Meet The Wades

On this episode of Socially Stirred, I’m sitting down with Ryan and Disa Wade of The Wade Group for a fun and honest conversation about business, family, and community.

We talk about what it’s like working together as a husband and wife team, raising kids while running a successful real estate business, and staying involved in the community they call home. Ryan and Disa share stories from their journey, lessons they’ve learned along the way, and what keeps them motivated both in business and life. 

And because no Socially Stirred episode is complete without a little fun, we finish things off with some hot takes and hard pass questions that led to plenty of laughs and a few surprising answers.

Grab a drink and get to know The Wades!

Transcript

SPEAKER_02 0:17

Hey guys, welcome back to another episode of Socially Stirred. Today I have some dear friends of mine on the pod. I'm so excited. And if you guys want to introduce yourself, go right ahead.

SPEAKER_00 0:31

I am Ryan Wade.

SPEAKER_01 0:33

And I'm Deesa Wade, and we're so excited to be here. How are you guys? I'm doing good. It's Friday. Yay!

SPEAKER_00 0:40

Yay, yay! It's Friday.

SPEAKER_02 0:42

I've been, I know we talked about this for how long? Like months, months. Um, not months. I think it's been at least a year.

SPEAKER_00 0:49

Yeah, at least a year. I think that it was first brought up during oh, the Gala baseball event last year. The base ball dinner. The baseball dinner. The Wildcat baseball dinner. That was the last time it was brought. I think that was the first time it was brought up, and then since it was like, we gotta do it. And then it was like holidays, we gotta do it.

SPEAKER_02 1:09

Well, you guys have a lot of kids. You're busy. We do. We are busy too. So, you know, hey, we're hey, it made it out of the group chat.

SPEAKER_00 1:18

That's all that matters. We're here now.

SPEAKER_02 1:20

So why don't you guys tell your why don't you guys tell all the listeners a little bit about yourself, what you guys do, what you're involved in, how you became to be Wade Real Estate Group.

SPEAKER_01 1:31

Okay, yes. Well, Ryan and I are both realtors here in our little tiny town of Taft, and we are also parents to four boys ranging from age five to 19, which is fun and exciting. That's a big spread. Yes, it's fun and exciting. Um, so that always keeps us on our toes. Um, but yeah, we're both in the real estate industry, we're both agents. We are also on our leadership council at our brokerage, which has been very exciting and a lot of new growth for us this time.

SPEAKER_02 2:04

Because that's the that's been a new thing, right? Because you guys kind of branched out a little bit to other areas.

SPEAKER_00 2:10

So, what we did is we were with EXP for a long time. Um, that was the last brokerage we were at. And then we in 2025 we switched over to KW, Code Williams Luxury. And after that, after a couple of months, we were offered the opportunity to be part of the ALC. And so that early opened a lot of doors for us across the board of really trying to get our footprint into the Bakersfield and outline of the areas.

SPEAKER_02 2:36

Well, because Bakersfield is growing. I was just reading something the other day, um, and it's like one of the top cities that's growing in California. It definitely is, which is crazy because you guys have lived here as long as I have lived here, and it's just it's crazy to see how much it's expanded. And for you guys to be a part of that, I think that is awesome because you know, hey, we all want to get, you know, we all want to grow. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 3:02

Well, it's like I was in the oil industry for 15 years before even into real estate, um, mostly as a production on a rig hand as a rig hand. And so that's what's really different for me is being that like the transition out of those years ago, eight years I've been doing this now. Um I mean, I was sitting next to a rig studying for my state exam, like just doing it. And because like I knew that I didn't want to be doing this no more, but here I am like as of this recording, I interviewed for you know a directorship or a board for the association of realtors in Bakersfield, and I mean like that's not that's over 2,400 agents that I'd be like representing and stuff like that. So, and it's like and sitting in front of a group of nine of the biggest dogs in the real estate industry in Bakersfield, it was very humbling and it's very it's a blessing. But I you know, tell me nine years ago that's where I'm gonna be saying, I'm gonna tell you lying, you know what I'm saying? And that's that's the cool part about it, is just like that's what I love about what we do.

SPEAKER_02 4:02

Yeah, uh well, I remember when you guys kind of were first starting out, but I really noticed your like cute little videos, it you know, and look at you guys now. Yes, like you're working, you know, you're expanding a lot. So do you is it just the two of you? Like, how does your business work? Like, are you in a big office now? Like, do you have co-workers? Like, how does that sound, you know? Because you guys worked for just the two of you for a long time, right?

SPEAKER_00 4:30

Yes, it is just the two of us. We're Wade group is just Disa and I in that sense. So we really don't have we, I mean, our goal is to expand. Okay. Um we would like to get some agents, we'd like to have two agents by the end of the year working underneath us, mostly buyers' agents in that sense, and the opportunity, and that's where that's what we would like. And then we also have a 19-year-old son who really doesn't have like a real sense of direction right now, and we're like does any 19-year-old have a good direction anywhere? Like, bro, like get your real estate license. I'm not saying, I'm not saying you have to do it forever.

SPEAKER_02 5:04

But like, it's a good start.

SPEAKER_00 5:06

Your mom and dad are in it. Yeah, we're not gonna be like, oh, see you later. We're gonna give you business. Like, we get a new buyer, we're like, here you go, man. You know what I'm saying? Like, if something we don't want to do or something that we want to do, we're gonna bring you in on it so you can learn it. But that's where it's just kind of like, whatever.

SPEAKER_01 5:19

But um, yeah, that's I think that we really balance each other out really well because we both have different strengths, you know. I'm a little more detail-oriented. Ryan is great at talking on the phone, talking to people. So I think that has worked for us for a really long time, but I think we can both see that it would be very beneficial to have an agent, you know, underneath us to be able to train someone. I think we have enough knowledge and experience, and then being on this leadership council, it has brought us more to the Bakersfield office, which is like the main Keller Williams office.

SPEAKER_02 5:56

Like I said, if Bakersfield's growing so much, you guys get in on it, and then Tejones, you know, gonna start popping off out there. So that's amazing.

SPEAKER_01 6:04

Yeah, so we're trying to take full advantage of all of those doors. Ryan wants to get into Tejone because it's kind of blow up.

SPEAKER_02 6:13

I kind I kind of want to move out there.

SPEAKER_00 6:15

I mean, I would love to five different competitions.

SPEAKER_02 6:18

I mean, not that I don't love where we live, but it's just changing and I don't know if it's for the better sometimes. And so I would love to move away, but seeing now how Bakersfield's growing and how things are going, it's like, do I want to move away? Is Bakersfield gonna be the next LA? Like we're already here, maybe you know, see what happens. So I I I'm not gonna, you know, I'll say not go out there, but I think it would be great, you know, just a different, a different change of pace, you know. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 6:50

We haven't we realize we love our community. We do. No, for sure. I do too. Yeah. Our sons of our Drisson, our 19-year-old, he's a fourth generation wildcat who graduated, and we've we're seriously considering we'll we'll probably be in bigger school before Broxen gets into high school because of the city. There's just more opportunities.

SPEAKER_02 7:10

And that's that's the that's that's the thing that drives everybody, right? Opportunity. If you're not growing, you're you're just being stuck. Especially with schools, yes, that's where education and just everything. That's the biggest thing.

SPEAKER_00 7:21

Then we can pick over there, we can put them in a in a BCHS, or hey, let's move to this school district and now our kids here instead of being like everybody's going to one school. And unfortunately, it's not like you said, it's it's changing and it's not it's not it's not for the benefit of um where we where we are in that sense. I I totally understand. And that's where I but no, I think that to Hones is gonna be is gonna be great. Like I'm gonna put 30,000 homes out there in five different phases, five different communities. It's gonna be huge. Well, and the the new casino, uh which I haven't been out there yet.

