Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to another episode of I Tell You How's your
Mother's Day?

Speaker 2 (00:04):
It was great, It was really really nice. It was
hot out, so I think that it was super hot.

Speaker 1 (00:07):
Yeah, it was. I can't believe it.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
I'm a stereotypical Minnesota and I start most conversations with
the weather.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
High That's every state, is it. Everybody thinks that their
state is the weather state. Oh, if you don't like
the weather in Iowa, just wait ten minutes. It's like, no,
the only state that really applies to is Florida. That's
the only state that really applies to. What do you
mean with the weather? Can just switch in a second.
I live there. It's not like not.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
No, No, Minnesota does it a little.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
Well, you always pretty much know what's coming, and Florida
all of a sudden it's mom cracking.

Speaker 3 (00:41):
Lightly boom rain.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
It's like, what the hell that you look up and
it's sunny and yeah all the things. Yeah, not so
much here, really, Minnesota. That mean we think we're special.
We are special. We're special people, but our weather's not
quite as special. Florida's Florida special. Now, if you include
earthquakes in the mix of weather, you know which is
kind of as, I guess, and then California would definitely

(01:03):
take the kick because then out of nowhere, even though
they can sense those earthquakes now they kind of feel
them coming right now, they can't do it in the
ten day forecast, like next Thursday an earthquake. They haven't
got her down look quite like that yet, but they
have little meters. Yeah, that kind of stuff. So what'd
you guys do for your Mother's Day?

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Mother's Day was? It was great? It was actually started
off really really slow because my mom was in Pine
River for for my sister's rodeo holidays, and then Hawthorne's
mom was in Rochester all day for his sister's volleyball tournament,
and neither of them got home until like six pm
or so.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Boy made well, that's easy.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
It makes it a little tricky to like make plans with
them back.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
It's like jeepers, you don't have to even worry about
getting the card till Monday. No, we have a special
on those cards today. They're like three cbs.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
That's true. We went and saw both of them, brought
them flowers and card and like spend some time with
each of them and had dinner with my family and
it was really really nice. How about you guys.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
I worked, got stuff done around the house, mowed the grass,
and I fixed our air conditioner.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
Nice.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
Yeah. The guy there's a guy that came over on
Friday and he was nice enough to tell me that
your air conditioner probably needs a hard start kit. Go
look that up.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
What does that mean?

Speaker 1 (02:19):
It means that the air conditioner, because my air conditioner
is twenty years old, yeah, right, which is it's you know,
could be last like potential. One thing that could help
it a little bit is it's when you first cycle
it or when they start up. That's what draws the
most energy, and that's what fries things as they get older.
You put a hard stark kit on there and it
actually I think it. I don't know why they don't
call it a soft start kit, but it's because it

(02:39):
starts hard. You put this in there and it kind
of takes that anverage down a little bit. And I
did not get electrocuted. I didn't even get shocked once.
This time cool. It was really cool. So I did
that and my AC when it starts now it doesn't
go chang. It made this noise. It's been doing that
for ten years. Now it goes. I'm like, it's like

(03:01):
brand new unit. Man. Yes, yeah, fifty three bucks.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Granger there you go.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
Yeah and stufsh Steph's cold. That's what that's what she wants.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
That's like the best gift you could have given her, especially.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
In a ninety degree day like yesterday. Man, I house,
I was thinking I installed it on uh on Saturday.
I wasn't even supposed to get it till Tuesday.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
So yeah, that worked out great.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
Would you do doves? You went out your first Mother's day?

Speaker 3 (03:25):
Yep? Well, first of all, yeah, Lauren's first mother day.

Speaker 4 (03:27):
Mother's Day. We went out on a big lake. It
was really windy. Who is the boat might and loss?

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Big Lake is a glorious place.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
Yeah, that was our first time on the lake. Super nice.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Yeah, like did you go in?

Speaker 3 (03:40):
No?

Speaker 1 (03:41):
Come on, man, it is but people are jumping in
people are jumping in lakes all over. I did a
little walk around Maple Girl the other day. And the
little kids. What is it about little kids they go
into lakes. It's like they're immune. Yeah, it's they see
the fun yeah, and the joy of water. Yeah, but
it just goes to show your mind over mat or
they just they just jump in and then they hear

(04:01):
a little and then they're playing for hours.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
Their lips will be blue and they'll but they'll keep playing.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
We're a bunch of whoosies. You get a little bit
older and it's like you tip your little pinky toe
in there. Do you guys fish or.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
Pontoon or yep, pontoon just strolled.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Do they have to transport the pontoon or do they
have a like a thing out there?

Speaker 3 (04:23):
No, yeah, they transport it.

Speaker 4 (04:24):
They usually keep it at our house during the summer.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Do you ever just like sneak it off to the lake?

