Dieting, Vasectomies, & Antisemitism; Oh my!

So I had an interesting call this morning. I finally made an appointment. with a urologist. I'm going to be getting the big snip here at some point.

How does that work? Is it the same as, uh, for bowls where they tie a rubber band around you and wait until it falls off,

I'm not familiar with the bowl technique. But I'm going to go with no, I think it's probably a little more medically advanced. Um, the doctor's website does talk about a no scalpel. This ectomy.

So it's probably the rubber bands then.

I think it's a laser. I think it's all laser.

not.

No. I got actually probably. look up. Exactly. Honestly. website What it was. but.

I read something about a needle. It's just a needle.

I know I'm not.

puncture.

Okay. I'm very. Squeamish. When it comes to. doctors and surgeries. So you're, you're not helping me out here. Uh, the no scalpel alternative to the vasectomy procedure. Traditionally, this procedure requires an incision. Uh, whereas this doctors approach. Utilizes a significantly smaller puncture wound. and the patient generally experiences. less discomfort during or after. This outpatient procedure. So, cause it doesn't say laser, but. It's a smaller puncture wound.

Yeah. But the thought of another child also would make you want to pass out.

Um, pass out probably isn't. What I would say, but, um, Yes. Um, so after.

I think we're good on kit. So, yeah. Listen, I had to have three of them. I mean, you were there. You almost pass out. just watching. So. I think you can handle this.

I'm very, very, very nervous. the thought of a needle somewhere around there. Makes me want to vomit. and. I would rather just, if I could just be put completely under and just like, You know, take care of it. like knock me out. And then, you know, we'll deal with. The aftermath, but. I don't know if I'll be that lucky. I'm hoping I could be that lucky. But I, again, I don't know how it works.

I'm interested to find out. I'll be holding your hand and laughing at you the entire time. So.

I didn't laugh at you during childbirth. I wasn't like, ha ha. look at this lady. She's in pain.

Oh, We two different people.

No. Well, we are in the sense that if you were to laugh at me during this.

Listen. You're such a big baby though, about things like you get a cold. And it's the end of the world.

I don't know what you're talking about.

A very big baby. Yeah, most of the men are.

What do you mean you men?

You meant.

How dare

Has a woman who is now delivered three children. I can say that. I'd have a needle. Go into my back. During labor. The first time that I had an epidural. I was Shaking uncontrollably.

I was there.

You are not because they kick you out of the room.

Uh, were you shaking beforehand?

Okay. Well, imagine that shaking as they were Sticking a needle into. my spine.

I think I was laying on a waiting room chair. During that time. They don't see them. It has to be like a clean room, so they don't want a lot of people to just stand around.

All right. And I want you to like spit on it or anything.

Ah, Is that? Why is that? Where you go? Oh, Good job doctor. Let me just get a quick. Take that. mother of my child.

Well, you don't know what the relationship was like beforehand. Going to be safe about those things.

I guess so.

I'm very excited. for you. I

I'm not. I mean, I am. Cause I want it done. But I'm not, I don't want to go through the process.

very fertile. So this'll be nice peace of mind.

Well, I mean, it's not a hundred percent full roof.

Right.

There's a chance that, you know, What, what they, they cut. Develops like little tentacles and they meet each other again.

Is that how it works. You're going to grow an octopus. Your testicles.

It's not full proof. And again, you said we're very fertile, you know? it, it might just like reconnect itself and be like, it just high-fives. It's like we're we're back in business. I mean, I've been trying to read about it. And then eventually you get to the section. Titled complications. And then I got to stop. because. I don't. Um, It's scary. Yeah. There's bleeding, bruising. Infections. And

Yeah. What else is scary? Giving birth.

You know, what else is scary? I don't know if I could.

Oh, was that not part of the. Nevermind.

wasn't That that would've been a good segue. If I didn't have something to say. But what I was wanting to say, and I don't know if I can pronounce this correctly. Oh child. or, or childcare. Oh, which is the long-term pain of the testes. Which is a complication that can. happen. Where. You just have testicle pain. Forever.