SPEAKER_02 7:56

Have you guys got to do that?

SPEAKER_01 7:57

We have not been out there either.

SPEAKER_00 7:59

We're supposed to go Wednesday, but we we made a I thought I was the only one, so I'm glad that you guys come in there.

SPEAKER_02 8:07

I wanted to go, I wanted to go on opening day. I was like, I took off work early. I'm like, I'm going out there. And Robert's like, you're insane. I'm like, what? That's who that's when you win jackpots. Yeah, well, I saw on TikTok and on Instagram, it was a madhouse. Like you couldn't even drive within like 10 miles of that place. He's all so you're still going? I'm all no, no, and guess who still hasn't been out there? Yeah, but it looks amazing, and everybody says it's really nice. They've been paying out thousands of dollars all the time. I'm like, I could have got some of that.

SPEAKER_00 8:40

We have a realtor who's big into gambling. She's like a casino like queen. Like she owns a table because she used to go, she'd go to Eagle Mountain and she's been like 10, 15, 20,000. I'm talking about big, big pots. See?

SPEAKER_02 8:52

And so she goes to the home and I'm happy when I win 500 or even $200 still.

SPEAKER_00 9:00

And so she's got to be like when they all like try to do a raffle for a car, it's got a VIP membership thing. She was one of the people who's like, Oh, we've got to win me a car. And I'm like, bro, let's go.

SPEAKER_02 9:08

So, okay, if you if that happened to you, would you take the money or take the car? I would take the money. Money. Money.

SPEAKER_00 9:14

Depreciation. The cars are depreciated so fast that you're gonna, and then you could always reinvest your money into a high yield savings account or reinvest into dividends, and you're gonna get paid huge.

SPEAKER_02 9:23

Okay, well, that sounds really responsible. Uh, there's no plan to audit yet.

SPEAKER_00 9:28

No, oh, you'll get even 10. Listen, but no, but yeah. But you have a husband who works in the oil industry. But I have a husband who does all that stuff.

SPEAKER_02 9:37

Yeah, liability.

SPEAKER_00 9:39

Okay. Robert, your husband knows exactly. He's like, we're good for you can do whatever you want.

SPEAKER_02 9:46

No, he never says, Ryan, no. No, he never says that.

SPEAKER_00 9:50

He wills, he does it.

SPEAKER_02 9:51

No, he does not.

SPEAKER_00 9:51

No, he does. He tells us all the time. He pretends he says that.

SPEAKER_02 9:54

He's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, I'm a liability. I understand. I'm a fun liability. Yeah. But none of that. None of that.

SPEAKER_00 10:02

Which insurance costs per month. That's what it runs me insurance-wise. A lot. For my liability.

SPEAKER_02 10:08

Yes. So how is it having such a big age gap with kids? How is that?

SPEAKER_01 10:17

So for me as a mom, I will say it's been it's hard, but it's also been really fun because we've gotten to experience so many different things at different times. And then with having such a big age gap, I feel like we have so many memories of when it was just our older two and all of the things that we did. And when they got, you know, and then now we have the younger two, and they kind of get like their own time. I just feel like it allowed us to really have like one-on-one time at times with them because of the age gap. And then when we go places, I will say there for a while it was a little bit difficult because of the age gap. If you go to like a theme park or something like that, and all the kids are like, I want to do this and go here.

SPEAKER_02 11:07

And the little ones are like, We only want to see this.

SPEAKER_01 11:10

So it's like there's pros and cons, I feel like, but I mean, I wouldn't have it any other way. I've enjoyed it, and they're all boys, so that's it. And that's fun. That's been fun and exciting, but I mean, I don't know if it's been different for Ryan.

SPEAKER_00 11:23

It it's been well, I don't like my little backstory that Disa came into the boys' I had Tristan and Broxton with before Disa and I were together. Disa came into Broxton's life when he was 10 months old, and Tristan was about eight. That was our 18-year-old's name's our 19-year-old's Tristan, and Broxton's our 11-year-old. So Broxton always has only known Disa as his mom in that sense. So Tristan, that's where it's like with Tristan, I think that it's kind of it's been different across that board with the two younger, uh, two older ones, the two younger ones, just because it is like she came into a relationship with kids. Like she was a mom, like I'm mom now. I've never been mom, instant mom, and she handled it gratefully. And was it difficult? Hell yeah, it's difficult, man.

SPEAKER_02 12:11

It's I mean, there's a lot of it's hard to it's hard to come in and raise someone else's children, especially when you don't have any prior and you were probably young. Yeah, you know, and that's a big that's a big undertaking. It's a big commitment. Yes, it's a big commitment. It's a lot, and you know, and it's a lot of yourself, you know.

SPEAKER_00 12:29

And well, thankfully, I mean not thankfully, but like um our older sons' mothers aren't necessarily in the picture, so it makes it a little bit uh easier for us to kind of be able to always had all of them full time, yeah. And yeah, and so I mean better your kids, yeah, exactly. Yeah, and if that's how it's been, yeah. Well, dude, it was you probably came into Broxy's life before that because he was it was October when she let us keep him the whole time. So he would have been 11. That would have been 11 months, so you probably came into his life in about five months, you want to say? Okay, all right, my bad.

SPEAKER_02 13:06

Hey, it's been a little bit. Yeah, he's 11 now.

SPEAKER_00 13:08

There's multiple kids, multiple transactions in that sense. Yes, but yeah, so you know, but no, it's been I mean, it's been great. I mean, I I like I just tell him Disa sometimes I live with a little bit of guilt because of the dad I am now to my oldest son, is like it's hard because I am not I am not I am not the same, I'm not the same person as I was. And so then I, you know, and I literally just apologize to our son about it this week is just talking to him, our oldest son, and just being like, hey man, I you know, I live with some guilt of like I didn't, you didn't Royce and River are too younger, get a different dad than you got.

SPEAKER_02 13:42

And so that's what that happens to everybody everything.

SPEAKER_00 13:45

That's been that's been the biggest like getting older is like growth and yeah, getting older sucks sometimes. Some of the some of the things that come back around, yeah, is well I feel like if you start going through your own stuff, oh it's terrible sometimes. You start to realize, oh my gosh, the things that you didn't get, so now you go to your kids, and like I feel like that's what all DC and I were talking about this morning, is like how you're able to kind of like you look at how you are and like and then you kind of try to trace it back to where the start back like, holy crap, it started with the way my parents like we do. Like, isn't it crazy how we have these traumas from our childhood that shaped us who's gonna be able to do that?

SPEAKER_02 14:21

We didn't necessarily necessarily think were trauma at the time until you experience it.

SPEAKER_00 14:26

Now you're trying to communicate in a in a relationship, you're like, Oh, I don't know why I do this, I don't know why I do this, and you start to really like and you try to get into it together, and you're like, holy crap, there's a it's not fun. No, but it's like but then you realize, oh my god, what I'm doing with my kids. Yeah, you're in there like, hey man, I'm sorry I did this to you, you know what I'm saying? Because you don't want them to experience the same thing that you experienced, you know. So that's that's something that I feel has been like really I'm I'm a big I'm a growth guy. I love to grow. Yeah, and that's wrong.

SPEAKER_02 14:54

And that's something as you get older. I I've dealt with some of that stuff with friendships and things like that. It's if we only knew what we only knew, right? Exactly.

