just my
family's lives. So when I started this job, things picked
up significantly for me just having the radio stuff. It's
also boosted my TikTok stuff, and I've been very busy.
(02:26):
My parents for those of you who don't know, and
my nephews and sister live about an hour north of
where I live in Detroit, and they want to see
me all the time, which is nice to feel like
they want to see me. But I feel like I
have worked the past ten years to get to where
I am now and things are just starting to one
(02:47):
get fun where I get to do really cool things
that I want to do, but to do things that
I think will continue to further my career or help
me achieve even like higher level than where I'm at now.
All of this to say is that I haven't had
a lot of time for myself, let alone time to
(03:08):
spend with my family, and they live close enough to
where I feel obligated to go see them, but far
enough to where it takes a lot of time, right
to go just for like a dinner or something.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Are they saying something.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
They don't complain, but they make remarks about, oh, it's
been so long since we've seen you, Oh we miss you,
which I get it, but like I don't even have
a day for myself, let alone like time for that.
And recently I tried to go back and do like
a dinner with them, and for context, we wake up.
(03:46):
I wake up around four am, the dinner was at
seven pm. I did not have a chance to even
go home and nap because right after the show, I
had TikTok meetings. I had this, I had that. I
get there and I'm very quiet, and everyone's like, Anna's
in a bad mood. Anna's quiet and a sad Anna's this,
and I'm like, no, Anna's tired, and they're like, why
why don't you nap?
Speaker 2 (04:03):
And I'm like, I don't have time to nap.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yeah, Like I just don't. I don't even feel like
how often do you see them? So give me a
kind of perspective. You've been on the show for a
short time, but how often since you started working on
the show. Are you going out to visit them?
Speaker 3 (04:16):
I used to go once a week, every Sunday, and
now I probably haven't seen them in a month.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
And I really feel bad when it comes to my
nephews because I want them at my niece.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
I want they ever come to you so that you
don't have to drive.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Yeah, so my mom will like come to Eastern Market
now and then, which is nice. Yeah, it's just something
that I'm struggling with. And I was talking to my
cousin and he said, it's almost like when it comes
to Thanksgiving or something, we're gonna have a couple of
days off. I should take those full days to be
so present with them and enjoy that and like not
(04:49):
stress as much about going home every other weekend or
this or that, and just like invest myself into like
certain times. I don't know if that's the solution, but
I know all of you have insanely busy lives too,
So give me some advice, please.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Oh, I will tell you my kids never come home. No, no,
but Luke is away at Michigan State. I don't think
he comes. Luke actually want air. Crazy thing. Luke went
to yesterday and he went to his Buddy's house in Oakhurst,
which is in Clarkston from Michigan State, to watch the
football game, and we live like another twenty minutes away.
(05:27):
But I said to Chelsea, go, I was a little
disappointed when and she goes, he's having fun. Let him
have fun. Like Chelsea understands that, but don't you you also,
what do you think chanting how often should you have
to see your family?
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Well, I don't know that there should be a how
often should you have to see your family? It is
it's hard, and I feel like there's always guilt. So
I have a sister who lives out of state, my
middle sister. I have a sister who lives like ten
minutes from me. My mom lives ten minutes from me,
and my dad and my stepmom live in Allen Park.
They're like thirty minutes away. And my schedule is nutty
(06:01):
in this season of my life with work, with kids, stuff,
just with all of it, and so I'm always feeling
guilty for not spending enough time with especially my mom.
