Speaker 1:So thank you, gossip boutique for being our grand sponsor.
Speaker 2:Thank you very much all right, so let's talk about first our daddies okay.
Speaker 1:okay, now preface this with your, your daddy. Your daddy is no longer with us. Yes, mine is Okay, and so you have, your memories will be memories. Some of my things that I will talk about are probably like ongoing things, I don't know. I just felt the need to clarify that. Yeah, and when I asked, I did a little questionnaire on my Facebook and I wanted people to weigh in to see, uh, like, give me some memories or things that are still happening, whatever with your daddies. And I'm like man, this is. This could honestly be a touchy thing for a lot of people, because I didn't want, like you, bring up good memories, but then it's painful, you know, when your daddy's not around too. Yeah, and so I mean, you feel okay about talking about your daddy, right?
Speaker 2:well, yeah, yeah, that's one of the ways to keep him alive to me. You know like just kind of remembering fun things we did together, or you know there's there's other things. But you know, yes, I guess what I, I guess what I. Just what really hurts is that he can't be a part of all of this.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:You know and the kids' lives. But I don't mind talking about him because you know, he made me, the gal I am today, and he'd be proud of me.
Speaker 1:I tell you, I tell you what He'd be proud of me, and I bet he would laugh too. I mean, you got to get your sense of humor from somebody and I feel like it must. It's him, it had to be. I mean, not that your mom is not funny, but I'm just like he must have been a character.
Speaker 2:It's definitely my daddy, it's definitely my daddy. We like he, just he would give us nicknames and just say little silly things, or, like you know, I see it so much like whenever I do stuff with my kids, or like just little things, and they'll just be like mom. Really, I just remember my dad doing that, you know. So, yeah, no, it's fine, it's fine so but uh, I don't know like, I guess one of my best memories with my daddy, I this one's sticking out my mind right now and I have like a thousand of them yeah but my daddy and I, when I was in high school okay, I had no vehicle he had gotten this 1991 Mustang convertible.
Speaker 2:Now, all my friends had, like you know, some of the Corollas and you know whatever. Practical cars. And yeah, I had a 1991 Mustang convertible Girl.
Speaker 1:that's because your dad wanted, it right, I mean.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but it was kind of busted okay and so like we kind of fixed it up together. You know like we put some new headlights on it, because the headlights was all yellow and messed up. He showed me how to do that. We kind of worked on it together. We put a new stereo system in it. What?
Speaker 1:color was it? It was white.
Speaker 2:Oh, it had the red interior drop top. Oh, a convertible. But listen, this is not like the convertibles of today. No, like I had to press a button and we was lucky if the button took it all the way back. So me and my partner Lacey, we'd get out of the car and we have to like we had to get on that. It was a whole deal. We thought we was the best.
Speaker 1:I'll bet I can imagine cruising around in a mustang convertible listen.
Speaker 2:We took the streets and that little convert burned it up.
Speaker 2:I bet burned them streets, didn't matter if it was freezing. You would never you would, you would never know, you would never. And then one time, me and my, uh, my cousin hannah, we was going to um, we was going to the mall and I thought, you know, well, I met my cousin hannah, she's older than me, like I want to be cool, whatever. Well, in my car, if it rained, the rain was coming in a car, okay, so like it would rain in our laps, yeah, it was busted but on a nice sunny day it was lit and my daddy helped me get it street ready.
Speaker 2:You understand street ready, so that's one of my favorite. Yeah, you know things that we did together, you know, and it was just me and him standing outside. I'm sure my mama has a picture of that. I'd like we did together, you know, and it was just me and him standing outside. I'm sure my mom has a picture of that. I'd like to pull that out, you know, and look at those again.
Speaker 2:Yes, but that was one of my favorite memories with my dad and then, when he was really, when I was really young, we would ride to the grocery store and he would blast Metallica. Oh, rocking out, why not, why not? I knew way too much about the needle and the spoon before I should have.
Speaker 1:Oh well, you didn't probably probably know what that meant, though you know as a little kid, we would dance around in the living room singing it.
Speaker 2:Oh, you know, can't you smell that smell?
Speaker 1:oh jesus, holy mary mother oh, I love you, daddy I do my dad.
Speaker 1:My dad has always liked rock music. I don't remember, I don't really remember anything too crazy metal wise, but my daddy plays instruments. He plays the drums, he plays the guitar. Um, probably knows how to, probably could play the piano too, uh, but I mean always guitar and he's, as long as I can remember, has had a guitar or two, or acoustic or electric or amps and all those things. And um, we even had at our house in Gaton he had a music room and he used to be in a little christian band and they would go to different little festivals and play and they would practice in his music room and even recorded some songs and stuff and he didn't try to make you sing or did you sing? I I did, but um, not regularly. Like I could carry a tune and I even recorded some things for him one time, like he needed someone to sing. What is it whenever? Like the different, not the main vocals, but it's like the, the harmony, harmony, thank you. He had me sing harmony on a few things yeah.
