What? I'm not doing that. I'm with Dale. They're airplane bottles. Nips? Yeah. No, I feel like Nips is reserved for only one thing. And you know what that thing is.

No, it's a mini. Okay. I'm with you guys. Yeah. Thanks for that, Travis. Anytime. We have a game to play. Travis,

you want to tell us what the games are that? First time we're playing a game this year and it's called How Heart is it to pronounce? How heart is it to pronounce? Yes. And so for the listeners, the words will be in the description because the word will be up on the screen for Dale and Amy. and we're going to see how they pronounce it.

Go ahead. I'm going to let Dale go first because he's got the more fun dialect accent. Yeah, let's get the, there we go. Dulce de laiche. Dalsh de lais. D'Lche de lais. What is that? Do you know what it is?

Sounds French. What is it? Amy, do you know the word? It's Dolce de leche. Dolce de leche. D'Eleche. What do you think it is? I saw a video on Instagram,

this girl called it Douch de luis. And she's got an Australian accent. She's like, doche de l'loche, if that's close. Yeah, it was pretty bad. And it's a dessert, right? It's a dessert, yes.

It's like, I think caramel-y. Leche is milk, so I think it's caramel. What's that one, Ralph? Next word. it is. The next word. He's just shaking his head. He's like, not.

I don't know. Acia. Acia? Yeah. Acia. Oh, you almost had it. It's pretty close. It's assayee.

Asa'i. Yeah. You know, those frozen fruit bowls. It's like purple sorbet basically. And you get all the fruit on top of it. That's an assay bowl. I can see it. Leave right there.

You don't. You had it. Right there. Yeah. That's large enough. All right. The next word is. facade.

Vasad. That's right. Good job. Roll back up, man. Put it on the screen. I don't want you prepping. It doesn't matter. Do you know what a facade is?

Latavia. Latvia. There you go. Latvia. Sorry. I did. I see it backwards. You see it backwards?

Latvia. Yeah, I see it and I think Latavia, but Latvia. Latvia. That's a place, right? Yes. It's a country. It's a country. Yeah, I've learned that.

Seuss-Ved. Seussed. No, it's suvied. Suvied? And it's a cooking method. Have you ever had food cooked with a suvite? I don't think so. Oh, my gosh.

It's like a fine art to be able to do that. The stakes that you have if you cook it with a suvie will be the best steak you ever have. Just like super tender? Because you can pick the temperature and it's going to be exact. And then you just throw it on the, you know, to sear it at the end. And so I act like I'm done this. I've never had. My friend has and can.

And do it at home? Yeah. He has a suvia at home and crushes it. Crushes it. Yeah. I mean, it feels like that would be easy. No, I have to try that out. Next word.

Bouchetta. Oh, Bouchetta. He came out with it fast. That's one item that I hate. It's brusketta, right? I don't mind eating it. It's like Italian salsa, basically, right? Sure.

I just don't like the, because the balsamic goes on it, right? Mm-hmm. Yeah. You don't like balsamic vinegar? No, you lose me there. Ooh, you could drink that. they like vinegar too I'm good with that

yeah I'm good but let's go the next word he's waiting anxiously gyro these aren't hard that's not what it is oh gyro it's a hero

it's more like hero hero no gyro I mean this is gyro which is a Greek food it's like a lamb wrap Worcestershire Worcestershire

Worcesters or what's this here sauce Worcestershire that is one of the hardest words to say Musaka Musaka He did it. Musaka.

He crushed that one. I don't even know what Musaka is. Is that food too? It's a, I think it's like a Greek meal. It's with like, um, the kuskos and there's like dough on both sides, but then like hamburger meat or something in the middle of something or something. Hmm. Konoa. I used to think this is Konoa too.

It's Kinoa. Kinawa. Dale hates Kinawa. I mean, it's useless. It's useless. Does anyone really like Knoa? useless category. Useless foods.

Epitome. Epitome. Nailed it. Dailed it. Gnosi. Gnosi? Noki. Nocky.

Yeah. Now that's a good food. Yeah, that's a good food. And so that's the words we got. Bang, all right. Nice. I did it. I did it all right.