That's something I'm really struggling with right now. And I'm
finding that the solution for me is to invite them
to stuff. Like yesterday, I got to see my dad
and my stepmom because I invited them to the kids
(06:23):
swim meet, where there wasn't time in my day to
go down there and have dinner or whatever. But so
I try, I try really hard to do those sorts
of things to incorporate them so they get to see me,
they get to see the kids. But I do think
that amid all of the busy, it is important you
have an opportunity. Your family does a Sunday dinner, that's
(06:45):
such a great opportunity to like throw it on your
calendar one, one Sunday one and really make it the priority.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Not every Sunday, not every Sunday.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
I'm saying one Sunday, Like throw it on your calendar
right now for the next two or three months and
be like this is this is protected space, especially because,
like West tells me this all the time, my husband's
mom and dad are not here anymore. They've passed away,
and he's like, you don't understand how lucky you are.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Make time. Make the time.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
The weekends for me are also like so busy with TikTok,
Like yesterday I was doing stuff with the Red Wings
all day, So it's like even then I feel like
I just don't have the time.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
If they died, who's getting all the money? Did your
sister or are you going to get any of the
money in the world My nephews for sure, your nephews
getting well, then you better start going to some of this.
I don't know. Let me grab Justin and then I
want to get Kev's perspective. Justin, what'd you want to
say to Anna?
Speaker 5 (07:38):
I just wanted to say, you know, she's a great
addition to the show.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
I love her.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
But you know, I don't like to get dark in
the morning because you guys are always talking about you know,
cool awesome, funny things. But you know, my my best
friend's dad just passed. My other friends that passed, you know,
like three weeks later. You know, there's always time for family.
You know. I don't like this sounds kind of like me,
but you're just making excuses. You know, I'm super busy,
(08:04):
but there's always ten minutes. Even if it's ten minutes.
You know, even if the drives forty five minutes, you
can stay for fifteen.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
It's worth it.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
You know, you have your parents, you have your family,
but make sure that you know you see them as
much as you can.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Think it's wonderful too. Money justin, I can always do that.
I think it's she gotta pay bills though, you know
what I mean. Like it's not like she's making money
and in getting rich. I mean she's also you know,
trying to pay the bills and things too. But justin,
I like how you went right to the death part
of the whole thing. That's you know, where you're like, hey.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
You know it's I gotta be I gotta be direct.
You know it's because family is, you know, the most
important thing, I believe, And you can always make time.
And I understand she's busy and she's doing great things,
but you know, always make time for your mom and
dad and you're not views because always remember the times
that you were there there. You know. That's you've got
to make quality time. You know it doesn't have to
(08:56):
be a lot of time, but quality time.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
What do you think?
Speaker 6 (08:59):
What do you think it's a lot. We've all heard
you can't pour from an empty cup. So I'm a
firm believer if you have to take care of yourself,
because even when you do have those opportunities to be
around the people you love, you won't be able to
be fully present because you're running on an empty tank.
I also like to say that you know, a lack
of communication leads to imagination. Sometimes people just don't understand
(09:22):
how busy you are and what doing TikTok actually takes
from you from an energy perspective. So I think also
communicating the reality of how you feel, how it's making
you feel, will help ease some of those well why
aren't you here? You can't just take it, well, this
is why, and actually opening it up the book and
showing them what it is you're actually doing. And then
I also say phone calls are okay. Sometimes people think,
(09:47):
well I just got to see them. It's not the same.
I try to call my mom, like my man was
just saying, maybe just five minutes, and sometimes just hearing
your voice closes that gap, closes that distance of feeling
like you're forty five minutes away.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Great advice.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
What's up, Jenna, him O, Joe, Good morning everyone, Good morrning.
Speaker 7 (10:07):
I have to agree with Kevin. Definitely can't pour from
an empty cup. And I feel like Anna is doing
what we all seem to do and just putting all
the pressure on ourselves, whereas we also need to ask
our loved ones to meet in the middle.
Speaker 8 (10:22):
Compromise.
Speaker 7 (10:23):
Maybe go to Sunday dinner once a month and then
maybe pick a weekday or a different day where you
guys can meet somewhere in the middle. Can come to you.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Yeah, yeah, don't you actually get together with your pops
too a lot.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Usually on Tuesdays at the casino. But he's been losing
so much he's not coming.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Oh really, Because I was going to say, because I
was gonna say, why don't they drive with Pops and
come down with him and hang out?
