I like you don't like me, do you? I like how creative he is and how funny he is. Because like don't say anything you don't like. We'll do that. I feel like if we were to try it on an island, we'd have a house. Figure out some way. Yeah, but you'd have to build it. I'm not teaching it like Minecraft. Okay. You'd have to build. I'm not very instructural label person. I don't even like building a pool. But I only have to put in bolts.

SPEAKER_01 8:29

SPEAKER_01 9:22

That'd be fun.

SPEAKER_02 9:23

And we can talk about stuff about the bad.

SPEAKER_01 9:26

Alright. Can you come up with one of your corny brain break jokes to end this with?

SPEAKER_02 9:37

What's the difference between jam and jelly? Have you ever been a traffic jelly jelly?

SPEAKER_01 9:46

Oh, a traffic jelly. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 9:48

SPEAKER_00 10:19

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_02 10:21

SPEAKER_00 10:29

Gotcha.

SPEAKER_00 10:31

Okay. Alright. Thank you guys. Tell them bye.

SPEAKER_01 10:34

SPEAKER_02 10:43

I hope you watch more of my parents. Smash that like button. Like and subscribe.

unknown 10:51

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 10:53

So that was our kids, Max and Claire.

SPEAKER_01 10:56

Yes.

SPEAKER_04 10:57

Trying to play off like we were us.

SPEAKER_01 10:59

Where they get their personalities from. We have no idea.

SPEAKER_04 11:03

None at all.

SPEAKER_01 11:04

None at all. Alright, so I need to start this by saying I'm sorry if it bothered anybody that I kept hitting the mic with my papers last week. It bothered me.

SPEAKER_04 11:14

Nobody cares.

SPEAKER_01 11:15

I cringed every time I heard it. And then every time I laugh really loud, it's fine.

SPEAKER_04 11:23

I don't think anybody knows. Level that out.

SPEAKER_01 11:26

Level that out.

SPEAKER_04 11:27

You need to just worry about the podcast. Just concentrate on the sound.

SPEAKER_01 11:34

Alright, so you need to be the sound producer. Okay, so um, what did you do last week? This week.

SPEAKER_04 11:42

This week. Yeah. This week was packful. I did almost 20 houses, or right at 20 houses, plus other shoots. We had schools to set up for, I did a uh marketing shoot with Rob and the go-to code.

SPEAKER_01 11:57

I covered one of his shoots for him. I was a big girl. I set it up all by myself and acted like I knew what I was doing, and I didn't ask any questions.

SPEAKER_04 12:08

And then we look fine. You just gotta pr pretend like you know what you're doing.

SPEAKER_01 12:11

I mean, it's nice when you are the editor because you know what it needs to look like out of the camera.

SPEAKER_04 12:16

Exactly.

SPEAKER_01 12:17

But just if something goes wrong, shut the pack up and go home.

SPEAKER_04 12:21

But it'll probably be alright.

SPEAKER_01 12:23

That's what that was on Friday. So I shot for Chase. Um he was supposed to go to a uh plant Easter family event that they had, and um, it was just like a two-hour gig. We've done it for him for Christmas and different things, but we got concrete that day, and he miscalculated number one, it went from being 60 degrees to that particular day hot hot. And then um, and then he never fuels his body well, he never eats enough. Like on days where you gotta be physically active, and he never drinks enough. So I was enjoying my best. I was like finally having my day at Glitz, the uh nursery in town, and I was looking at all the plants and I was so happy. And then Claire comes with the phone and she's like, That is in a bad way, and he need you to he need your help. So I got all the phone and chase is like um I need electrolytes and I need all the things, so we're gonna fix that this week. Yeah, so I bought you um trace minerals, the drops. So you can just either put it in like a shot and throw it back, or mix it in a whole bottle of water. But anyway, we're gonna we're gonna handle your hydration problems. I can't handle that you don't eat though.

SPEAKER_04 13:49

You say so.

SPEAKER_01 13:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 13:51

Um what else happened this week?

SPEAKER_01 13:53

You got concrete. That was good.

SPEAKER_04 13:55

Are we gonna skip to the pool update first?

