Hot dogs, the cleaner weener.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
You need to talk about facts. I'm like, Okay, Riley,
what facts do we need to talk about?
Speaker 1 (00:09):
She's like that kid in facts. She actually wants to
know all the details about everything.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
She's just she's just like a little person, just a
tea tiny little adult. I'll ask you a question and
then you'll just stare at me. What's the answer from you?
And I'm like, tell me what you're telling yourself in
your head. I want to hear it. I want to
hear what's inside there, because I know you're thinking of
what you should say before you say it.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Half the time, you don't want to know what's in
my head.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
When we would do the couch interviews for Outdaughtered? How
many times were I in slippers? How many times were
I in PJ pants? And just change the shirt because
it's all you see.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
You've gotten bit by that before too, because they would
show like a wide shot in your everyone and what
you're what you're wearing below your shirt doesn't all match.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Yeah, so we're gonna do like a who's more likely to?
Speaker 2 (01:07):
So they are facts about who's more likely to in
the busby house, stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
What up in that bomb podcast always gets it first.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Dude, you can't say that we have not even talked
to like my family or my sisters.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
This is More than Reality podcast where we dive into
all things faith, family, and marriage and share that there
is so much more than the reality that you see
on the surface. Welcome to More Than Reality with Adam
and Danielle Busby.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
What's up guys, Welcome to episode thirty six. Remember More
than Reality podcast? But my brain is like starting to
like work better. Why is that because I'm sleeping good,
because you're cozy or because it's summer? And then well,
actually they still had to wake up early.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
This week this week, like so we started summer camp
this week, which is BBS for the girls, and then
Blake started tennis drills weekly, so she's got today was
like I felt like this morning. You know, it's like,
go and bringing your kids to summer camp is so great,
(02:27):
but when it's just like half a day or like
a couple hours, it's almost like like what do you
do in between? Because by the time I bring him
over there, you were in a meeting or whatever. Like
I brought him to camp, I came back, I picked
Blake up took her to tennis. I literally came back.
(02:49):
I think I unloaded some groceries into the organizing in
the pantry through the trash away, and was like, it's
time to go to pick up. So I went back
to pick up Blake. Then I went to pick up
the quince and I'm like, really, there was no like
really anything to like tackle. I was just like, sat
in the car, so and bring my laptop. So next week,
(03:11):
I know, like, I'm gonna drop Blake off and I'm
just gonna sit in the car with my laptop and
work because I've been trying to get through those edits,
writing and illustration edits and stuff for the books, so
which is so exciting because it's all come together so exciting.
The first book's almost dead. So have we talked about that? Yeah,
(03:33):
a little bit of the Kids series a little bit.
Oh okay, well the kid is.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Starting to talk talked about it. Yeah, so we we
definitely talked about it.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Okay, So if you don't know, this is episode thirty six,
so we may have talked about this in the past
episodes ago. Yeah, just briefly. But I have been working
on like a devotional life kind of like memoir but
in a devotional format, and so that's almost done, but
(04:05):
also almost done, Uh no, that's not almost done, like
with like editing and stuff. It's almost I'm almost done
writing it, and then it'll go through like an editing process.
So with the kids series that I've have a kid
series and it's a series of six books. I'm not
(04:26):
going to give titles in any of that stuff yet
because it's all so cute and they all are based
off of the girls, each a character, each a book,
and so the series is the hope is that I
have everything in hard copies in print, which is a
speedy time frame before October Women's event that I'm going
to put on. So just seeing illustration go along with
(04:49):
the words, like it literally makes me tear up, like
seeing it come to life and and you know, and
getting the girls involved and asking them do they like
that outfit? What about this? And you know it shoul
It's fun. It's just I never thought i'd have fun
doing that because I'm not a writer, but doing it
in that formats, it's been so fun to kind of
like see it come to life and just the illustrations
(05:11):
make it fun. My book is not going to be illustrations,
but maybe I.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Should throw some illustrations graphic novel life, I'll do a.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Graphic novel that's kind of funny.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Get a comic book artist.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
But yeah, all I did was just like run back
and forth. I'm like, man, I'm just in the car
all morning. But it's fine. It's fun because it's still
not school time and it's just still summer, so it's
still kind of like whatever, Yay, aren't you proud of me?
I haven't been like I'm still to get sleep and.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
I'm still not quite adjusted to kids being home from school.
It just feels weird because because I still I'm like
doing the same stuff I always do, but they're just
home now.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yeah, and it's different for me because I am home
and and it's almost like we're not we're not sharing
those responsibilities of like go and take and travel.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
I can't it falls on you so now.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Yeah, so it feels weird because we're usually tag team
and like those things back again part of you don't.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Put everything, but everything's like during the weekdays during the day,
and that's yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I mean, I have like a homework playing like I'm
like we're doing this, we're gonna film the podcast here.
We do this afterwards, and then we're going to go
put this house and swim and play. And then on
this day were they're going to come over to our
house and nice schedule.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Most mornings, like the house is pretty much empty. Yeah,
I'm just forose huge thinkers. But like I come home
from the gym and it's like everybody's pretty much gone.
Yeah that's kind of nice. I can just knock out
some stuff. But first we want to talk about the sponsor.

live Fox and Friends like grilling thing, and we are
like the Good Ranchers Activation Booth is literally like facing
Oscar Myers Activation with the big Wiener mobile and everything
(07:58):

Speaker 2 (08:30):
But yeah, it's fun. I'm glad the girls are finally
doing VBS. I've always missed every year. I've always missed
the deadline for the quins to be in there.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
I did that my whole childhood. I went with like
friends like a thing to do in the South. I
don't know if it's just a South it's not just
a South thing.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Oh we went on Brazil mission trip. We went and
did VBS.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Yeah, because that's what we just brought that to another
culture I know.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
But still other states do that.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
I don't know. I don't know do that they do
BBS where you're at. I didn't grow up in another state.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Actually, what is the VBS?
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Vacation Bible School? Okay, which sounds boring that they're going
to camp.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
They love it, well, they know they.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Know Vacation Bible School.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
What Well, Blake asked me what it sits for, and
I was like, vacation Bible School, vacation Bible Studies, vacation
Bibble school, Bible studies. I didn't know what the s was.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yeah, they just have fun. They're doing like crash.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Yeah, it's a blast.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
There.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
I'm fun with that. But yeah, I'm loving the summer
and just it is a different pace of life all
around with just like the work, atmosphere, just everything. It's
still it's still different.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Yeah, I mean this since the summer started, I mean
we've gone a little bit into like life change and
stuff that still are We've been like contemplating and stuff
and all this all that stuff is still like in
full swing, like actually, yeah, I mean we're looking at
putting our house on the.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Market and stuff like that. What dropping that bomb? Hey,
the podcast always gets it first. Dude, you can't say that.
We have not even talked to like my family or
my sisters. That's what we're thinking about when we have
our family dinner this week. I was gonna bring it up.
So it's like, you can't. We have to do it
before this drops.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Then no, they don't listen anyway, Wait, why will we listen?
We know y'all's life.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
We had a converse, so okay, now that you talked
about it, I'm gonna talk about it. We had a
conversation with the kids and told them this is something
we feel that, you know, God's wanting to change with us,
like this whole year, he's kind of like taking our life,
dumped it upside down and shaking it and wanting all
these things to fall out that are not necessary. We
(10:56):
still don't know what that's leading to and what's next
or where we where we'll end up, but we're trying
to be obedient to what we find clarity on. I'm
pretty much stressed out to the max with it all.
But that's where you got to amp up your faith. No,
I just yeah, faith. I don't think faith even has
a part in it. I think it's just like knowing
(11:17):
everything that has to be done. Faith are going to
do everything for me.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
I don't like that statement. Faith is everything. Faith freaking
packing up my house and putting in boxes.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Well, I told you you're busy. I got I will
handle it. Plus it gives me.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
I'm just thinking about, you know, we're contemplating and coming
up with putting our heads around you know, is this
where we want to stay? You know, there are some
compromises that we've made with this house. We love this house, but.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
I'm gonna say we love this house.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I love this house thinking forward to Grandma always said
you don't love things, you love people. The kids being
in and well not being in, the kids being teenagers.