SPEAKER_00 15:03

Exactly. Yes, exactly.

SPEAKER_02 15:05

So what so what do you guys do on your off time? What do you guys do when it's just you two? Do you have like certain things you guys like to do?

SPEAKER_00 15:14

Are you what's like I want to be like, I don't like I'm just I'm just afraid that if I say anything that people like, I guess we live, like I said, we live in a small community, so there's so I'm like, I like to smoke some weed, man. That's my jam. That's what I like to do. Like, whenever I get the opportunity to not have to do anything and like rewind unwind what I'm doing.

SPEAKER_02 15:34

Well, it is legal in California, so you're not doing anything wrong.

SPEAKER_00 15:38

I'm not doing anything wrong at all, but unfortunately, but there is a but there's a huge stigma around it.

SPEAKER_02 15:44

And I am guilty of of that for a very long time because you know, growing up, it's like that's bad, that's bad, that's bad. It's gonna ruin your life and this and that. And I took that very literal and you know, all those commercials on TV where they're like, don't do drugs, this is your brain on drugs. Okay, I really thought that. Yeah. And I know what on some things that is very true. And it's scary. And so having that be available now, I think it's better than alcohol. I think it's better than alcohol. I think alcohol is terrible. Now, now that I'm older.

SPEAKER_00 16:18

I'll put it in perspective for you. Now that I'm older, okay. I would love to hear the Brian's hear you guys, Ryan Wade perspective. Let's go. Because so many guys could not get jobs, could not get jobs because they were smoking weed. When in turn, I worked on a rig where a guy had to wake up at two o'clock in the morning. Allegedly. Allegedly. I know he told me allegedly. I worked on a rig. No, I worked on a rig where a guy, he's a he's an alcoholic full blower, and he's like, I'd wake up at 2 30 this morning and chuck and pound a tall boy so I wouldn't get the shake. So I woke up at 4 o'clock in the morning to go to work, and I'm sitting here and you're like, is that safe? And you have, I'd much rather you say, Man, I smoked three blunts last night and passed out. I'm like, hell yeah, big dog. Instead of being like, hey man, I live till four o'clock in the morning pounding beers, and knew what I did. I went hit the dope man. I got me a sick sack and now I'm out here fucked up, dude. Let's go do this. You know, I'm like, no, I like living. But that's where I think that a lot of the oil industry, because of our community, well, and I think a lot of misinformation as well, because I there was how many well in the 70s, 80s, 90s, how many guys couldn't get jobs in the oil industry because they decided to smoke weed because I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 17:28

I wasn't I was a little kid. I know.

SPEAKER_00 17:29

Well, my dad worked in and he and he specifically told me there was guys that could not get jobs in the oil industry because they were smoking weed and look at their life, look at them. And there was a bunch of those guys who couldn't who instead of drinking, they were smoking weed, but it takes 30 days to get out of your system at a minimum, and they can't stay clean that long. And so that's where I kind of think it's messed up too. Is how can you drug test somebody like I did something 23 weeks ago? It's not affecting me. I am not under the influence of that anymore. But you mean to tell me because I did something third two, three weeks ago, I I'm unsafe where the guy who's alcohol's out of his system by the next morning, maybe blowing a 0.06, you know what I'm saying? Right. And he's cool to come to work, yeah, and then he'd be dead ass tired and be hung over hating life. Like, I remember being out at a certain company at a certain lease with a certain person, had safety a head safety superintendent after a Super Bowl party, threatening to alcohol test the whole company that was the whole rig crew out, all the rig crews out there, because he knew that probably half those guys would fail a breathalyzer. And you mean to tell me you got me out there and I was only I was sober at this time because I went to treatment when I was 30. I was sober for about a year and until I started working on a flipping rig, I got started drinking again. But I was sober, and so I was the only one on that rig who wasn't drunk, and it was just crazy to think about. But that's the mentality is was out there. It's like you don't get fucked up. I don't care, big dog. But you smoke weed, you this shit, and you're you're a loser. And you're like, huh?

SPEAKER_02 19:01

And bro, they're making a stigma.

SPEAKER_00 19:03

There, it's we're making more money than any of my supervisors I worked on at any production company. I make more and I work and we make and I make and I smoke way more money. I smoke daily, and that's where, and but it's like it doesn't hinder me. I feel like yes, I could cut back, and that's what we're that's what I'm on the process, is just learning to do it, and it's learning the process of realizing that it does take, it is, it does take from you, but the same fact is like, what are you willing to make up for it in that sense? So that's better than me personally. You give me three margarines and talk about real estate, I'm gonna promise you everything underneath the sun. Me and you spoke a little bit. We can talk about real estate. I'm gonna get in deep and tell you what you can and can't do and what's really gonna happen in that sense. Right, and that's what I've learned in that sense. But don't get me wrong, all of I'll never turn down the yard house margarita all day long.

SPEAKER_02 19:52

Well, no, everybody loves a good mark, definitely, definitely.

SPEAKER_00 19:55

That's what we meant. We need a margarita, we just need a specific designated margarita place in Taft that opens up like on a Friday at like four to eight, and then Saturday from like one to nine, and just like all we serve is craft margaritas. It's too late. Craft margarita. I know, I'm not for us, but someone else. Someone else might be craft and then catch me at one o'clock.

SPEAKER_02 20:14

And then you can catch up. Nine o'clock, I'm in my bed. I've got my face mask on. I am not. Two o'clock, we open up on Friday.

SPEAKER_00 20:21

Get in there and get you a good bar.

SPEAKER_02 20:23

Yes, no, for sure.

SPEAKER_00 20:24

Definitely. Do you have anything?

SPEAKER_01 20:27

I mean, I guess like going back to like, yeah, we enjoy going to the beach together, like, you know, or date nights, whatever. We try to go to a lot of like community events and get really, you know, involved. And I mean, I we really enjoy doing stuff like that. It's really, it's really fun. But yeah, I think the beach, um, like the central coast is probably our favorite place.

SPEAKER_02 20:48

Yeah, well, it's easy to get to. It's nice, you know.

SPEAKER_01 20:51

Yeah, we have our own little stuff that we have our, I feel like uh like normal stuff that we like do over there, you know? So like it's we go over there and we have certain spots that we hit every time. So it just feels like homey, also like it feels safe.

SPEAKER_02 21:04

Definitely. So do you guys have any shows that you watch together? Are you oh my gosh, are you a so are you a reality girl?

SPEAKER_01 21:12

Oh yeah, I love reality TV. Ryan, I can kind of get him to watch reality TV sometime.

SPEAKER_00 21:17

SPEAKER_02 21:53

SPEAKER_00 21:55

No, but that's the crappy part of that because I like this is why I've stopped really playing like video games because I Realized. So like I have ADHD in case no one knows. What you do?

SPEAKER_02 22:06

No way.

SPEAKER_00 22:06

So for real, for real. And so that's the thing about it. Like, I'll get hooked on something and I'll consume it and do blah blah blah.

SPEAKER_02 22:13

And then I wish that would happen to me for the gym.

SPEAKER_00 22:15

Yeah. I love that. I would I blow, but I blow it up. I wouldn't see my gym face. I blow my time, and then next thing you know, I feel guilty because I should be. Oh, yeah. You know what mine is? TikTok. Yeah. I should be consuming something that helps me, not something that is taking away from me.

SPEAKER_02 22:29

And that's where Well, you can make a lot of money gaming now, so but I'm not good enough to do that.

SPEAKER_00 22:34

I don't have time. But that's where, but I like I'm more of a I I'm comedies. I like comedies, so are we like friends and neighbors?

