Host Homes and 90s Trivia with Brian Barefoot

Imagine being part of a birthday celebration that turns your life upside down—in the best possible way. That's what happened to Brian Barefoot, our special guest and the rhythmic heartbeat of FFH. As we sit with Jeremy, Jennifer, and Drew, we unwrap the tale of Brian's seamless transition from birthday party drummer to beloved family member through his marriage to Jennifer's sister, Janelle. Our conversation dances through the complexities of blending familial bonds with the beats of the music industry, all while reminiscing about the comedic and sometimes uncomfortable escapades encountered while on tour.

Ever found yourself doubled over with laughter at the unpredictable curveballs life throws your way? That's the exact experience we bring to you, as we recount the wild and wacky stories from our days on the road. From mistaken cat catastrophes to flea invasions and the challenges of playing host to a mischievous pet, we share the kind of anecdotes that could only come from a life lived out loud and on the move. It's not just about the belly laughs, though; these tales are a testament to the warmth and hospitality that often go unnoticed amidst the hustle of tour life.

But wait, there's more than just tales from the tour. We shift gears into an area you might not expect—insurance adjusting and the surprising excitement it brings. We expose the myths about adjusters and dive into the ethical demands of the profession, all while sharing our own DIY home repair blunders. Wrapping up with a trip down memory lane, we quiz each other on '80s trivia, from Van Halen's lesser-known original name to iconic TV shows and the unforgettable flavors of an Orange Julius. Join us for an episode that's like sitting down with old friends, reminiscing about the past, and laughing until your sides hurt.

Speaker 1 0:12

Hey everybody, welcome to the Gospel. According to Jeremy, Nice art. As always, jeremy Deibler, jennifer Deibler, drew Powell and our brother-in-law, Jennifer's sister's husband, I didn't know that you didn't know this, our brother-in-law and longtime drummer and one of my best friends, brian Barefoot. Also, I think, our first representative of North Carolina.

Well, that's funny. That's a funny story.

Speaker 4 0:55

That's a good story.

Speaker 2 0:56

Yeah.

Speaker 3 0:58

Drummer. Not by much, though, because we got married not too long after everything went down. Uh, just get a little closer listen, y'all it's gonna drum, I'm not used to talking. I say one, two, three, four, that's it. No, uh, so I was dating, uh, my then girlfriend, janelle, and and I was struggling, do I marry her or not marry her? I was, you know, typical. Well, I say maybe typical. What did you decide? I don't know. What did you go with?

Speaker 1 1:32

19 years later, we're still waiting, no.

Speaker 3 1:36

So anyway, I thought you know what. I'm going to ask her to be my wife, and then Jeremy. Well, okay, let me back up a little bit. So FFH.

Speaker 1 1:47

You literally backed up.

Speaker 3 1:48

Yeah, I literally backed up.

Speaker 4 1:50

Hang on.

Speaker 3 1:54

Y'all just can't handle what's getting ready to come out.

Speaker 2 1:56

I got to get the dog. You go on.

Speaker 3 2:02

So FFH, their drummer was going to go back to Pennsylvania, right, and I knew there was an opening. But I thought, man, I'd love to have that gig, but I can't really mention anything to it, that would be weird and just not going to do it. So Jeremy took me to what was the name of that place Puffy.

Speaker 1 2:21

Muffin, puffy Muffin.

Speaker 4 2:21

Oh that's funny. So you guys were friends before this Right.

Speaker 3 2:25

Yeah, yeah, we were hanging out and stuff, in fact, like Memorial Day weekend.

Speaker 2 2:28

Because how long had you dated at that point?

Speaker 3 2:30

Oh gosh, we started dating since April, april of 2004. So by May, memorial Day, well right.

Speaker 1 2:40

Janelle had thrown you that party.

Speaker 3 2:42

Oh gosh.

Speaker 2 2:43

See, that's what happened.

Speaker 1 2:44

So Janelle threw him a birthday party.

Speaker 3 2:46

A big birthday party we had been dating like six weeks, but it was epic.

Speaker 2 2:50

She blew it out, she had it.

Speaker 1 2:52

amazing it was epic, but during the party they put together like a cover band and so our drummer had left or was leaving. My cousin Jason was our original drummer and he's a listener of the podcast. Shout out to jason, he's my cousin. He married brian, our bass player's sister, and so that's weird, it's crazy and so they were.

Speaker 1 3:13

They're both in pennsylvania and they decided to move home. And uh, I jennifer had been saying you know, janelle state and a drummer, and I'm gonna listen. I this is gonna get messy because if he breaks up with her that's going to be weird. If he marries her, then we're taking him away. But then I saw Janelle had a video of this party and I was like Janelle, is that your boyfriend?

Speaker 4 3:39

And I was like dang.

Speaker 3 3:42

And I said well, it was a musical birthday party. So they had like a cover band. Yeah, it was like a cover band. I was told that I was going to be playing a gig like this 80s gig. So they sent me the set list. I'm like are you kidding me? These are like I know all these songs. This is going to be great.