We need at least one more bathroom, like full bathroom,
just thinking about like the future and stuff and six kids,
(12:13):
not even kids, six teenagers in our house. We need
one more full bathroom. And yeah too, it would be great,
but and it's just hard to find that. I mean,
it's just hard to find the house right now with
what we're looking for, and so, you know, just thinking
do we sell our house, do we buy something, do
(12:35):
we sell our house, do we rent something for a
little bit? WHI don't we just try to find something,
figure out the best place we want to end up,
you know, if it's going to be a house that
we're buying, I particularly don't want to make many compromises
if it's something that we're going to buy. And so
do we just find something to rent for a year
thinking the house and market would probably be a little
bit better in a year, and then you know, it
(12:58):
allows us to be able to just you know, we
close down Grayson B. There's still like some lingering stuff
from there that we just we just want to pay
out and just pay off like anybody we owe anything
to and just like pay off debt, pay off everything,
just not be bound down by anything and just have
that cash that if we need to, if we see
(13:21):
something that pops up that is a great fit, we
can jump on it. And so I think that's I
think that's where our mind is headed right now. That's
what we're looking at. It's just nobody likes to move.
Whenever you think of a family of eight and just
all the stuff.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
To me, it's not about the moving, it's about the change.
I don't get stressed out about the moving. I think
of Yay, I get to declutter, I get to clean
out things. I get to go through things. They get
to get rid of stuff.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
I get we need we need to call one of
those companies and have like one of those big roll
off boxes put up, like a construction box put out
in front of our house, just to like purge when
I get when I when I get in the mood
for stuff like that, and like, okay, do I keep it?
Do I organize it? Adam like, I'll just start throwing
(14:12):
stuff away. Trust me. I threw away three cameras last week,
and I was like, I haven't touched this a year.
You I could have probably, I could have probably put
it on Facebook marketplace and made you know, made a
little bit of money off of it. But I'm like,
I don't even feel like messing with it. So just
like start chunking stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
You threw them away? You could have donated it. I
got a box of donate stuff right there. But you
you were you were not a throwaway or you are
a pack rat. And let's talk about what's in your
pockets right now? How much trash is in your pockets
because you don't throw anything away.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
We have one thing in my pocket right now. But
don't tell me I'm wrong.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Just this one moment that you just showered and put
some pants on, did it re stuff your pockets with
the trash that you had in from the yesterday.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Anyway, I'm in some major need of some especially in
my office because like this whole the past months months,
I'm going from camera back to camera, bag, trip to
trip to trip. Everything it just gets pulled out, thrown
on the floor, moved into another bag, and then I'm gone.
And then I come home and it's like, oh, I
got another trip in about three days from now, and
(15:25):
so I just like leave everything out and and so
like haven't wanted to, Like.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
His office is treated like how he cooks everything just
outside anything in a box at cabinet or nothing. He
just wants to be able to see everything.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Yeah, and just because I know, like once I start organizing,
it's going to be like a full day maybe two
days of just pulling out all my storage boxes and
like organizing all the little accessories that go with every
single thing. And that's what he's stressed to think about
mental task of that.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
But that's what you think about with moving is those
things I don't like it.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
You can have I like it once it's done, but
like going through it, I can think about way more
things that I need to do rather than just sitting
here and like organizing.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
I can think of things of why I need to
get in here, but I never touch I don't touch
anything in here because I'm not responsible for anything that's
in this room.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Just like refuse to go get too much money in
this room.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Anyway, we're like on a tangent. What are we talking
about today? Oh, we're talking about Okay, So at lunch today,
Riley is just like she's just like a little person. Well,
while I'm sitting here cozy in a blanket, it reminds
me that thank you Coziers for sponsoring this podcast. That
(16:48):
was pretty good.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
It's not a cozy blanket, it's.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Not, but I'm cozy, and it reminds me like how
well I've been sleeping because I'm cozy, and I think
it's so important to have good sleep, and when you
don't have good sleep, it makes the world a difference
for how you are the next day when you wake up.

now what are we talking about today? You're having lunch
today with Yes So after camps, not just with Riley,
with all the all the.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Kids and some of them were going to the bathroom,
wash their hands whatever, and Riley we were talking about
the podcast and she says, you need to talk about facts,
and I'm like, Okay, Riley, what facts do we need
to talk about?
Speaker 1 (20:02):
She's like that kid in facts. She actually wants to
know all the details about everything.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
She's just she's just like a little person, just a batite,
tiny little adult.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
And she likes to soak in as much information as possible.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
And when you don't and when she's not around, just
like everybody, she just is nons I mean, she just
non stop talking and throwing questions down.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Most of her sentences start with did you know?
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Yeah? I mean, it's just I love it. So today
today she said, let's talk about facts and I was like, well,
what do you what facts? She's like, I don't know that.
I'm amazing and I'm beautiful, and I'm like, everybody knows
those facts. So I just thought it was really sweet,
and so I was like, you know what, We're going
to do some fact statements.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
And about how amazing Riley is.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
No, yeah, did Riley write these questions? So we're gonna
do like a who's more likely to?
Speaker 2 (21:00):
So there are facts about who's more likely to in
the Buzzby.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
House, oh, in our whole house, not just between me
and you.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
I feel like the questions are would be mostly me
and you. But if we really think that, like it
falls on one of the Quints or Blake, Like I
feel like we should put them in there. So first
one's up. This is going to be a mix of
like some laughter, some relatability, some faith.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Should probably be between me and you. Yeah, but then yeah,
well primarily like me and you. But if one of
them pops out as one of the kids too.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
So who is more likely to start crying during a commercial?
A commercial? Unless I'm pregnant. I'm not crying and I'm
not pregnant and I won't be pregnant, so it's definitely
not me. I feel like that would fall in like
a Olivia or ava.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Thing, I mean, Adam and you would be me.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Yeah. Have you ever cried in a commercial, in a
commercial or at a commercial. I've never creed in a commercial,
but at a commercial. I cried it one commercial.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
There was one. There was one commercial? Was it around
the Super Bowl that Apple did with the air pods.
It was pretty emotional. Oh I a dad not being
able to hear. How the new AirPods have like it's
kind of like a hearing aid built into them. Now,
oh yeah with this update and you can actually hear
(22:28):
your surroundings better. And that was like a pretty emotional one.
I think that made me tear up a little bit.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Yeah. The very first time I ever cried at commercial
was I was pregnant with Blake and it was the
soap commercial. It was the soap commercial and it was
like the family and the baby and I cried at
that commercial. And at that moment, because I'm not a
sensitive like crier, I was like, I'm having a girl.
(22:55):
That was I knew I was having a girl because
I cried a commercial. All right, now, I love this one.
Who is more likely to accidentally leave a kid at church?
It's me?
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Oh yeah, yeah, because the dude get talking to people.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Because the other.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
I mean, whenever you and I both like drive separate
because we have either have came come from different directions,
or are going somewhere right after church. Sometimes we'll drive
separately and so like we'll each have our own conversations going.
I feel like mine usually end up taking longer, and
then my kids will just like walk away and just
(23:40):
meander to the car, and I'm just will assume that
they all go, that they're with you.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Yeah, so Adam would be the one to leave. I
really do feel like I don't think I would ever
leave them, though we have to do call in the
car which ones you got? Yeah? Who's more likely to
eat snacks that are meant for kids lunches? Depends on
what it is. Depends on what it is, for sure.
(24:10):
It depends on my mood too. Like I get in
like a sweet mood, like a sweet tooth mood, or
like I just mood or sweet tooth mood.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
I will binge on just like whatever is close to
me for like a day, and then it's like out
of my system.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Like a week.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Depends.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Yeah, yeah, I think that's definitely you. I'll have like
some snacks, but.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
I don't know. I always regret it though. All right,
so we're gonna take a little break for our sponsor today,
which is Good Ranchers, and we just want to thank
Good Ranchers for sponsoring the show. Did you know that
eighty five percent of grass fed beef that is sold
(24:58):
in stores in America is coming from overseas gross? I
did not know that. I mean, it could be gross
from the stone where it's coming from. That's why Good
Ranchers fights against that. All Good Ranchers beef, they have beef, chicken, pork, seafood.
It all comes from US farms and ranches and everything
(25:22):
is born, raised, harvested in the USA. I think before
we finished this podcast, another US ranch is going to
go out of business. And it's not because they just
stop doing hard work. It's because all the meat that
you see in your local grocery store is coming from
foreign countries. And just because of the USDA labeling law,
(25:51):
they let the cool Act expire. And so what that
does is as long as the meat is in its
final stages of packaging, they're allowed to put USDA label
on it and say it's a product to the US
and sketchy, yeah, it's super sketchy. I mean, like any
other any other product that you can buy in the
in the store, it's gonna say where it came from,
(26:11):
where its origin is from. Why why do we allow
that with our meat? I mean that's crazy. And so
right now we're offering at good ranchers dot com a special.
