Speaker 4 (04:03):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (04:03):

Speaker 5 (04:05):
Well, Christie has some thoughts on that.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Okay, what do you mean?
Speaker 6 (04:08):
I have thoughts on that?
Speaker 5 (04:09):
Well?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
You and I stopped having children.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
Oh normally, normally. Yeah, that's fair.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
That's fair. People people love to ask why, you know.
They overadalyze it because there's our first child. It was
fifty years old, had our first child, and they're like,
was it a calling from God? Was it a midlife crisis?
And the truth is we just need a caregiver, and
we don't want to have kids when we were young
because if we live to be really old, they'll be
old too. They won't be all take care of us.
(04:35):
We wanted a fifty year head start.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
That's nice.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
But I watch her with those baby dolls. I'm like,
what's you try to putt an adult diaper on? Just
to see if you could do that?
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Boy?
Speaker 5 (04:48):
That's love, isn't it? Knowing you're looking at that person
and thinking you're going to change my diaper one day.
Speaker 6 (04:55):
I don't want to think about that.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
I mean, we treat her like any other child. She
can go to any she can school in the country.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
She'd like, that's really nice.
Speaker 7 (05:06):
Are there other challenges with being an older parent because
I'm forty seven and you don't have any kids.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
I don't have kids, but I'd eventually like to. Yeah,
there's a lot what young parents don't understand the challenges
that old parents have, Like like parties. We can never
go to parties anymore because we can never find a babysitter.
And the young parents are like, oh, just let her
stay with the grandparents. I'm like, okay, I'll just drop
her off at Harper Hill Cemetery. My mom's still alive,
(05:36):
but she's eighty one, so we ain't under stay with her.
She's my mom's got some old school remedies. Oh really, Yeah,
She's like put a piece of parsley between her butt
cheeks to hear the hiccups.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
Oh no, I'm gonna try that. That's some of that
old folksy remedies.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
I really like though.
Speaker 6 (05:55):
Yeah, yeah, have you been married a long time?
Speaker 3 (05:58):
No, I get married. That's the real reason why we
had kisslee life. I've only been married for five and
a half years. Oh okay, so we do I do
everything late. So got buried late in life and people
have you know, we dated and it didn't work out,
and we reconnected eleven years later, Wow on match and
people think that's some romantic story and now like, oh,
it's just the timing right, and you knew God's playing
(06:20):
and we're like no, we both thought we could do better,
realized we couldn't, and then got back together eleven years later.
We're like, we're gonna put a tarniquet on this, stop
the bleeding. That's the best thing, the one I was
gonna do.
Speaker 7 (06:33):
Does your daughter, who's three, does she realize that you,
you know, her mom and dad are a little older
than her friends moms and.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Dads, or we try to hide that from her, but
she's starting to catch on now she's getting more. My
daughter's first words were.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
Guys? Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, Christie? Yeah, what do

Speaker 6 (07:51):
Hikers who climbed to Colorado Mountain were treated to more
than justice sweeping view.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
Of course.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
No, but that's a nice Nope. It was a man
doling out frozen snacks. Huh yeah, a guy wearing an
ice cream cone costumes.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
How about they spend all week climbing and you get
to the and there's a guy selling ice cream.
Speaker 6 (08:15):
He offered hikers. He didn't you know he was giving
him away, David Lynch move. He offered hikers ice cream sandwiches.
Once they reached the fourteen thousand foot.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
Summit what took your salon?
Speaker 6 (08:29):
Members of a Facebook group where people dedicated to climbing
the state's fourteen ers called him a hero, with one
declaring him a legendary ice cream man.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Weird.
Speaker 8 (08:40):
Yeah, we got a hike back down though, and then
you got a tummy full of ice cream? What did
that dairy kind of gets you on the way down?
Speaker 3 (08:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
Well, if you're lactose in tolerant, you tolerate lactose.
Speaker 8 (08:49):
I I don't think that I do. It just makes
me fart a lot, But I persevere through adversity, you know.
I just I believe in myself. I'm not going to
stop myself from a few farts.