If that's the case, we'll just, we'll get a rubber band.

Aye. I like your approach to this. I.

What laughing about it?

CE Sam or baby, I say your insensitive.

Oh, I apologize.

Your, your solution's always put some dirt in it. There's some dirt Mitt.

Yeah. A little salt.

That's worse. That's in fact,

Oh, Well, I apologize. Hey, I was Very sensitive. when you had your, uh, Cut out of your back.

Where are you?

Yeah. It's a carry

by the way.

I took care of you.

They were two non cancerous tumors.

I took care of you though.

We didn't have kids back

At cancer.

Huh.

I just heard you had cancer.

Wow. I'm pretty sure we're in the clear. Yeah, you never know. If you put the future holds, but. We also didn't have kids then. So it was like, you weren't like. Get the fuck up. I've got a baby to take care of.

Oh, Looking forward to having your three days off.

I have a feeling. It won't be three days off.

But you're supposed to have three days of. Doing nothing right.

You supposed to get to like Isom or something?

I asked them.

Yeah. I feel like the swelling. don't. I see. What's that look, you're making.

Nothing. Is very supportive. So.

It's not This isn't a walk. in the park. They're not like cracking my knuckle and then sending. On my way. Do I have to. Bring up. Puncture wound again.

I love you. And I pour you. And I will be there for you. Just like you were there for me. when I gave birth.

Three times. I was there three times.

birth three times, mother

Yeah, I was there for you three times.

Let's weigh those a little bit better. Okay.

Listen, we had snacks and movies.

We did.

I tried to. I do what I could. Your your second one, you bounced back. Like it was

Sorry I'm on was nothing.

Yeah, shout him out. You're like, Hey, what's on TV.

And there was one touching go moment with Rowan. Uh, I almost passed out. That was awful.

And then I almost passed out.

For me, it was The anesthesia was too high. For the epidural.

Yeah, for me, it was the whole year giving birth. Those smelling salts though, man. Never. Experienced anything that was like, Shock to my bones. I was like, whoa, all right, what are we doing? Where are we at? Where are we going?

welcome to the second episode. of this morning with. Having coffee. good morning.

good morning.

Good afternoon. It's afternoon

is afternoon.

I slept in today. Thank you for that.

You're welcome.

I appreciate you.

Five o'clock in the morning case you were wondering.

Oh, I appreciate you.

I think coffee can't solve.

Nice and all things. Coffee gives me strength. Candles has not been sleeping well. Not at all. Rowan is Very boisterous. this morning.

He's very. he only has one. And it's screaming.

I mean the rest of the family's mostly like that though. So. We do have a big loud family. Well, You married into. a big loud family. So

Indeed. I did. Lots of shenanigans.

What's that been like?

interesting. probably the word that I would use. It's been interesting. chaotic one might say, but.

Yeah, nothing can ever just be normal for us. Right. No,

it's, always gotta be something, something has to go awry. Something has to. Be out of the ordinary nothing's ever simple and easy.

No, no, I'm sorry for that. You. But, Hey, you knew, you know, going in. So

yeah, I had a pretty good idea. I think.

It makes life more interesting.

It does make it more interesting.

I don't know, that's been my whole life though. Nothing's ever gone. According to plan. it's just kind of. Um, constantly rough seas.

Makes sense. I get it now.

Well, Here we are anyway. It is Tuesday morning. I think. I think. No, It's Monday. morning. Oh gosh. Wow.

even know that it's Monday.

I don't even know, man. It's. We're less than two weeks. All Christmas, we still haven't. bought the kids any presents. Still don't know what to get

Oh, that's because. Santo. Yeah.

Yeah, of course. Of course, but you know, we also. I have to get them

Yeah. I mean, one, one or two will be. From us.

Right. So. It's a crazy busy week. And, Peppa pig is. Doing something to Rowan over there.