You get forty dollars off with the code Busby plus
Sby plus as long as you have a subscription, you
get free meat for life. So you get a choice
(26:33):
of wy goo burgers, bacon hot dogs, and chicken wings
right now. And so you can go to good ranchers
dot com or you go to good ranchers dot com
slash Buzzby and get the Buzsby box. It's hands selected
staples that we eat in our house every single week.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Especially the chicken nuggets, which are the antibotic free and
avocotta oil. Yeah made chicken nuggets literally are chunks of
chicken that they have figured out how to make them
a nugget with crispiness that doesn't feel soggy and gross.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Yeah, the chicken nuggets are a whole chunk chicken breast.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
So we have that in arm box and that is
a game changer.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
For US gluten free, seed oil free. I would say
it's better than one very fun for lunch today, one
very faint on the road chicken place.

because you just I'm horrible.
Speaker 2 (27:51):

Speaker 2 (28:27):
Who's more likely to start a spontaneous family dance party.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Hazel, dude and Mom.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
I'm always doing dance parties. Remember they were little. We
always do dance. I shared that the other day. Honestly,
the hop like a bunny, Oh my gosh, really not
so cute. I shared that on my story them hopping
like a bunny.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Hazel always dance parties.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Always keep things alive, like when you're trying to cook dinner.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
And try Hazel dance. Olivia and Avo will just like
jump and do tricks.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Yeah, oh gosh, sister, Sony, forget why you walked into
a room, Like what did I walk into this room?
Speaker 5 (29:14):
For that?
Speaker 1 (29:15):
To you?
Speaker 2 (29:15):
That is one hundred percent me. And then I would
say it's blake. Yeah, I always forget when I'm walking
into a room. That's that's like just getting older too,
like not in minnopause, but like the perimenopause. I'm not
in PAIRMENI pause either, but like you get like brain
fog and I'm like, like I cannot talk to I
can't talk to Katie, Priscilla or Mandy on the phone
(29:38):
in the car because I will never end up going
where I'm supposed to one hundred percent of the time.
I'm like, I ought to have some um face to the
phone there on. I'm like, Katie, I'm going to Costco. Okay,
I'm going to Costco right now, so remind me I'm
going to cost and we'll get to talking. And then
I'm like, where am I? I'm not even on my
way to Costco. I'm in the opposite direction.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
You'll be in like the middle of a thought, like
you just like act on something that just pops in
your mind, and like, I'm not like that, Like I'll
like think about something and think before I start to move.
But you you'll be like doing something and something pops
in your mind and you'll just like head that direction.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
I like to call that multitasking.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
But then you forget where you're going. Why yeah, politics
is one mom. And then you're and I always.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Tell Adams, I'll ask you a question and then you'll
just stare at me, and I'm like, what's the answer
from you? And I'm like, tell me what you're telling
yourself in your head. I want to hear it. I
want to hear what's inside there, because I know you're
thinking of what you should say before you say it.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Half the time. You don't want to know it's in
my head?
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Oh really? Why?
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Because I've learned over the years just to not immediately respond.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Okay, I'll take that as a a good thing. Who
would say yes to a pet the kids have been
begging for? Can we talk about fuzzy bun bun bun
bun Fuzzy what was his name?
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Fuzzy nuts.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Bun Bun. I went out of town and came back.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
To a rabbit.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
A seven year old and some three year old quintuplets
with a rabbit, a bunny rabbit. And he was incredibly cute,
He was incredibly soft.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
He pooped an incredibly amount of times in the house.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
We did not need bunnies unless you have a place
to like really have them outside. They're pH Remember that
smells supert like so like ammonia? Who would be the binge?
Watch a whole show in one night? Totally?
Speaker 1 (32:00):
I'd get through fifteen minutes of an episode and I'm.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Out, And then the next day he goes and puts
it on. I'm like, dude, you were watching this last night,
like last night, what were you watching last night? Baseball? Oh?
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Yeah, I was watching it and I was watching the
LSU game. In goodness, they won, but I was watching
it and I was I was, I was in and out,
but like I would sleep for a couple of minutes
and then I wake up, sleep for a couple of minutes,
wake up. I was like in and out, but I
was still like in the game. And then and then
all of a sudden, I just I was. My eyes
(32:34):
were open and.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
I was literally I literally go off and I was
like just staring at you. I'm like, yep, it's going off.
And then after it's off, I lay down. He's like,
did you turn the TV off?
Speaker 1 (32:47):
Like yeah, watching that game.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
You say that all the time, and it's not true, Like, dude,
you weren't snoring.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Like some days it'll take me like three nights just
to finish one episode of a show.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
That's why I can't watch you think with you anymore,
because like you know, even like sometimes I'm like, let's
watch a movie or whatever. And he fixes a cup
of coffee. He gets in bed and he sits straight
up in bed.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
With pillows, press myself stay up.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
And I'm like it's not gonna work, Like you're still
gonna go like your head's gonna fall, but he's like, yeah,
it doesn't matter, I'm gonna stay upstairs. It never happens,
never happens. He would leave that house and slippers. I
think we all know that one. Adam wouldn't never walk
out the house without prime shoes on. True that matched
(33:41):
whatever he was wearing. Of the differences, it's actually funny.
I mean, this is this is why the show is
more than reality, because this is where you get to
know more then how many times okay, here's like a
here's a story. How many times like a here's a
did you know when we would do the couch interviews
(34:02):
for Outdoughdered, how many times were I in slippers? How
many times were I in PJ pants? And just change
the shirt because.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
You see you've gotten bit by that before too, because
they would show like a wide shot and you're like
everyone and what you're what you're wearing below your shirt,
like doesn't all match?
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Ninety percent of the time I was like in comfortable
pants or shorts with socks and slippers. The things you
didn't know laugh at the wrong moment during a serious conversation.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
It's probably me, probably yes, it would be always have
I don't know I have dark humor and or like
I'll think of something very sarcastic to say that's completely inappropriate. No,
you don't take a dark moment and make try to
hold it in. You'll take a hard moment or a
serious moment and to lighten the mood.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Lighten the mood with something off the wall, like a
you can't say that right now, but that's helped a
lot of our friends.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Like we've had friends. I'm not going to talk about
those kind of things. I mean, but we've we've had
some friends like in like serious or dark moments or
like a death or whatever we've been at like a
funeral and stuff like that, and I've always gotten like compliments.
But like, man, like I'm so glad you're here because,
(35:33):
like you know, people would just like walk up to
you and don't know what to say, and I'll just
like say something just completely off the wall just to
like take them out of that moment and they appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
Yes, who's more likely to give in during discipline because
the kid just look too cute? Oh, I don't know
if we're both together.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
That either one of us would do that, But I.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Don't think we ever give in to the discipline, but
we catch it and both will kind of like look
away at each other and be like, how do we
keep her face straight? You know, because there's been lots
of especially when they were a little younger, like, dude,
you can't don't crack, don't crack. Yeah, hold strong, hold strong.
(36:27):
Lots of times where you have to like hide your
face and you're literally like dying laughing inside, you know,
Like she forked me, forked me, Like, come on, how
do you stay serious with that one? That's so funny
and cute pull a prank on one another. I would say,
(36:49):
we both do that, but you definitely for sure you
Oh tell them, tell them what you did Monday? Monday?
Oh I died?
Speaker 1 (36:59):
Did you? You never never found it? Huh wait, there
was something else, never mind.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
No, Hazel told me. No, Hazel told me.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
Play cockroach.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
Yes, and I swear I have thrown that bag away
of hundred rubbery fake cockroaches that Adam bought to just
randomly scare the crap out of me, whenever after he
threw one on me, a real live one when I
was in the bathtub accident, he says, and died laughing
for forty hours, but I could tell he was doing
(37:36):
y'all were doing something well, And I'm not coming over.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
There either right after the house gets sprayed for past
or like after a rain like well, because we have
these huge oak trees and obviously that's where cockroaches live,
in the big oak trees, and so like they'll come
through like the kitchen door or something like that, like
underneath the door, and so every now and then we'll
get one.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
There was one like.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
Right by, right by the side door to the garage
in the kitchen, and all the girls were freaking out.
Riley's not like you want me get it. And so Ava,
Ava is the one that's like the drama queen with
the cockroach. And so what I did was I killed
it and then I picked it up with a paper towel.