You did all right. Yeah. After. Dooge de luge. When you said Latavia and then Amy sent me the douche deuce de luge. I was like, okay. I think we've. We've got a game. We've got a game here.

I will say to some of these words, they're not, they're like French or whatever. That's usually where they get people. Yeah. But yeah. It's, we should put some like actual standard English words in there. We've got to, we screw some words up in our language all the day every day. Are there any words that you just always? He always says signal instead of signal.

It's a sing-nil to do. Signal? How's he say it? Signal. Signal. Oh. Instead of a signal, like turn signal. Yeah.

It's a sing-nole. Signal. He's always done that. I've always done that. Sing-no. Like sing a word. I get it backward. I put the end in the wrong place or something.

He gets that from his mom. She used to say Virginia and Famosa. Yeah. It wasn't a mimosa. It was Famos. Instead of Virginia, it's. with an if. Yeah.

Virginia. My grandma would say Cincinnati and Washington. Washington. Kenny, our bus driver, he goes,

he washes the clothes. Yeah. Yeah. He still does that. No, it's Washington. He's Washington. I don't know where you get that from.

He'd probably be able to say Worcestershire really well then, too. Oh yeah. Be able to crush that one. I'm trying to think if there's any words that I miss. People say that I say like Toyota.

Funny. Chevrolet. Chevy. Chevrolet, Chevrolet. Chevrolet. Chevrolet. But I get Toyota, people talk about how I say Toyota on the broadcast. Yeah, there's a little, how do you pronounce O-I-L?

Sorry? Ohio. Ohio. How do you pronounce the word, O-I-L? O-I-L? Oil. Oil. Got to change the oil?

Yeah. That was ridiculous. It tried to look up at the sky to try to visualize what O-I-L was. It's like Ohio. But I'm like... Like, what? Did you see the hockey? I just watched his speech at the end.

Yeah. The USA Olympics and his teeth are all smashed out. That is something else. I don't know why they don't wear mouthpieces. That's a great question. I mean, I feel like that sport in particular, it should be a standard issue. He might have one in.

You think he had one in and so knocked out? I mean, that puck coming through or whatever hitting? Stick, whatever. I'm just saying he still had a, still can get your teeth knocked out, even if you got a mouthpiece in. That one was broken and had. That was what I'm feeling before.

It's probably been broken before. And he didn't even miss any planning time. No. I would have been out of commission for a week. Yeah. I cracked my tooth of New Year's and I'm like on the entire weekend I didn't do anything. Because it hurt your feeling so bad or did it actually physically hurt? It just bothered me.

Even with like I put dental wax in but I still just didn't want to do anything. Yeah. Dental wax. Yeah. If you ever have like a chipped or cracked tooth by dental wax and you can cover up the cracker. So if you need time to get to the dent. Yeah. If I chip a tooth, nothing in the world can happen next until I go get it fixed.

Yeah, so you're like Travis. Like I can't. If I chip a tooth, I'd cancel everything until. Life is permanently canceled until it's fixed. I call my dentist and I'm like, all right, I'll be there at 6 a.m. I'm like, I don't care. Like, I'll come as early as possible. I'll get about 3 o'clock in the morning.

I'll get this fixed. I am getting this fixed and there's nothing happening until that's thing you're up. Are you like that if you have a cold too? Like if I have a cold, like, I baby that cold. And I'm like, I mean, he used to be like that. And now since we have kids, he knows he can't. Like, he can't just cancel life and lay on the couch. Yeah.

I gave him all these. I gave him a stack of vitamins. I'm like, swallow this and get going. And so he's, and they do work. Yeah. We did get real sick. Last year where we were both in the, in the guest bedroom. Yeah.

So I got it first. Shut down for like days. It had to have been the flu. I got it first. then Dale ended up with it the week later. So at least it was just one at a time. We weren't both out of commission. But it was so nice.

Amy was like, you just lay here, don't do anything, just rest. I know how bad I felt. If I hadn't gotten sick first, I would not have had that much mercy on him. You serious? I'm just going to get to lay here. Oh, yeah. You act like you're always in trouble and like you don't get to do anything fun. I do feel.