SPEAKER_01 13:57

No, but okay, we'll we'll talk about that. I finished our last full week of the season of schools. That always feels so good. Now I transitioned from the editing and getting all that turned around really fast to processing all the orders and and all that, but and all those customer service calls. Yeah, I am so I don't get that many. I mean, I feel like as the years go by, we get better and better at answering questions on the front end through marketing or whatever. But um, I'm just excited to sit at my desk, to have a whole day to sit at my desk, like be out with people, yeah. Well, not not that, but like when you lose half a day consistently every day, everything just snowballs because you don't get time to sit and accomplish things. So this will be my first week in the office, solid days, and I'm not behind at all, but it's just gonna be nice to be able to like be done at five and not carry stuff over to the next day. So I'm excited about that.

SPEAKER_04 15:09

So both of our kids are in sports right now.

SPEAKER_01 15:12

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_04 15:12

So Claire is playing volleyball, and I'm coaching her team, and she has won two in a row, and bless that baby's heart.

SPEAKER_01 15:19

She is can't tell her nothing.

SPEAKER_04 15:21

She is on cloud nine about it, and I had to knock her down a few pegs. Have to tell her over and over. I'm like, baby, that that might not stay that way. There's an L coming.

SPEAKER_01 15:31

There's an L coming. Eventually, there will be an L.

SPEAKER_04 15:34

Yeah. So uh we're we'll see.

SPEAKER_01 15:37

Can I just say you did very well?

SPEAKER_04 15:40

Thanks.

SPEAKER_01 15:41

I was really worried. So Chase um plays with an adult league. He has a team, and they play in various leagues, tournaments, things, and they're very good, and they win a lot. Like y'all win leagues, y'all win things a lot. So they're all they have fun, but they are serious, but they're very good at what they do. So he is coaching along with one of the girls from his team, Chelsea. And Chelsea is the same way as Chase. Like, she is the female version of Chase, as far as when it is game time, she wants to take down whoever is in front of her. Like, she's very but they y'all have done so well. Like, they have been, I mean, these are 12-year-old girls. Claire and one other have never really played before. The others have some experience, but they have done so well, like encouraging them, and Chase. Um Chase's I feel like y'all's focus is on just the fundamentals, and that's what's helping them in the games more than like when you watch some other teams practice or whatever. They're doing two advanced things instead of focusing on the fundamentals, and I think it's paying off. But I was just really proud because gosh, that first game was like close. Like they would like inch up like one and one and one and one, and like you were getting red. But I mean, you were never gonna yell at the kids.

SPEAKER_04 17:06

I was not just nervous for them.

SPEAKER_01 17:10

I was not worried about that. I was worried about you showing them that you were nervous, and you really did it. You were still like encouraging them, and um, Chelsea was too. I mean, I think Chelsea was the nail biting, but like y'all y'all did so well, and then um the girls were just doing their thing, and so you had to look at them because they like all looked at you, and you're like, You won't and the girls were like, Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_04 17:34

We had to go to game three and play to 15, and so I think they were a little confused on when the game was over. But I was like, You won, you won.

SPEAKER_01 17:41

So good and they were I think honestly the thing that helped the most was um that game before us was so delayed, it all had like 30 minutes, and so he made them go out into the hallway and stretch and all that, and then he was just like, Does anybody have questions? And those little girls would raise their hand and just ask questions that I think they all wanted to know, like they all wanted to know the answers, but there's not really time to just sit and talk like that, and I really think it helped, like, because they got their questions answered, and it wasn't during a game, like it wasn't, you know, right?

SPEAKER_04 18:14

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 18:15

So we had so that was for Claire, and then Max is playing for the why, which is totally different. Like, the why it's not about who wins or loses, it's about learning the fundamentals and the skills, and so um they actually have hired a have we already talked about this?

SPEAKER_04 18:31

I don't know if we did or not.