Speaker 7 (10:49):
I liked Jenna be something not so expensive.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Well, yeah, maybe let's tell Pops, so let's let's meet
at Let's meet a five guys instead of Pops. Need
to stop. Yeah, hold on a second. Diana is a
mom and she wants to come from a mom's perspective.
What's up, Diana?
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Hey, guys.
Speaker 9 (11:08):
Yeah, So, as a mom raising six kids age eighteen, sixteen, fifteen,
eleven and four and three nieces, nephew's cousins, I've lost aunt,
a grandmother. The compassion these days is what we want
from our kids, you know, like, if you're not doing
it from the heart as a mom, I know if
I have to call my kid and be like, hey,
come visit me, or hey, come have dinner with me,
(11:30):
if it's not from the heart, we can feel it, so,
you know, instead of it being a scheduled Sunday, Hey
pop in on a random Wednesday afternoon. I know you
don't have time, but it's just kind of it kind
of hurts as a mom when you know your kid
all of a sudden is there for you and times
are tough, rather than being there for you when times
(11:50):
are good, you know. So that's just yeah, that's just
my perspective.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Why can I say something, Diana, And I'm going to
speak for Chelsea on this one because I agree with you.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Chelsea.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Yeah, I had that perspective with my kids, and I
would get so pissed when Jacob or Luke or Joe
would come home and all they would do is sleep
all the time that they were home, or be up
in their room. And Chelsea said to me, she said,
you know, you want them to spend every waking minute
with you to make up time for them not being there.
But you understand it's their comfort of them being under
(12:20):
your roof that we gave them as parents when they
were younger that just having them, just having them in
our home is great. And I hate to say this, Anna,
she was right. And I saw that in the kids,
in your mom and sisters and you know, dad and everybody.
When you come home and honestly sleep on the couch,
I think it's beautiful because that just me.
Speaker 9 (12:42):
They come home and the refrigerator and be like, yeah,
eating your food. I'm like, oh my god, this makes
my heart so happy. So it's not the big things
like big dinners or scheduled events.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
It's those you're.
Speaker 9 (12:52):
Come or they come to your you come to your
room and they confiding and you're like, oh my god, this.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Is what is your room still in their house? Like
you still have a room decorated. Now what did they
do with your room when you were well?
Speaker 3 (13:03):
My grandparents just moved in, so says got sort of remodeled.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Okay, yeah, I uh. By the way, you really want
to get your parents not to be happy about you
coming home, do exactly what you're saying. Start shopping from
their fridge. I know you've done that.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Yeah, I need more stuff.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
To Miranda, what'd you want to say to Anna? Rob?
Speaker 7 (13:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (13:24):
Hi, I was listening in to one of the callers saying, Oh,
it shouldn't be a big deal to make the fifteen
twenty minute drive, even if it's only a ten minute stay.
But that's the whole point is we have busy lives.
Sometimes we don't have that time to take out of
our day and make the drive. And I don't think
she should be made to feel bad that she has
a busy life. Family is important, yes, but that's she's
seeking advice so that I just didn't like that, and
(13:46):
I just wanted.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
To tell her, don't feel bad.
Speaker 10 (13:48):
You will figure it out eventually, and you're doing a
good job with whatever time you're taking.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Have you ever hosted family dinner at your place?
Speaker 3 (13:56):
No, I have a very small apartment, but shoot, maybe
I will because that would actually be wonderful.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Like I I've been to Joe's apartment, Jacob, I've been
to his, but he's got like a lot of little
figurines all over the place and it's kind of wild
to me, But it would be wild to like, have
you say, Hey, what do you guys think about coming here?