SPEAKER_02 22:41

Um I've heard of that. I uh you have to I have all these shows to watch, but I feel like I don't even have time to watch the ones that I love. Yeah, I'm always like, What well I watch it when I get ready, that way I can talk about it. But I I love TV, but I don't that's the same.

SPEAKER_00 22:58

That's where I think we're more sports. Like we like to watch sports on TV. Okay, that's where we're gonna be able to do that.

SPEAKER_02 23:02

Yeah, what I'm seeing. What's your go-to?

SPEAKER_00 23:05

It's a room of five boys. So I don't really have a choice.

SPEAKER_02 23:08

Um I I I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 23:11

Well, so what we do is we get rid of live TV once March Madness is over. So like we'll have Hulu Live from September to April, and then we'll get rid of it because So you guys are into March Madness? No, I love college basketball.

SPEAKER_02 23:25

Oh, who's your what's your team?

SPEAKER_00 23:26

UCLA. Oh, they don't they haven't win much, but it doesn't matter. But that look I'm into March Madness because my grandpa was huge into March Madness, and I've I mean this was when college sports was of pure still. Yeah, yeah, and not changed, and not everything bought out. So that's where it's kind of different, but I liked it because I like I liked liked college sports better than the in the pro sports, just because there was actual true I like watching March Madness.

SPEAKER_02 23:55

That is fun. I mean, I have no idea what's going on.

SPEAKER_00 23:57

That's all I watch. I won't watch UCLA basketball game, I'll wait till March Madness kicks off, and I'm like, all right, cool.

SPEAKER_02 24:02

Down to like the like the the last eight teams. Like that's when I'm into it. But before that, I'm just like, who's playing? I don't yeah, it is what it is.

SPEAKER_00 24:11

I did that. I like my grandpa used to have used he every single year ESPN or not ESPN Sports Illustrated to send out a bracket. He'd fill it out by hand. So my brother actually has every single bracket that my grandpa has. Oh, that's cool.

SPEAKER_02 24:23

You should get all those frames.

SPEAKER_00 24:24

Well, my brother has them. So I don't know if I'll get them or not. So, but anyways, he might maybe get half.

SPEAKER_02 24:30

Be like, you keep half, I'll keep half.

SPEAKER_00 24:32

So that's where my love for it came. So that's where I kind of but like I think that she's gotten into it as well because like Well, if if your whole family's into it, yeah, it's and it's like you're watching like the only cool part about college basketball is like the last like minute and minute, like two minutes of basketball if the game's closing close. You're like, I'm not worried about this, and like, oh, two minutes left, now we need to watch this game. Like, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, you know, and that's where that's what we that's the excitement behind it. And then and then baseball, we like, you know, we'll get baseball world series, and so September football starts again. We're big NFL, NFL football.

SPEAKER_01 25:03

That's where we that's what we're just mostly football, college, basketball, and baseball. If we can is the sports that we'll watch or that watch.

SPEAKER_02 25:09

I watch whatever whatever's on. Robert is really into college softball, which I love. It's so good. College softball's good. Because of the what? The grunts? Are they hot chicks? No. The grunts. Oh my god. Um, no, they're just those chicks are amazing. Yeah, it's they're so good. I mean, obviously, I played softball, so I love it too, but um, it's just more exciting, I think, than baseball sometimes, you know.

SPEAKER_00 25:36

But we just got done with baseball. I coach baseball.

SPEAKER_02 25:39

Oh, oh, tell me about that. Tell me about coaching little kids.

SPEAKER_00 25:43

It's great.

unknown 25:44

I love it.

SPEAKER_02 25:45

Okay, so what the worst the worst part about coaching little kids is the parents. It's I that's the worst part about most of the time.

SPEAKER_00 25:53

I had some pretty good kids. So last year I coached. So last year, literally, last year we were going down to watch Brox, and he was on, he had tryouts for minors. And one, and I told D's, I'm like, I'm so happy I'm not coaching baseball this year. I am so stoked on this. Famous last words. And then uh, and then I see one of the coaches, so I text the dudes in charge of it, hey big dog, like anybody but this person's team. And he's like, Hey, I need a coach. You can't complain if you're not ready to shoot. And I'm like, all right, let me talk to my wife and we'll find out.

SPEAKER_02 26:25

Oh, so we blamed it on you. No, I know, I know.

SPEAKER_00 26:27

I let me talk to her to see if like she's any comfortable with me doing this because I know like it's a it's a it's a time commitment. I take it on, I'm gonna be down there four to five days a week, no questions asked. And it's gonna be during dinner time, during times that she's gonna be with the with the other boys and stuff like that. And so, like, I so we did it. We ended up winning first place, and so in the whole division. So, what happened was it gave me a false sense of security, and then so it went up to the majors. That's how they get you, Ryan. That's how they get you. And I'm like, I got this. I I got a I got a majority of the team I had because last year I had a really good set of parents. And I said, you know what? Parents are more important than players sometimes in that sense, and so I almost got the identical team that I had from the year before to this year. Granted, I had the best players on my team quit halfway through because he played travel ball, and his travel ball started picking up more games, so he quit. I lost a coach and his son, and then I lost a couple other players, so we went oh in 12 this season. We were the new team, and we were the new team in the world. Everybody has rough seasons.

SPEAKER_02 27:36

And if you can't, you have to learn to lose. Yeah, winning is great, but you have to learn to lose.

SPEAKER_00 27:40

And I'm big on like last year I started positive reinforcement and started realizing that kids learn more when it's a joyful environment and there's not stress and anxiety there and a fear there, they end up flourishing. And so that's what I told the kids this year. I mean, this year I they had the same model, it was just kind of like, hey, check it out, you guys. No one of the festivals win any games this year, you guys, but we're gonna get out here and get the experience that we need so that next year we're gonna be right where we need to be at, because next year we almost won three games this year. We would have won, we would have won three games if we had a position that didn't let all that.

SPEAKER_02 28:18

Well, it happens. I mean, and they're still little kids. Yeah, they're still learning.

SPEAKER_01 28:23

Yeah, yeah, they're all still learning, and there were mistakes made throughout the season, but it's a growing and I told I think it's with anything.

SPEAKER_00 28:32

You gotta try it to get experience. And that's it. And so that's where that's where I think indeed. I mean, that's where we I have that always in our business as well with the both of us. Like we've been really trying to get out of the new construction stuff over a year or so.

SPEAKER_02 28:48

Yeah. Um all right, guys, sorry, technical difficulties. We are back. So okay, I have some questions I want to ask you guys. Okay. And you can either, you know, you can say hot take and answer it, or you can say hard pass and just play the fifth, whatever you guys want. They're not crazy. I mean, some of them are fun. So we'll see. We'll see. Okay, so this will be a couple's one. So you can do that. Okay. So hot take or hard pass. Have you ever pretended to not see a text?

unknown 29:21

On each.

SPEAKER_02 29:22

Like from each other? Not I don't maybe not necessarily from each other, but on each other's phone. Like, did you have you glanced at his phone and saw something you're like, oh, really? Or anything like that.

SPEAKER_01 29:34

I probably have, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 29:36

Like I don't, like I said, hot take or hard pennies. Okay, yes, let's get into it. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 29:41

Okay. I'm um, yeah, I don't, I can't think of anything specific, but I I probably definitely have.

SPEAKER_02 29:48

And it doesn't even have to be with Brian. It could just been like, you know, from any time.

SPEAKER_01 29:55

Oh my gosh, no, I'm trying to think.

