SPEAKER_04 0:21

Welcome to Scene C unscripted. I'm Chelsea.

SPEAKER_00 0:26

I'm Cody. This is our podcast.

SPEAKER_01 0:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 0:29

What do you think about that?

SPEAKER_01 0:30

I feel pretty good about it.

SPEAKER_00 0:31

I feel good about it. Why do you think we should have done this now in our lives? I have no idea.

SPEAKER_04 0:40

On a whim.

SPEAKER_00 0:41

We might have advice one of these days for somebody.

SPEAKER_04 0:43

I feel like we always have super deep conversations and when we're driving back from Escalant. It's always Escalant. Always.

SPEAKER_00 0:51

Well, we always want to we want to go back there sometime. Maybe one day. But not right now. I know you don't want to. I want to so bad. But going and visiting is it's the best.

SPEAKER_04 1:05

Visiting is the best.

SPEAKER_00 1:07

I think it's because all of our friends are there.

SPEAKER_04 1:09

Yeah. We have close ties there. We love it there.

SPEAKER_00 1:12

It's my favorite. But I fall in love with that place every time I go back.

SPEAKER_04 1:17

My job's here. Your job's everywhere.

SPEAKER_00 1:21

Well, my job is wherever. My house is here and you guys are here. Yeah. My family's here.

SPEAKER_04 1:25

Well, I'm from here. So it's home.

SPEAKER_00 1:28

Yeah. One day.

SPEAKER_04 1:31

That's our why.

SPEAKER_00 1:32

Tiny tiny house goals.

SPEAKER_04 1:34

Tiny house goals.

SPEAKER_00 1:35

I want I want a place to call home there too.

SPEAKER_04 1:38

Well, yeah, that was my compromise.

SPEAKER_00 1:41

I well I know. But how many years is it gonna take us to get a house there?

SPEAKER_04 1:45

Like a full-blown house?

SPEAKER_00 1:47

Like no, like a like a tiny just a tiny house. I just want our own place to stay when we go back there.

SPEAKER_04 1:54

Yeah, five-year plan.

SPEAKER_00 1:55

Five years?

SPEAKER_04 1:56

I don't I don't think it'll take us five years, but categorize it.

SPEAKER_00 2:00

It's in five.

SPEAKER_04 2:00

Five year. Five-year plan.

SPEAKER_00 2:02

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 2:03

Tiny house within five years.

SPEAKER_00 2:04

Two and a half would be sweet.

SPEAKER_04 2:06

I mean, yeah, that would be ideal.

SPEAKER_00 2:08

Tucker would be like Clark's age. Four. Yeah. If we built a house there.

SPEAKER_01 2:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 2:17

We already have a spot.

SPEAKER_01 2:19

I know.

SPEAKER_00 2:20

We just need the freaking building, man.

SPEAKER_04 2:22

I know.

SPEAKER_00 2:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 2:24

It'll happen. It'll happen.

SPEAKER_00 2:26

It will.

SPEAKER_04 2:28

That's our wives.

SPEAKER_00 2:29

Yes.

SPEAKER_04 2:30

When?

SPEAKER_00 2:31

Off of whim. We're gonna start this podcast for people.

SPEAKER_04 2:35

Relatable content that we can share and hopefully bring smiles and laughter to people, I guess.

SPEAKER_00 2:43

I want some good entertainment.

SPEAKER_04 2:45

Entertainment, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 2:46

With I I think my whole goal with this Entertainment. And like, there's a lot of people that are probably struggling, that are close to our age. That don't have other people to listen to. Because you listen to a podcast and it's like, yeah, they started somewhere, but they're not just everyday normal people like us.

SPEAKER_04 3:08

Well, they're already big. Like they're already doing the thing. Yeah. You know? So I feel like granted, we're not experts.

SPEAKER_00 3:17

I'm not experts. By any means. We're nothing special.

SPEAKER_04 3:20

No. We're probably like the I don't even know what word to even describe us as struggling.

unknown 3:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 3:33

We're on the struggle bus.

SPEAKER_04 3:34

We're on the struggle bus times 10.

SPEAKER_00 3:35

Right now.

SPEAKER_04 3:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 3:37

But I think a lot to do with that is maybe sometimes we don't feel fulfilled in our life.

SPEAKER_04 3:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 3:45

Like we we get out and we do things.

SPEAKER_04 3:48

We're very adventurous. Like we're very adventurous people, I would say, but we're like our kind of adventure is not what like your typical adventure people are.

SPEAKER_00 3:58

No. In my opinion. I don't think we do anything extreme. It's just we don't want. Like going to going to town and doing something there is like the last thing that we ever want to do.

SPEAKER_04 4:10

Yeah, we're not really big, like, granted, I'm a big town person. Well I'm not. Like I want to go shop with my mom.

SPEAKER_00 4:16

Well.

SPEAKER_04 4:17

But that's different.

SPEAKER_00 4:18

I feel like going to shopping is a little bit different.

SPEAKER_04 4:21

Yeah, that's like what I do with my mom.

SPEAKER_00 4:23

I also girls' day. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 4:25

But like us as a couple, I feel like we're more of those let's go find a spot and tent camp it in our Toyota and have adult beverages and have deep conversations with our friends. Like that is that's what we do for fun.

SPEAKER_00 4:46

I think the best conversations we have is when we're with our friends.

SPEAKER_04 4:49

Oh, absolutely.

SPEAKER_00 4:50

And then it's when we're with them, we have these deep conversations. We all have these different life advices and these different life goals. They all seem to go back to Escalant for some reason.

SPEAKER_04 5:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 5:03

But it's also the drives home.

SPEAKER_04 5:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 5:08

From hanging out with them is when we have our like probably our deepest conversations.

SPEAKER_04 5:12

Absolutely. Because it's a long three and a half hour drive.

unknown 5:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 5:17

It's a tough drive.

SPEAKER_04 5:18

It's a tough drive.

SPEAKER_00 5:19

I never like to leave.

SPEAKER_04 5:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 5:21

That's hard. It's tougher when we got the kids loaded.

SPEAKER_04 5:25

Yeah. When it's just me and you, that's different. But when we have the kids with us, it's like torture.

SPEAKER_02 5:32

Torture.

SPEAKER_04 5:33

Nobody, nobody talks about people like couples. They never talk about their kids in the car. I never knew before I had kids how horrible it is to travel with children.

SPEAKER_00 5:46

I have to pee.

SPEAKER_04 5:47

Constantly.

SPEAKER_00 5:48

Every 10 miles, I swear.

SPEAKER_04 5:50

But that's how I was.

SPEAKER_00 5:51

So I mean I guess it's normal it tracks, but oh I think the drives as a kid that I took weren't that long. Because if it was from it was like 45 minutes. And it would be I would sleep the whole way.

SPEAKER_04 6:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 6:08

Like that's the drives I remember. But I remember all the like dirt road drives. Like with my old man. I always remembered that.

SPEAKER_02 6:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 6:16

I remember laying my head down on his lap and then I'd pass out. But no, traveling with kids is tough.