Yeah, I think. A tornado that was going through their house

right That's a shame. Is that right candles. Yeah, some. Puffs. Are you going to start eating? Something Other than. boobies. Any interest whatsoever. I take that as a no.

You are cute though.

It's going to be a year old. We got to start planning his birthday party.

I know.

There's nowhere to happen. No worry. I've looked

It always Ends up here. You always

I don't want it here. I don't want it here. because then we'll have. 20 some people in our house and everyone will come in and trash it. And. uh, we'll have days worth of cleaning. just like we're going to have for Christmas. And. Just not looking forward to it.

Yeah. I. I mean you're right. And then our house has become a disaster. Usually Christmas Eve. Bye. 11 o'clock at night. It's like my favorite time of the year. because the house looks

spotless,

and clean. And just the living room looks. Happy and neat. Right. And then the next day. Uh, tornado comes through our house. That's what happens.

Our house is much brighter. as I painted. The walls yellow. It's very happy.

know, I love, I love the yellow.

Right. Sunshiny blue,

green as well.

And it was very dark and gray.

The neat thing about the blue green. Is that something that we. Color match. you mix paint together.

You can find on a color. took the

paper plate. Of paint to. What was it the lows and said, can you match. And they're like, yeah, sure.

But it's the perfect

It is. It is a perfect color.

Yeah, Oh, hi there. Are you trying to get my curtains down? Oh,

Well, then he would be the third child that wants

to do.

the curtains down.

trying. for. I know you are so strong. So I wanna take a tone shift here.

Yeah. You were speaking of, uh, antisemitism,

yes. That is something that I've been wanting to talk about. the end of November, there was a bulletin issued by the Department of Homeland.

Well, a lot of people might not know this, but you, in fact, yourself are Jewish. I am, I don't know if everybody knows that or not, but that is a fact.

It is. I spent time converting to Judaism. I have found love and community in our congregation and in my faith, and it's been something that has been an incredibly positive. Force in my life, and it is rather scary. I mean, in Pittsburgh, the day after our son was born was when the Tree of Life happened and those victims were brought into the same hospital that we had just brought life into.

right? I mean, we had a perfect view of the, the helipad of them landing and, you know, wheeling people in. And

so for me it hits home. You know, I believe in an America that. Is for everybody. It is a place that was founded on the idea that you could come here and be whoever you are, that you could practice whatever religion and pray to whatever God you wanted. It is a place that promised refuge. It is a land of opportunity for every. And it is terrifying to think of what we could become if we abandon that, abandon that promise to lift up the poor, to lift up the battered and the. the wayfaring stranger.

It certainly seems like a lot of people these days have have lost that, that idea.

And quite honestly, you know what? I grew up going to a Christian school. I still have love and admiration and respect in my heart for the people that I grew up with.

dignity. Right? I mean, I, I, I agree. You know, the old saying is that, you know, you gotta earn respect, but really you should be given respect until you, you know, do such that deserve,

it's not even about respect, it's about dignity. we deserve to live in dignity and I, I believe that to my. Maybe that's not a politically popular opinion, but I believe that every human being deserves to live in dignity because every human being is a child of God. And you know, I'm a faithful person. You know, I'm a spiritual person. You know that about me. I think by now I. And I'm not a Christian, but I am someone who profoundly believes in God and, and in a purpose.

And I think just, you know, for the record, I, I'm. Uh, a Christian or, I'm not Jewish. I'm not anything. I, I

it is an interesting dynamic in our household today, It is. I

I think technically the term might be like agnostic if I'm not, you know, misinterpreting that. Um,

We still celebrate Christmas

well, right, and I mean, to. Christmas is less about Jesus and more about the idea of, of being the season of giving and giving, right. You know, to

others. Well, I, and I also think there are little boys who would wonder why Santa doesn't love them and bring them presents because they know Santa. But I, I just, I think that it's important to remember this holiday season that everyone is deserving of love and acceptance. and I would encourage anyone who's listening to go out of their way to make certain that someone in the community who is at risk or who is perhaps even fearful to give them validation for their.

