I think there's some things that Well, I don't know maybe there's something you want kids to know something you don't but Man, I I remember I was I kept everything a secret when I was a kid Everything Everything was a secret. I would get you know, I remember I get me a little bit of money

doing uh Doing odd jobs or something Real odd You know, we had this old lady by us. We used to steal our cats And then we would keep them long enough till she you know We'd help her write up a wanted poster, you know wanted little caramel You know wanted little quagmire, you know two dollars on there And then we put the poster up outside

Two days later bring that little bastard back and get the money And I don't know if she knew we were doing it or not she had to have now I mean, I don't know. She might have had Alzheimer's. I mean she might have had This back they didn't have Alzheimer's then they said all that, you know Oh, that bitch is nuts. That's what they would say And I didn't say that I wouldn't say something like that But they be you know, somebody drive by all that bitch is nuts And I wouldn't say it man, because I don't say, you know, I wouldn't say that kind of stuff. I was a child

And plus I was you know You know, I was extraditing cats or whatever it's called You know laundering cat money You know living that wildlife so Who am I to judge a single mother out there laundering cat money? You feel me gang gang, baby? Oh um

Let's get into another call. We got another single mom on the line And I remember we went how well I'll just get on with her What's going on with you? We had such a good time with uh you and your sister woman on the go-karts That was such a blast. I thought I know we and her are just talking about it too And we did we had such a good we're just Get ready for school all this craziness. I don't even know what's going on anymore I know I just had this feeling yesterday like what is going on anymore people are wearing

Some of these masks aren't even read like Like what is going on? I know it's I feel like well and it is what happened my kids went on spring break and Haven't been back to school since so it's been like one really long drawn out spring break And have they do you feel like they want to go back to school or they do they feel like school doesn't even exist anymore? What's it kind of like from their perspective?

It's been it was really hard at the beginning because They didn't understand like explaining to them that I think at first they were like excited. They didn't have to go. They were okay with it. Then they realized that It's not a vacation like you have to do school And we can't go anywhere. You can't see your friends And probably in the first month Everyone just went it's stir crazy like and it got depressing. We couldn't go the I couldn't take them to the store I couldn't take them to the store and I had to keep explaining to them that

We really can't go anywhere. You you can't go anywhere. I can't go anywhere Yeah, this is we're stuck together and this is how it's going to be for a while So it's been like waves of like, oh, you're excited and then it gets depressing and Yeah, now it's like I still don't know what to tell them because school is going to be two days um

in person and three online So it's like it's not even going to go back to the way it was Why it seems so bizarre. I feel like I can't plan for anything and then they moved school back to It was supposed to start this coming up week and then they moved it back to september 8 So I've been getting to a point where I forget it's happening and I get in a panic like It's cool. It's cool starting tomorrow. Like did I miss something? So, yeah, it has been really confusing

Every day. I'm like, holy shit. It's tomorrow christmas. Like is it today my mom's birthday? Like I never I don't know what any Yeah, every day. It's just everything. It's like, oh, shit. I got to do this. I don't know what's going on Yeah, do I need a flu shot? Am I supposed to go to the emergency room? Like what do I do today? I almost forgot what grade they're in Like who cares give them all give them all diplomas and let them work at home depot I mean the last time they went into school. They had no idea this was going to be the last day Of elementary school. It was their last day of middle school. Right and nobody knew we just thought oh, we're going on spring break And then all of a sudden. Yeah, you're not coming back

So do you feel like there could be like like mental effects from that or do you feel like that? They're pretty resilient like I would it almost feels like you don't even get to tell your friends buy and stuff I guess you're gonna see them again, but it seems bizarre I feel like my mental health has been impacted quite a bit. Um, and yeah, I did I felt it started to make me really sad because I could see the shift in their behavior Like I could see especially my older kids because I have a 16 year old daughter and my son is about to be 15 Those two I think it's been the hardest for those two. Wow. Well, and my youngest boy has autism and And this dude likes things to be the same. He likes to know what to expect

And when he likes structure And all of a sudden there's none So getting back into a regular pattern. They've done they did a really great job at home though. I mean for having five of them They did I was impressed by how good they did but they were I could They were starting to get sad and then that makes me sad because it's like and I can't do anything Hmm. You cannot fix it. I'm like, oh, we could go on a walk. How many times can you walk around the neighborhood? Yeah, without being a peeping tom That's my question, you know