Speaker 2 3:58

These are my favorites. And what?

Speaker 3 3:59

happened was was we went over to her house where all my friends were. So I would they say, pick a song. So I would pick whatever song was on the list and different people would get out of the audience and come play bass.

Speaker 4 4:08

That's so fun. Yeah, it was awesome.

Speaker 3 4:11

It was. It was really cool. So, uh, it's funny, I've never seen that video, uh, still to this day, so anyway, I watch it every night.

Speaker 1 4:21

That is the only reason I kept my VCR was to watch that video Is he coming through. Okay, yeah, okay, so, anyway. So I saw that video and didn't I say hey, I would really like to offer you this gig, but what's going on?

Speaker 2 4:38

with my sister. What's going on with your relationship? Yeah.

Speaker 3 4:40

And literally the day before I had bought a diamond and I said, well, I'm going to ask her to marry me. I said you're like the only person that knows this Kevin Perry may have known, I can't remember and then he was like, well, what happens when we take you away from her? Is she going to be okay? And I was like man, I don't know. I guess I'm new to all this stuff. So obviously a very cool time in my life.

Speaker 1 5:08

I mean, I'm marion janelle and I'm going on the road, and from a guy from north carolina I mean it was great.

Speaker 3 5:10

You were out with travis at the time.

Speaker 3 5:12

Yeah, I mean I, I was uh, uh, travis cotrell, uh doing like beth moore events and stuff like that, and I had played for different people here and there, um, but nothing, nothing at the level of of ffh, where you know you actually get on a bus, uh, you know, instead of trying to get to the airport. Well, we did take some early flights sometimes, but mostly traveling by bus. Yeah, I mean it was just I don't know, it was really really cool speaking of flights, I was just telling somebody oh boy, who were we telling?

Speaker 2 5:38

oh, we were talking last night to justin and sarah oh yeah, so last week the podcast.

Speaker 1 5:42

I told the story because you don't listen to the podcast, but I will this first podcast you've ever done?

Speaker 3 5:50

Oh my gosh, are you kidding me? Yeah, yeah, you're asking me.

Speaker 1 5:54

Y'all are scraping the bottom of the barrel. That's actually not true. When we decided to do this, I told her. I said I want to have Brian on.

Speaker 3 6:02

Yeah, I'm glad, I don't know, I here.

Speaker 1 6:04

I mean we've had just so far. The only people on this podcast have been my friends.

Speaker 3 6:10

Oh, awesome.

Speaker 1 6:11

I'm going to try to keep it that way, except last week somebody sent us a comment asking us for a very specific guest.

Speaker 2 6:17

Oh, yes, we have to yeah.

Speaker 1 6:20

Hopefully we're going to look them up. Yeah, I don't even remember what it was, but anyway, I was telling these guys I was on a flight. I probably haven't told you this yet, but coming back from pennsylvania last week, I was on a flight that had a medical emergency again um, but we were telling some friends of this and I remembered that flight that you and I were and kevin were on, oh yeah, where they had fire in the cock or smoke in the smoke in the which is the name of my new band Smoking the Cabin.

Speaker 1 6:46

It's dangerous.

Speaker 3 6:48

Or Lifetime original movie. Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 1 6:50

But I think. So I was sitting in the middle of you and Kevin, yeah, and I had my in-ears in and I could hear the. So we're taking off from.

Speaker 3 7:02

Alabama.

Speaker 1 7:02

Yeah, something like that. We're taking off and we're in the steep incline and the pilot comes on and I just thought the pilot was talking. I looked at Brian and Brian had this sort of serious face on.

Speaker 2 7:14

Can you reenact it for us?

Speaker 3 7:16

This is pretty much it.

Speaker 2 7:19

I got one, look people.

Speaker 1 7:20

My serious face looks a lot like my normal face, so I popped one of my ears out and I looked at him and I said hey.

Speaker 3 7:25

and you looked at me and you said there's evidently smoke in the cabin and we're going to be landing, yeah, and there was, like the flight attendant, like we were going, like that, and that flight attendant was walking down the middle of the aisle looking out the windows and stuff. I'm like man, this ain't good.

Speaker 1 7:39

So no sooner, did he say, did Brian say yeah, there's evidently some smoke in the cabin. We just were like top gun straight down.

Speaker 2 7:48

Wow, and I was like you did a couple of straight down things on the plane.

Speaker 1 7:53

And so, and then everybody really got scared Kevin and me and you were praying in the name of Jesus.

Speaker 3 7:58

Oh man.

Speaker 1 7:58

Finding the devil from the plane, everything.

Speaker 3 8:01

All of that stuff, pulling out all the stops we were like the only adults other than the flight attendants on there, because it was a bunch of kids from a camp that we had just done. So. I'm like these poor kids, man. They're never going to fly again or go anywhere. I mean, their life is pretty tough as it was, but it was a camp for underprivileged kids.

Speaker 1 8:18

We're going down. We're going down in flames.

Speaker 3 8:22

I did really feel like well, we might die.

Speaker 1 8:24

Yeah, I bet you prayed a hedge of protection too, didn't you? I did, man, I was praying hard.

