Remember, like this video and subscribe to this page so you don't miss episodes dropping every Monday and Thursday. Okay, ready? Welcome back to another... Funny joke from Harrison. He's pretending to take a phone call. Welcome back to another episode of Two Parents in a Podcast.

1:24February. We made it. February. How do you feel? the first month of the year is over. I feel like there was like all this pressure around January. No pre-intro to today's episode? Nope. I was very excited for one. What did you want to talk about? Your workout before this? Where'd you go? Well, same place I always go, Studio 3. He's crushing a midday workout. So Harrison's new thing is it used to be wake up, go work out. Now he wakes up, he goes, he's productive, he works all morning. He gets a midday workout in which is like an energy jolt and then he he does the rest of the day twice a week three times a week i'm doing monday wednesday friday mornings tuesday thursdays are uh our midday workouts oh i didn't realize could you write that down somewhere because i'm i'm really happy to have your location because i'm always trying to find you um yeah i i love the midday workout i mean if you can make work for for the work schedule it's amazing because like it's a great break and then you come back for the afternoon fully energized so advocate of it yesterday harrison made my whole day at the end of the day i said to him do you know the best part of my day and he said what and i said it was when i looked up and you had come to surprise me at the office because i was here we have a new office downstairs okay and i was putting together the chairs and i looked up and harrison had come to surprise me there and it really made me so happy yeah I had no idea where you were as well and I saw um a little location check yeah I was working so I'm like where is she and I was here I saw you at the office and made my way over I'm like really I'm really into the location sharing now I would also like to talk about our coffee shop and this is a general coffee shop chat but here's the thing that I want to say.

3:15We used to have one coffee shop we could walk to and it, it was called Swedish show. And it was so, the line there was so long. Okay. Now we've had a new one, a rival coffee shop opened up in the area. Now what they do with this new coffee shop, I think is so genius. Have you noticed? Well, we talked about this coffee shop last week. I know, but their employees, I went again today. The girl's like, Hey, Americano, like which sounds she's talking about i get a specialized americano drink i get the large americano but i keep the same amount of shots and then i do half milk half water and like they take the time to know you and talk to you they're they're they're definitely they it's a it's a talking it's a talking culture they're engaging with you and here's the thing we're not wasting any time because so what I, today I was like, this is so smart because they're taught, they're getting to know you.

4:12They're asking me about my pregnancy every time. All three of them know how far along I am and they know it's a boy and they know I'm going to change my nail color soon. And they know I love the cookies, but here's what's so smart about it because you spend a little extra time and then the guy making the coffee, he's already got it done by the time you go over there. so actually you get out faster and you have more interpersonal communication and i think as a society like slowing down some and like stopping and chatting very the opposite of new york it's i love it like i look forward to my chat with them now jules what were you gonna say that they always comment on my nail color at that coffee shop at the one by me they're big commenter on my nail color every single time i go there so i mean we i have not i have not talked about the color They're putting the community back in coffee culture.

5:01But they clearly get some training on it if they're asking me about my nails. Starbucks made coffee transactional. And this coffee shop, we'll call it Desnudo because that's its name. They're putting community back in coffee. Now, I don't want – Swedish Shell, to me, is still undefeated. No, no, they're amazing. They're amazing. Especially when you combine the food. Look, I think Swedish Hill is the best coffee shop I've ever been to. I'll give it the best in North America. Okay. Fair. And I also think they're great with community. I think they're great with community. I think they have more customers, so it takes longer for them to get to know you.

5:42But now I love the Swedish Hill people. I've just found it to be a very difficult decision. In fact, on Sunday, I went Desnundo, Swedish Hill, back to Desnundo. I could not decide. It's Swedish Hill. Here's the problem. because the renovations are going on does noodle has a better inside because right because swedish but swedish hill once they're there they open up the new store is going to be exponentially better i don't know i'm just i'm really on desnudo right now and here's the other thing i realized while i was there while i was there i got team swedish i got a cookie i've been getting a cookie every time I go.