Ah.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
I like ice cream sandwiches.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Man.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
Organizers say that this was meant to highlight joy, community
and a bit of whimsy in the outdoors.
Speaker 7 (09:07):
All right, yeah, odd though, I'd be terrified if all
of a sudden you looked over and there was a
man dressed as an iced cream got.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
How long have you been up there? I know how
long he'd been up.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
That's strange.
Speaker 5 (09:21):

sound like something Everest is like twice that high.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
Have you climbed fourteen thousand feet?

wore them up.

Speaker 6 (09:37):
Speaking of dairy, a British farmer has produced the world's
most expensive milk at more than seventeen dollars a pint.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Itis a lot. Obama strikes again.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
Rank Shellard runs the only farm in the UK that
commercially produces horse milk. Mare's milk has a sweet, nutty
taste and has a much lower at content.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Maybe it's not milk.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
A hint of bleach. You think that's you think that's right?
That smells like bleach to you?
Speaker 3 (10:09):
You asked us a lot? I think it does.

a gallon to three gallons a day to make milk.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
And cream and loation, mostly hand cream, though.

milk or something horse Maine? There's Maine and tail and tail.
That's a shampoo four horses, right, No, it's for us,

Oh, it's just a weird name.

We're going to Turkey for a lot of things. You
gotta be careful with short.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Go to Turkey for turkey. Do we know how their
turkey is? They don't have turkey and turkey, they don't know.
I've been there. Turkey. Also, it's like ice, It's like
Iceland is actually quite green.
Speaker 9 (15:46):
It's true. And they have roast beef. Yeah, you can
get roast peak with two sides. And Meadian and Brian
Bak regret coming in the.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Worst time.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
You've probably heard a lot about.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Us in surgery. They sent me in. I'm the best
we got today pets. I do have a pet. Actually,
we have a little seven pound multi poo, and we
had her. Before we had she was kind of like
our first child. But since we've had a child, she's
lately started showing some behavior issues. The part where our
(16:26):
vet said we should take her see a behavior specialist
and said he recommended this woman in Knoxville, which is
about three hours beMore we live in Nashurally said, this
woman's like a dog whisper. She's the best there is.
If anybody could help her with her issues, it would
be her. So we go to Knoxville. My wife tastes
day off work, me and her and Hazel, our dog
and uh and so one of her issues is she
(16:48):
started whenever we sit down on the couch at night
after we put our daughter to bed, and she'll fall
a sleep and cast My wife likes to pick her
up and kind of cuddle her and hold her like
a baby, which lately she started growling, like seriously like
showing her teeth, growling when my wife tries to pick
her up. And behavior specialist said the reason she growls
when my wife tries to pick her up. And I
did think this was interesting, she doesn't want to be
(17:08):
picked up and three hours to a specialist, right, yeah,
and she said what you do in this case is
don't pick her up.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
Yeah, solved, and then she charges a lot of money.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
We drove home.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
And knit that problem in the book. You just mentioned
that you kind of met Larry the Cable Guy.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
All right, So our friend Reno Callier, Yeah, uh, does
an annual charity golf tournament every year called a Soldier Child,
very great organization. He asked me to come play as
a celebrity in the golf tournament, which I'm not a
celebrity or a golfer, so oh for two there, but
he convinced me to do it. And you can only
imagine how disappointed my group was when they found out
I was a selebrity in their group. To make matters worse,
(17:51):
who's the copy at the celebrity in front of me
in our group, Larry the Cable Guy.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
Ah.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
Now, I've never met Larry the Cable Guy.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Always wanted to meet him. I go over in her myself.
Cannot have been nicer, so nice, act like we're old friends,
and as I tend to do when I meet celebrities,
I pretty quickly name drop Nate Bargatsi, who I do
a podcast with. So I was about to say, Nate says,
you're a great golfer. Before I could even say that,
he says I'd love to meet Nate sometime. And I'm like, oh,
you've never met him. And I'm like he's like no.
(18:19):
I'm like, oh, we should make that happen. And I said,
let me give you Nate's phone number, and he said okay,
And I said, in fact, you should come on our
podcast and he's like, I'd love that. So I'm thinking,
this is great. We got Larry the Cable Guy coming
on our podcast. Nate's going to be so excited, and
we keep talking, and based on some of the things
he said, I was like, you know what, this may
not be Larry the Cable Guy.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
I'm not sure who this. I think is just a fan.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Who I've now given Nate's phone number his home address
because that's where we were doing the podcast at the time.
Speaker 5 (18:55):
But I'm not sure.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
So I'm still trying to get clues and asking him things.
So I finally go back to my cart. I called
Nate and it's like, hey, are you friends of Larry
the cable guy and he's like, oh, yeah, good friends.
And I was like, oh boy, and I told him
what happened. He's like, you couldn't recognize one of the
most recognizable faces stand up comedy. So the rest of
the day I just avoid the guy because I'm like,
I can't get near him. I might give him any
(19:17):
Social Security numbers I keep going, So I just avoid him.
I'm not sure still who it is. And I got
home that night and I texted Reno and I said, Hey,
who is the celebrity in the group in front of us?
Speaker 5 (19:28):
And he said it was Kletis T.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Judd, another very funny comedian right right, who acting like
we're old friends. Yeah, because we are.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
We've worked together Puematize and Money's over years.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
So the point is Clease judds as nice as he
could be, and he's probably gonna come on our podcast.
He's gonna be honest.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
I got the address.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Yeah, it's been the night of nights. And apparently I'm
so racist I can't tell the difference to be two
white guys.
Speaker 1 (19:54):