SPEAKER_04 6:23

It's tough times.

SPEAKER_00 6:24

We we're not going on a trip this year because we don't even want to deal with it.

SPEAKER_04 6:27

Oh no. The thought of driving.

SPEAKER_00 6:30

What's that? Like seven and a half. Two.

SPEAKER_04 6:32

It's like seven and a half hours.

SPEAKER_00 6:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 6:34

With two kids, with a four-year-old and a two-year-old. I would rather shoot my big toe off.

SPEAKER_00 6:40

And that is tough.

SPEAKER_04 6:42

That is tough.

SPEAKER_00 6:44

Tough. I think it's tough because it's the first time we had a boy, and I thought it would be easier.

SPEAKER_04 6:48

Clark was a dream.

SPEAKER_00 6:50

Well, it's like.

SPEAKER_04 6:50

Really, she was.

SPEAKER_00 6:51

Could we You think you can just take take the diaper off, send him out on his own?

SPEAKER_04 6:57

No.

SPEAKER_00 6:58

No.

SPEAKER_04 6:59

No. Did that? Everybody told me Pete in the kitchen.

SPEAKER_00 7:02

Every right on the floor.

SPEAKER_04 7:04

I flung his shit on the floor in the living room.

SPEAKER_00 7:08

Remember?

SPEAKER_04 7:08

He pulled his pants off and I was like, oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_00 7:11

Well, he was knelt down shitting on the floor. What he didn't realize is he had pants on. So I'm just gonna shit down my leg here real quick. And then mom clean it up.

SPEAKER_04 7:24

Yeah, exactly. I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 7:27

You want to feel humbled? Let your kid shit on the floor. Man. I didn't think it would be that tough.

SPEAKER_04 7:35

Everybody, I asked actually several moms. I was like, you have boys. How did you potty train them? Oh, I just took their pants off and told them to go pee outside and they just went.

SPEAKER_00 7:45

I asked Kyle I asked Kyle that.

SPEAKER_04 7:46

What?

SPEAKER_00 7:47

I was like, how how did you do it? How did you train the boy? He's like, I don't know. It just kind of happened.

SPEAKER_04 7:54

We're not there yet, apparently.

SPEAKER_00 7:56

He pees off the porch a lot. That's what Kyle says.

SPEAKER_04 7:59

I would I would willingly open the back door for him.

SPEAKER_00 8:04

And go pee. We did that.

SPEAKER_04 8:05

He won't.

SPEAKER_00 8:06

He peed on the kitchen floor.

SPEAKER_04 8:07

Exactly.

SPEAKER_00 8:08

Because it was funny.

SPEAKER_04 8:09

He thinks it's comical, and then he steps in it and plays in it, and you're like, bruh.

SPEAKER_00 8:14

That's your own.

SPEAKER_04 8:15

It's disgusting.

SPEAKER_00 8:15

That's your piss.

SPEAKER_04 8:16

That's a boy for you. He is all boy.

SPEAKER_00 8:19

I probably did that. I probably did that.

SPEAKER_04 8:22

I don't know. I didn't. I don't remember being potty trained. I think I was like 10 months old.

SPEAKER_00 8:27

That's why I'm saying I probably did it. I have no idea, but I pee outside still. A lot.

SPEAKER_04 8:34

That's a boy thing. Well, there's just something different about it, I guess.

SPEAKER_00 8:38

It's the air, man.

SPEAKER_04 8:39

Got that good breeze.

SPEAKER_00 8:40

I'm telling you. It's like, oh man. In the morning, sweaty. I look over, neighbors aren't out back. I'm like, this is it. Let's pee.

SPEAKER_04 8:49

It's gross.

SPEAKER_00 8:50

It is gross.

SPEAKER_04 8:51

It's it's me and Mari on our trip this weekend.

SPEAKER_00 8:54

How was your trip?

SPEAKER_04 8:55

It was great. It was so fun.

SPEAKER_00 8:57

Was it relaxing?

SPEAKER_04 8:58

Very. We spent again, we went, we got up Saturday morning and we ran into Scipio to get ice because it was we got there and all of our ice melted. So we ran into Scipio and got ice.

SPEAKER_00 9:13

It's like 15 miles, wasn't it?

SPEAKER_04 9:15

I think it was 14. It only took us like it did not take us very long to get there and back.

SPEAKER_00 9:20

Well, I guess part of it's freeway, huh?

SPEAKER_04 9:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 9:22

I've never taken the exit to Yuba, right?

SPEAKER_04 9:25

I the lake is literally like you take the exit and turn right, and you're five minutes from the lake. Oh, yeah, I didn't know. It's literally like right behind.

SPEAKER_00 9:34

I thought it was like up against some mountain somewhere.

SPEAKER_04 9:37

I don't know, like it is like, I would have never known that was there.

SPEAKER_00 9:41

I I've never I've taken that exit with you and the kids.

SPEAKER_04 9:44

Yeah.

unknown 9:45

To P.

SPEAKER_00 9:45

To pee on the on ramp.

SPEAKER_04 9:47

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 9:48

Or off ramp.

SPEAKER_04 9:49

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_00 9:49

And then got right back on the on ramp.

SPEAKER_04 9:52

Yeah, so right there you just turn right.

SPEAKER_00 9:55

So it happens when you try to shoot this late at night and the kid the kids walked in?

SPEAKER_01 10:00

In and out constantly.

SPEAKER_00 10:03

Oh, it's not. It's it it is what it is. It is what it is. It is what it is. I I hate that, but I love it at the same time. I say it, but I don't want it to be it is what it is all the time. Well I don't want to just accept that it is what it is all the time. I just want to move past it.

unknown 10:24

I know.

SPEAKER_01 10:25

Back to my trip.

SPEAKER_00 10:26

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 10:27

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 10:27

Okay, back to Yuba.

SPEAKER_04 10:28

Yuba. You believe it.

SPEAKER_00 10:30

I want to say 310 to Yuma so bad.

SPEAKER_04 10:32

It's a good movie.

SPEAKER_00 10:33

It is a great one.

SPEAKER_04 10:35

So I don't even remember where I was going with that. Oh.

SPEAKER_00 10:40

The exit.

SPEAKER_04 10:41

The exit. Well, and we were on topic of peeing outside.

SPEAKER_00 10:45

Oh yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 10:46

So this little cabin that we were seeing, it's literally it was like a tough shed. And they made it into a room. But there was like no bathroom. Like no bathrooms, no shower, no sink, like nothing. You it was glorified camping for sure.

SPEAKER_00 11:05

Glamping. It was glamping. Glamping.

SPEAKER_04 11:07

I mean, I honestly probably wouldn't even classify it as glamping because glamping, you got a toilet and a shower.

SPEAKER_00 11:13

Yeah, probably. I'd never done it. I would rather load up Nat Toyota and go camp.