SPEAKER_00 29:56

I have a hot take. Is it with I'm like, I had not with, I mean, not with her, but I have with someone else. Is that alright? Yeah, you know, Brian, we want the tea. So, yeah. One of my so I went to treatment uh for drugs back in like when I was 30. And I got out of treatment, and I was with Broxton's um one of my edit the name out. You can say baby mama. One of my son's baby mamas in that sense. And sh I um I was getting ready. I wanted to text her brother to have his number. I was gonna text her brother from my um from her phone and say, hey man, come over, you know what I'm saying? Whatever. And well, I saw this Zach, and I'm like, well, no question, I'll edit it, I'll edit that out. So I saw her brother's name and I went through it to like text him, and I started going through it, and it was like she was talking to some guy with the same name. Oh, and it was and it gave me because I wanted to get out of the relationship, but I couldn't do it because she was really going through treatment, just had a baby with her, we were engaged and all this stuff, and I was like, oh my god, I gotta find a way out, I gotta find a way out. And I found it and I was like, jackpot. And so literally I told her, Hey, who the hell is this? Because she's across the street, and I'm like, who the hell? I put on the whole dogging dogging pony show that make sure that like, you know, and I was like so happy, I was so relieved. Well, then the bra decided to go and take my ibuprofen 800s and put like and put like a handful of them, put them in her mouth. Oh no, like she was gonna kill herself, oh no, and walked outside my back door or our back door of our my back door, our back door of our house, and walked out there and looked at me and said, You see what I'm gonna do? And put them all in her mouth, and then like 30 seconds later, she spit them all back out. I'm like, what did you just do? You literally just wasted all my ibuprofen 800 for no reason at all. And that's whenever, and then not shortly after that, Dece and I got together, no couple months later. And that's and so yeah, and yeah, that's that's your hot take.

SPEAKER_02 31:48

That's my hot take.

SPEAKER_00 31:49

That's the only one that I've ever been like. That's the most recent one.

SPEAKER_02 31:52

With her, I don't think I've ever seen anything that's been like and it doesn't have to be even anything bad, it could just be like he's being an asshole today. Yeah, no.

SPEAKER_00 32:01

That never happens.

SPEAKER_02 32:02

What I'm always perfect. Do you think you're a good driver?

SPEAKER_00 32:07

Oh man, I'm a great driver.

SPEAKER_01 32:10

I think I'm a good driver, but I don't think Ryan thinks I'm a good driver.

SPEAKER_02 32:15

What do you say? Three. Oh, three rex. Oh, three rex. Okay, well, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 32:20

Zero rex is zero. I've had one accident in my life, and it was a guy pulled out in front of me and um going to the uh moose lodge. And I was every bit of like 24, 25, and a dude pulled out in front of me. He used to work at Albertson's, and he pulled out in front of me, and I hit the back end of his El Camino with like my little Toyota pickup. Oh, that's sucks. And that was the only real accident I've ever been in. Uh it's like, and I was fine in that sense, but um I did.

SPEAKER_02 32:49

So you still claim to be a good driver there?

SPEAKER_00 32:50

Oh yeah. It wasn't my fault.

SPEAKER_02 32:52

I didn't it wasn't my fault. It wasn't last words.

SPEAKER_00 32:55

I didn't pull out in front of me. Like, how are you supposed to pull out in front of me? I was driving towards but Disa, yeah, I can't drive with her. I can't, I gotta drive with her. And I don't know how she said she used to drive for other boys for other guys and stuff like that. I'm like, ow.

SPEAKER_02 33:10

So, next question Is adulting harder than you expected? Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_01 33:17

Yeah, it is way harder than expected.

SPEAKER_02 33:20

What did you think growing up, Disa, when you when you were like, I'm can't wait till I'm 21. I'm gonna like live your own.

SPEAKER_01 33:27

Yeah, I think that my parents, especially my mom, really just set me up to be like taken care of and not like taken care of myself. So um, yeah, I like I think about it and I think back to what I I think I thought adulting was. And yeah, it's it's a lot harder because I think I saw all the roses and diamonds and all the, you know, not that like saying that my mom got all that stuff, but just that everything was like so simple to like rely on somebody else and not necessarily. Yeah, I think so, because it's just like that's how I feel like my mom almost like insinuated that like at times a little bit. And then I was in a relationship and when I was a teenager and it was you know, um, not physically abusive, but like mentally and emotionally, but also very materialistic, and it just didn't well and when you're young and you're grown up, that's if that's what you've been told and that's what you experience, that's what you think.

SPEAKER_02 34:38

Yeah, you know. What about you, Ryan? How how is adulting is it what you expected?

SPEAKER_00 34:43

No, what did you expect?

SPEAKER_02 34:45

I I knew I mean I think you were a little bit rebellious, it sounds like so.

SPEAKER_00 34:51

I knew a lot. I mean, like I had a fake ID when I was 16. So where'd you get that?

SPEAKER_02 34:55

Okay, off topic, where'd you get that? From actually No, no names, bro.

SPEAKER_00 35:00

No, okay. A B is and his brother, he had a buddy who he we had a buddy's brother who was a bouncer down in LA. Oh and he he confiscated some IDs, some of the.

SPEAKER_02 35:13

So you got like a legit one from LA.

SPEAKER_00 35:14

Like so you it's from Wisconsin. Oh, my name was Jared Mohagan from Wisconsin.

SPEAKER_02 35:20

You even remember that. Do you have that framed somewhere?

SPEAKER_00 35:22

Well, I don't know what happened to it, but I'll So if you're listening, what was it?

SPEAKER_02 35:26

Jared Mohagan. Jared Mohagan from Wisconsin.

SPEAKER_00 35:28

Okay, you guys are saying I'm 42 right now, and if I shake my mustache off, everybody's like, wow, you must be must be 20. And I'm like, no, I'm not. I'm I'm 40. So that's I can just imagine 16-year-old Ryan.

SPEAKER_02 35:40

Yeah, you probably looked like you were five.

SPEAKER_00 35:42

Wait, you're like 110 pounds with a fake ID with a guy who has where did you go with that fake ID? I would go to oh what the din what is the dinosaurs? The Exxon? You should be the Exxon mobile. Oh uh. Exxon?

SPEAKER_02 35:54

Or just you didn't go to bars, you just went to hey misters?

SPEAKER_00 35:58

No, I would go to the I'd go to the gas station and I'd buy beer.

SPEAKER_02 36:01

So you haven't given your ID for anything fun?

SPEAKER_00 36:05

Yeah, I don't buy beer for everybody at the high school. Oh, allegedly. Allegedly. But no, that's that's where I found out that if you offer something to people, people like you. So that's whenever I would because like honestly at the high school at 16, I was able to buy alcohol for anybody at the high school.

SPEAKER_02 36:21

So that's where a lot of like my like So you were the bad influence. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 36:25

And that's like that's like when our son didn't do anything on the weeks. I'm like, what are you doing, bro? There's like so much to be done right now. You're just chilling inside, uh, you don't even know. And I'm like, you don't even know what life's about. But though I would go, like, it would work at corner, it'd work at cornerstores, ash tree market, every single number.

SPEAKER_02 36:40

And they didn't know you?

SPEAKER_00 36:42

Because I was a kid, they don't know me. I just go in there and literally, I would have and I'd go to Gas War, where it's gas war, whatever it was before that. So the lady would even say, like, my glasses aren't the best. And I'm like, I love you. I think she liked it because she was like a heavy. Did you flirt with her? Yeah. I got one class flirt, and I was like 600. Oh, you did, I did. Like flirt. Like, watch out. So, but that's where it's just like, so what did you so obviously?