6:18And when I was getting it, I realized habits are formed, but the healthier habits are harder to form as opposed to the bad habits. So today I got a cookie again. And the girl was like, it was a new girl and said, have you ever had one of these cookies? And I said, yeah, every day, every day for the past week, I have gotten this cookie and it is so dang good. And I think that I've become in the morning when I get my coffee, I now crave this cookie. And I realized the same thing happens when I eat really healthy, I don't crave bad food. Now this, none of this applies when you're pregnant, but cause like I can get the cookie every meal if I want.

6:55But for you, don't you notice the healthier you eat, the less you drink, the more you crave that kind of lifestyle. Totally. And the moment you spend two days on doing it, like you go for pizza, you drink a lot, like then you undo it. And my trainer, when I lived out in Orange County, his name was Webb Travis, he always told me you can spend two months building a lot of muscle and it'll take you one week to undo it. That ratio lines up with me. He's like the good habits, harder to form, but you can undo it so easily. Like I'm like a month into, you know, elevating my, my healthiness. And it feels like I'm just starting to break into root into like actual routine in progress but i what i'm noticing too with you is like the layer below like this morning you were organizing your bedside table also what did you do the laundry bin i have no idea what you're talking about we have a lot we have a laundry basket that is um it's not leather but it's almost leather and it only works if you put the clothes in it and today i realized you squashed it down all the way you started putting your clothes on top of it do you want to honestly know what i did there what so um i went i did a little elwood a little elwood run those are sweatsuits and the thing about the elwoods i love them they're the most comfortable thing what does it have to do with the laundry bin i'm gonna get there i like i love now like it's winter i'm putting on these sweatsuits every day it's it like i'm feeling it bubs loves to wipe her hands on my Elwood.

8:39Yeah, she does. She loves to. And so, you know, within the first 30 minutes to an hour of me putting on these new fresh sweatsuits, like I get banana on them. Her big thing right now is she loves to ask for banana in the morning. First thing she goes, she stands by it. She hits the thing and I fall for it every time I give her half the banana goes into her hand. She refuses to it she just wants to carry the banana around it's play-doh and and then she loves to wipe it on me so i'm just torn because the sweatsuits aren't like they're clean but they have banana on them so it's like like do they go in the wash i feel guilty because you know like every time you wash like something colors start to fade like and so it's just what does it have to do with not getting the clothes in the laundry because i'm like i'm like oh i don't want to wash this but i have to wash it.

9:33I see. So you're, it's, you're kind of halfway putting it in there. You don't want to commit to putting it in there. So you're just putting it on top. It's the first time I've ever seen you do it. You are good at getting clothes in. And today I was like, what happened? Yeah. I'm like, it's cause I'm torn. Like, do I wash it? Do I not wash it? I'm just going to wash it. She's going to put more banana on it. Like, should I just be wearing the sweatsuit with the banana on it? The only reason why this one is clean right now is cause I put it on after, after the gym okay now the moment she gets banana on you get get it really really wet and hold it on there so it absorbs the wetness it's a losing effort it's not like there's one thing on it it's like the whole she gets a lot of it so i'm just kind of thinking like should i just embrace that because i don't want to you don't need to you don't need to wash your sweatsuit every time you wear it right correct especially not sweatsuits i mean those but i think elwood looks better the more you wash it that's my hot take i don't agree at all i think they look worse oh i think it looks like alex good that sweatshirt looks so good and i'm sure you've washed that 10 times i've a lot more than that i'm a cereal washer yeah so how could you say that not to bring up i think they look best crisp like i would rather this be unwashed elwood yeah no but i think there's something just nice about putting on a new sweatsuit that's why i did the haul yeah not an ad by the way although i did i was thinking if we did you know at some point like an Elwood Bubz collab where we did Bubz tracksuits.

10:58I think I said that before. Did you? If they made little tracksuits. They make child size. They don't make baby size. Yeah, like Bubber ones. I will fall over and die if there's a hoodie Bubber size. Yeah. You guys, lately it has been all about food in our household, especially with Tate because she now knows how to eat. Her taste buds are fully developed, so she's like so opinionated on what she eats. and that is where Little Spoon is so incredibly helpful because they have something for every meal of the day, including snacks. They have these little fruit rippers that are like little straws, but they're bendy and you can just peel off the fruit.