Right? It's, it's the season of giving, you know.

and it's a podcast full of honesty. everything from vasectomies to our deeply suited religious views. right.

It certainly makes us

interesting. I think there's a lot of things that make us interesting, but, uh, well,

right. I mean, my, my mother was a Sunday school teacher, so it's not like I, I, I never had a religion, you know? And your dad was a police chief. Right. But I don't think that has anything to do with religion. No. I don't know. I find myself, I. I believe in, in, in much. I don't have faith in much, but who am I to say what is or isn't out there or what does or doesn't exist?

So how's your diet going? You've been eating a lot of Cheerios.

Yes. And I gotta say they taste like cardboard. Mm-hmm. they really do. they're just, they're not even like the honeynut ones. I figured there's probably the honeynut Cheerios taste. Okay. And that probably means there's more bad stuff in them. So the regular plain

cheers. The honey, like, uh, regurgitated aphid, shit.

It's a good callback for the returning listeners. but the regular Cheerios, they just taste like cardboard. And then you know the ones that have been sitting on like the bottom of the bowl, uh, they get soggy and then it's just soggy, mush cardboard. But it's supposed to like lower cholesterol or whatever that means. And yeah. I assume it's, it's, it's healthy. It's good

for you. You're eating a lot of gif peanut butter.

Right? You know, I, I'll have like a spoonful of, of peanut butter to, and the

smell makes me absolutely nauseous.

I love peanut butter. I have always loved peanut butter. Peanut butter. Is it delicious? You know, chocolate peanut butter ice cream is. It's, it's one of my like, top three ice creams probably. Mm-hmm. But I

haven't eaten ice cream in a while. I mean, I always doing like you

were doing like a a lot of ice cream. There's a lot of ice cream going through yet.

Uh, yeah. I was having like a thousand calories, but in Jerry's a day, man. But I've, I've really cut back. I mean, we both have, I was at like four

pints a week, I, I've stopped. I've stopped. That's the thing. Mine was

the cherry.

See, I don't even know what the

one, because I love the Grateful Dead two because I fucking love cherry ice cream. I don't know what the brain

that I had was, but it was the chocolate peanut butter. It was real good. But I, the thing about, you know, having children and trying to diet, like they still want snacks. You know, they're, they're, they're kids. They, they want, rice

Krispies don't need anything. So if we can get them to eat some snacks or some chicken nuggets, and, I mean, most of the time, look like yesterday I made dinner and we ended up eating off of their plates. It was too good to let it go waste

though. It was too good. I mean, by the, they, they had like 45 minutes to eat

anything and then they, do you remember that thing that you said to me yesterday? Can you say it again?

can I say that on here? No, the other thing, how about you being an amazing cook? Yes. Oh, that you've got some specialty dishes. I, mm-hmm. You know, you, you've got like a list of, dishes that you've perfected, that's for sure.

Oh, in four years I've been waiting to hear that, and here it is. Ugh. Don't you gimme that. We have a show to finish.

Um,

snacks. We're talking about snacks.

Snacks, that's right. So it, it's hard to, to not have snacks cuz the, the kids want a snack and like Right. Who am I to deny them? Like a rice crispy treat. Or Cookies? I love cookies. Oh, they love cookies. Oh, the cookies. But are, are snacks have been dwindling and I, I've not been ordering them in like our Walmart orders and. I scroll past them cause it's like your previously bought, section and I'll pass the ice cream. I'll pass the Oreos. I'll pass. Yeah. Those

Oreos were getting me, man.