Speaker 3 8:28

And Kevin was all in. He was praying hard. I was speaking in tongues, he was.

Speaker 2 8:36

Shonda, lashonda, lashonda, shit about Honda.

Speaker 4 8:39

Nobody interpreting, just Right.

Speaker 3 8:41

That's right, it was totally unbiblical language yeah, but the funny thing was is that after we got on the ground, uh, the flight attendant. She lost it. I'm like she doesn't need to be doing this job. She's like y'all are precious cargo and y'all just sit still and we want to get y'all off the plane.

Speaker 2 8:59

I'm like man didn't she say you got your precious cargo a couple times. Oh yeah she actually updated.

Speaker 1 9:05

She goes, we're here and we're on the runway.

Speaker 3 9:07

We're like yeah, we can see. I see the fire trucks rolling in. How about get us off this metal tube that's on fire.

Speaker 1 9:12

They opened the doors, I guess as precautions.

Speaker 1 9:15

So they pulled us to some remote runway because they didn't want us blowing up near the airport and they opened the doors That'd be bad for press, and so we're all just sitting on there and we're like, okay, we're down here. They opened the doors and they said just please stay seated. You know we're getting it sorted out. And then we could start smelling it again. And some people started going no, and people started saying stuff loud like I think we need to get off, we need to go. Yeah, why are we? Still here and the flight attendants are going, please stay seated. And we're like no, I'm jumping out.

Speaker 3 9:53

Open up the doors.

Speaker 1 9:54

It ended up being a coffee pot or something.

Speaker 3 9:57

Oh was it.

Speaker 1 9:58

I never even knew what it was Well because, remember, we went in. So we took off in Baton rouge and landed in new orleans. So I mean we didn't?

Speaker 3 10:05

we left new orleans that morning? That's right, we left new orleans, went to baton rouge and landed right back that was a long, responsible route. It's gonna take us a long time to get home, jensen so and then you guys rented a car.

Speaker 2 10:16

You were like nope, well, because they were gonna, we're not doing it.

Speaker 1 10:18

Once they figured out what it was they were gonna put us back on the plane and jeremy's no, heck to the no.

Speaker 3 10:23

Actually, I think Kevin was like no, really Okay.

Speaker 1 10:27

Well, none of us were keen on getting back on the thing, but what was funny is so we rented a car to drive back to Nashville and we were like whoa, I'll just take shifts. And Kevin drove first and fell asleep behind the wheel.

Speaker 2 10:37

No, Much safer than flying yeah.

Speaker 3 10:39

Yeah.

Speaker 2 10:46

Yeah, you get in and you're like can you believe we did?

Funny Stories From Tour Life

Speaker 1 12:14

and you've got like brian before he traveled, you know, with touring acts he's got some host home stories that, like I thought I had bad host home stories like I'm just like staying in a bunk bed below a kid. But no didn't you kill something? Didn't you kill a guy's cat? I didn't. I thought that was you.

Speaker 3 12:36

I did want to know. Um, well, there's, there's kind of two cat stories there's. So there's a buddy of mine out, he would go nameless. Uh, he was in a group, he was staying in a host home and uh, there was this cat that kept jumping up on the bed and blah, blah, blah. I mean just kept coming in the room and all sorts of stuff. I don't know why they didn't shut the door, but anyway, the cat kept jumping on the bed and his friend said I'm gonna take care of this cat. The next time the cat jumped on the bed, he just took a swipe at it and actually he was just trying to knock the cat off the bed but ended up knocking the cat into the wall and it killed the cat.

Speaker 1 13:10

No, yes, so there wasn't this guy's companion, yeah.

Speaker 3 13:14

Oh right, yeah, it was this. It was a single lady who had, just you know, at a church, this group came in it's ugly.

Speaker 2 13:21

This group came in it's ugly.

Speaker 3 13:24

Single lady With cats that would be a story better, but anyway they felt awful and my friend asked his friend's like dude, what do you want to do? He said I'll take care of it. I'll take care of it. So the next morning the lady is getting ready to take them back to the church, meets the van or whatever, and go, and my friend's like dude, what'd you do with that cat? And he's like I got it. I got it.

Speaker 3 13:49

So they get they get into the car, they back up, the lady backs up and they feel this. He put the dead cat behind the wheel of the car. So the lady thinks that she ran over her own cat.

Speaker 2 14:05

That was smart, though Brutal though oh nice.

Speaker 4 14:06

So the lady thinks that she ran over her own cat.

Speaker 2 14:07

That was smart, though Brutal, though Brutal, brutal.

Speaker 4 14:09

Go to her death thinking she killed her own cat yeah.

Speaker 1 14:11

Meanwhile that guy's like oh ma'am, what did you do? What did you do?