11:34There's so, I think kids love things that are fun for them to eat. They also have pre-made little snacks that you can take to go. They've got grapes in them, they've got crackers in them, they've got all this healthy, good food. And if your kid is just starting to eat, one of my favorite things that Little Spoon does is they cut up all the foods into bite sizes so you don't have to. Because when those kids get hungry, it is like 9-1-1 we have to feed them. And when someone's already done the work for you, it is truly invaluable. Their recipes are made with pediatricians packed with hidden veggies, which is important because I was one of those parents.

12:09I was like, I'll get her to eat veggies. No, truly, it's very hard. You have to actually hide them. And somehow my kids will still ask for seconds, which is the best. Tate and Winnie both. Everything made with real ingredients, no artificial flavors, sweeteners, or dyes. It's a rare combo of convenient and healthy, which I know we all care about. Little Spoon is the mealtime hack parents can't stop talking about. Try their no-prep, nutrition-packed meals and snacks for babies, toddlers, and big kids.

Elwood Vintage so Carn City Girls basketball Carn City Girls hoops high school champion. Let me read the back. Let me read the back. What is it? Defense wins. 18 and 0. Your microphone is nowhere near now. 18 and 0. Show me the back.

13:23It says. Defense wins. Offense wins games. Defense wins championships. Yeah, great shirt. So the other day we were at Storytime and Harrison had Tate so proudly on. So our local library, actually it's a bookstore, does Storytime every Saturday. But this last Saturday specifically had a Storytime that was a music Storytime. so instead of reading the books, they were violinning the books. It was like an orchestra. It was actually quite cool, and it was packed, so packed that Harrison and Tate had to stand in the back, and he had her on his shoulders, and I looked over, and I just saw a nice little price tag sticking out the back of Harrison's shirt.

14:00And I thought, oh, no. So I went over, and I just ripped it off, and it was this outfit right here. I love the shirt. You're supporting women's sports. Thank you for that. Of course. but where we got that's why the clothes aren't aren't in aren't in the laundry room because I just I wasn't sure if they justified the wash or not. So we're saying that the sweatsuits look better washed. Do they look better with some stains on them is the question. That's actually the question. Am I allowed to be wearing sweatsuits with stains on them? You taught me something very important my first trip to LA to visit you and I had that beautiful white Alice and Olivia suit, but it had a little stain on it.

14:43And I was like, I can't wear this. It has a stain on it. And you looked at me and you said, I am pro stains. And ever since then, like I will wear clothes with just full blown stains on them. These are big, like rubber stains are big stains. I think embrace it. It just says dad. Like it's also like a grungy sweatsuit. Like it is what you make it. Okay. So we're, okay. So then we'll take them out of the laundry machine. Well, no, I mean, you can wash them once. I'm just saying like, let me look at them. Can I look at them? Yeah. Well, obviously I wear them through the day, just so we're very clear.

15:13I wear them through the day. The problem is I put it to wash and it just didn't feel right. It felt like I had one more wear in it before I had to wash it is the point. Yes, I totally understand that. And now I get what's going on with the laundry hamper. Another thing I want to discuss is Harrison has a new favorite household item, which my mother gave us probably two years ago and it went unused and then recently it has come out of retirement we got the batteries for it and we've been really using this thing what is it oh the label printer we've been labeling so harrison has labeled all of his outfit areas and he got this new chested wardrobe holder okay and he's and your t-shirts are they're dialed this is like parent nesting.

16:00They're so organized it says Western fun gear. No, no, no. So there's three t-shirt drawers. There's light t-shirts, plain light t-shirts, plain dark t-shirts, graphic t-shirts. So Jules, where would this go? Graphic t-shirts. Perfect. Then there's two rows of button-ups. There's short sleeves and there's long sleeves. So each short and long has a Western section. Yeah. Because I'm big into Western right now. So Western shorts, Western longs. Then we have basic shorts, basic longs for shirts. And then we have fun short sleeve shirts and fun long sleeve shirts. And everything. That aren't Western.