Speaker 1:And I was young, I mean probably 12 or 13, I guess maybe. But yeah, daddy's always been into music and he still plays guitar. We should jam. Oh, he can play.
Speaker 2:We should jam. I'd like to jam and sing and he play, and that would be fun.
Speaker 1:You would love that. Oh, yes, okay.
Speaker 2:I will harmonize. That would be so fun. No, joe went um and my, my daughter went and saw, like she saw that whole room and she was mesmerized, oh yeah my daddy.
Speaker 1:He has a small, much smaller version of what he used to have, but now he still has his music room mesmerized by that.
Speaker 2:She just thought that was the best thing in the whole entire world yeah, that's sweet.
Speaker 1:I can remember anytime, uh, I'd be like riding in the car with him or uh sitting next to him, or whatever his his hands would be moving like this and he still probably still does this, like in his mind. He's like doing chords playing chords in his mind and his hands would just be like that and be like you, you playing something, daddy's like. Yeah, in his mind he's playing that's so funny.
Speaker 2:My dad did that too with the accordion. Well, I said that in, oh yeah, in the steve riley when, um, he did that too, like you play accordion on the steering wheel or like on the side of his pants, you know, and I'm like I guess the music's in there yeah, now, chase does that, but he don't know how to play the accordion or the guitar.
Speaker 1:What he does, but it looks like he does.
Speaker 2:Come on, like he can make you believe. You know he's heard all these old Cajun songs all his life In his mind, baby he's playing it.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, Him. And.
Speaker 2:Wayne too, they are like this. I love it, so it's funny. You ought to notice that.
Speaker 1:I will try to notice that.
Speaker 2:Oh my God, that's, funny.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so daddy's always been into music and also cars. Like he always had a fixer up something going on. I can remember being very little and him like he's had Mustangs, he's plural. He's had, not a Corvette. What's the other one, camaro? I so wish he'd have kept that camaro, like I won't. I look back on pictures and I'm like daddy, why you got rid of that camaro? But he would. You know the joy of it is fixing it up. He'd even like he repainted them and everything and then he'd sell it off and he'd get another one, I know, but I think like tim the two-man tail, kind of yeah, I guess you know, yeah, and I can remember him like uh putting some stuff on.
Speaker 1:He had a uh, oh, it was pink. He got it was pink, it was a um roadrunner, okay, and it was pink and he put some stuff on the paint and it just started bubbling up like it bubbled up all the paint and I can remember like wanting to go scrape it and he no, you can't touch that, it's like chemicals or whatever but like, yeah, just that's memories.
Speaker 1:I have like to get the paint off of it. Yeah, like it just made the paint bubble up. Oh, interesting, it's interesting, oh and uh, like there's pictures of me as just maybe three or four years old and he had an old black chevy truck that he fixed up and stuff, so he's fun, yeah, and he would take me to town, get a snow cone in that truck and I remember that very vividly, windows down and everything probably didn't have no car seat or nothing. Back then it was just like strapping your seatbelt and go.
Speaker 1:you know, yeah, he also had a daddy, always had motorcycles too. I say always. There was a when I was little he had a motorcycle and like a dirt bike type thing. And then I mean my daddy, he was a manly man, yeah, like you get that, but not a macho. He was never macho like manly in the best way. And I look back at pictures and I'm like mama. I see why he was with daddy. Like he whoo handsome, like a man's man, Okay, Anyway.
Speaker 2:That's so funny. I think the same thing about my daddy. Right, my daddy had some guns, yeah, some guns.
Speaker 1:And look, he had some nunchucks. He was badass with his nunchucks Like Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris of a daddy.
Speaker 2:My daddy had, like my daddy had a frullet, okay, like it was like a mullet, okay, but not long, yeah, you know. Oh, like it was like a mullet, okay, but not long, yeah, you know, and it was he would. He would get it firm. Oh, yes, I bet he would. So it would be wavy like no, it was curly I can't wait for you to see a picture of this.
Speaker 2:And he had, like always, a beard, but he kind of looked, you know, like yeah, like that type like chuck nurse, and put a whooping on you know what? My daddy looked like Toby Keith. Okay, okay, okay and listen, not chucking around. All right, what a man it was. He was a man's man. Now I love it.

