You guys know this, but I love my husband, but I love my sleep more. And that's why I love my sleep nor bed because without it, I don't think I would be getting the sleep that I wanted, and that is because I'm sleeping next to a person who likes their bed completely different than me.

You know, the Super Bowl football is over, and I don't know. I already just feel bored. Do you get that after football, or are you just, like, kinda like, it's okay? Yeah. No. I'm fine. It's Yeah. To me, it's just, you know, moving on. It's another day to watch reality TV and catch up on that. Yeah. Another day to eat like a fat, disgusting pig, order my Green Lantern pizza. That's what Super Bowl is. Super Bowl Sunday. You just eat your pizza. I know. But now that football's over, I'm saying is there an extra day that now there's no Sunday football? Are you binge watching reality TV on those days now? Like, what do you watch? No. No. But I that brings up a good point because I do enjoy watching the football. So I don't know. I'll have to maybe I'll read a book. Okay. I love that. Oh, no. God. Oh, yeah. Have you started that book? No. It's just there. Like, I put books sometimes around my house, and then people are like, Hugh, you read books. And then I'm like, no. I just read Us Weekly. But it looks pretty. I mean, I feel like that's not really a coffee table book, but, you know, whatever. If whatever makes you feel better at this point. I've been reading books recently. I know. Crazy, crazy. I do do a little bit of, like, the sexual books. Oh, yeah. You love a good, like, romance novel. Oh, I do. And I remember growing up, and I hope my mom doesn't mind me shouting her out. But I remember growing up and when they like, I use a Kindle, but when they used to have or I'm they still have books. But you remember those big novels, and they would have, like, the sexy man on front or, like, if you turn the first page, there is a picture of, like, a man and a woman. It was definitely romantic novels. I had no idea what was going on there because there were so many words, and I wasn't reading probably at this point. But I realized now in my older age that I am seriously trending into being my mother, which I I don't have a problem with by any means. I love my mom. I'm good with it. But there I, there are so many things that she does that I now do. Yeah. And I know we always say we turn into our parents, and a lot of times that can be scary, but I just don't think I was expecting to turn into her so quickly. Yeah. Are there any things that that you say or do, like, for example? Now I don't carry out with the act, but sometimes I'll say to Emma, do you want a whooping? Like, what is that? My dad used to say, do you wanna whooping? And then he would actually carry on with it and do the whooping. Well, now I just kinda say it. I do your cruising. Oh, yeah. You're cruising. Yeah. Yeah. You're cruising for a bruising, which I would I never finished the sentence, but they know what comes next. Again, we never put hands on our children, but it just it's, like, natural. It just flows out because that's what your parents said or did or whatnot. Yeah. But I will say there are some very, very good tendencies I have. Matthew will make a dinner or something or I not it's not me. It's Matthew. Matthew will make a dinner. And I'll just say, you know what? I'm not I'm just not that hungry. I think I'm just gonna do a peanut butter fold over. And he's like, are you kidding? That is very much my mother. Food is like, I love food, but it's not like I have to have the best meal every meal. And so there's definitely tendencies. Do you have any besides your whooping? I mean, I food for me is, like, a big one because my dad was really southern, so I love barbecue, like, stuff like that. You know? But, no. I just catch myself. Like, it's just it can be the smallest thing. It can be, like, how my hand rests on the steering wheel. And I'm like, oh, that's kinda how my dad used to drive or, you know, just like tiny little things like that. But the one thing that I think that every one of you hauls have inherited from your parents is y'all love a family party. Like, I've never seen any family love a party before. I've seen and you'll be like, this is my fourteenth cousin, Pookie, from blah blah blah. And I'm just like, oh my god. You're like, oh, you y'all have met before? And I'm like, I don't know. Maybe. I think There is. Probably. You know what? I do love I it is very true. And we have a big family. So to see I think, like, we love family parties because we don't get to see our family that often anymore. So anytime we can get together, but it's fine. You know? There's so many of us. There's goods and bads of having big families. Right? Like, we've talked about how Matthew met my family the first time, and he was completely overwhelmed, locked himself in a room, like, needed quiet time. And and I'm going, well, a small family is boring. And turns out small family is not boring. It's way more intimate. You know, it's way it's easier to stay connected when you have a smaller family. Mhmm. So, I mean, I just think there's, like, there's goods and bads of both. And I think it's really interesting that you said about the steering wheel. I wanna go back to that. Mhmm. It is so interesting to me. Kids are they are watching our every move right now, and they're gonna remember things that we're doing when they start doing them in the future. And, you know, I just think they're you know, we're going day by day, and we're just getting through it and whatnot. But I every action we do in front of our children is gonna be some type of memory or some type of click when they're older. Be like, oh my gosh. My parents used to do this. Yeah. So as like, I guess, I for me, I need to watch myself a little more. God, my mouth is so bad in front of them. It is so bad. Like, I realized it on a trip we just took with some friends. I never watch what I say in front of my kids. My kids know. They just know the rules, and that is what it is. But that doesn't mean I could be a lot better in front of them and