And honestly, even like h order here because I do
think as a parent, I'm coming from a parent's perspective
(14:23):
in this one. As a parent, there's nothing more prideful
than seeing your kids doing good things, and honestly, that's
all you want. Like our job as parents is to
raise little birdies and let them fly.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
I'm being serious, and I know they're so proud of
everything that I'm doing right now, and I think that's
why they're They're not explicitly saying like why aren't you
coming home, but I can.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Just feel it. Yeah, I think it's funny. I never
really thought about how long my drive is to work
until she said it's an hour, and actually.
Speaker 8 (14:56):
I live not that far from It's not a bitch.
If I could do it every day. I'll give you
a ride to your parents' house. I'll pick you up
the next morning. That's like a long drive.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
It is a long drive, though when you think about
it an hour, like like I was thinking about East
Lansing as close as East Lancing is for me to
go to, you know, visit Luke, it's still an hour
ten twenty, you know what I mean. Day it's a commitment,
you know, and then then you're you got it at
least be there for a little bit of time. That
it's a commitment. Yeah, you're right, absolutely right. So if
(15:31):
Anna Rob's family wants to invite me over for Sunday dinner.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
I love you guys.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
If you're listening, I think it's sweet. I think it's
good that you mentioned this too on the air, because
I think that, honestly, next time you guys have your
little family affair and stuff like that with each other,
I think it's a good opportunity for you guys to
maybe pull out the calendar, like Shannon said, and schedule
some stuff together.
I want to start with Anna on this one. Here
Anna again. For some reason, Friday mornings is Anna's day
to like knew he was gonna say show no Friday.
You always look great, don't get me wrong, But Friday
mornings you always got like I'm like, oh my god,
she looks like she's like the executive vice president of something.
And then I think you looks so cute today. She's
(00:20):
always cute.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
It's cozy today, it's freezy.
Speaker 1 (00:23):

I have a sister who lives out of state, my
middle sister. I have a sister who lives like ten
minutes from me. My mom lives ten minutes from me,
and my dad and my stepmom live in Allen Park.
They're like thirty minutes away. And my schedule is nutty
(06:01):
in this season of my life with work, with kids, stuff,
just with all of it, and so I'm always feeling
guilty for not spending enough time with especially my mom.
That's something I'm really struggling with right now. And I'm
finding that the solution for me is to invite them
to stuff. Like yesterday, I got to see my dad
and my stepmom because I invited them to the kids
(06:23):
swim meet, where there wasn't time in my day to
go down there and have dinner or whatever. But so
I try, I try really hard to do those sorts
of things to incorporate them so they get to see me,
they get to see the kids. But I do think
that amid all of the busy, it is important you
have an opportunity. Your family does a Sunday dinner, that's
(06:45):
such a great opportunity to like throw it on your
calendar one, one Sunday one and really make it the priority.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Not every Sunday, not every Sunday.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
I'm saying one Sunday, Like throw it on your calendar
right now for the next two or three months and
be like this is this is protected space, especially because,
like West tells me this all the time, my husband's
mom and dad are not here anymore. They've passed away,
and he's like, you don't understand how lucky you are.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Make time. Make the time.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
The weekends for me are also like so busy with TikTok,
Like yesterday I was doing stuff with the Red Wings
all day, So it's like even then I feel like
I just don't have the time.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
If they died, who's getting all the money? Did your
sister or are you going to get any of the
money in the world My nephews for sure, your nephews
getting well, then you better start going to some of this.
I don't know. Let me grab Justin and then I
want to get Kev's perspective. Justin, what'd you want to
say to Anna?
Speaker 5 (07:38):
I just wanted to say, you know, she's a great
addition to the show.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
I love her.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
But you know, I don't like to get dark in
the morning because you guys are always talking about you know,
cool awesome, funny things. But you know, my my best
friend's dad just passed. My other friends that passed, you know,
like three weeks later. You know, there's always time for family.
You know. I don't like this sounds kind of like me,
but you're just making excuses. You know, I'm super busy,
(08:04):
but there's always ten minutes. Even if it's ten minutes.