SPEAKER_02 37:08

So you thought adulting was a straight party.

SPEAKER_00 37:10

I thought no, I knew that I was told life's hard, go get a company job that has you a pension, and you'll be fine. That's what I thought.

SPEAKER_02 37:18

That's what I was raised, and we're all finding out now that that is not true.

SPEAKER_00 37:23

As everybody that maybe 40 years ago, when everybody who's still here who's in their 60s is like, yeah, I got a nice pension. I'm like, Yeah, big dog, no one does it no more. Dinosaur, it's different now.

SPEAKER_01 37:34

So, but I very different now.

SPEAKER_00 37:35

But what I realize is that it's hard because you always have to be learning. You always have, I mean, there's something we all have to work on. Like, once you get it's a it's an onion, like whatever.

SPEAKER_02 37:47

If you don't have anything to work on, yeah, yeah, you need to re-evaluate.

SPEAKER_00 37:52

Yeah, you're like an onion. You every layer keeps on putting more pulling?

SPEAKER_02 37:55

Are you quoting Shrek right now?

SPEAKER_00 37:56

No, I'm quoting my therapist right now. You probably got it from Shrek. Disney. Yeah, but not the heat. But that or that's Disney. No, it's not Disney. Dreamworks.

SPEAKER_02 38:05

Dreamworks, yeah. Yeah. That movie's funny.

SPEAKER_00 38:09

Shrek, Shrek, Shrek, Shrek, Shrek.

SPEAKER_02 38:11

No, um, no, that is a great insight because I it's so true. I mean, I look at hair videos all day long. Yeah. Always trying to be like, how can I do this better? What can I do that better? Podcasting, I'm constantly, not constantly, but I'm, you know, I listen to different ones because I'm like, ooh, I like the way they sound. Like I like the way they structure that. There's always like there's always something to learn. Yeah. And, you know, that's that's adulting. Yes. Okay. I love these, I love these answers. All right. So would you, okay, well, I guess this doesn't really apply because you guys are married now. But back in the we'll go, you know, before. Would you ever date somebody your friends didn't like? Like, did you ever date anybody that your did your friends tell you up front, oh my god, I don't like them? Or after you broke up, were they like, I'm so glad you broke up? Like, did you ever date anybody that your friends didn't like?

SPEAKER_01 39:06

I mean, hot take, yeah. I feel like my yeah, I feel like in my early 20s, man, my I but I never didn't date them because of my friends, but I do have like my two best friends, um, my two really close friends. I feel like they had no problem like saying what are you doing?

SPEAKER_02 39:26

Saying, yeah, like what are you doing?

SPEAKER_01 39:29

Yeah, I almost, yeah. What are my friends? It's like he had.

SPEAKER_02 39:33

I mean, obviously you're way better now, but right.

SPEAKER_01 39:36

So, I mean, they were like, I think it was more protective, and I will say, like, I probably wasn't treated the best in my early 20s. And who was? Yeah, seriously. I mean, we all have learned. Yeah, but I would, I don't think I ever like didn't date someone just because of what they thought. I don't think that it was like that much of an influence, but they definitely did speak their mind and tell me how they felt.

SPEAKER_02 40:01

Yeah. What about you, Brian? Did you ever date anybody your friends didn't like?

SPEAKER_00 40:05

I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 40:06

Because guys are real, like, she's a bitch, bro, or she's lame, she won't let you hang out.

SPEAKER_00 40:10

I think like my as bad as this sounds, the fucking group I used to run around back in those days, they were trying to bang the girls that I was like dating. So it's like that's where I felt like it was it really wasn't there wasn't much loyalty there. Yeah. Yeah, fuck her, she's stupid, shit like that. And then just so that I wouldn't be around them, so then they could get their chance to try to like. It was like, I mean, as bad as it sounds, y'all be I mean, that's just unfortunate. That's what the like the group of guys that I ran around with. It was just literally like as soon as they broke up with them as like latch on like a fucking like virus, it was so gross. That's crazy.

SPEAKER_02 40:40

Shall we uh no names? I'll edit that out.

SPEAKER_00 40:44

All right, so like you're like a woman, like my friends looked at like you're a wounded animal. Let me I'm going in for the kill. Yeah, that's gross. I know.

SPEAKER_02 40:52

Hopefully, people are better now. Yeah, um that's why I don't have friends, no. I think you do. Um, so it hot take. Hot take or or hard pass. Is social media doing more harm than good?

SPEAKER_01 41:07

Oh, okay. I'll have a hot take on that because I will say I love social media for our business. It is, and I I I love doing TikToks, I love doing reels, I think they're so fun. Um, and when I want to look at something specific, I love going to social media, like especially if I'm doing like putting an outfit together or kids' ideas Disneyland hacks.

SPEAKER_00 41:34

We like literally like today, like David, but we're doing David Buster's tomorrow, and we're looking like David Buster hacks. You know what I'm saying? And I'm showing the boys our younger two are. That's the beauty of social media.

SPEAKER_01 41:47

Yes, but I will say that when so, like Ryan stated earlier, like our two older sons are not mine biologically. So when I had our first son, I will say, like, I did nurse him and everything, and I spent a lot of time on my phone scrolling while nursing him or things like that. And that was very bad for my mental health because I was constantly, I was following all of these moms and these new moms and these moms accounts, and I was thinking of all of the things that I didn't have or didn't do, yeah, or all these luxury items and like all this mom guilt, and and then even me myself, like, oh my gosh, you're six weeks postpartum, why don't you look like this? Where's not in a bikini?

SPEAKER_02 42:26

How about that?

SPEAKER_01 42:27

Yes, and like, why aren't you doing your hair and this? So that's where I realized like it's not great for me as a consumer. I love to create content and put content out. And again, I think it's great for our business.

SPEAKER_02 42:39

Do you think going through that you are more mindful of what you post on social media?

SPEAKER_01 42:44

Yeah, yeah. I don't think that I I definitely would never like promote anything that I didn't like, and I'm very careful about what I do post and the information I do share. Oh, it because I I like last year we posted uh a reel of like our kids, and it was kind of a transition of how fast time goes. And I will say it did go viral, and we got like really, oh my gosh, and I will say I give it to influencers because it people and they have no idea like anything about you, and they judge like every little thing about you, and like it was it was awesome on some of them. We had like people from Taft like coming to our defense and stuff, you know. But I was just like, wow, people are 90,000 comments.

SPEAKER_02 43:38

The internet is a is a big place. What about you, Ryan? What do you how do you social media for you? Is it good or bad?

SPEAKER_00 43:44

What's your I think that it's I mean, it's a double edged sword. Yeah. I mean, I love I I love the real estate side of it. I love it's great. I mean, I think that was one thing that we really doubled down on when we got into real estate was we're gonna start doing the videos, especially in our community. You guys were the first ones that I And we've continued to I feel like they've kind of like gone stale, but we're we're gonna do some new things this year that's it's hard.

SPEAKER_02 44:10

It's it's hard to error.

SPEAKER_00 44:19

Um it's easy to slip into this false sense of reality of how things should be. I mostly use social media for like workout stuff and stuff like that and whatnot, and like real estate and food and whatnot, because that's where I like to cook. And so that's something that I do the majority of the cooking in our house and I enjoy it, but I like that. But I try to make really try to like branch out and make us things that we can eat that are healthier because we've really been very mindful of like spending this year and trying to budget and we have some goals in one of them.

SPEAKER_02 44:49

That's the that's a bad word. I hate that word.

SPEAKER_00 44:51

Now she's kind of starting to like it.