SPEAKER_01 18:32

I don't think I don't think we have. Uh, we're not sporty people, like we're not all about the sports, but um, they hire a company that comes in and teaches these skills. So parents can volunteer to be assistant coaches, but they're being coached by people who really know what they're doing. So they evaluated the kids, they evenly split the teams, and then at the end you'll be able to see a measurable scale of here's what they have accomplished, and it's just it's perfect for him because he's never played. He's we made him play basketball once and like had to drag him to every game. He's just not into organized sports, so we weren't gonna make him do it, and he actually came to us and said, I want to do this. And we were like, Uh, do you know what soccer is?

SPEAKER_04 19:19

And he's been very excited about it.

SPEAKER_01 19:22

He I mean he's done very well, but so the first thing that happened is he comes over to us. They had already told him what their positions were. Well, he comes over to us, and he very proudly, I don't remember how he said it, but something about being a sub. Like he was so proud that he was a sub.

SPEAKER_04 19:39

He gets to be a sub.

SPEAKER_01 19:40

Because that is Max. Max is Russell from up, everything has a positive spin. It he just experiences life like let's just do it. Like, whatever it is. So, um, he was so proud.

SPEAKER_04 19:54

And oblivious to most things, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 19:56

He was so proud of being a sub. Well, he sat on the sidelines and chatted up that poor coach. Like, I just wanted to look at her and say, tell him to shut up and watch the game. Because he was, he was just, he didn't pay attention to the game at all. Wasn't he?

SPEAKER_04 20:12

Did you ask him what he was asking her?

SPEAKER_01 20:14

He said, We were talking about all the different positions and what we'll have to play. So, I mean, he wasn't talking about, I thought he was like, Did you know in Jurassic Park? So I thought that was what he was doing. So, anyway, then he gets in the game. And from the second he took that field, I uncontrollably giggled. Just seeing him out there.

SPEAKER_04 20:36

They were laughing, her and Claire were laughing at him, and I'm like, Stop, he's gonna think y'all are like making fun of him.

SPEAKER_01 20:42

It's just just something about him out there, and so like the whole herd of kids, because they're all clumped up together, the whole herd is like running on the field, and here goes Max behind him, and then they'd run this way, and Max goes, and it was played back and forth. Well, then at one point he was in the clump, and then one kid comes out triumphant with the ball, and Max goes, What the heck just happened? And then everybody's like all the parents laughed. Well, then it was on. So then he went in and out a couple times and blessed the heart, the the two good kids that would have to go out so Max could come in. Max and the other kid could anyway. Then the thing about it is they make them play all positions each game, so everybody rotates through everything. So when they put him on goalie, he is over there. Like I look at him and I'm like, Look at your son, and he's like this, and he's like dancing, and he's like up in the net, having the time of his life. And like whole game at the other end of the day. And he's not. And it goes right past him in slow motion, like it wasn't like it flew past him, and he just watches it go by and he's like, Oh, well, and the poor guy was like, Max, you can use. Use your hands, and he keeps like telling him and Max is like, I thought I couldn't use my hands. It was just it was hilarious.

SPEAKER_04 22:07

It's an adventure.

SPEAKER_01 22:08

Yeah. So there was one, there's a couple boys that take it more seriously on the team. I mean, they all take it seriously, but they played before, and so they were keeping score. So Max knew that his team won that first game. And then he had another game this week, and I was scheduled to be somewhere. He was scheduled to coach a game. So Chase's parents took him and apparently they lost that game.

SPEAKER_04 22:31

But I don't know how much or whatever, but we don't matter. It doesn't matter.

SPEAKER_01 22:35

Anyway, he's having the time of his life.

SPEAKER_04 22:36

Yeah. He's not asked to not go or any of that, which I thought we would face again like.

SPEAKER_01 22:41

I don't see I don't I just don't know. And this is the perfect time for him. If it was hot outside.

SPEAKER_04 22:46

Oh, well, and his best friend Beckham's on the team too, so that matters to him.

SPEAKER_01 22:50

And but Beckham has ability. Like he's he can he can do stuff. So he was the goalie.

SPEAKER_04 22:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 22:57

So um anyway, so that we're not a sporty family, so that's different for us, though. Like we're used to me cooking most nights of the week and everybody being home together. And so this has kind of uprooted our life.

SPEAKER_04 23:13

I don't know how some families do it that run to all the different things.

SPEAKER_01 23:17

So I don't think I would it's just not for us. Like it's really not for us.