SPEAKER_04 11:19

It was probably easier to do that than where we were staying. Really? It was really nice. Like the the little room was really cute, but like the bathrooms that they had were clear up on the top of the mountain, like up on top of the hill from where we were to drive to go use it. And but so we were just like squatting by the vehicle. And Mari was like throwing a fit. She was like, What if like I'm like, just go like around the side, there's like bushes, you'll be fine. And she's like, But what if they touch me? I'm like, Mari, what happened to you? She's like, I've lived in that city for too long.

SPEAKER_00 11:56

There's a bathroom everywhere.

SPEAKER_04 11:57

Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_00 11:59

And there, but they're I feel like when I'm in the city, there's not. I almost piss my pants every time I'm in a city.

SPEAKER_04 12:04

It's so hard as a woman to pee outside.

SPEAKER_00 12:07

That's true.

SPEAKER_04 12:08

Because it's like it's just a whole thing. It's just not as easy for women as it is for boys.

SPEAKER_00 12:16

Well, boys pee wherever they want and they're not. Yes. Yes.

SPEAKER_04 12:21

And it's like spread your legs out hard enough that you don't pee on 'em or splash on them or it's like wet feet. Yeah. It's gross.

SPEAKER_00 12:30

Spackle foot. Dirt. Dirt. Dirt clod.

SPEAKER_04 12:36

Like, I don't want everybody to know that I just peed.

SPEAKER_00 12:38

Yeah. It's all over your new shoes.

SPEAKER_04 12:40

Yeah, splattered all over your jeans. Like, that's great. Love that for me.

SPEAKER_00 12:44

Yeah, thanks for that.

SPEAKER_04 12:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 12:46

Peeing.

SPEAKER_04 12:47

Oh, yeah. It was a super cute place, but the whole having to like, granted, I'm super used to just walking, roughing it.

SPEAKER_00 12:55

Well, we that's what we're doing.

SPEAKER_04 12:56

We rough it pretty often.

SPEAKER_00 12:58

We do.

SPEAKER_04 12:58

So it was pretty normal for me.

SPEAKER_00 13:00

We've gotten a lot of adventures this year. Tons of adventures. Like, we still have some in the fall.

SPEAKER_04 13:06

Yeah, we've still got a few coming up.

SPEAKER_00 13:08

We're gonna go it's a two-day overland trip, like a long ways. Clear down Collets.

SPEAKER_04 13:17

Is that when we're going to PAL?

SPEAKER_00 13:18

We're it's not to PAL, but it's to the rim above PAL.

SPEAKER_04 13:22

Okay. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 13:22

So we're gonna camp at the very top and we're gonna be looking over the lake.

SPEAKER_04 13:26

Is that for Kyler's?

SPEAKER_00 13:29

Yeah, I think that's for Kyle's birthday. It'll be in November sometime.

SPEAKER_04 13:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 13:32

So we have that. Then the deer hunt.

SPEAKER_04 13:35

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00 13:35

But we have a lot going on.

SPEAKER_04 13:37

Well, fall gets pretty busy for us just with like hunts.

SPEAKER_00 13:41

Well, we both have deer tags this year.

SPEAKER_04 13:42

Yeah, we do. This is the first deer tag I've had in. This is the first hunt that me and we have we both have a tag. Yes. I usually just tag along. Yes. Which I like because it takes the pressure off of me and I can just enjoy being out and doing the things.

SPEAKER_00 13:59

I think it'll be fun though if we find you a buck and you get it out.

SPEAKER_04 14:03

Would be ideal.

SPEAKER_00 14:04

And we'll have you'll have me to help.

SPEAKER_04 14:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 14:08

You're not just out there by yourself.

SPEAKER_04 14:09

Pack my own deer out. I've never packed anything before.

SPEAKER_00 14:12

You packed out uh I did help pack out Squiggly Dan's elk.

SPEAKER_04 14:16

Squiggly Dan's elk that one year. That his spike.

SPEAKER_00 14:19

I haven't seen Squiggly Dan in a while. Got a bad car wreck.

No. I do not recall you ever telling me that. This was not last week. Okay.

SPEAKER_04 15:13

This was gotcha. Well that sucks.

SPEAKER_00 15:16

I want to say it was when we were building Colorado City. So it could have been longer than that. Could have been four years. I don't know.

SPEAKER_04 15:26

I don't remember.

SPEAKER_00 15:27

Well, if I did, it would have been a hot minute ago.

SPEAKER_04 15:30

Yeah, I probably tuned that one out.

SPEAKER_00 15:32

Tuned it out? Is that what you said? Yeah. You just not listened?

SPEAKER_04 15:35

Good.

SPEAKER_00 16:38

This whole weekend. Not one. She woke me up at like three o'clock before.

SPEAKER_04 16:42

Well, you're a little bit of a stickler, and I'm sure you stopped giving her fluids at like 6 p.m.

SPEAKER_00 16:48

No. Like 6.05.

SPEAKER_04 16:51

Ah. Makes sense.

SPEAKER_00 16:53

She does it though.

SPEAKER_04 17:11

I know. Well, remember when she was cracking them open at 2 a.m.

SPEAKER_00 17:14

That's what I'm saying. Guess who got her hooked on them?

SPEAKER_04 17:17

What do I say?

SPEAKER_00 17:18

That's your fault.

SPEAKER_04 17:19

I can't.

SPEAKER_00 17:20

I'm blaming you.

SPEAKER_04 17:21

I have a problem, I know. I'm the first one to admit it, okay?

SPEAKER_00 17:27

I know, but she doesn't have to have that problem.

SPEAKER_04 17:30

I probably had that problem at her age.

SPEAKER_00 17:32

Because your mom does the same shit.

SPEAKER_04 17:34

I know. But so did my grandma. My grandma Colleen, she was a Diet Coke girly, still is.

SPEAKER_00 17:45

She sounds Diet Coke.

SPEAKER_04 17:47

My grandma Colleen, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 17:49

Who's the Diet Pepsi person?

SPEAKER_04 17:51

My Aunt Lori.

SPEAKER_00 17:52

That's who that is.

SPEAKER_04 17:53

Yeah. My Aunt Lori's a Diet Pepsi girl.

SPEAKER_00 17:55

The soda pops.

SPEAKER_04 17:57

We're a soda fam. At least my mom's side of the family.

SPEAKER_00 18:01

You yeah, you guys definitely have it around.

SPEAKER_04 18:03

Like yeah, always.

SPEAKER_00 18:04

All the time.

SPEAKER_04 18:05

Always. Like if the fridge is doesn't have Diet Coke in it, there's a problem. There's a problem.

SPEAKER_00 18:13

I could go without.

SPEAKER_04 18:14

I have to do that.

SPEAKER_00 18:16

I do like them now.

SPEAKER_04 18:17

It's yeah, because they're freaking good.

SPEAKER_00 18:19

Because it's sometimes it's the only thing around.

SPEAKER_04 18:22

Water or Diet Coke. I mean, pick what you want.

SPEAKER_00 18:25

Water.

SPEAKER_04 18:26

There are some re lights in the pantry.