16:40Those are not Western. Because if it does have a Western flair, it obviously goes in the Western pile. But what I found with you is this has kept our room really clean. I know where everything goes. And you're having fun getting dressed because you can see everything. It's like I am really enjoying this. As somebody who is not really taking any pride in getting dressed right now, I'm loving watching you. Thank you. Yeah, it's all this organization hack before the baby comes. Sweatsuit drawer? Yeah, you've got a sweatsuit drawer. Now, I think Bubber gets this from you. I'm not sure if kids have the ability to not like being dirty, But what I've caught with her recently is if she like we had chicken wings the other day that I made from home and she had them all over her hands.

17:25And I noticed it with the banana, too. If Bubber and she's 16 months old, so I'm not sure if this is possible. If she gets food on her hands or food on her face, I think she wants us to wipe it clean. She does. And to take it a step further, like crazy. And obviously it's different because she's a baby. but um the other day she like was was walking down the sidewalk and then scooted off of it and she got a bunch of leaves on her shin and she refused to walk until i took the leaves off she was just like yeah she's just looking at us like are you gonna go and take the leaves and then right when the leaves were taken off she just scampered back off i've also noticed the way she eats if she's got let's say blueberry raspberries and chicken she eats all the blueberries she tries the raspberries if she's not in a raspberry mood she'll leave them there and she'll go to the chicken but and she has to have her agua in the cup holder like i think we might have a very type a child on our hands which i think she gets from you i don't know about that but i think they're born so i see both sides of it but i always had a friend i had some friends in college who because you live with people in college they were super type a they were super clean just naturally clean and then some of us were just super sloppy and I always wondered did their mom like my mom was very organized but I didn't really get that trait so I always wondered is that is that nature or is that nurture and with bubs I'm thinking I think she was just born a bit like I don't want to be messy we'll see I actually like I genuinely don't have a read on this because like I see both sides like she does things like that leaves thing which I'm just like whoa like that's a very unique thing to do is as a toddler or feels like it and then there's other stuff that she does which like just completely counteracts that so i don't know of you i wonder if she's gonna have like you know maybe when she's 10 she has a really organized room she doesn't like dirt on her shoes maybe she makes her bed every day are we gonna have that baby i don't know i like i don't think she's gonna be like a make your bed every day kid i i'm just i'm just saying i'm seeing some early signs of like you don't like to be dirty and you you keep it orderly have you noticed the agua has to go in the cup holder yeah my mom pointed that out for the first time it's crazy to me yeah it's really quite cute are you guys gonna make your kids make their beds yes because i think yes one hack i i look why why no because because it's the best way to start your day but for you that maybe not for them like to me to me that's the perfect example of a decision that that a child should make then they can pay rent if they're gonna live in if they're gonna live in the house we gotta have beds made i the best way to start your day look at that look at that that's a live vicar of the week okay all right i want to know i want to know people i want to know parents at home i want to know your experience with this and i want you to comment and why you comment, please subscribe.

20:23Also, just why you're there because you're already thumbing around in the interface of the podcast. So just hit a little subscribe while you're at it. But please, I said please. Did you? I did. I don't know. Then I'm very sorry. Then I'm very sorry. I definitely know that I did. I'm so happy we're filming because we have it on record. I'm very sorry. But I would like to know if you have kids that are older, do you make them make their bed or not? And why do you make them make their bed? Here's why I think people should make their bed. It's the best way to start your day. Right out of the gates, you accomplished one thing and when you accomplish something it releases neurons and like you you start to crave that accomplishment and so here's my take my take is that you we should explain that dynamic to the children and say hey mom has thinks mom has thinks it's the best way to start her day by making her bed here are the reasons why why don't you try it for a week and see how you feel we'll have them try for a week and if they love it then great and they can keep doing it and if not who cares we have so many battles to fight in life whether or not they're making their bed like i i think that responsibility should that choice should absolutely fall on them well i'm not going to spend much time arguing with them about them to make their bed because that would be a bad use of my time now i am going to suggest that they make their bed okay by just saying rent is$100 a month here if you don't.