SPEAKER_04 23:21

I feel like we like a slower life pace.

SPEAKER_01 23:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 23:26

For sure.

SPEAKER_01 23:26

The good thing about the Y though is it's very regimented. So like you know, Tuesday and Thursday at 6 30, you're gonna be there, whether you're playing a game or practice or whatever, so that does help. Whereas y'all's schedule is a all over the place, and that's weird. I'm looking out the window because our cat has decided to brave it and go across the field. Nothing swooped to get him. I guess he's okay. Um so that was that was our sporting um sporting adventures. We're still in it. I'm so thankful that the season for me has ended before we really kick into steady going, because that would have been we got about five more weeks of each of them playing.

SPEAKER_04 24:10

So update. The pool, yes. Um, so as she said, uh Friday was concrete day, so you pour like an eight-inch foundation basically around the pool and into the steps and all that kind of stuff. And um I I knew it was gonna be tough. I I I had prepared my mind for it. Um but not your body. But yeah, my body was not prepared because I was running late and trying to get there and finish up a job and get get back home and get the things I needed ready to make sure I had ready before they poured that foundation. And I just didn't want to wait for somewhere, even fast food, like to take forever for me to be late. So exactly why.

SPEAKER_00 24:55

What you went into public.

SPEAKER_04 24:57

Yeah, I went into public, so I was like, I'm gonna get run in here and get a sub. It was on my way home. And it got in line, and there was like five people in line, and the girl was rubbing mayonnaise like as slow as she could rub it on the sub, and I was like, this ain't gonna work out for me. So I ran and grabbed um popcorn and a and a drink and ran out the door. Um, but anyways, it um we survived. Thank goodness my dad helped us, but we'll show y'all a few photos of it.

SPEAKER_01 25:28

If my dad was not there, that would not have happened. And then we had this neighbor. We've never had a neighbor before that just hears heavy equipment and comes. Like he came on his lawnmower. He just came over because we live in the country, and he's just seeing what we're getting into. And he did, he helped, he had on flip-flops though, so he was like trying to help without getting his feet in cement.

SPEAKER_04 25:51

But yeah, it was covered head to toe and concrete splash and exhausted by the end. I was seeing like stars trying to finish up, but you scare you stress me out so bad.

SPEAKER_01 26:04

I can't, I can't handle the thought of him passing out.

SPEAKER_04 26:08

It's my live goal, stress you out.

SPEAKER_01 26:09

Oh well, it is, and you do a very good job. Very good job.

SPEAKER_04 26:14

Wow.

SPEAKER_01 26:15

Um, so what's next for the pool?

SPEAKER_04 26:18

Uh plumbing and backfill. So I we're deciding I think we're gonna backfill a little bit and then plumb and then fill it the rest of the way up so that the plumbing's not as low to you know, down low if something happens. Um I've been advised by these old men in my life that my dad and the neighbor because if something goes wrong, it's a long way to dig down.

SPEAKER_01 26:43

I mean most of the time, if they have a little grey in their hair, a little at the temples, they've lived through some things. And you should probably listen to them.

SPEAKER_04 26:54

Maybe.

SPEAKER_01 26:55

Sometimes. But you know, your dad in most things, your dad's never led you astray.

SPEAKER_04 27:00

Yeah. Um okay, so So we're product of the 90s, right? So, like these kids kill me. Claire gets in the car this morning, she's rattling and got all the things, and she's gotta carry a purse and her her awala bottle. And I just looked at her and I'm like, Y'all would have never made it in the 90s.

SPEAKER_01 27:23

I said, baby, why did you bring your water bottle to church? And she was like, Well, I didn't drink all night long. I w I'm thirsty. I might be thirsty. I might be thirsty, and uh, yeah, and you're like, Y'all couldn't have survived drinking out of the water.

SPEAKER_04 27:37

We was all dehydrated in the 90s, I think.

unknown 27:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 27:40

Because you had to ask your teacher to get up and go get water if you needed water. You know, now they just pull out their expensive water bottles that are 40 bucks each, and or their Stanleys.