The Oreos were getting me, I yeah, fucking love Oreos my entire life. I have loved Oreos. Yeah. Oh my god. I fucking love Oreos. And you know, you can criticize me all you want cause I know you think that I eat them. Weird because it's not your standard dunk, dunk it in the milk. Um, you eat them whole,

well, you shove an entire Oreo in, in your

mouth, And then I take a sip of milk and I let sit, and then it gets soggy in your mouth. Which I, I guess saying it out loud seems odd, but it's just, it's the proper. It's the proper way. It's not, it's not,

it is. You dunk those things.

You,

but then you're, you're, you dunk those sons of bitches and then they're already soggy.

It's falling apart in the, in the milk. You don't even, you drop it or don't, you're dripping milk on the counter. You take a dry Oreo. Mm-hmm. It's in your mouth, boo. And then you take a sip of milk. There's no. We get nothing to clean up or you could

not be in Neanderthal and just

Neanderthal. I think that's like advanced thinking that, that, that's like the future. You'll see Oreo ads one day where they're like, put it in your mouth. Take a sip.

Alright. You gonna uh trademark that now? Well, no cuz it's

Oreo copyright, huh? I don't know what the off-brand Oreos are called, but they're not good. You can get 'em like Aldi's or something. Trash.

But anyways, I need to lose like 10 pounds and, oh

God, I gotta lose a lot more than that but you know, I've not been buying the snacks. Yeah, I've been trying to eat less. I've been trying to monitor the hours of which I eat. I, I try. to eat past like nine o'clock. And then I, I try not to eat during the day until, you know, after like nine or 10. I didn't eat until like after one today. You know, I'm trying to, I've been like stretching it out slowly.

See, I used to just

not eat. Oh, I thought you were gonna say vomit. And I was like, no, no,

I never do that. But I would just not eat. Very unhealthy, but you know, I just, I wanna get toned up and feel a little bit more energized, you

know? Right. That's my goal. We need to hit, hit the gym soon. Yeah. That's, that's the next step. You know, you, you gotta have diet, you gotta have exercise. I just wanna

feel a little more toned, a little stronger. I haven't lift lifted

weights and

number years. Uh, I was like 114 pounds in college. It was, it was very, I don't know what I was. And, uh, I'd eat like once a day and my things that I would eat. And since the kids, you know, it's, it's fluctuated.

It, it's hard with kids one cause they take up a lot of time. Yeah. You can't exactly be like, yeah, all right dude, you hang out here, I'm gonna go to the gym. Yeah. And also when they're. Hey, I want cookies. You're no, you're not gonna have cookies. Well, then they start crying. You gotta get, get the cookies, And then they're just sitting here. They're just sitting there on the tray. You're like, well, why not have one or four, you know, four. Why not? They're right there.

hasn't improved all that.

there's only, I have no one to blame, but my parents, you know, you gotta blame your upbringing,

I guess. So what you're saying is that your parents let you eat whatever the fuck you wanted. And now here we are, letting our children eat whatever the fuck they

want. I, I don't think we need to go over the pee story eating peas.

No, go on. tell us your sad story.

I don't remember how old I was. I was probably like, yeah, I, if I had to guess probably between the ages of like six to eight. Um, my mother could probably correct me unless she probably remembers I don't. Um, but I was forced to sit at the dinner table un until I had eaten my peas. And I, and I don't like peas.

I won't eat a green bean. I choked on one when I was little. I've eaten green beans before. I mean, my mom had to pull it outta my throat. Gross. I was purple. It was like four maybe I will never forget it. Scarred me so I would never touch a green bean again. Hmm. Fuck those green beans tried to kill me. It

was assassination attempted by green bean

It was a conspiracy. I don't trust any of 'em

anymore. Green bean was out to get you? Hmm? Probably told its friends

They still tell the stories. For the time it's ancestor tried to kill me since then, won't touch him. So dieting,

we're working on it. Dieting. And then next phase is, is exercising,

not trying to do it as a New Year's resolution though, or anything? Cuz those never work.