You know, even if the drives forty five minutes, you
can stay for fifteen.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
It's worth it.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
You know, you have your parents, you have your family,
but make sure that you know you see them as
much as you can.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Think it's wonderful too. Money justin, I can always do that.
I think it's she gotta pay bills though, you know
what I mean. Like it's not like she's making money
and in getting rich. I mean she's also you know,
trying to pay the bills and things too. But justin,
I like how you went right to the death part
of the whole thing. That's you know, where you're like, hey.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
You know it's I gotta be I gotta be direct.
You know it's because family is, you know, the most
important thing, I believe, And you can always make time.
And I understand she's busy and she's doing great things,
but you know, always make time for your mom and
dad and you're not views because always remember the times
that you were there there. You know. That's you've got
to make quality time. You know it doesn't have to
(08:56):
be a lot of time, but quality time.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
What do you think?
Speaker 6 (08:59):
What do you think it's a lot. We've all heard
you can't pour from an empty cup. So I'm a
firm believer if you have to take care of yourself,
because even when you do have those opportunities to be
around the people you love, you won't be able to
be fully present because you're running on an empty tank.
I also like to say that you know, a lack
of communication leads to imagination. Sometimes people just don't understand
(09:22):
how busy you are and what doing TikTok actually takes
from you from an energy perspective. So I think also
communicating the reality of how you feel, how it's making
you feel, will help ease some of those well why
aren't you here? You can't just take it, well, this
is why, and actually opening it up the book and
showing them what it is you're actually doing. And then
I also say phone calls are okay. Sometimes people think,
(09:47):
well I just got to see them. It's not the same.
I try to call my mom, like my man was
just saying, maybe just five minutes, and sometimes just hearing
your voice closes that gap, closes that distance of feeling
like you're forty five minutes away.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Great advice.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
What's up, Jenna, him O, Joe, Good morning everyone, Good morrning.
Speaker 7 (10:07):
I have to agree with Kevin. Definitely can't pour from
an empty cup. And I feel like Anna is doing
what we all seem to do and just putting all
the pressure on ourselves, whereas we also need to ask
our loved ones to meet in the middle.
Speaker 8 (10:22):
Compromise.
Speaker 7 (10:23):
Maybe go to Sunday dinner once a month and then
maybe pick a weekday or a different day where you
guys can meet somewhere in the middle. Can come to you.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Yeah, yeah, don't you actually get together with your pops
too a lot.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Usually on Tuesdays at the casino. But he's been losing
so much he's not coming.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Oh really, Because I was going to say, because I
was gonna say, why don't they drive with Pops and
come down with him and hang out?
Speaker 7 (10:49):
I liked Jenna be something not so expensive.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Well, yeah, maybe let's tell Pops, so let's let's meet
at Let's meet a five guys instead of Pops. Need
to stop. Yeah, hold on a second. Diana is a
mom and she wants to come from a mom's perspective.
What's up, Diana?
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Hey, guys.
Speaker 9 (11:08):
Yeah, So, as a mom raising six kids age eighteen, sixteen, fifteen,
eleven and four and three nieces, nephew's cousins, I've lost aunt,
a grandmother. The compassion these days is what we want
from our kids, you know, like, if you're not doing
it from the heart as a mom, I know if
I have to call my kid and be like, hey,
come visit me, or hey, come have dinner with me,
(11:30):
if it's not from the heart, we can feel it, so,
you know, instead of it being a scheduled Sunday, Hey
pop in on a random Wednesday afternoon. I know you
don't have time, but it's just kind of it kind
of hurts as a mom when you know your kid
all of a sudden is there for you and times
are tough, rather than being there for you when times
(11:50):
are good, you know. So that's just yeah, that's just
my perspective.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Why can I say something, Diana, And I'm going to
speak for Chelsea on this one because I agree with you.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Chelsea.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Yeah, I had that perspective with my kids, and I
would get so pissed when Jacob or Luke or Joe
would come home and all they would do is sleep
all the time that they were home, or be up
in their room. And Chelsea said to me, she said,
you know, you want them to spend every waking minute
with you to make up time for them not being there.