Yeah, and you don't want to be a family of peeping toms. That's the most embarrassing thing you could be like check out the weirdos are coming around again The crazy lady with all those Yeah, they're all flashers now do um, has it gotten um, do you feel like where do you feel like y'all's morale is right now like, um Are they excited at least to be going back for the two days? The kids like a through h. Mm-hmm are going. Um On one block of time And then the other kids are going

So alternate shifts so the my kids will go Tuesday and Friday. God Yeah, everybody does homeschool on Wednesday Then the other so if their friends have different last, you know, the last name doesn't fall They don't get to go to school with their friends and then for me my anxiety has been off the charts Like so, yeah, it's been the more I don't even know I don't even know to call it anymore. I got a lot of feel. I don't know what to do or what to think It is the most bizarre long drawn out thing I've ever it's yeah, and I don't know what to I I tell the kids all the time like My mom didn't do this. My mom's mom didn't do this. We're figuring this out together. Don't be mad at me because I am

It's new. I'm trying. I don't know what else to do. Yeah, so yeah, it has been It's been really Overwhelming and I think I was okay until Now because I kept telling myself that school is going to start and things are going to go back to normal And then as soon as they started making the announcements about school I realized that This shit is never going away. Yeah, and It's it might be worse because expecting them to be like this at school

like I just feel bad for all of them. It's just such a it's a weird space to be in For them for me. Yeah, I don't know what to do and I don't the right thing to do is like I don't want anyone To be sick. I don't want my kids to get sick, but at the same time you have to live like this is not I agree at a certain sometimes it doesn't feel like living. It's like And hopefully we'll get to some better medium surviving. Yeah. Yeah. We're yeah. We're surviving. Um, I agree Yeah, I agree. Sometimes I'm like, man, I'd rather just take my chance and just live Um

But we'll deal with it when it happens if it happens I'll be careful when it happens. You just deal with it. I think too My kids had a lot of health problems when they were younger. So I've been through a lot of nasty stuff anyway so I feel like I can handle Quite a bit and we'll just it's I've lived one day at a time for so long Mm-hmm that I can do it like we'll just see what happens and we're gonna be okay But not it's the unknown if you you can serve me anything like a big

Load of shit, but if I know what I'm dealing with right I can get through it. Yeah, not knowing what I'm dealing with It's I don't like it Yeah, there's something about yeah, they don't let you yeah, they just they just keep serving you shit But they're not really letting you you know bring your diapers every day They used to let us bring our diapers every day and they're just not doing they're they're they're not yeah And it give me some tools to navigate this shit and I'll do it. Yeah, but don't don't let as a mother Don't have me wake up every day and not Yeah, that's a lot of pressure. I didn't really realize how much that is on a mom

Yeah Um, but I would come back, you know, my family um is all here And uh Um, so kind of do like a back and forth thing. Yeah, um, almost like you were talking about with your nashville

But uh, yeah, it's it's it's scary. It's it's Yeah, how's it been? Is it been um Did you have a lot of expectations? Has it been harder than you thought has it been like what ways has it been tough? And what ways has it been good? Um, well, it's been tough just saying, you know, just leaving My routine my business. Yeah trim scene is is you still trimming?

That's kind of a big scary deal And um And you know just being around family. I already see it paying off in ways of like, um Like my son's being around my dad who like, you know, they've not been raised around him I've been across the country and just getting um

knowledge and learning things from him that I can't give them, you know, and just Uh, just a broader spectrum of exposure. I think I think it's gonna be good even though it's Can be scary Wow, it's so brave. Yeah, no, it's funny. You say that similar to kind of like doing with with uh, trying out in ashril. Yeah, it's like Yeah, it's it's It's scary, but the all all all I can do is just kind of be hopeful with it and And make the most out of it and also then I can be excited about it. It's like

There's two ways. I can do it every every day. I'll wake up wherever I am. I can either you know Give in to kind of the tough parts of it or I can be like, man, I'm excited about Right. Possibility. Yeah, I'm learning so much about reframing Like I love it. It's it's it's it works. I think yeah I like that. Yeah I think it does work. Yeah, it's so true It's like I think sometimes if I say if oh, I have to do this and then if I can change it sometimes to say