SPEAKER_01 27:51

But I said, that's probably that's probably why we all in early 40s have like arthritis and things that are supposed to be reserved for older people because we drank out of hose pipes. Properly hydrated sun. Yeah, no, because we've got all kinds of chemicals in us. Um but yeah, so then the kids were like, wait, Max goes, wouldn't that put a strain on your water bill? We said, what? And he said, Oh, to drink out of hose. To drink out of hose, and we were like, son, you don't leave it on. You just turn it on and drink what you need and then turn it back off. And then he said something. Oh, and then I said, and you you got kicked outside, and like you couldn't just come and go. Like, you stayed outside till dinner, they would call you in for dinner. After dinner, you had to go back out. Like, I clearly remember on Fridays, especially for some reason, we were outside until dusk, and then we would have to come in, and then that's when TGF would start. So, like, that's what you did. And um, I think we need to try to bring that back now. We went through a just a couple weeks where I was like, we're gonna do TGIF because all those shows are on streaming, but now a lot of them are on uh one of the platforms, like all of them together, cuz so you wouldn't have to bounce around quite so much. But I think we should bring it back and like do TGIF. Yeah. Anyway, um our kids. It was a good time. So there's a lady, um I don't follow her or anything, but it just keeps showing me her stuff now. She called this 90s week and she sat her kids down on Sunday night, and she's like, Okay, starting tomorrow, it's 90s week. So that means nothing in the house that was not around in the 90s. So she um she gave the kids a choice. She's like, Am I taking your Alexa's tonight or are we gonna pack them all up in the morning? And the kids were like, pack them all up in the morning. So they got rid of all Alexa's. She was like, What this means is if someone we have one computer, it'll be in the kitchen. If somebody's on the computer, nobody can be on the phone.

SPEAKER_04 29:59

Does it have to make the crazy noise that it used to make?

SPEAKER_01 30:02

I mean, it could anyway. So she's like, tell them, and the kids are going, what? Because she's going, if she's on the phone, you can't be on the computer. And you have to make sure she knows. And then only one person on the phone. And what was her there were like several other things that oh, she was like, I got you all DVD players, and um, or I got a DVD player, but she got them all um CD players with an AMFM stereo on it. She's like, if you want to listen to music, you gotta listen on this radio. And I'm walking. And the kids were like, Oh, so anyway, I I don't know who she is, and I have not followed her, but I'm pretty sure the algorithm will show me again, and I just want to see how it ended up. Oh, and she she oh that's what it was. She said, and so this means if you need to be picked up at school at a certain time, you have to tell me now, or if you need to talk to me, you got to go to the office and ask to call me. And then one of the kids older was like, I don't know your phone number.

SPEAKER_04 30:59

Sounds like Max. We were asking him, they have to check in now at in the check-in center at church, and they put in the last four of the phone number, and um he was like, What's the last four of your phone number? And so we were telling him, like, you need to memorize this in case you need to call.

SPEAKER_01 31:16

He knew my number before. I don't know what happened, but he used to know my phone number. Um, somebody said to tell snoring slash sleep stories, and um I talked a little bit about you. I talked a little bit about how Chase sleep talks, walks, dances um when he is stressed. So when we were first married, were we married? Maybe anyway, yeah, because we were in a hotel room and Chase gets up out of the bed, and um, I was not a light sleeper until children, so at this point you startled me awake because he's over at the like hotels used to have those uh rolling things with a microwave on them. I don't know what kind of hotel we were staying in, but anyway, it was like a little stand or whatever, and it had a microwave on it. Well, Chase is over there, go into town like this, and I was like, What are you doing? And he was in his sleep diffusing a bomb, and so he was working as hard as he could on that keyboard to diffuse that bomb.

SPEAKER_04 32:28

Were we in a microtel? Maybe tell him about a microtel.

SPEAKER_01 32:33

Um well that's our top comment of the week comes from Julie, and that was about her.

SPEAKER_04 32:38

It wasn't.