Speaker 3 14:16

What did you do so? And there's another story where me and my friend, kevin Perry, we were staying in a host home where we were in like a garage that was converted into a living room and where the garage door was it was just like a wall of windows and every time we tried to go to sleep there was a cat outside that would walk and it would trigger the motion, detecting lights every time. We were up, like all night, and Kevin was. He was allergic to cats, he was swelling up and then we had to go use the bathroom and we went you know, keep mind, this used to be the garage so we walked up the steps to go into the kitchen and they had locked the door. We couldn't even get in, so he couldn't even pee. Well, we went outside and peed. I mean, just like this is crazy. But yeah, I had.

Speaker 3 14:58

I had a two-week run again. This was in a uh, this is a band called witness it was. It was all college age kids, there was 12 of us. How in the world they let 12 of us out in a van and a truck just playing all over North Carolina. But it was so much fun. But there was a two week stretch in the middle of the summer where every house I stayed at had some sort of problem with the AC. Like I'd show up and they're like man, I'm sorry the AC's out, or they put me in a room like sorry, this is the only room we got for you and it's the only room that doesn't have AC.

Speaker 2 15:26

I'm like, are you kidding me? No, it was. Why would you put your guest in the one room?

Speaker 3 15:31

It was crazy. But then, the final straw, at the end of the two weeks, we were in Troy, north Carolina, and we had been there the year before I was in this group for three summers and I thought, man, I know this guy's going to pick me to stay at his house again. He was an older gentleman, he was extremely nice, but I had remembered that his AC was actually working, but he had it set on like 85. And I was, and by this point I was just beat and I went in there. It was me and another guy Uh, I can't remember his name, I think his name was Scott. We went in there. Actually, I told Scott I was like dude. I said this house is going to be 85 degrees, the windows are going to be open. It had been like 100 degrees that day.

Speaker 2 16:12

Oh no 112% humidity.

Speaker 4 16:14

I can't do it. Well, that is humid, 112? It's just wet everywhere.

Speaker 3 16:20

So we I went and sat down on the bed and I'm just like Lord, this is just too much First world problems. And then all of a sudden I felt something jumping up on my legs and I looked down it was fleas, just jumping up.

Speaker 3 16:36

And I'm like I'm out and luckily I was the van driver. So we had an equipment truck and a van. I was the van driver and I had the keys and I just told him I mean, I straight up lied to them. I didn't want to say, man, your house is filthy and it's hot and I'm getting attacked by fleas I just said, hey, they called a meeting, I got to go and Scott's going to go with me, and I went and paid out of my own pocket. Now we were getting paid. What were we getting paid?

Speaker 2 16:58

$105 a week.

Speaker 3 17:07

I think is Now. It was sketchy, I mean, it was kind of like rent by the hour sort of places.

Speaker 2 17:10

But man, it had cold AC. I put that thing and no fleas.

Speaker 3 17:12

I put that thing on Arctic blast and slept like a baby that night.

Speaker 2 17:15

But yeah, I mean most people were nice.

Speaker 3 17:19

Again, going back to my friend Kevin Perry, we had these bios we had to give people just to kind of let them know if we had any allergies, allergies or anything. So kevin put in his. He said you know his name, all that sort of stuff. And he put in there I will probably mow your lawn for a good glass of sweet tea. Well that someone. Nobody made him mow the lawn I thought that was, but he said every gallon of tea that was made was awful.

Speaker 3 17:42

He said you got to try this sweet tea and he's like okay, this is brown water.

Speaker 4 17:47

You, there's no sugar in it at all.

Speaker 3 17:49

So anyway.

Speaker 4 17:51

Are you still traveling, playing stuff?

Insurance Adjuster's Life of Travel

Speaker 3 17:53

No, I haven't done that since about 2015. I'm an independent insurance adjuster, so now I travel around the country and I get on people's roofs and if they've got hail damage or I get called out if there's hurricanes, big hell, storms, big wind storms, tornadoes, all this sort of stuff.

Speaker 2 18:13

You're always praying for a disaster.

Speaker 3 18:17

I want people to be okay, but I want their stuff to be demolished Because I get paid a commission. It's the opposite of what people think.

Speaker 2 18:24

I actually get paid a commission on the damages I find what's funny is people think you're just trying to get out of it, but really it's better for you if you find damage.

Speaker 3 18:32

Right. Yeah, I mean there are some gigs that I've taken that are just like day rate gigs. You just do like two claims a day. But the vast majority that I do, we go out, and I mean it's opposite of what people think we want. The insurance companies believe it or not. If there's damage they want to pay, at least in the experience that I've done and I work for. I won't say their names, but I work for big red and big blue, uh.

Speaker 2 18:57

So uh, so take that as it may um, but I could sing their jingles. You probably can can.

Speaker 3 19:06

But anyway, I get out there and, man, I'm trying to find stuff.

Speaker 4 19:10

Does Jake work there?

Speaker 2 19:12

Let me tell you what, Jake?

Speaker 3 19:15

he's getting a bunch of kickbacks for being in the insurance business. You're not supposed to do that. We're not even supposed to take a glass of water from anybody.

Speaker 1 19:23

Yeah, but Jake's out there with Patrick Mahomes. Yeah, he's getting like a pile of steaks. He's getting piles of steaks.