21:46I'm just kidding. I'm kidding. I don't have any desire for our kids to pay rent. No, listen, here's what I've also noticed of me as a mom. Like, the reason I'm happy, you know, like working and other things is I don't have a lot of time to harp on those little things. So I'm just going to kind of be like, make your bed. I highly suggest it. Here's why. Your room looks better if it's made. You know where everything's at. It's just like, it's a good life lesson. I'm like, making your bed to me is like a life lesson. Let's get that bed made. For you. For me. And so who's going to be washing their sheets?

22:23Or do we don't wash them? Harrison, do you understand how much of a large picture the can of worms are opening up here? Okay. If they have a cell phone, let's say they're 16 years old and they have a cell phone, can they sit in bed and scroll in their leisurely life? Can they sit there and scroll Instagram and not make their bed? We're going to have a family cell phone box and no one in the house is going to have their cell phone in the room. No one. Okay. Then they don't have to make their bed. Then fine. I think we're going to have a house rule, which is no phones in the bedrooms. Love it. And that rule is something that I follow and the whole family follows.

23:07We lead from the front. Lead from the front. I'm going to get two phones. I'm just kidding. I'm going to put one in the box. Everyone's like, mom's phone's in the box. No, the reason I won't do that is because if I was ever on my phone and they thought my phone was in the box and they caught me, would they ever trust me again? No. And I would love to put my phone in the phone box. I ordered. I thought I did. Did you order the phone? Where's the phone box? Just get a box from the kitchen. No, no. We're going to do that after. And write phone box on it. I'm going to set a reminder. Okay. Okay, that's one reason you can check your phone.

23:42He's setting a reminder to order the phone box. I thought I did. It must be in my cart. But I just, I don't know if we've ever said this. Like we're not getting, our kids aren't, I hope that we can stick to this, okay? This podcast is sponsored by DoorDash, which as you guys know is our go-to solution as a mom and dad whenever life throws us curve balls or you just need more me time to get things done. They handle your to-do list, whether it's dinners or diapers, and then you can get it delivered to you fast. I shared a video a couple of months ago. Well, now it's a long time ago of what all I ordered when Tate was one month old and it wasn't anything that I expected.

24:19Baby-friendly bug spray, liquid ibuprofen and diapers all made the list and you need them instantly, but you don't have time to leave the house. And that is where DoorDash comes in to handy. Parenting can be chaotic, unpredictable and complicated. Delivery with DoorDash isn't. Get order delivered with DoorDash. I would love to know the age that parents are giving kids phones now because I think the pendulum is swinging back. I think it used to be five, ten years ago. It was cool to get your kid a phone when they were like five. Right. But now now I think we're understanding the harm of phones.

24:51And so people are saying, no, no, no. If we can push it a lot later. And I think the way you do it is you have to get together with all the kids from the class. Right. Like all of your kids, friends, parents and like, hey, let's all hold off till they're 14 or 15 and give them a phone. So my parents did with my best friend's parents. We got phones at the same age. Yeah, coordinate with the community. Yeah, we weren't really comparing. But I think I would imagine the age for phones is pushed back now, the argument being safety. But I think that the Apple Watch where you're able to call from solves that, is my take on this phone thing.

25:24Because having access, it's that tweet we saw the other day. It was like, by all means, wake up, open your phone, have the news overwhelm you, have what everybody else is doing overwhelm you, have all your text messages overwhelm you. and it's like that is a lot I thought about that this morning so I meditated instead of checking my phone very nice guess what we got today in the studio wi-fi no guess what we got with the wi-fi what a landline no way we have a phone number it's cheaper yeah we got we got two phone numbers let's prank call people that's what I was thinking but it's over there we can plug in a phone I was like should we have people call in to our new phone number I don't know so I have to maybe get us some landlines.