SPEAKER_01 32:39

She said something about like wonder what um what's so special about a microtel, or she said something, and I was like, it's everything is really little, like everything is for like little people, and it's like miniature, and she believed me for a second. It was great. Um anyway, so you diffuse the bomb. One time we had a westy, a little westy like on the Caesar dog food, the little white floofy dogs. And he would, his name was Artie, and he would sleep over the covers and then he would go under the covers, and then he'd come back out and he'd go back. Well, one of the times when he did that, he got in Chase's dream, because that's what happens, is he doesn't wake up, but you become part of his dream. So sometimes I will roll over and become part of his dream or whatever. Anyway, Artie became part of his dream, and I look over, and Chase has Artie in a headlock, and he's like petting him and he's going, Look, it's a little wasty. And Artie's looking at me like, help me. So I had to make sure he's away.

SPEAKER_04 33:42

He was a little monster.

SPEAKER_01 33:44

He has done things like in the he he fights people in his sleep because he's you're a peaceful person, I think, you're aggressive in your sleep.

SPEAKER_04 33:52

So he's she says I take all my aggression out of her when I'm asleep.

SPEAKER_01 33:57

He uh punched at me one time, and we then we had to create rules like I had to clap my hands, I had to turn on the light and clap my hands until he wakes up because you just don't know. So if I die, ask questions. Ask just ask questions like was Chase asleep, was he Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 34:20

Are they gonna ask you? Because they're not gonna know that if I was asleep or not.

SPEAKER_01 34:23

Okay, I'm just saying to maybe ask some questions if Ashley mysteriously dies in the bed beside Chase. It could be him. Um could be. What was something else? Oh, there was a uh the boat was filling with water one time.

SPEAKER_04 34:38

No, that was the roof.

SPEAKER_01 34:40

No, it was a boat. It had a hole in it and it was filling with water.

SPEAKER_04 34:45

That was the roof. There was water pouring in, it was pouring rain, and there was And guess where the hole was though?

SPEAKER_01 34:50

It was under my pillow. So I wake up to him yanking me up by my arm. And so I'm doing it.

SPEAKER_04 34:59

So I put my hand on the thing and you're like, what are you doing? And you're like pushing me back. So then he doesn't grab her arm and pull it up.

SPEAKER_01 35:06

Yanks me up, and I'm dangling in the air, and he's covering the hole under my pillow. I was so mad. Oh, I was mad. Um so yeah. Anyway, I'm so you don't. I'm so glad.

SPEAKER_04 35:21

But we have lots of history stories for sure.

SPEAKER_01 35:23

He now, if you do anything, you do the like gasping and sitting up real fast.

SPEAKER_04 35:29

I did do one a couple weeks ago, didn't I, about a fire?

SPEAKER_01 35:31

I think I told them that.

SPEAKER_04 35:34

I don't know. It's just when I got a lot of stuff going on and my brain won't sleep, so I dream crazy dreams.

SPEAKER_01 35:40

And that but then he pulls me into it. So I've started just going now, because I used to say you're sleeping, you're sleeping, it's not real. And that would make him even worse because he says that you're telling a sleeping person that thinks this is totally real that it's not real.

SPEAKER_04 35:55

So now I've tried to tell her that many, many times.

SPEAKER_01 35:59

So now I've started going, I'm fine, everything's fine, I'm fine, and I just keep saying it until eventually you wake up. But there's always that creepy moment where you wake up, you wake up, and I can feel you just staring at me. And I refuse to talk to you at that point because I'm trying to stay under and not wake up. You the last the other night when you gasped away like that. It was because I had like barely coughed or I had made some noise, and you were like, are you and you start like doing all that stuff, and I just started going, I'm fine, everything's fine, I'm fine, I'm fine, and then I can feel you staring at me, and then you just rolled over and went back to sleep. Yeah, and then he's asleep just like that again. That's what makes me so mad, is like he wakes me up saying the house is on fire, so I go into emergency mode, and then he rolls back over and goes to sleep, and then I'm laying there going, Did this really happen? Do I actually smell smoke now?

SPEAKER_03 37:00

Like anyway.

SPEAKER_01 37:04

Alright, now you want to tell an embarrassing story about me.

SPEAKER_04 37:07

Yeah, so you tell embarrassing stories about me, so I have to tell one about you.

SPEAKER_01 37:10

Okay, go ahead.