I didn't feel sick, but this is super cool. I'm just taking a vacation. Like a staycation. It's a staycation. Getting service. Yeah. Meds, water. It was awesome.

Humidifier. Yeah. I had all the things going to. I bounced right back. Got back up out of there about three days. Mm-hmm. But let's do some ask Amy. Let's do some ask Amy.

So first question comes from Tara and she says, would you rather always be hot or cold? Ooh. I think I'd rather always be hot. And I think hot. Yeah. I mean, neither one. Neither one are great. Hot.

I grew up in South Texas. Hot. I feel like I could acclimate to and get used to. Col. would be always annoying. Yeah, it would. Because you, you mean,

you literally can't get rid of that. And you're bundled up. I don't know. You can't mentally. No, I mean, you could bundle up. Is that allowed?

But then you're, like. But then you're bundled up. Yeah. Yeah. And then you're wearing all these things. I've just rather be warm. What was it like for you when you moved to Kentucky and had to deal with cold weather?

It was terrible. So I moved, um, 2000. And I went to Kentucky 10 days after graduated high school. I didn't even have a coat. Well, that was a quick move.

I was just like, I want to get out of this tiny little town I live in so bad. I signed up for summer classes and just went. And I didn't even have winter coats. So like 8 a.m. classes in Kentucky when it got cold, I didn't go. I got kicked out of English because I didn't go enough. Well, why didn't you buy a coat? I don't know. Like, it's not like winter classes was 10 days.

Like, you had time to. It's not like I didn't have an idea that it should get cold. I just didn't. I don't know. I didn't. I just didn't have a coat. And so I didn't go to class. I didn't deal with it very well is what I'm saying.

I'm like, I ain't going out. side is too cool for me. That was always the worst as wintertime walk into class. Yeah. And you're just like. And yes. And English was all the way across campus 8 a.m. I mean,

a lot of bad choices, to be honest. Typical freshman year. That's also where you got to be clever with like the scheduling. Like never too early, never too late. I thought if I get my classes done, then I have all day. I can get a job. I can do my work, whatever I have to do for class. And that didn't really work out very well.

And so I, I, I, from that day, from that semester on, after that semester, I just did classes like Tuesday, Thursday, and I didn't do anything on Monday, Wednesday or Friday. I once had Tuesday, also. And it was the best because you get a four day weekend. Tuesdays, okay, you're back. And then Thursdays are kind of tough, but you're like, just get through the day and I get four day weekend. Very smart. It was probably my favorite. And I always just avoided Friday classes. Never schedule a Friday class. That's right. Nobody wants anything on Friday. No. No. next question comes from John and is how do you handle when accidentally cussing around the kids and then they want to start saying those words. What's funny is like Dale and I stopped.

We were when I was pregnant with Ila, we used to cuss a lot. We just like Dale, the F word was like a filler word. You know what I mean? And so when I was pregnant with her, I remember telling Dale, we have to stop cussing now or try to phase that out now because otherwise it will be too hard. And so we did a good job of that. And I feel like when Ila was little, there wasn't any cussing going on. And then when Nicole came, we both kind of gave up. And every once in a while, I feel like I was the first one to slip up in front of the kids and say a word.

But they haven't tried to repeat it. Luckily. Yeah. So I think right now they're five and seven. And we're still pretty cognizant of it. But we're a little more careless these days. and I will ask if I slip up so I might be on the phone or something this happens this week

and Ila might hear it in a conversation I'm having with somebody and we're driving to school or something and I'm like Ila did you did you hear any words in there that were bad words and she'll go yeah and I'm like all right right just so you know there bad words, you know, I don't want you saying any of those. You'll have like a rational conversation about it? Like I just, it'll be like the word shit or something like that and I'll say,

In that last sentence I said, did you hear a bad word? She goes, yeah. And I'm like, all right, as long as you know it's a bad word, you're not supposed to say it. You can get older, you can say it, but you can't say it until you're older. Yeah. They're not allowed to say like dumb or stupid or anything like that. They're not allowed to call each other names like that. We call them out when we hear.

them say just stuff like that. Yeah. So we're pretty particular, but. They think the word but is so funny to say. So they'll like add that on to the end of something that's normal just to make each other laugh. Yeah. And we, yeah. I remember I was visiting my aunt and in their town was a physical dam.