Speaker 3 (04:07):
Okay, what do you mean?
Speaker 6 (04:08):

Speaker 5 (04:09):
Well?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
You and I stopped having children.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
Oh normally, normally. Yeah, that's fair.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
That's fair. People people love to ask why, you know.
They overadalyze it because there's our first child. It was
fifty years old, had our first child, and they're like,
was it a calling from God? Was it a midlife crisis?
And the truth is we just need a caregiver, and
we don't want to have kids when we were young
because if we live to be really old, they'll be
old too. They won't be all take care of us.
(04:35):
We wanted a fifty year head start.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
That's nice.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
But I watch her with those baby dolls. I'm like,
what's you try to putt an adult diaper on? Just
to see if you could do that?
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Boy?
Speaker 5 (04:48):
That's love, isn't it? Knowing you're looking at that person
and thinking you're going to change my diaper one day.
Speaker 6 (04:55):
I don't want to think about that.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
I mean, we treat her like any other child. She
can go to any she can school in the country.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
She'd like, that's really nice.
Speaker 7 (05:06):
Are there other challenges with being an older parent because
I'm forty seven and you don't have any kids.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
I don't have kids, but I'd eventually like to. Yeah,
there's a lot what young parents don't understand the challenges
that old parents have, Like like parties. We can never
go to parties anymore because we can never find a babysitter.
And the young parents are like, oh, just let her
stay with the grandparents. I'm like, okay, I'll just drop
her off at Harper Hill Cemetery. My mom's still alive,
(05:36):
but she's eighty one, so we ain't under stay with her.
She's my mom's got some old school remedies. Oh really, Yeah,
She's like put a piece of parsley between her butt
cheeks to hear the hiccups.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
Oh no, I'm gonna try that. That's some of that
old folksy remedies.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
I really like though.
Speaker 6 (05:55):
Yeah, yeah, have you been married a long time?
Speaker 3 (05:58):
No, I get married. That's the real reason why we
had kisslee life. I've only been married for five and
a half years. Oh okay, so we do I do
everything late. So got buried late in life and people
have you know, we dated and it didn't work out,
and we reconnected eleven years later, Wow on match and
people think that's some romantic story and now like, oh,
it's just the timing right, and you knew God's playing
(06:20):
and we're like no, we both thought we could do better,
realized we couldn't, and then got back together eleven years later.
We're like, we're gonna put a tarniquet on this, stop
the bleeding. That's the best thing, the one I was
gonna do.
Speaker 7 (06:33):
Does your daughter, who's three, does she realize that you,
you know, her mom and dad are a little older
than her friends moms and.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Dads, or we try to hide that from her, but
she's starting to catch on now she's getting more. My
daughter's first words were.
Speaker 5 (06:50):