No, never. They never do. No, I think I, I've had probably, probably had plenty of different New Year's resolutions. They never fucking work out. No, no. new year, new me. Like, no,

don't let me, not me. I've been the same person for 27 years. Now i's no fucking change in,

tell me about it. But, but, uh, you know, same here. I think you realize that Oh yeah,

after, thank you. oh, shit. That's a conversation for another

day. Over four years of marriage, you and. over four years. That's pretty cool, right? Wouldn't you say? Pretty cool. Mm-hmm.

I don't think anybody thought we were gonna last this long. Oh,

probably, probably not. I, I'm sure, people are losing in the divorce pool right now.

Yeah. Yeah. I just can't fucking get rid of you. I keep trying.

I know you keep trying

Nothing. I say not even that time. I told you I was gonna wake up every day and tell you I hate you for the rest of our lives, Yeah. No, but good morning.

I hate you because you know, I know when you're mad, you know, you say mean things. I. I do, but I, I know deep down you don't really mean it.

What was I mad over that time? Cause I don't even remember who else. I don't know.

Remember the time I ate a croutons outta your salad I thought that could have been the end I, they were good looking croutons. I don't know that it went to find my croutons, that that one was almost the end. Okay. Tell you what. Tell you. Never made that mistake again. am I right?

Yeah. You did learn about the croutons. I, I try to learn salad toppings are, that's what you're gonna get for Christmas. We're gonna buy you a big bag of croutons, olive Garden

croutons. Probably have some croutons

left. I probably do. I bet. We've been through a.

You know, who would've thought that? Uh, you know, we make it this far. It's still

going. Can't get rid of you now. The kids like you too much

The kids like me too much. That that was the plan. That was the plan. Like, well, if the kids love their father, surely she can't get rid of him. Yeah. We we would've been married longer if we would've eloped. Yeah, it's true. We talked about it a few times. We did. Eh, we were, we were only, it was only like after a few months it was like, Hey, you're it. We

almost, we almost, this is the thing. And then I was like, that's fucking insane. We can't do that.

I I was down for

Yeah.

Hmm. Well, you know. You know, right? I guess so. Yeah. Times. I don't think there's anyone else who could put up with you like I do. Probably

not. Probably not. You got that going for you and you're funny. So

Wow. I'm getting

compliments. You are, you're getting compliments. Oh, This is an interesting life we have. That's.

It sure is. You know, just when I think everything's probably predictable. Um, no. Something, something happens. There's always it, there's always a surprise.

No, nothing's fucking predictable. We sat down the other day and, uh, made out our list of goals for the next three months and six months and nine months and 12 months and two years. Two years, and five years. Five years. And our goals can't be things like, you know, where we wanna be or I what we wanna be doing. It's impossible to, I

mean, predict, if you would've told me a year ago that you would've ran for state senate and we would've started podcasting, it would've been like, eh, no. There's no way. Get the fuck out. Because we've been talking about doing this here for forever. Yeah. It's something that I've always wanted to do and to be like, well, yeah, thing we've wanted to do, we're. I would be like, no, we don't do that. We don't, we don't do things for ourselves. We don't try, No. But here we are.

cool is that? It is cool. And, and I think we're better off for it. I, oh, I think we

wouldn't be sitting right here if, if it wasn't

for it. It's true. We really, uh, found our voice and found that we have things to say that people agree with and want to hear. I

think that's important and hopefully they

keep wanting to hear. I have no regrets. I certainly, um, would not have expected to do this, and I think that that's what's so beautiful about our lives. You know, I, I, I'm certain that there are people out there who graduate high school and they have a plan for their lives and it goes according to it. And

yeah, you start your 401k at, at at 2021.

Yeah. But like, our lives are just unpredictable, but interesting and, hey,

unpredictable, I'm ready for it. And interesting.

But hey, our goals are you. Things like wanting to put in a fence

and taking on that tree.

Yeah. And planning a Disney vacation

I've only ever been there for three days. Yeah. And we went in, uh, 2019.

Yeah. We wanna take a Disney vacation.