Uh-huh. And so I thought it was so cool that I could use that word. I'm like, can we go see the dam? Yeah. I want to see the dam. And I was just using the word over and over again. I thought I was like, you know, I got away with one. and found a loophole.

Yeah. Yeah, that's funny. They, I mean, Cuss words really aren't that great, but there's a couple of, there's a couple of them that feel good to say, like the F word. They just does.

I was on the phone with speakerphone with Dale the other day. I was picking up both of the kids from school, so they're both in the back seat. And he calls, I think he was here all day. Is it Tuesday?

No, it was Monday, whatever. He was here. He was coming home, and he's like, what's going on this evening? I was like, well, I have bunko. And the first response,

without any hesitation, was, I'm like, you're on speaker. I don't think I said it that loud, that energetic. I just went, was that loud in my speakers in the car. I was like,

because I mean, and then I said, dude, it seems like you're doing that every week. She's like, it's been six weeks. We didn't even do it last month because of the snow and the ice.

I'm like, really? God, it feels like it's every other week. It's so big, you know. If I have a one, two hour dinner,

he's like, oh, man, she was gone forever. Because the week before we had our fantasy Football League, Christmas dinner where we crown our champion. We had had to push that off too.

So we finally did that the week before. He's like, you're always gone. But she's like, the kids are in here. I'm like, oh, shoot, sorry. I was too late. But neither one of them I've tried to say that yet. I can't believe that Nicole hasn't, to be honest. Yeah, I feel like that's coming.

We've gotten lucky. Yeah, it is coming. The funniest thing also is if a kid can't pronounce a word and instead they're cussing. Yeah. Like they're trying to say like frog. And they're saying, Yeah.

Like, that's always funny. Do you all remember the first time your parents got angry with you for saying a cuss word? Yeah, I didn't ever want to have those conversations. Like, I was scared enough of my dad, but I didn't, he never had to, like, he said he gave me a spanking once when I was pretty little because I was getting into something and not listening. And he said it broke his heart just as much as it made me sad. He never did it again. But I never really stepped out of line too much either. I always told him where I was going.

I always, like, minded the rules. I didn't ask for too much. Like, my sisters were not the same, especially Katie. At one point during high school, because she and I butted heads too, and we didn't hang out in the same crowds. I was like, you're doing this all wrong. Like, you just have to tell them where you are. And they won't make you come home at like 9 o'clock. She's like, I ain't telling nobody nothing.

I'm like, it must be a second kid thing because I've seen it and heard it, you know, so many times. But she wouldn't listen to anybody. And she got in a lot of trouble. I'm a little worried about your grandma, though, was hearing it, with this episode with all this cussing. I know. I hope Granny doesn't pay attention. Has she called to complain about your cussing yet lately?

No. But she likes to do it when we're in person. Okay. She likes to make sure that she can embarrass me in a group setting. Oh, that's funny. Our next question is, how do you think Dale would have been like as a prom date? Oh, wow. Terrible.

He would have been very quiet. I know how our first date went, and that was when he was an adult. An accomplished adult. You know what I mean? He probably would have been like this cute little nerd. What did we say on our first date? Nothing. There were no words except for it's time to go.

I don't believe that. We sat in this Mexican food restaurant that was an old church. It's still there. Well, it's changed restaurants, though. Like this was more of like a. It's still a restaurant. It was a higher end, not Tex-Mexie. And so we sat down an eight and we ordered soup.

I got black bean soup. Dale got corn chowder or something. And then we both ordered meals. And he ate his soup and then he ate mine because he thought mine would taste better. So he ate his first and then ate mine. And then when we got our plates, he inhaled his food. If you don't already know that about Dale, he really does not even taste it. It just all goes down on one big gulf.

And then at the end of that, I had had two or three bites. He stands up, puts $100 down on the table, stands up and he's like, all right, it's time to go. Are you kidding? Are you kidding me? He's like, no, let's go. straight face, not smiling. And then the whole time we sat there, it was just super awkward. Like, I don't know what to say to him.