Speaker 3 (04:31):
No?

Speaker 1 (04:31):
Wait, do you have a third stall that fits a pontoon?

Speaker 3 (04:33):
Yeah, on the side of our house.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
Oh not in the garage.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
I was going to say, I want I was going
to say, uh huh, we're not millionaires.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
So h good times.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
So you guys did that? How was Lena?

Speaker 3 (04:50):
She was good?

Speaker 1 (04:50):
I mean, uh, no sunburn, right.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
No, no sunburn.

Speaker 4 (04:54):
We lathered her up with sunscreen and then she had
a sudden hat on and for the first five minutes
she hated it because she had to wear a life jacket,
and then she got used to it, and then she
just started eating the life jacket.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
So whatever, swim, right, kids will swim when the water's
that cold, they'll figure it out real quick.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
Have you seen the videos of people when they Yeah,
when they teach their babies how to swim, chuck them in,
it's amazing. Yeah. I think it's incredible and it seems
like such a great skill. And then they also will
eventually graduate them up to the point of like wearing
a puffy coat and throwing them in the water and
it's still a baby, but the baby's able to figure
it out and float.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
They graduate to the point of a puffy coat. Yeah,
they start from nothing. Well, if they just stay it nothing.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
Well, no, this, so they start at like whatever little
swim diaper or whatever it is that they give them,
and so they get them used to it. But then
because you had to assume when they're wearing clothes or
a puffy coat or something, that's when when something bad
has happened, they're trying to prepare for that where it's harder.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
Yeah, they figure it out.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Yeah, So you let them figure it out first without
puffy stuff all over, like a coat or something, and
then you get them used to that. Once they've figured
out kind of swimming and floating and all these things,
because then if they're ever in a situation where they
fall into a body of water.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
If you become a mom one day, and God bless
if you do, you all the knowledge that you know
now pre mom is going to be so awesome when
you are a mom, because you're getting all the study
that you do beforehand, and even just inherent knowledge that
you have before you even thought about having kids, and
now that you're married and you guys, you know, down
the road, I assume that there's gonna be children, right,
and then I think you're just gonna be this wealth

(06:30):
of you should just do a mom blog now, I
don't know about it. I saw the videos too. They
just shove their naked kid in the water and they
just they just swim, you know. I remember thinking that
before we even had kids. I'm like, and then I
just couldn't do it. I think, because you know, I.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
Mean I couldn't do it. I would I would jump
right in after.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
I'm like, I'm sorry, I mean, you don't go straight
to throwing them in the water. Much like the kind
that they start off like holding the kid and just
kind of like swoshing it.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
Well, They don't sell that part. They just sell the
part where the kids are boom. It's like off the diving.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
Boards, the baptizing my dug you.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
When they're going down and they're finding rocks at the
bottom of the pool, and not even three weeks all,
it's like dang man, Michael Phelps, baby seal traded.

Speaker 3 (07:24):
Well.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
I think that babies naturally have like an inherent instinct
to not inhale water better than older kids. Adults do.
We do, but I don't.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
Adults don't have that. I think that does you get
older's like you're thirty five, Yeah, I think I can
do this. I think that you know, nobody's set and
they all say, you know, it's like driving a car
without gas. They all, We'll try water until it doesn't work,
you know what I mean, right, I mean, there's always
some idiot that doesn't. So there's some guy going, I'm
gonna try breathing water.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
I think that it's more so like adults. For whatever reason.
I just think that adults like forget the natural instincts
that we have because we're not I don't know, like
we are actually animals with instincts. We're whatever. And I
think that We just like untrain ourselves time, and you
think you're smarter than whatever. Your instinctual reaction.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
To the luxuries of technology and everything else take over
and we just rely upon everything else.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
Yeah, but babies have a lot of natural instincts and
people don't give them enough credit for that.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
You should have seen me. I jumped up on the
roof yesterday. You know, there's one thing about going up
on the roof. You hear about these people getting hurt
on roofs from falling off of roofs. You know that
happens probably like the people like me that have to
go up there sixteen times because you forget a different
set of pliers or a screw or something. I was
working on something with my chimney, yeah, because we had
that bat in the house, and I think I figured

(08:44):
out where the bat came out.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
You did, did you find more?

Speaker 3 (08:46):
No?

Speaker 1 (08:47):
No, no, no, no, I don't know if I did.
They're trapped now.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
But this stuff you cash, Jesus, what did you put
up there?

Speaker 1 (08:55):
There's like a putty that you put around certain areas
around your chimney if there's like this whole stuff. So
my house is a little older, So I did that
and it was very exciting, so I felt really good
about it. I got done.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
Awesome.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
Yeah, thank you very much.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
Looking for the bats I installed in there?