But then I had the fake roach. I went grabbed
(38:22):
the fake roach, and I threw that dead roach away,
grabbed a new paper towel and folded the fake roach up,
and I started chasing Ava with the fake road. She
thought the real roach was in that paper towel.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
Don't act like you've never done that with the real
roach anyway.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
And I chased her all over and I hemmed her
up in the pantry.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
Here's crying like this.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
I just put it right on her lips, y'all.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
This is what I did with every single day.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
And then she realized it was just fake.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
No, but then Hazel told me. Hazel walked up as
a I will not walk over there until I know
that that roach is gone. And Hazel walks up to
my purse and takes up Daddy, put it in your purse. Mom,
put it in your purse. I said, throw it away, Hazel.
She's like, it's the fake one. Throw it away. Throw
it away. But what you did on Monday, which was
(39:19):
funny because we had like the packets for vbs with
their bracelet that they needed for their week and like
their name card or whatever, and there was there was
one Well, Adam, it like crawled on the packet or
in the packet or something of Reese's. And You're like, oh,
it went in there. Let's keep it in there and
(39:40):
give this to Reese. And I was like, I will
not be driving with a roach in the car. I
don't care you give it to Reese. I'm not taking
it with me. But what's so funny is that we
had already taken her bracelet out, so the packet reached
did it need? But I was going to give it
to Aaron. And how hilarious would it have been if
Aaron opened it and the road shortter came out? Now
(40:04):
I would have laughed at that, but I didn't want
to drive with it in the car. But this is
what he does, He like, this is this is why
I have trust issues, because I don't know if he's
gonna put a roach in my bed, in my purse,
in my coffee in the bathtub. Every once in a while,
(40:28):
I can get you, but it's usually he plays it
off like it didn't scare him. Start a DIY project
and not finish it.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
Mhmm you.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
I mean you're kind of the same way to.
Speaker 1 (40:43):
A wallpaper in our bedroom. There's still a strip that's
been there for a year that you haven't put in,
So it's the entire walls.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
No, it's not one strip, it's like six inches. And
it's because I was not.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
A six inch strip, but.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
My strips were like eighteen inches. I'm just saying because
that was a year, because that was short. It was
short that much and I just needed to order another strip.
Speaker 1 (41:12):
I mean, if I if I started a project like
I will, I usually put like everything in the world
aside until I finish it.
Speaker 2 (41:22):
But a completed project is one that is started. I
got to start it though, started and finished and finished,
which means I got picked up, all the trash is
cleaned afterwards, the tools are up. You won't do that
part of it, like when the stuff may.
Speaker 1 (41:39):
Be a feel a few tools left in that spot
once the project's done.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
But yeah, you'll you'll complete a project to perfection, but
you won't pick up whatever it took to do the project.
You'll leave just leave it around. But that's part of
the project.
Speaker 1 (42:00):
That could be argued.
Speaker 2 (42:04):
I feel like that would been something on like Big
Bang Theory. Snoop at a teen's text message when the days.
Speaker 1 (42:12):
Come, Oh, it's totally you.
Speaker 2 (42:15):
I don't snoop about it. I'm like, straight up, give
me your phone and I'm gonna look at your messages.
It's not snoop and snoop it means you go behind
their back and do me.
Speaker 1 (42:27):
I'm not going to say it's.
Speaker 2 (42:30):
Not it's not. If I mean, I wouldn't say I don't.
I don't like the word snoop because snoop means sneaky, right, No,
not necessarily, I mean I don't I if I want
to pick.
Speaker 1 (42:44):
Up I have access to all their stuff anyway.
Speaker 2 (42:49):
It's like I can see it, and it's like that's
not I give you respect in you know, some privacy
allowing you to text. But at any given time, I
can pick this up and read whatever I want off
of it. I also can do it from my phone.
Like there's all these things that like you want to
(43:11):
you want to as I get older, you want to
give them like this, like space to learn how to
text or communicate that way or whatnot. But also it's
still us parenting where it's like I'm not giving you
full reins of that, Like we still have control over
over your protection. And if I want to pick up
(43:32):
the phone that we pay for, that we pay for
and we are giving you for certain reasons, but you're
leisurely using it for friendships and texting your friends, we
have the rights to pick that up.
Speaker 1 (43:48):
I mean, I agree, But you're the one more likely
to do that.
Speaker 2 (43:52):
Yeah, I am. I am who would say we need
to talk and it's something super minor. You one, you
would never use those words. I was. I would probably
be the one to say like, hey, let's let's find
(44:14):
a time to talk or let's talk about this. But
but you would, you would, it would be something super minor.
Speaker 1 (44:20):
I would just go straight in into the conversation and.
Speaker 2 (44:25):
That you at full speed, that you know when you're ready,
at full speed. Of all the analytical questions and points
made around what lanyard like something super stupid, like I'll
just see a lanyard over there, somethinking. It would be
like nothing that is important for like the family. It
(44:46):
would be like something that you think is a big deal,
which different than is a big deal to me? Right,
Oh oh, I love this one accidentally embarrass says the
kids in public, but in a fun way. Dude, that's
like the best like that. I feel like that. I
(45:06):
feel like we both do. That is so fun. It's
so fun.
Speaker 1 (45:09):
Like walking into it's usually not by accident, though she's
very much so on purpose. Yeah, like walking walking into
Blake's award banquet, Like walking down the hallway when you're
like hold my hand, and I kept holding her hand.
She's trying to get away from me so much, so bad,
(45:29):
and I'm just holding her hand. Pictures of you of.
Speaker 2 (45:32):
That He's like, hold my hand. She's like stop right.
Speaker 1 (45:36):
As we're walking right up to the auditorium with all
her friends.
Speaker 2 (45:40):
All her friends, the whole eighth grade.
Speaker 1 (45:42):
Hit the grade. I'm like kept grabbing her hand. Quit it.
Speaker 2 (45:47):
What's so funny is that you think at that age
that like one thing that you think like that is
that teenager that everybody notices it, Like I guarantee you
not in one person would have said like, oh Blake
was holding her dad's hand. Like nobody would have noticed that,
But it made for good fun laughs for us. Get
(46:07):
emotional watching old videos of the girls. Adam me.
Speaker 1 (46:13):
Yeah, I get on the field. Sometimes I'll get on
like a rabbit hole of like all the old videos
on my phone or like just old projects that I've
done for sure.
Speaker 2 (46:26):
Trust God boldly even when the future looks uncertain.
Speaker 1 (46:31):
That's totally you. Yeah, I think I'm more of more
of the worrier. I'm just so thankful. I get caught
up in all the just the details of everything and
then just like we'll bog me down and it takes me.
It takes me a while to like kind of go
(46:52):
back to like faith and just okay whatever, I'm not
gonna worry about this, but like I always immediately go
to that first.
Speaker 2 (47:00):
Sure, but I think I think that's where, like you know,
in our differences, there's compliment for the other strengths, right,
and so like when we talk about that being like
that someone who worries is more of a warrior anxiety
or worry. I actually talked about this little encouragement thing
(47:20):
on my story yesterday, and I really, I really don't
have anxiety and I don't have worry. There are things
that will probably bother me or make me worried about,
but I don't. I don't feel those like the heaviness
of those things, Like I don't think really ever, like
really ever, whether it comes from financial, comes to school,
(47:43):
comes to being a mom, comes to being pregnant, come
to you might die, like it's like all those things,
like I don't feel the weight of it because I
think I know and you know. And this is what's
interesting is that you know the facts too. Probly wants
to talk about facts. Weren't talking about facts. I know
the fact. The fact is is that my trust in God,
(48:07):
so my faith. I trust my faith more than I
trust the things that I can't control. I get I
doesn't mean doesn't mean that it's easy, but I have
I know that that's first. Do you know that too?
You just have a harder time, which is so which
(48:27):
is so ironic because I'm like the controller, but I
can put my faith first. And like you're not a
controller in a sense. You are more of like the
freer free spirit in a sense. But when it comes
to like faith and control, like you try to control
before you faith. Like so it's like it's weird, like
(48:50):
we're switched. But good stuff. Yeap, So you need me, amen? Amen?
So anyways, this was fun. I think a lot of them.
(49:13):
I think a lot of these were mostly you hope
this episode approved, like Israeli approved. We'll have to let her.
I have to let her listen to some of this
and like say, see if she approves with the facts,
and see if she agrees if it was mom or Dad.