Speaker 4 19:28

It's everything Also.

Speaker 3 19:30

Jake was white, that first commercial.

Speaker 2 19:33

Jake was white. When he wore khakis, he was a white man.

Speaker 1 19:38

I mean I'm sure that white guys and black guys can both be called Jake.

Speaker 2 19:43

They can, but Jake from State Farm turned.

Speaker 1 19:45

State Farm hired a lot of Jakes. He had a transition. He did the opposite of the Michael Jackson move.

Speaker 2 19:51

He did. He went the other way.

Speaker 1 19:53

I don't know Big flow, no wait.

Speaker 2 19:56

No, not flow the other one, you're in good hands.

Speaker 1 19:59

I realized, as you were telling that story, I'd never. So you say hail and hell the same.

Speaker 3 20:06

Oh, they're the same. Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 1 20:07

So these people have had hell damage? Yeah, hell damage, hell damage, hell damage, not hail.

Speaker 3 20:11

Hail, hail.

Speaker 1 20:12

Hail, so you know, as you were saying. When he said how long you've been doing this, I realized right as we left for California that's so sorry about that Way to go.

Speaker 3 20:27

No, he was playing for other people.

Speaker 2 20:28

No, no, yeah, yeah, he was.

Speaker 1 20:29

No, no, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 20:31

No, no yeah.

Speaker 1 20:31

And we, you know, we also moved to Africa together. So Brian Brian and I were together on that very first trip to South Africa where we were doing kind of like a mission trip mission trip, but we were also like doing some seminars and a little bit of a talent search in south africa and uh, and then not on your own.

Speaker 2 20:51

No, no, you weren't searching for no, no, no, that'd been something but uh, yeah, so then we went, went back together.

Speaker 1 21:00

It was great. That was a really fun couple of months. Just that was being in south africa and what part of south africa cape town okay, diet africa. That Africa is what they even say it.

I hurt more than I've ever hurt in my life. Everything is sore. All of a sudden Don't feel a day over 80. Yeah, exactly. Well, I'm helping a friend out right now do a home remodel while I'm waiting for the storm to cease.

Speaker 1 21:42

Ashley, you're Ariel's husband.

Speaker 3 21:43

Yeah, yeah yeah, so today was all about. We've got this sander orbital sander on a pole that's hooked up to a vacuum. So all day I'm just holding it above my head and then painting in my shoulders. Right now I'm surprised I hadn't doubled over in this seat. I just feel it everywhere. But it's good man, I'm glad to be on this side of the dirt man. I fell yesterday, really.

Speaker 1 22:08

And you don't.

Speaker 2 22:08

Because, remember, you're supposed to, we're going to do a ladder, you're bringing a ladder over. Well, we tried to do it without the ladder. We have a bird living in our dryer vent.

Speaker 4 22:18

And she got an estimate. It was $800.

Speaker 1 22:23

Okay, this is what happens when Jennifer gets an estimate. These are the words always. Here's the estimate followed by.

Speaker 2 22:32

I think we can do this, and to her credit she changes our headlights on our cars. I mean she gets in it and she does it oh yeah, that's cool.

Speaker 3 22:39

I'm pretty cool, Brian. Well, that's cool. I've known this, I just didn't know the level of it. I mean, we've always been like remember, on the bus the joke was Jennifer's the only man here, so she calls me.

Speaker 1 22:50

I'm, you know she's back here, I'm in Pennsylvania and she goes. Hey, you know we got this estimate for the nest and like it's 800 bucks I think we can do it. And so she orders this tool that she yesterday was. She can. By the way, yesterday was kind of a house day so I had to snake both drains our shower and our kid's shower.

Speaker 3 23:12

It was disgusting.

Speaker 1 23:13

You have daughters, yes.

Speaker 4 23:14

Oh my gosh.

Speaker 1 23:15

Man, I'm like girls. There's got to be a way to keep your hair from going down the drain.

Speaker 4 23:20

What was that?

Speaker 1 23:22

I farted.

Speaker 4 23:22

Did you no?

Speaker 2 23:23

No, but what was that? What was that? I think it was a Jake brake.

Speaker 1 23:27

Oh, that's what your farts sound like, jake brakes. What was it I?

Speaker 2 23:30

heard it too. I think it was a Jake brake on the highway, but it was loud.

Speaker 1 23:35

See, Jennifer knows what a Jake brake is, Do you no See?

Speaker 2 23:38

there you go. It sounds like.

Speaker 3 23:39

That's how trucks slow down without using brakes, they use engine exhaust, they go.

Speaker 2 23:47

They make that noise and it makes them slow that noise, Anyways so she's like I think we can do it. So, yesterday afternoon we had, we got one of those brushes that are on a long thing and you hook it to your drill. It doesn't work. Oh yeah, FYI.

Speaker 1 23:59

So we pulled the thing out of the thing down in there, Of course all of our drills have bad batteries, so we get like 10 seconds at a time, and so we spent probably 30 minutes to an hour just shoving against this thing, oh, more than that, babe.

