Speaker 1 (00:00):
Shannon and I.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
And you know this, by the way, if you're a
you know somebody that's that's listener, you are somebody that
is I'm sure dealt with the longest phone call.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Oh well, so I feel kind of bad about this.
There is a friend of mine who have and I love, love, love,
but I have not talked to her in forever, like
months and months, and she's been like texting me and
calling me and I am I am not mad at her.
There is no bad blood. I just know it's one
of those phone calls where I want to do a
really good catch up with her. So I keep bumping her,
(00:36):
like she'll call if I'm like dropping off the kids somewhere,
or she'll call if I'm getting ready for bed or
before I'm getting ready. It's never a good time. And
I'm like, okay, mental note, I need to call her back.
But I know the phone call is going to take
one hour two hours at least. So now I find
myself like avoiding the call because I'm like, oh, this
is not a good time and I really want time.
(00:57):
But I think she thinks that I'm like mad at
her or something. So are there those people in your
life that you're avoiding their phone call for whatever reason.
And this one, I feel like I just need to
tell her. I need ample time to do a good
like catch up with you, And every time she calls,
I need to.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Just call her.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (01:16):
Would it be better if you went out with her
because you could drink?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
She doesn't live here. She doesn't live here. Yeah, she
lives out a stag.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
That is actually interesting that you when you have those
friends that you cannot talk her. Yeah, you cannot just
have like a quick conversation with It becomes like alone.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
But it always feels good.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
It feels and I know I have so much to
talk to her about. And that's the thing. The more
I push it off, the more I'm like, oh god,
I I have a list. I'm not joking. I have
a notes list of things to talk to her about.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
You know, I wonder how many people feel like that
with me when I.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Well, you're not a quick phone call either. Maybe that's
even the better topic. I know that if you're calling me,
I'm at least on the phone for ten minutes.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Well, Chelsea says that people will go, hey, I gotta go,
I'll call you back, and.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
I go everyone in that, and I keep asking them
more things like I.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Won't let them go, or you'll hear something or someone
in the background and be like.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Oh, smooth, is that smooth?
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Let me talk to you Smith, I like, I have
to go.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Very Chelse hates when I call her up and she's
about ready to go to an appointment and she's like,
I just told you I have an appointment at whatever
time it is, and it's like a minute before and I'm.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Like, so, what else are we gonna do? Yeah, I
just keep on asking the questions.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Yeah, I gotta love a hate thing with my mom
because when you see that name pop up, or if
you have a contact fixture pop up, it's your mom.
You have a great relationship with her, very blessed to
be able to see that name still pop up. So
I answer every time it's just seven out out of
ten times, there's nothing.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
To talk about. So it's just her like, so what's
going on?
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Like you called me, I'm not trying to do this
conversation or I would have called you what.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Do we do already? I like when you do the
imitation of your mom, like Kev's like, what you're doing,
Kevy or she talk about something. I say it on
the show. You know you didn't have to say that.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Do you want to know what's so funny about moms?
Speaker 1 (03:11):
My mom?
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I don't know what it is about her lately, but
we my sister Jacqueline, and I feel like she tries
to get us off the phone as fast as she
possibly can. So now we have a game and Lucy
has joined in, and we try to just keep asking
questions to see who can keep her on the phone
the longest, because she'll she'll want to get off the
phone with you after like thirty seconds. Lucy's winning right
now at fourteen minutes and twenty five SCons.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Woah, that's amazing.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
And when you get a long one, you have to
document it, like on a piece of paper and screenshot
it to our little gird chat. Lucy's winning right now.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
That's by the way, that fourteen that's a big one.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
A minute twenty five seconds is the time to be Zach.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
What is a typical conversation length with my mom? If
it's a minute a minute?
Speaker 3 (03:54):
And then she's always like okay, bye, I'm like wait,
I still have a little stuff to tell you. But yeah,
Lucy's so smart. She'll write down questions. So the aston
is my mom answers. Once she goes to the next moment,
she goes.

live it. No, my best. It's a great way to
get your mind. Yes, lady that purchased it.

his mom. But ald on, Vicky, what's up, Vicky?

It's a minimum one hour? Who minimum?
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Aunt?
Speaker 5 (05:32):
My aunt? She lives out of state and she lives alone,
so phone calls, like I'm pretty sure are the highlight
of her.

Speaker 5 (05:43):
And I usually call her to be honest, when I'm
driving to see my daughter because it's a two and
a half hour drive.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
To her school.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Put her on the phone a little bit into the drive.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
And my sister Pat gets mad at me and my
brother Tony. You want to know why we call her
when we have long drives and she knows that that's
the only like she said to me, Uh, And I
said this to Tony too.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
I go, Tony, you gotta be careful of this. She
said to me.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
She goes, you only call me from your car, You
never call me at home.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
And I'm like, well, Pat, it's a long you know
what I mean.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
So I'll call her, like I'll call her if I
get in my car and I've got that hour drive
back home from work, or I'll call her like sometimes
if I'm driving to Nebraska and we have we have
all the time in the world to talk in the
middle of cornfields.

Switch gets mad, she gets she does not like.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
It that that she doesn't feel like she's a priority.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
She does not feel like she is.

And I gotta be honest, Pat, I prioritize you if
you would.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Make a shorter conversation, right aunts thing, isn't it time? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:55):
I think we should have a timer on our phone calls,
like you know how you know how you would be
on and uh back in the day that yeah, or
jail or like they used have payphones. Yeah, your call
is ending.
Speaker 1 (07:09):

to talk about his grandson for an hour, like I'll
have eight days about.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Me, heles, just like sit there and try.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
To drag out the call as long as you can.
Speaker 3 (07:24):

You know what's funny, I can't make fun of like
Shannon situation with grandma or yours with your dad with
you know grandpa, Like you can't make fun of that
whole thing.

Oh my son, my son, my son is named after him.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
My dad was a junior, but didn't give any of us.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
The name because they got too weren't worthy of it.
But I got his grandson in. That's cool.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Why don't you instead of calling us call him now,