SPEAKER_02 44:53

I mean, I get it. I I do try and I am I am getting better, but yeah, but no. Well, good. Yeah, I uh agree with the social media. I love it too. I mean, I I love TikTok. Yeah, I go to TikTok for everything because if you like you said, if you want to know something, you can see it in action. You can peep real people are saying yes or no. So I I love I love social media. I do what?

SPEAKER_00 45:17

Spencer Pratt. Oh my god, I love him. I do love watching Spencer Pratt. I do hope he wins. I'm gonna do it. These guys are going on they're going on TV to see the commercial Spencer Pratt. I'm gonna go on Instagram like David is.

SPEAKER_02 45:37

He just wants his his he wants his town to be better. Transparency.

SPEAKER_01 45:42

I want our town to be better. I mean, I feel like any person living in their town should want their town to be better. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 45:48

And I that that is the message that I absolutely love.

SPEAKER_00 45:51

I think people in leadership need in any community, no matter where it is, leadership, you when you take on a leadership role, you're putting your own interests behind everyone else's interests. And I think unfortunately a lot of people.

SPEAKER_02 46:03

And that there's lines that get blurred 100%. Because it's a hard, that's a hard job. That's that's no, you're you will never please everybody.

SPEAKER_00 46:11

Let's be honest, if you were in a leadership role, if I was in a leadership role and someone came to me and said, Ryan, I want to give you this $1.1 million listing, and then I have an agent who's been like, I know I'll get another one in my lifetime. I know I'll get an one, but you have an agent that's never had anything like this. It might be the only one they get, and you give it to them so they can have that. That is so difficult as a person to do because you're walking away from how much 3% of $1.1 million at $35,000 like $32,000. That's what you're giving someone else. But that's what a leader truly does. It wants the betterment of the whole community, just not themselves. And I think a whole bunch of people look at I get a leadership role under a position, and now I can turn it for my favor, and now they're because like I'll be honest, it's hard not to do that if you got a role and someone's like so okay.

SPEAKER_02 47:05

So that was a good hot take or hard pass. I love that you guys answered everything.

SPEAKER_00 47:09

I mean, I I bet it's some like random on my oh like what?

SPEAKER_02 47:13

Shoot me. Shoot, shoot it, what?

SPEAKER_00 47:17

I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 47:19

Put you on the spot, you don't know. Say what do you like more? You feel okay. I'll let's in on one more. We'll do one more and then we'll move on to something else. Would you live in space if you could?

SPEAKER_01 47:32

No. Hard pass. That freaks me out.

SPEAKER_00 47:35

I would. I knew it. I'd do it. It'd be cool. I mean, like, are we talking about like in a spaceship or like on a moon or like I don't know. Would you live in space? Yeah, I would live like on a planet. I wouldn't you would go to a different planet. I would live on a planet. I wouldn't, I wouldn't live like I don't know. If they had a spaceship big enough that made a simulated like an environment. I feel like a space like a cruise ship for space. I could live on something like that, but like, but it'd only be like, but it'd be like I'd have to have the I'd have to cruising through space. I don't have to have like the pinhouse, the top big dog in the hair. That's the only way so I can be stretched out because pinhouse in the space. I'm claustrophobic, so that's why I don't think that'd be good on a on a cruise ship. So that's why I feel like I have to pay a lot of money for me like in a higher, like a bigger one.

SPEAKER_02 48:19

Yeah, but if you're in space in a cruise ship, it's not in the water.

SPEAKER_00 48:22

No, but it's like the claustrophobia, the the of me enclosed. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 48:26

I don't know. I I don't I don't even know if I would. I don't think so.

SPEAKER_00 48:29

I always would you go to space if you would you travel to space?

SPEAKER_02 48:33

Oh see, I hard to answer on take the adventurous side of me, yes, a hundred percent. Because I like I have FOMO bad and I don't like to miss out on anything. So yes, would that be awesome to be like uh I'm in space taking, you know, not Katie's heavy space. No space. No, real space. No, no. But then the scared side of me, because I'm deathly afraid of heights, I'm deathly afraid of what's gonna happen. So I don't know, are you gonna burn up going through the atmosphere like that? No, I don't know if I trust these people.

SPEAKER_00 49:05

So, did you write Superman and Magic Mountain?

SPEAKER_02 49:08

Yes, I did, and I love that writing. So you shouldn't even worry about it. I love it, but I hate it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 49:12

I did it once. I'm like, that's all I need to do.

SPEAKER_02 49:14

Yeah, yes. It's ugh.

SPEAKER_00 49:15

I thought it'd just shoot off the track.

SPEAKER_02 49:19

I'm gonna die. Right. Oh. Oh, wait. We'll do some food ones. Oh, okay. I love food ones. Yes. Taco Bell or McDonald's? Taco Bell.

SPEAKER_01 49:29

Oh gosh, I would pick Taco Bell. Yeah. Taco Bell.

SPEAKER_02 49:31

What's your favorite thing from Taco Bell? Chicken nuggets.

SPEAKER_01 49:33

Oh, we do like the chicken nuggets.

SPEAKER_00 49:35

Have you had the Taco Bell chicken nuggets? No, because I go to Taco Belly for not chicken nuggets.

SPEAKER_01 49:40

I like, I will say their dirty Pepsi's are so good too. Their dirty sodas are good. I have never had one. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 49:47

Try one. Because I just, I don't know why it freaks me out, but soda with cream.

SPEAKER_01 49:52

Third is different though.

SPEAKER_02 49:53

There's something different about it because I've had one when I think of a dirty soda, I think of putting like vodka in my soda. That's the dirty soda for me.

SPEAKER_01 50:01

But like my Taco Bell, I'm gonna get probably either a cheesy Gordita crunch or a chalupa.

SPEAKER_00 50:07

Oh, I will get if I'm not if the chicken nuggets aren't there because they come and go in that sense. I've been what I've been, I mean, I'm not like there's not one thing I like at Taco Bell. It's like the new stuff that comes in.

SPEAKER_01 50:20

So you try so you like to try. You like to try everything. And you have a I'm I am like a creature of habit.

SPEAKER_00 50:28

I will we go to a restaurant. Okay, but we're talking about Taco Bell.

SPEAKER_01 50:32

What would you get at Taco Bell?

SPEAKER_00 50:34

Taco Bell right now, because they have those fries, they have these flies.

SPEAKER_02 50:37

Oh, the nacho fries?

SPEAKER_00 50:38

The the not the zaps. The zabs. Oh, okay. I tried those with like those are those are fire. And so do you have block beans on it?

SPEAKER_02 50:44

So like on TikTok, people are like making their own and doing that. Do you ever copy any of them?

SPEAKER_00 50:50

No. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 50:51

Did do the crunch wrap at the time? I started, I started copying stuff. Like people would order crazy orders. Well, I did that a couple times because I am a creature of habit. Bean and cheese burrito with the side of red sauce, nacho cheese, Dorito, Taco Supreme. That's that's my jam. You go to, yeah. And so I started getting other things because I saw it on TikTok. Oh my god, I've been missing out my whole life. Yeah. And I just, for the very first time in March, I think it was March, had a Baja Blast. I never had one before. Those are good too. Oh my god. I want one every single day. That is the best thing I've done.

SPEAKER_00 51:26

I worked at Taco Bell KFC growing up. You did when I was on Taco Bell KFC in Tampa. I worked there for a long time. Oh my god, it was the best. The old Taco Bell KFC had mily, many, many bong ribs taken out of that walk-in freezer. Allegedly. Allegedly. It's not even open anymore. But that's where I go to Taco Bell. I know what I don't need to beat the Taco Bell. I don't even want to. Don't tell me.