Speaker 1 24:19

And at one point this thing, all 30 feet of the thing. I was like, babe, there's no way, there's no way, there's 30 feet between here and the end of the house. And so the thing was doubling up. So I said, babe, we can just call Andy man, there's got to be a better way. And she goes, let's go outside. What if we stand on the Rubbermaid thing?

Speaker 2 24:36

We have a Rubbermaid thing out there, oh my gosh.

Speaker 3 24:44

Yes, that picture you, which, by the way, I want to stop you for a second. Janelle said and this probably shouldn't be podcast worthy she's like didn't you tell Jennifer you were going over yesterday? I was like no, I told her we could do it, but we didn't set a time. So did you think I was coming over yesterday?

Speaker 2 24:59

No, I didn't text you and it was not a firm plan.

Speaker 3 25:04

Oh, okay, good, good.

The Hilarious Ladder Mishap

Speaker 1 25:08

No, no was not a firm plan. Oh okay, good, good, no, no, no, just set it up and we'll get it done. I don't own a ladder, except for a little wooden bunk bed ladder that we have taken off when we deconstructed Hutch's bunk bed.

Speaker 2 25:17

If you would see this Rubbermaid thing. It's one of those things you put outside. It's got two doors on it and the lid comes up. It's full of old paint. I think it was literally put up when this house was built in, probably 95.

Speaker 1 25:27

Yeah.

Speaker 2 25:29

And he goes out there and brings the bunk bed ladder.

Speaker 1 25:31

No, hang on, Wait a minute To put on top of the. You looked at that ladder and said, well, we have that bunk bed ladder, but not to put on top of the.

Speaker 3 25:38

Rubbermaid thing and you've got a life insurance policy.

Speaker 4 25:42

Did she kick?

Speaker 1 25:43

the. So, I did put that ladder up there. I didn't even stand on the ladder. I got up on the Rubbermaid thing and I was like and she's like babe, no. And so I was like yeah she's right and as I was getting off the Rubbermaid thing, I fell backwards onto my back and then bounced off of the porch onto the ground.

Speaker 2 26:04

I haven't laughed this hard, did you? Laugh immediately I haven't laughed this hard. Oh gosh, Did you laugh immediately? I haven't laughed this hard in so long. Well, first it was scary, but then.

Speaker 1 26:12

I was looking up and saw her face the whole fall. Her face just got smaller and smaller. And then I laid there and I kind of was like am I broke? And I realized I'm actually fine, and then it was funny.

Speaker 2 26:27

Oh my gosh.

Speaker 1 26:27

And when I started laughing, she started laughing.

Speaker 2 26:29

I couldn't get it together.

Speaker 1 26:30

She's laughing and she keeps laughing and at the same time I'm now down on the ground trying to take the end of this limp pole.

Speaker 2 26:39

You've gotten up at this point.

Speaker 1 26:41

And shoving it and I got it in the hole.

Speaker 2 26:45

But it's oh my gosh.

Speaker 3 26:46

That's amazing if that thing's kind of like it was all floppy.

Speaker 2 26:49

That's why he Wow.

Speaker 3 26:51

That's what she said that's what she said Are we talking about the same thing, that's what she said.

Speaker 2 27:04

So we got this thing in the hole from on the ground and we're trying to shove it in, but there's no. Hutch comes home and he's like what are we doing out here? We're like, well, we're trying to take this limp thing and put it in this dryer vent. Oh my gosh, it was. Did you get the nest? No, no, no. And now we've got the pipe. It came along out, so now it looks like I feel like every bird in the yard was laughing at us. Like we built this nest with concrete.

Speaker 2 27:36

So Brian definitely has ladders.

Speaker 3 27:39

Oh, I got ladders coming out of my ears.

Speaker 2 27:40

We got a hand that's coming tomorrow.

Speaker 1 27:42

Oh do we? Well, yeah, because look even though you have a ladder. We still don't have the right tools.

Speaker 2 27:48

I feel like I've got a garage full of tools. That's what I'm saying. I feel like with the ladder we could do this.

Speaker 3 27:54

I feel like we could do it, I mean before you spend $800. We're not doing that.

Speaker 1 27:58

It's $150 for them to come clean the duct.

Speaker 3 28:00

Okay, well, whatever you want to do, I'll be glad to come over. We can probably talk about this after the show.

Speaker 2 28:08

We don't need to drag all these people.

Speaker 1 28:10

We got a lot of duct work content. You just spilt tea into her eye.

Speaker 2 28:14

Aw, you're welcome.

Speaker 1 28:16

This is two podcasts in a row now I know which, by the way. Brian is Winnie's favorite human.

Speaker 2 28:23

Favorite person. She's just sitting here staring at him. Lovingly, Do you pay?

Speaker 4 28:27

attention and stuff when you come over.

Speaker 3 28:29

Well, I don't know what happened. It's just she runs up to me and then immediately flips over so I can rub her belly, and she kind of whines when I do it too.

Speaker 2 28:37

But on the flip side.

Speaker 3 28:39

my dog loves Jeremy she does Bailey? Yeah, she'll just come and lay next to him. She is a proper cute dog.