Speaker 1:And now let me say I am not an only child, but my brother is almost eight years older than me, so I mean, when he was there was a big age gap, so I was almost kind of like an only child at one point. So I don't know, I felt the need to to say that, because it's not like I wasn't sharing that time with my siblings, it was just me, it was just you. So we would in the evenings, before bed, we trying to wind down or whatever. Now, as a mama, I'm seeing why they did this, because it was a way to wind me down before bed. And Before bed we'd go.
Speaker 1:I'd go in my mom and daddy's bed, which was already like a big deal because I wasn't allowed to sleep in there with them, but you know, everybody had taken their baths or whatever. Mom and daddy would get in bed and I'd go climb up and we would talk about me and my daddy and it could have been about anything. Could have been about the day Could have been about. Most of the time was about Astroworld. Okay, if we already talked about astroworld, in one of those episodes because that was my favorite place to go.
Speaker 1:I'd go ride the rides at astroworld. It was a theme park, okay, so precious I know. Or we talk about the beach. I'd love to go, we'd go to the beach for a vacation or whatever. So it was always usually something just that I loved or that excited me and we would. Let's talk about, daddy, let's talk about.
Speaker 2:Let's talk about yes, so I could see Roz doing that. Let's talk about oh yeah.
Speaker 1:I couldn't have been more than three or four years old, but I remember sitting on my daddy's chest. We're talking about, talking about, yeah whatever you want.
Speaker 2:Yes, that's so precious and I had that.
Speaker 1:I had like a almost like a full circle moment whenever before I got married, it was like I'm kind of getting emotional. It was it was the week of my wedding, okay, and I realized like I was at home with my mom and daddy and I'm like this is probably the last time I'll be alone with them before I marry my husband and we they, we were.
Speaker 2:I don't even know how it happened.
Speaker 1:But we ended up in their room and we were all like on, daddy was kind of like leaning on the bed, me and mama was sitting on the bed and I thought about the talk about yeah, yeah, now you got me missing, I know, and that's something and thank god, I mean my daddy, my I live next door to my mom and daddy because I wouldn't have that any other way you could go bother him whenever I can go see him and my mama whenever and do, and I love just to go pop in anytime I can and then my kids are getting to see them every day and it's like, yes, that's so special.
Speaker 1:Rhea, my youngest. That's her best friend. You hear me Really. Her papa, my daddy, is her best friend. She loves him so much, anytime, like wanting to go. Who's picking us up at school today? Well, grammy's, my mother-in-law's picking them up, grammy's picking y'all up. Oh, can you ask papa to pick us up? I'm like she just loves him, loves Papa, loves Papa, and Brynn's the opposite. Well, not opposite, but like Brynn loves Miss Connie, she's Grammy's best friend. And Rhea just took to my daddy and I just love to see their little friendship.
Speaker 2:Like it just reminds me of.
Speaker 1:I was such a daddy's girl growing up and still am. Like I could aggravate my mama and get over it. But if I disappointed my daddy or my daddy fussed heartbroken, you hear me. Oh yeah, you know that I just could not bear with disappointing my daddy get after us.
Speaker 2:Man, I knew, I knew it meant business if my daddy stepped in my mama. I was in my mama's pocket all the time.
Speaker 1:I was always bothering my mama.
Speaker 2:But if my daddy stepped in?
Speaker 2:and there was a time when my daddy okay, I got a story about my daddy too my daddy got hurt, okay, so he worked on big air conditioners, like he worked on the Superdome air conditioner, whatever. And then he got worked on the superdome air conditioner, whatever, and then he got hurt, like on the job. So then for years he was home, okay, and we didn't have, um, we didn't have a whole lot. That christmas, yeah, one of those christmas rough, and my jackie gave us each a hundred dollars, me and my sister, okay, and they were like go get something for your mama and daddy and for your family members, like your sister, like go shop for each other, oh, with this, okay, I don't remember, maybe it was I don't know some money and she said go get y'all some, uh, some Christmas presents.
Speaker 2:We were young, okay, like I'm fifth grade, my sister might have been first grade, kindergarten, and my daddy he couldn't get up out of the seat, out of the couch, okay, and he had just had surgery on his knee and we were like he was like you know what I need? I need a Nerf gun for y'all. I can get y'all attention. Sometimes we walk around with the Walkman, yeah.
Speaker 1:Like Isla does.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I can get y'all attention Sometimes we walk around with the Walkman yeah, like Isla does, yeah, yeah. And so I bought my daddy a Nerf gun that. Christmas and he thought it was so funny. And look, we had so much fun. And he just sit in his chair and shoot us with a Nerf gun, pop y'all with it.