in front of other children. Like, I said f**k four times in front of kids today last or this past weekend, and I was like, oh my god. I'm so sorry. And these are, like, four year olds. I'm going, god. I looked at Matthew. I was like, I I've I've got we've gotta have a swear jar. Yeah. I always hated a swear jar because, again, I do think these, like, kids need to understand. But at the same time, you gotta you gotta attempt. Yeah. You're throwing f**k around like it's candy. Maybe it is to them. I mean, I'm trying to be very cognizant of not touching and you're very good about this, about not touching my phone when I drive because I don't want her to see, like and who knows in eight, nine years when she's driving if that'll even be a thing. But, Yeah. You know, just tiny stuff like that. But it's so hard to be present because sometimes I'm just sitting there. And after, like, an hour or something, I'm like, I need, like, an adult moment or a conversation. I'll find myself going on my favorite apps on my phone. I'm like, what am I doing? Like, who cares about this stuff? I'm sitting here with my kid. You know? I know. I do I understand that, though. I think every parent understands that. Like, we get kind of you know, we're tired of the mommy mommy, what what what what is mommy mommy? And you're like, oh, my I mean, yesterday, I go, no mommy. And you get to that point where you're like, f**k. I just need an outlet. And, unfortunately, I think our outlets are our phones, which I'm not really sure what it was back in the day before they had the phones, the phones. I know exactly what it was because What was it? I just was in the city where I went to high school and middle school. I went to go see some family. I took Judge and Emma with me, and then I was reminded that when I was little, my mom would just kinda open the door and throw my tennis racket in my my hand and be like, come back at dinner. And I'd I'd just walk out of the house at, like, 8AM, and I'd come back nine hours later. And you could do that then. You can't do that now. I know. I miss that. I miss where where kid like and I feel like the independence is so important for kids, but it's also, like, you it's scary to allow them to have independence because of what's going on. Like, what can happen? But what do you think she did to, like was it, like, the news? Did they watch the news? No. Is that their outlet? My mom had one my mom had one hour a day where I knew I could not go into the house, and it was from one to two o'clock days of our lives. I could not interrupt days of our lives. And I'd get, like, pieces of it here and there, like the Hope and Bo story line. You don't know any of this stuff. But there was just, like, a thing called the soap opera that people used to watch. And you know what a soap opera is? Yeah. She was very into it. So I knew for that hour, I could not interrupt her, and I was fine with it. I didn't wanna watch it. So it was fine. Well, I yeah. I just my mom, I I don't know what she did. I don't think she ever had an outlet. I think like, she didn't really drink or do anything when we were growing up. I mean, now she likes to have a good time, which I'm I I'm like, good for you. Like, you honestly did yes. She did so much. She worked full time. We had all these sports. I don't again, we always talk about this. I don't know how mom or, like, I don't know how parents do it. Luckily, I have four girls, and I'm just shoving them all in the same cla*s. And, like, Tyler, I'm like, listen. You're gonna have to grow up and be with the big kids. But I don't know what my mom did. Like, I don't know by the time we were home and in bed, I feel like she was oh, you know what she read? She read the romance ensembles. That was her outlet. Yeah. Danielle Steele. Yeah. Yeah. But half the time, I would climb in her bed. So I'm sure she's like, oh my god. Like, I even when I'm reading my romance novels, this b***h won't leave me alone. This b***h. For sure, she talked like me in her head. She's like, oh god. Here she comes. Guys, I really feel like Beam Dreams powder was sent from heaven above. I love hot cocoa. I used to drink it every night until I realized it probably wasn't very good for me. But this is where Beam Dreams powder comes in because it is guilt free, but not only that, it has a purpose. It is a healthy hot cocoa for sleep. It is science backed, and I'm not kidding. They have a bunch of different flavors. My favorite is the vanilla chai and the cinnamon cocoa, which is their original flavor. I don't know about you, but other sleep aids tend to cause next day grogginess for me. But dream contains a powerful all natural blend of reishi, magnesium, L theanine, epigenin, and melatonin to help you fall asleep, stay asleep, and wake up refreshed. It's so easy to add to your nighttime routine. You can just mix it with hot water or milk. I do it with water. It just is easier for me. But if you want to try Beam's best selling dream powder, get up to 40% off a limited time when you go to shopbeam.com/morningafter and use code morning after at checkout. That's shopbeam.com/morningafter and use code morning after for 40% off. There's a bunch of different flavors, but again, my favorite flavors are the vanilla chai and the cinnamon cocoa. Alright. Speaking of an hour that you don't want your kids around, actually, I don't think it's out. But let's talk about this real halftime show. Where did yeah. You watched this on your trip. Right? I did. Yeah. So we ended up last minute. We We weren't gonna go anywhere, but last minute, you know, with everything going on, we're just trying to keep ourselves busy. So, we went to Montana, took our girls and, some friends and their kids and had a had a big old weekend of skiing. But, yes, we were there actually for the Super Bowl. They had this, like, watch party thing. What did you do? We sat on my couch. We were gonna go to a friend's, like, we were gonna go to a friend's party, but we were just tired from the weekend's activities. Activities. And so we had a couple of friends over for, like, pizza and just hanging out. And