Am I right on that?
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Guys? Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, Christie? Yeah, what do
you got over there? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (07:51):
Hikers who climbed to Colorado Mountain were treated to more
than justice sweeping view.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
Of course.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
No, but that's a nice Nope. It was a man
doling out frozen snacks. Huh yeah, a guy wearing an
ice cream cone costumes.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
How about they spend all week climbing and you get
to the and there's a guy selling ice cream.
Speaker 6 (08:15):
He offered hikers. He didn't you know he was giving
him away, David Lynch move. He offered hikers ice cream sandwiches.
Once they reached the fourteen thousand foot.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
Summit what took your salon?
Speaker 6 (08:29):
Members of a Facebook group where people dedicated to climbing
the state's fourteen ers called him a hero, with one
declaring him a legendary ice cream man.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Weird.
Speaker 8 (08:40):
Yeah, we got a hike back down though, and then
you got a tummy full of ice cream? What did
that dairy kind of gets you on the way down?
Speaker 3 (08:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
Well, if you're lactose in tolerant, you tolerate lactose.
Speaker 8 (08:49):
I I don't think that I do. It just makes
me fart a lot, But I persevere through adversity, you know.
I just I believe in myself. I'm not going to
stop myself from a few farts.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Ah.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
I like ice cream sandwiches.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Man.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
Organizers say that this was meant to highlight joy, community
and a bit of whimsy in the outdoors.
Speaker 7 (09:07):
All right, yeah, odd though, I'd be terrified if all
of a sudden you looked over and there was a
man dressed as an iced cream got.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
How long have you been up there? I know how
long he'd been up.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
That's strange.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
Well, they're trying to make a fourteenteen thousand foot climb
sound like something Everest is like twice that high.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
Have you climbed fourteen thousand feet?
Speaker 5 (09:30):
It all the time? Okay, all right, that's how I
wore them up.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
Ah, you deserve that ice cream sandwich.
Speaker 4 (09:36):

Speaker 6 (09:37):
Speaking of dairy, a British farmer has produced the world's
most expensive milk at more than seventeen dollars a pint.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Itis a lot. Obama strikes again.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
Rank Shellard runs the only farm in the UK that
commercially produces horse milk. Mare's milk has a sweet, nutty
taste and has a much lower at content.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Maybe it's not milk.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
A hint of bleach. You think that's you think that's right?
That smells like bleach to you?
Speaker 3 (10:09):
You asked us a lot? I think it does.

a gallon to three gallons a day to make milk.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
And cream and loation, mostly hand cream, though.
Speaker 6 (10:45):

ezema cleared up with horse milk and lotion.

Wow, is that like, Ah, isn't that a shampoo horse
milk or something horse Maine? There's Maine and tail and tail.
That's a shampoo four horses, right, No, it's for us,