Speaker 1 (49:29):
All right, guys, So thank you guys for tuning in
to episode thirty six of More Than Reality Podcast and
we will see you in the next one.
Speaker 2 (49:39):
Yep.
Speaker 6 (49:40):
Peace out, guys, love ya, love you guys.
Speaker 2 (50:01):
Eight
Hot dogs, the cleaner weener.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
You need to talk about facts. I'm like, Okay, Riley,
what facts do we need to talk about?
Speaker 1 (00:09):
She's like that kid in facts. She actually wants to
know all the details about everything.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
She's just she's just like a little person, just a
tea tiny little adult. I'll ask you a question and
then you'll just stare at me. What's the answer from you?
And I'm like, tell me what you're telling yourself in
your head. I want to hear it. I want to
hear what's inside there, because I know you're thinking of
what you should say before you say it.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Half the time, you don't want to know what's in
my head.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
When we would do the couch interviews for Outdaughtered? How
many times were I in slippers? How many times were
I in PJ pants? And just change the shirt because
it's all you see.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
You've gotten bit by that before too, because they would
show like a wide shot in your everyone and what
you're what you're wearing below your shirt doesn't all match.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Yeah, so we're gonna do like a who's more likely to?
Speaker 2 (01:07):
So they are facts about who's more likely to in
the busby house, stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
What up in that bomb podcast always gets it first.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Dude, you can't say that we have not even talked
to like my family or my sisters.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
This is More than Reality podcast where we dive into
all things faith, family, and marriage and share that there
is so much more than the reality that you see
on the surface. Welcome to More Than Reality with Adam
and Danielle Busby.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
What's up guys, Welcome to episode thirty six. Remember More
than Reality podcast? But my brain is like starting to
like work better. Why is that because I'm sleeping good,
because you're cozy or because it's summer? And then well,
actually they still had to wake up early.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
This week this week, like so we started summer camp
this week, which is BBS for the girls, and then
Blake started tennis drills weekly, so she's got today was
like I felt like this morning. You know, it's like,
go and bringing your kids to summer camp is so great,
(02:27):
but when it's just like half a day or like
a couple hours, it's almost like like what do you
do in between? Because by the time I bring him
over there, you were in a meeting or whatever. Like
I brought him to camp, I came back, I picked
Blake up took her to tennis. I literally came back.
(02:49):
I think I unloaded some groceries into the organizing in
the pantry through the trash away, and was like, it's
time to go to pick up. So I went back
to pick up Blake. Then I went to pick up
the quince and I'm like, really, there was no like
really anything to like tackle. I was just like, sat
in the car, so and bring my laptop. So next week,
(03:11):
I know, like, I'm gonna drop Blake off and I'm
just gonna sit in the car with my laptop and
work because I've been trying to get through those edits,
writing and illustration edits and stuff for the books, so
which is so exciting because it's all come together so exciting.
The first book's almost dead. So have we talked about that? Yeah,
(03:33):
a little bit of the Kids series a little bit.
Oh okay, well the kid is.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Starting to talk talked about it. Yeah, so we we
definitely talked about it.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Okay, So if you don't know, this is episode thirty six,
so we may have talked about this in the past
episodes ago. Yeah, just briefly. But I have been working
on like a devotional life kind of like memoir but
in a devotional format, and so that's almost done, but
(04:05):
also almost done, Uh no, that's not almost done, like
with like editing and stuff. It's almost I'm almost done
writing it, and then it'll go through like an editing process.
So with the kids series that I've have a kid
series and it's a series of six books. I'm not
(04:26):
going to give titles in any of that stuff yet
because it's all so cute and they all are based
off of the girls, each a character, each a book,
and so the series is the hope is that I
have everything in hard copies in print, which is a
speedy time frame before October Women's event that I'm going
to put on. So just seeing illustration go along with
(04:49):
the words, like it literally makes me tear up, like
seeing it come to life and and you know, and
getting the girls involved and asking them do they like
that outfit? What about this? And you know it shoul
It's fun. It's just I never thought i'd have fun
doing that because I'm not a writer, but doing it
in that formats, it's been so fun to kind of
like see it come to life and just the illustrations
(05:11):
make it fun. My book is not going to be illustrations,
but maybe I.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Should throw some illustrations graphic novel life, I'll do a.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Graphic novel that's kind of funny.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Get a comic book artist.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
But yeah, all I did was just like run back
and forth. I'm like, man, I'm just in the car
all morning. But it's fine. It's fun because it's still
not school time and it's just still summer, so it's
still kind of like whatever, Yay, aren't you proud of me?
I haven't been like I'm still to get sleep and.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
I'm still not quite adjusted to kids being home from school.
It just feels weird because because I still I'm like
doing the same stuff I always do, but they're just
home now.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yeah, and it's different for me because I am home
and and it's almost like we're not we're not sharing
those responsibilities of like go and take and travel.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
I can't it falls on you so now.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Yeah, so it feels weird because we're usually tag team
and like those things back again part of you don't.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Put everything, but everything's like during the weekdays during the day,
and that's yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I mean, I have like a homework playing like I'm
like we're doing this, we're gonna film the podcast here.
We do this afterwards, and then we're going to go
put this house and swim and play. And then on
this day were they're going to come over to our
house and nice schedule.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Most mornings, like the house is pretty much empty. Yeah,
I'm just forose huge thinkers. But like I come home
from the gym and it's like everybody's pretty much gone.
Yeah that's kind of nice. I can just knock out
some stuff. But first we want to talk about the sponsor.

live Fox and Friends like grilling thing, and we are
like the Good Ranchers Activation Booth is literally like facing
Oscar Myers Activation with the big Wiener mobile and everything

to Good Ranchers dot com American Meat Delivered.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
But yeah, it's fun. I'm glad the girls are finally
doing VBS. I've always missed every year. I've always missed
the deadline for the quins to be in there.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
I did that my whole childhood. I went with like
friends like a thing to do in the South. I
don't know if it's just a South it's not just
a South thing.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Oh we went on Brazil mission trip. We went and
did VBS.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Yeah, because that's what we just brought that to another
culture I know.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
But still other states do that.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
I don't know. I don't know do that they do
BBS where you're at. I didn't grow up in another state.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Actually, what is the VBS?
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Vacation Bible School? Okay, which sounds boring that they're going
to camp.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
They love it, well, they know they.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Know Vacation Bible School.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
What Well, Blake asked me what it sits for, and
I was like, vacation Bible School, vacation Bible Studies, vacation
Bibble school, Bible studies. I didn't know what the s was.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yeah, they just have fun. They're doing like crash.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Yeah, it's a blast.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
There.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
I'm fun with that. But yeah, I'm loving the summer
and just it is a different pace of life all
around with just like the work, atmosphere, just everything. It's
still it's still different.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Yeah, I mean this since the summer started, I mean
we've gone a little bit into like life change and
stuff that still are We've been like contemplating and stuff
and all this all that stuff is still like in
full swing, like actually, yeah, I mean we're looking at
putting our house on the.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Market and stuff like that. What dropping that bomb? Hey,
the podcast always gets it first. Dude, you can't say that.
We have not even talked to like my family or
my sisters. That's what we're thinking about when we have
our family dinner this week. I was gonna bring it up.
So it's like, you can't. We have to do it
before this drops.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Then no, they don't listen anyway, Wait, why will we listen?
We know y'all's life.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
We had a converse, so okay, now that you talked
about it, I'm gonna talk about it. We had a
conversation with the kids and told them this is something
we feel that, you know, God's wanting to change with us,
like this whole year, he's kind of like taking our life,
dumped it upside down and shaking it and wanting all
these things to fall out that are not necessary. We
(10:56):
still don't know what that's leading to and what's next
or where we where we'll end up, but we're trying
to be obedient to what we find clarity on. I'm
pretty much stressed out to the max with it all.
But that's where you got to amp up your faith. No,
I just yeah, faith. I don't think faith even has
a part in it. I think it's just like knowing
(11:17):
everything that has to be done. Faith are going to
do everything for me.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
I don't like that statement. Faith is everything. Faith freaking
packing up my house and putting in boxes.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Well, I told you you're busy. I got I will
handle it. Plus it gives me.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
I'm just thinking about, you know, we're contemplating and coming
up with putting our heads around you know, is this
where we want to stay? You know, there are some
compromises that we've made with this house. We love this house, but.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
I'm gonna say we love this house.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I love this house thinking forward to Grandma always said
you don't love things, you love people. The kids being
in and well not being in, the kids being teenagers.