SPEAKER_02 51:50

But if we're in the car with like the kids, probably Forrest Frank, and then honestly, I'm a podcast girl.

SPEAKER_02 53:44

I would never go to Costco on the weekend.

SPEAKER_01 53:47

No, or I'm gonna say Costco, but I do if I'm by myself, I do love fans and I love the fans pickup and the fans gas.

SPEAKER_00 53:55

Yeah, yeah, uh, yeah. Hi. But that's where I feel like that's the only that's the reason why we got the executive membership is because you can get in early, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 54:02

And you get the cash back.

SPEAKER_00 54:03

And you get the cash back so it's like, well I'll get in there at nine o'clock in the morning and be out by 9 30. And so because there's only like a handful of people there on a Wednesday. It's great. And we can't beat that.

SPEAKER_02 54:12

Early bird or night owl? Early bird.

SPEAKER_01 54:15

I used to be a night owl before Ryan, but now I'm an early bird. 350.

SPEAKER_02 54:43

I used hey, I used to be at the gym all the time. I'm just I'm at a different part in my life, okay?

SPEAKER_00 54:48

Well, the part where you don't want to feel good? Because I did tell you up. Okay, you go to the gym and you when you leave the gym, you're coming to the city. You feel like you're on top of the world, and you're like, uh why not? Because I just don't care right now.

SPEAKER_02 55:01

Yeah, I'm in my I don't care mode. All right, I get it. I walk. Yes, I have my I have my little walk that I do. Don't you don't gym judge me, right?

SPEAKER_00 55:09

It's a steep walk. Downhill is probably cool. Uh it sucks.

SPEAKER_02 55:15

Yeah. Yes.

SPEAKER_00 55:16

Do you have a way to vest?

SPEAKER_02 55:17

No, I haven't.

SPEAKER_00 55:18

I have talked about we need to get one because we talked about taking walk. Thinking about it, yeah. But that's like I have a friend who said, and he's like, the core, the core exercise for it is what gets you. You don't even think about it, but your core is contracting the whole time. Yeah, because it's helping us, and I'll be like, dang, definitely.

SPEAKER_01 55:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 55:35

What was your last Amazon purchase? Anything fun?

SPEAKER_01 55:40

Actually, no. I literally know what mine was. It was either a Hawaiian shirt for one of our son's um awards assemblies next week or some air fryer liners. I know I bought both of those yesterday, but I don't know which one I bought last.

SPEAKER_02 55:54

Yeah. Do you hide your Amazon purchases?

SPEAKER_01 55:57

No. And you know what is so silly is we both have our own Amazon primes, but I will say you don't pay for them separately, right? We do. I okay, so see, I don't know why we've never combined it, but like because Robert can't see what I buy.

SPEAKER_02 56:14

Thankfully. Because he's always like, what's this? I'm all, I have no idea, bro. I have no idea.

SPEAKER_01 56:19

I think I'm like, how what if we get because like I ordered his birthday present from Amazon or No, you can't you can't see each other's purchases.

SPEAKER_02 56:27

I mean, I'm sure there is a way, but I'm not techie enough. But no, I can't see what he orders and he can't see what I order.

SPEAKER_01 56:32

So it's like you can have your own sign-in, but like pay one. Oh, yeah, okay. I need to look into that.

SPEAKER_02 56:37

You guys are wasting money. Yeah, we're totally wasting money. Definitely. And you can do wish lists and stuff. I do love Amazon.

SPEAKER_00 56:43

Oh, my last version was forks. Oh, forks.

SPEAKER_02 56:46

We have like all of our forks like magically disappear. Um, you guys have kids, you have yeah, and he thinks they're in tricky. Do you guys have that issue too?

SPEAKER_00 56:56

And then you and then you wonder where all your silver is, and you're like, oh, you probably just threw it away because you didn't want to bring it in because there's a molding growth on this whole thing.

SPEAKER_02 57:03

So that's what happened. Yeah, how's how's bedroom situations with four boys?

SPEAKER_01 57:07

Oh my gosh. So I know how mine is with one. Oh, that must be so nice. So we did have him. No. We had him like two and two, and because we're in a three-bedroom home right now, and then obviously when Tristan turned 18, it was like, okay, you can't be able to do that.

SPEAKER_00 57:22

His senior year, we put him in his own room too. Yeah, so he's three little.

SPEAKER_01 57:25

Our aunt, yeah. And um, Roy, our two youngest have always I'm like worried that like Ryan even said something this morning, like they're gonna be like codependent, because they went from like crib to crib to like crib to toddler bed, and then we just got them like this big house bed so they've slept together. Yeah, literally. Yeah, like and so it's super cute. So we're thinking about getting them bunk beds, but oh my god, they'll love bunk beds. I would like a four-bedroom home so like the two older can have their own, the younger can share, and then I like I want a four-bedroom without our 19-year-old moving in with us.

SPEAKER_00 57:59

That's what I want. See, I want Christopher to live in the house.

SPEAKER_01 58:03

Yeah, see, I don't care how long he lives with us. But I know that's unrealistic. I don't want him to go, but I don't want him to, I don't want him to feel like he has to leave. I want him to leave when he feels like he can leave and not have to like come and go or something like that. You know, when he's ready. I'm not gonna, I'm not big on pushing.

SPEAKER_00 58:25

I'm not big on pushing, but at the same time, there has to be a line in the fan that doesn't need to be crossed anymore in that sense. I think that as long as you are doing what you need to do, it's not a big deal. Now, if he's working 40 hours a week or getting a three or getting like a 2.5 in college, no problem. No problem at all. But whenever you're waking up at nine o'clock, 10 o'clock in the morning and staying up at 2 o'clock in the morning playing your video games, and me asking about where's your job's at and stuff like that, and then you have two buddies who get hired. Yeah, and you're just kind of like that's being a teenager. So, but that's where that's where it's hard for me. I understand.

SPEAKER_02 59:04

It's hard because you've already been through it.

SPEAKER_00 59:06

Well, I'm a dad, I'm a dad too, and I'm a bull, and I I understand, and I'm like, and me as a man, our job is to provide for our families. And I'm like, if you get a girlfriend, I'm like, I was like, has a girlfriend, and she's like, I want to go to these places. I'm like, I got on to him this week. I'm like, bro, don't you want to take your girl places, dog? Like, she wants to go to LH the Grove, homie. Like, it's a hundred degrees today. Wouldn't you want to be like, do so that's why I'm trying to like get the real estate bug in his ear? Just but like, think about it, man. How cool would it be? You're 19, you just closed a transaction, you made $8,000, you don't have no bills, and you tell your girlfriend, hey man, let's go to the beach for the night. And go and be like, 19-year-olds don't think like that, right?

SPEAKER_01 59:42

No, 19 year olds don't think like that. And as much as he wants them to wants him to think like that, like I'm just he's he's fine. He's fine.

SPEAKER_00 59:50

It's just yeah, it's great. It's I love it.

SPEAKER_02 59:53

You have to walk, you have to let them do their thing. That's it's rough. I I yeah, I'm almost there. Almost there. So all right, guys. Well, thank you. I mean, this was fun. Yeah, thank you. I feel like we could talk for like two more hours. We could, we could. There's so much we could talk about. Definitely, yes. Oh, yeah. I think so. That would be definitely, definitely fun. So, all right, you guys. Well, thank you so much for being here. I appreciate it. I'm so glad we finally got this going out of the group chats. Finally, yes, yes, yes.