SPEAKER_00 18:28

I made a jug today.

SPEAKER_04 18:29

I saw that.

SPEAKER_00 18:30

Put in the fridge. I wanted to make tea and then I was out.

SPEAKER_04 18:33

Oh.

SPEAKER_00 18:33

And I didn't want to go anywhere.

SPEAKER_04 18:35

I have to confess something. I'm pretty positive I threw your tea away when I cleaned out the pantry.

SPEAKER_00 18:39

Why did you do that? That's good shit.

SPEAKER_04 18:43

There was an abundance. There were like four boxes of like half-opened tea.

SPEAKER_00 18:50

You could have left one.

SPEAKER_04 18:52

No, I think I just chucked them all.

SPEAKER_00 18:54

I know you did. I looked for them.

SPEAKER_04 18:55

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you threw them all away.

SPEAKER_00 18:57

Grandma Janny gave me those.

SPEAKER_04 18:58

They were old stale or something.

SPEAKER_00 19:00

Tea doesn't go stale. You add water. It's dried leaves already. It's dried leaves.

SPEAKER_04 19:08

Well, it's just like loose in there.

SPEAKER_00 19:12

Some of the bags rip.

SPEAKER_04 19:13

Like loose dried tea bags. That's nobody likes that.

SPEAKER_00 19:23

You put it in hot in water. It moistens them back up.

SPEAKER_04 19:29

You can't.

SPEAKER_00 19:30

I'm telling you. You threw my tea away. Yeah, I did. Okay.

SPEAKER_04 19:36

There's nothing safe here when I'm on a tangent. If I'm throwing things away, everything goes.

SPEAKER_00 19:41

I'm actually glad when I was setting all this up, you weren't around. Because there's a lot of stuff that was on the desk in here that is in the dumpster.

SPEAKER_04 19:50

Grey, I probably won't miss it.

SPEAKER_00 19:52

What that would be awesome. Yeah. I'll clean it up.

SPEAKER_04 19:54

That's why remember, okay. I don't I'm pretty sure I told you this. But remember when we were living in Escalant in our old house and you had those table mats? Like table set mat. You know what I'm talking about?

SPEAKER_00 20:09

I eat at the table.

SPEAKER_04 20:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 20:11

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 20:11

I hated those things. They were ugly.

SPEAKER_00 20:14

They're table mats.

SPEAKER_04 20:16

And when you left for work trash can. I chucked them suckers.

SPEAKER_00 20:22

Oh, I wondered where they went.

SPEAKER_04 20:24

I threw them away.

SPEAKER_00 20:25

Okay. I had a system.

SPEAKER_04 20:28

I they were ugly. And who uses table mats anymore?

SPEAKER_00 20:33

Me.

SPEAKER_04 20:35

Why?

SPEAKER_00 20:36

Because we always had table mats when I was a kid. We always ate at the table. The kids set the table.

SPEAKER_04 20:43

I mean, so did we. I mean, we set the table like that was our job. If like my mom was cooking dinner. Someone had to set the table.

SPEAKER_00 20:51

We set the table, carried everything to the table. Well, we had tablecloths.

SPEAKER_04 20:59

Heather's a tablecloth girl. She totally is.

SPEAKER_00 21:03

You've seen the placemats.

SPEAKER_04 21:05

Placemats.

SPEAKER_00 21:06

That's what they're called. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 21:08

Yeah.

unknown 21:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 21:09

When we sit down at dinner at Heather's, there's She doesn't have table mats on it.

SPEAKER_04 21:14

She just puts a tablecloth on the table.

SPEAKER_00 21:16

Yeah, but we we also had table mats or placemats. Placemats. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 21:24

I mean, you didn't.

SPEAKER_00 21:25

I guess that's where I got it. I didn't. I didn't just pull that out of my back pocket. Like, oh yeah, got mom place, getting some placemats.

SPEAKER_04 21:34

Such a bachelor's pad. It was it was such a bachelor's pad when I moved in there.

SPEAKER_00 21:39

It was a party.

SPEAKER_04 21:39

Oh. Every weekend. I probably took Friday through Sunday. It was a party house.

SPEAKER_00 21:45

I probably took years off my life. But it was fun.

SPEAKER_04 21:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 21:51

It's still fun.

SPEAKER_04 21:53

We're just getting old now.

SPEAKER_00 21:54

Yeah, I just go to bed earlier. So I don't know.

SPEAKER_04 21:59

Last weekend. we were like I went to bed pretty early we went to bed pretty early compared to previous years that's what I'm saying previous 24 there was there was no four o'clock in the morning there was no four aamers it was like I think what Friday night we were in bed by it was two it was two and then Saturday night I went to bed it was close to two it was like one one thirty I think by the time I got in bed I had to go give rides yes you did go to give rides yep little sis called me and was like I need a ride proud of him gotcha I was shocked I'm actually a little surprised at that too usually you just bummer ride yeah or they crash on someone's oh yeah like they'll just they're they're those people that just will they're comfortable anywhere they go and I don't know how you get to that point because there is zero way I would ever just be like hey I'm just gonna like crash on your couch is that cool I think I'm that guy no I will crash on your couch like what where does that come from being moved around a lot going to people's houses your sisters were never moved around a lot no going to people's houses just like we're oh we're going over here this weekend to crash on the couch that is just bizarre behavior for me or we would go to we went to grandma Janny's and grandma Margie's or grandma Taylor's sorry we went to grandma Margie's like during the day we didn't go there for dinner and you always just like fell asleep on the couch both places everyone crash grandpa Sam's I slept on the couch there for a long time especially when I stayed there like all summer before we moved to Escalan that's where we stayed I would just stay with with grandpa and Heather and dad would go to grandma Jan Lee's and Papa Louie's house I would too they had their room there. Have you seen your grandpa Sam's house?

SPEAKER_00 24:03

Grandpa Sam would just wake a guy up in the morning at six years old and pour you coffee and it was the coolest thing on earth and then we would go feed and you get mad when Clark drinks my coffee or my diet coke your grandpa Sam was doing the same thing the coffee doesn't bother me as much as the Diet Coke. Caffeine it's caffeine but it's Diet Coke it's not coffee I mean I have a Diet Coke in my co every morning.

SPEAKER_04 24:32

I know what do you Diet Coke in one hand and my coffee in the other you're like a I can't drink a cup of coffee with a dry mouth like first thing in the morning when you've got like cotton sleepy mouth I can't just be like drinking a cup of coffee.

SPEAKER_00 24:47

I'm gonna throw this out here okay if you say water drink water like a whole glass and then have your coffee. No it doesn't hit the same you're an addict for sure absolutely it's fine it's fine pause you need to be in bed right now. So this might be a recurring thing that our our child interruptions yeah a child interruption for our the podcast so we're gonna have to edit that out but that's okay and it's the only time we're gonna have to do it or that we're gonna have to do it. Yeah is gonna probably be late at night on Sunday nights. Yeah but that's okay or Thursday nights honestly we almost decided we were gonna get in bed I felt like right there for a second and then I was like if we're gonna do this we just gotta do it. And you're like let's do it.