Speaker 1 28:46

I mean Winnie's.

Speaker 3 28:47

Winnie's a cute dog. She's really cute.

Speaker 2 28:48

Bailey is the cutest, sweetest dog ever in the history of dog. Yeah, you guys won the dog lottery. Yeah.

Speaker 1 28:53

I mean their dog. You look at it, you look at her and she's like I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 28:57

Yeah, she's the sweetest.

Speaker 3 28:58

She has to be like that, because otherwise she'd be gone. I'm telling you. She was almost gone anyway, she barely, you barely hung in there with her. Now I'm like we're either going to be happy with a dog or we're going to be happy without a dog. But either way I'm going to be happy Because I'm like this dog. I mean, she's a puppy.

Speaker 1 29:13

You talk so big dude.

Speaker 3 29:18

Well, no, no, listen, I'm not going to put up with like there's a dog. When we go walk around the neighborhood, there's this dog that's always clawing at this front door and I'm like I'm not going to have a dog. That's tearing up the inside of my house. And, truthfully, I think she chewed when she was a puppy. She chewed one corner of the baseboard and that's it. We can leave food on the ottoman or something. Well, not just on the ottoman, on a plate.

Speaker 2 29:42

Actually, Janelle's done that. That's where our refrigerator is.

Speaker 3 29:48

Who wants to get up and walk to the refrigerator?

Speaker 1 29:49

Lift your feet up. Let me get my drink out of there.

Speaker 3 29:51

Our ottoman is a refrigerator, that's right, it's a good idea actually, but anyway, we've accidentally left food out and it's still there when we get back. I mean she really is a good dog. That's cool, but when she's gone, that's it. I'm not getting another dog, no, I'm the same way Count down the days.

Speaker 4 30:07

Yeah Well, your little.

Speaker 1 30:10

Hank oh my gosh, he has got cute going on.

Speaker 2 30:13

But he stinks.

Speaker 1 30:19

When Jennifer and me were away in Florida a couple weeks ago, my mother-in-law stayed, and our mother-in-law is the bleedingest bleeding heart. I mean, if anybody feels a feeling, my mother-in-law feels it on 10.

Speaker 2 30:27

Really, yeah, and so she has called us to ask about the dog.

Speaker 1 30:30

Oh, how is Winnie?

Speaker 2 30:33

Oh, she's so worried about the dog and Jennifer's like Mom.

Speaker 1 30:34

I don't know, she's a dog. She's laying here by the fire. She seems fine, yeah, but.

Speaker 2 30:39

Winnie had been depressed. Winnie, when Mom left, was depressed.

Speaker 4 30:43

Are you more like your mom or Janelle, or neither?

Speaker 2 30:46

Or it depends on what you're talking about. Okay, in certain ways we have you know.

Speaker 4 30:53

Are you and your sister alike? Are they a lot alike, her and Janelle?

Speaker 3 30:58

In some ways, yes, I would say, janelle is probably more like my mother-in-law.

Speaker 2 31:04

Think so. Well, she's a lot like. She was a lot like my dad. Yeah, true, she is a lot like my dad was. That's what I meant. She was a lot like my dad. Yeah, true, she is a lot like my dad was. That's what I meant she did. She's not dead. My dad is dead. Pretty sedentary.

Speaker 1 31:18

You know she lays on her back a lot. Smells like ash. Good old death comedy Got dark.

Speaker 3 31:27

But you know what I don't know? I tell her I'm like look you're, you're, you're the good parts of your parents. Not that I mean not saying there's awful parts to parents, but you know, I, I Janelle is I don't know, she's wonderful.

Speaker 2 31:44

She's a lot like my dad, though I think I think, and I are born on the same day, five years apart. She's older.

Speaker 1 31:50

You know we should do an Else Girls podcast.

Speaker 3 31:54

Oh man, that would be, funny.

Speaker 1 31:55

Just the three of you together.

Speaker 2 31:57

Nothing would ever get accomplished.

Speaker 1 31:59

Yeah, Chantel would hijack. Chantel is really funny. The oldest daughter.

Speaker 2 32:03

And Janelle would just sit here because she would just be, yeah, she wouldn't say much.

Speaker 3 32:09

Yeah, she'd be wondering what to say. Do I say?

Speaker 1 32:11

it? No, I'm not. Yeah, janelle, she would be the one that would be the most censored, for sure.

Speaker 2 32:17

Yeah.

Speaker 1 32:17

I mean, so you know, brian and Janelle have two boys and Joshua and Levi are their names and they're awesome kids. I mean they are good kids. Like between our two, like I wouldn't worry about the four of our kids together. They would be safer than the four parents.

Speaker 3 32:34

Right.

Speaker 1 32:41

I mean, but one night man we got to talking about poop and fart and wipe and you know, of course, brian me, brian me, the two boys, we were all in, but Janelle, you could tell she was going. Why are we talking about this? Yeah, she was done I was like, because we can.

Speaker 2 32:51

She was done. I was like because we can. She was done Because it's funny. She's like yeah, I don't like it.