SPEAKER_04 37:12

Now, this is back when we were dating and um we had, I don't know, we used to love to go to the movies and then we'd go get ice cream or something like that, and or dinner and then ice cream.

SPEAKER_00 37:23

Which is brought us to where we are today. Exactly.

SPEAKER_04 37:26

A few extra pounds here and there, you know. Um fat and happy. But then um we were at Brewster's, right, in Anderson, and we gotten our ice cream. Well, I don't remember how long we've been dating. Not all. Our backstory is we were friends before, so we always like it was easy for us to just laugh about things and all those kind of stuff. We knew each other. So, you know, we got however many scoops it was, two scoops or whatever at the time, because we thought we needed it. Um, and Ashley goes, There's way too much on my cone.

SPEAKER_01 38:01

Hold on, Kevin's trying to jump. Don't think about it. Don't don't think about it.

SPEAKER_04 38:06

You can't get up there, but uh anyway, so um she's she's eating her cone and she's like, This is way too much ice cream, and she holds it out the window.

SPEAKER_01 38:18

I was trying to shh like shake off a shake one a ball off.

SPEAKER_04 38:21

Yeah, a ball. So she turns and and like does this while her whole entire ice cream falls out of the cone.

SPEAKER_01 38:32

Onto the ground.

SPEAKER_04 38:33

Onto the ground, and we are laughing so hard. And I look over and Ashley is like laughing super hard, and all of a sudden she farts. And I just lost it. I don't know. We could probably couldn't breathe that we were laughing so hard.

SPEAKER_01 38:50

That was an embarrassing moment. It really was.

SPEAKER_04 38:54

She is human, y'all. She does fart.

SPEAKER_01 38:56

I don't around you now though, do I?

SPEAKER_04 38:58

Probably not.

SPEAKER_01 38:59

Because he thinks it's gross. He's one of those men that has that double standard. He lives in a green cloud of his own filth. But if I were to do it, he thinks it's gross.

SPEAKER_04 39:09

You know, can't help it. Alright. Okay. Is that it?

SPEAKER_01 39:16

Um, is that it? I don't know.

SPEAKER_04 39:19

I don't know either.

SPEAKER_01 39:20

Um, so we do need we need a favor. If you're watching this, we need you to like it from wherever you're watching it. If you're listening on a podcast, Spotify and Apple.

SPEAKER_04 39:32

I think we're on Amazon Music, Apple, and Spotify.

SPEAKER_01 39:36

Rate us. Give us a five star. If you're not gonna give us a five star, don't rate us. But give us a five star. I'm gonna start reading those comments, those ratings. So our top comment of the week comes from Julie C, which I always want to say say, because I worked with a lady who spelled her name the same, but it's they say it differently. Anyway, she said, I really could listen to Ashley Belly laugh the whole time. It's contagious. I appreciate it, but y'all need to hear Julie's laugh because she wheezes, and her laugh is the best.

SPEAKER_04 40:07

Yep. So we're planning on um trying to start having some guests, so we'll see how that works.

SPEAKER_01 40:14

We gotta ask them first, but that would be nice.

SPEAKER_04 40:16

Yeah, yeah. So we can get some more stuff going on. But um, y'all please uh comment also like what you want to hear about.

SPEAKER_01 40:23

Um questions. The children think that they are now like 100% part of this. So if you have questions for clearing Max, I'm sure we can uh we can have them back on.

SPEAKER_04 40:37

And they'll easily spill the tea on either one of us.

SPEAKER_01 40:39

So I know thank goodness we edit this and it's not live. Could you imagine? I wouldn't be able to survive it if they if Max was live. I wouldn't be able to do it.

SPEAKER_04 40:48

Depends on what you ask him about.

SPEAKER_01 40:50

He was really wanting to go in on her. Now let's tell what we don't like about it. Oh, that's that's the quickest way to hurt somebody's feelings right there.

SPEAKER_04 41:02

And they will look at each other. Just brother and sister. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 41:06

But then they're best friends.

SPEAKER_04 41:07

I know. All the time. All right. Well, thank y'all. Y'all have a great week, and we will see you next week. Bye. Bye.