Speaker 1:It was entertaining for him and he was like man, they really do, listen to me, yeah, listen to me. Yeah. So, oh, man, that was a good, that was a good one, that's a good memory. But yeah, listen, if y'all watching us on youtube, please leave, leave a comment and let us know a sweet memory or a funny memory, or maybe your daddy's still alive and I hope you know, and and there's still, there's just some things that he says that it's like oh, that's my daddy, you know, my daddy says that all the time, or whatever.

Speaker 1:Yes, since we did just ask anyone listening on YouTube or watching on YouTube right now to weigh in on memories of their daddy, I want to read some comments from our viewers on Facebook. I said Father's Day is coming up and we want your input on. You know, tell us about your dad, tell us what he says. That's just so, dad. Any stories funnier the better. Sweet moments whatever.
Speaker 2:Oh, we should have told dad jokes on this one.
Speaker 1:Oh man, why, why? Oh we, why, why? Oh, we could have did a dad joke episode, because dads are just famous for that. They're just so good at it. Okay, so let me read you some of the things from people. Okay so, mia said, every time my dad eats something and someone says how was it? He always says, well, it's better than a polka-dye. I'm like, okay, okay.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I guess your nose is runny and you think it's funny, but it's not. I read that one this morning. That's a dad joke. Let's see, put the war paint on, take the war paint off. Put the war paint on, take the war paint off. He called makeup war paint.
Speaker 2:War paint. Chase calls it that sometimes.
Speaker 1:Oh, another makeup comment. My daddy had a thing about us girls wearing makeup, so when we would put on makeup and go to leave the house, he would stop and tell us y'all going to the Mardi Gras.
Speaker 2:Which meant we needed to go back in and wash our face. Let's see y'all think y'all going somewhere in that that's right.
Speaker 1:When something or someone is of no use, throw it in the bayou when he's when asked why he's having a beer at 7 am. Lighten up, baby, it's the holidays, mm-hmm, that's different.
Speaker 2:That's different. Vacation time, holidays you can have a beer. It's 5 o'clock anytime, anytime, anytime.
Speaker 1:My daddy loved Westerns and the like. When it was time to leave to go somewhere, he'd tell us to grab our hat and mount up. Aw, was time to leave to go somewhere, he'd tell us to grab our hat and mount up oh cute, that is cute.
Speaker 2:I wonder where. I guess it doesn't really matter, huh no, they didn't some of them.
Speaker 1:They didn't say where they all from, but I probably say their names I should. Okay, this is from mandy. Growing up, it was always my job to bring the newspaper in for my daddy when he got home from work. He'd always tell me mandy, go out and get the paper for me, mandy, go out and get the paper for me. I got a bone in my leg and I'd always do it because I thought something was wrong with my daddy's leg. She said. I'm ashamed to say it took me till I was almost 30 years old to really stop and think that we all have a bone in our leg.
Speaker 2:That's such a dad thing to say what about whenever you, whenever you say, my back hurts, when you little and the old people, they would say you don't have a back yeah, I never heard that, oh, you don't even have a back.
Speaker 1:I don't want to hear that. Let's see now this sounds like must be a Cajun daddy. My daddy told me he was sorry he was not at every one of my birthday parties because it was turned duck hunting season you know my true story my husband. When we were trying to have kids, he was like listen, we need to plan this because we can't have a birthday during hunting season or around Mardi Gras.
Speaker 2:Yep, I'm like dang we got to plan this out and see sometimes it can't be planned like that. No, it can't. Look at my friend she's going to have a baby for a rice festival and that's her Christmas.
Speaker 1:I know, let's see A lot of them were saying that daddy would take them fishing or camping a lot. You know that's great memories.
Speaker 2:Camping. I take a nap at my daddy in the pop-up camper.
Speaker 1:I don't have a lot of Miss Carol. I don't have a lot of memories of my daddy, but one that stands out. I was maybe 10 or 11. I was trying to teach myself to dance. He had me stand on his feet and dance with me. I can remember doing that at a wedding, like standing on my daddy's feet. Yeah, that's so sweet. Turn the lights off when you're not in the room, Nathan. Turn them lights off. Who's in the bathroom? Nobody. Why are the lights on?
Speaker 2:My daddy would sing every light in my house is on. Chase does it too. Chase does it too. Chase does the same thing. Yeah, because it's so annoying, oh.
Speaker 1:When I was old enough, my dad always brought me a cup of coffee a morning coffee to my bedside. He would often take me hunting, even though I was old enough.