26:06Now is the time. I love a landline. We could do a call in. We should get those little tin can phones. 100 % we should get a tin can phone. Yep. Well we have two numbers. I'll send them to you guys. I know seriously please. Yeah. We can figure it out. Harrison has opened his coffee. It's a great noise. Is that your first coffee of the day? I held off my coffee today until well before recording so like one o 'clock. No it's my second. I work the morning from Swedish show. There you go. There it is. Okay. One year with our dearest beloved Maria who has I think completely changed our lives. And do you know what?

26:49For her one year anniversary we got her purple tulips because that's her favorite colors purple and her favorite flower are tulips. Today she got Bubz a present. What'd you get her? She walked in and I was like what are those? And she was like this is my present to Tate. an agua bottle because she she really wants an agua bottle like winnie's which has the like it's a water bottle yeah it's not the sippy cup it's the water bottle tate picked it they went to the bookstore and tate picked it and then maria said and it's time for her to get mini forks and spoons so she got her mini forks and spoons oh my goodness i wanted to fall over and die i was like you are so nice and thoughtful she's the best she's sure and tate was like agua agua and then nike was the cutest thing ever but they have little rainbows on the cups anyways here's my point with maria number one i could if i could believe it had been a year i also couldn't at the same time i don't know how you felt about that it flew by but it also i just like the way my memory works is maria was there the first day tate was born i agree with that actually like i like tricked myself into thinking that so if you would have asked me all right how long have um has uh maria been been uh take caretaker i would have said 16 17 months one thing that i love about like some of my friends i grew up with is you know you don't need a caretaker when you start to go to high school right and they always had they always kept so like maria's part of our family and even at my friend's weddings i want maria to be at bubs's wedding like i want i want her to be a part of our life forever and i know she will be i can already tell just by the way that she is totally but she's just like i've when when we were talking about how it was her one year yesterday we gave together like a really long hug and i was like you have just been the best like she's a light Like I love to see her.

28:52Yeah. She comes in every day with such a positive outlook and attitude. And she has put so much focus on what she's doing and the girl's development and well-being. Like she understands them so well. And she spends just so much time like making sure that they are having the best day possible and really growing. and it's unbelievable to watch. She also, it's her demeanor with them because like yesterday Tate's getting her molars and so she just, poor thing, was in like so much pain and you could see it and Maria has the same disposition always. She is calm, cool, and collected, which I think, she's calm, cool, and collected and her energy in the house is calm, cool, and collected and I love to be around it.

29:50she's always asking me she's 10 out of 10 she's always asking me how I feel oh that's very nice she's so excited for this new baby it's the cutest thing ever well there's just there's gonna be a lot of babies in the house she's making me excited for it but I bet a lot of people like I don't know probably even that are our age still keep in touch with the people that were there when they were born and I think that's like I just think that is the sweetest relationship to have and And I'm really happy that we found that for Bubz. As am I. She's phenomenal. She also, she just, this girl, she can cook.