SPEAKER_04 25:52

Might as well I mean we get in bed and chat anyway what's the difference like True Might as well sit here sit right here and chat.

SPEAKER_00 26:02

Yes. I think people can gain something from this I think so yeah I wanna build I want to build okay like I think most of the reason we want to do this is we're creating something together. Yeah instead of you know like you you know you have your TikToks and stuff and I have my social media stuff on my TikTok's nothing special.

SPEAKER_04 26:25

You've got a couple hundred dollars on there or something I did was I was looking at my TikTok the other day and I mean no I wouldn't say followers but you have I don't have a ton of followers but I get lots of views on my on a couple of them like on my one of them I have like 584000 views on it. I was like oh that's good that's crazy I think the like short form video though is really it's good it's entertaining as hell I love I it's almost too entertaining oh absolutely I have to catch me scrolling yeah I have to put my phone down and watch myself sometimes like oh yeah I'm watching too much of that or I'm down a rabbit hole and when I'm on it no anyone talking around me I don't even know they're talking I know it drives me freaking crazy I like I'm tuned in I know I can be in the kitchen and you're sitting in the chair and I'm literally yelling at you trying to have a conversation and you're just like nothing.

SPEAKER_00 27:24

Yeah I don't I don't want to do that. Yeah that's also what's nice about getting out and doing things. Yeah most of the times when we're out somewhere there's probably not any phone service. No that's great.

SPEAKER_04 27:37

That's a that's a complete disconnection honestly like I was talking to Mari about this and me and you talked about it too like one of my big goals in my life now is to be able to find peace in my life because I just it's hard life is hard and it is really heavy sometimes.

SPEAKER_00 28:02

I was gonna say life right now seems life right now seems really heavy so to be able to find just a little peace and have that complete full body feeling is kind of hard to come by.

SPEAKER_04 28:19

Yeah so like when we go and we are cruising around up on the mountain just the sun's on you and I and I said this to you I have peace right now. That is how I felt on this trip with Mari. I was like I just feel complete content peace I'm just I'm happy to be here I don't have to go anywhere there's nobody climbing on me or talking to me or it's just peace and I crave that feeling all the time because I don't have it on a day-to-day basis.

SPEAKER_00 28:56

Well when we both work full time I think I think that's why it hits different. Probably is because like we had all the time in the world before kids before we were really on our career path to do that and we didn't do that. Like we we did it sometimes. Yeah but now we like make the time for it and I think starting this we're making time for each other outside of work outside of play with friends and outside of raising kids. There's not a lot of me and you time. No I think that's why like the best conversations we have is when we're driving and it's just me and you. Yeah doing this is gonna make it to where we're holding each other accountable to creating and doing this together.

SPEAKER_04 29:49

Well to have a conversation yeah just to talk not even like forced conversation it's just like sitting down and just chatting. You know like when you were young and you'd sit on the phone for hours. Yes and you just chat with whoever you were talking to for like two to three hours.

SPEAKER_00 30:06

On the landline yeah on the landline I loved it yeah wait I we should just have a landline still landlines were badass.

SPEAKER_04 30:15

That was I had one in the old house I remember sitting on my kitchen counter because our phone sat on our kitchen counter and I remember sitting on the kitchen counter with like our phone and I would talk to my friends for hours about I don't even know what but I thought that was so cool.

SPEAKER_00 30:34

It was the best it was the best we would we would get the landline phone and I want to say it was downstairs or maybe Jesse had his own at one point and for some reason there was a phone jack in his closet and we would run upstairs into his bedroom and plug it in the closet and we would lay in there and just call everybody.

SPEAKER_04 30:54

I remember laying in my closet with my next door neighbor she would hang out with me all the time but we would lay in my closet and we would had our we had our phone because it was it wasn't like a like I don't you know like the one with the cords? Yeah it was a landline phone. Yeah but it was like cordless you know oh it had the yeah like yeah yeah and so we'd lay in the in our in my closet and we'd prank call people star 67 heck yeah that was the shit is that what it is star six seven star 67 I think so yeah yeah and it would uh show up as unknown unknown does that still work yes matter of fact my coworker cross street she was she's has this whole thing going on but she had to she star 67 a company because they kept hanging up on her because they had her number on call D and they wouldn't talk to her so she star 67 dumb and she said it worked. So apparently she gets someone new no it was the same it was the same and she was like listen up you need to talk to me yeah holy cow I know I didn't I didn't know if it worked I didn't either I I hadn't heard that term in so long and then she's made a comment to me about it and I was like I forgot that even existed.

SPEAKER_00 32:12

I haven't done that in forever I had no reason to tell you no no no well you you grow up and well yeah those things just go away yeah and now our phones and computers and everything are in our pocket. Yeah that's the way it goes I guess either keep up with the times or let it just pass you. I guess I really can't stay content long though uh no you me? No happening I'm not good at it. No I get a lot of ideas. Yeah I feel like I'm a long ways from my goals at all times.

SPEAKER_04 32:50

Well it's because you have 10 million goals open like you're like that web browser that you have like 20 browsers open at once and you just bounce in between them all of them all the time and you never can close them.

SPEAKER_00 33:03

That's exactly what I'm doing.

SPEAKER_04 33:05

Yeah at all the all the time all the time I don't know I have a feeling about this though yeah I don't it's something different something completely out of our I don't even know this is not even our will house but like out of maybe a little out of character for us.

SPEAKER_00 33:26

I think it is you know I've thought about this a lot just like in the past week because it was a week ago when we decided we were gonna let's just let's shoot a podcast why not let's just be ourselves everyone sees the good in 30 seconds on our Facebooks and Instagrams but really there's a lot that goes on that's tough. Oh yeah like we're normal people we are normal people struggling with whatever daily life I it's work for you kids after work so there's no break work again then after all that we gotta pay a babysitter to raise our own kids I don't like that it's terrible yeah we did it but we bounced around on bikes as kids it seems different now I my my mom worked when I was young my mom was home for I think it was like I think I was in the third grade when my mom went back to work and I don't really remember before that but like third grade for some reason is just like kind of a sticking point for me.

SPEAKER_04 34:40

Right when my mom went back to work and we didn't have a babysitter that was during the school year we didn't have a babysitter. Like we'd we'd get up my mom would get us ready for school we'd get up my mom would get us ready for school and then she'd go to work and she worked in St. George and so we got ourselves to school there was there was a carpool actually so there were three other houses on our street and each house would take a turn and drive everybody to school and then that's how we got to school and then we all would walk home from school and we were only like what five blocks away from our house where school was so it was pretty easy to just walk home yeah and then we didn't have a babysitter.

SPEAKER_00 35:34

That's how we just we were just home we had I feel like I had I had multiple babysitters and it I there's also daycare like I went to daycare. Right well you lived in the city right so it was more accessible at that time I don't want to have to do that now that I have my own kids. Well you're kind of germophobe ew it's disgusting it smells weird in there I bet if I I bet if I walked in there and it smelled that way it would bring me right back.