and, I mean, that was it. And my you know, I was so excited to see the Eagles dominate that game. And so then I was just kinda settling in for halftime, and I'm still learning about halftime. And it's a, I believe, a very important cultural moment for people like myself that may not have known all the ins and outs. Like yesterday, I was talking to a friend of mine at work, Sheree, and she was explaining a lot of it to me. And I felt so like out of it and so disconnected and so like not hip. And I remember watching the show and thinking like, I didn't really like that. And then when she peeled back the onion, I was like, oh, that's why Serena was there. I felt so stupid, but, I get I get I understand it more now. So here's my question, and I think it's a good question for people around our age. Do we like a better performance or performance with hidden things happening that we have to figure out later? You know, I'm a pop, diva, true and true. Easy is easy for me. I'm like, listen. I I I I I my brain's tired. I'm not trying to figure out all these messages. I really I just wanna watch someone dance and sing and all the dancers behind them and s**t like that. But I do agree with you after peeling it all back. You're like, wow. That is artistic. It's fantastic. But I'm tired. And I'm always tired. Celsius, I'm really trying to get, sponsorship. You know, I'm always tired. So I I that was which I feel like that's okay. All the parents are always tired. I thought it was great. Honestly, like, even when I watched it, I it started slow. I didn't know, like but then when the the songs that I somewhat knew came on, I can't believe he went after Drake on the Super Bowl stage. Like, that blew my mind. I'm I'm honestly surprised he played that song, but I thought it was honestly, I thought it was great. Tell me tell me about some of the things you learned, though. Some of the onion that was peeled back. I wanna know exactly now. I didn't know about Serena Williams and Drake. I didn't really fully understand the Samuel l Jackson thing until it was explained more. Well, explain it. Well, essentially, in the the the configuration of how he had people on the stage was kind of like, you know, what he was saying was, you know, black America is incredibly important. Obviously, we know that. And black America helped build this country. And so when they were, like, kind of and then they were divided at one point on the stage, and it looked like a flag, and he was in the middle. I mean, there and then, you know, Samuel L. Jackson has played characters that, you know, kind of gone against the grain, and now he's uncle Sam, but uncle Sam is really a white character. I it's just there was there were a lot of racial overtones, and then there was a lot of feud overtones. And I didn't really understand the whole feud between him and Drake and then the Serena Williams part of it. And then when Smith, ESPN came out, and I'm curious to get your take on this. He said if his wife did what Serena Williams did, he'd divorce her. Wait. Because she's a married she's a married woman, and she's going out on the Super Bowl stage trying to diss her ex boyfriend. And he's like, why is she caring about her ex boyfriend? She's married to me, and he he, you know, kinda came after her for participating in that performance. You know, I don't who'd you say this was that came after her? Is it Stevens Smith, the guy from ESPN? Of course, it was. Yeah. I I think he likes to be controversial. So, I mean, that's, like, his that's, like, his thing. Right? I would say that her husband probably has a lot more confidence in their marriage than, I guess, what Stephen a is confident in. I don't know. Because to me, that's going there's a lot more going on in there that I think Serena to I would have done it. Like, making a statement, if if what is going on with Drake is true, which I I imagine I'm looking at Kira. Okay. What was alleged? Alleged. If that's my ex, I'm every every chance I get, I'm gonna I mean, that's horrible. It's a horrible thing to be do. Like so, again, I mean, I I just think that there's confidence in your marriage to be like, yeah, girl. Go do it. Like, go go Crimpogo on that stage. Who cares? Who cares? And she, you know, previously had done that, I believe, at Wimbledon. She'd done that after winning a tennis match and and got in a lot of trouble for doing that because that's not proper tennis decor. Oh, of course. Tennis and golf, man. They're still buttoned up sports. So, so, again, that that was a part of it that I didn't understand. Like, when Serena popped up, I was like, is that Serena Williams? So, like, it it took me a moment. I'm not gonna say it was my one of my top five favorite Super Bowl per okay. So if you have to do your favorite Super Bowl performances, what would they be? I mean, I was there for Beyonce. Okay. Beyonce when she reunited with Destiny's Child. Yes. Yeah. In New it was in New Orleans. In New Orleans. Yeah. Okay. It was New Orleans. Okay. That was good. The one for our school was incredible with all the old school rappers. Yeah. I'm trying to think who I mean, like, who are the middle of the year? Like a a spectacle, like Katy Perry and Lady Gaga who, like, really, like like, they use those fifteen minutes to do, like, five different sets and six different costumes. Fly through the air and s**t. Fly through the air. You know who else I thought was good? Bruno Mars. Bruno Mars. It's anyone, honestly, who is a entertainer and a performer. Sucks because I think when you're there, you don't get the show. The two the show is on the TV, and I think that was very apparent in this last Kendrick Lamar one. I think the people who were watching on TV got a far better show, which is there's more people watching on TV, so that makes sense, than the people who are actually in the stadium. And I think that goes for most halftime shows. If you can somehow figure out how to do both, it's impressive. And I do think the entertainers, like the Beyonce's, the Bruno Mars, the The Madonna's. Them like, people who can dance, sing, and they kind of have a