30:26She told me yesterday, I said, you were the best cook I know. She said, it's my love language. I love to cook for people. She whipped up an eggplant lasagna. So she whipped up an eggplant lasagna and she told me, she said, I had a best friend growing up and her mom used to make this eggplant dish that I'm making you right now. I hated it. I was 12 years old. I didn't understand why we were eating it. she said I'm going to text her right now and tell her that I'm making it for you and you love it oh fantastic I said and I said we sent her a photo last night we Harrison and I had a spoon we were in there just shoveling it in our mouth yeah it's great um so anyways a happy one year to our dear sweet Maria is what Bob Goff calls his wife who you don't know who Bob Goff is I have a question what okay um and we're gonna need to search this but I saw a tiktok on my way here are goldie hahn and kurt russell not married but have been together for 40 years yes yes wow correct i believe that is correct are they now do do but like half like happily together they're one of hollywood's most enduring and unmarried couples i saw some clips of him talking about her and they were just unbelievable yeah in a nice way in the nicest most warm and loving way well the other guy that is very nice and loving okay emily blunt's husband what's his name um he just john krasinski yeah john krasinski he raves about her all the time and it and then you see these red carpet clips of them making eye contact and they'll run over to each other like they are really cute yeah exactly how beaver treats um so what's her name hayley hayley oh my gosh no no no i love hayley and justin oh why are you slandering i have no idea i just knew i would get a reaction out of that oh my gosh she she just did this the other at the grammy i saw i did see a really funny clip and it like looked like he from the grammys because you had me watch it looked like he was in the corner like eyeing her and like you know waiting for her to come and then she like walked and she walked right past him and he was like still looking like clearly it's somewhere else i was just like oh my goodness this is no no i people people have a lot to say about them i think they've got a good thing going on i love them i think they're both very talented i thought his performance was really really cool and i just would like to say this alex warren i commented on his video that he posted saying you perform at the grammys and all you can hear and it's an echo of his song okay like if you watched it live alex warren's performance clearly he was having an yearpiece problem he took it out he put it back in so i commented on his video and i said you did a great job and it has like 700 likes but these guys they were tech talking to me and blow and they were like alex you need to admit that he didn't actually do good and i was like no no no he i am proud of for the him for the way he handled it he took it out he got on the tune like and he kept going like i thought he did a really good job handling it this is like an unbelievable example of you know being given lemons and making lemonade where that video you sent me had like within hours it felt like 14 million views so right now i'm sure way more and the amount of just like positive support that's come out uh like through it i think is way better than if it didn't happen at all because of the way he he handled it like totally he went right to social media he addressed it like everyone was kind of wondering what was going on he addressed it he didn't like finger point he didn't blame anyone he didn't get mad at anyone he just like owned the situation was still super gracious and um now i think it's only led to more positive attention on him than him just performing well and here's the thing he didn't win best new artist because olivia dean did but when i think of the best new artist category i'm thinking of olivia dean i'm all thinking of alex warren now like i bet on cal she that he was gonna win yeah great odds great odds you bet what 25 to win 600 20 bucks to win like north of 600 yeah which means that he was actually not favored she she was favored like 98 yeah she was 88 which to me is just like clearly like it was all just leaked she wasn't on my radar um because like I just I don't know but she's since become on my radar her style very classy very 1980s maybe I think her stylist does a good job she's always dressed very elegantly but like chic and beautiful and she's got this flowy hair like I'm really into her she's a star and she's dressing accordingly I know you care so much that you probably want me to talk about a big pop culture podcast.

Like, Bubz is booked and she's busy.

36:43She got invited to a Valentine's Day party on our block. and I was so excited that I couldn't possibly contain myself, and I was like, what do we do? Do we bring Valentines for the other kids? Because did you please tell me you did this in school? Please tell me you did this in school where you took a shoebox of Valentines for everybody in your class? I don't think we did. Did you have Valentines? At what age? I don't know, middle school. Oh, I have vivid memories. Starting in eighth grade, I went to all-boys school. You went to an all-boys school? Well, you guys didn't do Valentine's, Harrison.

37:19But in grade school, it was a grade school thing. Yeah. You would go to the store and let's say there's 25 kids in your class. Your mom would be like, all right, what kind of Valentine's do you want? So you would pick the candy hearts. And then you would have to go home and you would address them to everybody in your class. On Valentine's Day, you take your shoebox that you decorated. I don't think I did this. You decorate your shoebox as a mailbox, okay? and then on Valentine's Day you take your Valentines and everybody puts them in every box and then your box gets filled from your class. Please tell me they still do that today and it's a great time if you have a crush you could get them a little more and you could write something cute on the card.

38:03Valentine's Day is like a whole thing at school. Anyways, Bubz was invited to a Valentine's Day party on the block with six kids they're all below the age of four when is it it's next week and i'm like okay you know we gotta take valentine's now separate from that i was thinking why don't we send both of our parents cute little handmade valentine's cards with their hands on it love it and we could frame it love it and we could send it love it and maybe some candy love it because what we are going to do is every you know i'm a holiday person so we're gonna have heart-shaped pancakes on valentine's day oh i know i know the drill like we're going big yeah i love i love how much you love holidays and it's made me love them i love them so much now i harrison and i have decided actually you're hearing it on the pod it's so it's written the ink is dried when i say this statement okay no gifts this is completely incorrect i have requested no gifts okay i've adamantly requested no gifts, you will still be receiving a gift.