We've been hanging out a little bit, but I didn't have like a list of questions. And it was just weird. He just, you know, gazed at me like I've said he does. He just stared at me and then ate my food and was like, it's time to leave. And there was no food in his apartment, the loft that he was living in when the house was being built. So there was no snacks in there, nothing to eat. I was pretty hungry. Yeah, would you have brought a corsage to?

Amy as a prom date? Probably. You didn't go to the prom. No. I was, I blame it on racing, but I was, you weren't racing yet.

No, I mean, I was racing at 16. I was racing at 15. I just didn't, I mean, I, you just didn't really want to do it. There was a couple

girls that I would have asked to the day, or whatever, but they all had boyfriends. Some of, most of them had boyfriends didn't even go to the school. You know, they weren't even boys that went to the school we were at. Yeah.

Because there's a lot of schools around South Irelandale and all that. And you had this girl that you liked and she'd be dating a boy at another school or whatever. So I don't know. I had friends that were girls, but I don't know. I just, uh... So as a guy, you just can't go to the prom by yourself. You just can't just go just to hang out and...

No, no. You did not go. without a day. I didn't think that you went, we had dances, right? And so at the dance, everybody would come by themselves. But the prom was for dates.

That's the way, for a couple, dates. Yeah, that's the way it was working in my brain. Yeah, probably would have the same. Did you ever have the Sadie Hawkins dance

where the girl had to ask the guy? Yes, I loved that. So in Texas, we dressed up like hillbillies too. Like, you wore just like, you're dressed down for the sandana plaid. Like the guys wore jorts.

Like, played up, very costumy. And so that was so fun. What's this called? Sadie Hawkins. Who? Sadie Hawkins, yeah. They didn't do that.

Where the girl asked the guy. Yeah, they should have done that back in the day. That would have been nice. And maybe somebody would ask me. I was short. I wasn't this thing you see sitting here today. You weren't the specimen you are now. Yeah.

I was little. You were probably cute and sweet back then. But not, shy. No, yeah, I was all those things, but not the guy you wanted to take

to the dance. Oh. Yeah. I was shorter than all the girls. Really? I was probably 5'3

when I got my driver's license at 16. Mm-hmm. So I didn't really get tall or taller till, like, I was a senior.

Yeah. I entered high school 411. 411? Yeah. I was 411 as, wow.

Yeah, 13. I was 4-11 and as a freshman, I suppose, right before I got my license. When did you sprout up? The next, like, probably like 16 months just shocked the foot. Yeah. Yeah. From like, like that 15 to like 16 range, just boom.

Yeah. That's just the difference between girls and boys. I was full grown at 12. I thought for sure I was going to be tall. And then I stopped growing. I was so sad. Like everybody, like you go home for the summer and then you come back to school. You get out of school for the summer and you come back to school and everybody else had sprouted up.

And I was like, dang it. I was sad through all of my high school years thinking that I was going to be tiny. Tiny. Like 5'8 was going to be the highs I got. Yeah. But luckily I got decent. Well, for a guy, it's probably a little bit different. Being a girl that's petite's not so bad.

Yeah, a guy you don't want to be under six feet, I feel like, is like the... Under six feet? Yeah. I feel like that's the line of... That's tall. that you want to reach. Well, you'd love that. I think, you know, I don't know, I feel pretty good.

Dale's not quite six feet is what he's saying. I'm not quite six feet. I'm five, ten and a half, but I'm pretty happy with that. Yeah. Good to tell. I don't go around like TJ going, damn, I wish I was taller. Sorry, TJ. Does you just say that?

Did you just say that? No. You can tell he's exuding that. I just thought he'd, I thought he'd, enjoy hearing that joke. But he's thrilled. The general is going to be real mad about that analysis. Anytime you want to get TJ just do a height joke, you got him.

It's very sensitive. Or, you know, rag on buffalo. Yeah, the height thing, though, I feel like you can't control it. So I don't want to always. Yeah, that's not fair. It's cheap. Yeah, but it's T.J. So there's sometimes where you just don't care because you're so mad at him.

That's true. And he deserves it. Yeah. I'm not saying just walk around doing height jokes on anybody that you. short. This is TJ we're talking about. Dale used to call me Little Legs.