stage presence about them, those are the people that can do both. Yeah. But I I just need someone who can dance and sing. Now, historically, if you Google it and you Google best halftime show in history, do you know who comes up as number one? This is somebody who I'm sure you enjoy, but you it probably wouldn't be in your wheelhouse. But they say that Prince's performance in Miami when it was pouring rain is, like because, you know, purple rain, and it's pouring rain on him, and he's playing guitar. They historically say that's, like, the best one. But I'm sure. You know, he's, like, a musical genius. You know? Yeah. So Yeah. I I again, I I mean, I thought it was good. I we lost a bet, Matthew and I, in a card game, and the bet was during the Super Bowl halftime show, we'd have to get up in front of all those people and, like, dance to it. And Matthew made the bet, and then we we lost, which is annoying. But you know me, I'm I'm good to get up and dance. I don't have a problem. We got up really, I got up. This a*****e's not getting up. I got up to complete the bet, and it was at the beginning where I knew nothing. I didn't even know the beat of the song. And I'm looking at him in his bell bottom jeans going, I need something. I know. And then he started playing what is it called? Not Like Us. I don't know. Not Like Us, which I did know, and I tried to, you know, dance to the beat a little bit. But no one in no one in, the place we were at really knew Kendrick Lamar. So it was all older. It was all We were with old white folks. That's that is that is very right. We were with some old white folks. Yeah. But but mostly old. But it was great because we saw, like, a ton of people went up and scanned the Apple Music code to see who it was. Yeah. They're like, honey, how do I scan? I'm where how what what do you do with the phone? What do you mean I gotta pull up the camera? What does the camera have to do with this? I mean, I I could see my mom and dad. You're like, what what does this mean? What's a QR code? I mean, it's true. Were there any commercials? I mean, you were in a big setting, so it might have been far hard to follow them. I really I thought the Harrison Ford Jeep commercial was great, and maybe you missed the audio. But at the very end, he's like he gets in it. He looks right at the camera, and he's like, I love a Jeep, and my last name is Ford. And I'm like, oh. Get it? I do get it. I very, very well done. The the I liked honestly, I'm I'm a huge stickler for, like, old school nostalgic thing commercials, especially especially in a day and age where we don't get to watch commercials. I feel like these commercials should have been the best f**king commercials because what do you like, what are you doing otherwise? There's no other commercials really running. I mean, no one's really watch so, like, these should be mind blowing. I wasn't blown out of I I wasn't you know, my mind wasn't blown. But, I did love, like, the old school Budweiser with the Clydesdales. I just thought, again, nostalgic and and so cute with the baby Clydesdale. But I also loved the Bud Light commercial with Peyton and Post Malone and that comedian who's really good. He does a really good Donald Trump impersonation. Yeah. Have you seen him? He I gave me FOMO. How much fun does that party look? Yeah. I was like, I wanna be there. This looks so fun. I thought the David Beckham commercial was really good too with Matt Damon. I didn't see that one. They were they were twins separated at birth, and Beckham was in, you know, The UK. Matt David was in The US, and then Beckham came to visit him and meet him for the first time. And he's like, Beckham, somebody kicks a ball, and it, like, shoots it into outer space. And he's like, man, you really know how to play soccer. And then, like, Matt Damon, like, did it too. It was great. It's cute. If you've ever been in the market for a new home, you know home shopping can be a lot. There's so much you don't know and so much you need to know. What are the neighborhoods like? What are the schools like? Who is the agent who knows the listing or the neighborhood best? And why can't all this information just be in one place? Well, now it is on Homes.com. They've got everything you need to know about the listing itself, but even better, they've got comprehensive neighborhood guides and detailed reports about local schools, and their agent directory helps you see the agent's current listings and sales history. Homes.com collaboration tools make it easier than ever to share all this information with your family. It's a whole cul de sac of home shopping information all at your fingertips. Homes.com. We've done your homework. And then you had to watch the game. And when you're when you're in an environment like that and Yeah. Because you were, like, in a public space even though it's kind of a private place, but it's a public space. And and Matthew Stafford is watching the Super Bowl. Do people kinda leave them alone, or do they do they kinda come up to them? They leave them alone? Alone. I it's very well known at this place that you just leave people alone because there's a lot of people, if you know what I mean. Right. It's not like you're, like, Applebee's. So, like, I get it. But, like, I was just wondering if people are like, oh my god. Matthew, what do you think is gonna happen? You know? Like No. I there were a lot of people that came up to him and were like which, like, did not help the situation. I was like, man, if you woulda had that one play, this could be you guys. And I was like Ah. That's I mean, I get what you're saying, but, like, don't say it. Do a lot of people have the balls or the the curiosity, like, you know, to say, like, so what's next for you? Like, are you, like, staying with Moran? Like, people don't do that. Okay. And, honestly, well, it would be very like, they would get the same answer they're getting from everybody else. It's like, I don't know. I don't know. Right. But, yeah, I it was funny. He said that he was walking our kids somewhere the other day, and this woman rolled down her window. This