SPEAKER_04 36:05

I bet it would gives me the shivers like it freaks me out.

SPEAKER_00 36:09

Like the mats on the ground that kids run on that's disgusting that are like kind of sticky. Ew that I know that you're not into it but no that is what I think of when I think of daycare.

SPEAKER_04 36:21

I have a hard time sending Clark to to school.

SPEAKER_00 36:24

Yeah and sitting cross legged on the floor just cuz I don't know what we were doing I don't know what we were doing but sitting cross legged on the floor. Anyway back to what was I saying a goal I was talking about something and then I totally lost track I ADD I ADD'd the shit out of that this is us.

SPEAKER_04 36:48

Well it is pure and simple organic somewhere with that go off on a tangent and then we're like wait what are we talking about?

SPEAKER_00 36:56

This is gonna be tough it's gonna be tough to stay on track we're talking about life being heavy yeah and working it's and I don't want to raise the kids through FaceTime right I also like I feel stagnant. I almost feel like I'm not moving anywhere. Yeah I feel like this can create a this is our goal right now. I feel like this is something that is not just a oh I'm gonna do this this weekend and it's gonna be done I feel like we're making time for each other to build something and build something our way because no one's telling us how we should do it. Yeah we're just gonna do it our way I'm excited. I'm excited I'm pretty pumped about it.

SPEAKER_04 37:42

I feel good about it. Me too it's been really hard to like not talk about it though. I so because we tell everybody everything we're very open people.

SPEAKER_00 37:53

I stayed up till you you went to Yuba yeah I stayed up to like two o'clock in the morning Friday night and I painted this wall and patched all the 4,000 holes from hanging stuff in here and I just felt proud about it.

SPEAKER_04 38:11

You should it looks fantastic.

SPEAKER_00 38:13

Oh thank you yeah and then two well it's like 1 30 again Saturday night so last night and I sent a video to Valdez of the office and I was like this is the office but I didn't install these oh yeah because I don't want him to know yeah I don't want anybody to know yet I want it to be we're gonna record three episodes before we release anything. So you're gonna be weeks behind when you reach this but yeah I want to tell people so bad. I know I want I want to tell my buddies at work.

SPEAKER_04 38:51

I know my buddies at work are we tell everybody well we tell our friends and my my sister I think our I think our friends are like our number one yeah that we tell them everything but that that is our that is our little community we don't have a single friend in this town that is our age no we don't they're all older we're just kind of here doing our thing we're also we're not the church going type no I like I like my cold snacks and I like to tell people what I think whether it's good or bad well yep that's just the way it is I had the neighbor it was a couple weeks ago which neighbor across the street like across the street?

SPEAKER_00 39:38

Uh-huh asked like across yeah oh okay asked me if I was going to young men's tonight here a couple weeks ago to have dinner and I was in the driveway I was drinking a beer and I was like uh no I will not be there I'm not I'm not I won't be attending that one I'm not I will not be there oh and I think you was just trying to kind of start a conversation I don't know anything about that well you weren't raised in anything no I wasn't but for some reason it's because I'm here I feel like people think I am I think also people know also your family well I have like four different sets of family though yeah and the ones I was with the most that I register with the most were definitely not no and still aren't no I just heard Clark open a door I heard her too anyway so nothing against that no no but I definitely don't have any friends in the world that's just not the life we live no so it we don't choose that that life no and that's totally fine if you do great if you don't great then that's fine you do you what I d I don't like the pressure of it that's why that's why I disagree disagree so hard about it is because there's a lot of that pressure around here. Oh yeah it's like okay can you just accept me for me instead of instead of just not I think that's why we have such close knit friends is because there's no pressure. No it's just easy going.

SPEAKER_04 41:23

Yeah they know who we are we are who we are but that's kind of how me and you are always is like we are who we are and if you don't like it see you later like I really couldn't care less if you liked me or not.

SPEAKER_00 41:38

Yes and I'm definitely not I'm pretty easy to get along with oh absolutely but I'm not I wouldn't say I'm best friends with everybody like I have my we have our people we have our people and for some reason around here our people are much older yeah and they're like they're like our parents' age yeah but they're but there are people there are people there are type of people we want to be with yeah so which is good because hanging out with older people you learn things definitely you learn life things and I think that's where a lot of I'm not even saying we make good decisions but I think we're I think we're gonna set ourselves up for some success. Yeah we've made some really good decisions just so far in life I mean we're only I'm third I'm 31 you're 30 we're doing the damn thing we're doing the damn thing yeah we're just living our life the best we can and yeah it's it's a struggle well yeah for I mean I feel like that struggle's probably never gonna stop just because we have big goals I want to raise healthy kids and I want to be there to raise them. Yeah I want to make a ton of memories with you and the kids. It's like I said we I want to I I want the experiences and I want to make the memories and I don't want to be told what I'm doing every single day. If I want to get up in the morning and do what I want to do that would be great.

SPEAKER_04 43:10

Yeah so I'm saying I want perfect day okay let's let's talk about that I would love to hear your perfect day so my perfect day like random Tuesday okay I want to wake up naturally naturally okay I don't want to wake up to an alarm clock usually my kids are waking me up but that's a whole different story. Well yeah that's uh I wouldn't even call that your alarm clock though yeah no probably not I just want to wake up naturally roll out of bed be chill get me a cup of coffee have me a dead coke and sit on the couch and watch my kids play in the morning no rush maybe around 9 30 10 o'clock make Some breakfast, have a little snack, and then kids play, go outside and play, go to the park, maybe, or like, uh, we're out of groceries. Let's run to St. George and let's get some groceries, right? Or something. Just like no plan in the world, no obligations, just being chill. That's just like my perfect kind of day. I don't I don't want to have to be somewhere. I don't want to report to somebody. I don't want to have to ask for permission to take my kids to the dentist. I find that extremely asinine. I'm a grown-ass woman and I have to ask for permission to make sure that my kids are getting to a doctor's appointment.

SPEAKER_00 44:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 44:44

How ridiculous is that?

SPEAKER_00 44:45

It's well, we were all trained for that.

SPEAKER_04 44:49

I hate it.

SPEAKER_00 44:50

In today's day and age.

SPEAKER_04 44:52

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00 44:53

And I mean, really, in even our parents' day and age, we were all trained to work, do as you're told, don't talk out of place, raise your hand for a question.

SPEAKER_04 45:05

With that being said, though, I think there's that fine line between being respectful, being a good person, and those are all qualities of that. But in the work atmosphere, that's all we know. That's all we've been told to do.

SPEAKER_00 45:24

Well, you you do what you're told to work.

SPEAKER_04 45:26

Right. And yes, it's like your parents are teach telling you what to do, but they're not your parents.

SPEAKER_00 45:32

Yeah. Well, we do it because we need a paycheck.

SPEAKER_04 45:36

Well, yeah. Money.