We need at least one more bathroom, like full bathroom,
just thinking about like the future and stuff and six kids,
(12:13):
not even kids, six teenagers in our house. We need
one more full bathroom. And yeah too, it would be great,
but and it's just hard to find that. I mean,
it's just hard to find the house right now with
what we're looking for, and so, you know, just thinking
do we sell our house, do we buy something, do
(12:35):
we sell our house, do we rent something for a
little bit? WHI don't we just try to find something,
figure out the best place we want to end up,
you know, if it's going to be a house that
we're buying, I particularly don't want to make many compromises
if it's something that we're going to buy. And so
do we just find something to rent for a year
thinking the house and market would probably be a little
bit better in a year, and then you know, it
(12:58):
allows us to be able to just you know, we
close down Grayson B. There's still like some lingering stuff
from there that we just we just want to pay
out and just pay off like anybody we owe anything
to and just like pay off debt, pay off everything,
just not be bound down by anything and just have
that cash that if we need to, if we see
(13:21):
something that pops up that is a great fit, we
can jump on it. And so I think that's I
think that's where our mind is headed right now. That's
what we're looking at. It's just nobody likes to move.
Whenever you think of a family of eight and just
all the stuff.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
To me, it's not about the moving, it's about the change.
I don't get stressed out about the moving. I think
of Yay, I get to declutter, I get to clean
out things. I get to go through things. They get
to get rid of stuff.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
I get we need we need to call one of
those companies and have like one of those big roll
off boxes put up, like a construction box put out
in front of our house, just to like purge when
I get when I when I get in the mood
for stuff like that, and like, okay, do I keep it?
Do I organize it? Adam like, I'll just start throwing
(14:12):
stuff away. Trust me. I threw away three cameras last week,
and I was like, I haven't touched this a year.
You I could have probably, I could have probably put
it on Facebook marketplace and made you know, made a
little bit of money off of it. But I'm like,
I don't even feel like messing with it. So just
like start chunking stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
You threw them away? You could have donated it. I
got a box of donate stuff right there. But you
you were you were not a throwaway or you are
a pack rat. And let's talk about what's in your
pockets right now? How much trash is in your pockets
because you don't throw anything away.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
We have one thing in my pocket right now. But
don't tell me I'm wrong.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Just this one moment that you just showered and put
some pants on, did it re stuff your pockets with
the trash that you had in from the yesterday.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Anyway, I'm in some major need of some especially in
my office because like this whole the past months months,
I'm going from camera back to camera, bag, trip to
trip to trip. Everything it just gets pulled out, thrown
on the floor, moved into another bag, and then I'm gone.
And then I come home and it's like, oh, I
got another trip in about three days from now, and
(15:25):
so I just like leave everything out and and so
like haven't wanted to, Like.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
His office is treated like how he cooks everything just
outside anything in a box at cabinet or nothing. He
just wants to be able to see everything.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Yeah, and just because I know, like once I start organizing,
it's going to be like a full day maybe two
days of just pulling out all my storage boxes and
like organizing all the little accessories that go with every
single thing. And that's what he's stressed to think about
mental task of that.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
But that's what you think about with moving is those
things I don't like it.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
You can have I like it once it's done, but
like going through it, I can think about way more
things that I need to do rather than just sitting
here and like organizing.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
I can think of things of why I need to
get in here, but I never touch I don't touch
anything in here because I'm not responsible for anything that's
in this room.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Just like refuse to go get too much money in
this room.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Anyway, we're like on a tangent. What are we talking
about today? Oh, we're talking about Okay, So at lunch today,
Riley is just like she's just like a little person. Well,
while I'm sitting here cozy in a blanket, it reminds
me that thank you Coziers for sponsoring this podcast. That
(16:48):
was pretty good.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
It's not a cozy blanket, it's.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Not, but I'm cozy, and it reminds me like how
well I've been sleeping because I'm cozy, and I think
it's so important to have good sleep, and when you
don't have good sleep, it makes the world a difference

now what are we talking about today? You're having lunch
today with Yes So after camps, not just with Riley,
with all the all the.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Kids and some of them were going to the bathroom,
wash their hands whatever, and Riley we were talking about
the podcast and she says, you need to talk about facts,
and I'm like, Okay, Riley, what facts do we need
to talk about?
Speaker 1 (20:02):
She's like that kid in facts. She actually wants to
know all the details about everything.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
She's just she's just like a little person, just a batite,
tiny little adult.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
And she likes to soak in as much information as possible.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
And when you don't and when she's not around, just
like everybody, she just is nons I mean, she just
non stop talking and throwing questions down.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Most of her sentences start with did you know?
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Yeah? I mean, it's just I love it. So today
today she said, let's talk about facts and I was like, well,
what do you what facts? She's like, I don't know that.
I'm amazing and I'm beautiful, and I'm like, everybody knows
those facts. So I just thought it was really sweet,
and so I was like, you know what, We're going
to do some fact statements.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
And about how amazing Riley is.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
No, yeah, did Riley write these questions? So we're gonna
do like a who's more likely to?
Speaker 2 (21:00):
So there are facts about who's more likely to in
the Buzzby.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
House, oh, in our whole house, not just between me
and you.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
I feel like the questions are would be mostly me
and you. But if we really think that, like it
falls on one of the Quints or Blake, Like I
feel like we should put them in there. So first
one's up. This is going to be a mix of
like some laughter, some relatability, some faith.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Should probably be between me and you. Yeah, but then yeah,
well primarily like me and you. But if one of
them pops out as one of the kids too.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
So who is more likely to start crying during a commercial?
A commercial? Unless I'm pregnant. I'm not crying and I'm
not pregnant and I won't be pregnant, so it's definitely
not me. I feel like that would fall in like
a Olivia or ava.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Thing, I mean, Adam and you would be me.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Yeah. Have you ever cried in a commercial, in a
commercial or at a commercial. I've never creed in a commercial,
but at a commercial. I cried it one commercial.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
There was one. There was one commercial? Was it around
the Super Bowl that Apple did with the air pods.
It was pretty emotional. Oh I a dad not being
able to hear. How the new AirPods have like it's
kind of like a hearing aid built into them. Now,
oh yeah with this update and you can actually hear
(22:28):
your surroundings better. And that was like a pretty emotional one.
I think that made me tear up a little bit.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Yeah. The very first time I ever cried at commercial
was I was pregnant with Blake and it was the
soap commercial. It was the soap commercial and it was
like the family and the baby and I cried at
that commercial. And at that moment, because I'm not a
sensitive like crier, I was like, I'm having a girl.
(22:55):
That was I knew I was having a girl because
I cried a commercial. All right, now, I love this one.
Who is more likely to accidentally leave a kid at church?
It's me?
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Oh yeah, yeah, because the dude get talking to people.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Because the other.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
I mean, whenever you and I both like drive separate
because we have either have came come from different directions,
or are going somewhere right after church. Sometimes we'll drive
separately and so like we'll each have our own conversations going.
I feel like mine usually end up taking longer, and
then my kids will just like walk away and just
(23:40):
meander to the car, and I'm just will assume that
they all go, that they're with you.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Yeah, so Adam would be the one to leave. I
really do feel like I don't think I would ever
leave them, though we have to do call in the
car which ones you got? Yeah? Who's more likely to
eat snacks that are meant for kids lunches? Depends on
what it is. Depends on what it is, for sure.
(24:10):
It depends on my mood too. Like I get in
like a sweet mood, like a sweet tooth mood, or
like I just mood or sweet tooth mood.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
I will binge on just like whatever is close to
me for like a day, and then it's like out
of my system.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Like a week.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Depends.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Yeah, yeah, I think that's definitely you. I'll have like
some snacks, but.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
I don't know. I always regret it though. All right,
so we're gonna take a little break for our sponsor today,
which is Good Ranchers, and we just want to thank
Good Ranchers for sponsoring the show. Did you know that
eighty five percent of grass fed beef that is sold
(24:58):
in stores in America is coming from overseas gross? I
did not know that. I mean, it could be gross
from the stone where it's coming from. That's why Good
Ranchers fights against that. All Good Ranchers beef, they have beef, chicken, pork, seafood.