was, like, two weeks ago. And it was like, go Eagles, baby. And he, like, looked at her, and she immediately was like, oh, s**t. Like, she, like, panicked at what to say. You know how people do that? They, like, panic? Right. And so she said is someone that we see a lot because our our kids go to the same school. So now I think that's why she panicked because she said it, and then she was like, oh, s**t. I have to see this guy every day for the next two weeks, whatever. And so every time we see her, I Maddie's like, she's right there. Yeah. And I'm wondering, like, what is she gonna say? What is she gonna say? But I do think people panic, and it's normal. Like, it's not like it's a problem. It's completely normal. Again, when there are things that people say when they're trying to compliment him, My favorite used to be, man, I'm like, your only fan still left in Detroit. Like, I think you're incredible. He's like this is when he was still in Detroit. He's like, thanks. Like, I don't really know where to come back there, but I I guess I appreciate that. So anyways, I yeah. That people don't say anything there, and I imagine because they just probably know that it's inappropriate to say something. But there were a lot there were quite a few that came up that were like, man, you were one playway. Look. I mean, I feel like this could be you. And you were just like, it's a compliment. They're meaning it to be a compliment. Yeah. It's just a dagger to the heart over and over again if you were saying that. Alright. Really quick too. I, we had what speaking of I wanna hear about your weekend, by the way. You said you went to family? I am emotionally, spiritually, and physically exhausted, And it involves two words, water park. You went to indoor water park? I haven't recovered. I have not emotionally, physically, spiritually recovered from it. I was wondering why your eyes were a little pink. Is that pink eye in the water? No. The best is I I can roll with a lot of stuff and whatever. This was in a town called did you ever go to a town called Frankenmuth when you lived here? Oh, no. But I heard about no. I don't think so. It's like a German village, but they have this gigantic splash pad. Now Judge, who's born and raised in Michigan, has never been to the Frankenmuth, which is home of, like, chicken dinners where they scoop the mashed potatoes with an ice cream scooper, like, that place. Yes. But I I enjoy it all. I don't think he had the same appreciation for all of it, that that I did. And I'm gonna show you this, you're I'm gonna I'll I'll have Kiki post it, but this was his face when he walked into the restaurant where all the servers were, like, laterhosen, and they're scooping the mashed potato. I don't know if he's excited or mortified. Just shocked. But the water park, first of all, it's very expensive, and it was packed. I don't know how how everybody I know in the packed part. Oh. I do not enjoy rides like you you do enjoy rides. My daughter's a thrill seeker. We were kind of telling her to get on her tippy toes to get on the big slides, and she did. And they made me go down with them once, and I've had three nights now where I've woken up at four in the morning, and I'm on that inner tube with them. And I'm shooting off of it. I've break through the gla*s. I'm on the road. Ambulance is there. It it did not treat me well. The entire experience did not treat me well. I have a I have a question. When you when you go to a water park like this and then you get on social media, are all of your social media, like, your suggested, are they water park, like, mishaps or roller coaster mishaps? I didn't I don't think I posted anything from the water park when we were there, so I think it kinda, like, didn't hit my thing. But I will tell you, there were different groups of moms who came up to me, podcast fans, from all over the state of Michigan or somebody from Ohio, and they were just like, wow. Like, you know, I I know that you're really involved with Emma, but didn't expect to see you here at freaking move at the splash pad. And I'm like, listen. We had a day. We needed something to do. It was listen. It was great. It was fine. She loved it, but it's it's the best thing and the most horrifying thing all wrapped up into one thing. Is this, like, is this a what is this water park called? It's called Zender's Splash Village, I think, or Splash Pad. It's gigantic. It's That's what I was gonna ask. Is there, like, a wave pool and s**t in here? Oh, there's a lazy river. There's two separate areas. There's seven different slides. It's huge. Okay. So when you walk into this place, because there's a place like this well, there there's a chain of places like this, and now I'm gonna forget the name of it. I took the Hari or Great Wolf Lodge. Great Wolf Lodge. Yes. Okay. Yes. When you walk in and it smells like straight up Chlorine. Strongest chlorine you've ever smelled, does that make you feel good or not good? Well, I think if you're thinking about, you know, eliminating all the pee that's in that water probably because there's so many kids, I guess I'd rather have the smell of bleach and chlorine and just know that I'm gonna lose a few layers of skin. Maybe I should just approach it like kind of like a visit to the derm. You know? A nice little peel, if you will. You know? Free peel. Free peel. I took a shower quickly afterwards, but I remember at, like, three in the morning, I was like, judge, my skin is so itchy. He's like, we just sat in a vat of bleach for three hours. He's like, of course, it is. Hers. She loved it. The kids loved it. It wore her out. So, again, it's it was the best experience, and it was also completely horrifying. I wonder I just something just came to my mind. I wonder if anybody has ever put, like, Aquaphor all over their body so the chlorine doesn't penetrate, but it also makes the slides way faster. Probably. Now these two had come up with a plan to make the particular slide we were on even faster than it was, and I could tell they were manipulating the raft as we were going down. And I did not appreciate