You're there three days. We did Disney in three days. Yeah. Very quick. Mm-hmm. it's very

quick. Too quick. It was just you and I. It was really our first trip together. Um, it was our only trip together. No, that's not true. We did go to New Hampshire. Right.

But that was for work. You were, yeah. You were, like training face painters or something?

it was hiring and training and all of that stuff.

right. It was an all, all fun, and then I killed that mosquito and it all went downhill.

I was hoping you'd

forgotten about that. Oh, you think I would forget about that? We played an amazing round of mini golf. And let me tell you, I love minigolf putt putt, however you're gonna word it. I love it. absolutely love it. And it was a great time. And then we got in the car to go to dinner and there was a little mosquito flying around. I was like, Hmm, I don't want that to get me squ. And it all went downhill from there. I, I had ended the mosquito. I did not show kindness for the life of the mosquito.

squished him. You used an umbrella to squish him to the windshield,

and then we had a silent dinner Mm-hmm. over the mosquito. I'm glad you can laugh about it now cuz you were not laughing

yeah. So, you know how you said about, uh, knowing a few months in, well, I think that might

I mean, uh, I guess deep down, I, I've always known what I was getting into. It's never a dull moment. You love it. I do. And I love you.

I love you too. You're welcome. I made life interesting for you. You did it's been interesting embracing all of the chaos. that I and my family are,

and you're all chaos. I'll say that. you're all chaos. Nobody's ever on time for anything. My

mother didn't speak to you the first time she met you.

That's right. I mean, we, we, you know, walked around. Spent

hours went to dinner together and she

didn't say two words, never acknowledged my existence. Yeah. See, that's the thing. You, you gotta be ready for it and you gotta embrace it. I feel like I've embraced the, the craziness that that is our life.

It took me some time to embrace it as well, I think, uh, after high school, which I almost didn't graduate,

which is weird to think because when we met, like you were this like brilliant, student and I mean, you still are to this day. I mean you even in, in graduate school, you were 4.08 brilliant student, but you almost didn't graduate high school How does that work?

Oh, That was a really, that was a bad day. so I went, homebound for the second half of my junior year. I struggled with really bad depression so I went on homebound and I was. At home, but I was completing the work and sending it in.

I think we've had very, we had very polar opposite high school experiences. I mean, you were mostly like online. You had, you never went to any like school dances or anything? Nope. You were like a book worm at at home. I was.

I read a lot.

I think I had like the standard. High school experience. Yeah,

I was an overachiever. I almost didn't graduate, but I was a fucking overachiever. Let me tell you. I had to read the most books every year in class. I had to, I have the best grades.

I had okay. Grades. I mean, I, I probably A's, and B is a few C's here and there, but I only ever but also I played high school football, you know?

Yeah. You were that old American jock, huh?

I don't know, but just two completely different experiences. Yeah. That's okay. We'll have your, your first dance one one day. Oh,

you can go to a second chance prom or something.

What the f What is that? I've never heard. You've never heard of that? No. What the

heck is that? It's where like they have these dances for adults to get all dressed up as a, a prom.

And we didn't even have like a, like a big wedding or anything. We didn't have any wedding. We never got like, dressed up and, and danced. No, never, never. Maybe, maybe one day for like an anniversary, maybe like a 10 year. We'll do like a, a wedding of some. like a renewal of, of vows or,

mm-hmm. I would like to

that, but I've, I've always said to you like 10 year, I think 10 is the, is the number like 10 year, because our kids will be like older.

I wanted to do five year and he wouldn't let me.

I mean, it hasn't happened yet, so. It's, it's, it's not too late, but I, I think that like 10 is like a milestone, you know? I mean, I guess five could be a milestone, but like 10 is like the, the first like big, what do I know?

All right now. I'm going to go feed a baby. So. Call it.

That's all for now.

I think that's trademark. I don't have folks to the end of there.

We'll just edit it out in post.

Hope you enjoyed listening to this morning with her having coffee. And until next time.

Stay frosty.