It all comes from US farms and ranches and everything
(25:22):
is born, raised, harvested in the USA. I think before
we finished this podcast, another US ranch is going to
go out of business. And it's not because they just
stop doing hard work. It's because all the meat that
you see in your local grocery store is coming from
foreign countries. And just because of the USDA labeling law,
(25:51):
they let the cool Act expire. And so what that
does is as long as the meat is in its
final stages of packaging, they're allowed to put USDA label
on it and say it's a product to the US
and sketchy, yeah, it's super sketchy. I mean, like any
other any other product that you can buy in the
in the store, it's gonna say where it came from,
(26:11):
where its origin is from. Why why do we allow
that with our meat? I mean that's crazy. And so
right now we're offering at good ranchers dot com a special.
You get forty dollars off with the code Busby plus
Sby plus as long as you have a subscription, you
get free meat for life. So you get a choice
(26:33):
of wy goo burgers, bacon hot dogs, and chicken wings
right now. And so you can go to good ranchers
dot com or you go to good ranchers dot com
slash Buzzby and get the Buzsby box. It's hands selected
staples that we eat in our house every single week.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Especially the chicken nuggets, which are the antibotic free and
avocotta oil. Yeah made chicken nuggets literally are chunks of
chicken that they have figured out how to make them
a nugget with crispiness that doesn't feel soggy and gross.
Speaker 1 (27:11):

Who's more likely to start a spontaneous family dance party.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Hazel, dude and Mom.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
I'm always doing dance parties. Remember they were little. We
always do dance. I shared that the other day. Honestly,
the hop like a bunny, Oh my gosh, really not
so cute. I shared that on my story them hopping
like a bunny.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Hazel always dance parties.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Always keep things alive, like when you're trying to cook dinner.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
And try Hazel dance. Olivia and Avo will just like
jump and do tricks.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Yeah, oh gosh, sister, Sony, forget why you walked into
a room, Like what did I walk into this room?
Speaker 5 (29:14):
For that?
Speaker 1 (29:15):
To you?
Speaker 2 (29:15):
That is one hundred percent me. And then I would
say it's blake. Yeah, I always forget when I'm walking
into a room. That's that's like just getting older too,
like not in minnopause, but like the perimenopause. I'm not
in PAIRMENI pause either, but like you get like brain
fog and I'm like, like I cannot talk to I
can't talk to Katie, Priscilla or Mandy on the phone
(29:38):
in the car because I will never end up going
where I'm supposed to one hundred percent of the time.
I'm like, I ought to have some um face to the
phone there on. I'm like, Katie, I'm going to Costco. Okay,
I'm going to Costco right now, so remind me I'm
going to cost and we'll get to talking. And then
I'm like, where am I? I'm not even on my
way to Costco. I'm in the opposite direction.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
You'll be in like the middle of a thought, like
you just like act on something that just pops in
your mind, and like, I'm not like that, Like I'll
like think about something and think before I start to move.
But you you'll be like doing something and something pops
in your mind and you'll just like head that direction.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
I like to call that multitasking.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
But then you forget where you're going. Why yeah, politics
is one mom. And then you're and I always.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Tell Adams, I'll ask you a question and then you'll
just stare at me, and I'm like, what's the answer
from you? And I'm like, tell me what you're telling
yourself in your head. I want to hear it. I
want to hear what's inside there, because I know you're
thinking of what you should say before you say it.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Half the time. You don't want to know it's in
my head?
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Oh really? Why?
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Because I've learned over the years just to not immediately respond.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Okay, I'll take that as a a good thing. Who
would say yes to a pet the kids have been
begging for? Can we talk about fuzzy bun bun bun
bun Fuzzy what was his name?
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Fuzzy nuts.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Bun Bun. I went out of town and came back.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
To a rabbit.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
A seven year old and some three year old quintuplets
with a rabbit, a bunny rabbit. And he was incredibly cute,
He was incredibly soft.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
He pooped an incredibly amount of times in the house.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
We did not need bunnies unless you have a place
to like really have them outside. They're pH Remember that
smells supert like so like ammonia? Who would be the binge?
Watch a whole show in one night? Totally?
Speaker 1 (32:00):
I'd get through fifteen minutes of an episode and I'm.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Out, And then the next day he goes and puts
it on. I'm like, dude, you were watching this last night,
like last night, what were you watching last night? Baseball? Oh?
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Yeah, I was watching it and I was watching the
LSU game. In goodness, they won, but I was watching
it and I was I was, I was in and out,
but like I would sleep for a couple of minutes
and then I wake up, sleep for a couple of minutes,
wake up. I was like in and out, but I
was still like in the game. And then and then
all of a sudden, I just I was. My eyes
(32:34):
were open and.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
I was literally I literally go off and I was
like just staring at you. I'm like, yep, it's going off.
And then after it's off, I lay down. He's like,
did you turn the TV off?
Speaker 1 (32:47):
Like yeah, watching that game.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
You say that all the time, and it's not true, Like, dude,
you weren't snoring.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Like some days it'll take me like three nights just
to finish one episode of a show.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
That's why I can't watch you think with you anymore,
because like you know, even like sometimes I'm like, let's
watch a movie or whatever. And he fixes a cup
of coffee. He gets in bed and he sits straight
up in bed.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
With pillows, press myself stay up.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
And I'm like it's not gonna work, Like you're still
gonna go like your head's gonna fall, but he's like, yeah,
it doesn't matter, I'm gonna stay upstairs. It never happens,
never happens. He would leave that house and slippers. I
think we all know that one. Adam wouldn't never walk
out the house without prime shoes on. True that matched
(33:41):
whatever he was wearing. Of the differences, it's actually funny.
I mean, this is this is why the show is
more than reality, because this is where you get to
know more then how many times okay, here's like a
here's a story. How many times like a here's a
did you know when we would do the couch interviews
(34:02):
for Outdoughdered, how many times were I in slippers? How
many times were I in PJ pants? And just change
the shirt because.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
You see you've gotten bit by that before too, because
they would show like a wide shot and you're like
everyone and what you're what you're wearing below your shirt,
like doesn't all match?
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Ninety percent of the time I was like in comfortable
pants or shorts with socks and slippers. The things you
didn't know laugh at the wrong moment during a serious conversation.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
It's probably me, probably yes, it would be always have
I don't know I have dark humor and or like
I'll think of something very sarcastic to say that's completely inappropriate. No,
you don't take a dark moment and make try to
hold it in. You'll take a hard moment or a
serious moment and to lighten the mood.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Lighten the mood with something off the wall, like a
you can't say that right now, but that's helped a
lot of our friends.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Like we've had friends. I'm not going to talk about
those kind of things. I mean, but we've we've had
some friends like in like serious or dark moments or
like a death or whatever we've been at like a
funeral and stuff like that, and I've always gotten like compliments.
But like, man, like I'm so glad you're here because,
(35:33):
like you know, people would just like walk up to
you and don't know what to say, and I'll just
like say something just completely off the wall just to
like take them out of that moment and they appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
Yes, who's more likely to give in during discipline because
the kid just look too cute? Oh, I don't know
if we're both together.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
That either one of us would do that, But I.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Don't think we ever give in to the discipline, but
we catch it and both will kind of like look
away at each other and be like, how do we
keep her face straight? You know, because there's been lots
of especially when they were a little younger, like, dude,
you can't don't crack, don't crack. Yeah, hold strong, hold strong.
(36:27):
Lots of times where you have to like hide your
face and you're literally like dying laughing inside, you know,
Like she forked me, forked me, Like, come on, how
do you stay serious with that one? That's so funny
and cute pull a prank on one another. I would say,
(36:49):
we both do that, but you definitely for sure you
Oh tell them, tell them what you did Monday? Monday?
Oh I died?
Speaker 1 (36:59):
Did you? You never never found it? Huh wait, there
was something else, never mind.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
No, Hazel told me. No, Hazel told me.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
Play cockroach.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
Yes, and I swear I have thrown that bag away
of hundred rubbery fake cockroaches that Adam bought to just
randomly scare the crap out of me, whenever after he
threw one on me, a real live one when I
was in the bathtub accident, he says, and died laughing
for forty hours, but I could tell he was doing
(37:36):
y'all were doing something well, And I'm not coming over.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
There either right after the house gets sprayed for past
or like after a rain like well, because we have
these huge oak trees and obviously that's where cockroaches live,
in the big oak trees, and so like they'll come
through like the kitchen door or something like that, like
underneath the door, and so every now and then we'll
get one.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
There was one like.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
Right by, right by the side door to the garage
in the kitchen, and all the girls were freaking out.
Riley's not like you want me get it. And so Ava,
Ava is the one that's like the drama queen with
the cockroach. And so what I did was I killed
it and then I picked it up with a paper towel.