Speaker 9 (15:29):
That's the comedians are going to Turkey for a cheap implant, and.
Speaker 6 (15:33):
We're going to Turkey for a lot of things. You
gotta be careful with short.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Go to Turkey for turkey. Do we know how their
turkey is? They don't have turkey and turkey, they don't know.
I've been there. Turkey. Also, it's like ice, It's like
Iceland is actually quite green.
Speaker 9 (15:46):
It's true. And they have roast beef. Yeah, you can
get roast peak with two sides. And Meadian and Brian
Bak regret coming in the.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Worst time.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
You've probably heard a lot about.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Us in surgery. They sent me in. I'm the best
we got today pets. I do have a pet. Actually,
we have a little seven pound multi poo, and we
had her. Before we had she was kind of like
our first child. But since we've had a child, she's
lately started showing some behavior issues. The part where our
(16:26):
vet said we should take her see a behavior specialist
and said he recommended this woman in Knoxville, which is
about three hours beMore we live in Nashurally said, this
woman's like a dog whisper. She's the best there is.
If anybody could help her with her issues, it would
be her. So we go to Knoxville. My wife tastes
day off work, me and her and Hazel, our dog
and uh and so one of her issues is she
(16:48):
started whenever we sit down on the couch at night
after we put our daughter to bed, and she'll fall
a sleep and cast My wife likes to pick her
up and kind of cuddle her and hold her like
a baby, which lately she started growling, like seriously like
showing her teeth, growling when my wife tries to pick
her up. And behavior specialist said the reason she growls
when my wife tries to pick her up. And I
did think this was interesting, she doesn't want to be
(17:08):
picked up and three hours to a specialist, right, yeah,
and she said what you do in this case is
don't pick her up.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
Yeah, solved, and then she charges a lot of money.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
We drove home.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
And knit that problem in the book. You just mentioned
that you kind of met Larry the Cable Guy.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
All right, So our friend Reno Callier, Yeah, uh, does
an annual charity golf tournament every year called a Soldier Child,
very great organization. He asked me to come play as
a celebrity in the golf tournament, which I'm not a
celebrity or a golfer, so oh for two there, but
he convinced me to do it. And you can only
imagine how disappointed my group was when they found out
I was a selebrity in their group. To make matters worse,
(17:51):
who's the copy at the celebrity in front of me
in our group, Larry the Cable Guy.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
Ah.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
Now, I've never met Larry the Cable Guy.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Always wanted to meet him. I go over in her myself.
Cannot have been nicer, so nice, act like we're old friends,
and as I tend to do when I meet celebrities,
I pretty quickly name drop Nate Bargatsi, who I do
a podcast with. So I was about to say, Nate says,
you're a great golfer. Before I could even say that,
he says I'd love to meet Nate sometime. And I'm like, oh,
you've never met him. And I'm like he's like no.
(18:19):
I'm like, oh, we should make that happen. And I said,
let me give you Nate's phone number, and he said okay,
And I said, in fact, you should come on our
podcast and he's like, I'd love that. So I'm thinking,
this is great. We got Larry the Cable Guy coming
on our podcast. Nate's going to be so excited, and
we keep talking, and based on some of the things
he said, I was like, you know what, this may
not be Larry the Cable Guy.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
I'm not sure who this. I think is just a fan.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Who I've now given Nate's phone number his home address
because that's where we were doing the podcast at the time.
Speaker 5 (18:55):
But I'm not sure.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
So I'm still trying to get clues and asking him things.
So I finally go back to my cart. I called
Nate and it's like, hey, are you friends of Larry
the cable guy and he's like, oh, yeah, good friends.
And I was like, oh boy, and I told him
what happened. He's like, you couldn't recognize one of the
most recognizable faces stand up comedy. So the rest of
the day I just avoid the guy because I'm like,
I can't get near him. I might give him any
(19:17):
Social Security numbers I keep going, So I just avoid him.
I'm not sure still who it is. And I got
home that night and I texted Reno and I said, Hey,
who is the celebrity in the group in front of us?
Speaker 5 (19:28):
And he said it was Kletis T.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Judd, another very funny comedian right right, who acting like
we're old friends. Yeah, because we are.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
We've worked together Puematize and Money's over years.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
So the point is Clease judds as nice as he
could be, and he's probably gonna come on our podcast.
He's gonna be honest.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