I get to do this no matter what it is um Then it can really really just help me have a different experience. Um Right. I think a lot of people it's so funny. A lot of my friends have been messaging me about Moving and going back to you know, some of their hometowns or places where their family lives I'm having a lot of friends who are doing that right now Um, well, I think with everything going on in the world, right? It's It's like it's comforting. It's comforting to be supported

Yeah, yeah, that's a good way to say it. It really is. Um Yeah, there's something that's It's almost like the rat race has kind of been exposed like for like, what am I? You know, I don't mind being a rat, but what am I really racing for? Right. No, I totally get that and just um, yeah, it's brought a lot of things of like, what is important? What is really important? What do I want my days to look like? What do I? Um What what do I want? You know, like, um, what's up with any new love interests over there in the ohio world?

Or what's that been like? Um, well, it's so hard to date in uh in covet times, right? Dude a friend of mine he went on a date with a woman and she had he she made him He had to pick her up and she sat in the backseat of his car with a mask on okay Then that's not even the worst part They went to a restaurant and she sat at a different table than him Extra safe I think I would feel comfortable like meeting outside at a park

You know, you know, yeah, look, I think it's slow. Yeah, take it slow If the guy's not dead after the second date or you're not dead, I think after that you guys are safe Right if we survive two weeks then Oh, yeah, we're good. Yeah, I like that Well, you look I mean you look absolutely stunning. Who's doing your hair right now? Um, I'm doing oh actually, you know what? I did get a haircut since I've been here Because I used to work here.

Yeah. No, it is. It's like, yeah, it's like, what do I want to do?

Like it's been so long since I really asked myself like what I really what do I want to do? You know, am I just doing stuff or do I? Do I have some dream or some or an ambition or just a Do I not want to do anything for a little while like, um So, yeah, it's just so interesting that this is going on because there's there really are some positives in all of this You know that I don't even know if we know what they are all the time, but But I know I do know that they're there Right. Well, isn't that like supposed to be the thing where like, uh,

from Eau Claire Wisconsin Uh, um, let's hear from her Hey, Theo. It's Emily from Wisconsin. We met almost two years ago now in Minneapolis for single mom's night out That's crazy. And I do remember that. Uh, and I have some photos too and I'll drop those into this as we, uh, go through your video. Okay I'm not too anxious about the fall with kids going back to school because my son will be five So he would be in 4k this year

and I'm just Not gonna send them because I'm not okay with a lot of the things going on right now with requirements for wearing mask for school age kids And it's just something that I don't want to support because I don't believe in it whatsoever Well, I I I I love that. I love that you um Yeah, I'm I'm sure it's tough for you know, moms have to stand by what they feel is best and so That's what a mom is and so I'm glad to see you, uh, trusting your instincts I hope other parents are making the same decisions and doing the best that they can, but I understand it's not always the easiest Um, no dating for me during this time. So I don't have any good tips or tricks

but I can say that I moved in with my boyfriend Last year the end of last year and this has really been a time to force us to work on things and you know, address some things that I probably Wouldn't have in the past. I maybe would have just dipped and run Um, or found the negative but I really relied on him for support and he's been really helpful with my son and With my job and everything else. So wow That's really amazing to hear that. I think and I think I remember you were in chiropractor. I believe um And yeah, I mean I think being together and in those relationships and you got to figure it out

I mean, it's like a damn ufc right now for relationships. It is they closed the cage And you're in that octagon. This is um It's real bare knuckles these days um So I'm glad to see that you you're doing well with that COVID's been great actually financially

just emotionally spending time with my family And my company is opening a second location next week that will be mine to run So I achieved one of my goals and dreams for my life to have my own clinic. So I'm really excited Thank you so much for all that you do shout out to my brother who's been sober over a year And he just loves and digs your podcast same with me gang gang Gang gang. Thank you. Emily Thank you for the video. Uh, congratulations on your business That's amazing

You know, one thing I do remember about you is that you were very uh You're a go-getter you know and um And go-getters get They do they really do Uh, congratulations to your brother You know just uh You know, it's obviously that you really care about him and I think he even texted me about I think we we even texted about him once

I I don't even know what I was doing a lot of times um But congratulations to your brother congratulations to you. We want to send something nice, you know So you could go do something fun on behalf of the podcast and um But that's so cool. You're opening your own clinic Man, that's awesome