But then I had the fake roach. I went grabbed
(38:22):
the fake roach, and I threw that dead roach away,
grabbed a new paper towel and folded the fake roach up,
and I started chasing Ava with the fake road. She
thought the real roach was in that paper towel.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
Don't act like you've never done that with the real
roach anyway.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
And I chased her all over and I hemmed her
up in the pantry.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
Here's crying like this.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
I just put it right on her lips, y'all.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
This is what I did with every single day.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
And then she realized it was just fake.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
No, but then Hazel told me. Hazel walked up as
a I will not walk over there until I know
that that roach is gone. And Hazel walks up to
my purse and takes up Daddy, put it in your purse. Mom,
put it in your purse. I said, throw it away, Hazel.
She's like, it's the fake one. Throw it away. Throw
it away. But what you did on Monday, which was
(39:19):
funny because we had like the packets for vbs with
their bracelet that they needed for their week and like
their name card or whatever, and there was there was
one Well, Adam, it like crawled on the packet or
in the packet or something of Reese's. And You're like, oh,
it went in there. Let's keep it in there and
(39:40):
give this to Reese. And I was like, I will
not be driving with a roach in the car. I
don't care you give it to Reese. I'm not taking
it with me. But what's so funny is that we
had already taken her bracelet out, so the packet reached
did it need? But I was going to give it
to Aaron. And how hilarious would it have been if
Aaron opened it and the road shortter came out? Now
(40:04):
I would have laughed at that, but I didn't want
to drive with it in the car. But this is
what he does, He like, this is this is why
I have trust issues, because I don't know if he's
gonna put a roach in my bed, in my purse,
in my coffee in the bathtub. Every once in a while,
(40:28):
I can get you, but it's usually he plays it
off like it didn't scare him. Start a DIY project
and not finish it.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
Mhmm you.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
I mean you're kind of the same way to.
Speaker 1 (40:43):
A wallpaper in our bedroom. There's still a strip that's
been there for a year that you haven't put in,
So it's the entire walls.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
No, it's not one strip, it's like six inches. And
it's because I was not.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
A six inch strip, but.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
My strips were like eighteen inches. I'm just saying because
that was a year, because that was short. It was
short that much and I just needed to order another strip.
Speaker 1 (41:12):
I mean, if I if I started a project like
I will, I usually put like everything in the world
aside until I finish it.
Speaker 2 (41:22):
But a completed project is one that is started. I
got to start it though, started and finished and finished,
which means I got picked up, all the trash is
cleaned afterwards, the tools are up. You won't do that
part of it, like when the stuff may.
Speaker 1 (41:39):
Be a feel a few tools left in that spot
once the project's done.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
But yeah, you'll you'll complete a project to perfection, but
you won't pick up whatever it took to do the project.
You'll leave just leave it around. But that's part of
the project.
Speaker 1 (42:00):
That could be argued.
Speaker 2 (42:04):
I feel like that would been something on like Big
Bang Theory. Snoop at a teen's text message when the days.
Speaker 1 (42:12):
Come, Oh, it's totally you.
Speaker 2 (42:15):
I don't snoop about it. I'm like, straight up, give
me your phone and I'm gonna look at your messages.
It's not snoop and snoop it means you go behind
their back and do me.
Speaker 1 (42:27):
I'm not going to say it's.
Speaker 2 (42:30):
Not it's not. If I mean, I wouldn't say I don't.
I don't like the word snoop because snoop means sneaky, right, No,
not necessarily, I mean I don't I if I want
to pick.
Speaker 1 (42:44):
Up I have access to all their stuff anyway.
Speaker 2 (42:49):
It's like I can see it, and it's like that's
not I give you respect in you know, some privacy
allowing you to text. But at any given time, I
can pick this up and read whatever I want off
of it. I also can do it from my phone.
Like there's all these things that like you want to
(43:11):
you want to as I get older, you want to
give them like this, like space to learn how to
text or communicate that way or whatnot. But also it's
still us parenting where it's like I'm not giving you
full reins of that, Like we still have control over
over your protection. And if I want to pick up
(43:32):
the phone that we pay for, that we pay for
and we are giving you for certain reasons, but you're
leisurely using it for friendships and texting your friends, we
have the rights to pick that up.
Speaker 1 (43:48):
I mean, I agree, But you're the one more likely
to do that.
Speaker 2 (43:52):
Yeah, I am. I am who would say we need
to talk and it's something super minor. You one, you
would never use those words. I was. I would probably
be the one to say like, hey, let's let's find
(44:14):
a time to talk or let's talk about this. But
but you would, you would, it would be something super minor.
Speaker 1 (44:20):
I would just go straight in into the conversation and.
Speaker 2 (44:25):
That you at full speed, that you know when you're ready,
at full speed. Of all the analytical questions and points
made around what lanyard like something super stupid, like I'll
just see a lanyard over there, somethinking. It would be
like nothing that is important for like the family. It
(44:46):
would be like something that you think is a big deal,
which different than is a big deal to me? Right,
Oh oh, I love this one accidentally embarrass says the
kids in public, but in a fun way. Dude, that's
like the best like that. I feel like that. I
(45:06):
feel like we both do. That is so fun. It's
so fun.
Speaker 1 (45:09):
Like walking into it's usually not by accident, though she's
very much so on purpose. Yeah, like walking walking into
Blake's award banquet, Like walking down the hallway when you're
like hold my hand, and I kept holding her hand.
She's trying to get away from me so much, so bad,
(45:29):
and I'm just holding her hand. Pictures of you of.
Speaker 2 (45:32):
That He's like, hold my hand. She's like stop right.
Speaker 1 (45:36):
As we're walking right up to the auditorium with all
her friends.
Speaker 2 (45:40):
All her friends, the whole eighth grade.
Speaker 1 (45:42):
Hit the grade. I'm like kept grabbing her hand. Quit it.
Speaker 2 (45:47):
What's so funny is that you think at that age
that like one thing that you think like that is
that teenager that everybody notices it, Like I guarantee you
not in one person would have said like, oh Blake
was holding her dad's hand. Like nobody would have noticed that,
But it made for good fun laughs for us. Get
(46:07):
emotional watching old videos of the girls. Adam me.
Speaker 1 (46:13):
Yeah, I get on the field. Sometimes I'll get on
like a rabbit hole of like all the old videos
on my phone or like just old projects that I've
done for sure.
Speaker 2 (46:26):
Trust God boldly even when the future looks uncertain.
Speaker 1 (46:31):
That's totally you. Yeah, I think I'm more of more
of the worrier. I'm just so thankful. I get caught
up in all the just the details of everything and
then just like we'll bog me down and it takes me.
It takes me a while to like kind of go
(46:52):
back to like faith and just okay whatever, I'm not
gonna worry about this, but like I always immediately go
to that first.
Speaker 2 (47:00):
Sure, but I think I think that's where, like you know,
in our differences, there's compliment for the other strengths, right,
and so like when we talk about that being like
that someone who worries is more of a warrior anxiety
or worry. I actually talked about this little encouragement thing
(47:20):
on my story yesterday, and I really, I really don't
have anxiety and I don't have worry. There are things
that will probably bother me or make me worried about,
but I don't. I don't feel those like the heaviness
of those things, Like I don't think really ever, like
really ever, whether it comes from financial, comes to school,
(47:43):
comes to being a mom, comes to being pregnant, come
to you might die, like it's like all those things,
like I don't feel the weight of it because I
think I know and you know. And this is what's
interesting is that you know the facts too. Probly wants
to talk about facts. Weren't talking about facts. I know
the fact. The fact is is that my trust in God,
(48:07):
so my faith. I trust my faith more than I
trust the things that I can't control. I get I
doesn't mean doesn't mean that it's easy, but I have
I know that that's first. Do you know that too?
You just have a harder time, which is so which
(48:27):
is so ironic because I'm like the controller, but I
can put my faith first. And like you're not a
controller in a sense. You are more of like the
freer free spirit in a sense. But when it comes
to like faith and control, like you try to control
before you faith. Like so it's like it's weird, like
(48:50):
we're switched. But good stuff. Yeap, So you need me, amen? Amen?
So anyways, this was fun. I think a lot of them.
(49:13):
I think a lot of these were mostly you hope
this episode approved, like Israeli approved. We'll have to let her.
I have to let her listen to some of this
and like say, see if she approves with the facts,
and see if she agrees if it was mom or Dad.
Speaker 1 (49:29):
All right, guys, So thank you guys for tuning in
to episode thirty six of More Than Reality Podcast and
we will see you in the next one.