SPEAKER_00 45:38

Money is yeah, money is a lot of things. Yeah. It's what keeps the roof over the head and the groceries in the fridge and the kids in clothes because they're growing like weeds.

SPEAKER_04 45:51

Yeah. I just spent a lot of freaking money on school clothes for our four-year-old.

SPEAKER_00 45:57

Well, she's outgrown everything.

SPEAKER_04 45:59

It's true. She actually really did need new clothes.

SPEAKER_00 46:01

Like all of her pants.

SPEAKER_04 46:03

I was like, girl, when like when did you grow?

SPEAKER_00 46:06

Three inches.

SPEAKER_04 46:07

It's like crazy.

SPEAKER_00 46:08

She I put a pair of pants on her Friday.

SPEAKER_01 46:13

Were they too short?

SPEAKER_00 46:14

Like times ten. I was like, those are. Is there a flood coming? Yeah. Those are high waters.

SPEAKER_04 46:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 46:22

But yeah, she's getting tall.

SPEAKER_04 46:25

She's getting so tall.

SPEAKER_00 46:26

They grow fast.

SPEAKER_04 46:27

They do.

SPEAKER_00 46:28

Well, and that, yeah, it's like your I do like your perfect morning though.

SPEAKER_04 46:32

I know.

SPEAKER_00 46:32

I I want to do that.

SPEAKER_04 46:34

That just sounds like a dream, right?

SPEAKER_00 46:36

Mine's different, but if we're gonna talk about a perfect morning at the house.

SPEAKER_04 46:40

Yeah, at the house? Yeah, that would be my perfect morning.

SPEAKER_00 46:43

I wouldn't change much anything about that.

SPEAKER_04 46:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 46:45

I would like to do that too.

SPEAKER_04 46:46

Like on Thursday when I took the day off to go to town and run those errands. It was so nice. I like the kids slept in. So I woke up about 8:30, rolled out of bed. I laid there for quite a while. And then got out of bed, made me a cup of coffee, sat in, sat on the recliner. Clark was watching cartoons. We just chatted and then we got we got ready, got the kids ready. Like, no rush. I wasn't stressed. I wasn't like in a hurry to be somewhere. I had all the time of the day to get to where I needed to be. It was just easy. Like that kind of day is just like what I need. Because my normal day, I have to be, I'm usually late because I'm exhausted.

SPEAKER_02 47:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 47:34

So I'm always late for work. And it's just rushing all the time. I don't want to be rushed. I hate being rushed. It's like my biggest pet beef in life. It's being rushed.

SPEAKER_00 47:44

Yeah. I don't like to be rushed. I don't like to be rushed at all. I want to, I'd like to do things at my own pace. I also I don't not like work though.

SPEAKER_04 47:56

Right.

SPEAKER_00 47:57

I I actually like I enjoy having a task to do.

SPEAKER_04 48:00

Right.

SPEAKER_00 48:02

Because just like you said about my web browsers or whatever the hell you just said.

SPEAKER_04 48:06

I've got 20 of them on, right?

SPEAKER_00 48:07

I've got 20 web browsers open. Okay. I'm constantly thinking, doing, wanting to build something, create something, make a video about something.

SPEAKER_04 48:16

Yeah. And you're bouncing between all 20 of them.

SPEAKER_00 48:19

And that's all day long. I think that's why sometimes I feel like I'm not moving, is because I don't ever stick with one thing. Yeah. I'm always, oh, I'm gonna go shoot guns this weekend and and just stay fresh and train. But damn what I love to go ride my dirt bike too. Oh, but I also want to just turn the sprinkler on out back so the kids can run around, and me and you can have a beverage on the back porch. I want to do all of those. Next weekend hasn't even been here yet. We're not even done with the work week.

SPEAKER_02 48:53

No.

SPEAKER_00 48:54

So it's like that's three browsers.

SPEAKER_03 48:58

That's just the tip of the iceberg for you.

SPEAKER_00 49:02

Well, I have, yeah, I don't know. But I feel like a lot of the things I want to do are goal-oriented in a way to where, oh, maybe if I do a little bit here and a little bit there and a little bit here, it'll get somewhere. And it really It just never does. Well, I I don't gain any ground on one specific thing. Which, with that being said, I am good at a lot of things. I haven't mastered any of them.

SPEAKER_03 49:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 49:35

None whatsoever. But that's just who I am, I guess.

SPEAKER_04 49:40

You're definitely a go-go-goer and need a task. I don't necessarily need a task, but I like I'm more of a content person for sure. I'm definitely the content person in our relationship.

SPEAKER_00 49:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 49:59

You're like always like two feet jumping on into something. And I'm just like, ooh, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on. Let me test the waters first, a little toe dip here and there. So let me see how things are. And so I feel like I'm more like the reserved, content, let's think about it. And you're like, nah, let's just jump off the deep end and see where it takes us. Wow. And that stresses me out.

SPEAKER_00 50:26

It might stress you out, but it can be fun for me.

SPEAKER_04 50:31

I'm not having fun when I'm stressed.

SPEAKER_00 50:33

I know you're not having fun when you're stressed. I do jump in with both feet.

SPEAKER_01 50:37

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_00 50:38

That's why when I mentioned the podcast thing, and you were like, yeah, I think we could do that, or we should start that.

SPEAKER_04 50:48

But what were my words?

SPEAKER_00 50:51

Let me think.

SPEAKER_04 50:53

I'm testing it.

SPEAKER_00 50:54

Because I'm sure I thought of a lot in between here and there.

SPEAKER_04 50:57

I'm pretty sure I said, we can't spend any money.

SPEAKER_00 51:00

You did? The whole time I was building the office out, I had that in my mind.

SPEAKER_04 51:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 51:06

I thought you had like something really serious, but no, you did say that. Hey, I did good.

SPEAKER_04 51:11

I mean, you did. You kept it pretty limited on budget. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 51:15

Paint was like. I don't know. I bought paint.

SPEAKER_04 51:21

Paint really, it really doesn't matter. You built a lot of the stuff and used a lot of stuff that we already had.

SPEAKER_00 51:25

I bought the chairs, I bought the mic stands.

SPEAKER_04 51:29

And these things.

SPEAKER_00 51:31

Oh, yeah. Amazon, man.

SPEAKER_04 51:33

Amazon.

SPEAKER_00 51:34

We talked about the website. We talked about this on Sunday. Last week.

SPEAKER_04 51:38

Last weekend, yeah. A week ago today.

SPEAKER_00 51:41

And I ordered stuff probably Tuesday.

SPEAKER_03 51:44

Oh.

SPEAKER_00 51:45

I was not waiting. So when when you say I jump in head first into the deep end, I don't even put my arms out.

unknown 51:54

No.

SPEAKER_04 51:55

You're just face planning.

SPEAKER_00 51:56

I just fucking send it.

SPEAKER_04 51:58

Red belly. Nobody cares.

SPEAKER_00 52:00

Yeah, I'm just going in.