that. So, I took a time out, and I went and sat in a corner and looked at realtor.com why they, did their thing because I was not happy with them for that moment. So what? I adults and theme parks or water parks with their children is probably one of the tougher things. And I will say chef Chris took, CJ for his first first birthday to Disney. And he told me that they were going, and I looked at him, and I just said, make sure you try to sneak in some alcohol. Because you think about a one year old, and you think about waiting in lines, and also the fact that they're not tall enough really for anything except for, like, the teacups and the but every parent that wants, like, they do it. And I do think it's weird because Disney is, like, you think Mickey Mouse. Right? And you're like, oh, well, my kids only like Mickey Mouse until they're four, and then they grow out of it. So we gotta go to Disney early. Turns out, Disney is far more than just Mickey Mouse and princesses, and he can't really ride anything when they're that small. And I thoughts on that what are your thoughts on the the whole campaign they had for adults to go to Disney without kids? What I didn't see this campaign. You haven't seen, like, go to Disney and enjoy it without children just like parents go there and have a good time. Is this a commercial? Yes. They've been commercials. It's been a campaign. I don't watch commercials, Hank. I am Would you straight up on the streaming services. Would you enjoy going to Disney with just Matthew and not your children? Yes. Maybe Disney got settled. Yes. Okay. Yeah. You would enjoy it. I you know, not necessarily, like, the rides. The rides would be fun, But, like, they there's a good restaurant, especially the one in California. There's, like, this one restaurant that you have to work really your a*s off to get into. What's it called? Club thirty three. Yeah. It's really hard to get into. They have this whole and I will say they have a lot geared towards adults towards the nighttime. So I think that's what if we would go now Matthew's not a massive theme park guy, but, again, it wouldn't really be for the rides. It would be more so for that. You know what? We went to, Disney World, and they had that wine or or that tasting around the world going on, food around, and that I would absolutely go multiple nights to if I lived in Florida. Because the food like, we tasted two of them, and they were insane. Wow. They bring in chefs from, like, all over the world for that. Yeah. No. It's only, like, what, a month long or something? I hate to even admit this to you, but I just started googling Disney cruises. I was together? Yes. Let's go together. I would totally do that. Let's go. Let's go. I but I only wanna do, like, a three, four dayer Okay. From, like, from, like, Fort Lauderdale, Miami to, like, The Bahamas and back. I'm in. You don't even That's all I wanna know. Yeah. It doesn't need to be long. You know, it does it really doesn't. And I think my kids need to go now if we're gonna go because I do think, eventually, we're gonna be on the Royal Caribbean again. You know, like, the age situation, sometimes I feel like you can age out of some Disney stuff. Have you done a Disney cruise? I have not. I've never Oh, people love them. I know. Well, because because they take your kids from you, and they just, like, deal with it. Also I I hear that it's also very clean. They take their kids from you. The food, the drinks are supposed to be really good. There's a casino. Like, it's all the things that I'm okay with. The seasickness part still makes me nervous, but you have the availability to helicopter me out of there if I need to. So I will go with you. But if we hit some real rough seas and I need a chopper, it's easy to get one from Miami to The Bahamas. I love you. I'm not giving you a chopper. I'll I'll get I'll give you some Dramamine. Yeah. I'll I'll bring the Dramamine for you. I wanna go I'm I'm a % serious. I wanna do this. Maybe we should make this a thing like Heather McMahon did where she had, like, filled the cruise ship with, like, people that, listen to her podcast, and we can get a whole bunch of parents in their heads. Yeah. I don't think Disney is gonna give us that, like, kind of pull, but maybe. I think you'd be surprised. Okay. Y'all, I'm loving hormone harmony from Happy Mammoth. It has really kind of helped me with a lot of things. I mean, I was having night sweats. I was, you know, having racing thoughts, obviously, with everything going on, low moods. But with hormone harmony, it has been a wild change. You know, when your hormones are off, it throws everything off. And as we age, hormones could get thrown into whack. And this is why I love hormone harmony. It is an herbal formula that fine tunes the hormonal system, kinda like a musician tunes a guitar. It doesn't just help with estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. It also helps with stress hormones such as cortisol, you know, that little troublemaker that can contribute to weight gain among other things, which, you know, obviously stresses us out too even more. I mean, it's super easy to take y'all. And according to a survey, eighty percent of women started losing weight, seventy seven percent say it improved their mood, and the biggest benefit, a hundred percent of women surveyed that they're just feeling like themselves again. So for a limited time, you can get 15% off that entire first order at happymail.com. Just use that code kelly at checkout. You know what I was surprised about, so you're being surprised. When we were in Montana, we're at dinner for Matthew's birthday, and it's me or us, the Plouffe's, and the Clausons. And we're at dinner. We're up the gondola, kind of on top of mountain eating dinner, and I get a text from the babysitter. It was like, hey. Hunter bumped her head. Do you have any gauze? And I'm going, stuff. So I'm like, FaceTime me. There's three sitters for the nine kids. We had nine kids there. And they FaceTime me, and I Hunter is very she's always super, super tough. Like, she's a one of my toughest she is