What? He called me Four Eyes when we first started dating. No, I did not. Little legs. Yes, I'm petite. Yeah. What? Little legs?

Yes. At one point, you said that to me out loud. It was the only time my entire life I've been called that. Little Eggs is fine because that's like a, I feel like he's saying it from endearment like being funny. But he was trying to be funny.

He wasn't like calling me like a name trying to be mean, but he was. But did I call you four eyes. When I had glasses on. When we first started dating, I had glasses. I had contacts. And so in the evening, when I'd take my contacts out and I'd have my glasses on the bed or I'd just decide I didn't want to have them on my face, he would get so mad because I couldn't see the TV. The rather large TV, my eyes were pretty bad. And so, yeah, he used to call me four eyes just to try to talk me into getting laser treatment on my eyes, which I was terrified of.

This is the way I thought. But yeah, he wears glasses. I'm going to bear into submission with name calling. This is the way my brain worked. I was like, man, I've met the one woman that I want to marry the love of my life and will never be. able to lay in the bed at night and watch TV. What the hell? I'm like the one thing.

The one thing that I was really looking forward to in this relationship, just laying in the bed watching TV at night or in the morning, and she can't do it. Well, she put her glasses on. I could do it. But I had to take all that stuff on to go to sleep. I don't know. Yeah.

He talked me into the laser treatment. I got it done. It's best decision deal ever made for me. I thought about getting that. It was a dream. I have worn glasses since I was seven, like my entire life. And, yeah, it was a good thing to get talked into. The doctor was fantastic.

His mom took me. She had had the same laser LASIC done on her eyes. And so she took me down there in her little red corvette. And I got my eyes later. And she brought me home and dropped me off at the back door. And I army crawled from the back door all the way up to my bed. I was living with Jamie Goddard at the time. But you can't see.

You can't see anything. You have goggles on. And then it takes like 24 hours for your. sight to like fully come in but I'm nervous that something's going to happen I'm going to be blind I was terrified at the same thing but you're awake through the whole thing that's why I'm I'd rather be put out like go under and they do it well I don't think they can like they need you they need your attention that's where I would they give you a volume and then they put these numbing drops in your eyes and you don't feel anything can you smell the burning seconds no I didn't smell anything 30 seconds yeah the thing comes down it

and it goes that that that the other guy other eye and it goes that da da da da da that that and then it's done they flip the lenses back over, they put the goggles on you and said you home. Yeah, but like the flipping the lenses over is not part of the 30 seconds. Yes, it is. It's done with a machine. Oh. Yeah, I might. There's like marginal room for error as long as you're strapped down too. Like you can't go anywhere.

You're really strapped in hard. Yeah, they have your head. Like your head is slammed. And you're like I said, they gave drugs. So you're not really upset about anything. Oh. I don't like being tied down. You know what I am.

I need more than the normal amount of drugs for that. Yeah, well, horse tranquilizer. Yeah. I've thought about it You would be fine I highly recommend it You should do it You can do it

If I ever am a candidate I'm doing it Oh your eyes are just too bad You can't do it I used to have the best vision I used to have 2010 And sharp as attack Freaking badass

And then Round 38 39 it started going And so yeah I miss it Because it's like Playing like sim racing Right

So when I'm sitting at SimRacer, when I'm sitting my SIM rig, I got to wear the computer goggles that are basically the reader's prescription over the full ends. But it has a sweet spot. And outside that sweet spot gets blurry. But if you look here and there, everything's sharp. But all my peripheral's blurry. And I'm so used to my peripheral being perfect. That's another word he says funny as peripheral.

Perfiel. And so I wish I could go back and get it done. and then, or I wish I could go back to where I was. I thought, man, I miss being, I miss my eyesight being as good as it was. Yeah. There's all kinds of moments in the day when it's annoying. It is a gift. Thanks for mine.

I just thought of a word, when I first moved here, I pronounced it Jaton Road. Oh, Jaton? No, I said, that's how it's pronounced, right? I don't know. I pronounced. I said Jetton Road. Oh, Jetton. I pronounced Iridell, Iredale.