SPEAKER_04 52:02

I do like that about you in some ways because it pushes me a little bit more, because I'm definitely that person that's gonna be more reserved on that, but it pushes me to step out of my comfort zone, which I think is super important in relationships where it's like one's running and the other one's walking, but you're always encouraging me to run. Well, you know.

SPEAKER_00 52:33

Yeah, I get what you're saying. Yeah, I'm definitely full force ahead.

SPEAKER_04 52:37

Always, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 52:39

But I think that's where we have a good balance.

SPEAKER_04 52:41

I think so.

SPEAKER_00 52:42

Cause when you you will say something if I get like ahead of myself.

SPEAKER_04 52:46

Yeah, I'm yeah, I'm definitely that like voice of reason or like let's look at the bigger picture, let's bring it back into perspective kind of person, and that is helpful because you're like, okay, let's rein you back in and reevaluate.

SPEAKER_00 53:02

It might take multiple people, and it has before, yeah, but no, you're definitely the voice of reason.

SPEAKER_01 53:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 53:10

And I think that's like I I need that.

SPEAKER_01 53:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 53:14

I don't know. It's a good balance. We might disagree on some things. I'm pretty pretty hard-headed when I have my mind set on something.

SPEAKER_04 53:23

Yeah. If you think your mindset it is, that's what it is.

SPEAKER_00 53:26

No, and I feel like that's that can be a fault. Like it's a yeah, I sometimes I have to check myself, and when it does hit me, it's probably too late, and I already told you, hell no, I'm doing this thing. And then I have to bring it back in and be like, you know what, you're right.

SPEAKER_02 53:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 53:45

I probably shouldn't have gone full speed ahead at that thing. But what do you do? Not that I try to.

SPEAKER_04 53:57

I can't do a single thing about it, so I try to be better. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 54:01

I can do better. Yeah. I can do better at a lot of things. But we're still just moving through, trying to figure it out.

SPEAKER_01 54:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 54:08

I think everybody can get learned something from that.

SPEAKER_01 54:11

Oh, for sure.

SPEAKER_00 54:13

I think part of why we realize that too is we actually talk about it.

SPEAKER_04 54:18

Yeah, conversation. Wait, conversation hasn't always been our strongest suit.

SPEAKER_00 54:22

No, it took time.

SPEAKER_04 54:23

It took some time to be able to be comfortable enough to have some good conversations. But I think since we have, I don't know what in the last two years, we've really opened up conversational-wise, and that's helped immensely.

SPEAKER_00 54:42

Well, I think when you bring kids into the world, you can't avoid it. You can't avoid the hard conversations. There was there was hard ones from the get-go.

SPEAKER_01 54:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 54:52

That like we had some tough times right there at the beginning.

SPEAKER_01 54:56

For sure.

SPEAKER_00 54:57

It yeah.

SPEAKER_01 54:58

For sure.

SPEAKER_00 54:59

Times where I'd get in the truck and disappear for a while.

SPEAKER_01 55:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 55:02

That was tough.

SPEAKER_01 55:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 55:04

Like I second guessed everything.

SPEAKER_01 55:06

Right.

SPEAKER_00 55:07

All the time. Like and I, you know, you yeah, you might need to second guess some things, but then you're also my voice reason now looking back. Reel me back in. You know? But yeah, I can be hard-headed. So can you.

SPEAKER_01 55:25

I am very hard-headed.

SPEAKER_00 55:27

Mm-hmm. That's alright though. We can talk about it.

SPEAKER_04 55:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 55:30

We can agree on that that we're hard-headed.

SPEAKER_04 55:33

I I mean I'm the first to admit that I am for sure.

SPEAKER_00 55:36

Me too. I am too.

SPEAKER_04 55:38

I'm not the easiest person to get along with.

SPEAKER_00 55:42

You got some RBF too, so.

SPEAKER_04 55:44

I got some serious RBF.

SPEAKER_00 55:46

Yeah, it's alright.

SPEAKER_04 55:47

I'm not an approachable person.

SPEAKER_00 55:49

I would approach you.

SPEAKER_04 55:51

I know, baby. I'm aware.

SPEAKER_00 55:54

I would approach you. If I saw you in a bar. Woo.

SPEAKER_04 55:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 56:01

What?

SPEAKER_04 56:02

Nothing. I was gonna say, I probably approached you.

SPEAKER_00 56:07

You stalked me.

SPEAKER_04 56:08

I wouldn't call it stalking.

SPEAKER_00 56:10

You ran by my mom's house. 47 times.

SPEAKER_04 56:16

That was just to give you a good tease.

SPEAKER_00 56:18

Well, it worked.

SPEAKER_04 56:19

Well, see, you reeled you right in. Been reeling you in from the get-go, baby.

SPEAKER_00 56:24

How many years what, like eight seven plus years now?

SPEAKER_04 56:28

Yeah. November of 18, we started dating.

SPEAKER_00 56:34

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_04 56:34

So we that was the first year. We spent Thanksgiving together.

SPEAKER_00 56:38

We did.

SPEAKER_04 56:38

That was our first Thanksgiving. It was November of 18.

SPEAKER_00 56:41

It's been a l feels like a long time, but it doesn't feel like a long time ago.

SPEAKER_04 56:46

No. It really hasn't felt very long. It feels like just yesterday.

SPEAKER_00 56:49

We've come a long way.

SPEAKER_04 56:50

Yeah. We're close it's our sixth year anniversary this year.

SPEAKER_00 56:54

It is.

SPEAKER_04 56:56

Wedding anniversary.

SPEAKER_00 56:58

We dated for almost two years before that. Dang.

SPEAKER_04 57:03

Crazy.

SPEAKER_00 57:03

That's awesome.

SPEAKER_04 57:04

I love it.

SPEAKER_00 57:05

Good for us.

SPEAKER_04 57:06

I know.

SPEAKER_00 57:07

Good for us. I don't know. That was a good conversation.

SPEAKER_04 57:11

That was a great conversation.

SPEAKER_00 57:12

I think we should go to bed.

SPEAKER_04 57:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 57:16

I thank everybody for watching.

SPEAKER_04 57:18

Yeah, thank you.

SPEAKER_00 57:19

C and C unscripted. This is a little hint of us, and what you're gonna probably get is all these rabbit hole conversations. Hope everybody can get a little bit of advice out of this.

SPEAKER_04 57:29

It's us. It's who we are.

SPEAKER_00 57:32

That was fun.

SPEAKER_04 57:32

It's organic.

SPEAKER_00 57:33

After the camera started rolling, I was nervous right now.

SPEAKER_04 57:36

I know you were. Once we got rolling though, we were good.

SPEAKER_00 57:40

It seems like when I'm by myself, I can record just fine. And then when I get around someone, even if it's you, I get a little nervous.

SPEAKER_04 57:48

I thought you did great.

SPEAKER_00 57:49

No, thanks, Baba. You did great too.

SPEAKER_04 57:51

Thanks.

SPEAKER_00 57:52

Okay. Catch you on the next one.

SPEAKER_04 57:53

See you later.

SPEAKER_00 57:54

Bye.