my toughest one as of now. And so when they call, she is hysterical, like, can't breathe, and I'm going, s**t. And I'd had a few c**ktails at this point, so I'm like, oh god. I also am realizing that we're in the middle of nowhere and we have no car. I mean, we just get right there. We don't leave the property once we're there. So I'm like, alright. I'm gonna come down. It's a, you know, twenty minute ride down the gondola to get back to our place. So we get there, and I tell the girls, I said, call the medics. Luckily enough, where we are, they have their own, like, ambulance medics and fire department. So they get there. And you know when you've just been drinking and you're a little paranoid that they're like, this mom is horrible because she's drunk and her kid split her head open? Yeah. I don't know if you've ever had that happen, but I literally was just like, this cannot be happening right now. I mean, it was at the end of dinner too. So, like, it's a birthday. A lot going on in our lives right now. I'm pretty sauced up. My kid slits her head open. You weren't there. I was not there. I get there. The medics are there. I'm holding her, and I know they can be like they're like, this b***h eyes their bloodshot. Like, what what's happening? And I finally, I was like, listen. It's my husband's birthday. I've had a few c**ktails. So if you're gonna ask me questions, like, you might get some weird answers, but just know that I'm doing my best. And they they were very kind. So, anyways, we're all in there like, hey. We need to take her to the hospital. Like, she's gonna require stitches. I was like, oh my god. So I was like, how far is the hospital? One, because in the back of my mind, I'm wondering if this is an hour away. We're gonna have to put some glue on it and call it a day. Now in a blizzard, there's there's snow happening. I'm going I feel like there's more that can happen on an open road in the middle of the night with a blizzard happening. Can't we just, like, patch it up for now kind of situation. Well, luckily, they're like, it's twenty five minutes. I was like, okay. We can do that. And that might sound terrible, but that's the truth. Okay? I have three other kids there. So, I was like, alright. We have no way to get there. That's really what's in the back of my mind too. I'm going, oh, I can't drive an hour. There's no Ubers. There's no taxis. There's literally nothing. Like, once you're in, you're in. And so they're, okay. Well, we can we can drive you in the ambulance. And I'm like, okay. Here we go. This is Hunter's second ambulance trip of her life. The first uh-oh. The first one that was my sorry. Alarm to take the kids to school. Not yet. So, anyways You're That was Oh, yeah. That was the ambulance. Yes. That was but that was also another reason that if the hospital was an hour away, I'm going, I I have no way to get us there. Like, I literally have no way. So finally, like, we can take the ambulance. We get in. Hunter is talking up a storm as we are like, the medics can't get a word in. They're, like, trying to ask her if she remembers what happened, if and she's like, so when I'm going skiing tomorrow, like, I like to french fry. I don't like pizza. I mean, she just wouldn't shut up, which I've never honestly heard Hunter talk that much in my life. And I don't know this is where I don't know if it's because I don't ever spend one on one time with her like that. It was she didn't shut up. I finally was like, hey, Hunter. You gotta let them ask the questions. She's like, oh. So So they're like, what happened? She's like, we were playing tug of war, and my hand slipped, and I went back and I hit the, bedside table. And this is what this story is. She's girl is fine. She got stitches. She was on the slopes the next day. The story is after the babysitter, I got texts from all the babysitters being like, we are so incredibly sorry. We should have been in we should have made sure they weren't roughing around. They should have already been in bed. And I'm going, guys, they're kids. Like, I I feel like this generation, we're all afraid to fail because if you fail, you just lose everything immediately. Right? We don't we don't account for mistakes anymore. Not that it was a mistake. And I texted them all back, and I was like, listen. Kids are gonna be kids. Like, we also have to let them figure this stuff out. We can't just protect them at all moments. Hunter is fine. Yeah. Was it troublesome just because it was a birthday and I didn't have a car, and I also you know, I had a lot to drink. Sure. But that's life. Like, you you figure it out. And I do feel like we are so quick to anger as humans now that when someone makes a mistake, they think they are just gonna get jumped on by. Like like, they thought I was gonna be, like, calling this club saying they're horrible babysitters. They can't work anymore. When I'm going, this is you had nine children. Something like this was bound to happen. Kids are like, I want them I need my kids. So the way I have four girls. I need them to rough house a little bit. Get kinda be like, they gotta learn to be tough. So, I just thought I was really intrigued. Actually, two things happened on that trip, and it wasn't the babysitter's boat time. It was another thing that happened where this person was like, I can't believe that you didn't, like, jump on. This person spilled a drink on me, like, a a server. And I was like, I they're like, you know, whatever. And someone's like, I can't believe you didn't like it was it was an espresso martini, so it was brown all over my white situation. But Oh, like, the entire drink? Yeah. Did they comp your dinner? No. They comped I'm sure they comped my drink. Uh-huh. I just think people we have to understand that We're too cute. Yeah. Thing and things are gonna happen. And, like, let's not instead of jump like, jumping on someone, let's, like, show some grace. Because maybe then the next time they get spilled on or whatever, they'll show some grace. I don't know. I just if I feel like everyone's so quick to anger these days, and it is like a everyone