(00:21):
usually looking at the board right nowand I can't and the microphone's up in
my right eye and I can't seeyou out of it, and it's like
weird. Chris is usually in producermode because every time we do our podcasts,
he's like in a different area.But we made it work where we
could both sit literally on our loveseat. Oh, I'll look at us
on our love seat together. Disclaimerif you hear a big crash later,

(00:44):
just my microphone falling off the table, I think it might happen. Other
than that, everything's going good.Everything we're hearing and we apologize, but
I'm not going to go too farinto it. You know how this goes.
If you've listened to our podcast,if we haven't done one a couple
months, I'm not I don't wantto. I don't want. I don't
even want to know how long it'sthere's god awful. Sometimes good reasons,

(01:07):
sometimes bad reasons. Either way,usually one includes me having some painful things
happen, or or everything's great,everything's so good that we literally have no
time. So for the most part, it's been good. Everything's been good.
You're good. I'm not hurt again. So why don't we just go

perform her routines one more time.We have one little showcase and then Nationals.
So we are winding down the season. We are at the part of

(02:58):
the end of the season where I'mkind of getting a little sad but super
excited. And I'll translate that forall the men out there that don't understand
the whole words that she said.We have two more weekends that are gonna
be taken over. In one weekendthat's going to be a recital. Yeah,
and guess who's in the recital.Cassie and Cassie and Cassie you.

about it. I can't wait toshow them all my mc hammer dance.
Oh my god, is that whatyou're gonna do? That's your plan across
that you're gonna go across? Whatdo I need to buy you? Like
some big pants? No, I'msure I have my old ones? Oh

(03:43):
Dad, No, I know youdon't. You have four things in your
closet. I know for a factthat is true, and none of them
are black or blue or maroon vnex. So it's like I'm the cartoon
where they walk in their closet islike all the shirts, all the jack
It's all like the part Simpson ofour house. For the record, you
were the exact same thing. Idon't mind everything style. Well, isn't

(04:10):
that being consistent? Isn't that justbeing a person. No, it's kind
of it's the Chris uniform. It'skind of how the kids and I have
talked about. It's not the wordthat you should use behind your back.
Just you just told me to myface before you should just say Dad's clothes.
No, I like my v nex. It makes me not feel constricused.

(04:33):
But here's how this is the problem. What is happening? Where was
right now? Right now? Gowhat's going on right now? Right now?
You went through dance sideways. Yes, we'll go back to your wardrobe
at some point. Anyway, that'swhat's happening. So we've been fully involved
in Cassie's dance life. This season'sare busy, and I'm excited. I'm

(04:57):
I love and hate that it isending because you know how you know I
love you love it because you loveit's so much. I love seeing her
on stage. Um, but youwant it over so bad. I can't
wait for a whole monthent. Ittakes up so much time. That's why
it's all it is. And sobut now that they're like about to be
out of school, like all thosethings, part of me is like,
Okay, I'm gonna have some We'llhave more time and I don't have to

(05:19):
be racing from this place to thisplace to this place to get her this
place, all those things. That'sa lot of my life, right that's
my My entire life is after schoolis pick this one up, pick this
one up, go here, gohere, drop this one. It's chaos.
So now she'll get to sleep in, I'll come home. Hey,

(05:40):
is your dance bag ready? Letme take it a class. It's way
less involved, so that's great.The other part of it is I really
love watching her dance. Yeah,you know what I mean. It's been
so such a joy. Especially thisseason has been so much better than last
season. And it's it's not thatI did. She wasn't good last year,

(06:02):
wasn't doing a solo last year.Things that were There's a lot of
differential but differentiating factors. Yeah,different things. Well I was. I
was trying to use a big word, but I just had to drink.
So whatever. The two and ahalf to three days you guys sit together
doing makeup before you guys go aday smin hours I said, our purpose.

(06:25):
I know, but it is kindof days like days. No,
when you do your makeup, youguys are being goofy and silly, and
then I come in and screw thingsup and she gets in trouble and you
yell at her. It's kind offun. I love it. It's it's
we it's our bonding moments. She'smy last baby, and it's it's kind
of it kind of makes it sad. Because she's getting older, and she's
also starting to do her own makeupfor dance, which I hate. I

(06:49):
know she's like, look, Idid my lipstick and then look at her
and I'm like, right, neverdo it again. No, I don't
hate it because she can do it. I hate it because she can do
it. I hate her because itdoesn't mean me. I hate her because
it's like that was my thing.Everyone's gonna be in the mirror with the
lipstick just going, oh my god, like rubbing it around her lips,

(07:13):
her nose, because it's I'm whenI'm losing it. You'll know. You'll
know what I'm losing it because they'regonna be all dance makeup smeared across my
face, eyelash is coming out ofher forehead. I'm gonna walk I'm gonna
walk in and be like I didn'tsee anything. I turn around and walk

I've reached out prior, had talkedto him. He agreed, said it

(12:00):

looked around. I ate because Iwanted to taste some of the food and
I had the sliders, which islike three different types of barbecue. Is