Speaker 3 32:54

Well, men never inherently grow older than 12 years old, mentally anyway. I mean all that stuff's funny. But you know, poor Janelle. I mean you know Jennifer's got Sadie, but Janelle has nobody over there.

Speaker 1 33:10

I mean that stuff, like I mean, just like you said, we are just junior high boys, yeah, like I mean the other day we were at the hotel. I mean this isn't going to be great for the audio part, but Jennifer and me walked into the hotel and I've never done this before. But I walked in and normally I wave like side to side or the kind of the. But I did this, I don't know why.

Speaker 2 33:34

There was a woman at the counter. It's a squeezing motion.

Speaker 1 33:36

Instead of waving with my fingers, I did all five fingers squeezing.

Speaker 2 33:41

I don't know why you did your top knuckles.

Speaker 1 33:43

Yeah, so I squeezed. That's weird, like you'd be squeezing an orange or something.

Speaker 2 33:48

An orange, that's what it would be.

Speaker 1 33:52

And I looked at her, I looked at jennifer. I said I just waved at that woman like this and she laughed and then we get into the room. And we get into the room and she uh, she's like babe. She yells at me from the shower get me some shampoo. And I was like I don't have any. She's like, go see if the desk has any. So I go up to the desk. No, I asked the lady do you guys have any extra shampoo? She gives me some and as I left.

Speaker 2 34:16

No, this is different, but go ahead, go ahead, tell me no, we you squeezed at the lady. One day, sons of biscuits sorry, I spilled coffee.

Speaker 4 34:24

I'm so sorry. The recorder, though.

Speaker 2 34:26

We're good okay uh, you squeezed at the lady one the next day. We were walking by and you farted.

Speaker 1 34:33

You farted at the lady.

Speaker 4 34:34

I did he was talking to her about something.

Speaker 1 34:36

I did not at her.

Speaker 2 34:38

He was walking away and literally farted and she laughed she heard it, she totally heard it, she laughed and he was like I just farted and I was like she totally heard it. So then you had to go back and talk to the lady after you farted.

Speaker 1 34:55

After you farted, I told her. I said, please don't make me go get shampoo. I just farted in front of this woman and it wasn't like a fart, it was a brrrr. Why did you not know it was going to happen?

Speaker 4 35:06

It was a jet break all the way. It just fell out. That's the age thing it fell out, yeah.

Speaker 2 35:11

Walking farts that's what Dave calls it you get to a certain age, you just fart in public all the time Crop dusting. I mean like Line at Publix, that's right. Which brings us to the trivia as us being 80s people.

Speaker 1 35:22

Oh right, we're 80s people and Brian is a huge Van Halen fan.

Speaker 2 35:25

I was looking up. Do you want me to get something?

Speaker 1 35:28

No, I'm good, I was going to do like this Babe, just kind of no no, you're good.

Speaker 2 35:33

Yeah, there you go. Here I am. What are you going to do with your hand? I don't know. Wipe it on Winnie.

Speaker 4 35:37

You literally just wiped the coffee off. She's a good girl.

Speaker 2 35:44

You put tea in her eye and coffee. How many beverages With that coffee on her? You think, yeah, for a minute. That though, anyways so.

Speaker 1 35:52

I thought this afternoon I'm going to print out a little Van Halen trivia.

Speaker 2 35:55

And as I was doing that, I thought you know what.

Speaker 1 35:57

It might be more fun to see how much 80s knowledge that we have. Because, we're all children of the 80s, but we he grew up loving metal music rock and roll, metallica Van Halen. Oh yeah. Which music? Rock and roll, metallica Van Halen? Oh yeah. Do you know the name of their band before they were Van Halen? Mammoth, mammoth, yeah. I never knew that it's a great name.

Speaker 1 36:24

Speaker 1 37:09

Yeah, he's awesome. So he grew up listening to pretty hard rock music. Jennifer grew up listening to country and I'm pop through and through, Like I did not listen to any of their stuff. So I thought, well, you know, we kind of had three different childhoods.

Speaker 4 37:24

It was about 90 cents, yeah, now yeah. But the problem was is several years later, like being from the south, when I would get sick, like throw up that sort of stuff, I would drink coke to settle my stomach.

Speaker 2 45:48

Gone with the wind okay it is so boring well and also the.

Speaker 1 46:19

This song makes you want to commit it does because it is so depressing and then you hear, you just see it.

Speaker 3 46:24

I don't know if you hear it. I say the theme for the hulk is probably maybe more depressing than that. I can't remember, but I think they use the lowest key on the piano. The dude is just walking down the street by himself.

We never link it?

Speaker 4 47:10

Do we have show notes? Yeah, we do, but we just forget a lot.

Speaker 2 47:13

Because everyone needs to be able to see Sean sings the piano. Yeah, it is worth it. I mean he can maybe sing an octave of the piano. And then he'll hit a key. You know who you're talking to right.

Speaker 1 47:23

He keeps going up and it'll be like he's singing the he thinks he's doing the whole thing.