And it sounds like a lot of great things are happening in your life and uh, thank you for sharing them with us It sounds like you deserve them um Man, I'm just so loud. I didn't realize how lucky I am to know so many cool chicks Uh Yeah, I just feel so lucky um And we didn't get to reach out to all the single moms, uh, but

You know, we we did what we could and and we just wanted to put together an episode and so I'm glad we're able to make this happen And thank you to all the moms for being a part of our Uh, just a part of our lives in a little bit of a way You know, I think one thing that I'm reminded of by all of these women, uh Is just I guess I just feel grateful that they all cared enough to still Communicate and be a part of the show and be a part of uh

Of my life and in our lives and um It's cool You know, uh You know, I really just wanted to kind of get back to the roots of of things that made this podcast feel good to me When I started You know, and one of those things has been You know connect them with You know when I was a kid, I never got to I never really you know

You can only talk to you can only do so much for your mom because you're a kid You know, you don't get to be a man for your mother when you're a child You just get to be a kid And so often I think You know, you want to be able to be more but you're just a child Um And so it's nice now as an adult that I can get little pieces of Well, I don't know what it is. Uh

I guess it's selfish in some ways, but it's nice as an adult now that I'm able to No, it's not. Well, it is selfish. I guess but it's nice that I'm able to interact with mothers Who were at the point that my mom was when I was a kid and just I And just Just let them know that people care, you know Because I think you know when I was a kid, I think I probably wanted someone to let my mother know that and And I and no and there wasn't somebody around to do it

And I couldn't do it, you know, I was a kid. It just wouldn't have been I wasn't thinking that way. I was just a child You know, and I couldn't our relationship wasn't like that, you know Um This just today for me just a nice reminder of You know, you think about space they got people in space and we go looking out there And you think, you know, they put a man in a dam, you know, half of a Toyota Camry and shoot him out there And you know a third of the time the damn thing the engine, you know blows out on the way up

Just looking into the nothing we're just looking into the nothing And that's good But sometimes, you know, it's just a nice reminder You know to get just a touch hold of the things that are holding on to us You know to check in with our mothers to check in with our fathers To check in with our stepmothers or our stepfathers or our pseudo mothers even You know, we got a bunch of secondhand moms here You know, I bet you if you were a

TPW a fan or listener you could walk up to any of these single moms and And tell them hello and And you'd have a special place in their heart and vice versa And that's just powerful. It's just You know, it's just a reminder that, you know, it's I don't even know if it's a reminder, but it's You know, sometimes we're out there looking I'm out there looking so hard for stuff and And we got You know, we out there in outer space. We're out there on Saturn

Meanwhile, we got women here and over there And we got women here and over there and over there and over there and over there and over there And over there on Saturn. Meanwhile, we got women here and Eau Claire. We got people here in In Columbus and Arcada You know, we got people here in In Chicago We got people here in In, um

In Utah You know, sometimes it's nice just to know that Or just to remind or remember that the that some of that connection that we're out there hunting all the time is You know, it's it's already there You know, it's our roots And yeah, just and it's You know, it's nice as a child. I couldn't you know, I couldn't do things for my mother I couldn't tell I couldn't be a man and tell my mother how I felt

And now I get to be a man and I can look back and I can connect with people that are in the same space and And just be a part of just letting these women know that they're loved That's all and they're not asking for it. They're not I mean we picked these ladies out of the damn ether But but they just return it right back, you know and uh And I just feel grateful I think just to know I don't know. I don't know what I feel exactly. I but I do I feel good You know, I feel good that You know when I was a kid there was you know, I couldn't

I couldn't let my mother know That I cared as much, you know, I couldn't I couldn't help out. I didn't have any means to help a little Even if she wasn't asking for it to help a little You know, I didn't have the voice I didn't have the voice as a child to say You know, hey my you're doing a good job or I'm proud, you know, I just we didn't have that connection, you know, we didn't have it But I can take that same template That same missed opportunity that I you know and I can apply it now You know and that's one of the gifts of of just existence

Is to be able to fill in These spaces of of our past with uh Uh With the people of um Of right now You know, if you didn't get to be good to your sister go be good to someone else's sister, you know, I don't know I don't know what I'm saying, I guess but But some of them I don't have to look real far to find what you know, I don't have to look as far as I think

And um, yeah, I'm just really inspired. I'm inspired by these moms And I'm inspired by dads too.