I remember the first time I was. said that out loud too. He's like, not from here. He's like, he just laughs his ass off at me. Like, who would know to say it, Irredale? Yeah. That sounds wrong. That looks like her now.

Heardale. So we have another question here. Is there a sport or activity that you secretly hope your kids don't get into so that you don't have to go and deal with? To be honest. Any travel. I don't want them to do the competition stuff, dance or cheer gymnastics. I don't want any travel.

We're going to have to do it. capacity. Nope. We can enjoy the competition. We traveled and chased you all over the country, Dale. Yes. There is a sport that's going to cost some traveling. But like the dance competitions and all that stuff, I grew up doing that.

And I remember seeing the tortured soul look on my parents' face having to sit through that all day long. Yeah. And it's only fun for three minutes while your kids perform. We got tools and things now to occupy our time. I'm not too worried about it. I mean, I hope that. I got some people that get, you know, I know some friends that have kids that are in travel sports and they, they're like, you know, once you're in, you're in, you can't really take your kid in their dream of doing it away, right?

So you continue down this path. But I want them to do sports, like ball sports. We've tried to sign them up for soccer. I want them to try. And they don't want to have anything to do with it. I want them to go for it at least, you know, try it before. And they got to do it now because it's harder to enter into that. Yeah, it's harder to enter into that when you're in, you know,

seventh, eighth, ninth grade, having not been in any kind of a organized sport. Yeah. So being part of a team is important. Make friends and learn how to work. Man, I'm going to try it. Yeah, work ethic. But I'm going to cap it at the school level.

Like we will play for our school. We'll do those things at that level like I did, but we're not going to join. like this regional club and start traveling up down the East Coast. Well, that's like what soccer softball would do. It's a big money game. They're like, they're just making money off of the parents. He's not wrong, but everything costs money.

The gymnastics costs money. You can do it and get the same fun experience, get the same life lessons, learn how to win, learn how to lose, all those things. I tried to sign ILA up to do run club after school. like they just have like a little kind of like they're not running track it's not that serious but a lot of the people and the little girls in her class will stay and do run club after school and she wouldn't even sign up for that she said please don't make me do that so I don't think that we're going to get athletes I would make sure if you can I swam oh yeah don't let your kids get to that because oh no the swim meets are all day sometimes yeah and let's say that you're in you you you're in you you're in you're usually can be in up to five events. But most of the events, you're done in like three minutes. Yeah.

So now you're just sitting there watching other kids swim and it's all day. You're trying to entertain yourself, feed everybody. It's very hard. Yeah. It's brutal. And swimming starts early. Yes. So if you can, noted.

Don't get into swimming. I was thinking something like soccer or basketball. Golf is a sport. I don't. I don't. I don't want to, I want to watch them do it and enjoy. that. I don't want to watch my kid golf. Because you have to follow up around.

No, I'm not golfing it. You can golf with them. If they didn't get it. The skill they learn how to do and we'll carry on. Yeah, you can use a golf simulator at home. Which we don't use. I want it to be like soccer or basketball, like traditional high school sports. They're girls, Ralph. I know. I see girls play those games.

They're like petite little, like petite little girls. Like right now they can get some, they can get some physical attributes by playing some sports. they need to. I get why you say golf, but remember, like, if they're in a tournament, that's multiple days. Yeah, I can go with him. He might stay home. Walking hole to hole.

Yeah. Look, I would, whatever they like that we're doing, but I'm just not going to encourage golf. I don't know. I mean, I've never enjoyed, I've never been, golf's never had any kind of role in my life. We do have a simulator. I never mess with it. I regret it.

I wish I played with it. One of those classic sports that's not going away. and that they can do for the rest of their life. They can't play basketball forever. Great. You know what I mean? Tennis, golf would be a good sport for them to learn. It's a good point.

For all the reasons. Yeah. Well, we'll see. They're not into it right now. Not at all. No, they're not. They want to dance and sing and be Taylor Swift. That's what they want to do.

Dream big. Yeah. Well, that's all I got for asking me today. All right. Thank you for your questions. If you haven't already, hit the subscribe button and check out all of the merch at Shop. dot dirtymonemedia.com.