has to be perfect or they're not that no. We we won't have it. You know what I mean? So You've a very wise words from from Kelly Stafford today. I enjoy it. I don't know if it's very wise words. I just was good. It's it's good. Yeah. It just happened twice. And these poor sitters are young girls. I'm going Yeah. Listen. You're gonna make bigger mistakes in your life. Okay? We all do big mistakes. Listen. This is my third time in an ambulance since January. It's not your fault. I love an ambulance ride. I love it. Now now I'm thinking about it. You did send that on Saturday. And at first, I was like, oh, this is from when they were in Arizona. Arizona. Yeah. So I was just like, just another day. How about I didn't even realize this too? Hunter was making a silly face when I took the photo because I was like, I'm gonna send it to daddy because daddy was still at dinner just so he knows that she's okay and she's being silly. And I sent it to y'all, and I think I sent it to my family. And my mom was like, oh my god. She's concussed, because her eyes were crossed, and she was making, like, a face. And she was like, oh my god. Is she okay? Like, all these things, I was like, oh, no. Yeah. She's fine. That's a silly face. She's good. She's good. Yeah. But, anyways, it would you know, again, I think just we need to calm down a little bit. As Taylor Swift says, you need to calm down. Take shake it off as Taylor would say. Shake it off. Shake that espresso martini out. Whoo. I do have one very big problem, though, and I need to vent for a moment, and I I need to hear your advice on this. Oh, god. Experiencing rapid weight gain because I have hundreds of these Girl Scout cookies in my house. Now here is my question about the Girl Scout cookie, and I I've decided I enjoy almost all of them, which is problematic. Oh, that's tough. You open the box Yeah. And you get the sleeve Yeah. Sleeve. I am required now to eat every one of these cookies. You're right. I have to clear I clear the sleeve. Once it's open, I clear the sleeve. And guess what? Again, I may lose this bat, but I don't think I'm in the minority. I think there are sleeve clearers out there that are with me and standing with me, but I will eat if it's open, they're gone. I I did it last night in an entire sleep. You might you might have some people that are with you, but those people are also experiencing rapid weight gain. Here's what I'm gonna tell you. Get a ziplock bag. Eat three and put the rest in the ziplock bag. It still stays good. Who are you? Keep them in don't keep them in the little container? No. Ziplock bag those b***hes. They'll be good fries. The sleeve, though, not because of how it's, you know, maybe it's because my mind tells me that because it's packaged this way that this is one serving. No. Turns out the calorie count doesn't tell you that. It says how many says per serving? Eight per about eight servings per your tank container. Five cookies is 160 calories. Five cookies is how to add Five cookies is your serving. That's a serving size. Five. Yeah. I mean, five is basically what happens just when I open the top. They just pop like that. And then that's a 60 calories. So that's this is telling me a 60 times eight. Yeah. Sounds like more than a thousand, and that's what I did last night just coloring. No, Hank. Ziploc bag it. Don't do that. Don't do it. And I'm sure there's people with you. But like I said, they're also experiencing a rapid winter weight gain, and and that's that's that's why. Also, those are probably the healthiest ones for you, aren't they? I don't know. I just a minute. Let me go to my freezer where my stockpile of thin mints are. I would love let's do this real quick, and then we gotta sign off, but I'm I'm into this. Which cookies, girl scout cookies are the best? Oh, thin mints are the bomb, and I think they're the best for you. And they're in my freezer. They're both a 60 calories for a five. But Oh, no. Thin Mints is four. Thin Mints is four servings. s**t. Okay. The box is shorter. Yep. That's because they're they're they're thin. The cookies are thin. So the box is smaller. I'm so sorry. I don't know what to do about it. I have to I've been like, I'll drive down the street, and I'm just throwing boxes out the window. I have to get rid of them because, Will you send some to me? I'll send them shipping. Oh, that is rude. The f**k? Yeah. I'm just kidding. Of course, I'll send you stuff. I have a whole bunch. What what do you enjoy? Thin mints? Thin mints? I I like the way you said that. Yeah. I like thin mints. I like the tag alongs, and I like the Smoas. Oh, and I like the s'more cookies. Oh. S'mores those those are bomb. Do you like Do si dos? No. Oh, Matthew does, though. Matthew's a do Smoas. Do si dos. What is Smoas calorie count? Samoas are a 50 for two. Yeah. Those are I'd weigh 900 pounds if I was into Samoas. I don't like Samoas. Those are dense. Those are some dense cookies. Those are dense. They also make you dense. You know what I mean? You don't want Do si dos. You want Samoas. Okay. Alright. Tagalongs tagalongs. The peanut butter chocolate? Come on. Yeah. I gotta find those. I have those somewhere. And samos. Okay. So this is your audio description of Hank's pantry. Yeah. It's just all it's just all cookies. So bad. It's a big box too. Okay. Fantastic. Alright. Well, with that, guys, we are gonna wrap this episode up. Make sure if you are in the state of Michigan, go find Hank and take the cookies out of his car because, clearly, he doesn't own a Ziploc bag. And other than that, you know, we will keep you updated on our end. I know there's probably a lot of people wondering what's gonna happen in my life, so am I. So once we know, you'll know. And, Hank, I'm I'm glad to know that you're getting medicine for your double pinkeye situation that's happening after that water park because, clearly, that chlorine wasn't strong enough. Nope. And what else? And, yeah, everyone, you know, stay safe. Be patient with people. Have some grace, and we will see you soon. Grace. I love that. I wanna put that on a T shirt. Have some grace.