But you understand it's their comfort of them being under
(12:20):
your roof that we gave them as parents when they
were younger that just having them, just having them in
our home is great. And I hate to say this, Anna,
she was right. And I saw that in the kids,
in your mom and sisters and you know, dad and everybody.
When you come home and honestly sleep on the couch,
I think it's beautiful because that just me.
Speaker 9 (12:42):
They come home and the refrigerator and be like, yeah,
eating your food. I'm like, oh my god, this makes
my heart so happy. So it's not the big things
like big dinners or scheduled events.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
It's those you're.
Speaker 9 (12:52):
Come or they come to your you come to your
room and they confiding and you're like, oh my god, this.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Is what is your room still in their house? Like
you still have a room decorated. Now what did they
do with your room when you were well?
Speaker 3 (13:03):
My grandparents just moved in, so says got sort of remodeled.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Okay, yeah, I uh. By the way, you really want
to get your parents not to be happy about you
coming home, do exactly what you're saying. Start shopping from
their fridge. I know you've done that.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Yeah, I need more stuff.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
To Miranda, what'd you want to say to Anna? Rob?
Speaker 7 (13:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (13:24):
Hi, I was listening in to one of the callers saying, Oh,
it shouldn't be a big deal to make the fifteen
twenty minute drive, even if it's only a ten minute stay.
But that's the whole point is we have busy lives.
Sometimes we don't have that time to take out of
our day and make the drive. And I don't think
she should be made to feel bad that she has
a busy life. Family is important, yes, but that's she's
seeking advice so that I just didn't like that, and
(13:46):
I just wanted.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
To tell her, don't feel bad.
Speaker 10 (13:48):
You will figure it out eventually, and you're doing a
good job with whatever time you're taking.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Have you ever hosted family dinner at your place?
Speaker 3 (13:56):
No, I have a very small apartment, but shoot, maybe
I will because that would actually be wonderful.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Like I I've been to Joe's apartment, Jacob, I've been
to his, but he's got like a lot of little
figurines all over the place and it's kind of wild
to me, But it would be wild to like, have
you say, Hey, what do you guys think about coming here?
And honestly, even like h order here because I do
think as a parent, I'm coming from a parent's perspective
(14:23):
in this one. As a parent, there's nothing more prideful
than seeing your kids doing good things, and honestly, that's
all you want. Like our job as parents is to
raise little birdies and let them fly.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
I'm being serious, and I know they're so proud of
everything that I'm doing right now, and I think that's
why they're They're not explicitly saying like why aren't you
coming home, but I can.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Just feel it. Yeah, I think it's funny. I never
really thought about how long my drive is to work
until she said it's an hour, and actually.
Speaker 8 (14:56):
I live not that far from It's not a bitch.
If I could do it every day. I'll give you
a ride to your parents' house. I'll pick you up
the next morning. That's like a long drive.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
It is a long drive, though when you think about
it an hour, like like I was thinking about East
Lansing as close as East Lancing is for me to
go to, you know, visit Luke, it's still an hour
ten twenty, you know what I mean. Day it's a commitment,
you know, and then then you're you got it at
least be there for a little bit of time. That
it's a commitment. Yeah, you're right, absolutely right. So if
(15:31):
Anna Rob's family wants to invite me over for Sunday dinner.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
I love you guys.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
If you're listening, I think it's sweet. I think it's
good that you mentioned this too on the air, because
I think that, honestly, next time you guys have your
little family affair and stuff like that with each other,
I think it's a good opportunity for you guys to
maybe pull out the calendar, like Shannon said, and schedule
some stuff together.
